When cell count N changes the layout auto-rebalances ( cols = ⌈√N⌉, rows = ⌈N/cols⌉, cols ≥ rows ), each cell carries its own cwd/env, and input can broadcast to all cells. It inherits Ghostty's engine (SIMD parser, Metal/OpenGL, per-terminal threads) unchanged. Zig shared core, native Swift on macOS, GTK on Linux. Beta status — grid mode is the only implemented direction. Two further directions are planned, not yet built : a structured agent I/O channel alongside PTY (roadmap P3) and a per-PR perf budget vs the Ghostty baseline (roadmap P4). They are described below as roadmap, not as shipped features. [!NOTE] Part of the dancinlab n = 6 family — hexagonal icon, sibling to NEXUS, Anima, N6, and HEXA-LANG. Void is a UX divergence from Ghostty, not a drop-in replacement; upstream syncs are selective cherry-picks only and full Ghostty history/credit is preserved. At a glance Why void Three things upstream Ghostty treats as explicit non-goals — Void forks to take exactly these bets. 1.
