UI Direction
Amber terminal, serious business system.
The repo defines a retro terminal direction: amber on charcoal, dense but readable, double-line frames, stable screen structure, and predictable keyboard-first prompts.
This is not a novelty terminal theme. The design is meant to feel like a fast, reliable shop system that makes status, customer context, transaction state, and next actions obvious.
