# Remove Legacy CLJS CLI
## Problem
Logseq has one shipped CLI implementation under `cli/`, built from OCaml with
Dune, Melange, and Vite, but it still retains most of the superseded Shadow
ClojureScript implementation under `src/main/logseq/cli/` and its tests under
`src/test/logseq/cli/`.
The release migration deliberately removed the `:logseq-cli` Shadow build and
made `cli/_build/default/dist/logseq-cli.js` the only producer of the staged
`static/logseq-cli.js` artifact. `package.json`, CLI E2E preflight, npm package
preparation, and Desktop runtime staging all use that OCaml/Melange artifact.
`scripts/test-cli-release-config.mjs` rejects any active Shadow CLI build path.
The remaining legacy command tree has no production entry point. Repository-wide
namespace searches find no production consumer outside its own implementation.
It contains 31 production files and about 14,800 lines, while 26 dedicated test
files add about 16,800 more lines. Keeping this parallel implementation makes
search results, tests, and maintenance work describe a binary that users cannot
build or run.
Not every namespace under `src/main/logseq/cli/` is obsolete. Electron,
db-worker-node, and worker handlers still import shared daemon and transport
helpers. Those imports are part of the active runtime and must remain.
## Proposal
Delete only the legacy CLJS CLI closure that is unreachable from active
production builds:
- `src/main/logseq/cli/command/`;
- `src/main/logseq/cli/auth.cljs`;
- `src/main/logseq/cli/commands.cljs`;
- `src/main/logseq/cli/completion_generator.cljs`;
- `src/main/logseq/cli/config.cljs`;
- `src/main/logseq/cli/format.cljs`;
- `src/main/logseq/cli/humanize.cljs`;
- `src/main/logseq/cli/main.cljs`;
- `src/main/logseq/cli/output_mode.cljs`;
- `src/main/logseq/cli/tree_text.cljs`; and
- `src/main/logseq/cli/uuid_refs.cljs`.
Delete their implementation-specific CLJS tests:
- `src/test/logseq/cli/command/`;
- `src/test/logseq/cli/auth_test.cljs`;
- `src/test/logseq/cli/commands_test.cljs`;
- `src/test/logseq/cli/completion_generator_test.cljs`;
- `src/test/logseq/cli/config_test.cljs`;
- `src/test/logseq/cli/format_test.cljs`;
- `src/test/logseq/cli/main_test.cljs`;
- `src/test/logseq/cli/output_mode_test.cljs`; and
- `src/test/logseq/cli/uuid_refs_test.cljs`.
Retain the active CLJS runtime boundary and its tests:
- `logseq.cli.common` and `logseq.cli.common.db-worker`, used by Electron and
worker handlers;
- `logseq.cli.root-dir`, used by db-worker-node and worker logging;
- `logseq.cli.server`, used by Electron runtime management;
- `logseq.cli.transport`, used by Electron database access;
- `logseq.cli.style`, used by db-worker-node;
- `logseq.cli.log` and `logseq.cli.profile`, used transitively by the active
server and transport helpers; and
- `logseq.cli.test-helper`, which is also consumed by db-worker-node tests.
Keep the shared helpers in their existing namespace for this decision. Moving
them to a neutral namespace would add unrelated churn without reducing the
duplicate CLI implementation.
Update `docs/cli/logseq-cli.md` so its query example points to the shipped OCaml
implementation in `cli/lib/query.ml` instead of `logseq.cli.command.query`.
Preserve `static/logseq-cli.js` as a generated artifact of the existing
OCaml/Melange staging flow; it is not part of the source deletion.
## Alternatives considered
### Retain the CLJS implementation as a reference
Rejected because the OCaml implementation, its unit/parity tests, CLI E2E
manifests, and the public command reference already own shipped behavior. A
second non-buildable implementation is a stale source of truth rather than an
executable reference.
### Delete every `logseq.cli` namespace
Rejected because Electron, db-worker-node, and worker production code still
consume the daemon, root-directory, transport, formatting, and shared database
helpers listed in the proposal.
### Move the retained helpers before deleting the command tree
Rejected for this decision because namespace relocation changes many active
runtime imports but is not required to remove the parallel CLI. It can be
considered separately if the `logseq.cli` name remains confusing after the
obsolete implementation is gone.
## Acceptance criteria
- The 31 unreachable CLJS source files and 26 implementation-specific test
files listed by the proposal are removed.
- The eight active CLJS production namespaces and their focused tests remain,
and repository-wide namespace search still accounts for every Electron,
db-worker-node, worker, and test-helper consumer.
- `shadow-cljs.edn`, root build scripts, CLI E2E preflight, npm package
preparation, and Desktop staging continue to identify
`cli/_build/default/dist/logseq-cli.js` as the sole CLI producer.
- `docs/cli/logseq-cli.md` no longer points readers to a deleted CLJS command
namespace.
- `node scripts/test-cli-release-config.mjs` passes.
- `pnpm --dir cli test` passes.
- `bb -f cli-e2e/bb.edn test --skip-build` passes against freshly staged CLI
and db-worker-node artifacts.
- Focused CLJS tests for `logseq.cli.common`, `logseq.cli.common.db-worker`,
`logseq.cli.log`, `logseq.cli.profile`, `logseq.cli.root-dir`,
`logseq.cli.server`, `logseq.cli.style`, and `logseq.cli.transport` pass.
- `bb dev:lint-and-test` passes.
## Risks
- A developer may have used the old CLJS namespaces manually even though they
have no build, package, or documented public entry point. This decision
intentionally gives up that unsupported workflow.
- Removing duplicate CLJS tests reduces coverage of the deleted implementation.
Shipped CLI behavior remains covered by `cli/test/` and `cli-e2e/`; active
shared CLJS runtime tests remain in place.
- The retained helpers continue to use the `logseq.cli` namespace, so the name
will describe runtime infrastructure as well as the historical location of
the removed CLI. Renaming them is outside this simplification.
## Questions
- None.
