Lokindi CLI

Run every Lokindi service — standard & custom encryption, semantic encoding, steganography, Auralith image→audio, storage — straight from your terminal (cmd / PowerShell / macOS Terminal / Linux shell).

pip install lokindi-cli      # or: pipx install lokindi-cli
lokindi login                # then pick a service by number, or:
lokindi --help               # commands are built from the server manifest
lokindi encrypt standard --content "hello" --package <code> --network <code>
lokindi encrypt file --in ./secret.pdf --package <code> --network <code>
lokindi usage quota

After lokindi login you get an interactive menu of the services your account unlocks: pick a number (e.g. Encryption), then choose Text or File. Text input is capped at the platform's per-message character limit (enforced before the request is sent); files are uploaded and encrypted server-side. The same flow is available any time via lokindi services.

Architecture (thin client)

The CLI runs no cryptography locally. It authenticates, fetches a per-account command manifest from GET /api/v1/cli/manifest/, and builds its commands dynamically from that manifest. Every command maps to a REST endpoint on the Lokindi API; the server stays the single source of truth for behaviour, limits, and billing.

• Auth: JWT Bearer; tokens stored in the OS keyring (Windows Credential Manager / macOS Keychain / Linux Secret Service).
• Config: ~/.lokindi/config.toml (profiles, API base URL).
• Manifest cache: ~/.lokindi/manifest.json + ETag, so --help works offline and revalidates cheaply (If-None-Match → 304).

Static commands (login, logout, whoami, version, config) are built in; only service commands come from the manifest.

Development

• Layout & internals: see ARCHITECTURE.md.
• Editable install: pip install -e . (installs lokindi and lokindi-admin).
• Debugging a missing-commands --help: set LOKINDI_DEBUG=1 to see why the dynamic manifest didn't load (offline / not logged in).
• Switch environments: lokindi config set-url <url> --profile dev then lokindi --profile dev … (tokens are stored per profile).
