`lines.last_mut().unwrap()` appears six times while laying out the inline editor, the furthest of them seventy lines from the thing that makes it safe: `lines` is seeded with one row and rows are only ever pushed. A reader meeting the unwrap first has to go looking, and a reader adding a `pop` or a `drain` has nothing to warn them. Found by sweeping the tree for panicking arithmetic and unwraps rather than by anything failing. Everything else that sweep turned up is already guarded, and the guards are worth recording as checked: - `heal_active` in tree_sync returns early on an empty tab list before `tabs.len() - 1`, matching the `ActiveTabChanged` contract that a workspace with no tabs simply has no active tab. - The scrollback ring's `bytes[bytes.len() - RING_CAP..]` sits behind `if bytes.len() >= RING_CAP`, and its neighbours use saturating adds. - The tab-title eliders bound every head against `cells.len()` before subtracting, and the binary search's `mid - 1` cannot underflow because `mid` is at least 1 whenever `lo < hi`.

Why
- Performance — ~2× the throughput of Alacritty, Ghostty, or Kitty (benchmarks)
- Persistent sessions — quit or reboot; your shells and supported agent sessions keep running, no tmux
- Editor-grade input — suggestions, completion, highlighting, history search
- Remote development — files, repos, panes, and git data stay on the remote machine
- Native SSH — profiles, SFTP, port forwarding, and jump hosts
- Agent-aware — Claude Code, Codex & co.: status, notifications, git context
- CLI + Skills — agents create panes, run commands, and inspect output
