Review follow-ups on the sidebar-diff branch. Five findings, four of them about a bound that was claimed but not held. The remote streaming read bounded both ends and not the middle. The reader thread serves the whole connection, so it cannot wait on a slow consumer — parking it there stalls every other reply and the keepalive with it — and an unbounded queue was the price. That reassembles the whole diff in a channel, which is the peak the buffered read was replaced to avoid, one container further along. The queue is now bounded instead of back-pressured: each chunk is charged to the stream's arrears, the drainer credits them back, and a stream 32 MiB behind is cut loose with an error rather than served. Real back-pressure would need credit-based flow control in the dialect; this is not that, and says so. `oversized` counted untracked paths on its file axis, and collapsing every file body removes no untracked rows — that section has no bodies to fold. A tree with an un-ignored node_modules and three edited files hid the three cheap things, kept the expensive one, and told the reader their working tree was too large to render. The untracked list is bounded where it is built: MAX_UNTRACKED on retention, MAX_RENDERED_FILES on rows. AUTO_COLLAPSE_TOTAL_LINES counted the context lines git prints around every hunk — four to six retained per line actually changed — against a threshold set as if it were reading `+N -N`. It fired on trees whose header said 400. 8000, compared against the 20000 the parser stops retaining at, since collapsing everything is the heavier of the two interventions and should not arrive first by much. A probe that could not run produced an empty file list, which renders as "Working tree clean" — a claim about the repository, made because a read timed out. Newly reachable, too: a stream can be refused or go silent where a buffered read could only arrive or error. DiffSnapshot::read_failed keeps the two apart. Also: StreamStop's doc comment had been glued onto StreamSlot, leaving the enum undocumented and the guard described twice; the overlay header asked totals() beside stats() rather than through it; and the watch-teardown fix riding along on this branch was in neither the PR body nor the CHANGELOG. Tests: the queue budget both ways (a stream that outruns it is cut loose, a larger one that is drained is not), the untracked axis, an ordinary context-heavy afternoon sized to fail against the old threshold and pass against the new, and empty-because-broken against empty-because-clean. Each was checked to fail against the behaviour it replaces. 1603 pass, 0 fail; fmt clean; no new clippy warnings in the touched files.
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
