2. 🔍 Interactive Arrow-Navigated CLI Explorer (iobend search)

  • Terminal search selector powered by @inquirer/prompts with real-time arrow-key navigation.
  • Multi-stage fuzzy matching across canonical IDs, descriptions, and categories.
  • Instant 1-click execution: Select any tool to immediately trigger iobend install <tool>.

3. 🛡️ Intelligent Normalizer & Disambiguation Engine

  • 238 Validated Aliases: Type code, vs code, py, nodejs, node.js, postgres, psql, gh, npp, adoptium, vs2022, android studio, or berace to automatically resolve to canonical packages.
  • Ambiguity Protection: Queries like visual studio or sql prompt for selection (Visual Studio 2022 vs VS Code / PostgreSQL vs MySQL vs SQL Server) without guessing incorrectly.

4. ⚡ Modernized Web Catalog (/tools) & Stack Configurator

  • Universal Search HUD: Instant keyboard navigation with Ctrl + K or / shortcut.
  • Smart Disambiguation Chips: Interactive suggestion pills for multi-target queries.
  • View Modes & Sorting: Toggle between Rich Card Grid (with official SVG logos) and high-density Compact List view; sort by Name, Category, or Platform Compatibility.
  • Active Stack Configurator: Select tool checkboxes to instantly synthesize:
    • iobend.yaml project manifest
    • One-line CLI install command
    • docker-compose.yml for database containers
    • .env.example secret connection strings

5. 🛠️ CI/CD & GitHub Actions Modernization

  • Upgraded CI workflows and generator to target Node 22 LTS / Node 24.
  • Configured actions/upload-artifact@v4 with 1-day retention to prevent artifact quota limits.
