Split tab clears terminal state and scrollback #648

Description

When I split a tab/pane, the existing terminal session loses its visible state and scrollback. Before splitting, the terminal contains active Claude output, command history, and scroll position. After adding a split tab, the terminal area appears blank/empty, so the previous context is gone from view.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open a terminal/session in Athas.
  2. Run a command that produces output, for example a Claude session or long terminal output.
  3. Scroll within the terminal or leave visible output on screen.
  4. Add a split tab/pane.
  5. Observe the original terminal pane.

Expected behavior:

The terminal should preserve:

  • Active session state
  • Visible output
  • Scrollback buffer
  • Current scroll position, or at least remain near the same terminal context

Actual behavior:

After creating the split tab, the previous terminal state/scrollback disappears from view and the terminal pane becomes blank.

Attachments:

  • Before split: terminal has active output and scrollback
  • After split: terminal state appears cleared/blank
