BTerminal v2 — Progress Log

Session: 2026-03-05

Research Phase (complete)

  • Analyzed current BTerminal v1 codebase (2092 lines Python, GTK3+VTE)
  • Queried Memora — no existing BTerminal memories
  • Researched Claude Agent SDK — found structured streaming, subagent tracking, hooks
  • Researched Tauri + xterm.js ecosystem — found 4+ working projects
  • Researched terminal latency benchmarks — xterm.js acceptable for AI output
  • Researched 32:9 ultrawide layout patterns
  • Evaluated GTK4 vs Tauri vs pure Rust — Tauri wins for this use case
  • Created task_plan.md with 8 phases
  • Created findings.md with 7 research areas

Technology Decision (complete)

  • Decision: Tauri 2.x + Solid.js + Claude Agent SDK + xterm.js
  • Rationale documented in task_plan.md Phase 0

Adversarial Review (complete)

  • Spawned devil's advocate agent to attack the plan
  • Identified 5 fatal/critical issues:
    1. Node.js sidecar requirement unacknowledged
    2. SDK 0.2.x instability — need abstraction layer
    3. Three-tier observation overengineered → simplified to two-tier
    4. Solid.js ecosystem too small → switched to Svelte 5
    5. Missing: packaging, error handling, testing, responsive design
  • Revised plan (Rev 2) incorporating all corrections
  • Added error handling strategy table
  • Added testing strategy table
  • Defined MVP boundary (Phases 1-4)
  • Added responsive layout requirement (1920px degraded mode)

Phase 1 Scaffolding (complete)

  • Created feature branch v2-mission-control
  • Initialized Tauri 2.x + Svelte 5 project in v2/ directory
  • Rust backend stubs: main.rs, lib.rs, pty.rs, sidecar.rs, watcher.rs, session.rs
  • Svelte frontend: App.svelte with Catppuccin Mocha CSS variables, component stubs
  • Node.js sidecar scaffold: agent-runner.ts with NDJSON communication pattern
  • Tauri builds and launches (cargo build --release verified)
  • Dev scripts: npm run dev, npm run build, npm run tauri dev/build
  • 17 operational rules added to .claude/rules/
  • Project meta files: CLAUDE.md, .claude/CLAUDE.md, TODO.md, CHANGELOG.md
  • Documentation structure: docs/README.md, task_plan.md, phases.md, findings.md, progress.md

Next Steps

  • Begin Phase 2: Terminal Pane + Layout (CSS Grid, xterm.js, PTY)
