Feature request: Add integrated terminal and file tree display #304

Description

@xiaoqinxing

Feature Request

Please add two features that would greatly enhance the development experience:

1. Integrated Terminal

Add an in-browser terminal panel, similar to VS Code's integrated terminal, that allows users to run shell commands directly in the web UI without switching back to a terminal emulator.

This would let users:

  • Run build commands, git operations, tests, etc. while the agent is working
  • Quickly test commands suggested by the agent
  • Monitor log output in real-time

2. File Tree Display

Add a file explorer / file tree sidebar that shows the project's directory structure, allowing users to:

  • Browse project files without leaving the web UI
  • Preview source files, docs, images, etc. by clicking on them
  • See which files were modified by recent agent sessions
  • Navigate the codebase alongside the conversation

Why

These are standard features in modern coding IDEs and web UIs (like @jmfederico/pi-web already has a terminal). Adding them would make @agegr/pi-web a more complete development environment that reduces context switching between the browser and terminal/file manager.

Thanks for considering!
