Greptile Summary

This PR reverts the -i (interactive shell) flag from the Ghostty adapter that was introduced in #25976, and adds a new ghosttyOpenBehavior preference allowing users to open Claude Code in a new Ghostty tab via AppleScript GUI scripting instead of a new window. The tab path correctly uses GUI scripting with System Events to simulate Cmd+T and paste the command from the clipboard.

Key changes:

• Removes -i flag from open command args to fix unintended session restore and duplicate tab behavior
• Adds ghosttyOpenBehavior dropdown preference ("window" default / "tab") in package.json
• New openInTab() private method in GhosttyAdapter uses AppleScript + System Events GUI scripting (requires macOS Accessibility permissions) to open a tab in the frontmost Ghostty window
• TerminalOpenOptions interface added to types.ts; TerminalAdapter.open() updated to accept optional options

Note: closeMainWindow() is called based solely on the ghosttyOpenBehavior preference without verifying that Ghostty is the currently selected terminal, which can unexpectedly close the Raycast window when a non-Ghostty terminal is active with a stale "tab" preference.

Confidence Score: 2/5

• Not safe to merge without addressing the unguarded closeMainWindow() call.
• The core logic for both the new-window and new-tab paths is sound. The AppleScript approach for tab creation is a reasonable workaround given Ghostty's lack of native IPC. However, closeMainWindow() is triggered based solely on the ghosttyOpenBehavior preference value without checking that Ghostty is actually the active terminal. This can silently close the Raycast window when a user with a stale "tab" preference switches to a different terminal.
• extensions/claude-code-launcher/src/open-claude-code.tsx (add terminal type guard before closeMainWindow() call)
