This resonates deeply with me. That's why I built one myself [0], I really really love to truly understand how coding agents work. The learning has been immense for me, I now have working knowledge of ANSI escape codes, grapheme clusters, terminal emulators, Unicode normalization, VT protocols, PTY sessions, and filesystem operations - all the low-level details I would have never think about until I were implementing them.
