The GitHub tab follows the focused pane's repository: its root is resolved the way the Source Control tab does, its remotes are read through the Host (the tree may be on another machine), and the github.com remote is bound, upstream over origin in a fork, with a menu to pick another. The list switches between issues and pull requests, open and closed, 50 rows a page with Load more; rows carry a state glyph distinct by shape, labels (click one to filter by it) and relative times. A row opens the detail in place: title, state, author, labels, description and comments as Markdown, and for a pull request its branches, size and changed files. A file opens in the diff overlay through a new supplied-patch DiffSource, so GitHub's patch renders exactly like a local one without a git probe. Read-only, and sign-in reuses the GitHub CLI: GH_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN, then `gh auth token`, found on PATH or at the Homebrew locations a Finder launch cannot see. Signed out, public repositories still work; 401, 403, 404 and rate limits are told apart and explained. Requests go out from this machine over the installer's ureq stack and proxy settings, on threads of their own, cached per repository with background revalidation. Remote images in issue text become links instead of loading, and non-web link targets are disarmed. The Info tab gains a GitHub row that opens the branch on the remote it tracks, or the repository for a branch never pushed.
tty7
A terminal workbench: persistent sessions, remote work, agents.

Why
A background server owns your shells and panes — not the window. Everything below follows from that.
- 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
- Agent-aware — Claude Code, Codex & co.: status, notifications, and git context for every repo at once
- Scriptable by agents — one agent opens a pane for another, hands off a task, waits, and reads the result, with or without the GUI running
- Editor-grade input — suggestions, completion, highlighting, history search, with no plugin to install
- Remote development — files, repos, panes, and git data stay on the remote machine, over a native SSH stack

Supported agents
Detection is free: brand avatar, branch + diff, tab title.
Status takes one click under Settings → Integrations to install that agent's hook,
and brings the status dot, notifications, the tray icon, tty7 wait, and resume
after a reboot. Fork needs both — the agent's own fork command, and the hook
that tells tty7 which session to fork.

None of them are wrapped or proxied — the agent you start is the agent you get,
in a normal PTY, with its own interface. An agent launched through a wrapper
script can be mapped to one by name with agent_commands in config.json.
Every agent on your PATH is also a row in Search Everywhere (Agent: Claude Code, …)
that opens it in a new tab; agent_launch sets the command line it starts with.
