Interactive Enhancements to PowerShell
summary
PowerShell adds concrete interactive features: PSReadLine exposes predictive intellisense with history and plug‑in predictors (including a local ML predictor) and enforces a strict 20 ms timeout so only local models are practical. The engine gains feedback providers that trigger on success/error and a command‑not‑found suggestion that offers winget/snap installs and ties into predictions. A published PS adapters module suggests and runs adapters or jc to convert native command text into PowerShell objects; experimental features aim for inclusion in PowerShell 7.5.
