LGTM

Could you check if https://github.com/nbedos/termtosvg could work? It seems to be more git-friendly than binary gif?

Looks like the repo has been archived.
The concept of SVG is cool, but even though it's indeed a readable format, it ultimately appears to not be that easily readable in this particular sub-format. Also, I don't really like the fact of depending on JavaScript to run.

The key point of VHS is tape files, they are easily maintainable and readable, and you don't have to record it, so the result is always predictable. It also come with cool features like the capacity to produce frame screenshots or integrating hidden parts for a setup phase.
If your concern is more about git, it can also produce golden ascii files that are git friendly so we can certainly play around that capacity.

Also, as VHS is written in Go, I have that really distant idea to potentially integrate VHS as a module for txtar. (as external tool ofc) This integration could replace tape file to create GIFs + Screenshot + Markdown Code Block, transforming the doc into a living testing integration 😎
