347+ - 🚧 Script validation tool for C# vs Go output comparison
348+
349+ ### Phase 3: Commands Implementation (Planned - 3-4 weeks)
350+
351+ ** Priority Order:**
352+ 1 . ** ` generate-script ` ** command (all 3 CLIs) - Week 1-2
353+ - Primary usage model: users generate scripts first
354+ - Requires: API clients + script generation package
355+ - Output: PowerShell scripts for migration workflows
356+
357+ 2 . ** ` migrate-repo ` ** command (all 3 CLIs) - Week 2-3
358+ - Most complex command
359+ - Requires: Archive creation, blob storage upload, migration API
360+
361+ 3 . ** ` wait-for-migration ` ** command (all 3 CLIs) - Week 3
362+ - Poll migration status with exponential backoff
363+
364+ 4 . ** ` download-logs ` ** command (GEI, ADO2GH) - Week 4
365+ - Fetch and save migration logs
366+
367+ 5 . ** Additional commands** as needed
368+
369+ ### Phase 4: Storage & Advanced Features (Planned - 2-3 weeks)
370+ - Azure Blob Storage client
371+ - AWS S3 client
372+ - Archive creation and upload
373+ - Multipart upload support
374+ - Remaining commands (lock-repo, disable-repo, etc.)
375+
376+ ### Phase 5: Integration & Polish (Planned - 2 weeks)
377+ - Integration tests comparing C# vs Go outputs
378+ - Performance benchmarking
379+ - Documentation updates
380+ - Beta release preparation
381+
382+ ## Important Note: GitHub API Client Strategy
383+
384+ ** UPDATE:** The ` gh ` CLI provides a mature, well-tested API client library via ` github.com/cli/go-gh/v2/pkg/api ` .
385+
386+ ** Plan Update:**
387+ - Phase 2: Keep current custom GitHub client for basic operations (already 93.9% complete)
388+ - Phase 3: During command implementation, evaluate switching to ` go-gh/v2/pkg/api ` for:
389+ - Authentication handling (already integrated with gh credentials)
390+ - GraphQL support (if needed)
391+ - Better GitHub.com API compatibility
392+ - Built-in rate limiting and retry logic
393+
394+ ** Benefits of go-gh API client:**
395+ - Reuses existing ` gh ` authentication
396+ - Battle-tested by GitHub CLI team
397+ - Handles pagination, rate limiting, and retries
398+ - GraphQL and REST support
399+ - Better integration with GitHub ecosystem
400+
401+ ** Decision Point:** After Phase 2 completes, we'll evaluate:
402+ 1 . Keep custom client (simpler, already working)
403+ 2 . Switch to go-gh (better long-term, more features)
404+ 3 . Hybrid approach (go-gh for complex operations, custom for simple ones)
405+
406+ ## Script Generation Feature (Critical Path)
407+
408+ The primary usage model for GEI is:
409+ 1 . User runs ` generate-script ` command
410+ 2 . CLI generates a PowerShell script (` migrate.ps1 ` )
411+ 3 . User reviews/modifies the script
412+ 4 . User executes the script, which calls the CLI repeatedly
413+
414+ ** Script Types:**
415+ - ** Sequential** : Commands execute one-by-one, each waits for completion
416+ - ** Parallel** (default): Queues all migrations, then waits for all to complete
417+
418+ ** Script Structure:**
419+ ``` powershell
420+ #!/usr/bin/env pwsh
421+ # Version comment
422+ # Helper functions (Exec, ExecAndGetMigrationID)
423+ # Environment variable validation
424+ # Migration commands (or queue + wait)
425+ # Summary report (parallel only)
426+ ```

493+ 1 . ✅ Complete pkg/http with tests (75.5% coverage)
494+ 2 . ✅ Complete pkg/github with tests (93.9% coverage)
495+ 3 . ✅ Complete pkg/ado with tests (88.0% coverage)

497+ 5 . 🚧 Complete pkg/scriptgen with tests (target 85%+ coverage)
498+ 6 . 🚧 Add script validation tool
499+
500+ ** Next Week's Goals (Phase 3 Start):**
501+ 1 . Implement ` generate-script ` command for GEI
502+ 2 . Implement ` generate-script ` command for ADO2GH
503+ 3 . Implement ` generate-script ` command for BBS2GH
504+ 4 . Add integration tests comparing C# vs Go script outputs
505+ 5 . Validate script equivalence in CI
506+
507+ ## Script Validation
508+
509+ To ensure the Go port produces equivalent PowerShell scripts to the C# version, we've added a validation mechanism:
510+
511+ ### Manual Validation
512+
513+ ``` bash
514+ # Generate scripts with both C# and Go versions
515+ dotnet run --project src/gei/gei.csproj -- generate-script --args... > csharp-script.ps1
516+ ./dist/gei generate-script --args... > go-script.ps1
517+
518+ # Compare (ignoring version comments)
519+ diff -u --ignore-matching-lines=" ^# Generated by" csharp-script.ps1 go-script.ps1
520+ ```
521+
522+ ### Automated CI Validation
523+
524+ The CI workflow will automatically:
525+ 1 . Build both C# and Go versions
526+ 2 . Run ` generate-script ` with identical inputs
527+ 3 . Compare outputs (ignoring version metadata)
528+ 4 . Fail if scripts differ semantically
529+
530+ Script validation tests are located in:
531+ - ` scripts/validate-scripts.sh ` - Bash script for comparison
532+ - ` .github/workflows/validate-scripts.yml ` - CI integration
