Serial terminal for network engineers.
Baudrun is a cross-platform (macOS + Windows + Linux) serial
terminal for network devices. Built for switch consoles, router
CLIs, and other serial-attached gear.
Profile-based: each device gets a named profile storing port,
baud rate, framing, flow control, line ending, and optional
send-on-connect sequences. One-click connect; no
screen /dev/cu.usbserial-... from memory.

What's Changed
> ℹ️ Platform support.
>
> macOS (arm64 + amd64) is the primary dev target and tested with real serial hardware on every release.
> Windows builds are verified periodically against real hardware; Linux less often, as gpui's Linux backend is the least-mature of the three.
> Issues on any platform are welcome at https://github.com/packetThrower/Baudrun/issues.
