`reviveEntry` re-resolves and re-bounds every field it takes from serialized state -- shell override, WSL distro, envToDelete, TERM, history isolation, the credential guard -- except `cwd`, which went straight to `node-pty`. A serialized cwd only proves the directory existed when the client wrote it down: a worktree removed while the relay was down makes it a dead path. node-pty does not report that as a spawn error on POSIX. The child `chdir`s after the fork and `_exit(1)`s, so the pane revives already dead with no output and no diagnosis. On Windows `CreateProcess` fails instead, and the throw escapes `reviveEntry` (there is no shell override to degrade), then escapes `revive`'s loop, which has a `finally` but no `catch` -- so one dead directory costs every later entry in the batch its state. Skip that one entry instead, which is the call `reviveEntry` already makes for a shell override that can no longer spawn: substituting a different directory is the defect the serialized value exists to prevent, so dropping one pane is the honest outcome. The check runs inside `reviveEntry`, after `beginPtyCreation`, so the worktree-removal fence still sees the serialized path -- a removal in flight leaves it partly present, and statting it must not be what decides. Skipped entirely for a WSL shell, whose cwd lives in a guest that never stats on this host, matching the `executesOnRelayFilesystem` boundary `requireRelaySpawnCwd` already honours. Fixture paths in the revive tests move to a real directory: `/repo` and `C:\repo` never existed, so under the new check those panes would be skipped before the shell-override and session-cap behaviour under test could run.

Features
Also in the box:
- Quick open — Search across worktrees, files, agents, commands, and repo context without leaving your flow.
- Account switcher & usage tracking — See Claude and Codex usage and rate-limit resets, and hot-swap accounts without re-logging in.
- Rich repo previews — Preview Markdown, images, PDFs, and repo docs in the workspace.
- Computer Use — Let agents operate desktop apps and visible UI when a workflow needs real interaction.
- Notifications and unread state — Know when an agent finishes or needs attention, then mark threads unread to come back later.
- And many, many more — we ship daily, so this list is perpetually behind. The changelog is the real feature list.
