The daemon was created with CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP, which disables Ctrl+C for the whole new group — and Windows hands that "ignore Ctrl+C" state down to every descendant. Every ConPTY shell a pane spawned inherited it, and so did everything those shells ran: the pane wrote 0x03 and conhost turned it into a keypress, but the CTRL_C_EVENT never came, so `go run` and `npm install` carried on. Git Bash looked fine only because MSYS synthesises SIGINT from the byte itself and never waits for a console event. DETACHED_PROCESS already leaves the daemon without a console for a control event to arrive on, so the group flag bought nothing to begin with. Both daemon spawn paths and tty7-cli's headless server — which spawns panes too — now share one constant without it, and DaemonPane::spawn clears any inherited ignore before it opens the pty, so a tty7 launched from a shell that already had the bit set is covered as well. The regression test has to inherit the state rather than switch it on in place, since that is the shape the daemon was in: an intermediate process created exactly as the daemon used to be runs both arms, and a pane must be interruptible only after the clear. Its observable is the shell rather than the interrupted command — after the ^C, cmd gets its prompt back and acts on the `exit` typed behind it — so it reads no message and holds on a non-English Windows.

tty7
A terminal workbench: persistent sessions, remote work, agents.
Pure Rust · GPU rendering on Zed's gpui · VT core from Alacritty
English · 简体中文
Why
- Performance — ~2× the throughput of Alacritty, Ghostty, or Kitty (benchmarks)
- Persistent sessions — quit or reboot; your shells and supported agent sessions keep running, no tmux
- Editor-grade input — suggestions, completion, highlighting, history search
- Remote development — files, repos, panes, and git data stay on the remote machine
- Native SSH — profiles, SFTP, port forwarding, and jump hosts
- Agent-aware — Claude Code, Codex & co.: status, notifications, git context
- CLI + Skills — agents create panes, run commands, and inspect output
