The palette matched a query against the label it was rendering and nothing else, so a window running in Chinese answered "no matching commands" to `theme` — the English wording of that row did not exist anywhere the filter could see it. Each entry built from a locale key now carries the same key as every other locale words it, plus the stable command id, as hidden search aliases. They are built once with the entry, cost nothing per keystroke, and are never rendered: the row keeps showing its localized label, and an alias hit scores just below the same hit on that label so a visible match still comes first.

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
