Add a new graphics protocol key, N=1, to request that transmitted image/frame data is kept only in memory and not written to the graphics disk cache file. This is useful for transient high-frequency updates such as video-like streams, where the latest frame is the only useful data and persisting each frame to the disk cache causes unnecessary write traffic. The implementation keeps the existing graphics cache abstraction intact: memory-only entries can still be read back by animation, composition, and frame coalescing paths. Only persistence to the disk cache file is skipped. The default behavior is unchanged when N is omitted or set to zero.
This folder contains library and utility code for the various "kittens". Small terminal programs compiled statically for doing things like kitty remote control, icat etc. These are often re-implementations of earlier kittens that were written in Python.
