nbshell 0.1.0-beta.13

nbshell 0.1.0-beta.13

This beta includes the approved Omarchy surface alignment, Work Desk and the performance/security/release-hygiene corrections below. The custom bar, extra features and persistent configuration are preserved.

Updating Mail

Mail uses a separately installed backend. After updating nbshell, use Mail's explicit backend installation prompt if requested. Loading the plugin never silently downloads it. The required version is 0.10.4-nbshell.1, maintained by nbshell, with Rustls 0.23.45. Existing accounts, drafts, caches and keyring entries are preserved.

The backend release includes static Linux x86_64 and ARM64 packages, source/build evidence and checksums. Both architectures were tested again after public download, including the actual installer and API contract. The shell source pins their exact archive hashes.

Changes

Added

• Optional Work Desk above the wallpaper and below normal windows, with
  OpenClaw/Herdr sessions, progress, local Git summaries, subscription quotas,
  compact daily CLI activity and machine status.
• Persistent per-module switches, Mod+Alt+I visibility toggle and explicitly
  pinned project directories through nbshell work.
• Dashboard WORK page and a shared demand-driven session/Git cache; no second
  collector daemon, prompt-history display or implicit service startup.
• Isolated Wayland regression coverage for responsive Work Desk layouts,
  keyboard/pointer controls, scroll focus and shared polling demand.

Changed

• Completed the approved Omarchy look-and-feel alignment across core panels,
  notifications, pickers and bundled native tools while preserving the custom
  bar, layouts and additional features.
• Updated approved native integration baselines, including Mail and Umbriel,
  while retaining nbshell-specific compatibility patches.
• Minecraft setup installs quietly through the themed panel, verifies native
  dependencies and registers its branded Apps shortcut without auto-opening Prism.
• Refreshed project overview, current-source gallery and user-guide navigation.

Fixed

• Mail now pins the verified nbshell backend rebuild with Rustls 0.23.45,
  closing RUSTSEC-2026-0285 in the delivered executable, not only its source.
  Both Linux architectures are tested after publication; archive hashes are
  anchored in the shell release and failed installs preserve the prior runtime.
• Project status no longer executes configured Git content filters or inherits
  Git environment overrides. Output is capped and timeout/cancellation cleans
  up the complete command process group.
• Bundled plugin installation excludes local build output and development caches,
  validates the staged payload and retains transactional rollback.
• Added the Work Desk Git regression suite to the complete release gate.
• Restored the complete bundled Mail validation target without claiming absent
  standalone-app tests, and repaired the strict manual build's design link.

Beta testing

• Git summaries deliberately ignore nested submodule dirt and bypass content
  filters; use the project's normal Git tools for filter-aware status.
• Existing live visual acceptance is retained. Fresh-machine onboarding,
  external-display/suspend coverage and full-stack accessibility certification
  remain separate beta checks; see the review report and compatibility guide.

Maintenance and review

• Code review and verification limits
• Mail backend maintenance, rollback and return-to-upstream policy

The shell installer archive has a SHA-256 sidecar and a Sigstore bundle. Verify it through the nbshell updater's existing workflow-identity policy. Backend-only releases are not shell updates.
