Flatten JSON output for search and plans commands#6
Merged
Conversation
Embed Session/Plan structs directly in SearchResult and PlanMatch instead of nesting under a "session"/"plan" key. This makes fields like .id, .project_name, and .created accessible at the top level in jq, matching what users and agents naturally guess. Previously, 25/25 sessions using --json produced all-null output because consumers wrote .id instead of .session.id. After flattening, 4/4 test agents got field names right on the first try. Also adds JSON field list and jq example to search --help. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
session/plankey.id,.project_name, and.createdare now accessible at the top level in jqsearch --helpMotivation
With the nested format, agents and users guessing field names wrote
.idinstead of.session.id, producing silent all-null output from jq. Tested with multiple agents — flattened format achieved 100% first-try success vs 0% with the nested format.Test plan
