workspace-causal-cli

name	workspace-causal-cli
description	Run the offline causal-intelligence CLI over a governed Growthub workspace — growthub plan (blast radius, stale surfaces, lineage), growthub patch (offline allowlisted edit with impact + compliance, PR-ready), growthub capture (live vs repo drift), growthub readiness (ship verdict across forks). Use for scripted or CI-side impact analysis when you want JSON output instead of MCP tool calls.

Workspace Causal CLI — the console's scriptable twin

The same pure derivers behind the governed-universe MCP tools ship as four CLI commands. Use these when you want machine-readable JSON in a script, a CI gate, or a PR body — the MCP tools and these commands derive from one spine, so they can never disagree.

Resolve the CLI in this order (first available wins):

1. growthub … — installed CLI (npm i -g @growthub/cli)
2. npx -y @growthub/cli@0.14.26 … — no install required

All commands accept --fork <path> (default: cwd; the path must contain growthub.config.json at root or under apps/workspace/) and --json.

growthub plan — pre-merge causal impact

growthub plan --json                       # graph stats + stale surfaces
growthub plan --impact <nodeId> --json     # blast radius + workflow impact
growthub plan --lineage <nodeId> --json    # dependents + dependencies closure

<nodeId> accepts a graph node id, metadataId, or label.

growthub patch — offline allowlisted edit, PR-ready

growthub patch --set 'dataModel.objects[0].label="Customers"' --json   # dry-run
growthub patch --set '<path>=<jsonValue>' --write                      # edit repo artifact

• Only dashboards, widgetTypes, canvas, dataModel are patchable — disallowed top-level keys are reported and never written.
• Reports impact (added / modified / removed objects + dashboards) and contract compliance before writing.
• --write edits the repo artifact only — it never touches live state. Promotion stays on the governed PATCH /api/workspace / workflow/publish lanes (see the governed-workspace-mutation skill).

growthub capture — live ↔ repo drift

growthub capture --live http://127.0.0.1:3777 --json

Compares the running control plane (GET /api/workspace) against the repo artifact per allowlisted field and prints the reconcile step when drifted.

growthub readiness — ship verdict

growthub readiness --json                          # this fork
growthub readiness --fork ./a --fork ./b --json    # rollup across forks
growthub readiness --app <appId> --json            # one app scope

Returns { ready, score, summary, nextAction } per fork plus a rollup — suitable as a CI gate before deploys.

Boundaries

• All four commands are read-only except patch --write, which writes one file (the repo config artifact) and is still never a live mutation.
• Do not parse human-mode output — always pass --json in scripts.
• Version-pin @growthub/cli in CI for reproducible verdicts.
