> Might be $TERM needs to be set or you need to add ghostty to terminfo
Yeah, except that the specific terminfo needed for ghostty isn't installed anywhere on the boxes you ssh into ... you need to manually install it on everysingle one of them.
That in and of itself makes it truly painful to switch to ghostty.
And there are still a lot of other issues, like e.g. building the tip is a freaking nightmare of dependencies and weird issues (hard reliance on specific versions of the zig compiler and of something called "blueprint compiler", etc...)

Yeah this is going to be an issue with any of the newer terminal emulators. No big deal. Updating terminfo is easy. If you can't then just set TERM=xterm

Nah, the issue is your lack of experience and understanding of the basics is terminals.
I don't think you've used Ghostty in a while. It has auto installing terminfo when ssh-ing.
Also, every program ever depends on a certain version of a compiler, so I don't understand this complaint. Ghostty requires Zig 0.14. That's it, not a specific compiler hash. blueprint-compiler is packaged for pretty much every distribution these days.

As for $TERM, you can simply default it to `xterm-256color` which is more than enough
