`shift_enter_unavailable` kept its own list of brands and missed every other reason the Kitty keyboard protocol gets skipped: JetBrains, screen, tmux below 3.3 and tmux with `extended-keys off` all swallow it, yet the prompt still advertised Shift+Enter there. It now reads `kitty_skip_reason` directly. Two skips deliver the modifier another way and stay available: Apple Terminal, where `route_enter` polls CoreGraphics, and Windows Terminal, where the console key record carries SHIFT — a bare ConHost, only optimistically refined to Windows Terminal, keeps advertising Alt+Enter. The old list also carried a `VTE_VERSION >= 8200` cutoff, citing VTE 0.82.0 as the first release with the protocol. It is not: at tag 0.82.0 the string "kitty" appears nowhere in `src/parser-seq.py`, `src/vte.cc` or `src/widget.cc`, and `_vte_keymap_GDK_Return` encodes only Alt (`ESC CR`), so Shift+Enter leaves a VTE terminal as the same bare CR as Enter. Every VTE now advertises Alt+Enter, and `/terminal-setup` stops telling GNOME Terminal users to upgrade to a version that would not help. It also stops advertising Alt+Enter to WezTerm, which binds that chord to ToggleFullScreen.

Key Concepts
- AppView — owns the welcome screen, agent sessions, and global config
- AgentView — one per session; owns the prompt, scrollback, tool panes, and modals
- PromptWidget — text editor component with file search (
@), slash commands (/), history search, and paste elements - Action/Effect — Elm-style architecture: input → Action → dispatch → Effect → state update
