Cool project... However, the terminal is where you enter passwords, ssh, set API keys etc. Something so sensitive should not be "Fully vibe coded".

For a project like this, I would expect to see a clarification which might read something like this: "Fully vibe coded, but I audited each and every line of generated code and I am already a domain expert in vt sequences and emacs so I know this program should be OK." But given that I did NOT see a clarification or statement like this, it becomes very difficult to trust a project like this.

Again, it is a cool idea.

The vast majority of your complaints are handled by libghostty-vt itself, not by this person's Emacs wrapper software over libghostty.

Ghostty is a great piece of software, with a stellar maintainer who has a very pragmatic and measured take on using AI to develop software.
