l0ng-ai 0ec8e050ad fix(workspaces): make a handover atomic and stop two stores clobbering one file
The takeover moves two things — the `WorkspaceStore`'s record and the
server's `AttachRegistry` handle — and each was internally locked, which
is not the same as the pair moving together. Two clients attaching one
workspace at the same instant could each win a different table, after
which the store named a session the registry had already evicted and no
`detach` could clear it: the workspace reported a takeover against a
client that had disconnected hours ago. Both moves now happen under one
handover lock, dropped before the displaced client is written to so a
peer that has stopped reading still cannot hold up the next attach.

`WorkspaceDelete` had the same split with no race needed at all: the
store dropped its attachment and the registry kept its handle, so the
next client to attach that id evicted a session nobody displaced — and,
that entry being dedicated, closed its whole link.

Two `tty7-server --stdio` sessions arriving while no daemon was up each
served in-process, each with its own store over the one file. `persist`
writes the whole document, so the second to save silently dropped the
first's changes, and their separate registries made takeover a no-op
between them. The probe path now starts the daemon and bridges to it —
the rule `bridge_panes` already follows one dialect over — and the store
re-reads when the file has moved underneath it, which covers the cases
where two writers are deliberate.

`MAX_RECORD_BYTES` and `MAX_WORKSPACES` did not bound their product:
seventeen maximal records put the array past `MAX_FRAME`, after which
every `WorkspaceList` was unencodable and every client showed an empty
list. The document is now bounded at the save, and only when growing, so
an over-large file can still be deleted back under the limit.

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).
