ghostty-xterm-compat-serialize

Ghostty-backed xterm serialize compatibility tooling.

This repository has two responsibilities:

• crates/ghostty-xterm-compat-serialize — a reusable Rust crate that produces xterm-compatible serialize output from libghostty-vt terminal state
• tests/xterm-compat — a generic harness that compares the crate's output against real xterm serialize output

Dependency chain

• Ghostty C API additions live in jemdiggity/ghostty
• Rust wrapper/API changes live in jemdiggity/libghostty-rs
• This repo depends on libghostty-vt from that fork

Quick start

cargo test
node --test tests/xterm-compat/node-runner/reference-runner.test.mjs
node --test tests/xterm-compat/compare/compare.test.mjs

To use a local Ghostty checkout instead of the pinned fork commit:

export GHOSTTY_SOURCE_DIR=/path/to/ghostty

TODO

• Add CI for Rust and Node compatibility checks
• Publish crate-level API docs with usage examples
• Test-drive Kanna integration against real reconnect flows
