Work In Progress (WIP)

Current Status

chell is a functional MVP with a modular architecture (src/core, src/session, src/builtins, src/lib). It acts as a direct consumer of the chili library for all its commands, removing the previous reliance on spawning child processes. All unit tests are currently passing.

Recently Implemented

  • Full In-Process Command Execution:
    • chell now directly imports and executes commands (e.g., ls, cd, connect, upload, plugin, feed, files, links, dirs) from the chili library.
    • Eliminated process spawning for core commands, significantly improving performance and integration.
  • Unified Command/View/Model Architecture:
    • chell utilizes shared command logic and presentation (render* views) provided by chili, ensuring consistent behavior and output across both the chili CLI and the chell REPL.
    • All commands adhere to the strict typing guidelines, using src/models from chili where applicable.
  • Enhanced ls Functionality:
    • ls command now supports -l (long listing), -h (human-readable sizes) and /bin virtual directory (for plugins).
    • Generic output options (--table, --csv) are now available for listing commands.
  • New upload Command:
    • Implemented a robust upload <local_path> <remote_path> command, supporting recursive directory uploads from the local filesystem to ChRIS.
  • Improved Plugin Management:
    • plugin list and plugin run commands are now fully integrated and callable in-process.
  • Improved Feed Management:
    • feed list and feed create commands are now fully integrated and callable in-process.
  • File/Link/Dir Management:
    • Added builtin support for files, links, and dirs commands with native list and fieldslist subcommands.
    • Unhandled subcommands (delete, share) automatically fall through to chili with informative messaging.
  • Color Configuration System:
    • Implemented YAML-based color configuration for file system types (colors.yml in chili).
    • Added vfs type to distinguish virtual directories like /bin from regular directories.
    • VFS directories now display in cyanBright, regular dirs in cyan, plugins in green, etc.
    • Color configuration properly resides in chili (view layer), not cumin (infrastructure layer).

Resolved Issues

  • Data Retrieval: Fixed Unknown object context type error by correctly instantiating ChRISFeedGroup in salsa.
  • Command Dispatch: Resolved issues with chili module import paths (dist/ vs. co-located types).
  • Previous ls Refactoring: Successfully consolidated ls logic into chili and removed duplication in chell.
  • Typing Strictness: Ensured pervasive and explicit typing across all refactored code.
  • Tests: All unit tests are passing.
  • Architectural Layering: Moved color configuration from cumin (infrastructure) to chili (view layer) to respect layer separation.
  • VFS Type System: Added vfs type to ListingItem model and updated VFS to properly mark virtual directories.
  • js-yaml Import: Fixed CommonJS/ESM interop issue with js-yaml by using default import pattern.

Known Issues

  • None currently tracked.

Next Steps

  • Enhanced VFS: Implement /feed virtual directory to navigate feeds as filesystems.
  • Path Autocompletion: Implement async path completion in completer.
  • Audit: Final audit of chili, chell (beyond builtins), and salsa for strict typing and RPN naming (especially legacy code not touched in refactor).
