Integrated terminal, milestone M0 (docs/terminal/13-roadmap.md). Design and research live in docs/terminal/.

What's included

  • Core: libghostty-vt pinned at ghostty b3dc3d7 plus overlays O1–O4 (native/ghostty/overlays), built with Zig 0.16.0 (tools/terminal/build-ghostty.sh). C# facade TCode.Terminal.Core: write, resize, modes, plain-text export, snapshot round trip, frame capture.
  • PTY: libtcodepty and the tcode-pty-spawn helper for Unix (posix_spawn, pidfd/kqueue exit watching, gather reads), plus a ConPTY implementation for Windows (TCode.Terminal.Pty).
  • View: TCode.Terminal.Avalonia.TerminalView, drawn in Control.Render, with a headless snapshot test.
  • AOT: tcode-ptyhost --self-test (NativeAOT) checks core parsing, the overlays, snapshots, a PTY round trip, and running vim.
  • StreamMark is now a git submodule (external/StreamMark). The NuGet source moved to packages/streammark (tools/streammark/pack.sh).
  • CI: .github/workflows/terminal.yml builds the native libraries (Linux/Windows cross-compiled with zig, macOS on a macOS runner) and runs tests and the AOT self-test on Linux, macOS and Windows.

Verified locally (osx-arm64)

  • Core 21/21, PTY 11/11, view 1/1.
  • AOT publish has 0 IL warnings, and the self-test passes, including vim.

Not yet verified

  • Windows ConPTY has never been run. This PR's CI is its first run.
  • linux-arm64 and the Windows libraries are only cross-compiled so far.

…f-test

- Design docs and research for the integrated terminal (docs/terminal).
- libghostty-vt pinned at ghostty b3dc3d7 with overlays O1-O4 (win32-input-mode,
  disabled kitty paste events, deferred OSC 52 reads, modifyOtherKeys export);
  Zig 0.16.0 build scripts (tools/terminal).
- libtcodepty + tcode-pty-spawn: posix_spawn-based PTY with exit watching
  (pidfd/kqueue), gather reads, signals and process info (native/tcodepty).
- TCode.Terminal.Core (facade over libghostty-vt), TCode.Terminal.Pty (Unix PTY,
  Windows ConPTY), TCode.Terminal.Avalonia (TerminalView, Control.Render),
  tcode-ptyhost --self-test (NativeAOT, runs vim).
- StreamMark as a git submodule (external/StreamMark); NuGet source moved to
  packages/streammark (tools/streammark/pack.sh).
- CI: .github/workflows/terminal.yml (native builds, tests on 3 OSes, AOT self-test).

…erlay

- tools/terminal/ghostty_bindgen.py generates all structs/enums from
  ghostty_type_json() (explicit layouts) and all 202 functions from the headers;
  replaces the hand-written M0 subset. Layout/enum tests compare every generated
  type with the manifest on each RID.
- FrameCapturer: 8-byte packed cells, per-row style tables, grapheme clusters,
  row ids/versions/content hashes, dirty-row capture with row sharing.
- Differential test (incremental vs full rebuild) found two upstream missed-dirty
  bugs; overlay O5 marks rows dirty when semantic_prompt or wrap flags change.
- TerminalView renders from the packed snapshot (palette resolved in the view).

…re O5 fixes

- TerminalCore installs all libghostty callbacks: title, pwd, bell, clipboard
  write / deferred read (O3, CompleteClipboardRead), notifications, progress,
  OSC 133 semantic prompts, render hold, reset, unknown OSC (633).
- DA1/DA2/DA3, XTVERSION, XTWINOPS sizes, 2048 and 996 are answered by the core
  from its own state (10 §2); SetDefaultColors, Clear (⌘K), width policy (2027
  default), terminfo name, title report off.
- CommandTracker: OSC 133 / 633 (nonce-checked) command records with tracked
  anchors and output reading via select_output.
- Differential test fixes: C# \x escapes in fragments; O5 now also marks the
  previous row dirty when a stale spacer_head is cleared (450k-step sweep clean).

- InputModes read from the core after each write batch (DECCKM, keypad, 1035/1036,
  DECBKM, modifyOtherKeys via O4, kitty flags, mouse tracking/format, 2004, 1004,
  2027, 9001 via O1, cursor-at-prompt); InputModes.Defaults matches terminal reset.
- InputEncoder (UI thread, not bound to a terminal): legacy/kitty key encoding,
  mouse encoding with geometry, focus reports, macOS option-as-alt.
- TerminalCore.EncodePaste with a write_pty capture scope (bracketed paste, unsafe
  paste requires confirmation); PasteEncoder for terminal-less encoding.
- Bindgen emits public enums (TerminalKey) into TCode.Terminal.Core.

…host

- Desktop references Terminal.Avalonia / Protocol; pty host copied to ptyhost/ and AOT-published with the app
- PtyHostService (discover/start/configure), TerminalSession (UI-side core on one worker, coalesced frames, ack after batch, resize via record)
- TerminalTabViewModel / TerminalTabView: lifecycle (restart on exit or host loss), keys, text, paste (unsafe refused), copy, select, wheel, links
- TerminalView input events and key mapping (unit-tested)
- Fix: tcode-pty-spawn rejected argv0-only launches (argc < 5), found by AOT smoke
- Fix: host starts the output pump after the create response is queued (exit notifications were dropped on fast exits)
- Smoke: terminal step in TCode --smoke (AOT host, real shell output)
