reconciler_cli
An interactive REPL for exploring the reconciler module. Sets up a simulated three-resource state machine (device, transport, stream) with declared dependencies and lets you drive reconciliation manually — useful for understanding reconciler behaviour before wiring it into the node.
Build
From the repository root:
make cli
The binary is placed in build/cli/.
Usage
./reconciler_cli
Drops into an interactive prompt:
reconciler> _
Demo resources
Three resources are pre-configured:
| Resource | States | Notes |
|---|---|---|
device |
CLOSED → OPEN → STREAMING | Simulates a V4L2 device |
transport |
DISCONNECTED → CONNECTED | Depends on device=OPEN |
stream |
INACTIVE → ACTIVE | Depends on transport=CONNECTED and device=STREAMING |
Dependencies are checked before each transition: the reconciler will not advance a resource until all its prerequisites are met. Blocked resources show the unmet dependency in the status output.
Commands
status print all resources with current/wanted state and transition status
want <name> <state> set the desired state (by number or case-insensitive name)
tick run one reconciler tick
run tick until stable (max 20 ticks) or a failure occurs
fail <name> make the next action for this resource fail (simulates an error)
help show commands
quit / exit exit
Example session
reconciler> want device STREAMING
reconciler> want transport CONNECTED
reconciler> want stream ACTIVE
reconciler> run
[device] CLOSED → OPEN ok
[device] OPEN → STREAMING ok
[transport] DISCONNECTED → CONNECTED ok
[stream] INACTIVE → ACTIVE ok
reconciler> status
device current=STREAMING wanted=STREAMING
transport current=CONNECTED wanted=CONNECTED
stream current=ACTIVE wanted=ACTIVE
reconciler> fail transport
reconciler> tick
[transport] CONNECTED → DISCONNECTED error (simulated)
reconciler> status
device current=STREAMING wanted=STREAMING
transport current=DISCONNECTED wanted=CONNECTED (will retry)
stream current=ACTIVE wanted=ACTIVE (blocked: transport != CONNECTED)
Relationship to the Video Routing System
The reconciler module manages device open/close and transport connect/disconnect in the video node. reconciler_cli lets you exercise the BFS pathfinding, dependency checking, and event-driven tick logic without any real hardware — the same code paths that run in the node on every incoming command or timer event.
