- add pubcli compare command to rank nearby stores by filtered deal coverage, bogo count, aggregate score, and distance tie-breaks
- support --count (1-10) for comparison breadth and emit structured JSON/text output with ranked entries
- add robust distance token parsing to tolerate upstream distance string formatting differences
- add pubcli tui interactive terminal browser with paging, deal detail drill-in, and explicit TTY validation for stdin/stdout
- share deal-filter flag registration across root/tui/compare and add --sort support in root execution path
- validate sort mode early and allow canonical aliases (end, expiry, expiration) while preserving explicit invalid-arg guidance
- expand tolerant CLI normalization for new commands/flags and aliases (orderby, sortby, count, bare-flag rewrite for compare/tui)
- update quick-start flag list and integration tests to cover compare help and normalization behavior
Agent-friendly argument normalization that auto-corrects common
CLI syntax mistakes before cobra parses them:
- Single-dash long flags: -zip -> --zip
- Bare key=value: zip=33101 -> --zip=33101
- Typos via Levenshtein distance (max 2): --ziip -> --zip
- Command typos: categoriess -> categories
- Flag aliases: --zipcode, --dept, --search -> canonical names
Corrections emit a "note:" line to stderr showing what was rewritten.
Positional arguments for completion/help subcommands are preserved
(e.g., "completion zsh" is not rewritten). Integration tests verify
end-to-end behavior including tolerance notes, double-dash boundaries,
and help output for rewritten args.
Three cobra commands forming the CLI surface:
- root: fetch and filter weekly deals (--store/--zip with BOGO,
category, department, query, and limit filters)
- stores: list nearby Publix locations by ZIP code
- categories: show available deal categories with counts
Structured error system with typed error codes (INVALID_ARGS,
NOT_FOUND, UPSTREAM_ERROR, INTERNAL_ERROR) and semantic exit codes
(0-4). Errors render as human-readable text or JSON depending on
output mode. Robot-mode features: auto-JSON when stdout is not a TTY,
compact quick-start help when invoked with no args, and JSON error
payloads for programmatic consumers.
Initialize the publix-deals Go module (go 1.24.4) with core
dependencies: cobra for CLI structure, lipgloss for styled terminal
output, testify for assertions, and x/term for TTY detection.
The main entrypoint at cmd/pubcli/main.go delegates to cmd.Execute().
The .gitignore covers Go build artifacts, editor files, coverage
output, and jj VCS state.
