Description

Adds documentation for the Sistent Terminal component to the Sistent components page, following the structure used by other documented components.

Adds src/collections/sistent/components/terminal/ with:

  • index.mdx — Overview of the Terminal component (styled console window for displaying command-line output, logs, and code snippets)
  • guidance.mdx — Usage guidance covering when to use it, line/content formatting (color, indent, short lines), titling, and theming
  • code.mdx — Live code examples: basic terminal, terminal without a title, indented output, and compact/short lines

Also registers Terminal in the MDX shortcodes in src/templates/sistent-component.js so it can be rendered inside the new .mdx files, matching how Button is already registered there.

Notes for reviewers

  • Based on the actual Terminal component API in layer5io/sistent (lines, title, noScroll props) rather than the "interactive CLI execution / live log streaming" framing in the parent issue — the current component is a static, presentational console-style display, not an interactive shell. Docs describe the real behavior to avoid misleading consumers.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Added centralized Sistent Terminal documentation. The pages describe component behavior, formatting options, theme and scroll settings, and themed usage examples with matching code snippets. The component is available through the Sistent documentation template.

Changes

Terminal documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Terminal overview and guidance
src/collections/sistent/components/terminal/index.mdx, src/collections/sistent/components/terminal/guidance.mdx
Documents the Terminal structure, static-display use cases, formatting options, optional titles, fixed dark theme, and noScroll behavior.
Terminal usage examples
src/collections/sistent/components/terminal/code.mdx
Adds themed examples for titles, colored lines, indentation, compact line heights, and disabled scrolling, with matching CodeBlock snippets.
Terminal template integration
src/templates/sistent-component.js
Adds Terminal to the Sistent imports and MDX shortcodes. Reformats existing template markup without changing rendering or navigation behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 51232

The documentation may show color values that the Terminal component does not support as written, causing examples to render with unintended styling. This is a bounded documentation correctness issue that is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up.

Explanation

The PR adds the required index.mdx, guidance.mdx, and code.mdx files and registers Terminal. However, issue #7982 also requires documentation for interactive execution, live log streaming, command history, copy-paste shortcuts, and terminal themes. The provided changes focus on static presentation and do not cover these requirements.

Resolution

Update the Terminal documentation to cover the requirements in issue #7982, or revise the issue requirements if the component supports only static presentation. Include interactive or streaming behavior only if it exists in the current component API.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The documentation files and Terminal registration are in scope. The additional formatting changes in src/templates/sistent-component.js appear unrelated because they do not change runtime behavior or support Terminal documentation.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 0 functions across 1 files.

color is the theme’s secondary color, matching the base pre styling; retain the
per-line override behavior.
- Around line 31-33: Align Terminal color documentation with the line.color
CSS-class API by documenting supported named color classes instead of arbitrary
color values. Update
src/collections/sistent/components/terminal/guidance.mdx:31-33 and
src/collections/sistent/components/terminal/index.mdx:36-40; replace color
values in src/collections/sistent/components/terminal/code.mdx:23-25, 35-37,
55-57, 67-68, 126-127, and 140-141 in both live and copied examples.

In `@src/collections/sistent/components/terminal/index.mdx`:
- Line 50: Update the noScroll documentation in
src/collections/sistent/components/terminal/index.mdx at lines 50-50 to reflect
that the current styles retain overflow scrolling instead of claiming the prop
disables scrolling. Also revise the example in
src/collections/sistent/components/terminal/code.mdx at lines 120-122 so it no
longer presents noScroll as disabling scrolling; no implementation change is
requested.

While reviewing the rendered preview, I noticed few UI bugs. These aren't something this PR can fix.

So I believe once this PR is merged, I'd need a separate PR in layer5io/sistent to fix the title-bar CSS, get it released as a new version, and then bump @sistent/sistent here so the docs site picks it up.

Alternatively, I could fix it in sistent first and verify it visually before touching this PR — using npm link to point my local layer5 checkout at a local sistent build, so I can preview the fixed Terminal on the docs site without waiting on a published release. Then open the sistent PR with visual confirmation already in hand, and follow up here with the version bump once it's merged.

Is there another way to handle this, or does one of these approaches sound right?
