### 5/5 — 温度显示错误，默认是APCI温度

### 3/5 — 温度显示错误，默认是APCI温度

*2026-04-17*

CPU温度显示错误，传感器读取不能自定义读取。

### 3/5 — cat一个大文件直接卡死

*2026-04-02*

cat一个大文件直接卡死，一个stdout很快输出流到文件通过tail -f直接卡闪退，终端性能太差了，希望能改进

### 4/5 — 整体很不错，希望尽快改进如下几点

*2026-03-26*

1.输入卡顿，特别是在iSO移动设备上。
2.工作中偶尔崩溃闪退。而且之前的Session无法恢复。
3.OpenCode界面内选择内容无法复制。

### 4/5 — scroll context

*2026-03-15*

When connecting to an Ubuntu server via SSH and running Claude inside a tmux session, there is no scroll context available — I can’t scroll up or down with my finger.  
Outside tmux (running the same command directly), scrolling works perfectly.  
Please fix scroll behavior inside tmux sessions — this is important for working with interactive CLI tools like Claude or chat-based interfaces.

### 5/5 — One of the best apps period
