l0ng-ai e76d545655 test(git): build the log tests a repository instead of reading this one
Both tests pointed `load_page` and `local_branches` at
`CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR` — the checkout the tests happen to be running
inside — and then asserted things only a developer's clone is true of.
`actions/checkout` clones shallow, so "five commits" found one, and a
pull-request build checks out the merge ref detached, so "this checkout
is on a branch" found no branch. Both assertions were about the
environment; the code under test was answering correctly in each case.

They now build their own history, following `status.rs`'s `scratch()`:
a temporary directory removed on drop, `user.name` and `user.email`
pinned because a runner has neither, and `symbolic-ref` rather than
`init -b` so the branch name does not depend on the git version. One
test forks a side branch and merges it back over seven commits, so lane
layout is checked against a shape with more than one lane in it; the
other makes a single commit that modifies, adds, deletes and renames, so
the `--numstat` / `--name-status` join is exercised on four paths rather
than on whatever HEAD happened to touch.

Owning the history let the assertions get stricter rather than looser:
the commit count, the branch list and the per-file `(added, removed)`
pairs are now exact, the paging check is honest about how much history
exists, and the merge row is asserted to carry two parents and two
outgoing edges. The three other tests reading `CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR` were
audited and left alone — one bails when `git log` fails, one falls back
to a short sha on a detached HEAD, and the third is `#[ignore]`.

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

Install

Native builds for each platform on Releases:
