Tithon lets Jupyter kernels keep running after VSCode disconnects

A new open-source tool called Tithon decouples Jupyter kernel execution from the client, running the kernel and streaming its output through a host-side daemon instead of the editor process. This means closing VSCode, losing SSH, or shutting a laptop no longer kills a long-running notebook session, and reconnecting restores the full output history rather than a blank slate. It also stores notebooks as compact .py files with real image outputs instead of bloated .ipynb JSON, making them easier for AI agents to read.
