I built a POC for an IDE that visually maps and edits architecture using Local AI

Most "AI IDEs" today are essentially just VS Code forks with a chat UI bolted on. You paste some code into a sidebar, get some code out, and manually copy it over.

While this is incredibly useful, it still forces developers to explain architectural changes through flat text and deal with context window exhaustion.

I wanted to experiment with a radically different approach: What if the IDE understood your architecture visually?

So, I built a Proof of Concept (POC) called TerminateCode.
