AI Agent Report — uberspace-cli

Status

Phase 1 + 2 of the Rust rewrite are complete. The uc binary compiles and all 24 unit tests pass.

What was done

• Created Rust project (Cargo.toml, binary name uc, CalVer 2026.3.3)
• Implemented all Phase 1 + 2 modules:
  • registry.rs — TOML-based asteroid CRUD (~/.config/uc/registry.toml)
  • ssh.rs — passthrough (ssh -t) and capture (for status collection)
  • cache.rs — per-asteroid TOML status cache (~/.config/uc/cache/*.toml)
  • translate.rs — v7/v8 command translation (mail, port, tools, web backend)
  • status.rs — remote status collection via SSH, colored display, age/staleness
  • cli.rs — clap-derived CLI with fallback to asteroid passthrough
• uc import <path> migrates legacy asteroids.list + cache files

CLI command tree

uc add <name> <server> <version>     # register asteroid
uc list                               # list registered
uc remove <name>                      # deregister
uc status [--refresh]                 # aggregate from cache (or refresh all)
uc <name> status                      # refresh + show one asteroid
uc <name> <args...>                   # passthrough → SSH with v7/v8 translation
uc import <path>                      # migrate from asteroids.list

Architecture notes

• Clap try_parse() + manual fallback handles the uc <name> <args...> passthrough pattern
• SSH passthrough preserves the user's SSH config/keys — no Rust SSH library needed
• Remote status script is the same bash heredoc from the original, embedded as a const
• v8 Rich-table box-drawing chrome is stripped by the remote script before parsing

What's next (Phase 3)

• Dashboard HTTP API: reqwest + serde_json for login, create-asteroid, add-ssh-key, delete
• Session management: cookies + CSRF token in ~/.config/uc/session.toml

Known considerations

• The cache::load() function exists but is currently only used transitively via load_all() — produces a dead-code warning
• Edition 2024 requires Rust 1.85+; current toolchain is 1.93
