Description
ExecRelay is a local-first engineering terminal that goes beyond running commands. It combines a real PTY-backed terminal with structured execution capture, Git repository change observation, and explicit verification. Instead of treating terminal output as proof of success, ExecRelay records what actually happened. Free v0.1.1 developer preview for Apple Silicon Macs. No account required.

Could you build this?
Partial Creating a standard terminal UI is achievable, but building robust low-level PTY lifecycle management, non-invasive structured execution hooks, and accurate Git state delta verification requires systems programming.
What it would actually take: A production version typically uses Rust or Go with low-level PTY bindings (`forkpty`, `termios`) and a terminal emulator frontend (like Xterm.js or custom native rendering via Metal/DirectX). The hard parts are capturing exact terminal escape sequences, managing background process groups, hooking system-level process events via eBPF or OS-specific process observation APIs, and reconciling dirty Git worktrees reliably across submodules and git operations.
