dcode now preserves text typed immediately after launch and places it in the chat input when the TUI appears.

When dcode starts, terminal input typed before the first TUI frame is already queued for Textual. The default screen initially focused the chat scroll container because it appears before the input in the widget tree, so those queued keys were delivered to the scroll container and disappeared.

The main chat screen now selects the chat input during Textual's initial autofocus pass. The selector is scoped to the main screen so modal screens retain their normal first-focusable control and keyboard navigation.

fix(code): capture input typed before TUI startup (langchain-ai#4684)

already queued for Textual. The default screen initially focused the
chat scroll container because it appears before the input in the widget

disappeared.

The main chat screen now selects the chat input during Textual's initial
autofocus pass. The selector is scoped to the main screen so modal
