Andrew Schilling 63e3a8fb69 docs: refresh landing terminal demo and apply NVIDIA fern theme (#1615)
- Extract landing-page terminal demo into a reusable <CommandTerminal />
  component with inline styles (no global CSS dependency)
- Animate a second command line cycling through claude/opencode/codex
  via @keyframes scoped inside the component
- Inline BadgeLinks layout styles so the component renders correctly
  without relying on .badge-links from main.css
- Add jsx.d.ts shim so editors do not flag the React global in component
  TSX files
- Switch fern instance to global-theme: nvidia with multi-source enabled
- Bump fern CLI to 5.40.0 and drop the basepath-aware experimental flag
- Register fern/components/ as a second mdx-components directory
- Remove the unused Adobe analytics script tag

NVIDIA OpenShell is the safe, private runtime for autonomous AI agents. It provides sandboxed execution environments
that protect your data, credentials, and infrastructure. Agents run with exactly the permissions they need and
nothing more, governed by declarative policies that prevent unauthorized file access, data exfiltration, and
uncontrolled network activity.
## Get Started
Install OpenShell and create your first sandbox in two commands.
<llms-ignore>
<CommandTerminal command="curl -LsSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NVIDIA/OpenShell/main/install.sh | sh" />
</llms-ignore>
<llms-only>
```shell
curl -LsSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NVIDIA/OpenShell/main/install.sh | sh
openshell sandbox create -- claude
```
</llms-only>
Refer to the [Quickstart](/get-started/quickstart) for more details.
