# 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.
