Summary

  • Resolve bare baml toolchain install from the nearest project pin, or canary when unpinned.
  • Use clap for wrapper-owned toolchain and self-update commands; forward other commands and flags unchanged to baml-cli.
  • Show wrapper help/version and forward --help or --version to the selected CLI. Prefer a local CLI for informational commands when the managed one is missing.
  • Auto-install a missing selected managed CLI. If resolution or installation fails, warn and fall back to a runnable local baml-cli when one exists.
  • Add end-to-end coverage for help, version, pass-through, pinned-version install attempts, fail-open fallback, and unpinned canary first use.

Behavior notes

With a valid installed channel CLI, ordinary commands continue using the locally active concrete version. The optional 24-hour background freshness check can update metadata and warn but cannot activate a release. Missing-CLI repair is distinct: it may resolve and activate a channel version using the 24-hour manifest cache policy. toolchain update still forces a fresh remote lookup for the global default channel.

The companion behavior notes are in the local thoughts workspace at sam-projects/releases-v2/00-behavior.md; that directory is outside this repository and is not part of this PR.

Validation

  • cargo test -p baml
  • cargo clippy -p baml --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • cargo build from baml_language/
  • git diff --check

Fixes B-1510.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • The BAML wrapper now provides help and version information from the selected CLI and forwards external commands and their arguments.
    • Toolchain install and update commands provide a success message when installation completes.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Commands can fall back to a locally available CLI when the selected toolchain cannot be resolved or installed.
    • Help and version requests still succeed when CLI lookup or execution fails.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The wrapper now uses Clap to parse commands and dispatch toolchain operations. It forwards help and version requests to the selected CLI. Managed and local CLI resolution share a runner with fallback and freshness handling. End-to-end tests cover wrapper forwarding, fallback, and toolchain installation behavior.

Changes

BAML wrapper CLI and toolchain behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Command parsing and dispatch
baml_language/crates/baml/Cargo.toml, baml_language/crates/baml/src/main.rs
Clap-derived declarations replace manual argument parsing and help text. Parsed commands dispatch toolchain and self-update operations or forward external commands. Help and version requests are forwarded to the selected CLI.
CLI resolution and execution
baml_language/crates/baml/src/main.rs
CLI resolution carries the selected path, managed version, and selector. It checks managed installations and can fall back to an adjacent or PATH-found local CLI. Managed and local CLI execution use a shared runner.
Install behavior and end-to-end validation
baml_language/crates/baml/src/main.rs, baml_language/crates/baml/tests/*_e2e.rs
Install success messages are conditional on an announcement parameter, which the shown install and update call sites enable. End-to-end tests cover command forwarding, fallback, install help and manifest behavior, selector resolution, and active channel state.

P1 Badge Record the channel resolution for bare pinned installs

When the nearest baml.toml pins [toolchain] channel = "canary" or "nightly" and BAML_HOME has no existing channel state, this passes activate_channel = false. The artifact is downloaded, but install_toolchain_with_policy therefore never records its concrete version in State.channels; the next normal command fails in concrete_version_for_selector_with_base with “no active concrete version is recorded locally.” A bare install from a project channel pin must persist that channel resolution while still leaving the global default unchanged.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
