MosisService/DEV_PORTAL_M11_CLI.md

Milestone 11: Developer CLI Tool

Status: Decided Goal: Command-line tool for app development workflow.

Decision

Go + Cobra for single-binary cross-platform CLI:

Framework:    Cobra (github.com/spf13/cobra)
Distribution: Single binary (no runtime dependencies)
Signing:      crypto/ed25519 (stdlib)
Auth:         OAuth2 device flow + API key storage
Portal URL:   Configurable (default: self-hosted Synology)

Rationale

1. Consistency - Same language as Portal backend (Go)
2. Single binary - No Node.js/Python runtime needed
3. Fast - Compiles to native code, instant startup
4. Cross-platform - Build for Windows, macOS, Linux from one codebase
5. Cobra ecosystem - Shell completions, man pages, help generation

        Use:   "mosis",
        Short: "Mosis app development CLI",
        Long:  "CLI tool for building, signing, and publishing Mosis apps",
    }

    // Global flags
    rootCmd.PersistentFlags().StringP("portal", "p", "", "Portal URL (default from config)")
    rootCmd.PersistentFlags().BoolP("verbose", "v", false, "Verbose output")

    // Commands
    rootCmd.AddCommand(initCmd())

OAuth2 Device Flow (Login)

func loginCmd() *cobra.Command {

            fmt.Printf("Go to: %s\n", device.VerificationURI)

            fmt.Println("Waiting for authorization...")

            // Poll for token
            token, err := pollForToken(portalURL, device.DeviceCode, device.Interval)
            if err != nil {

            fmt.Printf("✓ Logged in as %s\n", token.Email)
            return nil
        },
    }
}

Ed25519 Signing

func signPackage(packagePath, keyPath string) error {
    // Read private key
    keyPEM, err := os.ReadFile(keyPath)
    if err != nil {
        return fmt.Errorf("failed to read key: %w", err)
    }

    block, _ := pem.Decode(keyPEM)
    privateKey, err := x509.ParsePKCS8PrivateKey(block.Bytes)
    if err != nil {
        return fmt.Errorf("invalid key format: %w", err)
    }

    ed25519Key := privateKey.(ed25519.PrivateKey)

    // Generate MANIFEST.MF with file hashes
    manifest, err := generateManifest(packagePath)
    if err != nil {
        return err
    }

    // Sign manifest
    signature := ed25519.Sign(ed25519Key, manifest)

    // Add signature to package
    return addSignatureToPackage(packagePath, manifest, signature)
}

Deliverables

• CLI framework selected (Go + Cobra)
• init command (template generation)
• validate command
• build command (ZIP package creation)
• sign command (Ed25519 signing)
• run command (designer subprocess)
• login/logout commands (OAuth2 device flow)
• publish command (HTTP upload to Portal)
• status command
• keys subcommands (generate, register, list)
• Configuration management (viper)
• Cross-platform builds (goreleaser)
• CI/CD examples (GitHub Actions)

---

Open Questions

1. Should CLI auto-update itself? → No, manual updates via package manager
2. Offline mode for build/sign? → Yes, build/sign work offline
3. Plugin system for custom commands? → Defer to post-MVP
4. IDE integrations (VS Code extension)? → Consider for v1.1
