Code Review
This pull request introduces a significant and well-designed feature: an uninstall impact analysis engine. The implementation is comprehensive, covering dependency graphing, service impact mapping, and a recommendation engine. The CLI integration is clean and provides useful output formats, including a rich text report and JSON for scripting. The addition of a comprehensive test suite is also commendable.
My review includes a few suggestions for improvement:
- A high-priority fix for an incorrect logic in identifying orphaned packages.
- A refactoring of the command-line argument parsing to improve clarity and maintainability.
- Removal of dead code.
- A suggestion to refactor duplicated code for better adherence to the DRY principle.
Overall, this is a strong contribution that significantly enhances the functionality of the Cortex CLI.
I am having trouble creating individual review comments. Click here to see my feedback.
cortex/uninstall_impact.py (759-772)
The current implementation of _get_orphaned_packages is incorrect. It runs apt-get -s autoremove, which shows packages that are currently orphaned on the system, not packages that would become orphaned after removing the target package.
To get the correct list, you should simulate the removal of the target package and parse the output for packages that are "no longer required". The apt-get -s remove <package> command provides this information directly.
def _get_orphaned_packages(self, package_name: str) -> list[str]:
"""Get packages that would become orphaned after removal"""
orphaned = []
# Simulate removal of the target package to find packages that are no longer required.
success, stdout, _ = self.graph._run_command(["apt-get", "-s", "remove", package_name])
if success:
# This regex captures packages listed after "The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:"
match = re.search(
r"The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:\n(.*?)\nUse 'sudo apt autoremove'",
stdout,
re.DOTALL,
)
if match:
package_list = match.group(1).strip()
# The list of packages can be multi-line and space-separated
orphaned.extend(pkg for pkg in package_list.split() if pkg)
return orphanedcortex/cli.py (1921-1931)
The argument handling for --dry-run and --execute is a bit confusing. The use of action="store_true" with default=True for --dry-run makes its value always True initially, and it relies on mutation in main() based on the --execute flag. This can be hard to follow.
A cleaner approach would be to use a mutually exclusive group to ensure only one of --dry-run or --execute can be used, and to make the default behavior (a dry run) more explicit. This also allows removing the special handling logic from main().
Consider refactoring the argument parsing like this. You would also need to update CortexCLI.remove to use dry_run = not args.execute and remove the special handling from main() as described below:
# In main() - remove this block
# if args.execute:
# args.dry_run = False
# In CortexCLI.remove()
def remove(self, args: argparse.Namespace) -> int:
...
# If --execute is not passed, it's a dry run.
dry_run = not args.execute
... execution_group = remove_parser.add_mutually_exclusive_group()
execution_group.add_argument(
"--dry-run",
action="store_true",
help="Show impact analysis without removing (this is the default behavior)",
)
execution_group.add_argument(
"--execute",
action="store_true",
help="Actually remove the package after analysis",
)
cortex/uninstall_impact.py (615-637)
This method get_safe_removal_order appears to be unused within the codebase. If it's not intended for current functionality, it should be removed to avoid dead code. If it's for future use, consider making it a private method (e.g., _get_safe_removal_order) to indicate it's not part of the public API yet.
cortex/uninstall_impact.py (997-1024)
The logic to convert an ImpactResult object to a JSON-serializable dictionary is duplicated here and in cortex/cli.py (lines 842-863). This can lead to inconsistencies if one location is updated and the other is not.
To follow the Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY) principle, you should refactor this logic into a method on the ImpactResult dataclass. For example:
# In cortex/uninstall_impact.py
@dataclass
class ImpactResult:
# ... existing fields ...
def to_dict(self) -> dict:
"""Converts the ImpactResult to a JSON-serializable dictionary."""
return {
"target_package": self.target_package,
"direct_dependents": self.direct_dependents,
"transitive_dependents": self.transitive_dependents,
"affected_services": [
{
"name": s.name,
"status": s.status.value,
"package": s.package,
"is_critical": s.is_critical,
}
for s in self.affected_services
],
"orphaned_packages": self.orphaned_packages,
"cascade_packages": self.cascade_packages,
"severity": self.severity.value,
"total_affected": self.total_affected,
"cascade_depth": self.cascade_depth,
"recommendations": self.recommendations,
"warnings": self.warnings,
"safe_to_remove": self.safe_to_remove,
}
# Then, in this file:
if args.json:
import json
print(json.dumps(result.to_dict(), indent=2))
# And in cortex/cli.py:
if json_output:
import json as json_module
console.print(json_module.dumps(result.to_dict(), indent=2))Additionally, the import from dataclasses import asdict on line 999 is unused and can be removed.

1-30: LGTM! Comprehensive test suite with proper mocking.The test module provides good coverage of the uninstall impact analysis components. The imports are well-organized and the test structure follows unittest conventions properly.
647-693: Good integration test approach with mocked system calls.The integration test properly isolates from real system commands while testing the complete analysis flow. The helper method
_mock_graph_commandsprovides realistic mock responses for different apt/dpkg commands.
695-696: Test suite meets coverage guidelines.The test suite provides comprehensive coverage for the uninstall impact analysis engine. Based on coding guidelines requiring >80% coverage for tests, this suite appears to meet that threshold with 52 tests covering data models, core components, and integration flows.

27-27: LGTM! Import for uninstall impact analysis components.The import correctly brings in the necessary components from the new
uninstall_impactmodule.
2404-2443: LGTM! Argument parser follows dry-run by default guideline.The remove command parser correctly implements:
--dry-runas default (line 2413-2415)--executeto explicitly perform removal-y/--yesfor non-interactive use--jsonfor scripting integrationThis aligns with coding guidelines requiring dry-run mode by default for installation operations.
2811-2815: LGTM! Correct handling of --execute flag override.The logic properly overrides
dry_runtoFalsewhen--executeis specified, ensuring the mutual exclusivity between dry-run and execute modes works as expected.
2289-2289: LGTM! Help table updated with remove command.cortex/uninstall_impact.py (6)
31-48: LGTM! Well-defined enums with clear semantics.Both enums use descriptive string values that will serialize well to JSON for scripting output.
50-110: LGTM! Well-structured dataclasses with proper defaults.The dataclasses correctly use
field(default_factory=list)for mutable defaults, avoiding the common Python pitfall. Type hints are comprehensive.
347-403: Good service mapping with critical service identification.The
PACKAGE_SERVICE_MAPprovides comprehensive coverage for common packages, andCRITICAL_SERVICESproperly identifies services that warrant high severity warnings (SSH, Docker, databases, web servers).
526-598: Well-designed recommendation engine with context-aware suggestions.The recommendations cover:
- Critical/High impact warnings
- Running service warnings with specific names
- Critical service warnings with alternative access advice
- Dependent package removal suggestions
- Orphaned package cleanup hints
- Safe removal confirmation
- Alternative package suggestions
Good UX design for helping users make informed decisions.
869-966: LGTM! Clean facade pattern with well-documented public API.
UninstallImpactAnalyzerprovides a simple interface for CLI usage while hiding implementation complexity. Theformat_impact_reportmethod produces consistent, readable output. All public methods have docstrings as required by coding guidelines.
665-738: Core analysis method is well-implemented.The
analyzemethod provides comprehensive impact analysis:
- Checks package existence and installation status
- Identifies essential packages
- Resolves direct and transitive dependents
- Detects cascade and orphaned packages
- Maps affected services
- Calculates severity based on multiple factors
- Generates contextual recommendations
The logic flow is clear and handles edge cases (non-installed packages, non-existent packages) appropriately.

Orphaned packages detection may be inaccurate.
The _get_orphaned_packages method runs apt-get -s autoremove --purge which shows current autoremove candidates, not packages that would become orphaned after removing the target package. This could be misleading.

- Around line 584-591: The recommendation logic is inverted: when
impact.safe_to_remove is False you should suggest the safer, non-destructive
removal, and when True suggest the normal or purge option as appropriate; update
the branch in the block that checks impact.safe_to_remove so that
impact.safe_to_remove == True appends the more aggressive or normal remove
message (e.g., "Use 'cortex remove <package>'" or include mention of --purge if
desired) and impact.safe_to_remove == False appends the conservative
recommendation (e.g., suggest reviewing backups/configs or using the non-purge
remove), by swapping the two strings passed to recommendations.append or by
flipping the condition so the messages align with impact.safe_to_remove.
- Around line 821-830: The uninstall commands currently use silent sudo with the
-y flag (in the block that assigns plan.commands when purge is True/False),
which violates the guideline; update the two command lists built for
plan.commands (both the purge branch and the remove branch) to remove the -y
flag from the sudo apt-get calls (and from sudo apt-get autoremove if present)
so the system will prompt for confirmation when executing operations on
package_name; keep the rest of the strings and use the same variables (purge,
plan.commands, package_name) so only the -y tokens are removed.

The execution path in

status (and include autoremove outcome as a subsequent update or separate
record), and on failures/timeouts record a failed removal entry including error/
stderr information; locate _execute_removal and add these InstallationHistory
calls in the success and exception/else branches so every removal attempt is
recorded.
In @cortex/uninstall_impact.py:
- Around line 833-842: The generated removal plan in generate_removal_plan
currently embeds the `-y` flag into plan.commands (e.g., `sudo apt-get purge -y
{package_name}` and `sudo apt-get autoremove -y`); update generate_removal_plan
so plan.commands present interactive commands without `-y` (use `sudo apt-get
purge {package_name}`, `sudo apt-get remove {package_name}` and `sudo apt-get
autoremove`) and ensure that any code that actually executes these commands adds
`-y` only after explicit user confirmation; reference the plan.commands
assignment, package_name and the purge boolean when making the change.
- Around line 596-603: The recommendation for when impact.safe_to_remove is
False is misleading because suggesting "--purge" implies it makes the package
safe to remove; update the else branch where recommendations.append is called to
instead provide a cautionary message explaining the package is unsafe to remove
and instruct the user to inspect impact details or run a safety check (e.g.,
refer to impact.safe_to_remove and any impact.details or impact.risks) before
removing, and optionally offer a command to list affected components or to force
removal only with explicit confirmation rather than implying purge makes it
safe.
- Around line 984-1044: Add audit logging calls to the CLI entry path and
analysis methods so every analyze/plan operation is recorded in
~/.cortex/history.db using InstallationHistory and the appropriate
InstallationType (e.g., InstallationType.ANALYZE or InstallationType.PLAN);
specifically, in the __main__ CLI block wrap calls to
UninstallImpactAnalyzer.analyze and UninstallImpactAnalyzer.get_removal_plan
with InstallationHistory().record(...) (or the project’s record API), include
operation type, target package, flags (json/plan/purge), timestamp, and outcome
(success/failure and any summary fields like total_affected or
packages_to_remove), and ensure exceptions are logged as failures to the same
history DB; update imports to include InstallationHistory and InstallationType
and call them in the analyze/get_removal_plan call sites.

1-30: LGTM! Comprehensive test suite with appropriate imports and structure.The test file provides good coverage of the Uninstall Impact Analysis Engine components. The imports are organized, and the module docstring clearly documents what's being tested.
647-692: Integration test provides good end-to-end coverage.The mocked integration test validates the complete analysis flow. The
_mock_graph_commandshelper is well-designed to handle various subprocess command patterns.cortex/uninstall_impact.py (4)
1-31: Well-structured module with clear documentation.The module docstring clearly explains the components and their responsibilities. Imports are organized and the logging setup is appropriate.
53-113: Dataclasses are well-designed with proper defaults.Good use of
field(default_factory=list)to avoid mutable default argument issues. Type hints are comprehensive.
359-414: Comprehensive service mapping with appropriate critical service identification.The PACKAGE_SERVICE_MAP and CRITICAL_SERVICES definitions provide good coverage for common packages. The critical services list appropriately includes ssh, docker, and database services.
881-935: Clean facade pattern with comprehensive report formatting.The
UninstallImpactAnalyzerprovides a simple interface for CLI integration. The emoji-based severity indicators and structured report format are user-friendly.cortex/cli.py (6)
27-31: Clean imports and helpful constant for consistent help text.The imports from
cortex.uninstall_impactare appropriate, andHELP_SKIP_CONFIRMprovides consistency across commands.
887-918: Well-structured remove command with dry-run by default.The implementation correctly defaults to dry-run mode (line 890) and requires explicit
--executeto proceed. The flow follows a safe pattern: analyze → display → confirm → execute.
993-1005: Confirmation logic correctly requires explicit consent.The confirmation defaults to "No" (requires explicit 'y' or 'yes'), and gracefully handles non-interactive scenarios (EOFError, KeyboardInterrupt).
1019-1104: Clean display methods with consistent Rich formatting.The display helpers are well-organized with appropriate use of Rich library components (Panel, Table). The color coding for severity levels provides clear visual feedback.
2417-2456: Well-defined command parser with safe defaults.The remove command parser correctly defaults
--dry-runto True and provides clear options. The help text is descriptive.
2822-2826: Correct dispatch logic for remove command.The
--executeflag properly overrides the default dry-run behavior before calling the remove method.

Generated removal commands use silent sudo with -y flag.
The generate_removal_plan method generates commands with sudo apt-get ... -y which bypasses user confirmation. Based on learnings, the coding guidelines require explicit user confirmation for privilege escalation rather than silent sudo.
🔒 Suggested fix to remove silent sudo
# Generate commands
if purge:
plan.commands = [
- f"sudo apt-get purge -y {package_name}",
- "sudo apt-get autoremove -y",

plan.commands = [
- f"sudo apt-get remove -y {package_name}",
- "sudo apt-get autoremove -y",
+ f"sudo apt-get remove {package_name}",
+ "sudo apt-get autoremove",
]The -y flag should only be added during actual execution after explicit user confirmation, not embedded in the plan commands displayed to users. Based on learnings, explicit user confirmation is required for privilege escalation.

@Anshgrover23, thanks for confirming! I've noted that the -y flag should be removed from the generated commands in generate_removal_plan to ensure explicit user confirmation before privilege escalation. Let me know if you'd like any assistance with the update.

Add audit logging to history.db for package analysis operations.
Per coding guidelines, all operations in Python files must be logged to ~/.cortex/history.db for audit purposes. The CLI entry point and analysis methods perform package impact analysis and removal planning but do not record these operations to the audit database. Integrate InstallationHistory to log analysis operations with appropriate operation types (e.g., InstallationType.ANALYZE or similar).

- Around line 26-30: Remove the module-level call to
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO) because it can override the
application's logging config; instead, move this initialization into a guarded
block for standalone execution (use if __name__ == "__main__":) so the module
exports logger = logging.getLogger(__name__) without altering global logging
when imported, and only configure basicConfig when running the script directly.
🧹 Nitpick comments (4)
cortex/cli.py (2)
944-952: Fragile string matching on warnings list.The check
"not found in repositories" in str(result.warnings)converts the list to its string representation (e.g.,"['Package ... not found in repositories']"). This works but is fragile—consider iterating through the list explicitly or adding a dedicated flag likepackage_not_foundtoImpactResult.♻️ Suggested improvement
def _check_package_not_found(self, result) -> bool: """Check if package doesn't exist in repos and print warnings.""" - if result.warnings and "not found in repositories" in str(result.warnings): + not_found = any("not found in repositories" in w for w in result.warnings) + if not_found: for warning in result.warnings: cx_print(warning, "warning") for rec in result.recommendations: cx_print(rec, "info") return True return False
1111-1155: Autoremove runs without explicit confirmation.The main removal properly requires user confirmation before execution. However,
apt-get autoremove -yat line 1150-1154 runs automatically afterward. While this is a common convenience pattern, it could remove more packages than the user expected.Consider either:
- Informing the user what autoremove will clean before running it, or
- Making autoremove opt-in via a flag
This is a minor UX concern since autoremove only removes unused dependencies.
cortex/uninstall_impact.py (2)
799-824: Orphaned package detection has limitations.The method simulates removal at line 809 but doesn't use the result—it only returns current
autoremovecandidates. As noted in the comment (lines 803-804), this doesn't accurately predict what would become orphaned after removing the specific target package.This is a known limitation. Consider documenting this more prominently in the method name or return value, or investigating if
apt-get -s remove PKG && apt-get -s autoremovecan be chained in a single shell to get accurate results.
1050-1080: Consider whether read-only analysis should be logged as REMOVE.Both
--planand regular analysis are logged withInstallationType.REMOVE, which may be misleading in audit history since no removal actually occurred. Consider either:
- Not logging read-only analysis operations, or
- Adding a separate
InstallationType.ANALYZEfor read-only operationsThis is a minor semantic concern for audit clarity.

27-36: LGTM!The imports are correctly structured, and the
HELP_SKIP_CONFIRMconstant promotes consistency across confirmation prompts.
892-923: LGTM! Well-structured remove command with safety-first approach.The method correctly defaults to dry-run mode and follows a clear flow: analyze → validate → output → confirm → execute. This aligns with the coding guidelines requiring dry-run by default.
925-942: LGTM!Proper error handling with graceful failure and verbose traceback support.
954-983: LGTM!Clean JSON serialization with proper handling of enum values via
.value. The import alias avoids shadowing with thejsonargument.
985-1022: LGTM!Safety checks properly gate high-impact removals behind
--force, and the confirmation flow handles non-interactive terminals gracefully.
1024-1109: LGTM! Rich formatting is well-implemented.The display methods provide clear, styled output with appropriate truncation for long lists and consistent severity coloring.
2477-2516: LGTM!The argument structure correctly defaults to dry-run mode and provides clear options for execution, purging, and force override. Good use of the shared
HELP_SKIP_CONFIRMconstant.
2882-2886: LGTM!The
--executeflag correctly overrides the default dry-run behavior.cortex/uninstall_impact.py (9)
33-50: LGTM!Clean enum definitions with appropriate severity levels and service statuses.
114-176: LGTM! Well-designed caching and thread safety.The dependency graph builder has good performance optimizations with file-based caching and proper thread synchronization. The 1-hour cache TTL is reasonable for package metadata.
296-320: LGTM! Safe string parsing without regex.The character-by-character approach avoids ReDoS vulnerabilities while correctly handling nested version constraints and virtual package markers.
344-369: LGTM!The BFS algorithm correctly computes transitive dependents with depth limiting to prevent runaway in circular dependency scenarios.
384-440: LGTM! Comprehensive service mapping.The static
PACKAGE_SERVICE_MAPcovers common services well, and the dynamic detection viadpkg-query -Lprovides a good fallback for unmapped packages. TheCRITICAL_SERVICESset appropriately flags high-impact services.
563-678: LGTM! Helpful recommendation engine.The recommendations cover critical scenarios well, including service warnings, dependency guidance, and orphan cleanup. The safe removal order algorithm gracefully handles circular dependencies.
680-778: LGTM! Comprehensive impact analysis.The
ImpactAnalyzerorchestrates all components well. The severity thresholds are reasonable, and the use ofapt-get -sfor dry-run simulation is the correct approach. Good handling of both installed and available-but-not-installed packages.
922-976: LGTM!Clean facade pattern providing a simple interface for CLI usage. The plain-text
format_impact_reportcomplements the Rich-based display incli.pyfor different output contexts.
75-82: No action needed. TheDependencyEdgeclass is actively used and tested in the test suite (tests/test_uninstall_impact.py), with a dedicatedTestDependencyEdgetest class. The class is not unused.

Calling logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO) in a library module can override or conflict with the main application's logging configuration. This should be removed or moved to the if __name__ == "__main__": block.
♻️ Suggested fix
-logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
# Constants
SERVICE_SUFFIX = ".service"
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)If needed for standalone CLI usage, add it to the if __name__ == "__main__": block at the bottom of the file.

In @cortex/uninstall_impact.py around lines 26 - 30, Remove the module-level
call to logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO) because it can override the
application's logging config; instead, move this initialization into a guarded
block for standalone execution (use if __name__ == "__main__":) so the module
exports logger = logging.getLogger(__name__) without altering global logging
when imported, and only configure basicConfig when running the script directly.
