polydup 0.8.1

Cross-language duplicate code detector - find copy-pasted code across JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and Rust
# PolyDup CLI - Implementation Summary

## Overview

Implemented a complete command-line interface for PolyDup using **clap** for argument parsing and **anyhow** for error handling.

## Features Implemented

### Command-Line Arguments

**Required:**
- `paths`: List of files/directories to scan (accepts multiple paths)

**Optional flags:**
- `--format` (`-f`): Output format (`text` or `json`), default: `text`
- `--threshold` (`-t`): Minimum code block size in tokens, default: `50`
- `--similarity` (`-s`): Similarity threshold (0.0-1.0), default: `0.85`
- `--verbose` (`-v`): Show detailed performance metrics
- `--help` (`-h`): Display help information
- `--version` (`-V`): Display version

### Error Handling

**Input Validation:**
- Similarity threshold must be between 0.0 and 1.0
- Minimum block size must be greater than 0
- All errors use `anyhow` with context for clear error messages

**Graceful Failures:**
- Non-existent paths: Scans 0 files, reports no duplicates (no crash)
- Invalid configurations: Clear error messages with exit code 1

### Output Formats

**Text Format (Human-Readable):**
```
Scan Results
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Files scanned:      4
Functions analyzed: 45
Duplicates found:   0

No duplicates found!
```

With duplicates:
```
 Duplicates
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

1. Similarity: 89.2% | Length: 123 tokens
   ├─ src/file1.rs:42
   └─ src/file2.rs:78
```

**JSON Format (Machine-Readable):**
```json
{
  "files_scanned": 4,
  "functions_analyzed": 45,
  "duplicates": [],
  "stats": {
    "total_lines": 0,
    "total_tokens": 3665,
    "unique_hashes": 2666,
    "duration_ms": 8
  }
}
```

**Verbose Mode:**
- Adds pre-scan configuration summary
- Shows performance metrics (duration, tokens, hashes)
- Displays hash values for each duplicate

### Exit Codes

- **0**: Success (no duplicates found)
- **1**: Failure (duplicates found or error occurred)

Enables CI/CD integration where duplicate detection can fail builds.

## Architecture

### File Structure
```
crates/polydup-cli/
├── Cargo.toml          # Dependencies: clap, anyhow, serde_json, polydup-core
├── src/
│   └── main.rs         # CLI implementation (151 lines)
└── README.md           # User documentation
```

### Key Components

**1. Argument Parsing (clap)**
```rust
#[derive(Parser)]
struct Cli {
    paths: Vec<PathBuf>,
    format: OutputFormat,
    min_block_size: usize,
    similarity: f64,
    verbose: bool,
}
```

**2. Scanner Integration**
```rust
let scanner = dupe_core::Scanner::with_config(
    cli.min_block_size,
    cli.similarity
)?;

let report = scanner.scan(cli.paths)?;
```

**3. Output Formatting**
- `print_text_report()`: Human-readable output with formatting
- JSON: Direct serialization via `serde_json`

## Testing

### Build
```bash
cargo build --release -p polydup-cli
# Output: target/release/polydup
```

### Tests Performed
1. Help display: `polydup --help`
2. Version display: `polydup --version`
3. Text output: `polydup ./src`
4. JSON output: `polydup ./src --format json`
5. Verbose mode: `polydup ./src --verbose`
6. Parameter adjustment: `polydup ./src --threshold 30 --similarity 0.9`
7. Multiple paths: `polydup ./src ./lib`
8. Error handling: Invalid threshold, zero block size
9. Non-existent paths: No crash, clean output

### Performance
- 4 files, 45 functions: **8ms** (release build)
- 12 files, 105 functions: **10ms** (release build)

## Dependencies

```toml
[dependencies]
anyhow = "1.0"          # Error handling with context
clap = "4.5"            # CLI argument parsing with derive macros
serde_json = "1.0"      # JSON serialization
polydup-core = "0.1.0"     # Core duplicate detection engine
```

## Usage Examples

### Basic
```bash
polydup ./src
```

### Advanced
```bash
polydup ./src ./lib \
  --threshold 30 \
  --similarity 0.9 \
  --format json \
  --verbose > report.json
```

### CI/CD
```bash
if ! polydup ./src --threshold 100; then
    echo "❌ Duplicates detected!"
    exit 1
fi
```

## Design Decisions

### Why No Subcommands?
- Single responsibility: Scanning for duplicates
- Simpler UX: `polydup <paths>` vs `polydup scan <paths>`
- Can add subcommands later if needed (e.g., `polydup analyze`, `polydup report`)

### Why Text Default?
- Most common use case is human inspection
- JSON available for scripting/automation
- Matches common CLI tool conventions (git, cargo, etc.)

### Why Exit Code 1 for Duplicates?
- Enables fail-fast in CI/CD pipelines
- Treats duplicates as actionable issues
- Standard practice for linting/analysis tools

### Why Tokio Removed?
- Original implementation used `#[tokio::main]`
- Not needed: Scanner already uses Rayon for parallelism
- Simplified to synchronous `fn main()` → smaller binary, faster startup

## Future Enhancements

Potential improvements:
- [ ] Configuration file support (`.polyduprc.toml`)
- [ ] Watch mode for continuous scanning
- [ ] HTML report generation
- [ ] Git integration (scan changed files only)
- [ ] Ignore patterns (`.polydupignore`)
- [ ] Language filtering (`--lang rust,python`)
- [ ] Parallel scanning of multiple path groups
