Combined spec + code-quality review of Task 10 (cmd diff --plain end-to-end) in worktree `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/operations/.claude/worktrees/birdseye`. Do spec first, then quality.

Diff: `git diff 16193cc..835333a -- apps/birdseye/cmd/`

## Spec — What Was Requested

Create `apps/birdseye/cmd/diff.go`:
- `type diffOpts struct { Semantic bool; Plain bool; CacheDir string }`
- Constants: `maxArchiveBytes = 50 << 20`
- `newDiffCmd(g *GlobalFlags) *cobra.Command` — flags `--semantic`, `--plain`, `--no-tui` (alias for Plain), `--cache-dir`; Args: MaximumNArgs(3); RunE invokes `runDiff(cmd.Context(), cmd, args, g, o)`
- `defaultCacheDir() string` — `os.UserCacheDir()` + "birdseye"
- `newHTTPClient(d time.Duration) *http.Client`
- `parseModuleAddress(s string) (api.ModuleIdentifier, error)` — 3 slash-separated parts; calls `id.Validate()`; wraps errors with `%w: ErrUsage`
- `runDiff(ctx, cmd, args, g, o)`:
  - 0 args → return `ErrUsage` (interactive comes later)
  - != 3 args → `ErrUsage`
  - validate module + both versions via api.ValidateVersion
  - build client, disk cache, registry
  - FetchPair both versions
  - Extract both (wrap errors with `%w: ErrArchive`)
  - `diff.Textual` → `diff.Result`
  - `renderPlain(cmd.OutOrStdout(), result)`
- `renderPlain(w io.Writer, r diff.Result)` — prints "no differences" when empty, else per-file `=== path (status) +adds -dels` then `fd.Unified`

Create `apps/birdseye/cmd/diff_test.go`:
- `fakeCrowTwoVersions(t)` test helper with v1+v2 of `iac/comply/aws`
- `TestDiffPlainOutput` — assert output contains `main.tf`, `variables.tf`, `alpha`, `beta`
- `TestDiffIdenticalVersionsNoChanges` — output is literally `no differences`
- `TestDiffBadModuleAddress` — `ExitCode(err) == 1`

Modify `apps/birdseye/cmd/root.go` — replace the placeholder comment with `root.AddCommand(newDiffCmd(g))`.

Commit message exact: `feat(birdseye): plain unified diff output for one-shot CLI usage`.

## Quality Focus

- Layering: does `runDiff` actually flow through registry → archive → diff?
- Error wrapping: `%w: ErrUsage` / `%w: ErrArchive` for the right paths?
- TUI/interactive branch: should be 0-args → ErrUsage placeholder (Task 15 fixes)?
- `defaultCacheDir`: handles `os.UserCacheDir` error path?
- `--no-tui` vs `--plain`: both bind to same `o.Plain`?
- Tests use `t.TempDir()` for cache dir (no pollution)?
- Resource cleanup: any leaked goroutines / file descriptors?

## Report Format

**Spec:** ✅ compliant OR ❌ issues with file:line
**Quality:**
- Strengths: 1-2 bullets
- Issues: Critical / Important / Minor
- Assessment: APPROVED | NEEDS_CHANGES

Be terse.


- migrate-flux-app: Use when migrating a Flux CD application from the infrastructure/kubernetes/application-deployments repo to the application-deployment repo. Covers copying app folders, updating kustomizations, committing, pushing, and creating merge requests.
- app-infra-generate: Generate an application-infrastructure Terraform module from a YAML spec produced by app-infra-spec. Reads pattern files and a versions manifest to produce main.tf, variables.tf, outputs.tf, overlay guidance, and a triage list.
- app-infra-spec: Structured questionnaire to gather requirements for an application-infrastructure Terraform module. Produces a YAML spec for the app-infra-generate skill.
- obsidian-load: Load context from Obsidian notes in the `Claude/` directory into the current conversation.
- obsidian-save: Save current conversation context to an Obsidian note under the `Claude/` directory.
- mind:search: Search memories for specific content or patterns
- mind:stats: Show memory statistics and storage information
- mind:recent: Show recent memories and activity timeline
- mind:ask: Ask questions about memories and get context-aware answers
- superpowers:using-git-worktrees: Use when starting feature work that needs isolation from current workspace or before executing implementation plans - ensures an isolated workspace exists via native tools or git worktree fallback
- superpowers:receiving-code-review: Use when receiving code review feedback, before implementing suggestions, especially if feedback seems unclear or technically questionable - requires technical rigor and verification, not performative agreement or blind implementation
- superpowers:finishing-a-development-branch: Use when implementation is complete, all tests pass, and you need to decide how to integrate the work - guides completion of development work by presenting structured options for merge, PR, or cleanup
- superpowers:dispatching-parallel-agents: Use when facing 2+ independent tasks that can be worked on without shared state or sequential dependencies
- superpowers:writing-plans: Use when you have a spec or requirements for a multi-step task, before touching code
- superpowers:using-superpowers: Use when starting any conversation - establishes how to find and use skills, requiring Skill tool invocation before ANY response including clarifying questions
- superpowers:writing-skills: Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deployment
- superpowers:requesting-code-review: Use when completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to verify work meets requirements
- superpowers:executing-plans: Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints
- superpowers:verification-before-completion: Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, or passing, before committing or creating PRs - requires running verification commands and confirming output before making any success claims; evidence before assertions always
- superpowers:brainstorming: You MUST use this before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior. Explores user intent, requirements and design before implementation.
- superpowers:systematic-debugging: Use when encountering any bug, test failure, or unexpected behavior, before proposing fixes
- superpowers:test-driven-development: Use when implementing any feature or bugfix, before writing implementation code
- superpowers:subagent-driven-development: Use when executing implementation plans with independent tasks in the current session
- mind:memory: Claude Mind - Search and manage Claude's persistent memory stored in a single portable .mv2 file
- mind:mind: Claude Mind - Search and manage Claude's persistent memory stored in a single portable .mv2 file
- update-config: Use this skill to configure the Claude Code harness via settings.json. Automated behaviors ("from now on when X", "each time X", "whenever X", "before/after X") require hooks configured in settings.json - the harness executes these, not Claude, so memory/preferences cannot fulfill them. Also use for: permissions ("allow X", "add permission", "move permission to"), env vars ("set X=Y"), hook troubleshooting, or any changes to settings.json/settings.local.json files. Examples: "allow npm commands", "add bq permission to global settings", "move permission to user settings", "set DEBUG=true", "when claude stops show X". For simple settings like theme/model, suggest the /config command.
- keybindings-help: Use when the user wants to customize keyboard shortcuts, rebind keys, add chord bindings, or modify ~/.claude/keybindings.json. Examples: "rebind ctrl+s", "add a chord shortcut", "change the submit key", "customize keybindings".
- simplify: Review changed code for reuse, quality, and efficiency, then fix any issues found.
- fewer-permission-prompts: Scan your transcripts for common read-only Bash and MCP tool calls, then add a prioritized allowlist to project .claude/settings.json to reduce permission prompts.
- loop: Run a prompt or slash command on a recurring interval (e.g. /loop 5m /foo). Omit the interval to let the model self-pace. - When the user wants to set up a recurring task, poll for status, or run something repeatedly on an interval (e.g. "check the deploy every 5 minutes", "keep running /babysit-prs"). Do NOT invoke for one-off tasks.
- schedule: Create, update, list, or run scheduled remote agents (routines) that execute on a cron schedule. - When the user wants to schedule a recurring remote agent, set up automated tasks, create a cron job for Claude Code, or manage their scheduled agents/routines. Also use when the user wants a one-time scheduled run ("run this once at 3pm", "remind me to check X tomorrow").
- claude-api: Build, debug, and optimize Claude API / Anthropic SDK apps. Apps built with this skill should include prompt caching. Also handles migrating existing Claude API code between Claude model versions (4.5 → 4.6, 4.6 → 4.7, retired-model replacements).
TRIGGER when: code imports `anthropic`/`@anthropic-ai/sdk`; user asks for the Claude API, Anthropic SDK, or Managed Agents; user adds/modifies/tunes a Claude feature (caching, thinking, compaction, tool use, batch, files, citations, memory) or model (Opus/Sonnet/Haiku) in a file; questions about prompt caching / cache hit rate in an Anthropic SDK project.
SKIP: file imports `openai`/other-provider SDK, filename like `*-openai.py`/`*-generic.py`, provider-neutral code, general programming/ML.
- init: Initialize a new CLAUDE.md file with codebase documentation
- review: Review a pull request
- security-review: Complete a security review of the pending changes on the current branch


I'll start by reading the relevant files to conduct this review.

All green with the race detector. Now let me verify the one subtle concern about `--no-tui` dual-binding with cobra.

Build birdseye binary and check diff --help


Diff two versions of a module hosted in Crow.

If module/versions are omitted, the interactive TUI launches
(see picker task). With --plain, prints unified diff to stdout.

Usage:
  birdseye diff [module] [versionA] [versionB] [flags]

Flags:
      --cache-dir string   module tarball cache directory (default "/Users/steve.briggs/Library/Caches/birdseye")
  -h, --help               help for diff
      --no-tui             alias for --plain
      --plain              force plain (non-TUI) output
      --semantic           include HCL-aware semantic diff alongside textual

Global Flags:
      --crow-url string    Crow base URL (env CROW_URL) (default "https://crow.infrastructure.immuta.io")
      --json               emit structured JSON to stdout where supported
      --timeout duration   per-operation HTTP timeout (default 30s)

All checks complete. Here is the review.

---

**Spec:** COMPLIANT

Every item checks out:

- `diffOpts` struct: exact fields (`Semantic`, `Plain`, `CacheDir`)
- `maxArchiveBytes = 50 << 20`: present at package level
- `newDiffCmd`: flags `--semantic`, `--plain`, `--no-tui` (both bound to `o.Plain`), `--cache-dir`; `MaximumNArgs(3)`; `RunE` calls `runDiff`
- `defaultCacheDir`: `os.UserCacheDir()` + "birdseye", fallback to `.birdseye-cache`
- `newHTTPClient`: present, returns `*http.Client`
- `parseModuleAddress`: 3 slash-parts, calls `id.Validate()`, wraps with `%w: ErrUsage`
- `runDiff`: 0-args returns `ErrUsage`, !=3 returns `ErrUsage`, validates both versions, builds client/cache/registry, `FetchPair`, `Extract` (both wrapped `%w: ErrArchive`), `diff.Textual` → `renderPlain`
- `renderPlain`: "no differences" on empty, per-file header + `fd.Unified`
- `root.go`: placeholder comment replaced with `root.AddCommand(newDiffCmd(g))`
- Tests: `fakeCrowTwoVersions` helper, all 3 test cases present; `TestDiffBadModuleAddress` checks `ExitCode(err) == 1`
- Commit message in diff: `feat(birdseye): plain unified diff output for one-shot CLI usage` — matches exactly

---

**Quality:**

Strengths:
- Clean layering: `runDiff` flows strictly through `registry.New` → `FetchPair` → `archive.Extract` → `diff.Textual` → `renderPlain` with no layer-skipping
- Tests use `t.TempDir()` for cache dir, no filesystem pollution; all three tests pass with `-race`

Issues:

**Important — dual `BoolVar` binding is technically correct but fragile.** Both `--plain` and `--no-tui` are registered with separate `BoolVar` calls pointing to the same `o.Plain` pointer (`diff.go:47-48`). Cobra doesn't warn about this and it works today, but if cobra ever validates for duplicate destination pointers it would break silently. The idiomatic Go/cobra approach is to mark `--no-tui` as a hidden alias via `c.Flags().Lookup("plain").Aliases` (cobra doesn't support this natively) or set `--no-tui` with a `MarkHidden` + `PreRunE` to copy its value to `o.Plain`. This is a minor correctness risk now but a maintenance trap later. No bug today; tests pass.

**Minor — `renderPlain` silently discards write errors on non-last iterations.** Lines `_, _ = fmt.Fprintln(w)` and `_, _ = fmt.Fprintf(...)` for the header and body discard errors, then the function returns `nil` if only the final `fmt.Fprintln("no differences")` or lack thereof is reached without error propagation. If the writer is closed mid-stream (piped to a pager that exits) the caller gets a spurious `nil` return. Consistent error returns on every `fmt.Fprintf` call would be safer.

**Minor — `newHTTPClient` is a thin wrapper with no justification for existing as a named function.** The call site uses it exactly once with `g.Timeout`. It adds indirection without adding testability (it returns a concrete `*http.Client`, not an interface). Not a bug, but dead weight.

**Minor — `runDiff` doesn't gate on `o.Plain` before calling `renderPlain`.** The spec says TUI mode lands in Task 13/15, and the 0-args path returns `ErrUsage`, so plain output is effectively the only reachable path. However, there's no check that `o.Plain || !isTTY()` before calling `renderPlain`; a future task wiring in TUI will need to add that guard. The comment `// TUI mode wired in Task 13.` acknowledges this — it's a known stub, not a defect.

**Assessment: APPROVED**

The implementation is correct, all tests pass with `-race`, spec compliance is 100%. The dual-`BoolVar` alias is the most meaningful issue but carries no current bug; the other points are stylistic. No changes required before merge.
