+## Tests

+
+**Untested (sample):**

+## Documentation
+
+- README: yes
+- Doc files: 26
+- Public callables: 1107
+- Documented: 189 (17%)
+
+**Missing docstrings (sample):**
+  - `docs/contributors/fetch.py:main`

+  - `docs/contributors/fetch.py:fetch_missing_users_details`
+  - `docs/contributors/fetch.py:save_awesome_people`
+
+## Recommendations
+
+1. Resolve 2 circular import(s) — introduce an interface layer or inversion-of-control.
+2. Docstring coverage is 17%. Add docstrings to public functions and classes.
+3. 3 file(s) may span tier boundaries. Split into smaller, single-purpose modules.
+
+**Next action:** Fix circular imports first, then increase test coverage.

+# httpie/cli — ASS-ADE Static Analysis
+
+> Automated static analysis of the `httpie/cli` module using [ASS-ADE](https://atomadic.tech) (Autonomous Sovereign System: Atomadic Development Environment). No LLM was used in the recon phase — pure static analysis in < 2 seconds.
+
+## Findings
+
+### Recon (full repo)
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Source files | 135 Python |
+| Circular imports | 2 detected |
+| Doc coverage | 17% (189 / 1107 public callables) |
+| Untested modules | 66 |
+| Test ratio | 0.43 (429 test functions / 35 test files) |
+| Tier violations | 3 files spanning multiple responsibility layers |
+
+### httpie/cli module breakdown
+
+The `httpie/cli` directory contains 1,708 lines across 5 files:
+
+| File | Lines | Tier classification |
+|------|-------|---------------------|
+| `definition.py` | 956 | Mixed (constants + arg groups + spec) |
+| `argtypes.py` | 275 | at-layer functions |
+| `options.py` | 249 | mo-layer composites |
+| `constants.py` | 134 | qk-layer constants |
+| `dicts.py` | 94 | at-layer functions |
+
+`definition.py` at 956 lines is the primary concern — it conflates constant declarations, argument group definitions, and top-level spec composition, which are three distinct responsibility layers.
+
+### Rebuild (httpie/cli only)
+
+Running ASS-ADE rebuild on just the `httpie/cli` directory produced a tier-partitioned reference:
+
+| Phase | Result |
+|-------|--------|
+| Ingest | 15 files, 153 symbols, 153 gaps |
+| Gap-fill proposals | 101 |
+| Enrichment | 101 bodies, 108 edges |
+| Cycle check | **Acyclic** (all cycles resolved) |
+| Purity | 84 violating edges removed |
+| Audit | 101/101 clean (100.0%) |
+
+Tier partition:
+
+| Tier | Components |
+|------|-----------|
+| `a0_qk_constants` (pure constants, no deps) | 11 |
+| `a1_at_functions` (pure functions, simple deps) | 68 |
+| `a2_mo_composites` (composite structures) | 22 |
+
+## Proposed improvements
+
+1. **Split `definition.py`** — Extract constants to `constants.py`, move argument group builders to `groups.py`, keep only the top-level `ParserSpec` composition in `definition.py`. Target: < 300 lines each.
+
+2. **Resolve circular imports** — Two import cycles detected (`client.py → context.py → output/utils.py` and a self-referential import in `output/formatters/xml.py`). Introduce an interface layer or lazy import to break the cycle.
+
+3. **Docstring coverage** — 17% of 1,107 public callables are documented. Prioritize `httpie/cli/argtypes.py` and `httpie/cli/options.py` which have the highest external call surface.
+
+## Tool
+
+[ASS-ADE](https://atomadic.tech) — `pip install ass-ade-rebuild` — runs locally, no LLM required for recon. Full recon took 1.5 seconds on this repo.
