l0ng-ai 6fcf659e04 feat(search): tabbed Search Everywhere with a Sessions tab to resume agent sessions (#969)
* feat(search): replace the command palette with tabbed Search Everywhere

The palette was one flat list that every new kind of row had to be squeezed
into: tabs and SSH hosts rode along as "Switch to Tab: …" and "SSH: …"
commands, and the only way to narrow to one kind was a magic seed word.

Search Everywhere splits it into sources behind one trait — All, Actions,
Terminals, Hosts — each with its own empty-query layout and ranking. The All
tab shows each source's top rows, ordered by best match, with a row that
opens the full tab. Tab / Shift-Tab walk the tabs and keep the query.

- Terminals lists every open tab of every workspace (reusing the switcher's
  tab rows) and jumps to it wherever it lives, plus the shells and agents.
- Hosts replaces the separate "Add Connection" input: a typed address or
  full `ssh …` line offers to connect.
- Fixes Return doing nothing after a search that found nothing, or when the
  search opens pre-filtered: gpui-component re-picks the row from a stale
  frame; the delegate now re-arms the first row.
- Fixes `ssh -p 2222 me@box` being offered as a quick-connect address with
  user `ssh -p 2222 me`.

The keymap action stays `TogglePalette` so custom bindings keep working.

* feat(search): a Sessions tab to resume past agent sessions

Search Everywhere gains a Sessions tab listing the Claude Code and Codex
sessions on this computer, read from ~/.claude/projects and
~/.codex/sessions ($CODEX_HOME). Sessions that ran in the focused tab's
directory lead; the All tab offers the last three of them before anything
is typed. Return opens a new tab in the session's directory and runs the
agent's resume command with its configured launch flags.

- Only each transcript's head and tail are read, off the window thread,
  and cached by path, size and mtime: ~170ms cold for 50 sessions,
  under 1ms warm. The search opens on the cached list and fills in.
- Titles: /rename name, then the agent's own title (ai-title, Codex's
  session_index.jsonl), then the first thing typed, skipping harness
  injections. Codex rollouts it ran for itself (subagent/internal) and
  sessions never asked anything are left out.
- A session whose directory is gone is refused with a notice rather than
  resumed where the agent cannot find it.

title: "Status and notifications"
description: "Installing the hooks, reading the dots, and being told when an agent needs you."
---
An agent working for two minutes and an agent that stopped ninety seconds ago
waiting for permission look identical from outside. tty7 fixes that by letting
the agent say which one it is.
## Installing the hooks
**Settings → Integrations** lists every agent that can report status, with an
**Install** button beside each:
| Agent | |
|---|---|
| Claude Code · Codex · TraeCode · Copilot CLI · OpenCode · Pi · Grok Build · Oh My Pi · Gemini · Droid · Qwen Code · Goose · Kimi Code · Qoder CLI · Crush · CodeBuddy · Cursor CLI · Prime Agent · Antigravity | Hooks available |
| Aider · Amp · Auggie · Hermes · Vibe · Empryo | Detected and labelled, but no status channel yet |
Installing writes into that agent's own configuration directory. Once installed
the row grows a second **Uninstall** button beside the first, which itself
becomes **Reinstall** — or **Update**, against an **Outdated** state, when tty7
ships a newer hook.
<Note>
Crush ships only a `PreToolUse` hook today. It is enough to remember the
session for resume, but there is no turn boundary behind it, so a Crush pane
carries no status dot and `tty7 wait` times out rather than returning.
</Note>
<Note>
Antigravity has no session-start or permission event, so its pane goes
straight from no dot to working on the first model call, and a pending
permission prompt shows as working rather than amber. Its hooks live in a
`tty7` set inside `~/.gemini/config/hooks.json`, beside any sets of your own.
</Note>
<Note>
`cursor-agent -p` (print mode) sends neither of Cursor's turn hooks, so a
headless run records its session id — Copy Session ID and resume still
work — but shows no status dot. The interactive `cursor-agent` shows the
full working → done cycle.
</Note>
<Note>
The hooks only do anything inside tty7. Running the same agent in another
terminal is unaffected.
</Note>
Hooks are installed per machine. Once a second
[machine](/remote/workspaces) is linked, a row of chips appears above the table
to pick which one you are looking at, and the table then shows that machine's
agents — so a dev box gets its hooks installed the same way, from the same
screen.
## The status dot
Every tab chip and sidebar row carries a dot:
| Dot | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 🔵 **Blue** | Working |
| 🟠 **Amber** | Needs your input — a permission prompt, a question |
| 🟢 **Green** | Done with this turn |
<Frame caption="Working (blue), waiting on you (amber), and done (green), side by side">
<img src="/images/agent-status.webp" alt="Agent status dots" />
</Frame>
The same three states are what `tty7 agents` reports as `working` / `waiting` /
`done`, and what [`tty7 wait`](/agents/orchestration) blocks on. A fourth state,
`idle`, carries no dot — it is an agent that has not started a turn.
## Notifications
Two, both following your **Settings → General → Notifications** policy:
- **"needs your permission…"** the moment an agent blocks on you
- **"finished after 42s"** at the end of a turn
Which means that by default — *When unfocused* — you are told the instant you
are the bottleneck, and left alone while you are watching.
## The tray icon
tty7 keeps a status item in the system tray (menu bar on macOS). It flips to an
attention state the moment *any* agent anywhere needs input, so you can see it
without the window in front of you.
Its menu lists every agent pane with its brand avatar and status dot — click one
to reveal it — and also holds the notification policy switch and **Quit and Stop
Server…**.
Turn it off with **Settings → Window & Tabs → Show tray icon**
(`show_tray_icon: false`).
## Sending an agent some context
Two Search Everywhere actions hand what is in front of you to the agent running in
the pane, as a ready-made prompt:
| Command | Sends |
|---|---|
| **Agent: Send Selection** | The current terminal selection |
| **Agent: Send Git Diff for Review** | The repository's `git diff` |
If nothing recognisable is running, tty7 says *"No running coding agent found"*
rather than typing into your shell.
