ezl-keygraph d41ae9c20d feat(cli): overhaul commands and add live scan status (#424)
* refactor(cli): list workspaces natively instead of via the worker image

* feat(cli): preflight that Docker is installed and running

* feat(cli): stop scans by workspace or --all, terminating their Temporal workflows

* fix(worker): abort the running agent on cancellation so Temporal cancel takes effect

* refactor(cli): split destructive teardown out of stop into a reset command

* refactor(cli): centralise flag parsing and confirmation across commands

* fix(cli): pass provider credentials to docker by name to keep secrets out of argv

* feat(cli): add per-command help via <command> --help/-h and help <command>

* feat(cli): replace raw docker output with clack spinners for infra and scan teardown

* fix(cli): verify scan stop by re-querying container and workflow state instead of assuming success

* fix(cli): resolve running state before prompting on stop and report no-op stops honestly

* refactor(cli): show splash first and drive start with one spinner resolving to a clean line

* fix(cli): validate --url up front so a bad value fails cleanly instead of a late crash

* refactor(cli): centralize error reporting with fail() for expected errors and a crash handler that logs the stack and links the issue tracker

* feat(cli): add --json/--plain machine-readable output to workspaces and status

* refactor(cli): remove the workspaces command

* refactor(cli): remove the status command

* feat(cli): add 'progress <workspace>' — live scan progress from Temporal

* fix(cli): mark metric-less agents as skipped in progress, not done

* feat(cli): animate running agents in progress with a clack-style spinner

* feat(cli): rename progress->status, reveal agents as they run, show live per-agent elapsed

* fix(cli): mark passed-over phases as skipped live, not pending

* style(cli): rename status footer 'Wall-clock' to 'Time Taken', drop the parenthetical

* style(cli): drop '(sum of agents)' from status total cost line

* style(cli): green filled circle for completed, Shannon gold for running

* style(cli): use Shannon gold in place of green in status

* feat(cli): suggest closest command or flag on typo

* refactor(cli): single-source start help and drop ./repos bare-name shortcut

* feat(cli): name providers and fix in multi-provider credential error

* feat(cli): support --flag=value syntax and expand leading ~ in paths

* refactor(cli): centralize ANSI color codes in colors.ts

* feat(cli): add scans command listing completed scans with cost and duration

* fix(cli): keep stdout clean off-TTY for logs and start

* feat(cli): add repo link to top-level help

* feat(worker): record auth-validation metrics and register resume attempts early

* refactor(cli): share resume-aware workflow-id resolution and surface root-cause failures

* feat(cli): add status --json, auth phase, dashboard link, and stable live redraw

* refactor(cli): drop cost from status and scans output

* feat(worker): surface both PDF and markdown report at run root

* refactor(cli): normalize error/warning prefixing through fail and warn

* feat(cli): add version --json for machine-readable output

* refactor(cli): rename start --debug to --keep-container

* refactor(cli): point start's progress hint at status instead of the Temporal dashboard

* refactor(cli): centralize the mode-aware command prefix

* refactor(cli): trim start and logs output to durable facts off-TTY

* feat(cli): require typed confirmation for reset instead of --yes

reset permanently wipes all Temporal data and volumes — a severe,
irreversible action. Replace its default y/N confirm (bypassable with
--yes) with a typed-word confirmation that has no bypass, so the wipe
can only be triggered by a deliberate interactive answer.

* feat(cli): surface logs and status hints after start on a TTY

* feat(cli): exit 2 on usage errors, distinct from operational failures

* feat(cli): add start --follow to stream logs and exit on scan outcome

* refactor(cli): redesign splash with sunset-gradient wordmark and truecolor

* refactor(cli): remove the uninstall command

* docs: sync CLI docs with removed uninstall/workspaces, new scans and --follow

* docs: fix reset confirmation — typed confirm, not --yes/-y

* style(cli): restructure status footer with divider, aligned Logs/Temporal rows

* feat(cli): show splash in the status command

* fix(worker): validate auth-state shape, not entry count

* docs: correct reset confirmation and add markdown report to run-root docs

Workspaces and Resuming

Shannon uses workspaces to store scan state, logs, prompts, and deliverables. Workspaces allow interrupted or failed runs to resume without re-running completed agents.

How Workspaces Work

  • Every run creates a workspace.
  • Auto-named workspaces use the target hostname and a session ID, such as example-com_shannon-1771007534808.
  • npx mode stores workspaces in ~/.shannon/workspaces/.
  • Source-build mode stores workspaces in ./workspaces/.
  • Use -w <name> to give a run a custom name.
  • To resume a run, pass the same workspace name with -w.
  • Each agent's progress is checkpointed so resumed runs can skip completed work.
  • The final report is surfaced at the workspace root as Security-Assessment-Report.pdf and Security-Assessment-Report.md. Run internals — deliverables, logs, prompts, and session state — live under a hidden .shannon/ directory.

Note

The URL must match the original workspace URL when resuming. Shannon rejects mismatched URLs to prevent cross-target contamination.

Examples

Start with a named workspace:

npx @keygraph/shannon start -u https://example.com -r /path/to/repo -w my-audit

Resume the same workspace:

npx @keygraph/shannon start -u https://example.com -r /path/to/repo -w my-audit

Resume an auto-named workspace:

npx @keygraph/shannon start -u https://example.com -r /path/to/repo -w example-com_shannon-1771007534808

List completed scans:

npx @keygraph/shannon scans

Source-build equivalents:

./shannon start -u https://example.com -r /path/to/repo -w my-audit
./shannon start -u https://example.com -r /path/to/repo -w example-com_shannon-1771007534808
./shannon scans
