fix(terminal): prevent long URL clipping and improve layout responsiveness

[MAYANKSHARMA01010]

This PR addresses and fixes #8008 where long URLs (such as https://github.com/meshery/meshery/tree/v0.6.0/install/deployment_yamls/k8s) in the Meshery installation terminal on the Getting Started page were getting cut off horizontally on desktop viewports.

Root Cause

1. Invalid CSS Property: The <pre> block in Terminal.style.js was using wrap-word: normal; (an invalid CSS property) without overflow-wrap: anywhere;, causing long strings without whitespace to overflow and be clipped by overflow-x: hidden.
2. Layout & Space Utilization: The previous layout used 18 hardcoded max-width media queries and large fixed margins (margin-left: 150px) that either caused off-screen overflow on certain screens or left an unused void on the right side on wide desktop screens.

Changes Made

• Safe Word Wrapping: Added overflow-wrap: anywhere; and overflow-wrap: break-word; in Terminal.style.js so continuous strings wrap gracefully on narrow viewports without clipping.
• Utilize Right-Side Space: In AnimatedStepsList.style.js, added responsive extension using CSS clamp() on viewports $\ge 1200\text{px}$ so the terminal naturally fills the available space on the right, aligning under the top navigation action buttons with safe margin and zero horizontal page scroll.
• Streamlined Layout: Replaced the 18 hardcoded media query rules with clean flex sizing (flex: 1; min-width: 0; max-width: 100%) and balanced spacing (margin-left: 36px).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request updates responsive sizing and spacing for the animated steps list. It changes the default step width and enables terminal code blocks to wrap long, unbroken content within the available width.

Changes

Terminal layout updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Responsive animated steps layout src/components/Animated-steps-list/AnimatedStepsList.style.js, src/components/Animated-steps-list/Steps-list/Step/Step.style.js	The animated steps container uses flexible spacing, responsive width expansion, fixed margins, and a unified max-width: 100% constraint. StepWrapper now uses a 24rem default width.
Terminal text wrapping src/components/Terminal/Terminal.style.js	The terminal replaces the invalid wrap-word declaration with overflow-wrap: anywhere for long unbroken content.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 16382

The terminal now wraps long URLs and the installation layout is more responsive. Fixed spacing values remain in the responsive layout, creating a bounded consistency risk for future theme or spacing changes.

@MAYANKSHARMA01010 The spacing between the sections seems a bit too tight. Could you increase the spacing slightly to make the layout look cleaner and more balanced?

‎src/components/Terminal/Terminal.style.js

@MAYANKSHARMA01010 There are quite a few changes in Terminal.style.js that seem to be related only to formatting/spacing and pressing Enter, which aren't necessary for this PR. Could you please keep only the changes required for the issue and revert the unrelated formatting changes? This will keep the PR focused and easier to review.

@dhruveshmishra Replaced the hardcoded pixel margins with responsive rem units adjusted container widths for balanced proportions

[dhruveshmishra]

LGTM. These style changes fix the terminal URL clipping and improve responsiveness without affecting application logic. Thank you!
