What Changed

Terminal install chips on /download are now buttons. Click copies the visible command and replaces the chip label with Copied to clipboard for 1.5s, then restores the command.

Why

The chips were static <code>. Getting them into a terminal meant selecting by hand. The chip is the control, so confirmation replaces its label — the same swap this product uses on copy buttons (Copy prompt → Copied) and the same click-the-command pattern as create.t3.gg. Clipboard payload stays the original command via data-command, including nightly $env:... (never stripped as a prompt).

Scope

  • In: apps/marketing/src/pages/download.astro Terminal chips, copy handler, hover/copied styles, sr-only live region.
  • Out: web/mobile copy widgets, /95 copy button, installer scripts.

Tradeoffs

A trailing Copied suffix was rejected: it treats the chip as a snippet-plus-badge instead of a button whose label is the command. A separate copy icon was rejected: the user asked to click the command.

Blast Radius

Marketing /download only. Channel toggle still swaps stable/nightly chips. Failed clipboard writes restore the command and announce Copy failed.

Verification

Played the Terminal chips in a page using this markup/CSS/JS (marketing node_modules were not installed in the worktree):

  • Hover curl, click → label becomes Copied to clipboard; clipboard is curl -fsSL https://t3.codes/install.sh | sh
  • Label restores after 1.5s
  • Nightly tab, click $env:... → same replace; clipboard keeps the $env: command
  • Click npx t3@nightly → same replace; clipboard is npx t3@nightly
  • Stable shows only stable chips; nightly shows only nightly chips

Checklist

  • This PR is small and focused
  • I explained what changed and why
  • I included before/after screenshots for any UI changes
  • I included a video for animation/interaction changes

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Terminal commands on the download page can now be copied by clicking them.
    • Copy success or failure is announced automatically, with a temporary “Copied to clipboard” confirmation.
    • Failed copy attempts display a clear “Copy failed” message.
  • Style

    • Updated command controls with hover, active, and copied states.
    • Preserved appropriate behavior for stable and nightly CLI instructions, including reduced-motion preferences.

The Terminal chips on /download were static. Clicking one now copies the visible command and replaces the label with Copied to clipboard for 1.5s.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 1e656b5

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a focused, single-page marketing enhancement that adds click-to-copy behavior to existing CLI commands while preserving their content and channel selection. Its browser-only clipboard handling, status feedback, and styling are isolated and low risk, with no API, deployment, security, billing, or product-default changes.

Rapid clicks on different command chips can copy a different command than the last selected one and show misleading feedback. Serialize writes or disable chips while a copy is pending before merge.

Clipboard API writeText promise ordering concurrent writes specification

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
The Clipboard API&#39;s writeText() method does not guarantee strict ordering for concurrent writes, and the specification does not mandate a queueing system to ensure that multiple, near-simultaneous calls are processed sequentially [1][2][3]. Key technical aspects include: 1. Specification Behavior: According to the W3C Clipboard API specification, writeText() performs its operations by queuing a task on the "clipboard task source" [1][3]. When multiple writeText() calls are initiated, the browser&#39;s underlying implementation generally processes these as independent requests to the system clipboard [4]. Because these tasks are queued, they may compete for the same system resource [4]. 2. Race Conditions: There is no formal specification requirement for a global lock or a serialized request queue across concurrent writeText() calls [1][3]. Consequently, if multiple writes occur in rapid succession, the final state of the clipboard is effectively a race condition—it will reflect whichever write operation completes last at the system level [4]. 3. Promise Resolution: The returned Promise for each writeText() call resolves once that specific operation has successfully updated the clipboard [5][3]. If one write operation is superseded by a subsequent one, the promise for the first operation may still resolve successfully, even though its data was overwritten immediately afterward [4]. 4. Best Practices: Due to this lack of implicit ordering, developers are advised to manage concurrency at the application level [6]. A common practice is to maintain a local "in-progress" flag or disable UI elements (e.g., a copy button) until the returned promise settles, thereby preventing overlapping write requests [6]. In summary, because the API interacts with a shared system-level resource without an application-level request queue, concurrent writeText() calls can result in non-deterministic outcomes [4]. Relying on promise resolution order is not a robust strategy for ensuring data integrity on the clipboard [4].

Serialize clipboard writes.

copyCliLine starts a new navigator.clipboard.writeText() call for each click without waiting for an existing call. The Clipboard API does not guarantee completion order for concurrent writes. If two writes complete out of order, the earlier command can overwrite the clipboard, copied label, and live-region update for the later click.

Disable the buttons while a write is pending, or serialize the write operations.
