• tmux panes break when Claude Code spawns agent teams
• 3 config layers (tmux.conf + shell scripts + WM keybindings) that don't compose
• GPU-accelerated terminals waste resources on text rendering
• No terminal understands process relationships or AI agents

• Native Claude Code agent team protocol — agents auto-organize into workspaces
• Single config file, built-in multiplexer, tiling layouts
• CPU SIMD rendering at sub-millisecond frame times — works everywhere, no GPU
• Process graph tracks every process/agent with parent-child relationships
