This project is based on Wave Terminal, originally developed by wavetermdev.

Original project: https://github.com/wavetermdev/waveterm

Wave Terminal is an open-source, AI-integrated terminal supporting macOS, Linux, and Windows, with features including AI-assisted workflows, durable SSH sessions, and a flexible terminal UI.

All original copyrights and licensing remain in effect under the Apache-2.0 License.

• Product identity is branded as CTMWave Terminal

• Assistant naming is branded as CTMWave AI

• Default configuration and onboarding tailored for CTM workflows

• Internal support and repository links updated to CTMJSON/ctmwave

• Community-facing language removed from onboarding surfaces

• Added development tooling:

  • npm run dev (CTM wrapper)
  • npm run doctor (environment validation)

• Improved local development startup experience

• Node.js 22+ (see .nvmrc)
• npm 10+
• Go (optional for development, required for backend rebuilds)

nvm install
nvm use

npm install

npm run doctor

npm run dev

The dev script:

• Verifies Node compatibility
• Applies default development endpoints
• Launches electron-vite

To run without CTM-specific defaults:

npm run dev:raw

CTMWAVE_DEV_INIT_TIMEOUT_MS=20000 npm run dev

Default: 12000 ms
