## Summary
Cmd-clicking a file path containing `~` (e.g. `~/Documents/file.txt`)
fails to open the file on macOS because `URL(filePath:)` treats `~` as a
literal directory name rather than the user's home directory.
This uses `NSString.expandingTildeInPath` to resolve `~` before
constructing the file URL.
## Root Cause
In `openURL()`, when the URL string has no scheme it falls through to:
```swift
url = URL(filePath: action.url)
```
Swift's `URL(filePath:)` does not perform tilde expansion. A path like
`~/Documents/file.txt` produces a URL pointing to a non-existent file,
and `NSWorkspace.open` silently fails.
## Fix
```swift
let expandedPath = NSString(string: action.url).expandingTildeInPath
url = URL(filePath: expandedPath)
```
## Reproduction
1. Have a terminal application (e.g. Claude Code) that outputs file
paths with `~` prefixes
2. Cmd-click the path in Ghostty on macOS
3. The file does not open (fails silently)
With this fix, the path resolves correctly and opens in the default
editor.
`URL(filePath:)` treats `~` as a literal directory name, so
cmd-clicking a path like `~/Documents/file.txt` would fail to
open because the resulting file URL doesn't point to a real file.
Use `NSString.expandingTildeInPath` to resolve `~` to the user's
home directory before constructing the file URL.

This rule is generally trying to be helpful, but it doesn't like a few
places in our code base where we're intentionally listing out all of the
well-known cases. Given that, just disable it.

Addresses discussion in #3729 and issues relating to #7333, #9590, and
#9617.
Rendering the Secure Keyboard Input overlay using innerShadow() can
strain the resources of the main thread, leading to elevated CPU load
and in some cases extended disruptions to the main thread's
DispatchQueue that result in lag or frozen frames. This change achieves
the same animated visual effect with ~35% lower CPU usage and resolves
most or all of the terminal rendering issues associated with the
overlay.

Switch to using the existing UTType.unixExecutable constant for this
operator, which also lets us remove a failure path. Also, use the
completion-based setDefaultApplication() variant to handle errors.
This simplifies the code enough that we don't need the additional
NSWorkspace+Ghostty extension functions.
We already had an established Ghostty.Shell namespace (previously a
struct; now a more idiomatic enum), and locating these functions next to
each other makes it clearer how they relate to one another.
## Summary
- Fixes#10345 — `copy_title_to_clipboard` now copies the user-set
custom title instead of the raw terminal title
- Adds a new `copy_title` apprt action as [suggested by
@mitchellh](https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/issues/10345#issuecomment-2601002974)
- Each platform (GTK + macOS) resolves the effective title (user
override → terminal title fallback) before copying to clipboard
## Changes
- **`src/apprt/action.zig`** — New `copy_title` void action
- **`include/ghostty.h`** — C ABI enum entry
- **`src/Surface.zig`** — Binding handler now dispatches apprt action
instead of inline logic
- **`src/apprt/gtk/class/surface.zig`** — `getEffectiveTitle()` helper
(returns `title_override orelse title`)
- **`src/apprt/gtk/class/application.zig`** — GTK action handler
- **`macos/.../Ghostty.App.swift`** — macOS handler using
`surfaceView.title` + `NSPasteboard`
*Note*: This PR was *AI* assisted.
When a user renames a surface via "Change Terminal Title" and then
uses copy_title_to_clipboard, the raw terminal title was copied
instead of the custom name.
This adds a new `copy_title` apprt action so each platform resolves
the effective title (user override or terminal-set) before copying
to clipboard.
Fixes#10345
When we're building an input string that's explicitly meant to be used
as a shell command, quote (escape) it using the same logic as Python's
shlex.quote function.
This specifically addresses issues we've seen when open(1)'ing Ghostty
with filename arguments that contain spaces.
