Latest release MIT License macOS · Windows Node 18+ Early beta Tests

**Status: v0.7 beta · solo-maintained.** Runs on Windows and macOS, covered by a large unit harness plus 39 Playwright E2E tests and a macOS contract suite; this is still an early widely-shared release — expect rough edges. Issues and PRs welcome. The Windows build remains the original reference path, while the macOS port now covers the full toolbar + highlight-to-speak + "hey jarvis" loop, local voice commands, CoreAudio mic auto-pause, POSIX assistant hooks, and Terminal.app/iTerm2 footer audio. Remaining platform differences are mostly OS integration surfaces, such as Windows Terminal tab colour/title automation versus macOS Terminal.app title-only launch. **Linux is next.** File bugs via [private Security Advisories](https://github.com/benfrancisburns-creator/terminal-talk/se
