Terminal Bus contract

Mirrored from apps/term/CHANGELOG.md, where releases update it. The component's page is term. This page describes the current main branch of MixOS.

0.4.0

The window is egui on wgpu, its grid drawn on the GPU by term-render. The terminal's own verbs (term.session, term.tabs, term.tab.*, term.panes, term.pane.*, term.snapshot, term.scroll, term.type, term.props.watch, INFO and HELP) are unchanged.

Added: term.commands and term.execute (every window action by command id), app.describe, the toolkit drive verbs (term.ui.*, term.window, term.window.state), and term.command.executed, published for every command run with how it was reached.

Alt is Meta: ESC before the key (readline's Alt+b/f/., Alt+Backspace, Alt+Enter), and Alt+cursor keys send xterm's CSI 1;3 sequences. Ctrl+[ and the other control punctuation send their control codes.

Program (OSC) titles now reach the tab strip without a term.props.watch watcher. Right Shift with Left/Right no longer changes tab: right-hand modifier chords are the person's own keys on MixOS.

0.3.5

Shared the native application bootstrap and task worker. PTY ownership and ordered teardown stay in the terminal. The native session contract is unchanged.

0.3.4

The terminal frontend and native session verbs entered the tree. The cross-process session constants and the child-only descriptor handoff keep their bytes.
