Hey @nunomaduro! 👋

Now that we can commit straight from the terminal with curl .../commit | bash, opening a browser just to check the log felt like leaving the terminal too soon.

This PR adds terminal reading via content negotiation: when curling devnull endpoints, you get a clean ANSI git graph DAG instead of unrendered HTML.

What this adds

1. curl https://dev-null.sh

• Guests: Renders a clean ASCII landing page with the /dev/null banner, product intro, and CLI commit instructions.
• Authenticated: Redirects to your Following log.

2. curl https://dev-null.sh/log (or https://dev-null.sh/log/everyone)

When authenticated, renders the timeline as an ASCII git DAG rail with 24-bit TrueColor user lanes (and 16-color ANSI fallbacks):

$ curl -s https://dev-null.sh/log
   _                     _ _           _     
__| | _____   __  _ __  | | |  ___ ___| |__  
/ _` |/ _ \ \ / / | '_ \ | | | / __/ __| '_ \ 
| (_| |  __/\ V /  | | | || | |_\__ \__ \ | | |
\__,_|\___| \_/   |_| |_| \__(_)___/___/_| |_|

3. curl https://dev-null.sh/@nuno

• Guests: Displays the public profile card (bio, commit & follower counts) and a sign-in prompt.
• Authenticated: Displays the profile header along with their recent top-level commit history.

4. curl https://dev-null.sh/@nuno/commits/{id}

• Guests: Renders the individual commit preview and a sign-in prompt.
• Authenticated: Renders the full thread with ancestors above and replies expanded below.

Implementation & Architecture

• TerminalRenderer (app/Services/Terminal/): Zero external dependencies. Maps user lanes to TrueColor (\033[38;2;R;G;Bm) with standard 16-color ANSI fallback (?color=16 or X-Color-Depth: 16), and honors the NO_COLOR specification.
• Terminal Safety (Sanitization): All user-controlled text (commit bodies, usernames, names, bios) passes through TerminalRenderer::sanitize() to strip ANSI escapes (\033[...]) and C0 control characters, preventing terminal display injection.
• Product & Auth Alignment: Respects PRODUCT.md by default — unauthenticated curl requests receive landing or preview cards rather than bypassing the login requirement. (If you prefer opening the Everyone log to anonymous CLI curls, we can easily toggle that).
• RESTful CLI Controller: Added Cli\LogController with a RESTful index() method (passes Pest's Laravel presets and controller isolation rules).
• Tests & Quality: 862/862 Pest tests passing green, 100.0% type coverage, 0 PHPStan errors, and clean Pint formatting.

Thank you! We discussed it and we're gonna go with a complete CLI instead, that will unlock more things

Makes complete sense! Took your feedback to heart—instead of curling web routes with content negotiation, I opened #198 adding a dedicated php artisan log command with git DAG rendering and optional native interactive TUI navigation via ext-terminal.
