Adds --transfer-order sequential|parallel to dhq server-groups create and update. Refs deployhq/deployhq#1256.

Why. server-groups create sent only name, and the backend refuses a server group without transfer_order (422 "is not included in the list"), so the command could never succeed. The backend half of #1256 defaults the value server-side; this half lets a user choose it.

What changed

  • SDK: ServerGroupCreateRequest and ServerGroupUpdateRequest gain TransferOrder (transfer_order,omitempty): sent only when given.
  • Command: the flag on create and update, validated locally (exactly sequential or parallel, case-sensitive, before any request); create gets Long help and examples.
  • Help: the server-groups description no longer claims a group deploy "fans out in parallel"; it now states what the app does (lib/deployment_operations/global.rb): both orders run through the worker pool, sequential runs each server's whole deployment as a unit, parallel finishes each step on every server before the next step.
  • The template commands share the flag's help text; their behaviour is unchanged.
  • Skill reference skills/deployhq/references/servers.md and the CHANGELOG (Unreleased) updated.

Tests. New internal/commands/server_groups_test.go (wire-level: the field is sent when given, omitted when absent, rejected values make no request, help lists the flag on all four commands) and pkg/sdk/server_groups_test.go. go build, go vet, go test ./... -race (718 PASS) and golangci-lint (0 issues) all clean.

Review round

Reviewer Finding Outcome
Codex (manual review) none "Didn't find any major issues" on 68cca70.
CodeRabbit (inline, minor) parallel barrier should be described as spanning only the servers currently deploying Skipped: lib/deployment_operations/global.rb#parallel_transfer runs each step on every server in the group before the next step; the concurrency limit bounds how many transfer at once, not the barrier. Thread answered and resolved.
CodeRabbit (inline, minor) qualify "omit the flag to take the default" during the backend rollout Skipped: the dependency on deployhq/deployhq#1258 keeps this from shipping before the backend defaults, and the CHANGELOG records the pre-rollout 422. Thread answered and resolved.

Depends on the backend change. Do not merge or release before the backend half of deployhq/deployhq#1256 (the API default for transfer_order: deployhq/deployhq#1258) is deployed: until then a bare --name create still gets 422 and the help text's "omit to take the default" is not yet true. The CHANGELOG entry says the same.

`dhq server-groups create` sent only `name`, and the API refuses that
with `422 transfer_order is not included in the list`, so a server group
could not be created from the CLI at all. The template-level command
already had the flag; the project-level one did not.

`--transfer-order` accepts exactly `sequential` or `parallel` on both
`create` and `update`. It is sent as `transfer_order` only when given:
omitted, nothing is sent, so the backend's default applies on create and
the group's current order is kept on update. Any other value, including
an explicit empty one or a different case, is rejected as a user error
before a project or client is resolved, so no request is made. The
backend's inclusion check is case-sensitive, which is why `Parallel` is
refused too.

The flag help is shared with `templates server-groups create|update` so
the two commands describe it alike; the template commands' behaviour is
unchanged. The `server-groups` help no longer claims a deployment
reaches every server in parallel: that depends on the transfer order,
which it now describes.

A bare `--name` create succeeds only once the backend defaults the field
(the application half of the issue); until then pass the flag.

Walkthrough

The SDK request types now support an optional transfer order. Server-group create and update commands accept sequential or parallel, validate explicitly supplied values, and include the value in requests when provided. Help text and reference documentation describe the option.

Changes

Server-group transfer order

Layer / File(s) Summary
Optional SDK request fields
pkg/sdk/types.go, pkg/sdk/server_groups_test.go
Create and update request types add an optional transfer_order field. SDK tests check that create includes a non-empty value and omits an empty one.
CLI validation and request wiring
internal/commands/server_groups.go, internal/commands/server_groups_test.go, internal/commands/templates_subresources.go, skills/deployhq/references/servers.md, CHANGELOG.md
Create and update accept sequential or parallel, reject other explicitly supplied values before project resolution, and send the value when supplied. Help text, tests, changelog entries, and reference documentation cover the option.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 68cca

The CLI request wiring has no established blocking defect. Clarify deployment and rollout guidance and bring the new tests into line with the project’s test requirements; the remaining risk is bounded.

94-95: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Use recorded API JSON and add ServerGroup golden coverage.

TestCreateServerGroup_TransferOrder returns a generated response with only identifier and name, then discards the decoded ServerGroup. Replace it with recorded create-response JSON and add the ServerGroup case to the SDK golden validation. The current test does not exercise fields such as servers or last_revision.

This is a test-fidelity and SDK-schema coverage gap. It does not establish a major runtime consequence.

36-36: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Use the required server-backed wire-test harness.

captureRequest replaces the process-wide http.DefaultTransport and returns a synthetic response. Replace it in these tests with httptest.NewServer and recorded API response shapes. This keeps request handling local to each test and checks the command against the expected response schema. The required change is limited to the new server-group tests and their response setup; it does not require a broad refactor.

Inline comments:
In `@internal/commands/server_groups.go`:
- Line 178: Qualify the documentation for omitting --transfer-order during the
backend rollout: in internal/commands/server_groups.go, state omission works
only after the backend change and give --transfer-order sequential as the
interim command; in pkg/sdk/types.go, make the default outcome conditional on
that backend change; and in skills/deployhq/references/servers.md, add the same
rollout caveat beside the server-group create example.
- Line 43: Clarify that the step barrier applies only to servers currently
deploying, rather than every server in the group. Update the shared flag help
and server-group overview in internal/commands/server_groups.go (lines 43 and
19), including help inherited by template commands; qualify the release-note
description in CHANGELOG.md (lines 16–17) and the skill reference in
skills/deployhq/references/servers.md (line 329) to match.
