l0ng-ai 7d7d3ce882 fix(windows): start fresh workspaces with a shell, and say where a closed one went
Review follow-ups on top of the multi-window work.

- A brand-new workspace came up on the home page with no shell, because
  `claim` always hands back an (empty) session and the window treated that
  as "restore this". A first run and `New Workspace` now take the
  first-run path again and spawn a terminal; the launch that exists to
  show the workspace picker asks for an empty window explicitly
  (`FreshStart`).
- The close-window prompt promised sessions "will be restored the next
  time you open tty7", which is no longer what happens — the workspace
  detaches and waits in the picker. Both it and the one-time detach hint
  now point at the title bar's workspace menu rather than the macOS
  Window menu, which does not exist on Windows or Linux.
- `ToggleSftp` read the panel state off the config, which is now only
  what a *new* window starts with; it reads this window's own state.
- `SelectWorkspace1..9` were unbindable: registered as actions but absent
  from the keymap tables. Added with no default chord (⌘1–9 is the tab
  row's).
- `theme_commands`' doc comment had been captured by a function inserted
  above it, and the Window menu's slot→action mapping was a second copy
  of the title-bar chip's.
- CHANGELOG: drop the ⌘1–9 claim (no such binding ships), and document
  the chrome tile sizing that rode along with this branch.

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).
