🎯 Use case

This file lives under β€œink/”, which covers Ink terminal UI (layouts, TTY IO, keyboard, renderer components). On the API surface it exposes OSC_PREFIX, ST, osc, wrapForMultiplexer, and ClipboardPath (and more) β€” mainly functions, hooks, or classes. Dependencies touch buffer. It composes internal code from utils, ansi, and types (relative imports). What the file header says: OSC (Operating System Command) Types and Parser.

Generated from folder role, exports, dependency roots, and inline comments β€” not hand-reviewed for every path.

 * When inside tmux ($TMUX set), `tmux load-buffer -w -` is the primary
 * path. tmux's buffer is always reachable β€” works over SSH, survives
 * detach/reattach, immune to stale env vars. The -w flag (tmux 3.2+) tells
 * tmux to also propagate to the outer terminal via its own OSC 52 path,
 * which tmux wraps correctly for the attached client. On older tmux, -w is
 * ignored and the buffer is still loaded. -w is dropped for iTerm2 (#22432)
 * because tmux's own OSC 52 emission (empty selection param: ESC]52;;b64)
 * crashes iTerm2 over SSH.
 *
 * After load-buffer succeeds, we ALSO return a DCS-passthrough-wrapped
 * OSC 52 for the caller to write to stdout. Our sequence uses explicit `c`
 * (not tmux's crashy empty-param variant), so it sidesteps the #22432 path.
 * With `allow-passthrough on` + an OSC-52-capable outer terminal, selection
 * reaches the system clipboard; with either off, tmux silently drops the
 * DCS and prefix+] still works. See Greg Smith's "free pony" in
 * https://anthropic.slack.com/archives/C07VBSHV7EV/p1773177228548119.
 *
 * If load-buffer fails entirely, fall through to raw OSC 52.
 *
 * Outside tmux, write raw OSC 52 to stdout (caller handles the write).
 *
 * Local (no SSH_CONNECTION): also shell out to a native clipboard utility.
 * OSC 52 and tmux -w both depend on terminal settings β€” iTerm2 disables
 * OSC 52 by default, VS Code shows a permission prompt on first use. Native
 * utilities (pbcopy/wl-copy/xclip/xsel/clip.exe) always work locally. Over
 * SSH these would write to the remote clipboard β€” OSC 52 is the right path there.
