Research direction

Start with PR #5, line 65, and inspect the definition and uses of Term to understand how its name relates to render transactions, fixed dimensions, and cell-buffer diffing state. Compare the proposed names Screen and Region, then document the chosen direction and identify every affected reference before considering the rename complete.

Description

From spec review (PR #5, line 65): consider whether Term should be renamed to Screen or Region to better communicate what the type represents.

Term is the object through which the caller performs render transactions. A name like Screen or Region might more clearly convey that it is bound to specific dimensions and owns the cell-buffer diffing state, rather than suggesting it represents a terminal device.
