Add Interactive TUI Browser for OVHcloud Public cloud universe

Description

This PR introduces a new Terminal User Interface (TUI) command ovhcloud browser that provides an interactive, web-like interface for browsing and managing OVHcloud services directly in the terminal. This feature simulates the experience of navigating the OVHcloud Manager within a terminal environment.

Features

Core Functionality

  • Interactive Terminal UI: Browse OVHcloud resources using keyboard navigation
  • Real-time API Data: Direct integration with OVHcloud API for current data
  • Hierarchical Navigation: Navigate through projects, instances, databases, storage, networks, and more
  • Table Views: Display resources in organized table format with sorting and filtering
  • Resource Details: View detailed information about selected resources
  • Debug Mode: Toggle to see API requests and request IDs for troubleshooting

Supported Resources

  • Projects: List and manage cloud projects
  • Instances: View VM instances with status, location, image, and IP information
  • Kubernetes: Browse Kubernetes clusters
  • Databases: View database services
  • Storage: Access S3, Swift, and block storage containers
  • Networks: Browse private and public networks, load balancers
  • SSH Keys: Manage SSH key management actions

Interactive Actions

  • SSH Key Creation: Create new SSH keys with wizard
  • SSH Connection: Quick connection to instances
  • Instance Creation Wizard: Step-by-step instance creation guide
  • Instance Actions: Perform actions on instances (reboot, reinstall, etc.)

Navigation Controls

  • Arrow Keys: Navigate through menus and tables
  • Enter: Select items and view details
  • Esc/Left Arrow: Navigate back
  • d: Toggle debug panel to view API requests
  • q: Quit application

UI Modes

  • Table View: Display resources in sortable, scrollable tables
  • Detail View: Show comprehensive information about a selected resource
  • Empty View: Graceful handling of empty resource lists with creation prompts
  • Error View: Clear error messaging with troubleshooting information
  • Wizard View: Step-by-step guided workflows for resource creation

Changes

New Files

  • internal/services/browser/api.go - API data fetching and management
  • internal/services/browser/manager.go - TUI state management and rendering
  • internal/cmd/browser.go - CLI command definition
  • internal/http/debug.go - Debug logging for API requests
  • doc/ovhcloud_browser.md - User documentation

Key Components

  1. State Management: Tracks current view mode, selected product, and data state
  2. API Integration: Handles fetching data from OVHcloud APIs with proper error handling
  3. Rendering: Uses Bubble Tea framework for TUI rendering and event handling
  4. Navigation: Manages tab switching between different products and resource types
  5. Data Processing: Transforms API responses into displayable table formats

Technical Details

API Handling

  • Proper handling of paginated responses
  • Fallback logic for APIs returning either string IDs or full objects
  • Region-aware data fetching for multi-region resources
  • Parallel fetching where applicable

Error Handling

  • Graceful degradation when resources fail to load
  • Clear error messages displayed in UI
  • Debug mode for API request inspection

Bug Fixes

  • Storage Tab: Fixed JSON unmarshaling error when fetching storage data
    • Properly handles region endpoint returning string IDs
    • Fetches full object details separately
    • Supports both string ID and full object responses from storage APIs

Testing

  • Build successful with make build
  • Manual testing of all navigation features
  • Verified with multiple resource types and empty states
  • Debug mode functional for API request inspection

Related Issues

  • Addresses TUI browser feature development
  • Fixes storage tab data loading issues

Breaking Changes

None - this is a new feature

Migration Guide

No migration needed. New command available as ovhcloud browser

Documentation

  • User-facing documentation in doc/ovhcloud_browser.md

Checklist

  • Code follows project style guidelines
  • Documentation updated and generated
  • Build successful (make build)
  • Feature tested manually
  • No breaking changes
  • Error handling implemented
  • Debug mode implemented for troubleshooting

feat(browser): Optimize instance wizard and add parallel data enrichment
e718364 
- Extract regions from images API instead of N+1 region detail calls
- Fetch flavors on-demand per selected region
- Cache and reuse images throughout wizard flow
- Filter SSH keys by region via query parameter
- Filter private networks by selected region
- Sort regions alphabetically for consistent display
- Clean up region display (name only, no datacenter/continent info)

- Display instances immediately without waiting for images/floating IPs
- Fetch image names and floating IPs in parallel background
- Automatically enrich display when async data arrives
- Preserve user cursor position during data updates

- Capture and display API query string parameters
- Query strings styled in golden color for visibility
- Shows complete request details: method, URL, query, status, duration, request ID

- Reduce region fetching from N+1 calls to 1 (extract from images response)
- Query-level filtering for SSH keys instead of client-side filtering
- Parallel image/floating IP fetching reduces perceived latency
- Simplified private network display (removed subnet fetching/filtering)
