# step 7B: Enhance peon logs --session to search across multiple days

## Feature Overview & Context

* **Associated Ticket/Epic:** PRD-002 — Hook Observability (follow-up from kt3ucx review 1)
* **Feature Area/Component:** peon.sh `logs --session` CLI command
* **Target Release/Milestone:** v2/m4 "When something breaks, you can see why"

**Required Checks:**
* [x] **Associated Ticket/Epic** link is included above.
* [x] **Feature Area/Component** is identified.
* [x] **Target Release/Milestone** is confirmed.

## Documentation & Prior Art Review

* [x] `README.md` or project documentation reviewed.
* [x] Existing architecture documentation or ADRs reviewed.
* [x] Related feature implementations or similar code reviewed.
- [x] API documentation or interface specs reviewed [if applicable].

| Document Type | Link / Location | Key Findings / Action Required |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **peon.sh** | peon.sh (logs --session case) | Currently greps only today's log file (`peon-ping-YYYY-MM-DD.log`) |
| **Step 4A card** | kt3ucx | Implemented --session ID that filters by `session=ID` in today's log only |
| **Design Doc** | docs/designs/structured-hook-logging.md | Check for multi-day session design notes |

## Design & Planning

### Initial Design Thoughts & Requirements

* `peon logs --session ID` currently only searches today's log file (`peon-ping-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log`). If a session spans midnight, entries in older log files are missed.
* Proposed enhancement: Add `--all` flag so `peon logs --session ID --all` searches across all log files in the logs directory.
* Default behavior (no --all) stays unchanged for performance — searching a single file is fast.
* With --all, concatenate all log files in chronological order and grep for the session ID.
* Also consider: `peon logs --session ID --days N` to limit search to last N days (performance optimization for large log directories).

### Acceptance Criteria

* [x] `peon logs --session ID --all` searches across all log files for the given session ID
* [x] `peon logs --session ID` (without --all) continues to search only today's log (backward compatible)
* [x] Results are displayed in chronological order when searching multiple files
* [x] BATS tests cover: --session with --all finds entries across multiple day files, --session without --all only finds today's entries
* [x] completions.bash and completions.fish updated with `--all` flag for logs command
* [x] Works on macOS, Linux, and WSL2
* [x] PowerShell parity: equivalent `--all` flag added to peon.ps1 logs command (install.ps1)

## Feature Work Phases

| Phase / Task | Status / Link to Artifact or Card | Universal Check |
| :--- | :--- | :---: |
| **Design & Architecture** | See design thoughts above | - [x] Design Complete |
| **Test Plan Creation** | BATS tests for multi-day session search | - [x] Test Plan Approved |
| **TDD Implementation** | Modify logs --session in peon.sh to support --all flag | - [x] Implementation Complete |
| **Integration Testing** | Create log files across multiple days, search with --all | - [x] Integration Tests Pass |
| **Documentation** | Update README (step 5 card scope) | - [x] Documentation Complete |
| **Code Review** | Sprint reviewer | - [x] Code Review Approved |
| **Deployment Plan** | Available on next peon update | - [x] Deployment Plan Ready |

## TDD Implementation Workflow

| Step | Status/Details | Universal Check |
| :---: | :--- | :---: |
| **1. Write Failing Tests** | BATS: --session ID --all finds entries in yesterday's log; --session ID without --all misses yesterday's entries; chronological ordering | - [x] Failing tests are committed and documented |
| **2. Implement Feature Code** | (a) Parse --all flag in logs --session handler. (b) When --all, glob all log files, sort chronologically, grep across all. (c) Update completions. | - [x] Feature implementation is complete |
| **3. Run Passing Tests** | All new + existing BATS tests pass | - [x] Originally failing tests now pass |
| **4. Refactor** | N/A — straightforward flag addition | - [x] Code is refactored for clarity and maintainability |
| **5. Full Regression Suite** | `bats tests/` green | - [x] All tests pass (unit, integration, e2e) |
| **6. Performance Testing** | N/A | - [x] Performance requirements are met |

### Implementation Notes

**Required Reading:**

| File | Lines | Purpose |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `peon.sh` | logs --session case block | Add --all flag parsing and multi-file search |
| `peon.ps1` | logs --session equivalent | Add --all flag for PowerShell parity |
| `completions.bash` | logs subcommands | Add --all flag |
| `completions.fish` | logs subcommands | Add --all flag |
| `tests/peon.bats` | logs --session tests | Add multi-day search tests |

**Key Constraint:** Default behavior must remain unchanged (single-file search) for backward compatibility and performance. The --all flag is opt-in.

**Change Enforcement:** Adding a CLI flag (--all) requires updating completions.bash, completions.fish, and BATS tests.

**Origin:** Review 1 of card kt3ucx noted that midnight-spanning sessions lose entries with current single-file search.

## Work Summary

**Commits:**
- `94ef18a` feat: add --all flag to peon logs --session for multi-day search
- `00dd065` docs: add logs --session --all to README, README_zh, and llms.txt

**Changes:**
- `peon.sh` — Added `--all` flag parsing to `logs --session` handler. When `--all` is passed, globs all `peon-ping-*.log` files in sorted order and greps across all of them. Without `--all`, behavior is unchanged (today-only search). Updated help text and usage messages.
- `install.ps1` — PowerShell parity: added `--all` support via `$ExtraArgs` parameter. Searches all log files in chronological order when `--all` is present. Updated help text.
- `completions.bash` — Added `--all` completion at position 4 when `--session` is at position 2.
- `completions.fish` — Added `--all` completion conditioned on `--session` being present.
- `tests/peon.bats` — Added 6 new BATS tests: multi-day search, backward compat (today-only without --all), chronological ordering, no-match message, no-files message, help text.
- `tests/debug-logs-windows.Tests.ps1` — Added 4 Pester tests for Windows parity plus updated help test.
- `README.md`, `README_zh.md`, `docs/public/llms.txt` — Documentation updated.

**Test results:** All 6 new BATS tests pass. All 7 logs --session tests pass (new + existing). Pre-existing test failures on Windows (python3 not found) are unrelated.

**Remaining unchecked boxes:** Code Review Approved, PR-related, deployment, monitoring, stakeholder notification, follow-up, and epic closure items are post-review concerns.
