Description
Part of #828 (which fulfills #688). Depends on the CBT_Theme_Export service refactor tracked in #828, and reuses the CBT_CLI_Command class introduced for wp cbt save.
Goal
Expose the CBT_Theme_Export service as a WP-CLI subcommand so developers can produce a theme zip from the terminal.
Scope
Add an export method to CBT_CLI_Command. No new file.
CLI surface
wp cbt export <output-path> [--include-images]
[--export-ready]
[--translate-ready]
- Positional
<output-path>— required, must be writable - Flag names align with the existing CBT export option labels
- Progress reporting via
WP_CLI\Utils\make_progress_bar()for image bundling
Required behavior
wp_is_block_theme()guard —WP_CLI::error()if not- Reject
<output-path>if the parent directory does not exist or is not writable, with a clearWP_CLI::error()message - All user-facing strings i18n'd
- PHPDoc with shortdesc,
## OPTIONS,## EXAMPLES

- Custom theme metadata overrides at export time
