Subject: [PATCH 01/46] Add `entire search` command for semantic checkpoint
 search

New command that calls the Entire search service to perform hybrid
semantic + keyword search over checkpoints. Auth via GitHub token
(GITHUB_TOKEN env var or `gh auth token`). Supports --json for
agent consumption, --branch filtering, and --limit.

+### `entire search`
+
+Search checkpoints across the current repository using hybrid search (semantic + keyword). Results are ranked using Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF), combining OpenAI embeddings with BM25 full-text search.
+
+```bash
+# Search with pretty-printed output
+entire search "implement login feature"
+
+# Filter by branch
+entire search "fix auth bug" --branch main
+
+# JSON output (for agent/script consumption)
+entire search "refactor database layer" --json
+
+# Limit results
+entire search "add tests" --limit 10
+```
+
+| Flag       | Description                          |
+| ---------- | ------------------------------------ |
+| `--json`   | Output results as JSON               |
+| `--branch` | Filter results by branch name        |
+| `--limit`  | Maximum number of results (default: 20) |
+
+**Authentication:** `entire search` requires a GitHub token to verify repo access. The token is resolved automatically from:
+
+1. `GITHUB_TOKEN` environment variable
+2. `gh auth token` (GitHub CLI, if installed)
+
+No other commands require a GitHub token — search is the only command that calls an external service.
+
+**Environment variables:**
+
+| Variable             | Description                                                |
+| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `GITHUB_TOKEN`       | GitHub personal access token or fine-grained token         |
+| `ENTIRE_SEARCH_URL`  | Override the search service URL (default: `https://entire.io`) |
+

Subject: [PATCH 04/46] Update CLI search to match enriched response format

The search service now returns full checkpoint data (commit info, token
usage, file stats, etc.) instead of just IDs and scores. Updated Result
struct and display to use the new nested searchMeta and camelCase fields.

- TrimSpace on GITHUB_TOKEN env var to handle trailing newlines
- Reject non-github.com remotes in ParseGitHubRemote with clear error
- Add httptest-based tests for Search(): URL/query construction, auth

From eb8de1d7e465ef981a2f088f9293cef8a041a17c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 09/46] Add GitHub device flow auth with entire login/logout
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- entire login: GitHub OAuth device flow, stores token in .entire/auth.json
- entire logout: removes stored credentials
- entire auth-status: shows token source (file, env, or gh CLI)
- Token resolution: .entire/auth.json → GITHUB_TOKEN → gh auth token
- Search command uses new resolver instead of inline token logic

Removes GITHUB_TOKEN env var and gh CLI token fallbacks from
ResolveGitHubToken so the CLI exclusively uses the token stored by
'entire login' (GitHub device flow). If no token is found, the user
is directed to run 'entire login'.

- errcheck: explicit type assertion for error_description; handle readAuth errors in Set* funcs
- nilnil: replace (nil, nil) with errNoAuth sentinel in readAuth
- forbidigo: nolint os.Getwd() in authFilePath (walks up dirs, handles subdirectories)
- perfsprint: errors.New for static strings, strconv.Itoa for int formatting

Subject: [PATCH 14/46] Address code review feedback on auth and search
 packages

- auth_cmd.go: guard against panic on short tokens in auth-status masking
- auth_cmd.go: use SetStoredAuth for atomic token+username write on login
- auth_cmd.go: pass raw interval to WaitForAuthorization (floor moved to auth logic)
- auth_cmd.go: call GetStoredToken directly, remove ResolveGitHubToken indirection
- github_device.go: unexport pollForToken (internal implementation detail)
- github_device.go: enforce 5s minimum polling interval inside WaitForAuthorization
- resolve.go: remove ResolveGitHubToken wrapper, keep only SourceEntireDir constant
- search_cmd.go: call GetStoredToken directly
- search.go: use http.DefaultClient consistently (matches auth package)
- store.go: replace deprecated os.IsNotExist with errors.Is(err, fs.ErrNotExist)
- store.go: add SetStoredAuth for atomic single-write of token+username
- store_test.go: add 5 tests covering walk-up, round-trip, no-file, atomic write, preservation
- README.md: document device flow auth, remove GITHUB_TOKEN/--json references

-**Authentication:** `entire search` requires a GitHub token to verify repo access. The token is resolved automatically from:
-
-1. `GITHUB_TOKEN` environment variable
-2. `gh auth token` (GitHub CLI, if installed)
+**Authentication:** `entire search` requires authentication. Run `entire login` first to authenticate via GitHub device flow — your token is stored in `.entire/auth.json` and used automatically.
 
-No other commands require a GitHub token — search is the only command that calls an external service.

From: evisdren <evis@entire.io>
Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2026 12:57:00 -0700
Subject: [PATCH 15/46] Address second-round review feedback

- store.go: unexport setStoredToken/setStoredUsername (dead external API)
- store.go: move SourceEntireDir constant here, delete resolve.go
- github_device.go: add io.LimitReader(1MB) to all three auth HTTP reads
- README.md: add login/logout/auth-status to commands table and Authentication section

+### Authentication
+
+`entire search` is the only command that calls an external service and therefore requires authentication. Use the following commands to manage your credentials:
+
+- **`entire login`** — authenticate with GitHub via device flow. Follow the printed URL and code to authorize in your browser. On success, your token is stored in `.entire/auth.json` and used automatically for subsequent `entire search` calls.
+- **`entire logout`** — remove stored credentials from `.entire/auth.json`. You will need to run `entire login` again before using `entire search`.
+- **`entire auth-status`** — display your current authentication state and a masked version of the stored token so you can confirm which account is active without exposing the full secret.
 
 ### `entire search`

Subject: [PATCH 17/46] Add pluggable credential store with OS keyring backend

Default to OS keyring (macOS Keychain, Linux Secret Service, Windows
Credential Manager) via go-keyring. Fall back to .entire/auth.json
when ENTIRE_TOKEN_STORE=file, matching the entiredb tokenstore pattern.

- store.go: introduce tokenStore interface with keyringTokenStore and
  fileTokenStore implementations; sync.Once backend resolution
- auth_cmd.go: use TokenSource() instead of hardcoded SourceEntireDir
- store_test.go: TestMain forces file backend; resetBackend() between
  tests; add TestTokenSourceFileBackend

Subject: [PATCH 20/46] fix: align CLI search with search worker API

The CLI was calling /search/v1/{owner}/{repo} but the search worker
expects /search/v1/search with repo as a query parameter. Also updates
response types to match the worker's envelope format and removes the
unsupported --branch flag.

Subject: [PATCH 21/46] feat: add interactive bubbletea TUI for search command

Replace raw JSON default output with an interactive TUI featuring:
- Editable search bar (/ to focus, Enter to re-search)
- Navigable results table (j/k or arrow keys)
- Bordered detail card showing all checkpoint fields
- --json flag preserves machine-readable output
- Auto-JSON when piped, static table when ACCESSIBLE=1
- `entire search` with no args opens TUI with search bar focused

Subject: [PATCH 22/46] refactor: simplify search TUI by reusing shared styles
 and helpers

- Embed statusStyles in searchStyles, eliminating 6 duplicate fields
- Remove redundant s() method, use inherited render() instead
- Extract isTerminalWriter() to status_style.go for shared TTY detection
- Remove unused height field and redundant zero-value cursor init
- Use formatCommit() in detail card instead of inline duplication
- Extract indentLines() helper to deduplicate line-indentation loops

- search.go: check Error field on HTTP 200, use dedicated http.Client
  instead of DefaultClient, remove unused Timing field
- search_tui.go: remove phantom "enter select" from help bar
- Tests: add TestSearch_ErrorFieldOn200, TestSearchModel_SearchModeEnter,
  TestSearchModel_SearchModeEnterEmpty; remove duplicate NavigationJK
  and tautological DerefStr tests

Subject: [PATCH 24/46] feat: add search filters, pagination, and alt-screen
 TUI

- Add --author and --date CLI flags for filtering search results
- Support filter syntax in search bar: author:<name> date:<week|month>
- Quoted values for multi-word filters: author:"Alice Smith"
- Wildcard query (*) when only filters are provided
- Pagination: 25 results per page, n/p or arrow keys to navigate
- Alt-screen mode for full-terminal TUI
- Filter hint shown below search bar in edit mode
- Hide search command from --help (not GA yet)

+**Search bar syntax:** In the interactive TUI, you can type filters directly: `auth author:alice date:week`. Supports quoted values: `author:"Alice Smith"`.
 
 **Authentication:** `entire search` requires authentication. Run `entire login` first to authenticate via Entire device auth — your token is stored in the OS keyring and used automatically.

Subject: [PATCH 25/46] refactor: extract WildcardQuery constant, HasFilters
 method, add pagination tests

- Extract search.WildcardQuery constant for filter-only queries
- Add Config.HasFilters() to centralize filter-awareness
- Cache totalPages() in viewHelp to avoid redundant calls
- Add tests for pagination: PageResults, TotalPages, SelectedResult,
  PageNavigation, and Config.HasFilters

Subject: [PATCH 27/46] fix: accessible mode guard, server-side pagination, and
 filter clearing in search

- Add IsAccessibleMode() to no-query error guard so ACCESSIBLE=1 requires
  a query (matching --json behavior) instead of launching the TUI
- Add Page field to search.Config and send page param to API, enabling
  lazy-fetch pagination in the TUI when navigating past loaded results
- Use API total count for totalPages() so footer reflects true result count
- Always reset Author/Date from parsed input on new interactive searches
  so startup filters don't persist invisibly across searches

Subject: [PATCH 28/46] fix: request max results for TUI to enable client-side
 pagination
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The search API uses the limit param to cap total results fetched from the
index, not just the page size. This means the page param alone doesn't
enable pagination — total never exceeds limit. Work around this by
requesting MaxLimit (200) in TUI mode so client-side pagination works
with up to 8 pages of 25 results.

Subject: [PATCH 29/46] fix: remove double timeout and guard against exhausted
 API pages

- Remove redundant http.Client.Timeout since context.WithTimeout already
  enforces the 30s deadline and respects parent context cancellation
- Cap m.total to len(m.results) when fetchMoreResults returns empty,
  preventing repeated fetch attempts for pages that don't exist

Subject: [PATCH 30/46] fix: persist search config for pagination, use Bearer
 auth, reject insecure URLs

- Save updated searchCfg after interactive search so fetchMoreResults
  uses the correct query/filters for page 2+ instead of stale startup values
- Switch auth header from "token" to "Bearer" for consistency with
  the rest of the CLI (api.Client uses Bearer)
- Add api.RequireSecureURL check for ENTIRE_SEARCH_URL to prevent
  sending auth tokens over cleartext HTTP

Subject: [PATCH 31/46] test: audit and improve search test coverage

- Remove tautological TestNewSearchCmd_Flags (only checked cobra flags exist)
- Rewrite TestSearchCmd_AccessibleModeRequiresQuery to verify exact error
  message through root.Execute() instead of accepting any error
- Add tests for fetch-more error path, exhausted API capping total,
  "Loading more results..." view state, filter persistence to searchCfg,
  and apiPage initialization

Subject: [PATCH 32/46] fix: handle ssh:// URLs, strip quoted date filters,
 prevent narrow terminal panic
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Fixes from bugbot review:
- Support ssh://git@github.com/owner/repo.git URL format in
  ParseGitHubRemote by using url.Parse for all scheme-based URLs
- Strip quotes from date filter values (date:"week" → week) matching
  the existing behavior for author filters
- Guard contentWidth with max(0) to prevent strings.Repeat panic
  on terminals narrower than 2 columns

Subject: [PATCH 33/46] fix: parse inline author:/date: filters from CLI args

CLI args like `entire search auth author:alice` were sending
"auth author:alice" as the raw query instead of extracting the
filter. Now runs ParseSearchInput on CLI args to extract inline
filters, with --author/--date flags taking precedence.

Subject: [PATCH 35/46] feat: add branch filtering to search command and TUI

Support --branch flag, branch:name inline syntax in CLI args and
TUI search bar, sent as branch query param to the search API.
Included in HasFilters() so filter-only searches work.

Subject: [PATCH 36/46] fix: move no-query check before auth so it works
 without credentials

The no-query + non-interactive error check ran after auth lookup,
so in environments without credentials (CI) it would fail with
"not authenticated" instead of the expected "query required" error.
Move the check before auth/git operations since it only needs the
parsed flags.

 improved error handling to search TUI

- Wrap browse mode in a scrollable viewport with mouse wheel support
- Add full-screen detail view (enter key) with viewport scrolling
- Word-wrap long prompts in detail view
- Truncate inline detail card to 15 lines with "enter for more" hint
- Isolate search input mode (/ key) from results rendering
- Show full response body in error messages instead of cryptic JSON parse errors
- Add modeDetail with esc/backspace to return, / to search from any mode

Subject: [PATCH 38/46] feat: add --page and --json pagination with client-side
 paging

- Add --page flag (1-based, default 1) and --limit (default 25)
- JSON output includes total, page, total_pages, and limit metadata
- All output modes now fetch MaxLimit (200) from API and paginate
  client-side, matching TUI behavior
- Extract writeSearchJSON helper to keep maintainability index clean

Subject: [PATCH 39/46] fix: JSON pagination and accessible table column
 overflow

- Add --page flag with client-side pagination for JSON output
- Fetch MaxLimit (200) results for all output modes, paginate locally
- JSON output includes total, page, total_pages, limit metadata
- Fix accessible table double-space separators to match computeColumns
  gap assumption (prevents 4-char terminal overflow)

Subject: [PATCH 43/46] fix: require --json in search subagents and fix
 exhaustive switch

Committed subagent files (.claude, .gemini, .codex) said "prefer" --json
but should require it to prevent launching the interactive TUI. Also add
missing exhaustive switch cases in reportSearchSubagentScaffold.

Subject: [PATCH 44/46] rename search subagents to entire-search for Claude,
 Codex, and Gemini

Avoids name collisions with user-defined "search" subagents by using a
namespaced identifier. Updates file names, template name fields, generated
paths, and all unit/integration test expectations.

Subject: [PATCH 46/46] fix: remove unused nolint directive and fix misleading
 error message

Remove stale //nolint:unparam on setupAgentHooks (CI lint failure).
Change setupAgentHooksNonInteractive error from "failed to install hooks"
to "failed to setup hooks" since setupAgentHooks can also fail during
search subagent scaffolding after hooks are already installed.
