Detect the kitty graphics protocol alongside sixel in the terminal probe and prefer it when available. Kitty transmits full RGBA pixels directly, so color and transparency are preserved without palette quantization. sentry api renders image attachments via kitty first, falling back to sixel on older terminals. SENTRY_NO_SIXEL disables both. Fixes #1482
/ now accept either (sixel) or , so kitty-only terminals still get a real pixel budget instead of falling back to the 800 px default. Fixes the bug reported by sentry[bot] / cursor[bot].
Renames SENTRY_NO_SIXEL to SENTRY_NO_GRAPHICS (old name kept as a deprecated alias) now that the toggle governs both kitty and sixel, and adds a persistent `sentry cli defaults graphics on/off` setting. Inline graphics are opt-out: capable terminals render images by default. Removes the dashboard-specific opt-in (--sixel flag, SENTRY_DASHBOARD_SIXEL, timeseries_sixel displayType). `sentry dashboard view` now renders as a graphics canvas on capable terminals via the same global setting, preferring kitty and falling back to sixel. Detection stays env-only so the --help banner never opens the database; the stored graphics preference is read only in the TTY-gated image paths.
sixelBanner only called optedOut(), so a persisted `graphics off` preference still emitted the sixel help banner. Now it also checks getGraphicsPreference() === false, matching canRenderSixel / canRenderKitty and the documented semantics of the preference.

Adds support for the kitty graphics protocol alongside the existing sixel rendering. Newer terminals (kitty, WezTerm, Ghostty, recent Konsole) prefer kitty, which transmits full RGBA pixels directly — preserving color and transparency without palette quantization. The terminal probe now detects kitty via its graphics query, and
sentry apirenders image attachments via kitty when available, falling back to sixel on older terminals.SENTRY_NO_SIXELdisables both.Sixel is kept as the fallback rather than dropped: it remains the only option on terminals that don't speak kitty.
