Story 6.5: CLI for Batch Execution

Status: done

Story

As a data engineer (David), I want a command-line interface for batch thermodynamic simulations, So that I can process millions of scenarios programmatically without manual intervention.

Acceptance Criteria

  1. Given a JSON configuration file defining a thermodynamic system When running entropyk-cli run config.json Then the simulation executes successfully And results are written to a JSON output file

  2. Given a directory of multiple configuration files When running entropyk-cli batch ./scenarios/ Then all simulations execute in parallel And progress is reported to stdout And individual failures don't stop the batch

  3. Given a simulation execution When the process completes Then exit code 0 indicates success And exit code 1 indicates simulation error And exit code 2 indicates configuration error

  4. Given the CLI binary When running entropyk-cli --help Then comprehensive usage documentation is displayed And all commands and options are documented

  5. Given a large batch job When running with --parallel N option Then N simulations run concurrently And CPU utilization scales appropriately

Dev Notes

Architecture Compliance

  • Crate Location: crates/cli/ (follows workspace structure)
  • Binary Name: entropyk-cli (installable via cargo install entropyk-cli)
  • Dependencies: Reuse entropyk facade crate for all simulation logic
  • Error Handling: Use anyhow for CLI errors, map ThermoError appropriately
  • Observability: Use tracing-subscriber with optional file logging

CLI Structure Pattern

Follow clap derive pattern for clean argument parsing:

#[derive(Parser)]
#[command(name = "entropyk-cli")]
#[command(about = "Batch thermodynamic simulation CLI", long_about = None)]
struct Cli {
    #[command(subcommand)]
    command: Commands,
}

#[derive(Subcommand)]
enum Commands {
    Run {
        #[arg(short, long)]
        config: PathBuf,
        #[arg(short, long)]
        output: Option<PathBuf>,
    },
    Batch {
        #[arg(short, long)]
        directory: PathBuf,
        #[arg(short, long, default_value = "4")]
        parallel: usize,
    },
}

Configuration Schema

{
  "fluid": "R134a",
  "components": [
    {
      "type": "Compressor",
      "name": "comp1",
      "ahri_coefficients": [1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0]
    },
    {
      "type": "Condenser",
      "name": "cond1",
      "ua": 5000.0
    }
  ],
  "edges": [
    {"from": "comp1:outlet", "to": "cond1:inlet"}
  ],
  "solver": {
    "strategy": "fallback",
    "max_iterations": 100,
    "tolerance": 1e-6
  }
}

Project Structure Notes

  • Binary crate separate from library crates
  • Use entropyk facade crate to access all simulation functionality
  • Follow patterns from existing demo binaries in demo/src/bin/
  • Use serde_json for configuration and output

Critical Constraints

  1. No Panics: All errors must return proper exit codes
  2. Memory Efficient: Process large batches without memory growth
  3. Deterministic Output: Same config → same JSON output
  4. Progress Visibility: User must know batch progress

Previous Story Intelligence

From Story 6.1 (Rust Native API):

  • Top-level entropyk crate provides unified facade
  • SystemBuilder pattern for system construction
  • ThermoError unified error handling
  • All components implement serialization

From Story 6.4 (WebAssembly):

  • JSON serialization pattern for results
  • ConvergedState serialization approach

Exit Code Convention

Code Meaning
0 Success
1 Simulation error (non-convergence, validation failure)
2 Configuration error (invalid JSON, missing fields)
3 I/O error (file not found, permission denied)

Debug Log References

  • Pre-existing compilation errors in entropyk-components/src/python_components.rs blocking full test execution
  • These errors are NOT related to the CLI crate implementation
  • CLI crate (cargo check -p entropyk-cli) passes compilation successfully

Senior Developer Review (AI)

Review Date: 2026-02-22

Issues Found and Fixed

  1. [FIXED] HIGH - Solver strategy was ignored: The config.solver.strategy field was parsed but not used. Now correctly uses newton, picard, or fallback based on config.

  2. [FIXED] MEDIUM - Edge validation incomplete: Edge format validation checked component:port format but didn't verify component names exist. Now validates that all edge references point to existing components.

  3. [FIXED] MEDIUM - Example configs invalid: Example configs contained ExpansionValve which requires connected ports and cannot be created via JSON config. Updated examples to use only supported components.

  4. [FIXED] LOW - Author hardcodé: Changed from hardcoded author string to use clap's #[command(author)] which reads from Cargo.toml.

  5. [DOCUMENTED] Component Limitations: ExpansionValve and Compressor require connected ports and are not supported in JSON configs. This is now clearly documented in README and error messages.

Test Results

  • All CLI lib tests pass (9 tests)
  • Config parsing tests pass with new edge validation
  • Batch execution tests pass
  • Single run tests pass

Recommendations for Future Work

  • Add Compressor support with AHRI 540 coefficients
  • Add ExpansionValve support with port auto-connection
  • Add integration tests that execute actual simulations
  • Consider recursive directory scanning for batch mode
