# Config-Audit: Fix

Auto-fix deterministic configuration issues. Scans, plans fixes, backs up originals, applies changes, and verifies results.

## Arguments

- `$ARGUMENTS` may contain:
  - A target path (default: current working directory)
  - `--dry-run`: Show fix plan without applying
  - `--raw`: Pass-through to scanners; produces v5.0.0 verbatim envelope (bypasses the humanizer) for byte-stable diff tooling

## Implementation

### Step 1: Greet and scan

Tell the user:

```
## Config-Audit Fix

Scanning for auto-fixable issues...
```

Parse flags and run scanners silently. Default mode emits humanized JSON — each finding carries `userImpactCategory`, `userActionLanguage`, and `relevanceContext` alongside the v5.0.0 fields:

```bash
RAW_FLAG=""
if echo "$ARGUMENTS" | grep -q -- "--raw"; then RAW_FLAG="--raw"; fi
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scanners/scan-orchestrator.mjs <path> --output-file /tmp/config-audit-fix-scan-$$.json [--global] $RAW_FLAG 2>/dev/null; echo $?
```

Exit code 3 → tell user: "Scanner error. Try `/config-audit posture` to check your configuration."

### Step 2: Plan fixes

Run fix planner silently. The fix-cli emits humanized prose to stderr in default mode and v5.0.0-shape JSON to stdout when `--json` is set; we use `--json` here for structured data and let the humanizer-aware rendering layer (this command's prose output below) supply the plain-language wording from the scan envelope above:

```bash
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scanners/fix-cli.mjs <path> --json 2>/dev/null
```

Read the JSON output using the Read tool. Cross-reference each fix-plan entry against the humanized scan envelope (`/tmp/config-audit-fix-scan-$$.json`) by finding ID to recover the humanized `title`/`description`/`recommendation` plus `userImpactCategory`/`userActionLanguage` for grouping.

### Step 3: Present fix plan

Show what will be fixed and what needs manual attention. Group by `userActionLanguage` so the urgency phrasing stays consistent with the rest of the toolchain:

```markdown
### Fix Plan

**Auto-fixable ({N} issues), grouped by impact:**

{For each userActionLanguage bucket in priority order — "Fix this now" → "Fix soon" → "Fix when convenient" → "Optional cleanup" → "FYI":}

#### {userActionLanguage}

| # | ID | Issue | File |
|---|-----|-------|------|
| 1 | {id} | {humanized title} | {file} |

**Manual ({M} issues — require human judgment), grouped by impact:**

{Same userActionLanguage grouping. Render humanized title and recommendation verbatim — the humanizer already produced plain-language strings, do not paraphrase.}

| # | ID | Issue | Recommendation |
|---|-----|-------|----------------|
| 1 | {id} | {humanized title} | {humanized recommendation} |
```

### Step 4: Confirm with user

If not `--dry-run`, ask for confirmation:

```
AskUserQuestion:
  question: "Apply {N} auto-fixes? A backup is created first — you can roll back anytime."
  options:
    - "Yes, apply fixes"
    - "Show dry-run only"
    - "Cancel"
```

### Step 5: Apply fixes

If confirmed, apply:

```bash
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scanners/fix-cli.mjs <path> --apply --json 2>/dev/null
```

Read the JSON output to get applied/failed counts and backup location.

### Step 6: Show results

Run a quick posture check to measure improvement:

```bash
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scanners/posture.mjs <path> --json --output-file /tmp/config-audit-fix-posture-$$.json 2>/dev/null
```

Present results:

```markdown
### Results

**{applied} fixed** | {failed} failed | Backup created

{If grade improved:}
Score impact: {old_grade} ({old_score}) → {new_grade} ({new_score}) — **+{delta} points**

{If failed > 0:}
{failed} fix(es) couldn't be applied — run `/config-audit plan` for alternative approaches.

**Rollback:** If anything looks wrong, run `/config-audit rollback {backup-id}` to restore.
```

### Step 7: Manual findings

If manual findings exist:

```markdown
### Needs manual attention

These {M} issues require human judgment:

1. **{title}** ({id}) — {recommendation}
2. ...

Run `/config-audit plan` to get a step-by-step guide for addressing these.
```

## Safety

- Backup is **mandatory** — every fix creates a backup first
- Dry-run by default — user must confirm before changes
- Verify after fix — re-scans to confirm findings resolved
- Rollback always available — `/config-audit rollback <backup-id>`
