Subject: [PATCH 3/4] menuband: fix stuck notes when releasing a key with
Ctrl/Option held
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
playKeyEvent's `if hasModifier { return false }` bailed on BOTH key-down and
key-up. On key-up with Ctrl (or Option) still held it returned before the
note-release path, stranding the sounding note/chord — Cmd was unaffected only
because Cmd isn't in `hasModifier`. Gate the passthrough on `isDown` so key-ups
always reach release, matching the method's own "release is checked on EVERY
key-up, not gated by Ctrl" contract.

Subject: [PATCH 4/4] slab: tiled terminals auto-resize font to a readable
floor
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Tiling only set pixel bounds before — the computed grid font size was
stored but never applied, so dense walls clipped at the default 12pt.
- tileNow now sets each Terminal window's font to the grid-derived size,
then drives View ▸ Default Font Size per window (System Events) so a
live window actually adopts it — a per-window zoom otherwise silently
overrides the profile font and is invisible to AppleScript. Bounds are
re-pinned last so the reflow can't fight the cell geometry.
- applyTerminalDecor pins the slab profile font to lastTiledFontSize so a
re-theme on the blink tick doesn't bounce back to 12pt.
- setTextFar/Near/Tiny update the snapshot synchronously so the first
click tiles at the chosen size (refresh() is an async gather).
- Readable floors: Far 10 / Near 9 / Tiny 8 — auto-fit shrinks toward
them but never past legibility.
- Auto-retile-after-close skips the focus-stealing zoom reset.
