Operability surface and the bulk of the jopts→fopts migration:
* --log-level error|warn|info|debug + WEKNORA_LOG_LEVEL env, wired to
the SDK via client.SetDebugLevel. Invalid --log-level returns FlagError
(exit 2).
* kb status <kb-id> / kb check <kb-id> verb split (1 HTTP vs 1+N for
failed_count aggregation).
* agent status <agent-id> / agent check <agent-id> verb split
(probes kb_scope_all_reachable via 1+N HTTP).
* kb create <name> positional (matches agent create).
* Positional id help strings namespaced (<kb-id> / <agent-id>).
* All auth / context / link / doctor / kb / agent CRUD commands migrated
to the FormatOptions API.
* root.go Execute(ctx) takes a context so signal-cancellation propagates
via cmd.Context() into long-running commands.
* Pagination termination uses len(accum) >= total (not page*pageSize)
so server-capped page sizes do not truncate aggregations.
Survey of 10 mainstream CLIs (gh, lark, stripe, vercel, supabase, aws,
azure, gcloud, openai/codex, github-copilot-cli) showed env-gated
per-command --help blurbs are a Stripe-only pattern; gh uses env detect
for telemetry only, and lark relies on installed agent Skills + MCP.
Our cmd/mcp/serve already covers the dominant 2025/26 path, so
internal/aiclient/ (136 LOC + 38 callsites) is net maintenance burden
without precedent.
- Drop internal/aiclient/ entirely (annotations + detect + tests)
- Remove 38 SetAgentHelp callsites + agentAwareHelpFunc / SetHelpFunc
wiring in cmd/root.go
- Migrate 4 command-level rules to standard Long help (visible to all,
not env-gated): doc upload mode mutex, kb edit at-least-one,
kb pin idempotent, search chunks channel mutex
- Rewrite AGENTS.md as a developer guide (gh-style 6 H2 / 167 lines):
audience preamble + Build / Architecture / Command Structure /
Testing / Code Style / Error Handling. Drops sections absent in
surveyed projects (Commit & PR Conventions, Who Uses This CLI)
- Clean 14 internal doc refs (ADR-N, spec §X, v0.X) in source comments
and docs that pointed at docs/superpowers/ — that directory is
local-only / uncommitted, so refs are dead for outside readers
- Drop forward-looking "once v0.2 ships" from README
Two intertwined mainstream-alignment moves bundled because they share
the migration target (every command's --json path):
1. Drop --dry-run entirely. Survey of comparable API-wrapper CLIs
(gh, aws, stripe, lark): none expose --dry-run. The mainstream that
does (kubectl/git/helm/ansible) operates on declarative manifests
or local state where the preview is materially different from the
executed action. WeKnora's CLI just echoed the same parameters
that would have gone on the wire — the preview added no real
signal over `--help` + reading the call site. Removes:
- root --dry-run persistent flag + cmdutil/dryrun.go
- DryRun fields + EmitDryRun calls in 12 write commands
- format.Envelope.DryRun field
- 8 corresponding *_test.go cases
- --dry-run mention from README.md and CHANGELOG.md
- "dry_run":false from 16 golden envelopes
2. Migrate every --json output to bare data:
- New format.WriteJSON / WriteJSONFiltered helpers
(cli/internal/format/bare.go) share filterArrayItems /
filterObjectKeys / writeJQ with the (still-live for now) envelope
filter helpers.
- Read commands (kb/doc/session list+view, search chunks/docs/
sessions/kb, auth list/status, agent list/view, context list,
doctor) emit bare arrays / objects on stdout.
- Write commands (kb create/edit/delete/pin/empty, doc upload/
upload_recursive/delete, session delete, auth login/logout/
refresh/token, link/unlink, context add/use/remove, agent
invoke, chat, api, version) emit bare result objects. Risk
classification dropped — the resource + exit code already
convey the action.
Per-command shape changes:
list / search → []T (was {ok, data:{items:[…]}})
view → T (was {ok, data:T, _meta:…})
create / edit → T
delete / pin / etc. → {id, …action result…}
doctor → {summary, checks}
api → {status, headers, body}
_meta dropped on the read path:
pagination (page/page_size/total/has_more) — agents iterate with
--all-pages or accept --limit (gh CLI parity);
kb_id / context echo — caller already knows what it asked for.
Acceptance contract goldens regenerated for the new bare shape.
Error envelope on stdout (PrintErrorEnvelope) stays live for now —
the envelope-infra deletion lands in the next commit.
Cross-cutting cleanup that lands alongside the new feature surface:
- `--limit / -L` and `--all-pages` on every list command. Default
--limit 30 (gh-parity); --all-pages drains every server page
client-side, capped by --limit. Closes the audit finding that the
old "1000 max per call" implicit cap was undiscoverable.
- `auth token` emits a TTY-only stderr advisory when stdout is a
terminal (the credential just got displayed in scrollback) plus an
api-key-mode rotation hint.
- Comment + doc discipline pass: drop external project name
references from in-code comments (we reference them in design notes,
not inline).
- Bump `go` directive to 1.26.0 and CI matrix to 1.26.x to align with
the main module's go.mod.
- Rename `cli/internal/agent` → `cli/internal/aiclient` to
disambiguate from the new `cli/cmd/agent` resource subtree. The
package handles AI coding-agent env detection + per-command --help
annotations; the new name reflects that more precisely.
Output ergonomics:
- `--json` accepts a comma-separated field list (gh-parity); selects
named keys from the per-command payload. Bare `--json` keeps the
full shape.
- `--jq <expr>` evaluates a gojq expression over the JSON; pairs with
`--json field-list` so projection runs before jq.
- `--version` is a global cobra flag in addition to the `version`
subcommand; both render the same line.
- Per-command `--help` now renders the available JSON field list under
"JSON fields available via `--json id,name,...`" (field-discovery
parity with gh / kubectl `-o jsonpath`).
New commands:
- `auth token` — print the active context's credential to stdout for
shell command substitution (`WEKNORA_TOKEN=$(weknora auth token)`).
Default: raw secret, no trailing newline. `--json` emits
`{token, mode, context}`.
- `doc upload --from-url <URL>` — ingest a remote URL via the SDK
`CreateKnowledgeFromURL`. `--name` forwarded as `FileName` so the
server's known-extension heuristic upgrades crawl-mode to
file-download-mode where appropriate.
Includes the simplify post-review polish pass (field-filter unit
tests, --json/--jq compose check, agent_help copy fixes).
