Created the PR for the first CLI hardening slice and attached the trace to it.

- PR: `https://github.com/market-dot-dev/traces/pull/588`
- Trace: `https://traces.com/s/jn78srhfgeqd1mmdsxcpb2vd4x83j58y`
- I posted the trace link on the PR as a comment and included the implementation summary/testing in the PR body
- Branch: `feat/cli-agent-hardening`
- Commit: `f26078ee` (`fix: fail fast on invalid CLI option parsing`)

I also verified the slice with:
- `bun test src/commands/share-options.test.ts src/commands/list-options.test.ts src/commands/setup-options.test.ts src/commands/remove-skills-options.test.ts src/commands/transfer-options.test.ts`
- `bun test src/commands/share.test.ts src/commands/list.test.ts src/commands/setup.test.ts src/commands/remove-skills.test.ts`
- `bunx tsc --noEmit`

If you want, I can start the next slice in this branch: per-command `--help` and examples.

<content>1: # CLI Architecture
2: 
3: The Traces CLI follows a strict flow: **TUI -> Controller -> Model -> Adapters**.
4:

56: 
57: Debug:
58:   --debug PATH                Write debug log to PATH (works with any command)
59: ```
60: 
61: ### Per-directory namespace (`.tracesrc`)
62: 
63: Place a `.tracesrc` file in a project directory to automatically switch namespace when running CLI commands from that directory. The CLI walks up from the working directory to find the nearest one.
64: 
65: ```
66: namespace = @acme
67: ```
68: 
69: When the CLI starts, if the `.tracesrc` namespace differs from the active one, it switches automatically. Unknown or inaccessible namespaces are silently ignored, so this file is safe to commit to shared repos.
70: 
71: To create or remove the file:
72: 
73: ```bash
74: traces namespace pin @acme    # writes .tracesrc in current directory
75: traces namespace pin           # pins the currently active namespace
76: traces namespace unpin         # removes .tracesrc from current directory
77: ```
78: 
79: `unpin` only removes `.tracesrc` from the current directory, not from parent directories.
80: 
81: ### Skills setup and removal
82: 
83: Use these commands to manage Traces skills integration:
84: 
85: ```bash
86: # Install skills in the current project
87: traces setup
88: 
89: # Equivalent explicit target
90: traces setup skills
91: 
92: # Install for specific agents only
93: traces setup skills --agent codex,cursor
94: 
95: # Remove skills from the current project
96: traces remove skills
97: 
98: # Remove globally from your home directory
99: traces remove skills --global
100: ```
101: 
102: Notes:
103: - `traces setup` currently maps to `traces setup skills`.
104: - `traces setup git` and `traces remove git` are reserved but not yet available.
105: 
106: ### Troubleshooting
107: 
108: **Database corruption**: If the TUI shows errors or traces don't load correctly, run:
109: ```bash
110: traces reset
111: ```
112: This deletes the local SQLite database and forces a full resync on next launch.
113: 
114: **Diagnose issues**: Run the doctor command to check installation, database, network, and auth:
115: ```bash
116: traces doctor
117: ```
118: 
119: **Check current status**: View database size, trace count, and auth status:
120: ```bash
121: traces status
122: ```
123: 
124: **Debug logging**: Pass `--debug <path>` to write a timestamped log of internal events (keypresses, state changes, errors). The flag can appear anywhere in the command and works with all subcommands:
125: ```bash
126: traces --debug /tmp/traces-debug.log
127: traces share --trace-id abc123 --debug /tmp/share-debug.log
128: ```
129: 
130: ## Supported Agents
131: 
132: | Agent ID | Adapter | Storage Format | Storage Location |
133: |----------|---------|---------------|-----------------|
134: | `claude-code` | `ClaudeCodeAdapter` | JSONL | `~/.claude/` |
135: | `cursor` | `CursorAdapter` | SQLite + legacy JSON | `~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/` |
136: | `opencode` | `OpenCodeAdapter` | SQLite + legacy JSON | `~/.local/share/opencode/` |
137: | `codex` | `CodexAdapter` | JSONL + JSON | `~/.codex/` |
138: | `gemini-cli` | `GeminiCliAdapter` | JSON | `~/.gemini/tmp/` |

176: ```
177: 
178: ## Roles and boundaries
179: 
180: **TUI (View)**
181: - Only calls methods on `TraceController`.
182: - Never reads adapters directly.
183: - Never touches EventStore for detail view data.
184: 
185: **TraceController (Controller)**
186: - Single entry point for UI actions.
187: - Merges adapter traces with EventStore metadata.
188: - Creates `Trace` models for content reads.
189: - Owns subscription lifecycle for live updates.
190: 
191: **Trace (Model)**
192: - Wraps adapter + store for a single trace.
193: - `getContent()` delegates to adapter.
194: - Stores metadata changes in EventStore when needed.
195: 
196: **Adapters (Data source)**
197: - Parse agent storage into `TraceContent` + `TraceEvent`.
198: - Provide live updates via `subscribe()`.
199: - No persistence responsibilities.
200: 
201: **EventStore (Persistence)**
202: - Stores trace metadata + shared state.
203: - Acts as a sync cache for shared traces only.
204: - Not used for detail view content.
205: 
206: **TraceIndexer (Discovery)**
207: - Background service for incremental trace discovery.
208: - Uses cursor-based scanning to avoid redundant work.
209: - Stores index state in the `indexes` SQLite table per adapter.
210: - Supports history-first discovery (scan from tail of JSONL files).
211: 
212: **Services**
213: - API client, clipboard, updates, request history.
214: - Called by the controller or TUI when needed.
215: 
216: ## Rules of access
217: 
218: - **TUI never calls adapters directly.**
219: - **Only TraceController may access adapters.**
220: - EventStore is for **metadata + sync cache**, not UI detail rendering.
221: 
222: ## Empty Session Guards
223: 
224: Sessions can end up with 0 events for legitimate reasons (e.g. JSONL files containing only metadata entries like `summary` or `file-history-snapshot`). To prevent these from being shared as empty traces, guards exist at three layers:
225: 
226: | Layer | File | Behavior |
227: |-------|------|----------|
228: | **TUI** | `src/tui/hooks/useAppState.ts` | Shows user-friendly error before share attempt; retries hydration up to 3 times in case the adapter hasn't finished parsing |
229: | **Controller** | `src/core/trace-controller.ts` | `performShare` rejects with a structured error if content has 0 events after adapter returns |
230: | **API client** | `src/services/api.ts` | `backfillTrace` bails early with a warning if the transformed message list is empty, preventing a server round-trip |
231: 
232: These guards are defense-in-depth -- any single layer is sufficient to prevent an empty trace from reaching the server. Adapters do **not** need to implement their own empty-session guard; they should parse honestly and populate the `ParseDiagnostics` object passed by `BaseAdapter.getTraceContent()` to report what was skipped or unrecognized. Diagnostics are emitted to Sentry structured logs (`cli.adapter.empty_parse`, `cli.adapter.unhandled_types`).
233: 
234: See `docs/adding-agents.md` "Parse Diagnostics" section for adapter-level guidance.
235: 
236: ## Remote Config
237: 
238: The CLI fetches remote configuration from `${TRACES_URL}/config.json` on startup. This allows server-side overrides without CLI updates:
239: 
240: | Key | Default | Description |
241: |-----|---------|-------------|
242: | `sessionListLimit` | 200 | Max traces shown in TUI |
243: | `largeSessionWarningThreshold` | 10000 | Warn before sharing large traces |
244: | `readOnlyMode` | false | Disable all write operations |
245: | `maxEventBytes` | 524288 | Max bytes per single event upload |
246: | `maxBatchBytes` | 4194304 | Max bytes per batch upload |
247: | `maxBatchItems` | 50 | Max messages per batch |
248: 
249: ## Credentials storage
250: 
251: The CLI stores credentials in the OS config directory (XDG on Linux, Application Support on macOS, AppData on Windows).
252: Credential files are **per server URL** and saved as `credentials-<hash>.json` alongside `device.json`.
253: 
254: ## Events vs Messages
255: 
256: **CLI uses events internally, API uses messages+parts.**
257: 
258: ```
259: CLI (events)  ->  transform()  ->  API (messages+parts)
260:                       ^

<content>1: # Project: CLI Agent Hardening
2: 
3: Make the CLI more reliable for agents and scripts without breaking existing clients.
4: 
5: ## Goals
6: 
7: - Fail fast on invalid invocations instead of silently ignoring mistakes.
8: - Make every automation-facing command self-discoverable via local `--help` output with examples.
9: - Standardize machine-readable output and exit-code behavior across the CLI.
10: - Make destructive or state-changing commands safer with explicit non-interactive and preview paths.
11: - Add stdin support and naming aliases in a compatibility-safe, additive way.
12: 
13: ## Non-Goals
14: 
15: - No API or frontend changes.
16: - No TUI redesign.
17: - No removal or renaming of existing flags.
18: - No automatic stdin reading just because input is piped.
19: - No breaking changes to existing JSON success/error payloads.
20: 
21: ## Why This Project Exists
22: 
23: The CLI already has good agent-friendly foundations in `share`, `list`, `setup`, and `remove skills`, but it still has a few sharp edges:
24: 
25: - Unknown flags are silently ignored in several parsers.
26: - Help is uneven across commands and usually lacks concrete examples.
27: - JSON output exists for some commands but not for the full automation surface.
28: - Destructive commands do not consistently support `--dry-run` or non-interactive bypasses.
29: - Similar concepts use different names across commands (`--cwd` vs `--dir`, `--key` vs likely aliases).
30: - Commands do not yet support explicit stdin-driven composition.
31: 
32: ## Compatibility Constraints
33: 
34: - Existing commands and flags must keep working.
35: - Existing JSON envelopes stay stable; only additive fields are allowed.
36: - New aliases must map to the current canonical internal fields.
37: - Stdin support must be opt-in (`-` sentinel or explicit flag), not implicit.
38: - Human-readable deprecation guidance must never appear in `--json` mode.
39: - Existing special exit codes should be preserved where already shipped unless we intentionally migrate them with coverage and release notes.
40: 
41: ## Design Principles
42: 
43: - **Strict parsing:** unknown flags, missing values, and extra positional args fail immediately with actionable guidance.
44: - **Additive compatibility:** aliases and stdin support extend the interface; they do not replace existing usage.
45: - **Local discoverability:** agents should be able to learn the CLI by running `traces <command> --help`.
46: - **Stable machine output:** JSON payloads go to stdout on success and stderr on failure with a consistent envelope.
47: - **Safe mutation:** mutating commands should support preview and non-interactive execution.
48: - **Predictable naming:** the same concept should use the same name everywhere, with aliases where history already differs.
49: 
50: ## Target Surface
51: 
52: ### Strict Parsing
53: 
54: - Introduce a shared parser layer for CLI commands instead of hand-written permissive loops.
55: - Fail on:
56:   - unknown options
57:   - missing option values
58:   - invalid enum values
59:   - unexpected extra positional args
60: - Include suggestions where possible (`--jsno` -> `--json`).
61: - Standardize invalid-usage exits to code `2` for newly migrated commands.
62: 
63: ### Help and Examples
64: 
65: - Add `--help` support to every non-trivial command and subcommand.
66: - Each help page should include:
67:   - what the command does
68:   - required/optional arguments
69:   - 2-4 concrete examples
70:   - notes for automation when relevant (`--json`, `--yes`, `--dry-run`, stdin)
71: 
72: ### Structured Output
73: 
74: - Expand `--json` coverage to the full automation surface:
75:   - `status`
76:   - `doctor`
77:   - `whoami`
78:   - `namespace` subcommands
79:   - `transfer`
80:   - `setup git`
81:   - `remove git`
82:   - `uninstall`
83: - Keep the existing `ok/data/error` envelope shape.
84: - Keep human-mode formatting separate from JSON mode.
85: 
86: ### Safe Mutation
87: 
88: - Add `--dry-run` to commands that remove files, mutate config, or change server-side state.
89: - Standardize confirmation bypasses:
90:   - `--yes` for confirmation-driven flows
91:   - `--force` where the command already uses force semantics
92: - Add explicit non-interactive behavior so commands error with guidance instead of hanging on prompts.
93: 
94: ### Additive stdin and Aliases
95: 
96: - Add opt-in stdin support using one of these patterns:
97:   - `--trace-id -`
98:   - `--from-stdin`
99:   - `--input json`
100: - Keep stdin support explicit per command.
101: - Add compatibility-safe aliases:
102:   - `--api-key` and `--token` -> `--key`
103:   - `share --dir` -> `--cwd`
104:   - `list --cwd` -> `--dir`
105: - Show one canonical name in help while continuing to accept the old one.
106: 
107: ## Phase Plan
108: 
109: ### Phase 0: Baseline Contracts and Safety Rails
110: 
111: - Add characterization tests for existing behavior we must preserve.
112: - Snapshot current JSON payloads for `share`, `list`, `setup`, and `remove skills`.
113: - Document the initial exit-code contract before broadening it.
114: - Capture compatibility constraints in code comments/tests so follow-up phases do not drift.
115: 
116: ### Phase 1: Shared Strict Parser Foundation
117: 
118: - Introduce a small shared parser utility for commands with:
119:   - known option definitions
120:   - aliases
121:   - value requirements
122:   - positional argument rules
123:   - suggestion support
124: - Migrate the most automation-sensitive commands first:
125:   - `share`
126:   - `list`
127:   - `setup`
128:   - `remove skills`
129:   - `transfer`
130: - Replace silent-ignore parser tests with fail-fast tests.
131: 
132: ### Phase 2: Per-Command Help and Examples
133: 
134: - Add `--help` to all non-trivial commands and subcommands.
135: - Cover at least:
136:   - `share`
137:   - `list`
138:   - `status`
139:   - `doctor`
140:   - `whoami`
141:   - `namespace list|use|pin|unpin`
142:   - `transfer`
143:   - `reset`
144:   - `setup skills|git`
145:   - `remove skills|git`
146:   - `hook post-commit|prepare-commit-msg`
147:   - `uninstall`
148: - Use examples that reflect real agent workflows, especially `--json` and explicit selectors.
149: 
150: ### Phase 3: Structured Output and Exit-Code Unification
151: 
152: - Add `--json` to the remaining automation-facing commands.
153: - Ensure success JSON goes to stdout and error JSON goes to stderr.
154: - Remove ANSI from JSON mode and from non-TTY human output where it interferes with automation.
155: - Normalize invalid-usage exits to `2` for migrated commands.
156: - Preserve already-shipped special-case exit codes until we intentionally migrate them.
157: 
158: ### Phase 4: Mutating Command Hardening
159: 
160: - Add `--dry-run` to:
161:   - `reset`
162:   - `remove skills`
163:   - `setup git`
164:   - `remove git`
165:   - `transfer`
166:   - `uninstall`
167: - Keep default interactive confirmations where they already exist.
168: - Add explicit non-interactive failure paths for commands that would otherwise prompt.
169: - Make dry-run output useful for both human mode and JSON mode.
170: 
171: ### Phase 5: Additive Stdin and Alias Rollout
172: 
173: - Add explicit stdin ingestion for the small set of commands where composition matters most:
174:   - `share`
175:   - `transfer`
176:   - optional follow-up for `namespace use` if needed
177: - Add new aliases without removing existing names.
178: - Keep docs and help canonical while marking aliases as accepted alternatives.
179: - Add tests proving that legacy flags and new aliases both resolve to the same internal fields.
180: 
181: ### Phase 6: Polish and Follow-Through
182: 
183: - Update `docs/cli.md` with the new help, JSON, stdin, alias, and dry-run behavior.
184: - Add release notes describing the new additive interfaces.
185: - Consider telemetry for invalid-argument classes so future parser work is driven by real usage.
186: 
187: ## Command Worklist
188: 
189: | Command | Strict parse | `--help` | `--json` | `--dry-run` | stdin/aliases |
190: |---|---|---|---|---|---|
191: | `share` | Yes | Yes | already exists | optional for preview-only listing, not required | Yes |
192: | `list` | Yes | Yes | already exists | n/a | alias only |
193: | `status` | Yes | Yes | add | n/a | maybe `--api-key` alias only |
194: | `doctor` | Yes | Yes | add | n/a | maybe `--api-key` alias only |
195: | `whoami` | Yes | Yes | add | n/a | maybe `--api-key` alias only |
196: | `namespace` | Yes | Yes | add | n/a | maybe aliases only |
197: | `transfer` | Yes | Yes | add | add | Yes |
198: | `reset` | Yes | Yes | add if useful | add | no |
199: | `setup skills` | mostly already there | improve | already exists | add where file writes happen | aliases only |
200: | `setup git` | Yes | Yes | add | add | no |
201: | `remove skills` | Yes | Yes | already exists | add | no |
202: | `remove git` | Yes | Yes | add | add | no |
203: | `uninstall` | Yes | Yes | add | add | no |
204: 
205: ## Testing Plan
206: 
207: - **Parser tests:** unknown flags, missing values, invalid enums, extra args, alias resolution, suggestion text.
208: - **Backcompat tests:** current flags continue to work; current JSON payloads remain unchanged except for additive fields.
209: - **Help tests:** every migrated command supports `--help` and includes at least one example.
210: - **JSON tests:** stdout/stderr routing stays correct and payloads remain machine-readable.
211: - **Dry-run tests:** no file system or network side effects occur when `--dry-run` is set.
212: - **Non-interactive tests:** commands fail with actionable guidance instead of waiting on prompts.
213: - **Stdin tests:** only explicit stdin modes consume input; plain piped stdin does not change command behavior.
214: 
215: ## Rollout Order
216: 
217: 1. Phase 0 and Phase 1 first, because silent argument ignoring is the biggest correctness risk.
218: 2. Phase 2 next, so the stricter parser has clear local guidance to point users and agents toward.
219: 3. Phase 3 after that, so the full automation surface becomes scriptable.
220: 4. Phase 4 once parser and JSON scaffolding are in place.
221: 5. Phase 5 last, because stdin and alias work must stay strictly additive and well-tested.
222: 
223: ## Success Criteria
224: 
225: - No automation-facing command silently ignores invalid flags.
226: - An agent can learn the CLI from `--help` output alone.
227: - The full automation surface offers predictable JSON output.
228: - Destructive commands can be previewed safely.
229: - Existing clients keep working unchanged while new aliases and stdin paths become available.

60: 
61: Debug:
62:   --debug PATH                Write debug log to PATH (works with any command)
63: ```
64: 
65: ### Per-directory namespace (`.tracesrc`)
66: 
67: Place a `.tracesrc` file in a project directory to automatically switch namespace when running CLI commands from that directory. The CLI walks up from the working directory to find the nearest one.
68: 
69: ```
70: namespace = @acme
71: ```
72: 
73: When the CLI starts, if the `.tracesrc` namespace differs from the active one, it switches automatically. Unknown or inaccessible namespaces are silently ignored, so this file is safe to commit to shared repos.
74: 
75: To create or remove the file:
76: 
77: ```bash
78: traces namespace pin @acme    # writes .tracesrc in current directory
79: traces namespace pin           # pins the currently active namespace
80: traces namespace unpin         # removes .tracesrc from current directory
81: ```
82: 
83: `unpin` only removes `.tracesrc` from the current directory, not from parent directories.
84: 
85: ### Authentication
86: 
87: Authenticated commands support three auth paths:
88: 
89: 1. stored credentials from `traces login`
90: 2. an explicit bearer token via `--key TOKEN`
91: 3. a default bearer token via `TRACES_API_KEY`
92: 
93: `--key` is global, so it works with all API-backed commands, not just `share`.
94: 
95: Examples:
96: 
97: ```bash
98: traces --key <trk_...> namespace list
99: traces --key <trk_...> whoami
100: TRACES_API_KEY=[REDACTED] traces status
101: TRACES_API_KEY=[REDACTED] traces share --cwd "$PWD" --agent codex --json
102: ```
103: 
104: Notes:
105: 
106: - API keys are namespace-scoped.
107: - `namespace use` cannot switch an API key into another namespace.
108: - Use a key issued for the target namespace, or use `traces login` if you need interactive namespace switching.
109: 
110: ### Argument Validation and Automation
111: 
112: The CLI now fails fast on invalid invocations for the first automation-facing slice:
113: 
114: - `traces share`
115: - `traces list`
116: - `traces setup`
117: - `traces remove skills`
118: - `traces transfer`
119: 
120: For these commands, the parser rejects:
121: 
122: - unknown flags
123: - missing option values
124: - unexpected extra positional arguments
125: 
126: Invalid usage exits with code `2`.
127: 
128: When `--json` is supported on the command (`share`, `list`, `setup`, `remove skills`), parse failures emit a machine-readable error envelope to stderr:
129: 
130: ```json
131: {"ok":false,"error":{"code":"INVALID_ARGUMENTS","message":"Unknown option `--jsno`. Did you mean `--json`?\nUsage: traces share [--trace-id ID | --source-path PATH | --cwd DIR] [--agent ID] [--visibility MODE] [--key TOKEN] [--json] [--follow] [--list]"}}
132: ```
133: 
134: Human-readable mode prints the same actionable message without JSON:
135: 
136: ```text
137: Unknown option `--jsno`. Did you mean `--json`?
138: Usage: traces share [--trace-id ID | --source-path PATH | --cwd DIR] [--agent ID] [--visibility MODE] [--key TOKEN] [--json] [--follow] [--list]
139: ```
140: 
141: This is intentional: agent typos should fail loudly instead of silently changing behavior.
142: 
143: ### Setup, Removal, and Git Hooks
144: 
145: Use these commands to manage Traces skills integration:
146: 
147: ```bash
148: # Install skills in the current project
149: traces setup
150: 
151: # Equivalent explicit target
152: traces setup skills
153: 
154: # Install for specific agents only
155: traces setup skills --agent codex cursor
156: 
157: # Install git hooks in the current repo
158: traces setup git
159: 
160: # Remove skills from the current project
161: traces remove skills
162: 
163: # Remove globally from your home directory
164: traces remove skills --global
165: 
166: # Remove git hooks from the current repo
167: traces remove git
168: ```
169: 
170: Notes:
171: - `traces setup` currently maps to `traces setup skills`.
172: - `traces setup --agent ...` accepts one or more space-separated agent IDs until the next flag.
173: 
174: ### Transfer
175: 
176: Use `transfer` to move a trace between namespaces:
177: 
178: ```bash
179: traces transfer tr_123 --to @acme
180: ```
181: 
182: Notes:
183: 
184: - You must be the trace creator and a member of the target namespace.
185: - `transfer` now uses strict parsing too, so malformed invocations fail before any network request is made.
186: 
187: ### Troubleshooting
188: 
189: **Database corruption**: If the TUI shows errors or traces don't load correctly, run:
190: ```bash

3: Make the CLI more reliable for agents and scripts without breaking existing clients.
4: 
5: ## Goals
6: 
7: - Fail fast on invalid invocations instead of silently ignoring mistakes.
8: - Make every automation-facing command self-discoverable via local `--help` output with examples.
9: - Standardize machine-readable output and exit-code behavior across the CLI.
10: - Make destructive or state-changing commands safer with explicit non-interactive and preview paths.
11: - Add stdin support and naming aliases in a compatibility-safe, additive way.
12: 
13: ## Non-Goals
14: 
15: - No API or frontend changes.
16: - No TUI redesign.
17: - No removal or renaming of existing flags.
18: - No automatic stdin reading just because input is piped.
19: - No breaking changes to existing JSON success/error payloads.
20: 
21: ## Why This Project Exists
22: 
23: The CLI already has good agent-friendly foundations in `share`, `list`, `setup`, and `remove skills`, but it still has a few sharp edges:
24: 
25: - Unknown flags are silently ignored in several parsers.
26: - Help is uneven across commands and usually lacks concrete examples.
27: - JSON output exists for some commands but not for the full automation surface.
28: - Destructive commands do not consistently support `--dry-run` or non-interactive bypasses.
29: - Similar concepts use different names across commands (`--cwd` vs `--dir`, `--key` vs likely aliases).
30: - Commands do not yet support explicit stdin-driven composition.
31: 
32: ## Compatibility Constraints
33: 
34: - Existing commands and flags must keep working.
35: - Existing JSON envelopes stay stable; only additive fields are allowed.
36: - New aliases must map to the current canonical internal fields.
37: - Stdin support must be opt-in (`-` sentinel or explicit flag), not implicit.
38: - Human-readable deprecation guidance must never appear in `--json` mode.
39: - Existing special exit codes should be preserved where already shipped unless we intentionally migrate them with coverage and release notes.
40: 
41: ## Current Status
42: 
43: The first implementation slice is now landed on this branch.
44: 
45: - Added a shared strict parser foundation in `cli/src/commands/strict-parser.ts`.
46: - Migrated `share`, `list`, `setup`, `remove skills`, and `transfer` to fail fast on unknown flags, missing values, and unexpected extra arguments.
47: - Routed parser failures through the CLI entrypoints so automation gets exit code `2`, plus JSON-shaped `INVALID_ARGUMENTS` errors where `--json` already exists.
48: - Added parser regression coverage for strict failures and backcompat-valid invocations.
49: 
50: Still pending from the broader plan:
51: 
52: - per-command `--help` and richer examples
53: - broader `--json` coverage across the rest of the automation surface
54: - `--dry-run` and explicit non-interactive paths for mutating commands
55: - additive stdin support and naming aliases
56: 
57: ## Design Principles
58: 
59: - **Strict parsing:** unknown flags, missing values, and extra positional args fail immediately with actionable guidance.
60: - **Additive compatibility:** aliases and stdin support extend the interface; they do not replace existing usage.
61: - **Local discoverability:** agents should be able to learn the CLI by running `traces <command> --help`.
62: - **Stable machine output:** JSON payloads go to stdout on success and stderr on failure with a consistent envelope.
63: - **Safe mutation:** mutating commands should support preview and non-interactive execution.
64: - **Predictable naming:** the same concept should use the same name everywhere, with aliases where history already differs.
65: 
66: ## Target Surface
67: 
68: ### Strict Parsing
69: 
70: - Introduce a shared parser layer for CLI commands instead of hand-written permissive loops.
71: - Fail on:
72:   - unknown options
73:   - missing option values
74:   - invalid enum values
75:   - unexpected extra positional args
76: - Include suggestions where possible (`--jsno` -> `--json`).
77: - Standardize invalid-usage exits to code `2` for newly migrated commands.
78: 
79: ### Help and Examples
80: 
81: - Add `--help` support to every non-trivial command and subcommand.
82: - Each help page should include:
83:   - what the command does
84:   - required/optional arguments
85:   - 2-4 concrete examples
86:   - notes for automation when relevant (`--json`, `--yes`, `--dry-run`, stdin)
87: 
88: ### Structured Output
89: 
90: - Expand `--json` coverage to the full automation surface:
91:   - `status`
92:   - `doctor`
93:   - `whoami`
94:   - `namespace` subcommands
95:   - `transfer`
96:   - `setup git`
97:   - `remove git`
98:   - `uninstall`
99: - Keep the existing `ok/data/error` envelope shape.
100: - Keep human-mode formatting separate from JSON mode.
101: 
102: ### Safe Mutation
103: 
104: - Add `--dry-run` to commands that remove files, mutate config, or change server-side state.
105: - Standardize confirmation bypasses:
106:   - `--yes` for confirmation-driven flows
107:   - `--force` where the command already uses force semantics
108: - Add explicit non-interactive behavior so commands error with guidance instead of hanging on prompts.
109: 
110: ### Additive stdin and Aliases
111: 
112: - Add opt-in stdin support using one of these patterns:
113:   - `--trace-id -`
114:   - `--from-stdin`
115:   - `--input json`
116: - Keep stdin support explicit per command.
117: - Add compatibility-safe aliases:
118:   - `--api-key` and `--token` -> `--key`
119:   - `share --dir` -> `--cwd`
120:   - `list --cwd` -> `--dir`
121: - Show one canonical name in help while continuing to accept the old one.
122: 
123: ## Phase Plan
124: 
125: ### Phase 0: Baseline Contracts and Safety Rails
126: 
127: - Add characterization tests for existing behavior we must preserve.
128: - Snapshot current JSON payloads for `share`, `list`, `setup`, and `remove skills`.
129: - Document the initial exit-code contract before broadening it.
130: - Capture compatibility constraints in code comments/tests so follow-up phases do not drift.
131: 
132: ### Phase 1: Shared Strict Parser Foundation
133: 
134: - Status: first slice complete on this branch.
135: - Introduce a small shared parser utility for commands with:
136:   - known option definitions
137:   - aliases
138:   - value requirements
139:   - positional argument rules
140:   - suggestion support
141: - Migrate the most automation-sensitive commands first:
142:   - `share`
143:   - `list`
144:   - `setup`
145:   - `remove skills`
146:   - `transfer`
147: - Replace silent-ignore parser tests with fail-fast tests.
148: 
149: ### Phase 2: Per-Command Help and Examples
150: 
151: - Add `--help` to all non-trivial commands and subcommands.
152: - Cover at least:
153:   - `share`
154:   - `list`
155:   - `status`
156:   - `doctor`
157:   - `whoami`
158:   - `namespace list|use|pin|unpin`
159:   - `transfer`
160:   - `reset`
161:   - `setup skills|git`
162:   - `remove skills|git`
163:   - `hook post-commit|prepare-commit-msg`
164:   - `uninstall`
165: - Use examples that reflect real agent workflows, especially `--json` and explicit selectors.
166: 
167: ### Phase 3: Structured Output and Exit-Code Unification
168: 
169: - Add `--json` to the remaining automation-facing commands.
170: - Ensure success JSON goes to stdout and error JSON goes to stderr.

+### Authentication
+
+Authenticated commands support three auth paths:
+
+1. stored credentials from `traces login`
+2. an explicit bearer token via `--key TOKEN`
+3. a default bearer token via `TRACES_API_KEY`
+
+`--key` is global, so it works with all API-backed commands, not just `share`.

+Examples:
+
+```bash
+traces --key <trk_...> namespace list
+traces --key <trk_...> whoami
+TRACES_API_KEY=[REDACTED] traces status
+TRACES_API_KEY=[REDACTED] traces share --cwd "$PWD" --agent codex --json

+
+Notes:
+
+- API keys are namespace-scoped.
+- `namespace use` cannot switch an API key into another namespace.
+- Use a key issued for the target namespace, or use `traces login` if you need interactive namespace switching.

+
+The CLI now fails fast on invalid invocations for the first automation-facing slice:
+
+- `traces share`
+- `traces list`
+- `traces setup`
+- `traces remove skills`
+- `traces transfer`
+
+For these commands, the parser rejects:
+
+- unknown flags
+- missing option values
+- unexpected extra positional arguments
+
+Invalid usage exits with code `2`.
+
+When `--json` is supported on the command (`share`, `list`, `setup`, `remove skills`), parse failures emit a machine-readable error envelope to stderr:
+
+```json
+{"ok":false,"error":{"code":"INVALID_ARGUMENTS","message":"Unknown option `--jsno`. Did you mean `--json`?\nUsage: traces share [--trace-id ID | --source-path PATH | --cwd DIR] [--agent ID] [--visibility MODE] [--key TOKEN] [--json] [--follow] [--list]"}}

+
+This is intentional: agent typos should fail loudly instead of silently changing behavior.

## Assistant

Updated the docs to match the strict parsing slice and the current CLI surface.

- `docs/cli.md`
  - added `transfer` to the command list
  - documented global `--key` auth usage
  - added an `Argument Validation and Automation` section covering fail-fast parsing, exit code `2`, and JSON `INVALID_ARGUMENTS` errors
  - fixed setup docs to use space-separated `--agent` values
  - documented `setup git` / `remove git` as available
  - added a dedicated `transfer` section

- `docs/projects/cli-agent-hardening.md`
  - added a `Current Status` section describing what’s already landed in this branch
  - marked the first Phase 1 slice as complete-in-branch
  - clarified what still remains

Notably, I also corrected a couple of stale docs claims:
- `docs/cli.md` no longer says `setup git` / `remove git` are “reserved”
- `docs/cli.md` no longer implies comma-separated `--agent` values for setup

These doc changes are local in the worktree right now and not yet committed/pushed to the PR. If you want, I can add them to the existing PR next.

Pushed the docs update to the existing PR.

- PR: `https://github.com/market-dot-dev/traces/pull/588`
- New commit: `ced87b03` — `docs: update CLI hardening guidance`

I updated:
- `docs/cli.md`
- `docs/projects/cli-agent-hardening.md`

This adds the new strict parsing behavior, auth notes, `transfer`, git hook commands, and marks the first hardening slice as complete in the project doc. No tests were run since this was docs-only.

## User

no i don't need to add a project called cli-agent-hardening, aren't all the changes in here already, don't pollute the repo

<content>1: # Project: CLI Agent Hardening
2: 
3: Make the CLI more reliable for agents and scripts without breaking existing clients.
4: 
5: ## Goals
6: 
7: - Fail fast on invalid invocations instead of silently ignoring mistakes.
8: - Make every automation-facing command self-discoverable via local `--help` output with examples.
9: - Standardize machine-readable output and exit-code behavior across the CLI.
10: - Make destructive or state-changing commands safer with explicit non-interactive and preview paths.
11: - Add stdin support and naming aliases in a compatibility-safe, additive way.
12: 
13: ## Non-Goals
14: 
15: - No API or frontend changes.
16: - No TUI redesign.
17: - No removal or renaming of existing flags.
18: - No automatic stdin reading just because input is piped.
19: - No breaking changes to existing JSON success/error payloads.
20: 
21: ## Why This Project Exists
22: 
23: The CLI already has good agent-friendly foundations in `share`, `list`, `setup`, and `remove skills`, but it still has a few sharp edges:
24: 
25: - Unknown flags are silently ignored in several parsers.
26: - Help is uneven across commands and usually lacks concrete examples.
27: - JSON output exists for some commands but not for the full automation surface.
28: - Destructive commands do not consistently support `--dry-run` or non-interactive bypasses.
29: - Similar concepts use different names across commands (`--cwd` vs `--dir`, `--key` vs likely aliases).
30: - Commands do not yet support explicit stdin-driven composition.
31: 
32: ## Compatibility Constraints
33: 
34: - Existing commands and flags must keep working.
35: - Existing JSON envelopes stay stable; only additive fields are allowed.
36: - New aliases must map to the current canonical internal fields.
37: - Stdin support must be opt-in (`-` sentinel or explicit flag), not implicit.
38: - Human-readable deprecation guidance must never appear in `--json` mode.
39: - Existing special exit codes should be preserved where already shipped unless we intentionally migrate them with coverage and release notes.
40: 
41: ## Current Status
42: 
43: The first implementation slice is now landed on this branch.
44: 
45: - Added a shared strict parser foundation in `cli/src/commands/strict-parser.ts`.
46: - Migrated `share`, `list`, `setup`, `remove skills`, and `transfer` to fail fast on unknown flags, missing values, and unexpected extra arguments.
47: - Routed parser failures through the CLI entrypoints so automation gets exit code `2`, plus JSON-shaped `INVALID_ARGUMENTS` errors where `--json` already exists.
48: - Added parser regression coverage for strict failures and backcompat-valid invocations.
49: 
50: Still pending from the broader plan:
51: 
52: - per-command `--help` and richer examples
53: - broader `--json` coverage across the rest of the automation surface
54: - `--dry-run` and explicit non-interactive paths for mutating commands
55: - additive stdin support and naming aliases
56: 
57: ## Design Principles
58: 
59: - **Strict parsing:** unknown flags, missing values, and extra positional args fail immediately with actionable guidance.
60: - **Additive compatibility:** aliases and stdin support extend the interface; they do not replace existing usage.
61: - **Local discoverability:** agents should be able to learn the CLI by running `traces <command> --help`.
62: - **Stable machine output:** JSON payloads go to stdout on success and stderr on failure with a consistent envelope.
63: - **Safe mutation:** mutating commands should support preview and non-interactive execution.
64: - **Predictable naming:** the same concept should use the same name everywhere, with aliases where history already differs.
65: 
66: ## Target Surface
67: 
68: ### Strict Parsing
69: 
70: - Introduce a shared parser layer for CLI commands instead of hand-written permissive loops.
71: - Fail on:
72:   - unknown options
73:   - missing option values
74:   - invalid enum values
75:   - unexpected extra positional args
76: - Include suggestions where possible (`--jsno` -> `--json`).
77: - Standardize invalid-usage exits to code `2` for newly migrated commands.

-
-## Target Surface
-
-### Strict Parsing
-
-- Introduce a shared parser layer for CLI commands instead of hand-written permissive loops.
-- Fail on:
-  - unknown options
-  - missing option values
-  - invalid enum values
-  - unexpected extra positional args
-- Include suggestions where possible (`--jsno` -> `--json`).
-- Standardize invalid-usage exits to code `2` for newly migrated commands.
-
-### Help and Examples
-
-- Add `--help` support to every non-trivial command and subcommand.
-- Each help page should include:
-  - what the command does
-  - required/optional arguments
-  - 2-4 concrete examples
-  - notes for automation when relevant (`--json`, `--yes`, `--dry-run`, stdin)
-
-### Structured Output
-
-- Expand `--json` coverage to the full automation surface:
-  - `status`
-  - `doctor`
-  - `whoami`
-  - `namespace` subcommands
-  - `transfer`
-  - `setup git`
-  - `remove git`
-  - `uninstall`
-- Keep the existing `ok/data/error` envelope shape.
-- Keep human-mode formatting separate from JSON mode.
-
-### Safe Mutation
-
-- Add `--dry-run` to commands that remove files, mutate config, or change server-side state.
-- Standardize confirmation bypasses:
-  - `--yes` for confirmation-driven flows
-  - `--force` where the command already uses force semantics
-- Add explicit non-interactive behavior so commands error with guidance instead of hanging on prompts.
-
-### Additive stdin and Aliases
-
-- Add opt-in stdin support using one of these patterns:
-  - `--trace-id -`
-  - `--from-stdin`
-  - `--input json`
-- Keep stdin support explicit per command.
-- Add compatibility-safe aliases:
-  - `--api-key` and `--token` -> `--key`
-  - `share --dir` -> `--cwd`
-  - `list --cwd` -> `--dir`
-- Show one canonical name in help while continuing to accept the old one.
-
-## Phase Plan
-
-### Phase 0: Baseline Contracts and Safety Rails
-
-- Add characterization tests for existing behavior we must preserve.
-- Snapshot current JSON payloads for `share`, `list`, `setup`, and `remove skills`.
-- Document the initial exit-code contract before broadening it.
-- Capture compatibility constraints in code comments/tests so follow-up phases do not drift.
-
-### Phase 1: Shared Strict Parser Foundation
-
-- Status: first slice complete on this branch.
-- Introduce a small shared parser utility for commands with:
-  - known option definitions
-  - aliases
-  - value requirements
-  - positional argument rules
-  - suggestion support
-- Migrate the most automation-sensitive commands first:
-  - `share`
-  - `list`
-  - `setup`
-  - `remove skills`
-  - `transfer`
-- Replace silent-ignore parser tests with fail-fast tests.
-
-### Phase 2: Per-Command Help and Examples
-
-- Add `--help` to all non-trivial commands and subcommands.
-- Cover at least:
-  - `share`
-  - `list`
-  - `status`
-  - `doctor`
-  - `whoami`
-  - `namespace list|use|pin|unpin`
-  - `transfer`
-  - `reset`
-  - `setup skills|git`
-  - `remove skills|git`
-  - `hook post-commit|prepare-commit-msg`
-  - `uninstall`
-- Use examples that reflect real agent workflows, especially `--json` and explicit selectors.
-
-### Phase 3: Structured Output and Exit-Code Unification
-
-- Add `--json` to the remaining automation-facing commands.
-- Ensure success JSON goes to stdout and error JSON goes to stderr.
-- Remove ANSI from JSON mode and from non-TTY human output where it interferes with automation.
-- Normalize invalid-usage exits to `2` for migrated commands.
-- Preserve already-shipped special-case exit codes until we intentionally migrate them.
-
-### Phase 4: Mutating Command Hardening
-
-- Add `--dry-run` to:
-  - `reset`
-  - `remove skills`
-  - `setup git`
-  - `remove git`
-  - `transfer`
-  - `uninstall`
-- Keep default interactive confirmations where they already exist.
-- Add explicit non-interactive failure paths for commands that would otherwise prompt.
-- Make dry-run output useful for both human mode and JSON mode.
-
-### Phase 5: Additive Stdin and Alias Rollout
-
-- Add explicit stdin ingestion for the small set of commands where composition matters most:
-  - `share`
-  - `transfer`
-  - optional follow-up for `namespace use` if needed
-- Add new aliases without removing existing names.
-- Keep docs and help canonical while marking aliases as accepted alternatives.
-- Add tests proving that legacy flags and new aliases both resolve to the same internal fields.
-
-### Phase 6: Polish and Follow-Through
-
-- Update `docs/cli.md` with the new help, JSON, stdin, alias, and dry-run behavior.
-- Add release notes describing the new additive interfaces.
-- Consider telemetry for invalid-argument classes so future parser work is driven by real usage.
-
-## Command Worklist
-
-| Command | Strict parse | `--help` | `--json` | `--dry-run` | stdin/aliases |
-|---|---|---|---|---|---|

-## Testing Plan
-
-- **Parser tests:** unknown flags, missing values, invalid enums, extra args, alias resolution, suggestion text.
-- **Backcompat tests:** current flags continue to work; current JSON payloads remain unchanged except for additive fields.
-- **Help tests:** every migrated command supports `--help` and includes at least one example.
-- **JSON tests:** stdout/stderr routing stays correct and payloads remain machine-readable.
-- **Dry-run tests:** no file system or network side effects occur when `--dry-run` is set.
-- **Non-interactive tests:** commands fail with actionable guidance instead of waiting on prompts.
-- **Stdin tests:** only explicit stdin modes consume input; plain piped stdin does not change command behavior.
-
-## Rollout Order
-
-1. Phase 0 and Phase 1 first, because silent argument ignoring is the biggest correctness risk.
-2. Phase 2 next, so the stricter parser has clear local guidance to point users and agents toward.
-3. Phase 3 after that, so the full automation surface becomes scriptable.
-4. Phase 4 once parser and JSON scaffolding are in place.
-5. Phase 5 last, because stdin and alias work must stay strictly additive and well-tested.
-
-## Success Criteria
-
-- No automation-facing command silently ignores invalid flags.
-- An agent can learn the CLI from `--help` output alone.
-- The full automation surface offers predictable JSON output.
-- Destructive commands can be previewed safely.
-- Existing clients keep working unchanged while new aliases and stdin paths become available.

Yep — agreed. I removed the extra planning doc and pushed the cleanup to the PR.

- Removed `docs/projects/cli-agent-hardening.md`
- Removed its index entry from `docs/README.md`
- Kept the actual shipped behavior documented in `docs/cli.md`

Pushed to the same PR:
- PR: `https://github.com/market-dot-dev/traces/pull/588`
- Cleanup commit: `6e60ce64` — `docs: remove extra CLI hardening plan`

So the repo is back to just the real CLI docs, without the extra project page.

60: 
61: Debug:
62:   --debug PATH                Write debug log to PATH (works with any command)
63: ```
64: 
65: ### Per-directory namespace (`.tracesrc`)
66: 
67: Place a `.tracesrc` file in a project directory to automatically switch namespace when running CLI commands from that directory. The CLI walks up from the working directory to find the nearest one.
68: 
69: ```
70: namespace = @acme
71: ```
72: 
73: When the CLI starts, if the `.tracesrc` namespace differs from the active one, it switches automatically. Unknown or inaccessible namespaces are silently ignored, so this file is safe to commit to shared repos.
74: 
75: To create or remove the file:
76: 
77: ```bash
78: traces namespace pin @acme    # writes .tracesrc in current directory
79: traces namespace pin           # pins the currently active namespace
80: traces namespace unpin         # removes .tracesrc from current directory
81: ```
82: 
83: `unpin` only removes `.tracesrc` from the current directory, not from parent directories.
84: 
85: ### Authentication
86: <<<<<<< HEAD
87: 
88: Authenticated CLI commands now support three auth paths:
89: 
90: 1. stored credentials from `traces login`
91: 2. an explicit bearer token via `--key TOKEN`
92: 3. a default bearer token via `TRACES_API_KEY`
93: 
94: `--key` is global, so it works with any authenticated command, not just `share`.
95: That includes `status`, `whoami`, `namespace list`, `doctor`, `transfer`, and
96: other API-backed flows.
97: 
98: Examples:
99: 
100: ```bash
101: traces --key <trk_...> namespace list
102: traces --key <trk_...> whoami
103: TRACES_API_KEY=[REDACTED] traces status
104: TRACES_API_KEY=[REDACTED] traces share --cwd "$PWD" --agent codex --json
105: ```
106: 
107: Notes:
108: 
109: - API keys are namespace-scoped.
110: - `namespace use` cannot switch an API key into another namespace.
111: - Use a key issued for the target namespace, or use `traces login` if you need
112:   interactive namespace switching.
113: 
114: ### Share discovery and fallback
115: 
116: When `traces share` needs to resolve the active trace from `--cwd`, it uses the
117: strongest available hint first:
118: 
119: 1. explicit selectors such as `--trace-id` or `--source-path`
120: 2. exact current-session env hints like `TRACES_CURRENT_TRACE_ID` and `TRACES_CURRENT_SOURCE_PATH`
121: 3. adapter hints from `getCurrentTraceHint()` (for example, Codex can use `CODEX_SESSION_ID` when it is available to child processes)
122: 4. directory matching for the newest trace in `--cwd`
123: 5. agent-latest fallback if no stronger match exists
124: 
125: If multiple sessions are active and no exact hint is available, use discovery
126: mode to pick the trace explicitly:
127: 
128: ```bash
129: traces share --list --cwd "$PWD" --agent codex --json
130: traces share --trace-id <selected-id> --json
131: ```
132: 
133: This is the most reliable fallback in headless environments where hooks or
134: runtime env hints are unavailable.
135: 
136: ### Skills setup and removal
137: =======
138: >>>>>>> ced87b03 (docs: update CLI hardening guidance)
139: 
140: Authenticated commands support three auth paths:
141: 
142: 1. stored credentials from `traces login`
143: 2. an explicit bearer token via `--key TOKEN`
144: 3. a default bearer token via `TRACES_API_KEY`
145: 
146: `--key` is global, so it works with all API-backed commands, not just `share`.
147: 
148: Examples:
149: 
150: ```bash
151: traces --key <trk_...> namespace list
152: traces --key <trk_...> whoami
153: TRACES_API_KEY=[REDACTED] traces status
154: TRACES_API_KEY=[REDACTED] traces share --cwd "$PWD" --agent codex --json
155: ```
156: 
157: Notes:
158: 
159: - API keys are namespace-scoped.
160: - `namespace use` cannot switch an API key into another namespace.
161: - Use a key issued for the target namespace, or use `traces login` if you need interactive namespace switching.
162: 
163: ### Argument Validation and Automation
164: 
165: The CLI now fails fast on invalid invocations for the first automation-facing slice:
166: 
167: - `traces share`
168: - `traces list`
169: - `traces setup`
170: - `traces remove skills`
171: - `traces transfer`
172: 
173: For these commands, the parser rejects:
174: 
175: - unknown flags
176: - missing option values
177: - unexpected extra positional arguments
178: 
179: Invalid usage exits with code `2`.
180: 
181: When `--json` is supported on the command (`share`, `list`, `setup`, `remove skills`), parse failures emit a machine-readable error envelope to stderr:
182: 
183: ```json
184: {"ok":false,"error":{"code":"INVALID_ARGUMENTS","message":"Unknown option `--jsno`. Did you mean `--json`?\nUsage: traces share [--trace-id ID | --source-path PATH | --cwd DIR] [--agent ID] [--visibility MODE] [--key TOKEN] [--json] [--follow] [--list]"}}
185: ```
186: 
187: Human-readable mode prints the same actionable message without JSON:
188: 
189: ```text
190: Unknown option `--jsno`. Did you mean `--json`?
191: Usage: traces share [--trace-id ID | --source-path PATH | --cwd DIR] [--agent ID] [--visibility MODE] [--key TOKEN] [--json] [--follow] [--list]
192: ```
193: 
194: This is intentional: agent typos should fail loudly instead of silently changing behavior.
195: 
196: ### Setup, Removal, and Git Hooks
197: 
198: Use these commands to manage Traces skills and git hook integration:
199: 
200: ```bash
201: # Install skills in the current project
202: traces setup
203: 
204: # Equivalent explicit target
205: traces setup skills
206: 
207: # Install for specific agents only
208: traces setup skills --agent codex cursor
209: 
210: # Install git hooks in the current repo
211: traces setup git
212: 
213: # Remove skills from the current project
214: traces remove skills
215: 
216: # Remove globally from your home directory
217: traces remove skills --global
218: 
219: # Remove git hooks from the current repo
220: traces remove git

# Agent Instructions

## Package Manager
- **Bun** everywhere: `bun install`, `bun run dev`
- **Convex CLI**: `bunx convex dev`, `bunx convex deploy`

## Commit Attribution
AI commits MUST include:
```
Co-Authored-By: (the agent model's name and attribution byline)
```

## Project Structure
```

├── api/          # Convex backend (see api/AGENTS.md)
├── cli/          # Bun CLI TUI (see cli/AGENTS.md)

├── packages/
│   └── shared/   # @traces/shared types
└── docs/         # Architecture docs (reference only)
```

## Managing Projects

- MUST: Core project outline and purpose always clear
- MUST: Start at lowest level - API, Types before frontend
- MUST: Clear atomic checklist items
- MUST: Phases should be committable and reversible
- NEVER: Commit without asking
- NEVER: Change API, CLI, Frontend all at once unless permitted
- SHOULD: Keep project plan updated

## Writing Tests

- MUST: Write cleanup functions for every test
- MUST: Test behavior, not code structure
- MUST: Use simple, easy-to-understand names

## Defining Types

- MUST: Use `@traces/shared` for shared types
- Reference: `docs/types.md`

## Shared Package (`@traces/shared`)

The `packages/shared/` package provides types consumed by both `api/` and `frontend/`.

**Two type generation pipelines:**
1. **OpenAPI types** (`bun run generate:api` in `packages/shared/`) — generates REST API types from `openapi.json`
2. **Convex query types** (`bun run generate:convex` in `packages/shared/`) — generates typed function references from the running Convex backend via `convex-helpers ts-api-spec`

**Convex return types:** When a Convex query/mutation has a `returns` validator, `ts-api-spec` generates a typed return type. Without `returns`, the return type is `any`.
- MUST: Add `returns` validators to public queries so the frontend gets type safety
- Run `bun run generate:convex` (requires local Convex backend running) after changing query signatures
- Run `bun run build` in `packages/shared/` to compile the types
- The `watch-convex.ts` dev script auto-regenerates on file changes during development

## Deployment

### CI/CD Workflows (`.github/workflows/`)

| Workflow | Trigger | What it does |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `api-deploy.yml` | Push to `main` when `api/**` changes | Deploy Convex + run migrations + run backfills |
| `api-tests.yml` | PR / push | Run API test suite |
| `ci.yml` | PR / push | General CI checks |
| `release-cli.yml` | Release tag | Build + publish CLI binaries |

### API Deploy Pipeline (`api-deploy.yml`)

On push to `main` with `api/**` changes:
1. `bunx convex deploy` — pushes functions + schema to production Convex
2. `bunx convex run internal/migrations:run` — runs framework migrations (tracked, idempotent)
3. Backfill migrations (currently none pending — add new ones to the "Run backfill migrations" step as needed, and remove completed ones once they've run on main)

**Key:** The workflow only triggers on `api/**` path changes. Changes to `.github/workflows/`, `frontend/`, or `packages/` alone will NOT trigger a deploy.

### Adding New Migrations

- Framework migrations: Add to the `run` runner array in `internal/migrations.ts`
- Backfill migrations: Add as `internalMutation` with pagination + self-scheduling, then add to the "Run backfill migrations" step in `api-deploy.yml`
- MUST: All migrations must be idempotent (safe to run repeatedly)
- Manual-only migrations (e.g., `backfillTraceSummaries`) should NOT be added to the deploy workflow

  setup [skills] --yes        Skip confirmation prompts
  setup [skills] --agent ID,...  Install for specific agents only
  setup [skills] --global     Install globally (not per-project)
  setup [skills] --json       Print machine-readable JSON output
  remove skills --yes         Skip confirmation prompt
  remove skills --global      Remove from home directory
  remove skills --json        Print machine-readable JSON output
  reset --force, -f           Skip confirmation prompt
  reset --all, -a             Also clear credentials (logout)

Debug:
  --debug PATH                Write debug log to PATH (works with any command)
```

### Per-directory namespace (`.tracesrc`)

Place a `.tracesrc` file in a project directory to automatically switch namespace when running CLI commands from that directory. The CLI walks up from the working directory to find the nearest one.

```
namespace = @acme
```

When the CLI starts, if the `.tracesrc` namespace differs from the active one, it switches automatically. Unknown or inaccessible namespaces are silently ignored, so this file is safe to commit to shared repos.

To create or remove the file:

```bash
traces namespace pin @acme    # writes .tracesrc in current directory
traces namespace pin           # pins the currently active namespace
traces namespace unpin         # removes .tracesrc from current directory
```

`unpin` only removes `.tracesrc` from the current directory, not from parent directories.

### Authentication

Authenticated CLI commands now support three auth paths:

1. stored credentials from `traces login`
2. an explicit bearer token via `--key TOKEN`
3. a default bearer token via `TRACES_API_KEY`

`--key` is global, so it works with any authenticated command, not just `share`.
That includes `status`, `whoami`, `namespace list`, `doctor`, `transfer`, and
other API-backed flows.

Examples:

```bash
traces --key <trk_...> namespace list
traces --key <trk_...> whoami
TRACES_API_KEY=[REDACTED] traces status
TRACES_API_KEY=[REDACTED] traces share --cwd "$PWD" --agent codex --json
```

Notes:

- API keys are namespace-scoped.
- `namespace use` cannot switch an API key into another namespace.
- Use a key issued for the target namespace, or use `traces login` if you need
  interactive namespace switching.

### Share discovery and fallback

When `traces share` needs to resolve the active trace from `--cwd`, it uses the
strongest available hint first:

1. explicit selectors such as `--trace-id` or `--source-path`
2. exact current-session env hints like `TRACES_CURRENT_TRACE_ID` and `TRACES_CURRENT_SOURCE_PATH`
3. adapter hints from `getCurrentTraceHint()` (for example, Codex can use `CODEX_SESSION_ID` when it is available to child processes)
4. directory matching for the newest trace in `--cwd`
5. agent-latest fallback if no stronger match exists

If multiple sessions are active and no exact hint is available, use discovery
mode to pick the trace explicitly:

```bash
traces share --list --cwd "$PWD" --agent codex --json
traces share --trace-id <selected-id> --json
```

This is the most reliable fallback in headless environments where hooks or
runtime env hints are unavailable.

### Skills setup and removal

Use these commands to manage Traces skills integration:

```bash
# Install skills in the current project
traces setup

# Equivalent explicit target
traces setup skills

# Install for specific agents only
traces setup skills --agent codex,cursor

# Remove skills from the current project
traces remove skills

# Remove globally from your home directory
traces remove skills --global
```

Notes:
- `traces setup` currently maps to `traces setup skills`.
- `traces setup git` and `traces remove git` are reserved but not yet available.

### Troubleshooting

**Database corruption**: If the TUI shows errors or traces don't load correctly, run:
```bash
traces reset
```
This deletes the local SQLite database and forces a full resync on next launch.

**Diagnose issues**: Run the doctor command to check installation, database, network, and auth:
```bash
traces doctor
```

**Check current status**: View database size, trace count, and auth status:
```bash
traces status
```

**Debug logging**: Pass `--debug <path>` to write a timestamped log of internal events (keypresses, state changes, errors). The flag can appear anywhere in the command and works with all subcommands:
```bash
traces --debug /tmp/traces-debug.log
traces share --trace-id abc123 --debug /tmp/share-debug.log
```

## Roles and boundaries

**TUI (View)**
- Only calls methods on `TraceController`.
- Never reads adapters directly.
- Never touches EventStore for detail view data.

**TraceController (Controller)**
- Single entry point for UI actions.
- Merges adapter traces with EventStore metadata.
- Creates `Trace` models for content reads.
- Owns subscription lifecycle for live updates.

**Trace (Model)**
- Wraps adapter + store for a single trace.
- `getContent()` delegates to adapter.
- Stores metadata changes in EventStore when needed.

**Adapters (Data source)**
- Parse agent storage into `TraceContent` + `TraceEvent`.
- Provide live updates via `subscribe()`.
- No persistence responsibilities.

**EventStore (Persistence)**
- Stores trace metadata + shared state.
- Acts as a sync cache for shared traces only.
- Not used for detail view content.

**TraceIndexer (Discovery)**
- Background service for incremental trace discovery.
- Uses cursor-based scanning to avoid redundant work.
- Stores index state in the `indexes` SQLite table per adapter.
- Supports history-first discovery (scan from tail of JSONL files).

**Services**
- API client, clipboard, updates, request history.
- Called by the controller or TUI when needed.

## Rules of access

- **TUI never calls adapters directly.**
- **Only TraceController may access adapters.**
- EventStore is for **metadata + sync cache**, not UI detail rendering.

## Empty Session Guards

Sessions can end up with 0 events for legitimate reasons (e.g. JSONL files containing only metadata entries like `summary` or `file-history-snapshot`). To prevent these from being shared as empty traces, guards exist at three layers:

| Layer | File | Behavior |
|-------|------|----------|
| **TUI** | `src/tui/hooks/useAppState.ts` | Shows user-friendly error before share attempt; retries hydration up to 3 times in case the adapter hasn't finished parsing |
| **Controller** | `src/core/trace-controller.ts` | `performShare` rejects with a structured error if content has 0 events after adapter returns |
| **API client** | `src/services/api.ts` | `backfillTrace` bails early with a warning if the transformed message list is empty, preventing a server round-trip |

These guards are defense-in-depth -- any single layer is sufficient to prevent an empty trace from reaching the server. Adapters do **not** need to implement their own empty-session guard; they should parse honestly and populate the `ParseDiagnostics` object passed by `BaseAdapter.getTraceContent()` to report what was skipped or unrecognized. Diagnostics are emitted to Sentry structured logs (`cli.adapter.empty_parse`, `cli.adapter.unhandled_types`).

See `docs/adding-agents.md` "Parse Diagnostics" section for adapter-level guidance.

## Remote Config

The CLI fetches remote configuration from `${TRACES_URL}/config.json` on startup. This allows server-side overrides without CLI updates:

| Key | Default | Description |
|-----|---------|-------------|
| `sessionListLimit` | 200 | Max traces shown in TUI |
| `largeSessionWarningThreshold` | 10000 | Warn before sharing large traces |
| `readOnlyMode` | false | Disable all write operations |
| `maxEventBytes` | 524288 | Max bytes per single event upload |
| `maxBatchBytes` | 4194304 | Max bytes per batch upload |
| `maxBatchItems` | 50 | Max messages per batch |

## Credentials storage

The CLI stores credentials in the OS config directory (XDG on Linux, Application Support on macOS, AppData on Windows).
Credential files are **per server URL** and saved as `credentials-<hash>.json` alongside `device.json`.

## Events vs Messages

**CLI uses events internally, API uses messages+parts.**

```
CLI (events)  ->  transform()  ->  API (messages+parts)
                      ^
               uses @traces/shared types
```

| Layer | Internal Model | Tables |
|-------|---------------|--------|
| CLI | Event-sourced (flat) | `traces`, `events`, `indexes` |
| API | Relational (grouped) | `traces`, `messages`, `parts` |

**Why CLI uses events:**
- Events match how adapters parse trace files (line by line)
- Flat event stream preserves exact order/timing
- Transformation to messages is simple and happens at sync boundary
- High migration cost for low benefit if we changed CLI schema

**CLI event types** (`src/types.ts`):
- `user_message`, `agent_text`, `agent_thinking`
- `tool_call`, `tool_result`, `error`

**Sync boundary:**
- CLI transforms events -> messages when calling API
- Uses `@traces/shared` types (`Message`, `Part`, `PartType`)
- Transform logic lives in `src/services/api.ts`
- Oversized events (>512KB) are truncated before upload
- Events are scrubbed for secrets via `src/services/scrub-secrets.ts`

## SQLite Migrations

The CLI uses SQLite for local storage with `PRAGMA user_version` for schema versioning.

### How it works

```typescript
// cli/src/core/migrations.ts
export const CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION = 3;

const migrations: Migration[] = [
  {
    version: 1,
    name: 'rename_sessions_to_traces',
    up: (db) => {
      db.exec(`
        ALTER TABLE sessions RENAME TO traces;
        ALTER TABLE events RENAME COLUMN session_id TO trace_id;
      `);
    },
  },
  {
    version: 2,
    name: 'add_shared_visibility',
    up: (db) => {
      db.exec('ALTER TABLE traces ADD COLUMN shared_visibility TEXT');
    },
  },
  {
    version: 3,
    name: 'add_indexes_state_table',
    up: (db) => {
      db.exec(`
        CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS indexes (
          agent_id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
          cursor_json TEXT,
          last_scan_at INTEGER,
          last_error TEXT
        )
      `);
    },
  },
];
```

Migrations run automatically when the database opens:
1. Check `PRAGMA user_version`
2. Run any migrations with version > current
3. Each migration runs in a transaction (rollback on failure)
4. Update `user_version` after each successful migration

### Adding a new migration

1. Increment `CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION`
2. Add migration object to the `migrations` array
3. Test with a fresh database AND an existing database

```typescript
{
  version: 4,
  name: 'add_new_column',
  up: (db: Database) => {
    db.exec('ALTER TABLE traces ADD COLUMN new_field TEXT');
  },
}
```

### Testing migrations

```bash
cd cli && bun test src/core/migrations.test.ts
```

Tests verify:
- Fresh databases start at version 0
- Migrations run in order
- `runMigrations()` is idempotent
- Failures roll back cleanly

```

223: Notes:
224: - `traces setup` currently maps to `traces setup skills`.
225: - `traces setup --agent ...` accepts one or more space-separated agent IDs until the next flag.
226: 
227: ### Transfer
228: 
229: Use `transfer` to move a trace between namespaces:
230: 
231: ```bash
232: traces transfer tr_123 --to @acme
233: ```
234: 
235: Notes:
236: 
237: - You must be the trace creator and a member of the target namespace.
238: - `transfer` now uses strict parsing too, so malformed invocations fail before any network request is made.
239: 
240: ### Troubleshooting
241: 
242: **Database corruption**: If the TUI shows errors or traces don't load correctly, run:
243: ```bash
244: traces reset
245: ```
246: This deletes the local SQLite database and forces a full resync on next launch.
247: 
248: **Diagnose issues**: Run the doctor command to check installation, database, network, and auth:
249: ```bash
250: traces doctor
251: ```
252: 
253: **Check current status**: View database size, trace count, and auth status:
254: ```bash
255: traces status
256: ```
257: 
258: **Debug logging**: Pass `--debug <path>` to write a timestamped log of internal events (keypresses, state changes, errors). The flag can appear anywhere in the command and works with all subcommands:
259: ```bash
260: traces --debug /tmp/traces-debug.log
261: traces share --trace-id abc123 --debug /tmp/share-debug.log

90: 2. an explicit bearer token via `--key TOKEN`
91: 3. a default bearer token via `TRACES_API_KEY`

114: 1. explicit selectors such as `--trace-id` or `--source-path`

121: 
122: ```bash
123: traces share --list --cwd "$PWD" --agent codex --json
124: traces share --trace-id <selected-id> --json
125: ```
126: 
127: This is the most reliable fallback in headless environments where hooks or runtime env hints are unavailable.
128: 
129: ### Argument Validation and Automation
130: 
131: The CLI now fails fast on invalid invocations for the first automation-facing slice:
132: 
133: - `traces share`
134: - `traces list`
135: - `traces setup`
136: - `traces remove skills`
137: - `traces transfer`
138: 
139: For these commands, the parser rejects:
140: 
141: - unknown flags
142: - missing option values
143: - unexpected extra positional arguments
144: 
145: Invalid usage exits with code `2`.
146: 
147: When `--json` is supported on the command (`share`, `list`, `setup`, `remove skills`), parse failures emit a machine-readable error envelope to stderr:
148: 
149: ```json
150: {"ok":false,"error":{"code":"INVALID_ARGUMENTS","message":"Unknown option `--jsno`. Did you mean `--json`?\nUsage: traces share [--trace-id ID | --source-path PATH | --cwd DIR] [--agent ID] [--visibility MODE] [--key TOKEN] [--json] [--follow] [--list]"}}
151: ```
152: 
153: Human-readable mode prints the same actionable message without JSON:
154: 
155: ```text
156: Unknown option `--jsno`. Did you mean `--json`?
157: Usage: traces share [--trace-id ID | --source-path PATH | --cwd DIR] [--agent ID] [--visibility MODE] [--key TOKEN] [--json] [--follow] [--list]
158: ```
159: 
160: This is intentional: agent typos should fail loudly instead of silently changing behavior.
161: 
162: ### Setup, Removal, and Git Hooks
163: 
164: Use these commands to manage Traces skills and git hook integration:
165: 
166: ```bash
167: # Install skills in the current project
168: traces setup
169:

commit ced87b03753dda6ccde23167685091df85901c94
Author: Tarun Sachdeva <[REDACTED]>

    docs: update CLI hardening guidance
    
    Document the new strict parsing behavior, current auth and git hook flows, and the status of the first agent-hardening slice so the CLI reference matches the branch behavior. Keep the rollout plan in sync with what has already shipped in this PR.

 `unpin` only removes `.tracesrc` from the current directory, not from parent directories.
 
-### Skills setup and removal
+### Authentication
 
-Use these commands to manage Traces skills integration:
+Authenticated commands support three auth paths:
+
+1. stored credentials from `traces login`
+2. an explicit bearer token via `--key TOKEN`
+3. a default bearer token via `TRACES_API_KEY`
+
+`--key` is global, so it works with all API-backed commands, not just `share`.
+
+Examples:
+
+```bash
+traces --key <trk_...> namespace list
+traces --key <trk_...> whoami
+TRACES_API_KEY=[REDACTED] traces status
+TRACES_API_KEY=[REDACTED] traces share --cwd "$PWD" --agent codex --json
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- API keys are namespace-scoped.
+- `namespace use` cannot switch an API key into another namespace.
+- Use a key issued for the target namespace, or use `traces login` if you need interactive namespace switching.
+
+### Argument Validation and Automation
+
+The CLI now fails fast on invalid invocations for the first automation-facing slice:
+
+- `traces share`
+- `traces list`
+- `traces setup`
+- `traces remove skills`
+- `traces transfer`
+
+For these commands, the parser rejects:
+
+- unknown flags
+- missing option values
+- unexpected extra positional arguments
+
+Invalid usage exits with code `2`.
+
+When `--json` is supported on the command (`share`, `list`, `setup`, `remove skills`), parse failures emit a machine-readable error envelope to stderr:
+
+```json
+{"ok":false,"error":{"code":"INVALID_ARGUMENTS","message":"Unknown option `--jsno`. Did you mean `--json`?\nUsage: traces share [--trace-id ID | --source-path PATH | --cwd DIR] [--agent ID] [--visibility MODE] [--key TOKEN] [--json] [--follow] [--list]"}}
+```
+
+Human-readable mode prints the same actionable message without JSON:
+
+```text
+Unknown option `--jsno`. Did you mean `--json`?
+Usage: traces share [--trace-id ID | --source-path PATH | --cwd DIR] [--agent ID] [--visibility MODE] [--key TOKEN] [--json] [--follow] [--list]
+```
+
+This is intentional: agent typos should fail loudly instead of silently changing behavior.
+
+### Setup, Removal, and Git Hooks
+
+Use these commands to manage Traces skills and git hook integration:
 
 ```bash
 # Install skills in the current project

 Notes:
 - `traces setup` currently maps to `traces setup skills`.
-- `traces setup git` and `traces remove git` are reserved but not yet available.
+- `traces setup --agent ...` accepts one or more space-separated agent IDs until the next flag.
+
+### Transfer
+
+Use `transfer` to move a trace between namespaces:
+
+```bash
+traces transfer tr_123 --to @acme
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- You must be the trace creator and a member of the target namespace.
+- `transfer` now uses strict parsing too, so malformed invocations fail before any network request is made.

+## Current Status

+
+- Added a shared strict parser foundation in `cli/src/commands/strict-parser.ts`.

+
+- per-command `--help` and richer examples
+- broader `--json` coverage across the rest of the automation surface

Rebased the branch onto `origin/main` and force-pushed the PR branch.

- Branch now sits on top of `23e8c7e3` (`origin/main`)
- Updated PR branch: `feat/cli-agent-hardening`
- Force-pushed with `--force-with-lease`, so the PR should be conflict-free now
- I resolved the rebase conflict in `docs/cli.md` by keeping both sets of docs updates: the newer auth/share-discovery notes from `main` and this PR’s strict parsing / `transfer` / git hook docs
- Latest branch tip: `1bee48ac` (`docs: remove extra CLI hardening plan`)

I didn’t rerun tests since the only rebase conflict was in docs.

Yes — this is PR `#588`.

- URL: `https://github.com/market-dot-dev/traces/pull/588`

I rebased and force-pushed that PR branch.

## User

Can you read this tweet: https://x.com/ericzakariasson/status/2036762680401223946

Can you take a look at our CLI and based on some of the recommendations in the article, make some recommendations on how to harden our CLI to be more agent friendly.

3: ## Stack
4: - Bun runtime
5: - OpenTUI + Solid.js (Terminal UI)
6: - SQLite (local storage)
7: - better-sqlite3
8: 
9: ### OpenTUI Reference
10: 
11: Primitives: `box`, `text`, `span`, `scrollbox`, `input`, `select`, `code`, `textarea`, `markdown`, `tab_select`, `ascii_font`
12: 
13: Hooks: `useKeyboard()`, `useTerminalDimensions()`, `useRenderer()`, `onResize()`, `usePaste()`, `useSelectionHandler()`, `useTimeline()`
14: 
15: Focus: `focusable` property, `focus()`, `blur()`, `FOCUSED`/`BLURRED` events
16: 
17: ## Commands
18: 
19: | Command | Description |
20: |---------|-------------|
21: | `bun install` | Install deps |
22: | `bun run dev` | Dev with local backend |
23: | `bun run prod` | Dev with prod backend |
24: | `bun test` | Run tests |
25: | `bun run reset:dev` | Reset dev environment |
26: 
27: ## Architecture
28: 
29: ```
30: TUI -> SessionController -> Session -> Adapters -> Storage
31: ```
32: 
33: - MUST: TUI only calls SessionController
34: - MUST: Only SessionController accesses adapters
35: - MUST: EventStore for metadata + sync cache only
36: - NEVER: Read adapters from TUI directly
37: - NEVER: Use EventStore for detail view content
38: 
39: Reference: `docs/cli.md` for full architecture
40: 
41: ## File Structure
42: 
43: ```
44: cli/src/
45: ├── tui/           # OpenTUI + Solid.js TUI
46: ├── core/          # Session, Controller, Migrations
47: ├── adapters/      # Agent adapters (claude-code, cursor, etc.)
48: ├── services/      # API client, clipboard, updates
49: └── types.ts       # CLI-specific types
50: ```
51: 
52: ## Events vs Messages
53: 
54: - CLI uses events internally (flat, event-sourced)
55: - API uses messages + parts (relational)
56: - Transform happens at sync boundary (`src/services/api.ts`)
57: 
58: ```
59: CLI (events) -> transform() -> API (messages+parts)
60: ```
61: 
62: ## SQLite Migrations
63: 
64: - Schema version: `PRAGMA user_version`
65: - Migrations in `src/core/migrations.ts`
66: - Each migration runs in transaction
67: 
68: ```typescript
69: {
70:   version: 2,
71:   name: 'add_new_column',
72:   up: (db: Database) => {
73:     db.exec('ALTER TABLE traces ADD COLUMN new_field TEXT');
74:   },
75: }
76: ```
77: 
78: ## Adding New Agent Adapters
79: 
80: Reference: `docs/adding-agents.md`
81: 
82: 1. Add agent ID to `@traces/shared` and `cli/src/types.ts`
83: 2. Create adapter in `cli/src/adapters/<agent>/v1.ts`
84: 3. Register in `cli/src/adapters/index.ts`
85: 
86: ### Adapter Test Fixtures
87: 
88: - Fixtures MUST track real-world formats as they evolve, otherwise adapter tests can be green but stale.
89: - Use versioned, minimal golden fixtures per adapter (normal + edge cases) and update them when upstream formats change.
90: - Keep fixtures sanitized and small, but representative: tool calls/results, reasoning, malformed lines, empty sessions, and timestamp/order quirks.
91: - When a production adapter bug is found, add the exact anonymized sample as a regression fixture before fixing code.
92: - Periodically refresh fixtures from current agent versions to avoid fixture drift.
93: 
94: ## Memory Management
95: 
96: The CLI runs as a long-lived TUI process. These rules prevent unbounded memory growth:
97: 
98: - MUST: Override `count()` on every adapter — default loads full trace content
99: - MUST: Use `lastEventCount` integer, not `Set<string>` seenEventIds in `subscribe()`
100: - MUST: Check file mtime before expensive re-reads in polling subscriptions
101: - MUST: Call `closeDetailView()` (not manual state resets) when leaving detail view
102: - MUST: Bound any in-memory caches (Maps, Sets) with LRU eviction
103: - NEVER: Store raw request/response body objects in history — truncate to string
104: - NEVER: Copy forward stale Map entries across refresh cycles without pruning
105: 
106: ### Monitoring
107: 
108: - Memory gauges emitted to Sentry every 60s: `cli.memory.rss_mb`, `cli.memory.heap_used_mb`, `cli.memory.growth_rate_mb_per_min`
109: - Sentry warnings at 512MB RSS (`cli.memory_warning`) and 1GB (`cli.memory_critical`)
110: - Diagnostics overlay (Ctrl+D) shows memory snapshot
111: 
112: Reference: See PR #236 for the full memory leak investigation and fixes.

59: ```
60: 
61: ### Per-directory namespace (`.tracesrc`)
62: 
63: Place a `.tracesrc` file in a project directory to automatically switch namespace when running CLI commands from that directory. The CLI walks up from the working directory to find the nearest one.
64: 
65: ```
66: namespace = @acme
67: ```
68: 
69: When the CLI starts, if the `.tracesrc` namespace differs from the active one, it switches automatically. Unknown or inaccessible namespaces are silently ignored, so this file is safe to commit to shared repos.
70: 
71: To create or remove the file:
72: 
73: ```bash
74: traces namespace pin @acme    # writes .tracesrc in current directory
75: traces namespace pin           # pins the currently active namespace
76: traces namespace unpin         # removes .tracesrc from current directory
77: ```
78: 
79: `unpin` only removes `.tracesrc` from the current directory, not from parent directories.
80: 
81: ### Authentication
82: 
83: Authenticated CLI commands now support three auth paths:
84: 
85: 1. stored credentials from `traces login`
86: 2. an explicit bearer token via `--key TOKEN`
87: 3. a default bearer token via `TRACES_API_KEY`
88: 
89: `--key` is global, so it works with any authenticated command, not just `share`.
90: That includes `status`, `whoami`, `namespace list`, `doctor`, `transfer`, and
91: other API-backed flows.
92: 
93: Examples:
94: 
95: ```bash
96: traces --key <trk_...> namespace list
97: traces --key <trk_...> whoami
98: TRACES_API_KEY=[REDACTED] traces status
99: TRACES_API_KEY=[REDACTED] traces share --cwd "$PWD" --agent codex --json
100: ```
101: 
102: Notes:
103: 
104: - API keys are namespace-scoped.
105: - `namespace use` cannot switch an API key into another namespace.
106: - Use a key issued for the target namespace, or use `traces login` if you need
107:   interactive namespace switching.
108: 
109: ### Share discovery and fallback
110: 
111: When `traces share` needs to resolve the active trace from `--cwd`, it uses the
112: strongest available hint first:
113: 
114: 1. explicit selectors such as `--trace-id` or `--source-path`
115: 2. exact current-session env hints like `TRACES_CURRENT_TRACE_ID` and `TRACES_CURRENT_SOURCE_PATH`
116: 3. adapter hints from `getCurrentTraceHint()` (for example, Codex can use `CODEX_SESSION_ID` when it is available to child processes)
117: 4. directory matching for the newest trace in `--cwd`
118: 5. agent-latest fallback if no stronger match exists
119: 
120: If multiple sessions are active and no exact hint is available, use discovery
121: mode to pick the trace explicitly:
122: 
123: ```bash
124: traces share --list --cwd "$PWD" --agent codex --json
125: traces share --trace-id <selected-id> --json
126: ```
127: 
128: This is the most reliable fallback in headless environments where hooks or
129: runtime env hints are unavailable.
130: 
131: ### Skills setup and removal
132: 
133: Use these commands to manage Traces skills integration:
134: 
135: ```bash
136: # Install skills in the current project
137: traces setup
138: 
139: # Equivalent explicit target
140: traces setup skills
141: 
142: # Install for specific agents only
143: traces setup skills --agent codex,cursor
144: 
145: # Remove skills from the current project
146: traces remove skills
147: 
148: # Remove globally from your home directory
149: traces remove skills --global
150: ```
151: 
152: Notes:
153: - `traces setup` currently maps to `traces setup skills`.
154: - `traces setup git` and `traces remove git` are reserved but not yet available.
155: 
156: ### Troubleshooting
157: 
158: **Database corruption**: If the TUI shows errors or traces don't load correctly, run:
159: ```bash
160: traces reset
161: ```
162: This deletes the local SQLite database and forces a full resync on next launch.
163: 
164: **Diagnose issues**: Run the doctor command to check installation, database, network, and auth:
165: ```bash
166: traces doctor
167: ```
168: 
169: **Check current status**: View database size, trace count, and auth status:
170: ```bash
171: traces status
172: ```
173: 
174: **Debug logging**: Pass `--debug <path>` to write a timestamped log of internal events (keypresses, state changes, errors). The flag can appear anywhere in the command and works with all subcommands:
175: ```bash
176: traces --debug /tmp/traces-debug.log
177: traces share --trace-id abc123 --debug /tmp/share-debug.log
178: ```
179:

226: ```
227: 
228: ## Roles and boundaries
229: 
230: **TUI (View)**
231: - Only calls methods on `TraceController`.
232: - Never reads adapters directly.
233: - Never touches EventStore for detail view data.
234: 
235: **TraceController (Controller)**
236: - Single entry point for UI actions.
237: - Merges adapter traces with EventStore metadata.
238: - Creates `Trace` models for content reads.
239: - Owns subscription lifecycle for live updates.
240: 
241: **Trace (Model)**
242: - Wraps adapter + store for a single trace.
243: - `getContent()` delegates to adapter.
244: - Stores metadata changes in EventStore when needed.
245: 
246: **Adapters (Data source)**
247: - Parse agent storage into `TraceContent` + `TraceEvent`.
248: - Provide live updates via `subscribe()`.
249: - No persistence responsibilities.
250: 
251: **EventStore (Persistence)**
252: - Stores trace metadata + shared state.
253: - Acts as a sync cache for shared traces only.
254: - Not used for detail view content.
255: 
256: **TraceIndexer (Discovery)**
257: - Background service for incremental trace discovery.
258: - Uses cursor-based scanning to avoid redundant work.
259: - Stores index state in the `indexes` SQLite table per adapter.
260: - Supports history-first discovery (scan from tail of JSONL files).
261: 
262: **Services**
263: - API client, clipboard, updates, request history.
264: - Called by the controller or TUI when needed.
265: 
266: ## Rules of access
267: 
268: - **TUI never calls adapters directly.**
269: - **Only TraceController may access adapters.**
270: - EventStore is for **metadata + sync cache**, not UI detail rendering.
271: 
272: ## Empty Session Guards
273: 
274: Sessions can end up with 0 events for legitimate reasons (e.g. JSONL files containing only metadata entries like `summary` or `file-history-snapshot`). To prevent these from being shared as empty traces, guards exist at three layers:
275: 
276: | Layer | File | Behavior |
277: |-------|------|----------|
278: | **TUI** | `src/tui/hooks/useAppState.ts` | Shows user-friendly error before share attempt; retries hydration up to 3 times in case the adapter hasn't finished parsing |
279: | **Controller** | `src/core/trace-controller.ts` | `performShare` rejects with a structured error if content has 0 events after adapter returns |
280: | **API client** | `src/services/api.ts` | `backfillTrace` bails early with a warning if the transformed message list is empty, preventing a server round-trip |
281: 
282: These guards are defense-in-depth -- any single layer is sufficient to prevent an empty trace from reaching the server. Adapters do **not** need to implement their own empty-session guard; they should parse honestly and populate the `ParseDiagnostics` object passed by `BaseAdapter.getTraceContent()` to report what was skipped or unrecognized. Diagnostics are emitted to Sentry structured logs (`cli.adapter.empty_parse`, `cli.adapter.unhandled_types`).
283: 
284: See `docs/adding-agents.md` "Parse Diagnostics" section for adapter-level guidance.
285: 
286: ## Remote Config
287: 
288: The CLI fetches remote configuration from `${TRACES_URL}/config.json` on startup. This allows server-side overrides without CLI updates:
289: 
290: | Key | Default | Description |
291: |-----|---------|-------------|
292: | `sessionListLimit` | 200 | Max traces shown in TUI |
293: | `largeSessionWarningThreshold` | 10000 | Warn before sharing large traces |
294: | `readOnlyMode` | false | Disable all write operations |
295: | `maxEventBytes` | 524288 | Max bytes per single event upload |
296: | `maxBatchBytes` | 4194304 | Max bytes per batch upload |
297: | `maxBatchItems` | 50 | Max messages per batch |
298: 
299: ## Credentials storage
300: 
301: The CLI stores credentials in the OS config directory (XDG on Linux, Application Support on macOS, AppData on Windows).
302: Credential files are **per server URL** and saved as `credentials-<hash>.json` alongside `device.json`.
303: 
304: ## Events vs Messages
305: 
306: **CLI uses events internally, API uses messages+parts.**
307: 
308: ```
309: CLI (events)  ->  transform()  ->  API (messages+parts)
310:                       ^
311:                uses @traces/shared types
312: ```
313: 
314: | Layer | Internal Model | Tables |
315: |-------|---------------|--------|
316: | CLI | Event-sourced (flat) | `traces`, `events`, `indexes` |
317: | API | Relational (grouped) | `traces`, `messages`, `parts` |
318: 
319: **Why CLI uses events:**
320: - Events match how adapters parse trace files (line by line)
321: - Flat event stream preserves exact order/timing
322: - Transformation to messages is simple and happens at sync boundary
323: - High migration cost for low benefit if we changed CLI schema
324: 
325: **CLI event types** (`src/types.ts`):
326: - `user_message`, `agent_text`, `agent_thinking`
327: - `tool_call`, `tool_result`, `error`
328: 
329: **Sync boundary:**
330: - CLI transforms events -> messages when calling API
331: - Uses `@traces/shared` types (`Message`, `Part`, `PartType`)
332: - Transform logic lives in `src/services/api.ts`
333: - Oversized events (>512KB) are truncated before upload
334: - Events are scrubbed for secrets via `src/services/scrub-secrets.ts`
335: 
336: ## SQLite Migrations
337: 
338: The CLI uses SQLite for local storage with `PRAGMA user_version` for schema versioning.
339: 
340: ### How it works
341: 
342: ```typescript
343: // cli/src/core/migrations.ts
344: export const CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION = 3;
345: 
346: const migrations: Migration[] = [
347:   {
348:     version: 1,
349:     name: 'rename_sessions_to_traces',
350:     up: (db) => {
351:       db.exec(`
352:         ALTER TABLE sessions RENAME TO traces;
353:         ALTER TABLE events RENAME COLUMN session_id TO trace_id;
354:       `);
355:     },
356:   },
357:   {
358:     version: 2,
359:     name: 'add_shared_visibility',
360:     up: (db) => {
361:       db.exec('ALTER TABLE traces ADD COLUMN shared_visibility TEXT');
362:     },
363:   },
364:   {
365:     version: 3,
366:     name: 'add_indexes_state_table',
367:     up: (db) => {
368:       db.exec(`
369:         CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS indexes (
370:           agent_id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
371:           cursor_json TEXT,
372:           last_scan_at INTEGER,
373:           last_error TEXT
374:         )
375:       `);
376:     },
377:   },
378: ];
379: ```
380: 
381: Migrations run automatically when the database opens:
382: 1. Check `PRAGMA user_version`
383: 2. Run any migrations with version > current
384: 3. Each migration runs in a transaction (rollback on failure)
385: 4. Update `user_version` after each successful migration
386: 
387: ### Adding a new migration
388: 
389: 1. Increment `CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION`
390: 2. Add migration object to the `migrations` array
391: 3. Test with a fresh database AND an existing database
392: 
393: ```typescript
394: {
395:   version: 4,
396:   name: 'add_new_column',
397:   up: (db: Database) => {
398:     db.exec('ALTER TABLE traces ADD COLUMN new_field TEXT');
399:   },
400: }
401: ```
402: 
403: ### Testing migrations
404: 
405: ```bash
406: cd cli && bun test src/core/migrations.test.ts
407: ```
408: 
409: Tests verify:
410: - Fresh databases start at version 0
411: - Migrations run in order
412: - `runMigrations()` is idempotent
413: - Failures roll back cleanly

<task_result>
I recovered the article content from public mirrors even though the direct X article page was blocked.

- Title: `Building CLIs for agents`

- Main recommendations:
  - Make the CLI fully non-interactive; every required input should be available as flags, with prompts only as fallback.
  - Keep help discoverable and local; let agents ask for `subcommand --help` instead of dumping all docs at once.
  - Make `--help` genuinely useful by including concrete examples for each subcommand.
  - Accept both flags and `stdin` broadly so agents can compose commands in pipelines.
  - Fail fast with actionable errors that show the correct invocation and likely next step.
  - Make commands idempotent so retries do not create duplicate side effects.
  - Add `--dry-run` for destructive actions so agents can preview plans safely.
  - Support `--yes` or `--force` to skip confirmations when the caller is confident.
  - Use predictable command naming patterns so agents can infer related commands.
  - Return structured, useful success output like IDs, URLs, and durations instead of decorative text.

- Uncertainty / missing context:
  - The direct article URL `https://x.com/i/article/2036387800119975936` did not expose the article body publicly; it only showed an unsupported/login-style page.
  - I reconstructed the content from the public tweet syndication endpoint and a public mirror of the tweet, which contained what appears to be the full article text.
  - I can’t fully verify whether the X article had extra formatting, edits, or metadata beyond the recovered text, but the substantive recommendations look complete.

110: 
111: When `traces share` needs to resolve the active trace from `--cwd`, it uses the
112: strongest available hint first:
113: 
114: 1. explicit selectors such as `--trace-id` or `--source-path`
115: 2. exact current-session env hints like `TRACES_CURRENT_TRACE_ID` and `TRACES_CURRENT_SOURCE_PATH`
116: 3. adapter hints from `getCurrentTraceHint()` (for example, Codex can use `CODEX_SESSION_ID` when it is available to child processes)
117: 4. directory matching for the newest trace in `--cwd`
118: 5. agent-latest fallback if no stronger match exists
119: 
120: If multiple sessions are active and no exact hint is available, use discovery
121: mode to pick the trace explicitly:
122: 
123: ```bash
124: traces share --list --cwd "$PWD" --agent codex --json
125: traces share --trace-id <selected-id> --json

82: 
83: Authenticated CLI commands now support three auth paths:
84: 
85: 1. stored credentials from `traces login`
86: 2. an explicit bearer token via `--key TOKEN`
87: 3. a default bearer token via `TRACES_API_KEY`
88: 
89: `--key` is global, so it works with any authenticated command, not just `share`.
90: That includes `status`, `whoami`, `namespace list`, `doctor`, `transfer`, and
91: other API-backed flows.
92: 
93: Examples:
94: 
95: ```bash
96: traces --key <trk_...> namespace list
97: traces --key <trk_...> whoami
98: TRACES_API_KEY=[REDACTED] traces status

100: ```
101: 
102: Notes:
103: 
104: - API keys are namespace-scoped.
105: - `namespace use` cannot switch an API key into another namespace.
106: - Use a key issued for the target namespace, or use `traces login` if you need

I couldn’t read the X page directly, but I recovered the linked article from a public mirror. The title was `Building CLIs for agents`, and the main themes were: make commands fully non-interactive, make `--help` locally discoverable and example-heavy, accept `stdin`, fail fast with actionable errors, keep mutating commands idempotent, add `--dry-run`, use predictable naming, and return structured output.

**What’s Already Good**
- `share`, `list`, `setup`, and `remove skills` already have solid JSON envelopes with `ok/data/error`, which is a strong base for agent usage: `cli/src/commands/share.ts:721`, `cli/src/commands/list.ts:197`, `cli/src/commands/setup.ts:710`, `cli/src/commands/remove-skills.ts:383`
- `share` already has good headless-discovery ideas: explicit selectors, env hints, and `--list` fallback: `docs/cli.md:111`
- Auth is scriptable via `--key` and `TRACES_API_KEY`, not just browser login: `docs/cli.md:83`
- Setup/remove flows are mostly idempotent, especially for skills and git hook marker insertion/removal: `cli/src/commands/setup.ts:644`, `cli/src/commands/hooks.ts:127`

**Biggest Hardening Gaps**
- Unknown flags are silently ignored, which is the biggest agent footgun here: `cli/src/commands/share-options.ts:3`, `cli/src/commands/list-options.ts:13`, `cli/src/commands/setup-options.ts:3`, `cli/src/commands/remove-skills-options.ts:3`
- Help is mostly top-level only; most subcommands do not have real `--help`, and examples are sparse: `cli/src/index.ts:150`, `cli/src/commands/setup.ts:400`
- JSON output is inconsistent across automation-facing commands like `status`, `doctor`, `whoami`, `namespace`, and `transfer`: `cli/src/commands/status.ts:66`, `cli/src/commands/doctor.ts:319`, `cli/src/commands/whoami.ts:20`, `cli/src/commands/namespace.ts:159`, `cli/src/commands/transfer.ts:5`
- Destructive commands don’t have `--dry-run`, and confirmation behavior is inconsistent: `cli/src/commands/reset.ts:58`, `cli/src/commands/remove-skills.ts:280`, `cli/src/commands/hooks.ts:201`, `cli/src/index.ts:265`
- There’s basically no stdin-based composition path for IDs/selectors; stdin is used for prompts, not machine input: `cli/src/commands/reset.ts:44`

**Recommended Order**
1. Make argument parsing strict and fail-fast. Unknown flags should return `INVALID_ARGUMENTS` with a suggestion like “did you mean `--cwd`?”. Right now an agent typo can silently do the wrong thing.
2. Add real `traces <command> --help` for every nontrivial command, with 2–4 concrete examples each. `setup --help` is the right direction; apply it everywhere.
3. Add `--json` to every automation-relevant command and standardize on one contract: payload on stdout, diagnostics on stderr, stable `ok/data/error.code/error.message`.
4. Add a global `--non-interactive` mode. In that mode, any prompt should become a structured error telling the caller which flags are required instead.
5. Add `--dry-run` to all mutating/destructive commands: `reset`, `remove skills`, `remove git`, `setup git`, `transfer`, and `uninstall`.
6. Add stdin support for common pipelines, e.g. `--trace-id -`, `--to -`, or a shared `--input json` mode.
7. Normalize naming and aliases. `share --cwd` vs `list --dir` is harder for agents to infer than it needs to be; same with `--key` vs a clearer alias like `--api-key`.
8. Publish a small exit-code contract and use it everywhere. You already use `2` for invalid args in some commands; make that universal.

If I were prioritizing purely for agent-friendliness, I’d do these first:
1. strict flag parsing
2. per-command help with examples
3. JSON everywhere

If you want, I can turn this into a concrete implementation plan for `cli/` with command-by-command changes and suggested output schemas.

## User

argument parsing strict < what does this mean? give example

## Assistant

## Assistant

## Assistant

Strict argument parsing means: if the caller passes anything invalid, the CLI errors immediately instead of silently ignoring it.

Right now some of your parsers are permissive. For example, `cli/src/commands/share-options.ts:3` and `cli/src/commands/list-options.ts:13` skip unknown flags, and you even test for that in `cli/src/commands/share-options.test.ts:93`.

Concrete example:

Current behavior:
```bash
traces share --trace-id trace-123 --jsno
```

What happens now:
- `--jsno` is ignored
- command still runs
- agent thinks it asked for machine-readable output, but gets human text instead

Strict behavior:
```text
Error: Unknown option `--jsno`. Did you mean `--json`?
Run `traces share --help` for examples.
exit code: 2
```

Why this matters for agents:
- agents typo flags
- agents infer flags that “should exist”
- silent ignore turns a clear mistake into wrong behavior

A few more examples of “strict”:

- Unknown flag
```bash
traces remove skills --yees
```
- permissive: ignores typo, may open an interactive confirm prompt and hang automation
- strict: `Unknown option --yees. Did you mean --yes?`

- Missing value
```bash
traces share --trace-id
```
- strict: `Missing value for --trace-id`

- Invalid enum
```bash
traces share --trace-id t1 --visibility friends
```
- strict: `Invalid value for --visibility. Use public, direct, or private.`

- Extra positional args
```bash
traces transfer trace-123 extra --to team
```
- strict: `Unexpected argument extra`

You already do some strict validation later in `cli/src/commands/share.ts:467` for things like invalid `--visibility` or conflicting selectors. My recommendation was to push that strictness down into the parsing layer too, especially for unknown flags and missing values.

If you want, I can sketch what a stricter parser API would look like for `share`, `list`, and `remove skills`.

## User

okay i like all your recommendations. 6 and 7 might break existsing clients so backcompat is required. 

## Assistant

## Assistant

Yep — I’d treat `6` and `7` as additive, not replacements.

- `stdin` support: keep current flags exactly as-is, and only read stdin when the caller opts in explicitly
- Good backcompat pattern:
  - `traces share --trace-id -` -> read one trace id from stdin
  - `traces transfer --to team --trace-id -` -> read id from stdin
  - or `--from-stdin` / `--input json` as new opt-in flags
- Avoid auto-reading piped stdin just because input exists; that’s what usually breaks existing scripts

- Naming normalization: add aliases, keep current names canonical internally
- Good backcompat pattern:
  - keep `--cwd`, add `--dir` as alias for `share`
  - keep `--dir`, add `--cwd` as alias for `list`
  - keep `--key`, add `--api-key` and maybe `--token` as aliases
- Parse all aliases into the same internal field, and keep existing docs/examples working

A safe rollout would be:

1. Add aliases and opt-in stdin paths
2. Keep old flags fully supported
3. Show canonical names in `--help`
4. Optionally add soft deprecation notices later, but only in human mode and not in `--json`

Example of strict + backcompat together:
```bash
traces share --trace-id t1 --api-key abc
```

This should work because `--api-key` is an alias for `--key`.

But this should fail:
```bash
traces share --trace-id t1 --api_keey abc
```

with:
```text
Unknown option `--api_keey`. Did you mean `--api-key` or `--key`?
```

That gives you stricter agent behavior without breaking existing clients.

If you want, I can turn the recommendations into:
1. a compatibility-safe implementation plan, or
2. the actual CLI changes, starting with the lowest-risk ones.

# Git Worktree Management

Manage parallel development branches via git worktrees. Each worktree gets symlinked `.env.local` files and installed dependencies so it's immediately runnable.

## Directory Layout

```
/Users/.../src/
├── traces/                    # main worktree (always on main)
└── traces-worktrees/          # sibling directory
    ├── feat-my-feature/       # sanitized branch name as dir
    ├── fix-cors-urls/
    └── ...
```

Branch names are sanitized for directories: `feat/my-feature` -> `feat-my-feature`.

## Create a Worktree

```bash
# Existing branch
scripts/new-worktree.sh fix/cors-vercel-preview-urls

# New branch from current HEAD
scripts/new-worktree.sh feat/my-feature --new
```

Or via package.json:
```bash
bun run worktree:new fix/cors-vercel-preview-urls
bun run worktree:new feat/my-feature -- --new
```

The script:
1. Runs `git worktree add` with the branch
2. Symlinks `.env.local` files from main worktree (`api/`, `cli/`, `frontend/`)
3. Runs `bun install`

## Remove a Worktree

```bash
scripts/remove-worktree.sh feat-my-feature
```

Use the sanitized directory name (dashes, not slashes).

## List Worktrees

```bash
git worktree list
```

## Env Files Symlinked

| File | Source |
|------|--------|
| `api/.env.local` | Convex admin key, backend config |
| `cli/.env.local` | CLI localhost URLs |
| `frontend/.env.local` | Frontend Convex URLs |

Symlinks use absolute paths to the main worktree. Changes to env files in main are reflected everywhere.

## Constraints

- NEVER: Check out the same branch in two worktrees simultaneously (git prevents this)
- MUST: Remove worktrees via `scripts/remove-worktree.sh` or `git worktree remove` (don't just `rm -rf`)
- MUST: Run from the main worktree (`traces/`) when creating or removing worktrees
- SHOULD: Run `git worktree list` to check active worktrees before creating new ones

Instructions from: /Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces-worktrees/feat-cli-agent-hardening/cli/AGENTS.md
# CLI Agent Instructions

## Stack
- Bun runtime
- OpenTUI + Solid.js (Terminal UI)
- SQLite (local storage)
- better-sqlite3

### OpenTUI Reference

Primitives: `box`, `text`, `span`, `scrollbox`, `input`, `select`, `code`, `textarea`, `markdown`, `tab_select`, `ascii_font`

Hooks: `useKeyboard()`, `useTerminalDimensions()`, `useRenderer()`, `onResize()`, `usePaste()`, `useSelectionHandler()`, `useTimeline()`

Focus: `focusable` property, `focus()`, `blur()`, `FOCUSED`/`BLURRED` events

## Commands

| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `bun install` | Install deps |
| `bun run dev` | Dev with local backend |
| `bun run prod` | Dev with prod backend |
| `bun test` | Run tests |
| `bun run reset:dev` | Reset dev environment |

## Architecture

```
TUI -> SessionController -> Session -> Adapters -> Storage
```

- MUST: TUI only calls SessionController
- MUST: Only SessionController accesses adapters
- MUST: EventStore for metadata + sync cache only
- NEVER: Read adapters from TUI directly
- NEVER: Use EventStore for detail view content

Reference: `docs/cli.md` for full architecture

## File Structure

```
cli/src/
├── tui/           # OpenTUI + Solid.js TUI
├── core/          # Session, Controller, Migrations
├── adapters/      # Agent adapters (claude-code, cursor, etc.)
├── services/      # API client, clipboard, updates
└── types.ts       # CLI-specific types
```

## Events vs Messages

- CLI uses events internally (flat, event-sourced)
- API uses messages + parts (relational)
- Transform happens at sync boundary (`src/services/api.ts`)

```
CLI (events) -> transform() -> API (messages+parts)
```

## SQLite Migrations

- Schema version: `PRAGMA user_version`
- Migrations in `src/core/migrations.ts`
- Each migration runs in transaction

```typescript
{
  version: 2,
  name: 'add_new_column',
  up: (db: Database) => {
    db.exec('ALTER TABLE traces ADD COLUMN new_field TEXT');
  },
}
```

## Adding New Agent Adapters

Reference: `docs/adding-agents.md`

1. Add agent ID to `@traces/shared` and `cli/src/types.ts`
2. Create adapter in `cli/src/adapters/<agent>/v1.ts`
3. Register in `cli/src/adapters/index.ts`

### Adapter Test Fixtures

- Fixtures MUST track real-world formats as they evolve, otherwise adapter tests can be green but stale.
- Use versioned, minimal golden fixtures per adapter (normal + edge cases) and update them when upstream formats change.
- Keep fixtures sanitized and small, but representative: tool calls/results, reasoning, malformed lines, empty sessions, and timestamp/order quirks.
- When a production adapter bug is found, add the exact anonymized sample as a regression fixture before fixing code.
- Periodically refresh fixtures from current agent versions to avoid fixture drift.

## Memory Management

The CLI runs as a long-lived TUI process. These rules prevent unbounded memory growth:

- MUST: Override `count()` on every adapter — default loads full trace content
- MUST: Use `lastEventCount` integer, not `Set<string>` seenEventIds in `subscribe()`
- MUST: Check file mtime before expensive re-reads in polling subscriptions
- MUST: Call `closeDetailView()` (not manual state resets) when leaving detail view
- MUST: Bound any in-memory caches (Maps, Sets) with LRU eviction
- NEVER: Store raw request/response body objects in history — truncate to string
- NEVER: Copy forward stale Map entries across refresh cycles without pruning

### Monitoring

- Memory gauges emitted to Sentry every 60s: `cli.memory.rss_mb`, `cli.memory.heap_used_mb`, `cli.memory.growth_rate_mb_per_min`
- Sentry warnings at 512MB RSS (`cli.memory_warning`) and 1GB (`cli.memory_critical`)
- Diagnostics overlay (Ctrl+D) shows memory snapshot

Reference: See PR #236 for the full memory leak investigation and fixes.

Concise audit of `cli/` for agent-friendliness

1. Current strengths

- Some commands already support structured output well:
  - `share`, `list`, `setup`, `remove skills` return JSON success/error payloads with stable `ok/data/error.code/error.message` shapes.
  - Evidence:
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/share.ts:721-746`
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/list.ts:197-248`
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/setup.ts:710-825`
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/remove-skills.ts:383-447`
- Several errors are actionable, with next steps:
  - TUI fallback suggests `traces list` when no raw TTY is available.
  - Namespace/transfer/whoami/doctor often tell the user what command to run next.
  - Evidence:
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/index.ts:221-230`
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/transfer.ts:10-35`
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/namespace.ts:100-105`
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/doctor.ts:80-86, 176-182, 264-278`
- Good idempotency in mutating setup/hook flows:
  - setup avoids rewriting identical files
  - hook install avoids duplicate marker/refspec insertion
  - uninstall/remove tolerate already-missing files
  - Evidence:
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/setup.ts:284-315`
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/hooks.ts:127-145, 183-187, 223-228`
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/index.ts:272-279`
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/remove-skills.ts:207-217, 395-403`
- Some non-interactive bypasses exist for destructive/interactive flows:
  - `reset --force`
  - `remove skills --yes`
  - `setup --yes`
  - Evidence:
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/index.ts:199-209`
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/reset.ts:88-95`
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/remove-skills.ts:293-304`

2. Gaps / risks

- Help is shallow and inconsistent.
  - Only top-level help and `setup --help` exist; most commands lack dedicated `--help`.
  - No real “Examples” sections.
  - Evidence:
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/index.ts:150-217`
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/setup.ts:400-417`
    - `share/list/transfer/reset/remove-skills` parsers/commands do not implement `--help`:
      - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/share-options.ts:3-52`
      - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/list-options.ts:13-70`
- Unknown flags are silently ignored.
  - This is risky for agents because typos can produce valid-but-wrong behavior.
  - Evidence:
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/share-options.ts:6-52`
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/list-options.ts:16-68`
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/setup-options.ts:6-36`
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/remove-skills-options.ts:6-23`
    - Tests explicitly expect this:
      - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/share-options.test.ts:93-97`
      - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/list-options.test.ts:17-21`
      - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/setup-options.test.ts:81-85`
      - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/remove-skills-options.test.ts:47-51`
- Very limited stdin support.
  - I found no command that accepts piped input for selectors/IDs/config; stdin is only used for prompts/TTY handling.
  - Evidence:
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/reset.ts:44-55`
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/index.ts:221-230`
- Destructive commands lack dry-run support.
  - `reset`, `remove skills`, `remove git`, `uninstall` mutate immediately once confirmed/invoked.
  - Evidence:
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/reset.ts:97-118`
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/remove-skills.ts:312-355`
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/hooks.ts:201-231`
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/index.ts:265-280`
- Confirmation bypass coverage is incomplete/inconsistent.
  - `remove skills` and `reset` have bypass flags; `remove git` and `uninstall` do not have confirm/dry-run symmetry.
  - Evidence:
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/index.ts:117-149, 265-280`
- Naming/filter semantics are not fully predictable.
  - Similar concepts use different names: `share --cwd` vs `list --dir`; auth flag is `--key` rather than `--token`/`--api-key`.
  - Evidence:
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/index.ts:182-197`
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/share-options.ts:18-35`
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/list-options.ts:36-52`
- Structured output is not available across the CLI.
  - Commands like `login`, `logout`, `whoami`, `status`, `doctor`, `namespace`, `transfer`, `setup git`, `remove git`, `uninstall` are human-only.
  - Evidence:
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/login.ts:20-76`
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/status.ts:68-141`
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/doctor.ts:319-370`
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/namespace.ts:9-194`
    - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/transfer.ts:5-63`

3. Most relevant files/functions as evidence

- CLI routing and top-level help:
  - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/index.ts:64-217`
- TTY fallback/actionable error:
  - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/index.ts:221-230`
- Manual option parsing / silent unknown-flag behavior:
  - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/share-options.ts:3-52`
  - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/list-options.ts:13-70`
  - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/setup-options.ts:3-39`
  - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/remove-skills-options.ts:3-26`
- Structured JSON output:
  - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/share.ts:721-746`
  - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/list.ts:197-248`
  - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/setup.ts:710-825`
  - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/remove-skills.ts:383-447`
- Idempotent setup/hooks:
  - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/setup.ts:284-345`
  - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/hooks.ts:127-145, 162-199, 201-231`
- Interactive/destructive confirmation:
  - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/reset.ts:44-118`
  - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/remove-skills.ts:293-304`
- Actionable diagnostics:
  - `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces/cli/src/commands/doctor.ts:56-86, 138-182, 229-278, 319-370`

4. Prioritized recommendations

1. Add per-command `--help` for every nontrivial command, with explicit Examples sections.
2. Stop silently ignoring unknown flags; return `INVALID_ARGUMENTS` and suggest the correct flag/help.
3. Standardize machine-readable output across all automation-relevant commands (`status`, `doctor`, `whoami`, `namespace`, `transfer`, hook install/remove).
4. Add `--dry-run` to destructive commands (`reset`, `remove skills`, `remove git`, `uninstall`, maybe `transfer`).
5. Make destructive commands symmetrical: confirmation by default plus explicit bypass flags (`--yes`/`--force`) everywhere.
6. Add stdin support for common agent workflows, e.g. `traces share --trace-id -`, `traces transfer --to ns < trace-id`, or `--from-stdin --json`.
7. Normalize naming for equivalent concepts (`--cwd` vs `--dir`; `--key` vs `--api-key`/`--token`).
8. Publish a documented exit-code contract for automation (e.g. 0 success, 2 invalid args, 3 auth/config, etc.) and apply it consistently.
9. Consider using a real CLI parser library or a stricter shared parser layer so help, validation, defaults, and completion behavior stay consistent.
10. For JSON mode, document stdout/stderr behavior clearly and keep payload schemas versionable/stable.

Bottom line

The CLI already has solid building blocks for agent use in `share`, `list`, `setup`, and `remove skills`, especially around JSON output, idempotency, and some actionable errors. The biggest agent-friendliness gaps are silent flag ignoring, missing per-command help/examples, lack of stdin support, incomplete dry-run/confirmation patterns, and partial machine-readable coverage.

# CLI Agent Instructions

## Stack
- Bun runtime
- OpenTUI + Solid.js (Terminal UI)
- SQLite (local storage)
- better-sqlite3

### OpenTUI Reference

Primitives: `box`, `text`, `span`, `scrollbox`, `input`, `select`, `code`, `textarea`, `markdown`, `tab_select`, `ascii_font`

Hooks: `useKeyboard()`, `useTerminalDimensions()`, `useRenderer()`, `onResize()`, `usePaste()`, `useSelectionHandler()`, `useTimeline()`

Focus: `focusable` property, `focus()`, `blur()`, `FOCUSED`/`BLURRED` events

## Commands

| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `bun install` | Install deps |
| `bun run dev` | Dev with local backend |
| `bun run prod` | Dev with prod backend |
| `bun test` | Run tests |
| `bun run reset:dev` | Reset dev environment |

## Architecture

```
TUI -> SessionController -> Session -> Adapters -> Storage
```

- MUST: TUI only calls SessionController
- MUST: Only SessionController accesses adapters
- MUST: EventStore for metadata + sync cache only
- NEVER: Read adapters from TUI directly
- NEVER: Use EventStore for detail view content

Reference: `docs/cli.md` for full architecture

## File Structure

```
cli/src/
├── tui/           # OpenTUI + Solid.js TUI
├── core/          # Session, Controller, Migrations
├── adapters/      # Agent adapters (claude-code, cursor, etc.)
├── services/      # API client, clipboard, updates
└── types.ts       # CLI-specific types
```

## Events vs Messages

- CLI uses events internally (flat, event-sourced)
- API uses messages + parts (relational)
- Transform happens at sync boundary (`src/services/api.ts`)

```
CLI (events) -> transform() -> API (messages+parts)
```

## SQLite Migrations

- Schema version: `PRAGMA user_version`
- Migrations in `src/core/migrations.ts`
- Each migration runs in transaction

```typescript
{
  version: 2,
  name: 'add_new_column',
  up: (db: Database) => {
    db.exec('ALTER TABLE traces ADD COLUMN new_field TEXT');
  },
}
```

## Adding New Agent Adapters

Reference: `docs/adding-agents.md`

1. Add agent ID to `@traces/shared` and `cli/src/types.ts`
2. Create adapter in `cli/src/adapters/<agent>/v1.ts`
3. Register in `cli/src/adapters/index.ts`

### Adapter Test Fixtures

- Fixtures MUST track real-world formats as they evolve, otherwise adapter tests can be green but stale.
- Use versioned, minimal golden fixtures per adapter (normal + edge cases) and update them when upstream formats change.
- Keep fixtures sanitized and small, but representative: tool calls/results, reasoning, malformed lines, empty sessions, and timestamp/order quirks.
- When a production adapter bug is found, add the exact anonymized sample as a regression fixture before fixing code.
- Periodically refresh fixtures from current agent versions to avoid fixture drift.

## Memory Management

The CLI runs as a long-lived TUI process. These rules prevent unbounded memory growth:

- MUST: Override `count()` on every adapter — default loads full trace content
- MUST: Use `lastEventCount` integer, not `Set<string>` seenEventIds in `subscribe()`
- MUST: Check file mtime before expensive re-reads in polling subscriptions
- MUST: Call `closeDetailView()` (not manual state resets) when leaving detail view
- MUST: Bound any in-memory caches (Maps, Sets) with LRU eviction
- NEVER: Store raw request/response body objects in history — truncate to string
- NEVER: Copy forward stale Map entries across refresh cycles without pruning

### Monitoring

- Memory gauges emitted to Sentry every 60s: `cli.memory.rss_mb`, `cli.memory.heap_used_mb`, `cli.memory.growth_rate_mb_per_min`
- Sentry warnings at 512MB RSS (`cli.memory_warning`) and 1GB (`cli.memory_critical`)
- Diagnostics overlay (Ctrl+D) shows memory snapshot

Reference: See PR #236 for the full memory leak investigation and fixes.

<content>1: # Project: CLI Indexed Trace Discovery Rebuild
2: 
3: Rebuild trace discovery so startup is store-first and adapter scans run incrementally in the background, while preserving the current TUI contract and adapter pattern.
4: 
5: ## Goals
6: 
7: - Keep current local SQLite/EventStore as the persistence backbone (no TUI rewrite).
8: - Keep adapter pattern, but split adapter responsibilities into reusable discovery + content primitives.
9: - Eliminate cold-start full scans for very large Claude/Codex datasets.
10: - Keep `TraceController`/TUI read flow stable: TUI reads traces from controller/store, not adapters directly.
11: 
12: ## Non-Goals
13: 
14: - No API/backend changes.
15: - No TUI interaction redesign.
16: - No cross-app schema unification beyond CLI local DB.
17: 
18: ## ELI5 Architecture Shift
19: 
20: - **Today:** On launch, adapters still do discovery work, then store is updated.
21: - **Target:** Store already has a maintained index; launch reads store first, then background worker refreshes index incrementally.
22: 
23: ## Before vs After (Exact)
24: 
25: ### Startup/List Flow
26: 
27: **Before**
28: 
29: 1. TUI calls `TraceController.list(limit)`
30: 2. Controller calls `AdapterRegistry.getTraces(limit)`
31: 3. Each adapter scans agent storage (`history.jsonl`, session trees/files)
32: 4. Controller upserts adapter results into `traces`
33: 5. Controller reads `traces` and returns to TUI
34: 
35: **After**
36: 
37: 1. TUI calls `TraceController.list(limit)`
38: 2. Controller reads `traces` immediately and returns results
39: 3. Controller triggers `TraceIndexer.refresh()` in background
40: 4. Indexer requests incremental discovery batches from adapters
41: 5. Indexer upserts incremental discovery results directly into `traces`
42: 6. Next refresh/re-render shows updated list without blocking startup
43: 
44: ### Detail View Content Flow
45: 
46: **Before and After (same contract)**
47: 
48: 1. TUI asks controller for trace content
49: 2. Controller uses `Trace` model
50: 3. `Trace.getContent()` calls adapter `getTraceContent()`
51: 4. Adapter parses source file(s) into events
52: 
53: No detail rendering is moved into SQLite; EventStore remains metadata + sync cache.
54: 
55: ## Command Behavior Impact (Before vs After)
56: 
57: | Command | Before | After |
58: |---|---|---|
59: | `traces` (TUI) | First paint waits on adapter discovery | First paint from DB cache, discovery runs in background |
60: | `traces share` | `controller.list(500)` may block on scans | Selection runs against indexed DB, then background refresh can improve freshness |
61: | `traces status` | Shows DB size/counts only | Same, with optional index freshness/cursor stats |
62: | `traces doctor` | Checks DB/auth/network | Same, plus optional index health checks |
63: | `traces reset` | Deletes DB and forces resync | Same; also resets index state since it lives in same DB |
64: | `login/logout/whoami/upgrade` | Unchanged | Unchanged |
65: 
66: ## Schema: Old vs New
67: 
68: ### Old schema (today)
69: 
70: `traces`
71: - `id TEXT PRIMARY KEY`
72: - `agent_id TEXT`
73: - `title TEXT`
74: - `preview TEXT`
75: - `timestamp INTEGER`
76: - `directory TEXT`
77: - `source_path TEXT`
78: - `shared_url TEXT`
79: - `shared_visibility TEXT`
80: - `created_at INTEGER NOT NULL`
81: 
82: `events`
83: - `id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT`
84: - `trace_id TEXT NOT NULL`
85: - `event_id TEXT NOT NULL`
86: - `event_json TEXT NOT NULL`
87: - `created_at INTEGER NOT NULL`
88: - `UNIQUE(trace_id, event_id)`
89: 
90: ### New schema (additive, minimal-state v1)
91: 
92: Keep `traces` and `events` unchanged. Add only one small table:
93: 
94: `indexes`
95: - `agent_id TEXT PRIMARY KEY`
96: - `cursor_json TEXT NOT NULL` (adapter-defined checkpoint)
97: - `last_scan_at INTEGER NOT NULL`
98: - `last_error TEXT`
99: 
100: No `trace_index_entries` table in v1. `traces` remains the list index table.
101: 
102: Migration approach:
103: - Add one new migration version (v3) only.
104: - No destructive ALTER/DROP.
105: - Existing data remains valid.
106: 
107: ## Shared History Reader Scope
108: 
109: `cli/src/adapters/shared/history-reader.ts` is for **line-delimited history files** (JSONL-style), not SQLite.
110: 
111: - Input: file path + parser callback + budget config.
112: - Behavior: read tail first, then grow chunk size adaptively until enough unique sessions or byte budget hit.
113: - Output: parsed records + stats (bytes scanned, lines parsed, parse errors).
114: 
115: It is **not storage-agnostic** across JSONL and SQLite.
116: 
117: - JSONL/file-backed adapters (Claude/Codex) use `history-reader`.
118: - SQLite-backed adapters (Cursor global DB) use adapter-specific query scanners (separate shared helper later if needed).
119: 
120: ## Discovery Tuning Knobs (Why They Matter)
121: 
122: These constants intentionally trade off freshness, latency, and worst-case safety for very large local datasets.
123: 
124: - `historyTailReadBytes` (2MB): initial tail read size so common refreshes avoid scanning full history files.
125: - `historyMaxScanBytes` (32MB): hard upper bound on bytes scanned from history files during one discovery pass.
126: - `historyChunkGrowthFactor` (2x): exponential backoff for chunk size so scans reach older entries quickly when needed.
127: - `historySessionMultiplier` (4x): overscan history rows beyond requested list limit so dedupe/filtering still returns enough traces.
128: - `sessionPathCache` (`Map<sessionId, sourcePath>`): memoizes source path resolution to prevent repeated directory walks.
129: - `maxFallbackProjectDirsScanned` / `maxFallbackSessionFilesScanned`: fallback tree-scan caps when history cannot be trusted; protects cold-start on huge trees.
130: - `maxSourceLookupProjectDirsScanned` (and adapter-specific source lookup caps): higher one-trace lookup budgets used for opening/counting a selected trace without making global discovery expensive.
131: 
132: Rule of thumb:
133: 
134: - Increase caps only when users miss traces in large repos.
135: - Decrease caps if startup/refresh latency or memory grows too much.
136: - Keep lookup caps >= fallback caps so direct trace opens stay reliable.
137: 
138: ## Proposed Architecture (Additive, Backward Compatible)
139: 
140: 1) **EventStore stays** for `traces` + `events` and current consumers.
141: 2) Add **minimal index state table** (new migration, additive only):
142:    - `indexes(agent_id, cursor_json, last_scan_at, last_error)`
143: 3) Add `TraceIndexer` service:
144:    - Runs on startup in background.
145:    - Pulls incremental updates from adapters using cursors/checkpoints.
146:    - Upserts directly into existing `traces` rows.
147: 4) Keep `TraceController.list()` store-first:
148:    - Return immediately from `traces`.
149:    - Trigger async index refresh.
150:    - UI remains responsive and unchanged.
151: 
152: ## Adapter Contract Evolution (Keep Pattern, Improve Common Code)
153: 
154: Retain `TraceAdapter` for content/subscription, add optional discovery capability:
155: 
156: - `getTraceIndexBatch?(state, options) -> { entries, nextState, done }`
157: 
158: Shared utilities (`cli/src/adapters/shared/`):
159: 
160: - Bounded tail JSONL reader with adaptive chunk growth.
161: - Common history dedupe/normalize helpers.
162: - File path resolver cache + safe fallback scanning with budget.
163: - Shared "skip injected/system prompt" normalization rules.
164: 
165: Adapters keep custom parsing logic, but use shared discovery primitives to reduce duplication.
166: 
167: ## Why Claude/Codex First
168: 
169: We start with Claude/Codex for incremental discovery because they are the highest-risk startup bottleneck:
170: 
171: - Very large flat history files + deep session trees.
172: - Most user-reported startup/memory pain comes from these two adapters.
173: 
174: Other adapters are intentionally staged after this stabilizes:
175: 
176: - Cursor (SQLite + transcript hybrid) needs a different discovery helper surface.
177: - OpenCode/Gemini have different storage shapes and currently lower startup risk.
178: 
179: Follow-up rule:
180: - After Phase 4 is stable, add `getTraceIndexBatch` for Cursor/OpenCode/Gemini in Phase 5/6 with adapter-specific checkpoints.
181: 
182: JSONL priority rule:
183: - Any adapter path backed by JSONL files is prioritized before non-JSONL sources.
184: 
185: ## Phase Plan (Atomic + Reversible)
186: 
187: ### Phase 0: Baseline + Safety Rails
188: 
189: - [x] Add `traces list` command (first-light slice) to exercise controller/index path without TUI.
190: - [x] Include `--json`, `--limit`, and optional `--agent` filters for benchmarking and scripting.
191: - [x] Include optional timing/index diagnostics output for quick before/after comparisons.
192: - [x] Add `traces status` index diagnostics (`index rows`, `last scan`, `error count`).
193: - [x] Add startup timing + memory diagnostics for discovery/indexing.
194: 
195: ### Phase 1: DB Foundations (Lowest Level)
196: 
197: - [x] Add migration for `indexes` only.
198: - [x] Add EventStore methods for index read/write operations.
199: - [x] Keep existing `traces/events` schema and readers untouched.
200: 
201: ### Phase 2: Shared Adapter Discovery Toolkit
202: 
203: - [x] Introduce `adapters/shared/history-reader.ts` (bounded adaptive tail scan).
204: - [x] Introduce shared dedupe/title/path normalization helpers.
205: - [x] Refactor Claude/Codex discovery logic to use shared helpers without behavior change.
206: - [x] Confirm all JSONL-backed discovery paths use shared reader before moving to non-JSONL adapters.
207: 
208: ### Phase 3: Incremental Indexer
209: 
210: - [x] Implement `TraceIndexer` service with per-agent cursor/state.
211: - [x] Claude/Codex implement `getTraceIndexBatch` with incremental checkpoints.
212: - [x] Indexer upserts directly to `traces` (preserve `shared_*` fields).
213: 
214: ### Phase 4: Controller Switch (No TUI Contract Change)
215: 
216: - [x] `TraceController.list()` reads store first, with non-blocking empty-cache mode (`seedIfEmpty: false`) for first paint.
217: - [x] Background refresh updates list reactively when indexer completes batches.
218: - [x] `find()` remains store-first with adapter fallback only when missing.
219: - [x] TUI initial load uses non-blocking list mode and starts immediate background hydration when cache is empty.

<content>1: # Project: CLI Agent Hardening
2: 
3: Make the CLI more reliable for agents and scripts without breaking existing clients.
4: 
5: ## Goals
6: 
7: - Fail fast on invalid invocations instead of silently ignoring mistakes.
8: - Make every automation-facing command self-discoverable via local `--help` output with examples.
9: - Standardize machine-readable output and exit-code behavior across the CLI.
10: - Make destructive or state-changing commands safer with explicit non-interactive and preview paths.
11: - Add stdin support and naming aliases in a compatibility-safe, additive way.
12: 
13: ## Non-Goals
14: 
15: - No API or frontend changes.
16: - No TUI redesign.
17: - No removal or renaming of existing flags.
18: - No automatic stdin reading just because input is piped.
19: - No breaking changes to existing JSON success/error payloads.
20: 
21: ## Why This Project Exists
22: 
23: The CLI already has good agent-friendly foundations in `share`, `list`, `setup`, and `remove skills`, but it still has a few sharp edges:
24: 
25: - Unknown flags are silently ignored in several parsers.
26: - Help is uneven across commands and usually lacks concrete examples.
27: - JSON output exists for some commands but not for the full automation surface.
28: - Destructive commands do not consistently support `--dry-run` or non-interactive bypasses.
29: - Similar concepts use different names across commands (`--cwd` vs `--dir`, `--key` vs likely aliases).
30: - Commands do not yet support explicit stdin-driven composition.
31: 
32: ## Compatibility Constraints
33: 
34: - Existing commands and flags must keep working.
35: - Existing JSON envelopes stay stable; only additive fields are allowed.
36: - New aliases must map to the current canonical internal fields.
37: - Stdin support must be opt-in (`-` sentinel or explicit flag), not implicit.
38: - Human-readable deprecation guidance must never appear in `--json` mode.
39: - Existing special exit codes should be preserved where already shipped unless we intentionally migrate them with coverage and release notes.
40: 
41: ## Design Principles
42: 
43: - **Strict parsing:** unknown flags, missing values, and extra positional args fail immediately with actionable guidance.
44: - **Additive compatibility:** aliases and stdin support extend the interface; they do not replace existing usage.
45: - **Local discoverability:** agents should be able to learn the CLI by running `traces <command> --help`.
46: - **Stable machine output:** JSON payloads go to stdout on success and stderr on failure with a consistent envelope.
47: - **Safe mutation:** mutating commands should support preview and non-interactive execution.
48: - **Predictable naming:** the same concept should use the same name everywhere, with aliases where history already differs.
49: 
50: ## Target Surface
51: 
52: ### Strict Parsing
53: 
54: - Introduce a shared parser layer for CLI commands instead of hand-written permissive loops.
55: - Fail on:
56:   - unknown options
57:   - missing option values
58:   - invalid enum values
59:   - unexpected extra positional args
60: - Include suggestions where possible (`--jsno` -> `--json`).
61: - Standardize invalid-usage exits to code `2` for newly migrated commands.
62: 
63: ### Help and Examples
64: 
65: - Add `--help` support to every non-trivial command and subcommand.
66: - Each help page should include:
67:   - what the command does
68:   - required/optional arguments
69:   - 2-4 concrete examples
70:   - notes for automation when relevant (`--json`, `--yes`, `--dry-run`, stdin)
71: 
72: ### Structured Output
73: 
74: - Expand `--json` coverage to the full automation surface:
75:   - `status`
76:   - `doctor`
77:   - `whoami`
78:   - `namespace` subcommands
79:   - `transfer`
80:   - `setup git`
81:   - `remove git`
82:   - `uninstall`
83: - Keep the existing `ok/data/error` envelope shape.
84: - Keep human-mode formatting separate from JSON mode.
85: 
86: ### Safe Mutation
87: 
88: - Add `--dry-run` to commands that remove files, mutate config, or change server-side state.
89: - Standardize confirmation bypasses:
90:   - `--yes` for confirmation-driven flows
91:   - `--force` where the command already uses force semantics
92: - Add explicit non-interactive behavior so commands error with guidance instead of hanging on prompts.
93: 
94: ### Additive stdin and Aliases
95: 
96: - Add opt-in stdin support using one of these patterns:
97:   - `--trace-id -`
98:   - `--from-stdin`
99:   - `--input json`
100: - Keep stdin support explicit per command.
101: - Add compatibility-safe aliases:
102:   - `--api-key` and `--token` -> `--key`
103:   - `share --dir` -> `--cwd`
104:   - `list --cwd` -> `--dir`
105: - Show one canonical name in help while continuing to accept the old one.
106: 
107: ## Phase Plan
108: 
109: ### Phase 0: Baseline Contracts and Safety Rails
110: 
111: - Add characterization tests for existing behavior we must preserve.
112: - Snapshot current JSON payloads for `share`, `list`, `setup`, and `remove skills`.
113: - Document the initial exit-code contract before broadening it.
114: - Capture compatibility constraints in code comments/tests so follow-up phases do not drift.
115: 
116: ### Phase 1: Shared Strict Parser Foundation
117: 
118: - Introduce a small shared parser utility for commands with:
119:   - known option definitions
120:   - aliases
121:   - value requirements
122:   - positional argument rules
123:   - suggestion support
124: - Migrate the most automation-sensitive commands first:
125:   - `share`
126:   - `list`
127:   - `setup`
128:   - `remove skills`
129:   - `transfer`
130: - Replace silent-ignore parser tests with fail-fast tests.
131: 
132: ### Phase 2: Per-Command Help and Examples
133: 
134: - Add `--help` to all non-trivial commands and subcommands.
135: - Cover at least:
136:   - `share`
137:   - `list`
138:   - `status`
139:   - `doctor`
140:   - `whoami`
141:   - `namespace list|use|pin|unpin`
142:   - `transfer`
143:   - `reset`
144:   - `setup skills|git`
145:   - `remove skills|git`
146:   - `hook post-commit|prepare-commit-msg`
147:   - `uninstall`
148: - Use examples that reflect real agent workflows, especially `--json` and explicit selectors.
149: 
150: ### Phase 3: Structured Output and Exit-Code Unification
151: 
152: - Add `--json` to the remaining automation-facing commands.
153: - Ensure success JSON goes to stdout and error JSON goes to stderr.
154: - Remove ANSI from JSON mode and from non-TTY human output where it interferes with automation.
155: - Normalize invalid-usage exits to `2` for migrated commands.
156: - Preserve already-shipped special-case exit codes until we intentionally migrate them.
157: 
158: ### Phase 4: Mutating Command Hardening
159: 
160: - Add `--dry-run` to:
161:   - `reset`
162:   - `remove skills`
163:   - `setup git`
164:   - `remove git`
165:   - `transfer`
166:   - `uninstall`
167: - Keep default interactive confirmations where they already exist.
168: - Add explicit non-interactive failure paths for commands that would otherwise prompt.
169: - Make dry-run output useful for both human mode and JSON mode.
170: 
171: ### Phase 5: Additive Stdin and Alias Rollout
172: 
173: - Add explicit stdin ingestion for the small set of commands where composition matters most:
174:   - `share`
175:   - `transfer`
176:   - optional follow-up for `namespace use` if needed
177: - Add new aliases without removing existing names.
178: - Keep docs and help canonical while marking aliases as accepted alternatives.
179: - Add tests proving that legacy flags and new aliases both resolve to the same internal fields.
180: 
181: ### Phase 6: Polish and Follow-Through
182: 
183: - Update `docs/cli.md` with the new help, JSON, stdin, alias, and dry-run behavior.
184: - Add release notes describing the new additive interfaces.
185: - Consider telemetry for invalid-argument classes so future parser work is driven by real usage.
186: 
187: ## Command Worklist
188: 
189: | Command | Strict parse | `--help` | `--json` | `--dry-run` | stdin/aliases |
190: |---|---|---|---|---|---|
191: | `share` | Yes | Yes | already exists | optional for preview-only listing, not required | Yes |
192: | `list` | Yes | Yes | already exists | n/a | alias only |
193: | `status` | Yes | Yes | add | n/a | maybe `--api-key` alias only |
194: | `doctor` | Yes | Yes | add | n/a | maybe `--api-key` alias only |
195: | `whoami` | Yes | Yes | add | n/a | maybe `--api-key` alias only |
196: | `namespace` | Yes | Yes | add | n/a | maybe aliases only |
197: | `transfer` | Yes | Yes | add | add | Yes |
198: | `reset` | Yes | Yes | add if useful | add | no |
199: | `setup skills` | mostly already there | improve | already exists | add where file writes happen | aliases only |
200: | `setup git` | Yes | Yes | add | add | no |
201: | `remove skills` | Yes | Yes | already exists | add | no |
202: | `remove git` | Yes | Yes | add | add | no |
203: | `uninstall` | Yes | Yes | add | add | no |
204: 
205: ## Testing Plan
206: 
207: - **Parser tests:** unknown flags, missing values, invalid enums, extra args, alias resolution, suggestion text.
208: - **Backcompat tests:** current flags continue to work; current JSON payloads remain unchanged except for additive fields.
209: - **Help tests:** every migrated command supports `--help` and includes at least one example.
210: - **JSON tests:** stdout/stderr routing stays correct and payloads remain machine-readable.
211: - **Dry-run tests:** no file system or network side effects occur when `--dry-run` is set.
212: - **Non-interactive tests:** commands fail with actionable guidance instead of waiting on prompts.
213: - **Stdin tests:** only explicit stdin modes consume input; plain piped stdin does not change command behavior.
214: 
215: ## Rollout Order
216: 
217: 1. Phase 0 and Phase 1 first, because silent argument ignoring is the biggest correctness risk.
218: 2. Phase 2 next, so the stricter parser has clear local guidance to point users and agents toward.
219: 3. Phase 3 after that, so the full automation surface becomes scriptable.
220: 4. Phase 4 once parser and JSON scaffolding are in place.
221: 5. Phase 5 last, because stdin and alias work must stay strictly additive and well-tested.
222: 
223: ## Success Criteria
224: 
225: - No automation-facing command silently ignores invalid flags.
226: - An agent can learn the CLI from `--help` output alone.
227: - The full automation surface offers predictable JSON output.
228: - Destructive commands can be previewed safely.
229: - Existing clients keep working unchanged while new aliases and stdin paths become available.

```

## Managing Projects

- MUST: Core project outline and purpose always clear
- MUST: Start at lowest level - API, Types before frontend
- MUST: Clear atomic checklist items
- MUST: Phases should be committable and reversible
- NEVER: Commit without asking
- NEVER: Change API, CLI, Frontend all at once unless permitted
- SHOULD: Keep project plan updated

## Writing Tests

- MUST: Write cleanup functions for every test
- MUST: Test behavior, not code structure
- MUST: Use simple, easy-to-understand names

## Defining Types

- MUST: Use `@traces/shared` for shared types
- Reference: `docs/types.md`

## Shared Package (`@traces/shared`)

The `packages/shared/` package provides types consumed by both `api/` and `frontend/`.

**Two type generation pipelines:**
1. **OpenAPI types** (`bun run generate:api` in `packages/shared/`) — generates REST API types from `openapi.json`
2. **Convex query types** (`bun run generate:convex` in `packages/shared/`) — generates typed function references from the running Convex backend via `convex-helpers ts-api-spec`

**Convex return types:** When a Convex query/mutation has a `returns` validator, `ts-api-spec` generates a typed return type. Without `returns`, the return type is `any`.
- MUST: Add `returns` validators to public queries so the frontend gets type safety
- Run `bun run generate:convex` (requires local Convex backend running) after changing query signatures
- Run `bun run build` in `packages/shared/` to compile the types
- The `watch-convex.ts` dev script auto-regenerates on file changes during development

## Deployment

### CI/CD Workflows (`.github/workflows/`)

| Workflow | Trigger | What it does |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `api-deploy.yml` | Push to `main` when `api/**` changes | Deploy Convex + run migrations + run backfills |
| `api-tests.yml` | PR / push | Run API test suite |
| `ci.yml` | PR / push | General CI checks |
| `release-cli.yml` | Release tag | Build + publish CLI binaries |

### API Deploy Pipeline (`api-deploy.yml`)

On push to `main` with `api/**` changes:
1. `bunx convex deploy` — pushes functions + schema to production Convex
2. `bunx convex run internal/migrations:run` — runs framework migrations (tracked, idempotent)
3. Backfill migrations (currently none pending — add new ones to the "Run backfill migrations" step as needed, and remove completed ones once they've run on main)

**Key:** The workflow only triggers on `api/**` path changes. Changes to `.github/workflows/`, `frontend/`, or `packages/` alone will NOT trigger a deploy.

### Adding New Migrations

- Framework migrations: Add to the `run` runner array in `internal/migrations.ts`
- Backfill migrations: Add as `internalMutation` with pagination + self-scheduling, then add to the "Run backfill migrations" step in `api-deploy.yml`
- MUST: All migrations must be idempotent (safe to run repeatedly)
- Manual-only migrations (e.g., `backfillTraceSummaries`) should NOT be added to the deploy workflow

## Architecture Docs

| Doc | Purpose |
|-----|---------|
| `docs/api.md` | REST API reference, data model, rate limiting |
| `docs/auth.md` | Auth architecture, token types, OAuth flows |
| `docs/cli.md` | CLI data flow, events vs messages, SQLite migrations |
| `docs/frontend.md` | Frontend architecture, routes, auth integration, message rendering |
| `docs/types.md` | Shared types reference (`@traces/shared`) |

Set this up in a clean worktree off `main` so it stays isolated from the dirty current branch.

- Worktree: `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces-worktrees/feat-cli-agent-hardening`
- Branch: `feat/cli-agent-hardening`
- Bootstrapped there with `bun install`

I wrote the compatibility-safe implementation plan in `docs/projects/cli-agent-hardening.md` and linked it from `docs/README.md`.

The plan covers:
- strict parsing without silent flag ignores
- per-command `--help` with examples
- broader `--json` coverage and exit-code cleanup
- `--dry-run` and explicit non-interactive behavior for mutating commands
- additive stdin support and aliases only, with backcompat preserved
- a phased rollout and test plan

Natural next steps:
1. Start Phase 0-1 in this worktree by building the shared strict parser utility
2. Review the plan doc together and adjust phase ordering before implementation

Started the first hardening slice in the worktree at `/Users/tarunsachdeva/code/traces-worktrees/feat-cli-agent-hardening`.

- Added a shared strict parser in `cli/src/commands/strict-parser.ts` so commands can fail fast on unknown flags, missing values, and extra positional args with actionable usage text
- Migrated `share`, `list`, `setup`, `remove skills`, and `transfer` to use strict parsing through `cli/src/commands/share-options.ts`, `cli/src/commands/list-options.ts`, `cli/src/commands/setup-options.ts`, `cli/src/commands/remove-skills-options.ts`, and new `cli/src/commands/transfer-options.ts`
- Wired parse failures into the CLI entrypoints in `cli/src/index.ts` and `cli/src/share-entry.ts`, including JSON-shaped `INVALID_ARGUMENTS` errors when `--json` is present
- Kept backcompat for existing valid invocations; this slice only removes silent-ignore behavior for invalid ones
- Added/updated parser tests in `cli/src/commands/share-options.test.ts`, `cli/src/commands/list-options.test.ts`, `cli/src/commands/setup-options.test.ts`, `cli/src/commands/remove-skills-options.test.ts`, and `cli/src/commands/transfer-options.test.ts`

Verified with:
- `bun test src/commands/share-options.test.ts src/commands/list-options.test.ts src/commands/setup-options.test.ts src/commands/remove-skills-options.test.ts src/commands/transfer-options.test.ts`
- `bun test src/commands/share.test.ts src/commands/list.test.ts src/commands/setup.test.ts src/commands/remove-skills.test.ts`
- `bunx tsc --noEmit`

Natural next steps:
1. Add per-command `--help` and examples for the commands we just hardened
2. Extend `--json` to `status`, `doctor`, `whoami`, `namespace`, and `transfer`
3. Add `--dry-run` / non-interactive hardening for destructive commands
