Add -o/--output flag to dictate command for text/json modes#192
Merged
Conversation
dictate only exposed --json, so `assembly dictate -o text` errored even
though plain transcript text is already the non-JSON default. Add the
-o/--output {text,json} flag mirroring stream/agent: -o json folds into
json_mode (== --json), -o text is the explicit bare-transcript default,
and --json + -o text is rejected as a contradictory pair via the shared
resolve_output_modes helper.

Adds an
-o/--outputoption to theassembly dictatecommand that allows users to explicitly choose betweentext(bare transcript, pipe-friendly) andjson(one JSON object per utterance) output modes.Summary
This change introduces output mode selection to the dictate command, bringing it into alignment with the
streamandagentcommands' output handling patterns. The new flag provides an explicit, discoverable way to select output format while maintaining backward compatibility (text remains the default).Key Changes

The implementation reuses the existing
resolve_output_modes()utility from the streaming session module, ensuring consistent conflict detection and resolution across commands. The dictate command'stext_modehalf of the resolution is unused (plain text is already the non-JSON default in_emit()), but the infrastructure is in place for future enhancements.https://claude.ai/code/session_01Knhve9pgqPSg2kQhxnV7Wn
