| - `setMaxSize(Integer)` — caps the number of entries; `null` = unbounded. When `setMaxSize` trims an over-large existing list it removes from the front (`remove(0)`, oldest first). However, `add()` drops the newly-added entry via `removeLast()` when the list is already at capacity — meaning new commands are silently discarded when the cap is full. |

Behavior is documented and matches implementation, but public API lacks clarity on capacity handling.
The add() method implementation confirms the documented behavior: when the history list is already at capacity (size == maxSize), the newly-added entry is appended then immediately removed via removeLast(), causing new commands to be silently discarded. This behavior is accurately described in CLAUDE.md but is not documented in the public method's JavaDoc.
However, there's a semantic inconsistency worth noting: setMaxSize() removes from the front when trimming an oversized list (oldest first), but add() removes from the back when at capacity (newest first). This LIFO-on-add vs. FIFO-on-trim asymmetry is counterintuitive. Consider whether the add() method should instead remove from the front to maintain consistent FIFO semantics, or whether the public JavaDoc for add() should explicitly document the capacity-full behavior to set user expectations.

--repo FlowingCode/XTermConsoleAddon \
--title "TerminalHistory: inconsistent eviction policy between setMaxSize() and add()" \
--assignee "javier-godoy" \
--body "## Summary
\`TerminalHistory.add()\` has an asymmetric capacity eviction policy compared to \`setMaxSize()\`:
- \`setMaxSize(Integer)\` — when trimming an oversized list, removes from the **front** (\`remove(0)\`, oldest-first / FIFO).
- \`add()\` — when the list is already at capacity (\`size == maxSize\`), appends the new entry then immediately removes from the **back** (\`removeLast()\`), silently discarding the **newest** command (LIFO-on-add).
This asymmetry is counterintuitive: users who set a max size would reasonably expect that older entries are evicted to make room for newer ones, consistent with how \`setMaxSize()\` itself trims the list.
## Suggested Fix
In \`add()\`, replace the \`removeLast()\` call with a \`removeFirst()\` (or \`remove(0)\`) **before** appending the new entry, so that capacity eviction is consistently FIFO (oldest entry discarded). Update the \`add()\` JavaDoc to explicitly document the eviction policy and reference \`setMaxSize(Integer)\`.

Learning: In the XTermConsoleAddon project, using `Object` as a type for the `addons` property in `xterm-element.ts` is acceptable for the implementation, despite typical TypeScript best practices that would suggest more specific typing.
