First slice of the v0.3 polish wave. Addresses the owner's "không đã" feedback (full diagnosis at docs/research/09-polish-audit.md).

This release ships visible chrome only — scrollback search, command palette, and hotkey window land in later slices.

What changed

  • Vibrancy. Workspace wrapped in NSVisualEffectView (.underWindowBackground, .behindWindow). The window now blends with whatever sits behind it instead of reading as a flat hex rectangle.
  • Content padding. 6 px inset between the libghostty Metal surface and the pane chrome. No more text-flush-against-edge cheap feel.
  • Tab inactive opacity. Non-active, non-hovered tabs fade to 62%. Active tab reads as the focus point.
  • Right-click context menu on the terminal — Copy / Paste / Select All. Only fires when libghostty isn't claiming the click (vim mouse mode still wins).
  • Spring tab transitions replacing the old linear .easeOut.
