Summary

When a user's POST /v1/users gets a 5xx or no answer, the import counted the user as failed, while clerk migrate runs <id> listed the same user as not confirmed. The run's line says creating, because Clerk may hold the user and a continue looks it up before creating it again. The import was the one that was wrong, and "Failed" could lead someone to recreate the user by hand.

Changes

• ImportSummary gets an unconfirmed count. recordFailure counts an unknown outcome there instead of in failed.
• The summary prints Not confirmed: N, and --json adds result.unconfirmed. result.failed now counts only users Clerk answered with a refusal.
• The import still exits 1 when any user is unconfirmed. The run is partial, the next step is the continue, and exit 0 would tell a script the migration finished when Clerk may not hold the user.
• The README's exit-code rule and the creating paragraph say so.

The progress bar's ✗ failed count now leaves unconfirmed users out, like the summary. They still count toward the bar's total. A separate count on the bar would need a change to lib/progress.ts that the ticket didn't ask for.

Testing

• New run.test.ts cases cover the summary line, the next step, the exit code, and result.unconfirmed. The import-users.test.ts cases that pinned failed: 1 for an unknown outcome now expect unconfirmed: 1.
• bun test src/ --parallel in packages/cli-core: 6600 pass. Typecheck, oxfmt, and oxlint are clean.

Walkthrough

Migration imports now classify unanswered user creation requests as unconfirmed instead of failed. The import summary and JSON result include the unconfirmed count. Run summaries describe these users, continued imports check for existing users, and imports exit with status 1 when unconfirmed users exist. Tests and documentation cover 5xx responses, network errors, missing user IDs, and reserved creates.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: a create with no answer (5xx or network error) is now counted as not confirmed instead of failed. It matches the changeset, which adds an unconfirmed count to ImportSummary, updates import-users.ts and run.ts, and updates the tests.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is related to the changeset. It explains why an unanswered user create should count as not confirmed, lists the ImportSummary unconfirmed count, the printed 'Not confirmed' line, the --json field, the exit-1 rule, and the README update, and describes the tests that were added or changed.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 33.33% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 3 functions across 5 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

5xx create counted as Not confirmed

The 503 user moved from Failed to a new Not confirmed line, now matching runs, and the import still exits 1.
