memstead-cli 0.15.0

//! Clap derive for the `memstead` binary, lifted out of `main.rs` so
//! the xtask doc generator can call `Cli::command()` against the same
//! tree the binary exposes — no duplicated declarations, no drift.
//!
//! One crate, two build configs: the default (`mem-repo`) build
//! exposes the full command set including the multi-mem / mem-repo
//! lifecycle subcommands; `--no-default-features` drops those, leaving
//! the engine-agnostic surface.

use clap::{Parser, Subcommand};

use crate::commands;

/// Top-level `--help` epilog describing the exit-code posture. The
/// taxonomy is intentionally coarse — success vs failure — because
/// agents read JSON, not exit codes, and shell scripts can lift the
/// granular `code` from `--json | jq .code`.
///
/// Code 6 breaks that success/failure symmetry on purpose: it means the
/// measurement completed and the caller asked to be gated on what it
/// found. A CI job needs three outcomes, not two, and it cannot get the
/// third from a code that also means "the engine failed to boot". Keep
/// it exclusive to explicit opt-in gate modes — the moment a run that
/// FAILED returns 6, the distinction stops being worth anything.
///
/// The line is "did the measurement complete", not "was everything
/// well". An artifact the pass could not read is a finding: it was
/// observed and could not be adjudicated, which is an answer. An
/// unreadable anchors sidecar is not: nothing could be observed at all,
/// so verify refuses with `ANCHORS_SIDECAR_UNREADABLE` rather than
/// reporting every artifact uncovered — that was a live defect, found
/// 2026-08-21, where a corrupt file produced a red build blaming the
/// mem.
///
/// This string is the source the published reference renders from
/// (`docs-site/.../reference/cli/cli.md`, xtask-generated and
/// drift-gated). Editing the table here and not regenerating leaves the
/// published page asserting an exit-code space the binary no longer has.
pub const EXIT_CODES_HELP: &str = "\
Exit codes:
  0  success
  1  generic failure (catch-all for non-classified errors)
  2  usage error (clap argument-parse failure — unknown flag, bad value)
  3  not found (entity / mem / resource missing)
  4  hash mismatch (optimistic-locking failure on a mutation)
  5  validation / schema / policy refusal
  6  findings present — the measurement COMPLETED and recorded
     something you asked to be gated on
     (`projection verify --fail-on-findings`). A run that could not
     complete returns its own code above, so a CI job can tell \"the
     mem and its source disagree\" from \"the engine could not run\".
     An artifact the pass could not read is a finding, not an error:
     it was observed, and not being able to adjudicate it is the
     measurement's answer.

  For programmatic branching, prefer `--json` over the exit code:
    memstead <subcommand> ... --json | jq -r .code
  One caveat, and it bites exactly where code 6 matters: a gate-mode run
  that exits 6 emits TWO documents on stdout — the report, then the typed
  error. The recipe above reads only the first and prints `null`. Read the
  stream instead:
    memstead ... --fail-on-findings --json | jq -s -r '.[-1].code'
  The JSON envelope's `code` field carries the typed token
  (e.g. INVALID_TITLE, HAS_INCOMING_REFS, CROSS_MEM_LINK_NOT_ALLOWED)
  with structured recovery details under `.details`.";
