The fork row said "Branch Session" on Claude Code and "Fork Session" everywhere else, on the strength of a source comment claiming "Claude Code calls it branching". It does not. `claude --help` documents the flag as `--fork-session`, described as "When resuming, create a new session ID instead of reusing the original"; the only occurrences of "branch" in its help are an unrelated git-branch review option. The claim came from otty's own UI wording, which I mistook for Claude's vocabulary and then wrote into the source as fact — so the comment goes with the special case rather than being left behind as a false statement about someone else's tool. The split was also inconsistent with itself: Grok takes the identical `--fork-session` flag and was already labelled "Fork Session". Every agent that has the capability calls it forking — `codex fork`, `--fork-session` on Claude Code and Grok, `--fork` on OpenCode — so one wording covers all four. `fork_label` keeps returning `Option<&'static str>`: it is still the UI's single capability gate (`None` = no verified fork command, no row offered), and per-agent wording stays expressible should one ever genuinely diverge. Generated commands are untouched — the existing table test still pins `claude --resume <id> --fork-session` and the other three verbatim. Also drops the two doc sentences that promised the per-agent label, and the stale "Branch Session" mentions left in comments; no occurrence survives anywhere in the tree.
tty7
A terminal workbench: shells, sessions, SSH, coding agents.
Pure Rust · GPU rendering on Zed's gpui · VT core from Alacritty
English · 简体中文
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
