TUI CLIENT

Planned — a terminal-in-terminal tmux replacement connecting to the daemon.

This feature is on the roadmap and not yet implemented.

The design is outlined below. See the roadmap for current status.

Terminal-in-Terminal

A full multiplexer rendered entirely via escape sequences. Run ori-term's multiplexer inside any terminal emulator — no GPU required, no special protocol needed.

tmux Replacement

Full session management: attach and detach from sessions, list active sessions, create new sessions, kill sessions.

Split Rendering

Pane splits drawn with box-drawing characters for clean borders. Floating pane overlays rendered on top of the split layout.

Color Adaptation

The TUI client will detect the host terminal's color capabilities and automatically downgrade rendering from truecolor through 256, 16, or no color.

Multi-Client

Multiple TUI clients will be able to attach to the same session simultaneously, with real-time state synchronization.
