`tty7-server-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl` was never a name anyone chose. Both
workflows staged the file as `tty7-server-${{ matrix.target }}`, so the build
triple went straight into a published filename — and the triple's *vendor*
field, for a Linux target with no particular vendor, is the literal word
`unknown`. It has been sitting on the releases page reading like a failed
lookup.
Of the triple's four fields only two say anything to whoever downloads this:
the architecture, which is what `asset_for_uname` picks by, and `musl`, which
is why one file runs on any distribution. So:
tty7-server-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl → tty7-server-linux-x86_64-musl
tty7-server-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl → tty7-server-linux-aarch64-musl
`<os>-<arch>` in that order because that is what the GUI assets in the same
release already use (`tty7-<version>-linux-x86_64.tar.gz`). One release should
be one naming scheme; it was two.
The triple stays everywhere it really is a build target — `cargo zigbuild
--target`, the `target/<triple>/release` path, the rust-cache key, ci.yml's
matrix. The workflows now carry both: `target` for the build, `asset` for the
filename, deliberately not the same string.
This name is a contract with more than the release step, and all of it moves
together:
- `install::asset::{ASSET_X86_64, ASSET_AARCH64}`, which is what the client
appends to a release URL.
- `bundle-windows.ps1`, which stages the musl binary for WSL. `wsl.rs` looks
for `<dir>/<asset name>` with nothing translating, so the *filename* is as
much a contract as the `server/` directory is — now said out loud in both
places, along with the consequence for `TTY7_BUNDLED_SERVER_DIR`: a
cross-compile has to be copied to the asset name, not left as `tty7-server`.
- The GUI's install prompt fixture, the checksum manifest fixtures, and the
`MissingBundled` assertions.
Nothing globs the old shape: `gh release upload dist/*`, `checksums.txt`'s
`find`, and the installer's `server\*` are all name-agnostic.
A new test pins both names as literals — the module header already says this
naming is "a *literal* contract with the release workflow", and asserting the
consts against themselves asserted nothing. It also fails on the substring
`unknown`, since that word only ever arrived here by way of `matrix.target`,
and checks neither name contains the other, which is what
`checksums::expected_digest` says out loud that it relies on.
Compatibility: a stable client asks its own frozen tag, which keeps whichever
name it shipped with, so every released client keeps working. The rolling
`nightly` tag is replaced each night and its prune step drops assets the run
did not upload — so an *already installed* nightly client 404s on the server
download until it updates itself. Accepted deliberately; the next release is
what has to be right.

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
