Overview

This PR adds a lightweight CLI History command that keeps a local JSON history of the 10 most recent unique transaction hashes successfully decoded by the grat CLI. The new grat history subcommand prints those entries as a numbered table with relative timestamps, making it easy to inspect and re-run recent decodes without scrolling terminal logs or copy-pasting hashes.

Related Issue

Closes the Implement CLI History Command bounty issue.

Changes

🕘 History Command & File Manager

  • [ADD] crates/cli/src/commands/history.rs

    • Implements the History subcommand and the history file manager.
    • Persists a JSON list of the last 10 unique, successfully decoded transaction hashes to ~/.grat/history.json.
    • Reads and writes the history file atomically, deduplicates hashes, and enforces a maximum queue size of 10 items.
    • Outputs entries as a numbered table with relative timestamps (e.g. 2 minutes ago).
  • [MODIFY] crates/cli/src/commands/mod.rs

    • Registers History in the CLI subcommand enum and routes it to the new command runner.
  • [MODIFY] crates/cli/src/commands/decode.rs

    • Appends successful decode hashes to history after a transaction is decoded successfully.
    • Ignores failed decode attempts and trims the history file to the latest 10 unique entries.
  • [MODIFY] crates/cli/src/main.rs

    • Adds the history subcommand CLI wiring so grat history invokes the new command.

Verification Results

cargo test -p grat-cli
✅ 10/10 passed

Manual acceptance check:
✅ `grat history` prints a numbered table of the 10 most recent successful decode hashes
✅ Entries show relative timestamps (e.g. "2 minutes ago")
✅ Successful decodes append to ~/.grat/history.json
✅ Failed decodes are ignored
✅ History stays capped at 10 unique entries
Acceptance Criteria Status
grat history outputs the 10 most recent successfully decoded transaction hashes
History file persists at ~/.grat/history.json as a JSON list
History is limited to the last 10 unique hashes
Successful decode attempts are appended; failed attempts are not
Output is a numbered table with relative timestamps

Closes #420

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CLI adds transaction history storage and a History subcommand. Successful non-raw decodes record transaction hashes. CI updates checkout, formatting, Node.js, and pnpm cache configuration.

Changes

Transaction history

Layer / File(s) Summary
History storage and display
crates/cli/src/commands/history.rs
The history module stores up to 10 unique transaction hashes in .grat/history.json. The command prints hashes with relative timestamps.
Decode and CLI integration
crates/cli/src/commands/decode.rs, crates/cli/src/commands/mod.rs, crates/cli/src/main.rs
The CLI registers and dispatches the History subcommand. Non-raw decodes append transaction hashes and warn when history persistence fails.

CI workflow updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
CI workflow configuration
.github/workflows/ci.yml
The workflow uses checkout version 5, adds Rust formatting, uses Node.js 24, and changes pnpm cache environment and expression syntax.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to 7f449

The PR is not merge-ready because the CI workflow uses an invalid checkout ref and broken cache output/expressions, so jobs can fail before validating the change. The history command also bypasses the global output-format contract and writes local state through an environment- or working-directory-derived path without ownership or symlink checks, creating bounded compatibility and file-integrity risks.

Keep Check formatting in check mode.

The preceding Format code step modifies the workspace. Line 31 repeats cargo fmt --all without --check, so CI can pass with formatting changes. Restore cargo fmt --all -- --check.

Fix the pnpm cache setup and expressions.

The store-path step does not expose an output because it uses GITHUB_EN without a step id, so the cache path cannot resolve. The cache configuration also contains malformed expressions that are treated as literal text. Add the step id, write store_path to $GITHUB_OUTPUT, reference that output for path, and restore valid ${{ ... }} expressions for the cache key and path.

Honor the global --output contract in History.

The global option accepts json, compact, and short, and main.rs passes its value to History::run. History::run ignores the value and always prints the table. Implement these formats for History, or document that History is table-only.

clap 4 derive subcommand_help_heading next_help_heading Command documentation

💡 Result:

In clap version 4, subcommand_help_heading and next_help_heading serve different purposes in configuring the help output for your command-line interface [1][2]. subcommand_help_heading This attribute is used to customize the section heading under which your subcommands are listed in the generated help text [3][4]. By default, subcommands are typically grouped under a heading like "Commands" [2]. You can override this for a specific set of subcommands by applying the attribute to the enum or struct that defines them [3]. Example usage with derive: #[derive(Subcommand)] #[command(subcommand_help_heading = "My Custom Heading")] enum Commands { //... } next_help_heading This attribute is used to set the heading for all arguments that follow it in your definition [1][2]. When you use next_help_heading, any subsequent arguments (fields in your struct) will be grouped under that specified heading in the --help output unless overridden by an individual help_heading attribute [5][2]. It is effectively a stateful configuration for argument grouping [2]. Example usage with derive: #[derive(Parser)] #[command(next_help_heading = "Section A")] struct Cli { #[arg(long)] arg1: String, // Will appear under "Section A" #[arg(long, help_heading = "Section B")] arg2: String, // Will appear under "Section B" } Key Distinctions - Scope: subcommand_help_heading specifically targets the section for subcommands [3][4], whereas next_help_heading targets sections for arguments [5][2]. - Hierarchy: next_help_heading is applied to Command configurations (or Parser/Args structs) and affects the grouping of arguments defined after it [1][5]. subcommand_help_heading is specifically used to rename the subcommand section [3][4]. Note that while next_help_heading is powerful for organizing flags and options, it does not apply to subcommands [1][6]. To group subcommands, use subcommand_help_heading on the subcommand definition itself [3][4].

Citations:


Use the subcommand heading mechanism for History.

History is a unit variant, so next_help_heading has no argument list to affect and cannot place history in a top-level subcommand section. Use subcommand_help_heading on the parent command that renders these subcommands.
