Currently nico-admin-cli managed-host show and machine show subcommands produce tables so wide, the rows wrap across multiple lines even on a very wide display, and it's very hard to scan the table visually. This PR adds

  • --max-width option to managed-host show and machine show
  • --columns option to machine show

The new options allow you to limit columns so you get one row per line. For example:

nico mh show --max-width state=50
nico m show --columns "id,ip address,mac address,state" --max-width state=50 --dpus

Default behavior is unchanged.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added --max-width to limit table column widths globally or per column.
    • Added --columns to select and order machine table columns.
    • Applied configurable widths and column selection to machine and managed-host output.
    • Added warnings for unmatched column or width settings.
    • Preserved selected columns in CSV output while truncating human-readable tables.
  • Documentation

    • Updated command help and manuals with option details, matching rules, and examples.

Walkthrough

The admin CLI adds shared support for repeatable --max-width and --columns options. Machine and managed-host tables resolve these options, warn about unmatched headers, and apply selection or truncation during output.

Changes

Table display controls

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared table option utilities
crates/admin-cli/src/table_utils.rs, crates/admin-cli/src/main.rs
Adds parsing, case-insensitive matching, column ordering, multiline truncation, unmatched-column diagnostics, and unit tests for table options.
Machine table integration
crates/admin-cli/src/machine/show/..., crates/admin-cli/src/jump/cmd.rs, docs/manuals/nico-admin-cli/commands/machine/machine-show.md
Adds machine-show arguments, selected-column rendering, width-limited ASCII output, untruncated CSV selection, documentation, and default options for jump lookups.
Managed-host table integration
crates/admin-cli/src/managed_host/show/..., docs/manuals/nico-admin-cli/commands/managed-host/managed-host-show.md
Adds max-width arguments, width-limited row rendering, unmatched-header warnings, documentation, and width propagation through CSV and human-readable output.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8f38a

The new table display controls remain usable, but documentation clarity and edge-case validation concerns remain open and should be addressed before relying on these options for predictable scripted output.

P2 Badge Enforce the maximum width on table headers

When a requested width is shorter than a header, such as --max-width 5 or --max-width "Primary Interface=5", only row values pass through ColumnWidths::truncate; these title cells retain their full text, so prettytable keeps the column wider than the requested maximum. Apply the width to title cells as well, and cover the rendered headers through the public command rather than only helper tests.

I don't think there's any practical value in being able to truncate the column header. Column headers aren't generally very wide. The real practical value is for a column like STATE, where error messages can make the column indeterminately wide. I think a better solution is to say the minimum width is whatever is needed to completely render the column header; you can specify something lower, but it just clamps to that lower bound.

Testing this with the public command would be a big refactor. I think it's out of scope for this change. I'll switch to value_scenarios! and test empty cell values to better conform with AGENTS.md

P1 Badge Reject table controls for single-machine output

With a positional machine ID, clap accepts both newly added flags, but handle_show immediately calls show_machine_information and never reads width or columns; for example, machine show <UUID> --columns state succeeds while printing every field, and --max-width similarly has no effect or warning. Either make these arguments conflict with machine, apply them to the detail view, or explicitly expose and document their list-only behavior.

P1 Badge Use a valid shared max-width help example

This help text is also rendered for managed-host show, but that command's headers_for never produces a State Version column, so copying --max-width "State Version=40" from its option help results in an unmatched-column warning and no truncation. Remove the machine-specific example from the shared argument help or provide command-specific examples using valid headers.

Use stable tracing events for unmatched-column warnings.

warn!("{message}") makes user-dependent text the event message. This prevents stable message matching and does not use a structured field. Keep the detail in a field and use literal event messages.

Assert that row_data and headers have equal length.

row_data here and headers_for build two parallel lists from the same four option flags, in two different functions. zip is length-tolerant, so any future divergence drops trailing cells silently and renders a table with missing columns.

The lists match for all current flag combinations. Make the invariant explicit so a later divergence fails loudly in tests.

♻️ Proposed refactor

Use a stable literal message with structured fields for this warning.

warn!("{message}") emits a fully interpolated string, so the event carries no stable message and no queryable fields. Log aggregation cannot group these warnings or filter by column name.

ColumnWidths::describe_unmatched_columns returns the preformatted string, so change that API to return the parts and format them at the call site.

♻️ Proposed refactor

In crates/admin-cli/src/table_utils.rs, return the unmatched names instead of a message:

/// Configured columns that do not match any of `headers`, sorted. Empty when
/// every configured column matched.
pub(crate) fn unmatched_columns(&self, headers: &[&str]) -> Vec<String> {
    let known: HashSet<String> = headers.iter().map(|h| h.to_lowercase()).collect();
    let mut unmatched: Vec<String> = self
        .per_column
        .iter()
        .filter(|(key, _)| !known.contains(*key))
        .map(|(_, (name, _))| name.clone())
        .collect();
    unmatched.sort_unstable();
    unmatched
}

Then log the stable event here:

     let widths = args.width.widths();
-    if let Some(message) = widths.describe_unmatched_columns(&headers_for(&output_options)) {
-        warn!("{message}");
-    }
+    let headers = headers_for(&output_options);
+    let unmatched = widths.unmatched_columns(&headers);
+    if !unmatched.is_empty() {
+        warn!(
+            unmatched_columns = %unmatched.join(", "),
+            valid_columns = %headers.join(", "),
+            "--max-width column(s) did not match any column in this output and were ignored; \
+             COLUMN must match the displayed header text, case-insensitive"
+        );
+    }

Apply the same change to the two warn!("{message}") call sites in crates/admin-cli/src/machine/show/cmd.rs.

Remove the write-only selected field.

selected is populated in new but never read. ordered_headers only tests it for presence, and the actual matching runs over requested with eq_ignore_ascii_case. requested.is_empty() already expresses "no filter requested", because new returns Self::default() for an empty slice.

Dropping the field also removes the second case-folding rule in this type. Today selected and describe_unmatched_columns fold with Unicode to_lowercase, while ordered_headers folds with eq_ignore_ascii_case. One rule is easier to keep correct.

♻️ Proposed refactor
 #[derive(Debug, Clone, Default)]
 pub(crate) struct ColumnSelection {
-    // `None` means no filter was requested: show every column.
-    selected: Option<HashSet<String>>,
-    // As typed by the user, for building the unmatched-column warning.
+    // As typed by the user. Empty means no filter was requested: show every column.
     requested: Vec<String>,
 }
 
 impl ColumnSelection {
     pub(crate) fn new(requested: &[String]) -> Self {
-        if requested.is_empty() {
-            return Self::default();
-        }
         Self {
-            selected: Some(requested.iter().map(|c| c.to_lowercase()).collect()),
             requested: requested.to_vec(),
         }
     }

Then adjust the guard in ordered_headers:

-        let Some(_) = &self.selected else {
+        if self.requested.is_empty() {
             return headers.to_vec();
-        };
+        }

Extract the shared unmatched-column diagnostic.

This function repeats ColumnWidths::describe_unmatched_columns (lines 124-152) exactly, apart from the option name in the leading clause. Two copies of the same message will drift.

Define or propagate display options for single-machine output.

handle_show accepts --max-width and --columns with a machine ID, but show_machine_information uses neither option. Therefore, those options are silently ignored for single-machine output. If they are list-only, reject them with the machine argument and document that scope. Otherwise, apply them in the single-machine rendering path and add a regression test.

single-machine path between handle_show and show_machine_information so
--max-width and --columns are either propagated into rendering and applied
consistently, or rejected for the machine argument with matching scope
documentation. Do not silently ignore these options, and add a regression test
covering the chosen behavior.

Clarify the truncation-marker wording in both command references.

Both pages say values with ...., which is ambiguous and reads as a typo. Use clear wording such as values with an ellipsis, or document the exact marker emitted by truncate_line.

  • docs/manuals/nico-admin-cli/commands/machine/machine-show.md#L40-L41: replace values with .... with the agreed truncation description.
  • docs/manuals/nico-admin-cli/commands/managed-host/managed-host-show.md#L43-L44: apply the same wording.

**--columns** *\<COLUMN\>*
Only show these columns, in the order given. Comma-separated and/or
repeatable. COLUMN must exactly match the columns displayed header text
(case-insensitive), e.g. --columns id,state. For a header containing
spaces, quote it, e.g. --columns "id,state version". Omit to show every
column in the table's normal order. An unmatched COLUMN is ignored with a
warning listing the valid headers for this invocation.

Document the always-present health column.

ColumnSelection::ordered_headers keeps the unnamed health indicator column first. Therefore, --columns state,id also emits the leading U or H cell. The text currently says “Only show these columns,” which omits this behavior. State that the health column is always retained and cannot be selected by name, or change the implementation to match the documented contract.

As per path instructions, Markdown documentation must be technically correct and clear.
