fix(lsp): restore explicit _process cleanup in OSError handler

PR branch HEAD was using try-except-pass around stop() without an explicit self._process = None assignment in the OSError exception handler. This corrected it to match master and the FileNotFoundError pattern: direct stop() followed by explicit _process = None. Closes #10597

 All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
 The format follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/).
-Changed `wf10_batch.robot` to be less likely to create files, and
-`plan_generation_graph.robot` to give more test answers.
-
- Hardened the TDD bug-fix quality gate for issue #629: PR parsing now
-  requires whole-word closing keywords (avoids false positives like
-  "prefixes #12"), TDD bug tag discovery now uses exact token matching
-  (avoids `@tdd_bug_42` matching `@tdd_bug_420`), and gate evaluation now
-  requires expected-fail tag removal to be present in the PR diff. CI
-  integration now fetches the PR base branch for diff analysis and includes
-  `tdd_quality_gate` in `status-check` requirements for pull requests.
-  Review-round fixes: `check_expected_fail_removed` now uses word-boundary
-  matching via `_contains_tag_token` (avoids false positives on partial tag
-  names); diff expected-fail removal detection now tracks flags at file level
-  instead of per-hunk (fixes false negatives when tags span different hunks);
-  `parse_bug_refs` filters out issue number zero; redundant double error
-  reporting eliminated; regex compilation cached via `lru_cache`; nox session
-  no longer installs the full project (script uses stdlib only); CI checkout
-  uses `fetch-depth: 0` for reliable merge-base resolution.
-  Review-round 2 fixes: diff expected-fail removal detection now requires the
-  removed line to contain both the expected-fail tag and the specific bug tag
-  (fixes false positives when two bugs' TDD tests reside in the same file);
-  `check_expected_fail_removed` error messages now use the correct tag prefix
-  per file type (`@tdd_bug_N` for `.feature`, `tdd_bug_N` for `.robot`);
-  `bool` values are now rejected by bug-number validation guards; file-read
-  error handling in `find_tdd_tests` and `check_expected_fail_removed` now
-  catches `UnicodeDecodeError` (root-safe unreadable-file handling); temp
-  directory cleanup added to `after_scenario` hook; 8 new Behave scenarios
-  covering bool guards, co-located bug false-positive, `run_quality_gate`
-  argument validation, and `main()` CLI entry point.
-  Review-round 3 fixes: synthetic PR diff helper now auto-detects `.robot`
-  vs `.feature` file type and generates the matching diff format (fixes
-  under-tested robot-format diff code path); `check_expected_fail_removed`
-  test step now filters files by bug tag via `find_tdd_tests` before
-  checking (matches the production code path); `after_scenario` temp
-  directory cleanup no longer sets `context.temp_dir = None` (fixes
-  cleanup conflict with `cli_init_yes_flag_steps.py`); 2 new Behave
-  scenarios covering multi-line PR description parsing and non-string
-  `pr_diff` type guard.
- Added Fix-then-Revalidate orchestration loop for required validations:
-  bounded retry with configurable limits (0--100 per Safety Profile),
-  strategy revision escalation via `auto_strategy_revision` float
-  threshold, user escalation via `needs_user_escalation` result flag,
-  and domain events (`VALIDATION_FIX_ATTEMPTED`, `VALIDATION_FIX_SUCCEEDED`,
-  `VALIDATION_FIX_EXHAUSTED`). Validation errors are treated as required
-  failures regardless of mode. Includes `auto_validation_fix` threshold,
-  per-resource retry tracking, early-exit signalling via `None` return from
-  `FixCallback`, event bus circuit breaker with lock-protected failure
-  counter, spec-required `validation_summary` and
-  `final_validation_results` fields on the result model, DI container

 ## [Unreleased]
+- **fix(tui): rename ActorSelectionOverlay._render to _refresh_display (issue #11039)** — `ActorSelectionOverlay._render()` shadows Textual's `Widget._render()` which must return a `Strip`. In textual >=1.0, layout calls `get_content_height()` `self._render()` gets `None` `AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_height'`. Renamed the method to `_refresh_display()` and updated all four internal call sites (`show()`, `move_up()`, `move_down()`, `set_search()`) to use the new name.

 - **Structural Component Output Validation** (#8164): Replaces exact character matching with structural component checking for output validation. Implements three validators covering plan tree output, decision CLI dicts, and structured session snapshots. The `validate_plan_tree` function validates node dicts for required keys (`decision_id`, `type`, `sequence`, `question`, `children`), ULID format, correct types, and sibling ordering. The `validate_decision_dict` function validates decision CLI output against the `Decision.as_cli_dict()` schema with field presence, type, ULID pattern, confidence range [0..1], and boolean field checks. The `validate_structured_output` function validates the StructuredOutput envelope for `command`, `session_id` (ULID), status membership, `exit_code`, and elements integrity. A unified dispatcher (`validate_structured_component_output`) enables routing by target_type. BDD test coverage added in `features/structural_validation.feature`.

+- **Fixed plan tree reporting zero decision nodes after strategize** (#10813): The `plan tree` command showed no ``decision_id`` fields even though planning completed successfully. Root cause: the PlanExecutor's ``run_strategize()`` method produced strategy decisions via the StrategyActor but never persisted them as domain ``Decision`` objects through the DecisionService wiring. Added ``decision_service`` parameter to the PlanExecutor constructor, wired it from the CLI dependency-injection container in ``_get_plan_executor()``, and added ``_persist_strategy_decisions()`` that converts each strategy decision into a domain Decision with correct type mapping (prompt_definition, strategy_choice, subplan_spawn) so they appear in plan tree output.

@@ -44,4 +45,6 @@ Below are some of the specific details of various contributions.
 * HAL 9000 has contributed database resource types (PostgreSQL, SQLite) with transaction-based sandbox strategy: implemented ``DatabaseResourceHandler`` providing full CRUD operations (`read`, `write`, `delete`, `list_children`) and connection validation with automatic credential masking for PostgreSQL and SQLite backends. Includes ``TransactionSandbox`` infrastructure wired into ``SandboxFactory``, BDD test coverage in ``features/database_resources.feature``, and Robot Framework integration tests in ``robot/database_resources.robot`` (PR #10591 / issue #8608, Epic #8568).
 * HAL 9000 has contributed the agents plan rollback command (PR #8674 / issue #8557): implemented checkpoint-based plan state restoration with the `agents plan rollback <plan-id> [<checkpoint-id>]` CLI command as part of Epic #8493, enabling plans to be restored to previous checkpoints, discarding post-checkpoint decisions, and resuming execution from the rolled-back state. Supported by `--yes/-y`, `--to-checkpoint`, and `--format/-f` flags. Includes comprehensive BDD test coverage (>= 97%) for rollback, decision discarding, and plan resume functionality.
 * HAL 9000 has contributed the PyYAML security upgrade (PR #11012 / issue #9055): added `pyyaml>=6.0.3` dependency constraint to address known YAML parsing vulnerabilities.
+* HAL 9000 has contributed the DecisionService wiring for PlanExecutor strategize persistence fix (#10813): added decision_service to the PlanExecutor constructor and wired it from the CLI dependency-injection container in `_get_plan_executor()`, plus implemented `_persist_strategy_decisions()` to persist strategy decisions as domain `Decision` objects.
 * HAL 9000 has contributed the A2A module rename standardization BDD tests (PR #10583 / issue #8615): comprehensive Behave test suite validating that all 22 A2A symbols are properly exported from `cleveragents.a2a`, no legacy ACP references remain in the module source, and documentation uses correct A2A naming conventions — fixing inline imports, unused behave symbols, cross-scenario context dependencies, and missing type annotations.

This corrected it to match master and the FileNotFoundError pattern: direct stop() followed by explicit _process = None. Closes #10597	2026-05-15 14:10:51 +00:00
HAL9000	71ec58b232	fix(lsp): cleanup subprocess on failed initialization in StdioTransport.start() When Popen() succeeds but then raises OSError (e.g., exec failure in forked child), the process reference isn't cleaned up, potentially leaking zombie/orphan language-server processes. Fix sets _process = None before Popen() call and calls stop() on any partially- started process in the OSError handler to prevent leaks. Added BDD + pytest test coverage for regression guard.

HAL9000	655cd7ebc2	fix: persist strategy decisions via DecisionService during strategize (#10813 ) The plan tree command reported zero decision nodes after strategize because PlanExecutor.run_strategize() never persisted strategy decisions as domain Decision objects. Added _persist_strategy_decisions() to the PlanExecutor, wired decision_service from the DI container in _get_plan_executor(), and ensure each strategy decision is recorded with correct DecisionType mapping.
