CLI Overview

Summary

Meridian's CLI is small on purpose. The commands map to a few distinct user intents rather than a large set of modes.

Command groups by intent

Validate and understand a config

• validate
• graph
• diff

Prove runtime flow

• test
• check
• ci

Inspect previous runs

• debug logs
• debug capture
• debug summary
• debug bundle

Shell and metadata helpers

• version
• completion

Recommended entry points

• first local run: validate, then check
• PR review workflow: diff, then ci
• post-failure inspection: debug summary, debug bundle, debug logs
