Summary

Implements the install subcommand as PR-I1 of the CLI Install plan (plans/active/PLAN-CLI-INSTALL.md) and propose/active/CLI-INSTALL-PROPOSE.md.

The install command provides an interactive 6-stage setup wizard:

  1. Java source detection - Maven/Gradle build file discovery with microservice support
  2. Embedding model selection - Path validation with "auto" default
  3. Agent host selection - Multi-host support (claude-code, qwen-code, gigacode)
  4. Scope selection - Project or user scope
  5. Artifact deployment - MCP config merge, skill/agent copy, permission handling
  6. Config generation - YAML output + .gitignore update

Key features:

  • Non-interactive mode - --non-interactive --agent <host> for CI/automation
  • Multi-host support - Configure multiple agents in one run
  • Re-run detection - Updates existing config or offers fresh start
  • Atomic MCP merge - Preserves existing keys in config files
  • Package data - Skill/agent artifacts shipped inside the package

No ontology bump, no re-index required - This is a CLI/UX feature only.

Files Changed

New files

  • java_codebase_rag/installer.py - Core installer logic (920 lines)
  • java_codebase_rag/install_data/ - Package data for skill + agent artifacts
  • tests/test_installer.py - 47 unit tests covering all stages
  • tests/test_installer_integration.py - 2 integration tests (gated behind JAVA_CODEBASE_RAG_RUN_HEAVY)

Modified

  • pyproject.toml - Added questionary>=2.0 dependency and package_data configuration
  • java_codebase_rag/cli.py - Added install subcommand with --non-interactive, --agent, --scope, --model flags

Test Plan

  • 47 unit tests pass (all installer stages)
  • ruff linting passes
  • Existing test suite passes (no regressions)
  • install --non-interactive --agent claude-code completes on bank-chat fixture (exit 0)
  • install --non-interactive --agent claude-code --agent qwen-code multi-host completes (exit 0)
  • Manual interactive testing (TTY prompts)

Integration tests are behind JAVA_CODEBASE_RAG_RUN_HEAVY=1 (same as other e2e tests per tests/README.md).

Usage Examples

# Interactive mode (prompts for all values)
java-codebase-rag install

# Non-interactive, single host
java-codebase-rag install --non-interactive --agent claude-code

# Non-interactive, multiple hosts
java-codebase-rag install --non-interactive --agent claude-code --agent qwen-code

# Custom model
java-codebase-rag install --model /path/to/model.gguf

Dependencies

  • Added questionary>=2.0 for interactive prompts
  • No other new dependencies (reused existing cli_format.py and cli_progress.py for display)

Next Steps

PR-I2 will implement the update subcommand to refresh shipped artifacts after pip install --upgrade.

This commit implements the `install` subcommand as the first PR in the
CLI Install plan. The install command provides an interactive setup
wizard that guides users through:
1. Java source detection (Maven/Gradle)
2. Embedding model selection
3. Agent host configuration (claude-code, qwen-code, gigacode)
4. Artifact deployment (MCP config, skill, agent)
5. YAML config generation and .gitignore update

Key features:
- Interactive prompts via questionary with non-interactive mode
- Multi-host support (configure multiple agents in one run)
- Re-run detection (updates existing config or fresh start)
- Atomic MCP config merge (preserves existing keys)
- Package data for skill/agent artifacts

Files added:
- java_codebase_rag/installer.py: Core installer logic
- java_codebase_rag/install_data/: Package data (skill + agent)
- tests/test_installer.py: 47 unit tests
- tests/test_installer_integration.py: 2 integration tests (behind JAVA_CODEBASE_RAG_RUN_HEAVY)

Files modified:
- pyproject.toml: Added questionary>=2.0 dependency and package_data
- java_codebase_rag/cli.py: Added install subcommand with flags

- C1: Create .git dir in integration test fixtures so .gitignore

- I1: Call run_init_if_needed in run_install orchestrator (was missing)

- I4: Fix potential UnboundLocalError in merge_mcp_config exception

Code Review: PR-I1 — CLI install command

Solid implementation overall. The 6-stage pipeline is well-factored, the prompt() helper cleanly abstracts TTY/non-TTY dispatch, atomic MCP writes are good practice, and test coverage is thorough. Three issues worth fixing before merge:


Bugs

1. --model silently ignored in non-interactive mode (installer.py:817)

def resolve_model(model_input: str | None, *, non_interactive: bool) -> str:
    if non_interactive or not model_input:  # BUG: short-circuits on non_interactive
        return "auto"

install --non-interactive --model /path/to/model.gguf silently discards the model flag. The condition should check for a provided model before short-circuiting on non_interactive.

2. _deploy_mcp_config ignores merge_mcp_config return value (installer.py:1133)

merge_mcp_config returns False on JSON parse errors, but _deploy_mcp_config always returns success=True. A corrupt .mcp.json or .claude.json is silently treated as a successful deployment. Should propagate the result.

3. Shipped SKILL.md has stale ontology version 16 (install_data/skills/explore-codebase/SKILL.md:457)

The codebase ontology is 17 (ONTOLOGY_VERSION = 17 in ast_java.py:86), but the shipped SKILL.md reads **Ontology: 16**. The original skills/explore-codebase/SKILL.md also says 16 — both need updating to 17.


Design issues

4. Inconsistent SystemExit handling in run_install (installer.py:1459)

resolve_mcp_command can raise SystemExit(2) but isn't wrapped in try/except like detect_java_directories and select_hosts are. The process still exits with code 2, but the pattern is inconsistent.

5. Partial failure detection uses fragile suffix-based check (installer.py:1474-1478)

if all(r.success for r in results if r.path.suffix in [".json", ".yml", ".yaml"]):

This determines critical vs non-critical failures by file extension. Consider tagging ArtifactResult with an artifact_type field instead.

6. Shipped artifacts are static copies with no sync mechanism

install_data/ files are copies of repo-root originals. No build step or CI check ensures they stay in sync. An ontology bump or tool description change could drift undetected.


Missing tests vs plan

The plan specifies 54 named tests; implementation has 49 unit + 2 integration. Notable gaps:

Plan # Test Why it matters
12 test_yaml_generation_does_not_write_source_root_or_index_dir Guards against config key regression
34 test_confirm_source_root_interactive_changes_path Non-default path flow
35 test_confirm_source_root_interactive_invalid_path_reprompts Re-prompt loop
42, 44-45 test_resolve_mcp_command_not_found_interactive_* Interactive fallback path
50 test_select_hosts_interactive_all_checked_by_default Checkbox default behavior

The plan contract says: "If you add, drop, or rename tests, update the plan/prompt text in the same change." The plan file hasn't been updated to reflect the drops.


Summary

Fix items 1-3 (bugs), update the plan file for the test drops, and this is ready to merge. Items 4-6 are non-blocking improvements that can be addressed in a follow-up or in PR-I2.

merge_mcp_config now raises ValueError on JSON parse errors instead
of returning False, distinguishing real failures from "already
up to date" no-ops. _deploy_mcp_config catches ValueError and
reports it as a failed artifact. Added test for invalid JSON case.

…gy version)

1. --model no longer silently ignored in non-interactive mode — provided
   paths are resolved; missing paths fall back to "auto" with a warning.
2. merge_mcp_config IO errors now raise RuntimeError instead of returning
   False, so _deploy_mcp_config correctly reports failure.
3. Ontology version bumped from 16 to 17 in both shipped and repo-root
   SKILL.md files.

update_gitignore skips non-git directories. The subprocess-based
integration tests run in a temp copy that lacks .git/, so the
.gitignore assertion fails. Create .git/ before running install.
