Hey @nunomaduro, @paulinevos and @mnapoli! 👋

Following your suggestion, the terminal client is now 100% powered by php-tui/php-tui! PHP FOREVERRR! 🔥🐘

It is pure PHP out of the box — zero required compilation or C extensions, running seamlessly on macOS, Linux, and Windows. For power users with ext-terminal (linked to the PHP Core RFC: io_terminal), it seamlessly bridges as an optional zero-latency raw POSIX I/O driver.

🖥️ Interactive TUI Capabilities (php artisan log)

1. Live Timeline & ASCII Git DAG Rails

• Browse the latest commits interactively with ↑ / k and ↓ / j (or jump with g / G).
• Switch feeds seamlessly with 1 (Everyone) and 2 (Following).
• Dynamic layout: Left pane displays the timeline with TrueColor developer lane tags; Right pane shows detailed commit inspection, relative time, star counts, and reply indicators.
• Non-interactive / pipe fallback: automatically renders a clean ASCII Git DAG rail when piped or run with --no-tui.

YOOOO CHAT
W PR BROOOO THAT'S FIREEEE 🔥🔥🔥🔥

CAN YOU USE php-tui????? PHP FOREVERRR!!!

[xHeaven]

@nunomaduro This PR touches new services and new third-party dependencies. Could you take a look?

[nunomaduro]

I don't think an "cli" should be mixed together with the "web" app, just like we don't see the native php app here. However, you can do your own open-source repo with this!
