Design cargo theorem CLI - #97
Conversation
Define the Cargo-native command surface that replaces the proposed theoremd entry point and absorbs rust-prover-tools workflows. Record OrthoConfig integration, agent-native contracts, project mutation safety, backend management, execution, reporting, and migration boundaries.
Add the new command-line design to the documentation contents so the repository knowledge base remains discoverable.
Add dependency-ordered implementation slices for the Cargo command, project mutation, build integration, backend parity, execution, reporting, and migration.

Reject stdout delivery in JSON mode
When an artefact-producing command is invoked with --json --deliver stdout, this delivery contract requires the report or generated source on stdout, while §8.2 requires stdout to contain exactly one JSON document and explicitly forbids mixing domain output with that document. Define this combination as invalid, or specify a JSON-safe interpretation of stdout, so implementations do not have to violate one of the two public contracts.

Require a theorem selector for multi-failure replay
A run may select many theorems and contain several failures, but replay <run-id> supplies no theorem or counterexample selector and this text does not define which failed theorem is chosen. In that common case the command cannot deterministically satisfy the stated one-run/theorem contract and could replay the wrong evidence; add an ID selector and require it when the source run has multiple replayable failures.

Disambiguate the identifier accepted by create
The project defines a canonical external theorem ID as {normalized_path(P)}#{T} in docs/name-mangling-rules.md:157-167, and this CLI uses <theorem-id> for get and stable-ID selection, but create <theorem-id> also accepts an independent --path and otherwise derives a path. A caller passing the documented canonical form therefore provides the path twice, while a caller passing only T is not supplying the same kind of ID accepted by get; rename this argument to the theorem name or explicitly define how canonical IDs and --path interact.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/cargo-theorem-cli-design.md`:
- Line 352: Correct the capability-matrix wording for the create command from
“refuses overwrite” to “refuses to overwrite,” preserving the existing --force
option and table structure.
- Around line 415-416: Update the JSON envelope documentation to explicitly
define result as success-only and error as failure-only, ensuring the examples
consistently place command data and diagnostics according to that contract.
- Around line 381-388: Update the JSON-mode command semantics so --deliver
stdout is rejected as a usage error whenever --json is active, preserving stdout
for exactly one JSON document; document this invalid combination in the CLI
design and related delivery-option section.
- Around line 678-684: Update the canonical run-record command-capture and
persistence flow to redact sensitive values supplied through --backend-arg
before they are stored or logged. Extend the existing redaction mechanism near
environment values and configured secrets with typed secret arguments or
equivalent field-level redaction, covering the related command-argument metadata
and persistence paths while preserving non-sensitive arguments.
- Around line 527-530: Update the cargo theorem create path handling so explicit
--path values are canonicalized and verified to remain within the selected
workspace, including symlink resolution, before any file is written. Preserve
the existing default theorems/ containment and add a separately guarded escape
hatch only if external paths are intentionally supported.
- Around line 707-711: Update the replay <run-id> design so runs with
multiple failed theorems require an explicit theorem selector such as --id, or
fail with a bounded list of valid failed IDs; never choose an implicit first
failure. Preserve deterministic replay behavior for single-failure runs.
- Around line 129-151: Add a short caption to the Mermaid architecture diagram
and each package, command-capability, exit-code, and principle table in the
document, while preserving the existing description before the diagram and
leaving table contents unchanged.
In `@docs/roadmap.md`:
- Around line 549-553: Add Step 5.2 as a prerequisite for the alias-related work
in Step 5.0, ensuring canonical IDs, alias loading, cycle detection, and
resolution are defined before alias tests or execution depend on them;
alternatively defer alias coverage until Step 5.2 is complete.
- Around line 801-805: Update the roadmap acceptance wording to scope mandatory
code, arguments, and English fallback text to diagnostic objects only, while
localized text remains conditional on a configured localizer; avoid implying
that successful envelopes must contain undocumented diagnostic fields.
- Around line 311-316: Update the roadmap headings for Phase 3A and Steps 3A.1
through 3A.5 to use numeric dotted identifiers, and revise every dependency
reference to match the new identifiers. Preserve the existing heading titles and
roadmap structure.
