A Terminal Protocol for Program Status: OSC 7501

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

Mitchell Hashimoto has proposed OSC 7501, a new terminal escape-sequence protocol that lets command-line programs report structured progress and status information to the terminal. The writeup explains how the protocol would allow tools like builds, downloads and installs to display consistent progress indicators without each program inventing its own output format.

Why now: Terminal users and developers are interested in a standardised way for CLI tools to communicate progress and status.
