Three first-try-failure-surface fixes from Pavel's #185 trace + the
template guidance question, all under PR #188's umbrella so they land
together with the file_server / parallel pull / Tier 1 work.
1. CLI clean-error wrapper — new AgnesTransportError raised by the
api_*/stream_download helpers when httpx times out / drops /
refuses, plus a top-level Typer wrapper (cli/main.py) that prints
one-line "Error: …" + actionable hint and exits non-zero. Full
traceback goes to ~/.config/agnes/last-error.log for support
forwarding. Unhandled Exceptions are caught at the same boundary
so no Python traceback ever leaks to the analyst's terminal.
Pavel's #185 Phase 3B: a 30-frame httpx traceback from a slow BQ
--remote query made it look like a CLI bug. Now: clean message +
hint pointing at `agnes snapshot create` / partition-column
guidance.
Entry point in pyproject.toml flipped from `cli.main:app` →
`cli.main:_run_with_clean_errors` so the wrapper actually runs
under the installed `agnes` binary.
2. agnes init / agnes pull --skip-materialize + progress bar.
--skip-materialize omits query_mode='materialized' rows from the
download set so a first init doesn't spend 44 minutes silently
pulling a single 6 GB parquet (Pavel's #185 Phase 1). Rich-driven
per-file progress bar with label/bytes/rate/ETA renders to stderr
when not --quiet and not --json. Aggregates across the parallel
ThreadPoolExecutor workers added earlier in this PR.
3. config/claude_md_template.txt: explicit one-line snippet pointing
at `agnes catalog --json | jq '.tables[] | select(.id=="<id>")'`
for per-table descriptions + restated invariant: "the description
field on each catalog row is the authoritative business-rules
text — re-read live, never copy into this file." Resolves the
regression-or-feature debate between Pavel (wants annotations)
and the user feedback that landed in the prior commit (don't
embed table-specific content; tables change). Catalog command
stays the source of truth.
Bring admin UI, audit-log messages, code comments, and analyst-facing
skill docs in line with the post-bootstrap CLI surface (`agnes pull`,
`agnes push`, `agnes init`, `agnes snapshot create`). The legacy
`_LEGACY_STRINGS` detection tuple in `app/api/claude_md.py` and the hook
upgrade markers in `cli/lib/hooks.py` are intentionally left as-is —
they exist precisely to flag pre-rewrite content for re-authoring.
Strip "(folded from `da metrics list`)" / "(lifted from `da metrics
show`)" / "Replaces the old `da analyst status`" docstring noise — the
rename history is in CHANGELOG.md, not in module docstrings.
