Add windows support in strider (#4854) * Add Windows path support to strider plugin Strider is a WASM plugin where std::path::PathBuf uses Unix semantics, so Windows backslash paths break parent(), join(), strip_prefix(), etc. Fix by normalizing all incoming paths to forward slashes at plugin boundaries and converting back to native backslashes for display. A new platform.rs module detects the host OS at runtime from the initial_cwd format and centralizes all platform-aware logic. Also fix scan_host_folder on the server side: canonicalize plugin_host_folder so the starts_with security check works on Windows, where canonicalize() adds the \?\ prefix. * Add virtual root view for drive and WSL navigation in strider On Windows, navigating up from a drive root (e.g. C:\) now shows a "Computer" view listing all available drives and WSL distributions. Drives are enumerated via GetLogicalDriveStringsW and WSL distros via `wsl -l -q` (since read_dir on \wsl.localhost fails with OS error 64/67). Drive letters appear before WSL entries, which are displayed as "Ubuntu-24.04 (WSL)" etc. On non-Windows platforms, behavior is unchanged. * Rename ListHostEntries to ListWindowsVolumes and gate behind FullHdAccess The old name was misleading — on Unix it just returned `/`, which isn't "listing host entries." Rename to ListWindowsVolumes to make the Windows-specific intent explicit, gate behind FullHdAccess permission, and replace the Unix implementation with a log::error since the command is not meaningful on non-Windows platforms. * Replace direct array indexing with .get() in strider platform detection Use safe accessors and matches! macro instead of direct byte indexing for bounds-checked access patterns. --------- Co-authored-by: divens <divens.dev@gmail.com>

feat(cli): add --pane-id option to dump-screen action (#4598) * feat(cli): add --pane-id option to dump-screen action Adds the ability to dump a specific terminal pane's content by passing `--pane-id <ID>` to the `dump-screen` CLI action. When omitted, the existing behavior of dumping the focused pane is preserved. This enables coding agents running inside Zellij to inspect the content of other panes programmatically, without needing complex workarounds. Prior art: https://github.com/theslyprofessor/zellij-pane-tracker, whose design complexity is due to current limitations that this PR addresses. * address review * improve man page entry

feat: add per-pane default foreground/background color support (#4737) * feat: add per-pane default foreground/background color support Add per-pane default foreground and background colors, configurable through four surfaces: - OSC 10/11 escape sequences (set/query) and OSC 110/111 (reset) - CLI action: zellij action set-pane-color --pane-id <id> --fg/--bg - Layout config: default_fg/default_bg properties on pane nodes - Plugin API: set_pane_color() SDK function and PaneInfo read-side Colors are applied at render time as a fallback when cells have no explicit foreground/background, without mutating stored grid data. Closes #4712 * refactor: address review feedback for pane color support - Extract adjust_styles_for_custom_bg_fg in output/mod.rs - Move color parsing (xparse_color) from tab into Grid - Move color serialization (ansi_code_to_color_string) into Grid - Pane trait now uses Option<String> for color getters/setters - Add colors to session serialization (dump-layout) - Add default_fg/default_bg to protobuf IPC schema to fix layout-in-session color loss - Update example layout with tab-bar and status-bar * fix stack overflow and ordering * rustfmt * update e2e snapshots --------- Co-authored-by: Karl Bunch <karl@karlbunch.com> Co-authored-by: Aram Drevekenin <aram@poor.dev>
