l0ng-aiandl0ng-ai 05ed9fa4ff ci(macos): give the DMG somewhere to go on a runner that ran out of disk (#476)
Three nightlies in a row died in bundle-macos.sh with "hdiutil: create
failed - No space left on device", across two different commits, always on
macos-15-intel and never on arm64. The build, the signing and the
notarization all succeed; the volume simply cannot hold the disk image on
top of everything already staged on it.

At `hdiutil create` the volume carries the whole release `target/` tree, the
signed dist/tty7.app, the compressed update zip, a second full copy of the
bundle under dist/dmg-stage, and the image being written. Two of those five
are avoidable:

Stage the bundle with `mv` instead of `cp -R`. Nothing reads dist/tty7.app
after this point — the updater ships the zip, nightly.yml verifies that zip
by extracting it elsewhere, and release.yml knows tty7.app only as an
intermediate to keep out of the upload globs.

Drop the build tree before the image is written. Every binary it produced is
already inside the bundle and no later step in either workflow reads it. The
cost is that rust-cache finds little left to save and the next macOS build
recompiles the dependency graph — a slower nightly, against no nightly at
all. `df -h` runs first so the next person to touch this has the number.

tty7 with a tab sidebar of agent sessions across several repos, running Claude Code

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

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 libraries bundled

What's inside

Editor-grade 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
Agent-aware per-pane detection (18 CLIs): status dot · notifications · branch + diff · resume after reboot · tray icon when input is needed
Remote workspaces remote files, repos, changes, diffs, worktrees, tabs, and panes · reconnect from any client and continue where you left off
CLI + Skills bundled tty7 CLI · agent skill · pane/workspace control · real PTY commands · output, process, port, and agent status
SSH native russh stack: profiles with keychain secrets · SFTP panel · port forwarding · jump hosts · one-time, unprivileged tty7-server install

Terminal and keybinding reference: docs/features.md. The agent-facing CLI interface is documented in skills/tty7/SKILL.md.
