Dropping a range of stashes ran a refresh after each drop. A refresh
issued from the UI thread does its git work on a worker and applies the
model update in the background, so firing one per iteration let the
workers race: an earlier drop's refresh (which read a stash list that
still contained a later-dropped entry) could apply its result last,
leaving the stash view showing an entry that git had already removed.
Refresh once, after all the drops, so a single worker reads the final
stash list. The indices are captured up front and dropped highest-first,
so the remaining lower indices stay valid without an intervening
refresh. It's also cheaper: one `git stash list` instead of one per
entry.

moveMainContextToTop copies the current top view's content into the view
it's promoting, to avoid a flicker. The source can be a main view with a
live streaming task (e.g. resolving a conflict promotes the merge-conflicts
view over a main view that's mid-diff), and CopyContent both read and
published that source's buffer unsafely:
- it read the source's lines/viewLines while locking only the
destination, racing the task's concurrent Write; and
- it aliased the source's row slices into the destination, so the
source's ongoing appends (growslice reading the shared array) and
refreshViewLinesIfNeeded's in-place wrapping-cache writes (&lines[i])
kept racing this view's rendering after the copy.
Lock the source for the read, and shallow-clone the row slices so the
destination gets its own arrays. The per-row cell data is immutable once
written, so it stays shared -- the clone cost is proportional to the
number of rows, not their contents.

The patch-building scope ran RefreshPatchBuildingPanel directly on the
refresh worker, where it read the commit-files selection and set the patch
view's origin off the UI thread — the latter raced the UI thread's draw.
Bounce it onto the UI thread, exactly as the staging panel just above
already does, guarded on the generation so a repo switch drops it.

The custom-patch git operations (move/pull/delete patch, and their rebase
continuations) run on worker goroutines and call PatchBuilder.Reset when
they've consumed the patch, clearing To and the fileInfoMap. Meanwhile the
UI thread reads that state every layout — the options bar and the mode
indicator both call Active() — so the reset raced the render.
Add a mutex. The map's entries are only ever touched on the UI thread, so
the lock only has to serialize the To field and the fileInfoMap pointer:
readers snapshot the pointer under the lock and iterate the local, and
getFileInfo drops the lock across its git diff I/O rather than holding it.

The test harness enqueued ErrQuit after a test finished, waited for the
program to go idle, then slept a fixed second and declared "gocui should
have already exited" if it hadn't. That fixed grace is fragile: under the
race detector the shutdown legitimately takes longer than a second, so
nearly every test failed with that message even though nothing was wrong.
Wait for the main loop to actually return instead. gocui now closes a
loopExited channel when MainLoop exits, and the harness blocks on it; the
existing 40s watchdog still fails a test whose loop genuinely never quits.

PopupMutex guarded CurrentPopupOpts against a popup being created on a
worker goroutine while the UI thread deactivated it, or reset it on a
repo switch. Now that popup and menu creation is bounced onto the UI
thread, every access to CurrentPopupOpts — create, deactivate, and the
reset-on-switch (which already runs on the UI thread) — happens on the
one goroutine, so the mutex protects nothing.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Raising a popup or menu pushes a context and mutates the popup views, so
it must happen on the UI thread. But it can be triggered from a worker
goroutine — for example a WithWaitingStatus handler that hits a merge
conflict and calls PromptForConflictHandling, or a worker that shows a
confirmation — where it raced the UI thread's layout and draw code.
Bounce the creation onto the UI thread at the one point where the popup
and menu producers are injected into the popup handler, so every caller
stays oblivious to the threading. For a caller that is already on the UI
thread this adds no delay: the main loop drains the enqueued closure in
the same event-processing cycle, before it draws.

When a command task reaches EOF it runs onEndOfInput, which reads the
view's line height (and thus its dimensions) to decide whether to scroll,
sets the view's origin, and flushes stale cells. Reading the dimensions
and setting the origin are UI-thread-only, but this ran on the task's own
goroutine, racing the UI thread. Bounce onEndOfInput onto the UI thread,
as we already do for the new-task origin reset. It's once per render, so
it doesn't add the per-line UI-thread churn that streaming the content
would.

A view's line buffer, its viewLines/tainted flags, and its hover state
are all written from the command-task goroutine (under writeMutex) as it
renders. But three accessors reached that same state from the UI thread
without the lock: SetView and the GUI-resize path cleared a view's lines
directly, viewsToRedrawContentOnly read the tainted flag, and Buffer read
the line buffer. Each raced a rendering task.
Guard them with writeMutex, matching the view's other buffer accessors.
These are reads/clears of state writeMutex already protects, not new
callers of it -- the view's geometry stays outside the mutex.

A command task streams its output into a view from its own goroutine. To
track soft-wraps (so cursor-positioning escapes from a pager land on the
right line) the write path read the view's live InnerWidth, and the pty
setup read its InnerSize -- both off the UI thread, racing the UI thread
mutating the view's dimensions during layout.
Capture the width on the UI thread instead and hand it to the task: the
escape interpreter keeps a screenColMax it reads from, seeded in NewView
and refreshed per render via View.SetContentWidth (called from
newCmdTask/newPtyTask before the task's goroutine starts), and the pty
size is computed in the after-layout callback rather than in the task's
start func. The view's dimensions stay UI-thread-only; the task uses the
snapshot rather than reading them live.

The throttle flag is set from the goroutine that watches a task for
being stopped, and read when the next task starts up -- two different
goroutines, so the plain bool field was a data race.

The readLines channel, by which a running task is told to read more
lines as the user scrolls, is swapped out as tasks start and finish. It
was a plain field written from the task goroutines (when a task starts,
ends, or is replaced) and read from the UI thread in ReadLines/
ReadToEnd, so those accesses raced -- a longstanding data race (and a
plausible cause of the occasional "main view stops updating" hang, since
a torn read there could drop a scroll's read request).
Make the field an atomic.Pointer and give the running task a captured
local copy of the channel for its own send/receive, so the field itself
is only ever loaded/stored atomically. No lock is involved, so there's
nothing to untangle later.

When a task renders different content to a view (a new task key), the
view's scroll origin is reset to the top via onNewKey. That ran on the
task's own goroutine, racing the UI thread, which reads the origin
(OriginY) while laying out and drawing the view -- the single largest
source of view-render data races.
Give ViewBufferManager a bounce primitive (onUIThread) that runs a
function on the UI thread and waits for it, and reset the origin through
it. This is the first use of the primitive; subsequent commits route the
rest of the task's view mutations through it too, so that the view is
only ever touched on the UI thread. It runs as background work
(OnUIThreadAndWaitBackground) so rendering doesn't count towards the app
being busy, matching how the render's gocui task is already created.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The closures that render static content to a main view (newStringTask
and friends) ran on the ViewBufferManager's task goroutine, calling
SetViewContent/SetOrigin/ResetViewOrigin directly on the view. Those
touch view state (the line buffer, hover cells, the origin) that the UI
thread concurrently reads and mutates while laying out and drawing, so
they raced it -- e.g. a string task's SetContent clearing the view's
lines while the UI thread's CopyContent read them, or its SetOrigin
racing the layout's OriginY read.
Bounce the whole closure onto the UI thread instead, so the view is only
touched there. The bounce blocks (OnUIThreadAndWaitBackground) so the
task still completes only once the content has actually been rendered,
which the integration-test idle detection relies on; the background
variant keeps it from counting towards the app being busy, matching the
existing treatment of view rendering as work that must not block a repo
switch.

We used to run some refreshes with a BLOCK_UI mode that causes it to run
on the main thread, blocking it. The two main reasons for doing this
were that in some cases we want the UI to update all at once, rather
then each panel when it's done refreshing (and in particular also render
a selection change in sync with the list update, e.g. when checking out
a branch, where the checked-out branch moves to the top and gets
selected there), and that we wanted to block keyboard input while the
refresh was running (so that people who like to work fast can "type
ahead"; e.g. press `e` to start an interactive rebase, and then `up` and
`d` to set the next rebase todo to dropped).
There were two problems with this: it blocked UI updates, so for
checking out a branch the status spinner would spin while the git
checkout command is running, but then freeze while the refresh was
running, which looked ugly; and also, for the "type ahead" scenario it
isn't enough to block events only while refresh runs, but we'd have to
block them during the entire operation.
This PR makes several improvements to this mechanism:
- it separates the two concerns: updating the UI all at once is a
separate RefreshOptions flag that can be set regardless of refresh mode,
and blocking keyboard input is a separate mechanism independent of
refresh. The two will often be used together, but don't have to.
- remove the special WithWaitingStatusSync mode that we used for cases
where "type ahead" support is especially important (mainly moving a
commit up/down): this used to work synchronously on the UI thread to
ensure that input is blocked, and used a special mechanism to still draw
the spinner. We don't need this any more now that we can block input
while doing the work on a background thread.
- get rid of the refresh mode (SYNC/ASYNC) altogether. We have had
separate Refresh/RefreshFromWorker calls for a while now (since #5767),
and the rule now is that all RefreshFromWorker calls are sync and all
Refresh calls are async.
Fetching pull requests can take a long time, and we don't want to delay
the refresh by it; in particular, for a WithWaitingStatusBlockingInput
we want the UI thread to be unblocked again while pull requests are
still fetching in the background. This is similar to how we fetch the
behind values for branches in BranchLoader; this will update the UI
without much flicker when done, and doesn't have to block anything.
The two branches of the `refresh` closure ran the scope function
identically; they differed only in that the UI-thread path registered
each scope as its own gocui task while the worker/demo path used a bare
goroutine (and only the latter logged per-scope timing).
Those per-scope tasks were redundant. performRefresh always runs under a
task that stays busy until the wg.Wait in waitAndFinalize joins every
scope goroutine: the calling worker's own task when called from a worker,
or the waitAndFinalize worker task when called from the UI thread — and
that task is created (busy) before the triggering event's task goes Done,
so there is no window in which nothing is busy. Repo-switch safety and the
integration-test idle signal are therefore already covered without giving
each scope its own task.
Collapsing to the single goroutine path also means the timing log now
fires for UI-thread refreshes too, not just worker ones.

Nothing calls it anymore now that the commit-surgery operations run on a
worker with input blocked. Remove the helper, its bespoke synchronous
spinner loop (renderAppStatusSync/setAppStatusContent), the popup-handler
plumbing, and the interface method.
That loop was also the only thing suppressing the yellow "Rebasing" mode
indicator (and its reset button) while lazygit drives a rebase itself.
Move that suppression to WithWaitingStatusBlockingInput so it applies to
every input-blocking commit-surgery op — including the ones that already
ran on a worker (edit, drop, and so on) and previously let the indicator
flash on mid-operation. It's cleared after the refresh, so an operation
that legitimately leaves a rebase in progress still shows the mode.

With the last synchronous commit-surgery callers moved to workers,
nothing runs CheckMergeOrRebase on the UI thread anymore, so
CheckMergeOrRebaseWithRefreshOptionsFromUIThread has no callers. Remove
it and fold the shared checkMergeOrRebaseImpl back into
CheckMergeOrRebaseWithRefreshOptions, which is now always on a worker.
The runAction closure loses its calledFromWorker parameter for the same
reason.
genericMergeCommandImpl keeps its calledFromWorker flag: the
merge/rebase-continue subprocess path still runs on the UI thread when
invoked straight from the menu, and on a worker for the recursive
auto-skip.

edit, quick-start rebase, drop, reword, squash, fixup, amend
(including the amend-attribute author operations) and
discard-file-from-commit all run a rebase on a worker. A key pressed
while one is in flight could act on a stale commit or todo — pressing e
to start an interactive rebase, then up+d before it finishes, is the
motivating example. Switch them from WithWaitingStatus to
WithWaitingStatusBlockingInput so input is held and replayed against the
post-operation state, matching the commit-surgery ops that were already
sync.
Left alone: the custom-patch move/delete/pull-into-commit rebases (no
need to block input while building and applying a patch), the
loading-more-commits and patch-building toggle spinners (no rebase to
disrupt), and fetches and other non-surgery operations where blocking
navigation would only get in the way.
Move, revert, squash-fixups, create-fixup and cherry-pick paste ran
their rebase synchronously on the UI thread via WithWaitingStatusSync,
which froze the UI for the duration but kept the user from disrupting the
operation with a stray keypress. Switch them to
WithWaitingStatusBlockingInput so the git work runs on a worker — the UI
keeps rendering and the spinner animates — while input stays blocked for
the whole operation, as before.
discard-patch-from-commit also moves off WithWaitingStatusSync, but as a
plain WithWaitingStatus: it's a custom-patch command, and those don't
block input.
The bodies now follow the worker conventions: model state they need is
captured on the UI thread before dispatching, self.c.Refresh becomes
RefreshFromWorker, and CheckMergeOrRebase uses the worker variant. An
operation that moves the selection does so in the refresh's Then, so it
lands in the same frame as the refreshed commit list; squash sets it as
an absolute index there, because the shorter list would clamp a relative
move.
It reads the selected index and the commits and branches models to
decide where to move the fixup commit. Take those as parameters,
captured on the UI thread by the callers, so the function can run its
rebase on a worker without reading the model there. No behavior change;
the callers still run on the UI thread for now.

Bracket gocui's BeginBlockingEvents/EndBlockingEvents around a
worker operation that shows a waiting status. The block is begun
synchronously on the UI thread, before the operation is dispatched to a
worker, so no keypress can slip through in between; it ends via
OnUIThread once the operation and its refresh have applied their UI
updates, so the replayed keys act on the refreshed state.
This composes what the retiring WithWaitingStatusSync did — show a
status and block input — but on a worker, so the UI keeps rendering
(spinner animates, model updates land) instead of freezing. Callers
follow in subsequent commits.

Long-running operations that lazygit drives itself (rebases, and the
commit surgery built on them) can be corrupted by keys the user presses
while they run: pressing e to start an interactive rebase, then up+d
before it finishes, must act on the resulting todo list, not race the
rebase. WithWaitingStatusSync gets this today only as a side effect of
freezing the UI thread, which the rest of this branch is moving away
from.
Add a nestable counter, BeginBlockingEvents/EndBlockingEvents, that
withholds input at the event-dispatch layer without freezing anything:
while blocked, key events are buffered and replayed in order once the
count returns to zero (so they act on the now-current context), mouse
clicks and hover are dropped (replaying them against a changed layout
would target the wrong thing), and scrolling, resize, focus and all
rendering keep flowing. These are the reusable core; a gui-level helper
that brackets them around a worker operation follows.

With sync vs async now derived from the calling thread, the Mode field
and its SYNC/ASYNC constants no longer carry any information: Refresh is
always async, RefreshFromWorker always sync. Drop the field, the type,
and the Mode argument at every call site, and reduce the debug log's
mode name to a plain sync/async derived from calledFromWorker.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Whether a refresh should block or run in the background was controlled
by the Mode field, but that always lined up with the calling thread: a
UI-thread Refresh must not block the UI, while a RefreshFromWorker runs
on a worker where blocking is exactly what we want. Now that Then and
BatchUIUpdates work regardless of that choice, drop Mode from the
decision and key it off calledFromWorker instead:
- Refresh (UI thread) runs its scopes and the finishing step (wait,
batch flush, Then) on workers, so the caller returns immediately —
what ASYNC used to mean.
- RefreshFromWorker runs them on the calling worker, blocking it until
everything is done — what SYNC used to mean.
Demos keep taking the blocking, inline path so everything still lands in
one deterministic frame.
In practice this flips the handful of RefreshFromWorker calls that
passed ASYNC — they now block their worker until the refresh finishes,
keeping the waiting-status spinner up until the UI actually updates —
and the many UI-thread refreshes that defaulted to SYNC, which no longer
freeze the UI thread while the git work runs. Mode now only feeds the
log line; the next commit removes it.

Creating a branch checks it out, and checking out a distant ref (a tag
or a commit far from HEAD) can take a noticeable while. NewBranch ran
that synchronously in the prompt's confirm handler, on the UI thread, so
the UI froze — no spinner, no repaint — until it finished.
Move the branch creation (and the autostash path) onto a worker with a
waiting status, mirroring CheckoutRef, and refresh from the worker so
the UI thread stays live and the spinner keeps animating.
Push the branches context from the refresh's Then rather than up front:
the refresh already batches its UI updates, so switching panels there
lands the switch in the same frame as the refreshed branch list instead
of flashing the pre-refresh list while the checkout is still running.

Then, and BatchUIUpdates, previously only worked for a SYNC refresh: the
calling goroutine blocked in wg.Wait until every scope had finished, and
only then flushed the batch and ran Then. An ASYNC refresh had no such
join point — it dispatched each scope onto its own worker and returned
right away — so Then was forbidden (it would have run before the scopes
finished) and a batch would never be drained.
Give the async path a join of its own. Both paths now register their
scopes in the WaitGroup, and the finishing work — wg.Wait, the batch
flush, and Then — moves into a closure. A SYNC refresh runs it inline as
before; an ASYNC refresh dispatches it to a worker, so the caller still
returns immediately but the batch and Then run once every scope is done.
Besides lifting the restriction, this makes SYNC and ASYNC differ only
in whether the finishing work blocks the caller, which is what lets a
later commit drop the mode entirely and key the choice off the calling
thread instead.
There is no f() function any more, so a variable named "f runs on"
doesn't make sense. And we also don't need it any more; it used to be
necessary when its meaning was not exactly the same as
`!calledFromWorker`, but also included the BLOCK_UI case, but that has
changed several commits ago.
This was useful when there was a BLOCK_UI mode where f() was called
differently, but now we no longer need it. I'm making this change as a
separate commit because folding it into the previous one (which would
conceptually have made sense) would have made that diff unreadable
because of the indentation change.
The variable `fRunsOnUIThread` and its comment no longer make sense now;
we'll clean this up next.
The diff is best viewed with --ignore-all-space.
BLOCK_UI ran the whole refresh on the UI thread and parked it in a
wg.Wait for the duration, so the UI (and its spinner) froze while the
git work ran. Blocking the UI was never the point — the point was to
apply all the scopes' updates in one frame instead of a per-scope
cascade — and if we genuinely wanted to block input it should span the
whole operation, not just its refresh, which needs a gocui-level
mechanism we don't have.
So drop the mode and add a BatchUIUpdates option that achieves the
"one frame" effect without blocking: each scope's UI-thread bounce is
collected into a shared refreshBounceBatch during the refresh, and once
every scope has finished they're all applied inside a single OnUIThread
task. gocui drains every queued event before it redraws, so one task
means one repaint. The refresh itself now runs SYNC — on a worker when
issued from one (checkout, move-to-new-branch, the rebase-edit result
handling), so the UI thread stays live and the spinner keeps animating.
The batch needs a mutex because the scopes add concurrently from their
worker goroutines, and a closed flag so that any bounces enqueued after
the flush starts — the nested ones a flushed bounce produces in turn,
e.g. scrolling the selection into view — are dispatched immediately as
ordinary follow-ups rather than collected into a batch that nothing
will drain.

Agents (and humans new to the repo) repeatedly go looking for the gocui
sources in go.mod, go.sum, or the module cache and hit a dead end, because
gocui is a fork maintained in-tree under pkg/gocui rather than pulled in as

Serialize concurrent writes to the streamed command's output writer.
`runAndStreamAux` funnels a command's stdout and stderr into a single
`cmdWriter` (the command-log panel, or a buffer when output is
suppressed) from two separate goroutines: stderr through the MultiWriter
set on `cmd.Stderr`, and stdout through the `onRun` callback. Those
goroutines
wrote the shared writer without any synchronization, racing on the
prefixWriter's `prefixWritten` flag and interleaving the two streams.
Wrap the writer so its writes are serialized.
runAndStreamAux reads the stdout buffer (and, when output is suppressed,
the combinedOutput buffer) for its error message after handler.wait()
returns, but the goroutine that fills those buffers by draining the
command's output isn't awaited, so the reads raced its final writes.
Own the goroutine here rather than letting the onRun callbacks spawn it,
and join it before reading the buffers. The pty reader reaches EOF on its
own once the process exits, but the non-pty pipe never does, so its
handler now closes the read end to unblock the reader; the pipe is
synchronous, so by the time the command has exited all of its output has
already been read and nothing is lost. This also plugs the goroutine that
the non-pty streaming path previously leaked on every command.

The transient contexts (remoteBranches, subCommits, commitFiles) take
over the window of the context they are drilled into from, but until
then they carry a hardcoded initial window ("branches" or
"commits"). Under a gui.sidePanels config where those tabs aren't
their panel's first, no window of that name exists, leaving the
window-to-view map with entries for windows the layout never
produces. The previous commit made such entries harmless, but there's
no reason to have contexts point at nonexistent windows in the first
place; assign them the window hosting branches or commits instead,
which the config validation guarantees to exist.

With gui.sidePanels, a panel's gocui window is named after its first
tab, so when branches is grouped behind, say, worktrees, there is no
window called "branches" at all. The transient contexts
(remoteBranches, subCommits, commitFiles) initially point at the
windows "branches" and "commits", and layout() showed their views
whenever the window-to-view map named them as their window's current
view — without checking that the window exists in the layout. Since
the map is seeded from the contexts themselves, a window that no
panel owns keeps naming a transient view as its current view, and
that view had just been parked at full screen size (the fallback for
views in unlaid-out windows), so it covered every side panel below it
in z-order.
Only show a transient view if its window actually received dimensions
in this layout.
Fixes#5823.

tcell's filterEvents goroutine sends events into eventQ with a plain
blocking send, while Fini (via finish/finalize) closes eventQ after
closing the quit channel. The goroutine can have already committed to
the ev = <-inQ select arm when quit is closed, so its send into eventQ
races with the close; the race detector flags this (send and close on
the same channel are unsynchronized), and if the close wins, the send
panics with "send on closed channel".
This was caught by the integration tests under the race detector, where
every test drives a real tScreen over a MockTerm and tears it down via
Fini, but it equally affects real-terminal shutdown.
Upstream fixed it in 243630d2 ("Fix screen Init/Fini races") by tracking
the filter goroutine in a WaitGroup that finalize waits for before
closing eventQ, and guarding the send with a select on quit. That commit
is not in a tagged release yet (latest is v3.4.0), so pin the
pseudo-version; the delta over v3.4.0 is just this fix, a Windows
key-release fix, a cell-rendering perf tweak, and dependency bumps.

When the last conflict of a file is resolved, a files refresh both
offers to continue the rebase/merge (if we started it ourselves) and,
via its merge-conflicts scope, escapes from the merge conflicts view
back to the files context. The two race: the prompt is bounced onto the
UI thread by the files worker, while the escape's context push is queued
separately by EscapeMerge, and it deliberately refuses to push the files
context over a popup. So if the prompt opens first, the escape does
nothing, and closing the prompt lands the user in the stale merge
conflicts view — usually already emptied by the escape's state reset —
instead of the files panel. No later refresh rescues this.
Fix this by escaping from the merge conflicts view right before opening
the prompt. This runs on the UI thread and doesn't hold the merge
conflicts mutex, so it can reset the state and push the files context
synchronously; whichever side runs first, the prompt now always opens on
top of the files context, and EscapeMerge's guarded push still does
nothing only when that's the right thing to do.
This is a timing race with no deterministic regression test; it showed
up as a rare flake in tests that cancel the continue prompt (e.g.
commit/amend_when_there_are_conflicts_and_continue) when looping the
integration tests under the race detector.
When the last conflict of a file is resolved, a files refresh both
offers to continue the rebase/merge (if we started it ourselves) and,
via its merge-conflicts scope, escapes from the merge conflicts view
back to the files context. The two race: the prompt is bounced onto
the UI thread by the files worker, while the escape's context push is
queued separately by EscapeMerge, and it deliberately refuses to push
the files context over a popup. So if the prompt opens first, the
escape does nothing, and closing the prompt lands the user in the
stale merge conflicts view — usually already emptied by the escape's
state reset — instead of the files panel. No later refresh rescues
this.

Running the integration tests in a loop under the race detector
eventually hung in demo/bisect. The goroutine dump shows the cycle: a
background worker's task.Done() held the task manager's mutex while
blocking on the unbuffered idle-listener channel send, and the test
runner goroutine — the only reader of that channel — was itself blocked
in NewTask on that same mutex, on its way to enqueueing a caption render
(SetCaption -> Render -> OnUIThread). Neither side could proceed: the
notification couldn't be delivered until the test goroutine got the
mutex, and the mutex couldn't be released until the notification was
delivered.
The root problem is that the busy-to-idle notification is a blocking
rendezvous performed while holding the mutex, so it needs the waiter's
cooperation at a moment where the waiter may legitimately need the mutex
first.
Make the notification fire-and-forget instead: WaitUntilIdle waits on a
condition variable and re-checks "is any task busy?" under the mutex,
and the busy-to-idle transition broadcasts, which never blocks. Waiting
is now level-triggered rather than edge-triggered, which is also more
robust: a wait can no longer be satisfied by a stale idle transition
produced by an unrelated background task, because the predicate is
evaluated against the current state. This relies on the previous commit
having made replayed input events carry their task from submission;
without that, the wait could return in the window where an event is in
flight but not yet picked up by the main loop.

Integration tests synchronize with lazygit through the task manager:
after submitting an input event, the test driver waits until the
program goes idle before asserting. But a submitted event only got its
task once the main loop picked it up from the events channel; while it
was still in flight (handed to the poller goroutine, or sitting in the
channel), no task existed for it, so the program could look idle even
though input was still pending.
The edge-triggered idle protocol mostly papers over this: each wait is
satisfied by the *next* busy-to-idle transition, which in practice is
the one produced by processing the submitted event. It only goes wrong
when some other task (e.g. a background refresh) completes in that
window, producing an edge the waiting test mistakes for its own — a
rare source of test flakes. The next commit replaces that protocol
with a level-triggered one, for which the window would be fatal rather
than rare: a wait falling into the gap would return immediately.
Close the gap by creating the task on the test goroutine before the
event is submitted, and carrying it through the poller into the main
loop, which uses it instead of creating its own. The new Replay*
methods own this invariant, and the replayed-events channels are no
longer exported, so tests can't submit an untracked event.

A following commit needs pollEvent to attach information from the
replayed-event wrappers to the GocuiEvent it returns. With the
conversion inlined there is no seam to do that in, because every branch
of the type switch returns directly.
