Task: Add a detached mode

Table of Contents

This page documents a task in the Infrastructure features story. It captures the goal, current status, acceptance, and any notes or results.

Goal

Add a user-preference for detached sub-windows. Today the user has to detach each window manually; let them opt-in to detached as the default.

Acceptance

  • A setting selects detached vs attached as the default for new sub-windows.
  • Setting persists across sessions.

Plan

(Plan was distilled into the parent story's * Decisions and cleared when the task closed.)

Notes

  • Total time spent in v0: ~1:18.
  • v0 notes: reattach was removed earlier to avoid ownership issues; this task only addresses the default new-window behaviour.

Result

Detached-mode preference shipped.
