Mitchell Hashimoto Proposes Terminal Protocol for Program Status

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

Mitchell Hashimoto has proposed OSC 7501, a new escape sequence protocol that would let command-line programs report structured status information directly to terminals. The proposal would standardise how long-running tools communicate progress, state and output to terminal emulators, potentially improving the experience of running complex jobs in the command line. Developers are debating the design, its adoption prospects and how emulator makers might implement it.

Why now: Terminal protocols and developer tooling proposals from a well-known engineer like Hashimoto draw immediate discussion among programmers.
