Shells on the host's machine, mirrored to everyone.

A terminal frame is a shell on the host’s machine, started in the project directory. Everyone sees its output live.

A terminal frame running the project’s dev server

  • Who types: the host, and guests with trusted access. Everyone else reads.
  • Size: the shell follows the size of the host’s frame.
  • Scroll: whoever occupies the frame drives its scrollback for everyone following (Focus).

Lifetime

  • The shell starts when the frame is added, by anyone who can edit the board.
  • It keeps running until canvas serve stops, even if the frame is removed.
  • After a restart of canvas serve, the frame starts a new shell. The old output is gone.

A trusted guest with a terminal can do anything the host’s user can. See Security.
