OpenCode transitions TUI plugin API to v2

OpenCode is transitioning its experimental terminal user interface (TUI) plugin API to v2, standardizing it as an official, stable feature. Powered by the Zig-based OpenTUI framework, the updated API allows developers to build custom terminal components and plugins without relying on LLM execution latency.

// ANALYSIS

This is a major step forward for the terminal-native developer ecosystem. Standardizing a high-performance plugin API using Zig-backed OpenTUI proves that CLI interfaces are no longer second-class citizens compared to web applications; they can be highly dynamic, responsive, and customizable.

* Moving from experimental status to official v2 API provides developers with the stability needed to build complex custom workflows.

* Integrating OpenTUI allows for game-engine-like rendering performance and flexbox layout adjustments directly inside the terminal.

* Custom slash commands and UI slots enable deep workflow automation without the latency of calling external LLMs.
