Can you check when the CLI is checking for share status with the server? i would expect it to happen immediately at startup but seems like there's some other stuff done first
Searching CLI for share status
I'm planning to locate the CLI startup related to the share status by searching within the CLI source folder using glob and grep for keywords like "share" and "status" to identify relevant code or tasks.
Searching CLI services for share status
I'm planning to identify where the CLI checks or syncs share status by searching for terms like "share," "shared," or "getShareStatus" within CLI service source files, focusing on the cli/src/services folder.
Locating share status functionality
I'm examining key files tied to API calls and trace control to find where "share status with server" is handled, focusing first on the API service and trace controller modules.
Mapping CLI share status check timing
The share status check happens in TraceController's reconcileSharedState, called during start and list flows after config and remote config load. It runs only if authenticated and configured, with a 15-second throttle, and involves fetching local traces before syncing remote status.
Clarifying share status check delay
The CLI’s share status check waits for remote config loading first, which may include a network call, so it doesn’t happen immediately at startup. TraceController.start (called after config load) triggers reconcileSharedState to check share status, with further periodic refreshes; this sequence explains the observed delay before the initial share status sync.
Explaining CLI startup sequence
The CLI first applies environment defaults and checks TTY before starting the TUI. On TUI mount, it loads config and remote config, sets up event stores and adapters, then starts the controller, which triggers the share status check with the server (throttled and only if configured/authenticated). This share check happens after initial config loading and event setup, not immediately at startup.
Clarifying share status check timing
The share status check happens in TraceController.reconcileSharedState() (cli/src/core/trace-controller.ts), which calls api.listTraces() (GET /v1/traces) in cli/src/services/api.ts to query the server. This method runs during TraceController.start() and periodically via TraceController.list().
On startup (in cli/src/tui/app.tsx), the TUI first loads and merges remote config (loadRemoteConfig), then calls controller.start()—triggering the initial share check—and then controller.list() which scans local traces and may trigger another share check. The share check is throttled to once every 15 seconds (REMOTE_SHARE_REFRESH_MS) and guarded by authentication and TRACES_* environment variables (TRACES_API_URL, TRACES_HTTP_URL, or TRACES_URL); if these aren’t set or the user isn’t authenticated, it clears local share state and skips remote calls.
Because loadRemoteConfig() fetches remote configuration before controller.start(), and because the TUI startup runs asynchronously inside a React effect after process start, the share status check doesn’t happen immediately at CLI startup but shortly after initial config and environment setup complete. This explains why other network and local setup tasks precede the share status check.
Here’s where the CLI checks share status and why it doesn’t happen “immediately” at process start.
Where the server check happens
TraceController.reconcileSharedState() in cli/src/core/trace-controller.ts calls api.listTraces() to fetch server traces and map them to sharedUrl.api.listTraces() issues GET /v1/traces in cli/src/services/api.ts.When it runs
createEffect in cli/src/tui/app.tsx: it first loads/merges remote config, then calls controller.start(), which immediately calls reconcileSharedState().controller.list() (called right after start(), and every 2s in the refresh loop), but is throttled to once per 15s (REMOTE_SHARE_REFRESH_MS = 15000) and deduped by remoteShareSyncPromise.Why you see other work first
loadRemoteConfig() (cli/src/services/config-loader.ts) fetches ${TRACES_URL}/config.json before controller.start().controller.list()) does adapter trace discovery and store upserts before the next share-sync attempt.Also note
TRACES_API_URL, TRACES_HTTP_URL, or TRACES_URL aren’t set (it clears local shared state once and returns).If you want this to happen earlier in startup, we could move the share sync to run before loadRemoteConfig() or trigger it explicitly before controller.list().
how about right after load remoteConfig,
Planning TUI startup reorder
I'm outlining a phased plan to inspect and adjust the TUI startup call sequence, moving share sync to run immediately after loadRemoteConfig as requested. I'll start by reviewing low-level API calls, then change the startup order, and finally test integration, ensuring each phase is atomic and committable before advancing. I'll ask if the user wants share sync to start right after loadRemoteConfig or later during startTui config load.
Got it. Here’s a concise plan to make the share-status check run immediately after loadRemoteConfig() completes, before any other startup work. No changes executed yet.
Goal Run server share-status reconciliation right after remote config is loaded, instead of waiting for controller start/list.
Plan (read-only) Phase 1 — Core flow adjustments (lowest level first)
cli/src/tui/app.tsx around loadRemoteConfig(), controller.start(), and controller.list().controller.reconcileSharedState() directly or refactor a public “sync share status now” method on TraceController (prefer no API changes unless needed).Phase 2 — TUI initialization ordering
loadRemoteConfig() and before controller.start()/controller.list().Phase 3 — Diagnostics and behavior checks
REMOTE_SHARE_REFRESH_MS) still behaves as expected with the new call order.Atomic checklist
cli/src/tui/app.tsx.Before I proceed: do you want this to force an immediate server call even if it was recently synced (i.e., bypass the 15s throttle), or should it still respect the throttle? I recommend respecting the throttle unless you want a guaranteed call on every startup.
I want a call on every startup, and then the 15 second timer to kick off after everything is done
Planning implementation steps
I'll draft a clear plan with a checklist covering the key files involved and next steps before proceeding. Let me know if any specific questions arise.
Understood. Here’s the concrete plan to guarantee a share-status call on every startup and only start the 15s throttle after the initial load finishes.
Plan
Phase 1 — API/Controller adjustments (lowest level first)
TraceController.reconcileSharedState() (or a new public wrapper) so startup can bypass the 15s throttle and still set lastRemoteShareSyncAt at the end.Phase 2 — TUI startup ordering
cli/src/tui/app.tsx, right after loadRemoteConfig() resolves, call the forced share-status sync.controller.start() and controller.list() sequence; the later calls will see lastRemoteShareSyncAt set, so the 15s timer begins after startup completes.Phase 3 — Diagnostics integrity
Atomic checklist
cli/src/core/trace-controller.ts.loadRemoteConfig() in cli/src/tui/app.tsx.REMOTE_SHARE_REFRESH_MS) starts after startup finishes.If this plan looks good, tell me to proceed and I’ll implement it.
