gpty v0.5.2
v0.5.2 is the Agent State & Adapters release: terminals can now report what an agent is doing through authenticated events, a published OSC declaration, or plain heuristics; and the titlebar shows it at a glance. The event channel speaks an adapter-neutral vocabulary on every platform, and Inspector gains a generic CLI backend so any agent CLI can answer questions.
Agent-state badges. Every terminal titlebar now carries a small status badge: a spinner while an agent turn is in flight, a check when it settles, a warning on failure, and a pulsing amber warning when it needs attention. The state is a display projection — it never feeds decisions.
Tiered detection. Behind the badge sits a three-tier AgentState model. Tier 1 — capability-authenticated events from the agent’s own extension (authoritative). Tier 2 — the published gpty_state=<value> OSC declaration: any program can declare its state with a single escape sequence, strictly whitelisted and rate-limited. Tier 3 — conservative heuristics (test-failure patterns, non-zero shell exits) with a 60-second decay. gpty pane-status reports the state and which tier set it.
A generic event vocabulary. The event socket now translates adapter-specific wire names into one neutral contract (agent.started, turn.started, tool.call, thinking.delta, …) at the trust boundary. Reasoning consumes the generic names, and future adapters speak them from day one. The listener also serves Windows named pipes — per-terminal GPTY_EVENT_* injection happens on every platform.
A CLI backend for Inspector. Inspector’s backend picker gains cli: configure any adapter command (argv, never shell-evaluated) that speaks a minimal NDJSON contract — one request line per prompt in, thinking/delta/done/error frames out. Cancelling kills the child cleanly; the next prompt respawns it. Adapters use only each CLI’s documented hooks — never tokens, never TUI scraping.
Settings fixes. Per-tab reset buttons, per-color resets, OK/Cancel on color pickers, live-applied UI colors, and a settings panel whose six tabs always fit. Under the hood: the pane-settings popup no longer goes dead after its pane is closed, and restarted terminals no longer grow piles of old prompt lines (a bare carriage return used to commit a history row on every shell redraw).
