I’ve been a very happy user for 2025, with some edge cases around the terminal not working on remote shells. I haven’t seen any memory leaks, but wanted to say I appreciate this detailed response.

In my experience, the remote shell weirdness is usually because the remote shell doesn’t recognise ghostty’s TERM=xterm-ghostty value. Fixed by either copying over a terminfo with it in, or setting TERM=xterm-256color before ssh’ing: https://ghostty.org/docs/help/terminfo
