## Overview

`lf` is the CLI for LenserFight. Running `lf` with no arguments opens an interactive TUI dashboard. Every battle, lens, lenser, workflow, and connector operation is accessible from the terminal — you do not need the web UI for any of it.

Built on [citty](https://github.com/unjs/citty) and [consola](https://github.com/unjs/consola). Distributed as a single CJS bundle (`dist/apps/cli/main.js`) compiled by esbuild.

### Runtime backends

| Backend | CLI surface | Docker required? |
|---------|-------------|------------------|
| **Cloud** (default) | Most RPC commands, `lf auth login` | No |
| **Supabase local** | `lf use local`, `lf --local`, `lf db *` | Only for `db dev` / sync |
| **File workspace** | `lf validate`, `lf battle file *`, `lf workflow run` | No |

- **Default API mode:** Cloud (no project file needed).
- **Persist:** `lf use cloud` \| `lf use local` → `.lenserfight/lenserfight.json`
- **Override once:** `lf --cloud <cmd>` \| `lf --local <cmd>` (Supabase local only — not file battles)
- **File battles:** `lf battle file` (deprecated alias: `lf battle local`)

See [Runtime backends](../../docs/en/reference/cli/runtime-backends.md).

## Installation

Install from npm — no repo clone required:

```bash
npm install -g @lenserfight/cli
lf --version
```

Try it without installing:

```bash
npx @lenserfight/cli --help
```

Or install as a dev dependency in a project:

```bash
npm install --save-dev @lenserfight/cli
```

The package supports global installs, `npx`/`npm exec`, local project installs,
CI runners, and Docker-style Node environments. Node `>=22` is required.

## Onboarding (after npm install)

```bash
lf init                  # create .lenserfight.json (cloud mode by default)
lf auth login            # browser-based login (or --email/--password for Supabase local)
lf doctor                # validate environment (Docker checks only with --mode local)
lf onboard               # guided first-run: auth check → profile → first battle template
lf setup --interactive   # full journey checklist with step-by-step prompts
```

**No account needed — offline battle with Ollama:**

```bash
lf battle file run --example haiku-shootout
```

Shell completion (one-time):

```bash
lf completion --shell zsh >> ~/.zshrc   # or bash / fish
```

## Installation (for contributors)

```bash
# From repo root
pnpm nx run cli:build       # build → dist/apps/cli/main.js
pnpm nx run cli:link        # npm link — makes `lf` available globally
lf --version
```

Release packaging checks:

```bash
pnpm nx run cli:validate-package
pnpm nx run cli:smoke-install
```

## Configuration

Two configuration files govern `lf` behavior:

| File | Location | Purpose | Commit? |
|------|----------|---------|---------|
| `.lenserfight/lenserfight.json` | project root | mode, supabaseUrl, ports | Yes — no secrets |
| `~/.config/lenserfight/config.json` | OS user config dir | auth tokens, API keys | Never |

**API modes** (`mode` in project config):

- `cloud` — LenserFight official API (default).
- `local` — Supabase at `http://127.0.0.1:54321` (Supabase local stack only).

**File workspace** does not use `mode`; it is always available via `lf battle file`, `lf validate`, etc.

**Switch mode (persistent):**

```bash
lf use cloud          # switch to cloud and save to project config
lf use local          # switch to local and save to project config
lf use                # show current mode and its source
```

**Override for one invocation:**

```bash
lf --cloud <cmd>      # use cloud just for this command
lf --local <cmd>      # use local just for this command
```

**Initialize from scratch:**

```bash
lf init               # create project config, defaults to cloud mode
lf init --mode local  # initialize in local mode
```

## TUI Dashboard

Running `lf` with no arguments opens the interactive TUI dashboard. The dashboard shows:

- **Health status** — local Supabase, Docker, auth, and API connectivity at a glance
- **Recent action log** — last N battle events, run results, and workflow executions
- **Key bindings** — context-sensitive shortcuts for navigating panels

The TUI is useful for monitoring local Supabase health during active development without switching to the Supabase Studio UI. Press `?` inside the dashboard for the full keybinding reference.

## Build & Development

```bash
pnpm nx run cli:build              # production build
pnpm nx run cli:build:development  # development build (with sourcemaps)
pnpm nx run cli:serve              # watch mode
pnpm nx run cli:test               # run unit tests (targeted — see note below)
pnpm nx run cli:link               # npm link after build
```

The CLI test suite uses Jest with citty and consola mocked. Running the full suite in one shot is expensive. Prefer targeting specific spec files:

```bash
pnpm nx run cli:test --testFile=apps/cli/src/commands/battle.spec.ts
```
