## Why Codex TUI startup still feels slower than 0.117.0 after the app-server move in 0.118.0. A visible chunk of launch-to-input latency comes from serial terminal startup probes: cursor position, keyboard enhancement support, and default foreground/background color queries can each wait on terminal responses before the first usable frame. Refs #16335. ## What This PR batches the terminal startup probes into one bounded probe. It also reuses the probed cursor position and default colors during TUI setup, fast-paths the primary-device-attributes fallback as keyboard enhancement unsupported, and keeps lightweight startup timing logs for future tuning. The startup telemetry is intentionally left in production: it records phase timings for terminal probes and initial-frame scheduling so future startup regressions can be diagnosed from normal logs rather than re-adding one-off debug instrumentation. ## Benchmark In the local pty startup benchmark, the pre-optimization `main` baseline was about 250.5ms median from launch to accepted chat input. This probe-only branch measured about 152ms median, for an approximate savings of 95-100ms. ## Stack 1.
