Terminal creation no longer waits for the Ghostty viewport to report its
size: it starts the PTY immediately with a container/font-derived
provisional size (falling back to 80x24), then resizes once the real
viewport dimensions are known, with a dedupe guard while sizing settles.
Starting the shell earlier means it can emit device/theme queries before
a browser terminal is attached to answer them, so the server now answers
primary device attribute queries itself (Fish blocks ~10s on this at
startup) and bun-pty buffers output emitted before a data subscriber
attaches. Also fixes a few WebSocket transport reconnect races surfaced
by session creation now overlapping renderer setup.
Opening a terminal rebuilt the WASM terminal twice and rewrote the
persisted session snapshot on every streamed output chunk, so the cost
grew with each open terminal and could crash under load.
- Move PTY scrollback to a standalone buffers map keyed by directory and
tab id; output no longer touches sessions, so the tab strip, the
project-action monitor and the persist projection stay referentially
stable while chunks stream.
- Memoize partialize and add a dedup storage adapter that skips writes
when the persisted projection is unchanged.
- Reuse the idle terminal WebSocket across tab switches (15s grace)
instead of re-authenticating and replaying the snapshot on every attach.
- Key the viewport by directory + tab only so createSession no longer
tears down and rebuilds the Ghostty terminal.
- Reset the terminal in place on replay discontinuities instead of
bumping the renderer generation.
- Scan the chunk array from the end (O(1) per write) instead of findIndex.
Adds regression tests for the buffer map, socket reuse and viewport key,
and documents the store invariants.
