l0ng-aiandl0ng-ai 2fa518a767 refactor(settings): rescope the About page (#350)
About had grown three sections that change system state and that nobody
looks for under "About": a PATH install, a registry write, and a daemon
restart. Two of them move out.

The `tty7` CLI goes to Agents. That page already describes tty7 <-> agent
integration in one direction (hooks reporting session status); the CLI is
the other direction, and its own description leads with "so scripts and
coding agents can drive tty7". The Loading and Unavailable arms there no
longer return early, since the CLI toggle is about this GUI's own host
rather than whichever machine the hook rows describe.

The Windows Explorer context menu goes to the installer, which is where
VS Code and Git for Windows put theirs: writing shell verbs is an
install-time decision, not a runtime preference. A task checkbox drives
new `--register-explorer-menu` / `--unregister-explorer-menu` flags, so
the key layout stays in core::explorer_context_menu instead of being
copied into the .iss. `status()` existed only to paint the settings UI
and goes with it. The uninstaller unregisters unconditionally: an install
that registered once and was later upgraded without the box ticked still
holds keys that would otherwise point at a deleted exe.

Server restart stays — it is about the app itself.

Also fixes localization the About section had skipped: eight hardcoded
English strings in the update block now have keys, and the orphaned
SettingsCheckUpdatesDesc key (which still claimed "tty7 never updates
itself", contradicted by the macOS in-app updater) is reused for a
one-line description in place of a 60-word account of the updater's
internals.

Finally, terminology in the Chinese UI. hook, agent, worktree, diff and
fork are read and spoken in English by Chinese developers, so translating
them lost more than it gained. Scrollback was worse than a style
question: 回滚 means rollback, the opposite direction. 窗格 for pane is
kept — that one is standard.

603bca171e feat(updater): add windows updates and cross-platform nightly support (#330)
* feat(updater): add windows online updates

* feat(updater): support online updates for windows portable zip builds

f

* feat(updater): support online updates for nightly build

* fix(updater): strengthen post-download update verification

* feat(updater): support explicit stable and nightly channel switching

* fix(i18n): localize update settings ui

* fix(settings): prevent slider value labels from wrapping

* feat(updater): drop the nightly channel, refuse all-users Windows installs

Follow-up to the Windows updater work on this branch, applying maintainer
review.

Nightly is a build channel, not an update channel. The updater consults
`/releases/latest` again and nothing else, so it behaves on Windows exactly
as it already does on macOS: a Nightly build is offered the stable release
that supersedes it and graduates out of the prerelease, and no rolling
prerelease can become a source of code that gets executed on a user's
machine. Removed with it: the `UpdateChannel` enum and its version-string
inference, the `tags/nightly` query, the cross-channel version-ordering
bypass, the Settings → About channel row, the rolling-tag
`update-manifest.json` and the i18n keys that only served them.
`parse_version` and `is_update_available` are byte-identical to main again.

Nightly builds are untouched, and still carry tty7-updater plus the macOS
update archive — a Nightly user needs a working helper to reach the stable
release that replaces their build.

An all-users Windows installation is no longer updated in place. Running the
release Setup silently as the signed-in user cannot replace
`C:\Program Files\tty7`: Inno resolves `{autopf}` to `%LocalAppData%\Programs`
and installs a second copy beside the real one, or re-launches itself
elevated and puts a bare UAC prompt for an unsigned executable in `%TEMP%` in
front of a user whose GUI just vanished. tty7 declines both and points at the
release page. Detection reads Inno's own `HKLM` state for the frozen AppId and
independently probes whether the directory accepts writes, so a relocated or
pruned installation is caught too; the decision is a pure function with unit
tests, and it is re-checked before the download as well as during it.

Release and Nightly now verify the Windows packages they just built, mirroring
the macOS update-archive step: the install marker, tty7-updater.exe, the ZIP
layout the updater will accept and the PE versions it will demand. Every fact
the updater checks on the user's machine after downloading is checked here
instead, so a packaging mistake fails the build.

618855cf4a fix(windows): brand toast notifications with a tty7 AUMID (#340)
* fix(windows): brand toast notifications with a tty7 AUMID (#339)

* fix(windows): only write the toast shortcut where it is ours to write

The AUMID shortcut was rewritten on every launch, which broke two cases
the review caught on a real machine.

An elevated install owns `%ProgramData%\...\tty7.lnk`, so writing a
per-user copy listed "tty7" twice in the Start Menu and left an orphan
pointing at a deleted exe once the uninstaller had removed only its own.
And `cargo run` repointed the installed shortcut at `target\debug`,
permanently, for anyone who both installs tty7 and builds it.

So decide before writing. An all-users shortcut settles the question by
itself — branded if the installer stamped our AUMID on it, otherwise we
stay on the PowerShell identity, because the alternative is littering a
Start Menu we cannot clean up. Otherwise we refresh the single per-user
`tty7.lnk` Inno's default install owns anyway, and only when it is not
already ours, and never from a cargo build directory. A dev build still
brands the process for taskbar grouping, and still gets branded toasts
when an install left a stamped shortcut behind — Windows asks that the
AUMID be registered, not that it point at the process using it.

Reading a shortcut back needs `IShellLinkW::GetPath`, hence the
`Win32_Storage_FileSystem` feature; `SLGP_RAWPATH` keeps it from chasing
a moved target over the network.

Also close the window this opened. The shell indexes a new `.lnk`
asynchronously and, for an AUMID it has not seen, `Toast::show()`
reports success and drops the toast — measured, it does not return an
error. A shortcut we wrote seconds ago is therefore not yet proof of
anything, so toasts keep the PowerShell identity for half a minute after
we write one: ugly beats invisible.

l0ng-ai 0c9f4baa3a fix(cli): make the PATH install reversible, honest, and safe to migrate
Follow-up on the review of #277. Seven fixes, no change to what the feature
is for.

An AppImage copy is now claimed with a marker file instead of being inferred
from "am I an AppImage right now". Keying off the runtime meant that a user
who moved from the AppImage to the tarball hit their own copy, read it as
somebody else's binary, and never got another install for as long as that file
sat there.

The Windows uninstaller takes {app} back out of HKCU\Environment. Nothing did
before: the entry is written by the app at runtime, so Inno never knew it
existed and every uninstall grew the user's PATH by one dead entry. Unix has no
equivalent hook and still leaves its symlink behind; that is now stated in the
module docs rather than left to be discovered.

An occupied candidate directory no longer ends the scan, and every platform now
reports whether the install actually wins the lookup. `Occupied` on
/opt/homebrew/bin used to mean giving up while ~/.local/bin sat free, and
Windows — which appends to PATH and so never collides — reported `Installed`
even when an existing tty7 earlier on PATH kept beating it. A new
`InstalledShadowed` names the winner.

`cargo run --release` no longer repoints the developer's real tty7 at a build
tree. `cfg!(debug_assertions)` only covered the debug half of that.

The Windows registry PATH is read, matched, and written as UTF-16 throughout.
It went through `to_string_lossy` before, so a value the registry holds but
Rust cannot represent as a String would have been written back with U+FFFD in
place of its characters — the exact PATH corruption the surrounding code is
careful to avoid.

Two tests mutated $HOME and $PATH while the rest of the binary's tests ran
beside them, and src/ui/home.rs mutates $HOME too. `candidate_dirs` takes home
as a parameter, `place` takes its mode, and the PATH-joining and registry-
joining rules are pure functions — so no test in this module touches the
environment any more. 5 tests become 11, and the Windows joining logic is
covered on every platform.

Also: the config flag reaches Settings → About and both features docs instead
of being config.json-only, startup reads config.json once instead of twice, and
the CLI's strip failure warns like its sibling instead of being swallowed.

l0ng-ai c275960ceb feat(cli): ship the CLI in every installer and put it on PATH at launch
The `tty7` CLI was built by every release run and thrown away: all four
bundle scripts copied only `tty7-app`, and the upload glob covers `dist/`,
which the CLI never reached. Nothing put it on PATH either, so the
agent-facing half of the product was unreachable from a shipped install.

Bundle it on all four platforms, and have the GUI link it up itself rather
than hiding the step behind a menu item most people never find.

The install has two halves. The environment half prepends the CLI's
directory to this process's PATH before the daemon is spawned, so every
pane inherits it — that alone makes `tty7` work where agents actually run,
writes nothing to disk, and behaves the same everywhere. The on-disk half
symlinks into a directory already on PATH (Unix) or appends to
HKCU\Environment (Windows), and is allowed to fail.

Candidate directories are a fixed list intersected with PATH, not the first
writable entry on it: pyenv/rbenv/asdf/mise shim directories sit at the
front of PATH on many machines and are writable, and anything dropped there
is deleted on the next rehash — silently, days later.

Debug builds get the environment half only. `target/debug` holds a `tty7`
too, so otherwise a `cargo run` would repoint the developer's real `tty7`
at a debug binary, and each isolated dev-verify instance would rewrite the
PATH of the machine it is meant to stay away from.

l0ng-ai 3b68a42cb8 fix(installer): delete the pre-rename tty7.exe on upgrade
Builds before the tty7/tty7-app split installed the GUI as tty7.exe. Upgrading
only adds tty7-app.exe, so the old binary stays on disk — and a taskbar pin,
which Inno cannot rewrite the way it rewrites [Icons] shortcuts, still points at
it. The user keeps launching the previous version from their pinned icon,
against the same daemon endpoint as the new one.

[InstallDelete] runs after PrepareToInstall has stopped the daemon and released
the file lock, and before the new files land. A fresh install has nothing to
remove.

the executable file is now tty7-app / tty7-app.exe, per docs/cli-design.md.

2a4b5c7f68 fix(release): name the server assets for whoever downloads them, not for cargo (#265)
`tty7-server-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl` was never a name anyone chose. Both
workflows staged the file as `tty7-server-${{ matrix.target }}`, so the build
triple went straight into a published filename — and the triple's *vendor*
field, for a Linux target with no particular vendor, is the literal word
`unknown`. It has been sitting on the releases page reading like a failed
lookup.

Of the triple's four fields only two say anything to whoever downloads this:
the architecture, which is what `asset_for_uname` picks by, and `musl`, which
is why one file runs on any distribution. So:

    tty7-server-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl  →  tty7-server-linux-x86_64-musl
    tty7-server-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl →  tty7-server-linux-aarch64-musl

`<os>-<arch>` in that order because that is what the GUI assets in the same
release already use (`tty7-<version>-linux-x86_64.tar.gz`). One release should
be one naming scheme; it was two.

The triple stays everywhere it really is a build target — `cargo zigbuild
--target`, the `target/<triple>/release` path, the rust-cache key, ci.yml's
matrix. The workflows now carry both: `target` for the build, `asset` for the
filename, deliberately not the same string.

This name is a contract with more than the release step, and all of it moves
together:

- `install::asset::{ASSET_X86_64, ASSET_AARCH64}`, which is what the client
  appends to a release URL.
- `bundle-windows.ps1`, which stages the musl binary for WSL. `wsl.rs` looks
  for `<dir>/<asset name>` with nothing translating, so the *filename* is as
  much a contract as the `server/` directory is — now said out loud in both
  places, along with the consequence for `TTY7_BUNDLED_SERVER_DIR`: a
  cross-compile has to be copied to the asset name, not left as `tty7-server`.
- The GUI's install prompt fixture, the checksum manifest fixtures, and the
  `MissingBundled` assertions.

Nothing globs the old shape: `gh release upload dist/*`, `checksums.txt`'s
`find`, and the installer's `server\*` are all name-agnostic.

A new test pins both names as literals — the module header already says this
naming is "a *literal* contract with the release workflow", and asserting the
consts against themselves asserted nothing. It also fails on the substring
`unknown`, since that word only ever arrived here by way of `matrix.target`,
and checks neither name contains the other, which is what
`checksums::expected_digest` says out loud that it relies on.

Compatibility: a stable client asks its own frozen tag, which keeps whichever
name it shipped with, so every released client keeps working. The rolling
`nightly` tag is replaced each night and its prune step drops assets the run
did not upload — so an *already installed* nightly client 404s on the server
download until it updates itself. Accepted deliberately; the next release is
what has to be right.

l0ng-aiandl0ng-ai bed22d899e Keep workspaces whole: remote reopen/restart recovery, and cross-workspace restore guards (#257)
* feat(remote): keep a remote workspace whole across reopens and restarts

Reopening a remote workspace — or coming back to one whose `tty7-server`
had been replaced — landed on a screen of `tty7 — disconnected` panes with
their coding-agent conversations gone. Several independent holes added up
to that; this closes them together, and picks up the surrounding work the
same session produced.

**Telling a restarted server from a blinked link.** `ControlHelloOk` now
carries an `instance` minted once per server *process*. Nothing else in
the handshake changes across a restart — `build` and both dialect numbers
survive it — so a reconnect had no way to know its `pane_id`s were dead.
It does now: a different instance rebuilds the window from its layout
(same tabs and splits, fresh shells in the saved cwds) instead of
re-attaching to a process that is gone. An absent instance means *unknown*
and is never read as a restart.

**An attach can now fail.** `Attach` has no synchronous reply, so the
client returned `Ok` unconditionally and the daemon's `Error` frame was
read much later by the reader thread, which has no arm for it — the pane
then landed in the *link is down* state instead of falling back to a fresh
shell. The client now reads far enough into the reply to classify it on
the kind byte (the snapshot behind it can be megabytes) and hands those
bytes to the reader thread, so a successful attach loses none of its
replay. Local and remote attaches get different waits: the local one is on
the UI thread.

**The agent session survives to be resumed.** `TerminalView` raises
`AgentSessionChanged` when the pane's agent reports a new native session
id, so the layout on file catches up instead of waiting for the user to
happen to open a tab. A pane that is still connecting now carries its
agent through `PendingSpawn` — a save landing in that window used to write
`agent: null` over the record — and `land_pane` sends `--resume` when the
attach turned out to need a fresh shell.

**Ending sessions says so on file.** "End Sessions" kills the panes and
then drops their ids from the record, pushing the cleared layout to the
machine that owns it (design §10: the remote's copy wins, so a local-only
clear would be undone by the next open — the open this exists for).

**The new-tab dropdown lists the window's machine.** `Host::shells` and a
`Shells` control request (dialect v2) make the "+" menu a property of the
machine the window is bound to. A remote window filled from this
computer's `/etc/shells` offered `/bin/zsh` on a box whose zsh is
elsewhere, and every pick failed to spawn.

**An install reports its bytes.** The download and the SFTP upload each
report progress, relayed to the client over the routed connection as a
`RoutePrompt::InstallProgress`, and painted as a bar under the machine's
row in the switcher. ~8 MB across two hops behind the word "connecting…"
was indistinguishable from a hang.

**The installer compares dialects, not version strings.** `tty7-server
--protocol` prints what a binary speaks without starting it, so a connect
adopts an already-running server it can talk to rather than prompting
about a build difference and uploading 8 MB the machine did not need.

**Switcher.** A machine's `⋯` menu holds "New Workspace" (it was a row
under every machine, pushing the list a quarter of a card down) and a new
"Disconnect", which drops the connection and leaves the windows open and
read-only. The suspension lasts exactly as long as that machine has a
window on it.

Also drops three design/contract docs for the now-shipped remote-workspace
work.

* fix(session): stop one workspace's panes from being restored into another

A restart put a copy of one workspace's seven tabs — cwds, layout and
recorded agent sessions — in front of another workspace's own tabs, and
auto-resumed every one of those agents a second time: six `claude
--resume <id>` pairs running in parallel against the same conversations,
one set per window. The record-level corruption that seeded it is still
unattributed, but every mechanism that let it propagate, amplify, or go
unnoticed is closable, and this closes them.

**Panes now know their owner.** `Spawn` can carry the workspace the pane
is created for; the daemon stores it immutably and reports it in
`List`'s `PaneInfo.owner`. Restore refuses to re-attach a pane another
workspace owns (`pane_attachable`) — before this, a saved id landing on
somebody else's live pane attached silently, which is how one window
could pick up another's shells. The field rides a new `SPAWN_OWNED`
frame with a struct payload (the legacy spawn payloads are positional
tuples an old daemon cannot grow), gated on a new `pane-owner` feature
string: a client only sends it to a daemon that advertises it, so the
legacy kinds stay byte-for-byte what old daemons expect. A pane with no
recorded owner stays attachable by anyone — that is the pre-field
behavior, not a new risk.

**Saved pane ids are bound to the daemon process that issued them.**
`DaemonVersion` now carries an `instance` minted once per process (the
local twin of the control hello's), the GUI caches it at the
`ensure_running` handshake, and each local workspace records it as
`daemon_instance` beside its layout. Claiming a workspace whose ids came
from a different instance blanks them first: daemon pane ids restart
from 1, so after a reboot every saved id points at whatever unrelated
shell holds the number now, and the aliveness check cannot tell a
survivor from a squatter. A blank on either side means "cannot tell" and
never trips it. Unlike the duplicate-claim case below, this path keeps
the agent resume — the pane is genuinely gone with its daemon, and the
fresh shell resuming the conversation is the feature.

**A duplicate claim loses its agent resume along with its pane id.**
`dedupe_pane_ids` kept the loser's layout *and* its
`agent_session_id`, so the blanked leaves took restore's spawn-fresh
path and auto-typed `claude --resume` for conversations the winning
workspace's panes were still running — the doubling above. The winner
keeps the panes and the resume; the loser keeps only cwds.

**Cross-workspace saves are caught at the write.** Every terminal view
remembers the workspace whose window created it, and `save_session`
logs an error naming both ids if a window ever records a pane created
for a different workspace — the tripwire for the still-unattributed
seed corruption, so a recurrence is caught in the act instead of
reconstructed from `session.json` archaeology days later.

Wire compatibility both ways: `PaneInfo.owner`, `DaemonVersion.instance`
and `Workspace.daemon_instance` are `#[serde(default)]` struct fields
(old peers' JSON decodes, new fields are ignored by old readers), and
`SPAWN_OWNED` is feature-gated as above. `daemon_instance` is
client-owned in the design-§10 storage split — it names the local
daemon, and the field-census test pins the classification.

* fix(session): resume the agent when a local pane dies mid-restore

`session_to_pane` decided whether to send a coding agent's `--resume`
from `restore.is_none()` — i.e. from whether the pane looked alive when
the restore started. But `alive_panes_on` runs one `List` at the top of
the restore, while the attaches happen per leaf afterwards. A pane that
exited in between failed its attach, fell back to a fresh shell inside
`spawn_shell_terminal_in`, and then landed in the `restore.is_some()`
arm: an empty shell with its conversation dropped.

`ShellParts.restored` already answers this exactly, and the remote path
already reads it in `land_pane`. Carry it onto `TerminalView` so the
synchronous local path can read it too, and branch on that instead of
re-deriving the answer from a set that may be stale by the time it is
used.

No behaviour change on the paths that were already correct: a view that
was never restoring anything reports `restored: false`, which is the
same answer `restore.is_none()` gave them.

* fix(remote): check the server instance against the record, not just memory

A remote workspace's pane ids were only guarded against server restarts
by `RemoteLinks::instances`, an in-memory map. On the first connect after
the client starts, every machine is a first sighting, so `server_restarted`
answers false — and a `tty7-server` that was replaced while the client was
closed sails straight through. Its pane ids restart from 1, so the saved
ones now name unrelated shells, and the reconnect attaches to them: the
exact id-reuse failure the local side already guards against.

`Workspace::daemon_instance` was local-only for the stated reason that a
remote server's identity is tracked live per connection. That tracking is
correct but not sufficient — it cannot survive the client restart that
makes the question worth asking.

So the field now means the same thing on both sides: which process minted
the pane ids in this record. `WorkspaceStore::serving_instance` picks the
local daemon or the far machine's server depending on the workspace, and
`finish_attempt` compares it per workspace before deciding to re-attach or
rebuild. It stays client-owned: it records what *this* client last saw, so
two clients on one remote workspace each keep their own and neither may
overwrite the other's.

An unreachable machine still records nothing, which is what keeps a good
stamp from being erased with `None` — that would disarm the next check.

Also in these three files: the §N references to the deleted design docs,
cleaned up as part of the sweep in the following commit.

* docs: drop the references to the deleted design documents

The three documents this branch removed were cited ~280 times: `design
§10`, `contract §8`, `§17` and friends in comments, five references by
file path in code and manifests, five in CI workflows and one in the
release skill. Every one of them now points at nothing.

Rewritten rather than merely stripped, because most were not decoration:
"design §10 makes the remote's `workspaces.json` the authority" becomes a
statement in its own right, and the several that carried a Chinese phrase
from the document as their justification say the same thing in English
instead. Where the reference was purely parenthetical it is simply gone.

Not touched: `PRD §7.1`, `brief §8` and the like, which name documents
this branch did not remove and were already external before it, and the
`RFC 4648 §10` test-vector citation, which is a real specification.

The `host boundary` CI job loses `(§10.6)` from its name. It is not one of
the required checks, so branch protection is unaffected.

l0ng-ai 12d8cf549b fix(ci): read the AppImage version from [workspace.package]
The crate split left the root manifest leading with `version.workspace =
true`, so `grep -m1 '^version'` returned that line verbatim and the sed
fell through unchanged. Every AppImage since was named
`tty7-version.workspace = true-linux-x86_64.AppImage`, which broke the
nightly publish job at `sha256sum -c` — the space-split name resolved to
three missing files.

bundle-linux.sh, bundle-macos.sh and bundle-windows.ps1 were already
anchored on `= "`; this was the one that got missed, and the only one
without a guard to catch the miss.

l0ng-ai 208454e202 feat(remote): remote workspaces — a window that is one machine
Split the framework-free half of tty7 into `tty7-core` and add a headless
`tty7-server` built on it, so a workspace's filesystem, git and session state
can live on another machine while the GUI stays where it is.

- `crates/tty7-core`: wire protocol, session daemon, PTY, native SSH engine and
  the domain model, with no gpui dependency. Module paths are unchanged.
- `crates/tty7-server`: the same daemon with no GUI attached, linked fully
  static against musl and pushed onto the remote box. One dependency, on
  purpose — a second one the GUI also needs belongs in core.
- `Host` trait + `HostId`/`HostRegistry`: every fs/git/watch call a workspace
  makes goes through the machine it belongs to. `LocalHost` answers on this
  box, `RemoteHost` over a routed control connection.
- `ui::host_ops`: the GUI's single door to a `Host`. Host calls block, so all
  of them run on the background executor with the result landed on the UI
  thread; de-duplication, staleness and error reporting live here rather than
  at each call site. Enforced by a CI grep.
- Connect flow: home page → pick a configured SSH host → the machine's own
  workspace list → a window bound to one workspace on it. Workspace switcher
  groups by machine, this computer included.
- CI: static musl builds of `tty7-server` for x86_64/aarch64 via
  cargo-zigbuild, a host-boundary grep, and version stamping factored out of
  the nightly workflow. Both new jobs are non-required so branch protection
  does not wedge open PRs.

Design and the interface contract it was built to are in
`docs/2026-07-27-remote-workspace-{design,impl-contract}.md`.

l0ng-ai eb6c7ca3b3 fix(release): stop {tmp} from closing the Windows installer [Code] comment
The [Code] block comment used Pascal { } braces, but {tmp} inside it
closed the comment early, so ISCC parsed the trailing prose as code and
aborted with "'BEGIN' expected" — no Windows installer was produced.
Switch the comment to (* *) so brace-form constants stay literal.

90515d9fc3 fix(windows): stop the daemon before install/uninstall so it can replace tty7.exe (#72)
The persistent daemon (`tty7.exe --daemon`) is a detached background process
that outlives the GUI and is the running image of tty7.exe, so Windows locks
the file. An upgrade or uninstall then can't overwrite/remove the binary and
fails ("file in use" / reboot required) — the Restart Manager doesn't reliably
catch a no-window, DETACHED_PROCESS daemon in its own process group.

- spawn: extract the "stop the running daemon" half of `restart()` into a
  reusable `stop()` (Shutdown -> await exit -> pid reap fallback -> clear
  endpoint); `restart()` is now `stop()` + `ensure_running()`.
- main: add a `--stop-daemon` CLI entry that runs `stop()` and returns before
  any GUI init, so it never opens a window.
- installer: in PrepareToInstall, extract the *new* tty7.exe to {tmp} and run
  `--stop-daemon` (the new binary understands the flag; an old installed one
  would launch the GUI instead), releasing the lock before file copy. Mirror it
  in [UninstallRun]. Keep CloseApplications as a backstop but RestartApplications=no
  (the GUI respawns the daemon on next start).

l0ng-aiandl0ng-ai b5beba6d80 feat(release): ship a Linux AppImage alongside the tarball (#55)
* feat(release): ship a Linux AppImage alongside the tarball

The Linux release was a bare, dynamically-linked binary built on
ubuntu-latest, so it only reliably ran on Ubuntu — Fedora/Arch users hit
missing/mismatched runtime libs. Add an AppImage that bundles the
x11/wayland/xkb/fontconfig/freetype libs so it launches across distros.

- bundle-appimage.sh: linuxdeploy populates an AppDir + deps, completions
  go beside the binary (usr/bin/completions, matching signature.rs's
  current_exe lookup), appimagetool packs it. Runs FUSE-less on CI.
- release.yml: new "Package Linux AppImage" step after the tarball,
  libfuse2/file added to the Linux deps, *.AppImage added to the upload
  list. The AppImage step avoids `rm -rf dist` so the tarball survives.
- README (en + zh): recommend the AppImage, keep the tarball as the bare
  fallback.

Note: glibc is not bundled, so ubuntu-latest still sets the glibc floor.

* fix(release): downscale AppImage icon to a resolution linuxdeploy accepts

linuxdeploy rejected the 1024x1024 app-icon.png (its valid list tops out at
512). Resize to 256x256 with ImageMagick's convert (added to the Linux apt
deps) before handing the icon to linuxdeploy.

l0ng-ai d0cf53522f feat(release): ship a Windows Inno Setup installer alongside the portable zip
bundle-windows.ps1 now compiles windows-installer.iss (ISCC is preinstalled
on windows-latest) from the same staged payload as the zip, producing
tty7-<version>-windows-x86_64-setup.exe: per-user install by default with an
all-users option, Start Menu shortcut, Apps uninstall entry, optional desktop
icon. Release workflow uploads the new artifact; READMEs and CHANGELOG updated.

l0ng-ai 22e1ab1694 tty7: a GPU-rendered, daemon-backed terminal in pure Rust
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.
