unkinben e18fa8e4f3 Initial commit: Go rewrite of node-lookup
Query PuppetDB for node facts via CLI. Replaces the original Python script.

- XDG config (~/.config/node-lookup/config.yaml) with env var overrides
- All flags from original tool preserved (-n, -F, -R, -m, --pm, -1, -2, -C, -A, -j)
- config init / config show subcommands
- Unit tests (23), Makefile, GoReleaser config, pre-commit hooks

# AGENTS.md
## Project Overview
`node-lookup` is a Go CLI tool that queries a PuppetDB API to retrieve and filter node facts.
## Structure
```
main.go # entire application source
go.mod # Go module (module name: node-lookup)
go.sum # dependency checksums
node-lookup # compiled binary (not committed)
```
## Build
```bash
go build -o node-lookup ./...
```
Requires Go 1.21+. Dependencies: `github.com/spf13/cobra` (CLI), `gopkg.in/yaml.v3` (Ansible output).
## Running the Tool
```bash
./node-lookup --help
./node-lookup -R # show all nodes with role fact
./node-lookup -n <hostname> # lookup a specific node
./node-lookup -F <fact_name> # filter by fact name
./node-lookup -m <value> # exact value match
./node-lookup --pm <pattern> # partial/regex match on value
./node-lookup -R -1 # node names only
./node-lookup -R -2 # values only
./node-lookup -R -C # count occurrences
./node-lookup -R -A # output as Ansible YAML inventory
./node-lookup -j # output as JSON { host → { fact → value } }
./node-lookup --url http://host:8080/... # override PuppetDB URL for this invocation
echo -e "node1\nnode2" | ./node-lookup -R # pipe node names via stdin
```
## Configuration
Precedence (lowest → highest): **defaults < config file < env vars < `--url` flag**
### Config file
XDG location: `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/node-lookup/config.yaml` (default: `~/.config/node-lookup/config.yaml`)
```yaml
puppetdb_url: http://puppetdbapi.service.consul:8080/pdb/query/v4/facts
role_fact: enc_role
```
Generate the default config file:
```bash
./node-lookup config init
```
Show the active configuration (after all overrides applied):
```bash
./node-lookup config show
```
### Environment variables
| Variable | Config key | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `NODE_LOOKUP_URL` | `puppetdb_url` | PuppetDB facts endpoint |
| `NODE_LOOKUP_ROLE_FACT` | `role_fact` | Fact name used by `-R` flag |
### CLI flag
`--url <url>` overrides the PuppetDB URL for a single invocation (highest precedence).
## Code Patterns
- **`loadConfig()`**: reads config file → applies env vars → returns `config` struct. Called once at startup in `main()`.
- **`buildQuery()`**: returns a PuppetDB PQL-compatible JSON array string. Uses `roleFact` from config (not hardcoded).
- **`queryPuppetDB(url, query)`**: takes the URL as a parameter — never reads globals.
- **`processResults()`**: iterates facts, returns sorted `"certname value"` strings. JSON string values are unquoted; other JSON types rendered as compact JSON.
- **Output modes**: JSON (`-j`), count (`-C`), Ansible YAML (`-A`), node-only (`-1`), value-only (`-2`), default (node + value).
- **Stdin support**: when stdin is not a TTY and no `-n` is given, node names are read line-by-line and queried individually (one HTTP request per node).
- **SIGPIPE handling**: `signal.Ignore(syscall.SIGPIPE)` so pipes to `head` etc. work cleanly.
## CLI Framework
Uses [Cobra](https://github.com/spf13/cobra). Root command is the query command. `config` is a subcommand with `init` and `show` sub-subcommands.
## Testing
No test suite exists. Manual testing requires access to the Consul/PuppetDB environment or a mock HTTP server.
## Gotchas
- `-1`, `-2`, `-C`, and `-A` all require `-R` or `-F`; the tool exits with an error otherwise.
- `-C` (count) with stdin reads all lines as pre-fetched `"node value"` output for counting — it does **not** query PuppetDB per line.
- JSON output (`-j`) builds `{ hostname: { factname: value } }` where the fact key is the `-F` value, the `role_fact` config value (if `-R`), or `"value"` as fallback.
- `config init` fails if the config file already exists (will not overwrite).
