Congratulations.

On the cross-platform library, I wonder why "libGhostty" and not libTerminal. Which seems like a more appropriate in term of library?

Calling it libTerminal might be confusing. There are other terminal emulation libraries—for example libvterm[1], notably used to power the embedded terminal in Neovim.[2]
