Triage Summary

This feature request is to implement a container-based OpenShell CLI to support Windows (which lacks a native OpenShell CLI binary). The approach would use the OpenShell extension API to register a container-backed CLI implementation.

Blocking Dependencies

This issue has two prerequisites that must be resolved first:

1. Define OpenShell extension API #2328 — Define OpenShell extension API: The extension API types and registration points (for clients, gateways) need to be defined before any implementation can register against them.
2. Implement OpenShell CLI extension API in the OpenShell extension #2319 — Implement OpenShell CLI extension API (local binary): The local-binary-based implementation establishes the pattern and validates the extension API design. The container-based implementation in this issue would follow the same registration pattern.

Both are part of the broader OpenShell CLI refactoring effort tracked in #2318.

Open Question

The issue mentions an open question about renaming the existing openshell-gateway-podman — this is worth resolving as part of the API definition in #2328 to avoid a follow-up rename.

Once the prerequisites are resolved, this issue should be ready for implementation.

Blocked by:

• Define OpenShell extension API #2328
• Implement OpenShell CLI extension API in the OpenShell extension #2319

Triage Update

Re-triaging based on updated prerequisite state.

Progress on Prerequisites

• Define OpenShell extension API #2328 — Define OpenShell extension API: ✅ Now closed/resolved. The extension API types and registration points have been defined.
• Implement OpenShell CLI extension API in the OpenShell extension #2319 — Implement OpenShell CLI extension API (local binary): Still open and blocked. The local-binary-based implementation establishes the pattern that the container-based implementation in this issue would follow.

Assessment

This issue remains blocked on #2319. The container-based OpenShell CLI implementation depends on the local-binary implementation landing first, as it validates the extension API design and establishes the registration pattern.

Open Question (carried forward)

The open question about renaming openshell-gateway-podman should be resolved as part of the implementation work to avoid a follow-up rename.

Once #2319 is resolved, this issue should be ready for implementation.
