Why not ship platform binaries?
The current release model uses one clear
installation story: Cargo directly, or
install.sh calling Cargo underneath.
FAQ
Short answers to the practical questions that come up first.
Why default to localhost?
The safer default for this class of tool is to avoid accidental exposure. Remote access should be an explicit operator choice.
Is this meant for direct internet exposure?
Not directly. The intended model is trusted local or private-network administration, usually behind HTTPS, VPN, proxy ACLs, or a firewall.
Can I install a pinned version?
curl -fsSL https://codeberg.org/letllmrun/wterminal/raw/tag/v0.1.0/scripts/install.sh | WTERMINAL_VERSION=v0.1.0 shOr use Cargo directly with the released crate version you need.
