Is there a macOS terminal emulator, preferably an opensource one, that will respect $SHELL on each invocation? I gave iTerm2 and kitty a try, but they seem to ignore a test $SHELL. Each new tab from a given terminal emulator gives a new tty logfile, and a new shell on the remote host again over ssh.

I mostly use it to start terminal emulators that'll do a script(1)-like tty log locally, while giving interactive access to a remote host over ssh. It's mostly about running commands on remote hosts (mostly X11 graphical applications, but some interactive shells), a little like putty, but with predefined hosts and commands. I have an old application I've been using on Linux for a quite a while that I like very much, and I'd like to use it on macOS sometimes.
