//! Subprocess plumbing for `how = "ai"` and the handoff escape
//! hatch. Mirrors the rvpm Mode A / Mode B split so users get a
//! consistent feel across yukimemi/* tools:
//!
//! - **chat mode** (rvpm Mode A): kata holds the conversation
//!   history and re-spawns the AI CLI in non-interactive mode each
//!   turn (`claude -p -`, `gemini -p -`, `codex exec -`). The
//!   prompt is piped on stdin so we don't have to shell-quote, and
//!   stdout is captured so we can parse / preview the response
//!   before deciding whether to write it.
//!
//! - **handoff mode** (rvpm Mode B): kata writes the assembled
//!   prompt to a tmp file, announces its path, and spawns the CLI
//!   **interactively** with stdio inherited from the parent TTY.
//!   The first user message asks the agent to read the tmp file
//!   and wait — passive instructions only — so the agent does not
//!   start auto-editing before the human takes over. Once the
//!   agent process exits, kata does **not** re-import the result
//!   (the agent already had Edit / Write tools and was free to
//!   touch the destination directly).
//!
//! This module is the low-level dispatch only; the chezmoi-style
//! per-file UI (`[a]ccept / [e]dit / [c]hat / [h]andoff / [s]kip /
//! [d]efer`) lives in `modes/ai.rs` (Phase 3-b).
