Example: ghostty-vt Tracked Grid References

This contains a simple example of how to use the ghostty-vt terminal and tracked grid reference APIs to keep a long-lived reference to a cell as the terminal scrolls, detect when that reference loses its meaningful location, and move the same tracked handle to a new point.

This uses a build.zig and Zig to build the C program so that we can reuse a lot of our build logic and depend directly on our source tree, but Ghostty emits a standard C library that can be used with any C tooling.

Usage

Run the program:

zig build run
