Have you looked into zmx? [0]
It doesn't have built-in notifications and there's no panel to see all the open sessions, but I wonder how hard that would be to add.
I've used zmx since I ran into it a few weeks ago. Uses libghostty as well. It's great because it allows me to replace tmux completely in all my ssh sessions, and can keep one session per assistant.
zmx solves persistence well, and I like their minimalism (not supporting windows, tabs, or splits). I think it's possible to make a CLI wrapper for zmx that adds notifications though, so you can have some niceties of cmux without switching to a new terminal. Lowkey we might explore this direction as well.
