Deleting an SSH profile used to leave every remote workspace entry that had connected through it behind, labelled with a bare internal id and retrying a route that could never work again. `RemoteRef` now carries a `RouteSnapshot` of the profile it was made from — name, user, host, port — written at creation and refreshed on every reopen, `serde(default)` so older session files load. The snapshot serves labels only: `PartialEq`/`Hash` ignore it, or a refresh would split one entry into two. Deleting a profile cascade-forgets the entries routing through it. Forgets, not deletes: `WorkspaceRemove` is never sent, so the sessions on the remote machine keep running and connecting again under a new profile brings them back from the machine's own workspace list. An entry holding a live or in-flight link is left alone, as is one whose window is still on screen — a window whose workspace the store has forgotten reads as local, and its next tab would open a local shell on what the user still sees as a remote box. Whatever survives parks instead: no retries, no error, and an inline action to drop it deliberately. A live or preempted link outranks a lost route. Labels fall back from the live profile to the snapshot to a placeholder, so no branch renders a bare UUID. Resolving the live name reads memory rather than reparsing `~/.ssh/config`, because that path runs on every frame of a window with a remote workspace open. Closes #485.
tty7
A terminal workbench: persistent sessions, remote work, agents.

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
