   Contract and transport

   1. Remove stdinMode: buffered and stdinBuffer from the run contract; reject buffered requests and preserve only interactive, interactive-message, and none.
   2. Keep Chromium on SharedArrayBuffer/Atomics. Select Firefox interactive-message only when Firefox meets the support floor and the compiler worker confirms JSPI.
   3. When live stdin is unavailable, report a clear unsupported-runtime message and do not open a pre-supplied-input dialog or post a run request.

   Removal and implementation

   4. Delete the buffered stdin dialog module, markup, styles, imports, and tests. Remove buffered branches from terminal, WASI, worker validation, compatibility reporting, package scripts, README, and Firefox acceptance/release docs.
   5. Preserve JSPI queued stdin, prompt-by-prompt UTF-8 line delivery, EOF, Ctrl+C cleanup, stale-session rejection, and clean reruns. Keep filesystem persistence/write-back out of scope.

   Tests and acceptance

   6. Update contract, WASI, terminal-stop, Firefox compatibility, and JSPI tests to prove buffered input is rejected, no dialog exists, Firefox without JSPI is unsupported, Firefox with JSPI uses live input, and Chromium remains unchanged.
   7. Validate with lint, build, E2E, Firefox/Chrome smoke tests, and real Firefox runtime evidence. Acceptance requires std::cin/getline repeated reads, Ctrl+D EOF, Ctrl+C interruption, and no pre-supplied dialog.
