Research direction

The payload supplies Nexus Shell's official site, release history, and a Homebrew Cask file (Casks/nexus-shell.rb) confirming arch: arm64. Start by finding the app-list data source that feeds doesitarm and compare an existing entry's schema with the request fields: name, status, category, and links. Add an entry with v1.6.9, Developer Tools, native Apple Silicon support, and the supplied URLs; done means the new listing builds and appears without validation errors.

Verification screenshots

The public website and Homebrew Cask provide machine-readable architecture requirements. I can provide an Activity Monitor or Silicon Info screenshot if the maintainers would prefer one as well.

Additional Context

Nexus Shell is a native macOS SSH client with terminals, SFTP, SSH key management, Docker tools, and read-only server monitoring. The stable DMG is signed and notarized.
