explicit truthy value, and a truthy master switch does not enable it. While
it is off, all capture is skipped and the logging wrappers are removed.
CAUTION: This configuration is capable of silently recording terminal output and secrets directly to disk. See below for details on how this capture mechanism works, where files are stored, and how to manage its state.

The tmux capture starts automatically when fish launches inside any tmux
pane ($TMUX is set). It uses tmux's native pipe-pane to stream all pane

output directly to disk without an intermediate process. Each fish shell
session gets its own log file; a new log is created on each shell start
(including exec fish and new splits). Before each new log, the oldest
tmux_*.log files are pruned (by modification time) to keep the total within
SCROLLBACK_HISTORY_MAX_FILES, matching the paru/yay wrapper behaviour.

The zellij capture works differently: Zellij has no live output-streaming
facility like pipe-pane, so the log is taken as a one-shot snapshot when the
shell exits, via `zellij action dump-screen --full --ansi` (the --ansi flag
shell exits, via `zellij action dump-screen --full --ansi` (the `--ansi` flag
preserves color). The dump is captured on the fish process's stdout and
written to the log file by fish itself (not via `--path`, which would make the
zellij server write the file). A fish_exit handler (registered whenever
$ZELLIJ is set) writes the pane's full scrollback and then prunes old

The Kitty watcher is managed by the kitty-logging command: it symlinks the
watcher (fish-config-watcher.py) into the Kitty config directory and wires it
into kitty.conf via a managed block. Inside Kitty, a non-blocking

per-session reminder points first-time users at `kitty-logging install` until
they install or run `kitty-logging dismiss`; the reminder is itself gated on
C5, so it stays silent until you enable logging. Install affects new Kitty
