Summary

CLI half of PRD Surface 6 v2 (token CTO-AGENT-DIR-SURFACE-6-SECONDARY). Extends `cueapi message-to` with a `--mode` flag that maps to the new server-side `delivery_mode` field on `POST /v1/messages`.

  • New `--mode` Click.Choice option over `live | bg | inbox | webhook | auto`, default `auto`
  • Default-omit discipline: only sends `delivery_mode` in the POST body when the user opts away from `auto`. Server treats absent == auto, so this keeps wire-format identical for pre-Surface-6 senders and avoids payload noise on the common path.
  • Surfaces server's `effective_delivery_mode` as a `Sent via:` line. When the server downgrades (e.g. requested `live` but recipient has no live session), the line reads `Sent via: inbox (requested live, recipient does not support it)` so callers see the override explicitly instead of a silent fallback.

Flag-passing only — works against current server (field ignored), works correctly once the server-side bridge ships. Stacked on top of #40 (`feat: cueapi message-to `); GitHub will tighten the diff to just this change once #40 merges.

Sequencing

cueapi (main) is on the server-side bridge (~1-3d). This PR doesn't depend on his merge — flag-passing logic ships immediately; once his PR lands, the full chain works.

cueapi-mcp parity (`mode` parameter on `cueapi_messages_send`) ships in a sibling PR right after this one.

Test plan

  • `pytest tests/test_cli.py` — 160/160 pass (8 new):
    • default `auto` omits the field (wire-format identical to pre-Surface-6)
    • explicit `--mode auto` also omits (same reason)
    • each of `live | bg | inbox | webhook` passes through and surfaces in output (parametrized)
    • invalid `--mode` value rejected by Click
    • server downgrade is surfaced with the requested-vs-effective hint
    • missing `effective_delivery_mode` on legacy server response doesn't print a stray `Sent via:` line
    • `--help` lists the flag and all 5 choices
  • Manual `cueapi message-to --help` walk-through — `--mode` shows with choices, default `auto`, and the downgrade-warning hint

…ery_mode

Adds CLI surface for the PRD Surface 6 v2 delivery_mode field
(token: CTO-AGENT-DIR-SURFACE-6-SECONDARY).

- New --mode option on `cueapi message-to`, Click.Choice over the 5
  documented values, default `auto`
- Default-omit discipline: only sends `delivery_mode` in the POST body
  when the user opts away from `auto`, since absent == auto on the
  server. Keeps wire-format identical for pre-Surface-6 senders and
  avoids payload noise on the common path.
- Surfaces `effective_delivery_mode` from the response as a `Sent via:`
  line. When the server downgrades (e.g. requested `live` but recipient
  has no live session, server delivered via `inbox`), the line reads
  `Sent via: inbox (requested live, recipient does not support it)`.

Flag-passing only — works against current server (field ignored), works
correctly once the server-side bridge ships.

8 new tests (160 total), covering: default-auto omits the field,
explicit `--mode auto` also omits, each non-auto value passes through
and surfaces in output, invalid value rejected by Click, downgrade is
surfaced with the requested-vs-effective hint, missing field on legacy
server doesn't print a stray "Sent via" line, --help lists the flag and
all 5 choices.

…es send + --notify to message-to (#49)

Closes the cli-side coverage gap that was blocking action ports for
--mode and --notify on `messages send`.

## --notify (hosted PR #619, §17 BCC-light)

Both `messages send` and `message-to` now accept `--notify <agent_ref>`
(repeatable, max 10). Each ref gets a stripped notification copy
alongside the main delivery, sharing thread_id. Server contract:
MessageCreate.notify (List[str], max-10, app/schemas/message.py).

CLI enforces the max-10 cap client-side via UsageError so the failure
surfaces at parse time instead of as a server 422.

## --mode parity for messages send

cueapi-cli #41 added `--mode` to `message-to` (Surface 6 v2
delivery_mode) but `messages send` was left without it — a
cross-product gap surfaced when porting cueapi-action #12 (action
couldn't wire --mode through messages-send). Mirroring the existing
shape from `message-to`:

- click.Choice(["live","bg","inbox","webhook","auto"]), default "auto"
- Default-omit: only emit `delivery_mode` on the wire when caller
  opts away from `auto`. Server treats absent === auto, so the wire
  format stays identical to pre-Surface-6 senders for the common path.

Pinned in regression-guard tests so explicit `--mode auto` is also
omitted (not just default omission).

## Wire format

Both fields are body fields on POST /v1/messages:
- `notify`: List[str], default omit when empty
- `delivery_mode`: enum, default omit when "auto"

Different from `idempotency_key` (header) and `from_agent`
(X-Cueapi-From-Agent header). Verify-server-transport-per-endpoint
discipline applied.

## Tests

8 new tests:
- messages_send_notify_passed_as_body_list
- messages_send_notify_omitted_when_unset
- messages_send_notify_max_10_enforced_client_side
- messages_send_mode_default_omitted
- messages_send_mode_explicit_passed_through (live/bg/inbox/webhook)
- messages_send_mode_auto_explicitly_omitted
- message_to_notify_passed_as_body_list
- message_to_notify_omitted_when_unset

179/179 pass total.

## Why now

This unblocks 2 follow-on cueapi-action ports:
- action `messages-send` --notify wire-through
- action `messages-send` --mode wire-through (reusing existing `mode`
  input from PR #13 which already wires it for `message-to`)

Will chain a small action follow-up PR after this lands.

…y, Mike body-verify directive 2026-05-11) (#55)

Parity port of cueapi-python #41 — body-verify Phase 2 on cues.fire,
but **OPT-IN** (not default-on) because the substrate's
/v1/cues/{id}/fire endpoint echoes a pydantic-after-parse body that
may include server-side default-population, causing spurious diff
vs the CLI's canonical-JSON serialization.

Mirrors primary's #41 design rationale: default OFF; caller opts in
with --verify when they know substrate echo semantics match their
serialization (typical for the sha256 constant-cost path).

Diverges from messages-send body-verify which is default-on
(--no-verify opt-out) because that endpoint echoes the raw STRING
body field per the spec-lock — no parsed-defaulted shape concern.

Implementation:
- New --verify click flag (is_flag, default False). Help text
  documents the OPT-IN rationale + the substrate-echo-shape concern.
- When --verify: send X-CueAPI-Verify-Echo: true header; pre-compute
  sha256(canonical-JSON(body)) hexdigest client-side.
- On 2xx response: compare sha256 first (constant-cost). If sha
  mismatch, fall back to string compare of body_received vs canonical
  body JSON. Spurious sha mismatch (e.g. canonical-JSON serialization
  diff) is rescued by the string compare.
- Defensive isinstance: body_received as string (post-#798 spec-lock)
  OR dict (pre-#798 wire shape). Matches the same pattern in
  cueapi-cli messages-send (#53) and cueapi-python messages.send
  (#40).
- On confirmed mismatch: exit 7 with byte-divergence diagnostic.
  Uses click.echo + raise SystemExit(7) directly (NOT echo_error
  which would raise SystemExit(1) and shadow the verify-specific
  exit code).

Tests (4 new):
- test_fire_verify_off_by_default_omits_header — no --verify ⇒ no
  X-CueAPI-Verify-Echo header (preserves pre-#791 wire format)
- test_fire_verify_on_sends_header — --verify ⇒ header set + sha
  match path passes silently
- test_fire_verify_help_lists_flag — --help mentions --verify + the
  opt-in rationale so users discover the design context
- test_fire_verify_mismatch_exits_7 — substrate echoes corrupted
  body ⇒ exit 7 with "body-verify mismatch" diagnostic

Full file: 219/219 passing (was 215 + 4 new = 219).
