Bug: __dirname is not defined in ESM context (agentdb-cli.js)

[adambkovacs]

Description

When running agentdb CLI commands in a project with "type": "module" in package.json, the CLI fails with:

❌ __dirname is not defined

Root Cause

dist/agentdb/cli/agentdb-cli.js line 55 uses __dirname:

const schemaPath = path.join(__dirname, '../schemas/frontier-schema.sql');

But __dirname is a CommonJS global that doesn't exist in ESM modules.

Fix

Add ESM compatibility shim at the top of the file:

import { fileURLToPath } from 'url';
import { dirname } from 'path';

// ESM compatibility fix for __dirname
const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url);
const __dirname = dirname(__filename);

Environment

• Node.js: v22.x
• agentic-flow: 1.10.2
• OS: macOS
• Project type: ESM ("type": "module" in package.json)

Workaround

Using pnpm patch to apply the fix locally until this is released.
