zmx: session persistence for terminal processes

SMRTR summary

zmx is a lightweight terminal session persistence tool that provides attach/detach functionality without window management features like tmux. Built in Zig, it focuses solely on keeping shell sessions alive across disconnections while preserving terminal state and scrollback. The tool integrates well with SSH workflows and defers window management to your OS, avoiding redundant functionality and terminal feature limitations.
