jcoffey-dev d2bb9de245 Add sentryctl agents CLI surface
sentryctl agents list|get, config get|set|clear, restart -- same
list/get shape as dashboards/alerts, plus a config sub-subcommand
mirroring dashboards' permissions since an override has its own
lifecycle distinct from the agent resource itself.

config set is the one command with real logic: since PUT
/agents/{host}/config replaces the whole stored override rather than
patching individual fields, it fetches the agent's current effective
config first and merges only the flags actually passed on top of it,
mirroring the web UI's edit form logic in Go. restart requires
explicit confirmation (interactive y/N or --yes) and refuses on
non-interactive stdin without --yes, the same posture cmd_query.go's
--nl/--execute already established for anything that changes what's
running.

Live-verified the merge logic specifically, since it's the part most
likely to hide a real bug: setting one field on a clean agent
correctly carried forward its other reported values, and a second
config set call correctly carried forward the first call's override
rather than resetting it to the reported baseline. config clear and
restart --yes both round-tripped against a live agent, with the
restart picked up and acted on within one check-in cycle.

This closes out the agent-management punch list (restart, fleet-wide
alerting, this CLI surface) -- see /docs/agent-management-design.md.

sentryctl

Sentry's control CLI.

sentryctl ping                              # checks http://localhost:8080/healthz
sentryctl ping --api http://api.internal:8080
SENTRYCTL_API_URL=http://api.internal:8080 sentryctl ping

Exits 0 and prints ok if /api's /healthz responds 200; exits 1 with an error on stderr otherwise.

sentryctl query 'service=api | where status>=500 | stats count by host'
sentryctl query 'SELECT * FROM logs LIMIT 10' --language sql
sentryctl query 'message:"connection refused"' --json

Quote the query in your shell — pipe syntax uses |, which your shell interprets as an actual pipe if you don't. Hits the exact same POST /query endpoint the web UI does (internal/querylang in /api does the compiling; there's no separate query logic here to drift out of sync — see /docs/query-language-reference.md). --language overrides auto-detection, same optional override the HTTP API itself exposes. Prints a table by default (stdlib text/tabwriter, no new dependency); --json prints the raw {columns, rows} response instead.

sentryctl dashboards list
sentryctl dashboards get <id>
sentryctl dashboards apply dashboard.json    # imports a dashboard exported via the web UI's "Export JSON" button

sentryctl dashboards permissions list <dashboard-id>
sentryctl dashboards permissions grant <dashboard-id> <user-id> viewer|editor
sentryctl dashboards permissions revoke <dashboard-id> <user-id>

sentryctl alerts list
sentryctl alerts get <id>
sentryctl alerts apply rule.json             # creates a rule from a JSON file shaped like POST /rules's body

dashboards permissions is Phase 4's per-resource dashboard grant (api/dashboards.PermissionStore) — additive-only, raises someone to viewer or editor on one specific dashboard (Admin/Owner already have tenant-wide access, so the server rejects any other role). On plain api (no enterprise-api, no permission service wired in) every permissions call fails with a 501 whose message says so explicitly — that's the deployment telling you this feature isn't available, not a CLI bug.

dashboards talks to /api (--api, same override as query/ping). alerts talks to /alerting, a separate service with its own base URL (--alerting-api, or $SENTRYCTL_ALERTING_API_URL, default http://localhost:8081) — see /docs/phase-3-alerting-design.md's component boundary for why alerting isn't just another /api route. apply in both cases sends the file's JSON as-is to the corresponding create/import endpoint — no reshaping, since the file's shape already matches what the endpoint expects (the same JSON the web UI's export button downloads, or the same shape GET /rules/{id} returns). This is deliberately the seed of a future Terraform provider: one JSON contract, multiple callers (web export, CLI apply, eventually a provider), not three different formats to keep in sync.

No CLI framework (cobra/urfave-cli/etc.) — six commands split across a few files (cmd_ping.go, cmd_query.go, cmd_dashboards.go, cmd_alerts.go) is still boring enough not to need one; stdlib os.Args handling plus a hand-rolled switch in main.go covers it. Revisit once there's a real command tree (nested subcommands, nontrivial flag parsing) to justify a dependency.
