+ origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
143
+
144
+ 7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or

-
12
- This release line is published under npm's `legacy` tag. `photon update` and

- ## Install
18
-
19
- ### One-off — no install
20
-
21
- ```sh
22
- npx @photon-ai/cli@legacy login
23
- npx @photon-ai/cli@legacy projects ls
24
- yarn dlx --package @photon-ai/cli@legacy photon login
25
- ```
26
-
27
- Each invocation pulls the requested release on demand. Good for scripts,
28
- throwaway machines, or trying the CLI before committing. Works with `npx`,
29
- `pnpx`, `bunx`, or `yarn dlx`.
30
-
31
- ### Global install
32
-
33
- ```sh
34
- npm install -g @photon-ai/cli@legacy
35
- photon login
36
- ```
37
-
38
- After install, both `photon` and the shorter `pho` alias are on your `PATH`.
39
-
40
- Also works with other package managers (Yarn global installs require Yarn
41
- Classic 1.x):
42
-
43
- ```sh
44
- pnpm add -g @photon-ai/cli@legacy
45
- yarn global add @photon-ai/cli@legacy
46
- bun add -g @photon-ai/cli@legacy
47
- ```
48
-
49
- ### Standalone binary
50
-
51
- For CI environments or systems where you don't want any runtime. Replace `<version>` with the version on npm's `legacy` tag (`npm view @photon-ai/cli@legacy version`), and `<os>` and `<arch>` with your platform:
52
-
53
- ```sh
54
- # <os>: darwin | linux <arch>: arm64 | x64
55
- curl -L -o /usr/local/bin/photon \
56
- https://github.com/photon-hq/cli/releases/download/v<version>/photon-<os>-<arch>
57
- chmod +x /usr/local/bin/photon
58
- photon --version
59
- ```
60
-
61
- Available for macOS (arm64 / x64) and Linux (x64 / arm64). Each binary ships with a corresponding `.sha256` checksum on the same release page.
62
-
63
- ---
64
-
65
- ## Update
66
-
67
- The CLI shows a notification when a newer release is on npm's `legacy` tag. It can detect
68
- global npm, pnpm, Yarn Classic, and Bun installs, and securely replace standalone
69
- binaries after verifying the published SHA-256 checksum:
70
-
71
- ```sh
72
- photon update
73
- photon update --check # check without installing
74
- photon update --force # reinstall even when already current
75
- photon update --check --json # machine-readable check result
76
- ```
77
-
78
- `--json` also works during an installation. `--force` cannot be combined with
79
- `--check`.
7
+ Install it and get started with the [CLI guide](https://photon.codes/docs/cli).
80
8
 
81
- If automatic detection is ambiguous, choose the installer explicitly:
9
+ This repository holds the CLI's source as published with each release. Changes
10
+ are made in Photon's private repository and reach this one with the next
11
+ release, so pull requests aren't accepted here; see
12
+ [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md).
82
13
 
83
- ```sh
84
- photon update --installer npm # npm | pnpm | yarn | bun
85
- ```
14
+ ## Photon CLI 1.0
86
15
 
87
- You can also update directly with the package manager you originally used:
16
+ Photon CLI 1.0 is the previous CLI, published as `@photon-ai/cli` versions
17
+ 2.x. Its source lives on the
18
+ [`legacy`](https://github.com/photon-hq/cli/tree/legacy) branch. To install
19
+ it:
88
20
 
89
21
  ```sh
90
- npm install -g @photon-ai/cli@legacy
91
- photon --version
22
+ npm i -g @photon-ai/cli@legacy
92
23
  ```
93
24
 
94
- Or with other package managers:
95
-
96
- ```sh
97
- pnpm add -g @photon-ai/cli@legacy
98
- yarn global add @photon-ai/cli@legacy
99
- bun add -g @photon-ai/cli@legacy
100
- ```
101
-
102
- If you're using a standalone binary, re-download the release that
103
- `photon update --check` names:
104
-
105
- ```sh
106
- curl -L -o /usr/local/bin/photon \
107
- https://github.com/photon-hq/cli/releases/download/v<version>/photon-<os>-<arch>
108
- chmod +x /usr/local/bin/photon
109
- ```
110
-
111
- `npx` / `pnpx` / `bunx` users can request `@photon-ai/cli@legacy` directly.
112
- Yarn 2+ users can run
113
- `yarn dlx --package @photon-ai/cli@legacy photon`, so no self-update is needed.
114
- If a Yarn 2+ project lists Photon as a local dependency, update it from that
115
- project with `yarn up @photon-ai/cli@legacy`.
116
-
117
- To suppress the update notification, set `PHOTON_NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER=1`.
118
-

120
-
121
- ## Quickstart
122
-
123
- ```sh
124
- # 1. Log in (opens a browser to approve the device)
125
- photon login
126
-
127
- # 2. Pick a project for this shell session
128
- photon projects ls
129
- export PHOTON_PROJECT_ID=<project-id>
130
-
131
- # 3. Off you go
132
- photon projects show
133
- photon spectrum users ls
134
- photon billing show
135
- ```
136
-
137
- ### The `pho` alias
138
-
139
- `pho` is a shortcut for `photon`, useful for high-frequency commands. Every global install (npm / pnpm / yarn / bun) wires up both `photon` and `pho` automatically — they're declared as sibling `bin` entries that point at the same binary, so no setup is needed:
140
-
141
- ```sh
142
- pho projects ls # same as: photon projects ls
143
- pho whoami # same as: photon whoami
144
- ```
145
-
146
- `pho` is a drop-in alias — it accepts the exact same commands and flags as `photon`, just fewer keystrokes to type. There's no top-level `ls` shortcut; list projects with the full `projects ls` path (`pho projects ls`).
147
-
148
- For `npx` / `bunx`, the package name itself is what you type, so `npx @photon-ai/cli` runs `photon` (the first declared bin). To run `pho` explicitly through `npx`, use `npx --package=@photon-ai/cli pho`.
149
-
150
- ---
151
-
152
- ## Use with AI agents
153
-
154
- There's a `photon-cli` [Agent Skill](https://skills.sh/) that teaches AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, OpenCode, and [25+ others](https://skills.sh/)) how to drive this CLI — the login flow, project bootstrapping, billing/upgrades, Spectrum resources, and config/environment resolution. Install it from [`photon-hq/skills`](https://github.com/photon-hq/skills):
155
-
156
- ```sh
157
- npx skills add photon-hq/skills --skill photon-cli
158
- ```
159
-
160
- Once installed, supported agents pick it up automatically — try *"log in to Photon, create a project, and tell me its id and secret"* or *"how many Spectrum lines does my project have, and how do I upgrade it to a business line?"*
161
-
162
- The same collection ships skills for Photon's other SDKs — [`imessage`](https://github.com/photon-hq/skills/tree/main/skills/imessage), [`spectrum`](https://github.com/photon-hq/skills/tree/main/skills/spectrum), [`chat-adapter-imessage`](https://github.com/photon-hq/skills/tree/main/skills/chat-adapter-imessage), and [`buildspace-ci-cd`](https://github.com/photon-hq/skills/tree/main/skills/buildspace-ci-cd). Browse them all at [photon-hq/skills](https://github.com/photon-hq/skills).

166
- ## Concepts
167
-
168
- ### Backend host
169
-
170
- Every command talks to a backend URL. The default — and the only URL baked into the public bundle — is production (`https://app.photon.codes`). To target any other backend (your own deployment, a staging environment, a local dev server), set `PHOTON_API_HOST`:
171
-
172
- ```sh
173
- export PHOTON_API_HOST=https://your.backend.tld
174
- photon login
175
- photon projects ls
176
-
177
- # Or one-off, per command:
178
- photon projects ls --api-host https://your.backend.tld
179
-
180
- # Or inline:
181
- PHOTON_API_HOST=https://your.backend.tld photon projects ls
182
- ```
183
-
184
- Resolution order: `--api-host <url>` flag → `PHOTON_API_HOST` env var → built-in production.
185
-
186
- `photon env current` prints the resolved host:
187
-
188
- ```sh
189
- $ photon env current
190
- production (https://app.photon.codes)
191
- $ PHOTON_API_HOST=http://localhost:3000 photon env current
192
- localhost_3000 (http://localhost:3000)
193
- ```
194
-
195
- Credentials are stored **per host** (`$PHOTON_CONFIG_DIR/credentials/<key>.json` by default — see [config dir](#config-dir) below — mode 600), so you can be logged into multiple backends simultaneously. The `<key>` is derived from the URL — production keeps the literal name `production` for back-compat; other hosts get a sanitized hostname where `.`, `:`, and `%` are replaced with `_` (e.g. `staging-app_photon_codes`, `localhost_3000`). The `_` substitution avoids collisions between distinct hosts like `a-b.com` and `a.b-com`.
196
-
197
- ### Setting an active project
198
-
199
- Most commands operate on a single project. Two ways to specify it:
200
-
201
- ```sh
202
- # Per command — explicit, scoped to one invocation
203
- photon spectrum users ls --project abc123
204
-
205
- # Per shell — set once, applies to every photon invocation in this shell
206
- export PHOTON_PROJECT_ID='abc123'
207
- photon spectrum users ls
208
- photon projects show
209
- ```
210
-
211
- Resolution order: `--project <id>` flag → `$PHOTON_PROJECT_ID` → friendly error.
212
-
213
- Put `export PHOTON_PROJECT_ID='…'` in your shell rc, or use [`direnv`](https://direnv.net/) to scope it to a directory. Agents and scripts should pass `--project <id>` explicitly per call (or set the env var on the spawn).
214
-
215
- **Multi-backend note.** `$PHOTON_PROJECT_ID` is shell-global and single-valued. If you switch `PHOTON_API_HOST` between backends in the same shell, prefer `--project <id>` for the off-default calls, or use a separate shell per backend.
216
-
217
- ### CI / scripting
218
-
219
- Authenticate once locally, copy the token from your credentials file (under `$PHOTON_CONFIG_DIR/credentials/<key>.json`), and use it in CI:
220
-
221
- ```sh
222
- photon projects ls --token "$PHOTON_TOKEN"
223
- # or
224
- PHOTON_TOKEN=… photon projects ls
225
- ```
226
-
227
- Pair with `--json` for machine-readable output:
228
-
229
- ```sh
230
- photon projects ls --json | jq '.[] | .id'
231
- photon billing show --json
232
- ```
233
-
234
- `PHOTON_TOKEN` reuses the same access token issued by the device flow (default 7d expiry — re-run `photon login` when it expires). A long-lived API-key path is on the roadmap.

- ## Flags
278
-
279
- Only `--debug` is truly **program-level** (works in any position). Every other flag is **per-command** and must come after the subcommand:
280
-
281
- ```sh
282
- photon --debug projects ls --api-host https://x.tld --json # ✓ --debug global, others per-cmd
283
- photon --api-host https://x.tld projects ls # ✗ won't work (--api-host is per-cmd)
284
- ```
285
-
286
- | Flag | Env var | Scope | Effect |
287
- |---|---|---|---|
288
- | `--debug` | `PHOTON_DEBUG=1` | program | verbose HTTP logs to stderr |
289
- | `--api-host <url>` | `PHOTON_API_HOST` | per-cmd | override the backend URL |
290
- | `-p, --project <id>` | `PHOTON_PROJECT_ID` | per-cmd | project id for this command; defaults to `$PHOTON_PROJECT_ID` |
291
- | `-t, --token <token>` | `PHOTON_TOKEN` | per-cmd | bypass stored creds (CI) |
292
- | `--json` | — | per-cmd | structured output (opt-in) |
293
- | `--yes`, `-y` | — | per-cmd | skip destructive-action confirmation |
294
- | `--no-browser` | — | per-cmd | don't auto-open browser (login, billing, projects open) |
295
- | `--no-color` | `NO_COLOR=1`, `PHOTON_NO_COLOR=1` | program (env-driven) | disable colors (NO_COLOR standard) |
296

297
- ### config dir
298
-
299
- The CLI's config root is resolved in this order:
300
-
301
- 1. `$PHOTON_CONFIG_DIR` (explicit override)
302
- 2. `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/photon` (XDG standard)
303
- 3. `~/.config/photon/` (default)
304
-
305
- If a legacy `~/.config/photon-dashboard/` directory exists from a prior pre-rename install, it migrates automatically to the new path on first run.
306
-
307
- Other env vars: `PHOTON_NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER=1` (mute update prompt).

- ## Development
312
-
313
- ```sh
314
- git clone https://github.com/photon-hq/cli
315
- cd cli
316
- bun install
317
-
318
- # Run from source
319
- bun run src/index.ts --help
320
-
321
- # Watch
322
- bun run dev
323
-
324
- # Typecheck
325
- bun run typecheck
326
-
327
- # Build (produces dist/photon.js)
328
- bun run build
329
- ```
330
-
331
- The CLI's API contract comes from the [`@photon-ai/dashboard-api`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@photon-ai/dashboard-api) package, a types-only bundle of the dashboard's public API (the `PublicApp` Elysia type, used with `@elysiajs/eden` treaty). To pick up dashboard API changes, bump that dependency — its version tracks the dashboard release tag.

337
- ## Releases
338
-
339
- Every push to `main` runs the [Release workflow](.github/workflows/release.yaml) to verify and publish a staging candidate through the pinned [Buildspace package workflows](https://github.com/photon-hq/buildspace/tree/c1fb06e4ae457a8e053642a914bd37b8f5ce9e1b/.github/workflows). Manual dispatch defaults to `dry-run`, which verifies and packs without publishing or creating tags or Releases. To release, dispatch `promote` from `main` with the staging version and obtain approval in the `production` environment; promotion publishes the stored candidate under npm's stable `latest` tag without rebuilding or committing a source version bump. A successful new promotion calls [`release-binaries.yaml`](.github/workflows/release-binaries.yaml) and [`docs-reference.yml`](.github/workflows/docs-reference.yml) with that exact stable version, and its `legacy-tag` job, after a second `production` approval, adds npm's `legacy` tag to the same version, which `photon update` and the update notification follow. It only moves `legacy` forward: if `legacy` already points at the same or a newer version, the job leaves it there. These jobs wait in a queue and run one at a time. If `legacy-tag` fails or its approval is rejected, use **Re-run failed jobs** on that run: a new `promote` dispatch finds the version already released and skips the job.

+ ## Issues and security
340
26
 
341
- The pack script builds each channel in a temporary copy with its release version, checks that the archive contains the declared package entry points and binaries, and runs the packed CLI's `--version`. The source manifest and lockfile stay unchanged.
27
+ Report bugs and request features in
28
+ [issues](https://github.com/photon-hq/cli/issues). Report security problems
29
+ privately, as [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) describes.

343
- Before the first npm publication, an npm administrator must [configure trusted publishing](https://docs.npmjs.com/trusted-publishers/) for `photon-hq/cli`, caller workflow `release.yaml`, and two environment-specific entries: `staging` and `production`, each allowing `npm publish` and `npm dist-tag`. Publishing uses GitHub OIDC; these workflows do not use `NPM_TOKEN`. Keep any legacy token until the first real promotion succeeds and no active legacy consumer or documented rollback needs it.

345
- The first staging run can create `staging` automatically. Before the first production promotion, a repository administrator must run the [Buildspace environment setup command](https://github.com/photon-hq/buildspace/blob/main/README.md#package-stage-and-promote). The command restricts both environments to `main` and requires at least one production reviewer, using CODEOWNERS by default; append `@USER` or `@ORG/TEAM` after the repository argument if CODEOWNERS supplies no reviewers. Without reviewers, the command exits before changing either environment. [Required reviewers in private repositories need GitHub Enterprise](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/how-tos/deploy/configure-and-manage-deployments/manage-environments). Production binary and documentation jobs also need the existing release and docs-app permissions.
