Summary

  • allow typed repeated clauses to own scoped flags
  • allow separator-free clauses with one required terminal positional, which implicitly ends each instance
  • keep compiled Rust, portable KDL/reference parsing, help/completion, and generated Go bindings in sync
  • reject ambiguous implicit layouts, conflicting flag spellings, duplicate scalar flags within an instance, and unterminated scoped flags

Testing

  • mise run ci

Note

Medium Risk
Touches core CLI parsing, binding, and compatibility across Rust, reference parser, and Go; behavior changes for clauses and flag scoping are easy to get wrong at instance boundaries.

Overview
Clauses are no longer separator-only positional groups: they can carry scoped flags per repeatable instance, and separator is optional—when omitted, finishing the single required non-variadic positional implicitly starts the next instance (with flag state reset).

The change threads through argv parsing (clause separators not consumed as flag values, implicit ClauseSeparator events), derive/codegen (clause inner Args flags merged into tables; compile-time checks for implicit layout and non-conflicting spellings), help/completion/KDL emission, the reference parser (clause_flags, per-instance requirements/conflicts/fallbacks), spec diff diagnostics, Go codegen/parser, and updated clause docs.

Breaking API shape: Clause.separator is now Option<…> and clauses include a flags slice everywhere tables/metadata are built.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Clauses now support scoped flags and optional separators. Separator-less clauses end after one required terminal positional. Parsers, generated bindings, specifications, help, completion, diagnostics, and conformance tests handle the new behavior.

Changes

Implicit Clause Support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Clause contracts and specification validation
argv/src/lib.rs, argv/src/spec.rs, lib/src/spec/*, derive/src/model.rs, docs/spec/reference/clause.md, go/argv/argv.go, go/internal/spec/spec.go
Clause separators are optional. Clauses can contain scoped flags. Implicit clauses require one required, non-variadic positional and reject conflicting flag spellings.
Clause parsing and instance boundaries
argv/src/lib.rs, go/argv/parser.go, lib/src/parse.rs, go/argv/parser_test.go
Parsers emit implicit clause boundaries after terminal positionals, reset clause-local state, and store scoped flags per clause instance.
Generated tables and Go bindings
conformance/src/tables.rs, derive/src/codegen.rs, lib/src/go/mod.rs, lib/src/go/structs.rs
Generated tables, metadata, structs, flag lookup, duplicate checks, and bindings include clause flags and optional separators.
Help, completion, diagnostics, and conformance
argv/src/help.rs, go/argv/help.go, cli/src/cli/complete_word.rs, cli/src/cli/diff.rs, argv/src/complete.rs, conformance/tests/clause.rs
Help and completion render implicit clauses correctly. Diagnostics describe missing separators as implicit. Tests cover scoped flags, invalid layouts, duplicate flags, and updated fixtures.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 63136

The PR adds per-instance scoped flags and implicit clause boundaries across Rust and Go parsing. Generated paths maintain the behavior, but manually constructed specifications can declare a scoped flag without adding it to the command flag table, causing that flag to be rejected or interpreted incorrectly; merge is reasonable with explicit owner follow-up to enforce or document this invariant.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with flags in my pack,
A terminal carrot marks the track.
Separators may hide from view,
Each scoped flag starts fresh and new,
And every clause hops cleanly back.

265-279: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Detect conditional behavior on clause flags.

has_relationship_values and has_default_if inspect command flags but omit command.clause_flags. If only scoped flags use required_if_eq, requires_if, or default_if, generated code omits the required value state and passes nil relationship values during per-instance validation.

Include clause flags in these scans. Apply conditional defaults and value-dependent rules against each clause instance.

- Line 475: Update the clause comparison branch in the diff compatibility logic
to compare both Clause.flags and Clause.args whenever both clauses are present,
reusing the existing flag and argument comparison rules so added required scoped
flags, removed flag spellings, and argument changes are reported as breaking
alongside separator changes.

In `@conformance/src/tables.rs`:
- Around line 93-105: Update clause flag construction in the command-table
builder to reuse the existing Flag instances from the clause-owned suffix of
flags rather than calling build_flag again. Preserve the ordering and ownership
expected by CommandMeta.flags and ClauseMeta.flags so pointer-based suppression

In `@derive/src/codegen.rs`:
- Around line 9388-9408: Gate both clause validation calls in clause_checks with
the same !__usage_exclusive_present || &lt;ty&gt;::exclusive_given(...)
condition used by flattened_checks, so finished and current clause instances
skip requiredness checks when a command-level exclusive flag is present while
retaining normal validation otherwise.

In `@go/internal/spec/spec.go`:
- Around line 772-776: Update the post-binding metadata processing in
collectMulti and resolveRelationships to iterate a combined command-and-clause
flag sequence, including flags from c.Clause.Flags in the same order as
out.Flags. Preserve existing handling for c.Flags while ensuring clause-only
flags receive count/var accumulation and relationship rules such as conflicts,
requires, and overrides.

In `@lib/src/go/mod.rs`:
- Line 395: Update the command-wide validation loop around
e.flags.iter().chain(&e.clause_flags) to exclude entries marked as clauseFlag
from the scope used for required-flag checks, while retaining them in
Command.Flags for token matching; leave their validation to each clause
instance.

In `@lib/src/go/structs.rs`:
- Around line 648-651: Update the assignment generation around flag_type and
flag_assign to track occurrence counts and polarity for each clause instance.
Generate count assignments using the clause-local count as an integer, and
materialize boolean assignments from the parsed negation or bool_value state
instead of always assigning true; preserve the existing append behavior for
[]string and last-value behavior for other string flags.

In `@lib/src/parse.rs`:
- Around line 4444-4451: Update the clause flag handling around
validate_clause_relationships so scoped flags remain available for per-clause
validation after binding. Validate each out.clause_flags entry against its
corresponding positional clause instance, while keeping command-level validation
of out.flags separate and preventing required scoped flags from being treated as
absent.
- Line 1675: Update the separator-handling branch in the parser to process any
pending value-taking scoped flag before clearing out.flag_awaiting_value. For
inputs such as “--postinstall :::”, settle optional flags or return the
established missing-value error rather than discarding the pending flag.

In `@lib/src/spec/mod.rs`:

646-658: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Preserve count and boolean-flag semantics per clause instance.

This match flag_type(flag) only special-cases "bool" and "[]string". Every other clause flag type, including "int" (a scoped count flag), falls into _ => item.{field} = values[len(values)-1], which assigns a string value into an int field. The generated Go code does not compile for a scoped count flag. A negated boolean flag, or one with bool_value, also always materializes as true, ignoring the actual value/negation the parser recorded.

Track the clause-local occurrence count and polarity the same way flag_assign does for ordinary flags, and materialize the count/bool assignment from that state instead of unconditionally treating unmatched types as plain strings.

This is the same finding raised on an earlier commit; the code is unchanged and the defect is still present. The current test suite (ToolClause in conformance/tests/clause.rs) only exercises a plain Option<String> scoped flag, so this path is not covered by CI.

9395-9422: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Gate clause_checks by __usage_exclusive_present, like flattened_checks.

flattened_checks skips its validation call unless !__usage_exclusive_present || <ty>::exclusive_given(...).is_some(). The clause_checks block at Line 9409 still calls check_with_args_override_self on every finished instance unconditionally, and on the current instance whenever #check_current is true, regardless of whether an exclusive flag was given elsewhere on the command.

If a CLI declares a #[usage(exclusive)] flag alongside a clause, giving that flag together with an unfinished or empty clause instance still reports MissingRequired for the clause's positional, even though an exclusive flag is meant to be the command's escape from requiredness.

🛠️ Proposed fix to respect the exclusive escape hatch
     let clause_checks = cli.fields.iter().filter_map(|field| {
         let Kind::Clause { ty, separator } = &field.kind else {
             return None;
         };

In `@lib/src/go/structs.rs`:
- Line 688: Update the clause-instance validation around argv.Check to pass a
polarity-aware duplicate count instead of the raw instanceOccurrences[key]
value. Use polaritySeen so one positive and one negated spelling normalizes to
count 1, while repeated occurrences of the same polarity remain count 2 for
RejectDuplicate.
- Line 688: Update the clause-instance processing around argv.Check to apply
argv.Fill, argv.ApplyDefaultIf, and source tracking to each instance before
validation, relationship checks, and item assignment. Ensure required and
optional clause flags receive declared fallback, default, env, and default_if
values while preserving per-instance occurrence counts and passing the populated
instance to argv.Check.

290-311: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Reject a sigil on the clause's sole implicit positional.

implicit_clause_assertions checks that the inner command has exactly one required, non-variadic positional and no subcommands, but it never checks INNER.args[0].sigil. In argv/src/lib.rs, next_arg() skips sigil-tagged arguments (.find(|arg| arg.sigil.is_none())), and word() binds a sigil-classified token through match_sigil_arg's early-return path, which never runs the code that schedules pending_clause_boundary. If the clause's sole positional carries a sigil, a separator-less clause therefore never completes an instance boundary: Event::ClauseSeparator never fires, and every value accumulates into one instance.

Add a fourth assertion alongside the existing three, in both emit (lines 290-311) and emit_args (lines 6427-6442):

🛠️ Proposed fix
                     assert!(
                         INNER.subcommands.is_empty(),
                         "an implicit clause cannot contain subcommands",
                     );
+                    assert!(
+                        INNER.args[0].sigil.is_none(),
+                        "an implicit clause's sole positional cannot use a sigil",
+                    );
                 };
