# CLI Refactor Progress

## M1-E1-S1: Create cli/ directory structure ✅
**Completed:** 2026-01-29

**Summary:**
- Created `app/modules/autonomous_agent/cli/` directory
- Created `cli/__init__.py` with shared utilities extracted from main cli.py:
  - `check_typesense_running()` - Check if Typesense is accessible
  - `offer_typesense_deployment()` - Offer to deploy Typesense via Docker
  - `ensure_typesense_or_prompt()` - Check Typesense and offer deployment if needed
  - `_run_async()` - Bridge async functions in synchronous Click context
  - `resolve_db_identifier()` - Resolve database identifier (ID or alias)

**Files created:**
- app/modules/autonomous_agent/cli/__init__.py (175 lines)

**Next story:** M1-E1-S2 - Extract config group to cli/config.py (simpler than connection, validates pattern)

**Notes:**
- Shared utilities are now in place for all command groups to use
- This foundation enables extracting individual command groups
- No breaking changes yet - old commands still work

## M1-E1-S2: Extract config group to cli/config.py ✅
**Completed:** 2026-01-29

**Summary:**
- Created `cli/config.py` with Click group structure
- Extracted 4 commands: config→show, env_check→check, version→version, worker→worker
- Commands remapped to new grouped structure (kai config show, kai config check, etc.)
- All command logic moved from main cli.py to dedicated module
- Fixed missing Settings attributes using `getattr()` for optional settings

**Files created:**
- app/modules/autonomous_agent/cli/config.py (~225 lines)

**Blockers/Notes:**
- Used `getattr(settings, "ATTR", default)` pattern for optional settings that don't exist in current Settings class:
  - AGENT_LANGUAGE (default: "en")
  - MEMORY_BACKEND (default: "typesense")
  - ENABLE_AUTO_LEARNING (default: False)
  - AUTO_LEARNING_CAPTURE_ONLY (default: False)
  - MCP_ENABLED (default: False)
  - MCP_SERVERS_CONFIG (default: None)
  - LETTA_API_KEY (default: None)

**Next story:** M1-E1-S3 - Refactor main cli.py to register config group

## M1-E1-S3: Refactor main cli.py to register config group ✅
**Completed:** 2026-01-29

**Summary:**
- Renamed main cli.py to main.py to avoid package naming conflict
- Registered config group: `cli.add_command(config)`
- Removed 4 old commands from main.py (~70 lines removed):
  - config (now: kai config show)
  - env_check (now: kai config check)
  - version (now: kai config version)
  - worker (now: kai config worker)
- Updated entry point in pyproject.toml: app.modules.autonomous_agent.main:cli
- Verified new grouped commands work: kai config --help, kai config version
- Verified old commands no longer work as expected

**Files modified:**
- app/modules/autonomous_agent/cli.py → main.py (renamed)
- pyproject.toml (entry point updated)
- ~70 lines removed (old command definitions)

**Acceptance criteria:**
✓ Config group registered with main CLI
✓ All config commands work in new structure (kai config show/check/version/worker)
✓ Old commands removed from main command list
✓ CLI loads without errors

**Notes:**
- Naming conflict resolved: cli directory package vs. cli.py module
- Renamed to main.py follows standard Python practice
- Breaking change achieved: old commands like `kai config` now show help instead of config

  - delete-connection → connection delete
  - test-connection → connection test
- Registered connection group in main.py: cli.add_command(connection)
- Removed old commands from main.py (~180 lines removed)
- All commands use ensure_typesense_or_prompt() for Typesense dependency

**Files created:**
- app/modules/autonomous_agent/cli/connection.py (~460 lines)

**Files modified:**
