About the NSH at least we could use Web Serial API:

I used Web Serial and Web Bluetooth few years ago to configure a
vehicle tracker powered by NuttX:

At that time the Web Bluetooth wasn't supported natively by the web
browsers, now I think they have better support.

About the Debug we need to find a way, maybe using Web USB to create a
communication with ST-LinkV2 and/or J-Link:
