Code session — scaffolder — 2026-03-22

What was completed

Executed docs/issues/GITHUB-ISSUES-2026-03-21-v0100-cli-rewrite.md top to bottom (34 operations, 7 phases).

Phase 1 — Remove dead CLI commands (decision-0002)

• Deleted 5 source files: scHelp.ts, scQueue.ts, scRuleset.ts, openVSCode.ts, session.ts
• Removed all imports, functions, and switch cases for 11 commands
• Inlined openVSCode into index.ts (one-line execSync call used by handleCreate)
• Removed unused capitalize function
• Fixed duplicate execSync import in index.ts
• Updated usage text to show only: init, config, create, start, update, migrate-path

Phase 2 — Rewrite sc start

• New handleStart: resolves project path from config.defaultDrive, verifies existence, launches harley
• Added start case back to switch statement
• Tested: usage error (no args), nonexistent project error, path resolution

Phase 3 — Fix hardcoded D: drive (#251)

• Found and replaced hardcoded fallbacks in 5 files: createFolders.ts, index.ts, scMigratePath.ts, updateProject.ts (2 locations), config.ts
• All now require config.defaultDrive; error out with clear message if not set
• Renamed defaultScaleTier default from “hobby” to “basic” per decision-0001
• Tested: empty defaultDrive produces “No default drive configured” error

Phase 4 — sc config test pass (#273)

• Tested: list, get (valid key, invalid key), set (set/verify/restore), edge cases (missing args, no subcommand, empty value)
• All tests passed. Closed #273.

Phase 5 — sc update test pass (#269)

• Created test project, set version to 0.8.1, ran update to 0.9.0 — success
• Discovered and fixed bug: createBackup crashed on subdirectory paths (ai-sessions/) because it didn’t create parent dirs in backup location
• Tested rollback — success
• Tested nonexistent project — clear error
• Cleaned up test project and GitHub repo
• Closed #269.

Phase 6 — Add session-end hook

• Created .claude/settings.json with SessionEnd hook
• Hook auto-commits modified ai-sessions/ files on exit
• Note: AI-generated content (CURRENT-CODE.md, session logs) still requires the session-end skill to run first; the hook catches anything left uncommitted

Phase 7 — Final verification and PR

• Clean build, sc —version 0.9.1, dry-run shows correct paths
• Pushed feature/cli-rewrite, opened PR #319 to dev
• PR merged by operator

Decisions made

• Inlined openVSCode rather than keeping a one-line module
• SessionEnd hook (not Stop) — Stop fires every turn which would be too noisy
• Hook only auto-commits session files, doesn’t attempt AI-generated content

Bugs found and fixed

• createBackup in updateProject.ts didn’t create subdirectories before copying files in nested paths
• Duplicate execSync import in index.ts after replacing openVSCode import

Current state

• feature/cli-rewrite merged to dev
• CLI commands: init, config, create, start, update, migrate-path (6 total, down from ~17)
• No hardcoded paths anywhere in src/
• 2 issues remain open: #257 (README), #300 (docs audit)
• Build clean

Next steps

• Joker session needed for #257 and #300
• Then release flow: dev -> staging -> main -> tag v0.10.0
