hide, move to 9;9, show -> cursor at 9;9
hide, move to 9;9, CSI g, show -> cursor back at 6;4
The scanner sorts CSI finals into ones that move the cursor and ones that
leave it alone, and treats everything else as a paint. A paint clears
`last_was_move`, which makes the following show "parked" -- the cursor is
put back on the cell it was hidden on, because a frame that ended on an
erase left it wherever the erase finished.
Terminal settings are on neither list and were being counted as paints.
Clearing a tab stop, or setting an ANSI mode, between a frame's last move
and its show therefore dragged the cursor off the cell the frame had
chosen. Demonstrated above before changing anything, with `CSI 4 l` doing
the same.
Which finals belong on the list came from `vte`'s own dispatch rather than
from the spec: `g` clears tab stops, `h`/`l` set and unset ANSI modes --
their `?` forms return earlier, so this cannot disturb `?25h`/`?25l` -- and
`k` is SCP. All four reach the emulator without touching the grid.
`p` stays where it is, which is worth writing down because it looks wrong:
`CSI ! p` is DECSTR and homes the cursor in the spec, but `vte` implements
only the `$p` and `?$p` forms, so DECSTR never reaches the grid here.
Classifying it as a move would describe a terminal this is not.
The test holds all four finals against the position the frame chose, and
keeps the erase case parking, which is what the pairing is for.

A terminal workbench: persistent sessions, remote work, agents.

Why
- Performance — ~2× the throughput of Alacritty, Ghostty, or Kitty (benchmarks)
- Persistent sessions — quit the app and your shells keep running; after a reboot the layout comes back and supported agent conversations resume, 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
