Multi-session quality-of-life release: undo an accidental close, fit nine terminals on screen, and give run commands a real shell. Plus a noticeably snappier terminal under load.
Highlights
Recently closed sessions — Ctrl+Shift+T reopens the session you just closed, browser-style. The New Session dialog also lists the last 10 closed sessions for one-click revival. Reopened sessions get a fresh id, so you can close and reopen the same one repeatedly.
⚠️ Ctrl+Shift+T used to duplicate the active session. Duplicate has moved to Ctrl+Alt+T.
3×3 grid layout — nine panes for when four isn't enough. Persists across restarts like the other layouts.
Run commands grew up
- PowerShell mode — per-command toggle between a bare process and a PowerShell host. Use it when your command needs pipes, redirection, $env: or cmdlets. Runs via pwsh where available, falling back to powershell.exe.
- Post-run URL — optionally open a URL in your browser when a command exits 0. npm run dev → http://localhost:5173, no alt-tab.
- Output no longer leaks ConPTY's [?9001h bootstrap escape into the drawer.
Launch & shutdown spinners — starting sessions show Starting … (or Connecting to … over SSH) until the shell's first output, with an 8-second fallback so a silent command never locks the pane. Closing the window now shows a shutdown overlay instead of freezing.
Faster typing under load — chatty background sessions used to flood the shared UI queue and make the foreground terminal's keystrokes lag behind. Output is now coalesced into a single scheduled post, so the keystroke path stays clear no matter how noisy the other panes are.
Fixes
- --resume now honours CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR. If you'd set it, resume was reading session ids from a stale ~/.claude and failing with "No conversation found with session ID".
- Fixed a Win32 race where a session's exit could be reported before the child process had actually exited.
- Post-run URLs are now restricted to http/https. They fire automatically with no confirmation, and ShellExecute would otherwise launch a local executable or protocol handler — see #87.
- Updated Microsoft.Data.Sqlite to clear a high-severity advisory (GHSA-2m69-gcr7-jv3q) in a transitive dependency.
- Binaries now report the correct File version. Every release through v0.5.0 stamped 0.3.4.0 regardless of the actual version.
Upgrading
Drop-in over v0.5.0 — your state.json loads unchanged, and the new per-command fields default to previous behaviour. Verified against a real 40-session profile.
