Restructures external limitations in the tmux and Windows guides as
"Known issues" with a remedy for each entry.
- `tmux.md`: the tmux 3.6 color reply section becomes a Known issues
table (issue, affected versions, remedy).
- `windows.md`: the conhost problem table moves to a Known issues
section at the end of the page, with a Remedy column instead of the
cause column. The terminal table links to it. Issue links are reduced to
one per row.
Known issues are limited to things outside Pi's control or deliberate
limitations. Bugs Pi can fix stay in the issue tracker.
Adds a "Choose a terminal" section to
`packages/coding-agent/docs/windows.md`
(https://pi.dev/docs/latest/windows), with two tables (last updated
October 2026):
- Terminals and which conhost they use: Windows Terminal (recommended),
VS Code, WezTerm nightly (bundled, up to date); WezTerm 20240203
(bundled, old); Alacritty (built-in unless `conpty.dll` +
`OpenConsole.exe` are provided); classic console window, mintty,
ConEmu/Cmder, Windows OpenSSH (built-in).
- Known problems by conhost type:
- Built-in: crash when switching fullscreen -> regular or using `Ctrl+G`
from fullscreen (#9186, microsoft/terminal#17515).
- Built-in behind another terminal (mintty, OpenSSH): query replies leak
into the prompt, BEL opens the external editor (#10256, #10362, #10742).
- Old bundled (WezTerm 20240203): reply fragments in the prompt (#10717,
#10970).
- Built-in, classic console: reported regular-mode redraw issue (#6300).
- Notes that the fixes exist upstream and reach the built-in conhost
with a future Windows update, timing unknown.
Sources: VS Code defaults `terminal.integrated.windowsUseConptyDll` to
`true` (bundled conpty v1.25). Alacritty loads `conpty.dll` only if
present (`alacritty_terminal/src/tty/windows/conpty.rs`) and its
installer ships only `alacritty.exe`.
The crash was verified locally in the classic console window on conhost
10.0.26100.9807: fullscreen -> regular crashed 3/3 runs and `Ctrl+G`
from fullscreen crashed 2/2 runs (`0xC0000005`).
Entries of only +name/-name modify the inherited tool selection, so
"defaultTools": ["+codemode"] enables codemode without repeating the
defaults. Project entries layer on top of user settings. Document how to
enable codemode without MCP and how to use classifier models from it.
