Small release answering one member question forever: why does the browser look like text?

  • The pane tells you its lane — a dim row under the bar now says exactly why you're seeing text: terminal-browser not on PATH (with the install pointer), terminal not kitty-capable, or a kill-switch set. Premium lane shows no hint. Resolved once at pane creation, zero per-frame probing.
  • The installer offers terminal-browser — a new optional stage downloads the zenbu bundle (darwin/linux, arm64 + x64), installs it intact into ~/.local/share/terminal-browser with an exec shim on PATH, verifies --version, and can never abort the install. --skip-terminal-browser to opt out; --uninstall removes bundle + shim.

kitty/ghostty + this release = the browser tab embeds the real browser automatically.
