feat(cases): add log-time SDK method + CLI command for human time logging#309
Merged
Conversation
…ging
The cases service exposes POST /api/v1/cases/{n}/time-logs to record billable
human time on a case (the measured human-effort input that nets down the AI
cost/savings figure), but there was no SDK or CLI way to call it. Add:
- Cases.log_time(case_number, billable_seconds, cost_profile=None,
assignee=None, note=None) -> POST .../time-logs, mirroring add_note.
- `limacharlie case log-time --case-number N --seconds S [--cost-profile K]
[--assignee A] [--note T]`, with a client-side positive-seconds check.
Unit tests for both (SDK body/verb/path + optional handling; CLI invocation +
non-positive rejection) and updated the subcommand-structure regression test.

What was asked
Humans had no way to log their time on a case from the SDK or CLI. The cases service already exposes a time-logs endpoint, but nothing in this client called it, so the human-effort input to the AI cost/savings model could never be populated. Add the SDK method and CLI command.
What was done
Cases.log_time(case_number, billable_seconds, cost_profile=None, assignee=None, note=None)→POST api/v1/cases/{n}/time-logs, mirroring the existingadd_note(optional fields omitted from the body when unset).limacharlie case log-time --case-number N --seconds S [--cost-profile K] [--assignee A] [--note T], with a client-side positive-seconds guard for a clean error.cost_profiletags the logged time with a cost-model profile key so it can be valued at that profile's rate downstream.Key files:
