lcm-e2e

name	lcm-e2e
description	Run the E2E validation checklist against a real lcm installation. Tests daemon, hooks, import, compact, promote, retrieval, and resilience. Pass a flow name for a subset (import, compact, promote, curate, retrieval, hooks, doctor, cleanup), or omit for the full suite.

Current state

lcm binary

!lcm --version 2>/dev/null || echo "ERROR: lcm not in PATH"

Daemon status

!lcm status 2>/dev/null || echo "Daemon not running"

Task

Run the E2E validation checklist from .claude-plugin/skills/lcm-e2e/checklist.md.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

• If $ARGUMENTS is empty → run all flows in order
• If $ARGUMENTS is import → run Flows 1, 2, 3, 4
• If $ARGUMENTS is compact → run Flows 1, 2, 5
• If $ARGUMENTS is promote → run Flows 1, 2, 5, 6
• If $ARGUMENTS is curate → run Flows 1, 2, 5, 6, 7
• If $ARGUMENTS is retrieval → run Flows 1, 2, 5, 6, 8
• If $ARGUMENTS is hooks → run Flows 1, 2, 9, 10, 14, 15, 16, 18
• If $ARGUMENTS is doctor → run Flows 1, 11, 12, 19
• If $ARGUMENTS is cleanup → run Flow 13 only

Steps

1. Read the checklist: .claude-plugin/skills/lcm-e2e/checklist.md
2. Determine which flows to run based on arguments
3. For each step in each flow: a. Print the step description b. Run the command c. Evaluate against expected output d. Mark ✓ (pass) or ✗ (fail) with a one-line explanation
4. If a flow fails a critical step, note it and continue (don't abort)
5. Always run Flow 13 (cleanup) at the end of the full suite
6. Print the summary table with actual ✓/✗ results

CRITICAL: Data Isolation

Live mode NEVER touches user data.

All operations use an isolated temp directory as cwd:

• Create: mktemp -d /tmp/lcm-e2e-test-XXXXXX
• This temp cwd creates a separate project database under ~/.lossless-claude/projects/<hash>/
• The user's real project data is never accessed
• Cleanup removes both the temp dir AND the project under ~/.lossless-claude/projects/

Important notes

• This modifies ONLY temp/test directories — never the user's real project
• Auto-heal flow (16) is READ-ONLY in live mode: verify hooks exist, don't break them
• If lcm is not in PATH, show an error and stop
• If daemon is not running, try lcm daemon start --detach first
• Do not abort on first failure — the goal is a complete picture
