Conversation
Nexus Shell is not in homebrew/cask (vendor distributes via their own viewer12/tap), so it uses the custom-tap pattern: cask DSL in custom-tap/Casks, generated api JSON, and an input manifest with cask_path. Identity verified against the real v1.6.9 DMG: CFBundleIdentifier sameral.Nexus-Shell, CFBundleShortVersionString 1.6.9 (matches cask version), sha256 matches vendor manifest. Icon generated from the app bundle.

Adds Nexus Shell (native macOS SSH client, https://nexusshell.app/) as a macOS Fleet-maintained app.
Custom-tap pattern
Nexus Shell is not in
homebrew/cask— the vendor distributes through their own tap (viewer12/tap). This PR follows the established custom-tap pattern (same as xcreds, zoom-rooms, druva-insync):ee/maintained-apps/inputs/homebrew/custom-tap/Casks/nexus-shell.rb— cask DSL (mirrors the vendor's tap cask)ee/maintained-apps/inputs/homebrew/custom-tap/api/nexus-shell.json— generated withregenerate.shon macOSee/maintained-apps/inputs/homebrew/nexus-shell.json— input manifest pointing at the local cask JSON viacask_pathee/maintained-apps/outputs/nexus-shell/darwin.json+apps.jsonentry — generated withgo run cmd/maintained-apps/main.go --slug="nexus-shell/darwin"tools/software/icons/generate-icons.shIdentity verification (against the real installer, not catalog metadata)
