Steps

cd ~/src/aish && luajit main.lua
$less /home/mfritsche/src/aish/docs/PHASE0.md
less renders the first screen. Press space to page down.
Press j a few times (single-line scroll).
Press q to quit.

Expected

less shows the file with the : prompt at bottom.
Space pages down, j scrolls one line — both responsive to single keys.
q quits cleanly; aish prompt returns with ─── exit 0 ───.

What this exercises

Same PTY substrate as the vim test, but exercises a pager that does not take over the alternate screen as aggressively as vim does.

Likely failure modes

Page-down doesn't react to space (raw mode not on stdin) → keystroke buffered.
Terminal scrolls weirdly after quit → termios not restored.

## Steps 1. `cd ~/src/aish && luajit main.lua` 2. `$less /home/mfritsche/src/aish/docs/PHASE0.md` 3. less renders the first screen. Press **space** to page down. 4.
