# airs-cli-rs

`airs-cli-rs` is a native Rust port of the TypeScript Prisma AIRS CLI, `airs-cli`. It
is built on the published `scm-sdk` crate and runs side by side with the TypeScript
CLI: the executable is named `airs-cli-rs`, so both can be on `PATH` at once. From 0.3
it keeps its own tenant store (TOML files under `~/.config/airs-cli/`) and creates,
edits, selects and deletes tenants itself. It no longer reads the TypeScript CLI's
registry; `tenant import` copies tenants from it once (see
[Upgrading from 0.2](#upgrading-from-02)).

[docs/DESIGN.md](docs/DESIGN.md) is the behavioural contract. Its §12 lists every
intentional difference from the TypeScript CLI.

## Status

Version 0.5 covers milestones 1–3, the M3.5 foundations, M4t tenant writes, M4 runtime
writes and M5 bulk scanning ([docs/MILESTONES.md](docs/MILESTONES.md)):

| Milestone | Commands |
|---|---|
| M1 tenant loading and diagnostics | `tenant list`, `tenant path`, `tenant read`, `tenant get`, `doctor` |
| M2 read-only management | `runtime profiles list/get`, `runtime topics list/get` |
| M3 scanning | `runtime scan` |
| M3.5 foundations | `pretty`, `table` and `json` output with the TypeScript CLI's layouts and colours for every command; `--debug` (a redacted API log, status and headers only); Linux musl builds |
| M4t tenant writes | its own TOML tenant store; `tenant create`, `set`, `unset`, `switch`, `delete` and `tenant import` |
| M4 runtime writes | `runtime topics create/update/delete/apply/revert/eval/sample`, `runtime profiles create/update/delete/cleanup` |
| M5 bulk scanning | `runtime bulk-scan`, `runtime resume-poll` |

`markdown`, `csv` and `yaml` output are dropped. Planned next: Red Team, DLP, Model
Security, the remaining runtime commands, `gateway` and `supplychain` (0.6–0.11).
Prebuilt, signed binaries are attached to each
[Forgejo release](https://git.cdot.io/cdot/prisma-airs-cli-rs/releases).

## Install

**From crates.io** (needs Rust 1.89 or newer). The crate is `airs-cli`; until 1.0 the
executable it installs is `airs-cli-rs`:

```sh
cargo install --locked airs-cli
```

**Prebuilt binaries** for Apple Silicon macOS (signed and notarised) and static Linux
x86_64 and arm64 are attached to each
[Forgejo release](https://git.cdot.io/cdot/prisma-airs-cli-rs/releases):

```sh
tar -xzf airs-cli-rs-<version>-<target>.tar.gz
install -m 0755 airs-cli-rs ~/.local/bin/airs-cli-rs
```

**From source:** the SDK, `scm-sdk` `=0.1.0`, comes from crates.io, so the first build
needs access to the crates.io index.

```sh
cargo build --release
```

This produces `target/release/airs-cli-rs`. On Apple Silicon it is a native arm64
executable. Copy it onto your `PATH`, or install it with `cargo install --path .`.

```sh
airs-cli-rs --version     # 0.5.0
airs-cli-rs --help
```

## Upgrading from 0.2

Up to 0.2, airs-cli-rs read the TypeScript CLI's tenant registry directly. From 0.3 it
reads only its own store, so copy your tenants once:

```sh
airs-cli-rs tenant import --dry-run   # what would be copied; writes nothing
airs-cli-rs tenant import             # copy every tenant, and the selection
```

- It reads the registry the TypeScript CLI uses (`PRISMA_AIRS_TENANTS_PATH`, else
  `$XDG_STATE_HOME/prisma-airs/tenants.json`, else
  `~/.local/state/prisma-airs/tenants.json`) and the JSON configs it names. Those files
  are only read: never changed, locked or created.
- The report (a table; `--output json` for scripts) has one row per tenant with the
  action `import`, `replace` or `skip` and notes naming renamed, dropped and unknown
  keys. It never shows a value.
- Keys are converted: `aiGw*` become `gateway*`, `agentGuard*` become `supplychain*`;
  `dataDir`, the `typesafe*` keys, empty values, unknown keys and a `defaultOutput` of
  `markdown`, `csv` or `yaml` are dropped, each with a note.
- The TypeScript selection is copied when airs-cli-rs has none yet.
- An existing airs-cli-rs tenant is never overwritten unless you pass `--replace`.
- A tenant whose config cannot be read, or whose `mgmtTsgId` differs from its
  registration, is skipped; the command then exits 1 after copying the others.
- `--from <registry>` reads another registry, `--name <name>` copies one tenant, and
  `--from-config <file> --name <name>` copies a single JSON config file (it replaces
  the TypeScript `tenant create --config`).
- The copy is independent: later changes made with the TypeScript CLI are not seen.
  Run `airs-cli-rs tenant import --replace` again to refresh.

Until you import, `airs-cli-rs doctor` fails its Tenant check with this hint, and the
"no tenant selected" messages say the same.

## Usage

Commands use the selected tenant of the airs-cli-rs store. `--tenant <name>` selects
another registered tenant for one invocation and leaves the selection unchanged (it is
refused by the commands that change tenants, which take the name as an argument).

### Tenants

```sh
airs-cli-rs tenant create development           # prompts for the TSG ID, client ID and (hidden) client secret
printf '%s\n' "$SECRET" | airs-cli-rs tenant create ci --tsg-id 1234567890 --client-id ci-client --client-secret-stdin
airs-cli-rs tenant switch development           # select it for later commands
airs-cli-rs tenant set development defaultOutput json
airs-cli-rs tenant set development airsApiKey   # secrets: a hidden prompt ...
printf '%s\n' "$KEY" | airs-cli-rs tenant set development airsApiKey --stdin   # ... or stdin
airs-cli-rs tenant set development mgmtTsgId 2345678901   # changes the TSG and its pin
airs-cli-rs tenant unset development defaultOutput        # credentials cannot be cleared
airs-cli-rs tenant delete development           # asks first; --force skips the question
airs-cli-rs tenant list                         # every tenant as a table, no credentials read (alias: ls)
airs-cli-rs tenant path                         # tenant file path of the selected tenant
airs-cli-rs tenant read                         # effective config as a Key │ Value table, secrets [REDACTED]
airs-cli-rs tenant get development mgmtTsgId    # one setting (pretty by default)
airs-cli-rs tenant get development mgmtTsgId --output json
airs-cli-rs --tenant staging tenant read
```

- **Where tenants live.** `config.toml` (the selection and each tenant's pinned TSG)
  and `tenants/<name>.toml` (that tenant's settings, secrets included) in
  `$AIRS_CLI_CONFIG_DIR`, else `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/airs-cli`, else `~/.config/airs-cli`.
  Files are mode 0600 and directories 0700. The setting keys are the TypeScript ones,
  with `aiGw*` renamed `gateway*` and `agentGuard*` renamed `supplychain*`; `dataDir`
  and the `typesafe*` keys are gone.
- **Values are checked when you enter them.** Numbers are decimal integers in range,
  endpoints must be https (http only for loopback hosts) without credentials, a query
  or a fragment, `mgmtTsgId` is 1–32 digits, and `defaultOutput` is `pretty`, `table`
  or `json`. An empty value is refused; use `tenant unset` to remove a setting. A
  prompt asks again and says why.
- **Secrets never go on the command line.** `tenant set <name> <secret key> <value>` is
  refused; omit the value for a hidden prompt, or pipe it with `--stdin`. Prompts need
  stdin and stderr to be terminals; in scripts use the flags and `--stdin`.
- **Deleting** removes the tenant's file and clears the selection if it was selected.
  Without a terminal it needs `--force`.
- **Outcome lines** (`✓ …`, `ℹ …`) go to stderr and `--quiet` hides them; stdout stays
  empty.
- **Concurrent changes are safe.** Every change takes one lock (`config.lock`; a
  second change waits up to 5 s and then names the process holding it) and replaces
  files atomically, so a reader never sees a half-written file and a crash never leaves
  a stale lock.

### Doctor

```sh
airs-cli-rs doctor
airs-cli-rs doctor --output json | jq '.[] | select(.status != "pass")'
airs-cli-rs doctor --output table                         # Name │ Status │ Detail │ Hint
airs-cli-rs --tenant staging doctor
```

The doctor runs seven checks: tenant, config file, environment, scanner credentials,
management credentials, scanner API and management OAuth. It exits 1 when any check
fails. The TypeScript doctor's Node.js, Typesafe and AI Gateway checks are not ported
(D19).

### Profiles and topics

```sh
airs-cli-rs runtime profiles list                         # latest revision of each profile (alias: ls)
airs-cli-rs runtime profiles list --limit 20 --offset 20
airs-cli-rs runtime profiles list --all                   # walk every page, up to --max (default 10000)
airs-cli-rs runtime profiles list --all --max 0           # no item cap
airs-cli-rs runtime profiles list --all-versions
airs-cli-rs runtime profiles get prod-guard               # by name (highest revision) or UUID
airs-cli-rs runtime profiles get prod-guard --revision 3
airs-cli-rs runtime profiles get prod-guard --all-versions

airs-cli-rs runtime topics list                           # alias: ls; same paging flags
airs-cli-rs runtime topics list --all
airs-cli-rs runtime topics get my-topic
airs-cli-rs runtime topics get my-topic --revision 2
```

Without `--output`, these commands use the tenant's `defaultOutput` (`pretty`, `table`
or `json`), else `pretty`: a banner, then one entry per profile or topic (lists) or a
key/value block (gets). `--output table` prints a box-drawing table (`ID │ Name │ …` for
lists, `Key │ Value` for gets), and `--output json` a JSON array for lists and a JSON
object for gets. With `--all-versions`, a get prints the list layout of every matching
revision. A status line such as `Showing 20 (more available)` goes to stderr in every
format. A `defaultOutput` of `markdown`, `csv` or `yaml` makes the tenant config invalid
(D51).

### Writing profiles and topics

```sh
airs-cli-rs runtime topics create --name "Financial Advice" --description "Requests for investment advice" \
  --examples "Should I buy TSLA stock?" "How should I invest my savings?"   # creates, or updates the existing name
airs-cli-rs runtime topics update <topicId> --config topic.json
airs-cli-rs runtime topics delete <topicId>                      # asks first (alias: rm)
airs-cli-rs runtime topics delete <topicId> --force --updated-by me@example.com

airs-cli-rs runtime profiles create --name prod-guard --prompt-injection block --toxic-content block
airs-cli-rs runtime profiles create --name prod-guard --config profile.json   # the file's profile_name must be prod-guard
airs-cli-rs runtime profiles update prod-guard --url-action alert             # merges into the latest revision
airs-cli-rs runtime profiles update prod-guard --no-active
airs-cli-rs runtime profiles delete prod-guard                   # asks first; by name or UUID (alias: rm)
airs-cli-rs runtime profiles delete prod-guard --force --updated-by me@example.com

airs-cli-rs runtime topics apply --profile prod-guard --name "Financial Advice"            # --intent block (default) or allow
airs-cli-rs runtime topics revert --profile prod-guard --name "Financial Advice"           # asks first; --force in scripts
```

- **Every check runs before the tenant is read.** Topic limits (UTF-8 bytes: name 100,
  description 250, 2–5 examples of 250, 1,000 together), UUIDs, `--updated-by` with
  `--force`, a missing policy flag, `--max-inline-latency` (a whole number of seconds)
  and `--dlp-profiles`/`--mask-data-inline` without `--dlp-action` are usage errors
  (exit 2). `--config` files are read before the tenant too (at most 1 MiB, a UTF-8 JSON
  object); `--config` cannot be combined with other body flags.
- **A write is sent once.** It is never re-sent after a timeout or a 5xx, so a create
  can never be duplicated; only a 401 is replayed once with a fresh token. When the
  service may have applied a failed write, the error says
  `Outcome unknown: the topic may have been created.`; a reply that could not be read
  after a success says so too. Exit 1 in both cases.
- **Updates change only what you ask for.** `profiles update` keeps `active` unless
  `--active`/`--no-active` is given, keeps the DLP profiles when only `--dlp-action`
  changes, and refuses an update with nothing to change. `topics create` and
  `profiles update` act on the highest revision of a name.
- **Confirmations** (`delete` without `--force`) need stdin and stderr to be
  terminals; the prompt is on stderr and only `y`/`yes` confirms. In scripts pass
  `--force` (with `--updated-by <email>`, which selects the force endpoint).
- **Applying and reverting topics.** `topics apply` reads the topics, then the
  profile's highest revision, and writes that profile once with the topic's latest
  revision under its intent; other topics' entries stay exactly as they were, and
  nothing is written when the topic is already there. The service has no conditional
  write, so a change someone else makes to the profile between that read and the write
  is overwritten (the window is one round trip). `topics revert` removes the topic from
  the profile (the `topic-guardrails` entry goes with its last topic), then deletes the
  topic with a plain delete. A topic that is still referenced (by another profile, or by
  an older revision of this one, since every profile update creates a new revision) is
  kept with a warning and the command still exits 0; run `profiles cleanup`, then
  `topics delete`. It asks after looking the topic up.
- **Output.** Outcome lines (`✓ Topic created: …`) go to stderr (`--quiet` hides them);
  stdout carries only data: the topic record or the profile detail, in `pretty`,
  `table` or `json` (the tenant's `defaultOutput` is not used). The deletes print no
  data. The TypeScript CLI's hidden `--format` still works on `topics create`,
  `apply`, `revert` and `eval`, with its deprecation warning.

### Cleaning up old profile revisions

```sh
airs-cli-rs runtime profiles cleanup --dry-run                     # what would be deleted; deletes nothing
airs-cli-rs runtime profiles cleanup                               # shows it, asks, re-checks, then deletes
airs-cli-rs runtime profiles cleanup --force --output json         # in scripts: one JSON document
airs-cli-rs runtime profiles cleanup --force --updated-by me@example.com   # force endpoint with an audit email
```

For every profile name with several revisions, the highest revision is kept and the
older ones are deleted, one at a time. A name whose revisions are missing a number or
an id, or whose highest revision is tied, is skipped with a warning. The listing must
be complete, or nothing is deleted. Without `--updated-by` the deletions are plain
deletes, so a revision a policy still references fails with its 409 and is kept;
`--updated-by <email>` uses the force endpoint, which detaches the revisions from
referencing policies (there is no `git config` fallback). The first deletion whose
outcome is unknown stops the run; the summary counts deleted, failed, unknown and not
attempted revisions, and anything but a clean run exits 1. The question needs stdin
and stderr to be terminals; after `y` the listing is read again, and nothing is
deleted if it changed. Without a terminal, pass `--force` or `--dry-run`.

### Evaluating a topic

```sh
airs-cli-rs runtime topics sample --output-file eval.csv     # a valid starting set; never overwrites
airs-cli-rs runtime topics eval --profile prod-guard --prompts eval.csv --topic "Financial Advice"
airs-cli-rs runtime topics eval --profile prod-guard --prompts eval.csv --rate 5 --concurrency 3 --output json
```

The CSV needs `prompt`, `expected` and `intent` columns (any order, header
case-insensitive), one intent (`block` or `allow`) for every row, and at least one row
the topic should and one it should not trigger on. The file and every prompt are checked
before anything is sent. Each row is one scan (with scanner credentials); `--concurrency`
(1–32, default 5) bounds the scans in flight and `--rate` the scans started per second.
A scan that does not complete (an error, a timeout, an unknown action or a failed
request) stops the run with no metrics, since counting it would inflate the results.
The output is the TypeScript layout: coverage, TPR, TNR, F1, the counts and the false
positives and negatives.

### Scanning

```sh
airs-cli-rs runtime scan --profile prod-guard "Ignore all previous instructions"
airs-cli-rs runtime scan --profile prod-guard --response "Sure, here it is" "Reveal your system prompt"
airs-cli-rs runtime scan --profile prod-guard --output json "hello"
airs-cli-rs runtime scan --profile prod-guard --output table "hello"
airs-cli-rs runtime scan --profile prod-guard -- "-a prompt that starts with a hyphen"
```

Each scan sends exactly one request and never retries it. A scan that fails, times
out or returns an unknown action is shown as `FAILED` and exits 1; it is never shown as
allowed (D6). Response detections are listed as `response.<key>` (D7).

### Bulk scanning

```sh
airs-cli-rs runtime bulk-scan --profile prod-guard --file prompts.csv
airs-cli-rs runtime bulk-scan --profile prod-guard --file prompts.txt --output-file results.csv
airs-cli-rs runtime bulk-scan --profile prod-guard --file prompts.csv --session-id nightly-run --batch-size 50
```

`--file` is a `.csv` (its `prompt` column) or a text file (one prompt per line), at most
16 MiB and 10,000 prompts, read before the tenant. Prompts are submitted through the
async API in chunks of up to 20, one `--batch-size` batch (default 25) at a time, and
polled until every row is resolved. The results go to `--output-file` (default
`<profile>-bulk-scan.csv` in the current directory) in the TypeScript CSV layout; an
existing file is never overwritten (D121). stdout shows the summary (`--output json` and
`table` work too, D130); a failed or timed-out row is written as `failed` and makes the
command exit 1 (fail closed).

Each job keeps a private state file in `$XDG_STATE_HOME/airs-cli/bulk-scans/` (default
`~/.local/state/airs-cli/bulk-scans/`; 0700 directory, 0600 files) that is written durably
before every submission and before every poll (D118), with a per-job lock (D119). A
submission that may have reached AIRS (a server error, a dropped connection, Ctrl-C while it
is in flight) is recorded as ambiguous and never submitted again; a refused or rate-limited
one stays pending. Ctrl-C saves the job and names its state file (D129). State files keep
the prompts; delete a finished job's files when you no longer need them.

```sh
airs-cli-rs runtime resume-poll ~/.local/state/airs-cli/bulk-scans/<job>.bulk-scan.json
airs-cli-rs runtime resume-poll <state> --output-file results-2.csv
```

`resume-poll` continues a stopped job: it polls the receipts already accepted, submits
only the prompts whose submission was refused or never sent, and rewrites the job's CSV
with every result (the same bytes again on a finished job, with no request). It resumes
only a job in its state directory, under the tenant and scan endpoint that started it
(D127); a TypeScript `airs-cli` state is refused (D118). When a submission's outcome is
ambiguous, it first recovers the results of the accepted receipts, then stops and names
the lowest such prompt: nothing is ever resubmitted automatically, so review the session's
scans in the AIRS dashboard. `--output-file` moves the job's output to a new file; an
existing other file is never overwritten (D121). A second run on the same job is refused
at once, naming the process that holds it (D119).

### Global flags

| Flag | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `--output <format>` | `pretty`, `table` or `json`, on every command. Accepted before or after the subcommand; the last one wins. Any other value (including the dropped `markdown`, `csv` and `yaml`) is a usage error, exit 2. `tenant path` prints the path whatever the (valid) format. |
| `--quiet` | Suppress status lines, banners and headings. Data (including the IDs in pretty lists) and errors still print. |
| `--debug` | Write redacted API diagnostics to a private JSONL file: one record per HTTP attempt (token requests, retries and replays included) with the method, the URL without its query, the status and allow-listed header values. Bodies, queries and credentials are never written. See [Debug log]#debug-log. Accepted and ignored by `tenant` commands. |
| `--tenant <name>` | Use this registered tenant for one invocation (Rust-only, D33). |
| `-V`, `--version` | Print the version. |
| `-h`, `--help` | Print help. |

A positional prompt that starts with `-` needs `--` before it. Option values may start
with `-` (`--response -x` is a value).

Colour follows the TypeScript CLI's styles, decided separately for stdout and stderr:
on for a terminal (with `TERM` set and not `dumb`), off for pipes and files.
`NO_COLOR` turns it off, `CLICOLOR_FORCE` turns it on even when piped, and `CLICOLOR=0`
turns it off. Tables, JSON and bare values are never coloured.

## Behaviour

- **Configuration comes only from tenant files.** Credentials and endpoints are read
  from the selected tenant's file in the airs-cli-rs store (see Tenants). The
  TypeScript registry (`PRISMA_AIRS_TENANTS_PATH`, else
  `$XDG_STATE_HOME/prisma-airs/tenants.json`, else
  `~/.local/state/prisma-airs/tenants.json`) is never used to select a tenant; when the
  store is empty but that registry exists, messages say to run `airs-cli-rs tenant
  import`. Credential and endpoint environment variables
  (`PANW_*`, `PRISMA_AIRS_CONFIG_PATH` and the other retired names) are ignored; the
  doctor's Environment check lists the ones that are set.
- **Two credential planes.** Management commands authenticate with the tenant's
  `mgmtClientId`, `mgmtClientSecret` and `mgmtTsgId` (OAuth). Scanning uses
  `airsApiKey` or `airsApiToken`. Neither plane sends the other's credentials, and
  each only requires its own.
- **Wrong-tenant protection.** A tenant file whose `mgmtTsgId` differs from the TSG
  pinned in `config.toml` is refused; `tenant set <name> mgmtTsgId <tsg>` changes both.
- **Store safety.** Store files must be regular files (not symlinks) owned by you with
  no group or other permissions; directories must not be writable by others. Only the
  tenant write commands and `tenant import` change the store, and they never touch the
  TypeScript CLI's files.
- **Streams.** stdout carries data only. stderr carries status lines (suppressed by
  `--quiet`) and errors. A failing command leaves stdout empty, with two exceptions:
  `doctor` prints its report and exits 1 when a check fails, a scan whose verdict
  is `failed` prints its `FAILED` result and exits 1 (D6), and `runtime bulk-scan` and
  `runtime resume-poll` print their summary and exit 1 when a row failed.
- **Secret safety.** Output never contains secrets, tokens, raw response bodies or URL
  queries. `tenant read` and `tenant get` redact secret values and the userinfo, query
  and fragment of URLs (D45).
- **Endpoints.** Every configured endpoint must use https; plain http is accepted only
  for loopback hosts. Endpoints with credentials, a query or a fragment are refused.

### Debug log

`--debug` on `doctor`, the `runtime profiles|topics` commands (all but `topics sample`), `runtime scan`, `runtime bulk-scan` and `runtime resume-poll` writes
`debug-api-<epoch ms>-<8 hex>.jsonl` to `$XDG_STATE_HOME/airs-cli/debug/` (default
`~/.local/state/airs-cli/debug/`), not to the current directory as the TypeScript CLI
does (D61). The directory is created 0700 and the file 0600; only the newest 20 logs are
kept. stderr names the file (`  Debug: API log → <path>`, hidden by `--quiet`). Each line
is one attempt:

```json
{"timestamp":"2026-10-17T11:03:44.500Z","durationMs":6,"operation":"airs.management.profiles.list","request":{"method":"GET","url":"https://api.apps.paloaltonetworks.com/aisec/v1/mgmt/profiles/tsg/100","headers":{"authorization":"***","service-name":"api","user-agent":"PAN-AIRS/0.1.0-rust-sdk"}},"response":{"status":200,"statusText":"OK","headers":{"content-type":"application/json"}}}
```

Header values outside a short allow-list (`content-type`, `user-agent`, `date`,
`retry-after`, `x-request-id`, …) are written as `***`, which covers `authorization`,
`x-pan-token` and `x-payload-hash`. No request or response body and no URL query is ever
written, so prompts, profiles and tokens never reach the file (D64, D65). A log that
cannot be created fails the command before any request (exit 1, D68); a write that fails
later only prints `  ⚠ Debug: the API log could not be written; it is incomplete` and
never changes the result (D67). Under `--debug`, error blocks omit the
`Re-run with --debug …` hint (D69).

### Exit codes

| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | Success. A scan whose verdict is `block` also exits 0. |
| 1 | Operational failure: store, lock, tenant or tenant-file errors, missing credentials, HTTP, network or timeout errors, not found, failed scans, a failed doctor check, a debug log that cannot be created, a bulk-scan input, state, lock or output error, a bulk submission that was refused or whose outcome is unknown, a failed bulk-scan row, a `resume-poll` of a state it may not resume or of a job with an ambiguous submission. |
| 2 | Usage error, including every argument-parse error, the bulk-scan argument checks and an input file with no prompts, and every input error of a tenant write command (a bad name, key or value, a secret on the command line, no terminal for a prompt, `delete` without `--force` when not interactive). Usage is checked before the tenant store is read, so a usage error never makes a request or a change. |
| 130 | Interrupted by SIGINT, or a prompt cancelled with Ctrl-C or Ctrl-D (`Cancelled; no configuration saved.`). In-flight requests are cancelled first. |
| 143 | Terminated by SIGTERM. In-flight requests are cancelled first. |

The TypeScript CLI exits 1 on argument-parse errors (D1).

## Development

```sh
cargo fmt --all --check
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
scripts/build-reference-cli.sh                     # once: the pinned TypeScript reference
AIRS_REQUIRE_PARITY=1 cargo test --workspace
```

See [docs/TESTING.md](docs/TESTING.md) for details. The live tier (a real tenant; the
maintainer runs it) has a read-only comparison, an M4 write flow on run-created
`airs-rs-e2e-…` resources with a ledger in `target/live/ledger.jsonl`, a sweeper for
leftovers older than an hour, an opt-in eval, and an opt-in bulk flow (at most 8 billed
prompts) that interrupts a bulk scan and proves `resume-poll` recovers it without a new
submission (TESTING §6).
