fn-9.4 flowctl integration lib

Description

Create flowctl integration library for spawning and parsing output.

File

src/lib/flowctl.ts

Functions

// Find flowctl path (bundled or .flow/bin)
// Note: async due to filesystem checks during path resolution
async function getFlowctlPath(): Promise<string>

// Run flowctl command, parse JSON output
async function flowctl<T>(args: string[]): Promise<T>

// List commands (return minimal types matching flowctl output)
async function getEpics(): Promise<EpicListItem[]>  // id, title, status, tasks (count), done (count)
async function getTasks(epicId: string): Promise<TaskListItem[]>  // id, epic, title, status, priority, depends_on
async function getReadyTasks(epicId: string): Promise<ReadyResponse>  // ready/in_progress/blocked TaskSummary arrays

// Detail commands (return full types via flowctl show)
async function getEpic(epicId: string): Promise<Epic>
async function getTask(taskId: string): Promise<Task>
async function getTaskSpec(taskId: string): Promise<string>

flowctl location (for npm-distributed TUI)

Search order:

1. .flow/bin/flowctl (installed via /flow-next:setup)
2. ./plugins/flow-next/scripts/flowctl (repo-local plugin checkout)
3. flowctl or flowctl.py on PATH
4. Error with message: "flowctl not found. Run /flow-next:setup or ensure flow-next plugin is installed."

Invocation

flowctl.py is a Python script with shebang. Invoke via:

Bun.spawn(['python3', flowctlPath, ...args])
// OR if shebang works:
Bun.spawn([flowctlPath, ...args])

Detect which works and cache the method.

Error handling

• Parse JSON errors gracefully
• Return typed error objects
• Handle non-zero exit codes

Acceptance

• getFlowctlPath() finds flowctl or throws helpful error
• flowctl(['epics', '--json']) returns parsed JSON
• getTasks('fn-1') returns Task[] matching types
• getTaskSpec('fn-1.1') returns markdown string
• Errors include context (command, exit code, stderr)

Done summary

• Added src/lib/flowctl.ts with path resolution and JSON command runner
• Searches .flow/bin, plugins dir, repo root (via .git/HEAD), then PATH
• Helper functions: getEpics, getTasks, getTaskSpec, getReadyTasks, getEpic, getTask
• FlowctlError class with command, exit code, stderr context

Why:

• TUI needs to invoke flowctl commands and parse results
• Path resolution handles running from subdirectories

Verification:

• 32 tests pass including integration tests with real flowctl
• Lint clean (oxlint)
