Replay and Snapshots¶

Because state transitions are deterministic, grid state can be reconstructed precisely.

Snapshot Strategy¶

Store: - Initial grid state - Ordered RenderOps

Reapply to reconstruct grid state.

Diff Strategy¶

Alternatively, store: - Initial snapshot - Damage-based deltas

This allows efficient replay and random access.

Use Cases¶

• UI regression testing
• Time-travel debugging
• Terminal recording systems
• State synchronization across processes

Replay does not depend on terminal emulator behavior.
