l0ng-aiandl0ng-ai 8b7215f0d8 fix(remote): let a WSL machine restart its server, and call it "server" in zh (#417)
* fix(remote): let a WSL machine restart its server, and call it "server" in zh

The machine menu offered "restart server" only when `target.is_ssh()`, so a
WSL distro's row had just "new workspace" and "disconnect" — and the router
refused the action for anything but SSH, even though `restart_wsl_daemon`
had been sitting in `install/wsl.rs` unused since it was written. A distro's
server is installed and launched from this computer exactly like an SSH one;
only the transport differs.

- `RemoteTarget::hosts_our_server()` replaces `is_ssh()` as the gate in the
  sidebar menu and in `restart_window_daemon`. A `--stdio` workspace still
  has nothing to restart: it is whatever program the user named.
- The router grows WSL arms for both actions — `RestartServer` relaunches
  the distro's daemon, `ReplaceServer` (new `replace_wsl_server`) publishes
  the bundled binary first. The mismatch dialog's "update server" used to be
  a dead end on WSL for the same reason.
- `AppRestartServerNotSsh` is now `AppRestartServerNoServer`: the message no
  longer talks about SSH, since the only machine it can fire for is a local
  `--stdio` one.

The Chinese table called tty7's server 服务器 / 服务器端 / 后台服务; it now
says `server`, the way it already keeps `shell`, `pane` and `agent` in
English. The macOS Services menu keeps its 服务.

* fix(i18n): keep 服务器 where it means the SSH host, and test the new gate

The sweep that renamed tty7's own server to `server` in the Chinese table
also caught two SSH settings where 服务器 was never tty7's server: the
host-key description talks about the key of each machine being connected
to, and the banner switch suppresses the login banner sshd prints. Written
as `server` both now read as if tty7 ran something there, which is exactly
the confusion the rest of the sweep removes. Put the Chinese word back in
those two.

`hosts_our_server()` is the gate the whole change hangs on and nothing
exercised it, while the test next door still asserted under the name
"only SSH machines have a server to restart" — the rule this branch
retires. Name that test after what it actually checks, the transport, and
add one for the new predicate. It matches on the variants rather than
negating a single one, so a transport added later has to say for itself
whether we can restart what is on the far end.

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

Install

Native builds for each platform on Releases:
