Quiet Console History

Read-only by default

Every visual action leaves a short event with the equivalent command shape and consequence. The controls remain primary; this history is for debugging, docs, and confidence before resets.

SAVEpg save "Unsaved Playground" would persist this site to browser storage and add it to Your Playgrounds.

RESETpg config apply --reset requires confirmation because it wipes DB, files, uploads, and edits.

IMPORTpg import github WordPress/twentytwentyfive --as=theme mounts a GitHub theme route.

EXPORTpg export zip downloads the current Playground as a .zip snapshot.
