/rhiza:status

Show the current rhiza sync status for the repo. Read-only; no scoring, no fixes, no issues.

/rhiza:status [path to a repo root] [--files] [--check]

The optional argument is the repo root to inspect; it defaults to the current repo.

What it does

Runs the bundled scripts/status.py — a stdlib-only read of .rhiza/template.lock — and reports:

• the template repository and ref,
• the synced commit SHA and timestamp,
• the sync strategy,
• the templates / paths that were materialized.

Pass --json for a machine-readable object whose fields mirror rhiza status --json. Pass --files (alias --tree) to append the managed files as a directory tree — the view the retired /rhiza:tree command used to give. Pass --check to compare the pinned ref against the latest upstream release and print whether you're up to date or N releases behind.

Notes

• Works without the rhiza CLI (and without PyYAML) — it reads the lock directly.
• If no template.lock is present the repo hasn't been synced yet; that's a hint, not an error.
• --check is the only option that needs network: it runs git ls-remote --tags (no gh, no auth for public repos). A git or network failure is reported, not fatal. Use /rhiza:update to actually apply a newer release.
