# cli-anything-freecad

Complete CLI harness for **FreeCAD** — 258 commands across 17 groups covering ALL workbenches.

## Prerequisites

FreeCAD must be installed: `freecadcmd` must be in PATH.

## Installation

```bash
pip install -e freecad/agent-harness
```

## Basic Usage

```bash
cli-anything-freecad --json <command>           # JSON output for agents
cli-anything-freecad --json -p proj.json <cmd>  # With project file
cli-anything-freecad                            # Interactive REPL
```

## Preview, Live Preview, and Motion

FreeCAD is currently the deepest preview integration in this branch.

Preview commands:

```bash
# List preview recipes
cli-anything-freecad --json -p proj.json preview recipes

# Capture a real 4-view bundle
cli-anything-freecad --json -p proj.json preview capture --recipe quick

# Start poll-mode live preview
cli-anything-freecad --json -p proj.json preview live start --recipe quick --mode poll --source-poll-ms 500

# Query current live state without rendering
cli-anything-freecad --json -p proj.json preview live status --recipe quick

# Stop live preview publication
cli-anything-freecad --json -p proj.json preview live stop --recipe quick
```

Typical `quick` bundle artifacts:

- `hero.png`
- `front.png`
- `top.png`
- `right.png`

Live preview persists:

- `session.json`
- immutable bundle directories
- `trajectory.json`

`preview live status --json` is intended for agents and includes a compact
`trajectory_summary` in addition to `_session_dir`, current bundle refs, and
`_trajectory_path`.

Viewer commands:

```bash
cli-hub previews inspect /path/to/bundle-or-session
cli-hub previews html /path/to/bundle-or-session -o page.html
cli-hub previews watch /path/to/session --open
cli-hub previews open /path/to/bundle-or-session
```

Motion commands remain separate from preview and are used for final truthful
frame rendering and showcase videos:

```bash
cli-anything-freecad --json -p proj.json motion new --name spin --duration 6 --fps 24
cli-anything-freecad --json -p proj.json motion keyframe spin --time 0.0 --part 0 --position 0,0,0
cli-anything-freecad --json -p proj.json motion render-video spin output.mp4
```

## JSON Output

All commands support `--json`. Responses include structured data. Errors: `{"error": "message"}`.

## Error Handling

- Missing FreeCAD: Clear install instructions
- Invalid types: Lists valid options
- Index out of range: Reports valid range
- File exists: Use `--overwrite`

## Agent Preview Notes

- Use `preview capture --json` whenever geometric changes need visual verification.
- Use `preview live start` for iterative build loops; prefer poll mode when the
  project file is being saved repeatedly.
- Use `preview live status --json` as the cheap status probe before reading the
  full `trajectory.json`.
- Treat `_bundle_dir` as a single snapshot only; the stable live identity is
  `_session_dir` plus `_trajectory_path`.
- Use `cli-hub previews ...` only to inspect/open already-published previews.
