A workspace a window creates is created with a generated name, and that name is what `tty7 ws ls` prints and what `tty7 ws rename` addresses. The window itself was never told it. A client is left out of the deltas its own ops raise, so the WorkspaceCreated delta carrying the name never comes back, and both create paths threw away the copy the reply carried: `pull_or_create` reduced the answered workspace to its tabs, and `pull_workspace` returned the tree it had read before the create, which does not hold the workspace at all. The mirror therefore held the workspace unnamed, the chip fell back to the directory its shells started in, and the GUI and the CLI gave two different answers to what the workspace was called — a user could read `verify-main` on screen and not address it by that name. The first pull of the whole tree, which a daemon restart, a rebuild and a plain relaunch all do, then produced the name it had had all along and looked like a rename that stuck. Both paths now carry the name they were answered with: the prime hands it to the mirror, and the hydrating create puts the workspace it made into the tree about to be installed. A workspace the machine really has no name for still reads the directory it is working in, and a chosen name still wins. Co-authored-by: l0ng-ai <24760907+l0ng-ai@users.noreply.github.com>
tty7
A terminal workbench: persistent sessions, remote work, agents.
Pure Rust · GPU rendering on Zed's gpui · VT core from Alacritty
English · 简体中文
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
