Description

It seems shpool happily passes on escape sequences to the outer shell, which makes it work great with kitty's graphics protocol. But I guess it doesn't save those escape sequences, and so if I disconnect and reconnect, the images are lost. It probably doesn't make sense to store all escape sequences, but storing specifically those for the graphics protocol would be amazing.

Research direction

Read the kitty graphics protocol documentation linked in the issue, then inspect how shpool currently passes terminal escape sequences through and handles reconnects. Define which graphics-protocol sequences must be retained and verify that kitty images survive a disconnect and reconnect without storing unrelated escape sequences.
