Why
Long-running builds/tests can fail silently in background panes. Tmux supports hooks/options that can surface activity and command failures with minimal noise.
Scope
- Add alert workflow using tmux hooks/options (
monitor-activity, command-error, pane-died as appropriate)
- Add visual cues in status/window styles for attention-needed panes
- Keep behaviour lightweight and non-spammy
- Ensure compatibility with current status scripts and mode indicator setup
Acceptance criteria
- Background pane activity/failures are visibly surfaced
- Alerts are actionable but not noisy
- Existing status bar behaviour remains readable on narrow widths
- Any new keybindings/options are documented in
~/.config/tmux/help.md
