smoke

Smoke (strike-cli)

Product-level checks beyond unit tests. Prefer automated commands; fall back to a short manual checklist when automation is missing.

No API keys required for the default path (echo provider).

When to run

• Changes under cmd/strike, internal/engine, internal/tui (input/keymap/app), internal/session, internal/auth, internal/host
• Before cutting a release (with skill release)
• After CI green when the PR is user-visible

Skip for pure docs/skills (tier A) unless the docs claim a runtime behavior change.

Automated baseline

make build
make run-echo   # must start; quit cleanly (q / ctrl+c per current binds)

If strike binary exists from make build:

./strike version
./strike exec --provider echo "say hi" 2>/dev/null || ./strike exec "say hi" || true

Record the exact flags that work on this revision (exec/provider flags drift — read ./strike -h / cmd/strike).

Checklist (mark each PASS/FAIL/SKIP)

#	Path	How
1	Boot	make run-echo or ./strike --provider echo starts without panic
2	Version	./strike version prints stamped or dev version
3	Echo turn	Send a short prompt; assistant text appears (manual TUI or exec)
4	Tool path	If tools touched: echo run … or unit-covered tool still OK — note SKIP if not exercised
5	Interrupt	If engine/TUI interrupt touched: esc (or documented bind) cancels in-flight turn
6	Resume	If session touched: --continue or /session resume loads without corrupt transcript
7	Auth surface	If auth touched: strike auth help/list does not crash (no live login required)

Report format

1. Verdict — PASS only if no FAIL; list SKIP with reason.
2. Commands — exact lines.
3. Failures — verbatim.
4. Not run — what a human should still click-test.

Rules

• Do not claim product readiness from make test alone when this skill applies.
• Do not require live provider keys for baseline smoke.
• Do not skip FAIL by weakening the app; open a bugs-first issue instead.
