Problem

Three overlapping base classes exist for CLI tools:

  1. CliFramework (lib/Enterprise/CliFramework.php, lines 703-1461) - Current standard
  2. CLIApp (lib/Enterprise/CliFramework.php, lines 30-702) - Legacy, same file
  3. CliBase (lib/CliBase.php, 595 lines) - Separate lightweight alternative

Both CliBase and CLIApp duplicate features already in CliFramework: progress bars, banners, colored output, argument parsing.

Impact

  • ~1,300 lines of redundant code
  • Confusion about which base class to use
  • Inconsistent feature sets across tools

Proposal

  1. Migrate any unique CliBase/CLIApp features into CliFramework
  2. Update all tools that extend CLIApp or CliBase to extend CliFramework
  3. Remove CLIApp class and CliBase.php
  4. Update CLAUDE.md to reflect single base class

Acceptance Criteria

  • Single base class: CliFramework
  • CLIApp removed from CliFramework.php
  • CliBase.php deleted
  • All tools compile and run with new base class
  • No functionality regression

Partial progress:

CliBase migration complete:

  • All 4 fix/ scripts migrated from CliBase → CliFramework
  • CliBase now has zero consumers in the codebase (only referenced in template for client repos)
  • CliBase.php can be safely deprecated

CLIApp still used by:

  • deploy/deploy-sftp.php (578 lines)
  • cli/deploy_joomla.php (1130 lines)

These are complex deployment scripts — migrating them requires careful testing. Leaving this issue open for the remaining CLIApp → CliFramework migration.

CliFramework enhancements added:

  • confirm() method (was in CLIApp/CliBase but missing from CliFramework)
  • input(), select(), table() interactive methods
  • jsonOutput() standard JSON envelope
  • EXIT_* constants

Consolidation complete.

Changes:

  • deploy/deploy-sftp.php — migrated from CLIApp → CliFramework (getOption→getArgument, log order fix)
  • cli/deploy_joomla.php — migrated from CLIApp → CliFramework (same pattern)
  • fix/fix_*.php — 4 scripts already migrated in previous commit
  • tests/test_enterprise_libraries.php — updated to use CliFramework
  • lib/Enterprise/CliFramework.php — removed 673-line CLIApp body, replaced with 40-line compatibility shim
  • CLIApp now extends CliFramework with bridge methods (getOption→getArgument, setupArguments→configure)
  • CliFramework.php reduced from ~1500 → ~1030 lines

No scripts depend on CLIApp directly anymore. The shim exists only for backward compatibility with client repos that may still reference it.

CliBase status: Zero consumers in codebase (only template reference). Can be deleted when ready.

27 tests pass, 44 assertions.
