This repo had no CLI-surface drift gate. This adopts capability-sdk/pkg/clisurface so the documented cobra surface cannot silently drift from the live tree.

Same pattern as brutus#353 (merged), titus#355 (merged), and trajan#145.

The SDK pin

github.com/praetorian-inc/capability-sdk v0.0.0-20260908174325-de5f920e8132

That is the merge commit of capability-sdk#57 (tip of main when this was generated). capability-sdk has no tags yet; re-pinning to a tag later is ordinary maintenance.

The diff

  • The gate walks the live cobra tree, diffs it against committed goldens, and lints README (plus CONTRIBUTING/SECURITY where present) and Go comments.
  • make cli-docs regenerates docs/cli-surface.json, docs/CLI.md, and the generated README regions.
  • .github/workflows/cli-surface.yml runs on every PR (no paths: filter). Uses a sha256 manifest as the did-not-write backstop.
  • Release config ships docs/cli-surface.json as a release asset where goreleaser exists.

Adopts capability-sdk/pkg/clisurface so the documented cobra surface
cannot silently drift from the live tree.

No critical issues — LGTM pending human review.

Tests not run: the sandbox is read-only, and go could not create /home/runner/go for its module cache.

Claude Review

Critical issues

None.

Security

  • New capability-sdk dependency is imported only from pkg/runner/cli_surface_test.go (test-only), so it does not enter the shipped binary; it is pinned to a pseudo-version merge commit as the PR body explains. No runtime or network surface added.
  • Workflow follows good hygiene: SHA-pinned actions, persist-credentials: false, minimal contents: read permissions, and a sha256 backstop verifying the gate never writes goldens.

Test coverage

Tests are present — the change is itself the drift-gate test plus goldens; TestCLISurface, TestCLISurfaceDocLint, and TestCLISurfaceGateDetectsRename cover diff, lint, and rename detection.

No critical issues — LGTM pending human review.

P2 Badge Materialize Cobra's version flag before walking

When generating or checking the surface, setting rootCmd.Version alone does not register Cobra's lazily initialized --version flag; registration occurs when the command executes. The committed allowlist explicitly acknowledges this timing, and the resulting JSON and CLI reference omit an option the shipped binary accepts, so changes to that option can pass the drift gate. Initialize the default version flag before calling clisurface.Walk.

P2 Badge Include the repository's other CLI documentation in lint scope

When a flag is renamed and the generated artifacts plus README are updated, this configuration still lets stale references in AGENTS.md and docs/agents/architecture.md pass because LintRepo is given only README.md. Both excluded files contain user-facing CLI invocations or flag guidance, so the new drift workflow does not cover the repository documentation it is intended to protect; add those Markdown files to the configured lint scope.

Walkthrough

The change adds a CLI surface manifest and generated reference documentation. New tests compare Cobra commands and flags with the manifest and lint CLI references. A Makefile target regenerates the artifacts. A GitHub Actions workflow enforces the checks and detects documentation changes. The README links to the CLI reference, and GoReleaser includes the manifest in release artifacts.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f2ff5

The CLI documentation gate and regeneration workflow still have unresolved correctness and reproducibility problems that can block valid changes or leave users with incomplete references. Resolve these before merging.

Restore rootCmd.Version after each CLI-surface test.

rootCmd is package-level, and readyRoot changes its empty Version to "dev" without cleanup. Later version-sensitive tests can observe this value through Cobra. Capture the previous value and restore it with t.Cleanup; update the three call sites to readyRoot(t). docs/cli-surface.json contains only schemaVersion=1, so no embedded version mismatch exists.

Anchor the -run pattern to the writer.

The unanchored pattern runs TestCLISurface, TestCLISurfaceDocLint, and TestCLISurfaceGateDetectsRename. Go preserves their source order. If that order changes, TestCLISurfaceDocLint can report stale flags from README.md before TestCLISurface rewrites it, so make cli-docs exits before regeneration.

Align the generated README promise with the CLI surface. cmd/pius/main.go exposes pius --version through runner.SetVersion, but TestCLISurface walks the Cobra tree before execution, so the generated docs/CLI.md intentionally omits this runtime-added flag. Update the generator template to qualify the promise, or extend the generated surface and gate to include --version; editing README.md alone will be overwritten.
