filip131311 a6f1bef632 fix(cli): stop argent mcp --help starting the server, and argent tools --help dumping the catalogue (#656)
Fixes #638.

## The report understated it

The issue says `argent mcp --help` "does not hang and does not start the
server — it simply prints
nothing". Reproducing it showed the opposite:

```
$ argent mcp --help < /dev/null ; echo $?
0                          # 0 bytes  ← what the reporter saw
$ argent mcp --help        # stdin open (a pipe, an editor, a CI step)
                           # HANGS — I hit a 300s timeout
```

`--help` **starts the MCP stdio server**, which blocks reading JSON-RPC
from stdin. The "prints
nothing, exit 0" is just the server getting an immediate EOF from a
closed stdin. So this is the same
"`--help` runs the real command" bug that was fixed for the installers —
`mcp` was missed.

`startMcpServer` takes no argv at all (`mcp-server.ts:96` — its only
parameter is `{ paths }`), so a
help flag was *structurally* unreachable; there was nowhere downstream
that could have handled it.

## Fix

`mcp` joins the existing guarded set rather than growing a second help
path. That set's defining
property is "the handler never inspects its argv", and `mcp` qualifies
more strongly than the
installers do — it isn't merely ignoring `rest`, it is never handed it.

**It cannot fire on a real launch.** The guard tests `rest`, which is
`[]` for every generated editor
config (all four shapes end at `mcp`, and `isArgentManagedEntry`
requires exactly that), and
`[].some(...)` evaluates no predicate. This is pinned in both
directions, because a guard that *did*
fire here would print usage onto the JSON-RPC channel and break every
editor at handshake — the
highest-cost regression in this file, and it was untested.

The top-level table's `mcp` row now reads the same metadata as its own
help, so the two cannot drift.

**No rename.** An earlier draft renamed the module and six identifiers
(`installer-help` →
`command-help`, etc.) on the grounds that its comments had become false.
They hadn't quite: fixing
`mcp` *and* `tools` makes "every other subcommand parses `--help`
itself" true again — I checked all
ten siblings. Since #530 and #568 both edit `cli.ts`, a rename would
have forced them through churn
for no behavioural gain. Prose-only.

## Second commit: `argent tools --help`

The issue mentions it in passing; it's a different mechanism and a
genuinely dead branch.
`argv.filter((a) => !a.startsWith("--"))` dropped `--help` before the
subcommand was read, so it fell
through to listing all 77 tools — **contacting the tool-server, starting
one if none was running**,
to do it. Only `-h` ever reached the existing help branch.

Scoped to the subcommand position on purpose: a global check would have
broken
`argent tools describe <name> --help`, which today prints *that tool's*
flags. It still does — there
is a test.

Separate commit so it can be reverted alone.

## Verification

Live, against the built CLI:

| | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| `mcp --help`, stdin open | hangs indefinitely | usage, returns
immediately |
| `mcp --help`, stdin closed | 0 bytes, exit 0 | 849 bytes of help, exit
0 |
| `mcp` (real launch) | works | works — verified with an actual
`initialize` handshake, server replies with its capabilities |
| `mcp --metro-port 8082` | starts server | starts server (guard keys on
help, not on "any argv") |
| `tools --help` | 77-line catalogue | usage |
| `tools describe gesture-tap --help` | tool's flags | tool's flags |
| `argent --help` `mcp` row | — | byte-identical |

argent 80 passed, argent-cli 284 passed.

## Note on the help text

Every claim in it is sourced (stdio/JSON-RPC transport, stdout
ownership, the `~/.argent/mcp-calls.log`
default and `ARGENT_MCP_LOG` override, auto-spawn vs
`ARGENT_TOOLS_URL`/`argent link`). It deliberately
does **not** suggest running `argent mcp` by hand to check an install —
that is the reported hang — and
instead says it will look like it has hung and why.

filip131311 8d2a499eaf Project-scope configuration with schema-driven merge + argent config (#534)
## Summary

Adds a general, **scoped** configuration system on top of the shared
`config.json`, plus a universal `argent config` command to manage it.
Motivated by the discussion on #401 (iOS device set): config that needs
to work naturally with the MCP server should be read off disk at runtime
like telemetry consent is — not threaded through CLI flags/env and a
kill-and-respawn dance. This lands the reusable machinery; the
device-set becomes a one-line schema entry + a runtime reader on top of
it.

Four pieces, matching the requirements:

### 1. Project-scope config files
`config.json` now resolves at two scopes:
- `~/.argent/config.json` (**global**, default)
- `<project-root>/.argent/config.json` (**project**, resolved by the
same `.argent`/`.git`/`package.json` marker walk as feature flags)

`configFilePath` / `readConfigObject` / `updateConfig` take an optional
`scope` (default `global`), so **every existing caller is unchanged**
(telemetry, notices, lens). Per-scope lock + atomic write are preserved.

### 2. Schema-driven merged reads
`getConfigValue(def)` reads each scope the value's schema entry allows,
merges them under the entry's policy, and falls back to the entry's
default. This is the reader consumers should call instead of poking at a
single global file. The existing **lens** getters (`getRememberedAgent`
etc.) are migrated onto it as the first live consumer — a repo can now
pin its lens agent, falling back to the user's global choice.

### 3. A registration file for configurations (`config-schema.ts`)
Adding a configuration is a one-liner: `key`, `description`, allowed
`scopes`, a `parse` validator, and a `merge` policy. Merge presets:
- `prioritize-local` (project wins) · `prioritize-global` (global wins)
- `prioritize-restrictive` (booleans/numbers — opt-out/stricter wins)
- `union` / `intersection` (arrays)
- …plus an escape hatch: pass your **own** `(inputs) => value` function
for a bespoke rule.

### 4. `argent config` — one universal command
`argent config <list | get | set | unset>` with `--scope global|project`
and `--json`. New configs are added as **schema entries**, not new
top-level `argent` commands, to avoid bloat.

**Telemetry stays backward-compatible** on its dedicated `argent
telemetry` command (which also drains/resets the live client). It's
surfaced *read-only* under `argent config` via a `manageCommand` guard —
so `argent config set telemetry.enabled` refuses and points at `argent
telemetry`, and a committed project file can never re-enable a global
opt-out (`prioritize-restrictive`, global-only).

## Testing

- **Unit / integration**: 71 configuration-core tests (merge presets +
custom fn, dotted-path + prototype-pollution guards, scope merge,
scope/validation/manage-command errors, `listConfig`, `coerceCliValue`)
and 11 real-filesystem CLI tests driving the actual `config()` entry
point across sandboxed HOME + project cwd. Full suites green:
configuration-core 71, argent-cli 268, telemetry 281, argent 60.
- **Live, on the built binary** (`node packages/argent/dist/cli.js …`):
set global + project (from a deep subdir) → effective get returns the
project value; per-scope gets return each file; both files land in the
right place; `argent telemetry disable/enable` writes `config.json` and
`argent config get telemetry.enabled` reflects it read-only; unknown-key
/ invalid-value / bad-scope errors exit non-zero with hints.
- `tsc --build` across the workspace, prettier, and eslint
(`--max-warnings 0`) all clean.

## Notes / follow-ups
- Config-file reads are not yet fingerprint-cached the way telemetry's
consent read is; a long-lived tool-server re-reads on each
`getConfigValue`. Fine for CLI/low-frequency use; a hot runtime consumer
(e.g. a future device-set reader) may want the same mtime/inode cache.

filip131311 07427917e2 fix(launcher,lens): drop the npm postinstall — its jobs move to runtime (#510)
## Why

Shipping *any* `postinstall` makes pnpm 10+ wall the install behind its
build gate: `ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS`, `pnpm install` exits 1, and `pnpm
exec argent` is unusable until the user runs `pnpm approve-builds` —
their first experience of argent is a bricked CLI. The same script is
also silently skipped by `--ignore-scripts`, Yarn PnP, and locked-down
CI, so anything correctness-relevant in it was already unreliable (the
codebase says as much in several places, e.g. `runTrustingDisk`).

Live-verified during the 0.15.0 QA: with **all builds declined** in pnpm
11, argent installs, inits, and serves MCP fine — the postinstall was
never load-bearing for install correctness. Removing it means pnpm users
never see the approve-builds wall for argent itself.

## What the postinstall did, and where it went

| Job | New home |
|---|---|
| SIGTERM a tool-server stranded by an upgrade that replaced its bundle
dir (pnpm/yarn version-pinned layouts) | `sweepDeadStateFiles` in the
launcher's slow path now retires **live** servers whose recorded bundle
is gone from disk, with the same pid-identity guard as
`killToolServerForInstallDir` (never signal a recycled pid; keep
unidentifiable live records reachable for `server stop`). Same-bundle
in-place bumps were already self-healed by the disk-authoritative
version gate. |
| `chmod +x` node-pty's macOS `spawn-helper` prebuilds (shipped without
the exec bit; first `pty.spawn` otherwise fails `posix_spawnp`) |
`ensureSpawnHelperExecutable()` in `lens-pty.ts`, run when the module
loads, best-effort with the AppleScript fallback intact. |
| Print the `argent init` hint | Dropped — init flows drive the install,
and the hint never printed on pnpm/PnP anyway. |

`ARGENT_SKIP_POSTINSTALL` in `update.ts` is kept deliberately:
downgrades and pinned installs fetch older versions whose postinstall
still exists and honors it.

## Testing

- New `launcher-sweep.test.ts` (6 tests) exercises the sweep against
**real processes**: live-server-with-deleted-bundle is terminated and
its record unlinked; live server with intact bundle untouched;
recycled-pid record kept, not signalled; dead-pid record unlinked;
legacy slot untouched; a SIGTERM-trapping orphan doesn't hold the sweep
(and the spawn lock above it) hostage for its kill grace window — the
record is unlinked and the SIGKILL escalation runs in the background.
- New `ensureSpawnHelperExecutable` tests (real fs, darwin-gated) verify
the +x restore and silent failure; a regression test pins that
`loadNodePty` tolerates req seams without `resolve`.
- Full suites green in all touched packages: tools-client 154, installer
535, cli 248, mcp 76, argent 60.

Jakub Piasecki 551c781fb0 feat(flow): support running end-to-end flows without agent (#429)
# Flow E2E

This PR turns flows from replayable tool-call recordings into a
declarative, portable e2e test system that runs headlessly via `argent
flow run <name>` — no LLM in the loop, non-zero exit on failure,
suitable for CI.

Agents can still replay flows via `flow-execute` and get the full output
from each step after it finishes.

## Flow format

Flows are YAML files in `.argent/flows/`, now built from **directives**
interpreted by the runner rather than raw tool calls:

- `launch` — terminate + relaunch the app under test (per-platform app
id map supported); its presence marks a flow as **e2e** (controls its
own start state) vs. a **fragment** (runs against current state,
declares an `executionPrerequisite`, composable via `run:` with
cycle/depth guards).
- `tap`, `type` (focus handshake + optional submit), `scroll-to`
(momentum-free, increments by half the container, `within:` for nested
scrollers), `await`/`assert` (`visible`/`exists`/`hidden`/`text`
conditions), `wait`, `snapshot`, `echo`, and raw `tool:` as escape hatch
— still fully supported, so previously recorded flows keep working
unchanged.
- **Selectors** are `{ text, identifier, role }`; a bare string is a
loose selector resolving identifier-first, then visible text. Any
directive failure hard-stops the flow; later steps report `skip`.

## Execution engine

- Flows store no device id — the runner binds a device at replay
(explicit `--device`/`--platform` or the single booted one).
- Selector resolution runs against **platform-unified UI trees**: iOS
native view hierarchy (full testID coverage, gated on native-devtools
connecting), Android full accessibility hierarchy (full resource-id
coverage), Chromium CDP DOM, and the Vega automation toolkit. A shared
flatten/text-hoisting pass lets `text` assertions read what an
identified container visibly shows. Vega is remote-driven, so touch
directives fail with guidance to use `tv-remote`/`keyboard`.
- Steps wait for the tree to **settle** (two consecutive identical
reads) before acting; `launch` additionally gates on platform
tree-source readiness instead of silently degrading.

## Visual snapshots

`snapshot` diffs a full-resolution screenshot against baselines in
`.argent/flows/__baselines__/<flow>/`, keyed by platform + resolution,
with configurable `maxMismatch` and `--update-baselines`. The status bar
is pinned for the whole run (iOS `simctl status_bar`, Android demo mode)
so clocks/battery don't drive diffs. Baseline/current/diff images are
returned as artifacts on failure (and the written baseline on first
capture/update); a clean pass carries none, keeping reports and agent
context lean.

## Recording

The record-live workflow (`flow-start-recording` → `flow-add-step` →
`flow-finish-recording`) now emits directives automatically: coordinate
taps are rewritten to portable selector `tap:` steps (selector captured
from the pre-tap tree), a leading `restart-app` becomes `launch:`,
`flow-execute` of a sibling fragment becomes `run:`, and device ids are
stripped. The skill instructs the agent to polish the saved YAML
afterwards (fold tap+keyboard into `type:`, swipes-to-reach into
`scroll-to:`, awaits into sugar form).

## Also included

- `argent flow run` / `argent flow list` CLI with per-step report
rendering, artifact materialization, and `--json` output.
- New structured failure codes for flow validation, device resolution,
composition, and devtools readiness.
- Extensive unit test coverage (tree adapters, selector matching,
scrolling, composition, type focus, snapshots, status bar).

Ignacy Łątka 3f2680788d fix(cli): print help for init/update/uninstall instead of running them (#460)
## The bug

`argent <cmd> --help` for the installer subcommands `init` / `install` /
`update` / `uninstall` / `remove` did not print help — it ran the real,
side-effecting command. `argent uninstall --help` even opened the
destructive "Remove argent configuration from this workspace?" prompt
(with Yes pre-selected).

Root cause: `main()` in `packages/argent/src/cli.ts` dispatched these
subcommands and forwarded `rest` (including `--help`) to the installer
functions, which have no help handling. Only the top-level `--help` case
called `printHelp()`.

## The fix

Intercept `--help`/`-h` for exactly the installer command set before
dispatching, and print a short per-subcommand usage block without
loading or invoking any installer code (no network, no wizard, no
prompt).

- New side-effect-free module `packages/argent/src/installer-help.ts`
exports the pure decision function `installerHelpRequested(command,
rest)` plus `printInstallerHelp(command)`.
- `cli.ts` calls the guard at the top of `main()` and returns early when
help is requested.
- The other subcommands (`run`, `tools`, `server`, `link`, `flags`,
`enable`, `disable`, `telemetry`) already handle `--help` themselves, so
they are deliberately excluded — `argent run <tool> --help` still prints
that tool's flags.

## Verification

- `npm run build` (root tsc) + `npm run build -w @swmansion/argent` —
green.
- Ran the built CLI end-to-end (stdin from /dev/null): `init --help`,
`update --help`, `uninstall --help`, `install --help`, `remove --help`,
`uninstall -h` all print usage and exit 0 with no wizard/network/prompt.
- Regression: `argent --help` still prints top-level help; `argent run
--help` still prints the `run` usage (not intercepted).
- Added unit tests in `packages/argent/test/installer-help.test.ts` for
`installerHelpRequested` / `isInstallerCommand` (8 tests, all pass).
- `prettier` and `eslint` clean on the touched files; test typecheck
passes.

filip131311 7bd017a796 feat(installer): committable repo-local (--local) install mode (#428)
## Summary

Adds an opt-in **committable / repo-local** install mode so a team can
version Argent _with the repo_. `argent init --local` installs
`@swmansion/argent` as a project **devDependency** and writes MCP
configs that launch the project-local copy — so after `git clone && npm
install`, every teammate has the same Argent version and MCP wiring with
**no global install and no per-developer `argent init`**.

**Global mode stays the default** and is unchanged; everything here is
additive and backward-compatible.

Motivation: the workflow some users already do by hand (#207).
Supersedes the earlier, since-closed #232 — this version is Windows-safe
(`node`, not the `.bin` shim), handles Yarn PnP, and closes the
cross-install tool-server hazards rather than leaving them.

## What changed

**`init`**
- `--local` / `--global` flags + an interactive "How should argent be
installed?" prompt. Mutually exclusive; non-interactive (`--yes`)
defaults to **global**.
- Local mode installs the devDependency with the package manager
detected from the project's **lockfile** (run with `cwd = projectRoot`).
- MCP entry points at the local copy: `node
node_modules/@swmansion/argent/dist/cli.js mcp` (the bin path is derived
from the installed `package.json` `bin` and existence-checked — forward
slashes, committable, Windows-safe). Yarn PnP → `yarn argent mcp`; an
`npx --no-install argent mcp` fallback is used only when the bin can't
be resolved.
- Records the mode in a committed `<root>/.argent/install.json`.
- Drops global-only adapters (Windsurf/Hermes) in local mode; prints
team-setup / commit guidance.

**`update`** — detects the project's mode; in local mode reads the
installed version from `node_modules` (not the global binary / npx
cache) and bumps the **devDependency + lockfile**, then re-emits the
local MCP command.

**`uninstall`** — scoped to the project's mode: a local-mode uninstall
removes the **local devDependency only and never the shared global
install**, and prunes `.argent/install.json`. Global-mode behavior is
unchanged.

**Cross-install hardening (the gate that makes per-project pinning
safe)**
- `launcher`: a tool-server is reused only when its `bundlePath` matches
the caller's — a repo-local pin never silently runs against (or kills) a
different version's server.
- `postinstall`: only stops a tool-server spawned from *this package's
own* bundle, so a devDependency install can't tear down an unrelated
editor session.

**Telemetry** — adds an `install_mode` dimension to
init/update/uninstall events.

## Testing

- New unit tests: install-mode helpers + record (`utils`), mode-aware
`getMcpEntry`/`resolveLocalCommandMode` incl. the opencode array form
(`mcp-configs`), local-only uninstall guard (`uninstall`), and
bundlePath-gated tool-server reuse (`launcher`).
- All existing suites green (installer 346, tools-client 115, telemetry
191, registry 83, argent 13, tool-server 1621). Build + lint clean.
- **Live end-to-end** in an isolated sandbox: `init --local` → real MCP
stdio handshake serves **69 tools from `node_modules`**; `update
--local` reads the local version; `uninstall --local` removes the local
install and **leaves the global install intact**; `init --global`
unchanged; flag conflict rejected.

## Notes / known limitations

- Recommended on mainstream platforms (macOS, Linux x64, Windows x64)
with prebuilt native binaries; Linux arm64 / Windows arm need a C/C++
toolchain to build `tree-sitter` on `npm install` (documented in the
README).
- Concurrent sessions of two *different* Argent versions on one machine
each spawn their own tool-server; an orphaned one idle-times-out (no
session is ever broken).

Hubert Gancarczyk 3393d22edd feat(telemetry): derive distinct_id from a stable host fingerprint (#444)
## Summary

Replaces the random-UUID telemetry `distinct_id` with a stable
per-machine id derived from the host fingerprint, so PostHog's native
"Unique users" counts machines (funnels / retention / breakdowns work
with no HogQL). Every Argent entry point - installer, CLI, tool-server,
MCP - derives the id from one shared code path, so a given machine
reports a single identity across every event and across install /
uninstall / reinstall.

## What changed

- `distinct_id = uuidv5(hostFingerprint, NAMESPACE)`, where the
fingerprint comes from `simulator-server fingerprint`. Deterministic,
keeps the UUID shape, and never stores the raw hardware value in PostHog
(only the SHA-1-derived UUID leaves the process).
- The fingerprint is resolved in `buildPayload` - the single `capture()`
path shared by every entry point - so installer / CLI / tool-server /
MCP all produce the same id. Resolved lazily, once per process,
memoized.
- One-time, local-only migration: the first time a fingerprint resolves,
`~/.argent/telemetry-id` is rewritten from the legacy random UUID to the
derived id. No PostHog `alias` / `$identify` event is emitted.
- Fallback: if the fingerprint can't be resolved (unsupported platform,
binary absent), the stored or a fresh random UUID is used - identically
for every entry point on that machine, self-healing to the derived id on
the next successful resolve.
- Hardening: never throws; the fingerprint is validated (exactly 64 hex,
case-insensitive) before hashing; corrupt / empty / unreadable id files
self-heal; the binary is spawned at most once per process.

## Why the id is stable across install -> uninstall -> reinstall

Uninstall deletes `~/.argent/telemetry-id`. Because the id is
`uuidv5(fingerprint)` and the fingerprint is deterministic per machine,
a fresh install recomputes the identical id. Previously only the
tool-server resolved the fingerprint while the installer emitted under a
random UUID, so this cycle produced a different random id each time.

## Bundling note for reviewers

`@argent/telemetry` now depends on `@argent/native-devtools-ios` to
locate the binary. That package computes its bin dir from `__dirname` at
module load, which is undefined in an ES module. The installer / CLI /
MCP ship as ESM bundles, so `bundle-tools.cjs`'s ESM banner is extended
to shim `__dirname` / `__filename` (the CJS tool-server bundle already
has them natively). Without this shim those bundles would crash on load,
so the banner change is load-bearing.

## Testing

- Unit: 219 telemetry tests - RFC 4122 v5 vectors, migration,
idempotency, case/length validation, corrupt-file self-heal,
spawn-at-most-once, and all fallbacks.
- E2E on a real machine + booted iPhone 16 Pro: installer, CLI, and
tool-server runtimes all emit the same derived id; the id is stable
across a delete/recreate (uninstall/reinstall) cycle; a legacy v4 id
migrates locally with no alias/identify emitted; verified from an ESM
bundle placed in the real install's `dist/` so the binary resolves via
the bundled `__dirname` with no env override; tool calls against the
device carry the same id.

Ignacy Łątka cbced9aa4b docs(readme): cover TV, Fire TV, Electron/web platforms and new CLI commands (#461)
The README still described Argent as an iOS-Simulator / Android-Emulator
tool, missing the platforms and commands we've shipped since.
Cross-referenced the copy against the actual code (device classifier,
capability matrix, MCP tool registry, CLI dispatch, and editor adapters)
and brought it up to date.

## What changed

**Tagline & new "Supported platforms" table** — Argent now advertises
what it actually drives:
- iOS Simulators (touch)
- Android emulators **and physical devices** over adb (touch)
- **TV**: Apple TV (tvOS), Android TV / Google TV, Amazon Fire TV / Vega
(D-pad remote)
- **Desktop & web**: Electron and Chromium apps incl. React Native Web /
Expo web, over CDP (mouse)

**Capabilities** — expanded to reflect shipped features that weren't
mentioned:
- Record & replay flows
- Visual regression (screenshot diff with OCR/font-aware comparison)
- Richer profiling story (React DevTools / Hermes fibers, native
Instruments + Perfetto, cross-correlated commit-vs-hang reports)
- Network capture (JS `fetch` + native), JS evaluation, native UIKit /
React component tree inspection
- Desktop & web control (tabs, cookies, storage, DOM, network over CDP)

**Prerequisites** — added tvOS (Xcode), Android TV (SDK), Fire TV (Vega
SDK) and Electron/Chromium (`--remote-debugging-port`) notes.

**CLI Reference** — added the six commands present in code but missing
from the table: `tools`, `run`, `server`, `lens`, `link`, `unlink`.

**Supported Editors** — corrected Zed to note its global config path
(`~/.config/zed/settings.json`) alongside the project path.

## Notes
- Physical iOS devices and physical Fire TV hardware are declared in the
capability types but aren't drivable today, so they're intentionally
left out. (A physically-connected Fire TV can be surfaced by
`list-devices` discovery via `classifyKind()`, but it isn't bootable and
the shape-based resolver in `device-info.ts` routes every `amazon-`
serial through the VVD gate.)
- Remote iOS simulators (`ios-remote` via `sim-remote`) are omitted from
the platform table to keep it focused on the common targets.

Ignacy Łątka a92c859d07 feat(argent-lens): argent lens — bind a claude session to the preview window (#416)
## What

Adds `argent lens` — open Argent Lens bound to a fresh `claude` session.

## Why

The Lens preview window and the agent communicate through a shared,
process-wide tool-server that carries **no per-agent identity** (only a
coarse telemetry header). So when the user requests changes in the
window, there's no reliable way to route them to the *specific* agent
that opened it.

`argent lens` sidesteps the problem by inverting ownership: the human
launches Lens, and Lens spawns (and therefore owns) exactly one `claude`
terminal. The binding is 1:1 by construction — no identity plumbing
required.

## How it works

1. `argent lens` ensures a tool-server and **begins a CLI Lens
session**, which opens the preview window up front (no
`await_user_selection` needed) and keeps it open across rounds.
2. It spawns a tracked `claude` terminal in the current directory — a
TypeScript port of the macOS applet's `osascript` spawn/track mechanism
— seeded to propose variants without blocking.
3. A watcher polls `GET /preview/outcome`; on each submitted round it
types a one-line feedback summary into that terminal, queuing it to the
agent as its next prompt. Requesting changes therefore "talks back" to
the bound agent instead of closing the window.

macOS only (drives Terminal/iTerm via `osascript`); off-darwin it exits
with a clear message.

## Changes

- **CLI** `lens-terminal.ts` — `osascript` spawn/track + a new
write-into-running-session path (the "outputting" channel; injects input
into the running TUI, which a tty write cannot do).
- **CLI** `lens.ts` — the command + feedback formatter.
- **tool-server** — a `cliSession` flag in the variant store (opens the
window, suppresses auto-close on submit); `POST /preview/cli-session`
and `GET /preview/outcome` routes.
- **UI** — relabels the submit action to "Request changes" while a CLI
session is active.

Behind the existing `argent-lens` feature flag.

## Verification

- Build + typecheck across the workspace; ESLint (`--max-warnings 0`) +
Prettier clean.
- 34 new unit tests; full `@argent/cli` suite **118 passing**,
tool-server variant/preview suites **46 passing**.
- **E2E (observed on this machine):**
- **tool-server HTTP** — `cli-session` toggles `cliSession` true/false;
submitted feedback round-trips through `/preview/outcome`.
- **terminal injection** — spawned a window running `cat`, confirmed
`writeToSession` lands text in the running program's **stdin** (both
iTerm and Terminal), with embedded newlines flattened.
- **full relay** — the real `watchAndRelay` loop against a real
tool-server typed two distinct submission rounds' feedback into a
stand-in agent terminal (dedup on `completedAt` verified).
- `argent lens --help` and the feature-flag gate (exit 1 with guidance,
no spawn).

Note: a real end-to-end with a live `claude` agent was not run (it would
drive a paid interactive session); the agent-facing channel is proven by
injecting into a stand-in process's stdin via the exact same code path.

Hubert Gancarczyk 8483fe23f9 feat: add telemetry (#274)
## Summary

Adds anonymous, opt-out telemetry for Argent installer, update/uninstall
flows, CLI telemetry controls, tool-server lifecycle, and tool
invocation health signals.
## What Changed
- Added a new private `@argent/telemetry` package
- Introduced typed telemetry events with runtime property
allowlisting/sanitization.
- Added lazy anonymous identity creation in `~/.argent/telemetry-id`.
- Added consent handling via: `argent telemetry enable`, `argent
telemetry disable`, `argent telemetry status`
- Added local debug logging with `ARGENT_TELEMETRY_DEBUG=1`.
- Tracks installer funnel events for init, global install/update
decisions, editor selection, allowlist decisions, skill installation,
rules/agents copy, update, and uninstall.
- Tracks tool-server start/stop and tool invocation/complete/fail
events.
- Adds per-tool invocation IDs so request metadata can be correlated
without relying on ordering.
- Records only coarse platform metadata (`ios` / `android`) for device
tools
- Ensures short-lived commands drain telemetry with bounded shutdown
before exit.
- Wires telemetry package into bundling and injects full Argent CLI
version metadata at build time.
- Added central `FAILURE_CODES` and `FailureSignal` helpers in
`@argent/registry`.
- Attached structured, sanitized failure metadata across registry
errors, tool-server tools/services, HTTP validation/dependency gates,
installer flows, and `argent run`.
- Added telemetry allowlisting for safe failure fields only: static
error codes/stages, coarse area/kind/command, bounded exit codes,
allowlisted signals/spawn codes, and coarse network failure classes.
- Split CLI-local `argent run` failures into `cli:run_fail` so they are
not double-counted as tool failures.
- Added installer telemetry for failed package actions, update/uninstall
failures, rules/agents copy results, and skill refresh results.
- Made telemetry consent writes atomic and kept telemetry status
side-effect free via `peekAnonId()`.
- Adds a coarse, anonymous signal to tool telemetry: which AI coding
tool is driving the MCP server (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, VS
Code, Windsurf, Zed, opencode, Copilot, or other).

## Tests Added / Updated

- Telemetry unit coverage for consent precedence, identity creation,
base props, sanitization, PostHog config, debug logging, shutdown,
opt-out, and forget behavior.
- Registry/tool-server tests for invocation IDs, platform metadata
boundaries, startup failure flushing, and tool lifecycle telemetry.
- Installer tests for final telemetry drain, update action
classification, and uninstall identity cleanup ordering.

Ignacy Łątka acfe80ab6b chore: add ESLint with typescript-eslint (#349)
## What

Adds type-aware linting to the workspace. Until now the only static gate
on JS/TS was Prettier (formatting) and `tsc` — there was no linter, so
the whole class of bugs `tsc` doesn't catch (floating promises, misused
promises, throwing non-Errors, unsafe stringification, dead code) went
unguarded across ~450 TS files.

- **`eslint.config.mjs`** — flat config. `recommendedTypeChecked` runs
on the TS sources via an explicit `project` list (each package keeps
tests in a separate `tsconfig.test.json` that `projectService` can't
auto-discover, so it's listed explicitly). Type-checked rules are
disabled for the loosely-typed plain-JS build/dev scripts. The
`argent-private` submodule and build artifacts are ignored (mirrors
`.prettierignore`).
- **`lint` / `lint:fix`** npm scripts.
- **`.github/workflows/lint.yml`** — builds the workspace (type-aware
rules need the referenced projects' declarations) then runs `eslint .`.
Node 24 (ESLint 10 requires `^20.19 || ^22.13 || >=24`).

## Rule calibration

This is an adoption PR, so it's deliberately calibrated rather than
maximal:

- **Kept on (bug-catchers):** `no-floating-promises`,
`no-misused-promises` (with `checksVoidReturn: false` to drop the noisy
callback variant), `only-throw-error`, `no-base-to-string`,
`prefer-promise-reject-errors`, `no-unused-vars` (`_`-prefix escape
hatch), plus the ESLint recommended set.
- **Parked off as documented debt:** the high-volume style/`any`-family
rules — `no-unsafe-*`, `require-await`, `no-unnecessary-type-assertion`,
`restrict-template-expressions`, `unbound-method`, `no-explicit-any`,
etc. These flag broad classes of pre-existing code and are out of scope
here; each is commented as a ratchet target for follow-up passes.

All findings from the kept-on rules are fixed in this PR (dead
code/imports, error-cause chaining, **3 genuine floating promises**,
non-Error throws, unsafe stringification). Stale unused `eslint-disable`
directives left over in the tree were removed by `--fix`.

## Verification

Locally, all green: `eslint .` (0 errors), `tsc --build`,
`typecheck:tests`/`typecheck:scripts`, the full `vitest` suite (no
behavior change from the fixes), and `prettier --check`.

## Not included (intentionally)

Other static-analysis gates discussed (CodeQL, dependency-audit,
ShellCheck, actionlint) are out of scope for this PR.

filip131311 8efd7c6346 feat: add argent server start for long-lived tool-server (#182)
## Human summary: 

This adds `argent server start` command to enable us to spawn tools
server in arbitrary location. we want this to enable using remote
tools-server via our mcp not only local ones.

## Summary

- Adds `argent server start` to spawn a tool-server that does **not**
auto-shutdown on idle, with configurable bind port and host — the
missing piece for running tool-server on a remote/dedicated host.
- Foreground by default so process supervisors (systemd, Docker,
supervisord) own the lifecycle; `--detach` keeps the existing
daemon-spawn behavior. Refuses to clobber a healthy running server
unless `--force`.
- Phase 2 (consumer-side `--tools-url` flag pointing the MCP / CLI at a
remote tool-server) is now a one-flag change away — `tools-client.ts`
and `mcp-server.ts` already honor `ARGENT_TOOLS_URL`. Out of scope for
this PR.

## What changed

- **`tool-server`** — read `HOST` env var (default `127.0.0.1` so the
existing auto-spawn path is unaffected), bind to it, attach an `error`
listener on `app.listen` so `EADDRINUSE` / `EACCES` exit cleanly instead
of routing through `uncaughtException`.
- **`argent-tools-client`** — broaden the readiness regex to match any
host; extend `buildToolsServerEnv` with optional `{ host,
idleTimeoutMinutes }`; record `host` in `~/.argent/tool-server.json`
(backward-compat: missing field defaults to `127.0.0.1`); export
`spawnToolsServer`, `findFreePort`, `isToolsServerHealthy`,
`isToolsServerProcessAlive`, the state read/write/clear helpers, and
`formatToolsServerUrl` so the CLI can reuse them.
- **`argent-cli`** — new `server start [flags]`: `--port`/`-p` (default
3001, `0` = pick free), `--host` (default `127.0.0.1`), `--idle-timeout`
(default `0` = never), `--detach`/`-d`, `--force`, `--help`. Warns when
host is non-loopback. Foreground mode forwards `SIGINT`/`SIGTERM` to the
child and writes the state file so local `argent run` / `argent mcp` can
attach.
- **`argent` dispatcher** — pass `BUNDLED_RUNTIME_PATHS` to `server()`
so the new subcommand can find the bundled tool-server.

## Test plan

- [x] `argent server --help` lists the new `start` subcommand
- [x] `argent server start --help` shows full flag reference
- [x] `argent server start --detach --port 0` → status alive/healthy,
`/tools` reachable, state file populated with `host` field
- [x] Second `argent server start --detach` refuses (`exit 1`) with
helpful message
- [x] `argent server start --detach --force` kills the old PID and
starts a new one
- [x] Foreground `argent server start --port 0` runs with inherited
stdio; child PID is the actual tool-server (not the wrapper); `argent
server stop` from a sibling shell tears down both
- [x] Existing auto-spawn path (`argent tools`) still works — verifies
the regex broadening + default-host change is backward-compatible
- [x] `tool-server` (444 tests) + `argent-tools-client` (1) + `argent`
dispatcher (1) suites pass
- [ ] Manual smoke on `--host 0.0.0.0` — could not exercise locally
(sandbox declined the public-interface bind); the warning + bind path is
identical to loopback besides the listen address

Ignacy Łątka c5c3f7af11 feat: feature flags (#260)
## Summary

- New top-level CLI commands `argent enable <flag>` / `argent disable
<flag>` / `argent flags`.
- Storage is a small JSON file at `~/.argent/flags.json` by default;
`--scope project` writes to `<project-root>/.argent/flags.json` instead.
- `enable` writes `true`. `disable` removes the entry at the chosen
scope (and deletes the file + empty `.argent/` when it becomes the last
flag).
- `isFlagEnabled` walks project → global, so a project entry shadows the
same key in the global file. To opt a single project out of a
globally-enabled flag, hand-edit `<project>/.argent/flags.json` to
`{"flags":{"name":false}}` — there is no CLI for an explicit override.
- The dispatcher routes the new commands to `@argent/cli` exports;
bundling needs no config changes (only `node:fs|path|os`).

## Behaviour

- `argent enable foo` → writes `{ "flags": { "foo": true } }` to global
file.
- `argent disable foo` → removes `foo` from the global file (clean round
trip with `enable`).
- `argent enable foo --scope project` → writes to
`<project-root>/.argent/flags.json`.
- `argent flags` → lists effective state with the winning scope;
`--json` for scripting.
- Project root is the nearest ancestor with `.argent`, `.git`, or
`package.json` — falls back to cwd when none found.
- POSIX `--` separator: `argent enable -- weird-name` is supported.
- Help (`--help` / `-h`), invalid `--scope`, invalid flag names, missing
arg, unknown flags all produce a clear stderr error and `exit 2`.
- Flag-name validation: `/^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9._-]*$/`.
- Writes are atomic (tmp file + rename) so concurrent invocations cannot
tear the JSON.

## Reader API

`isFlagEnabled(name)` is exported from `@argent/cli` for future
consumers; it walks project → global and returns `false` when unset.

## Files

- `packages/argent-cli/src/flags.ts` (new) — storage + CLI handlers
- `packages/argent-cli/src/index.ts` — re-exports `enable` / `disable` /
`flags` / `isFlagEnabled` / `FlagScope`
- `packages/argent-cli/test/flags.test.ts` (new) — 41 tests
- `packages/argent-cli/vitest.config.ts` (new)
- `packages/argent-cli/package.json` — description bump
- `packages/argent/src/cli.ts` — dispatcher routes + help text
- `README.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md` — command tables

## Test plan

- [x] `npm test --workspaces --if-present` → 1085 tests pass (41 in
`@argent/cli`).
- [x] `npm run typecheck:tests --workspaces --if-present` → clean.
- [x] `npm run build` (root `tsc --build`) → clean.
- [x] `npm run build -w @swmansion/argent` (dispatcher + esbuild
bundles) → clean.
- [x] `npx prettier --check .` → clean.
- [x] End-to-end against the built dispatcher in a tmpdir:
- `argent enable my-feature-flag` (global) writes to
`~/.argent/flags.json`.
- `argent enable proj-only --scope project` writes to
`<proj>/.argent/flags.json`.
- `argent disable my-feature-flag` removes the entry; round trip leaves
a clean tree (file + empty `.argent/` removed when no other state lives
there).
  - `argent disable foo` preserves sibling flags in the same file.
  - `argent flags` lists each flag with the winning scope.
- `argent enable --` errors cleanly; `argent enable -- name-after`
accepts the literal.
- `argent enable foo --scope project` walks up to `.git` /
`package.json` / `.argent`; stray editor configs (`.claude`, `.cursor`,
…) do NOT count as project roots.
- Error paths (`--scope bogus`, no name, `1bad-name`) exit `2` with a
clear message.

Ignacy Łątka 8ce8f8e573 fix: 100% CPU usage on broken stdio (#191)
One of our users reported occasional 100% CPU usage stale MCP server
process.

I wasn't able to reproduce this bug directly in Codex. We only have
non-codex repros that are able to consistantly reproduce a bug that
*looks* like the one reported to us.

The bug in question is: Our error handler causes errors which throws it
into an infinite loop.

/>

### More details:

When `argent mcp` runs as an orphaned process whose stderr pipe is
broken (e.g. parent died), every `stderr.write` from the
uncaughtException handler emits an async 'error' event. Without an
'error' listener that becomes another uncaughtException, runs the
handler again, and so on forever.

Move the handlers into `fatal-handlers.ts` and add three guards:
- 'error' listeners on stdout/stderr exit cleanly when stdio is broken,
before the failure becomes another uncaughtException
- try/catch around `stderr.write` so a sync write failure exits instead
of escaping
- try/catch around the formatter so a throwing `.stack` getter or
`toString` (the production trace pointed at defaultPrepareStackTrace)
can't take down the handler

Idempotent: a second `installFatalHandlers` call is a no-op.

filip131311 6355620c4d refactor(mcp): split mcp package into argent, argent-cli, argent-installer, argent-mcp, argent-tools-client (#162)
## Summary

- Splits the monolithic `packages/mcp` package into five focused
packages:
- `argent` — the user-facing CLI entry (`argent` binary,
init/uninstall/update flows, bundled-paths, scripts).
- `argent-cli` — CLI runner internals (flag-parser, run, server, tools).
- `argent-installer` — `init`/`update`/`uninstall` flows, MCP config
adapters, skills installer.
- `argent-mcp` — MCP server itself (mcp-server, tool-mapping,
auto-screenshot, content adapters).
  - `argent-tools-client` — HTTP client + launcher for the tool-server.
- Adds Gemini agent definitions, VSCode MCP config, and per-package
`tsconfig.json` / `vitest.config.ts`.
- Updates root `tsconfig.json`, `scripts/dev.cjs`, CI workflows, and
`package.json` to wire the new packages together.

## Test plan

- [ ] `npm install` resolves the new workspaces cleanly
- [ ] `npm run build` succeeds across all packages
- [ ] `npm test` passes (renamed test files keep their assertions)
- [ ] `npx argent init` still produces the expected MCP config in a
sample project
- [ ] `npx argent update` / `argent uninstall` exercise the installer
package
- [ ] CI workflows (`publish.yml`, `unit-tests.yml`) run on this branch
