I don't get it. I don't want a 1970s teletype interface in 2026 just to have persistent command line sessions.
Where's the 2026 windowed version that feels exactly like a native terminal/iTerm/ghostty app but keeps sessions alive and lets me reconnect to them, no middle man with Ctrl keys for control.

There's still no such standard. You either provide a terminal API or build a custom client-server app (GUI + backend). The later means there's no place in your setup for terminal apps which expect a TTY interface (emulated by your terminal app). What are you gonna do about that?
Take a look at headless project management in Zed or JetBrains. They do exactly that -- bring clear separation of concerns in a high-level API so that you don't have to mux/demux everything into/from byte stream like terminal applications do.
