* fix(terminal): restore Polish / US-Extended Option+letter composition (#1205) The macOptionAsAlt layout probe only inspects `navigator.keyboard.getLayoutMap()`, which surfaces the base (unshifted) layer. Polish Pro, US Extended, ABC Extended, and the CJK Roman IMEs all ship a US-QWERTY base layer and put their dead-key composition on the Option layer — invisible to the fingerprint. The probe therefore classified them as `'us'`, flipped `macOptionIsMeta=true`, and xterm.js translated every Option+letter into an Esc+letter readline chord, silently swallowing ą, ć, ę, ł, etc. Adds a main-process IPC that reads macOS's `AppleCurrentKeyboardLayoutInputSourceID` (the same signal Ghostty uses via TISCopyCurrentKeyboardInputSource) and an explicit denylist of input source IDs whose Option layer composes. When the active ID is on the denylist, the probe forces `'non-us'` so `effectiveMacOptionAsAlt` resolves to `'false'` and Option+letter compositions reach the shell. Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai> * fix(terminal): widen Option+letter composition fix to ABC + all non-US layouts My earlier attempt at #1205 missed the broader bug: Option+A wasn't working on the plain "ABC" layout either (Option+A → å got swallowed). Two corrections: 1. systemPreferences.getUserDefault only reads NSGlobalDomain / the app's own domain. AppleCurrentKeyboardLayoutInputSourceID lives in com.apple.HIToolbox, so the previous IPC returned null on every machine. Switched to execFileSync('/usr/bin/defaults') with a 500ms timeout — the same mechanism Apple documents — so the real ID reaches the renderer. Verified live: the IPC now returns `com.apple.keylayout.ABC` instead of `null`. 2. The denylist approach was too narrow. macOS ships many layouts that share a US-identical base layer but compose via Option (ABC, Polish Pro, US Extended, ABC Extended, every CJK Roman IME). Flipped to an allowlist matching Ghostty: only com.apple.keylayout.US and com.apple.keylayout.USInternational-PC get Option-as-Meta; everything else defaults to compose. When the IPC returns a concrete ID, the classifier is authoritative and the layout fingerprint is skipped; the fingerprint only runs as a fallback on non-Darwin / IPC failure. Verified live in dev: on ABC, Option+A now produces å in the terminal.

Same behavior, same timeout — just non-blocking. Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai> --------- Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai>
