Could you build this?
Partial A basic terminal runner is easy, but a robust native Windows terminal multiplexer requires intricate interaction with low-level Win32 ConPTY APIs and asynchronous terminal emulation.
What it would actually take: The system requires C++ or Rust interfacing directly with the Windows Pseudo Console (ConPTY) APIs, Win32 named pipes, and asynchronous I/O completion ports. The major technical hurdle is accurately parsing and multiplexing ANSI/VT escape sequences, handling process signaling, and preventing deadlocks during high-throughput agent output. This requires deep familiarity with the Windows console subsystem.
