thomasandClaude Opus 4.8 6067f6b651 feat(agent): emit hook status events on Windows via ancestor console
The Windows agent status dot (working/waiting/done) never showed because
`write_to_controlling_tty` was a `false` stub on Windows — the hook's OSC
777 sentinel event was never injected into the pane's PTY, so the daemon
never learned the agent's turn state.

The hook has no `/dev/tty` on Windows, and agents (Claude Code, a Node app)
spawn hooks with CREATE_NO_WINDOW, giving the hook its own *hidden* console
— so a naive `CONOUT$` write succeeds into a dead-end buffer. Mirror the
Unix "write the agent's tty" strategy at the console layer: walk up the
parent chain to the shell tty7 spawned (the ancestor whose parent is the
tty7.exe daemon — the process actually on the pane's ConPTY), FreeConsole
off the hidden one, AttachConsole to the shell's, and write CONOUT$ there.
The OSC bytes then flow through ConPTY to the daemon exactly like the
shell-integration marks. Falls back to spraying every ancestor console
when the shell can't be pinned down.

Adds the windows-sys Win32_System_Console feature for Attach/FreeConsole.

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

Install

Native builds for each platform on Releases:

macOS …-macos-arm64.dmg · …-x86_64.dmg drag into Applications
Windows …-setup.exe · portable ….zip
Linux …-x86_64.AppImage chmod +x and run — x11/wayland libs bundled

What's inside

Input ghost suggestions from history · explained tab completion · syntax highlighting · multi-line editing · click places the caret · ⌃ R fuzzy history
Window tabs & splits · ⌘ P palette · ⌘ F scrollback search · eight themes · IME
Coding agents per-pane agent detection (~17 CLIs): status dot, notifications, branch + diff, resume after reboot, tray icon that signals "needs your input"
SSH native russh stack: profiles with keychain secrets, SFTP panel, port forwarding, jump hosts

Details for every row: docs/features.md. Keybindings: ⌘ , opens Settings — browse and remap everything, tmux preset included (full list).
