config-sync-cli-workflow

Purpose

Drive the multi-target config-sync CLI workflow using the defined phase pipeline with consistent backup and audit behavior.

IO Semantics

Input: CLI arguments, settings.json parameters, existing plan files, target tool configuration directories.
Output: Execution plans, phase execution metadata, run logs, and backup records.
Side Effects: Writes plan files, creates backups under backup directories, updates target configuration files when write phases execute.

Deterministic Steps

1. Parameter Normalization

   • Read CLI arguments and merge with settings.json.
   • Resolve target list and component selection.

2. Plan Creation or Loading

   • Create a new plan describing collect, analyze, plan, prepare, adapt, execute, verify, cleanup, report phases; or load an existing plan file.

3. Phase Execution

   • Run collect and analyze to discover current configuration state.
   • Run plan and prepare to build and validate the execution plan, including backup locations.
   • Run adapt and execute to apply changes for selected targets and components.
   • Run verify, cleanup, and report to validate results, manage temporary artifacts, and emit summaries.

4. Result Persistence

   • Persist plan updates, run metadata, and logs into backup directories.
