evandance 2b4c6349a1 feat(event): emit typed error envelopes across the event domain (#1289)
Replace every command-facing error path in the event domain — the
consume/schema command layer, the +subscribe shortcut, EventKey
definitions, and the consume orchestration — with typed errs.*
envelopes, so consumers get stable type, subtype, param, hint, and
missing_scopes metadata for classification and recovery instead of
free-form message text.

- Input validation (--jq, --param, --output-dir, --filter, --route,
  unknown EventKey, EventKey params) reports validation /
  invalid_argument with the offending flag in param and an actionable
  hint.
- Scope preflight reports authorization / missing_scope with the
  machine-readable missing_scopes list; console-subscription and
  single-bus preconditions report failed_precondition with recovery
  hints.
- The consume API boundary passes already-typed errors through and
  classifies transport, non-JSON HTTP, and unparsable responses; the
  vc note-detail retry now matches the not-found code on typed errors
  (it silently never fired against the legacy envelope shape).
- Previously-bare failures exited 1 with a plain-text "Error:" line
  and now exit with their category code (validation 2, auth 3,
  network 4, internal 5) alongside the typed stderr envelope.
- forbidigo and errscontract guards now cover the event paths so
  regressions fail lint; AGENTS.md and the lark-event skill document
  the typed contract for agent consumers.

Validation: make unit-test (race) green; event unit and e2e suites
assert category/subtype/param/hint and cause preservation against the
real binary; errscontract and golangci lint clean.

Goal (pick one per PR)

  • Make CLI better: improve UX, error messages, help text, flags, and output clarity.
  • Improve reliability: fix bugs, edge cases, and regressions with tests.
  • Improve developer velocity: simplify code paths, reduce complexity, keep behavior explicit.
  • Improve quality gates: strengthen tests/lint/checks without adding heavy process.

Build & Test

make build          # Build (runs fetch_meta first)
make unit-test      # Required before PR (runs with -race)
make test           # Full: vet + unit + integration

Notification Opt-Outs

lark-cli emits two notice types into JSON envelope _notice to nudge AI agents toward fixes:

  • _notice.update — a newer binary is available on npm
  • _notice.skills — locally installed skills are out of sync with the running binary

To suppress them in non-CI scripts (CI envs are auto-skipped):

Env var Effect
LARKSUITE_CLI_NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER=1 Suppress _notice.update
LARKSUITE_CLI_NO_SKILLS_NOTIFIER=1 Suppress _notice.skills

Both notices recommend the same fix command: lark-cli update. The skills notice's current field is "" when skills have never been synced (cold start) and a version string when synced for an older binary (drift).

Pre-PR Checks (match CI gates)

  1. make unit-test
  2. go vet ./...
  3. gofmt -l . — must produce no output
  4. go mod tidy — must not change go.mod/go.sum
  5. go run github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/v2/cmd/golangci-lint@v2.1.6 run --new-from-rev=origin/main
  6. If dependencies changed: go run github.com/google/go-licenses/v2@v2.0.1 check ./... --disallowed_types=forbidden,restricted,reciprocal,unknown

Who Uses This CLI

This CLI's primary consumers include AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI). Your code is read by machines — error messages, output format, and flag design all directly affect agent success rates.

The one rule to internalize: every error message you write will be parsed by an AI to decide its next action. Make errors structured, actionable, and specific.

Code Conventions

Structured errors in commands

Command-facing failures must be typed errs.* errors — never the legacy output.Err* helpers and never a final bare fmt.Errorf. AI agents parse the stderr envelope's type / subtype / param / hint fields to decide their next action; the full taxonomy lives in errs/ERROR_CONTRACT.md.

Picking a constructor:

Failure Constructor
User flag/arg fails validation errs.NewValidationError(errs.SubtypeInvalidArgument, ...).WithParam("--flag")
Valid request, wrong system state errs.NewValidationError(errs.SubtypeFailedPrecondition, ...).WithHint(...)
Lark API returned code != 0 runtime.CallAPITyped (shortcuts) / errclass.BuildAPIError (raw responses) — never hand-build
Network / transport failure errs.NewNetworkError(errs.SubtypeNetworkTransport, ...)
Local file I/O failure errs.NewInternalError(errs.SubtypeFileIO, ...) — validate the path first (validate.SafeInputPath / SafeOutputPath) and use vfs.*
Unclassified lower-layer error as final errs.NewInternalError(errs.SubtypeUnknown, ...).WithCause(err)
Lower layer already returned a typed error pass it through unchanged — re-wrapping downgrades its classification

Signatures that are easy to guess wrong:

  • runtime.CallAPITyped(method, url string, params map[string]interface{}, data interface{}) (map[string]interface{}, error) — it performs the HTTP request itself and classifies code != 0 into a typed error; just return the error it gives you.
  • Typed pass-through check: if _, ok := errs.ProblemOf(err); ok { return err }ProblemOf returns (*errs.Problem, bool), not a nilable pointer.
  • .WithParam exists only on *errs.ValidationError. InternalError / NetworkError have no param field — file or endpoint context goes in the message or .WithHint(...).

forbidigo + lint/errscontract reject the legacy output.Err* helpers, bare final fmt.Errorf / errors.New, and legacy envelope literals on migrated paths. Beyond what lint catches, three authoring conventions apply:

  • Preserve the underlying error with .WithCause(err) so errors.Is / errors.Unwrap keep working.
  • param names only the user input that actually failed. Recovery guidance goes in .WithHint(...); machine-readable recovery fields (missing_scopes, log_id) carry server/system ground truth only — never caller-side guesses.
  • Error-path tests assert typed metadata via errs.ProblemOf (category / subtype / param) and cause preservation, not message substrings alone.

stdout is data, stderr is everything else

Program output (JSON envelopes) goes to stdout. Progress, warnings, hints go to stderr. Mixing them corrupts pipe chains.

Use vfs.* instead of os.*

All filesystem access goes through internal/vfs. This enables test mocking.

Validate paths before reading

CLI arguments are untrusted (they come from AI agents). Call validate.SafeInputPath before any file I/O.

Tests

  • Every behavior change needs a test alongside the change.
  • cmdutil.TestFactory(t, config) for test factories.
  • t.Setenv("LARKSUITE_CLI_CONFIG_DIR", t.TempDir()) to isolate config state.

E2E Testing

Dry-run E2E (required for every shortcut change)

  • Validates request structure without calling real APIs
  • Place in tests/cli_e2e/dryrun/ or the corresponding domain directory
  • Set env vars LARKSUITE_CLI_APP_ID/APP_SECRET/BRAND, use --dry-run, assert method/URL/params
  • No secrets needed — runs on fork PRs
  • Explore correct params with lark-cli <domain> --help and lark-cli schema first

Live E2E (required for new flows or behavior changes)

  • Validates real API round-trips
  • Place in tests/cli_e2e/<domain>/
  • Must be self-contained: create -> use -> cleanup
  • Needs bot credentials (CI secrets, skipped on fork PRs)
  • Reference: tests/cli_e2e/task/task_status_workflow_test.go
Change Dry-run E2E Live E2E
