@zioladev/cli

The ziola command — the front door to Ziola's WebMCP interoperability stack.

npx @zioladev/cli demo

That's it. No account, no API key, no network, no setup — a zero-config reference demonstration that runs a real multi-provider trajectory through the published Ziola runtime, produces genuine provider-conformance-report/2 evidence, and qualifies it through the published Ziola qualification engine — then shows you the whole story.

What it is

A thin client + local runner over the published Ziola packages. It invokes the engines; it never reimplements them. Local commands are free and offline; hosted commands talk to qualify.ziola.dev.

TRY                  ziola demo  [--details]
USE LOCALLY          ziola qualify <evidence.json> --profile <id>  [--details]
USE HOSTED           ziola submit  <evidence.json> --profile <id>  [--details]
INSPECT HOSTED       ziola qualification <id>  [--details | --events]

Commands

ziola demo

Zero-config, no key, no network. Runs a reference multi-provider trajectory (cafe → gallery) through @zioladev/interop-runtime, qualifies the resulting evidence through @zioladev/interop-conformance, and renders providers · per-leg execution · terminal objective · qualification · fault attribution:

Ziola reference demo

Trajectory
  cafe → gallery

Providers
  cafe, gallery

Execution
1. order_latte
   ✓ executed
   Provider: PASS

2. check_design_drift
   ✓ executed
   Provider: PASS

Terminal objective
   ✓ attained

Qualification
   Profile: trajectory/multi-provider-reference@1
   Result: QUALIFIED

Fault attribution
   none

This demo uses Ziola's published runtime and qualification engine
against deterministic reference providers. It is a reference
demonstration, not evidence of universal compatibility.

Add --details for the full rigor view — the same evidence, with every profile requirement's verdict and the evidence lineage, so the "why" is visible without producing an evidence file of your own:

… (trajectory / execution / qualification as above) …

Requirements
   Provider count                  HELD
   Terminal requirements           HELD
   Ordered trajectory              HELD
   Provider conformance            HELD
   Carried-state provenance        HELD
   Provider-owned failures         NONE

Evidence
   Reports:       1
   Bundle hash:   01d8d7d7
   Profile:       @1

Evidence lineage
   reference-runtime/1
     report: ad6f2ce8

The demo generates genuine evidence on every run, so the bundle and report hashes differ run to run — the qualification is computed live, never canned.

ziola qualify <evidence.json> --profile <id>

Local, free, offline. Qualifies an existing evidence bundle with the published @zioladev/interop-conformance — no key, no server. It shows not just the outcome but the reasoned per-requirement result and attribution, so you can see whose layer caused a failure without charging the provider for someone else's:

Ziola Qualification

Profile: trajectory/multi-provider-native@1
Result: NOT QUALIFIED

Requirements
  held      providerGrade            [native-browser-lane]
  failed    terminalAttained         [native-browser-lane]
  held      trajectoryConformance    [native-browser-lane]

Attribution
  model_tool_selection

Provider nonconformance: false

ziola submit <evidence.json> --profile <id>

Hosted. Submits to qualify.ziola.dev, polls the asynchronous service to a terminal state, and renders the durable result. Requires ZIOLA_API_KEY. (This is the hosted path — it never silently falls back to local qualification.)

ziola qualification <id> · ziola qualification <id> --events

Retrieve a durable hosted qualification, or its ordered VI-D operational trail (how the distributed service produced the result — a separate truth from what the result is). Requires ZIOLA_API_KEY.

--details

qualify, submit, and qualification accept --details for the reasoned view between the concise default and raw --json: the outcome, then why — per-requirement verdicts (with friendly labels), the requirements that were actually disqualifying (attribution), the evidence manifest, and the evidence lineage (which runtime lane each report came from). It reads the bound result; it never recomputes it.

--json

All commands accept --json and emit the engine/server response verbatim — no decorative prose, no CLI-specific report schema.

The Ziola stack (ziola --help)

Provider Declaration             @zioladev/provider-tools
Provider Conformance             @zioladev/provider-conformance
Interoperability Runtime         @zioladev/interop-runtime
Interoperability Qualification   @zioladev/interop-conformance
Execution Control                @zioladev/execution-control

Exit codes

| code | meaning | |---|---| | 0 | qualified | | 1 | not_qualified | | 2 | insufficient_evidence | | 3 | service / network / authentication / CLI error |

Retrieval commands return 0 on success, 3 on error. Stable and deterministic — a CI job can gate a release on ziola qualify (local) or ziola submit (hosted).

Hosted gate (npm run gate)

One command that proves the live distributed service end to end, for when a plain demo isn't enough:

export ZIOLA_API_KEY=…      # your service credential
npm run gate

It generates fresh evidence each run (a novel bundle hash, so it never lands idempotently on an old record), then proves five things in order and prints a pass/fail transcript:

1  Submit fresh evidence         ✓  202 accepted
2  Qualify to terminal           ✓  completed · QUALIFIED
3  Durable retrieval by id       ✓  <uuid>
4  Idempotent re-submit          ✓  same id returned
5  Operational trail             ✓  accepted → claimed → completed

It reuses the CLI's own HTTP client — the exact path ziola takes — so a green gate is a statement about the shipped client, not a bespoke script. Exit 0 if every check holds, 1 otherwise (e.g. an empty operational trail fails the gate rather than passing quietly).

Configuration (hosted commands only)

| variable | purpose | |---|---| | ZIOLA_API_KEY | required for submit / qualification. No interactive login, no token file, no persistence. | | ZIOLA_BASE_URL | optional — override the service URL (default https://qualify.ziola.dev). |

demo and qualify need neither. If a hosted command is missing the key it fails before any request, and the key is never printed. A 429 surfaces the server's Retry-After honestly.

Integrity rules

• Invokes, never reimplements. Depends on the published @zioladev/interop-runtime and @zioladev/interop-conformance and calls them as-is — it reproduces no runtime or qualification logic.
• demo is reference-only. Deterministic reference providers on the in-process reference lane: no real models, browsers, WebMCP runtime, network, or credentials. Labeled a reference demonstration, never a claim of universal compatibility.
• Three states preserved. qualified / not_qualified / insufficient_evidence stay distinct.
• Domain vs operational truth stay separate. The qualification resource and the operational history are different resources and different output.
• Hosted result is authoritative. submit never reinterprets an outcome and never silently qualifies locally when the service is unavailable — it fails.
• No proprietary logic. Knows nothing of how execution-control decisions are derived; imports nothing proprietary.

Scope (v0.1)

demo · local qualify · hosted submit · hosted qualification(+--events), against an already-produced evidence bundle. Not included: evidence generation beyond the reference demo, provider discovery, live WebMCP/--native execution, model adapters, accounts, billing, interactive login, dashboards, a GitHub Action, custom profiles, streaming, or webhooks — each earned by real need.
