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.
tty7
A terminal workbench: shells, sessions, SSH, coding agents.
Pure Rust · GPU rendering on Zed's gpui · VT core from Alacritty
English · 简体中文
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
