Ashwin Bhat 49cfcf8107 refactor: remove CLI path, use Agent SDK exclusively (#849)
* refactor: remove CLI path, use Agent SDK exclusively

- Remove CLI-based Claude execution in favor of Agent SDK
- Delete prepareRunConfig, parseAndSetSessionId, parseAndSetStructuredOutputs functions
- Remove named pipe IPC and sanitizeJsonOutput helper
- Remove test-agent-sdk job from test-base-action workflow (SDK is now default)
- Delete run-claude.test.ts and structured-output.test.ts (testing removed CLI code)
- Update CLAUDE.md to remove named pipe references

# Plan: Remove Non-Agent SDK Code Path

## Overview
Since `use_agent_sdk` defaults to `true`, remove the legacy CLI code path entirely from `base-action/src/run-claude.ts`.

## Files to Modify

### 1. `base-action/src/run-claude.ts` - Main Cleanup

**Remove imports:**
- `exec` from `child_process`
- `promisify` from `util`
- `unlink`, `writeFile`, `stat` from `fs/promises` (keep `readFile` - check if needed)
- `createWriteStream` from `fs`
- `spawn` from `child_process`
- `parseShellArgs` from `shell-quote` (still used in `parse-sdk-options.ts`, keep package)

**Remove constants:**
- `execAsync`
- `PIPE_PATH`
- `EXECUTION_FILE` (defined in both files, keep in SDK file)
- `BASE_ARGS`

**Remove types:**
- `PreparedConfig` type (lines 85-89) - only used by `prepareRunConfig()`

**Remove functions:**
- `sanitizeJsonOutput()` (lines 21-68)
- `prepareRunConfig()` (lines 91-125) - also remove export
- `parseAndSetSessionId()` (lines 131-155) - also remove export
- `parseAndSetStructuredOutputs()` (lines 162-197) - also remove export

**Simplify `runClaude()`:**
- Remove `useAgentSdk` flag check and logging (lines 200-204)
- Remove the `if (useAgentSdk)` block, make SDK call direct
- Remove entire CLI path (lines 211-438)
- Resulting function becomes just:
  ```typescript
  export async function runClaude(promptPath: string, options: ClaudeOptions) {
    const parsedOptions = parseSdkOptions(options);
    return runClaudeWithSdk(promptPath, parsedOptions);
  }
  ```

### 2. Delete Test Files

**`base-action/test/run-claude.test.ts`:**
- Delete entire file (only tests `prepareRunConfig()`)

**`base-action/test/structured-output.test.ts`:**
- Delete entire file (only tests `parseAndSetStructuredOutputs()` and `parseAndSetSessionId()`)

### 3. Workflow Update

**`.github/workflows/test-base-action.yml`:**
- Remove `test-agent-sdk` job (lines 120-176) - redundant now

### 4. Documentation Update

**`base-action/CLAUDE.md`:**
- Line 30: Remove "- Named pipes for IPC between prompt input and Claude process"
- Line 57: Remove "- Uses `mkfifo` to create named pipes for prompt input"

## Verification
1. Run `bun run typecheck` to ensure no type errors
2. Run `bun test` to ensure remaining tests pass
3. Run `bun run format` to fix any formatting issues
</claude-plan>

* fix: address PR review comments

- Add session_id output handling in run-claude-sdk.ts (critical)
- Remove unused claudeEnv parameter from ClaudeOptions and index.ts
- Update stale CLI path comment in parse-sdk-options.ts

Common Commands

Development Commands

  • Build/Type check: bun run typecheck
  • Format code: bun run format
  • Check formatting: bun run format:check
  • Run tests: bun test
  • Install dependencies: bun install

Action Testing

  • Test action locally: ./test-local.sh
  • Test specific file: bun test test/prepare-prompt.test.ts

Architecture Overview

This is a GitHub Action that allows running Claude Code within GitHub workflows. The action consists of:

Core Components

  1. Action Definition (action.yml): Defines inputs, outputs, and the composite action steps
  2. Prompt Preparation (src/index.ts): Runs Claude Code with specified arguments

Key Design Patterns

  • Uses Bun runtime for development and execution
  • JSON streaming output format for execution logs
  • Composite action pattern to orchestrate multiple steps
  • Provider-agnostic design supporting Anthropic API, AWS Bedrock, and Google Vertex AI

Provider Authentication

  1. Anthropic API (default): Requires API key via anthropic_api_key input
  2. AWS Bedrock: Uses OIDC authentication when use_bedrock: true
  3. Google Vertex AI: Uses OIDC authentication when use_vertex: true

Testing Strategy

Local Testing

  • Use act tool to run GitHub Actions workflows locally
  • test-local.sh script automates local testing setup
  • Requires ANTHROPIC_API_KEY environment variable

Test Structure

  • Unit tests for configuration logic
  • Integration tests for prompt preparation
  • Full workflow tests in .github/workflows/test-base-action.yml

Important Technical Details

  • Outputs execution logs as JSON to /tmp/claude-execution-output.json
  • Timeout enforcement via timeout command wrapper
  • Strict TypeScript configuration with Bun-specific settings
