Implements input override validation for step/CLI inputs that override model definition attributes (implicit inputs). This ensures users get helpful error messages when providing invalid input keys or type mismatches. Closes #244 ## Changes ### New Files - `src/domain/inputs/input_override_validation_service.ts` - Validation service with Levenshtein-based typo detection - `src/domain/inputs/input_override_validation_service_test.ts` - 16 unit tests covering all validation scenarios - `integration/input_override_validation_test.ts` - Integration tests for CLI and workflow paths ### Modified Files - `src/domain/inputs/mod.ts` - Export new service - `src/cli/commands/model_method_run.ts` - Add validation before applying overrides - `src/domain/workflows/execution_service.ts` - Add validation for workflow step inputs ### Integration Test Fixes Fixed several integration tests that broke due to: - Workflow filename pattern (`workflow-{uuid}.yaml` required by `YamlWorkflowRepository.findAll()`) - CEL bracket notation (requires double quotes: `inputs["key"]` not `inputs['key']`) - Vault expression resolution (tests must call `resolveVaultExpressionsInDefinition` after `evaluateDefinition`) ## Implementation vs Plan (#244) | Planned Item | Status | |-------------|--------| | Create `InputOverrideValidationService` | ✅ | | Fail if input key doesn't exist | ✅ | | Fail if type doesn't match | ✅ | | Typo suggestions via `findClosestKey()` | ✅ | | Update CLI path (`model_method_run.ts`) | ✅ | | Update workflow path (`execution_service.ts`) | ✅ | | Unit tests (5 planned) | ✅ 16 tests | ### Enhancement Beyond Plan Added **definition input filtering** to distinguish between: - **Definition inputs** (`inputs.properties`) - used with `${{ inputs.X }}` expressions - **Implicit attribute overrides** - for directly setting model attributes Without this filtering, valid definition inputs would be incorrectly rejected by `inputAttributesSchema` validation. ## Test Plan ### Manual Testing (from issue) ```bash # Invalid key - fails with helpful message ✅ swamp model method run testEcho write --input '{"invalidKey": "value"}' # => Unknown input key "invalidKey" # Type mismatch - fails with type error ✅ swamp model method run testEcho write --input '{"message": 123}' # => expected string, received number # Valid override - succeeds ✅ swamp model method run testEcho write --input '{"message": "override"}' ``` ## Automated Testing - deno check - Type checking passes - deno lint - Linting passes - deno fmt - Formatting passes - deno run test - All 1669 tests pass - deno run compile - Binary compiles successfully

Code Review Summary
This PR implements input override validation for step/CLI inputs that override model definition attributes (implicit inputs), ensuring users get helpful error messages for invalid input keys or type mismatches. The implementation is well-structured and follows the project's conventions.
✅ No Blocking Issues Found
The code is ready for merge.
Code Quality Assessment
TypeScript Strict Mode & Type Safety
- ✅ No
anytypes in new domain code (input_override_validation_service.ts) - ✅ The
AnyOptionspattern in CLI commands follows the established codebase convention with properdeno-lint-ignorecomments (workaround for Cliffy's type inference limitations) - ✅ Proper use of
z.ZodTypeAnyfor Zod schema typing - ✅ Strong typing for interfaces (
InputOverrideError,InputOverrideValidationResult)
Named Exports
- ✅ All new files use named exports (no default exports)
- ✅ Properly exported through
mod.tsbarrel file
Domain-Driven Design
- ✅
InputOverrideValidationServiceis correctly implemented as a Domain Service - it's stateless and performs validation operations spanning multiple concerns (schema introspection, value validation, typo detection) - ✅ Clean separation of concerns - the service handles validation logic while CLI/workflow code handles orchestration
- ✅ Proper error types with structured data (
InputOverrideError) following the existingInputValidationErrorpattern
Test Coverage
- ✅ 16 unit tests in
input_override_validation_service_test.tscovering:- Valid inputs with correct types
- Unknown keys
- Typo suggestions (Levenshtein distance)
- Type mismatches (string, number, boolean)
- Empty inputs
- Optional fields
- Arrays, nested objects
- Multiple errors
- Defaults, records, unions, nullable fields, enums
- ✅ Comprehensive integration tests in
integration/input_override_validation_test.tscovering both CLI and workflow paths
Security
- ✅ No security vulnerabilities identified
- ✅ Input validation properly rejects invalid keys and types before they reach execution
- ✅ No injection risks - uses Zod's
safeParsefor type validation
Suggestions (Non-Blocking)
-
Line 262-266 in
input_override_validation_service.ts: The ternary foractualTypedetermination could be slightly more readable with a helper function, but the current implementation is clear enough. -
workflow_search.tsadditions: The new interactive UI features (input_file_select_output.tsx,workflow_action_select_output.tsx) are well-structured but appear to be tangentially related to the main PR goal. Consider splitting UI enhancements into a separate PR for cleaner history - though this is minor since all changes work together. -
Experiment cleanup: The PR removes the entire
experiments/directory which appears to be a positive cleanup effort removing unused code.
Implementation Highlights
- Typo detection: Excellent UX with Levenshtein distance-based suggestions (
"mesage"→Did you mean "message"?) - Definition input filtering: Smart distinction between definition inputs (
${{ inputs.X }}) and implicit attribute overrides - Error messages: Comprehensive error formatting with suggestions and available keys
- Integration test fixes: Good attention to detail fixing broken tests (workflow filename patterns, CEL bracket notation, vault expression resolution order)
The PR description is well-documented with clear implementation notes and test plan.
Implements input override validation for step/CLI inputs that override model definition attributes (implicit inputs). This
ensures users get helpful error messages when providing invalid input keys or type mismatches.
