feat(kitty): prefix tab titles with cwd basename#198
Merged
Conversation
Adds tab_title_template using tab.active_oldest_wd so the directory name leads each tab title and survives truncation. For tabs that emit OSC 0/2 (vim, ssh, the Claude TUI) the program-set title is appended after a separator. Caps rendered length at 50 cells. Claude Code uses Node's process.title rather than OSC 2, but kitty still picks the title up via window.title, so the prefix and the Claude task description both render.

Summary
tab_title_templateso each kitty tab leads with the cwd basename, then appends· {title}only when an OSC-set title exists.tab_title_max_length 50so the cwd prefix survives truncation when titles get long.Why
Claude Code uses Node's
process.titlerather than OSC 0/2, but kitty still picks the resulting title up via the window's{title}field, so both the directory prefix and Claude's task description render in the tab. For tabs running plainzsh, vim, ssh, etc., the same template still works because shell integration emits OSC 2.Behaviour
