The terminal dock

Terminals live in a resizable dock along the bottom of the window, with their own tab strip — not buried inside a project tab. Create, rename, restart, stop and close them from the strip.

They are real PTYs, so a dev server, a watcher or a REPL behaves exactly as it does in Windows Terminal. Terminals belong to a project, so switching project switches what the dock shows.

The status strip

Along the same bar, always visible whatever you are looking at:

• how many agents are currently working,
• how many need you — the number that decides whether you can walk away,
• the project's Files and Git, with the current branch and ahead/behind counts.

Run / Tasks

Ropenode finds a project's runnable scripts — npm, yarn and pnpm scripts, composer scripts, Laravel artisan commands — and you can add your own. Each gets start, stop and restart with a green/red status, and ▶ Run Deps on the project starts the ones it needs.

Stopping is graceful: a task gets time to shut down what it started — a docker compose up included — before anything is forced.

Scope

• Closing a terminal discards its scrollback.
• Environment variables come from your shell profile.
