The full story
An ADDS 4000/260 terminal at the Atuin office is a small computer that listens for serial input and draws the characters it receives. The team wired it to a Raspberry Pi and set Linux to treat it as a proper serial terminal, running in VT320 compatibility mode.
For fun they got Claude to do the UTF-8 to Latin-1 conversion needed so that Claude could render itself on the terminal.
