Context

set-titles-string is currently #h ❐ #S ● #I #W. The Claude session state is
not reflected in the OS-level window/tab title, so Ghostty's tab strip and the
macOS window list don't show whether a session is busy/blocked when tmux is
backgrounded.

Proposal

Fold @claude_status into the title so the state glyph appears in the Ghostty
tab and OS window title even when tmux isn't on screen.

Implementation sketch

  • Update set-titles-string in dot_config/tmux/tmux.conf.local.tmpl to prepend
    a state glyph derived from @claude_status (reuse the format-conditional style
    already used in window-status-format).
  • Verify Ghostty renders the title promptly (it honours title OSC live).

Effort

Small (one format string), some fiddling to get the conditional glyph right.
