README

Excerpt

cmux Socket Policy

Threading policy

Do not use DispatchQueue.main.sync for high-frequency socket telemetry commands such as report_*, ports_kick, status/progress updates, or log metadata updates.
For telemetry hot paths, parse and validate arguments off-main.
Dedupe and coalesce off-main first.
Schedule minimal UI/model mutation with DispatchQueue.main.async only when needed.
Commands that directly manipulate AppKit/Ghostty UI state are allowed to run on the main actor.
If adding a new socket command, default to off-main handling and require an explicit reason in code comments when main-thread execution is necessary.

Focus policy
