First tagged release. A self-contained Claude / Gemini terminal agent for
PowerPC Macs on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) — single Perl file, bundled TLS-capable
curl, no MacPorts / Xcode / CPAN.

Highlights

  • Input no longer flickers. The line editor stopped repainting the whole
    line on every keystroke — plain typing just prints the character now, so it
    feels stable even on a G4.
  • Scrollback stays clean. Fixed the half-typed duplicate lines that used to
    pile up in terminal history while typing near the bottom of the screen.
  • Japanese / IME input fixed across the board — stray characters, cursor
    drift on full-width text, accidental line submit while choosing a conversion,
    and garbled reconversions.
  • Terminal size is measured, not guessed. Handles machines where
    stty size lies (including the "0 0" case seen on a PowerMac G4) by asking
    the terminal directly via CPR.
  • Typewriter output. Replies print character by character; tune with
    CLAUDE_TYPE_DELAY (seconds per char), 0 for instant.
  • Guided Gemini key setup on first run — a numbered walkthrough, opens the
    page for you, and verifies the key you paste before accepting it.
  • Assorted crash and stability fixes (debug logger, stray cursor-report
    fragments, lazy-scroll bookkeeping).

Full detail, dated, in CHANGELOG.md.
