Mitchell Hashimoto Proposes New Terminal Protocol for Program Status

Original: A Terminal Protocol for Program Status (OSC 7501) https://mitchellh.com/writing/program-status-osc7501 # Programming # T

Mitchell Hashimoto has published a proposal for OSC 7501, a new terminal escape sequence protocol that would let programs report status information like progress and running state directly to the terminal. The write-up explains the design and motivation, and developers are discussing the idea on forums like Lobsters, debating how terminals and command-line tools should communicate program state.

Why now: Terminal protocols affect many developers, and a new standard proposal from a well-known engineer naturally sparks technical debate.
