Task-oriented notes for embedding GhosttyKit in Apple apps. Each page covers one framework or feature.

• SwiftUI TerminalViewState, TerminalSurfaceView, lifecycle state, and sending input.
• UIKit & AppKit Create TerminalView, assign a controller, attach delegates, and configure native input.
• Host-managed I/O InMemoryTerminalSession bridges terminal bytes to a sandbox-safe host backend.
• Themes Use GhosttyThemeCatalog, convert themes to terminal config, and switch light/dark variants.
• Text Selection Long-press requests, viewport snapshots, UTF-16 ranges, and host presentation.
• ShellCraftKit Build a sandboxed command surface backed by ShellDefinition and ShellSession.
