T14: paths stay git's bytes until shown, so a name not in UTF-8 names its own file in status, stage, unstage and diff, and Files keys and opens each name by its bytes too; a copy is a new file whose source no unstage or diff touches; diffs run no text converter; an untracked diff git prints despite a warning stands, the warning logged, while a missing file still fails; a conflict diffs against HEAD, so a file we deleted reads as new; AGENTS.md says Files reads porcelain v2

 - 2026-10-14: the program hears focus in and out under mode 1004 when the terminal's focus or the window's activation changes. The window wears the program's title, the app's name while it names none. A bell is logged and makes no sound. A full reset, `ESC c`, empties alacritty's title and sends only `CursorBlinkingChange`, in the parser's order, synchronized updates too; on that event the view replays the title through `set_options`, which sends it.
 - 2026-10-14: the title bar is transparent, as Ghostty's: the content runs under it, Ely's column headers drag the window, and the terminal's header shows the program's title. macOS draws its traffic lights at Ely's origin; elsewhere Ely draws the controls, so windows ask for client decorations, which only Linux reads, and Ely's `ResizeBorder` gives the edges. Cmd-B and Cmd-Alt-B (Ctrl-Shift-B and Ctrl-Shift-Alt-B off macOS) toggle the sessions and right columns, kept in the settings.
 - 2026-10-14: session keys are Ghostty's: Cmd-T, Cmd-W, Cmd-1 to Cmd-8, Cmd-9 for the last, Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab; off macOS Ctrl-Shift-T, Ctrl-Shift-W and Alt with the digits. A digit past the last session goes on to the program. A new session runs the Shell setting in home or in the shown session's folder, as Start in says. A session whose program ends closes its row; the last row closes the window, and with no window left the app quits. A bell in a hidden session marks its row until it is shown. A hidden terminal hears no mouse release, so hiding it ends its mouse gesture as releases would: the selection drag ends, and the program hears each held button come up. A row's title is the program's, or the app's name while it names none.
-- 2026-10-14: Files shows the shown session's folder in Ely's `Tree`, not `FileTree`, which takes every path up front and drops empty folders. A folder is read off the main thread when it first opens; the root and the open folders are read again whenever the session reports a folder, so at each prompt. Git's marks come from `git status --porcelain=v1 -z -- .`, run with `--no-optional-locks`, so it never holds `index.lock` against the user's own git, and under the user's `status.showUntrackedFiles`, so a home folder kept in git stays quick. An untracked folder marks what it holds. On macOS, whose file systems ignore Unicode forms, a name keeps its form on disk and meets Git's mark in composed form, as git's `core.precomposeunicode` writes it. A label built from a path shows each control character as its picture, `␊` for a newline: gpui shapes no newline, and a file may be named with one. A program without shell integration gets a line in the right column until it reports a folder. A control in a column header keeps its presses: Ely's header zooms the window on any double press.
-- 2026-10-14: git runs in English with `--literal-pathspecs` and without optional locks. Status reads porcelain v2. Paths to stage and unstage go in on stdin, NUL-ended (`--pathspec-from-file`), so any name and any count pass; an empty list is refused, since git would take it as the whole tree. Unstaging is `git reset`, which works before the first commit, and a staged rename unstages with its old path. A diff is git's own, without external tools, a conflict against our side, read into Ely's stretches; a binary file has none, and an untracked folder none either. The log needs a commit at HEAD: git refuses it before the first.

Paths stay git's bytes until shown, so a name not in UTF-8 still names its own file; off Unix git writes UTF-8. Status reads porcelain v2. Paths to stage and unstage go in on stdin, NUL-ended (`--pathspec-from-file`), so any name and any count pass; an empty list is refused, since git would take it as the whole tree. Unstaging is `git reset`, which works before the first commit, and a staged rename unstages with its old path; a copy is a new file, its source no part of it. A diff is git's own, without external tools or text converters, a conflict against HEAD, our side, so a file we deleted reads as new; it is read into Ely's stretches; a binary file has none, and an untracked folder none either. Without an index git exits 1 for a difference and a failure alike; only a difference prints. What git warns of while it works goes to the log. The log needs a commit at HEAD: git refuses it before the first.
