# ⚔️ Falyx
**Falyx** is a resilient, introspectable CLI framework for building robust, asynchronous command-line workflows with:
- ✅ Modular action chaining and rollback
- 🔁 Built-in retry handling
- ⚙️ Full lifecycle hooks (before, after, success, error, teardown)
- 📊 Execution tracing, logging, and introspection
- 🧙‍♂️ Async-first design with Process support
- 🧩 Extensible CLI menus and customizable output
> Built for developers who value *clarity*, *resilience*, and *visibility* in their terminal workflows.
---
## ✨ Why Falyx?
Modern CLI tools deserve the same resilience as production systems. Falyx makes it easy to:
- Compose workflows using `Action`, `ChainedAction`, or `ActionGroup`
- Inject the result of one step into the next (`last_result`)
- Handle flaky operations with retries and exponential backoff
- Roll back safely on failure with structured undo logic
- Add observability with execution timing, result tracking, and hooks
- Run in both interactive or headless (scriptable) modes
- Customize output with Rich `Table`s (grouping, theming, etc.)
---
## 🔧 Installation
```bash
pip install falyx
```
> Or install from source:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourname/falyx.git
cd falyx
poetry install
```
---
## ⚡ Quick Example
```python
from falyx import Action, ChainedAction, Menu
from falyx.hooks import RetryHandler, log_success
async def flaky_step():
import random, asyncio
await asyncio.sleep(0.2)
if random.random() < 0.8:
raise RuntimeError("Random failure!")
return "ok"
retry = RetryHandler()
step1 = Action("Step 1", flaky_step)
step1.hooks.register("on_error", retry.retry_on_error)
step2 = Action("Step 2", flaky_step)
step2.hooks.register("on_error", retry.retry_on_error)
chain = ChainedAction("My Pipeline", [step1, step2])
chain.hooks.register("on_success", log_success)
menu = Menu(title="🚀 Falyx Demo")
menu.add_command("R", "Run My Pipeline", chain)
if __name__ == "__main__":
import asyncio
asyncio.run(menu.run())
```

## 📦 Core Features
- ✅ Async-native `Action`, `ChainedAction`, `ActionGroup`
- 🔁 Retry policies + exponential backoff
- ⛓ Rollbacks on chained failures
- 🎛️ Headless or interactive CLI with argparse and prompt_toolkit
- 📊 Built-in execution registry, result tracking, and timing
- 🧠 Supports `ProcessAction` for CPU-bound workloads
- 🧩 Custom `Table` rendering for CLI menu views
- 🔍 Hook lifecycle: `before`, `on_success`, `on_error`, `after`, `on_teardown`

## 🔍 Execution Trace
```bash
[2025-04-14 10:33:22] DEBUG [Step 1] ⚙ flaky_step()
[2025-04-14 10:33:22] INFO [Step 1] 🔁 Retrying (1/3) in 1.0s...
[2025-04-14 10:33:23] DEBUG [Step 1] ✅ Success | Result: ok
[2025-04-14 10:33:23] DEBUG [My Pipeline] ✅ Result: ['ok', 'ok']
```

## 🧩 Components
| Component | Purpose |
|------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
| `Action` | Single async task with hook + result injection support |
| `ChainedAction` | Sequential task runner with rollback |
| `ActionGroup` | Parallel runner for independent tasks |
| `ProcessAction` | CPU-bound task in a separate process (multiprocessing) |
| `Menu` | CLI runner with toggleable prompt or headless mode |
| `ExecutionContext`| Captures metadata per execution |
| `HookManager` | Lifecycle hook registration engine |
---
## 🧠 Design Philosophy
> “Like a phalanx: organized, resilient, and reliable.”
Falyx is designed for developers who dont just want CLI tools to run — they want them to **fail meaningfully**, **recover gracefully**, and **log clearly**.
---
## 🛣️ Roadmap
- [ ] Retry policy DSL (e.g., `max_retries=3, backoff="exponential"`)
- [ ] Metrics export (Prometheus-style)
- [ ] Plugin system for menu extensions
- [ ] Native support for structured logs + log forwarding
- [ ] Web UI for interactive execution history (maybe!)
