Fix blank terminal on macOS 26 and macOS 15:
- Add macOS 26 guard to two additional code paths that set window non-opaque
- Fix NSVisualEffectView z-order: add to themeFrame instead of contentView
- Align sidebarBlendMode defaults between @AppStorage and UserDefaults
- Add read_screen socket command and blank screen regression test
- Add reloads.sh staging script
* Sidebar status as text + detect git HEAD changes instantly
- Replace sidebar status pills with plain text + show more/less toggle
for a cleaner, more readable sidebar layout
- Watch .git/HEAD mtime in zsh precmd to detect branch changes from
aliases (gco), tools (gh pr checkout), etc. without waiting for the
3s polling interval
- Fix NSImage shared instance mutation in DraggableFolderNSView by
copying before resizing to prevent layout side-effects
- Fix set_status --tab flag being swallowed by -- stop token via
new parseOptionsNoStop parser
- Update sidebar test to cover alias-based branch switching
* Append status text to notification body automatically
When creating notifications, include the tab's current status entries
in the notification body so users see context (e.g. git branch, ports)
alongside the notification message.
* Add screenshot to README
The transparency setup (non-opaque window + clear subview backgrounds)
required for the glass effect breaks SwiftUI content rendering on
macOS 26. Disable background glass when NSGlassEffectView is available
until a proper macOS 26 implementation is found.
WindowGlassEffect.apply() replaced the window's contentView with the
glass/blur view on all macOS versions. On macOS 13-15, swapping the
contentView on a window with fullSizeContentView + transparent titlebar
breaks the titlebar view hierarchy, causing traffic light buttons to
disappear behind the content.
Split into two paths:
- macOS 26+ (NSGlassEffectView): full contentView replacement (safe)
- macOS 13-15: insert NSVisualEffectView as a background subview of the
existing contentView, preserving the titlebar hierarchy
Also fix the custom titlebar overlay overlapping the traffic lights and
left titlebar accessories (sidebar/bell/+ buttons) when the sidebar is
hidden. Use TitlebarLeadingInsetReader to dynamically measure the actual
width of traffic lights + left accessories and apply it as leading padding.
* Add sidebar blur effect with withinWindow blending
- Add NSVisualEffectView-based blur backdrop for sidebar
- Support withinWindow blending mode to blur terminal content behind sidebar
- Auto-switch to overlay layout when withinWindow mode is selected
- Add sidebar debug panel with material, blending, tint, and opacity controls
- Add preset options (HUD Glass, Popover Glass, etc.)
- Default to HUD Glass preset with withinWindow blur
* Simplify tab close button visibility and remove hover background
Show close button only on hover instead of when active/multi-selected.
Remove the hover background color from tabs for cleaner appearance.
* Add config reload support with notification system
- Add reloadConfiguration() methods for app-wide and per-surface reload
- Handle GHOSTTY_ACTION_RELOAD_CONFIG action from Ghostty
- Add ghosttyConfigDidReload notification for views to react
- TerminalSplitTreeView reloads GhosttyConfig on notification
- Add openConfigurationInTextEdit() helper
- Fix activeMainWindow() to correctly find main window
* Add custom tab titles and pinned tabs support
- Add customTitle and isPinned properties to Tab
- Separate process title from custom title with applyProcessTitle()
- Add setCustomTitle()/clearCustomTitle() for user-defined tab names
- Add togglePin()/setPinned() with automatic reordering
- Pinned tabs stay at the top, new tabs insert after pinned section
- moveTabToTop/moveTabsToTop respect pinned tab ordering
* Add --panel option to new-split command
- CLI: Parse --panel <id|index> option for new-split
- Controller: Resolve panel argument to split specific surface
- Return new panel UUID on successful split creation
* Fix notifications popover positioning with layout-aware anchor
- Use AnchorNSView with layout callback for reliable positioning
- Force layout before showing popover to ensure current geometry
- Convert anchor bounds to window content view coordinates
- Add fallback positioning near top-left when anchor unavailable
- Fix button hit testing with explicit frame and contentShape
* Improve app termination in reload script
Use osascript to gracefully quit by bundle ID before pkill fallback.
Add more robust pkill patterns to catch instances from any DerivedData path.
* Add sidebar blur effect with live-adjustable glass settings
- Add WindowGlassEffect for window-level NSGlassEffectView (macOS 26+)
- Add SidebarBackdrop with configurable material, blend mode, tint, and opacity
- Add Sidebar Debug panel (Debug menu) for live adjustment of sidebar appearance
- Add Background Debug panel for window glass tint settings
- Support both behindWindow and withinWindow blur modes
- Live tint updates without requiring window reload
* Align titlebar text to left edge of content area
- Add TerminalSurface class to own ghostty_surface_t lifecycle per tab
- Use ZStack to keep all terminal views alive instead of recreating on switch
- Add NSTextInputClient conformance to properly handle interpretKeyEvents
- Add ghostty_surface_set_focus calls for proper focus management
- Add doCommand(by:) override to silence unhandled key command beeps
