But AI review sees some things that need to be addressed. Do you want to resubmit with fixed release note, or I can fix that. Errors: None. Warnings: Release note entry is placed under "API Changes" but the public API signature is unchanged — this is a behavior change and may belong under a different section. Commit body could open with what the patch does rather than jumping into background. Pre-existing missing spaces around operators (i=0 ; i<rdl->prompt_size) in touched function — good opportunity to clean up. Info: rdline_clear_screen() wrapper is only called once; could be inlined, but the named function improves readability at the call site. Fine either way. Overall: Clean patch, good refactoring approach preserving the public API. No correctness issues.
