03 — Integrated terminal

KittyTerminal.tsx wraps xterm.js over a WebSocket pty bridge. Multiple tabs and split panes are supported; each tab is a separate node-pty process scoped to the project's working directory.

What it does

• WebSocket endpoint: wss://<host>/exocore/api/editor/shell?projectId=…&tabId=….

• Server-side: node-pty spawns the user's preferred shell (bash on Linux containers, pwsh on Windows hosts) inside projects/<projectId>/.

• ANSI colors and unicode glyphs use the Cascadia Code / JetBrainsMono Nerd Font fallback chain.
