Issues and pull requests welcome on GitHub.

Terminal state persistence: When the Claude Pilot view is closed and reopened, the terminal appears blank until user interaction (though the underlying PTY session persists). A visual redraw mechanism is needed to restore the display state.
Cursor positioning: Cursor may appear offset from correct position after resizing terminal. Force resize to redraw fixes it temporarily.

Drag & Drop Support: Drop files directly into the terminal - all file types are handled automatically
Clickable Links: URLs and file paths are now clickable - file paths open directly in VS Code editor
Version Display: Shows current extension version in terminal corner

WebGL Rendering: Hardware-accelerated terminal rendering for better performance
Better Theme Integration: Improved background color matching with VS Code themes

Initial release with core functionality:
