codemesh status

#Syntax

codemesh status [project] [--base branch]

#Purpose

Report readiness for all registered projects or one project. Status includes local path presence, normalized remote, selected base branch, warnings, and blockers.

When --base is omitted, CodeMesh uses the project's policy base branch, which defaults to main when no project policy sets one.

#Safe Example

demo="$(mktemp -d)"
export CODEMESH_HOME="$demo/codemesh-home"
workspace="$demo/workspace"
seed="$demo/seed"
remote="$demo/demo.git"

mkdir -p "$workspace" "$seed"
git -C "$seed" init -b main
printf '# demo\n' > "$seed/README.md"
git -C "$seed" add README.md
git -C "$seed" -c user.name='CodeMesh Demo' -c user.email='demo@example.invalid' commit -m 'Initial demo'
git clone --bare "$seed" "$remote"
git clone "$remote" "$workspace/demo-project"

codemesh init "$workspace"
codemesh add "$workspace/demo-project" --alias demo-project
codemesh status demo-project --base main

#Current Limitations

• Reports readiness; it does not modify the project checkout.
• Dirty source checkouts warn but do not block agent handoff by themselves.
• Env readiness checks names and paths only; secret values are not read or stored.
• Multi-machine freshness and remote manifest status are not implemented.
