Both handshakes compare their version for equality and hang up on anything else — the pane protocol in `ensure_running`, the control dialect in `host::server`'s hello. So a server whose number disagrees cannot be talked round, and the "Keep Shells" button offered a state that does not work: panes still spawn while every machine-tree call is refused, which is how a window opens with no tabs and saves none of the ones you make. Taking that button was indistinguishable from the bug it sat next to. Restart or quit, then. Quitting is the half that destroys nothing — the server and every shell under it keep running — which makes it a real answer for someone who would rather go install the matching build than lose a session mid-flight. Quit goes first, the way every other destructive prompt here is ordered: NSAlert and TaskDialog give the first button Return, and this prompt arrives unasked at launch, the moment a stray Return is likeliest, so the reflex key has to be the one that destroys nothing. Restarting stays a click or an arrow away. A prompt dismissed without an answer re-arms instead of falling through: `take_mismatched_daemon` takes, so without this a closed window is a back door into the state this prompt exists to prevent. The copy is rewritten to one line of diagnosis and one line per button, in all three locales, listed in button order. It was a paragraph that had to be read twice to find out what the buttons did.
tty7
A terminal workbench: persistent sessions, remote work, agents.
Pure Rust · GPU rendering on Zed's gpui · VT core from Alacritty
English · 简体中文
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
