Replaced environment variable configuration with CLI flags and config.json support. Config options are parsed via CLI flags using parseArgs from node:util and loaded from config.json (or a custom path via --config / -c). CLI flags override config.json file settings. Updated tests, entrypoints, and documentation accordingly.

Summary by cubic

Replaces environment variable configuration with CLI flags and optional config.json. Old behavior read PORT, HOST, OPENCODE_URL, and EMBEDDINGS_* from env; new behavior parses flags and/or config.json, with flags taking precedence. Environment variables are no longer used.

  • Flags: --host, --port, --opencode-url, --embeddings-model, --embeddings-preload, and -c/--config for a custom file. If no --config is provided, config.json is loaded when present.
  • Required migration: update run scripts and deployments to pass CLI flags or provide config.json; stop setting env vars for configuration.
  • Programmatic use: start()/boot() accept a config option as a Config, string[] of flags, or { args, configFilePath }. Otherwise, config is derived from process.argv and an optional config.json.
  • Validation and defaults: strict checks for port range, boolean parsing, and http(s) URLs; defaults remain host=127.0.0.1, port=8000, embeddingsModel=Xenova/bge-small-en-v1.5, embeddingsPreload=false. Unset opencodeUrl embeds an OpenCode server and closes it on stop.
  • Review focus: src/config.ts flag/file parsing with node:util parseArgs, precedence rules, and error messages; src/main.ts start()/boot() config plumbing; tests and README updated.

Written for commit bf921a4. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

- Refactor loadConfig in src/config.ts to parse CLI flags using node:util parseArgs and load config.json (or custom --config file).
- Ensure CLI flags take precedence over config.json file values, with sensible default fallbacks.
- Remove environment variable loading (process.env) for configuration.
- Update src/main.ts to support passing CLI arguments or config options into start/boot.
- Update test suites and README.md to reflect the CLI flags and config.json configuration mechanism.

Review Change Stack

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added configuration support through command-line options and config.json.
    • Added clear precedence: command-line values override file settings, which override defaults.
    • Added support for documented configuration options, defaults, validation, and flexible key naming.
    • Added contextual errors for unreadable or invalid configuration files.
  • Documentation

    • Added setup guidance, supported options, precedence rules, defaults, and an example configuration file to the README.

Walkthrough

Configuration now loads from CLI arguments or JSON files with defined precedence and validation. Startup accepts loaded configuration or loading options. Unit and integration tests no longer configure the application through environment variables.

Changes

Configuration and startup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration loading and validation
src/config.ts, src/config.test.ts, README.md
loadConfig supports CLI flags, JSON files, defaults, precedence rules, validation, and camelCase or snake_case file keys. Documentation and tests cover these behaviors.
Startup configuration injection
src/main.ts, src/main.test.ts
start accepts Config, LoadConfigOptions, or argument arrays. Startup tests pass configuration explicitly and retain server and embeddings cleanup coverage.
Entrypoint and embedded-server coverage
test/e2e/*
E2E tests pass startup values through CLI arguments or configuration objects instead of environment variables.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bf921

The PR currently has a reported duplicate declaration that may prevent an updated E2E test module from loading, and empty port values can be interpreted as port 0 instead of rejected. Merge should wait for the test-loading issue to be fixed or explicitly accepted, with port validation corrected as follow-up.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject empty port strings before numeric conversion.

Number(rawPort.trim()) converts "" and whitespace-only strings to 0. Therefore --port "" and { "port": " " } select an ephemeral port instead of failing validation. Reject an empty trimmed string before conversion. Add CLI and JSON-file test cases.

Proposed fix
-    const numPort =
+    const portText = typeof rawPort === "string" ? rawPort.trim() : undefined;
+    const numPort =
       typeof rawPort === "number"
         ? rawPort
-        : typeof rawPort === "string"
-          ? Number(rawPort.trim())
+        : portText
+          ? Number(portText)
           : NaN;
