Upstream sync (264 commits from ghostty-org/ghostty main, through e1d31deaa) plus a large macOS-parity feature batch, hardened by an adversarial review pass.
Highlights
Fixed
- CJK IME input works again — Chinese/Japanese/Korean composition was completely broken (the IME never received its keys); the composition now also renders inline at the cursor with the candidate window anchored to it.
- Clipboard security guards were silently bypassed — paste-protection and OSC 52 read/write authorization now actually prompt.
- AltGr layouts (German/Polish/…) no longer corrupt input into control sequences.
- Whole-window close (X button / Alt+F4) confirms when processes are still running.
- libghostty-vt: double/triple-click selection timing fixed on Windows.
Added
- Taskbar progress for OSC 9;4 progress reports
- Right-click context menu on the terminal
- Command-finished notifications (bell and/or toast, config-gated), click-to-focus notifications
window-theme(dark/light/system) for the title bar;background-bluracrylic- Global hotkeys for any
