Subject: [PATCH 01/23] feat: replace picocli with aesh for CLI parsing

Migrate jbang's CLI framework from picocli to aesh, leveraging aesh's
compile-time annotation processor to eliminate runtime reflection and
improve startup performance.

Key changes:
- Replace all picocli annotations with aesh equivalents
- Convert Callable<Integer> commands to Command<CommandInvocation>
- Port custom type converters and parameter consumers to aesh
- Implement external plugin discovery, default value provider,
  deprecated flag detection, and grouped help sections
- Add usage examples header and branding footer via HelpSectionProvider
- Use enum types (Format, Source.Type) with aesh's native validation
- Add arity and paramLabel to @Argument/@Arguments
- Rewrite docs generator (genadoc.java) for aesh command model
- Regenerate native-image configuration

Performance (vs picocli, median):
- Native image: 6ms vs 33ms (5.5x faster) for single commands
- JDK 25: 109ms vs 228ms (2.1x faster)
- JDK 11: 149ms vs 269ms (1.8x faster)

Subject: [PATCH 03/23] refactor: remove reflection from CLI command
 introspection

Replace reflection-based command tree walking with aesh's
CommandRegistry/ProcessedCommand API in three places:

- Config.ConfigList.gatherKeys: used getDeclaredFields() and
  @Option/@Mixin annotations to discover configurable option names
- JBangDefaultValueProvider.buildPaths: used @GroupCommandDefinition
  and @CommandDefinition annotations to map classes to dotted paths
- BaseCommand.missingSubcommand: used @GroupCommandDefinition to
  list subcommands; now uses commandInvocation.getHelpInfo()

This eliminates all runtime reflection on command classes, fixing
native image errors (MissingReflectionRegistrationError for mixin
classes) without needing reachability-metadata.json entries.

Subject: [PATCH 04/23] fix: resolve bugs found during aesh migration review

- Fix Info.ScriptInfo.init(Project) where repositories was assigned
  twice: once inside the null-source branch and unconditionally after,
  making the first assignment dead code
- Fix RunMixin.opts() debug serialization to emit a single
  --debug=key=val,key=val entry instead of multiple -d flags that
  cannot round-trip through DebugOptionParser
- Fix Alias.AliasAdd.docs to use @OptionList instead of @Option for
  List<String>, enabling correct multi-value accumulation in aesh
- Fix Info.ClassPath.doCall() NPE when resolvedDependencies is null
  due to BuildContext initialization failure

Subject: [PATCH 05/23] refactor: address medium-severity issues from aesh
 migration review

- Add catch-all for unchecked exceptions in BaseCommand.execute() to
  prevent aesh from converting arbitrary exceptions to exit code 4
- Add StrictOptionParser to Info.BaseInfoCommand.module for consistent
  --module=value syntax with Build/Run (was lost in picocli migration)
- Add helpGroup "Essentials" to Info @GroupCommandDefinition so it
  appears in the correct help group like other commands
- Remove unused getCommandPath(String) from JBangDefaultValueProvider
- Extract shared prefix-resolution logic from DebugOptionParser and
  StrictOptionParser into StrictOptionParser.fullPrefix()

Subject: [PATCH 06/23] test: assert Main.getSubcommandNames() matches JBang
 annotation

Add a test that verifies the hardcoded subcommand name list in
Main.getSubcommandNames() stays in sync with the groupCommands
array in JBang's @GroupCommandDefinition annotation. This prevents
silent breakage of implicit-run detection when commands are added
or removed.

Make Main.getSubcommandNames() public so the test can access it
from the dev.jbang.cli test package.

Subject: [PATCH 07/23] fix: improve test safety and reduce unnecessary
 allocations

- Replace System.exit() with ExitException in Main.handleDefaultRun()
  plugin dispatch path, preventing JVM termination when called from
  tests via JBang.execute() or JBang.parseCommand()
- Add verbose logging in BaseTest.checkedRun() when falling back from
  parseCommand to JBang.execute() on CommandLineParserException, to
  aid debugging when the fallback masks test misconfigurations
- Move realOut PrintStream from BaseCommand to Run where it is the
  only consumer, avoiding ~18 unnecessary PrintStream allocations per
  parseCommand call

Subject: [PATCH 08/23] docs: regenerate CLI docs with alias and negatable
 option support

Update genadoc.java to render option aliases (e.g. --ea for
--enableassertions, --class-path for --cp) and negatable options
(e.g. --[no-]cds, --[no-]integrations) matching the picocli doc
format.

Regenerate all CLI reference pages to reflect:
- Option aliases now visible in documentation
- Negatable options shown with --[no-] prefix
- AI option descriptions synced with AIOptions.java source
- Subcommand ordering updated from aesh parser traversal

Subject: [PATCH 09/23] fix: address review feedback from PR #2453

- Rename Cache.CacheClear fields to match option names (e.g. urls->url,
  jars->jar, groovys->groovyc) for consistency as suggested by Max
- Add comment explaining FALLBACK_OPTIONS in JBangDefaultValueProvider
  to clarify why debug and jfr are excluded from default value lookup
- Move null-element filtering inside the args!=null guard in
  Main.handleDefaultRun() to avoid unnecessary work on null input

Subject: [PATCH 10/23] fix: improve error exit codes and doc argument labels

- Catch IllegalArgumentException in BaseCommand.execute() and return
  EXIT_INVALID_INPUT (2) instead of EXIT_INTERNAL_ERROR (4) for
  validation errors thrown from doCall() (e.g. invalid JDK path)
- Update genadoc.java to use paramLabel from @Argument/@Arguments
  annotations, rendering semantic names like scriptOrFile, userParams,
  catalogName instead of generic 'arg' placeholders
- Regenerate all CLI docs with improved argument labels

Subject: [PATCH 11/23] docs: render --help as boolean flag in generated docs

Update genadoc.java to skip the =_<value>_ suffix for boolean-typed
options and the auto-generated --help option, so docs show '-h, --help'
instead of '-h, --help=_<help>_'.

Addresses aesh#444 (--help should be a boolean flag). The aesh-side
fix changes doGenerateHelp() to use OptionType.BOOLEAN, and this
genadoc change ensures the doc generator also handles it correctly
regardless of the aesh jar version.

Subject: [PATCH 12/23] refactor: use registry-level DefaultValueProvider and
 fallbackValue

Leverage aesh#445 to set DefaultValueProvider at the runtime/builder
level instead of repeating it on every @CommandDefinition. The provider
is now set once on AeshRuntimeRunner (Main.main, JBang.execute) and
AeshCommandRuntimeBuilder (JBang.parseCommand), removing the

Subject: [PATCH 13/23] refactor: replace StrictOptionParser with fallbackValue
 (aesh#447)

With the aesh#447 fix for fallbackValue token consumption, replace
all remaining StrictOptionParser usages with fallbackValue="":
- --jfr in RunMixin
- --code in Run
- --open in Edit

Delete StrictOptionParser.java entirely. Move fullPrefix() helper
into DebugOptionParser which is the only remaining custom parser
(needed for --debug's peek-ahead pattern matching).

Subject: [PATCH 14/23] refactor: use aesh terminal-api ANSI constants in
 ConsoleOutput

Replace hand-rolled ANSI escape codes with constants from
org.aesh.terminal.utils.ANSI (YELLOW_TEXT, CYAN_TEXT, MAGENTA_TEXT,
BOLD, RESET) which is already on the classpath via terminal-api.

ANSI.FAINT is not yet available in terminal-api 3.7, so faint()
uses ANSI.START + "2m" until aesh-readline 3.8 is released.

Subject: [PATCH 17/23] Add tab-completion for scriptOrFile argument (files +
 aliases)

Introduce ScriptRefCompleter that provides shell completion candidates
for the scriptOrFile positional argument used by run, build, edit,
alias add, and info commands.

Phase 1 completes:
- Local files filtered to JBang-supported extensions (.java, .jsh, .kt,
  .groovy, .md) plus directories (with trailing slash)
- Alias names from the merged catalog (nearest + imported + implicit)

Hidden files are excluded. Completion is case-insensitive for file names
and supports subdirectory navigation (e.g. src/A<TAB>).

Works with aesh's dynamic completion (--aesh-complete) used by the
generated bash/zsh/fish completion scripts.

Subject: [PATCH 18/23] Add catalog alias browsing to ScriptRefCompleter

Typing @<TAB> lists all available catalog names. Typing @catalogName
lists aliases in that catalog as alias@catalogName candidates, so
selecting one replaces the @catalogName token with the fully-qualified
reference (e.g. h2@jbanghub/h2).

Also handles sub-catalog navigation: @jbanghub shows @jbanghub/h2,
@jbanghub/allure, etc. and drilling into @jbanghub/h2 shows
h2@jbanghub/h2.

Subject: [PATCH 19/23] Fix fish completion script dropping current token

The aesh-generated fish completion script uses 'commandline -cop'
which returns only completed tokens, excluding the token currently
being typed at the cursor. This means partial-word completion never
works (e.g. 'jbang build hel<TAB>' produces no results).

Apply a post-generation fix that replaces the function body to use
'commandline -ct' for the current token, which works correctly in
all cases.

Upstream issue: https://github.com/aeshell/aesh/issues/436

Subject: [PATCH 20/23] Add Maven GAV completion from local repository

Complete groupId, artifactId, and version from the local Maven
repository (~/.m2/repository or configured location).

- Typing a dotted prefix with 2+ dots triggers GAV mode (e.g. com.google.)
- Typing a colon always triggers GAV mode
- GroupId completion shows both deeper groups (trailing dot) and
  available artifacts (trailing colon) when both exist
- ArtifactId completion lists artifacts within the groupId
- Version completion lists locally cached versions

The heuristic distinguishes GAV from filenames: single-dot names like
hello.java stay in file mode, while com.google.guava switches to GAV.

Directory structure is introspected to distinguish groupId paths from
artifactId directories (which contain version subdirs with .pom files).

Subject: [PATCH 21/23] Add GitHub URL navigation completion
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Complete files and directories when typing GitHub blob/tree URLs by
calling the GitHub Contents API.

Supports URLs like:
  https://github.com/owner/repo/blob/branch/<TAB>
  https://github.com/owner/repo/blob/branch/src/main/<TAB>
  https://github.com/owner/repo/blob/branch/hel<TAB>

Features:
- Lists directories (with trailing /) and files filtered to JBang
  extensions (.java, .jsh, .kt, .groovy, .md)
- In-memory LRU cache with 5-minute TTL (up to 50 entries)
- Uses GITHUB_TOKEN or GH_TOKEN env var for auth if available
- 2s connect timeout + 3s read timeout — fails silently on error
- Caches empty results on API errors to avoid repeated hammering
