zmx.shInfrastructure

zmx is a lightweight terminal session persistence tool that allows users to attach and detach from running shell sessions without killing them. It preserves full terminal state, scrollback history, and supports multiple simultaneous clients. Unlike tmux, it focuses purely on session survival and works natively with common shells and SSH workflows on macOS and Linux.
