Recorder CLI

Purpose

Provide a Node.js (18+) CLI that uses PM2 to start/stop a lightweight HTTP service. The service stores up to N incoming payloads in-memory (FIFO), and a log command outputs the stored entries in reverse order (newest first) as JSONL.

Always stop the server when finishing a debugging session.

Commands

• start runs the service under PM2 (daemonized).
• serve runs the HTTP server in the current process (for PM2 or local debugging).
• stop stops the PM2 service.
• log prints logs in JSONL format, newest first.
• --help prints usage and exits.

Inputs

• --port (default 4105)
• --window (default 100)
• Env PORT (fallback if --port not set)
• Env PAYLOAD_WINDOW (fallback if --window not set)

Usage

• node recorder-cli.js start --port 4105
• node recorder-cli.js start --port 4105 --window 100
• node recorder-cli.js log --port 4105
• node recorder-cli.js stop
• node recorder-cli.js --help

Tool location

• The tool lives at .claude/skills/lbp-create-check/recorder-cli.js.

Operational notes

• If the configured port is already in use by this service, attempt to stop it before starting again.
• All HTTP methods are recorded (POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, etc). Only GET /_logs is handled specially.
