ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR is a substantial cross-platform terminal streaming redesign affecting transport backpressure, history persistence, replay state, rendering, and native integrations. It also changes runtime defaults and adds static-analysis suppression directives, so the scope and operational impact warrant human review. Not approved because:

When compaction removes an earlier DEC mode setter,
persistenceStartDecModesretains that state only in memory. The truncate write stores onlycapped. After a manager restart, the retained tail replays from default modes, so alternate-screen or other sticky-mode output can render in the wrong terminal state.Persist a replay prefix with the compacted history, or persist and restore the start-mode metadata. Add a restart test where the mode setter is before the retained tail.

- Around line 3349-3352: Retain the latest PTY startup error on the session
instead of clearing bootstrapError after one replay. Update the attach/replay
flow around bootstrap.snapshot.status and listener so every error-status
snapshot replays the retained failure reason, including later attaches; clear
the retained error only after a successful start, and add coverage for attaching
after an earlier failed launch.

[gpt-6] RESPONDING ON BEHALF OF WOUT:@coderabbitai review Fixed the two findings from the latest review in b09142c. Startup errors now belong to the session and survive later attaches until a successful launch. For the outside-diff DEC-mode finding, compacted durable history now includes its replay prefix in both memory and disk. This removes the separate persistence-start mode map and keeps append-recovery writes consistent. A test compacts away the mode setters, appends another frame, and loads the persisted history in a fresh manager; the original modes and final resets are preserved. All 119 manager/transport tests and the server typecheck pass. Please review the latest commit; automatic reviews remain paused. |

Rebase terminal streaming onto current main, retaining offset-based client output, bounded history reads, visibility controls, and provider-aware terminal launches. Capture extended replay before the attach repaint and restore the PTY size if attach is interrupted. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Large terminal sessions repeatedly rewrote retained history and could queue unbounded output for slow clients. This streams bounded PTY batches, appends durable history, and lets web and native mobile clients replay deeper scrollback incrementally.
replayBytesrequest for compatibility.Rebased onto current main, preserving its offset-based client cursors, bounded history-file reads, hidden-terminal rendering controls, and provider-instance launch handling. Extended replay now captures history and its sequence together before requesting a repaint, preventing duplicate output. Cancelling an attach also restores the PTY's temporary resize. Compacted durable history carries its DEC mode prefix so replay stays consistent after a server restart.
Reset updates preserve replay/live segments on web, desktop, and mobile, including unread bytes arriving before a render or native surface reset. Both replay and transport queues preserve final output before close and release blocked producers on disconnect. Buffering starts atomically with the captured snapshot, retained startup errors follow every error-status snapshot, and close receives its sequence after pending output drains. A subscription that stops draining for 30 seconds fails explicitly and releases its producers, so it cannot block terminal lifecycle commands indefinitely. Alternate-screen recoloring is removed from this PR because RGB equality cannot distinguish terminal defaults from explicit application colors.
Validation: 325 focused tests pass across terminal manager/transport, contracts, shared client state, native command mapping, and web/Ghostty WASM. Server, web, and mobile typechecks pass. Scoped formatting and lint pass (lint has warnings, no errors). The rebase retains current mobile Material controls, capture handling, native hardware-key support, workspace leases, and the WebSocket output window. The runtime-environment test now uses the updated manager fixture signature. Native replay streaming uses the same revision-2 capability gate as attach sizing; missing/revision-1 binaries keep the initialBuffer fallback. All 20 focused mobile terminal tests and the mobile typecheck pass after that compatibility fix.
Native iOS/Android compilation and device rendering were not run in this update. The images below are evidence from the prior PR revisions, not a new browser pass.

Note
High Risk
Changes span server attach/replay protocol, session state shape (
buffer→ chunkedoutput), and native mobile command paths; older clients or stale native binaries can mis-decode streams or lack streaming APIs.Overview
Mobile native terminals now accept incremental output instead of rebuilding from a single
initialBufferprop. Android and iOS exposestreamingRevision2 with asyncwrite,writeReplay, andreset, queue up to 8 MiB of pending data before the surface exists, suppress PTY query replies during replay, and coalesce redraws. Ghostty scrollback is configured as 64 MiB (byte budget) so large 4 MiB replays fit.NativeTerminalSurfaceswitches from a flatbufferstring toTerminalOutputState, gates on native streaming support, and queuesreset/write/writeReplaycommands with retry, deferred empty replay resets while history streams, and one-shot surface recovery on command failure. The thread route passesreplayPending,replayPaused, and requestsEXTENDED_TERMINAL_REPLAY_BYTESon attach when the binary supports it; buffer replay helpers only signal pause during font-layout transitions instead of hiding the whole buffer.Server
TerminalManagertests in this diff reflect the broader streaming work: byte-capped durable history and replay tails,replay-start/replay-completeonly whenreplayBytesis set, PTY output batching and pause/resume under backlog, DEC mode prefixing for aged replay tails, attach resize wiggle for alternate-screen apps, and stricter mouse report handling when tracking ends.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 54c67517d25b11b86ae025029ec4084a86d2177d.
