Conversation
When the CLI is driven by an agent (detectCliMode() === 'agent'), send `x-checkly-source: AGENT` instead of `CLI` on API requests. Auth can't tell an agent from a human (same API key), so the backend keys off this header to tell agent-created import plans apart from human ones and to safely GC abandoned agent onboarding reservations.

What
When the CLI is driven by an agent (
detectCliMode() === 'agent'), sendx-checkly-source: AGENTon API requests instead of the hardcodedCLI.Why
Authentication can't distinguish an agent from a human — they share the same API key. The backend needs a self-declared signal to tell agent-created import plans apart from human ones, so it can safely garbage-collect abandoned agent onboarding reservations (agent onboarding reserves pending mappings server-side that outlive the throwaway sandbox; if the user never finalizes with
checkly import commit, they'd linger forever).detectCliMode()already returns'agent'for agent-driven runs — including when the AI runner setsCHECKLY_CLI_MODE=agent— so this just routes that existing signal onto the source header. Composes with the agent-drivable import flow from #1402.Backend counterpart
The backend adds
AGENTto its client-source vocabulary, persists this header onto the import plan's newsourcecolumn, and runs a daily reaper oversource = 'AGENT' AND committedAt IS NULL AND createdAt < now() - TTL. This CLI change is what makessource = 'AGENT'actually get set.Testing
