* sl0p: --purpose flag and tab-level purposeuser2026-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Completes the two pieces deferred from the first workspace-hints pass. `zellij run --purpose X` / `zellij action new-pane --purpose X` tag a pane at spawn time, which is what an agent wants for panes it creates itself; the OSC wrapper still works for programs that declare their own role. Not supported with --in-place, which replaces another pane rather than being a pane of its own: clap rejects the combination rather than accepting a flag that would do nothing. `tab name="work" purpose="agent-work"` gives a whole tab a role, reported by `list-tabs --json`. It rides the tab's ROOT layout node, reusing the pane field because a tab's root is the tab container and never itself a pane -- asserted by a test for the tightest case (a tab holding exactly one pane), since a leak there would silently mislabel a pane. The interesting part is why the flag first shipped broken. There are TWO protobuf boundaries -- the plugin API and the client->server IPC contract -- and a CLI flag must cross the second one. Defaulting the field in the conversion (what "no protoc" usually forces) compiles cleanly and then silently drops the value in transit, so --purpose parsed, printed a pane id, and did nothing. Fixed by adding the field to both contracts by hand, in the .proto AND the committed generated prost, kept in lockstep so a future regeneration reproduces it: protoc is only needed to regenerate, not to build. Both boundaries now have a round-trip test, and the IPC one was confirmed to fail when the wire read is removed. Sanitising moved to Grid::set_authoritative_purpose, the single choke point every out-of-band source passes through, after the CLI path was observed delivering `bad purpose; rm -rf /` intact into list-panes --json.

* fix: position host cursor for CJK IME even when app hides cursor (#4951)Satoru Higa2026-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * fix: position host cursor for CJK IME even when app hides cursor When apps like Claude Code (ink/React library) hide the cursor during rendering, Zellij's render_cursor() was not sending a CUP sequence to the host terminal. This caused IME composition candidates to appear at the wrong position, breaking CJK input in these apps. Change cursor_coordinates() to return the cursor position unconditionally (as long as it is within bounds) along with a bool indicating visibility. render_cursor() now positions the host cursor even when the app has hidden it, so the IME subsystem can read the correct cursor position. * add test * rustfmt --------- Co-authored-by: Aram Drevekenin <aram@poor.dev>

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" -> "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 --------- Co-authored-by: divens <divens.dev@gmail.com>

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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * test(e2e): Write a regression test to validate behavior w.r.t. loading and determining the session layout file. Compared to release v0.43.1, right now there is a problem where `zellij --layout NAME`, with `NAME` being the filename of a layout in the `$ZELLIJ_DATA_DIR/layouts/` subfolder, doesn't resolve to the correct layout file. Instead, zellij will silently fall back to its default config. It does, however, recognize nonexistent configuration files. * fix(utils): Treat bare layout names as file paths first before defaulting to builtin layout names. This restores the behavior shown by zellij up until 0.43.1, which was altered in a recent extension of the server-client API. * fix: Forward client layout information to startup code and ensure it isn't ignored along the way. Update a bunch of tests to react to the new function interface and write new tests to catch deviations in the future. * test: Fix misconfigured e2e test to ensure that a custom `--config-dir` is indeed respected during application startup. * test: Rewrite config dir test to not use variable metadata since the `LayoutInfo` object previously dumped into the snapshot contains information that isn't platform agnostic, including an absolute file path and a timestamp. * docs(CHANGELOG): Mention PR #4640 in the list of changes for the next release. * fix: Handle bare layouts with name "default" correctly and assume a "default" layout if no layout name is given during layout resolution. "default" may not always be the builtin default layout, since users can write their own "default.kdl" that takes effect when placed in the layout directory an no other layouts are explicitly specified.

* fix(security): validate session name in delete-session to prevent directory ↵Thierry Santos2026-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | deletion (#4583) * fix(security): validate session name in delete-session to prevent directory deletion When delete-session receives a path instead of a session name (e.g., due to shell alias misconfiguration), PathBuf::join() replaces the cache directory base path entirely, causing remove_dir_all() to delete the user's directory. Add validate_session_name() to reject names containing '/' or invalid values. * refactor: use Result instead of Option for validate_session_name Change validate_session_name to return Result<(), &'static str> instead of Option<&'static str> for clearer error semantics. * refactor: use String for validate_session_name errors Return Result<(), String> and include the session name in error messages for better debugging context. * chore: lint changed files
