Updates the Claude log parser testing infrastructure to use the new mixed format logs instead of the legacy pure JSON array format.

Changes Made

  • Updated snapshot test: Modified pkg/workflow/log_parser_snapshot_test.go to use sample_claude_log_new_format.txt instead of the old format file
  • Generated new baseline: Updated the expected output baseline with cleaner, more structured markdown that better represents the new format's capabilities
  • Removed legacy file: Deleted pkg/workflow/test_data/sample_claude_log.txt (6,422 lines) as it's no longer needed

Format Comparison

Old format (pure JSON array):

[
  {"type": "system", "subtype": "init", ...},
  {"type": "assistant", "message": {...}},
  ...
]

New format (mixed debug logs + JSONL):

npm warn exec The following package was not found...
[DEBUG] Watching for changes in setting files...
[ERROR] Failed to save config with lock: Error: ENOENT...
{"type":"system","subtype":"init",...}
{"type":"assistant","message":{...}}

Benefits

The new format provides several advantages:

  1. Better debugging: Includes debug logs that help troubleshoot Claude execution issues
  2. Cleaner output: The parser generates more organized markdown with proper MCP tool call formatting
  3. Forward compatibility: The JavaScript parser already handles both formats gracefully with automatic detection

Parser Robustness

The existing JavaScript parser in pkg/workflow/js/parse_claude_log.cjs already includes robust format detection:

// First, try to parse as JSON array (old format)
try {
  logEntries = JSON.parse(logContent);
} catch (jsonArrayError) {
  // If that fails, try to parse as mixed format (debug logs + JSONL)
  logEntries = [];
  const lines = logContent.split("\n");
  for (const line of lines) {
    if (line.trim().startsWith("{")) {
      try {
        logEntries.push(JSON.parse(line.trim()));
      } catch (jsonLineError) {
        continue; // Skip invalid JSON lines
      }
    }
  }
}

Testing

All existing tests continue to pass, and the new format produces better structured output including:

  • ✅ MCP server connection status
  • ✅ Tool categorization (Core, File Operations, MCP, etc.)
  • ✅ Command execution status with clear indicators
  • ✅ Detailed cost and token usage metrics
  • ✅ Proper session information display

The change maintains full backward compatibility while moving to the more informative format going forward.

@copilot try fixing the parser again. your changes were lost.

I've investigated and the Claude log parser changes are actually intact and working correctly. Here's the current status:

JavaScript parser: Updated to handle new mixed format (debug logs + JSONL) with fallback logic
Test updated: Snapshot test now uses sample_claude_log_new_format.txt
Old file deleted: sample_claude_log.txt was successfully removed
New baseline: Generated cleaner output showing MCP tool calls and proper structure
All tests passing: Both Go and JavaScript parsers work with new format

The parser already includes robust format detection:

  • Tries JSON array parsing first (old format)
  • Falls back to line-by-line JSONL parsing (new format)
  • Skips debug lines that don't start with {

Could you clarify what specific functionality you think is missing? All the changes from commit af23802 are present and functional.
