## Description

D8 Termline adds a compact, keyboard-operated console to your site’s frontend. Visitors
can browse categories, list and search published posts, and read articles as plain
text without leaving the page.

Commands include help, about, clear, ls, search, categories, posts and cat. Use 
Tab for completion, arrow keys for session history and Escape to close. Developers
can register additional commands using documented PHP hooks and a JavaScript API.

This is a public-content browser, not a server terminal. It provides no shell, PHP
editor, arbitrary code execution, file manager or database editing. All scripts 
and styles are bundled locally. It makes no third-party service requests and includes
no telemetry, tracking or paid feature gates. Requests use your site’s public WordPress
REST API. Command history is kept in memory only and disappears on page reload.

The appearance is inspired by classic desktop terminals.

## FAQ

### Does this run server commands?

No. Commands browse public WordPress content using the site’s REST API. They do 
not execute operating system commands.

### Does it expose private posts or user information?

Requests omit authentication credentials and request published posts only. The widget
does not collect visitor IP addresses or server information.

### Does it require an external service?

No. The REST API must be available on the same origin as the website. No account
or API key is required.

### Can developers extend it?

Yes. See readme.md for the command registry and PHP hooks. Extension scripts are
trusted site code and should be reviewed like other plugins.
