* ci: migrate SDK publish workflows to repo root
Move publish-cli.yaml, publish-sdk.yaml, and test.yml (renamed to
sdk-test.yml) from sdk/.github/workflows/ to the repo root so GitHub
Actions actually picks them up. Adapt them to run with cwd sdk/ via
workflow-level defaults.run.working-directory, repoint repo guards
from cline/sdk to cline/cline, switch publish-sdk's nested test call
to sdk-test.yml, add path filters on sdk-test.yml so it doesn't fire
on extension-only PRs, and re-enable NPM_CONFIG_PROVENANCE now that
cline/cline is public.
Update the publish-cli skill with a cwd note so the documented
release commands keep working from sdk/.
* ci: remove legacy CLI publish workflows
The legacy publish chain (publish-cli-trusted.yaml dispatching into
npm-main.yaml + npm-nightly.yaml) publishes the old cli/ folder to
the same cline npm package the new SDK CLI is taking over. Leave
both wired up and a maintainer could accidentally publish an old
build over the handoff. Remove the dispatcher, the two callees, the
PR-preview tarball workflow (pack-cli.yml + build-cli-artifact.sh),
the TUI test workflow that only fed into them, and the npm packaging
script those workflows shared.
The cli/ source itself is left in place for a separate removal PR.
* chore: remove legacy CLI dev and eval helpers
With the legacy CLI publish workflows gone, the surrounding dev and
eval glue that only existed to feed those workflows is also dead.
Delete tests/e2e/cli/ (TUI tests), evals/smoke-tests/ (CLI smoke
evals), and the cline-evals-regression.yml workflow that drove them.
Trim the root package.json scripts that pointed at this infra:
- cli:link, cli:build, cli:run, cli:build:production, cli:watch,
cli:test, cli:dev, cli:unlink (all delegated into cli/)
- compile-standalone-npm and postcompile-standalone-npm (only the
removed npm-main/npm-nightly workflows called them)
- test:e2e:cli:tui (only the removed cli-tui-tests.yml called it)
- eval:smoke:*, which chained through cli:build + cli:link
Drop the trailing `cd ../cli && npx tsc --noEmit` segment from
check-types so the root typecheck stops walking into cli/.
The cli/ source itself stays in place for a separate removal PR.
* docs(evals): note removed smoke-tests layer
The evals/README.md and evals/ARCHITECTURE.md were structured around
smoke-tests as Layer 2 of the pyramid. With evals/smoke-tests/ and
the eval:smoke scripts gone, those references are stale. Add a top-
of-doc banner pointing at the removal rather than gutting both files
in this PR; a follow-up can scrub the structure when the framework
is updated for the new SDK CLI.
* chore(evals): restore smoke-tests, disable workflow pending rewire
The smoke-test scenarios in evals/smoke-tests/ are CLI-agnostic — each
scenario is just a config.json prompt plus optional template files —
so they're worth preserving across the legacy CLI sunset. Restore the
directory and the cline-evals-regression.yml workflow, but reduce the
workflow's triggers to workflow_dispatch only so it doesn't auto-run
in its current legacy-CLI-coupled form. Add a header comment pointing
at the rewire work.
Update the evals/README.md and evals/ARCHITECTURE.md banners from
"removed" to "temporarily disabled" to match reality.
Wiring the workflow at the new SDK CLI (and restoring the eval:smoke
root scripts) is left for whoever picks up the eval framework refresh.
* chore(evals): restore eval:smoke:run for ad-hoc smoke checks
The runner (`evals/smoke-tests/run-smoke-tests.ts`) shells out to
whichever `cline` is on $PATH, so it already works against the new
SDK CLI once `npm i -g cline` installs it. Add back just the single
`eval:smoke:run` script so docs and manual validation have a working
entrypoint. The build-and-link chain (`eval:smoke:build`, `eval:smoke`,
`eval:smoke:ci`) stays out — those need rewiring before they function.
Update the README/ARCHITECTURE banners accordingly.
* fix(ci): update SDK npm repository metadata
* fix(ci): tighten SDK publish workflows
The Kanban launch-by-default feature (beb54a4) redirects bare `cline`
invocations to Kanban, which blocks all TUI tests that launch without
`--tui`. Adding the flag ensures tests reach the legacy TUI as expected.
* feat(cli): refresh welcome banner and kanban launcher
* feat(cli): launch kanban by default with migration view
* feat(cli): add kanban process lifecycle management
Detach the kanban child process on Unix so it gets its own process
group, forward signals to the group for graceful shutdown, and fall
back to SIGKILL after a 10s timeout. Resolves exit codes from signals
correctly (130 for SIGINT, 143 for SIGTERM).
* add tui UI tests
using microsoft/tui-test library, can run many headless versions of
cline and execute ui tests (requires Node <= 20)
improve brittle sleep calls
* add cli-tui-tests github action
