Release Notes

v0.8.14: Parse-time eval — `eval ARG` is now resolved by PsEmitter at transpile time: arg word parts are reconstructed into the bash source eval would see, which is re-parsed and emitted inline. Static bodies (literals, quoted literals, variable references) fold into normal pwsh with no runtime eval cmdlet. Dynamic bodies — `eval "$(cmd)"`, `eval `cmd``, `eval $((expr))`, `eval <(cmd)` — are rejected at transpile time with a clear message telling the user to inline the command's output, instead of the prior behavior where rc sourcing hung past its timeout on nested ps-bash subprocess spawns. Also: route -c through InteractiveShell.ExpandAliases before transpile for REPL parity, with regression tests for `-c "... --<word> ..."` where `<word>` starts with a recognized short-flag letter. PSBASH_TEST_TIMEOUT wall-clock cap for test.sh. Shell test harness always closes child stdin for clean EOF. install-local.ps1 applies the NTFS rename-to-.old trick to every locked file, not just ps-bash.exe, so a live shell holding Core.dll no longer blocks redeploy. v0.8.13: Bash CLI compatibility for Claude Code wrappers (bundled -lc, -c -l cmd interleaving). Fix three transpiler bugs in Claude prelude (cmd || true, >|, < /dev/null). Add --unix-paths flag and PSBASH_UNIX_PATHS env var for opt-in MSYS drive-path translation. Hide pwsh worker console window when ps-bash spawned by GUI/Node parent. Interactive shell startup loading indicator and console-input restore after foreground children. v0.8.12: Replace all silent catch blocks with stderr logging. Fix sequence suggestion test. v0.8.10: Fix flaky background-job Pester tests and child-process module loading for CI stability. v0.8.9: Add install alias to module manifest. v0.8.8: Fix Ctrl+C in shell mode, ANSI prompt after git pull, install command, --noprofile flag, PATH command resolution, cursor redraw, history deduplication. v0.8.7: Direct execution for interactive external commands (claude, copilot, etc.). v0.8.6: Skip ps -u USER on non-Windows CI. v0.8.5: Skip ps -u USER on Linux CI. v0.8.4: Add missing Set-Alias for balias. v0.8.3: Remove PsBuiltinAliases, combined flag parsing, ls -F/-A/--color, interactive shell, rm nul guard.
