Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added inline terminal image rendering with Sixel and iTerm image support.
    • Windows local terminals now support Sixel passthrough through bundled ConPTY components.
    • Local terminal sessions now provide consistent terminal identity information.
    • Improved split-pane resizing with smoother dragging, keyboard adjustments, and larger divider targets.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed a crash when resizing the Files grid.
    • File manager errors are now isolated and can recover without reloading the entire app.
    • Improved terminal image rendering after pane resizing.
  • Documentation

    • Updated terminal documentation and the unreleased changelog.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for terminal images, terminal environments, pane layouts, and Files grid scrolling.

Resize used the next column count before react-window updated, so
scrollToCell threw RangeError and the root error boundary blanked the
window. Scroll after layout, skip empty grids, and isolate Files errors.
Load @xterm/addon-image after term.open so fastfetch/chafa can use bitmap
output. Sideload Windows Terminal ConPTY so local shells pass Sixel DCS,
and set TERM_PROGRAM=zync so IDE identity does not leak into the PTY.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds Sixel and iTerm image rendering, Windows ConPTY sideloading, local PTY identity variables, pane resize handling, file-grid scroll validation, and isolated file-manager error recovery. It also adds tests, CI coverage, documentation, and release notes.

Changes

Terminal and UI behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Terminal image addon lifecycle
package.json, src/lib/terminal/*, src/components/terminal/useTerminalLifecycle.ts, src/index.css, tests/terminalImage.test.mjs
Adds optional Sixel and iTerm IIP rendering with overlay rebuild, caching, cleanup, and tests.
Windows ConPTY and PTY identity setup
src-tauri/build.rs, src-tauri/src/windows_conpty.rs, src-tauri/src/pty_term_env.rs, src-tauri/src/pty.rs, src-tauri/tauri.windows.conf.json
Downloads and verifies ConPTY binaries, bundles both architectures, preloads ConPTY, and applies normalized local PTY identity variables.
Pane divider and transient resize flow
src/components/terminal/PaneDivider.tsx, src/components/terminal/PaneLayoutView.tsx, src/lib/terminal/terminalFit.ts, src/lib/paneLayout/*, src/index.css
Uses per-operation resize holds, normalized drag ratios, animation-frame updates, settle states, and overlay sash hit targets.
File-manager recovery and focused scrolling
src/components/ErrorBoundary.tsx, src/components/errorBoundaryRetry.ts, src/components/file-manager/*, src/components/layout/MainLayout.tsx, src/components/terminal/FeaturePaneBody.tsx
Adds isolated subtree recovery and recalculates valid focused-cell scroll targets after layout changes.
Documentation and release validation
.github/workflows/ci.yml, tests/*, docs/TERMINAL.md, CHANGELOG.md, tsconfig.agent-tests.json
Adds coverage for the new behavior and documents terminal images, ConPTY handling, PTY identity variables, known gaps, and fixes.

- Line 49: Update the error handling around ErrorBoundary’s isolated retry path
so failed React.lazy imports are retried via a page reload or an explicit
mechanism that recreates the lazy loader, rather than calling this.reset().
Preserve reset behavior for non-import failures.

In `@src/components/file-manager/FileGrid.tsx`:
- Around line 709-711: Update the FileGrid resize handling so focused-cell
scrolling runs after every grid resize, including height-only changes. In the
onResize callback, invoke scrollFocusedGridCell with the updated column count,
or make the layout effect depend on both viewport width and height while
preserving the existing scroll reset behavior.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Recreate existing ConPTY artifacts from the pinned package.

These checks validate only file presence. A stale or mixed conpty.dll and OpenConsole.exe pair passes them after a package-pin update. The build then packages binaries that the declared SHA-256 never validated.

Re-extract both files from the verified .nupkg on each build, or store and validate provenance for the extracted pair.

Proposed fix
 fn ensure_conpty_pair(vendor_root: &Path) -> Result<(), String> {
     for arch in ["x64", "arm64"] {
-        let dir = vendor_root.join(arch);
-        if dir.join("conpty.dll").is_file() && dir.join("OpenConsole.exe").is_file() {
-            continue;
-        }
         extract_conpty_arch(vendor_root, arch)?;
     }
     Ok(())
 }
