🎯 Use case

This file lives under “ink/”, which covers Ink terminal UI (layouts, TTY IO, keyboard, renderer components). On the API surface it exposes expandTabs — mainly functions, hooks, or classes. It composes internal code from stringWidth and termio (relative imports). What the file header says: Tab expansion, inspired by Ghostty's Tabstops.zig Uses 8-column intervals (POSIX default, hardcoded in terminals like Ghostty).

Generated from folder role, exports, dependency roots, and inline comments — not hand-reviewed for every path.
