Usable Vibe: Mistral AI's Vibe with terminal scrollback

With good reviews around Mistral's coding models, I was hoping to test them out... but sadly, vibe, the CLI agent, uses Textual, the Python TUI library, and it prevents the terminal from providing scrollback.

My view is that if you want a GUI, then make a GUI, but leave the terminal to be a terminal. Indeed, I don't seem to be alone, as Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI all have terminal scrollback.

To contrast this with Lazygit, that is perfecly fine with a full-TUI experience, but not a CLI agent.

So Usable Vibe is a patch and fork of Vibe with the full screen TUI removed and the terminal scrollback unleashed.

Updates will be best effort following Vibe updates.
