fix: print the version for intent --version by LadyBluenotes · Pull Request #314 · TanStack/intent

LadyBluenotes · 2026-10-04T17:27:54Z

🎯 Changes

intent --version printed the help text and exited with code 1 because the CLI had no version flag.
intent --version now prints the version field of the CLI's own package.json on one line and exits with code 0.
The flag is handled before the command parser is built, and package.json is read only on that path. Every other invocation does one added string comparison. The CLI runs in hooks on each session start and edit, so startup cost matters.
A registered global option was measured and rejected. The parser processes global options once for each command it tries, which slowed the load benchmark.
dist/cli.mjs grows by 167 bytes.
Adds a patch changeset.

✅ Checklist

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CLI now handles --version before creating or parsing the CLI. It prints the installed package version and returns 0. A test covers this behavior, and a changeset records a patch release.

Changes

CLI version flag

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Version flag handling and validation `packages/intent/src/cli.ts`, `packages/intent/tests/cli.test.ts`, `.changeset/cli-version-flag.md`	`main` reads and prints the package version when the first argument is `--version`, then returns `0`. The test checks the return value and output. The changeset declares a patch release.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 23a60

The primary intent --version form works, but the promised -v and post-command forms do not. Users can use the long pre-command form as a workaround; this is a bounded CLI behavior gap.

Review details

Systems and components

observed — packages/intent (library) was modified; 2 changed files map to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

observed — Modified behavior in packages/intent/src/cli.ts: The node:fs import now includes readFileSync alongside realpathSync.
observed — Modified behavior in packages/intent/src/cli.ts: main now checks whether the first argument is --version; if so, it reads and prints the version from the adjacent package.json and returns 0 before CLI creation or argument parsing.
observed — Modified behavior in packages/intent/tests/cli.test.ts: Adds coverage for --version: the test reads the package version from package.json and expects main(['--version']) to return 0 and log that version as the sole call.
observed — Modified behavior in .changeset/cli-version-flag.md: Adds a patch changeset for @tanstack/intent with a release note describing the intent --version behavior change.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Recognize both version aliases in the supported positions.

Line 416 checks only whether argv[0] is --version. Therefore, intent -v and intent <command> --version skip this branch. createCli() does not register a version option, so these forms do not print the package version. Detect both aliases in the positions promised by the CLI, and test each form.
