v0.1.11

Two silent data-loss bugs, both worth knowing about

• Alt+w on the last pane threw that pane away. Its own prompt calls it "quit roost", but it removed the pane and then quit — so the saved workspace named a pane its map no longer had, and the repair minted a blank shell spec on next launch. The session id, cwd, title and note of the pane you quit on were gone. Alt+q on the same pane kept all of them. (#147)
• A recycled pane id inherited a dead pane's session-detection clock, so a new pane could scan hours back and resume a stranger's conversation, permanently. (#141)

Desktop notifications changed channel — read this if you use Apple Terminal or Alacritty

roost used to fork osascript, which macOS attributes to Script Editor — there is no flag for that; a CLI cannot post a notification under its own name. roost now asks the terminal instead, with a bell and an OSC 9. Ghostty, iTerm2, WezTerm and kitty raise a real notification from it, attributed to themselves, and it survives ssh.

A terminal that ignores OSC 9 — Apple Terminal, Alacritty — now gets only the bell, not a desktop banner. (#152)

And a pane's notification no longer arrives twice. There were two emitters; that was invisible as a duplicate only while one of them was the osascript fork. The named one won, so: one banner, saying which pane, and silence for the pane you are already looking at. (#153)

Idle cost, measured against v0.1.10 on one machine

	idle CPU	terminal traffic
v0.1.10	2.20% / 3.48%	~890 B/s
v0.1.11	0.36% / 0.28%	~61 B/s

Four shell panes at 200×50, no input, alternating runs to cancel drift. Flat in the pane count at every step, because it was all fixed per-frame chrome: the quick-launch picker's $PATH probe running ~1,500 stat(2) a second with no dialog on screen, plus the whole help table, on every frame (#144); an unconditional 30 fps repaint (#146); and 12 fps even with nothing animating (#149).

Under the hood

Three new fuzzers over input surfaces nothing reached before — the mouse router, the key router, and paste (#147, #148). The mouse one found the Alt+w bug on seed 15. rustfmt and clippy are now enforced in CI (#150), tuned to the style the tree already had rather than imposed; that turned up ten unsafe blocks missing the SAFETY: comment every other one in the tree has.
