This fixes an issue where views-only apps failed to build with "queries declared and not used" errors. The fix ensures the queries variable is only enabled when resources (which need database access) are added, not when views (which don't use database) are added.

Changes:
1. Route injector (internal/generator/route_injector.go):
   - Added needsQueries check based on HandlerCall signature
   - Only enables queries when handler uses Handler(queries)
   - Views use Handler() → queries stays disabled as _, err
   - Resources use Handler(queries) → queries enabled to queries, err

2. App templates (multi/single kits main.go.tmpl):
   - Changed initial state from queries, err to _, err
   - Fresh apps start with queries disabled
   - Enables only when first resource added

3. Models templates (multi/single kits models.go.tmpl):
   - Added stub Queries type and New function
   - Allows fresh apps to compile without sqlc-generated code
   - Stubs replaced when first resource triggers sqlc generation

Impact:
- Views-only apps now build successfully
- Supports transient data use cases (dashboards, analytics, real-time metrics)
- No "declared and not used" errors for views
- Resources still work correctly with database access

Tested:
- Fresh app: _, err (verified)
- Views-only: _, err + builds successfully (verified)
- Adding resource: queries, err enabled (verified)
- Mixed app: builds and runs successfully (verified)

After the monorepo extraction, the client library is located at
/Users/adnaan/code/livetemplate/client/ (monorepo root level),
not at /Users/adnaan/code/livetemplate/livetemplate/client/.

This was causing all e2e tests to fail with "Failed to read client library"
errors when running `go test ./...`.

Changes:
- Updated test_helpers.go to use monorepoRoot for client path
- Fixed modal_test.go client path reference
- Fixed pagemode_test.go client path reference
- Fixed tutorial_test.go client path reference
- Fixed url_routing_test.go client path reference

Verified:
- Client library now copies successfully (42210 bytes)
- E2e tests no longer fail with client library path errors
- Core unit tests remain passing

Fixed a bug where setupRoutes() was registering "/" twice: once in
each mode-specific setup function (setupAppRoutes, setupKitRoutes,
setupComponentRoutes) and again unconditionally at the end.

This caused a panic on Go 1.25 which now enforces unique route patterns:
"panic: pattern "/" (registered at server.go:116) conflicts with
pattern "/" (registered at server.go:164)"

Root cause:
- Line 116 had: s.mux.HandleFunc("/", s.handleRoot)
- Each mode already registers "/" in its setup function
- This duplicate registration was always present but only became fatal
  when e2e tests started running (after fixing client library path)

Fix:
- Removed the duplicate "/" registration
- Added comment explaining each mode handles "/" itself
- handleRoot() function is now unused (candidate for removal)

Verified:
- TestServe_Defaults now passes
- All e2e tests pass (66.432s)
- All internal tests pass
- Total: 18 packages tested, all passing

The comment indicates each mode sets up its own handler, but if initialization fails in setupComponentRoutes(), setupKitRoutes(), or setupAppRoutes(), the handler registration is skipped (early return), leaving no '/' handler registered. This would cause a runtime panic or 404 responses. Consider either: (1) registering a fallback handler after the switch statement, (2) returning errors from setup functions instead of early returns, or (3) ensuring a default handler is always registered.

Suggested change
// Note: Each mode sets up its own "/" handler, no need for a fallback here
// Register a fallback "/" handler in case mode setup fails to register one
s.mux.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
http.Error(w, "Server failed to initialize properly: no root handler registered", http.StatusInternalServerError)
})

Using string matching to detect if queries parameter is needed is fragile and could produce false positives. Consider using Go's AST (abstract syntax tree) parsing to reliably detect function signatures, or maintain explicit metadata about which handlers require database access.

Copilot uses AI. Check for mistakes.
Address two code quality issues identified in PR review:

1. Server fallback handler (server.go)
   - Issue: If mode initialization fails, no "/" handler is registered
   - Fix: Each setup function now ALWAYS registers "/" handler
   - On success: registers working handler
   - On failure: registers error handler with helpful message
   - Prevents unhandled routes and runtime panics

2. Route injection string matching (route_injector.go)
   - Issue: Using Contains() for pattern matching is fragile
   - Fix: Changed to HasSuffix() for exact pattern matching
   - Added comprehensive comments explaining why this is safe
   - HandlerCall patterns are strictly controlled:
     * Resources: "packageName.Handler(queries)"
     * Views: "packageName.Handler()"
   - More precise and self-documenting

Both changes improve robustness and code clarity without changing
behavior for normal operation.

Tests: All generator and serve tests pass

This commit implements a complete environment variable management system
for LiveTemplate applications, including CLI commands and Claude skill.

## New Commands

### lvt env set
- Sets or updates environment variables in .env file
- Validates key format (UPPERCASE_SNAKE_CASE)
- Masks sensitive values in output
- Auto-adds .env to .gitignore
- Creates .env if it doesn't exist

### lvt env unset
- Removes environment variables from .env file
- Confirms variable exists before removal

### lvt env list
- Lists all environment variables (masked by default)
- Flags:
  --show-values: Show actual values
  --required-only: Only show required vars
- Marks required variables with [REQUIRED]
- Feature-aware (knows what's required based on app)

### lvt env validate
- Checks all required variables are set
- Detects placeholder values ("change-me", etc.)
- Provides helpful error messages with reasons
- Flags:
  --strict: Also validates values
    - APP_ENV is valid (development/staging/production)
    - Secrets are strong enough (32+ chars)
    - EMAIL_PROVIDER is valid (console/smtp)
    - SMTP vars present when needed
    - PORT is numeric

## Enhanced lvt env generate
- Already existed, now part of complete env management workflow

## Implementation Details

### commands/env.go
- Added parseEnvFile() - Parses .env files with proper handling
- Added writeEnvFile() - Writes .env with sorted keys and 0600 permissions

Fixes the stubbed helper functions (runLvtNew, runLvtGenResource, runLvtGenAuth)
that were preventing Docker deployment tests from working.

## Key Changes

1. **Implemented runLvtCommandInDir()**: Builds and caches the lvt binary, then executes commands in specified directories
2. **Fixed app creation logic**: Call `lvt new` from parent directory instead of pre-creating the directory
3. **Added project root detection**: `findProjectRoot()` finds the go.mod location
4. **Added binary caching**: `buildLvtBinary()` builds once and reuses the binary

## Bug Fixed

Previously the code was:
- Creating the app directory first: `os.MkdirAll(appDir)`
- Then calling `lvt new` FROM INSIDE that directory
- This caused `lvt new` to fail because it expects to create the directory itself

Now the code:
- Calls `lvt new` from the parent (tmp) directory
- Lets `lvt new` create and populate the app directory
- Sets dt.AppDir to the resulting path

This ensures test apps are created with all necessary files (go.mod, main.go, etc.)
allowing Docker deployment tests to build and deploy successfully.

This adds support for running deployment tests inside Docker containers,
which solves two key issues:

1. **macOS Permission Popups**: Building lvt binary inside container
   avoids macOS TCC prompts about iTerm accessing data

2. **Consistent Environment**: Tests run in same environment as CI,
   avoiding host-specific networking or Docker issues

Changes:
- Add Dockerfile.test for test runner container
- Add scripts/test-in-docker.sh to run tests with Docker socket
- Update buildLvtBinary() to support LVT_BINARY env var
- Container pre-builds lvt binary to avoid rebuild overhead

Usage:
  # Run mock tests (fast, no Docker networking needed)
  ./scripts/test-in-docker.sh

  # Run Docker deployment tests
  RUN_DOCKER_DEPLOYMENT_TESTS=true ./scripts/test-in-docker.sh TestDockerDeployment

  # Run Fly.io tests (requires credentials)
  FLY_API_TOKEN=xxx RUN_FLY_DEPLOYMENT_TESTS=true \
    ./scripts/test-in-docker.sh TestRealFlyDeployment

The container uses golang:1.23-alpine with GOTOOLCHAIN=auto to
automatically download Go 1.25 when needed, and mounts the Docker
socket to allow building images for deployment tests.

- Add GOTOOLCHAIN=auto to Dockerfile template to support Go 1.25
- Improve health check to accept any 2xx status code
- Try both / and /health endpoints for readiness check

These changes address:
1. Go version mismatch between app (requires 1.25) and Docker image (1.22)
2. Health check was too strict (only accepted 200 OK)
3. Simple kit apps may not have /health endpoint

Progress: Docker builds now succeed and containers start. Health checks
improved but may need further tuning based on app response codes.

This commit fixes several issues with Docker deployment testing:

1. **Go version compatibility**:
   - Updated simple kit go.mod template from Go 1.23 to Go 1.25
   - Updated Dockerfile base image from golang:1.23-alpine to golang:1.25-alpine
   - Removed unnecessary GOTOOLCHAIN=auto (Go 1.25 image already available)

2. **Health check improvements**:
   - Added /health endpoint to simple kit template for reliable container readiness checks
   - Changed health check to use /health instead of / to avoid template rendering issues during startup
   - Reduced health check polling frequency from 2s to 3s to minimize session spam
   - Added debug logging to health checks for troubleshooting

3. **CLI command fix**:
   - Fixed runLvtGenResource to use correct 'lvt gen resource' subcommand syntax

These changes enable Docker deployment tests to pass by ensuring containers build successfully
and become ready reliably without Go toolchain download delays.

The Dockerfile was missing a COPY statement for .tmpl files, causing
"template not parsed" errors when running containers. Added:

  COPY --from=builder /app/*.tmpl ./

This commit includes two fixes:

1. Made smoke test health endpoint check case-insensitive to accept
   both "OK" and "ok" responses. The simple kit returns "OK" but the
   test was checking for lowercase "ok", causing false negatives.

2. Upgraded livetemplate dependency from v0.1.2 to v0.1.3 and updated
   the simple kit template accordingly.

testing/smoke.go:150: Convert response to lowercase before checking
internal/kits/system/simple/templates/app/go.mod.tmpl: Update to v0.1.3

This commit addresses two major issues with Docker deployment tests:

## Issue 1: macOS Permission Dialogs
**Problem**: Tests used system temp directories (/var/folders/...) which
could trigger macOS permission dialogs.

**Solution**: Changed to use working directory (.test-deployments/) for
test artifacts. Benefits:
- No permission dialogs
- Test artifacts accessible for debugging
- Automatic cleanup via t.Cleanup()

## Issue 2: No Docker Layer Caching
**Problem**: Every test rebuilt Docker images from scratch, including:
- Base image layers (golang:1.25-alpine, alpine:latest)
- System packages (apk add gcc, sqlite-dev, etc.)
- Go dependencies (go mod download)
This caused 3-4 minute build times per test.

**Solution**: Enabled Docker BuildKit and preserve images for caching:
- Enable DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 with proper environment inheritance
- Keep images after tests (unless DOCKER_CLEANUP_IMAGES=1 is set)
- Docker automatically reuses cached layers when dependencies unchanged

**Expected Performance**: Subsequent test runs with unchanged dependencies
should complete in ~10 seconds instead of 3-4 minutes.

Files changed:
- testing/deployment.go: Use working dir instead of t.TempDir()
- testing/providers/docker.go: Enable BuildKit, keep images for cache
- .gitignore: Add .test-deployments/ directory

Modified test_helpers.go to write server stdout/stderr to server.log
instead of discarding output. This allows timing logs from v0.4.2-debug.1
to be captured and analyzed.

Key changes:
- Create server.log file in app directory
- Redirect serverCmd.Stdout and serverCmd.Stderr to log file
- In cleanup, read log file and print all [TIMING] lines to test output

This revealed critical finding: delete operations complete in ~1.5ms
on server side, but WebSocket messages never reach browser in full
test suite (despite Send() returning nil). Issue is NOT server blocking
but message delivery failure.

Modified test cleanup to print all debug logs, not just [TIMING].
This revealed that WebSocket messages ARE being sent successfully
from the server (WriteMessage completes in 10µs with no errors),
but the browser in the e2e test environment doesn't process them.

Changes:
- Filter for [TIMING], [PUMP], and [SEND] in server.log
- Updated log header to "DEBUG LOGS" instead of "TIMING LOGS"

This was the final piece of evidence needed to prove the issue is
in the test infrastructure (Docker/Chrome), not livetemplate.

…ge interception

The WebSocket message interceptor was looking for `_lvtClient` property on the
DOM wrapper element, but this property doesn't exist in the livetemplate client.

The client exposes itself via `window.liveTemplateClient` (set in autoInit()),
and the WebSocket can be accessed through `client.webSocketManager.getSocket()`.

This fix allows the test's WebSocket interceptor to correctly find and wrap the
existing WebSocket connection to log received messages for debugging purposes.

Without this fix, the interceptor would always fall back to the WebSocket
constructor interception method, which doesn't work for connections that are
already established before the interceptor runs.

Related fix: client repo commit a7506c7 (use numeric constant instead of WebSocket.OPEN)
The delete test was failing in the full suite because:
1. Each subtest gets a fresh browser context but shares the same server session
2. Previous tests (Add_Post, Modal_Delete) create posts with title "My First Blog Post"
3. Delete test would check for ANY row with that title, not the specific row it deleted
4. When multiple posts exist with the same title, deleting one still leaves others

Fixed by:
- Capturing the specific `data-key` attribute of the row to be deleted
- Waiting for that specific data-key to disappear (not just any row with the title)
- Verifying the specific data-key is gone (not just checking by title)

This ensures the test correctly validates that the exact row it intended to delete
is actually removed, even when multiple rows have the same title.

Fixes delete test timeout in full test suite.
Update the embedded client library to include the fix for WebSocket.OPEN
constant being undefined (client commit a7506c7).

This ensures e2e tests use the corrected client that uses numeric constant
1 instead of WebSocket.OPEN for readyState comparisons.
Updates embedded client library to livetemplate/client v0.4.0 which includes
the fix for WebSocket.OPEN constant becoming undefined in certain contexts.

This completes the fix for delete test timeouts in the full e2e test suite.

💡 Minor Suggestions (Not Blocking)

1. Environment Variable Management

Location: commands/env.go:626-630

Consider adding a constant for the key validation regex:

const envKeyPattern = "^[A-Z][A-Z0-9_]*$"

func isValidEnvKey(key string) bool {
    match, _ := regexp.MatchString(envKeyPattern, key)
    return match
}

This makes it easier to reference the pattern in error messages and documentation.

2. Error Message Consistency

Location: commands/env.go:16, 34

The error messages use different formatting. Consider standardizing:

// Before:
return fmt.Errorf("subcommand required\nUsage: lvt env <command> [args]\n\nCommands:\n...")

// Suggested:
return fmt.Errorf("subcommand required\n\n" + usageText())

This allows reuse and maintains consistency.

3. File Permission Constants

Location: commands/env.go:53, 623

Consider defining constants for file permissions:

const (
    envFileMode        = 0600 // .env file (sensitive)
    envExampleFileMode = 0644 // .env.example (public)
)

4. Test Coverage for env.go

Status: Commands tests passing, but env.go appears to be new

Suggestion: Add unit tests for:

  • detectFeatures() - Verify feature detection logic
  • parseEnvFile() - Test various .env formats
  • maskValue() - Ensure all sensitive patterns are caught
  • isPlaceholderValue() - Test placeholder detection
  • validateValues() - Test all validation scenarios

Example test structure:

func TestDetectFeatures(t *testing.T) {
    tests := []struct {
        name     string
        setup    func(t *testing.T) string // Returns temp dir
        expected map[string]bool
    }{
        {
            name: "detects auth with email features",
            setup: func(t *testing.T) string {
                // Create test directory structure
            },
            expected: map[string]bool{
                "auth": true,
                "email": true,
                // ...
            },
        },
    }
    // ...
}

5. Documentation Enhancement

Location: .claude/skills/lvt/README.md

Consider adding a troubleshooting section for common skill-related issues:

  • "Skill not activating" - Check prompt patterns
  • "Wrong skill activated" - Refine prompt specificity
  • "Skill gives wrong guidance" - Report for skill improvement

🔒 Security Analysis

✅ Secure Practices Observed

  1. Credential Masking (env.go:632-650)

    • Properly masks sensitive environment variables in output
    • Prevents accidental exposure in logs or terminal history
  2. File Permissions (env.go:623)

    • .env created with 0600 (owner-only access)
    • Prevents other users from reading sensitive configuration
  3. Gitignore Management (env.go:775-803)

    • Automatically adds .env to .gitignore
    • Prevents accidental commits of secrets
  4. Input Validation (env.go:626-630)

    • Validates environment key format (UPPERCASE_SNAKE_CASE)
    • Prevents injection or malformed keys
  5. Placeholder Detection (env.go:652-671)

    • Catches common placeholder values in production
    • Prevents deployment with "change-me" values
  6. Strict Validation (env.go:724-773)

    • Validates secret minimum length (32 chars)
    • Validates APP_ENV and EMAIL_PROVIDER against allowed values
    • Checks SMTP configuration completeness

No Security Concerns Found

All security-sensitive code follows best practices. The implementation is production-ready.


📈 Performance Considerations

✅ Efficient Implementations

  1. File Parsing (env.go:553-594)

    • Uses buffered scanner for efficient .env parsing
    • Single-pass parsing with proper error handling
  2. Feature Detection (env.go:68-109)

    • Only checks filesystem once per operation
    • Minimal overhead for feature detection
  3. Globbing (env.go:94)

    • Uses filepath.Glob efficiently
    • Only when needed for auth email feature detection

No Performance Issues Identified

The code is efficient for its use case. Environment operations are typically infrequent, so performance is more than adequate.

…ux CI

The TestModalFunctionality test was failing in GitHub Actions CI with
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED because the HTTP server was bound to 127.0.0.1,
which is not accessible from Docker containers via host.docker.internal.

On Linux, host.docker.internal resolves to 172.17.0.1 (Docker bridge
gateway), so the test server must listen on all interfaces (0.0.0.0) to
accept connections from Docker Chrome containers.

Pull Request Review: Claude Code Skills for lvt CLI

Overview

This is an impressive and comprehensive PR that adds complete Claude Code skills coverage for the LiveTemplate (lvt) CLI. The PR delivers on its promise of enabling AI-guided development from zero to production-ready applications.

Summary Statistics:

  • 28,048 additions across 167 files
  • 19 skills covering full development lifecycle
  • 27 documentation files (~7,000+ lines of comprehensive guides)
  • 29 test files in e2e suite
  • 100% completion of all planned phases

✅ Strengths

1. Exceptional Documentation Quality

The skill documentation is outstanding:

  • Clear, structured format with consistent frontmatter
  • Well-defined user prompts (explicit and implicit)
  • Step-by-step checklists for each operation
  • Comprehensive examples and common pitfalls
  • Context-aware guidance (detects project state before acting)

Example: The gen-auth.md skill (643 lines) provides meticulous guidance for authentication setup, including session management, CSRF protection, magic links, and E2E testing.

2. Well-Architected Skill System

The skills are intelligently organized:

  • Core commands (14): Direct CLI command wrappers
  • Workflows (3): Multi-skill orchestrations (quickstart, production-ready, related resources)
  • Maintenance (3): Analysis, suggestions, troubleshooting
  • Meta (1): Skill creation guide

This layered approach enables both simple and complex workflows.

3. Robust Test Coverage

  • 29 e2e test files with comprehensive scenarios
  • New tests for core LiveTemplate functionality (livetemplate_core_test.go - 2,363 lines)
  • Deployment testing across Docker, Fly.io, and mock environments
  • Chrome pool management for browser-based tests
  • Golden file testing for template rendering

4. Production-Ready Environment Management

The new commands/env.go (813 lines) is exceptionally well-implemented:

  • Smart feature detection - analyzes app structure to determine what env vars are needed
  • Security-first design - masks sensitive values, validates placeholders, enforces proper permissions (0600)
  • Helpful validation - checks for missing/invalid variables with clear error messages
  • Comprehensive templates - generates .env.example with all common configurations

Security highlights:

// Masks sensitive values
func maskValue(key, value string) string {
    sensitivePatterns := []string{"SECRET", "PASSWORD", "TOKEN", "KEY", "PASS", "AUTH", "CREDENTIALS", "API"}
    // Shows only first 4 chars for sensitive values
}

// File permissions restricted
return os.WriteFile(filename, []byte(b.String()), 0600)

5. Intelligent CI/CD Setup

  • Main test workflow with Go 1.25 support
  • Separate deployment tests (manual + weekly scheduled)
  • Disk space management for resource-constrained CI
  • Docker BuildKit optimization
  • Proper permissions for PR comments

🔍 Areas for Improvement

1. Minor: Template Placeholders in Docs (P2)

Location: .claude/skills/lvt/core/new-app.md:385 and docs/SKILL_DEVELOPMENT.md:341

Found placeholder text GAP-XXX that should be filled in or removed:

### GAP-XXX: Issue title

Recommendation: Either document these gaps or remove the placeholder sections.

2. Minor: Commented CI Linting (P2)

Location: .github/workflows/test.yml:38-43

Linting is disabled due to Go 1.25 compatibility:

# TODO: Re-enable when golangci-lint supports Go 1.25

Recommendation:

  • Track this as a TODO item
  • Consider running a subset of linters that work with Go 1.25
  • Add a GitHub issue link to track re-enablement

3. Consideration: Error Handling in env.go (P3)

Location: commands/env.go - several functions

While the code is generally good, some error paths could be more informative:

// Current (line 576-577)
if len(parts) != 2 {
    continue // Skip malformed lines
}

Recommendation: Consider logging malformed lines in verbose/debug mode to help users identify .env syntax issues.

4. Enhancement: Test Organization (P3)

With 29 test files, consider:

  • Adding a test README in e2e/ explaining test categories
  • Documenting how to run specific test suites
  • Adding test tags for faster CI (unit vs integration vs deployment)

5. Documentation: TESTING.md Usability (P2)

The TESTING.md is comprehensive (1,100 lines) but:

  • Could benefit from a table of contents
  • Quick reference section for common test scenarios
  • Links to relevant skill files for each test

🔒 Security Review

Overall: Excellent security posture

Positive Security Practices

  1. Sensitive data masking - Automatically masks secrets in output
  2. Placeholder detection - Prevents deploying with example values
  3. File permissions - .env files written with 0600 permissions
  4. Gitignore enforcement - Ensures .env is ignored
  5. No command execution - env.go uses pure file I/O, no shell commands
  6. Input validation - Validates env key format (UPPERCASE_SNAKE_CASE)
  7. Clear security guidance - Skills include security best practices

Security Guidance in Skills

The skills appropriately warn about:

  • Never committing secrets to version control
  • Generating strong random secrets (openssl rand -hex 32)
  • Using different secrets per environment
  • Regular secret rotation in production

No security concerns found.


🧪 Test Coverage Assessment

Coverage: Excellent

Test Files Added/Modified

  • livetemplate_core_test.go (2,363 lines) - comprehensive template rendering tests

📊 Code Quality Assessment

Positive Patterns

  1. Consistent error handling - Clear error messages with context
  2. Proper resource cleanup - Deferred closes, proper file handling
  3. Good variable naming - Self-documenting code
  4. Separation of concerns - Helper functions well-organized
  5. Feature detection - Smart analysis of app structure

Code Examples Worth Highlighting

env.go feature detection:

func detectFeatures() map[string]bool {
    features := map[string]bool{
        "database": false,
        "auth":     false,
        "email":    false,
        // ...
    }
    // Analyzes file structure to determine enabled features
    // Very elegant approach!
}

Suggestions

  1. Consider extracting magic strings - Constants like file paths, patterns
  2. Add doc comments - Some exported functions lack godoc comments
  3. Unit tests for env.go - Would complement the e2e tests

🚀 Performance Considerations

Positive

  • Docker BuildKit enabled for faster builds
  • Chrome pool for browser test reuse
  • Proper Go module caching in CI
  • Efficient file I/O (bufio.Scanner)

Considerations

  1. CI Disk Space - Good mitigation already in place (cleanup step)
  2. Test Parallelization - Could explore -parallel flag for faster test runs
  3. Skill File Size - Some are quite large (gen-auth: 643 lines). Consider if any should be split, though current organization seems reasonable.
