memstead_cli/
lib.rs

1//! Memstead CLI library — the command modules, utility modules, and
2//! the shared `CliError` behind the `memstead` binary (`src/main.rs`).
3//!
4//! One crate, two build configs. The default build (`mem-repo`
5//! feature on) is the full `memstead`: every subcommand, including the
6//! multi-mem / mem-repo lifecycle (mem, workspace, install,
7//! batch-update, recover). `--no-default-features` drops the git-branch
8//! backend and the mem-repo-only subcommands, yielding the lean
9//! engine-agnostic surface (a CI / wasm-adjacent config, not shipped).

23/// Stable wire token for genuinely-systemic failures the agent can't
24/// recover from (I/O panic, store corruption, unreachable branch).
25/// The `code` field is non-optional, so this constant exists for
26/// callsites that explicitly choose it — defaulting to it is not
27/// possible. Adding a new callsite using this constant should carry a
28/// comment explaining why no recoverable typed code applies.
29pub const INTERNAL_CODE: &str = "INTERNAL";
30
31/// Argument-validation refusal: mutating commands require one of
32/// `--auto-hash`, `--expected-hash`, or `--force`. The typed code lets
33/// agents branch on the wire token rather than parsing the message.
34pub const HASH_FLAG_REQUIRED_CODE: &str = "HASH_FLAG_REQUIRED";
35
36/// `memstead init <target>` refusal: target directory is non-empty (the
37/// init refuses to scribble over existing files / pre-existing
38/// workspaces).
39pub const TARGET_NOT_EMPTY_CODE: &str = "TARGET_NOT_EMPTY";
40
41/// `memstead overview --chunk <N>` refusal: requested chunk index is
42/// beyond the actual chunk count.
43pub const CHUNK_OUT_OF_RANGE_CODE: &str = "CHUNK_OUT_OF_RANGE";
44
45/// `memstead init` refusal: ancestor walk found an existing
46/// `.memstead/workspace.toml` above the target. Without this guard a
47/// standalone init would silently nest a fresh filesystem-mem
48/// workspace inside an existing one, with neither workspace aware of
49/// the other.
50pub const WORKSPACE_ALREADY_EXISTS_ABOVE_CODE: &str = "WORKSPACE_ALREADY_EXISTS_ABOVE";
51
52/// `memstead install <archive>` refusal: archive failed strict
53/// validation (any of the variants the strict-archive validator can
54/// produce).
55pub const ARCHIVE_VALIDATION_FAILED_CODE: &str = "ARCHIVE_VALIDATION_FAILED";
56
57/// Typed CLI error that carries an exit-code kind, a stable
58/// `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE` code (matching `EngineError::code()` for
59/// engine-sourced errors), and an optional structured details payload.
60/// Wrap with `anyhow::Error` via `.into()` or `map_err` to propagate up
61/// to `main`, which renders the error through
62/// [`output::print_cli_error`] in the documented `{code, message, details}`
63/// shape (or `memstead: ERROR [<CODE>]: <message>` on the text channel).
64///
65/// `code` is non-optional, so every construction site spells the wire
66/// token — there is no `Option`-default-to-`INTERNAL` fallback that
67/// could leak `INTERNAL` when a callsite forgets to set it.
68/// Engine-sourced errors capture `EngineError::code()` via
69/// [`CliError::from_engine_op`]; setup-layer paths pin their own typed
70/// token at construction time.
71///
72/// `details` is the structured recovery payload — e.g. `HashMismatch`
73/// populates `{"current": "<hash>"}` so scripts can lift the recovery
74/// hash without re-reading the entity. The renderer surfaces it under
75/// the `details` key of the JSON envelope.
