Research direction

Start from the "Install" button handler for Open Terminal in the Tether UI and follow it to the code that shells out to pip, noting how the subprocess environment is built. Then look at how settings are defined and persisted so a new package-mirror/proxy URL field can be added and read at install time; decide whether to pass PIP_INDEX_URL/proxy env vars or write a pip config. Done means a user can set a mirror in settings and the Install button succeeds without external access, ideally checked by a manual run on Windows behind a firewall.

Description

Version

0.1.7

Platform

Windows 11 x64

Description

I am using Tether in a corporate environment where all external internet access is blocked, and all packages must be pulled from an internal Azure Artifacts mirror.

Currently, the "Install" button in the Tether UI for Open Terminal fails because it defaults to standard external repositories and does not appear to respect system-level pip configurations (pip.ini/pip.conf) or environment variables for package mirrors.

Proposed Solution:
Please add an option in Tether settings to define a custom package source URL or proxy configuration for the Open Terminal installation process. This would allow users in restricted environments to configure Tether to point to their internal corporate mirrors.

Context:

Environment: Windows (behind corporate firewall).
Desired Workflow: Tether's "Install" button should support the same network proxy/mirror settings so it can provision Open Terminal without requiring manual CLI intervention.
