Workspace feature unification turns on terminal in CI, so the command-not-found check now expects nano only without terminal and asserts it resolves with terminal. Run nano unit tests in the terminal CI slice.

What changed
nanobuiltin in terminal sessions: a subset GNU-nano-style editor with typing, cursor keys,^Owrite out,^Xexit (asks to save when modified),^K/^Ucut and paste a line,^Wsearch,^Ghelp and^Ccursor position.EDITOR=nanoworks for the$EDITORflows (git commitwithout-m).Why
Agents and the scripts they run often default to
nano. Without it,EDITOR=nano git commitfailed and agents had to know to switch to vi.Before / After
Before:
nano notes.txt→nano: command not found(127).After:
nano notes.txt→ editor with title bar and shortcut bar; type,^OEnter saves,^Xreturns to the prompt;cat notes.txtshows the edit.EDITOR=nano git commit→ type the message,^X,y→ commit created.Risk
terminalfeature only (off by default); new builtin, no change to existing commands.Checklist
