<id>urn:sha1:812ad861bc3f4a8ba6f411c1a3b1163bfef43766</id>

`find_executable` used to short-circuit on the first exists()-and-is_file
match and only consult PATHEXT if no bare file was present. That returned
the wrong file for tools whose Windows installer ships both a Unix-style
launcher and a `.bat` alongside it. The reported case is Composer, whose
setup places bare `composer` (a Unix launcher, invalid PE on Windows) next
to `composer.bat`. The bare file was resolved and handed to CreateProcessW,
which rejected it with ERROR_BAD_EXE_FORMAT.

On Windows, when the candidate has no user-supplied extension, walk PATHEXT
first and only fall back to the bare match if nothing matches. This mirrors
cmd.exe's and powershell's resolution.</content>

* build(deps): bump sysinfo to 0.37 for scan-free partial process refresh

Bump it to pull in sysinfo 0.37's change "Linux: greatly improve partial
processes retrieval", so that refreshing a specific set of pids
(ProcessesToUpdate::Some) no longer walks the entire /proc tree.
This makes the existing get_cwd/get_cwds polling O(panes) instead of
O(host processes) and unblocks doing the same for foreground-command discovery.

* perf: discover foreground pane commands w/o scanning all processes

Foreground command discovery was reading information about every process
on the host, on each pane/tab creation and on every periodic poll. On hosts
with many processes (eg, 50k) this stalled pane creation for tens of seconds
and overran the action-completion timeout.

Replace that O(host processes) lookup with an O(panes) lookup. Instead
of looking up the parent pid of every process to find the child, get
the foreground process-group leader's pid from a call to tcgetpgrp on
the pane's controlling terminal. When the leader is the shell itself
(idle prompt or a command sharing the shell's group without job control)
the pane is omitted and the caller falls back to the shell command,
matching prior behavior; with job control on it now reports the true
foreground job instead of possibly a background one.

This changes the paths for Linux, macOS, and BSD. It leaves Windows unchanged.

* refactor(os_input): extract apply_post_command_hook helper

The command -&gt; run_command_hook -&gt; trim/split pipeline was duplicated between
the #[cfg(not(unix))] get_all_cmds_by_ppid and the unix get_foreground_cmds.
Extract a single apply_post_command_hook helper and call it from both sites,
routing the hook-failure fallback through the project's non_fatal() logging
idiom (CONTRIBUTING.md "Logging errors") instead of log::error!.

* review: simplify tcgetpgrp locking, trim comments, drop changelog entries

- Remove the lock-drop dance and its TOCTOU caveat from tcgetpgrp,
  to make it mirror tcdrain
- Prune AI comments
- Remove CHANGELOG entries</content>

<id>urn:sha1:f6bf1af1cef0138d42429ddcb1246ae4f2c6216b</id>

* feat: add Windows signal and process implementations

- AsyncSignalListener: polls crossterm size at 100ms, tokio ctrl_c/break/close
- BlockingSignalIterator: SetConsoleCtrlHandler + AtomicBool, polls size at 50ms
- signal_process: GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent for Interrupt, TerminateProcess for Kill
- Add windows-sys workspace dependency

* feat: add Windows IPC support with named pipes and marker files

- ipc_connect/ipc_bind/ipc_bind_async helpers with cfg gates for named pipes
- Dual-pipe architecture on Windows: main pipe + reply pipe per connection to
  prevent IPC deadlock (half-duplex named pipe limitation)
- is_ipc_socket returns is_file() on non-Unix for marker file discovery
- ipc_bind creates empty marker file after binding named pipe on Windows
- assert_socket split: cfg(unix) probes with ConnStatus, cfg(not(unix)) returns
  true to avoid deadlocking the server accept loop
- Replace tokio UnixListener/UnixStream with interprocess tokio Listener/Stream
  in web server IPC for cross-platform support
- Add interprocess tokio feature to workspace deps

* feat: add Windows client support for input, server spawn, and stack size

- Two-mode Windows input: crossterm event reader for native console,
  termwiz byte parser for terminal emulators (VT input mode)
- cast_crossterm_key: convert crossterm KeyEvent to KeyWithModifier
- ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_INPUT on Windows stdin for raw VT byte reading
- Skip ANSI terminal query on Windows to unblock startup
- spawn_server: CREATE_NO_WINDOW | CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP on Windows
- 8MB stack trampoline in main() for Windows (default 1MB overflows)
- 8MB stack for server worker threads (WASM compilation needs it)
- Enable crossterm events and bracketed-paste features

* test: make tests cross-platform for Windows

- Socket tests: cross-platform IpcGuard/IpcName helpers with GenericNamespaced
  on Windows vs GenericFilePath/TempDir on Unix
- Layout tests: normalize_layout_debug() replaces backslash separators in Debug
  output on Windows; gate env_var_expansion test with cfg(unix)
- Setup tests: use PathBuf::join + display() instead of hardcoded / separators
- Server OS tests: cross-platform command helpers (long_running_cmd, echo_cmd,
  stdin_reader_cmd) with CREATE_NO_WINDOW on Windows
- zellij_exports: replace GenericFilePath with ipc_connect() helper

* ci: add Windows build and test jobs with debug logging

- Add build-windows job: cargo check --no-default-features on windows-latest
- Add test-windows job: cargo test --no-default-features for utils/server/client
- Enable manual workflow_dispatch trigger
- Add debug log::info! calls in server startup, plugin loading, PTY spawning,
  and screen layout application for troubleshooting

* feat: implement Windows stubs for shell, command hooks, and process listing

Replace unimplemented!() stubs with working Windows implementations:
- get_default_shell: reads $COMSPEC, falls back to cmd.exe
- run_command_hook: uses cmd /C with RESURRECT_COMMAND env var
- get_all_cmds_by_ppid: uses sysinfo to enumerate processes by parent PID

* feat: implement Windows daemonize_web_server with detached process spawning

Replace the `unimplemented!()` stub with a proper background process
spawner that mirrors the existing `spawn_server` pattern: launch a
foreground `zellij web --start` child with CREATE_NO_WINDOW |
CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP, poll the TCP port to confirm it's listening,
then exit the parent process.

* feat: implement native ConPTY backend for Windows PTY

Replace all WindowsPtyBackend stubs with a full ConPTY implementation:

- CreatePseudoConsole with overlapped named pipes for IOCP-based async
  I/O (zero extra threads on the read path per pane)
- CreateProcessW with PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_PSEUDOCONSOLE and proper
  UTF-16 command line quoting / environment block construction
- ConPtyAsyncReader with lazy promotion from OwnedHandle to tokio
  NamedPipeServer (reactor not available at spawn time)
- Per-terminal exit monitoring thread using WaitForSingleObject
- ResizePseudoConsole for terminal resize, WriteFile for stdin,
  TerminateProcess / GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent for signals

Note: for PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_PSEUDOCONSOLE, the HPCON value must be
passed directly as lpValue (not a pointer to it), matching the C
convention where HPCON is void*. In Rust (windows-sys) HPCON is isize,
requiring an explicit cast. See microsoft/terminal#6705.

* chore: remove debug logging from ConPTY backend

* fix: resolve Windows plugin directory and WASI mount errors

Two Windows-specific fixes for the plugin system:

1. Replace colons with underscores in URL-derived plugin directory names
   (e.g. "zellij:tab-bar" -&gt; "zellij_tab-bar"). Colons are illegal in
   Windows path components, causing OS error 123 on plugin dir creation.

2. Use FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS when opening directories for WASI
   pre-opened mounts. Windows requires this flag to open directory
   handles, otherwise File::open() returns OS error 5 (access denied).

Both fixes are behind #[cfg(windows)] — Unix behavior is unchanged.

* fix: enable mouse support on Windows native console path

Mouse events were silently dropped in the crossterm event loop, and
enable_mouse() wrote VT escape sequences that don't set the required
ENABLE_MOUSE_INPUT console mode flag. Add from_crossterm_mouse()
converter, InputInstruction::MouseEvent variant, and use crossterm's
EnableMouseCapture/DisableMouseCapture on Windows.

* fix: Windows get_default_shell() now checks $SHELL before $COMSPEC

* fix: resolve bare command names via PATH and PATHEXT on Windows

CreateProcessW doesn't reliably resolve bare command names (e.g.
"pwsh") through PATH the way Unix execvp does. Additionally, the
existing command_exists() check didn't consider Windows PATHEXT
extensions (.exe, .cmd, .bat, etc.).

Add find_executable() and resolve_command() which search PATH with
PATHEXT support on Windows, and use the resolved absolute path when
spawning via CreateProcessW.

* chore: run cargo fmt --all

* fix: canonicalize expected paths in setup tests for Windows \\?\ prefix

* fix: Windows CI test failures in spawn_and_read_output and snapshot test

Use cmd /K instead of /C in spawn test so ConPTY has time to flush
output before the pipe closes. Normalize backslashes in snapshot test
to handle Windows path separators.

* fix: strip redundant Shift and AltGr modifiers from Windows key events

On the Windows native console path, crossterm reports physical modifier
flags alongside the already-translated character. For example on French
AZERTY, Shift+ù produces Char('%') with SHIFT, and AltGr+_ produces
Char('\') with CTRL+ALT. These extra modifiers cause keybinding
mismatches and prevent modified characters from being typed in plugin
text inputs.

Strip Shift for all Char events and Ctrl+Alt (AltGr) when the character
is printable, matching Unix terminal behavior where only the resulting
character is reported. Also fix raw byte synthesis for AltGr characters
to emit plain UTF-8 instead of ESC-prefixed sequences.

* fix: detect and clean up stale Windows sessions via PID-based liveness check

Write server PID to marker files instead of creating empty files.
assert_socket() on Windows now reads the PID and checks process liveness
via OpenProcess, cleaning up stale marker files for dead sessions.

* fix: connect reply pipe on Windows for kill-session and delete-session

On Windows the server blocks on reply_listener.accept() after accepting
the main pipe connection. Without a reply pipe connection, the route
thread is never spawned and the KillSession message is never processed.

* fix: wait for server Exit response in kill/delete session on Windows

The previous fire-and-forget approach was unreliable: the client would
disconnect before the server's route thread had time to read and process
the KillSession message. Now we wait for the Exit response on the reply
pipe, ensuring the server has fully processed the kill before we return.

* fix: resolve Windows console mode race between VT input and mouse setup

Two threads race over SetConsoleMode on the stdin console handle:
- stdin_handler calls enable_vt_input() (read-modify-write)
- input_handler calls enable_mouse() via crossterm's EnableMouseCapture
  (full SetConsoleMode overwrite to 0x0098)

Depending on ordering, crossterm could clobber ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_INPUT
(breaking the VT byte reader), or enable_vt_input could preserve
ENABLE_QUICK_EDIT_MODE (intercepting mouse events at the console level).

Fix enable_vt_input() to explicitly set the exact console mode needed
(0x0298) instead of read-modify-write, clearing QUICK_EDIT_MODE and other
line-editing flags.

Fix enable_mouse()/disable_mouse() on the VT path (TERM is set) to use
ANSI escape sequences instead of crossterm's Console API, avoiding the
competing SetConsoleMode call entirely. Enable ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING
on stdout first so ConPTY forwards the DEC private mode sequences to the
terminal emulator.

* fix: session-manager plugin kill session on Windows dual-pipe IPC

The plugin's kill_sessions() only connected the main pipe and sent
KillSession, but on Windows the server blocks on reply_listener.accept()
before spawning the route thread. Without connecting the reply pipe the
message was never processed.

Add the same dual-pipe handling as the CLI kill_session(): connect the
reply pipe first, send the message, then wait for the Exit response.

* fix(windows): replace resize polling with event forwarding from stdin thread

Forward crossterm Event::Resize from the stdin thread to the signal
handler thread via an mpsc channel, replacing the 50ms polling loop.
This makes terminal resizing much more responsive during mouse-driven
resizes and eliminates wasteful polling when idle.

When the VT reader path is active (terminal emulators with TERM set),
the sender is dropped, causing the signal handler to automatically
fall back to size-polling — preserving existing behavior for that path.

Unix is unaffected: handle_signals receives None for the receiver and
BlockingSignalIterator continues using signal_hook as before.

* fix(windows): enable ANSI terminal queries on the VT reader path

The startup ANSI query mechanism (pixel dimensions, colors, sync output)
was blanket-skipped on Windows. The actual limitation is specific to the
native console path, where crossterm's event::read() uses
ReadConsoleInput (INPUT_RECORDs) and never reaches the byte-reader loop
that parses ANSI responses.

On the VT reader path (terminal emulators like Alacritty with TERM set),
fill_buf() reads raw VT bytes via ReadFile — same as Unix — so ANSI
query responses work normally. Move the use_vt_reader decision earlier
and use it to gate the query, enabling it for the VT reader path while
still skipping it on native console.

* fix: handle early TerminalResize before client is fully registered

On Windows, enable_mouse()'s SetConsoleMode call can generate a
WINDOW_BUFFER_SIZE_EVENT that arrives as a resize before the server
finishes processing the initial client connection. At that point
set_client_data() hasn't been called yet, so set_client_size() silently
no-ops on the None entry and min_client_terminal_size() returns None.

Instead of panicking, skip the resize when the minimum size can't be
determined — the server will query the terminal size once setup
completes.

* fix: remove unnecessary custom stack size

Early versions of zelilj windows port crashed with stack overflow.
Increasing stack size allowed proper startup and moving further with the
porting effort. Current implementation no longer suffers from stack
issues, so we can revert back to default stack size.

* fix(windows): re-enable Ctrl+C handling inherited by ConPTY children

The server is spawned with CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP, which disables
Ctrl+C for the process.  Children inherit this disabled state, so
ConPTY child processes (shells, ping, etc.) silently ignore
CTRL_C_EVENT signals generated by the pseudo-console.

Call SetConsoleCtrlHandler(NULL, FALSE) early in start_server() to
clear the inherited ignore flag before any ConPTY children are created.

* refactor(windows): move inline cfg(windows) blocks to platform files

Break out inline #[cfg(windows)] blocks from shared client code into
the existing _unix.rs / _windows.rs platform files, per upstream
feedback.

- Split spawn_server into two #[cfg]-gated function definitions
- Extract setup_ipc, enable_mouse_support, disable_mouse_support into
  os_input_output_unix.rs and os_input_output_windows.rs
- Unify BlockingSignalIterator::new() signature across platforms
- Extract native console stdin loop into stdin_handler_windows.rs

* fix: remove sporadic info log statements

* ci(windows): add Windows x64 release builds and upgrade CI

- Add Windows x64 target to release.yml for both normal and no-web
  release matrices, with NASM, static CRT, .zip packaging, and
  PowerShell checksum steps
- Upgrade build-windows in rust.yml from cargo check to cargo xtask
  build, add wasm32-wasip1 target and NASM
- Add build_release() function and platform-aware e2e_build() to
  xtask/src/ci.rs
- Add BuildRelease command definition to xtask/src/flags.rs

* refactor(client): make resize channel unconditional across platforms

Create the resize mpsc channel on all platforms instead of gating it
behind #[cfg(windows)], avoiding conditionally-existing variables that
are hard to follow. On Unix the sender is immediately dropped and the
receiver is passed as None-equivalent to handle_signals.

* refactor(windows): restructure signal iterator with if/else for channel vs poll

Consolidate the quit check at the top of a single loop and use if/else
for channel mode (native console) vs poll mode (VT reader). On channel
disconnect, set resize_receiver to None and continue into the else
branch instead of falling through.

* docs(server): clarify comment about early resize before client init

Explain why min_client_terminal_size() can return None even after
set_client_size(): new_client() inserts None, and set_client_size()
is a no-op on None entries since it uses as_mut().map().

* feat(web): add --server-startup-timeout flag for web server

Make the hardcoded 10-second TCP-poll timeout in the non-Unix
daemonize_web_server configurable via a CLI flag, defaulting to 10s.

* fix(windows): use unique pipe names for ConPTY output on re-spawn

When a held pane re-runs a command or drops to shell, do_spawn tried
to create a named pipe with the same name as the previous spawn.  The
old ConPtyAsyncReader still held the read handle, so CreateNamedPipeW
failed (FILE_FLAG_FIRST_PIPE_INSTANCE, max instances = 1) and the
error was silently swallowed, leaving the pane blank.

Add a monotonic AtomicU64 counter to the pipe name so each spawn gets
a globally unique pipe, regardless of whether the previous one has
been cleaned up yet.

* ci(windows): enable static CRT for regular Windows release build

The no-web Windows build already had RUSTFLAGS="-C target-feature=+crt-static"
but the regular build was missing it, resulting in a dynamic CRT dependency.

* docs(web): clarify --server-startup-timeout is Windows-only

* refactor: platform-abstract path constants

Add #[cfg(not(unix))] counterpart to unix_only module in consts.rs so
path constants compile on non-Unix platforms. Move nix dependency to
cfg(unix)-only in both zellij-utils and root crate.

* refactor: Windows cross-compilation proof

Enable all 5 core crates to compile for x86_64-pc-windows-gnu by fixing
dependency issues and upgrading sysinfo. This validates that PRs 1.1–7.1
correctly gated all Unix-specific code behind cfg attributes.

- Enable crossterm "windows" feature in workspace deps (no-op on non-Windows)
- Remove dead mio dependency from zellij-client (zero imports)
- Add Windows cross-compilation linker config to .cargo/config.toml
- Upgrade sysinfo 0.22.5 → 0.33 (drops ntapi v0.3.7 packed struct UB)
  - Remove deprecated ProcessExt/SystemExt trait imports
  - Pid::from(i32) → Pid::from_u32(u32)
  - process.cwd() now returns Option&lt;&amp;Path&gt;
  - process.cmd() now returns &amp;[OsString]
  - Use precise ProcessRefreshKind (nothing + with_cwd/with_cmd)

* refactor: upgrade interprocess to v2+ with cross-platform IPC support

Replace interprocess 1.2.1 with 2.2+ which provides cross-platform
local socket support (Unix domain sockets on Unix, named pipes on
Windows). Migrate all call sites from the flat v1 API to the v2
enum-dispatch API, and replace nix::unistd::dup fd-duplication with
interprocess::TryClone::try_clone().

* refactor: abstract FD duplication in IPC behind IpcStream trait

Decouple IPC structs from the concrete transport by introducing an
IpcStream trait that abstracts read/write/clone. Internal fields change
from BufWriter&lt;LocalSocketStream&gt; to BufWriter&lt;Box&lt;dyn IpcStream&gt;&gt;,
while the public new() constructors still accept LocalSocketStream so
no callers need updating.

* refactor: abstract session discovery behind is_ipc_socket() helper

Replace all 6 direct uses of std::os::unix::fs::FileTypeExt::is_socket()
with a cross-platform is_ipc_socket() helper in consts.rs. On Unix it
delegates to FileTypeExt::is_socket(); on non-Unix it returns false as a
placeholder for platform-specific session discovery added later.

* refactor: replace RawFd with i32 in debug_to_file

Replace the Unix-specific RawFd type with plain i32 in the debug_to_file
infrastructure. This removes the last RawFd usage from the cross-crate
debug logging API, making it platform-independent.

* refactor: cross-platform PTY abstraction with AsyncFd

Replace portable-pty with native openpty and introduce a platform-split
architecture for PTY operations:

- os_input_output_unix.rs: UnixPtyBackend with native openpty, AsyncFd-based
  epoll reader (no spawn_blocking per pane), signal handling via nix
- os_input_output_windows.rs: WindowsPtyBackend stubs (unimplemented)
- os_input_output.rs: shared ServerOsApi trait, ServerOsInputOutput composes
  PtyBackendImpl, build_command() extracts TerminalAction→RunCommand logic

Key changes:
- AsyncFd&lt;File&gt; replaces both tokio::fs::File (upstream) and spawn_blocking
  SyncReadAsyncReader (previous port) for zero-overhead epoll PTY reads
- orig_termios restored: openpty(None, &amp;orig_termios) passes parent's VERASE
- ServerOsApi returns Box&lt;dyn AsyncReader&gt; instead of Box&lt;dyn Read + Send&gt;
- TerminalBytes::new takes Box&lt;dyn AsyncReader&gt; directly
- NullAsyncReader replaces std::io::empty() for held panes
- Platform modules gated with #[cfg(not(windows))] / #[cfg(windows)]
- Removed portable-pty dependency, restored close_fds
- Added tokio "net" feature for AsyncFd

* build(utils): Replace `async_std` with `tokio`

removing an entire async runtime from the dependency tree. `tokio` has
previously been required by `wasmtime` in any case, and the version of
async_std we used was ancient (1.3) and relied on unstable features.

* build(server): Remove `async_std` from the codebase

and replace it with `tokio` instead, which is already used by
`zellij-utils` and `wasmtime`.

* build(server): Remove dead dependency.

* fix: Don't keep an async runtime in the `zellij-utils` subcrate

but prefer to reuse an existing runtime from a caller instead. If no
such runtime exists, create an ephemeral runtime on the current thread
to run async tasks instead. Ideally, the functions needing the async
task would be async themselves, but these are called by the `Layout`
code based on a `ClientMsg`, and the code handling this currently lives
in `zellij-utils` and is sync itself. So, for the time being, there is
no way around this runtime requirement without a huge refactoring.

* refactor(server): Unclutter async tasks

in a few cases where either blocking code was called in an (unnecessary)
async task or an entire thread was spawned to block on the result of an
async task.

* docs(CHANGELOG): Mention PR 4672

* fix(server): Don't terminate when killing a panes children fails

but log the error and continue instead.

* feat: Add config option for number of async tasks to spawn

so users on machines with few resources can configure a task limit
without requiring recompilation.</content>
