awesome.init – cli.atl.pm WordPress theme updates

Architecture

• Monolithic theme replacing separate plugins (CLImax, CRTline, hackimg, logic)
• Pages auto-register as commands via slug, zero manual wiring
• Progressive enhancement, works without JS, Lynx compatible base layer

Terminal UX

• user@sitename:~$ prompt format
• Command history using up/down arrows
• Tab completion, prefix matching, context-aware inside directories
• clear resets screen AND resets cwd
• Empty enter prints a blank prompt line instead of silently ignoring
• Hint “Type help to list commands” shown once per session via sessionStorage
• Boot sequence skippable with Escape/Enter
• Boot message defaults to site name, not theme name
• Input placeholder applied from settings (was broken)
• Typing speed 0 works as instant mode everywhere including 404

Filesystem / Directory System

• Parent pages auto-detected as directories
• cd, ls commands with full path navigation
• Typing a directory slug auto-cds into it (for beginners)
• Directory typed at root shows content + dim hint to cd
• cd .., cd ~ navigation
• Tab completion is context-aware per directory
• (cd .. to return) hint after reading a post inside a directory
• man works for all builtins via hardcoded docs map

Posts / Blog

• posts command lists published posts
• Blog page set in Settings → Reading auto-registers as a directory command
• Posts appear as files inside that directory
• Full post content shown when accessed, never excerpt
• <!--more--> tags and read-more links stripped from all content

Pagination

• | more style pagination for list commands only — ls, pages, posts, find, who
• Content pages never paginate
• Page size configurable in theme settings
• Scroll behavior fixed – new content anchors to top of viewport not bottom

Search

• find searches both pages and posts content now
• find uses recursive tree walk instead of flat commands map

Conversation Trees

• Stateful multi-turn conversations with full branch support
• 0 as universal back key via navigation stack
• Timeout + nudge line per node
• Separated from easter egg commands – no overlap in dispatch

Admin Panel

• 6-tab options panel – Terminal, Identity, CRT, Commands, Conversation, 404
• Page size setting added
• Boot message field defaults to site name, instead of theme name
• Per-page command description meta box

Visual

• CRT scanlines, SVG noise, scan beam, vignette
• Phosphor color presets: green, amber, white, blue
• Image CRT filter
• Glitch effect optional
• ASCII art field boot sequence – shown once per session

404 Page

• Typewriter error message
• Keypress/tap to redirect home
• Guard added – keypress only fires after typing is complete

Performance

• Transient caching on pages, posts, tree – 5 minute TTL
• Single get_pages() shared between commands and tree builders
• data.commands no longer duplicates content – tree is the single source

Security / Correctness

• <!--more--> stripping applied consistently across commands and tree
• Password-protected pages show (protected) in listings
• Children of excluded parent pages also excluded
• Pager calls drain() on end to clear any stuck queue

Fresh Install Experience

• Empty terminal shows dim hint to create pages if no content found
• awesome.init theme name never appears in UI – site name used throughout
