Installing 1.3.0 with ohmyzsh installed and shell integration enabled duplicates directory name

[brendanbond]

Issue Description

After updating to the latest version of ghostty with ohmyzsh installed, the terminal output duplicates the directory name after a command (see below under "actual behavior"). Disabling shell integration fixes the issue (I tried this because I saw #10953, but unless I'm misunderstanding that feature it seems odd that it would need to be disabled). I would be happy to file an issue with ohmyzsh if this is the wrong place, but this started happening immediately after the upgrade to 1.3.0.

Expected Behavior

The directory name should be displayed once:

~
❯ cd Projects

~/Projects/
❯

Actual Behavior

The directory name is displayed twice:

~
❯ cd Projects

~/Projects/
~/Projects/
❯

Reproduction Steps

1. Open Ghostty 1.3.0 with ohmyzsh installed
2. Input a command to the terminal (e.g. cd Projects)
3. Observe the duplicated title
4. Open settings, add shell-integration = none
5. Restart the terminal
6. Input a command to the terminal (e.g. cd Projects)
7. Observe that the duplicated title no longer appears

I ran into this same problem using Pure v1.24.0 without ohmyzsh installed. Disabling shell integration did suppress the issue, but upgrading to Pure v1.27.1 has fixed this for me for good - I can leave shell integration enabled with no issues.

I captured some logs using Pure v1.24.0 by launching a separate ghostty instance:

I have a very similar setup, and upgrading Pure from 1.22 -> v1.27.1 also fixed it for me. Thank you!

[CuriousFurBytes]

I'm also having the same problem, also using Pure, but I'm using oh-my-zsh. Pure was already on the latest version, reinstalling didn't fix the issue. I ended up moving to starship for now, which fixed it. Logs are from using Pure.

I added shell-integration = zsh, same issues. Changed it to none, no longer see duplicate prompts.

[mattheja]

I fixed my zsh config. I was injecting newlines in my prompt. On Ghostty v1.3.0, it works now.

[jparise]

We've had a few tricky interactions between our zsh shell integration and some other things in the zsh ecosystem.

• We do a bit of work to ensure that our prompt-based semantic markers are emitted, but many other utilities also try to (re)write PROMPT/PS1 in their own hooks.
• We acknowledge that there are some cases we don't handle:

  ghostty/src/shell-integration/zsh/ghostty-integration

  Lines 104 to 107 in f8a0a45

  	# This code works incorrectly in the presence of a precmd or chpwd
  	# hook that prints. For example, sindresorhus/pure prints an empty
  	# line on precmd and marlonrichert/zsh-snap prints $PWD on chpwd.
  	# We'll end up writing our OSC 133 D mark too late.

• Use psvar for prompt construction sindresorhus/pure#706 is an important improvement and was released in pure v1.27.0.
• The broader (oh-my-zsh) ecosystem could include other plugins that cause similar problems, which makes this a little harder to track down.

[jparise]

This reason this wasn't happening before 1.3.0 is because of the semantic prompt improvements that were introduced in 92d6dde (which injects continuation marks after every newline in PS1). We improved that for more scenarios in 9a3dbe1 and 226d0b9, but there's still the broader issue of prompts that dynamically (re)build PS1.

[jparise]

#11367 takes a different approach to PS1 management that I'm hopeful will improve our interaction with dynamic prompt systems.

[brendanbond]

Thank you for looking into this so quickly @jparise !

[mitchellh]

Is this resolved now for 1.3.1 @jparise ?

[jparise]

@mitchellh should be but would be helpful to get some additional confirmation, given how many variables (ha!) there are here.
