freemo 4d31f0ed02 fix(cli): promote --format to global CLI callback option per spec
Add `fmt: OutputFormat` parameter to `main_callback()` in
`src/cleveragents/cli/main.py` and store the selected format in
`ctx.obj["format"]` so all subcommands can read it without needing
their own per-command `--format` flag.

Remove per-command `--format` / `fmt` parameters from `version()`,
`info()`, and `diagnostics()` commands. These commands now read the
format from `ctx.obj.get("format", OutputFormat.RICH.value)`.

The specification states: "The framework supports six distinct output
formats, selectable via the global `--format` flag." This change
aligns the implementation with the spec by making `--format` a global
option on the root `agents` command (via the Typer callback).

All six formats (json, yaml, plain, rich, table, color) are supported
via the global flag and the `-f` shorthand.

Add Behave BDD scenarios covering global `--format` flag propagation
to subcommands for all six formats. Update Robot Framework integration
tests to exercise the global `--format` flag. Update existing tests
that used per-command `--format` for version/info/diagnostics to use
the global flag instead.

Feature: Global --format flag propagation to subcommands
As a developer using the CleverAgents CLI
I want the --format flag to be a global option on the root `agents` command
So that I can set the output format once and have it apply to all subcommands
Per the specification: "The framework supports six distinct output formats,
selectable via the global --format flag."
Background:
Given the global format flag test runner is set up
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Subtask 1 & 2: main_callback accepts --format and stores in ctx.obj
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Scenario: Global --format json flag is accepted by the root command
When I invoke the CLI with global args "--format json version"
Then the global format command should succeed
And the global format output should be valid JSON
Scenario: Global --format yaml flag is accepted by the root command
When I invoke the CLI with global args "--format yaml version"
Then the global format command should succeed
And the global format output should be valid YAML
Scenario: Global --format plain flag is accepted by the root command
When I invoke the CLI with global args "--format plain version"
Then the global format command should succeed
And the global format output should contain plain text
Scenario: Global --format rich flag is accepted by the root command
When I invoke the CLI with global args "--format rich version"
Then the global format command should succeed
Scenario: Global --format table flag is accepted by the root command
When I invoke the CLI with global args "--format table version"
Then the global format command should succeed
Scenario: Global --format color flag is accepted by the root command
When I invoke the CLI with global args "--format color version"
Then the global format command should succeed
Scenario: Global -f shorthand flag is accepted by the root command
When I invoke the CLI with global args "-f json version"
Then the global format command should succeed
And the global format output should be valid JSON
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Subtask 3: version, info, diagnostics read format from global ctx.obj
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Scenario: version command reads format from global ctx.obj
When I invoke the CLI with global args "--format json version"
Then the global format command should succeed
And the global format output should be valid JSON
And the global format JSON output should contain key "version"
Scenario: info command reads format from global ctx.obj
When I invoke the CLI with global args "--format json info"
Then the global format command should succeed
And the global format output should be valid JSON
Scenario: diagnostics command reads format from global ctx.obj
When I invoke the CLI with global args "--format json diagnostics"
Then the global format command should succeed
And the global format output should be valid JSON
Scenario: version command defaults to rich format when no --format given
When I invoke the CLI with global args "version"
Then the global format command should succeed
Scenario: info command defaults to rich format when no --format given
When I invoke the CLI with global args "info"
Then the global format command should succeed
Scenario: diagnostics command defaults to rich format when no --format given
When I invoke the CLI with global args "diagnostics"
Then the global format command should succeed
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Subtask 4: ctx.obj["format"] is stored and accessible
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Scenario: ctx.obj stores the selected format value json
When I call main_callback directly with format "json"
Then the context object should have format "json"
Scenario: ctx.obj stores yaml format value
When I call main_callback directly with format "yaml"
Then the context object should have format "yaml"
Scenario: ctx.obj stores plain format value
When I call main_callback directly with format "plain"
Then the context object should have format "plain"
Scenario: ctx.obj stores rich format value (default)
When I call main_callback directly with format "rich"
Then the context object should have format "rich"
Scenario: ctx.obj stores table format value
When I call main_callback directly with format "table"
Then the context object should have format "table"
Scenario: ctx.obj stores color format value
When I call main_callback directly with format "color"
Then the context object should have format "color"
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# All six formats work end-to-end with version command
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Scenario Outline: All six formats work with the version command via global flag
When I invoke the CLI with global args "--format <format> version"
Then the global format command should succeed
Examples:
| format |
| json |
| yaml |
| plain |
| rich |
| table |
| color |
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# All six formats work end-to-end with info command
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Scenario Outline: All six formats work with the info command via global flag
When I invoke the CLI with global args "--format <format> info"
Then the global format command should succeed
Examples:
| format |
| json |
| yaml |
| plain |
| rich |
| table |
| color |
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# All six formats work end-to-end with diagnostics command
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Scenario Outline: All six formats work with the diagnostics command via global flag
When I invoke the CLI with global args "--format <format> diagnostics"
Then the global format command should succeed
Examples:
| format |
| json |
| yaml |
| plain |
| rich |
| table |
| color |
