Roadmap

Terminal emulator, built-in multiplexer, and full AI integration stack.

• VT100/xterm state machine (CSI, SGR 256+truecolor, OSC, DCS passthrough)
• CPU SIMD rendering via @Vector — no GPU, <50μs per frame
• Multi-pane with 4 tiling layouts (master-stack, grid, monocle, floating)
• 9 workspaces, Ctrl+Space prefix keys
• CustomPaneBackend protocol for Claude Code agent teams (7 operations)
• MCP server (6 tools over Unix socket)
• OSC 9999 agent self-declaration protocol
• Process graph (DAG with agent metadata)
• Session save/restore with binary serialization
• Command-stream scrollback compression (20-50x)
• X11 via pure XCB, Wayland via xdg-shell
• Config file: ~/.config/teru/teru.conf
• Hook system (spawn/close/agent_start/session_save)

Clipboard auto-detection, Wayland keyboard fix, and AUR package.

• Clipboard: auto-detect display server (wl-copy on Wayland, xclip on X11)
• Build: link libxkbcommon for Wayland-only builds (keyboard was broken with -Dx11=false)
• Keyboard: enable xkbcommon translation for both X11 and Wayland backends
• AUR package live: paru -S teru
• Makefile with build profiles (make dev, make release, make install)

Three-layer AI integration fully wired: PaneBackend + HookListener + MCP Server.

• Claude Code hook listener: Unix socket HTTP server accepts 16 lifecycle event types
• HookHandler expanded from 5 to 16 events (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, SessionStart/End, Stop, Notification, PreCompact/PostCompact)
• processHookEvent dispatches to ProcessGraph (agent spawn/stop/pause, tool activity)
• Full project roadmap added

Configurable prefix key, pane zoom, and pane resize.

• Configurable prefix key: prefix_key = ctrl+b in teru.conf
• Pane zoom: Ctrl+Space, z toggles between current layout and monocle
• Pane resize: Ctrl+Space, H/L adjusts master ratio in master-stack (15%-85%)

Proper Wayland keyboard integration and vi-like copy mode.

• Wayland keyboard: use compositor keymap FD via xkb_keymap_new_from_fd()
• Copy mode: vi-like scrollback navigation (Ctrl+Space,[ enters, hjkl/v/y)
• Custom keybindings in config file (key=action mapping)

Kitty keyboard protocol, shell integration, and improved search.

• Kitty keyboard protocol (disambiguate press/release/repeat, modifier encoding)
• Shell integration scripts (bash/zsh/fish auto-inject OSC 133 emitters)
• Scrollback search improvement (persist query, highlight count, next/prev match)

Background daemon process — sessions persist across terminal restarts.

• Daemon mode (teru-server background process owns PTYs)
• teru attach (client connects to running daemon)
• teru detach (disconnect client, daemon keeps PTYs alive)
• Named sessions (teru new -s work, teru attach work)
• Session persistence across terminal restarts

Kitty graphics protocol, Sixel, emoji, CJK, and font fallbacks.

• Kitty graphics protocol (bitmap display, streaming, placement)
• Sixel graphics (legacy image protocol)
• Full Unicode: emoji via COLR/CPAL tables
• Full Unicode: CJK double-width characters (wcwidth)
• Font fallback chains (Hack → Noto → system fonts)

WASM plugin runtime with hooks, render, and tool APIs.

• WASM plugin runtime (sandboxed)
• Plugin API: hooks (on_key, on_output, on_resize, on_agent_event)
• Plugin API: render (custom status bar widgets, overlays)
• Plugin API: tools (register MCP tools from plugins)
• Lua scripting bridge (Lua 5.4 for config/keybind scripting)

Context gauge, cost tracking, cross-pane approval, process graph visualization.

• Context compaction gauge (status bar shows Claude Code context usage %)
• Agent cost tracking (accumulate tokens from hook metadata, show per-agent cost)
• Cross-pane approval (permission_prompt hook → inline yes/no widget)
• Auto-workspace for teams (spawn_agent with group → dedicated workspace)
• Process graph visualization (Ctrl+Space,g — DAG view)
• Agent replay (rewind session using scrollback + event timestamps)

Fix AppKit backend, PTY, Homebrew tap.

• Fix AppKit backend for Zig 0.16
• PTY via forkpty() from util.h
• Keyboard via Carbon UCKeyTranslate
• Clipboard via pbcopy/pbpaste
• Homebrew tap (nicholasglazer/homebrew-teru)
• Retina/HiDPI support

ConPTY, Win32 keyboard, winget + Scoop.

• ConPTY (CreatePseudoConsole, Win10 1809+)
• Win32 keyboard translation
• Clipboard (OpenClipboard + SetClipboardData)
• Scoop bucket + WinGet manifest

Claude Code SDK embedding, headless sessions, and session recording.

• Claude Code SDK embedding (optional Node.js/Python process for terminal-native AI chat)
• Headless session spawning (claude -p --output-format stream-json, NDJSON parsing)
• Session recording with semantic markup (commands, agent events, timing)
• Session replay (searchable, shareable recordings)
