Review follow-up on #1983. Copilot was right, and about a hazard this repo
had already proven and then documented away: the claim that ink's ">=19"
peer "keeps npm from hoisting it next to a React the Inspector couldn't
also use" is false. A consumer pinning React 19.0 satisfies ">=19" while
`^19.2.4` nests underneath, so ink renders through their React and the
bundle through ours — the #1952 crash, one level up, breaking TUI startup
rather than just its forms.
Bundling ink closes it (verified: with a `createRequire` banner for the
inlined CJS, since react-reconciler calls `require("react")` and
signal-exit@3 `require("assert")`), but costs ~1.4MB — react-reconciler
and yoga-layout come along. The root `react` range closes it for free
instead: `^19.0.0` is open to the whole major, so npm can satisfy our
React and a consumer's pinned React 19 with one copy, and an external ink
resolves the same copy the bundle does.
Verified against both consumer trees — the reporter's (React 18 + ink 5)
and a pinned React 19.0.0 + ink 6.8.0, which splits under `^19.2.4`.
That makes the range load-bearing while looking like an ordinary version
bump, so the tests pin it: the root range must equal ink's own declared
peer floor. They also assert each exempt package is both external and a
root dependency — external means consumers install it, the mirror image
of the inlined ones, which must not be root-declared.
The docs in all four places now say ink is exempt on cost and never on a
peer range, and name that claim as one we got wrong.
Closes#1952

Review follow-ups on #1983.
The patch's tests called the string helper directly, so nothing exercised
the esbuild `onLoad` filter that decides whether the helper runs at all. A
filter that stopped matching would leave the build green, the tests green,
and the typo shipped — the silent no-op the throwing helper exists to
prevent, reintroduced one level up. The plugin is now driven the way
esbuild drives it (register, then invoke) against the real `ink-form`
module path, and a second test pins the filter's scope: it matches that
path and a Windows-separator one, and rejects `Form.js`,
`ink-select-input`'s own `SubmitButton.js`, and a first-party
`src/SubmitButton.jsx`.
The plugin type came from `import type { Plugin } from "esbuild"`, but
`esbuild` is tsup's transitive dependency, not one this client declares —
it typechecked only while npm happened to hoist it, and would break on a
lock change that nested it. Derive it from tsup's own
`Options["esbuildPlugins"]` instead of adding a dependency for a type.

The hint under a form with unfilled required fields reads "you have not
competed yet". The string is upstream's, hardcoded in
`ink-form/lib/SubmitButton.js` with no prop to override it, and `ink-form`
was last published in 2024 — but it renders in the Inspector's tool,
prompt, and resource test forms, so it is ours to fix in practice.
Bundling `ink-form` (previous commit) is what makes it patchable: an
esbuild `onLoad` hook rewrites the label as the file enters the bundle.
The hook throws when the string is absent rather than passing the source
through, so an `ink-form` upgrade cannot silently retire the patch or
leave it aimed at a string that no longer exists — the tests drive it
against the real dependency source for the same reason.
Reported upstream as lukasbach/ink-form#14.

`ink-form` and `ink-scroll-view` were externalized by the TUI bundler and
both declare a loose `react` peer (">=18"). Installed under a project that
has its own React 18, npm hoists them to that project's root — where the
peer is satisfied — while the Inspector's React 19 nests underneath. The
bundle then renders through React 19 while those two call hooks on React
18, whose dispatcher is null, so opening a tool test form (or any scroll
view) dies with "Cannot read properties of null (reading 'useState')".
Inline them instead: their `import "react"` is emitted into the bundle and
so resolves from the build directory exactly like the bundle's own, with
npm's placement no longer part of the decision. This also pins their
transitive deps to what this repo resolved — notably `ink-select-input@6`
via `overrides`, which npm ignores for a package installed as a dependency,
so consumers were getting the React-18-era v5.
`ink` stays external: it can't be bundled (its CJS `signal-exit@3` fails
ESM interop with `Dynamic require of "assert"`) and doesn't need to be —
its ">=19" peer keeps npm from hoisting it next to an unusable React.
Both packages are dropped from the root `dependencies`, since the tarball
now ships their code rather than having consumers install them.
`clients/tui/__tests__/tsupConfig.test.ts` is the durable guard: the
failure is invisible in this repo and in every smoke (a dev install has
one React) and only appears once the package is installed under another
project, so the invariant is asserted against the config instead — every
dependency declaring a `react` peer must be bundled unless exempted.
