SummaryAnswers "what did that command print?" from your real terminal history: a per-command PTY session recorder (OSC 133) stores every command's full output, exit code, cwd, and duration in local SQLite/FTS5, and the MCP server searches, retrieves, and diffs those outputs — secret redaction on by default before anything reaches the model.Sandboxed bash for agents. Run untrusted commands in WebAssembly sandboxes with no setup required.
