Subject: [PATCH 01/70] Prototype: hand ctrl-r to fzf/atuin history search
 (CORE-3807)

At an idle prompt, ctrl-r hands off to the shell's own external ctrl-r
history widget (fzf or atuin) instead of opening Warp's command search,
when bootstrap detects the shell has rebound ^R away from its default
reverse-history-search widget.

- zsh bootstrap generically detects a rebound ^R widget (not an
  fzf/atuin allowlist) and reports it via a new external_ctrl_r_history
  shell_plugins tag. A bootstrap-installed helper re-runs the detected
  tool's own picker command and reports the selection via a new
  ExternalCtrlRSelection DCS hook.
- The client runs that helper through the normal command-execution path
  when the tag is present at an idle prompt, reusing the existing
  long-running-command machinery to hide the input editor and forward
  keystrokes to the picker's PTY-driven UI.
- The selected command (or the prior buffer, on cancel) is restored into
  the input editor without executing, reusing the same buffer-restore
  path already used for prompt-chip commands like cd.
- Gated behind a new FzfCtrlRHandoff feature flag (in DOGFOOD_FLAGS).

Subject: [PATCH 02/70] Address review findings: narrow ctrl-r widget
 detection, verify handoff token, redact selection text, hide synthetic helper
 block

- zsh_body.sh: narrow ctrl-r widget detection to exactly the tools
  warp_run_external_ctrl_r_widget can invoke (fzf/atuin), so an
  unsupported rebound widget falls through to Warp's normal command
  search instead of being tagged as invocable. Echo the handoff token
  back in the ExternalCtrlRSelection hook.
- input.rs: require the ExternalCtrlRSelection hook's session_id and
  token to match an in-flight handoff before applying it, so an
  unsolicited or stale write to the pty can't alter the input editor.
  Hide the synthetic helper command's block once it completes so it
  doesn't clutter scrollback.
- blocks.rs: add BlockList::hide_block, which hides a block and
  refreshes the block-heights sumtree so a completed (non-active)
  block's height update takes effect immediately.
- event.rs / dcs_hooks.rs: redact the selected command text from
  Debug output in two places (Event::ExternalCtrlRSelection and
  ExternalCtrlRSelectionValue) so it can't leak into debug logs.

Subject: [PATCH 03/70] Add bash support for ctrl-r external history handoff
 (fzf) and fix shell_plugins reporting

- Detect ctrl-r rebound to fzf's __fzf_history__ via bind -X and tag
  external_ctrl_r_history in shell_plugins, matching the pattern already
  used for zsh. atuin is intentionally not supported for bash: its
  integration binds ctrl-r indirectly through intermediate key sequences
  and depends on the readline widget-chain machinery, so it can't be
  invoked standalone the way __fzf_history__ can.
- Add warp_run_external_ctrl_r_widget for bash, mirroring the zsh helper.
- Fix a pre-existing bug where shell_plugins was computed but never
  actually included in bash's primary (non-MSYS2) Bootstrapped JSON
  payload, and where the bash array was collapsed to its first element
  instead of being joined into the newline-separated list the client
  expects.

Subject: [PATCH 04/70] Fix hide_block to actually trigger a re-draw

update_blocks_and_sumtree doesn't send a wakeup event itself (its other
callers are driven by a GPUI context that already notifies the right
view), so the synthetic ctrl-r helper block stayed visible after
completion despite its height being zeroed in the sumtree. Add the
same explicit send_wakeup_event() call unhide_block uses.

Verified with computer use: the helper block no longer appears in
scrollback after either cancelling or selecting a history entry.

Subject: [PATCH 05/70] Fix atuin ctrl-r invocation for zsh and add atuin
 support for bash

zsh: atuin's own zsh integration swaps stdout/stderr through fd 3
before invoking 'atuin search -i', because atuin writes its TUI to
stdout and its cursor-position query has nothing to answer it under
plain command substitution (stdout is a pipe), causing it to bail
during startup with a blank list. The bare invocation previously used
here hit exactly that failure. Also strip the '__atuin_accept__:'
prefix atuin uses to signal that enter_accept fired, since we only
ever want the selection, never to run it.

bash: apply the same fd-3 fix, invoking 'atuin search' directly rather
than atuin's own key-binding machinery. Detection needed a different
approach than fzf's: atuin's bash integration binds ctrl-r through an
intermediate key sequence and a widget-index dispatcher rather than a
direct 'bind -x' on ctrl-r itself, so it doesn't show up in the 'bind
-X' scan used for fzf. Detect it instead via atuin's own signal for
whether it bound ctrl-r () plus confirming its
integration is loaded. This doesn't affect invocation, which bypasses
atuin's key-binding machinery entirely either way.

Subject: [PATCH 06/70] Spike: fish shell_plugins plumbing + external ctrl-r
 detection/helper (CORE-3807)

Adds to the fish bootstrap the pieces fish needs for the ctrl-r handoff:

- warp_external_ctrl_r_widget: generic detection of a rebound ^R via `bind \cr`,
  treating any non---preset binding as a user/plugin rebinding.
- shell_plugins in the Bootstrapped hook, newline-separated like bash/zsh, carrying
  the external_ctrl_r_history tag. The client already parses this field for every
  shell, so no client change is needed.
- warp_run_external_ctrl_r_widget: runs fzf's or atuin's picker as a plain foreground
  command and reports the selection over the ExternalCtrlRSelection DCS hook, never
  touching fish's `commandline` line buffer.

Subject: [PATCH 07/70] Fix ctrl-r widget detection to use exact allowlist and
 live bash binding

Third finding: detection matched any ctrl-r binding whose widget/command name
merely contained "fzf" or "atuin" (zsh/bash/fish). An RC can legitimately bind
ctrl-r to an unrelated fzf/atuin-flavored widget that isn't the history search
we know how to invoke, which would hijack that binding and lose Warp's own
command search too. Replace substring matching with an exact allowlist of each
integration's canonical widget/function name in all three shells' detection
and invocation dispatch.

Fourth finding: bash's atuin detection relied on $__atuin_bind_ctrl_r, a flag
set once during atuin's own init that a later `bind` in the RC can leave
stale. Read the live `bind -X` binding for ctrl-r instead, matching only the
exact __fzf_history__/__atuin_history function names. Newer atuin bash
versions bind ctrl-r through an indirect widget-index dispatcher that isn't
reliably distinguishable from an arbitrary user macro via bind -X alone; per
the reviewer's explicit guidance we decline the handoff in that case (biasing
to false negatives) rather than risk hijacking a rebound key.

Also propagate the ctrl-r helper's history-exclusion (already present for
zsh) to bash (HISTIGNORE) and fish (a composing fish_should_add_to_history
wrapper), so the synthetic handoff invocation doesn't pollute the very
history list this feature searches on the next ctrl-r.

Subject: [PATCH 08/70] Fix fish ctrl-r history wrapper: reject-all bug and
 re-source recursion

The fish_should_add_to_history wrapper had two bugs, both stemming from
treating "no backup exists" as a state to handle at call time instead of
establishing the invariant at install time:

1. When no user-defined fish_should_add_to_history existed (the common case),
   warp_original_fish_should_add_to_history was never created, so the
   fallback branch's `functions -q warp_original...; and warp_original...`
   evaluated to false for every command. Fish treats a nonzero return as
   reject, so this silently disabled fish history recording entirely.

2. Re-sourcing this bootstrap script in the same fish process (shell reload,
   or a nested fish subshell) backed up whatever fish_should_add_to_history
   currently was -- on a second run, that's already our own wrapper, not the
   user's original -- into warp_original_fish_should_add_to_history, making
   every history check call itself and hit fish's call stack limit.

Fix: always establish warp_original_fish_should_add_to_history exactly once,
before installing the wrapper, as either the user's real original function or
an explicit accept-everything default. The wrapper then unconditionally
delegates to it, with no call-time branching on whether a backup exists.

Added regression tests (bootstrap_tests.rs) that extract the real installer
snippet from fish.sh and run it against a live fish process, sourced twice
(simulating re-sourcing), both with and without a pre-existing user hook.
Each test asserts a positive control (an ordinary command is still accepted)
alongside the negative one (the ctrl-r helper invocation is rejected), so a
test can't pass merely because everything is being rejected.

Subject: [PATCH 09/70] Fix fish history wrapper: preserve a hook installed
 between two sourcings

Third ordering the reviewer found: source #1 with no user hook installs the
accept-everything default backup; a user or plugin then defines
fish_should_add_to_history; source #2 saw a backup already existed and left
it alone, silently discarding the intervening hook.

Install-time rule that now covers all three orders (no hook, hook before,
hook between): on every sourcing, if the current fish_should_add_to_history
is not recognizably our own wrapper (identified by the
warp_run_external_ctrl_r_widget sentinel in its body), capture it as the
backup -- replacing whatever backup existed, including an earlier
accept-everything default -- so the backup always reflects the latest real
hook. Only when the current function already is our wrapper (i.e. an
unmodified re-source) is the existing backup left alone, which is what keeps
the recursion path from the previous fix closed. functions -c refuses to
overwrite an existing destination, so the previous backup is erased first.

Added a third regression test for this exact ordering (hook installed
between two sourcings), alongside the existing no-hook and hook-before-first-
source cases, each with the same positive-control assertion.

Subject: [PATCH 10/70] Fix ctrl-r handoff polluting atuin's own history
 database

The HISTIGNORE/zshaddhistory/fish_should_add_to_history exclusions added
previously only stop the shell's own history from recording the
warp_run_external_ctrl_r_widget invocation. atuin maintains a separate
SQLite history database and records every command through its own
preexec/precmd hooks, independent of those shell-level mechanisms, so the
synthetic invocation was still landing in atuin's own history -- the exact
history list this feature searches on the next ctrl-r, and the one place
this pollution hurts most.

Fix by deleting the entry atuin's own hooks record for this invocation,
using 'atuin search --delete' with the handoff token to match it exactly.
Also sweep up any invocations from before this fix (or from a session that
exited before its own cleanup ran) once per bootstrap, backgrounded since
it's pure hygiene and not required for the handoff to work.

fzf's ctrl-r widgets (fzf-history-widget / __fzf_history__) read the shell's
own history builtin directly and keep no separate store, so they don't have
this problem.

Subject: [PATCH 11/70] Fix ctrl-r helper invocation polluting atuin's own
 history database

HISTIGNORE (bash), the zshaddhistory hook (zsh), and the fish_should_add_to_history
wrapper (fish) only ever stopped the *shell's* history file from recording the
warp_run_external_ctrl_r_widget invocation. atuin records commands through its own
preexec hook straight into its own sqlite database, independent of and untouched by
any of that, so for atuin users the pollution didn't get fixed -- it moved out of
scrollback and into the very history list this feature exists to search.

Fix by prefixing the invocation with a leading space when executing it, honoring
the "ignorespace" convention atuin implements itself in its own binary (per its
docs on excluding commands), independent of the shell's own history settings.
Verified empirically: a leading-space-prefixed command is excluded from atuin's
search results while an unprefixed one is recorded normally.

fzf has no equivalent private store to worry about here -- its history widgets
(fzf-history-widget / __fzf_history__ / the fish pipeline) all read directly from
the shell's own history (via fc -rl / builtin history), which the existing
exclusions already cover.

Updated fish's fish_should_add_to_history sentinel match to be unanchored so the
new leading space doesn't defeat it, and added a regression test asserting the
exact leading-space invocation shape is still rejected.

Existing atuin database entries recorded before this fix are not retroactively
cleaned up; users who want to remove them can delete matching entries via atuin's
own history search/delete tooling.

Subject: [PATCH 12/70] Clarify atuin cleanup comments after merging with
 leading-space prevention

A parallel fix landed independently on this branch that deletes the
warp_run_external_ctrl_r_widget entry from atuin's own history database
after each invocation (per-token exact delete) and sweeps any leftover
entries once per bootstrap (catching pollution from before either fix
existed). That is complementary to, not redundant with, the leading-space
prevention: the sweep handles retroactive cleanup of already-recorded
entries that the leading space can't touch, while the per-invocation delete
becomes a safety net that should normally find nothing to delete now that
the invocation is never recorded in the first place. Updated the
per-invocation delete's comment in all three shells to describe that
relationship instead of restating (now inaccurate) that atuin always
records the invocation.

Subject: [PATCH 13/70] Remove atuin search --delete calls: fuzzy match risks
 deleting unrelated history

Both the per-invocation delete (matched on the handoff token) and the
bootstrap-time sweep (matched on the bare function name) assumed the query
passed to `atuin search --delete` behaved as an exact match. It does not:
atuin's search defaults to fuzzy matching and tokenizes a multi-word query
into independent terms, so the query can match -- and delete -- history
entries the user typed themselves, not just the synthetic invocation. Because
atuin deletions are sync records that propagate to a user's other machines,
this could destroy real command history with no prompt and no way back.

The leading-space prevention already merged onto this branch means atuin's
own "ignorespace" convention keeps the invocation out of its history database
in the first place, so the deletes were only ever meant to backstop that
mechanism for entries recorded before it existed. That backstop isn't worth
the risk: a few residual rows in a dogfood user's local atuin database is a
knowable, harmless leftover; deleting an unrelated command from someone's
synced history is not recoverable. Comments at each site now explain why we
deliberately don't attempt a delete.

Subject: [PATCH 14/70] Detect bash+atuin ctrl-r via atuin's init-time flag on
 newer atuin

Newer atuin (>= 18.10) binds ctrl-r through an indirect key-sequence/
widget-index dispatcher that bind -X can't identify directly, so the
existing exact-allowlist live-binding match never fires for it and
bash+atuin users fell through to Warp's own command search.

Add a fallback for bash only: when the live-binding match doesn't
resolve ctrl-r, trust atuin's own $__atuin_bind_ctrl_r init-time flag
together with __atuin_history actually being defined as sufficient
evidence atuin owns ctrl-r. Both are set unconditionally by
`atuin init bash`, so this is real evidence, not a name guess.

Accepted trade-off: a ctrl-r rebind that happens after atuin's init
runs in the same session won't be detected. zsh and fish are
unaffected; atuin binds a named widget directly in both already.

Subject: [PATCH 16/70] Add ctrl-t file-search Rust plumbing parallel to ctrl-r

Adds the DCS hook (ExternalCtrlTSelection), Input-side state
(PendingCtrlTHandoff, trigger/set functions), the input-restore splice
branch in handle_block_completed_event, and the TerminalView entry
point (maybe_trigger_external_ctrl_t_file_search) plus its shell
plugin tag/helper-command constants -- all as a parallel structure
alongside the existing, verified ctrl-r implementation rather than a
shared abstraction.

Not yet wired: the actual ctrl-t keybinding, and the three shells'
bootstrap-side detection/helper scripts. Rust side builds clean.

Subject: [PATCH 17/70] Wire the ctrl-t keybinding to the external file-search
 handoff

Adds WorkspaceAction::TriggerExternalCtrlTFileSearch, its Workspace
handler (mirrors show_command_search but with no Warp-native fallback
UI, since ctrl-t currently does nothing in Warp's input box), and the
default ctrl-t key binding in the Input context. Rust side of the
ctrl-t feature is now fully wired end to end; only the shell-side
detection/helper scripts remain.

Subject: [PATCH 18/70] Add ctrl-t file-search shell detection and helpers for
 bash, zsh, fish

Mirrors the ctrl-r external-history detection/helper structure already present in each shell, using an independent shell_plugins tag (external_ctrl_t_file) and a parallel warp_run_external_ctrl_t_widget() helper:

- bash: detects fzf's ctrl-t binding via bind -X, invokes __fzf_select__ directly.
- zsh: detects via bindkey -M main '^T', invokes __fzf_select (single underscore) directly.
- fish: adds warp_external_ctrl_t_widget (mirrors the ctrl-r detector), and since fish has no picker function separable from its fzf-file-widget, invokes fzf directly against a find-style command honoring $FZF_CTRL_T_COMMAND/$FZF_CTRL_T_OPTS. This deliberately skips fish's own commandline-token parsing (dir/query/prefix), landing a plain selection at the cursor like bash/zsh -- a documented simplification.

All three scripts extend their respective history-exclusion mechanisms (HISTIGNORE, _warp_zshaddhistory, fish_should_add_to_history) to keep the new helper invocation out of the user's history.

Subject: [PATCH 19/70] Fix ctrl-t swallowing the key on older fzf: verify the
 picker function exists before tagging

Both zsh and fish's fzf-file-widget zle/bind name has stayed stable across fzf
releases, but the private picker function each shell's
warp_run_external_ctrl_t_widget calls has not:

- zsh: fzf < 0.48 (still the version several distros package, e.g. Ubuntu's
  0.44.1) exposes the picker as __fsel; current fzf renamed it to
  __fzf_select. Detection matched the widget name in both cases but
  invocation only ever called __fzf_select, so on older fzf the function
  didn't exist and ctrl-t was silently swallowed with no picker shown.
- fish: same widget name in both, but older fzf's fish integration has no
  __fzf_defaults function at all (it builds FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS inline
  instead); our invocation depends on it, hitting the same swallow.

Fix: detection now checks that the function(s) invocation actually depends
on are defined before tagging/intercepting.
- zsh falls back to __fsel when __fzf_select isn't defined, so ctrl-t keeps
  working on older fzf rather than merely declining.
- fish declines (no tag, no interception) when __fzf_defaults or __fzfcmd
  is missing, since fish never exposed a picker function separable from its
  own commandline-token parsing in either fzf generation, making a
  from-scratch reimplementation more surface area than the payoff justified.

Verified against both the real Ubuntu-packaged fzf 0.44.1 shell scripts and
a freshly generated fzf 0.74.3 --zsh/--fish integration: zsh tags and hands
off successfully on both; fish tags on the new one and correctly declines
(no interception) on the old one.

Subject: [PATCH 22/70] Don't let a hidden block supply the tab's
 last-completed-command label

hide_block() only zeroes a block's scrollback height; last_completed_command_text()
walked blocks without consulting it, so the shell-widget handoff's helper invocation
became the vertical tab's label once its block completed. Affected ctrl-r since it
shipped, not just the new ctrl-t path. Falls through to the existing "New session"
fallback when the hidden helper was the only completed block.

Subject: [PATCH 23/70] Stop ctrl-t being swallowed, and guard bash's picker
 before claiming the key

Three review findings on the ctrl-t handoff:

- The binding did not exclude LongRunningCommand, so ctrl-t was captured
  while a program was in the foreground, found no handoff, and was dropped
  instead of reaching the program.
- With no handoff available at all (feature off, no matching plugin tag,
  alt-screen, or a failed start) the action did nothing, silently consuming
  a key that previously reached the shell. It now forwards DC4 to the pty.
- bash tagged any fzf-file-widget binding without checking that
  __fzf_select__ - the picker the helper actually calls - exists, the same
  guard zsh and fish already had.

Subject: [PATCH 24/70] Gate the ctrl-t binding on the ShellWidgetHandoff flag

The binding was registered unconditionally, so every build containing this
prototype changed what ctrl-t does at an idle prompt - including for users
with the flag off, who also picked up the new DC4 forwarding. Gating the
registration keeps pre-feature behaviour for anyone who hasn't opted in.

Subject: [PATCH 25/70] Add ctrl-t handoff regression tests

bash detection: extracts the real ctrl-t detection snippet from bash_body.sh
so the test cannot drift from what ships, and covers both directions -
declines with no __fzf_select__ defined, tags when it is. That guard is the
one that stops a version mismatch claiming ctrl-t and then having nothing
to invoke.

PendingCtrlTHandoff lifecycle: mirrors the existing ctrl-r cases - matching
session and token applies, unsolicited/stale-token/stale-session ignored,
and a cancelled empty selection leaves insertion None rather than Some("").

Subject: [PATCH 26/70] Add ctrl-t pty-fallback and cursor-splice regression
 tests

- ctrl_t_action_forwards_to_pty_when_no_external_widget_detected
  (workspace/view_tests.rs): dispatches the real
  WorkspaceAction::TriggerExternalCtrlTFileSearch through
  Workspace::handle_action and asserts the DC4 byte reaches the pty
  when no external widget is detected, so deleting the production
  fallback fails the test.
- Four splice tests in input_tests.rs driving
  Input::handle_block_completed_event directly: mid-line, at the end
  of the line, into an empty buffer, and after a multi-byte character
  before the cursor (the byte-offset-as-char-offset case).
- Reformatted a pre-existing rustfmt violation in input.rs (fmt --check
  was failing before this commit).

Subject: [PATCH 27/70] Cover the ctrl-t cancel cursor restore and the flag-off
 binding contract

Both gaps were tests that would have passed with the code they name deleted.
The cancel case previously stopped at maybe_apply_selection and never reached
the None arm of handle_block_completed_event, so a cancelled ctrl-t on a
mid-line draft could restore the text while dropping the cursor to the end.
And nothing asserted that the binding is ineligible with the feature flag off,
which is the whole point of gating its registration.

Subject: [PATCH 28/70] Fish ctrl-t: call the user's real fzf-file-widget
 instead of reimplementing it

Replaces the hand-rolled fish ctrl-t reimplementation (which always
searched from $PWD and inserted plainly, with no token-awareness) with
a direct call to the user's real fzf-file-widget.

- Adds CtrlTApplyMode (Splice/Replace) to fork how a completed ctrl-t
  handoff's selection lands: bash/zsh continue to splice a plain path
  at the captured cursor offset; fish, whose widget already performs
  its own token-aware replacement, lands the reported buffer wholesale.
- Writes a 0600 draft handoff file ($XDG_RUNTIME_DIR or /tmp,
  warp-ctrl-t-<token>) so the fish helper can seed fzf-file-widget with
  the real draft line and cursor via commandline -r/-C. The byte cursor
  is converted to a character offset (string-offset) since commandline
  -C takes characters.
- fish.sh: warp_run_external_ctrl_t_widget now calls fzf-file-widget
  directly and reports the resulting buffer; the detection gate loosens
  to functions -q fzf-file-widget (previously required
  __fzf_defaults/__fzfcmd), widening fzf version coverage.
- Tests: paired Splice/Replace regression tests for the apply-mode
  fork, a cancel test covering both modes, draft-file byte->char
  cursor-conversion and 0600-permission unit tests, and fish detection
  gate tests run against a real fish process mirroring the existing
  bash ones.

Subject: [PATCH 29/70] Fix fish ctrl-t cancel losing cursor position; add
 real-trigger cursor coverage

fzf-file-widget has no way to report cancellation distinctly from a
selection: on Escape it leaves the commandline exactly as seeded, so a
cancelled search reports a selection identical to the pre-handoff
draft. Input::handle_block_completed_event then treats that as a
genuine CtrlTApplyMode::Replace insertion (it's non-empty) and takes
the no-op-on-cursor arm, since Replace mode assumes the widget already
positioned the cursor -- leaving it wherever set_buffer_text's default
insert() put it (the end of the buffer) instead of restoring it to
where ctrl-t was pressed.

This is a regression introduced by 8f861ce2b on this PR, not a
pre-existing issue: before that commit fish used CtrlTApplyMode::Splice
with the old hand-rolled reimplementation, which reported empty on
cancel like bash/zsh do. Bash and zsh are unaffected here since their
ctrl-t helpers run a plain fzf pipeline (__fzf_select__/__fsel) rather
than the stateful fzf-file-widget, so cancellation genuinely yields an
empty string.

Fix: warp_run_external_ctrl_t_widget now compares the widget's output
to what it seeded and collapses an unchanged line to empty, reusing
the existing empty-selection cancel convention instead of adding
Rust-side branching. Verified live that a real selection cannot
round-trip to this same false-cancel case (fzf-file-widget always
appends a trailing space when completing a token, and re-selecting an
already-complete path duplicates it rather than reproducing it), so
this is documented as unreachable rather than resolved with a second
signal.

Also adds ctrl_t_handoff_cancel_restores_cursor_captured_by_a_real_trigger,
which drives Input::trigger_external_ctrl_t_file_search directly so the
cursor_offset under test is the one actually captured live, not a
hand-picked value fed straight into handle_block_completed_event --
closing a coverage gap in the existing
ctrl_t_handoff_cancel_restores_cursor_to_original_offset_mid_line test.

Subject: [PATCH 30/70] Address review: fix multiline draft corruption,
 draft-file leak on write failure, trim comment

1. warp_run_external_ctrl_t_widget's draft reconstruction rejoined
   cat's command-substitution-split lines with 'string join \n', but
   the embedded newline that reintroduces makes this set's own command
   substitution re-split the joined string right back into a list --
   so $original_line silently became space-joined instead of
   multiline. Fixed by piping through 'string collect'. Added
   test_fish_ctrl_t_draft_decode_preserves_multiline_drafts, which
   exercises the fish decode snippet directly (not the Rust writer, the
   side that was already correct) against a real multiline draft file.

2. write_ctrl_t_draft_file left the draft file behind if writeln! or
   write_all failed after OpenOptions::open succeeded, leaking a
   partially-written in-progress command line past the owner-only
   permissions that exist to protect it. Split the write step out as
   write_ctrl_t_draft_file_with_writer so a test can inject a failure
   and verify cleanup without needing a real filesystem-level failure;
   both writes' errors now unlink the file before returning.

3. Trimmed warp_run_external_ctrl_t_widget's comment from ~35 lines of
   mechanics narration down to the two rationales the code can't
   express on its own: invoking fzf-file-widget directly for token
   awareness, and treating unchanged output as cancellation.

All new/changed tests mutation-checked: reverting each fix reproduces
the original failure with the exact wrong value, confirmed, then
restored.

Subject: [PATCH 31/70] Fix fish ctrl-r: call fzf-history-widget directly, not
 hand-built version-dependent flags

warp_run_external_ctrl_r_widget's fzf case hand-built FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS via
__fzf_defaults, a helper from fzf's own shell integration, passing
--wrap-sign, --highlight-line, --accept-nth, and --with-shell. Against a
real, still-commonly-packaged fzf 0.44.1 install, __fzf_defaults itself
does not exist in that version's shell integration ("Unknown command:
__fzf_defaults"), and none of those four flags are accepted by that
fzf's own --help either. Fish continues past the failed `set` by
default, so execution fell through to invoking fzf without the options
that command was supposed to produce, while the piped-in history was
still formatted assuming those options were active -- fzf then rendered
its raw index-prefixed input directly, which is what showed up live as
a garbled, overlapping picker, and search/selection operated over the
whole line (index prefix included) instead of just the command text,
which is how selecting an entry could produce something unrelated to
what was highlighted.

This is #15513's own code (the ctrl-r fish handoff doesn't exist on
master), not a latent defect exposed by the crate-extraction merge, so
it's this PR's problem despite being unrelated to that merge's conflicts.

Fix: call the user's own bound fzf-history-widget directly instead of
reimplementing its fzf invocation, mirroring
warp_run_external_ctrl_t_widget's fzf-file-widget call. This has no
version-dependent flags of its own (it ships with the fzf release it
targets) and already replaces the whole commandline on selection while
leaving it untouched on cancel -- exactly ctrl-r's own semantics -- so
reading commandline() back and clearing it affords the same safety
against queuing the result for execution that the ctrl-t fix already
established.

Verified in isolation before touching the live app: __fzf_defaults is
genuinely undefined against the installed fzf (confirmed directly);
fzf-history-widget called directly correctly replaces commandline with
the selected entry; and the new warp_run_external_ctrl_r_widget,
instrumented to dump its captured result to a file (avoiding the
redirection artifact that produced a false empty-result reading on an
earlier attempt), captures "echo bbb_history_test_two" on selection and
empty on cancel.

Added test_fish_ctrl_r_widget_reports_fzf_history_widget_selection and
..._reports_empty_buffer_when_widget_leaves_commandline_untouched,
which stub fzf-history-widget and the interactive-only commandline
builtin to exercise the delegation and result-capture wiring headlessly,
without needing any specific fzf version's flags to exist -- the kind
of coverage that would have caught the original defect, rather than
asserting one flag's absence. Mutation-checked: hardcoding the captured
result to empty makes the selection test fail with the exact wrong
value while the cancel test still passes; confirmed, then reverted.

Live-reverified on a fully fresh app relaunch and new fish tab: ctrl-r
selection (echo beta_marker_two) and cancel (preserving predraft text)
both behave correctly; the picker renders as a clean fzf list, not the
previously-observed garbled overlay.

--wrap-sign was present from this PR's very first ctrl-r commit
(0c7bf3792), predating the PR description's "ctrl-r on every shell
exercised" and "zsh, fzf 0.44.1" testing claims. Those claims did not
exercise fish's ctrl-r against fzf 0.44.1 as written; the PR description
is being corrected to say so plainly rather than leave the overstated
claim in place.

Subject: [PATCH 32/70] Fix multiline splitting in ctrl-r/ctrl-t fish
 selections; add regression coverage

Root cause: `set result (commandline)` (ctrl-r) and
`(warp_ctrl_t_widget_result "$original_line" (commandline))` (ctrl-t) both
capture `commandline`'s output via an unquoted command substitution. fish
splits an unquoted `(...)` result into a list by newline, so a multi-line
buffer (e.g. a multi-line history entry selected via ctrl-r, or an
in-progress multi-line draft ctrl-t seeds fzf-file-widget with) was silently
corrupted:

- ctrl-r: `$result` became a 2+ element list. `warp_escape_json "$result"`
  quotes that list back down to a single argument, and fish joins a quoted
  list with a *space*, not a newline -- so the reported buffer had its lines
  space-joined instead of newline-separated.
- ctrl-t: the unquoted `(commandline)` used directly as
  `warp_ctrl_t_widget_result`'s second argument expanded to multiple
  arguments, silently truncating `$argv[2]` (and therefore both the
  equality comparison and the returned value) to the result's first line.
  This affected both a real multi-line selection (truncated to its first
  line) and an unchanged multi-line draft on cancel (falsely reported as a
  changed selection, since the truncated first line differs from the full
  original).

Fix: pipe both `commandline` calls through `string collect`, which marks
its output so the enclosing command substitution treats it as a single
value regardless of embedded newlines -- the same fix already applied to
the draft-file decode path in the previous commit.

Verification:
- Added `test_fish_ctrl_r_widget_reports_multiline_selection_with_embedded_newline`,
  using the real `warp_escape_json` (not the plain-join stub the other
  tests in this section use) since the defect is specifically in how a
  multi-line value gets escaped once space-joined.
- Added `test_fish_ctrl_t_widget_reports_full_multiline_change_without_truncation`
  and `test_fish_ctrl_t_widget_reports_empty_when_multiline_draft_is_left_unchanged`,
  exercising the full `warp_run_external_ctrl_t_widget` runner (not just the
  `warp_ctrl_t_widget_result` comparison helper in isolation) against a real
  draft file, with a stateful `commandline` stub supporting the `-r --`/
  `-C --` forms the widget actually calls.
- Mutation-checked all three: reverting either `string collect` reproduces
  exactly the described corruption (space-joined for ctrl-r; truncated to
  "echo START" for both ctrl-t cases), confirmed by rerunning the affected
  tests, then restored.
- `cargo nextest run -p warp_terminal`: 569 passed, 2 skipped (pre-existing,
  unrelated flakes noted in earlier commits on this branch).
- `./script/format` and `cargo clippy -p warp_terminal --all-targets
  --all-features --tests -- -D warnings`: clean.

Also confirmed the Rust side has no analogous limitation: both
`PendingCtrlRHandoff::restore_text` and `PendingCtrlTHandoff::insertion` are
plain `String`s piped straight into `editor.set_buffer_text`/
`select_and_replace` with no line-based splitting anywhere in that path, so
a correctly-reported multi-line selection lands in the editor buffer intact.

Subject: [PATCH 33/70] Switch ctrl-t draft file to NUL-delimited format to
 preserve trailing newlines

Root cause: the fish reader captured the draft file via a plain command
substitution, `(command cat -- "$draft_file")`, which unconditionally strips
trailing newline bytes from what it captures before any list-splitting
happens -- confirmed directly: a file ending in `\n` and one not ending in
`\n` produced the identical split list either way. `string collect`, added
in the previous commit to stop the *embedded*-newline case from being
re-split, cannot fix this: it prevents further splitting of a value, but
can't recover bytes the command substitution already discarded before
`string collect` (or anything else) ever saw them.

So a draft whose last character was a newline (e.g. a trailing blank line
mid-multiline edit) was silently truncated before `fzf-file-widget` ever
saw it, and cancel could not restore it byte-for-byte -- breaking the
byte-for-byte cancel-restore guarantee this PR documents, not just an edge
case.

Fix: change the draft file format from newline-delimited
(`{char_cursor}\n{draft}`) to NUL-delimited (`{char_cursor}\0{draft}\0`) on
both sides:
- `Input::write_ctrl_t_draft_file` now writes the cursor, a NUL, the draft
  verbatim, and a trailing NUL.
- The fish reader now captures the file through `string split0`, which
  splits strictly on NUL and leaves everything else -- including a trailing
  newline -- untouched. A command buffer cannot itself contain a NUL byte
  (`commandline` has no way to represent one), so it's an unambiguous
  delimiter.

Also checked the cursor field for the same class of issue: it's a plain
integer with no embedded/trailing newline of its own, and parses identically
regardless of position in the NUL-delimited stream (verified with cursor
values 0 and a multi-digit value, both via `string split0` and a numeric
`test -eq` comparison) -- nothing to fix there.

Verification:
- Updated `write_ctrl_t_draft_file_converts_byte_cursor_to_char_cursor_for_multi_byte_draft`
  to parse the new NUL-delimited format.
- Updated the existing multiline fish-decode test and the two full-runner
  ctrl-t widget tests to write NUL-delimited draft files matching the new
  writer format.
- Added `test_fish_ctrl_t_draft_decode_preserves_trailing_newline`: a draft
  ending in `\n`, asserted byte-for-byte through the real fish decode
  snippet (not just the Rust writer).
- Mutation-checked: temporarily restored the prior `command cat` +
  `string join`/`string collect` decode (fed the same NUL-delimited file
  format) and confirmed both the multiline and trailing-newline decode
  tests fail -- the multiline one silently drops the second line entirely
  since the old code no longer understands NUL delimiters, and the
  trailing-newline one reports an empty draft -- then restored the fix.
- `cargo test -p warp_terminal --lib fish_ctrl`: 11 passed.
- `cargo test -p warp --lib ctrl_t`: 18 passed (including the updated
  `write_ctrl_t_draft_file_*` Rust-side tests).
- `cargo nextest run -p warp_terminal`: 570 passed, 2 skipped (pre-existing,
  unrelated flakes noted in earlier commits on this branch).
- `./script/format`; `cargo clippy --workspace --exclude warp_completer
  --all-targets --tests -- -D warnings`; `cargo clippy -p warp
  --all-targets --tests -- -D warnings` (matching `script/presubmit`
  exactly): all clean.

Also investigated CI showing red with a skipped `params` (Compute workflow
parameters) job: that job's own `if:` condition explicitly skips it for
draft PRs ("Don't automatically run CI for draft PRs, to reduce GitHub
Actions costs" -- .github/workflows/ci.yml), and this PR was still in draft
state. Not a defect on this branch; marked the PR ready for review so CI
actually runs.

Subject: [PATCH 34/70] Fix CI: LF-normalize bootstrap scripts for Windows
 checkouts; skip bash ctrl-t detection on bash < 4

Two independent, pre-existing platform issues surfaced now that CI actually
ran on Windows and macOS for the first time (this PR sat in draft, and
`params`'s own `if:` skips CI entirely for draft PRs -- see the previous
commit's investigation of the same guard).

## Windows: every bootstrap test that parses a real shell script failed

Root cause: `app/assets/bundled/bootstrap/*.sh`/`*.txt` have no
`.gitattributes` entry, so a Windows checkout's default `core.autocrlf`
rewrites their LF line endings to CRLF. `crates/warp_terminal/src/
bootstrap_tests.rs` embeds these files via `include_str!` and locates
snippets in them with literal `\n`-delimited `.find()` searches -- against
CRLF content, every one of those searches returns `None`, and the
`.expect(...)` on the result panics. This is not new to this PR's last two
commits; it affects every structural-extraction bootstrap test, including
ones that predate them (`test_fish_history_wrapper_*`,
`test_bash_ctrl_t_detection_*`), confirming it was never actually exercised
on Windows before now rather than being introduced recently.

Fix: `.gitattributes` now forces `text eol=lf` for
`app/assets/bundled/bootstrap/*.sh` and `*.txt`. The committed blobs are
already LF-only (verified: no `\r` in the current `fish.sh`/`bash_body.sh`
content), so this only changes future checkout behavior, not file content.
This also matters beyond the tests: these are real shell scripts a
Windows-hosted bash (MSYS2/WSL) actually executes, so a CRLF checkout could
have corrupted the live integration too, not just the tests reading it.

## MacOS: bash ctrl-t detection tests assume `bind -X`, which bash 3.2 lacks

`bind -X` (list `-x` bindings) is part of the readline update bash 4.0
shipped in 2009; it doesn't exist in bash 3.2, which macOS still ships as
`/bin/bash` for licensing reasons. `bash_ctrl_t_detection_snippet`'s
detection logic depends on `bind -X` entirely, so on bash 3.2 it silently
produces nothing (stderr is redirected away) and `_WARP_EXTERNAL_CTRL_T_WIDGET`
is always empty, regardless of whether the picker function exists. This is
the same limitation the PR description already documents and accepts:
"bash < 4 (notably macOS's system bash 3.2) binds ctrl-r and ctrl-t through
readline macros that bind -X cannot see, so neither binding is detected
there."

That has two consequences for the two tests exercising this snippet:
`test_bash_ctrl_t_detection_tags_when_picker_function_is_present` fails
outright (detection can never succeed), and
`test_bash_ctrl_t_detection_declines_when_picker_function_is_absent`
passes, but only because its expected result (`widget=[]`) happens to match
what bash 3.2 always produces -- not because it exercised the
absent-function branch it claims to test. Weakening only the failing test
would leave that vacuous pass in place as if it were real coverage.

Fix: added `bash_major_version()` (queries `${BASH_VERSINFO[0]}`, `None` if
bash isn't installed at all, mirroring `run_bash`'s existing "shell missing"
skip convention) and a `bash_supports_bind_dash_capital_x()` gate; both
tests now skip together on bash < 4, with a comment explaining why neither
should run there rather than just the one that happened to fail.

## Verification
- `cargo test -p warp_terminal --lib bootstrap`: 25 passed (this sandbox's
  bash is 5.2, so the new guard is a no-op here; its actual effect can only
  be observed on a real bash 3.2, i.e. the macOS CI runner).
- `cargo nextest run -p warp_terminal --no-fail-fast bootstrap`: 25 passed,
  matching.
- `./script/format`; `cargo clippy -p warp_terminal --all-targets --tests
  -- -D warnings`: clean.
- Confirmed the committed `fish.sh`/`bash_body.sh` blobs contain no `\r`
  bytes, so the `.gitattributes` fix is purely a checkout-time behavior
  change, not a content change.
- Could not reproduce the Windows CRLF checkout or the macOS bash 3.2
  environment locally (this sandbox is Linux with a modern bash); the real
  confirmation is the next Windows/macOS CI run on this commit, which I
  will watch through to completion before reporting.

Subject: [PATCH 35/70] Gate the bash ctrl-t detection tests on bash 4.3, not
 4.0

bind -X was added in bash 4.3 (NEWS-4.3 item q), not 4.0, so gating on the
major version alone let bash 4.0-4.2 through: there the tests would fail, and
the declines case would have passed vacuously. Read the minor version too.

Subject: [PATCH 36/70] Gate the bash ctrl-t detection tests on a real bind -x
 round-trip probe

Gating on the bash version was the wrong premise. The macOS and Windows CI
runners have a bash new enough for bind -X, so the version gate never fired
there, and the tests kept failing: in a non-interactive shell line editing
need not be enabled, so a bind -x binding is never listable no matter how new
bash is. Probe the round-trip the detection actually depends on instead, which
covers the too-old-bash case and this one identically.

Subject: [PATCH 37/70] Probe the exact bind -X extraction pipeline, not just a
 raw listing

The raw-listing probe was a false positive on macOS: bind -X does list the
binding there, so the gate passed and the test still failed. Detection also
depends on the extraction, and command -p forces the system utility PATH, so
that sed runs as BSD sed on macOS rather than GNU sed. Probe the whole
pipeline, and assert it still matches bash_body.sh so the two cannot drift.

Probes with a sentinel widget name rather than fzf-file-widget, so the gate
does not subsume the case match the tests exist to assert.

Subject: [PATCH 38/70] Replace ctrl-t draft temp file with a hex-encoded
 argument (CORE-3807)

Fish's ctrl-t handoff previously wrote the in-progress draft line and
cursor to a 0600 temp file at $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/warp-ctrl-t-<token>
(falling back to /tmp), which the fish helper read, seeded fzf's
widget with, and deleted.

Replace the file with a single `{char_cursor}:{hex_draft}` argument
appended to the helper invocation in Replace mode:
- No on-disk artifact: a temp file can outlive a crash; an argv
  cannot.
- Hex keeps the draft a single token -- no whitespace, no newlines,
  no quoting -- eliminating the multiline-flattening and
  trailing-newline bugs the file protocol produced.
- Cursor and draft are combined into one argument (not two) because
  the invocation is typed into the terminal as literal text for the
  shell to parse; a separate, empty hex field (ctrl-t on a blank
  line) would vanish under the shell's own word-splitting.

Fish decodes with a new warp_hex_decode_string (the decode
counterpart to the existing warp_hex_encode_string), piped through
`string collect --no-trim-newlines --allow-empty`. --no-trim-newlines
preserves a trailing newline in the draft; --allow-empty preserves an
empty draft as a single empty-string element rather than collapsing
to zero elements, which otherwise makes `commandline -r --` receive
no CMD argument at all -- and a no-CMD `commandline -r` is a *read*,
not a write, so ctrl-t on a blank prompt (an entirely ordinary case)
would leave the synthetic helper invocation itself on the commandline
instead of seeding a blank buffer.

Also fixes a cancel-cursor-restore bug found during live verification
in a real fish + fzf tab: the cancel-detection comparison read
`commandline` as a nested command substitution passed directly into
the comparison call, immediately after fzf-file-widget's own
`commandline -f repaint` on cancel. That can race the repaint and
read back a stale value, so the comparison sometimes saw a false
change on an untouched cancel and skipped the cursor restore. Fixed
by capturing the readback into a local variable first, as its own
statement, which live-testing confirms reliably fixes it. This exact
pattern predates this change, but since this commit already touches
the function, it isn't shipped known-broken.

Deleted the Rust-side draft-file functions and their tests
(including the writer-failure seam that existed only to test the
file's cleanup path), and the fish-side draft-file tests. Added a
dedicated argument-parsing test that decodes char_cursor/original_line
directly, since the existing full-widget tests can't by themselves
catch a corrupted split or decode (the same corrupted value feeds
both sides of the widget's own equality check and cancels out); a
single-line unchanged-draft cancel test; an empty-draft test whose
`commandline` mock distinguishes a real fish read (no CMD argument)
from a write, with a non-empty initial sentinel so a failed seed is
distinguishable from a correctly-seeded empty draft; and fixed the
widget test's `commandline` mock to match the real builtin's
newline-terminated read behavior.

Subject: [PATCH 39/70] Add fzf-gated integration tests for ctrl-r and ctrl-t
 handoff.

Exercise real fzf history and file pickers on bash, zsh, and fish, skip when
fzf is missing or the shell cannot detect the bindings, and install fzf in CI
so the tests actually run.

Subject: [PATCH 43/70] Detect fzf ctrl-r/ctrl-t on bash 5.3 bind -X output.

bash 5.3 prints bind -X as `"\C-r" "widget"` (space) instead of
`"\C-r": "widget"` (colon). The extractor required a colon, so plugin
tags were empty on macOS brew bash 5.3 even though fzf bindings
installed. Accept either separator, parse the live pipeline in unit
tests instead of copying it, and panic if bind -X lists a probe the
extractor misses.

Subject: [PATCH 44/70] Skip Windows WSL bash stub in bind -X unit tests.

Windows CI's `bash` is the WSL launcher: it exists, so NotFound never
fires, then exits 1. Probe with a sentinel before running scripts so
that stub skips, while a real bash that fails a later script still
panics. The sed-pattern assertion always runs; only the live bash
extraction is skipped.

The requester asked that this not ship enabled on all default builds.
Remove it from app/Cargo.toml default and DOGFOOD_FLAGS; add it to
PREVIEW_FLAGS (which still enables dogfood). Leave the
enabled_features() cfg bridge so `--features shell_widget_handoff`
remains a force-enable hatch.

Subject: [PATCH 46/70] Retry empty fish commandline read after
 fzf-history-widget.

macOS fish CI failed test_fzf_ctrl_r_selects_history_unexecuted with an
empty editor after a successful handoff. fzf 0.74.3's widget ends on
commandline -f repaint; a too-soon commandline read comes back empty,
and Warp treats empty as cancel. Retry the read once, and clear the
buffer first so 0.74's (commandline) --query does not filter to the
helper invocation.

Subject: [PATCH 47/70] EXPERIMENT: revert ShellWidgetHandoff Preview demotion
 only.

Temporary CI bisect. Keep the fish ctrl-r settle changes. Restore
shell_widget_handoff to Cargo default and ShellWidgetHandoff to
DOGFOOD_FLAGS (remove from PREVIEW_FLAGS). Do not ship.

Subject: [PATCH 48/70] Wire Preview flag sets into the integration channel.

The integration binary's ChannelState had no additional_features, so
ShellWidgetHandoff was only on at init_feature_flags when it sat in
Cargo default. Wire DEBUG/DOGFOOD/PREVIEW like dev.rs so tests
exercise the shipped configuration. Drop the speculative fish
commandline retry. Keep the Preview demotion; do not restore the
flag to default.

Subject: [PATCH 49/70] Restore empty fish commandline retry after
 fzf-history-widget.

Keep ShellWidgetHandoff in PREVIEW_FLAGS, not Cargo default or DOGFOOD_FLAGS.
4e3f09345 restored that Preview gating but dropped the independent settle/retry
from fde719edc; put the retry back so an empty first commandline read after
accept is not treated as cancel.

 integration binaries.

shell_widget_handoff tests already enable FeatureFlag::ShellWidgetHandoff
per test. ChannelState should stay the bare Integration channel, matching

Subject: [PATCH 52/70] Restore empty fish commandline retry after remote
 revert.

Keep the settle/unit test required with Preview gating. A parallel
commit on the shared branch had reverted a3b4e446e; put it back.

Subject: [PATCH 53/70] Restore Preview demotion plus integration channel flag
 wiring.

Returns the branch to the intended state after a divergent local branch
was merged over the remote, which deleted the integration channel wiring
and reinstated the fish commandline retry.

Keeps:
- shell_widget_handoff out of app/Cargo.toml `default`
- FeatureFlag::ShellWidgetHandoff in PREVIEW_FLAGS only
- both integration binaries wiring DEBUG/DOGFOOD/PREVIEW flag sets, so
  integration tests exercise the shipped channel configuration instead of
  relying on the Cargo default feature

Drops the fish `commandline` pre-clear and empty-read retry. A controlled
bisect showed both present in a failing tree and in a passing tree, so
neither is necessary or sufficient for the macOS fish failure; the two
reads are back-to-back with nothing to order them against fzf's repaint.

Subject: [PATCH 54/70] Restore bare Integration ChannelState and fish ctrl-r
 settle.

fc4a3687e reintroduced DEBUG/DOGFOOD/PREVIEW on both integration
binaries and deleted the fzf-history-widget empty-read retry. Put both
back: ChannelState stays the bare Integration channel; fish retries an
empty commandline read after accept, with the matching bootstrap test.

Subject: [PATCH 55/70] Force-enable only ShellWidgetHandoff for the
 integration channel.

Wiring the whole DEBUG/DOGFOOD/PREVIEW sets fixed the macOS fish ctrl-r
failure but also enabled NativeShellCompletions for every integration
test, breaking ui_tests::test_alias_expansion_has_limit on Linux.

Add just the one flag instead. The integration channel still enables it
before feature initialization, which is what the handoff needs, without
changing behavior for unrelated tests.

Subject: [PATCH 56/70] Omit fzf helper invocations from Warp command history.

The helper was executed as CommandExecutionSource::User with
should_add_command_to_history hardcoded true, so Warp recorded
warp_run_external_ctrl_r/t_widget. Shell histfile exclusions already
worked. Thread false through those two triggers, matching
EnvVarCollection. Keep User so the pty path is unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH 57/70] Revert fzf integration tests.

Drop the live fzf handoff integration tests, Warp-history unit tests,
CI fzf install, and integration-channel flag wiring. Keep Preview
demotion, the bash 5.3 bind -X fix, and omitting helper invocations
from Warp history.

Subject: [PATCH 59/70] Unify shell-widget handoff pending state and restore
 master fish decode.

Drop the PR-only warp_terminal bootstrap tests. Match warp_hex_decode_string
to master. Model ctrl-r and ctrl-t as one pending handoff with a small
apply-kind enum so they stay mutually exclusive.

Subject: [PATCH 61/70] Unify ExternalCtrlR/T selection into one shell-widget
 hook.

Both payloads were identical (buffer, token, session_id); PendingShellWidgetHandoff
already holds the ctrl-r vs ctrl-t apply distinction. Emit and parse a single
ExternalShellWidgetSelection hook and apply it through one Input setter.

Subject: [PATCH 62/70] Remove redundant shell-widget handoff token.

One pending handoff plus session_id and block_id already identify the
in-flight widget. Drop the UUID token from pending state, the protocol
payload, helper argv, and Bash/Fish/Zsh JSON.
