NMSh v0.4.0 brings a richer, context-aware prompt, calmer command output, and a new settings, session, and update foundation.

Highlights

Prompt

  • Right-side prompt context: any module can sit left or right (/prompt → Modules, P). The right side mirrors its geometry to face left by default (M) and is the first thing dropped on narrow terminals.
  • Show-on-command modules: Kubernetes and Docker context, and optionally toolchains, appear only while a relevant command is typed. Typed text is never executed.
  • Intelligent directory shortening: a width-aware path that keeps the repository name and current directory whole.
  • Richer Git state: staged, modified, untracked, conflicts, ahead/behind/diverged, operations, and a clean marker, with a dedicated Rich Git view. Also new: connector fade, fade colors, and Gap Wide.
  • Deterministic prompt showcase in /prompt, rendered by the real renderer.
  • Starship module editor with previewed, confirmed, and backed-up changes, plus a Powerlevel10k configurator handoff.

Output and history

  • Smart output folding: long, repetitive successful output folds to its first 3 and last 5 lines, while failures and useful output stay expanded. Ctrl+O expands, and /copy and /resume keep the full output (Config → Output folding: Smart / Never).
  • Sticky command headers while scrolling.
  • Continuous session journal and advanced /resume: interruption-safe checkpoints, search, and day/week/month navigation.

Editor, settings, and tooling

  • Theme-aware syntax highlighting and /syntax.
  • Central /settings (Settings / Status / Config) on a shared panel shell with consistent Esc/back navigation.
  • Glyph compatibility choice (Nerd Font or Safe/ASCII) on first run, persisted.
  • Reusable task progress for long-running installs.
  • /update reports newer releases and safely updates a clean official source checkout. Background checks are opt-in.
  • Compatible zsh hooks from your own config (zoxide, Atuin) keep working, and shell-theme prompts no longer leak into command output.

Known limitations

  • Configured-zsh completion parity and fzf-tab interoperability are not supported yet (#52).
  • Command-completion desktop notifications are not part of this release.
  • Powerlevel10k: NMSh shows only its left prompt. The right prompt, gitstatus daemon, and instant prompt are not reproduced.
  • Nested activity is limited to directly observed Node TAP v13 streams.
  • /update apply automates only clean source checkouts of the official repository.

Validated in Ghostty. No npm package is published. Full notes are in CHANGELOG.md.
