Thank you @DerekStride, this looks great!
Yeah agreed, the testing story is not ideal yet. So far we have been mostly using the demos in the demo/ folder to test features. There's also a demo/exec demo that we might be able to update, now that we have a proper ExecCommand.
Adds `Bubbletea.exec(callable, message:)` which suspends terminal management, runs a callable, then restores terminal state. This enables spawning editors, pagers, and other TUI subprocesses cleanly, similar to Go bubbletea's `tea.Exec`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The tests in this project seem fairly early, I initially had mocks which I didn't love but we don't have a mock dependency so I used an object. It's not pretty but felt better than no tests. I didn't know if you had a plan for testing so kept this light. Let me know if you want me to make any improvements.
