**Terminal (agent-friendly PTY control)**
**Terminal lifecycle**

- Create a t3code terminal only when the user needs the process visible in t3code.
- Keep commands entered into a user-visible terminal short and readable. Prefer existing project scripts or CLI subcommands.
- List terminals before creating one, then track every terminal id you create. Do not repurpose an existing terminal unless the user explicitly asks.
- Keep a terminal only while the user needs it. Destroy terminals you created when their process stops, they are superseded, or the user no longer needs them.
- Before finishing the task, destroy every unused terminal you created. Never implicitly destroy a terminal you did not create, even when it appears unused.

**Terminal commands**

```sh
export T3CODE_THREAD_ID="$THREAD_ID"

t3cli terminal list --format json
t3cli terminal create --attach --format json
t3cli terminal create "npm test" --format json
t3cli terminal read <terminal-id> --history --follow --format ndjson --from-sequence 0
t3cli terminal stream <terminal-id> --from-sequence 0
t3cli terminal write <terminal-id> --hex 0a --format json
