Apple Terminal Custom Welcome Banner

What: Apple Terminal users now see a specially designed welcome screen with optimized ASCII art rendering.

How it works: The CLI detects if you're running in Apple Terminal and displays a custom banner designed for that terminal's specific rendering characteristics.

Details:

  • Automatically detects Apple Terminal environment
  • Shows theme-appropriate ASCII art (different designs for light vs dark themes)
  • Uses simplified character graphics (▗, ▖) for better rendering compatibility
  • Early detection ensures custom banner appears before standard theme processing
  • Evidence: Pc1() at line 441323 checks hA.terminal === "Apple_Terminal", custom banner rendered via Ot5() at line 441581
