Output

🔧 Fixed /session Nil Pointer Panic

Problem

Running /session caused a panic because the session command's manager was nil (no manager configured at startup).

Solution

Added nil checks to all slash commands' subcommand handlers. When a manager/store is not configured, commands now return a friendly message instead of panicking:

gvshell> /session
Session management not available (no manager configured).
This command will be functional when connected to a hub.

Files Changed

internal/commands/session/session.go+45 lines (5 subcommands)
internal/commands/context/context.go+45 lines (5 subcommands)
internal/commands/history/history.go+54 lines (6 subcommands)
internal/commands/models/models.go+27 lines (3 subcommands)

Verification

  • All 24 packages pass tests
  • Binary built successfully (15.6 MB)
  • /session, /context, /history, /models now gracefully handle missing managers
