This PR introduces namespace isolation for the
exec(andcos) command utility.Currently, the
execcommand allows a user to execute arbitrary ObjectScript that can modify the process state. If a user executes a namespace switch (e.g.,exec zn "%SYS"), the shell process remains in that new namespace context after the command completes. If that target namespace does not have the%IPMpackage mapped, the shell immediately crashes when it attempts to render the next prompt or error message because it can no longer find its own configuration classes.Related Issues
Testing Conducted
exec zn "%SYS"from theUSERnamespace.USERnamespace. The prompt rendered correctly.exec set x = 1/0(divide by zero) to trigger an error.execcommands (likeexec write 123) still function normally with no overhead.
