Comment on Design and Implementation of Sprites

Comments

Not sure where to report this, so here goes: something weird's going on with the title setters (from default .bashrc, the 'case' block near the top) when connecting from my Linux box.

Tried with xterm, tilix and ghostty, all of which support the title setter escape sequence locally. For some reason, these get messed up (smells like edge case with escaping) and the result looks like this:

    $ sprite c  ": history-search-backward'
    \]\u@\h\[\]:\[\]\w\[\]\$ '                           ": history-search-forward'sprite@sprite:~$
    "sprite@sprite:~$
I'm guessing y'all use Zsh because that works flawlessly :)

Shell environments are by far the most difficult part of building a stateful sandbox with checkpoints and restores. It's bananas. This will be fixed soon.
