GitHub issues define actionable remaining work. Closed issues represent completed work, not a promise that future refinements are finished.


Unreleased (v0.18.0)Implemented on the development line and slated for release in v0.18.0.PR #345

The upcoming v0.18.0 release unites the Context Engine platform, managed agents, and workspace tools into a cohesive integration candidate (PR #345 on release/v0.18.0).

Context Engine Platform & Module Ecosystem (#305)

Section titled “Context Engine Platform & Module Ecosystem (#305)”
  • Capability Scheduling: Demand-driven capability scheduler featuring concurrency caps, timeouts, backoff, and cancellation.
  • First-Party Pack Catalog: All 7 bundled declarative packs (nmsh.project, nmsh.environment, nmsh.infrastructure, nmsh.cloud, nmsh.system, nmsh.vcs, nmsh.agents) shipping under nmsh.context-pack/v1.
  • Pack Lifecycle CLI: nmsh packs subcommands (list, inspect, install, remove, enable, disable) with sha256 verification and automatic module discovery in /prompt.
  • Coding Assistant Context: Claude Code session telemetry via its official status line (nmsh agent-status), showing model, token usage, cost, and rate-limit countdowns without terminal scraping.
  • Surface Routing: Status Strip 2.0 routing, /modules management, and Context Rail fitting.

Managed Agents & Workspaces (#329, #342, #343, #344, #346)

Section titled “Managed Agents & Workspaces (#329, #342, #343, #344, #346)”
  • Worktree Manager (/worktrees): Interactive git worktree planning, branch switching, and safe removal safeguards.
  • GitHub Workspaces (/github, /prs, /issues): Read-only repository telemetry over the local gh CLI.
  • Managed Agent Workspaces (/claude, /ai): Full-height terminal workspace management for coding assistant sessions.
  • Menu System (/mods): Native menu navigation with accessible styling for non-color terminals.
  • Terminal Title Ownership: Clean window and tab title ownership via OSC 0/2 escapes; restores the host’s prior title upon exit.
  • Theme Bridge: Truthful delta status and verified 16/8-color terminal correctness.
  • Transcript Integrity: Output boundary repairs after terminal clears and Fish editor keystroke protection.

Released stable version. Includes:

  • Theme Studio (/theme): Built-in, Imported, and Custom themes with live previews.
  • Theme Bridge (/theme-bridge): Synchronize NMSh themes to fzf, bat, tmux, less, vim, neovim, and helix.
  • Context Engine Foundation: Typed fact metadata, trust levels, and the Context Rail.
  • Curated Tools Browser (/tools): Detects tools and configures shell frameworks safely.
  • Keep Awake (/zoomies, /caffeinate, /awake): OS-level sleep inhibition with configurable timeouts and composer edge presentation.

These items are deferred to future milestones and are not part of the v0.18.0 release candidate:

  • Remote Pack Registry: Download, package repositories, and signature trust verification.
  • Executable Extension Tier: Arbitrary third-party executable extension execution (would require a sandboxing runtime).
  • Additional Shell Backends: Nushell and PowerShell implementations for the ShellAdapter.
  • Lone Scrollback Clears: Refining the handling of standalone ESC[3J escapes post-v0.18.
  • Hosted SSH Demos: Hosted demonstration environments (post-1.0).
