`RemoteTarget::is_ssh` answers the question the verb depends on, in one place rather than re-spelled at each call site: a WSL distribution's server is started by this client and a `LocalStdio` machine is a child process per connection, so neither has a long-lived daemon to stop and start — which is exactly why `router::restart_server` refuses them. The UI that offers the action and the router that carries it out can no longer disagree about who has one. "Restart Daemon…" now asks the window which daemon serves it. Run from a remote window it used to end every local session in every other window and leave the machine in front of the user untouched — a destructive button that did nothing its label promised. A pane torn down with its coding agent no longer publishes an observation. The kill hangs up the whole process group, so the agent dies before the PTY EOFs and a poll firing on the bytes still in flight sees nothing recognizable; publishing that cleared the record's agent and session id, and the reopened workspace came back to a bare shell instead of the conversation. The same answer about a pane nobody is tearing down still means the agent exited on its own.
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
