Evidence

  • filare --help never references quantity multipliers or filare-qty; users miss BOM scaling.
  • filare-qty --help lacks defaults, examples, and workflow order; short flag -f conflicts with filare -f.
  • Default multiplier filename/location are implicit; no validation/reporting commands exist.

User Impact

Persona A/D skip the quantity step; Persona B/C cannot script reliable flows or verify applied multipliers; wasted reruns and inconsistent BOM counts.

Suggested Next Steps

  • Integrate quantity commands under the main CLI (e.g., filare harness qty ...) with visible defaults.
  • Provide validate/report subcommands (table/JSON) and examples showing init → validate → apply sequence.
  • Keep filare-qty as a shim with a deprecation notice pointing to the integrated commands.
