Mitchell Hashimoto Proposes Terminal Protocol for Program Status

Original: A Terminal Protocol for Program Status (OSC 7501)

Engineer Mitchell Hashimoto has published a proposal for OSC 7501, a new terminal escape-sequence protocol that would let command-line programs report structured status information to terminals. The writeup is drawing attention among developers and terminal enthusiasts, who are debating how programs and terminal emulators could communicate progress and state more richly than plain text output allows.

Why now: The developer community is discussing a technical proposal that could change how terminals display program status.
