## Changes

### New Features

Dynamic Terminal Detection

Claude Code now automatically detects your terminal environment using the new `BA4()` function. This provides better shell integration by recognizing:

- Popular terminals (iTerm, Alacritty, Kitty, GNOME Terminal, Windows Terminal, etc.)
- Terminal multiplexers (tmux, screen)
- SSH sessions
- WSL environments
- Non-interactive contexts

Enhanced Shell Support

- **Expanded shell compatibility**: Now supports multiple shell paths:
- `/bin/bash` and `/usr/bin/bash`
- `/bin/zsh` and `/usr/bin/zsh`
- `/bin/sh`
- **Automatic shell discovery**: If your `SHELL` environment variable isn't set or points to an invalid shell, Claude Code will automatically find a suitable shell from the supported list
- **Better error messages**: Clear error when no suitable Unix shell environment is found

User Preferences Support

- **Global user configuration**: Claude Code now reads from `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` for user-specific preferences that aren't checked into the codebase
- **Hierarchical configuration**: Combines project-specific `CLAUDE.md` files with global user preferences

Message of the Day (MOTD)

- New `Tp1()` component displays customizable messages from the server
- Supports color theming to match your terminal color scheme

### Improvements

Shell Process Management

- **Better error tracking**: The persistent shell now captures recent stdout/stderr (up to 10KB) for debugging when the shell exits unexpectedly
- **Enhanced diagnostics**: Shell exit events now include more context:
- Working directory at time of exit
- Queue length and execution state
- Recent output for troubleshooting
- **Safer cleanup**: Improved error handling when cleaning up temporary files during shell exit

Error Reporting

- **Stack trace enhancement**: Sentry error reports now include original stack traces in a more readable format
- **Better error context**: Shell write errors now include recent stdout/stderr for debugging

Theme System

- **New "remember" color**: Added to all color themes for better visual distinction of remembered/saved items

### Technical Improvements

Code Quality

- **Type safety**: Better path resolution with new `xA9()` and `cA9()` functions for tool path validation
- **Resource management**: Improved cleanup of file descriptors and temporary files
- **Error boundaries**: More robust error handling throughout the shell execution pipeline

### Bug Fixes

- Fixed potential race conditions in shell process management
- Improved handling of shell crashes during command execution
- Better validation of file paths before operations
- More reliable shell availability checks before writing commands

### Breaking Changes

None - this release maintains backward compatibility with v0.2.9.
