https://github.com/oilshell/oil/blob/master/doc/ref/chap-plugin.md#renderprompt i found this, what i didn't quite understand was that i need to define the renderprompt myself and then i can use it. i'll try that out thanks
< io->promptVal('$') ; return ('hi') }
hi
still not 100% clear what it means to call io->promptVal, or what $ vs # does in promptVal. functions say they are pure but then i saw somewhere they are the same as proc?

hi
closing this because answered my own question. still confused by the arg to prompval and i guess functions can call external things?
can ysh support any custom user-provided prompts? i guess a script that runs on each new execution that could possibly include an external binary? eventually would want to be able to make starship work with ysh but first just wondering if i wanted my prompt to run a small script or just be whatever value i want is that possible?
i realized with the starship bug post you mentioned that starship probably works with osh? i can't quite get it to work but i'll play with it a bit. i'm specifically curious about improving the prompt for use with ysh. i'm looking to daily drive ysh.
i did see #1809 but that didn't seem like something one could use directly or customize, or maybe it is? it sounded like something straightforward to implement into the shell
