mod.rs

1//! Session state types for save/restore on startup.
2//!
3//! This module provides **automatic session persistence**: save the current window
4//! layout, tabs, and pane splits on clean exit, then restore them on next launch.
5//!
6//! # Relationship to `crate::arrangements`
7//!
8//! par-term has two overlapping session persistence mechanisms:
9//!
10//! | Feature | Module | Trigger | Scope |
11//! |---------|--------|---------|-------|
12//! | Auto session restore | `crate::session` (this module) | Automatic on clean exit / next launch | Last-session state only (single slot) |
13//! | Named arrangements | `crate::arrangements` | User-initiated save/restore via UI | Multiple named snapshots, monitor-aware |
14//!
15//! Both capture window positions, sizes, tab CWDs, and tab titles using similar
16//! serialization patterns (serde JSON via `storage` submodule). The key distinction
17//! is lifecycle: session state is ephemeral (overwritten on each clean exit), while
18//! arrangements are user-named and persist indefinitely.
19//!
20//! # Crash recovery
21//!
22//! Neither of those survives a panic: both are written on the way out, and a
23//! panicking process never gets there. [`crash_guard`] adds a third file,
24//! `crash_session.yaml`, written from a panic hook out of a snapshot the event
25//! loop publishes periodically. It is deliberately a separate file — a process
26//! that has just panicked must not overwrite the good session — and
27//! `WindowManager::restore_session` prefers it when present, then deletes it.
28//! Read that module's header before changing anything here: it is explicit about
29//! which panic classes it covers and which it cannot.
30//!
31//! # Shared types
32//!
33//! The common per-tab fields (`cwd`, `title`, `custom_color`, `user_title`,
34//! `custom_icon`) are defined once in [`par_term_config::snapshot_types::TabSnapshot`]
35//! and are embedded into [`SessionTab`] via `#[serde(flatten)]`.  The arrangements
36//! module re-exports the same type directly, eliminating the previous duplication.
37//! Existing YAML session files are fully backward-compatible — all fields remain at
38//! the same nesting level.
