Summary: UI and CLI Interfaces for Duplicate Detection

Overview

Added comprehensive Web UI and CLI interfaces to access the new optimized duplicate detection and indexing functionality.

Changes Made

1. CLI Commands (apps/cli/src/indexing-commands.ts)

New file containing all indexing and duplicate detection CLI commands:

Duplicate Detection Commands

  • duplicates:scan - Scan for duplicates (uses database if indexed)
  • duplicates:list - List duplicate file groups with filtering

Indexing Commands

  • index:destination - Index destination files for fast duplicate detection
  • index:stats - Get duplicate statistics from indexed files
  • index:count - Get count of indexed destination files
  • index:clear - Clear destination file index

Integration: Commands are imported and added to the main CLI program in apps/cli/src/index.ts

2. Web UI - Index Management Page (apps/web/src/app/indexing/page.tsx)

New page at /indexing with features:

  • Index Destination Form

    • Dataset selection dropdown
    • Destination path input
    • Batch size configuration
    • Index / Re-index buttons
    • Clear index button
  • Index Statistics

    • Real-time indexed file count
    • Updates after operations
  • Duplicate Statistics

    • Total duplicate groups count
    • Detailed duplicate group display
    • Hash preview and file paths
    • File size and count

3. Enhanced Navigation (apps/web/src/app/components/Header.tsx)

  • Added "Indexing" link to main navigation menu
  • Positioned between "Duplicates" and "Tasks"

4. Enhanced Duplicates Page (apps/web/src/app/duplicates/DuplicateList.tsx)

  • Added "Manage Index" button
  • Links to indexing page for easy access
  • Added FolderIcon import for button
  • Added Link import from Next.js

5. Documentation (docs/UI_AND_CLI_INTERFACES.md)

Comprehensive guide covering:

  • Web UI usage and features
  • All CLI commands with examples
  • Workflow examples for both interfaces
  • Tips and best practices
  • Troubleshooting guide
  • Advanced usage with scripting examples
