Use before changing or debugging clud's terminal/PTY path on Windows (ConPTY, the native ReadConsoleInputW reader, VT input, raw mode, escape sequences, mouse/paste reports, Ctrl+C, terminal restore). Covers what ConPTY does differently, the files to read, the invariants, and how to validate without a local Windows machine.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Terminal / PTY on Windows Shared facts (data flow, the three invariants, test tiers, act rules, CI labels) are in [docs/architecture/terminal-pty.md](../../../docs/architecture/terminal-pty.md). Read that first. This page lists only what differs on Windows. ## What is different on Windows - **Input does not come from a byte stream.** On an interactive console, `console_input.rs` runs its own `ReadConsoleInputW` loop over running-process's translator. Each translated KEY_EVENT becomes one `extra_rx` chunk. The byte-stream stdin reader is not spawned. - **VT input.** `console_setup::enable_console_vt_input` sets `ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_INPUT` for the session. It is layered on *after* the native reader has captured the original console mode (`runner_execution.rs:326` starts the reader, then `runner_execution.rs:349` takes the guard). Under VT input the console delivers terminal-originated sequences one KEY_EVENT per character: SGR mouse reports, focus events, bracketed-paste markers and DSR replies. The reader translates each event on its own, so a sequence reaches the pump in pieces. This is why invariant 1 (sequence atomicity, #1697) matters here. …

How to install
mdr add zackees/clud/terminal-pty-windows@sha256:2adfb2e02c84b207The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.4c2ca20, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
