🎯 Goal: Establish Virtual Commands as the Killer Feature No Competitor Can Match

This PR transforms command-stream into an extensible shell ecosystem with revolutionary features that no competitor offers.

🔥 Revolutionary Features

📦 Package Installation System

// Install git helper commands
const result = await $.install('@command-stream/git-tools');
// Auto-registers: git-status-clean, git-branch-list

// Install file system tools  
await $.install('@command-stream/file-tools');
// Auto-registers: enhanced-ls, tree-view

// Install deployment automation
await $.install('@command-stream/deploy-tools'); 
// Auto-registers: deploy

⚡ Custom Command Creation

// Create basic command
$.create('greet', async ({ args }) => {
  const name = args[0] || 'World';
  return { stdout: `Hello, ${name}!\n`, code: 0 };
});

// Create streaming command with async generators
$.create('live-data', async function* ({ args }) {
  for (let i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
    yield `Data chunk ${i}\n`;
    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 100));
  }
}, { streaming: true });

🔧 Command Extension & Middleware

// Simple middleware
$.extend('ls', async (result) => ({
  ...result,
  stdout: '[ENHANCED] ' + result.stdout
}));

// Pre/post middleware hooks
$.extend('deploy', {
  pre: async (context) => {
    // Validation before deployment
    console.log('🔍 Pre-deployment checks...');
    return context;
  },
  post: async (result, context) => {
    // Actions after deployment
    if (result.code === 0) {
      console.log('🎉 Deployment successful!');
    }
    return result;
  }
});

🔗 Command Composition

// Pipeline composition
$.compose('data-pipeline', ['generate-data', 'process-data', 'save-data'], {
  mode: 'pipeline' // stdout -> stdin chaining
});

// Sequence composition  
$.compose('ci-pipeline', ['test', 'build', 'deploy'], {
  mode: 'sequence',
  continueOnError: false
});

🛒 Marketplace & Discovery

// Search for packages
const results = await $.marketplace.search('git');
console.log(`Found ${results.total} packages`);

// Get package details
const info = await $.marketplace.info('@command-stream/git-tools');
console.log(`Commands: ${info.commands.join(', ')}`);

// List installed packages
const installed = $.marketplace.list();
console.log(`${installed.length} packages installed`);

🔄 Hot-Reloadable Development

// Enable hot reload for development
$.hotReload('my-command', './commands/my-command.mjs');
// File changes automatically reload the command

🏢 Enterprise Capabilities

Production Deployment Pipeline

// Environment validation
$.create('validate-env', async ({ args }) => {
  const env = args[0];
  if (!['dev', 'staging', 'prod'].includes(env)) {
    return { stderr: `Invalid environment: ${env}`, code: 1 };
  }
  return { stdout: `✅ Environment ${env} validated\n`, code: 0 };
});

// Security scanning
$.create('security-scan', async () => {
  return { 
    stdout: '🔒 Security scan complete - All checks passed\n', 
    code: 0 
  };
});

// Compose full pipeline
$.compose('production-deploy', [
  'validate-env',
  'security-scan', 
  'run-tests',
  'deploy'
], { mode: 'sequence' });

Performance Monitoring

$.create('perf-monitor', async function* ({ args }) {
  const duration = parseInt(args[0]) || 10;
  for (let i = 0; i < duration; i++) {
    const cpu = Math.round(Math.random() * 100);
    const memory = Math.round(Math.random() * 8000);
    yield `[${i}s] CPU: ${cpu}%, Memory: ${memory}MB\n`;
    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000));
  }
}, { streaming: true });

📊 Implementation Details

Core Architecture

  • Package Storage: Map for installed packages with version tracking
  • Middleware Chaining: Proper pre/post execution hooks
  • Command Composition: Pipeline and sequence execution modes
  • State Management: Clean separation with ecosystem cleanup functions
  • Hot Reloading: File watching with cache invalidation

New API Surface

// Main $ object extensions
$.install(packageName, options)      // Install command packages
$.create(name, handler, options)     // Create custom commands  
$.extend(commandName, middleware)    // Add middleware to commands
$.compose(name, commands, options)   // Compose command workflows
$.marketplace.search(query)          // Search package marketplace
$.marketplace.info(packageName)      // Get package information
$.marketplace.list()                 // List installed packages
$.hotReload(name, filePath)          // Enable hot reloading
