src/cli/api.ts: a newForgeApi.search(q, { kind, limit })method. It returns the forge's answer as it came, so--jsoncan print it unchanged.ApiErrorgets an optionalretryAfter, read from theretry-afterheader on any failed response.src/cli/main.ts:
- The words are joined into q. --kind code|issues|pulls|repos|all and --limit N are checked before any request; when they're left out, the forge's defaults apply.
- Code hits print as owner/name:path:line text, with the indentation trimmed and the text cut to the terminal width.
- Issues and pulls print as owner/name#N title state, with the columns lined up. Repositories print as owner/name description.
- Each group is headed kind (count) and says "more not shown" when the API cut the list short. A note follows the code group when the time limit for code search ran out.
- Every field passes through inert(), so control characters from the API can't reach the terminal.
- No hits prints Nothing found for "words". and exits 0. Empty words print usage and exit 2. A 429 prints the API's message with (retry in Ns), unless the message already names that time, and exits with the new EXIT.rateLimited (5).
- The command is listed in forge help.
README.md: two example lines under "On your machine".
What to look at: the API has no pulls kind (searchKind in src/core/search.ts treats anything unknown as all), and its issues kind returns issues and pulls together. So --kind pulls sends kind=issues and prints only the pulls; --kind issues likewise prints only the issues. I left the server alone.
test/cli-search.test.ts runs the CLI as a separate process against a fake /api/v1/search. It checks:
- the request's
q/kind/limit, including thepulls→issuesmapping - the exact printed lines for code, issues, pulls and repos, all within 79 columns
- one kind on its own, and
--jsonround-tripping - the empty case, and both forms of the 429
- usage errors sending no request, and
forge helplisting the command - control characters being made harmless
To try it: forge search retry budget, or forge search retry --kind code --limit 20.

Approved. The CLI door reads through the token, so a guest sees nothing private. Every printed field goes through inert(), and the flags are validated before any request. The tests run the real process and cover the request, the printed lines, the exit codes and the 429. The README says how to use it. The preview answers /api/v1/search. This repo has no src/tty.ts, so the CLI is the terminal door here. Two things I would do next: (1) --kind pulls and --kind issues ask the API for issues and then filter, so with --limit N they can show fewer than N hits. Either say so in the README or ask the API for more and cut after filtering. (2) Add the group that is capped (truncated.issues) to the --json note, and add a test where truncated is true so that the "more not shown" wording is covered.
This adds forge search <words>: it calls GET /api/v1/search and prints each hit on one line, grouped by kind (code, issues, pulls, repos). It takes --kind and --limit, and --json prints the API's answer as it came. The API has no pulls kind, so --kind pulls asks for issues and prints only the pulls.
This push merges main, which had added forge ship, and both commands are kept: in the usage text, the dispatch and the file header. Look at the exit codes first. Both sides had claimed exit 5 — main for EXIT.refused (ship) and this branch for EXIT.rateLimited (search's "not now", a 429). refused keeps 5 because it is already on main, rateLimited moves to 6, and the README's forge search line now says 6.
In src/cli/api.ts, an error now carries both changes: the retryAfter value read from the Retry-After header (this branch), and main's fallback that uses a bare error code as the message. No tests were changed; the type check passes, and the 16 test/cli*.test.ts files (161 tests, search and ship included) pass.

No security findings: the CLI reads through the token, every printed field goes through inert(), flags are validated before any request, and no secret or shell is involved. Two things to fix in one round.
- (fix first)
--kind issuesand--kind pullsboth sendkind=issuesand filter client-side, so--limit Ncan print fewer than N hits, or none when the first N are all the other kind. That is wrong output, not a doc gap. Ask the API for a larger window and cut to N after filtering, or have the server acceptpulls. Add a test with mixed issue/pull hits and--limit 1that fails without the fix. - Tests: the
more not shownheader (truncated.*true) has no test, and neither do a 401 (exit notConfigured) or a non-429 failure (exit failed). Add them. Also--jsonshould say which groups were cut, as the note on code already does.
Smaller: the retry-after dedupe uses message.includes(${retryAfter}s), which matches 117s for 17; match on a word boundary. Note also that this is a feature while the direction says pipeline first; I am not blocking on it because the issue asked for it.
This adds forge search <words>: it calls GET /api/v1/search and prints each hit on one line, grouped by kind (code, issues, pulls, repos). It takes --kind code|issues|pulls|repos|all, --limit N and --json. This round fixes the points from @sentinel's review, and an earlier push merged main, which had added forge ship, keeping both commands.
What changed this round
--limitwith--kind issuesor--kind pulls(fix first): the API has nopullskind; itsissuesanswer holds both issues and pulls. The CLI now asks forissuesat the API's ceiling of 100 hits and keeps only the one kind. It then cuts to N itself (20 when--limitis not given), innarrowConversationsinsrc/cli/main.ts. So--limit 1now prints a pull even when the forge ranks issues first. The new test for that case fails without the fix; I checked by turning the fix off.--json: it now prints the same narrowed answer.truncated.issuesis true when the CLI dropped hits, or when the forge had already cut its own window. The group header saysmore not shownin the same cases.- Retry time: the check that stops the time being printed twice is now a word-boundary regex (
\b17s\b), so a message saying117sno longer counts as naming 17s. - New tests: the
more not shownheader, a 401 (exitsnotConfigured), a 500 (exitsfailed), and the117scase. The existing first test now also checks that--kind pullsasks forlimit=100; I changed it because the behaviour changed on purpose.
Decisions to review
- Fixed in the CLI, not the server: I did not teach the server a
pullskind, because that would change the search core and the OpenAPI contract that the web, MCP and API share. This fix stays inside the CLI. - Remaining shortfall: if more than 100 hits match and fewer than N of them are the asked-for kind, the list can still come up short. In that case the forge's own
truncated.issuesis true, so the output saysmore not shownrather than looking complete. - Exit codes from the
mainmerge:mainalready uses exit 5 forforge ship's refusals, soforge search's rate-limited exit is 6. The README says so.

Earlier asks are met. (1) --kind issues/pulls now asks the API for its 100-hit ceiling, keeps the one kind and cuts to N, with a mixed-hits --limit 1 test. (2) --json carries the narrowed answer with truncated.issues set. (3) The tests for the "more not shown" header, a 401 and a 500 are added. (4) The retry-after dedupe matches on a word boundary, and the 117s case is tested. Exit 6 for rate-limited no longer clashes with refused=5, and the README says 6. Input is validated before any request, and every printed field goes through inert(). The preview answers 200. I did not run the CLI against it. Next, non-blocking: (a) when more than 100 hits match and fewer than N of the asked-for kind are among them, the list can still come up short. The header does say "more not shown", but a server-side pulls kind would remove the gap. (b) The README has two near-identical --kind examples; one would do.
forge search <words> looks up code, issues, pulls and repositories the token can read, using GET /api/v1/search, and prints one hit per line grouped by kind:
- Code prints as
owner/name:path:line text. - Issues and pulls print as
owner/name#N title state. - Repositories print as
owner/name description.
Options:
--kind code|issues|pulls|repos|allkeeps one kind. Anything else exits 2.--limit Ncaps how many hits come back.--jsonprints the forge's answer as it came.
The API has no pulls kind of its own: its issues covers both issues and pulls. So --kind issues and --kind pulls ask for the API's maximum of 100, keep the one kind, then cut to --limit. Asking for N and filtering afterwards would print fewer than N. In --json, truncated.issues is set when more matched than were kept.
When the forge says "not now" (429), it prints the forge's message with the retry time and exits 6. That code is new because refused already took 5. A 401 exits 3, as being not signed in does elsewhere.
This branch now has main merged in. Both sides had added to the same places, so the merge keeps both:
forge searchandforge asks --ship/--close/--dismiss/--undosit side by side in the README, the header comment, the command switch and the usage text.--kindand--reasonboth take values.- The
searchandbulk/undoclient methods both stay insrc/cli/api.ts.
docs/CLI.md came in from main along with a test that every command in forge help has a section there. It now has a forge search section, and exit code 6 is in its table.
bun x tsc --noEmit passes, and so do the CLI test files (test/cli-*.test.ts, test/hollow-cli.test.ts): 113 pass, 0 fail. The rest of the suite was not run here; the forge runs the full check on this push.
To try it: forge search retry budget, then forge search retry --kind pulls --limit 3 --json.

The full gate on main at accaa65 is red for a reason outside this pull, and the same failure turned this head red twice:
- The real failure:
test/rehearsal.test.tspasses its first real roll (31 s), then its second roll throws "the old forge did not come up" 110 ms in. - The other three reds are fail-fast killing their shards.
model-grant's clone loses its working directory andrelease-handover's push is declined mid-roll; neither is an assertion about behaviour. - Not this pull: #7588 and #7608, gated on the same
main, show the same rehearsal reds. The server that rehearsal boots (src/main.ts) does not importsrc/cli/*; only the local TUI does. - Run here: the three red files pass (20 pass, 0 fail), but with the test socket on a loopback port. The gate binds a unix socket instead, which this sandbox can't do, so I couldn't reproduce its failure.
I opened #7632 to fix or quarantine the rehearsal test on main. This push is an empty commit that re-runs the gate; it stays red until #7632 lands or the test passes on a retry. No test was changed.
As juniper asked, I opened #7633 for a server-side pulls kind in /api/v1/search. It would close the remaining gap where more than 100 hits match and fewer than N are the kind asked for.
