description	Launch and drive parsedmarc's CLI to verify parser/output changes end-to-end against the bundled sample reports.

Verifying parsedmarc changes

The runtime surface is the parsedmarc CLI; the library's stream APIs are drivable via python -c through the public parsedmarc package.

Launch

# No config file → results print as JSON to stdout. --offline skips DNS/downloads.
GITHUB_ACTIONS=true .venv/bin/python -m parsedmarc.cli --offline <sample files>

• Do not use -c ci.ini locally: it points at http://localhost:9200 Elasticsearch (a CI service container) and retries for ~75s before failing.
• GITHUB_ACTIONS=true skips live DNS lookups.
• --debug surfaces per-file parse warnings/errors (invalid reports are otherwise dropped silently from the JSON).

Good sample inputs (all under samples/)

• aggregate/rfc9990-sample.xml — RFC 9990 aggregate report
• aggregate/*.xml.zip, aggregate/*.xml.gz — archive extraction paths
• failure/dmarc_ruf_report_linkedin.eml — failure (RUF) report with an embedded rfc822 sample (exercises utils.parse_email)
• aggregate/invalid_xml.xml — recovered via lxml, parses with errors set

Stream API (stdin is genuinely non-seekable when piped)

cat samples/aggregate/*.xml.gz | .venv/bin/python -c \
  "import sys, parsedmarc; print(parsedmarc.extract_report(sys.stdin.buffer)[:80])"
# Text-mode stdin must raise ParserError ("binary (rb) mode"):
cat samples/extract_report/nice-input.xml | .venv/bin/python -c \
  "import sys, parsedmarc; parsedmarc.extract_report(sys.stdin)"

Gotchas

• Parse failures are WARNING-level log lines, not stderr errors — grep the --debug output; the JSON just omits the report.
• To compare against unfixed code: git stash push -- <file>, run, git stash pop.
