# Feature Flags

This repository has two different "experimental" mechanisms:

1. `bun run build:dev`
   Builds a dev-stamped binary (`cli-dev`) and marks it as an experimental build.
   It does not automatically enable every compile-time feature flag in the source.

2. `feature('FLAG_NAME')`
   Bun compile-time flags that include or strip code paths at build time.

## Build Variants

- `bun run build`
  Builds the regular external binary at `./cli`.
- `bun run build:dev`
  Builds `./cli-dev` with a `-dev.YYYYMMDD.tHHMMSS.sha...` version and the experimental GrowthBook client key.
- `bun run build:dev:full`
  Builds `./cli-dev` with the snapshot-safe experimental bundle listed below.

## Snapshot-Safe Experimental Bundle

The following flags were smoke-tested against this leaked source snapshot and compile successfully together:

- `QUICK_SEARCH`
  Enables prompt quick-search UI paths.
- `HISTORY_PICKER`
  Enables interactive prompt history picker UI.
- `TOKEN_BUDGET`
  Enables token budget tracking and related UI warnings.
- `VOICE_MODE`
  Enables voice-mode UI and command paths.
  Runtime still depends on optional native audio support.
- `ULTRAPLAN`
  Enables ultraplan command and prompt-input triggers.
- `CACHED_MICROCOMPACT`
  Enables cached microcompact plumbing.
- `PROMPT_CACHE_BREAK_DETECTION`
  Enables cache-break detection around compact/query flow.

These are the flags used by `build:dev:full`.

`CHICAGO_MCP` compiles from this snapshot, but the resulting binary is not
runtime-safe because it reaches unresolved `@ant/*` computer-use modules.
It is intentionally excluded from `build:dev:full`.

- UI extras
  `QUICK_SEARCH`, `HISTORY_PICKER`, `VOICE_MODE`, `MESSAGE_ACTIONS`, `AUTO_THEME`, `SHOT_STATS`

## Known Broken In This Snapshot

These flags do appear in source, but turning them on currently fails to build because referenced modules are missing from the leaked snapshot:

- `KAIROS`
- `KAIROS_BRIEF`
- `PROACTIVE`
- `BRIDGE_MODE`
- `DAEMON`
- `DIRECT_CONNECT`
- `SSH_REMOTE`
- `COORDINATOR_MODE`
- `CHICAGO_MCP`
- `BUDDY`
- `UDS_INBOX`
- `CONTEXT_COLLAPSE`
- `REACTIVE_COMPACT`
- `EXPERIMENTAL_SKILL_SEARCH`
- `MCP_SKILLS`
- `WORKFLOW_SCRIPTS`
- `MONITOR_TOOL`
- `REVIEW_ARTIFACT`
- `TEAMMEM`
- `TRANSCRIPT_CLASSIFIER`

The failures are mostly missing files such as assistant-mode modules, remote/server modules, workflow/monitor tools, skill-search modules, classifier prompt files, and team-memory helpers.
