Terminal configuration

Terminal configuration controls rendering, input, alternate-screen behavior, and host-shell interaction. Nova does not replace the host terminal.

Use the current implementation

Use a terminal with UTF-8 and standard input support. On Windows, verify PowerShell behavior; use nova -p when interactive rendering is not appropriate.

Boundaries and safety

Terminal escape sequences, clipboard support, colors, and resizing vary by host. Treat terminal configuration as presentation and input infrastructure, not as a security boundary.
