Module detect 

Terminal detection from TTY device.

Provides cross-platform terminal detection by examining which process owns a TTY device.

Detection Strategy

GUI terminal emulators (iTerm2, Ghostty, etc.) don’t have a controlling terminal - they CREATE PTYs for their child processes. So we can’t find them directly by their TTY.

Instead, we:

1. Find a process on the TTY (e.g., the shell)
2. Walk UP its parent chain to find the terminal emulator ancestor
