Un-parkable worktrees (remote-runtime ptys, uncoverable tabs, SSH with the slice-A switch off) had unlimited retention: the parking cap/TTL only ever saw eligibility-passing worktrees, so one bad tab pinned a whole worktree's panes forever. Retention is now memory-bounded, not eligibility-bounded. - terminal-hidden-worktree-retention.ts: retention budget (12 hidden / 45min TTL, sized from the measured 2.5-19MB per-pane V8 cost, DESIGN.md §2) over hidden worktrees ordinary parking can never evict; reuses the hot-retain ranking so last-active exemption, deterministic ties, and deadline-driven rechecks hold. Fail-open/foreign-pty tabs are eviction-exempt (a remount would fresh-spawn and orphan the live shell). - Terminal.tsx: force-parked ids join the parked set AFTER the coverage veto (darkness for uncoverable tabs is the accepted cost); buffers captured via the sleep-flow registry before the unmount render; retention TTL added to the recheck deadlines for budget candidates only. - Verdict stays out of its own effect deps; policy test asserts idempotence and time-monotone membership (flip-loop dwell regression). - Kill switch: settings.terminalHiddenWorktreeRetentionBudget (default on).

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.
