Great write-up. And, thanks mitchellh for Ghostty, I switched to it last year, and have not regretted it.

However, I am a somewhat surprised that the fix is reserved for a feature release in a couple of months. I would have expected this to be included in a bug fix release.

It's already released in the latest nightly build.

Are the nightly releases the expected way to get timely bugfixes?

That is how software releases generally work. AFAICT this is not a bug with broad impact or security implications.

I guess thats arguable, a memory leak can make a system unpleasant to use although I accept it can be solved by repeatedly restarting the offending app.

Yes, if you want fixes as soon as they're committed, rather than waiting for a more regular release that might be tested and more stable.
