Does DevDock replace the terminal?

No. It provides a repeatable control surface for common project workflows and can still open a registered folder in a terminal, Visual Studio Code, or File Explorer.

Does project detection run repository code?

No. Detection reads a bounded set of manifests and marker files. It does not execute package managers, build tools, project scripts, or network requests.
