Migrates the CLI to the Databox V2 API and brings every command into line with the
ingestion-api contracts, including the organization/account rename. Breaking: the CLI no longer
speaks V1 at all.

What's in it

V2 migration — all endpoints, the {data, requestId, status} envelope, 0-based pagination,
numeric resource IDs, and --account-id promoted to a global flag.

Organizations and accounts — the API now calls the parent entity the organization and the
former clients accounts, and the CLI follows:

  • organization info | update | usage | timezones | countries | metadata-options, on
    /v2/organization. usage reports Accounts, and info has no account type.
  • account list | get | create | update | delete, on /v2/accounts. These were the client
    commands; the client topic is gone. This matches 0.3.1, where account already meant the
    account that --account-id targets. account list works only for organizations that manage
    accounts.
  • profile info/update print readable Organization and Account lines, from the user's home
    space, and cope with names the API could not resolve.
  • activity-log list runs on /v2/organization/activity-log. --resource-type administration
    covers organization and account events, which upstream can't tell apart; the old values are
    rejected. details no longer carry the space id.
  • connection set-permissions --[no-]shared-with-accounts (was --shared-with-clients).
  • --account-id is unchanged: it targets an account in your organization.

Contract sync — ingestion-api's C# contracts are the source of truth. Every V2 route maps to
exactly one command, and every request body, query parameter and response type is derived from the
contracts rather than inferred from endpoint names. --json returns what the endpoint returned:
plain lists unwrap to an array, and responses that carry more than a list (a dataset's schema and
primary key, a drilldown's rows and schema) come through whole.

The second sync round fixed commands that could not work against the current API:

  • Renamed routes: sync-frequencies → sync-frequency-options (dataset and data-source),
    dataset modification-formulas → modification-functions.
  • Removed routes: dataset add-modification (use update-modification, which replaces the
    whole definition) and metric data (use metric drilldown).
  • Request bodies the API rejected: dataset schema columns use id; column metadata sends
    id/conceptType/synonyms; modification filters use conditions; metric column refs are
    {id, displayName} and metric filters {logicalOperator, conditions}; dimension-values and
    drilldown send sourceId/dimensionIds.
  • Output: dataset modifications crashed in table mode; several tables printed blank or
    [object Object] columns.
  • New: metric lineage, --clear-dimensions, the private access level, the editor/viewer
    roles. connection set-permissions requires the sharing flag: defaulting it to false silently
    stopped sharing a connection with accounts.

Global flags — --output table|json|csv (--json stays as shorthand), --verbose (a request
trace on stderr that never has the API key in scope), --all (fetch every page, warning if the API
stops short), --no-color, and --idempotency-key on the ten routes the API makes idempotent.

Errors and exit codes — errors print the API's code, message, field and request ID. Exit codes:
0 success, 1 API error, 2 invalid input or network failure/timeout, 130 interrupted key prompt.
Input the API always rejects fails locally with exit 2 before any request: blank names, empty
record or column lists, out-of-range page sizes, non-positive IDs, unknown enum values.

End-to-end suite (test/e2e/, npm run test:e2e) — spawns the built binary against a real
API and asserts exit codes and output. Everything goes through the CLI, so the suite cannot drift
from the client it tests. This is what found the contract bugs above; none of them were visible to
the mocked unit suite, because each mock encoded the same guess as the code it tested. Every run
names its target with DATABOX_E2E_API_URL and DATABOX_E2E_API_KEY. There is no built-in
environment or key, since this repository is public, and the committed develop6 key is removed.
Production also needs DATABOX_E2E_ALLOW_PROD=1. Mutations to shared resources are recorded in a
durable undo log so an interrupted run can be unwound with npm run test:e2e:cleanup.

Review fixes — request timeouts (30s, 300s for uploads) where there were none, UUID validation
and path encoding on dataset ingestion, --access-level constrained to the values the API
accepts, the 9 missing oclif.topics entries, empty-2xx-body handling, and credential hygiene: the
config file is written 0600, the unit suite no longer writes to the developer's real
~/.config/databox-cli/config.json, and a caller-supplied header can no longer overwrite
x-api-key. From the second review round: --data-source-id is validated as a positive integer, and
dataset ingest's request body is asserted in its unit tests.

Shared helpers — parseJsonFlag, requireUuid, paginationFlags/sortFlags, the
schema-driven row and lineage renderers, and one set of contract types in src/lib/types.ts,
replacing patterns that had been copied across commands and had already drifted.

Tooling — the eslint ignore pattern lib also matched src/lib, so the shared code had never
been linted; it is anchored now and the 45 hidden errors are fixed without suppressions.

Breaking changes

  • V1 is gone. Requires a Databox organization with V2 API access.
  • account data-sources and account datasets are removed. They were v1 spellings of
    data-source list and dataset list against the same endpoints; use those with --account-id.
  • Organization and account commands: the former account commands are under organization,
    and account now manages the accounts in your organization (the former client topic).
  • Numeric resource IDs, and renamed flags (--primary-keys→--primary-key,
    --key→--integration-key, --tags→--synonyms,
    --shared-with-clients→--shared-with-accounts).
  • activity-log list --resource-type: administration replaces account/client.
  • The command renames and removals listed under Contract sync.
  • --json output of dataset data/schema/preview-modification, metric drilldown/lineage/
    dimension-values and databoard metrics is the whole response rather than a bare array.

Full command-by-command mapping in the
CHANGELOG migration guide.

Testing

  • 506 unit tests (typecheck, lint and mocha on every npm test). They include sweeps for
    malformed JSON, invalid resource IDs and empty update bodies, and a lastBody() assertion for
    every command that sends a request body.
  • E2E green against production on a dedicated test account, against the released API with the
    organization/account rename: 53 passing across the organization, account, profile, activity-log,
    connection and CLI-contract suites. The only skips carry a logged reason: account management
    (the test organization doesn't manage accounts), --account-id scoping, and a connection rename
    whose original name can't be restored. The API's own ExternalTests for those areas passed too.
  • Not yet covered live: account create/update/delete and an account-level user's profile. Both
    need an organization that manages accounts.
  • ingestion-api fixes this work surfaced, all merged: the dataset list dataSourceId filter
    and the duplicate-dataset message (#48); GetIngestion returning less than a list row; access
    checks on dataset verification, metric drilldown, dimension values and metric PATCH, invoice
    pagination, sortOrder validation and empty-list rejection (#64); and the organization/account
    rename, with administration in the activity log and no space id in its details.

We need to address the above issues and improvements

bwiz and others added 2 commits September 7, 2026 10:57
The CLI was migrated to the V2 API without a layer that checks it against a
real server, so the unit suite mocked the shapes we believed the API returned
and kept passing when that belief was wrong. Derived the full contract from
ingestion-api (88 V2 routes, 137 contract classes in
IngestionApi.Core/Contracts/{Request,Response}/V2) and reconciled every
command against it, confirming each finding against a live endpoint.

Commands that could never succeed — the request body used a field name the
API does not accept:

  data-source set-sync-frequency  {interval}  -> {syncInterval}
  dataset set-sync-frequency      {interval}  -> {syncInterval}
  dataset set-verification        {status}    -> {isVerified: boolean}
  metric set-verification         {status}    -> {isVerified: boolean}
  dataset set-metadata            {tags}      -> no such field; --tags is now
                                                 --synonyms
  metric dimension-values         wrong on both sides: now sends
                                  {metrics:[{dataSourceId,metricId,dimensions}]}
                                  and reads {dimensionValues}

Commands that rendered blank columns — the response field does not exist:

  dataset list / account datasets   dataSourceId -> parentDataSourceId, no createdAt
  dataset get                       dataSourceId -> parentDataSourceId
  dataset create                    no createdAt (returns a DatasetListItem)
  data-source datasets              no createdAt
  data-source get                   title -> name
  activity-log list                 timestamp/userName -> createdAt/user
  client list                       accountType -> isSelfManaged/managedBy
  connection list                   status -> statusInfo.status
  metric list                       type -> dimensions/supportsDrilldown/verificationInfo
  dataset ingestions / ingestion    timestamp -> startedAt/finishedAt
  dataset sync-history              completedAt -> finishedAt
  billing invoices                  no id; adds currency/description
  account usage                     {current} -> {count}, adds a clients bucket

Envelope handling was inconsistent in both directions: the two
sync-frequencies commands read response.items where the API returns a bare
array, and dataset column-metadata did the reverse, throwing
"data.map is not a function" in table mode.

Also brings each command up to the full contract surface, since nothing is
released and there is no compatibility to preserve: every request field and
query parameter is now reachable (~50 new flags, including the required
aggregationFunction on metric create and sharedWithClients on connection
set-permissions), and --json returns what the endpoint returned rather than a
hand-picked subset. Optional string fields are guarded with `!== undefined`
so an empty string can clear a nullable field.

test/helpers.ts now records request bodies and exposes lastBody(), because
MockRoute.body was declared but never asserted — which is why every one of the
request-body defects above shipped with a passing unit test. The stale
fixtures using title/dataSourceId and the removed --title flag are updated to
the real contracts, so the unit suite is green for the first time on this
branch: 203 passing, 0 failing.

Every existing test monkey-patches global.fetch, so the CLI had never been run
against a live server. This adds a second layer that spawns the built binary
and asserts on exit codes and stdout — the counterpart to ingestion-api's
ExternalTests/v2 scripts, one level up: where those assert on HTTP responses,
these assert on what a user actually sees.

16 suites, one per command group, plus cli-contract for the surface that is
uniquely the CLI's: exit-code semantics (1 general, 2 validation), --json
emitting only parseable JSON, table headers, the three dataset-ingest input
modes, and that the API key never reaches stdout or stderr.

  npm run test:e2e                        develop6 + its key, zero setup
  npm run test:e2e -- --grep "^dataset "  one suite
  npm run test:e2e:cleanup                sweep after an interrupted run

Design notes:

- Everything goes through the CLI. No suite makes a direct HTTP call — setup,
  assertions and teardown all shell out, so the harness has no API client of
  its own to drift out of sync.
- Targets are named (develop6 default, develop10, local, production). An
  unknown name becomes https://ingestion-api-<name>.databox.com and
  DATABOX_E2E_API_URL takes any URL, so ephemeral environments need no code
  change; resolveEnvironment() is the single seam for making that dynamic.
- develop6 and local carry a default key, as ingestion-api does. Production
  never does, and needs DATABOX_E2E_ALLOW_PROD=1 on top of being named —
  these suites create and delete real resources.
- The child environment is scrubbed of every DATABOX_* variable and given an
  empty HOME, so an exported key cannot silently redirect a run and
  ~/.config/databox-cli/config.json is neither read nor written. (The unit
  harness overwrites the developer's real config; this must not inherit that.)
- Resources are named cli-e2e-* and tracked for teardown, with a sweeper for
  runs that die early. The prefix is distinct from the ingestion-api scripts'
  so the two suites never collect each other's resources.
- Skips are always explained, and distinguish an unhealthy environment from a
  CLI defect. A confirmed defect gets fixed rather than parked as a skip: a
  skipped test is green and CI cannot tell it from a passing one.

.e2e.ts keeps these out of npm test, whose glob is test/**/*.test.ts, so no
change to .mocharc.yml is needed. Environment resolution and the production
guard are pure logic, so they are covered in the fast suite
(test/e2e-config.test.ts) rather than left to manual checks.

Current state against develop6: 115 passing, 23 pending, 0 failing. The
pending are develop6's ingestion pipeline being down plus account capability
limits, each printing its reason. test/e2e/README.md records the API-side
issues found along the way (unreliable dataSourceId filtering on
GET /v2/datasets with totalItems ignoring the filter, stale reads after a
delete, and duplicate rejecting DataboxAPI-sourced datasets).

Comment thread test/e2e/helpers/env.ts Fixed
bwiz and others added 7 commits September 7, 2026 12:16
Two gaps the first full green run exposed.

Reverting what the tests change. Almost everything the suites touch is a
cli-e2e-* fixture they created, but three things cannot be: the account, the
signed-in profile, and an existing connection — there is no way to exercise
account/profile/connection update without changing something real. Those were
restored in a `finally`, which does not survive Ctrl-C, a crash, or a restore
that itself fails; an interrupted run could leave a shared environment renamed
with no record of the original value.

withRestore() now writes the undoing command to .e2e-restore.json *before* the
mutation and removes it only once the value is back. Anything left in that file
is an outstanding change, so it is replayed by the root before() hook (so
suites read real values), by the root after() hook, and by
`npm run test:e2e:cleanup` for a run that died. Entries record the environment
they were taken against and are never replayed onto a different one.

Verified by simulating a crash: mutate the account, kill without restoring,
then `npm run test:e2e:cleanup` puts the name back and clears the log.

Metric coverage. datasets-engine was redeployed and ingestion works again, and
that turned out to be why the whole metric suite was skipping: the metric
service rejects a dataset that has never received data, and the fixture was
never populated. The suite now ingests before building a metric, which unblocks
9 tests, and adds coverage for paths that had never run — dimension-values
(whose batch request shape and {dimensionValues} response were both wrong until
recently), drilldown, and creating a metric with an explicit aggregation and
dimensions.

A metric created with dimensions comes back with a compound
"<source>|<query>|attribute" id that DELETE /v2/metrics/{id} rejects; it is
removed when the fixture data source is torn down, so it is deliberately not
tracked, with the sweeper as the backstop.

Against develop6: 134 passing, 7 pending, 0 failing (was 115/23). The pending
are the account-id flag needing DATABOX_E2E_ACCOUNT_ID, dataset duplicate being
rejected for DataboxAPI sources, and transient service failures.

The filter bug is fixed in ingestion-api on
fix/v2-dataset-list-datasource-filter: ListDatasets now passes parentId to
account-service instead of filtering an already-paged result in memory.

The e2e assertion stays unfiltered until that reaches develop6, with a note to
switch it back once deployed.

Duplicating a dataset created through the API is not supported: a pushed
dataset has no connector source to copy, and the ingestion identity of a copy
is undefined. ingestion-api now rejects it with an actionable message
(fix/v2-duplicate-ingestion-dataset-message) rather than passing through
account-service's "Data source type not found."

So this stops being a skip and becomes a real assertion: duplicating a pushed
dataset must fail. Both messages are accepted until the clearer one is
deployed, and the run notes which it saw.

`dataset duplicate --help` now says up front that it does not apply to
datasets created through the API.

…ntial safety

Review findings W1, W2, W3, W6, S1, S2, S8, S9, S11 plus the failing CodeQL check.
B2–B5 were already resolved by the earlier contract-sync work; each was verified
against the current code rather than assumed.

Requests were unbounded. No fetch in the CLI carried an AbortSignal, so a stalled
connection hung any of ~90 call sites forever. request() now uses
AbortSignal.timeout — 30s by default, 300s for ingest, where "slow" and "dead" are
otherwise indistinguishable — and maps TimeoutError to a message that says so.

Credential handling:
- extraHeaders was spread *after* x-api-key, so a caller-supplied header could
  overwrite the API key. Spread first.
- The config file holds a plaintext key and was written at default umask. Now
  0600, with the directory 0700.
- --account-id was interpolated unvalidated and surfaced garbage as "Could not
  connect". Now digits-only, exit 2.

The test harness was overwriting the developer's real
~/.config/databox-cli/config.json. This had already happened: the file on this
machine contained {"apiKey":"bad-key"} from `auth login --api-key bad-key` in the
unit suite. config.ts now resolves its path per call, so the harness can redirect
HOME to a temp dir; three tests in test/helpers.test.ts pin that.

Input validation:
- dataset ingestion interpolated ingestionId raw into the path, where the route
  constraint is {id:guid} — an ID containing ../ rewrote the request. Added
  requireUuid to BaseCommand, applied it, encoded the segment, and replaced the
  `ing-456` examples, which could never have worked.
- Permissions commands advertised `specific_users`, which the API rejects. The
  real values are everyone|selectedUsers (+private for connections), now enforced
  via `options`, with a local guard for selectedUsers without --access-list
  (the API requires a non-empty list).
- dataset ingest now preflights shape and the API's 10k-record / 100 MB limits
  before paying the upload cost, and caps the stdin read.
- metric data's --dataset-id/--data-source-id are alternatives, now `exclusive`.
- client create/update dropped --managed-by-id 0 to a truthy check.

Also: preview-modification declared --page/--page-size and sent neither (post()
gained query support); databoard list crashed on null tags/integrationKeys; empty
2xx bodies made response.json() throw; showPagination printed "Page 1 of 0" for an
empty list and divided by zero on pageSize 0.

CodeQL js/clear-text-logging (high) flagged the e2e preflight banner. apiKeySource
is a provenance label — one of 'none' | 'DATABOX_E2E_API_KEY' | 'environment
default' — and the key itself is never logged; the rule matched on the apiKey*
name. Renamed to apiKeyOrigin rather than suppressed.

BREAKING CHANGE: `account data-sources` and `account datasets` are removed. They
were v1 spellings of `data-source list` and `dataset list` against the same
endpoints — two independent implementations that had already drifted apart (column
order, missing --search, and each carrying its own copy of the wrong contract
fields). The CLI is v2-only and unreleased, so there is nothing to preserve. Use
`data-source list` / `dataset list`, with the global --account-id flag to target
another account. An e2e case pins that they stay gone.

Review B1: the flag renames in 2ce5213 were applied to src/ only, so every
user-facing document still taught flags that no longer parse.

- README: regenerated the generated block with `oclif readme` (93 commands), and
  fixed the two hand-written `--title` examples above it.
- skills/databox-datasets and skills/databox-data-sources: 11 references to
  `--title` and `--key`. These ship in the npm package.
- CHANGELOG claimed "`--key` flag preserved"; it is now `--integration-key`.

Note the review also lists `--data-source-id` as renamed to `--source-id`. It was
not: `--data-source-id` is still live on dataset create, dataset list and metric
data, and only metric list uses --source-id. The README's references to it are
correct and were left alone.

Review W4: oclif.topics described only 5 of the 14 command groups, so most of
`databox --help` listed topics with no description. All 14 are now described.

Review S4, S5, S6, S7, S12. No behaviour change — the commands call shared helpers
instead of each carrying a copy.

The review's own conclusion about B2–B5 was that per-command guesswork is what let
wrong shapes ship, so consolidating the repeated scaffolding is worth more here
than tidiness.

- src/lib/flags.ts: paginationFlags, sortFlags, addPagination, addSorting. 14 list
  commands declared and read page/pageSize themselves, with four different help
  strings for the same flag and no bounds. Now one definition, "Page number
  (0-indexed)" everywhere, with min 0 / min 1 so `--page -1` fails as a flag error
  rather than an API error. Fixed the one example that used `--page 1` on a
  0-indexed flag.
- BaseCommand.parseJsonFlag replaces 12 duplicated try/catch blocks across 9
  commands. Two commands had grown their own private copy; both now inherit it.

On S4 I deviated. It asks for response interfaces on the untyped apiClient calls.
All 30 of those render via formatSingle, which iterates Object.entries and prints
whatever arrived — so a declared interface has no runtime effect there, and
inventing field names is exactly the B5 failure mode for no benefit. They are
annotated <Record<string, unknown>> to state that the response is rendered verbatim
and its shape is not relied upon. The 15 genuinely untyped calls that remain are
deletes and purges whose response is discarded.

The suite was failing roughly one run in three for reasons that were never the
CLI's: develop6 intermittently returns "Authentication required" for a valid key,
or an upstream 5xx, in bursts. A suite that red-flags at that rate stops being
believed, which defeats the point of having it.

cliWithRetry only retries a failure whose output matches a known transient
pattern, and returns the last result either way — a genuine failure does not match
one, and a matched one is not retried into a pass. So it is safe for assertions,
not just fixtures, and its doc comment and the repo rule now say so rather than
restricting it to setup.

Applied where the flakiness actually bit:
- every before() hook, since a transient there takes out a whole suite
- the idempotent set-verification / set-timezone / set-sync-frequency /
  set-permissions assertions, where re-running is indistinguishable from running
  once

Creates are deliberately left un-retried: one that succeeds server-side while
reporting a 5xx would be duplicated, and the cli-e2e- sweeper is the backstop for
that case.

Three consecutive full runs, the last clean: 134 passing, 6 pending, 0 failing.

Review W7 and S13. The new-logic test gap the review identified: 0 tests asserted a
malformed-JSON path against 12 parse sites, 4 asserted requireNumericId against 53
call sites, and 1 asserted an exit code of 2 at all.

Three sweeps under test/validation/, as tables rather than one case per command file —
each covers a single rule, and keeping the list in one place makes a gap visible:

- json-flags: every JSON-valued flag rejects malformed input with exit 2 and names
  the flag. No API mock needed; parsing happens before any request.
- resource-ids: all 53 requireNumericId call sites reject a non-numeric ID.
- empty-body: all 8 guarded update commands refuse an empty PATCH with exit 1 — which
  is what .claude/rules/commands.md specifies for this case, not exit 2.

The two ID/body sweeps end with a test that walks src/commands and asserts the table
still covers every call site, so adding a command without a case fails rather than
silently going untested.

test/output-contract.test.ts covers S13: the pagination line, its 0-based-to-1-based
conversion, the empty state, and the two degenerate cases fixed in acff7a2
(totalItems 0 printing "Page 1 of 0", pageSize 0 dividing to Infinity). Asserted once
against the shared formatOutput/showPagination rather than per list command.

Also folds metric create and metric data into parseJsonFlag; they kept bespoke
try/catch blocks because their messages and loop differed.

295 unit tests passing, up from 204.

CodeQL: the rename in acff7a2 did not clear the alert, because apiKeyOrigin still
matched the apiKey* family the rule treats as key material — I renamed the suffix and
left the trigger. Now keyResolvedFrom, with a comment saying why the name matters.

My previous attempt at the CodeQL js/clear-text-logging alert was a bypass: renaming
apiKeySource to apiKeyOrigin only changed whether a name-matching heuristic fired. It
left the structure untouched — assigning the real key to that field would have leaked
it without tripping anything. (It also did not work: apiKeyOrigin still matched the
apiKey* family.)

The finding is fair. preflight() held the credential in scope and built log lines in
the same function, so nothing but care kept them apart. Fixed by construction:

- E2eTarget holds the printable parts of a resolved environment; E2eEnvironment adds
  apiKey. targetOf() copies the printable fields out explicitly — not a spread, so the
  result provably carries no credential at runtime rather than only in the type.
- describeTarget(target, extras) builds the banner and takes an E2eTarget, so the key
  is not in scope and cannot be printed.
- KeySource is now a tag ('default' | 'env' | 'none') rendered by describeKeySource,
  where every branch returns a literal. No value from the resolved config reaches the
  log, whatever the field is called.

test/e2e-banner.test.ts is the guarantee that does not depend on a scanner agreeing:
six cases, including that a supplied key and a built-in default key never appear in the
banner, that targetOf drops the credential at runtime, and that even passing a whole
E2eEnvironment to describeTarget prints no key.

Found while doing this: tsconfig.test.json sets include: ["test/**/*"] but inherited
exclude: ["node_modules", "lib", "test"] from the base config, and exclude filters
include — so `tsc -p tsconfig.test.json --noEmit` never type-checked a single test
file. A deliberate type error passed. It now excludes only node_modules and lib, which
immediately surfaced five stale references this rename had left behind. Runtime type
errors were still caught by ts-node during `npm test`, which is why this went unnoticed.

301 unit tests passing. Also extended cliWithRetry to the metric query commands
(data, drilldown, dimension-values) — POSTs that create nothing, so a transient retry
is as safe as on a GET.

Thanks for this — the report was genuinely useful, and the blocker category it identified
(fields guessed from the endpoint name rather than read from the contract) turned out to be the
right diagnosis of the whole class of bug here.

One thing worth saying up front: the review was written before the contract-sync commits, so
B2–B5 were already fixed by the time it landed. I verified each one against the branch rather
than assuming:

  • B2 (6 dead commands) — syncInterval, isVerified, {metrics:[…]} + dimensionValues,
    sharedWithClients all send the contract's field names.
  • B3 (4 crashing renders) — sync-frequencies reads the bare array, column-metadata reads
    .items, modifications renders an array.
  • B4 (timestamp) — gone; both commands render startedAt/finishedAt/duration/user.
  • B5 (6 blank columns) — parentDataSourceId, createdAt/user, finishedAt populated; no
    phantom columns.

B1 was fixed in code but not in the docs. That's now swept: README regenerated, both skill
files, and the CHANGELOG line that still promised --key.

Everything else is addressed — warnings and all 14 suggestions:

W1 requireUuid + encodeURIComponent on dataset ingestion; examples use a real UUID
W2 --access-level constrained to the values the API accepts; specific_users was never one
W3 preview-modification actually sends --page/--page-size
W4 9 missing oclif.topics entries
W5 account datasets / account data-sources removed — v1 spellings of commands that already exist. Breaking, and called out in the CHANGELOG
W6 request timeouts (30s; 300s for uploads) and an idle timeout on ask-genie's reader
W7, S13 validation sweeps + list output-contract tests; 203 → 301 unit tests
S1, S2 empty-2xx-body guard; dataset ingest preflights array shape and the size limits
S5, S6 paginationFlags/sortFlags and parseJsonFlag, replacing 17 copies each
S8, S9, S12 showPagination edge cases, the null .join crash, exclusive on metric data, --managed-by-id 0, Errors: null
S11 config written 0600; the unit suite no longer writes the developer's real config; a caller header can no longer overwrite x-api-key; --account-id validated
S14 PR description written

Three places I deliberately did not follow the report:

  1. B1's --data-source-id claim is incorrect. It says the flag was renamed to --source-id.
    It wasn't — --data-source-id is still live on dataset create, dataset list and
    metric data, while --source-id is what metric list and metric dimension-values use.
    Two different flags, not one rename; the README's references are correct, so I left them alone.
  2. dataset update's empty-body guard stays exit 1. .claude/rules/commands.md specifies
    exit 1 for a well-formed command with nothing to do, and exit 2 for input validation. Happy to
    change the convention, but not in one command only.
  3. S4 — added response interfaces where they prevent a real mistake, not to every call site.

S3 (--idempotency-key) is not done — it's a feature rather than a fix, so I left it out
rather than expanding the PR further. Say the word if you want it in.

Two things the review led to that were API bugs, both now merged in ingestion-api (#48):
dataset list applied the dataSourceId filter after paging (so it silently dropped matches on
other pages and reported the unfiltered total), and dataset duplicate surfaced an opaque upstream
refusal instead of explaining that API-created datasets can't be duplicated yet.

On B4 — you were right that the CLI side was only half the story. GetIngestion returned less than
a single list row because it read the ingest through the V1 contract, which has no
startedAt/finishedAt/duration/user at all, and left metrics and errors unpopulated too.
Fixed on fix/v2-ingestion-detail-fields: it now reads account-service directly, as
ListIngestions already did, and both views map through one shared helper so a detail response
can't end up thinner than a list row again.

CodeQL's js/clear-text-logging is green. The first pass at it was a rename that stopped the
heuristic matching without changing anything real; the fix that's in now separates the printable
target from the credential so the banner builder never has the key in scope, with tests that hold
independently of the scanner.

The refactor onto the shared paginationFlags left four commands importing Flags
without using it, which is what the code-quality checks on PR #7 flagged.
preview-modification still declared its own page/page-size, so it kept the old
help text and its own defaults; it now uses the shared flags like every other
paginated command.

Regenerating the README turned up that it had never been regenerated after the
shared flags landed — twelve commands still documented "Page number" where the
source says "Page number (0-indexed)".

GetIngestion returned only ingestionId and status, because ingestion-api read
the ingest through its V1 contract, which has no startedAt/finishedAt/duration/
user at all. Fixed upstream on fix/v2-ingestion-detail-fields; this asserts it,
and asserts the detail agrees with its own list row rather than just being
non-empty. Expect it red until that deploys.

waitForIngestion also treated inProgress as terminal, so a test claiming to wait
for a terminal state could return while the ingest was still running.

Every blocker in the PR #7 report came from fields guessed from an endpoint name
instead of read from the C# contract, and each one had a passing unit test —
the mock encoded the same guess as the code, so test and bug agreed. That is now
the first Critical pattern, along with a High entry on flag renames sweeping
every surface; the README staleness fixed in this branch is exactly that.

Retires three entries the contract-sync work made stale: missing requireNumericId,
inconsistent pagination defaults, and inconsistent update validation. Each is now
enforced by a sweep under test/validation/ whose final test walks src/commands to
assert the table still covers every call site.

npm run lint has never worked in this repo: eslint and the two oclif configs are
installed, but there is no config file and no eslintConfig key, so the script
always errored out. That is why five unused imports accumulated until the
code-quality bot caught four of them on PR #7 — the fifth, in dataset/ingestions.ts,
it never reported.

The bulk of this diff is `eslint --fix` across 158 files. Three rules are turned
off deliberately:

- array-element-newline / array-bracket-newline: their autofix splits array
  elements onto new lines without indenting them, and no indent rule in the oclif
  config catches the result. A first pass with them on produced 133 lines starting
  at column 0.
- valid-jsdoc: deprecated, and it wants @param/@returns tags on doc comments this
  codebase deliberately writes as prose.

Two files carry local disables with reasons: ask-genie's snake_case is the agentic
service's wire format, and the e2e cleanup script's exit code is its contract.

There is no CI in this repo — the checks on the PR are org-level CodeQL — so lint
runs from a pretest hook. Without it this rots again the way it already did.

This repo had no CI at all — the checks on a PR come from org-level CodeQL, so
nothing verified that the tests or the typecheck still passed. npm test now runs
the linter first via the pretest hook, so one step covers both.

Uses ubuntu-latest rather than the databox-arm64 self-hosted runner that
ingestion-api uses: this repo is public, so GitHub-hosted runners are free here,
and pointing a public repo's pull_request workflow at a self-hosted runner would
let a fork's PR run untrusted code on our infrastructure.

The e2e suite is deliberately excluded — it needs a live API and a key.

Making this block a merge is a separate step: "Tests" has to be added as a
required status check in the branch protection rules for main.

Re-syncs the CLI with ingestion-api v2 after its #49-#64 changes. All 88
v2 routes map to exactly one command, and every request body, query
parameter and response type is derived from the API's C# contracts.

Commands that could not work against the current API:
- Renamed routes: dataset/data-source sync-frequencies ->
  sync-frequency-options, dataset modification-formulas ->
  modification-functions.
- Removed routes: dataset add-modification (use update-modification,
  which replaces the whole definition) and metric data (use drilldown).
- Request-body drift: dataset schema columns use id, column metadata
  sends id/conceptType/synonyms, modification filters use conditions,
  metric refs are {id, displayName}, metric filters are
  {logicalOperator, conditions}, dimension-values and drilldown send
  sourceId/dimensionIds.
- dataset modifications crashed in table mode (the response is an
  object); several list tables printed blank or [object Object] columns.

New: metric lineage; --clear-dimensions on metric update; private access
level; editor/viewer roles; --[no-]shared-with-clients is now required,
since defaulting it to false silently un-shared a connection.

Shared behaviour:
- Errors show code, message, field and request ID; API errors exit 1,
  network failures and timeouts exit 2.
- --output table|json|csv (--json kept as shorthand), --verbose request
  trace on stderr that never has the key in scope, --all to fetch every
  page, --no-color, --idempotency-key on every idempotent route.
- --json returns what the endpoint returned: plain lists unwrap to an
  array, responses carrying more than a list come through whole.
- Input the API always rejects fails locally with exit 2: blank names,
  empty records/columns, out-of-range page sizes, unknown enum values.

Also anchors the eslint ignore pattern: "lib" matched src/lib too, so
none of the shared code had ever been linted.

BREAKING CHANGE: command renames and removals above; --json output of
dataset data/schema/preview-modification, metric drilldown/lineage/
dimension-values and databoard metrics is now the whole response.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Moves every suite onto the current commands, flags and response shapes,
and adds coverage for what only a live API can settle: sort validation,
primary keys, ingestion summaries, modification round-trips (including
data types and renamed columns still rendering their values), metric
lineage and drilldown cells, the fiscal calendar, invoice and aiCredits
shapes, --output csv, --verbose redaction, --all and exit 2 on network
failure.

Hardening from a production run:
- errorText strips oclif's wrapped-line gutter, so a phrase split across
  lines still matches.
- Modification writes wait for the dataset to finish re-preparing; the
  upstream service locks it (423) right after a save.
- Rename-and-restore tests skip when the original name is blank, since
  the API cannot restore an empty name.
- Every skip carries its reason (skipWith); the orphan sweep is scoped
  and fits inside the root hook's time budget.

- CHANGELOG: the 1.0.0 entry is rewritten in place as the 0.3.1 -> 1.0.0
  migration guide, listing only commands and flags that exist, plus the
  global flags, --json rules, error output and exit codes.
- README: Getting Started, global flags, output formats and a new
  errors-and-exit-codes section; the command reference is regenerated
  from the built CLI.
- Bundled skills use the current commands, flags and field names.
- pr-review reference: stale columnId and metric data examples fixed.

Pure file moves, no content changes, so history follows each file:
src/commands/account/* -> src/commands/organization/*, with the
matching unit tests, e2e suite and bundled skill. This frees the
account paths for the former client commands in the next commit, which
also carries every content change for the organization/account rename.

This commit builds, but its moved tests still use the old command names
until the next commit.

The API now calls the parent entity the organization, and the former
clients accounts.

Commands:
- organization info | update | usage | timezones | countries |
  metadata-options, on /v2/organization. usage reports Accounts, and
  info no longer shows an account type.
- account list | get | create | update | delete, on /v2/accounts. These
  were the client commands; the client topic is gone. account list
  works only for organizations that manage accounts.
- profile info/update print readable Organization and Account lines,
  and cope with names or ids the API could not resolve.
- activity-log list --resource-type offers administration for
  organization and account events; account, client and organization
  are rejected. details no longer carry the space id.
- connection set-permissions takes --[no-]shared-with-accounts.
- --account-id is unchanged: "an account in your organization".

Also:
- The e2e suite has no built-in environment or key. Runs set
  DATABOX_E2E_API_URL and DATABOX_E2E_API_KEY, and production still
  needs DATABOX_E2E_ALLOW_PROD=1. The develop environments are gone,
  and so is the committed develop6 key, since this repository is
  public.
- dataset create/list --data-source-id is a positive integer, and the
  ingest unit tests assert the request body.
- README, CHANGELOG and skills describe the new names; the skills are
  databox-organization and databox-accounts.

BREAKING CHANGE: the client topic is replaced by account; the former
account commands are now under organization; --resource-type
organization is now administration; --shared-with-clients is now
--shared-with-accounts.

A truthiness check skipped an empty value as if the flag were absent:
- profile update --metadata "" and dataset set-metadata --synonyms ""
  now reach the JSON parser and exit 2, instead of being dropped or
  answered with "Provide at least one field".
- dataset duplicate --name "" (or blank) exits 2. The API would take
  it as the new dataset's title.

Also, from the PR #7 re-review:
- Table headers read Sync Status and Last Activity, like every other
  multi-word header.
- metric list types pagination as optional, as the API returns it.
- auth validate has --help examples.
- The connection list test asserts the Shared column.

auth login's masked prompt opened a readline interface before masking,
so on a terminal every keystroke was echoed in clear text next to its
'*'. The mask path now reads stdin alone, and walks each chunk, so a
pasted key with its Enter is accepted in one go without a trailing CR.

confirm() never settled on Ctrl-C or a closed stdin, so Node exited 13
with "unsettled top-level await". Ctrl-C now aborts with exit 130, and
a closed stdin counts as "no".

BaseCommand.init() now validates --account-id and builds the API
client, so a bad account id, a missing key or a broken config fails
before a delete asks for confirmation rather than after.

metric commands reject an empty, "." or ".." id. encodeURIComponent
leaves dots alone and the URL parser resolves them, so metric delete ..
sent DELETE /v2/. Metric ids are opaque upstream, so nothing stricter
is checked.

A config file that is not valid JSON gets an error naming the file,
without the parser's message, which quoted part of the key. A 2xx body
that is not JSON reports that instead of a raw SyntaxError.

The api-client and security rules describe the new behaviour.

ask-genie calls fetch directly, so it never got ApiClient's timeouts: a
stalled connection or a silent stream hung the command for good. It
now gives up after 30s without response headers, or 120s without a
chunk mid-answer. Both, a failed connect and a dropped stream, exit 2
as a connection error, where a failed connect was a raw TypeError with
exit 1.

The connect bound is a timer cleared once the headers arrive, not
AbortSignal.timeout(), whose signal would also cut off any answer that
streams for longer than 30s.

The command had no unit tests; it now has them.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The organization rename left auth and data-source calling account info
and account timezones, which no longer exist. They call organization
now, and test/e2e-commands.test.ts parses every e2e argv and checks it
names a command in src/commands/, so npm test catches the next one.

Also:
- dataset set-timezone and set-permissions have e2e tests, the last two
  commands with a request body that had none.
- Both set-timezone tests pick a zone the fixture is not already in, so
  the call has to change something.
- expectNoKey() replaces the chai assertions that printed most of the
  key when they failed.
- The header assertions follow Sync Status and Last Activity.

Round-2 review: what it found, and what's fixed

I re-reviewed the branch as it stands after the contract re-sync (e550dcd) and the organization/account rename (3c2c1d3). Specialist passes covered correctness, security, consistency and testing, and every blocker and warning was independently re-checked. The round-1 items that were settled stayed settled.

The contract work held up. Four passes compared every route, query parameter, request body and response envelope against ingestion-api master and found no drift. That was round 1's main class of bug: request fields the API doesn't accept and response envelopes read the wrong way. All 30 commands that send a body have a unit test asserting it.

What the review did find was outside the contracts. It's fixed in five commits:

Finding Fix
d6e54c1 profile update --metadata "", dataset set-metadata --synonyms "" and dataset duplicate --name "" were silently dropped, or answered with a misleading error Exit 2 with a clear message
Header casing, optional metric list pagination, auth validate examples, connection list Shared column untested Fixed
c0346ce auth login's masked prompt echoed the API key in clear text next to the * (readline was still attached) The mask path reads stdin itself. A pasted key with its Enter works in one go
Ctrl-C or closed stdin at a y/n prompt left the promise unsettled, so Node exited 13 Ctrl-C exits 130 with Aborted., and a closed stdin counts as "no"
--account-id, a missing key or a broken config was only checked after a delete had asked for confirmation Checked in init(), before any prompt
metric delete .. sent DELETE /v2/: encodeURIComponent leaves dots alone requireMetricId rejects an empty id, . and ..
A malformed config file printed a raw SyntaxError, and a non-JSON 2xx response did the same Clear errors that don't quote the file's contents
ca8528e analyze ask-genie had no timeout 30 s without response headers, 120 s of silence while streaming; exit 2. 13 unit tests, where there were none
7e69878 The rename left auth.e2e.ts and data-source.e2e.ts calling account info / account timezones, which no longer exist They call organization now. test/e2e-commands.test.ts checks every e2e command against src/commands/ in npm test, and failed on exactly those three call sites
dataset set-timezone / set-permissions had no e2e test Added, and both set-timezone tests now pick a zone that actually differs
e2e assertions that the key is never printed would print most of the key when they failed expectNoKey()
fd587c9 Exit-code docs README and CHANGELOG updated

A correction to my round-1 reply. I said W6 included "an idle timeout on ask-genie's reader". It didn't: only ApiClient got timeouts. Both the correctness and the security pass caught this. It's genuinely in now, in ca8528e.

Not changed, on purpose:

  • --sort-order without --sort-by is only rejected by metric drilldown. The API requires the pairing only on drilldown, so adding the check elsewhere would refuse valid requests.
  • Backlog:
    • Redirect handling and an https-only check for custom API URLs, as hardening. It needs a live check first.
    • Whether --output csv should neutralise spreadsheet formulas. Exact output vs. sanitised is a policy call.
    • A this.flags vs destructured flags style difference in four data-source commands. It changes no behaviour.

Verification

  • npm test: 557 passing, with lint clean. Every commit passes on its own.
  • e2e against production: 159 passing, 0 failing, 7 pending. Each pending test logs why it skipped, for example no --account-id to scope to, or a connection whose blank name can't be restored.
  • Still missing: a live run on an organization that manages accounts. The account commands haven't run against the real API yet.

Off a terminal, confirm() and auth login refused outright, which broke
`yes | databox dataset delete 1`, a pattern 0.3.1 supported. They now read
the first line of stdin: y/yes confirms, any other answer declines
("Aborted.", exit 0), and an empty line or no input exits 2 instead of
being read as "no". auth login takes a piped key, which 0.3.1's masked
prompt never managed. The question still goes to stderr, so someone on a
non-terminal stdin (ssh without -t) sees what is asked.

dataset ingest checked 10,000 records and 100 MB, but production refuses
more than 500 records (413 request_too_large) and any body over
30,000,000 bytes (a bare 413 from the web server, before the API's own
check). Both were measured on 2026-09-25. The CLI now checks those values
before sending.

Round-3 review — final pass before merge

Five specialist passes (correctness, security, consistency × 2 domains, testing), with every
blocker and warning independently re-validated. Reconciled against the 24 dispositions from
rounds 1 and 2 — six findings were dropped as already settled (the --sort-order pairing,
dataset update's exit-1 empty-body guard, the --data-source-id non-rename, https-only URLs,
CSV formula neutralisation, and the this.flags style split in data-source).

The contract work is holding. A pass re-derived every request body, query parameter and
idempotency route from a freshly-pulled ingestion-api master and found no drift. All 31
commands that send a body have a lastBody() assertion. The organization/account rename is
complete across src/, README, CHANGELOG, oclif.topics and the bundled skills — 91 commands,
all four surfaces agreeing.

What is left is one regression in the newest commit and two hygiene issues. None of them are in
the V2 contract layer.

Verdict: REQUEST CHANGES — B1 · W3 · S8


Blocker

B1 — The masked prompt never settles on a closed stdin, so auth login exits 13

src/lib/prompt.ts:8-63 (mask branch), reached from src/commands/auth/login.ts:32
Found by correctness and security, independently. Validator: CONFIRMED.

c0346ce rewrote both prompt branches and fixed exactly this hazard for the readline branch —
rl.on('close', …) plus a SIGINT handler, with a comment naming the consequence: "Without
these the promise never settles on Ctrl-C or a closed stdin, and Node exits 13 with 'unsettled
top-level await'."
The mask branch it rewrote in the same commit got no equivalent. It registers
only process.stdin.on('data', onData) and calls resume(); finish() removes only 'data'.
There is no path to settle on EOF.

Three user-visible cases, all on the scripted path:

  • databox auth login < /dev/null, or any CI step that closes stdin → exit 13 with a Node
    internal warning, instead of API key is required. (exit 1)
  • printf 'KEY' | databox auth login (no trailing newline) → same; the key accumulates in
    input but is never committed
  • sleep 60 | databox auth login → hangs for the pipe's lifetime

13 is not one of the exit codes this PR's own contract documents, and auth login is the first
command anyone runs.

Fix — mirror the readline branch, settling through the same finish() so the terminal is restored:

const onEnd = () => {
  finish()
  resolve(input)   // auth login already turns '' into `API key is required.` (exit 1)
}
process.stdin.on('end', onEnd)
// remove it in finish(), alongside removeListener('data', onData)

The harness already has what is needed: fakeTerminal().end() exists and is used in the confirm
block — the prompt with mask block just has no EOF case, which is why npm test cannot see this.


Warnings

W1 — npm test on Windows overwrites the developer's real API key

test/helpers.ts:17-30, src/lib/config.ts:12-14

setupTestConfig redirects config by setting process.env.HOME, but config.ts resolves via
os.homedir(), which on win32 reads USERPROFILE. The override is inert. Verified empirically:
with HOME set to a temp dir, os.homedir() still returns the real profile.

Two effects:

  1. npm test reports 110 passing / 447 failing on Windows — not real bugs; every test writes
    to a directory the app never reads, then fails "Not authenticated". With USERPROFILE also
    set, it is 556/557.
  2. Worse: test/commands/auth/login.test.ts carries a comment saying that without a throwaway
    HOME it writes the developer's own config. On Windows that guard does nothing, so npm test
    writes my-test-key and then bad-key into
    %USERPROFILE%\.config\databox-cli\config.json — silently destroying a working key.

CI is genuinely green because .github/workflows/test.yml runs ubuntu-latest, so this is
invisible there.

Fix — set USERPROFILE alongside HOME in setupTestConfig/setupEmptyConfig, and restore
both in cleanupTestConfig.

W2 — The empty-value sweep (d6e54c1) missed four sibling flags

dataset/create.ts:50 and :38-43, data-source/create.ts:32-42, dataset/ingest.ts:53

d6e54c1 moved --synonyms and --metadata to !== undefined and added a blank check to
dataset duplicate --name. The same truthiness pattern survives on:

  • dataset create --schema "" → silently creates a schemaless dataset
  • data-source create --timezone "" → silently dropped
  • dataset create --name "" → no blank check, while its four siblings have one
  • dataset ingest --records "" → the worst: falls through to the --file branch and then to
    stdin, reporting Provide data via --records, --file, or stdin pipe. when --records was
    provided — or, off a TTY, silently consuming stdin instead

The clearest evidence is inside a single file: data-source/create.ts adds a blank-name check
with a comment explaining the API rejects it, then guards --timezone with bare truthiness two
lines later.

Fix — !== undefined on the three, .trim() === '' on dataset create --name. The regression
tests belong in the e2e suite: @oclif/test's runCommand cannot pass an empty-string flag value,
which is why the existing test/validation/ sweep cannot reach these.

W3 — Ten e2e assertions match result.stderr instead of errorText(result)

auth.e2e.ts:31, cli-contract.e2e.ts:52,69,247,264, dataset.e2e.ts:461,
data-source.e2e.ts:191, metric.e2e.ts:167, organization.e2e.ts:129, user.e2e.ts:67

.claude/rules/e2e-testing.md mandates errorText() because the CLI hard-wraps and adds oclif's
› gutter, so a phrase can split across lines with padding. The helper is defined in the same
suite and used correctly 24 times elsewhere — this is inconsistent application, not a missing
helper. .to.include('databox auth login') is precisely the multi-word phrase a wrap can break.

Fix — swap the ten content-matching sites. The to.not.be.empty checks are fine as they are.


Suggestions

S1 api-client.ts:192, ask-genie.ts:77 fetch defaults to redirect: 'follow', and the Fetch standard strips only Authorization/Cookie across origins — so x-api-key is re-sent to a redirect target. redirect: 'error', mapped through the existing connectionError(). Judged genuinely separable from the backlogged https-only item (it does not break the local ingestion-api workflow), but it needs either an open redirect on the API host or an already-hostile DATABOX_API_URL, so not merge-blocking
S2 data-source/set-timezone.ts:34-41, dataset/set-timezone.ts:31-37 --purge-data really does purge (confirmed in DataSourceService.cs:163), but the success line never says so. Reported as a missing --force; downgraded, because --force guards commands that destroy on bare invocation, and typing --purge-data is itself the deliberate gesture
S3 metric/drilldown.ts:49,72-73 Validates sort-order/sort-by from a local this.parse() but sends this.flags. The command declares no static args, so the parse call is pure duplication — a one-line deletion
S4 dataset/ingest.ts:53-58 Hand-rolls the parseJsonFlag pattern for --records; behaviourally equivalent, only the wording has drifted ("Invalid JSON in" vs "for")
S5 api-client.ts:131,145,152 body ? JSON.stringify(body) : undefined drops a falsy parsed body, so update-modification --data 'null' sends a bodiless PUT with no Content-Type. body !== undefined is the intended test
S6 billing/invoices.ts:17, databoard/list.ts:16, integration/list.ts:12 Re-declare {page, pageSize, totalItems} inline; six siblings import Pagination from lib/flags.js
S7 integration/list.ts:48 String(row.supportsDatasets) prints true/false where every sibling boolean column prints yes/no
S8 skills/databox-metrics/SKILL.md databoard metrics is documented there, databoard list is in no skill file — a one-row addition. (Reported as a missing bundled skill; that was refuted — profile and activity-log have no dedicated skill either, and both databoard commands are in the README reference)

Three smaller credential-hygiene notes, none blocking: auth login calls saveConfig() before
validating, so a mistyped key overwrites a working one; loadConfig() never repairs the mode of a
pre-PR world-readable config.json; .gitignore has no .env entry, and this repo is public.


What held up well

  • test/e2e/helpers/environments.ts retires the CodeQL clear-text-logging finding
    structurally, not by redaction.
    targetOf() copies fields explicitly rather than spreading,
    so the printable object provably holds no key at runtime; describeRequest() takes method and
    URL so headers are never in scope; and expectNoKey() compares as a boolean because a chai
    to.not.include(key) failure would print the key at the exact moment it leaked. A redaction
    filter would not have earned this.
  • lib/flags.ts:89-99 — --all's page cap is computed from what the API actually served
    (Math.max(1, Math.min(pageSize, items.length))), not the echoed pageSize. An endpoint that
    ignores page terminates instead of looping forever, and a short result is reported on stderr
    rather than passed off as complete.
  • analyze/ask-genie.ts:167-187 — readChunk rejects before calling reader.cancel(),
    with a comment explaining why. Swapped, a stalled stream would have ended the loop cleanly and
    printed a truncated answer as a complete one with exit 0.

Coverage

Pass Findings Note
Correctness 1 B, 3 W, 2 S One warning dismissed on the C# contract (preview-modification's Pagination is non-nullable and eagerly initialised, so the CLI's required type is a correct mirror)
Security 2 W, 3 S No credentials in 36 commits or any tracked file; --verbose proven structurally unable to print the key
Consistency (dataset/data-source/databoard/integration/billing) 2 W, 2 S Bodies re-verified against freshly-pulled ingestion-api master
Consistency (metric/account/organization/connection/user/profile/auth/analyze/activity-log) 1 W, 2 S Rename complete: 91 commands ↔ topics ↔ README ↔ CHANGELOG ↔ skills
Testing 1 W All 31 body-sending commands have lastBody(); npm test run for real
Validation 3 confirmed, 5 downgraded, 1 dismissed Raised the Windows harness issue from a note to a warning

Two candidates worth codifying

Both are patterns that recurred across files, and both were round-2 fixes that did not sweep:

  1. .claude/rules/commands.md — An optional string flag is guarded with !== undefined,
    never truthiness, and a required name flag rejects blank. Truthiness silently drops
    --flag "", which the user typed deliberately; the API would have rejected it with a message.

    This exact class produced W2's four call sites after being fixed on three others in d6e54c1.
  2. .claude/rules/testing.md — A test that redirects the config directory must set both
    HOME and USERPROFILE, and restore both. os.homedir() reads USERPROFILE on win32, so a
    HOME-only override is inert there and the suite writes the developer's real credentials.

    The comment in login.test.ts shows the hazard was known; only the platform half was missed,
    and CI cannot catch it.

The config helpers redirected only HOME, but os.homedir() reads
USERPROFILE on Windows. There, npm test wrote to the developer's real
config.json and could overwrite a working API key. setupTestConfig,
setupEmptyConfig and the e2e child env now set both variables, and
cleanup restores each one, or deletes it if it was unset. The
originals are saved once, so calling setup twice no longer records the
temp directory as the original home.

Ten e2e assertions matched result.stderr directly. The CLI hard-wraps
its messages, so they now use errorText(result), as the rules require.

A truthiness check dropped a value the user had typed. `dataset create
--schema ""` created a schemaless dataset, `--timezone ""` was ignored,
and `dataset ingest --records ""` or `--file ""` fell through to
reading stdin. An empty value is now sent where the API validates it
(`--timezone`) and refused with exit 2 where the API would accept it
silently (`--integration-key`, which it would store as an empty type).
Blank `--name` values on dataset and metric create fail before the
request, as on the other create commands. The e2e suite covers each
case, because runCommand cannot pass an empty string.

fetch follows redirects by default and strips only Authorization and
Cookie across origins, so x-api-key would be re-sent to the redirect
target. The API client and ask-genie now refuse redirects, with exit 2
and a message naming the URL setting to check.

Also from the review:
- set-timezone --purge-data says the data was purged.
- metric drilldown no longer parses its flags twice.
- --records goes through parseJsonFlag.
- A null request body is sent instead of dropped.
- The shared Pagination type is imported where it was redeclared.
- integration list prints yes/no.
- databoard list is added to the metrics skill.
- .env files are ignored.

The rules record the empty-value and redirect conventions.

Thanks for the round-3 pass. Everything is addressed except one item, which we're leaving as a deliberate choice (at the end).

The review was written against 33de939. After that, 7e9f776 and f112c4e had already landed, and the rest is in d029f5e and 88e2e41.

Blocker

B1: masked prompt never settles on a closed stdin. Already fixed in 7e9f776.

  • With no terminal, auth login no longer uses the masked prompt. It reads the first line of stdin through readPipedLine(), which settles when the input ends:
    • auth login </dev/null exits 2 with "No API key provided: stdin is not a terminal and nothing was piped", and saves nothing.
    • printf 'KEY' | databox auth login (no newline) saves the key.
    • sleep 60 | databox auth login waits, as the README documents.
  • At a terminal, the masked prompt now also handles end, with a test for it.
  • confirm() uses the same path: piped y/yes confirms, any other answer declines (exit 0), and empty input exits 2.

Warnings

W1: USERPROFILE (d029f5e).

  • setupTestConfig, setupEmptyConfig and the e2e child env now set both HOME and USERPROFILE.
  • Cleanup restores each variable, or deletes it if it was unset.
  • The originals are saved once, so calling setup twice no longer records the temp directory as the original home.
  • A test covers this. The rule is in testing.md.

W2: empty values (88e2e41). A value the user typed is never dropped silently any more:

  • --schema "", --records "" and --file "" fail with exit 2 before the request. --records and --file no longer fall through to stdin.
  • --timezone "" is sent, and the API rejects it with "Invalid timezone value".
  • --integration-key "" is refused locally with exit 2. The API would accept it (IntegrationKey ?? "ingestion") and store an empty type.
  • A blank --name on dataset create and metric create fails with exit 2, like the other create commands.
  • Each case has an e2e test.
  • The rule in commands.md is: never drop --flag "" silently. Send it where the API validates the field; otherwise refuse it locally.

W3: errorText (d029f5e / 88e2e41). All ten sites now use errorText(result). The only result.stderr matches left are the --verbose trace lines, which are not wrapped error text.

Suggestions (all in 88e2e41)

  • S1: redirect: 'error' in both the API client and ask-genie. A refused redirect exits 2 with its own message, naming --api-url / --service-url. Both have tests. The rule is in api-client.md.
  • S2: set-timezone --purge-data now says the existing data was purged.
  • S3: the duplicate parse() in metric drilldown is removed.
  • S4: --records goes through parseJsonFlag.
  • S5: body === undefined ? undefined : JSON.stringify(body), so --data 'null' sends null with Content-Type.
  • S6: the shared Pagination type is imported in the three commands.
  • S7: integration list prints yes/no.
  • S8: databoard list is added to the metrics skill.
  • Credential notes:
    • .env and .env.* are now in .gitignore.
    • saveConfig() already applies chmod 600 on every write, so an old world-readable file is fixed the next time the config is saved.
    • auth login saving before validating is deliberate, and the README documents it. Saving even when the check fails means an offline login still works. We may change it later to keep the old key when the API answers 401.

Verified

  • Typecheck, lint and npm test: 591 passing, 0 failing. Every new test failed against the code before its fix.
  • e2e against production (auth, data-source, cli-contract, organization, metric, dataset, user): 117 passing. One test is pending with its reason printed (DATABOX_E2E_ACCOUNT_ID is not set). No test resources were left behind.

Also since round 2: the ingest limits now match what production enforces (500 records, 30,000,000 bytes). We measured both on 2026-09-25, and ingestion-api's docs still say 10,000 records and 100 MB.

…es them

ingestion-api now reports numberFormat by its camelCase name
(groupingCommaDecimalDot, ...) and rejects an unrecognised numberFormat
or firstDayOfWeek with a 400. Before, it silently stored the default or
kept the current day. A partial --address now keeps the fields it does
not send, and "" clears one; before, omitted fields were wiped.

The help text and generated README said the old behaviour, and the
organization fixture used the old PascalCase value. Nothing else in the
CLI depended on it: settings and address are passed through as given.

…-based custom metric"

ingestion-api now requires drilldown's sourceId to be the dataset in the
metric ID (the part before "|"). The CLI made --source-id mandatory, so
the only valid value had to be typed out, and any other value was sent
and refused with a 400. --source-id is now optional:
- When omitted, it is taken from the metric ID.
- When given, it must match the metric ID, and a mismatch fails before
the request (exit 2).
- A metric ID with no dataset still needs it.

The API also stopped calling these metrics "custom query" metrics. Update
and usages help, the generated README and the metrics skill now say
"dataset-based custom metric", the rule the API enforces for create,
update, delete and drilldown.

A json-flags validation fixture passed a mismatched --source-id. It now
uses the metric's own dataset, so it still tests the --filters error.

Since 2026-08-20, production Genie has required an internal token that
the CLI cannot hold, so every ask-genie call has answered 403, in 0.3.1
too. 1.0.0 hides the command and its topic. Running it exits 1 with the
reason, ahead of parsing and the API key check, and sends no request.

The implementation stays behind DATABOX_ENABLE_ASK_GENIE=1, an internal
switch for a Genie without internal auth and for the tests that keep it
working. It will return once there is a public route: a new API
endpoint, or a ticket that Genie validates.

The README and CHANGELOG say the command is temporarily unavailable.
The databox-analyze skill is removed from the bundle for now.
