During one of the macOS updates (26.2?), Apple somehow introduced an ObjC exception that sometimes triggers when a new tab is created while in the tab overview. Swift CANNOT CATCH ObjC exceptions. Instant crash. This affected Ghostty as well as Electron (unrelated project).

The fix is equally crazy: write an ObjC wrapper around the crashy-function, catch it, and basically retry periodically. This is 100% an Apple bug, but the way it manifests and the fix required to workaround it is pretty gnarly.

Credit to everyone but me, I didn't do any research here, I only read the good work by others on this one (all visible in the refs).

macOS: fix crash when adding tab from tab overview (#11009) · ghostty-org/ghostty@8b1e4c6

(moved from #11008) I have this branch up to fix #10252. It was written with AI (in Cursor), but only after I made sure I thoroughly understood what was happening (almost to an excessive extent). ...

@andrewrk At work we recently had a lot of chit chat about some heating stock taxation details. The amount of IANAL disclaimers was over 9000 😫 I wonder whether it is a real legal risk mitigation of just an observed behavior repeated to the extreme 😅

@johanpeitz Am not sure if what I say makes sense (never used picoCAD before), but I wondered about using it for my next game, first tiny one in 3D, and you made me realize I would be limited to a specific color palette. Therefore my vote goes for custom ones :) (I usually pick some from @lospec )

AI agent "contributes" PR to matplotlib.
PR gets rejected.
AI agent *writes and publishes blog to shame the maintainer*.

What a time to be alive.
