Fresh out the oven, still warm. Top of the tray.
Summary
Boo is a terminal multiplexer (similar to GNU Screen) built on top of libghostty, written in Zig. It parses every session's output through Ghostty's terminal emulation core, allowing it to always know the exact screen state (contents, styles, cursor, scrollback, terminal modes) of every session. This state is used to rehydrate the terminal on attach and answer terminal queries. The project is hosted on GitHub under coder/boo.
