alt-enter Terminal.app binding opens restored windows plus one extra after Cmd+Q

Issue with Terminal.app Binding

I noticed an issue with the current Apple Terminal binding example that uses:

alt-enter = '''exec-and-forget osascript -e '
tell application "Terminal"
do script
activate
end tell'
'''

This works fine when Terminal.app is already running. However, if Terminal.app is quit with Cmd+Q while it has open windows, macOS restores those windows on the next launch. Then do script creates one additional window.

Example:

1. Open Terminal.app with one window.
2. Quit Terminal.app using Cmd+Q.
3. Press the AeroSpace binding.
4. Terminal.app opens two windows: one restored window + one new window from do script.

If Terminal.app had two open windows before Cmd+Q, the binding opens three windows, and so on.

Proposed Workaround

A workaround that fixed it for me is to use open -F -a Terminal when Terminal is not running, and only use do script when Terminal is already running:

alt-enter = '''exec-and-forget bash -lc '
if pgrep -qx Terminal; then
osascript -e "tell application \"Terminal\" to do script \"\"" -e "tell application \"Terminal\" to activate"
else
open -F -a Terminal
fi
'
'''

Expected Behavior:

• Terminal not running: Open one fresh Terminal window without restoring previous windows.
• Terminal running with no windows: Create one new window.
• Terminal running with existing windows: Create one additional window and focus Terminal.

Would it make sense to add this as an alternative Terminal.app example in the docs?
