docs(base44-troubleshooter): say that --follow --json is NDJSON - #159
Merged
Conversation
A live tail cannot be the "single machine-readable JSON document" the CLI's --json rule promises elsewhere: writeFollowLine emits one object per line as lines arrive (logs.ts:127-130), and on a lost stream the error is appended as one more object by writeJsonError (Base44Command.ts:42-66). A consumer waiting for a closing bracket waits forever. Says so, and shows the error envelope, so an agent parsing --follow --json treats the failure as data rather than as truncated output.

Follow-up to #157 / #158, from
cli-logs-realtime's reading of the CLI source.base44 logs --follow --jsondoes not produce the "single machine-readable JSON document" the CLI's--jsonconvention promises elsewhere — a live tail can't. Verified in climain:writeFollowLine(packages/cli/src/cli/commands/project/logs.ts:127-130) writes oneJSON.stringify(entry)per line as lines arrive.writeJsonError(packages/cli/src/cli/utils/command/Base44Command.ts:42-66) appends one more object on its own line, carryingerror,code: "API_ERROR"and the two hints, becausestreamLostError()is anApiError.So a consumer waiting for a closing bracket waits forever, and one that parses per line sees the failure as data. This page is read mainly by agents driving the CLI from a loop, which is exactly who that bites.
Adds the NDJSON rule and shows the error envelope.
Note: this commit was originally pushed to #158's branch a moment after that PR merged, so it never appeared in it. Re-homed here off current
