Web Terminal

The Web Terminal is a command-line shell in the browser. Use it for git, htop, editors, and quick checks. Agent logs belong on Live Operations; this page is for you typing commands.

Open Terminal in the sidebar.

What you can do​

  • Full color xterm (vim, nano, htop, tmux, git).
  • Copy and paste from the right-click menu.
  • Command history kept across reloads.

Workspace files are available by original name (for example report.pdf via user-workspace/).

Limits (this is not root on the host)​

Commands do not run as root on the machine:

Bare-metal

  • Isolated with Bubblewrap and cgroups.
  • /usr, /lib, /bin are read-only.
  • Writable areas are the agent scratchpad and your Workspace.
  • Caps: 512 MB RAM, 50% CPU, 30 processes.

Docker

  • Non-root user acton (UID 1000) inside a restricted subshell.

If a command is blocked, that is the sandbox, not a broken terminal. Ask an agent to work in Workspace instead, or adjust the task.
