Please do share those million reasons.

So far I can only think of 1: term vulnerabilities due to ANSI escape sequence parser bugs. And that’s exactly the reason I’m suggesting OSC8 should be off by default.

I don't see how that resolves the arbitrary code execution problem.

It vastly reduces what’s possible via social engineering exploits. And in memory safe languages, reduces the scope of what a parser bug might have access to.

I know you’re trying to disagree with me, but you’re ostensibly raising the same core concerns that I am. :)
