Could you build this?
Partial Terminal emulators require low-level systems programming (pty management, VT100/ANSI parsing) and deep OS hooks to reliably monitor process trees and child state in real time.
What it would actually take: Requires native Swift/macOS development using AppKit and POSIX pseudo-terminal APIs (forkpty, termios) or embedding an engine like libvterm / Ghostty. The hard part is managing robust process tree introspection, file descriptor observation, IPC hooks into proprietary CLI agents (like Claude Code), and managing low-latency terminal rendering without visual glitches.
