refactor(tui): extract CSV exports and trace formatting

[hamidi-dev]

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Improved TUI trace display with clearer event formatting, expandable output, and more reliable scrolling and selection behavior.
  • CSV exports now provide formula-safe values across supported datasets.
  • Expanded contributor documentation for trace formatting and CSV export behavior.

• Refactor

  • Improved internal separation of trace rendering and CSV export logic without changing user-facing workflows.

• Tests

  • Added coverage for trace formatting, output expansion, scrolling, dataset generation, and safe CSV writing.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The TUI moves trace formatting and CSV export construction into dedicated pure modules. Renderer and App delegate to these modules, while tests and documentation cover the new boundaries and behavior.

Changes

TUI trace formatting

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Trace formatting and layout src/opentab/tui/trace.py, src/opentab/tui/renderer.py	Trace formatting, truncation, tool-call rendering, output expansion, and output targeting now reside in trace.py. Renderer integration uses the returned layout metadata.
Trace validation tests/test_tui_trace.py, tests/test_tui_detail.py	Tests cover wrapping, fenced code, output previews, expansion, output targeting, empty events, and the relocated TraceLine.
Trace module documentation docs/architecture.md	The architecture package map documents tui/trace.py.

TUI CSV export

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Dataset builders and serialization src/opentab/tui/exporting.py	The new module builds session, project, machine, model, source, turn, tool, and related datasets. It also provides formula-safe cell serialization and CSV writing.
App export integration src/opentab/tui/app.py	App export paths delegate dataset construction and CSV writing to exporting.py. Existing API-mode repricing remains in the row preparation paths.
Export validation and documentation tests/test_tui_export.py, docs/tui.md	Tests cover session dataset construction and formula-safe CSV output. The contributor guide documents the module boundaries and pure-builder guidance.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Refactor

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 56c4c

CSV export can terminate the TUI for valid Unicode content on systems using non-UTF-8 locales. Set UTF-8 explicitly before merge; the trace truncation display issue is a smaller accompanying usability defect.

Inline comments:
In `@src/opentab/tui/exporting.py`:
- Line 341: Update the open call in the CSV export flow to explicitly use UTF-8
encoding, ensuring Unicode headers and cell values are written consistently and
existing error handling remains unchanged.

In `@src/opentab/tui/trace.py`:
- Around line 133-134: Update format_output to handle output_dropped before
returning for empty output: emit the dropped-character notice directly, without
reporting a hidden line, then preserve the existing empty-result behavior when
no output was retained or dropped.
