+ ## What telepty is — and what it is not
47
+
48
+ telepty is a **PTY orchestration daemon for AI CLI workflows**.
49
+ It is **not** a terminal multiplexer and does not replace tmux.
50
+
51
+ > **tmux is better at being a terminal. telepty is better at letting
52
+ > software operate many terminals.**
53
+
54
+ tmux owns terminal *fidelity*: panes, windows, full VT emulation, scrollback,
55
+ copy-mode, capture-pane, local Unix-socket operation, zero runtime deps.
56
+ telepty owns *automation*: HTTP/WS APIs, authenticated remote access,
57
+ readiness-aware inject/submit, event streams, cross-machine session control.
58
+
59
+ ## telepty vs tmux
60
+
61
+ | Area | tmux | telepty |
62
+ |---|---|---|
63
+ | Core layer | terminal multiplexer + emulator | PTY orchestration daemon |
64
+ | Primary user | a human at a keyboard | software / an orchestrator |
65
+ | Terminal fidelity | full VT/grid/scrollback/copy-mode | output stream + heuristic state |
66
+ | IPC | local Unix socket | HTTP/WS/REST daemon (:3848) |
67
+ | Input model | open-loop `send-keys` | readiness-gated inject/submit |
68
+ | Multi-session fan-out | `synchronize-panes` (1 window, 1 host) | broadcast/multicast (cross-machine) |
69
+ | Remote | via SSH | native daemon HTTP, no sshd |
70
+ | Dependencies | zero runtime deps (C) | Node daemon + deps |
71
+
72
+ ## When to use which
73
+ - **Use tmux** for panes, scrollback, copy-mode, capture-pane, and local
74
+ human terminal work — telepty does none of this and doesn't try to.
75
+ - **Use telepty** when software needs to spawn, inspect, inject into, and
76
+ track many AI-CLI sessions over an API — across machines.
77
+
78
+ ## Limitations (honest)
79
+ - No terminal emulation: no cell grid, cursor model, or copy-mode. Screen
80
+ reads are buffered bytes + heuristic state, not a ground-truth screen.
81
+ - Requires a background daemon and a network port (:3848, auth-gated).
