### Standards-Compliant Terminal Emulation
I am able to use this terminal as a daily driver. I think that's good enough
for a yellow status. There are a LOT of missing features for full standards
compliance but the set that are regularly in use are working pretty well.
### Competitive Rendering Performance
I want to automate the testing of this, but for now I've manually verified
we can maintain 120fps `cat`-ing a 6MB file. In terms of raw draw speed,
`cat`-ing a 6MB file is consistently faster on Linux using ghostty than
any other terminal emulator currently.
On macOS, `cat`-ing the large file is acceptable performance but not optimal.
I don't know why and need to look into it.
