Fourth in the stack, on top of #927. The spec gained groups there; this is the authoring surface, per the canonicality rule — spec first, then the derive lowers into it.

#[derive(Cli)]
#[usage(bin = "ex")]
#[usage(group("input", required))]
struct Ex {
    #[usage(long, group = "input")]
    file: Option<String>,
    #[usage(long, group = "input")]
    url: Option<String>,
}

Membership on the field, properties on the struct — and the struct line can be left out entirely when the group is a plain "at most one", which is the common case and should not need saying twice. Properties are named rather than assigned (required, not required = true), matching how long, global and count are already written.

Compile errors, not silent no-ops

  • A group with one member. That is a statement about that flag and belongs on the flag, as required or requires.
  • A group(...) declaration no field joins.

Both name the group in the message.

Defaults, the same way usage-lib reads them

Exclusivity counts what was supplied; requiredness asks whether a member ended up with a value. A group whose member has a default therefore generates no requiredness check at all — it could never fail — decided at compile time, as requires is. a_group_reaches_the_emitted_spec_and_usage_lib_agrees parses the derive's own KDL back with usage-lib and checks the two agree, which is what makes the emitted spec a definition rather than a summary.

New surface in usage-argv

GroupMeta, cold like the rest of the metadata, and Error::MissingGroup, which carries the members as members rather than as a rendered sentence — a caller rendering its own errors needs the list, and so will a completion that answers what would satisfy this. It fits inside Error's existing 40 bytes, so the hot path's Result is unchanged. Rendered in the diagnostics feature in clap's shape for a required group.

One deliberate gap

gen-shadow counts a group as dropped in both dialects rather than emitting it. Both could express one — the derive with group(…), clap with ArgGroup — so this is a gap in the shadow generator rather than in either target, and no spec in the fleet declares a group yet. Counted so the report cannot claim to have expressed a whole spec that it did not.

cargo test --all --all-features, clippy --all-targets -D warnings, mise run render and mise run gen-shadow are all clean.

Note

Medium Risk
Changes post-parse validation order and error shapes for multi-flag CLIs; flatten group merging could surprise adopters if group names collide across flattened structs.

Overview
Adds a derive authoring surface for clap-style flag groups — membership via #[usage(group = "input")] on flags and optional #[usage(group("input", required))] on the command — with compile-time rules (≥2 members, no duplicate declarations, no empty names).

Post-parse checks treat exclusivity as “was it supplied?” and required groups as “does it have a value?” (defaults skip requiredness, matching usage-lib). Group conflicts run before MissingGroup, including across flattened children.

usage-argv gains GroupMeta, concat_group_metas for flatten (with duplicate-name rejection), Error::MissingGroup, KDL group nodes, and diagnostics that list members with full flag spelling (e.g. --file <PATH>).

Conformance tests cover enforcement, emitted KDL round-tripping through usage-lib, and flatten group order at the flattened field. gen-shadow only counts group as unsupported for now.

All three findings were real; fixed and tested.

Flatten omitted a flattened struct's group from the spec (@cursor Bugbot, High) — the worst of the three, because it split behaviour from the definition: the child's check runs, so the group was enforced on the parent command, while the emitted KDL described a CLI without it. Docs, completions, and usage-lib would all have disagreed with the running program.

usage-argv gains concat_group_metas, and the parent joins <Child as CommandArgs>::META.groups the way it already joins the child's flags and their metadata — at compile time, so nothing is assembled to start a parse. a_flattened_structs_group_is_enforced_and_emitted asserts both halves now: the constraint holds at runtime, and it is in the KDL that usage-lib parses back.

Duplicate group declarations (@greptile-apps P1) — first-match-wins meant a second #[usage(group("input", multiple))] was accepted and its properties silently dropped, so a required could be written and never enforced. A compile error now, naming the group. The same test covers the neighbouring cases: a group of one flag, a declaration no field joins, and group on a positional.

Stale groups after flag replacement (@greptile-apps P1) — correct, and it belonged one PR down since it is spec-level rather than derive-level, so it is fixed in #927 as fix(spec): a group does not outlive the flags it names. Groups travel with the flags they name, including when the replacement declares none — which was exactly the broken case, since the non-empty check let the stale set survive precisely when there was nothing to replace it with.

Thanks for the thorough write-up — each fix is exactly the right call.

concat_group_metas at compile time is the cleanest approach for the flatten case: it keeps the parent's emitted KDL and its runtime enforcement in lock-step without any runtime assembly cost. The conformance test asserting both halves (constraint holds and appears in the KDL) is exactly what makes this a definition rather than a summary, which is the stated goal.

Moving the stale-groups fix to #927 is also the right boundary — it's a spec-level invariant (groups travel with their flags) that belongs at the layer that owns flag replacement, not at the derive level.

All three original findings are resolved. LGTM.

Instruction counts

Nothing was compared, and so nothing was gated. No series appears on both sides: either the base has no measurements recorded, or the two were measured on different runner classes, which are deliberately not comparable — counts shift between machine types by more than a real regression does.

New, nothing to compare against: markdown on bamboo-v2-ubuntu24.04-x64-30vcpu-24gb-rust1.97.1, startup on bamboo-v2-ubuntu24.04-x64-30vcpu-24gb-rust1.97.1

Only instruction counts gate. Wall clock is shown for context — on identical hardware it moves 4-20% run to run.

Measured by tak — instruction-counted CLI benchmarks, stored in this repository's git notes.

Shadow comparison

Parsing mise use -g node@20 against a shadow of mise's committed spec.
Reported, not gated: the shadow grows as the derive learns to express more, so
what to watch is the ratio rather than either column.

Rebased onto main now that #927 has merged, so this is back to two commits.

One conflict worth noting, from #938 moving the generated items beside the user's types instead of into a module above them: group_meta_table was routing the flattened child's type through in_module, which no longer exists. It names the type directly now, the way the flag and argument tables beside it already do — there is no path left to rewrite. The generated GROUP_METAS stays inside the const _: () = { … } block with everything else, so nothing new lands in the user's namespace.

cargo test --all --all-features, mise run lint, mise run render and mise run gen-shadow are all clean on the rebase.

Pushed fixes for the three findings that were still live against the head.

A parent and a flattened child could both declare the same group name (@greptile-apps P1) — each struct checks only its own members, so one member from either side satisfied neither exclusion, and the emitted KDL carried two group "input" nodes saying different things. Neither expansion can see the other, so it's caught where the joined tables are visible — beside the duplicate-key, duplicate-flag-form and unfillable-argument assertions in Spec::to_kdl, which exist for exactly this class of collision.

Requiredness could answer before a later group's exclusivity (Medium) — emitted as one block per group, an unsatisfied input reported MissingGroup before format noticed it had been given two members, and before a flattened child's conflicts ran at all. Two passes now: every exclusivity check, then every requiredness one, which is the order the rest of check already promises. a_conflict_answers_before_an_unsatisfied_group_does pins it.

A group could still end up nameless (Low) — group("") on the struct was refused while two fields saying group = "" formed the same nameless group by the back door.

The fourth, duplicate group declarations dropping the second one's properties, was already fixed before the comment was posted — the compile error and its test are in the commit below this one.

All three fixes look solid from the diff.

The duplicate_group_name check in Spec::to_kdl is the right place — it's where the joined tables from both expansions are visible, mirroring duplicate_flag_form and unfillable_arg exactly. The sort + window approach is clean and handles arbitrarily many groups without nested iteration.

The two-pass ordering in post_binding is also correct: group_exclusivity_checks lands immediately after conflict_checks, group_required_checks lands after flattened_checks — so a later group's exclusivity fires before an earlier group's requiredness, and before any flattened child's checks too. a_conflict_answers_before_an_unsatisfied_group_does covers the exact scenario that was broken.

The empty-name field path check closes the last gap cleanly. group("") on the struct and group = "" on a field now both reject at the same stage with a message pointing at the offending location.

Rebased onto main, which had moved twelve commits ahead.

One thing the rebase needed beyond replaying: conformance/src/tables.rs arrived on main while this was open, and it builds a CommandMeta field by field — so the groups this branch adds to that struct left it one short. Filled the same way the neighbouring lists are, with each selector leaked on its own.

Also fixed @coderabbitai's group-ordering finding, which was a real inconsistency rather than a nit: the flag and argument tables are built by walking the fields and flushing at each flattened field, so a child's table splices in where the field was written. Groups were the one table appending instead, so a group declared below a flattened field came out above the ones that field carried — visible in the emitted KDL, and so in the docs. Now built the same way.

mise run ci passes end to end, Go included.

jdx and others added 8 commits August 17, 2026 19:37
The spec gained groups in the previous commit; this is the authoring surface for
them, per the canonicality rule — spec first, then the derive lowers into it.

Membership goes on the field and the two properties on the struct:

    #[usage(group("input", required))]
    struct Ex {
        #[usage(long, group = "input")]
        file: Option<String>,
        #[usage(long, group = "input")]
        url: Option<String>,
    }

The struct line can be left out entirely when the group is a plain "at most one",
which is the common case and should not need saying twice. Properties are named
rather than assigned — `required`, not `required = true` — because that is how
`long`, `global` and `count` are already written, and a property that is only
ever on or off is said by naming it.

Two things are compile errors rather than rules that quietly hold for nothing: a
group with one member, which is a statement about that flag and belongs on the
flag, and a declaration no field joins. Both name the group in the message.

The checks read a default the way usage-lib does, which is the whole point of the
spec being the definition: exclusivity counts what was supplied, requiredness
asks whether a member ended up with a value. A group whose member has a default
therefore generates no requiredness check at all — it could never fail — decided
at compile time, as `requires` is.

`usage-argv` gains `GroupMeta`, cold like the rest of the metadata, and
`Error::MissingGroup`, which carries the members as members rather than as a
rendered sentence: a caller rendering its own errors needs the list, and so will
a completion that answers what would satisfy this. It fits inside `Error`'s
existing 40 bytes, so the hot path's `Result` is unchanged.

`gen-shadow` counts a `group` as dropped in both dialects. Both could express one
— the derive with `group(…)`, clap with `ArgGroup` — so it is a gap in the shadow
generator rather than in either target, and no spec in the fleet declares one yet.
Counted so the report cannot claim to have expressed a whole spec that it did not.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…orced in

Two from review of the derive surface.

**Flatten dropped a group from the emitted spec.** A flattened struct's flags are
joined into the parent's tables and its `check` runs, so a group declared inside
it is *enforced* on the parent command — and the group metadata was not joined,
so the emitted KDL described a CLI without a rule the CLI applies. Docs,
completions and usage-lib would all have disagreed with the running program,
which is exactly the drift the spec-as-definition rule exists to prevent.
`concat_group_metas` joins them the way `concat_flag_metas` already joins the
flags, at compile time, and the conformance test asserts both halves: the
constraint holds, and it is in the KDL usage-lib parses back.

**Two declarations of one group** were read first-match-wins, so the second one's
`required` was written and never enforced. A compile error now, naming the group.

The third finding — a mount replacing a command's flags leaving stale groups —
was about the spec rather than the derive, and is fixed in the commit below it.

Three from review of the group surface.

**A parent and a flattened child could both declare `input`.** Each struct checks
only its own members, so one member from either side satisfied neither exclusion,
and the emitted KDL carried two `group "input"` nodes saying different things.
Neither expansion can see the other, so it is caught where the joined tables are
visible — beside the duplicate-key, duplicate-flag-form and unfillable-argument
assertions in `Spec::to_kdl`, which exist for exactly this class of collision.

**Requiredness could answer before a later group's exclusivity.** Emitted as one
block per group, an unsatisfied `input` reported `MissingGroup` before `format`
noticed it had been given two members — and before a flattened child's conflicts
ran at all. Two passes now: every exclusivity check, then every requiredness one,
which is the order the rest of `check` already promises. What the user typed wrong
is more useful than what they left out.

**A group could still end up nameless.** `group("")` on the struct was refused and
two fields saying `group = ""` formed the same nameless group by the back door.

The fourth finding — duplicate group declarations dropping the second one's
properties — was already fixed before it was posted; the compile error and its
test are in the commit under this one.

`conformance/src/tables.rs` arrived on main while this branch was open, and it
builds a `CommandMeta` field by field — so the `groups` this branch adds to that
struct left it one short. Filled the same way the neighbouring lists are, with
each selector leaked on its own: a group names flags in selector form, and the
metadata holds them that way.

…tten

The group metadata put every group this struct declares before every group a
flattened field brought in, whatever order the fields were written in. So a group
declared *below* a flattened field came out above the ones that field carried,
and the emitted KDL — which is what docs and anything reading the spec go by —
disagreed with the source.

Built in one walk over the fields now, flushing the run of local groups at each
flattened field and splicing the child's in there. That is how the flag and
argument tables beside it are already built, and for the same reason; groups were
the one table not following it.

A group whose members straddle a flattened field keeps its whole member list and
sits where its *first* member was written, which is the order `declared_groups`
already establishes.

Stacked on #934. Next item down the clap-parity list in PLAN.md, and the
last of the "sets of flags" group.

```kdl
flag "--dump" exclusive=#true
```

```rust
#[usage(long, exclusive)]
dump: bool,
```

`--version`, `--dump-config`: asking for one means the rest of the
command line has nothing to act on. The spec could say a flag conflicts
with *named* other flags, and had no way to say it conflicts with
everything — nor any way to put a positional on either side of a
conflict, since a selector names a flag.

### Why it is not a group of everything

Enforced against everything the command declares, **positionals
included**. That is the part `conflicts` and `group` structurally cannot
express: both name flags. `ex --dump t` is refused, and that is the case
worth having.

Only what was supplied counts, the rule `conflicts` already follows. A
flag with a `default` standing beside an exclusive one is nobody saying
anything — counting it would make the exclusive flag unusable on any
command that has a default, which is most of them.

### The bridge carries this one

Unlike `requires` in #925, `Arg::is_exclusive_set` is public, so a CLI
that already declares this in clap keeps it on the way through rather
than silently losing it. Both `gen-shadow` dialects write it as well,
since clap and the derive can each say it — no new entry in the
dropped-properties report.

### Tests

- `exclusive_round_trips_and_comes_across_from_clap` — the KDL both
ways, and the bridge
- `an_exclusive_flag_has_to_be_alone` — usage-lib and the derive, each
covering the other-flag case *and* the positional case
- `an_exclusive_flag_is_not_disturbed_by_a_default` — the rule above,
which is the one a future change is most likely to get wrong

`cargo test --all --all-features`, `mise run lint`, `mise run render`
and `mise run gen-shadow` are clean.

<!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY -->
---

> [!NOTE]
> **Medium Risk**
> Touches core post-parse validation in both the spec parser and
derive-generated `check`, including subtle global-flag merge and
env/default interactions; mistakes could break parsing or wrongly skip
or enforce requirements.
> 
> **Overview**
> Adds **`exclusive`** for flags (KDL `exclusive=#true`, derive
`#[usage(exclusive)]`) so a flag like `--dump` or `--version` must be
the only input on the invocation—**other flags, positionals, and
selecting a subcommand all count as company**. Defaults do not;
env-supplied values do.
> 
> **Spec & bridges:** `FlagMeta` / `SpecFlag` gain `exclusive`; KDL
round-trips; clap import uses `is_exclusive_set`; conformance tables and
`gen-shadow` emit it.
> 
> **usage-lib parser:** Post-parse validation tracks which spellings
activated each flag, resolves child vs ancestor exclusivity on merged
globals without merging the `exclusive` bool, diagnoses companions, and
treats an active exclusive as a **requiredness escape** (like clap)
while still rejecting invalid combinations.
> 
> **usage-derive:** Refactors post-binding into `apply_defaults` /
`apply_env` plus new `CommandArgs`/`Subcommands` hooks (`any_given`,
`exclusive_given`, …) so exclusivity works across flattened `Args` and
subcommands; exclusive suppresses sibling required checks but not
flattened defaults.
> 
> Docs and broad conformance tests cover flatten, globals, env, and
alias redeclaration scenarios.
