Lobster Farmer Feeder

Feed model-specific lobsters by invoking the local CLI and report the resulting growth metrics.

Workflow

1. 1. Confirm command context.

• - Run from the Lobster Farmer project root where bin/lobster-farmer.cjs exists.
• Prefer the installed command lobster-farmer; use node ./bin/lobster-farmer.cjs as fallback.

1. 2. Ensure service is reachable.

• - Check status first:

lobster-farmer status

• - If stopped, start service:

lobster-farmer start

• - Respect explicit user port preference with --port.

1. 3. Execute feed command.

• - Single feed:

lobster-farmer feed --model "<model>" --input-tokens <n> --output-tokens <m> [--emotion "<text>"] [--port <p>]

• - Short flags:

1. 4. Return result to user.

• - Include model name, input/output token values, emotion, lobster total tokens, feed count, and size.
• If requested, run multiple feed commands sequentially and summarize each result.

Parameter Rules

• - Require model as non-empty string.
• Require input_tokens + output_tokens > 0.
• INLINECODE6 is optional; if omitted, UI should show ?.
• Keep token values as integers and non-negative.
• If user gives only a single total token value, default to:

Error Handling

• - feed request failed: fetch failed:

• - API validation errors:

• - Port mismatch:
