l0ng-ai a0d153c546 feat(ui): give the right panel and tab rail an overlay scrollbar
The detail panel (Info / Outline / Changes / Files), the remote SFTP
listing and the tab rail all scrolled with gpui's `overflow_y_scroll()`,
which paints nothing: a deep file tree or a long tab list gave no hint
that there was more content, or where in it you were (issue #185).

Hang gpui-component's `Scrollbar` over each of those containers through
one shared helper (`ui::scrollbar`). The handle stays app-owned so
`scroll_to_item` keeps working — that rules out gpui-component's
`overflow_y_scrollbar()`, which mints its own handle internally.

Theme the bar from the active theme's own background→foreground mix
ladder rather than the stock fixed greys, and keep the track transparent
so the thumb floats instead of laying a slab down the panel edge.

Show mode follows the platform: auto-hide on macOS (and anywhere else the
OS uses overlay scrollbars), permanently visible on Windows and Linux.
gpui-component's own default picks `Hover` there, which only reveals the
bar within 16px of the edge — that is the "no scrollbar at all" the issue
reports from Windows.

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).
