The switcher, the Window menu, the title bar, the rename seeds, the stop/delete confirmation and the liveness sweep all answered their questions (display name, subject path, pane ids, pane count) from the client's cached copy of the layout. The machine's tree owns the layout now, so a new per-host MachineMirrors global holds each machine's last pulled tree — filled by a MachineGet whenever a control link comes up (and for free off every hydration, which already pulls the whole machine), advanced by the same Layout delta stream the windows consume, plus explicit notes for this client's own operations, which origin exclusion keeps out of that stream. The readers move over wholesale. A machine not pulled yet reads as not-knowing rather than a stale guess: pickers show the shared fallback for a beat (against the local daemon the pull lands within a frame), and the pane-count prompt says the machine could not be asked instead of counting against a cache. tree_display_name moves out of the remote picker into the mirror as display_name_of — it was always the tree flavour of Workspace::display_name, and now everything shares it. This is the read-model half of retiring the client's layout cache; the persistence shrink to pure view state follows on top of it.
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
