+# Rabby
+
+Rabby is a Rust/Tauri terminal workspace inspired by [Tabby](https://github.com/Eugeny/tabby), cloned locally at `../tabby-source` for feature reference.
+
+## Goal
+
+Keep the same broad product shape as Tabby—terminal tabs, nested split panes, local/SSH/Telnet/Serial profiles, themes, shortcuts, quake-mode UX, session restore, and transfer/security surfaces—while replacing the Electron/Angular shell with a smaller Rust core plus Tauri desktop shell.
+
+## Current implementation
+
+- `rabby-core`: dependency-light Rust domain model for profiles, tabs, split panes, session restore primitives, and feature coverage tests.
+- `src-tauri`: Tauri v2 desktop backend exposing the Rust feature matrix to the UI.
+- `ui`: static responsive UI mock/prototype matching Tabby-style terminal UX without a JavaScript build chain.
+- `docs/rabby-screenshot.svg`: screenshot artifact of the UI/UX direction.
+
+## Verification
+
+```bash
+cargo test -p rabby-core
+```
+
+The core crate is intentionally testable without launching the desktop shell.
+
+## Tabby feature mapping
+
+| Tabby feature | Rabby implementation direction |
+| --- | --- |
+| Terminal emulator | Rust core models terminal sessions; Tauri UI presents panes/tabs. |
+| SSH/Telnet/Serial | Typed connection profiles with validation and command boundaries. |
+| Split panes/tabs | Recursive pane tree with tested split bounds and leaf counting. |
+| Theming/shortcuts | Static UI theme now; config surface reserved in core. |
+| Session restore | Workspace struct stores profiles, tabs, active tab, and quake mode. |
+| Smaller footprint | No Electron/Angular runtime in this scaffold; static assets + Tauri. |
