Could you build this?
Partial Building a persistent remote/local terminal daemon that manages PTY sessions, reconnection protocols across sleeping machines, and secure agent orchestration requires specialized systems and networking programming.
What it would actually take: A real version requires a cross-platform daemon (Go/Rust) interfacing with OS-level pseudo-terminals (pty), WebSocket/SSH proxy relays for remote reconnectivity through NATs, and process lifecycle managers. The hard parts are resilient session serialization across network disconnects/machine sleeps and safe sandboxed multi-agent process control.
