For those confused like me, this is unrelated to the popular terminal emulator called Terminator [1]. Confusing choice of name IMHO.

[1] https://gnome-terminator.org/

That's wild, I thought it was referencing a popular 80s action movie by James Cameron, but yeah then I clicked, and realized it was neither.

I too was confused by this. Terminator is my go to terminal emulator. I think this namespace is a bit crowded.

I'm probably just not thinking through the problem fully, but: Wouldn't this be better solved inside the coding assistants? They're the parent process and should be able to tell when a sub command has hung.

I love that I can tell the readme is LLM because of emojis. LLMs love emojis.
