Summary

Adds clerk logs get <id>, the group-ID half of CORE-4344. It shows the logs of one log group, a sign-in (sia_…) or a sign-up (sua_…), oldest first. The single-log half waits on CORE-4354, because GET /v1/logs/{event_id} doesn't accept a bare UUID yet. clerk logs is still experimental and needs CLERK_EXPERIMENTAL=logs.

  • Endpoint: GET /v1/logs/groups/{group_id}/events with Clerk-API-Version: 2026-08-20. It sends no started_at, because the BAPI now looks the group's start up from its ID (clerk_go #24006, CORE-4355). Targeting and secret-key resolution are the same as list.
  • ID parsing (parseLogLookup) returns a tagged union, { kind: "group", groupType } | { kind: "log" }, so the log-ID path can be added later:
    • sia_… / sua_… are accepted.
    • A UUID is a usage error (exit 2): "Looking up a single log by its ID isn't supported yet. Pass the ID of a log group instead: a sign-in ID (sia_…) or a sign-up ID (sua_…)."
    • Anything else, or no ID, is a usage error that lists the accepted forms.
  • 404 becomes a CliError with the new code log_group_not_found: "Log group not found: no log group sua_… in my-app (development). Check the ID and the targeted instance (--app, --instance); a group older than your plan's log retention isn't found either." The instance comes from describeBapiTarget. When --secret-key or CLERK_SECRET_KEY chose the key, the message says "the instance of this secret key", since there's no app to name.
  • Flags:
    • Accepted: the same event filters as list (same validation), --limit and --cursor (sent as starting_after; the grouped list's events_cursor works too), --json, and --secret-key / --app / --instance.
    • Not registered: --grouped, --group-type, --status, --follow, --interval.
    • Time flags are left off too. The endpoint ignores event_time_before and picks a group's logs by when the group started, so --to would be silently ignored.
  • Limit and paging: --limit is 1-500, default 50. 500 is the endpoint's real max (pagination.MaxLimit); the 100 cap only applies to view=grouped. The endpoint returns full pages (no adaptive time windows), so one request covers --limit and there's no auto-paging loop. That matches list, which only loops to fill short windows. Paging is forward only.
  • JSON: the { data, cursor } envelope, where cursor holds only next. The endpoint returns no searched_* or retention fields, and making them up would mislead.
  • Human output: a header (group type and ID, then a dim line with Started … and Subject …), the same event table as list (PAYLOAD with --fields), and the dim summary with the next --cursor. The subject follows the grouped list's rule: the latest user_ subject in the fetched logs, otherwise the first log's subject. The endpoint doesn't return the group's status, so the header leaves it out.

Evidence

  • bun test packages/cli-core/src/commands/logs/get.test.ts: 37 pass. Covers ID parsing (group, UUID rejected, invalid, missing), path and params (no started_at, filters, limit, cursor), 404 in all three targeting cases, other errors passed through, a malformed body, one request when more logs remain, JSON and agent output, and human output (header, table, PAYLOAD, empty group).
  • Every logs test file run one at a time: filters 48, follow 73, gate 16 (now expects get, and logs get is refused while the gate is off), list 44, schema 30, shared 7, time 60. Completion 53, error-codes 7.
  • Every one of the 242 cli-core test files run one at a time (local Bun is 1.3.5, so bun run test refuses to start). The only failure is src/lib/version.test.ts (compiled-binary fixture), which also fails without this change.
  • bun run format:check, bun run lint, bun run typecheck: clean. bun changeset status --since=origin/main: clerk minor.
  • Manual run against a local fake BAPI:
    • Requests sent: GET /v1/logs/groups/sua_…/events?limit=3&type=sign_up.* with Clerk-API-Version: 2026-08-20.
    • Output: the human layout above, and exit 1 with log_group_not_found on a 404.
    • Usage errors: UUID, invalid ID and missing ID exit 2, and --limit 501 exits 2.
  • New E2E test/e2e/logs-get.test.ts:
    • Signs a user up through FAPI and polls clerk logs get <sua_id> --json until sign_up.created shows up.
    • Asserts the envelope, that every log has group_id === sua_id and group_type === "sign_up", oldest-first order, --limit 1 plus --cursor continuing the group, and log_group_not_found for an unknown ID.
    • Not run locally (no 1Password); CI runs it on this PR.

Merge Danger

  • Door: Two-way. The command sits behind CLERK_EXPERIMENTAL=logs, so nobody without the variable can reach it. It adds a subcommand and an error code, and changes nothing about list, follow or schema except exporting printTable. Reverting is a clean revert.
  • Blast Radius: Small. Only users who opt in to the experiment. It depends on the production BAPI accepting a request with no started_at (#24006, deployed). If that regressed, get would fail with the API's 422, and the E2E would catch it.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Show the logs of one log group (a sign-in `sia_…` or sign-up `sua_…`),
oldest first, from GET /v1/logs/groups/{group_id}/events without
started_at, which the Backend API now looks up from the group's ID.
It takes the list's event filters, --limit (1-500, the endpoint's max)
and --cursor, and prints a { data, cursor } envelope with --json. An
unknown group is a log_group_not_found error naming the targeted
instance. A log ID (UUID) is recognized but refused until
GET /v1/logs/{id} accepts a bare log ID (CORE-4354).

Walkthrough

Adds clerk logs get <id> to retrieve sign-in and sign-up log groups. The command supports event filters, pagination, and human or JSON output. It is available through the logs experiment gate. The change also adds unit and live API end-to-end tests, documents the command and endpoint, and adds a log_group_not_found error code.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Possibly related PRs

  • clerk/cli#612: Adds the logs command foundation and shared request and log types that this command uses.
  • clerk/cli#615: Adds the filter contract and query parameters reused by the get command.

Suggested reviewers: dmoerner, brkalow

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 67467

The new experimental command may fail for every group ID if the live API enforces the documented required started_at parameter. Confirm the behavior against the live API before merging; the command is gated behind an experiment flag, which limits exposure.

Explanation

The title "feat(logs): add clerk logs get &lt;group-id&gt;" names the main change: a new clerk logs get subcommand that retrieves sign-in or sign-up log group events. The changeset adds this command, its ID parsing, flags, error code, README, and tests, so the title matches the primary change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states the command being added (clerk logs get &lt;id&gt;) for sign-in and sign-up log groups, and it covers the endpoint, ID parsing, flags, the new log_group_not_found error, JSON and human output, the printTable export, and the E2E test. It is closely related to the changeset.

Matches logs get shows one sign-up group

Before, logs get was parsed as extra args to list and failed with no request; after, it calls the group endpoint without started_at and prints the header, oldest-first table and next cursor.

Send the group's started_at with the events request.

The events endpoint requires started_at. The 2026-08-20 Backend API reference, which this PR pins, lists it as a required query parameter. buildGroupEventsPath in get.ts:146-147 sends only limit, the optional cursor, and filters. A request without a required parameter can receive the documented 422 Invalid request parameters response. In that case, clerk logs get fails for every group ID.

The clerk-docs guide at docs/guides/dashboard/logs/application-logs.mdx:21 also says this request takes the group's started_at. The PR description says omitting started_at is intentional. That choice conflicts with the documented contract. Confirm the requirement against the live API before merging.

Obtain the group's started_at and pass it as the started_at query parameter. The current code does not show how to get that value from a group ID alone. If the API does not provide it, document the limitation in the command's README and handle the failure explicitly.
