[Discussion] Native terminal helpers for PHP CLI

Hi internals, I have been experimenting with a small PHP extension for native terminal helpers: https://github.com/prateekbhujel/php-terminal The goal is to expose a small cross-platform CLI terminal layer for the pieces that are currently awkward to normalize in userland, especially on Windows: - checking whether stdin/stdout/stderr are TTYs - reading terminal size - enabling/restoring raw mode safely - reading a single key with normalized names - writing directly to stdout/stderr This started from a practical issue with prompt-style PHP CLIs. Laravel Prompts, for example, currently cannot use its normal interactive prompt flow on Windows because the backend depends on Unix-style terminal behavior. I opened a proof-of-concept integration here: https://github.com/laravel/prompts/pull/242 The extension is still alpha, and I am not proposing it for core right now. I mainly want feedback on whether this API shape makes sense from a PHP CLI/runtime point of view, and whether this is better kept as PECL/ecosystem work first. Initial release with Windows builds: https://github.com/prateekbhujel/php-terminal/releases/tag/v0.1.0 If this would be better discussed on internals-win first, I am happy to move it there. I am mainly looking for feedback on API shape, naming, Windows behavior, and missing primitives before taking it further. Thanks, Pratik
