Localterm Foundation

Use when building terminal UIs, terminal rendering, pi bash-tool security, daemon power keep-awake, multi-user auth/identity planes (trusted-proxy headers, WebAuthn passkeys, OIDC authorization-code+PKCE, HMAC session cookies), git worktree lifecycle management (porcelain listing, fresh-ref/PR creation, stale sweeps, PTY-occupied delete guards), or scheduled-automation/cron systems: streaming secret redactor, spawn-side env scrub, localterm terminal stack, caffeinate decision machine, Vixie-cron kernel with lossless preset recognition, minute-ticker scheduler, run handoff/claim, downtime reconciliation, and CDP terminal-use.

LocalTerm Foundation

Foundation contract

This is a cold, source-specific foundation, not an operational procedure. It is historical, revision-pinned evidence rather than timeless guidance. Current project source, tests, requirements, and runtime behavior outrank this projection and decide what ships.

Provenance and revision

Source record: localterm; portable upstream identity, license, coverage caveats, and retrieval history are preserved in the index.
Recorded revision: f26c5853.
Full provenance, coverage caveats, boundaries, and preserved evidence: references/index.md.

Topic map

Representative topics: Bash-secret defense; Terminal stack; Session management; Headless rendering & persistence; Agent extension; CLI ergonomics; Agent automation; Git & UX surfaces.
Scope and retrieval questions: references/index.md#use-this-for.
Complete capsule chooser: references/index.md#load-the-matching-source-dump.
Detailed grouped map: references/index.md#capsule-map.
Source limitations and portability boundaries: references/index.md#boundaries.

Retrieval

Open the index, choose one capsule matching the active question, and load only that capsule. Revalidate its cited source and revision before relying on it. Do not bulk-load the inventory, treat historical claims as current truth, or apply this foundation as a procedure.
