terminal: stop replaying questions, stop opening two sockets, bind the word keys
three separate faults behind "reconnecting gets weird and the keyboard is not natural". ── the replay typed into the shell ── the pty buffer was stored raw and replayed verbatim on every re-attach. anything in it that ASKS the terminal a question — DSR, DA, DECRQM, XTVERSION, XTGETTCAP, the OSC colour queries — got asked again, and xterm answered correctly by writing the reply to its input. the pty receives that as a keystroke nobody typed. stripped on the way IN, since the buffer is the thing that gets replayed and a live client already answered them once when they were legitimately asked. only questions are removed; everything that draws is untouched. where a control shares its final byte with one that draws, the parameter is enumerated rather than wildcarded — CSI 18 t asks the window size, CSI 22 t pushes the title, and stripping the second would change what a replay renders. 36 tests, both directions, because both fail silently. ── two sockets on one session ── handleClose armed a reconnect timer; handleVisibilityChange fired on tab focus whenever readyState was CLOSED — which is exactly what a pending timer leaves. both ran. every keystroke went twice, two replay frames fought over the screen, and only one socket was ever cleaned up because __terminalCleanup is overwritten by whichever connect ran last. connect() is now the single guard, and a stale socket's close no longer speaks for the session. ── the keyboard ── alt-arrow was dead for everyone: xterm.js 5 rewrote it into the ctrl-arrow sequence, xterm.js 6 removed that rewrite and emits the honest ^[[1;3C/D (verified — the string 1;3D does not appear anywhere in the 6.0 bundle). nothing bound it. so it broke on a dependency bump, with no shell config changed. bound in zsh rather than translated in the browser, deliberately: tmux.conf claims M-Left/M-Right for pane switching, and a client-side rewrite would send ^[b to tmux and break it. the real sequence lets tmux handle it inside a session and zsh outside. ctrl-arrow was worse and more embarrassing: it worked for MEMBERS and not for the OWNER. shell-skel/zshrc has had the bindings all along; the owner's .zshrc is assembled in machine-setup and never got them. the owner had a strictly worse shell than the accounts they provision. confirmed with `zsh -i -c bindkey` before and after. also: escape-time 10 in tmux.conf. the 500ms default delays every Alt chord and every Escape, which is most of what "not natural" felt like. applied to this host by hand — setup only runs at install. cmd+arrow is left alone: xterm emits nothing for it, so there is no sequence to bind.
