The + menu listed every shell the machine reports (nine on a stock macOS box)
above the SSH hosts. The Local section now names the default shell, always
first, then only shells that have actually been opened, by frecency, three rows
at most, the same way the SSH section caps its hosts.
Shell usage is recorded in a new `shell_frecency` config map, keyed by the
inventory label, bumped from both the menu row and the palette. Every shell is
now a palette command titled "Shell: {label}" (same word in every locale), and
an "Other Shells…" row opens the palette pre-filtered to them. That row is
hidden when the menu already names the whole inventory. Running a shell command
from the palette respects the ⌥/Alt split modifier like the menu row.
A tab can be put to sleep from its context menu or the command palette:
its panes are stopped (screens kept on disk), the tab keeps its place in
the sidebar, and selecting it wakes it through the same restore a reboot
runs, resuming a supported agent's session. The sleep mark lives on the
machine tree, so it survives app and daemon restarts.
Closes#762
A forward could only be removed, so pointing one local port at another
remote target meant deleting the rule and retyping the other one (#439).
Forward rules gain an `enabled` flag (serde default on, so saved profiles
and older peers keep every rule live) and the daemon a SetForwardEnabled
op for panes and workspaces. Off releases the listener and keeps the
entry; on rebinds it from the rule it was made from, and is refused by
name when another switched-on forward of the same owner holds the port.
The Ports panel and the Settings rules editor each get a switch; a
switch flipped in the panel on a rule from a saved host is written back
to that host.
Closes#439
Saved SSH hosts and their usage counts move out of config.json into
servers.json beside it, so config.json can be synced between machines
without carrying a server list (#911). An older config.json is split on
first load: servers.json is written first (0600), then only the two keys
are removed from config.json, leaving every other key as it was. When
both files hold hosts, servers.json wins and the stale copy falls out of
config.json at its next save. A servers.json that does not parse is kept
aside and blocks saves, as config.json does; hand edits hot-reload.
Settings -> Window & Tabs -> SSH tab title (`ssh_tab_title`) pins an SSH
tab to the profile name (saved host name, ~/.ssh/config alias, or the
address typed for a quick connect) or the hostname, on the OSC title's
rung of the existing label ladder: a renamed tab still wins, OSC titles
are still tracked, local panes are untouched (#726).
`tty7 exec %N -- CMD` types a line at an existing pane's shell prompt,
follows the shell integration's OSC 133 marks to the command's end, prints
what it printed (rendered to text by default, `--raw` for the bytes) and
exits with its exit code. `--timeout` exits 124 and leaves the command
running. A pane with no prompt marks, or one not at a prompt, is refused
before anything is typed.
`tty7 send` can take its text from `--stdin` or `--from-file`, sent byte
for byte and never echoed in --json, so a secret stays out of `ps` and
shell history. `--paste` frames the text the way the GUI's paste does:
bracketed when the pane has mode 2004 on, unframed otherwise, reported in
--json. The framing moves into tty7-core (`core::paste`) so the GUI's
clipboard paste, the agent prompt and the CLI share one construction, and
the daemon now reports each pane's bracketed-paste mode in PaneContext.

* fix(render): scale fallback-font icons up to fill their cell
A lone Private Use Area glyph supplied by a fallback face is drawn at the
primary's font size on the fallback's own metrics, so Nerd Font icons came
out about two thirds of the cell. Grow such a glyph, aspect ratio kept,
until it fills the width of its cells or the height of the row (at most
2x), and centre it there. Overflow is still shrunk as before, text from a
fallback face keeps its metrics, and the primary's own icons are untouched.
Closes#866
* fix(render): fit fallback icons to their cells, borrowing a same-colour blank
Checked in the running app with Symbols Nerd Font Mono behind Menlo: its
icons ink a full em (1.6 cells), so growth alone never fired. What made
them small was the one-cell budget an icon gets when the space after it
paints a background, which is every icon in a coloured prompt segment.
Fit a fallback icon to its cells and one em of height instead, letting it
take the blank after it when that blank paints no background or the
icon's own, and only when that makes it bigger. Leave the Powerline
separators to the existing rule.
* docs(render): name icon_fit in the fit_scale test's comment
Linux has no native prompt, so every window.prompt fell through to gpui's
fallback renderer, which sets the message and the detail as unbreakable
single lines in a fixed-width box with overflow hidden. The quit-and-stop
warning was cut off mid-sentence. Install a prompt builder on platforms
without a native dialog that lays the same prompt out as a card whose text
wraps, in the app's own surfaces, with Return taking answer 0 and Escape
the cancel answer.

libproc's proc_listallpids takes its buffer size in bytes but answers
with the number of pids, and the macOS process table read that number
as bytes twice: once sizing the buffer (count / 4 + 64 slots) and once
reading back how much was filled (count / 4 again). On a Mac with ~700
processes only the first ~60 pids reached the table.
The kernel lists its newest processes first, so what survived was
whatever started most recently. A `go run` server launched a moment ago
was in; the pane's shell, started long before, usually was not, and a
walk from a root missing from the table returns nothing: no processes,
no ports, and a probe state of Ok. A freshly built parent/child chain,
which is what a quick check of the probe builds, is exactly the case
that happened to work.
The listing now goes through list_all_pids, which takes the call as a
closure so the size arithmetic is tested off a Mac against an emulation
of libproc's convention.

The foreground probes ran on output only, at most once per 500ms
interval. A quick launch types the agent's command the moment the shell
is up, so the agent drew its whole first screen inside the interval of
the prompt it was typed at and then waited for a key: the pane never
learned it was running an agent until something else printed. Seen in
a dev instance, where a launched Claude Code stayed undetected at its
trust prompt.
The reader now asks the pty for its foreground process group on every
read (one ioctl) and probes immediately when it changes.
A view rebuilt over a running pane - every agent tab after an app
restart, or a workspace switched back to - saw its agent appear from
nothing and reported it as detected, bumping that agent's frecency once
per launch of the app. The terminal now remembers whether its link was
an attach, and such a view only reports agents once its shell has been
seen back at the prompt with no agent in front.
Also pins down that the agents seen in a remote workspace, its quick
launch list, persist in views.json with the rest of the workspace.
Every agent whose launch program is on PATH becomes a palette command,
"Agent: <name>", ordered by frecency and bindable as LaunchAgent:<slug>.
"New Agent Tab" (Cmd+Shift+A on macOS; unbound elsewhere, where
Ctrl+Shift+A is select-all) launches the most recently used one, and the
New Tab menu gains a single "Launch Agent..." row that opens the palette
pre-filtered to them.
A launch always opens a new pane (a tab in the active tab's cwd, or a
split when picked from the palette with Alt held) and types the command
into that pane's shell once it exists - immediately for a local pane, on
landing for a remote one via PendingSpawn::run_on_land - never into a
pane that was already there. Detection, status and resume then work as
for a hand-typed agent.
The command is the agent's bare binary unless the new `agent_launch`
config map overrides it. A wrapper named there is detected as its agent
without an `agent_commands` entry: the daemon folds the programs
`agent_launch` runs into its alias map (interpreters, shells and real
agent names excepted), reloaded when config.json changes instead of
once per process, and a mapped script run under its interpreter
(`bash ~/bin/cc`, `node cc.js`) is now recognised too.
A running agent's pane menu gets "Set Current Launch Args as Default",
which writes its launch argv - minus session flags and positional
prompts, joined with the settings' quoting - into `agent_launch`.
Remote workspaces cannot be asked for their PATH through the Host
trait, so they offer the agents previously seen running in that
workspace (WindowView::seen_agents).
The README now opens on an animated WebP of the one-minute tour (GitHub
won't play an mp4 inline), linking the full-quality mp4. The docs home
page autoplays the mp4 in the hero slot. The old hero screenshot and the
separate tour poster block are gone.
Every placeholder frame in docs/ now shows a real capture of the current
build: 20 screenshots plus two short looping clips (prompt editor, pane
drag). The README and the docs home page link a one-minute tour covering
agent status across repos, one agent driving another through the CLI,
the prompt editor, diffs, pane dragging, and sessions surviving a quit.
A working agent's dot now alternates every 600ms between its colour and
a paler, still opaque, blend of it over the dot's ring, so a column of
tabs shows at a glance which agents are still going.
It rides the existing half-second home-cursor tick rather than an
animation: two repaints a second while some tab has a working agent,
and none once no agent is working (the dot settles back on its full
colour with one last frame).
On Windows and Linux the tabs sit under a full-width title bar, and a
second 40px band left them well down from the window's top. The row is
now the tab's hover pill plus 2px either side.
Settings used to cover the workspace it was opened from, hiding the
terminal a setting was being tried on. It now opens a separate window.
- The state and page stay on the workspace's Tty7App; a thin
SettingsWindow view borrows it to draw, observes it to repaint, and
sets its own rem size. The state is built against the new window, so
its inputs and subscriptions belong to it.
- Opening again raises the window instead of closing it. Esc, Cmd-W and
the close button go through close_settings_checked, so unsaved forms
and theme drafts still prompt; closing hands focus back to the
workspace window. The window goes when its owner is released.
- open_settings_then / close_settings_then run follow-ups in the right
window: loading an SSH form happens in the settings window, and
Connect opens its tab in the workspace window.
- Window opacity, blur and backdrop are pushed to every window, since
they are now changed from a window that is not the workspace.
- Tests keep the in-window overlay so they can drive settings through
their single test window.
Folded, the history section is the last line in the window and sat flush
against the bottom edge, inside the window's rounded corner. Pad it 2px
above and 4px below; the expanded section is unchanged, so its
commits-per-height pin still holds.
The v5 restyle turned the tab rows, the search field and the workspace
switcher into full pills, which read too round at this density. Put
back CARD_RADIUS on the rows, rounded_lg on the search field and
rounded_md on the switcher (and its rename field), keeping the 28px
row height. PILL_RADIUS has no users left and goes with them.
The workspace switcher painted its picked row a hard-coded #1768CF with
white text, in the workspace list, the tab list and the New Workspace
host dropdown. It bypassed the theme and was the loudest block on
screen. Use the popover's neutral selected step and keep each row's own
inks, so a taken-over warning still reads as one.
- Rails share the window fill and are separated by a hairline only;
the current tab is a neutral selected step plus a semibold title
instead of the blue navigation wash (the unused role is removed).
- Default Light theme takes ink #0F1419 and accent #1F6BF0; the caret
follows the accent.
- Sidebar: 28px pill rows with 18px avatars (two-line rows keep card
corners), pill search field and workspace switcher, group headings
in body ink with the chevron shown only when folded.
- Right panel: word tabs (Info / Changes / Files) with an underline
bar on a closing hairline. The Changes count is dropped before any
label is cut, and the panel floor grows with the measured labels so
the chrome tiles are never pushed off the edge.
- Headings are no longer uppercased; popovers use a 10px radius.
- docs/design-system.md updated to match.
On macOS the panel toggle and app menu tiles sat at the end of the terminal
column's strip whenever the detail panel was closed, including when a docked
diff or file column stood to its right, leaving them in the middle of the
window beside the document's header. Hide them while a document is docked and
stop reserving their width for the tab chips.
Three things went wrong with a Files panel rooted on a distro's \\wsl$
share:
- A drop brought a `name:Zone.Identifier` file along with every
downloaded file. fs::copy is CopyFileEx on Windows, which copies the
NTFS alternate data streams, and the share has no streams to keep one
in, so it lands as a file of its own. A copy onto a WSL share now
moves the contents only; one onto NTFS still goes through fs::copy
and keeps the mark.
- A file removed from the shell in the distro stayed in the tree. The
share accepts a ReadDirectoryChangesW and never reports a change, so
the watch looked healthy and was deaf. Directories on a WSL share are
now watched by a notify PollWatcher every 2s instead, made the first
time one is needed.
- Right-clicking a row did not select it, so nothing marked the row the
menu was about. A right click now selects the row without opening it.
Dropping a RemoteWatch sent WatchClose with a blocking call, and the last
handle is usually let go on the UI thread: from Tty7App::render via
scm_sync_watchers, and from scm_watch_opened when an open lands after its
subscription moved on. Every window froze for a round trip each time, up
to WatchClose's 5 s deadline on a quiet link. Sampling a live instance
caught ~1.1 s of such stalls in 10 s.
- ControlClient::post sends a request without registering for its reply;
the reader already drops replies nobody is waiting for.
- RemoteWatch::drop posts WatchClose instead of calling it.
- pane_workspace_for built the full SSH spec, keychain lookups included,
only to strip the secrets again. It now builds it from NoCredentials,
which takes the securityd trips off pane_liveness::sweep.

The reader parsed each batch — and a relink's whole replay, up to 8 MB —
in one hold of the grid lock, and every UI-thread handler that touches
the grid queues on it. Feed the emulator in MAX_LOCKED_FEED slices, the
same bound Alacritty's reader uses.

The interactive cursor-agent TUI fires beforeSubmitPrompt and stop; only
print mode (-p) lacks them. Mapping postToolUse to prompt-submit froze the
activity counter (opportunistic git refresh, agents --changed), shortened
turn timing and hid tool-less turns. Map it to tool-complete instead.
A portable ZIP install whose folder has both the .tty7-portable marker
and a data\ folder next to tty7-app.exe now uses <exe dir>\data as its
config directory, so settings, sessions, scrollback and the daemon's
socket travel with the program. --config-dir and TTY7_CONFIG_DIR still
win. The folder is an explicit opt-in because the marker has shipped in
every portable ZIP since the in-app updater arrived: keying on it alone
would move existing users onto an empty directory at their next update.
The portable directory is not the machine's config dir, so a portable
copy never adopts the installed tty7's legacy tree. An updater test pins
that data\ is not a managed root and survives an in-place update.
SelectWorkspace1-9 and the Window menu numbered workspaces by most
recent use, so switching to one moved it to slot 1 and reshuffled the
rest. Number them by the order this client first had them instead
(the append-only views list), skipping synced remote references until
they are opened; opening one moves it to the end so it takes the next
free number. The switcher keeps its MRU list and shows each row's
number.
