- The panel's report line gives a run without a clock as "time
unavailable", as script.console does, instead of "? ms", and shows the
slowest commands after "slowest:" as script.console does.
- "1 host call", "1 earlier line dropped" and "1 line cut" take the
singular in the panel and in script.console, and each catalog gives
its language's plural forms. The dropped and cut counts choose their
forms independently.
- A run whose state is gone still gets an end line: "stopped" when it is
abandoned, "internal" when the next slice finds it missing. Neither
adds a report line. The missing-run path in script_pump now also puts
the session's state back, as script_abandon does, so the next run can
start.
alert(message[, title, errorIcon]), confirm(message[, noAsDflt, title])
and prompt(message, preset[, title]) are globals in a script run. In the
app the run waits at the call for the person's answer, spends no
instructions while it waits, and every dialog has Stop, which ends the
run and puts every document back. A run over MCP or the command line
takes its answers in order from script.run's answers, a list of
{kind, value} records; a missing, mismatched or unused answer ends the
run. The report lists each dialog with its answer in dialogs, with
dialogCount and dialogsTruncated.
The interpreter gains a host call that waits at the call for its
result, from the script's own code only; a dialog called in a callback
of a built-in, a getter or a conversion throws in the app.

Scripts write to a new Script Console with $.write(...values) and
$.writeln(...values), each value as String(value) gives it. vc.log
entries, a run's uncaught error as name:line:column: message, and a
start, end and report line for each run go there too. The report line
gives the run's time, host calls and slowest commands.
- The console keeps at most 2,048 lines and 1 MiB of text, dropping the
oldest and counting what it dropped. A line is cut at 4,096 bytes and
a script's name at 256 bytes, with a count of cut lines. Line feeds,
carriage returns and CRLF break lines; other control characters show
as Unicode Control Pictures.
- script.run's result and scriptReport gain runTimeMs, timingAvailable,
hostCallCounts, slowestCommands and the run's own console. A failed
run's report has them too.
- script.console and script.console.clear read and empty the console;
ui.copyScriptConsole {first?, last?} copies lines as the panel shows
them.
- The panel lays out only the rows in view, selects with click and
Shift-click, and has Clear, Copy Selected and Copy All. Output goes on
while it is closed, and Clear works during a run.
