Hero copy:
- Hook: "So many terminals. Which one needs attention?"
- Reveal: "A dormouse / knows when / to wake up."
- Footnote: "Multitasking terminal for mice (and hotkey wizards too)"
(demoted from headline to footnote)
Body copy MouseTerm → Dormouse throughout Home, SiteHeader brand text,
Dependencies copy, NotifySignupForm button ("Tether ships" → "Pocket ships").
Coming-next section reframed as Dormouse Pocket; image alt updated.
Install steps and artifact filenames flipped to Dormouse-*. Marketplace
URLs point to diffplug.dormouse (publish target).
HTML head + og:/twitter: meta refreshed with new title, description,
site_name, canonical, and dormouse.sh URLs.

- pages/Tether.tsx → pages/Pocket.tsx
- Route /tether → /pocket
- All internal symbols (Tether* → Pocket*, TETHER_* → POCKET_*) and
CSS body classes (tether-marketing-body → pocket-marketing-body,
tether-terminal-body → pocket-terminal-body)
- Share title, aria-label, and page body updated to "Dormouse Pocket"
- "Tether" kept as the verb in body copy
("Tether a terminal session to your phone…")

vscode-ext/package.json:
- name: mouseterm → dormouse
- displayName: "Dormouse — Terminal Multiplexer"
(descriptive suffix for marketplace SEO; brand is "Dormouse" elsewhere)
- description rewritten with persistence + alert framing
- homepage → dormouse.sh
- All command IDs mouseterm.* → dormouse.*
- Command titles "MouseTerm: …" → "Dormouse: …"
- View container + view IDs (mouseterm-panel/view → dormouse-panel/view)
- activationEvents updated
- Keywords: added "dormouse" and "persistent"
- vsix output filename + dogfood script names
vscode-ext/src/*.ts:
- MouseTermViewProvider → DormouseViewProvider
- All command registrations and the executeCommand("…view.focus")
call updated to dormouse.* IDs
- Webview panel serializer + createWebviewPanel viewType: mouseterm
→ dormouse
- Warning messages "MouseTerm:" → "Dormouse:"
- Output channel name → "Dormouse"
- Storage keys: mouseterm.session, mouseterm.selectedShellPath →
dormouse.session, dormouse.selectedShellPath (userbase=0, no migration)
Cross-cutting message-type rename (extension ↔ webview wire protocol):
- All `mouseterm:*` ExtensionMessage / WebviewMessage discriminators
→ `dormouse:*` (init, saveState, flushSessionSave[Done], newTerminal,
selectedShell, openThemeDebugger)
- Lib side: vscode-adapter.ts (+ test), Wall.tsx window event
("mouseterm:new-terminal" → "dormouse:new-terminal"), ThemeDebugger
OPEN_THEME_DEBUGGER_EVENT constant
Lib-side miscellany:
- themes/store.ts localStorage keys
("mouseterm:installed-themes/active-theme" → "dormouse:…")
- ansi.ts playground PROMPT visual: user@mouseterm → user@dormouse
- KillModal story content + Playground.tsx comment matched
- shell-defaults.ts comment
Internal TS type `MouseTermTheme` left as-is — purely internal, 27-site
cascade, no user-facing impact. Separate refactor.

tauri.conf.json:
- productName: MouseTerm → Dormouse
(this is what produces Dormouse.app / Dormouse-windows-x64-setup.exe /
Dormouse-linux-x86_64.AppImage on next bundle build)
- identifier: com.mouseterm.standalone → sh.dormouse.standalone
(userbase=0, no migration concern)
- Window title: Dormouse
- Updater endpoint URL → dormouse.sh
Rust crate rename (Cargo.toml):
- [package] name: mouseterm → dormouse
- [package] description rewritten
- [lib] name: mouseterm_lib → dormouse_lib
- main.rs entry call: dormouse_lib::run()
- lib.rs: log dir / log file names (~/Library/Logs/Dormouse/dormouse.log,
%LOCALAPPDATA%/Dormouse/dormouse.log, /tmp/dormouse.log fallback)
- lib.rs: window event "mouseterm://files-dropped" →
"dormouse://files-dropped"
- lib.rs: panic message + temp-dir test prefix
- Test fixture paths (\\Users\\…\\Local\\Dormouse\\…)
Frontend / Tauri JS bridge:
- standalone/index.html <title>
- AppBar.tsx: window event "mouseterm:new-terminal" →
"dormouse:new-terminal"
- tauri-adapter.ts: matching files-dropped listener, STATE_KEY
("mouseterm.session" → "dormouse.session")
- updater.ts: STORAGE_KEY ("dormouse:update-result"), changelog URL
(mouseterm.com → dormouse.sh); GitHub repo URL left as-is (repo not
renamed in this pass)
- updater.test.ts: matching STORAGE_KEY + changelog URL expectations
Capability description:
- standalone/src-tauri/capabilities/default.json
scripts/dogfood.sh:
- Install dirs ($LOCALAPPDATA/Dormouse, /Applications/Dormouse.app)
- Bundle filename patterns (Dormouse_*-setup.exe, Dormouse_*.dmg)
- Binary names ($RELEASE_DIR/dormouse, dormouse.exe)
- PowerShell process filter -Name dormouse,node
- The `pnpm --filter mouseterm-standalone` workspace filter stays —
npm package names are internal infrastructure, not renamed in this
pass
Internal npm/pnpm workspace package names left as-is (mouseterm-lib,
mouseterm-standalone, mouseterm-sidecar) — purely internal, no
user-facing impact; separate refactor.

Root README:
- Title and tagline reframed: "A dormouse knows when to wake up.
Multitasking terminal for mice (and hotkey wizards too)."
- Opening paragraph re-anchors with the homepage hook ("So many
terminals — which one needs attention?")
- Try-it links updated to dormouse.sh and the new marketplace IDs

build:vscode and dogfood:vscode used --filter mouseterm to match the vscode-ext package name. That was renamed to "dormouse" in vscode-ext/package.json; update the filters to match. Workspace filters for mouseterm-lib, mouseterm-standalone, mouseterm-website, mouseterm-root remain unchanged (internal package names). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Workspace package names renamed (private packages, internal only —
no published npm-registry impact):
- mouseterm-root → dormouse-root (package.json)
- mouseterm-lib → dormouse-lib (lib/package.json)
- mouseterm-standalone → dormouse-standalone (standalone/package.json)
- mouseterm-website → dormouse-website (website/package.json)
- mouseterm-sidecar → dormouse-sidecar (standalone/sidecar/package.json)
Cascading updates:
Imports (TS/TSX): every `from "mouseterm-lib/…"` and dynamic
`import("mouseterm-lib/…")` → `from "dormouse-lib/…"` across lib,
standalone, and website source/test files.
Path / alias mappings:
- standalone/tsconfig.json, website/tsconfig.json, lib/tsconfig.app.json:
path mappings keyed on "mouseterm-lib/*" → "dormouse-lib/*"
- standalone/vite.config.ts, standalone/vitest.config.ts,
website/vite.config.ts: alias keys
- lib/.storybook/main.ts: any moduleNameMapper / alias
`workspace:*` deps:
- standalone/package.json + website/package.json: dependency entry
"mouseterm-lib" → "dormouse-lib"
pnpm `--filter` references:
- root package.json scripts (build/build:vscode/dev:lib/dev:website/
dev:standalone/build:standalone/build:website/storybook)
- .github/workflows/release.yml (--filter dormouse-lib test)
- standalone/scripts/dogfood.sh
- docs/specs/deploy.md, docs/specs/vscode.md, docs/specs/tutorial.md
- .claude/settings.json permission allowlist patterns
pnpm-lock.yaml regenerated via `pnpm install`.
Verified: all 514 tests pass (lib 460, website 38, standalone 16);
dev server serves /, /pocket, /playground with 200 OK and the build
output reports `dormouse-root@ dev:website` / `dormouse-website@0.1.0
predev`.

…iginal word reveal The hook now contains three lines instead of two: 1. "So many busy terminals." (visible on load) 2. "Which needs attention?" (visible on load) 3. "A dormouse knows when to wake." (revealed during icon climb) Line 3 fades in via a new scroll-driven span (dormouseLineRef) tied to the icon-rise progress. New constants control the timing: DORMOUSE_LINE_REVEAL_START = 0.25 // starts fading in at 25% climb DORMOUSE_LINE_REVEAL_END = 0.55 // fully visible at 55% climb Once the climb finishes, the existing HOOK_FADE_REMAINING fade drops the whole 3-line block at once. The word reveal returns to the original copy, timing, and size: - "Multitasking" / "terminal" / "for mice (caramel)" - footnote: "(and hotkey wizards too)" - size: text-[clamp(2.5rem,5vw+0.5rem,4rem)] - WORD_THRESHOLDS [0.25, 0.40, 0.55] unchanged Hook size stays at the smaller clamp(2rem,…,3.5rem) since line 3 is longer than the original two-line hook, but the reveal is now back to the larger original clamp. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
At display sizes (clamp 2-3.5rem) with default line-height (~1.4), wrapped text inside a single <span> opens a gap roughly equal to gap-2 between sibling <span>s. The two distances become indistinguishable, so the eye can't tell which lines belong together. - leading-tight (1.25) on the hook container so wrapped text in a single line hugs together (~8px wrap gap at 32px mobile font) - gap-2 → gap-3 so the inter-span gap (12px) is clearly larger than the wrap gap, restoring the 1.5× hierarchy - Drop the dormouse line's mt-2: the opacity reveal already signals "new line"; uniform rhythm reads cleaner than a manual nudge Picks up the live-edited hook copy (lines 1–2 with opacity-80 to weight attention toward the dormouse reveal, "Which ones need attention?"). Dormouse line stays at "A dormouse knows when to wake." — the product alerts/wakes you; it doesn't put anything to sleep, so the verb pair "sleep + wake" would overclaim.

Previously the third hook line lived inside hookRef, so when the hook container faded out (during the icon's last 10% climb) all three lines went together. With the new structure, lines 1+2 sit inside hookRef and the dormouse line is a sibling at the layout level — its opacity is driven independently. Timeline: - icon climb 25% → 55%: dormouse line fades in - icon's last 10% : hookRef (lines 1+2) fades up and out - dormouse holds at 1.0 through the gap - runway fraction 0.17 → 0.25: dormouse fades out and translates up - runway fraction 0.25: "Multitasking" begins to pop in (unchanged) The fade-out range ends exactly at WORD_THRESHOLDS[0] so the dormouse is gone the instant the word reveal starts — handing the stage off cleanly. Added two new constants (DORMOUSE_LINE_FADE_OUT_START / END) and a will-change-transform on both fading layers so the compositor keeps their layers warm during the animation.

The scroll smoother (HERO_SCROLL_HALFLIFE_S = 0.06) settles asymptotically near each threshold. Opacity values like 0.004 leave a ghost of the element rendered: visually a "hair off transparent", and worse, any non-zero opacity disables the browser's `opacity: 0` compositor fast-path so the ghost is sometimes painted and sometimes not — the inconsistency that read as a race condition on scroll-up. Add a `snapProgress(p, eps = 0.005)` helper that rounds 0..1 values within eps of an endpoint to exactly 0 or 1, and apply it everywhere syncScrollState writes opacity: - the three word reveals (Multitasking / terminal / for mice) - the footnote - the header brand fade - the hook (lines 1+2) fade-out - the dormouse line's combined fade-in × fade-out Transforms are left raw — sub-pixel translateY drift is imperceptible and not subject to the same compositor edge case. The header backgroundColor/blur both scale off the snapped headerProgress, so they also lock to clean 0 at the bottom of their range.

In a stock xterm.js terminal, Shift+Enter and Enter both send `\r`, so TUIs like Claude Code can't bind them differently and both submit. Upgrading @xterm/xterm to a 6.1.0 beta and opting into `vtExtensions.kittyKeyboard` lets the terminal advertise the kitty keyboard protocol; when the inner program negotiates it, modified keys round-trip as distinct CSI u sequences.

Cargo.toml's [package].name became `dormouse` in the earlier rebrand commit. Running `cargo check` regenerates the lockfile's package entry; commit that so CI's `--frozen-lockfile` doesn't trip. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Home.md (new): canonical marketing-copy reference for the homepage.
Native markdown — `##` headings then prose, no metadata labels — so
it reads as the actual marketing voice. Keep in sync with Home.tsx
when copy changes.
README.md: swap the inline hero image to website/public/og-image.jpg
(the 3D dormouse-and-terminal social card), restructure the Try-it
links into Playground / VS Code marketplace / Standalone, and trim
the lead paragraphs.
Home.tsx — feature sections:
- Reorder to match Home.md: tmux first, then alerts, then copy-paste.
- Section 1 "Soft as a mouse, sharp as a tmux" (was last): leads
with the big clamp(1.5rem,2.5vw+0.5rem,2.25rem) heading inside a
`max-w-2xl` text well, sitting over a `max-w-5xl` full-width
tmux video. New body copy: "Upgrade your VS Code or native
terminal with a flexible multipane layout. Minimize the tasks
you're not watching to a compact status indicator."
- Section 2 "Stop watching terminals spin" (was first): two-column
`max-w-5xl grid-cols-[3fr_2fr]` with alert video on the left.
Append BEL / OSC 9/99/777 support to the second paragraph.
- Section 3 "Newlines and copy paste like you meant" (was middle,
retitled): two-column `grid-cols-[2fr_3fr]`. New opening
paragraph about Shift+Enter; drop the trailing
"Dormouse lets you copy paste like a human" line.
Home.tsx — hero animation:
- Pull hookFadeProgress out of the hookRef-only block so the dormouse
line can share it. Dormouse fadeIn = hookFadeProgress: as lines
1+2 fade out the dormouse fades in by the exact same amount.
Perfect crossfade instead of the earlier mid-climb reveal.
- Drop the now-unused DORMOUSE_LINE_REVEAL_START / END constants;
keep DORMOUSE_LINE_FADE_OUT_* for the later handoff to
"Multitasking".
Note: README.md line 11 has an in-flight phrase that may need a
follow-up edit ("with standard terminal .,mn,.mn.,mn").
