@rands for your `claude` wrapper, you might want to do your title restoration in a `trap` handler so that it still runs even if the wrapped process fails.
trap "printf '\033]0;%s\007' \"${PWD##*/}\"" RETURN
From empty repo to a functional minimal standalone terminal based on libghostty in less than 2 hours, presenting Ghostling! ~600 lines of C and you get extremely accurate, performant, and proven terminal emulation. Every program on earth that needs any subset of terminal functionality and can now easily get it.

During production of Finding Nemo, we started using Linux boxes in addition to SGIs.
Why?
3D painting software we wrote for laying out coral was written in C++ using templates, and the debug info was too large for IRIX, but was debuggable on Linux.
Was this a 32 bit vs. 64 bit issue?
No.
IRIX reserved half the address space for the kernel, while Linux only did a quarter.
So on Linux, we had 3GB, and the symbols fit.
It was a 32 bit show, both machines had 4GB max.
Plenty for Finding Nemo.
Great video. Watch it!
