Description

The terminal dock's informational state contains more detail than users find useful, and the More information link has a button-sized hover background that looks like extra padding.

Reduce the empty state to its existing heading and console icon, documentation link, and backtick-key hint. Make More information a normal text link with an underline on hover and a visible keyboard-focus outline, without a filled hover box. Active terminals, tabs, resizing, and detach/collapse controls remain unchanged.

Remove the resource-link-only subscription and cached state, unused localized strings, and obsolete styles. Regenerate XLF resources and update component and existing browser-test expectations.

User-facing usage

Open the empty terminal dock using the dashboard's terminal button or the backtick key. It shows No docked terminals, More information, and the hint to press backtick to hide the panel. Hovering the documentation link underlines the text without displaying a padded background.

Validation

  • 73 focused terminal-dock, telemetry, and main-layout component tests passed, excluding quarantined and outerloop tests.
  • Updated dashboard browser-test project builds with no warnings or errors; outerloop tests were not run.
  • Inspected actual Chromium rendering, hover and keyboard focus, and content bounds at normal, narrow, and compact sizes in light and dark themes. The standalone preview had no resource server; its disconnect overlay was dismissed for layout checks.
  • UpdateXlf completed and git diff --check passed.

Screenshots / Recordings

This PR includes UI changes. Please add screenshots or screen recordings so reviewers can evaluate the visual changes without running locally.

  • For before/after comparisons, place them side-by-side or label them clearly.
  • For interactive changes (animations, transitions, new flows), prefer a short screen recording (GIF or video).
  • TODO: Attach the captured empty-dock screenshot showing the More information hover state. Installed GitHub CLI 2.98.0 does not advertise attachment support. Review the empty dock at normal and compact heights, including hover and keyboard focus.

I watched the video posted offline. Add it to the PR in future.

I don't like that the link is blue compared to all other links in the dashboard which are the purple accent. But this can change when the terminal is updated to use the dashboard colors in the future.

📝 Documentation has been drafted in microsoft/aspire.dev#1766 targeting release/13.6.

Triggered signals (3): pr_body_has_user_facing_section, pr_body_has_cli_flag_mention, pr_body_has_deprecation_marker — the PR body's "User-facing usage" section describes the simplified empty terminal dock ("Open the empty terminal dock using the dashboard's terminal button or the backtick key. It shows No docked terminals, More information, and the hint to press backtick to hide the panel.") and confirms removal of the resource-links subsection and obsolete strings. Diff review of TerminalDock.razor/TerminalStrings.resx confirms TerminalDockResourceTerminals and TerminalDockPanelBody strings were removed and the empty-state markup was reduced to heading, "More information" link, and the backtick hint. Added a short paragraph to dashboard/explore.mdx's "Interactive terminals" section describing the simplified empty-dock experience (open via terminal button or backtick key; heading, More information link, backtick-to-hide hint), since this behavior wasn't previously documented.

Note

This draft PR needs human review before merging.

Backport of #20537 to release/13.6

## Customer Impact

Customers opening an empty terminal dock see unnecessary explanatory
details and a padded hover box on the documentation link. This
simplifies the panel to its console icon, heading, More information text
link, and backtick-key hint. The link uses an underline on hover and
retains visible keyboard focus.

## Testing

Validated on this release/13.6 backport:
- 73 focused component tests passed, with no failures or skips:
`TerminalDockTests`, `TerminalDockInitializationTests`,
`TerminalDockTelemetryTests`, and `MainLayoutTerminalTests`. Quarantined
and outerloop tests were excluded.
- `dotnet build
tests/Aspire.Dashboard.Tests/Aspire.Dashboard.Tests.csproj --verbosity
quiet` passed with zero warnings and errors after restoring missing
assets.
- `dotnet build src/Aspire.Dashboard/Aspire.Dashboard.csproj
/t:UpdateXlf --no-restore --verbosity quiet` passed and produced no
additional changes.
- `git diff --check` passed. The changed terminal component and test
files match the merged source commit.

The source PR additionally reports Chromium hover, keyboard-focus, and
normal/narrow/compact layout checks in light and dark themes; its
standalone preview's resource-disconnect overlay was dismissed for those
checks. Those visual checks were not rerun on this release branch.
Outerloop browser tests were not run on either branch.

## Risk

Low. The change is confined to the dashboard empty state and removal of
its now-unused resource subscription, state, localized strings, and
styles. There are no public API or runtime terminal changes; active
terminals, tabs, resizing, detach/collapse controls, keyboard lifecycle
behavior, and the source PR's link colors are preserved.

## Regression?

Not identified as a regression in the source PR.

## Description

Cherry-picked merged main commit
`b854c44a517c09f8f76fdb6b6ce3a8bf2df1c6b1` with `-x`. It applied cleanly
with no conflicts or release-specific code adjustments. This includes
the source component/browser expectation updates and generated
localization removals.

The earlier bot attempt failed while pushing, after applying the patch
successfully: [backport workflow
run](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/actions/runs/36368588645). No
bot or version changes are included; release/13.6 is configured for
unshipped 13.6.0.

### User-facing usage

Open the empty dock using the dashboard terminal button or backtick key.
It shows **No docked terminals**, **More information**, and the
backtick-key hint. Hovering the documentation link underlines its text
without a filled box.

## Summary

<!-- Describe what this pull request changes and why. -->

Reconcile the 13.6 wiki audit and **all 25 open `docs-from-code`
proposals targeting `release/13.6`** against the actual release source.
Add missing canonical guidance rather than putting all coverage in
What's new. This is a new, isolated feature PR into `release/13.6`; it
does not update the release rollup #1599, merge or close another
proposal, or push directly to a release branch.

**Draft with explicit remaining packaging/validation gates:** the six
REPL walkthroughs are source-verified, but current publicly available
13.6 packages do not contain the late `WithRepl` exports. Generated API
catalogs have deliberately not been fabricated or refreshed from 14.x.
See the open checklist below.

### Evidence baseline

- Documentation base: `717442f6666948bcf77f3d704dc2dadf7c080ec2`.
- Product source of truth:
[`microsoft/aspire@e8fd6fbb954f50ccd2e66479538392f65e13e71d`](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/tree/e8fd6fbb954f50ccd2e66479538392f65e13e71d),
current `release/13.6` at audit time. Source was read from that Git
object, not the stale source working directory.
- [13.6 wiki](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/wiki/13.6-Change-log)
snapshot `8e01a371d4f16a1306e48174d4cf1fdeca714348`, whose cutoff is
product PR 20511. Later backports 20541/20546/20548 are included here.
- Proposal base branches alone were **not** used as proof of release
membership. Direct ancestry and known release backports were checked.
Four fallback-targeted proposals are excluded below.
- Wiki link corrections: its REPL link #1752 actually covers Sandboxes;
the REPL proposal is #1740. Its AOT link #1714 covers PFX certificates,
not AOT.

### Complete audit-gap checklist

Checked items mean documentation coverage is implemented, not that cloud
deployment or every product runtime scenario was executed.

- [x] **1. Dotnet API graduation:** correct removal to **13.6**, not
14.0, in What's new, both Dotnet guides, and the diagnostic page;
preserve the prerelease package caveat. This applies to core
`AddDotnetProject`, `DotnetProjectResource`, and related
`WithBuildEnvironment` overloads, not all uses of the diagnostic.
Source: microsoft/aspire#20496.
- [x] **2. Sandboxes:** remove obsolete API suppressions in the article
and deployment guide while preserving Azure service preview/access and
prerelease package limitations. Source: microsoft/aspire#20483.
- [x] **3. Docked REPL documentation:** all six
PostgreSQL/MySQL/MongoDB/SQL Server/Redis/Valkey guides plus the article
now cover opt-in `WithRepl`/`withRepl`, run-only availability, actual
client privileges, credential handling, and explicit exit versus closing
a viewer. Source: microsoft/aspire#20419, backport of
microsoft/aspire#20231. Package-backed checks remain open below.
- [x] **4. Terminal CLI flag:** update current 13.6 article,
`with-terminal`, and all three terminal command references. Preserve
`terminals.v1` and experimental hosting API distinctions. Current
configuration/schema data had no flag entry to remove; historical 13.5
notes remain historical. Source: microsoft/aspire#20548.
- [x] **5. First-party Rust:** rewrite both canonical Rust guides around
`Aspire.Hosting.Rust`; document Cargo versus application arguments,
typed targets, debugging, generated Dockerfiles, workspace context, ABI
constraints, and Toolkit migration. Bacon remains explicitly
Toolkit-only. Add exact first-party package mapping. Source:
microsoft/aspire#18906 and current Rust README.
- [x] **6. Agent setup:** align command reference, skills guide,
AI-agent guide, and article on MCP opt-in, `--mcp`,
chained/non-interactive behavior, seven-skill catalog, Project v2
migration, and Copilot app detection. Also fix stale default-selection
text: all applicable bundle skills are preselected; companion tools
remain opt-in. Sources: microsoft/aspire#19893, microsoft/aspire#20405,
microsoft/aspire#19820.
- [x] **7. Deno AppHost runtime:** document Deno 2+ detection, commands,
permissions, native watch/type checking, doctor, and `DENO_CERT`,
separately from Deno guest hosting. Source: microsoft/aspire#18627,
distinct from microsoft/aspire#18628.
- [x] **8. Native AOT / Fluent UI v5:** concise article, dashboard
exploration, and standalone guidance; automatic packaged-dashboard
selection, no invented performance figures. Source:
microsoft/aspire#19565 and release packaging sources.
- [x] **9. NuGet:** document bundled in-process operations, credential
providers, non-interactive authentication, and realistic
troubleshooting. Correct the proposal's `dotnet nuget locals`
authentication advice: cache commands do not authenticate a feed.
Source: microsoft/aspire#20391.
- [x] **10. Multithreaded builds:** article and coordinated-build guide
explain `-mt`, SDK detection, distinct project/file-based SDK floors,
and fallback. Source: microsoft/aspire#20441.
- [x] **11. Radius:** add a real deployment guide with C#/TypeScript
setup, recipe-backed connections versus local endpoints, per-resource
credential behavior, unauthenticated Redis limitation, secret exposure
boundaries, and actionable runtime diagnostics 070–091. Wire navigation
and exact package mapping. Source: microsoft/aspire#19555 and release
README.
- [x] **12. Connection aliases:** replace contradictory no-encoding
guidance, retain composed logical-key-first lookup and portable-target
behavior, explain collision detection and custom-publisher metadata.
Source: microsoft/aspire#19729.
- [x] **13. Connector Namespace / Toolbox / provisioning:** add
Connector Namespace walkthrough, security/consent/revocation limits and
mapping/sidebar; add Foundry Toolbox walkthrough, connection properties,
roles, index prerequisites, approval enforcement boundaries, immutable
versions, and existing-resource behavior. Extend existing Azure
provisioning guide without a duplicate page. Sources:
microsoft/aspire#19024, microsoft/aspire#17742, microsoft/aspire#20131.
- [x] **14. Remaining high-impact items:** article covers opt-in
manifest-aware DNX and new-template CLI bundling (existing SDK guides
retained), migration skill and Copilot app detection; canonical inline
`CsiVolumeSourceV1`/`VolumeV1.Csi` example, management links, Cosmos
vNext telemetry, and AI Inference `GetModelInfoAsync`/`/info` health
checks with `DisableHealthChecks`. No Azure OpenAI health-check claim.
Sources: microsoft/aspire#19310, microsoft/aspire#19076,
microsoft/aspire#19826, microsoft/aspire#20070, microsoft/aspire#15671,
microsoft/aspire#15969.
- [x] **15. All 25 proposal dispositions:** listed below, including
newer dashboard backports and four exclusions. Existing Sandbox
inference coverage is retained rather than copied from a stale draft.
- [ ] **16. Refresh generated API/catalog/Twoslash data from an official
post-backport 13.6 build.** Existing `26473.12`/`a11eca96` data remains
untouched. The newest public `dotnet9` feed package checked,
`13.6.0-preview.1.26474.10` at
`43496a2a306c81c862c947b11b4f4e5494b6fe08`, still has no Redis
`WithRepl` in its actual package XML. Do not use 14.x, hand-edit
declarations, or attribute source changes to older binaries.
- [ ] **Validate the six REPL examples against that actual post-backport
SDK and running clients.** Their new TypeScript fences are plain
TypeScript, not annotated with unsupported Twoslash data. No existing
diagnostics are allowlisted or suppressed; no generated API exports are
fabricated. Enable Twoslash when the genuine catalog catches up.

| #1719 | microsoft/aspire#20299 → microsoft/aspire#20407 — @JamesNK |
**Corrected/adopted:** cookie naming/scoping; identical names can
collide but do not guarantee cross-dashboard cookie decryptability or
shared sign-in. |
| #1664 | microsoft/aspire#20011 — @maddymontaquila | **Adopted:**
concise Azure environment icon release note. |
| #1628 | microsoft/aspire#17742 — @davidfowl | **Adapted/expanded:**
canonical Toolbox examples, consumer contract, role/index prerequisites,
approval/security and concurrency limits. |
| #1623 | microsoft/aspire#19810 — @mitchdenny | **Already covered:**
current Sandbox guide/article already describe compute inference,
explicit selection and external endpoints. Preserve that guidance while
removing obsolete suppressions. |
| #1620 | microsoft/aspire#19243 — @sebastienros | **Adapted:** AKS
credential-before-Helm cleanup and destructive-operation warning; omit
misleading ambient-context workaround. |
| #1614 | microsoft/aspire#19870 — @sebastienros | **Adopted:** typed
callback handle behavior in extension authoring and article. |
| #1574 | microsoft/aspire#19430 — @mitchdenny | **Adapted:** canonical
hostname inheritance, explicit-host precedence, catch-all default
backend. |
| #1570 | microsoft/aspire#19590 — @karolz-ms | **Adopted:** Dev Tunnel
URL regression troubleshooting. |
| #1565 | microsoft/aspire#19429 — @mitchdenny | **Corrected/adopted:**
Helm embedded parameters with real `refExpr` and `addParameter(name, {
value })`, not stringifying a handle or using an invalid actual-SDK
overload. |
| #1564 | microsoft/aspire#19026 — @karolz-ms | **Corrected/adopted:**
C#/TypeScript Dotnet gateway walkthrough. Retain both experimental
diagnostics; remove obsolete run-only restriction after
microsoft/aspire#19997 publishing support. Avoid imported ambiguous API
reference. |
| #1499 | microsoft/aspire#19248 — @IEvangelist | **Adopted:** describe
exact secret-value redaction and embedded-secret limit; release article
already covered the fix. |

### Important source-verified corrections to proposals / earlier audit
assumptions

-
[`BlazorGatewayExtensions.cs`](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/blob/e8fd6fbb954f50ccd2e66479538392f65e13e71d/src/Aspire.Hosting.Blazor/BlazorGatewayExtensions.cs):
`AddDotnetProjectBlazorGateway` and the Dotnet `WithBlazorClientApp`
overload still carry `ASPIREDOTNETPROJECT001`; the class carries
`ASPIREBLAZOR001`. They share `WithBlazorClientAppCore`/`WithBlazorApp`
and the publish-companion path. Thus neither blanket diagnostic
retirement nor the proposal's old run-only claim is correct.
-
[`SkillDefinition.cs`](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/blob/e8fd6fbb954f50ccd2e66479538392f65e13e71d/src/Aspire.Cli/Agents/SkillDefinition.cs)
sets bundled skills' `IsDefault=true`;
[`AgentInitCommand.cs`](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/blob/e8fd6fbb954f50ccd2e66479538392f65e13e71d/src/Aspire.Cli/Commands/AgentInitCommand.cs)
selects the applicable catalog defaults for both flows. MCP has its own
standalone-only binding.
-
[`TypeScriptAppHostToolchainResolver.cs`](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/blob/e8fd6fbb954f50ccd2e66479538392f65e13e71d/src/Aspire.Cli/Projects/TypeScriptAppHostToolchainResolver.cs)
is the source for Deno flags and certificate variable; guest Deno
hosting is separate.
- [`Radius
README`](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/blob/e8fd6fbb954f50ccd2e66479538392f65e13e71d/src/Aspire.Hosting.Radius/README.md)
supplies the resource-specific credential rules and publish diagnostics,
not assumptions about local endpoints.

## Third-party links and affiliations

<!-- List third-party links and disclose material affiliations. -->

Links point to official Microsoft Learn, VS Code Marketplace debugger
extensions, Rust/Cargo/Bacon documentation, Radius documentation, and
source repositories. No sponsorship, commercial endorsement, or
affiliation claim is introduced. Maintainers should supply any personal
affiliation disclosure required by policy; automation has not inferred
one.

## Validation

<!-- List the checks you ran or explain why validation isn't needed. -->

- **97 passing focused unit checks** across API-reference
authoring/rendering, Twoslash blocks, file-tree formatting, CLI
configuration schema, SEO lengths, and resource catalog.
- **82 passing structured-data checks**, including exact integration
mapping uniqueness and page resolution.
- **11 C# samples compile**, zero warnings/errors, using genuine
`13.6.0-preview.1.26473.12` packages. Scope: Rust, Connector Namespace,
Radius, Toolbox, inline CSI, Helm, Blazor gateway, and provisioning.
`Projects.Api/Worker/Client` use compile-only `IProjectMetadata`
stand-ins; no claim of running those apps or provisioning cloud
resources.
- **10 TypeScript samples pass `tsc`** under `strict`, `NodeNext`, and
`ES2022` against three **unmodified actual SDK files**, not just the
site's declaration bundle. The fixture uses the exact `e8fd6fbb` release
`AtsCapabilityScanner` and genuine `26473.12`
TypeSystem/code-generator/integration binaries, whose informational
source is `a11eca96`. This is an isolated local generation fixture,
**not** a claim that official CLI generation or a new packaged release
was tested. An attempted restore with the older handed-off local CLI
could not discover an AppHost server; the bounded direct generator
fixture was used instead.
- The SDK scan is **not globally warning-free**: it reports a Radius
`withContainerImage` collision on `CSharpAppResource` and an App
Configuration `createRoleAssignment` overload collision. None of the
compiled examples calls those colliding methods; the warnings are
retained in evidence, not suppressed, and no generated declarations were
edited.
- Browser: Connector Namespace, Radius, both Rust pages, Foundry
hosting, and What's new return **HTTP 200**, correct headings, and no
rendered Twoslash errors. New guide/article page-local anchors and the
cross-page Blazor anchor resolve. Connector/Radius mobile layouts have
no horizontal overflow; Connector language-tab interaction works.
Standalone Astro preview emits expected `/api/live` 404s because
StaticHost is not running.
- `git diff --check` passes. No production `pnpm build`, cloud
deployment, REPL runtime session, full product suite, or blanket
validation of every pre-existing example was performed.
- Generated C#/TypeScript API data, declaration bundles, integration
catalogs, image catalogs, and contributor data are unchanged. Only the
authored package-to-guide mapping is updated.

**Before merging:** complete the two packaging/REPL checkboxes above,
inspect CI, and obtain human review. This PR intentionally does not
close or merge the source documentation proposals.
