4ec6b1df45 fix(terminal): upload pasted images to the remote host in SSH panes (#338)
* fix(terminal): upload pasted images to the remote host in SSH panes (#337)

* fix(terminal): stage remote clipboard images in a private dir, off the UI thread

Review follow-up to the SSH image-paste upload.

`/tmp/tty7-clipboard-<user>` is a predictable name in a world-writable
directory: any local account on the remote host could pre-create it, and
the `Mkdir` result was discarded, so tty7 would have uploaded into a
directory someone else owned — readable by them, and swappable for
another image before the pane's agent opened the path. Screenshots are
exactly the payload that must not land there.

Images now stage in `$HOME/.cache/tty7/clipboard`, resolved from the
session's own `realpath .`, and the directory is verified before anything
is uploaded into it: a symlink is refused outright (`stat` would judge it
by its target), a `chmod 0700` the daemon watched succeed is the
ownership proof — POSIX only lets the owner change a mode — and a
following `stat` must report exactly `0700`. Any doubt is a hard failure
that falls back to pasting the local path rather than uploading. The
uploaded file is chmod'd `0600` once the transfer lands.

Only a verified directory is cached, so a preparation that failed is
retried on the next paste instead of latching a "ready" flag over a
directory that was never created.

All of it moves off the UI thread. Preparing the directory, starting the
transfer and polling it are blocking daemon+SSH round trips — the
workspace route gives up after 30s, the standalone-SSH route sets no read
timeout at all — and a keystroke handler must not make them. The pane
pastes from a background task instead, which is also what lets the upload
be watched to a terminal state: the SFTP panel's history only polls while
that panel is open and drops finished jobs after 30s, so a failed upload
used to leave a dangling remote path in the line and say nothing. Now it
notifies, once, naming the host and the reason.

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
