What changed and why

This pull request updates the advisory sync CLI to improve its JSON output handling and progress log reporting. It ensures that when the --json option is used, all relevant result information is output as a single JSON object, and progress logs are suppressed. The tests are also updated to validate this new behavior.

CLI Output and Logging Improvements

• Changed progress log suppression logic to only suppress logs when both the output is not a TTY and --json is not set, ensuring that JSON output is clean and not mixed with progress logs (src/cli/advisories-sync.ts).
• When --json is set, the CLI now outputs a single JSON object with advisoryCount, dbPath, sourceUrl, and warnings, then exits early to avoid further logging (src/cli/advisories-sync.ts).

Test Updates

• Updated tests to check that when --json is used, only the expected JSON output is produced and it contains the correct fields and warnings; otherwise, the usual progress and warning messages are present (tests/cli/advisories-sync.test.ts).

Closes #1654

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • JSON mode now outputs a structured sync summary with the advisory count, database location, source, and any warnings.
• Bug Fixes
  • JSON mode no longer mixes progress events with the summary, making its output easier to parse.
  • Plain-text output continues to show cleanup warnings and the sync-completion message.

JSON mode now suppresses progress output and prints a structured result after a successful advisory sync. Plain-text mode continues to show the cleanup warning and sync completion message.

Changes: Advisory sync output

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Progress and completion output src/cli/advisories-sync.ts, tests/cli/advisories-sync.test.ts	JSON mode suppresses progress events and prints the advisory count, database path, source URL, and warnings after a successful sync. Tests check the JSON result and the plain-text warning and completion message.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It has the "What changed and why" section with a clear summary of the CLI and test changes. It also includes the "Closes #1654" line, which links the linked issue. The template placeholder comment remains in the text, but the required content is present. The description is mostly complete.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

I checked the whole-PR diff from merge base bd4b051 to head b35610c for issue #1654. The issue reports two defects in --json mode. First, warnings were dropped. Second, progress lines were printed as raw text. The head code fixes both. When options.json is set, the onProgress callback returns early, so no raw progress text is printed. When options.json is set, the function builds one JSON object with advisoryCount, dbPath, sourceUrl, and warnings (result.warnings ?? []), prints it, and returns. The warnings now appear in that object. The logWarn path runs only in non-JSON mode. The usePlainProgressLogs change (!isTTY && !json) keeps plain logs for non-TTY, non-JSON runs. The tests file was not inspected, so I rely on the summary for the test updates. The issue does not require specific tests. The spinner created in JSON mode is not explicitly stopped on the JSON return path. I did not verify createSpinner behavior under json, so this is a minor open point and not a requirement failure.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The source change touches only src/cli/advisories-sync.ts. Every hunk relates to the JSON output and progress-log behavior described in #1654. The test file change, as summarized, checks JSON output and plain-text warnings and completion messages. That work supports the same objective. I found no unrelated changes in the diff I inspected.

Full details: Linked Issue

Explanation

I checked the pull request description for an issue reference. It contains "Closes #1654", which uses one of the accepted keywords (Closes, Fixes, Resolves, Refs) followed by an issue number. The check passes. The linked issue is #1654, "[Bug] advisories sync prints plain text and drops warnings in --json mode." It is marked as a direct link in the linked-issue context. The reference is in the PR body, so the check does not depend on the title or the commit message. For users, this means the change should close the bug where advisories sync --json dropped warnings and printed progress text. I did not verify the code behavior, because this check only tests the body reference.

Full details: Closes Keyword Matches Scope

Explanation

The PR body uses Closes #1654, so this check applies. I read the issue from the supplied linked-issue context, because live issue lookup is not available in this run. Issue #1654 asks for two things: 1. In --json mode, warnings must not be dropped by logWarn. 2. In --json mode, progress lines must not print as raw text. Output must be structured JSON. The diff in src/cli/advisories-sync.ts delivers both: - Progress suppression: onProgress now returns early when options.json is set (line 23). usePlainProgressLogs is now !process.stdout.isTTY && !options.json (line 18). No raw progress text reaches stdout in JSON mode. - Warnings: a JSON branch (lines 43-57) prints one object with advisoryCount, dbPath, sourceUrl, and warnings: result.warnings ?? []. It returns before the logWarn loop, so warnings appear in the JSON payload. - Structured output: the single JSON.stringify(..., null, 2) call is the only stdout output in JSON mode on the success path. The test change in tests/cli/advisories-sync.test.ts checks the JSON case. It expects one parsed message that holds the count, the database path, and the cleanup warning. No item from #1654 is missing, so merging with Closes is acceptable.

Full details: No New Runtime Dependency

Explanation

I checked this PR for new runtime dependencies. The changed-file list has two files: src/cli/advisories-sync.ts and tests/cli/advisories-sync.test.ts. package.json is not in the diff, so it does not gain a dependency. I also compared the dependencies, optionalDependencies, and devDependencies blocks at the base and head refs. They are identical. optionalDependencies is empty in both. No package moved from devDependencies to dependencies. The check passes. For users, this PR changes only the CLI output. With --json, advisories sync now prints one JSON object with advisoryCount, dbPath, sourceUrl, and warnings. Progress logs stay out of JSON mode. The dependency footprint does not change.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title uses the required "fix(cli): " form, which matches the allowed type list and lowercase rule. It has no trailing period. It describes the main change: JSON output with warnings in advisories sync. The title uses "type(scope): description" while the requirement specifies "type: short description". The scope is an extra element, so the title does not match the exact form. The type, casing, and trailing period rules are met.

Resolution

Remove the scope so the title reads "fix: emit json output with warnings in advisories sync". Keep the rest of the title unchanged.
