## Blocking Issues (Must Fix Before Merge)

### HIGH: New `exitOnError`/`exitOnNull` utility functions have zero unit tests
**Location**: `src/cli/services.ts:15-37`
**Confidence**: 95%
**Category**: Tests (Reviewer)

These two new public functions are now the single point of error handling for the entire CLI layer:
- Used in 4 command files: `logs.ts`, `status.ts`, `schedule.ts`, `services.ts`
- ~15 call sites across the codebase
- Handle critical behavior: error-to-exit flow, spinner management, process termination

**Problem**: Zero dedicated unit tests. The functions call `process.exit(1)` -- getting them wrong means the CLI either crashes silently or succeeds when it should fail. No test file exists covering `exitOnError` or `exitOnNull`.

**Fix**: Add `tests/unit/cli/services.test.ts` with test coverage:
```typescript
// tests/unit/cli/services.test.ts
describe('exitOnError', () => {
  it('returns unwrapped value on ok result', () => {
    const result = ok(42);
    expect(exitOnError(result)).toBe(42);
  });

  it('calls process.exit(1) on err result', () => {
    vi.spyOn(process, 'exit').mockImplementation(() => undefined as never);
    const result = err(new AutobeatError(...));
    exitOnError(result);
    expect(process.exit).toHaveBeenCalledWith(1);
  });

  it('stops spinner before exiting on error', () => {
    const spinner = { stop: vi.fn() };
    const result = err(new AutobeatError(...));
    exitOnError(result, spinner as any);
    expect(spinner.stop).toHaveBeenCalled();
  });
});

describe('exitOnNull', () => {
  it('returns value when non-null', () => {
    expect(exitOnNull('hello', undefined, 'msg')).toBe('hello');
  });

  it('calls process.exit(1) on null/undefined', () => {
    vi.spyOn(process, 'exit').mockImplementation(() => undefined as never);
    exitOnNull(null, undefined, 'not found');
    expect(process.exit).toHaveBeenCalledWith(1);
  });

  it('stops spinner with custom stop message', () => {
    const spinner = { stop: vi.fn() };
    exitOnNull(undefined, spinner as any, 'msg', 'Custom');
    expect(spinner.stop).toHaveBeenCalledWith('Custom');
  });
});
```

### MEDIUM: Spinner stop message changed from "Initialization failed" to "Failed"
**Location**: `src/cli/services.ts:15-25`
**Confidence**: 85-90%
**Category**: Consistency, Regression (Multiple Reviewers)

Both `withReadOnlyContext()` and `withServices()` originally called `s?.stop('Initialization failed')` on all three failure branches. The new `exitOnError()` helper uses hardcoded `s?.stop('Failed')`.

**Problem**: Loss of descriptive error messaging. Users who fail to initialize now see generic "Failed" instead of context-specific "Initialization failed".

**Fix**: Add `stopMsg` parameter to `exitOnError` (like `exitOnNull` already has):
```typescript
export function exitOnError<T>(
  result: Result<T>,
  s?: Spinner,
  prefix?: string,
  stopMsg = 'Failed',  // NEW: default parameter
): T {
  if (!result.ok) {
    s?.stop(stopMsg);
    ui.error(prefix ? `${prefix}: ${result.error.message}` : result.error.message);
    process.exit(1);
  }
  return result.value;
}
```

Then in `withServices` (around line 70):
```typescript
const container = exitOnError(
  await bootstrap({ mode: 'cli' }),
  s,
  'Bootstrap failed',
  'Initialization failed',  // NEW: pass custom stop message
);
```

## Should-Fix Issues (Strongly Recommended)

### MEDIUM: Extracted `registerWorker` private method deserves clarity in tests
**Location**: `src/implementations/event-driven-worker-pool.ts:211-248`
**Confidence**: 82%
**Category**: Tests (Reviewer)

The `registerWorker` method was extracted from `spawn()` as a pure refactor. Existing tests cover this behavior indirectly (spawn success at line 145, UNIQUE constraint rollback at line 691), and all paths still pass.

**Problem**: The extracted method is now a named unit of logic but the test comment still references the parent `spawn()`. If someone later modifies `registerWorker` without realizing it must roll back on failure, the test failure message would be confusing.

**Fix**: Add clarifying comment to the UNIQUE constraint test at line 691:
```typescript
it('should return error when workerRepository.register fails (UNIQUE constraint) — validates registerWorker rollback', async () => {
  // existing test body
});
```

---

### LOW: Incomplete adoption of `exitOnError`/`exitOnNull` in remaining CLI commands
**Location**: `src/cli/commands/{cancel,retry,resume,pipeline,run}.ts` and `src/cli/commands/agents.ts`
**Confidence**: 80-90%
**Category**: Consistency (Multiple Reviewers)

The PR introduces helpers and applies them in `logs.ts`, `status.ts`, `schedule.ts`, and `services.ts`. However, 6 other CLI command files still use the old `if (!result.ok) { ... process.exit(1) }` pattern:
- `cancel.ts:12`
- `retry.ts:12`
- `resume.ts:17`
- `agents.ts:117,168`
- `pipeline.ts:52`
- `run.ts:218,226,262`

**Problem**: Creates inconsistency in the CLI layer. Developers won't know which pattern to follow in new code.

**Fix**: Document as a follow-up issue or note that `run.ts` has a special case (calls `container.dispose()` before exit) that would need different handling.

---

## Pre-Existing Issues (Informational Only)

### HIGH: `scheduleCreate` function exceeds 50-line complexity threshold
**Location**: `src/cli/commands/schedule.ts:61-249`
**Confidence**: 92%
**Category**: Complexity (Reviewer)

189-line function with manually-written argument parser containing ~15 branches in a single for-loop. Cyclomatic complexity of the arg-parsing section is approximately 17.

**Impact**: Not introduced by this PR. The PR reduced some complexity by replacing if/else Result blocks with `exitOnError`, but the function remains well above threshold.

**Fix**: Extract argument-parsing loop into dedicated `parseScheduleArgs()` function in a separate PR.

---

### MEDIUM: Duplicate `Date.now()` calls in `registerWorker`
**Location**: `src/implementations/event-driven-worker-pool.ts:222,238`
**Confidence**: 82%
**Category**: Performance (Reviewer)

`Date.now()` called twice independently for `WorkerState.startedAt` and DB registration. Timestamps can differ by microseconds, creating semantic inconsistency between in-memory and database state.

**Impact**: Negligible runtime cost (two sub-microsecond calls), but semantic inconsistency could cause confusing diagnostics.

**Fix**: Capture once and reuse:
```typescript
const now = Date.now();
const worker: WorkerState = { ..., startedAt: now, ... };
// ...
this.workerRepository.register({ ..., startedAt: now, ... });
```

---

### MEDIUM: CLI command files lack explicit return type annotations
**Location**: `cancel.ts:5`, `retry.ts:5`, `resume.ts:5`, `pipeline.ts:5`
**Confidence**: 82%
**Category**: Consistency (Reviewer)

This PR added explicit `Promise<void>` return types to `scheduleCreate`, `scheduleCancel`, `schedulePause`, and `scheduleResume`, establishing a pattern. Peer functions in untouched files still lack annotations.

**Impact**: Creates visibility disparity. The refactored functions now look more polished than their peer functions.

**Fix**: Address in follow-up PR sweeping remaining CLI commands.

---

### MEDIUM: No direct tests for `withReadOnlyContext`/`withServices` refactoring
**Location**: `src/cli/services.ts:50-77`
**Confidence**: 65%
**Category**: Tests (Reviewer)

These functions were refactored from inline error handling to `exitOnError` delegation. Behavior is implicitly tested through CLI simulation tests, but the path is not directly exercised.

**Impact**: Low in isolation. Existing tests pass and behavior is identical. Covered indirectly by integration tests.

---

### LOW: Partial adoption of spinner message customization
**Location**: `src/cli/services.ts:15-36`
**Confidence**: 70%
**Category**: Architecture (Reviewer)

`exitOnNull` has `stopMsg` parameter for customization, but `exitOnError` hardcodes `'Failed'`. Asymmetry may confuse developers.

**Fix**: Addressed by the MEDIUM blocking issue fix above.

---

### LOW: Test environment stub of `process.exit` may not behave as expected
**Location**: `src/cli/services.ts:15,25`
**Confidence**: 65%
**Category**: Regression (Reviewer)

TypeScript's control flow analysis depends on `process.exit`: never. If test environment stubs it to not actually exit, the function returns `undefined` as `T`, causing downstream issues.

**Fix**: When writing unit tests, mock `process.exit` to throw an error or ensure it actually terminates the process.

## Action Plan

### Before Merge (REQUIRED)
1. **Add unit tests** for `exitOnError` and `exitOnNull` in `tests/unit/cli/services.test.ts`
   - Mock `process.exit` in all test cases
   - Cover success paths, error paths, spinner behavior, custom messages
   - Estimated effort: 1-2 hours

2. **Restore spinner message customization** by adding `stopMsg` parameter to `exitOnError`
   - Update `withReadOnlyContext` and `withServices` to pass `'Initialization failed'`
   - Estimated effort: 15 minutes

### Recommended Follow-Ups (Separate PRs)
1. **Sweep remaining 6 CLI command files** to use `exitOnError`/`exitOnNull` (note `run.ts` special case)
2. **Extract `parseScheduleArgs`** from 189-line `scheduleCreate` function
3. **Add return type annotations** to `cancel.ts`, `retry.ts`, `resume.ts`, `pipeline.ts` commands
4. **Capture `Date.now()` once** in `registerWorker` for semantic consistency
5. **Clarify test comments** in worker pool UNIQUE constraint test

## Net Assessment

**Code Quality**: Excellent. The refactoring is clean, well-motivated, and reduces boilerplate by 47 lines while preserving all existing behavior.

**Architectural Merit**: Strong. The new helpers follow DIP (depend on Result from core, not vice versa) and eliminate a repeated 4-line pattern. The `registerWorker` extraction improves SRP.

**Risk Level**: Very Low. This is mechanical refactoring with zero new security surface. All changes preserve existing invariants (UNIQUE violation rollback, parameterized queries, process termination semantics).

**Blocking Factors**: One blocking issue (unit tests) and one high-confidence consistency issue (spinner message). Both are straightforward to fix and do not require architectural changes.

---

**Recommendation**: CHANGES_REQUESTED

This PR is well-executed tech debt. Approve after:
1. Adding unit tests for `exitOnError`/`exitOnNull`
2. Restoring "Initialization failed" spinner message via `stopMsg` parameter
