- ScreenSearch has to restart on resize. We don't have any good way to
handle reflow since our search results are unpinned. We can look into
this later but this fixes correctness.
- PageList now tracks serial number by node that monotonically increases
on any alloc or reuse. Our screen search uses this to prune invalid
history results.
When pasting text in GTK, the current version properly prioritizes
text/plain;charset=utf-8 when the content is offered by another
application, but when pasting from ghostty to itself the mime type
selection algorithm prefers the offer order and matches `text/plain`,
which then converts non-ASCII UTF-8 into a bunch of escaped hex
characters (e.g. 日本語 becomes \E6\97\A5\E6\9C\AC\E8\AA\9E)
This is being discussed on the GTK side[1], but until everyone gets an
updated GTK it cannot hurt to offer the UTF-8 variant first (and one of
the GTK dev claims it actually is a bug not to do it, but the wayland
spec is not clear about it, so other clients could behave similarly)

These now properly match the FreeType API- compared directly in the unit
tests against the values provided by the FreeType header itself.
This was ridiculously wrong before, like... wow.
## Summary
Adds a new environment variable `GHOSTTY_QUICK_TERMINAL=1` that is set
when a terminal surface is launched as a quick terminal. This allows
shell configurations to conditionally adjust behavior based on whether
the terminal is a quick terminal.
Closes#3985

## Motivation
Quick terminals are designed as ephemeral, singleton windows for quick
commands. Many users (especially tmux users) have shell configurations
that automatically attach to or start tmux sessions on terminal launch.
This automatic behavior conflicts with the quick terminal use case.
Example from the issue:
```zsh
# Users want to skip this in quick terminals
if [[ -z "$TMUX" ]]; then
tmux attach || tmux new
fi
With this PR, users can now detect quick terminals and adjust their shell behavior:
if [[ -z "$TMUX" ]] && [[ -z "$GHOSTTY_QUICK_TERMINAL" ]]; then
tmux attach || tmux new
fi
```
## Implementation
- macOS: Added GHOSTTY_QUICK_TERMINAL=1 to SurfaceConfiguration
environment variables in QuickTerminalController.swift:345-351
- Linux/GTK: Added environment variable check in
src/apprt/gtk/class/surface.zig:1469-1472 within defaultTermioEnv()
The environment variable is automatically inherited by split surfaces.
## Note on Scripting API
I'm aware that @rhodes-b mentioned this functionality was planned for
the scripting API (issue #3985). However, I believe this simpler
environment variable approach provides immediate value for tmux users
and shell configuration use cases, while the scripting API can later
provide more comprehensive surface introspection capabilities.
## AI Assistance Disclosure
This PR was written with Claude Code assistance. The Linux/GTK
implementation was fully AI-generated. I implemented the mac version
myself after Claude Code helped me understand the codebase architecture
and locate the appropriate files.
This makes `cursorStyle` utilize `RenderState` to determine the
appropriate cursor style. This moves the cursor style logic outside the
critical area, although it was cheap to begin with.
This always removes `viewport_is_bottom` which had no practical use.
