The core loop · read a yml of processes from the repo, run them, stream logs into terminals, show status dots · is a genuine one-sitting build with node-pty and xterm.js, and mprocs already gives you most of it in a TUI for free. What does not one-shot is everything around it: a native window with tray and notifications, killing whole process trees without orphans on three OSes, crash auto-restart that does not flap, and signed auto-updating builds. And since the paid tier is $19 once rather than a subscription, the usual death-list math barely applies.

Build me a local dev-stack dashboard like Uncircle. Requirements:

- Node 20 + Express + ws, single process, started as `devstack` from any repo
  folder; opens http://localhost:4680.
- Read a `stack.yml` in the repo root: list of processes with name, command,
  cwd (relative), and autostart flags. Include an example file.
- Run each process in a real PTY via node-pty and stream output over WebSocket
  into xterm.js terminals in the browser, one tab per process.
- Sidebar lists processes with green/red/grey status dots and buttons for
  start, stop, restart, plus Start all / Stop all. Stopping must kill the
  whole process tree · no orphaned children.
- If a process exits nonzero, auto-restart with exponential backoff, max 5
  tries, and show a "flapping" badge when it keeps dying.
- Scan output for localhost URLs and render them as clickable pills above the
  terminal.
- Add ad-hoc shell tabs (plain PTYs cwd'd at the repo root) so CLI coding
  agents like Claude Code can run inside the dashboard too.
- No accounts, no telemetry, everything local. Deliberately out of scope:
  native window, tray, notifications, and multi-repo management · this is one
  repo per running instance.
- README with install and usage.
