Why every Ghostty tab said 'Claude Code' (and the 30-line zsh hook that fixed it)
The first is tab color via OSC sequences. iTerm2 has supported OSC 6 ; 1 ; bg ; ... for years. Ghostty doesn't yet (open issue #12235). The day it lands, the same case statement could drive tab color too: red for claude --dangerously-skip-permissions, blue for read-only mode. That's a useful safety signal you can read at a glance, faster than reading text.
