craft-cli issue #385	Provide a way to handle multiple simultaneous sources of information	lengau	407d	keep open	62	61	7	Enhancement to multiplex concurrent information streams for parallel and remote builds; it remains triaged and open, while the API still uses one process-wide Emitter.
craft-cli issue #278	Support output formats Related work	mr-cal	759d	keep open	58	48	8	Maintainer-filed feature request (Aug 2023) for a craft-cli API to render data as tables or machine-readable JSON; still unimplemented, tracked as CRAFT-3513, and blocking snapcraft#5060.
craft-cli issue #172	Multiprocess operations can lead to spinner deadlock Related work	cmatsuoka	1161d	keep open	55	48	12	Maintainer-filed bug: craft-cli starts its _Spinner in a thread and acquires its lock on every message, so a forked child (e.g. craft-parts overlay chroot) deadlocks on a lock whose owner thread no longer exists. Still unfixed.
craft-cli issue #347	Handle interactive terminal inside emitter stream context	cmatsuoka	527d	needs triage	48	66	12	Open, untriaged feature request for interactive terminal I/O while Emitter.open_stream captures subprocess output, affecting craft test spread shell and debug flows.
craft-cli pr #510	fix: strip Sphinx roles and directives from plain help overviews Related work	Shahzeb-DataEngineer	11d	needs review	48	78	20	Adds plain-help stripping for Sphinx roles and directive markers while preserving content and Markdown output; tests are included, but the PR awaits maintainer review.
craft-cli issue #132	The help produced for a command options should give more information Related work	facundobatista	1387d	needs triage	42	49	8	Enhance option help to show value requirements, defaults, cardinality or repeatability, and choices. The current help pipeline renders option names and messages only, with no recorded design decision.
craft-cli issue #261	Disable long option abbreviation (`--destructive` vs `--destructive-mode`)	mattculler	839d	needs triage	42	90	29	Long-option abbreviation remains enabled in _CustomArgumentParser, allowing prefixes such as --destructive to match longer options; the issue is open and awaiting triage.
craft-cli issue #350	Accept a total of `0` for a progress bar and behave well in this case.	lengau	491d	keep open	42	72	20	Progress bars should accept total=0 as an unknown-total state instead of dividing by zero. The enhancement is triaged and remains open; the desired rendering needs definition and implementation.
craft-cli issue #232	Capture warnings and present them to developers.	lengau	995d	needs triage	42	74	22	Maintainer request to route Python warnings through logging.captureWarnings, hide them from normal output, and expose them to developers; still open and untriaged with no implementation found.
craft-cli issue #56	Simplify the Dispatcher usage	facundobatista	1738d	keep open	42	48	11	Maintainer-filed refactor to simplify the Dispatcher's 3-step usage (pre_parse_args → load_command → run); two competing designs proposed, neither implemented yet.
craft-cli pr #338	logger pollutes strings with white spaces Related work	dariuszd21	548d	needs review	41	28	8	Fixes newline/tab corruption in ephemeral BRIEF logger output; the unreviewed branch is 399 commits behind main and has failing linters and Ubuntu 20.04 tests.
craft-cli pr #481	feat: error early when help message is missing Related work	cmatsuoka	60d	needs review	40	66	18	Raises a CommandError during help generation when an argument lacks help text, fixing the IndexError from #242. Small 2-file diff (+52/-50), all CI checks green; awaiting maintainer review with 1 unresolved comment, inactive 32 days.
craft-cli issue #45	Simplify the application run/stop cycle	facundobatista	1794d	needs triage	40	75	18	Maintainer-filed feature request: add an `app_wrapper` context manager to craft-cli to handle emitter init, Dispatcher setup and exception/return-code handling. Design sketched in a 2022 comment; still not implemented in 3.4.x.
craft-cli issue #68	Better output information when requesting help for a command with bad... Related work	facundobatista	1697d	keep open	38	92	26	Command help still rejects extra command arguments; help close --bad-args should select close and render its help instead of reporting too many parameters.
craft-cli issue #361	Remove the default command Related work	mr-cal	471d	keep open	35	58	9	Maintainer tracking issue to remove the Dispatcher default_command/allow_default_command support once Snapcraft 10 (core28) ships. Intermediate step landed in PR #422 (error message path); full removal still pending.
craft-cli issue #351	Remove sphinx directives from overview texts Related work	lengau	491d	keep open	35	72	19	Enhancement: strip reST/sphinx directives from command overview texts, extending the double-backtick removal done in #306; triaged, linked to CRAFT-4623, still unimplemented in helptexts.py
craft-cli issue #159	Allow to show the current progress in the window titlebar Related work	sergio-costas	1226d	keep open	32	76	13	Feature request to add a bool param to Emitter.progress() that also sets the progress text as the terminal window title via ANSI OSC codes; proposed implementation PR #160 is open but stalled for ~3 years.
craft-cli issue #269	CraftError messages with new lines render inconsistently Related work	mr-cal	793d	close resolved	32	91	22	CraftError messages with embedded newlines added terminal padding before the resolution line; #270 fixed this in 0ca6940, shipped in 2.7.0.
craft-cli issue #242	Unhelpful error message when creating help if an argument doesn't have a help text Related work	lengau	980d	keep open	32	82	17	Help output for a command whose argument lacks help text renders badly (originally IndexError) instead of a clear error. Maintainer directed resolution to PR #481 (fail early on missing help), which is still open.
craft-cli issue #253	Use a command class's `__doc__` if `overview` does not exist	lengau	920d	keep open	32	62	15	Feature request (opened by maintainer lengau, 1 comment): make BaseCommand's `overview` optional, falling back to the command class's `__doc__`; the first line of `__doc__` could also become `help_msg`.
craft-cli issue #121	Provide a way to merge other log file into current one Related work	facundobatista	1505d	close resolved	30	5	1	Feature request to merge external log files (e.g. subprocess output) into the current log. Delivered as Emitter.append_to_log() in craft-cli 3.0.0 via commit 839986b (#331); issue was left open and is now obsolete.
craft-cli issue #128	Greeting doesn't output as expected Related work	mr-cal	1464d	keep open	30	82	14	Partially resolved: PR #301 stops duplicate greetings for repeated trace modes, but current code still prints the initial trace greeting before CLI --verbosity=quiet is parsed.
craft-cli pr #160	messages: allow to set the terminal window title Related work	sergio-costas	1226d	close stale	30	12	2	Adds an emitter API to set the terminal window title via ANSI escape codes, for #159. Idle 1103 days with 4 unresolved review comments; messages.py was refactored and tests reorganized since, so it needs rework rather than a rebase.
craft-cli pr #504	fix: raise TypeError for non-string items in humanize_list Related work	Shahzeb-DataEngineer	14d	needs review	30	60	16	Adds TypeError check to humanize_list for non-string items, addressing issue #413. Clean diff awaiting review; only CI failure is Canonical CLA.
craft-cli issue #200	Register the `help` command	mr-cal	1085d	keep open	30	86	18	The shared CLI handles help implicitly but does not register it, so '<app> help help' reports that help is missing. The maintainer-authored request remains open and reproducible.
craft-cli issue #342	Fix all warnings in RTD builds	bepri	541d	needs triage	30	86	21	RTD has ambiguous cross-reference warnings for CommandGroup and BaseCommand; warning-failure enforcement remains disabled pending closure.
craft-cli issue #125	When the Printer stops it needs to clean the last line if it was transient progress Related work	facundobatista	1484d	close resolved	30	85	18	Reporter (maintainer facundobatista) asked the Printer to clear the transient progress line when stopping or pausing. Implemented in PR #126 (commit 9f9df27, merged as 2cbced2); issue left open.
craft-cli issue #61	Don't add timestamps when the subprocess already does that Related work	facundobatista	1729d	keep open	30	70	18	Feature request by maintainer to add a `sub_with_timestamps` flag to emit.open_stream() so craft-cli skips adding its own timestamp when the subprocess already emits them. Still unimplemented; open_stream has no such parameter.
craft-cli issue #266	Provide a way for apps to warn users about deprecated features. Related work	lengau	820d	keep open	30	68	10	Maintainer-filed request for an Emitter deprecation-warning API (docs link, version-to-error, once-per-run, silencing). Emitter.warning() (#358) covers only basic warnings; the dedicated mechanism is unimplemented. Tracked as CRAFT-3174.
craft-cli issue #78	ArgumentParsingError for command not found should hint at the command that raised it	sergiusens	1651d	needs triage	28	52	12	Feature request: ArgumentParsingError carries no attribute naming the offending command, forcing downstream apps to dig into err.__context__ to distinguish unknown-command errors. Still unimplemented at HEAD.
craft-cli issue #371	Multi-line permanent progress doesn't overwrite temporary progress Related work	jonathan-conder	444d	close resolved	28	90	19	Bug in craft_cli printer: a permanent multi-line progress message did not fully overwrite a longer previous temporary progress line, leaving residual text ("bar foo foo"). Fixed by merged PR #445.
craft-cli issue #243	Brief Emitter mode still appears to be verbose when plugins are called ? Related work	flotter	970d	needs triage	28	30	4	User asks whether BRIEF mode can suppress subprocess output passed through emit.open_stream(); maintainers confirmed subprocess output is intentionally echoed ephemerally in BRIEF and deferred the question of desired behaviour.
craft-cli issue #135	logging handler is not using any formater	rgildein	1371d	needs triage	28	60	13	Enhancement request: craft_cli _Handler.emit uses record.getMessage() and ignores self.formatter, so log format can't be customised. Confirmed still unfixed at current HEAD; no maintainer response or labels.
craft-cli issue #31	Error message formatting	cmatsuoka	1815d	keep open	28	69	11	Open feature request to customize Emitter.error output with a prefix and optional color; prefix support is absent, while warning output already accepts a prefix.
craft-cli issue #9	Have a sub-char resolution in the progress bar Related work	facundobatista	1864d	keep open	28	90	19	Triaged enhancement for eighth-block progress rendering; the current printer still floors progress to whole full-block characters, leaving smoother sub-character resolution unimplemented.
craft-cli issue #287	Document the pytest plugin	lengau	751d	keep open	28	72	15	The pytest plugin has a basic how-to, but autodoc excludes it and its fixtures and assertion API remain incompletely documented; the enhancement is still open.
craft-cli issue #262	Always report error messages for incorrect usage Related work	mattculler	836d	keep open	28	92	21	No-command invocations still display general help instead of a specific “no command specified” error; the behavior remains in the current Dispatcher.
craft-cli issue #114	Present long/short options separated in the options table for markdown formatted help	facundobatista	1546d	keep open	28	88	19	Markdown help tables still combine short and long flags in one option cell; the maintainer’s requested separate short/long columns remains unimplemented.
craft-cli issue #183	Include humanize_list function as a utility Related work	lengau	1119d	keep open	25	57	7	humanize_list and unit tests now exist in craft-cli, but downstream craft-app migration remains unresolved; the humanize-based craft-parts experiment was closed unmerged.
craft-cli pr #369	fix: filter other commands by name instead of type	jonathan-conder	455d	needs review	25	78	16	Changes command help’s “See also” filtering from subclass/type checks to name comparison, fixing inherited commands that omit their parent. All CI checks pass, but maintainer review is still pending.
craft-cli issue #413	`humanize_list` accepts any value that can be coerced to a string for the... Related work	lengau	280d	keep open	18	60	8	humanize_list silently stringifies a non-string final item (f-string) instead of raising TypeError. Reproduced on current main; maintainer deferred it to the emitter oxidation (#411) and the desired direction (reject vs coerce) is still unanswered.
craft-cli issue #219	Provide limited choices for global arguments Related work	lengau	1022d	close resolved	12	92	10	Feature request for choices/validator on GlobalArgument is already implemented: craft_cli/dispatcher.py defines both fields, validates choices and applies the validator in _parse_options, and built-in --verbosity uses them.
craft-cli issue #149	Discuss whether we should maintain 'line-length = 99' Related work	tigarmo	1234d	close resolved	12	78	7	Style decision on line length: repo now consistently uses 88 (ruff, isort, .editorconfig, sphinx-lint) after black removal and starbase merge; no 99 remains anywhere, so the 99-vs-88 discussion is settled.
