Summary

  • add mb content-translation download to stream the complete translation dictionary CSV to stdout
  • add mb content-translation upload --file <path> to upload the complete dictionary as multipart form data
  • expose typed client methods with Metabase version and premium-feature requirements
  • document the workflow and cover client behavior, command help, and licensed E2E round trips

Agent authorship

This PR and its implementation were fully written by an AI coding agent.

Testing

  • bun run check (118 test files, 1321 tests; typecheck, lint, formatting, and skill lint all passed)
  • bun run build
  • CLI help smoke checks for both new commands
  • licensed content-translation E2E tests are included; they skip when the local Metabase instance does not expose the content_translation feature

Closes #47

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added CLI commands to download and upload the complete content translation dictionary as CSV.
    • Added client support for content translation dictionary operations.
    • Added profile, connection, and JSON output options.
    • Uploads replace the existing dictionary and support files up to 1.5 MiB.
  • Documentation

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CLI now provides profile-authenticated content-translation download and upload commands. The client adds streamed CSV download, multipart upload, response validation, capability gates, documentation, wire-level tests, and an end-to-end round trip.

Changes

Content translation workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Typed client resource
packages/client/src/domain/content-translation.ts, packages/client/src/resources/content-translation.ts, packages/client/src/client.ts, packages/client/src/index.ts, packages/client/src/resources/content-translation.test.ts
Adds the typed content translation resource. Downloads return CSV streams. Uploads send multipart CSV data and validate success: true responses.
CLI command integration
packages/cli/src/commands/content-translation/*, packages/cli/src/main.ts, packages/cli/src/output/views/content-translation.ts, packages/cli/src/runtime/command-help.test.ts, README.md, packages/cli/skill-data/core/SKILL.md
Adds the command group and its download/upload commands. Registers version 58 and content_translation capability requirements. Documents complete-dictionary replacement, CSV handling, profiles, JSON output, and the 1.5 MiB limit.
End-to-end validation
tests/e2e/content-translation.e2e.test.ts
Tests local file validation and authenticated download/upload round trips against the content translation endpoints.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e9932

The new full-dictionary translation workflow currently lacks cancellation propagation for potentially blocking downloads, while its E2E coverage can leave server state changed and does not prove that uploads replace the dictionary. These create bounded availability and correctness risks, so merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance.

Pass an interruption signal through the streaming path.

The CSV download and stdout pipe can block until the transfer completes. Line 26 does not accept interruptSignal, and Line 28 does not pass one to the client request. Thread interruptSignal through the command runtime, contentTranslation.download, and output piping so cancellation can abort the transfer.

As per coding guidelines, “Operations that can block must accept interruptSignal explicitly, including ... long-running fetches.”

Use the public client export at both CLI sites.

Both files import a client domain schema through a private path. packages/client/src/index.ts now exports this schema publicly. Import it from @metabase/client instead.

  • packages/cli/src/commands/content-translation/upload.ts#L1-L1: replace the deep domain import with @metabase/client.
  • packages/cli/src/output/views/content-translation.ts#L1-L1: replace the deep domain import with @metabase/client.

As per coding guidelines, CLI code may type-import only published resource subpaths.

Proposed fix
-import { ContentTranslationUploadResult } from "`@metabase/client/domain/content-translation`";
+import { ContentTranslationUploadResult } from "`@metabase/client`";

Add the compact upload-result schema.

Define ContentTranslationUploadResult as a loose Zod object, add ContentTranslationUploadResultCompact = ContentTranslationUploadResult.pick({ success: true }).strip(), and use it for contentTranslationUploadView.compactPick.

Test replacement instead of successful row presence.

A merge endpoint can pass these assertions because it can retain existing rows and add the uploaded rows. Upload two dictionaries with distinct marker translations. After the second upload, assert that the second marker exists and the first marker is absent.

Restore the active dictionary after the test.

This test replaces persistent server state and only removes local temporary directories. If upload or verification fails, the active dictionary remains changed. Download the original CSV before mutation, then restore it with runCli in a finally block.

As per coding guidelines, E2E tests must invoke the CLI only through runCli.
