`scm_watch_dirs` hands back what `git rev-parse` answered, and git writes forward slashes and no extended-length prefix even on Windows. The test's expected side is built from `fs::canonicalize`, which on Windows returns `\\?\C:\…` — so the two named the same directory and compared unequal, and the Windows job failed on a path the watcher would have been perfectly happy with. Both spellings reach the same directory through the Win32 file APIs, so the watcher is right to pass git's answer straight to `Host::watch` and nothing changes outside the test. The five assertions now go through a `one_spelling` helper and keep their exact-equality teeth; on unix it is a no-op, which is why this was invisible until Windows CI ran the branch for the first time.

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
