fix(cli): preserve root flags before subcommands - #1012
Conversation
Suppress omitted subparser defaults so explicit safety flags and paths survive parsing. Cover both flag positions, omitted defaults and subcommand precedence. Fixes HodeTech#414 Resolves: CR-A05-001
Reviewer's GuideThis PR fixes argparse namespace clobbering by suppressing defaults for duplicated subcommand flags, preserving explicitly supplied root options while retaining expected omission defaults and subcommand precedence. Parser-only regression tests cover all affected flags in both positions, and the changelog and module-size budget document the change. Sequence diagram for preserving root CLI flagssequenceDiagram

Hey - I've reviewed your changes and they look great!
Sourcery assessment
Needs a human reviewer. A root-level --config can now reach purge when the subcommand omits its own value, potentially selecting a retention policy that deletes data. Reverting the parser change would not restore anything already deleted.

Thank you so much for this contribution, and for following the SUPPRESS precedent and the "parse only, never run purge" guidance so carefully. This is a clean, well-scoped fix. 🙏
What I verified (on a throwaway checkout of the PR head):
- All 8 flags named in the issue are covered. A scan of root/subcommand dest collisions finds none left unprotected (8 on
development, 0 on this branch). - The new tests really guard the behaviour: the 8 "before-subcommand" cases fail against the old parser, and the remaining cases pass on both.
--helpoutput is byte-identical todevelopmentfor the root parser and the six affected subcommands, and exit codes are unchanged.- End to end:
forgelm --dry-run purge …now leaves the corpus intact,forgelm --offline doctoruses the local cache instead of probing the Hub,forgelm --config … purge --check-policysurfaces the config-load error, andforgelm --dry-run --output … quickstart …honours both root flags. - Full suite passes locally (5817 passed, 98 skipped), and
ruffplus the relevant repository guards (CLI help consistency, exit-code prose, module size, import origin, …) are green. - The CHANGELOG entry sits under
[Unreleased] → Fixedwith the finding ID, andFixes #414/Resolves: CR-A05-001are in place.
One small, optional nit: the module-size history entry says "+3", but _parser.py grew by 5 code lines (1370 → 1375). The budget moved by 3 only because 2 lines of headroom were left. Feel free to reword it slightly, or leave it as is; it isn't blocking.
The CI workflow is still waiting for a maintainer to approve it (standard for a first contribution), and we'll take care of that on our side. Approving from my side. Thanks again, this is great work!

A short personal note on top of the review: thank you for the care you put into this one. The parser-only tests, the honest notes about what you ran and where, and the clear PR description made it a pleasure to review. 🎉 If you enjoy working on ForgeLM, we would love to see more of you:
Looking forward to your next contribution. |

- Around line 1151-1165: Update both the English and Turkish CLI references to
document root-versus-subcommand option precedence: root options may appear
before a subcommand, their values remain effective when the subcommand omits the
duplicate option, and an explicit subcommand value takes precedence when both
are supplied.

Linux verification ran the full canonical gauntlet on Ubuntu with Python 3.11 and CPU torch, including site tests, dry-run, typing and every repository guard. Ruff formatting was checked without rewriting files; mypy used a minimal environment, following the existing CI approach.

Against the old parser, eight new before-subcommand cases fail.An earlier Windows full-suite attempt reported 5,531 passed, 74 failed and 104 skipped, including symlink privilege failures (WinError 1314).
