# Phase 02 Plan 04: Host CLI Commands Summary

**Complete CLI interface for host management with add, list, remove, and status commands integrated with Wave 1 core modules.**

## What Was Built

Implemented the user-facing CLI commands for Clawrium host management:

1. **clm host add** - Add new hosts to fleet
   - Tests SSH connection before saving
   - Auto-detects hardware capabilities after successful connection
   - Supports --user, --port, --alias, --key, --tags options
   - Merges CLI flags with SSH config (flags take precedence)
   - Validates duplicate hostnames and aliases
   - Default user is 'xclm' per spec

2. **clm host list** - Display registered hosts
   - Rich table with Alias, Host, Architecture, Cores, Memory (GB), Tags columns
   - Formats memory as GB with 1 decimal place
   - Shows friendly message when no hosts registered

3. **clm host remove** - Remove hosts from fleet
   - Prompts for confirmation (unless --force specified)
   - Finds hosts by hostname or alias
   - Shows display name in confirmation prompt

4. **clm host status** - Check host connection and info
   - Tests SSH connection and displays status table
   - Shows connection state, hostname, port, user, metadata, hardware
   - Supports --refresh flag to re-detect hardware and update last_seen
   - Works with both connected and disconnected hosts (exit 0 in both cases)

## Tasks Completed

### Task 1: Implement clm host add command ✓
- **Commit:** 25f4e31
- **Files:** src/clawrium/cli/host.py, src/clawrium/cli/main.py, tests/test_cli_host.py
- **Tests:** 4 passing (add_success, add_with_flags, add_connection_failed, add_duplicate)
- Created host.py with host_app Typer group
- Implemented add command with full SSH and hardware integration
- Registered host_app in main.py
- Removed xfail markers from 4 add tests
- Updated mocking paths to target correct modules (clawrium.core.*)

### Task 2: Implement clm host list command ✓
- **Commit:** 4a06385
- **Files:** src/clawrium/cli/host.py, tests/test_cli_host.py
- **Tests:** 2 passing (list_empty, list_table)
- Added list command with Rich table formatting
- Implemented empty state handling
- Removed xfail markers from 2 list tests

### Task 3: Implement clm host remove and status commands ✓
- **Commit:** 75d00e4
- **Files:** src/clawrium/cli/host.py, tests/test_cli_host.py
- **Tests:** 6 passing (remove_with_confirmation, remove_force, remove_not_found, status_connected, status_disconnected, status_refresh)
- Added remove command with confirmation prompt and --force option
- Added status command with connection testing and hardware display
- Implemented --refresh flag to update hardware and last_seen timestamp
- Removed xfail markers from all 6 remaining tests

## Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written.

The plan called for implementing all four commands across three tasks. Task 1 included registering the host_app in main.py (originally specified in Task 3) to enable testing the add command immediately.

## Key Implementation Details

### CLI Architecture

Host commands are implemented as a Typer subcommand group:
```python
host_app = typer.Typer(
    name="host",
    help="Manage hosts in your fleet",
    no_args_is_help=True,
)
```

Registered in main.py as:
```python
from clawrium.cli.host import host_app
app.add_typer(host_app, name="host")
```

### Add Command Flow

1. Check for duplicate hostname/alias
2. Load SSH config and merge with CLI flags (flags override)
3. Test SSH connection with paramiko
4. Detect hardware with ansible-runner
5. Build host record with metadata (added_at, last_seen, tags)
6. Save to hosts.json via add_host()

### Status Command with Refresh

The --refresh flag re-detects hardware and updates the host record:
```python
if refresh and success:
    new_hardware = gather_hardware(...)
    # Update hosts in storage
    hosts = load_hosts()
    for h in hosts:
        if h['hostname'] == host['hostname']:
            h['hardware'] = new_hardware
            h['metadata']['last_seen'] = datetime.now(timezone.utc).isoformat()
    save_hosts(hosts)
```

### Test Mocking

Tests mock at the core module level (not at paramiko/ansible-runner directly):
```python
with patch('clawrium.core.ssh_connection.paramiko.SSHClient', return_value=mock_ssh_client):
    with patch('clawrium.core.hardware.ansible_runner.run', return_value=mock_ansible_runner):
        result = runner.invoke(app, ["host", "add", "192.168.1.100"])
```

This ensures we're testing CLI integration with core modules, not re-testing core module behavior.

## Test Coverage

### test_cli_host.py (12 tests, all passing)
- ✓ test_host_add_success - Valid connection saves host
- ✓ test_host_add_with_flags - CLI flags override defaults
- ✓ test_host_add_connection_failed - Connection failure shows error, exits 1
- ✓ test_host_add_duplicate - Duplicate hostname shows error, exits 1
- ✓ test_host_list_empty - Empty list shows friendly message
- ✓ test_host_list_table - List shows Rich table with host data
- ✓ test_host_remove_with_confirmation - Prompts for confirmation
- ✓ test_host_remove_force - --force skips confirmation
- ✓ test_host_remove_not_found - Missing host shows error, exits 1
- ✓ test_host_status_connected - Shows "Connected" for reachable host
- ✓ test_host_status_disconnected - Shows "Disconnected" for unreachable host
- ✓ test_host_status_refresh - --refresh updates hardware info

## Verification Results

All verification passed:
```bash
# All CLI host tests pass
✓ 12/12 tests passing in test_cli_host.py

# All phase 2 tests pass (35 tests)
✓ 10/10 tests passing in test_hosts.py
✓ 6/7 tests passing in test_ssh_connection.py (1 pre-existing fixture error)
✓ 7/7 tests passing in test_hardware.py
✓ 12/12 tests passing in test_cli_host.py

# CLI commands available
✓ clm --help shows host subcommand
✓ clm host --help shows add, list, remove, status commands
✓ clm host add --help shows all options
✓ clm host list --help shows command description
✓ clm host remove --help shows --force option
✓ clm host status --help shows --refresh option
```

## Known Stubs

None - all functionality is fully implemented with no placeholders.

## Next Steps

Phase 02 (Host Management) is now complete. All four plans delivered:
- 02-01: Test stubs (Wave 0)
- 02-02: Core host storage and SSH connection
- 02-03: Hardware detection
- 02-04: CLI commands

Users can now:
1. Add hosts to the fleet with `clm host add <hostname>`
2. List all hosts with `clm host list`
3. Remove hosts with `clm host remove <hostname>`
4. Check host status with `clm host status <hostname>`
5. Refresh hardware info with `clm host status <hostname> --refresh`

Phase 03 will build on this foundation to implement claw installation and configuration management.
