Date: 2026-02-05 Phase: 1 - Core Engine (Systematic Implementation)
- ✅ All 5 source files converted (519 TS → 681 lines)
- ✅ compilation working
- ✅ RSR compliance achieved (17/17 workflows)
- Commit: e81d5b8
- ✅ NickelTypes.res - Complete type system for Nickel contracts
- Project schemas, deployment schemas
- Platform detection types
- Validation result types
- ✅ NickelParser.res - Nickel/JSON parser
- File loading & parsing
- Project schema parsing
- Platform detection logic
- ✅ PlatformOrchestrator.res - Multi-platform command generation
- Fedora Kinoite (rpm-ostree)
- Debian (nala)
- Android (pkg/mksh)
- macOS (brew)
- Windows (scoop)
- Minix/Edge (static binaries)
- ✅ NicaugCLI.res - Command-line interface
- Commands: build, deploy, validate, info
- Platform detection display
- Mustfile validation
- Deployment plan generation
Status: Compiles successfully | Runtime integration pending
Blockers:
- Missing OS_Lib.Read_Symbolic_Link (GNAT 15.2.1 compatibility)
- Missing OS_Lib.Create_Symbolic_Link
Options:
- Use alternative GNAT.OS_Lib functions
- Implement custom C bindings
- Use Directory_Operations package
Priority: Medium (TUI secondary to core)
Solution: Created minimal runtime shims for
Implementation:
- Built custom Belt/Js module shims in
src/runtime-shims/ - Updated .json import map to route to local shims
- Verified all commands working (help, info, validate)
Status: COMPLETE - nicaug CLI fully functional!
Status: Fully implemented in Rust
Components implemented:
- ✅ Mustfile parser (TOML, must-spec compliant)
- ✅ Platform adapters (6 target types)
- ✅ nicaug bridge (CLI integration)
- ✅ Dependency-aware task execution
- ✅ CLI binary (mustorch)
Location: rust/mustfile-orchestrator/
Verified:
- Parsing & validation working
- Platform detection functional
- Sample Mustfile tested
Status: All 22 shells implemented
Universal shell support providing entry points for every major shell. While just/must handle much of this, the explicit scripts provide direct shell-specific integration where needed.
Implemented:
- ✅ 22 shell-specific entry scripts
- ✅ Shell detection & routing (detect-shell.sh)
- ✅ Test suite (bash & Julia)
- ✅ Complete documentation

- Fix nicaug runtime - Get CLI actually running
- Test nicaug commands - Verify platform detection, Mustfile validation
- Fix Ada TUI - Resolve GNAT compatibility
- Start Mustfile engine - Begin Rust implementation
