feat: CLI surface adapter - #16
Conversation
Adds surface: cli, letting FlowSpec flows drive command-line tools instead of a browser: no-shell process spawning, surface-agnostic and file matchers, a per-flow working directory, eight CLI assertions, fail-fast exit-code semantics with flow-level setup, and a reporter that renders CLI and web failures in one summary. runFlow dispatches on surface, and the CLI path never touches the browser. Web behavior is byte-identical throughout — the existing web test suite passed unmodified. FlowSpec now dogfoods itself: specs/init.flow.yaml specs flowspec init, run via bun run test:e2e locally and in CI. Items completed: - #800: FlowSpec schema accepts surface: cli with the run-step grammar - #801: Spawn CLI commands with cwd, env, and stdin — no shell - #802: Surface-agnostic contains, regex, and dot-path JSON matchers - #803: Retryable file existence and file content matchers - #804: Per-flow working directory: fresh temp dir, kept on failure - #805: CLI assertion schemas and CLI-aware FlowError fields - #806: Bounded and time-limited command capture - #807: Config gains cwd and captureLimit, and stays web-only for setup - #808: CLI flows execute run steps with fail-fast exit-code semantics - #809: Evaluate the eight CLI assertions against the last run step - #810: Reporter renders CLI failures and one summary across surfaces - #811: CLI flows run a flow-level setup phase in their own grammar - #812: runFlow dispatches on surface with no browser on the CLI path - #814: Document the CLI surface in the README and specification - #815: Root config, e2e script, and CI step for the dogfood spec - #816: FlowSpec specs its own flowspec init Co-authored-by: Hannibal <ai@team.local> Co-authored-by: Face <ai@team.local> Co-authored-by: Murdock <ai@team.local> Co-authored-by: B.A. <ai@team.local> Co-authored-by: Lynch <ai@team.local> Co-authored-by: Amy <ai@team.local> Co-authored-by: Tawnia <ai@team.local>
…dation gaps Post-mission code review of feat/cli-surface-adapter (mission M-20260817-001) surfaced 13 findings, now fixed and captured as RetroLearning rows (ids 162, 168, 171-181): - exec.ts: a backgrounded grandchild holding stdout/stderr open defeated the step timeout entirely, hanging the run regardless of the configured deadline. Stream reads now race against a drain grace period instead of being awaited unconditionally. - CLI step process-kill deadline is now a distinct `stepTimeout` config key/flag (default 60s), separate from the assertion-retry `timeout` budget it was previously conflated with — real commands over 10s were being silently killed and reported as timeouts. - FlowSpec's steps/setup/expect fields are typed again (were `z.array(z.any())`, silently dropping compile-time checking project-wide); casts in cli-runner.ts removed accordingly. - Config-level cwd rejects empty/whitespace values instead of silently resolving to the real project directory. - CLI surface now requires at least one assertion and non-empty assertion payloads, matching the web surface's existing floor — an empty expect list or empty-string needle previously parsed and always passed. - Step validation (web and CLI) now reports Zod's specific issue at its field path instead of a generic "Invalid input" wrapper, shared between types.ts and config.ts. - Reporter: kept-workdir path now prints on spawn failures (previously gated on exitCode, which spawn failures don't have); multi-line stdout/stderr is now indented on every line, not just the first. - Step-failure output is now bounded the same way assertion-failure output already was; file_contains reads are capped instead of unbounded. - Regex assertions match multiline output by default; file assertions reject paths that resolve outside the flow's working directory. - Two tests corrected to assert on behavior their fix actually changes, rather than an incidental substring that stayed green either way. 733/733 -> 809/809 tests, typecheck clean, lint clean (pre-existing warnings only).
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughFlowSpec now supports browser-free CLI flows with typed commands, setup steps, process controls, working directories, output and file assertions, reporting, timeout handling, and E2E dogfood coverage. ChangesCLI surface adapter
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This PR adds CLI execution and filesystem assertions, but the current implementation still has bounded correctness and portability risks: certain filesystem errors can bypass workdir containment, assertions can pass after timeout, malformed inputs can crash handling, Windows command resolution may fail, and direct CLI flows may use inconsistent timeout defaults. Merge should wait for these issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

In `@prd/0007-cli-surface-adapter.md`:
- Around line 176-177: Update both PRD statements describing CLI step timeouts
to say that stepTimeout bounds the CLI process deadline and that its default is
stepTimeout, consistent with runCliFlow and the README configuration semantics;
leave the assertion retry timeout description unchanged.
In `@specs/init.flow.yaml`:
- Around line 10-11: Update the reinitialization spec so both init steps target
the same working directory: either remove the --dir ./proj argument from the
second flowspec init invocation or apply it consistently to both invocations,
and align any related assertions with that target.
In `@src/exec.ts`:
- Around line 276-297: Start the stdout/stderr bounded reads before the stdin
write block in spawnWithBun so output pipes drain concurrently with stdin. In
test/exec.test.ts lines 203-221, add coverage using roughly 1 MiB of stdin
echoed by a child, asserting timedOut is false and stdout has the full input
length.
In `@src/file-matchers.ts`:
- Around line 74-83: Update the polling loop in pollUntilPass to cap the sleep
duration at the remaining timeout by using the smaller of POLL_INTERVAL and
deadline minus the current time, while preserving the existing deadline check
and result handling.
In `@test/cli-runner.test.ts`:
- Around line 197-206: Update the test title and its stale wording around the
cliFlow setup fixture to reflect that a passing setup block does not affect the
steps phase, or remove this redundant test because setup execution is covered by
the setup suite.
In `@test/dogfood-plumbing.test.ts`:
- Around line 100-108: Add a finite timeout option to all synchronous
child-process calls: the three execSync calls at test/dogfood-plumbing.test.ts
lines 100-108 and test/dogfood-spec.test.ts line 49. Preserve their existing
commands and other options while ensuring each call cannot hang indefinitely.
In `@test/dogfood-spec.test.ts`:
- Around line 71-74: Update the test around runCliFlow to convert the parsed
flow with asCliFlow before passing it as the first argument, importing asCliFlow
as needed. Ensure runCliFlow receives a CliFlowSpec while preserving the
existing test behavior and arguments.

Included review availability: Your plan provides up to 1 included review per hour; 0 remain after this review.
- Fix: PRD docs updated to reference spawnProcess/stepTimeout instead of
the stale execCommand/timeout defaults they described pre-sweep
- Fix: dogfood spec (specs/init.flow.yaml) now actually tests same-directory
reinit instead of ancestor-detection, and asserts on the signal that
proves non-clobbering ("(already exists)") rather than a message that
only appears for the ancestor-detection path
- Fix: stdin write no longer serialized before stdout/stderr reads start in
spawnWithBun, removing a latent deadlock risk on large combined I/O
- Fix: capture-limit truncation no longer splits a UTF-8 character at the
byte boundary, producing a replacement-character artifact
- Fix: file assertion poll loop no longer sleeps past its own deadline on
a timeout shorter than the poll interval
- Fix: stream assertion guards (stdout_contains/stderr_contains/
stdout_matches/stderr_matches) now explicitly reject a missing value
instead of reaching matchContains/matchRegex directly — an unguarded
stdout_matches/stderr_matches with an undefined pattern compiled to
/(?:)/, silently matching any output
- Fix: dogfood test execSync calls now have explicit timeouts instead of
being able to hang indefinitely; dogfood-spec.test.ts narrows its parsed
flow through asCliFlow() instead of relying on a broad type
- Fix: removed a stale test in cli-runner.test.ts claiming setup is
"present but not executed" when it now executes (real coverage already
exists in cli-runner-setup.test.ts) — this was RetroLearning row 180
from an earlier internal sweep that only got half-fixed
- Fix: CLI_ASSERTION_VERBS/WEB_ASSERTION_VERBS are now derived from their
schema maps instead of duplicated by hand, closing a silent-drift risk
- Fix: CliFlowSpec/WebFlowSpec now carry real Zod runtime validation
(CliFlowSpecSchema/WebFlowSpecSchema) instead of unchecked casts, closing
a gap where a hand-built flow bypassing FlowSpecSchema got zero runtime
check — verified this doesn't reintroduce the union-message-precision
problem an earlier fix specifically avoided
- Test: typed the lastStep test fixture against the real result shape
instead of an unconstrained record, so a typo'd field name fails at
compile time instead of silently asserting nothing
- Test: added coverage for large stdin combined with large stdout, and for
truncation landing mid-UTF-8-character

Nitpick review — comment
The change introduces a substantial CLI execution and assertion framework, including configuration, matchers, and reporting. While the core functionality is well-tested, the file path resolution in cli-assertions.ts relies on string prefix checks that do not account for symbolic links, potentially allowing directory traversal outside the intended workdir. Given the security implications of the new execution and file access capabilities, human review is recommended to ensure the trust model and sandboxing are fully aligned with the project's requirements.

- Fix: confine CLI file assertions against symlink traversal — resolve the deepest existing ancestor with realpath and re-check containment, so a symlink inside the workdir can no longer point outside it. The workdir root is realpath'd too (macOS /tmp -> /private/tmp), and the retry path for a not-yet-created file is preserved. - Fix: do not evaluate a retry matcher once its deadline has genuinely been blown through. Applied to pollUntilPass and to the two matching poll loops in the runner, which also gain the same sleep clamp. - Fix: asWebFlow now returns the parsed web flow, so a flow built without a surface key comes back with surface === "web" instead of undefined, matching what its WebFlowSpec type already claimed. - Fix: write the schema-issue dedup separator as the \0 escape instead of a raw NUL byte, which made grep and ripgrep treat src/types.ts as a binary file and silently return no matches. - Test: symlink escape and not-yet-created regression guards for file assertions, a late-resuming-timer test for the deadline guard, and omitted-surface coverage for asWebFlow. Addresses review comments from coderabbitai and github-actions.

Nitpick review — approve
This change adds a new CLI surface for executing flow steps, introducing configuration for step timeouts and working directories. The implementation correctly handles argument parsing and error propagation, and the command execution model aligns with the project's design for trusted flow specifications. The code is sound and no issues were found.

489-506: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winExtract the clamped-sleep and overshoot-guard policy into one helper.
This timing policy now exists three times:
executeWaitFor(Lines 492-506),executeAssertion(Lines 673-688), andpollUntilPassinsrc/file-matchers.ts(Lines 77-105). All three copies use the same clamp expression, the sameDate.now() - deadline > POLL_INTERVALthreshold, and near-identical explanatory comments.The threshold is a policy decision, not an implementation detail. If it changes, all three sites must change together, and a missed site produces a silent timing difference between web assertions and CLI file assertions. Extract a shared helper such as
sleepWithinDeadline(deadline): Promise<boolean>that performs the clamped sleep and returns whether the caller may still evaluate. Each loop then reduces to one call, and the reasoning lives in one doc comment.♻️ Proposed shape
/** * Sleep until the next poll tick, clamped so the wake-up lands at * `deadline` instead of overshooting it by a full POLL_INTERVAL. * Returns false when event-loop lag pushed the resume more than one * POLL_INTERVAL past `deadline`, meaning the caller must not evaluate * again. Ordinary timer jitter is far below one POLL_INTERVAL, so the * intentional at-the-deadline check is preserved. */ export async function sleepWithinDeadline(deadline: number): Promise<boolean> { await sleep(Math.max(0, Math.min(POLL_INTERVAL, deadline - Date.now()))); return Date.now() - deadline <= POLL_INTERVAL; }while (Date.now() < deadline) { - await sleep(Math.max(0, Math.min(POLL_INTERVAL, deadline - Date.now()))); - - if (Date.now() - deadline > POLL_INTERVAL) { - break; - } + if (!(await sleepWithinDeadline(deadline))) { + break; + } lastError = await checkTextVisible(text, session);Also applies to: 670-688

Deferred: Windows launchability of agent-browser
Re the outside-diff comment on src/runner.ts (125-142) — good catch, but it is out of scope here. getAgentBrowserPath landed on main in #19 (fix/agent-browser-resolution); it only shows up in this diff because main was merged into the branch, not because this PR authored it. CodeRabbit labels it Heavy lift, and it needs a command-descriptor refactor plus a Windows regression test.
Split out as #23, covering both the .cmd shim probe and running the JS bin script through process.execPath. Worth noting CI is ubuntu-latest only today, so a windows-latest leg should land alongside the fix.
Unrelated fix included
src/types.ts contained a literal NUL byte (introduced by cd4db10 in this PR) used as the schema-issue dedup separator. It worked at runtime, but it made grep and ripgrep classify the whole file as binary — searching src/types.ts for any symbol silently returned nothing. Rewritten as the \0 escape; the file is plain text again.

- Fix: PRD docs updated to reference spawnProcess/stepTimeout instead of
the stale execCommand/timeout defaults they described pre-sweep
- Fix: dogfood spec (specs/init.flow.yaml) now actually tests same-directory
reinit instead of ancestor-detection, and asserts on the signal that
proves non-clobbering ("(already exists)") rather than a message that
only appears for the ancestor-detection path
- Fix: stdin write no longer serialized before stdout/stderr reads start in
spawnWithBun, removing a latent deadlock risk on large combined I/O
- Fix: capture-limit truncation no longer splits a UTF-8 character at the
byte boundary, producing a replacement-character artifact
- Fix: file assertion poll loop no longer sleeps past its own deadline on
a timeout shorter than the poll interval
- Fix: stream assertion guards (stdout_contains/stderr_contains/
stdout_matches/stderr_matches) now explicitly reject a missing value
instead of reaching matchContains/matchRegex directly — an unguarded
stdout_matches/stderr_matches with an undefined pattern compiled to
/(?:)/, silently matching any output
- Fix: dogfood test execSync calls now have explicit timeouts instead of
being able to hang indefinitely; dogfood-spec.test.ts narrows its parsed
flow through asCliFlow() instead of relying on a broad type
- Fix: removed a stale test in cli-runner.test.ts claiming setup is
"present but not executed" when it now executes (real coverage already
exists in cli-runner-setup.test.ts) — this was RetroLearning row 180
from an earlier internal sweep that only got half-fixed
- Fix: CLI_ASSERTION_VERBS/WEB_ASSERTION_VERBS are now derived from their
schema maps instead of duplicated by hand, closing a silent-drift risk
- Fix: CliFlowSpec/WebFlowSpec now carry real Zod runtime validation
(CliFlowSpecSchema/WebFlowSpecSchema) instead of unchecked casts, closing
a gap where a hand-built flow bypassing FlowSpecSchema got zero runtime
check — verified this doesn't reintroduce the union-message-precision
problem an earlier fix specifically avoided
- Test: typed the lastStep test fixture against the real result shape
instead of an unconstrained record, so a typo'd field name fails at
compile time instead of silently asserting nothing
- Test: added coverage for large stdin combined with large stdout, and for
truncation landing mid-UTF-8-character
825/825 tests passing (up from 809), typecheck clean, lint clean, e2e
passing. Addresses all 14 review items from coderabbitai's review of PR #16.

Addresses review comments from coderabbitai and github-actions.
realpathDeepestExisting walked upward only on ENOENT and returned the unresolved path on any other error. That failed open rather than closed: the returned path is the lexically-resolved one the caller has already confirmed sits under the workdir root, so the containment check accepted it having canonicalized nothing. Requesting "linked/blocker/target.txt", where "linked" is a symlink out of the workdir and "blocker" is a regular file, makes realpathSync fail with ENOTDIR rather than ENOENT — so the symlink escape was never resolved or noticed. EACCES on an unreadable intermediate directory hides a symlink the same way. Walk up on any failure, stopping only at the filesystem root, so the ancestor that finally resolves is genuinely canonicalized. - Test: the ENOTDIR variant, which needs no special permissions to reproduce (the EACCES one cannot be exercised as root). Addresses follow-up review comment from coderabbitai.

Web behavior is byte-identical throughout: the entire pre-existing web test suite passed unmodified.FlowSpec now dogfoods itself —
