Do macOS terminals have $TERM set to xterm/xterm-256color or something else? (oops, wish I had a macOS env again)

I use ghostty (there's config options to automatically set either xterm-256color on servers or copy the terminfo automatically)

So what was the fix?
Well, I had these 3 lines commented out:
# set -g terminal-overrides ',xterm-256color:Tc'
# set -g default-terminal "tmux-256color"
# set -as terminal-overrides ',xterm*:sitm=\E[3m'
so i uncommented them. And now, I feel like ive been living a lie. but for how long?

Make your remote session work properly when using Ghostty with this command: export TERM=xterm-256color
By example:
> export TERM=xterm-256color
> sudo -s
By example:
> export TERM=xterm-256color
> sudo -s

eventually yeah but also a ghostty setting for setting up the env automatically for systems that can use xterm-ghostty (i have a multihop environment so i made an ssh alias on the root remote that applies 256color)

and no shell-integration-features = ssh-terminfo,ssh-env doesn't work (as if i should have to have my terminal emulator deliver a message to every box i use telling it 'here's who i am') so i have to SetEnv TERM=xterm-256color like a noob

Is #emacs 31.1 breaking Term for anyone else? It is totally nonfunctional and spewing this message over and over again:
`error in process filter: eterm-256color-handle-ansi-escape: Wrong type argument: fixnump, nil`
`error in process filter: eterm-256color-handle-ansi-escape: Wrong type argument: fixnump, nil`

Heh.
I even toyed with converting VGA text mode dumps to ANSI escape sequences when I was writing a PC XT emulator. It looked good, especially the shadows (using xterm-256color also helped).

the thing that `shell-integration-features = ssh-env` claims to do (replace TERM=xterm-ghostty with TERM=xterm-256color), does not in fact work
