Inline comments:
In `@cmd/chat.go`:
- Around line 50-82: Add focused direct tests in cmd/chat_test.go for the chat
command’s RunE, covering experimental gating, agent.CheckEnabled behavior, and
complete flag-to-agent.ChatOptions mapping; add cmd/run_test.go for run’s RunE,
specifically verifying exit-code handling. Cover both successful and relevant
failure paths while isolating command dependencies.
In `@cmd/run.go`:
- Around line 24-30: Update the run command’s option definitions and
output-selection logic to add a unified --json flag and automatically select
parseable JSON output when os.Stdout is not a TTY. Integrate this behavior with
the existing runResultJSON and runUsageJSON paths so explicit flags remain
supported while machine consumers receive JSON by default.
- Around line 46-50: Update the run command help examples in the command
definition near the Examples block to use valid long-form flags with double
hyphens: replace each single-hyphen option for experimental, prompt,
prompt-file, model, and result-json while preserving the example arguments and
behavior.
In `@go.mod`:
- Line 90: Remove the absolute local replacement from go.mod for
github.com/Facets-cloud/praxis-harness. Use a published harness module version,
and place any local development override in a developer-only go.work file, or
use a portable relative replacement with the required CI checkout configuration.
In `@internal/agent/agent_test.go`:
- Around line 8-11: Update the environment setup and cleanup in
TestEnabledDefaultOff and the similarly structured test blocks to preserve
whether experimentalEnvVar was originally unset. Use t.Setenv for value-based
cases, and use os.LookupEnv when saving the prior state so cleanup calls
os.Unsetenv if it was absent, otherwise restores its original value.
- Around line 43-46: Strengthen the error assertion in the CheckEnabled test by
verifying the expected disabled-state error type or exact message, using
errors.Is, errors.As, or a precise message comparison. Keep the existing nil
check behavior while asserting the returned error matches the documented
contract.
- Around line 99-124: Strengthen the test’s ToNativeArgs assertions by
validating each flag’s associated value and the -no-mcp boolean semantics, not
merely flag presence. Check the expected prompt, model, cwd, and max-turns
values using the generated argument ordering or per-flag lookup, while
preserving coverage that -no-mcp is emitted with the correct behavior.
In `@internal/agent/agent.go`:
- Around line 18-20: Update the praxis-harness replace directive in go.mod to
use a repository-relative path or a published module version instead of the
developer-local absolute path, so the internal/agent package builds consistently
across environments.

…tal flag Adds praxis-harness as a Go module dependency and exposes two new cobra commands gated behind PRAXIS_EXPERIMENTAL=1 or --experimental: - praxis chat: interactive Bubble Tea TUI coding agent (tui.Run) - praxis run: headless one-shot runner (native.Run) The bridge lives in internal/agent/ — the single import boundary between praxis-cli's cobra world and praxis-harness's SDK. It maps cobra flags to the harness's tui.Config (via ParseFlags) and native.Run (via argv), keeping the two repos decoupled. Auth is two-layer and stays separate: control-plane credentials (~/.praxis/credentials) for CLI gateway calls, LLM provider credentials (~/.praxis/agent/auth.json) for the agent. The TUI's /login handles provider auth. Changes: - go.mod: Go 1.25, praxis-harness dep (local replace for dev) - internal/agent/: bridge package (ChatOptions, HeadlessArgs, flag mapping) - cmd/chat.go: praxis chat cobra command with --experimental gate - cmd/run.go: praxis run cobra command with --experimental gate - .github/workflows: Go 1.25 in CI + release - 10 unit tests for the bridge (flag mapping, experimental gate, logo) Verified: go build, go vet, gofmt, 527 tests pass.
Switches from SSH deploy key to a fine-grained PAT (CI_GITHUB_TOKEN secret) for private module access. Simpler setup — no SSH keys to manage. All three workflows (ci build, goreleaser-check, release) now: 1. Set GOPRIVATE + GONOSUMDB for Facets-cloud/* 2. Configure git insteadOf to embed the PAT in HTTPS URLs go.mod: replace directive removed; requires praxis-harness v0.1.0.
- Fix single-dash flag examples in help text to double-dash (--prompt etc.) - Use t.Setenv instead of manual os.Getenv/Setenv cleanup (preserves original unset state, auto-restores on test completion) - Assert errors.Is(err, ErrExperimentalDisabled) not just nil check - Strengthen HeadlessArgs.ToNativeArgs test to verify flag values not just presence - go.mod replace directive already removed in prior commit (now v0.1.0)
…harness v0.1.1 praxis-cli has its own 'praxis agents' command (lists installed agent files; called with --json by skills praxis installs into AI hosts), so the harness session dashboard cannot share that verb. Expose it as a start view of the agent command instead: 'praxis chat --agents'. internal/agent.ChatOptions.AgentsView emits a LEADING positional 'agents' into tui.ParseFlags, which only honors it as args[0] — any other position and the TUI silently opens a normal chat session. MarkFlagsMutuallyExclusive rejects --agents combined with --prompt / --resume / --session-id, since tui.loadDashboardApplication clears exactly those per row. Bump praxis-harness v0.1.0 -> v0.1.1 for the dashboard fixes that make this flag usable: multiline/ANSI/OSC session titles are flattened and sanitized at the label source, the dashboard body is clamped to its reserved height in physical lines (composer stays visible), and header counts share one partition with the group headers.
Move the embedded agent from praxis-harness v0.1.1 to v0.5.4 (on top of a rebase onto main), then close the gap between what the harness can do and what praxis could actually reach. New `praxis agent` group, experimental-gated like chat/run, forwarding argv to the runtime verbatim so its flags cannot drift out of sync: plugin, mcp, slack, sessions, skills, acp, sdk. It is deliberately distinct from `praxis agents`, which lists installed agent files; both help texts say so and a test asserts it. Flag parity: `praxis run` gained the runtime's containment, budget, prompt-shaping and output-schema flags; `praxis chat` gained --extension/--go-provider/--add-dir. Both accept `--` passthrough, so a runtime flag newer than this build stays usable without a release. Integration fixes found while wiring it up: - main() routes the process-sandbox child dialect (`praxis … -sandbox-child`) straight to the native runner, which cobra cannot parse; --sandbox process now defaults -sandbox-exec to this binary, since the harness only looks for a sibling/PATH prx or praxis-native. - The harness's own release banner is suppressed in-process: praxis-cli owns its update path (praxis update / the Homebrew cask). - `praxis version` reports the embedded harness release, read from the module graph rather than a linker stamp. - The experimental gate error prints once instead of twice.
- `praxis run` selects JSON when stdout is not a TTY, per this CLI's machine-caller contract, with --json to force it and --json=false to opt out. -result-json also silences the runtime's streaming feed, so a piped caller gets one JSON object rather than prose followed by JSON; --usage-json is left alone, being parseable already. - `--agents` conflicts are judged on the flag VALUE, not on whether it was passed: cobra's MarkFlagsMutuallyExclusive rejected an explicit `--agents=false --prompt …`, which is a plain single-session run. - The sandbox-child shim matches the harness's actual child shape (-sandbox-child AND -result-json), so a mistyped human invocation stays on the cobra path and gets a real error. Documented why the experimental gate cannot travel to that child: the harness rebuilds the child environment from PATH, LANG and the provider key alone. - Tests for all three, plus the run/agent command surfaces.
Both markers arriving through the `--` passthrough — `praxis run … -- -sandbox-child -result-json` — used to reroute the whole invocation into the native runner, skipping cobra and with it the experimental gate. Routing now also requires argv[1] to be a flag: the harness's child command line is bare flags from its first argument on, while a praxis command line always starts with a subcommand. Regression tests cover the passthrough, chat and agent forms of a user-typed both-marker invocation.
…ofile main now gives every command a persistent -p/--profile for the credentials profile. A local flag of the same name REPLACES the inherited one, shorthand included, so `praxis chat -p acme` and `praxis run -p acme` failed with "unknown shorthand flag: 'p'" while every other command accepted it. The agent runtime's settings/state profile is spelled --agent-profile, and each command has a test asserting the global flag still parses. Command tests now reset rootProfile between runs: a case that passes -p otherwise pins the whole package to that credentials profile, which reroutes later profile-resolution tests.

Summary
Embeds the praxis-harness coding agent in praxis-cli as a Go module dependency, pinned at v0.5.4, and exposes the surface it has grown since v0.1.x. Everything is gated behind
PRAXIS_EXPERIMENTAL=1or--experimentaland off by default.Rebased onto
main(the branch was 8 commits behind with go.mod/go.sum conflicts) and moved the pin from v0.1.1 → v0.5.4 — four minors of harness work: plugins, the MCP manager, the session dashboard, the skill-usage report, the Slack persona, and the ACP/SDK servers.Commands
praxis agent(the local runtime) is deliberately distinct from the existingpraxis agents(which lists installed agent files). Both help texts say so, and a test asserts it.Design: passthrough over modelling
The bridge is built so a harness release cannot strand praxis users:
ExtraArgs, appended last so it overrides modelled flags —praxis run --prompt … -- -reflex-capture trueworks with flags this build has never heard of;agentsubcommands disable flag parsing and forward argv verbatim, so their flags cannot drift out of sync with the runtime;runnow models the runtime's containment (--sandbox,--add-dir,--permission-rule,--safe-mode,--allow-home, egress), budget (--max-output-tokens,--max-time,--max-token-budget), prompt-shaping (--system-prompt,--append-system-prompt,--personality,--output-style,--extension,--config,--hook) and output-schema flags;chatgains--extension/--go-provider/--add-dir(repeatable, because a path may contain a comma).Integration fixes found while wiring it up

Filed as Facets-cloud/praxis-harness#113, both rooted in the process-sandbox child contract assuming the host binary is
prx:praxis chatcannot use the process sandbox.tui.ParseFlagshas no-sandbox-execequivalent, so a TUI session configured for process isolation still looks forprx/praxis-nativeon PATH. Headlesspraxis run --sandbox processis unaffected (it points the runtime at this binary).sandboxChildEnvironmentrebuilds the child environment fromPATH,LANGand the provider key alone, andchildArgsis built by the same function — so a host has neither an env nor an argv channel to prove the re-exec came from its own gated parent. That is why routing keys on the child command shape here; enforcingCheckEnabled()on that path would break--sandbox processevery time without adding a boundary.
