CLI reference

Stable release: 2026.11.04.05 · Stable channel: main · Development channel: dev

The installer creates /usr/local/bin/parity.check.plus as a symlink to the Plus PHP entry point. That command name participates in CLI-mode detection; invoking the PHP file directly is not identical.

parity.check.plus help
parity.check.plus status

Action	Behavior
help, --help	Show usage without an unrecognized-option error.
status	Report state through shared reconciliation helpers.
pause	Request pause; explicit CLI pause releases background resume ownership.
resume	Request resume through plugin checks.
analyze	Analyze eligible progress and update history.
check	Use the inherited scheduler-mode-selection path.
correct	Explicit correcting-check request when allowed.
nocorrect	Explicit non-correcting-check request when allowed.
cancel	Request cancellation.
start, stop	Request array start/stop on supported versions.
config	Log/reload configuration and regenerate schedules.
updatecron	Regenerate plugin cron entries.
defaults	Replace settings, reload defaults, and regenerate schedules.
partial	Start from saved assistant inputs after backend validation.

Operational effects

These entry points share lifecycle/history reconciliation. They are not a guarantee of side-effect-free inspection. Start, stop, cancel, and correcting commands have operational effects. Use explicit correct/nocorrect when reviewing the requested mode directly rather than inferring the inherited check selection.

View history through the GUI History control. The former unimplemented history CLI placeholder was removed from the command handler and help.

Testing-mode help

Testing mode exposes descriptions for additional maintenance actions. All 42 catalogs translate those descriptions; action names remain literal. Changing language must not change command syntax.

Missing command or version

Inspect the CLI symlink and runtime entry point after installation. Do not point the link at another plugin. For unknown version, inspect the runtime version file and installation evidence using troubleshooting.

Confirmed native transitions

check maps native write=NOCORRECT to a non-correcting request and an empty native write option to a correcting request; missing preference defaults to non-correcting. Full and partial starts require a started array and observed active operation. Failed pause/resume/cancel requests do not announce success. Successful CLI cancellation retains the original operation description.
