🏗️ Architecture & Performance

Copy-on-Write Engine

• macOS APFS: Instant filesystem-level CoW cloning
• Fallback Mode: Traditional Git worktree for other filesystems
• Path Rewriting: Parallel processing with rayon for environment fixes
• Process Safety: Detects running processes before cleanup

AI Agent Integration

• Real-time Hooks: Tracks Claude Code activities via filesystem events
• Live Dashboard: TUI showing agent status, activities, and timing
• Cross-session Monitoring: Works across multiple Claude Code sessions
• Project-specific Tracking: Per-repository status files

Terminal Automation

• macOS AppleScript: Automatic terminal tab/window management
• Cross-platform: Abstraction layer for different terminal apps
• Smart Detection: Automatically detects available terminal applications

📊 Real-World Performance

Benchmark Results (on MacBook Pro M1, APFS)

• CoW Worktree Creation: ~50ms vs ~2-5s traditional
• Large Repository (1000+ files): ~100ms vs ~10-30s traditional
• Agent Dashboard Refresh: <10ms response time
• Configuration Loading: ~5ms with full validation

Memory & CPU Usage

• Idle Memory: ~2MB RSS
• Active Dashboard: ~8MB RSS
• CPU Usage: <1% during normal operations
• Startup Time: ~50ms cold start
