Raw mode support?

Host

Tell us about your Host OS (the machine you're building burrito apps on)

Host OS: NixOS
Host CPU: x86_64

Please run zig version in your Burrito project directory and write the version here:
0.15.2

Please run elixir -v in your Burrito project directory and write the version here:
Elixir 1.19.5 (compiled with Erlang/OTP 28)

Same as Host

With OTP28 introducing raw mode support, I wanted to revisit using Elixir for TUI applications. This is working well locally by running the regular mix release on my system with the runtime dependencies installed. I wanted to explore wrapping it with burrito as a next step. But running the binary produced by burrito fails when trying to enter raw mode

:shell.start_interactive({:noshell, :raw})

it returns an {:error, :enotsup}

I reckon I am a bit out my depth here and did try to get some help from a LLM to debug this. The somewhat better lead it gave me was suggesting the ERTS downloaded by burrito might not have TERMCAP support in order to maximize portability. I am currently trying a to build a custom ERTS as the docs suggest to see if I can make some progress.

That being said I was wondering if supporting raw mode was something burrito could support out of the box?

In any case, thanks for this amazing library 💜

Just replying to say that using a custom ERTS is working. At least for my machine. Will try to figure out portability later. Feel free to close if adding TERMCAP to the existing ERTS is out of scope.

It would be a shame if we couldn't ship TUIs out-of-the-box with burrito, though.
