Show HN: Rmux – A programmable terminal multiplexer with a Playwright-style SDK
I built https://zmx.sh to make it easier to interact with your terminal sessions programmatically. 1 window = 1 session which might feel like a negative but it makes programmatic access easy and agents can use it just by pointing it at the zmx help command. Basically, an agent just needs 2 commands (run and write) for full control.
In particular you can have a local agent interact with a remote shell which is incredibly convenient.

The agent harness belongs outside the sandbox
Interesting idea. Tangentially related I’ve been using my local agent to interact with remote shells via https://zmx.sh
The use case is different but this article strikes some vague similarities of any API to remotely execute commands.

Show HN: Zmx – run local code agents on remote machines
Hello. I couldn't find a great way to interact with remote terminal sessions, especially ones that required multiple hops through SSH / containers so I adapted zmx to integrate with local code agents.

Ghostling
Interesting you mention tmux because it itself resembles a terminal emulator. It has its own terminal feature matrix that controls what your parent emulator can render. So I think we could argue that you do, in fact, need your terminal emulator to support tabs and splits.
It sounds like you could get away with using a tool like https://zmx.sh which only handles session persistence (attach/detach). It also uses libbghostty but only for state restoration on reattach.

Ghostty – Terminal Emulator
Add https://zmx.sh into the mix for detach/attach functionality. It uses libghostty for rehydrating session state and scrollback

Show HN: Ghostty-based terminal with vertical tabs and notifications
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.

Show HN: Dwm.tmux – a dwm-inspired window manager for tmux
Nice! Big fan of abduco. I wrote a similar tool but use libghostty for rehydrating the terminal session: https://zmx.sh
Works pretty well if you don’t need a window manager in your terminal
