This replaces the `std.heap.MemoryPool` used for page buffers with a
custom pool called `UntouchedPool`. This keeps its free list in a side
array and never reads/writes items until `create()`. This means that
demand-driven allocations (like mmaped pages) don't incur physical costs
until they're actually used.
The standard `std.heap.MemoryPool` uses an intrusive linked list for its
items which causes every item to be touched, which forces a full page-in
of memory.
It turns out we also had a lot of assertions and logic to work around
this in various ways (size of rows, asserting we overwrite the free list
entry, etc.) that we can now remove because of this.
For an 80x24 terminal on macOS (16 KB pages):
| Per terminal | Before | After |
|------------------------------|----------|----------|
| Page-list memory dirty | 128 KiB | 48 KiB |
| Process phys_footprint delta | 143 KiB | 62 KiB |
| Page-list virtual size | 2208 KiB | 1600 KiB |
The remaining 48 KB is the active page, because we sprinkle metadata
around the page which forces every page to be paged in. I'm going to
follow this up with some work trying to move all our metadata to the
front of the page so we only page one in until the rest is needed, but
not sure if its achievable.
Micro-benchmarks on the pool show that its twice the speed (slower) to
create/free due to the side list, but in an actual `+terminal-stream`
benchmark churning through pages, there is no measurable difference. I
think its a good trade.

This fixes a regression of 9a6469743 introduced in 6e8ed4e8b.
With this fix the mouse pointer will be restored to the previous (which
could have be set to something else via OSC22), not a hardcoded .text or
.default.
It also will change the cursor to a text selection if shift is held even
without mouse tracking, I think this is the expected behavior when a
cursor is set via OSC22. (Kitty additionaly, once you start selecting
changes to text (I-beam), this would be a follow-up if we desire to
behave like kitty with OSC22 pointers).
keyToMouseShape was initially designed with more of a transition table
model in mind to handle key presses/overrides based on very specific
cursor states. This never materialized, so I think it's safe to just
simply the process of handling overrides and/or passing along the
current cursor state from the terminal in the event of key presses.
Also removed a test that is essentially a duplicate of one before it now
(returning current surface shape in the event of no overrides).
I think this is the expected behavoir when a custom OSC22 pointer is set. Once
shift is released it will return to mouse_shape (whatever the pointer
was before shit held).
Fixes the runaway-thread bug reported in #14100 (vouched there).
`openThread` drains the spawned opener's stderr with
`takeDelimiterExclusive('\n')`. That function tosses only the exclusive
length, so the `'\n'` is never consumed. Once the child writes one line
to stderr, every subsequent call returns an empty slice without
advancing the stream: the `while (true)` loop spins forever — one pinned
core per affected `open()`, logging empty `os-open: open stderr=`
warnings at tens of thousands of messages per second for the lifetime of
the process — and `exe.wait()` is never reached, so the child is never
reaped.
This change reads inclusively (`takeDelimiterInclusive`, which does
consume the delimiter) and trims the `'\n'` for logging.
Observed in the wild embedding libghostty on macOS: several days of
uptime accumulated six leaked opener threads at ~70% of a core each
(~4.4 cores), from six link clicks whose `/usr/bin/open` wrote to
stderr. After the fix, the same workload shows zero `os-open` log
traffic and no leaked threads.
Repro without the fix: open a link whose handler writes to stderr (e.g.
an OSC 8 link with an unknown scheme), then watch a core pin and `log
stream --predicate 'subsystem == "com.mitchellh.ghostty"'` flood.
**AI disclosure** (per `AI_POLICY.md`): the bug was diagnosed and this
patch drafted with Claude Code (thread sampling, log analysis, and
reading the Zig 0.16 `std.Io.Reader` source to confirm
`takeDelimiterExclusive`/`takeDelimiterInclusive` toss semantics). I
reviewed the analysis and the change, understand both, and verified the
fix in a production build of the embedding app.
takeDelimiterExclusive never consumes the delimiter: it tosses only the
exclusive length, so the '\n' stays buffered. Once the spawned opener
writes a single line to stderr, every subsequent call returns an empty
slice without advancing the stream, and openThread's loop spins forever
- one pinned core per affected open(), logging empty
"open stderr=" warnings at tens of thousands of messages per second for
the lifetime of the process. The thread also never reaches exe.wait(),
so the child is never reaped.
Read inclusively instead (which does consume the delimiter) and trim
the '\n' for logging.
Repro: open a link whose handler writes to stderr, e.g. an OSC 8 link
with an unknown scheme; watch a core disappear and the unified log
flood with "os-open: open stderr=".
See discussion #14100.
A search that had already exhausted a screen's PageList never picked up
history pages prepended afterwards by incremental snapshot restore.
The lower level PageListSearch and so on could already handle this, we
just needed to let it know that more history existed to search. This
fixes that.

Found another regression when investigating #14107 after the last fix.
This regression appears on macOS 15 and 26 as well: **New window by
Shortcuts.app or service menu while a window is visible would create a
tab**.
It appears that for `new-window` triggered by Shortcuts/Service, a small
delay is needed to avoid automatic tabbing. It's either removing
`NSWindow.userTabbingPreference == .always` completely or adding another
"delay" for cascading. The latter should be better.
Also fixes another cascading for `macos-titlebar-style = hidden`
previously missed.
https://github.com/rcaloras/bash-preexec/releases/tag/0.7.0
We only source bash-preexec for bash < 4.4, so most of this release is
inert for us: the PS0 function-substitution hook (bash >= 5.3) and the
array PROMPT_COMMAND handling (bash >= 5.1) are never reached. What we
do pick up is the simpler install string, per-prompt re-adjustment of
PROMPT_COMMAND when something else modifies it, preservation of $? and
$_ on early returns, and the first-command preexec fix.
We continue to carry one local modification: __bp_adjust_histcontrol
stays disabled in the DEBUG trap hook so the user's HISTCONTROL is
respected (#2269). The original justification was that we didn't use the
preexec command argument, which is no longer true because we use it for
the window title. The comment now explains the current reasoning: our
bash >= 4.4 integration also uses `history 1` without adjusting
HISTCONTROL and accepts the same inaccuracy for space-prefixed commands,
so the legacy path is kept consistent with it.
*AI Usage:* I asked Fable 5.1 to run a verification pass after my manual
upgrade, and it confirmed the expected behavior.

This updates our own bundled fontconfig (for static builds) to 2.18.3.
Note that fontconfig has changed their build process a bit since this
has been updated last; they are leaning on the Autoconf (and Meson as
they are now deprecating use of Autoconf) toolchain(s) to now generate a
number of headers that are a part of the build process.
Since servicing this dependency in an effort to keep the build pure Zig
is starting to get more complex, I've added some documentation on how to
actually get a snapshot of the fontconfig repository in a state where
files can be looked for and copied over as needed. Otherwise, we might
want to in the future consider removing this altogether and just rely on
system integrations.

## Summary
- Adds Serbian translations for both Cyrillic (`sr`) and Latin
(`sr@latin`) scripts, registered in `src/os/i18n_locales.zig` and
`CODEOWNERS`.
- `po/sr@latin.po` is generated from `po/sr.po` with `msgfilter
recode-sr-latin` and should not be translated by hand.
- Replaces the closed#13030; strings are rebased onto current `main`.
Cc @slowdub for a review.
EDIT: AI disclosure: I used Cursor (Grok 4.6) for mechanical repo work
only, not for writing the Serbian translations. The agent fetched
ghostty-org/ghostty, branched from current main, ran msgmerge on
po/sr.po against the template, generated po/sr@latin.po with msgfilter
recode-sr-latin, registered sr / sr@latin in src/os/i18n_locales.zig and
CODEOWNERS, rebased my three commits onto later main, pushed the branch,
and opened this PR (I had intended to open the PR myself, s***** thing
ignored my instructions). I translated and reviewed sr.po and the Latin
file is a recode of that catalog, not a separate translation since
Serbian Cyrillic can be perfectly transcoded to the Latin script via
[recode-sr-latin](https://linux.die.net/man/1/recode-sr-latin).
This exposes the terminal search API through libghostty C and Zig APIs.
This was previously available through the Zig APIs but forced our
threading model. I've now extracted the full terminal search state to a
new `terminal.search.TerminalSearch` structure so threading isn't
forced. The C API is completely new.
## Example (C)
```c
GhosttySearch search;
ghostty_search_new(NULL, &search, terminal);
GhosttyString needle = { (const uint8_t *)"error", 5 };
ghostty_search_set(search, GHOSTTY_SEARCH_OPT_NEEDLE, &needle);
ghostty_search_run(search);
// Find bar chrome: "k of n"
size_t total, idx;
ghostty_search_get(search, GHOSTTY_SEARCH_DATA_TOTAL_MATCHES, &total);
// Enter: select the next match (wraps, scrolls the viewport if needed)
ghostty_search_set(search, GHOSTTY_SEARCH_OPT_SELECT_NEXT, NULL);
ghostty_search_get(search, GHOSTTY_SEARCH_DATA_SELECTED_INDEX, &idx);
ghostty_search_free(search);
```
