Open this page in Lynx and you get: the masthead as a line of text, the navigation as a numbered list, the lead essay as a headline followed by prose, and every card as a heading with a date under it. No layout survives. Every word does.

That is the acceptance test. If a dispatch is unreadable in a terminal, the dispatch is wrong, not the terminal.
