* fix(windows): bundle Microsoft's ConPTY so panes can answer color queries
The in-box conhost swallows a pane process's OSC 11 background query: it
never reaches tty7's emulator and no reply is ever written back, so
applications that choose a light or dark UI from the terminal background
render a dark UI under a light theme.
tty7 already answers OSC 10/11/12 from the live theme, so nothing was
missing but a pseudoconsole that forwards the question. Microsoft ships one
as a redistributable, and portable-pty already prefers a sideloaded
conpty.dll over kernel32's, so this is packaging rather than code: the pair
goes beside tty7-app.exe, where the DLL search path finds it.
Measured on Windows 11 26200, same binary, only the pair added beside it:
in-box conhost: the terminal side never sees the query; the client times
out with no reply
bundled ConPTY: the terminal side sees ESC]11;?BEL and a real pane reads
back rgb:efef/f1f1/f5f5 under catppuccin_latte, which is
the preset's exact background
The two files are one supported unit, so the release verifier fails a
package that carries only one, a mismatched pair, or the MIT notice-less
DLL. They also join PORTABLE_MANAGED_ROOTS, without which the updater would
reject every portable archive that contains them; they are deliberately not
required by verify_portable_payload, since tty7 runs without them and a
packaging slip should fail the release rather than a user's update.
build.rs stages the pair beside cargo's output so a development build does
not quietly run on the in-box host, and the daemon logs which pseudoconsole
it got.
Closes#345
* fix(windows): restage the bundled ConPTY when it goes missing
Watching only the vendored sources meant a staged copy that left the target
directory stayed gone: the build script was cached, so it never ran again to
put it back, and the build silently fell back to the in-box conhost. Cargo
treats a rerun-if-changed path that does not exist as changed, so naming the
destinations makes the staging self-healing.
Found by deleting target/debug/conpty.dll and watching the next build not
bring it back.

Removed all Rust comments -- line, block, and doc -- from the 139 tracked
.rs files with `uncomment` 3.5.1. It parses each file with tree-sitter
instead of matching text, so comment-like content inside string literals
is left alone: the JavaScript plugin source embedded in agent_hooks.rs
raw strings keeps its own `//` lines.
Left alone: Cargo.toml comments and the shell scripts under scripts/.

tty7 is split into two Rust processes: a persistent daemon that owns the
shells and a GPU-rendered client that talks to it over a local socket.
Because the shells live in the daemon, quitting and reopening the app
leaves the session intact — detach and reattach, no tmux required.
- Persistent sessions — the daemon holds the PTYs and child processes, so
closing a window or swapping in a new build never takes a shell down.
- Performance — an 11 MB `cat` completes in 95 ms and DOOM-fire renders at
888 fps; the daemon drains the PTY at device speed off the render path.
- Shell-aware — new tabs and splits open in the current working directory;
zsh, bash, fish, and PowerShell are set up automatically.
- Enhanced prompt — inline completion, syntax highlighting, history, and
in-terminal search, with rich flag/subcommand signatures for common tools.
- Tabs, resizable splits, a command palette, click-to-open links, desktop
notifications, eight themes, and CJK/IME input.
Native builds for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Built on Zed's gpui and Alacritty's VT core.
