Steward update: 2.7.2 - Shell commands and terminals

I have released a new version of Steward; now you can run shell commands or open terminals in conversations without leaving Obisidian.

It has 2 modes: transcript - Output streamed directly into the conversation note, and interactive - For programs that require TTY (Real terminal)

Note: To open interactive programs like vim, CLI-agents, etc, you need to install the note-pty runtime, it is a library that allocates a pseudo-terminal and runs a process attached to it. I have prepared 2 scripts in the Steward folder, so you can run it directly in the transcript mode.

My repo: Obsidian Steward. CLI document: CLI wiki

Showcases:

Run transcript commands like “cd”, “ls”, etc. And install node-pty runtime from the current transcript session:
