  • Graceful handling when no LLM provider is configured

Why

  • Enables error diagnosis on fresh systems
  • Avoids forcing users to install LLM SDKs
  • Matches MVP scope discussed in the issue

Example

cortex diagnose "apt install failed with dpkg error"

closes cortexlinux/cortex-pro#2

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a new diagnose CLI subcommand (image/clipboard/text), exports LLMRouter from cortex/cli.py, and extends LLMRouter with diagnose_image() plus a guarded _is_fallback parameter on complete() to support Claude Vision image analysis with a text fallback. Also adds Pillow to dependencies.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Change Summary
CLI: new diagnose subcommand & export
cortex/cli.py
Exported LLMRouter; added diagnose subcommand with --image, --clipboard, --text; main() loads image/clipboard/text, instantiates LLMRouter, calls LLMRouter.diagnose_image() or uses text fallback, prints result and exits.
CLI: duplicated startup/log tweaks
cortex/cli.py
Redundant duplicate sys.path.insert(0, ...) and repeated logger-suppression blocks for httpx/cortex.installation_history; minor console formatting change (removed blank line).
LLM router: image diagnosis & fallback control
cortex/llm_router.py
Added imports (base64, io, dataclasses.asdict); changed complete(..., _is_fallback: bool = False) to guard recursive fallbacks; added diagnose_image(self, image) to encode images, call Claude Vision, and fall back to text-based diagnosis when necessary; adjusted raw_response shaping and docstring wording.
Tests: image diagnose coverage
tests/test_diagnose_image.py
New tests: verify LLMRouter exposes diagnose_image; test_diagnose_image_fallback_without_claude creates an in-memory Pillow image and asserts fallback message when Claude API key is absent.
Dependencies / dev deps
pyproject.toml, requirements.txt, requirements-dev.txt
Added pillow>=9.0.0 to runtime and dev dependencies to support image handling and tests.

Poem

🐇 I nibble pixels, send them off to Claude with care,
If vision's tucked away, I try my fallback dare,
I hop through logs and tidy paths with a twitch and grin,
Return a helpful note, then wiggle my whiskers in.

cortex/cli.py (1)

585-597: Add "diagnose" command to help table.

The help table shows the "notify" command (line 595) but is missing the newly added "diagnose" command. This creates an inconsistency where users won't discover the diagnose feature from the help output.

Apply this diff to add the diagnose command to the help table:

     table.add_row("install <pkg>", "Install software")
+    table.add_row("diagnose <error>", "Diagnose system errors")
     table.add_row("history", "View history")
     table.add_row("rollback <id>", "Undo installation")
     table.add_row("notify", "Manage desktop notifications")
🧹 Nitpick comments (6)
cortex/llm_router.py (2)

132-138: Good implementation of guarded imports for optional dependencies.

The try/except ImportError blocks appropriately handle missing SDK installations, allowing the CLI to function with only the dependencies that are actually needed. The fallback logic at lines 191-203 correctly handles None clients.

Consider enhancing the warning messages with installation hints:

             except ImportError:
                 self.claude_client = None
-                logger.warning("⚠️ anthropic not installed, Claude disabled")
+                logger.warning("⚠️ anthropic not installed, Claude disabled. Install: pip install anthropic")
             except ImportError:
                 self.kimi_client = None
-                logger.warning("⚠️ openai not installed, Kimi disabled")
+                logger.warning("⚠️ openai not installed, Kimi disabled. Install: pip install openai")

Also applies to: 143-152


506-508: Remove excessive trailing blank lines.

PEP 8 recommends a single trailing newline. The extra blank lines should be removed.

Apply this diff:

     stats = router.get_stats()
     print(json.dumps(stats, indent=2))
-    
-    
-    
cortex/cli.py (4)

55-56: Remove excessive blank lines.

As per PEP 8 guidelines, limit blank lines between methods to a maximum of two.

Apply this diff:

         if self.verbose:
             console.print(f"[dim][DEBUG] {message}[/dim]")
-            
-    
+

317-319: Consider providing usage help when error is missing.

When the error parameter is missing, the user might benefit from seeing example usage.

         if not error:
             self._print_error("Please provide an error message to diagnose")
+            cx_print("Example: cortex diagnose 'apt install failed with dpkg error'", "info")
             return 1

347-347: Consider moving import to module level.

The from cortex.llm_router import complete_task, TaskType import is inside a try block within a method. For better code organization and PEP 8 compliance, consider moving it to the module-level imports at the top of the file.

If the import might fail due to missing dependencies, add a guard at the module level:

# At the top of the file, around line 40
try:
    from cortex.llm_router import complete_task, TaskType
    HAS_LLM_ROUTER = True
except ImportError:
    HAS_LLM_ROUTER = False

Then in the diagnose method:

        try:
            if not HAS_LLM_ROUTER:
                raise ImportError("LLM router not available")
            
            response = complete_task(
                prompt=f"Diagnose this Linux error and suggest fixes:\n{error}",
                task_type=TaskType.ERROR_DEBUGGING,
            )

Alternatively, if the import is expected to always succeed when API keys are configured, move it to the top-level imports.


313-313: Remove excessive blank lines around method.

PEP 8 recommends exactly two blank lines between top-level function/method definitions.

Apply this diff:

             return 1
-        
     def diagnose(self, error: Optional[str] = None, image: Optional[str] = None, clipboard: bool = False):
         """Diagnose an error from text input (MVP: text-only)."""
         # ... method body ...
             return 1
-        
-

22-22: Critical: Import error handling is ineffective.

The try/except block at lines 139-145 cannot catch ImportError because line 22 imports anthropic at module level. If the anthropic package is not installed, the module will fail to load immediately at line 22, before the try/except block is ever reached. This breaks the intended offline fallback behavior described in the PR objectives.

🔎 Proposed fix

Move the anthropic import inside the try block and remove the module-level import:

-from anthropic import Anthropic
 from openai import OpenAI
 
 # Configure logging

The import at line 140 inside the try block will then work correctly to provide graceful degradation when anthropic is not installed.

Also applies to: 139-145

cortex/cli.py (1)

7-7: Critical: Missing Optional import causes NameError.

Line 436 uses Optional in type hints, but Optional is not imported from the typing module. This will cause a runtime NameError when the module is loaded.

🔎 Proposed fix

Add Optional to the typing import at line 7:

-from typing import Any
+from typing import Any, Optional

Also applies to: 436-436

♻️ Duplicate comments (3)

448-461: Consider improving offline fallback advice.

The offline fallback provides dpkg/apt-specific advice regardless of the actual error content, which could mislead users encountering unrelated errors. Previous review suggested making the advice more generic or adding basic pattern matching.

Example approach for more generic advice:

if provider == "ollama":
    print("\nDiagnosis:\n")
    print(
        f"Detected error:\n{error}\n\n"
        "⚠️  Offline mode provides general guidance only.\n"
        "For detailed AI-powered diagnosis, configure an API key.\n\n"
        "Common troubleshooting steps:\n"
        "1. Check system logs: journalctl -xe\n"
        "2. Verify package manager state: sudo dpkg --configure -a\n"
        "3. Fix broken dependencies: sudo apt --fix-broken install\n"
        "4. Update package lists: sudo apt update\n"
    )
    return 0

436-437: Address previous feedback: Fix PEP 8 formatting and add complete docstring with return type.

Previous reviews identified that this method signature violates PEP 8 (missing spaces after commas) and lacks a complete docstring with parameter descriptions and return type hint.

As per coding guidelines, docstrings required for all public APIs and type hints required in Python code.

🔎 Proposed fix (from previous review)
-    def diagnose(self,error: Optional[str] = None,image: Optional[str] = None,clipboard: bool = False,):
-        """Diagnose an error from text input (MVP: text-only)."""
+    def diagnose(self, error: Optional[str] = None, image: Optional[str] = None, clipboard: bool = False) -> int:
+        """
+        Diagnose an error from text input (MVP: text-only).
+

+            image: Path to error screenshot (not yet implemented)

+            
+        Returns:
+            Exit code: 0 for success, 1 for failure
+            
+        Note:
+            Image and clipboard support are planned but not yet implemented.
+            Currently only text-based diagnosis is supported.
+        """

439-466: Address previous feedback: Handle unimplemented image/clipboard parameters.

Previous review identified that --image and --clipboard arguments are defined but silently ignored in the diagnose method. This could confuse users attempting to use these flags.

Consider adding early validation:

def diagnose(self, error: Optional[str] = None, image: Optional[str] = None, clipboard: bool = False) -> int:
    """Diagnose an error from text input (MVP: text-only)."""
    
    # Image and clipboard support planned for future release
    if image or clipboard:
        self._print_error("Image and clipboard support not yet implemented")
        cx_print("Currently only text-based diagnosis is supported", "info")
        cx_print("Example: cortex diagnose 'your error message here'", "info")
        return 1
    
    if not error:
        self._print_error("Please provide an error message to diagnose")
        return 1
    # ... rest of implementation

471-471: The str | None syntax is compatible with Python 3.10+, which is the project's minimum supported version. However, note that Optional is still used elsewhere in this file (e.g., line 435), suggesting inconsistent type hint style. Consider standardizing on the modern union syntax across the file.

22-22: Critical: Top-level import conflicts with optional dependency pattern.

The top-level from anthropic import Anthropic at line 22 will raise an ImportError immediately if the anthropic package is not installed, preventing the application from starting. This defeats the purpose of the try/except block at lines 139-145 that attempts to make the anthropic dependency optional.

🔎 Proposed fix

Remove the top-level import and keep only the conditional import:

-from anthropic import Anthropic
 from openai import OpenAI

Then ensure the try/except block correctly handles the import:

         if self.claude_api_key:
             try:
                 from anthropic import Anthropic
                 self.claude_client = Anthropic(api_key=self.claude_api_key)
                 logger.info("✅ Claude API client initialized")
             except ImportError:
                 self.claude_client = None
                 logger.warning("⚠️ anthropic not installed, Claude disabled")

Also applies to: 139-145

22-24: Top-level imports conflict with deferred import strategy.

Lines 22-23 import Anthropic and OpenAI at module load time, which will raise ImportError if those packages aren't installed. This defeats the purpose of the try/except ImportError guards added in __init__ (lines 139-145 and 150-162).

Remove the top-level imports since they're re-imported inside the guarded blocks.

448-461: Offline fallback provides dpkg-specific advice regardless of error type.

The offline fallback always suggests dpkg/apt fixes even for unrelated errors (e.g., network issues, permission errors). Consider making the advice more generic or adding basic pattern matching.

This was noted in a previous review and remains unaddressed.


791-799: Image and clipboard options are declared but not implemented.

The --image and --clipboard arguments are parsed but the diagnose method ignores them. Users who try these flags will get no feedback that the feature isn't available.

Consider adding early validation or updating help text to indicate these are coming soon. This was noted in a previous review.

314-316: PEP 8 formatting and docstring issues may persist.

The method signature appears to still have spacing issues (missing spaces after commas) and lacks a return type hint, despite past reviews marking these as addressed. The docstring also lacks parameter and return value documentation.

If these issues were resolved in later commits, please disregard. Otherwise, ensure:

  • Proper spacing: def diagnose(self, error: Optional[str] = None, image: Optional[str] = None, clipboard: bool = False) -> int:
  • Complete docstring with Args, Returns, and Note sections as suggested in previous reviews

As per coding guidelines, type hints required in Python code and docstrings required for all public APIs.


326-339: Generic offline advice may mislead users with non-apt errors.

The offline fallback provides dpkg/apt-specific troubleshooting steps regardless of the actual error content. Past reviews suggested making the advice more generic or adding basic pattern matching.

Consider implementing one of the approaches suggested in previous reviews, such as providing more generic troubleshooting guidance or adding basic keyword detection to tailor the advice.


640-648: Unimplemented flags need handling or documentation.

The --image and --clipboard arguments are declared but not implemented in the diagnose method, which could confuse users. Past reviews suggested adding validation or updating help text.

Implement one of the approaches from previous reviews:

  1. Add early validation in diagnose that returns an error if these flags are used
  2. Update help text to indicate "not yet implemented" or "coming soon"

This would improve user experience by setting clear expectations.

🧹 Nitpick comments (1)
cortex/cli.py (1)

38-42: Consider alternative to sys.path manipulation.

The sys.path.insert at line 42 is a code smell that suggests the package structure might benefit from proper installation (e.g., using pip install -e .). While this works, it can cause issues with imports and makes the code less portable.

Consider alternatives:

  • Install the package in development mode: pip install -e .
  • Use relative imports properly
  • Document why this is necessary if it's a deployment constraint

131-140: LGTM: Deferred import pattern supports offline operation.

The deferred import for Claude's Anthropic client correctly avoids requiring the anthropic package at module load time, aligning with the PR's goal of enabling error diagnosis on fresh systems without forcing SDK installation.


214-222: LGTM: force_provider parameter well-documented and typed.

The addition of the force_provider parameter to the complete method is properly typed with Optional[LLMProvider] and documented in the docstring. This enhances flexibility for testing and special routing scenarios.

cortex/cli.py (1)

346-360: LGTM: LLM diagnosis path correctly implemented.

The try/except block is properly closed (resolving the SyntaxError flagged in past reviews), and the integration with llm_router.complete_task is correct. The deferred import pattern avoids forcing the dependency at module load time, supporting the offline-safe goal.

47-57: Consider using more specific type hint for raw_response.

The raw_response field uses Dict without type parameters. For better type safety, consider using Dict[str, Any] to be explicit about the key-value types.

As per coding guidelines, type hints are required in Python code.

135-159: LGTM! Deferred import pattern correctly implemented.

Both Claude and Kimi clients now use try/except blocks to handle missing SDK packages gracefully. This enables the offline-safe fallback behavior as intended by the PR objectives.


474-509: LGTM! Demo code provides clear usage examples.

The __main__ block demonstrates routing behavior for different task types (USER_CHAT → Claude, SYSTEM_OPERATION → Kimi K2), which is helpful for understanding the router's behavior.

cortex/cli.py (2)

371-385: LGTM! LLM diagnosis path correctly uses the router.

The implementation properly uses complete_task with TaskType.ERROR_DEBUGGING, which will route to Kimi K2 as the preferred provider for debugging tasks (per the routing rules in llm_router.py).


192-310: LGTM! Install command follows dry-run by default pattern.

The install command correctly defaults to showing commands without execution (lines 306-308), requiring explicit --execute flag for actual installation. This aligns with the safety-first approach. Based on learnings, dry-run by default for all installations in command execution.

22-23: Critical: Module-level imports defeat guarded import pattern.

Lines 22-23 import Anthropic and OpenAI at module-level, which will cause an ImportError if these packages aren't installed—preventing the module from loading at all. This defeats the purpose of the guarded import pattern added at lines 139-146 for Claude.

To enable offline operation when SDKs are missing, remove these module-level imports and rely entirely on the deferred imports within the initialization blocks.

🔎 Proposed fix
 from typing import Any
 
-from anthropic import Anthropic
-from openai import OpenAI
-
 # Configure logging
 logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

Note: Line 23 (from openai import OpenAI) should also be removed and moved to a guarded import for Kimi (see separate comment).

150-156: Implement guarded import pattern for Kimi to match Claude.

Kimi initialization should use the same try/except ImportError pattern as Claude (lines 139-146) to support offline operation when the openai package is unavailable.

Based on past review comments, Kimi should match Claude's deferred import pattern.

135-159: LGTM: Guarded imports implemented correctly.

The deferred import pattern for both Claude and Kimi clients is properly implemented with try/except blocks that gracefully handle missing dependencies. This allows the router to work in offline mode without requiring SDK installation.


169-216: LGTM: force_provider and fallback routing implemented correctly.

The routing logic properly handles forced provider selection and gracefully falls back when the preferred provider is unavailable. The confidence scores (1.0 for forced, 0.95 for routed) are reasonable.


506-509: No action needed: File complies with PEP 8.

Both trailing whitespace and final newline issues have been resolved. The file ends correctly with no whitespace violations.

cortex/cli.py (4)

31-36: LGTM: Logging configuration is properly consolidated.

The logging suppression and sys.path configuration appear only once in the file, as expected. Previous concerns about duplication have been addressed.


370-384: LGTM: LLM-based diagnosis path implemented correctly.

The integration with llm_router.complete_task is properly implemented with appropriate error handling and return codes. The use of TaskType.ERROR_DEBUGGING ensures correct routing to the optimal LLM.


750-753: LGTM: Command dispatch properly implemented.

The diagnose command is correctly wired into the main dispatch logic with appropriate argument passing.


72-86: LGTM: Provider selection logic supports offline mode.

The provider detection correctly prioritizes explicit configuration, auto-detects from API keys, and falls back to Ollama for offline operation. This aligns well with the PR objective of providing an offline-safe fallback.

544-610: Critical: Infinite recursion still possible in acomplete method.

The acomplete method lacks the _is_fallback guard that was added to the complete method. If both providers fail, the async path will recurse indefinitely between them.

Flow demonstrating infinite recursion:

  1. acomplete() routes to Claude → fails
  2. Fallback to Kimi K2 via force_provider (line 601-608) → fails
  3. Fallback to Claude again → fails → loop continues

The synchronous complete method was fixed with the _is_fallback parameter (lines 269, 310, 325), but acomplete was not updated with the same protection.

73-73: Consider adding validation for the confidence field.

The comment indicates confidence should be between 0.0 and 1.0, but there's no runtime validation to enforce this constraint. Consider adding validation in __post_init__ or using a property setter if strict bounds checking is desired.

🔎 Example validation approach

169-169: LGTM: Appropriate log level for optional component.

Changing from warning to info is correct since Kimi K2 is an optional provider. This reduces unnecessary noise when the provider is not configured.


269-269: LGTM: Fallback recursion protection correctly implemented.

The _is_fallback parameter effectively prevents infinite recursion by ensuring that a fallback attempt cannot itself trigger another fallback. The logic correctly:

  • Accepts fallback attempts only when not already in a fallback state (line 310)
  • Marks recursive calls with _is_fallback=True (line 325)
  • Raises the exception if fallback is disabled or already attempted (line 328)

Note: The _is_fallback parameter is not documented in the method's docstring. While it's a private parameter (indicated by the leading underscore), consider adding a brief note for maintainability.

Also applies to: 310-328

1-1944: The diagnose command implementation is completely missing — this is a critical blocker.

This PR's primary objective is to add the cortex diagnose command with offline fallback, but the entire implementation is absent from the codebase:

  • No diagnose() method in the CortexCLI class
  • No diagnose_parser in the argument parsing section
  • No dispatch handler for the diagnose command in main()

Per prior review comments, the diagnose command was implemented across commits e694b28 to cdd5b25 and marked as addressed. Given the merge conflicts mentioned in this PR (after PRs #297 and #299) and the duplicate code regression present in the file, the diagnose implementation was lost during conflict resolution.

Restore the complete diagnose command implementation, including:

  • The CortexCLI.diagnose() method with proper docstring
  • The argument parser with --image and --clipboard options
  • The dispatch handler in main()
  • The offline fallback logic for when no LLM provider is configured

Without this, the PR delivers none of its stated functionality.

28-28: Critical: PIL import causes ModuleNotFoundError for users without Pillow

The module-level from PIL import Image import (line 28) will cause a ModuleNotFoundError for any user who doesn't have Pillow installed, breaking the entire cortex.llm_router module and all commands—not just diagnose.

The pipeline failure confirms this: "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PIL'".

Solution: Move the PIL import into diagnose_image() and handle ImportError gracefully:

🔎 Proposed fix

Remove the module-level import:

 from anthropic import Anthropic, AsyncAnthropic
 from openai import AsyncOpenAI, OpenAI
-from PIL import Image

Move it into the method with error handling:

     def diagnose_image(self, image: Image.Image) -> str:
         """
         Diagnose an error screenshot using Claude Vision.
         Safe fallback if Claude is unavailable.

+                "Install with: pip install Pillow\n"
+            )
 
         if not self.claude_client:

Also update the type hint to use string annotation to avoid runtime import:

-    def diagnose_image(self, image: Image.Image) -> str:
+    def diagnose_image(self, image: "Image.Image") -> str:

23-23: LGTM: LLMRouter import

The import is correctly placed and necessary for the new diagnose command implementation at line 1953.


1645-1666: Parser definition looks correct, but check implementation

The diagnose parser correctly defines --image, --clipboard, and --text arguments. However, note that the implementation at line 1961 incorrectly references args.message instead of args.text.

cortex/llm_router.py (5)

76-76: LGTM: Added confidence field to RoutingDecision

The new confidence field is properly typed and documented. It's correctly initialized in route_task() (lines 227 and 261) and provides a foundation for future confidence-based routing decisions.


172-172: LGTM: Appropriate logging level for optional Kimi provider

Changing from logger.warning to logger.info is correct. Since Kimi K2 is an optional provider (with fallback to Claude or Ollama), its unavailability is informational rather than a warning.


272-272: LGTM: Fallback recursion guard prevents infinite loops

The _is_fallback parameter correctly prevents infinite recursion in the fallback logic:

  1. Primary provider fails → attempts fallback with _is_fallback=True
  2. Fallback fails → check not _is_fallback prevents another attempt → raises exception

This implementation properly addresses the infinite recursion issue flagged in past reviews.

Based on past review comments, this was addressed in commits e694b28 to 4da6b73.

Also applies to: 313-331


436-436: LGTM: Improved readability with parenthesized expressions

Adding parentheses around the conditional expressions for raw_response improves code clarity without changing functionality. This is a good stylistic improvement for consistency.

Also applies to: 479-479


556-556: LGTM: Docstring capitalization consistency

Changing "Dictionary" to "dictionary" improves consistency with typical Python docstring conventions for return type descriptions.

652-673: Async acomplete() lacks the _is_fallback guard, causing potential infinite recursion.

The sync complete() method was correctly updated with _is_fallback to prevent infinite recursion (lines 271, 312, 327), but the async acomplete() method still has the same vulnerability. If both providers fail, the fallback will recurse indefinitely.

332-391: Enhance error handling and docstring in diagnose_image().

The method has several areas for improvement:

  1. Missing type hint on image parameter (per coding guidelines, type hints are required)

23-23: LGTM!

The LLMRouter import properly exposes the router for the new diagnose functionality.


1645-1666: LGTM!

The diagnose subparser is well-structured with clear help text for the --image, --clipboard, and --text arguments.

cortex/llm_router.py (3)

15-16: LGTM!

The base64 and io imports are correctly added to support image encoding in diagnose_image.


271-271: Good implementation of the _is_fallback guard.

The _is_fallback parameter correctly prevents infinite recursion in the fallback logic.


446-446: LGTM!

The parenthesized tuple expression for raw_response is a valid style choice.

14-22: Fix import ordering to comply with PEP 8.

332-397: Address remaining issues from past reviews: type hints and error specificity.

While the core implementation is sound, there are still improvements needed based on past review feedback:

Remaining issues:

  1. Missing type hint for image parameter (line 332): Should be image: "Image.Image" or use proper typing
  2. Incomplete docstring: Missing Args, Returns, and Raises sections per coding guidelines
  3. Generic fallback messages (lines 342-346, 352-356): Messages about "Sudo disabled" and "Permission error" don't make sense for image diagnosis—these are copy-pasted from another context

As per coding guidelines, type hints required in Python code and docstrings required for all public APIs.

11-11: LGTM! Development dependency addition is appropriate.

The addition of pillow>=9.0.0 to development dependencies is consistent with the new image-based diagnosis feature and aligns with the corresponding additions in requirements.txt and pyproject.toml.

requirements.txt (1)

7-7: LGTM! Production dependency addition is correct.

The addition of pillow>=9.0.0 is necessary for the new image diagnosis functionality and is consistent across all dependency files (requirements.txt, requirements-dev.txt, and pyproject.toml).

pyproject.toml (1)

50-50: LGTM! Dependency declaration is consistent.

The addition of pillow>=9.0.0 to the project dependencies is correct and consistent with the additions in requirements.txt and requirements-dev.txt. The version constraint is appropriate for Python 3.10+ projects.

cortex/llm_router.py (4)

171-171: LGTM! Log level change is appropriate.

Changing from logger.warning to logger.info for the Kimi unavailability message is correct. Missing Kimi K2 is not necessarily a problem since other providers (Claude, Ollama) may be available, so an info-level message is more appropriate than a warning.


271-271: LGTM! Infinite recursion fix is correctly implemented.

The addition of the _is_fallback parameter and associated logic correctly prevents infinite recursion when both providers fail. The guard ensures that fallback is only attempted once:

  1. Line 271: Parameter added with default False
  2. Line 312: Fallback only triggered if not _is_fallback
  3. Line 327: Recursive call passes _is_fallback=True

This addresses the critical issue flagged in past reviews where fallback could alternate between providers indefinitely.

Also applies to: 312-330


452-452: LGTM! Parentheses improve readability.

Wrapping the raw_response ternary expressions in parentheses improves code readability. This is a good stylistic improvement that makes the conditional assignment more clear.

Also applies to: 495-495


572-572: LGTM! Docstring capitalization fix.

Changing "Dictionary" to "dictionary" improves consistency with standard Python documentation style, which typically uses lowercase for type names in prose.

cortex/cli.py (3)

23-23: LGTM! Import addition is necessary and correctly placed.

The from cortex.llm_router import LLMRouter import is required for the new diagnose functionality and is placed appropriately within the cortex module imports section.


1645-1666: LGTM! Diagnose subcommand parser is well-defined.

The diagnose subcommand parser correctly defines three input methods:

  • --image: Path to screenshot file
  • --clipboard: Read from clipboard
  • --text: Raw error text fallback

The argument definitions are clear and properly typed, with helpful descriptions for users.


1927-1967: Verify error handling for malformed images.

The image loading code handles Exception broadly (lines 1937-1939, 1949-1951), which is good for user experience. However, consider whether specific PIL exceptions (like PIL.UnidentifiedImageError for corrupt files) should be caught separately to provide more helpful error messages.

This is a nice-to-have improvement rather than a critical issue. The current generic exception handling is acceptable for an MVP.

1-6: Fix import sorting and clarify importorskip usage.

Two issues:

  1. Import order violates PEP 8: Third-party imports (PIL) should come before local imports (cortex), but after standard library (pytest).

1961-1964: Text diagnosis is a non-functional placeholder.

The text diagnosis path (lines 1961-1964) simply echoes the input text without any actual diagnosis. This contradicts the PR description which states: "Implements a text-based diagnosis command."

Current behavior:

  • ❌ No actual error analysis
  • ❌ No suggestions or fixes provided
  • ❌ Just prints the input back to the user

Based on the PR objectives stating this is an "MVP implementation" with "offline-safe fallback," consider implementing basic text diagnosis using LLMRouter.complete() or document this as explicitly not implemented yet.

💡 Suggested implementation using LLMRouter

9-22: LGTM: Fallback test coverage is appropriate.

The test correctly verifies that diagnose_image returns a fallback message when Claude is unavailable, which aligns with the offline-safe fallback design goal stated in the PR objectives.

cortex/cli.py (2)

1645-1666: LGTM: Diagnose subcommand parser definition is well-structured.

The argument parser clearly defines three input options (--image, --clipboard, --text) with appropriate help text. This aligns with the MVP scope mentioned in the PR objectives.


1934-1959: LGTM: Image loading logic handles errors appropriately.

The implementation correctly:

  • Opens images from file paths with error handling
  • Reads from clipboard using ImageGrab with proper exception handling
  • Provides clear error messages when operations fail
  • Returns appropriate exit codes
cortex/llm_router.py (4)

15-22: LGTM: New imports support image diagnosis feature.

The addition of base64 and io imports is necessary for the diagnose_image method's image encoding functionality. The import organization follows PEP 8 ordering (standard library, then third-party).


271-271: LGTM: _is_fallback parameter prevents infinite recursion.

The addition of the _is_fallback parameter (with a leading underscore indicating it's internal) is the correct fix for the infinite recursion issue flagged in past reviews. This prevents the fallback mechanism from recursing indefinitely when both providers fail.

Based on past review comments, this addresses the infinite recursion concern raised previously.


312-330: LGTM: Fallback logic correctly guards against infinite recursion.

The guard if self.enable_fallback and not _is_fallback: (line 312) combined with passing _is_fallback=True in the recursive call (line 327) ensures that fallback only happens once. If both providers fail, the exception is re-raised instead of looping infinitely.

Based on past review comments, this implementation properly addresses the infinite recursion risk.


452-452: LGTM: raw_response assignments use safe attribute access.

The parenthesized conditional expressions (response.model_dump() if hasattr(response, "model_dump") else None) correctly handle cases where the response object might not have a model_dump method. This is good defensive coding.

Also applies to: 495-495

pyproject.toml (1)

50-50: Pillow 9.0.0 appears overly restrictive for the features actually used.

The codebase only uses basic Pillow operations: Image.new(), Image.open(), ImageGrab.grabclipboard(), and image.save() with PNG format. All of these have been available in Pillow for many years, well before 9.0.0 (January 2022). No advanced features requiring 9.0.0+ (AVIF, WebP, ImageOps, ImageFilter, etc.) are in use.

Consider either:

  1. Lowering the minimum version to reflect actual requirements (e.g., >=8.0.0 or earlier)
  2. Documenting if 9.0.0+ is chosen for other project policy reasons (e.g., maintaining recent dependencies across the board)

35-40: CRITICAL REGRESSION: Remove duplicate logging and sys.path configuration.

Lines 35-40 are exact duplicates of lines 29-33. This code block was flagged in a previous review and marked as "✅ Addressed in commit bbb036b," but the duplication has reappeared—likely during a merge conflict resolution.

This redundant configuration serves no purpose and violates DRY principles.

Based on past review comments, this was previously fixed but regressed during rebase.

 sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), ".."))

1927-1930: CRITICAL REGRESSION: Fix import ordering to comply with PEP 8.

Standard library imports (import io) must come before third-party imports (from PIL import Image). This was flagged in a previous review and marked as "✅ Addressed in commit b7a6db2," but the imports remain unsorted—likely reintroduced during merge conflict resolution.

As per coding guidelines, follow PEP 8 style guide.

🔎 Proposed fix
         elif args.command == "diagnose":
+            import io
+
             from PIL import Image
-            import io

1961-1964: Text diagnosis provides no actual functionality.

The text path (lines 1961-1964) simply echoes the user's input back without any analysis or diagnosis. This is inconsistent with the PR objectives, which state the PR "implements a text-based diagnosis command" and "provides an offline-safe fallback."

Per the PR objectives and linked issue #266, image support is the primary goal, but this placeholder is misleading—it appears functional but does nothing useful.

Based on past review comments, this placeholder was previously flagged but not addressed.

Consider one of these approaches:

  1. Implement basic text diagnosis using LLMRouter.complete():

    if args.text:
        cx_print("🔍 Analyzing error message...")
        router = LLMRouter()
        response = router.complete(
            messages=[{
                "role": "user",
                "content": f"Diagnose this Linux error and suggest fixes:\n{args.text}"
            }],
            task_type=TaskType.ERROR_DEBUGGING
        )
        print(response.content)
        return 0
  2. Mark as not implemented if deferred:

    if args.text:
        print("❌ Text diagnosis not yet implemented")
        print("Use --image or --clipboard for AI-powered diagnosis")
        return 1
cortex/llm_router.py (1)

332-400: Enhance diagnose_image() with complete type hints and docstring.

The implementation is functionally sound, but the public API is missing complete documentation required by the coding guidelines.

As per coding guidelines, type hints required in Python code and docstrings required for all public APIs.

🧹 Nitpick comments (2)
cortex/cli.py (1)

1955-1959: Add error handling for image diagnosis failures.

The code assumes router.diagnose_image(image) always returns a valid string, but exceptions or None returns could cause cx_print() to fail. While diagnose_image() has internal error handling, defensive validation here improves robustness.

🔎 Proposed improvement
             if image:
                 cx_print("🔍 Analyzing error screenshot...")
                 diagnosis = router.diagnose_image(image)
+                if not diagnosis:
+                    print("❌ Failed to diagnose image")
+                    return 1
                 cx_print(diagnosis)
                 return 0
cortex/llm_router.py (1)

389-400: Consider more specific error logging in diagnose_image exception handler.

The broad except Exception at line 389 catches all errors (network failures, rate limits, auth errors, malformed responses) but logs them all with the same generic message. While the fallback message is user-friendly, more specific logging would aid debugging.

🔎 Suggested improvement
         except Exception as e:
-            logger.warning(
-                "Claude Vision unavailable, using fallback diagnosis",
+            logger.warning(
+                f"Claude Vision API call failed ({type(e).__name__}): {e}",
                 exc_info=True,
             )
             return (
                 "Claude Vision unavailable.\n"
                 "Possible reasons:\n"
                 "- Invalid or missing API key\n"
                 "- Network or rate limit error\n"
                 "- Claude service unavailable\n"
             )

This preserves the user-facing fallback message while improving observability in logs.

cortex/cli.py (2)

23-23: LGTM: LLMRouter import is correct.

The import is properly placed and enables the diagnose command to use the new diagnose_image() method.


1645-1666: LGTM: Diagnose parser arguments are well-structured.

The argument parser correctly defines --image, --clipboard, and --text flags for the diagnose command, matching the PR objectives for image-based error diagnosis with text fallback.

cortex/llm_router.py (3)

15-16: LGTM: Imports added for image diagnosis feature.

The base64 and io imports are necessary for the new diagnose_image() method to convert PIL Image objects to base64-encoded bytes for Claude Vision API.


271-271: LGTM: _is_fallback parameter prevents infinite recursion.

The _is_fallback guard correctly prevents infinite fallback loops when both providers fail. This addresses a critical issue flagged in previous reviews.

Based on past review comments, this fix was previously requested and is now properly implemented.


312-330: LGTM: Fallback logic correctly guards against infinite recursion.

The updated fallback implementation:

  • Checks not _is_fallback before attempting fallback (line 312)
  • Passes _is_fallback=True on recursive call (line 327)
  • Raises exception if fallback is disabled or already attempted (line 330)

This prevents the infinite loop that was flagged in previous reviews.

Based on past review comments, this addresses the critical recursion issue that was identified earlier.

requirements-dev.txt (1)

11-11: Pillow is already in runtime dependencies (requirements.txt and pyproject.toml), so this is redundant.

The diagnose command does import and use Pillow at runtime (in cortex/cli.py and cortex/llm_router.py), but Pillow is properly declared as a runtime dependency in both requirements.txt and pyproject.toml. Adding it to requirements-dev.txt is redundant since runtime dependencies are automatically included in development environments. Consider removing this entry from requirements-dev.txt.
