Terminay Files

Terminay v5.0.0 marks a major architectural shift toward a unified server model with multi-connection workspaces and server-hosted language intelligence.

Architecture & Server Model

Single Server Type, Many Connections

• Removed project environments as a first-class concept; all projects now execute on a single server instance per workspace
• Unified the server architecture to eliminate environment-specific routing and complexity
• Enabled workspaces to connect to multiple servers simultaneously, with each connection hosting its own set of projects
• Redesigned the connection menu and tab system to surface server identity and allow seamless switching between connections

Protocol & Compatibility

• Updated workspace snapshot schema to version 5 with support for five built-in extensions
• Implemented protocol compatibility layer to handle version negotiation between clients and servers
• Added connections host capability to advertise multi-server support during handshake

Language Intelligence & Extensions

Server-Hosted Language Services

• Moved language intelligence from client-side Monaco language services to server-hosted language-server extensions
• Implemented language session runtime to manage language server lifecycle and protocol communication
• Added TypeScript language extension as the first server-hosted language provider
• Removed client-side language service shipping; file viewer now requests language features from the server

Extension Platform Updates

• Refactored extension child process management to support language server extensions alongside agent extensions
• Updated built-in extension set to include the new TypeScript language server
• Removed Cursor agent support from built-ins
• Improved extension observation routing to handle cross-server agent status updates

Desktop & UI Changes

Multi-Connection Workspace UI

• Redesigned workspace to display projects grouped by server connection
• Added connections control panel for managing active server connections
• Updated tab overflow and switcher logic to handle cross-server project tabs
• Implemented connection-aware agent status badges across the workspace

Desktop Application Behavior

• Fixed desktop startup to open existing data roots instead of refusing to start
• Improved window registry and instance identity tracking for multi-connection scenarios
• Enhanced server bundle host to manage multiple concurrent server connections
• Updated preload and IPC contracts to support connection-scoped operations

Testing & Verification

E2E & Conformance

• Added language server extension conformance tests
• Verified multi-server workspace behavior with new cross-server row and tab composition tests
• Updated terminal and project tests to work with the unified server model
• Removed project environment-specific e2e tests
