feat(cli): add -C / --cd <dir> to set the working directory (Codex parity)#148
Merged
Conversation
…rity) Codex's `-C`/`--cd` runs the agent against a directory other than the shell's cwd; DeepCode had no equivalent — every path was hardwired to process.cwd(). Parse `-C`/`--cd` and chdir once in main() after the --help/--version short-circuit but before any subcommand/REPL/headless path reads cwd, so a single chdir covers them all. A non-existent directory fails fast with exit 2. Adds parser tests for -C/--cd and documents the flag in --help. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <[email protected]>

…code (#154) * docs(behavior-parity): audit slash-command + CLI-flag tables against code Reconcile docs/BEHAVIOR_PARITY.md with the actual source. Verified every row in the Slash-commands, CLI-flags, and Tools tables by grepping the code rather than trusting the doc. Slash commands (apps/cli/src/commands.ts BUILTIN_COMMANDS): - /init 🔄 → ✅ — runInitFlow is a real 3-phase REPL flow (scan → draft → approve-write AGENTS.md), wired in repl.ts; no longer a stub. - /bug ✗ → ✅ and /release-notes ✗ → ✅ — both registered since PR #150. - /upgrade ✓/🟡 → ✗/🔄 — there is no /upgrade slash command; it is the `deepcode upgrade` CLI subcommand (cli.ts) that prints an upgrade hint. - add missing rows: /diff (✅, PR #150) and /keybindings (🆕, DeepCode-only). - /effort wording: CLI prints the EFFORT_PARAMS-derived tier table (PR #147). - header count ~20 → ~28 shipped. - genuinely-missing commands kept 🔄 (/btw /recap /voice /teleport /desktop /background /batch /tasks /plan /login /logout /pr_comments /terminal-setup /privacy-settings /migrate-installer); skill-backed kept 🟡 (/review, /security-review, /schedule, /loop — skills confirmed under packages/core/skills). CLI flags (apps/cli/src/parse-args.ts + cli.ts): - split `--mode` / `--permission-mode`: the latter is parsed + validated but never consumed (cli.ts forwards only args.mode) → 🔄 not wired. - add `-C` / `--cd <dir>` (✅, wired via process.chdir in cli.ts, PR #148). Tools table (de-staled by PR #151) re-verified row-by-row — all markers hold: TaskTool + ctx.runSubAgent (agent.ts), all 7 TASK_TOOLS, NotebookEdit, AskUserQuestion, Enter/ExitPlanMode, Enter/ExitWorktree, ToolSearch, Cron*; ScheduleWakeup correctly⚠️ (not a tool — use CronCreate). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <[email protected]> * docs(behavior-parity): fix /keybindings — it's a Claude Code built-in, not DeepCode-only Verified against Claude Code's built-in command set: /keybindings ships in Claude Code ("open or create your keybindings config file"). DeepCode's /keybindings only lists bindings (read-only; edit ~/.deepcode/keybindings.json by hand), so mark it ✓ / ✓ (read-only) / 🟡 — same shape as /config and /permissions — rather than 🆕 DeepCode-only.

-C/--cd <dir>runs the agent against a directory other than the shell's cwd. DeepCode had no equivalent — every path (REPL, headless,mcp/trust/plugins/skillssubcommands,doctor) was hardwired toprocess.cwd(). This parses-C/--cdandchdirs once inmain()after the--help/--versionshort-circuit but before anything reads cwd, so one chdir covers every path.
