# Nexus Shell task review worksheet

Prepared by the Nexus Shell team, 2026-10-13. This blank worksheet does not run tests or assert results. Use the same task and account permissions when comparing clients.

## Context to record yourself

- Date tested: not recorded
- Edition installed: not recorded (website/Homebrew or Mac App Store)
- App version installed: not recorded
- macOS version and Mac architecture: not recorded
- Access: not recorded (Free, eligible trial, or Pro; never include credentials)
- Task chosen: not recorded

macOS 14.2+ and Apple Silicon are required. Basic SSH is free for personal non-commercial use; SFTP, Docker and monitoring require Pro or an eligible trial. Website Pro is lifetime-only and uses a Nexus Shell account; App Store Pro offers lifetime or an auto-renewing annual subscription through Apple. Purchases and data are separate, with no automatic connection migration. Agent Bridge is absent from the App Store edition. Check channel, region, currency and current price when publishing; no new alignment price or date is announced here.

## Pick one task, then record the observed result

Use a non-critical server you control. Verify its identity through a trusted channel and use an account with the necessary permissions. Each result starts as NOT TESTED. Record met, not met or not tested independently; a successful connection does not establish every capability.

### Small file round trip

- Mac folder and permitted remote folder identified: NOT TESTED
- Original synthetic test files uploaded and downloaded to a different empty Mac folder: NOT TESTED
- Returned files checked against the original hashes: NOT TESTED

Use the existing [free synthetic file pack and checksum procedure](https://github.com/viewer12/Nexus-Shell-Releases/blob/main/docs/sftp-transfer-check.md). Copy success does not establish remote edit permissions or application behavior. External editing on website/Homebrew builds uses remote shell commands and same-directory temporary files; SFTP-only accounts may not support that workflow. Do not assume owner or ACL preservation.

### Existing Docker service inspection

- Correct SSH host and Docker access confirmed: NOT TESTED
- State of one existing container inspected: NOT TESTED
- Bounded logs inspected without restart, deletion or pruning: NOT TESTED

Follow the [remote Docker workflow](https://nexusshell.app/en/guides/troubleshoot-remote-docker-from-mac/). Docker Desktop on the Mac is not required for this remote workflow. SSH login does not grant Docker access; Docker privileges can be powerful. Do not change server access merely to complete this worksheet. Redact identifying or sensitive log content before sharing notes.

### Website/Homebrew Agent Bridge check

- Client approved in the app: NOT TESTED
- Bounded task observed in a visible terminal: NOT TESTED
- Result checked and agent access revoked when finished: NOT TESTED

Follow the [Bridge workflow](https://nexusshell.app/en/guides/claude-code-codex-ssh-without-sharing-keys/). This task does not apply to the App Store edition. Saved passwords/private keys are not returned by Bridge, but host information and command output reach the agent. Do not treat this as a security audit or paste credentials into notes.

## Before publishing

- Keep vendor-described facts separate from your observed results. Leave untested capabilities marked untested.
- The supplied images show v1.7.6 (66), not new v1.7.11 or App Store captures. Credit them to Nexus Shell; do not label them your independent tests.
- Website/Homebrew v1.7.11 and China App Store public metadata v1.7.6 were checked on 2026-10-13; confirm the installed version, rather than assuming channels match.
- No terminal split panes, automatic WinSCP session importer or remote/remote dual-pane copying is promised.
- Keep existing client settings until the workflow you depend on is verified. No review license, affiliate offer or positive-review requirement is created here.
- Overall verdict and reasons: NOT RECORDED
