Trait RenderSink 

pub trait RenderSink {
    // Required methods
    fn visible_text(&mut self, text: &str);
    fn think_text(&mut self, text: &str);

    // Provided methods
    fn tool_text(&mut self, text: &str) { ... }
    fn error_text(&mut self, text: &str) { ... }
}

Destination for rendered output; the UI layer routes this to its renderer.

The stream renderer never emits raw DSML through this trait: DSML bytes are replaced by tool banners, which always arrive via visible_text.

This trait is also the animation boundary. Motion is Ratatui-only: the Ratatui sink drives plank’s animation module effects (throbber, shimmer, pulse, flash, stall-fade) off the shared 20 Hz clock, while the plain-stdout and --non-interactive sinks render the static/reduced-motion form. The stream renderer feeds bytes through here without knowing which sink animates, so the plain path stays untouched.

Required Methods

fn visible_text(&mut self, text: &str)

Receives ordinary visible output.

fn think_text(&mut self, text: &str)

Receives text produced inside a <think> block.

Provided Methods

fn tool_text(&mut self, text: &str)

Receives tool banner output (never markdown); defaults to visible.

fn error_text(&mut self, text: &str)

Receives error banners (e.g. [invalid tool call: ...]); sinks should style these red. Defaults to tool text.

Trait Implementations

impl RenderSink for Box<dyn RenderSink>

fn visible_text(&mut self, text: &str)

Receives ordinary visible output.

fn think_text(&mut self, text: &str)

Receives text produced inside a <think> block.

fn tool_text(&mut self, text: &str)

Receives tool banner output (never markdown); defaults to visible.

fn error_text(&mut self, text: &str)

Receives error banners (e.g. [invalid tool call: ...]); sinks should style these red. Defaults to tool text.

impl RenderSink for Box<dyn RenderSink + Send>

The Send flavour, for a sink that has to cross into a scoped thread — a parallel sub-agent fan-out drives several generations at once, each writing through its own sink.

fn visible_text(&mut self, text: &str)

Receives ordinary visible output.

fn think_text(&mut self, text: &str)

Receives text produced inside a <think> block.

fn tool_text(&mut self, text: &str)

Receives tool banner output (never markdown); defaults to visible.

fn error_text(&mut self, text: &str)

Receives error banners (e.g. [invalid tool call: ...]); sinks should style these red. Defaults to tool text.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
