thomasandClaude Opus 5 d9ba7b6e23 fix(remote): review follow-ups on dialect-named servers
Six findings from a review pass over the two commits. One commit
because they are all corrections to the same change.

- The progress bar the `Restarting` phase was added for never appeared
  for the flow that needs it most. The switcher only reads a machine's
  phase while *this* window is connecting or showing an error, and
  "Restart Server…" in the machine's `⋯` menu is deliberately offered
  whatever the link is doing — so restarting a connected or offline
  machine recorded a phase nobody read, and the click had no visible
  effect for the length of two timeouts. A `Restarting` phase now
  counts on its own: it is only ever recorded by an action a user
  asked for, it ends every session on that machine including the ones
  other windows are showing, and it is the one flow that transfers
  nothing and so has no other way to say the click landed. The header
  says "restarting…" rather than borrowing "installing…", which
  described bytes that are not moving.

- "Restart Server" on the error card silently did nothing when the
  machine could no longer be addressed: `replace_remote_server` logged
  the failure and returned, past a prompt that had just promised the
  server would be replaced. It reports it, like every other failure on
  that path.

- `is_ssh` gates an action that ends every session on a machine, and
  spelled the three yes-variants as a `matches!` — so a new
  `RemoteTarget` would inherit "not SSH" by falling off the end of the
  pattern, which is the opposite of what its own test claims. An
  exhaustive `match` makes the compiler ask.

- The mismatch prompt's detail explains its buttons by name and the
  buttons were written out again at the prompt. `Keep Sessions` was
  one of them until this branch removed it, which is exactly the drift
  worth preventing twice: `MISMATCH_ANSWERS` is named once beside the
  detail, and a test asserts the detail explains every answer offered.

- `unique_temp`'s pid is private to a process, not to a client: two
  clients on different machines can share a pid. Left alone, because
  the new `--protocol` check stands behind it — interleaved bytes
  cannot answer with our dialect, so they are refused rather than
  published — but said, along with the fact that two installs inside
  one process share the path too and are the locks' job, not this
  function's.

- Ten doc sites still said the installed file is named after the
  version, including the module table's step 2, `client_version`'s
  "the server that matches me", `Installer::run`'s postcondition and
  `ensure_remote_server`'s returned path. Also corrected the claim
  that WSL and `LocalStdio` have no daemon to restart: WSL's is
  started by this client, which is why "stop it and reconnect" is the
  whole verb — the reason the router refuses them, not the absence of
  a daemon.

Why

  • Fast — ~2× the throughput of Alacritty, Ghostty, or Kitty (benchmarks)
  • Sessions persist — quit or reboot; your shells keep running, no tmux
  • Editor-grade input — completion, syntax highlighting, history search built in; zero config for zsh, bash, fish, PowerShell
  • Agent-aware — recognizes Claude Code & co. in a pane: status, notifications, session resume

Install

Native builds for each platform on Releases:

macOS …-macos-arm64.dmg · …-x86_64.dmg drag into Applications
Windows …-setup.exe · portable ….zip
Linux …-x86_64.AppImage chmod +x and run — x11/wayland libs bundled

What's inside

Input ghost suggestions from history · explained tab completion · syntax highlighting · multi-line editing · click places the caret · ⌃ R fuzzy history
Window tabs & splits · ⌘ P palette · ⌘ F scrollback search · nine themes · IME
Coding agents per-pane agent detection (~17 CLIs): status dot, notifications, branch + diff, resume after reboot, tray icon that signals "needs your input"
SSH native russh stack: profiles with keychain secrets, SFTP panel, port forwarding, jump hosts

Details for every row: docs/features.md. Keybindings: ⌘ , opens Settings — browse and remap everything, tmux preset included (full list).
