ActorRegistry.add()rejecting spec-compliant actor YAML that uses theactors:map format with nestedconfig:blocks. The method previously only looked forprovider/modelat the top level of the parsed blob, causing valid spec-format YAML to fail with"Actor YAML must include 'provider' and 'model' fields.".Changes
src/cleveragents/actor/config.py_resolve_actors_map()(new): Shared static helper that resolves theactors:/agents:map from a parsed YAML blob. Eliminates the previously triplicated lookup logic across_extract_v2_actor(),_extract_v2_options(), and the multi-actor guard inregistry.add(). Returns(map_obj, map_key)tuple. Return type usesLiteral["actors", "agents"]for stronger type safety._extract_v2_actor(): Now uses_resolve_actors_map()for consistent resolution. Added support for the combinedactorfield format (e.g."openai/gpt-4"→ provider + model). Explicitprovider/modelfields take precedence over the combinedactorfield. Uses explicitis not Nonechecks for both theactorskey resolution and theprovider/modelalias resolution (provider_type/model_id) to avoid falsy empty-string short-circuit bugs. Renamed loop variable fromfirst_agenttoactor_keyfor clarity. Updated comment to reflect thatadd()now rejects multi-actor YAML instead of silently ignoring later entries. Graph descriptor now usesdict(map_dict)(shallow copy) to prevent downstream mutations from propagating betweenconfig_blobandresolved_graph._extract_v2_actor()unsafe coercion: Changed frombool(config_dict.get("unsafe", False))tounsafe_raw is True or unsafe_raw == 1to prevent truthy non-boolean YAML values (e.g.unsafe: "no") from being incorrectly treated as unsafe. Added comment documenting that== 1also matches1.0(float) due to Python's numeric equality rules. Added spec-extension comment notingprovider_type/model_idaliases are accepted for backward compatibility beyond the spec's JSON schema._extract_v2_options(): Now uses_resolve_actors_map()for consistent resolution. Returns a shallow copy of the options dict to prevent downstream mutations from propagating back into the original blob.src/cleveragents/actor/registry.pyadd()multi-actor guard: Now uses_resolve_actors_map()for consistentactors:/agents:resolution. Rejects YAML with more than one entry in the map, raisingValidationError("registry.add() only supports single-actor YAML files.").add()nested options extraction: Fixed deadsetdefaultno-op in theelsebranch. When both top-level and nested options exist, now uses merge semantics matchingfrom_blob(): nested options as base, top-level overrides.

49667d90Review cycles completed: 3 independent passes across all categories (security, correctness, test coverage, code quality)
Summary
The core fix is well-executed:
_extract_v2_actor()correctly addsactors:key support with precedence overagents:, theactor: provider/modelcombined field is implemented faithfully per the spec, andregistry.add()now unconditionally delegates to_extract_v2_actor()for graph and unsafe extraction. The test suite (55 scenarios) is thorough. However, two blocking findings require action before merge — one is a spec compliance issue with a security dimension, the other is untracked silent data loss. Six lower-severity findings round out the review.🔴 HIGH — Security / Spec Compliance
H1 · Multi-actor YAML silently bypasses the unsafe confirmation gate — spec violation
Files:
src/cleveragents/actor/config.py:_extract_v2_actor(),src/cleveragents/actor/registry.py:add()docs/specification.md(resolution order section) states explicitly:"The v2-extracted
unsafeflag" in the spec means the OR of all actors' unsafe values in the map — not just the first. The current implementation only inspects the first entry in theactors:/agents:dict, so a multi-actor YAML withunsafe: truein the second (or later) actor silently:unsafe=Trueorallow_unsafe=Trueunsafe=False— an incorrect security postureThe test
"registry.add() only detects unsafe in first actor entry (known limitation)"documents and normalizes this spec-violating bypass as expected behavior. The PR description's "Known Limitations" section acknowledges it, but no follow-up issue is created or referenced anywhere in the test, the code comment, or the commit message.Recommended fix (two viable options):
Option A — guard against multi-actor input (aligns with the "add() is for single-actor" design intent):
Option B — scan all entries for unsafe (fully spec-compliant):
Option A is preferred because
add()is already described as single-actor and provider/model extraction only returns the first actor's values anyway — making multi-actor registration through this method semantically ambiguous beyond just the unsafe flag.At minimum, if neither option is implemented in this PR, a follow-up issue must be filed and its number referenced in the code comment, the test scenario title, and the PR description.

registry.add()does not call_extract_v2_options()— options in nestedconfig.optionssilently discardedFile:
src/cleveragents/actor/registry.py:add()add()callsself._actor_service.upsert_actor()directly, bypassingActorConfiguration.from_blob(). Becausefrom_blob()is what calls_extract_v2_options(), the options object inside a nestedconfig:block is never extracted or merged into the stored actor configuration.Concrete impact: The following spec-compliant YAML loses its
options:entirely when registered viaadd():ActorRegistry.upsert_actor()(the registry-level method) correctly processes this throughfrom_blob()→_extract_v2_options(). Identical YAML registered viaadd()vsupsert_actor()produces different stored results — a behavioral asymmetry that is hard to debug.This issue appears in the self-QA cycle 6 notes as a "Remaining Minor Issue" but was not included in the PR description's "Deferred Items" section and has no follow-up issue associated with it. It must be either fixed in this PR or explicitly tracked.
Recommended fix (add a single call before
upsert_actor):Or alternatively: file a follow-up issue and add it to the PR description's deferred section.

This is a pre-existing bug infrom_blob()— not introduced by this PR — but the PR's explicit use ofis not Noneinadd()highlights the inconsistency and makesfrom_blob()the odd one out. The self-QA acknowledges this as deferred but does not link a follow-up issue.Recommendation: Add a follow-up issue tracking the

File:

"registry.add() only detects unsafe in first actor entry (known limitation)"documents and accepts a spec-violating bypass. No issue number is referenced in the scenario description, the code comment in_extract_v2_actor, or the PR description's "Known Limitations" section.

The fix correctly addresses the core issue:
ActorRegistry.add()now accepts spec-compliant actor YAML using theactors:map format with nestedconfig:blocks. The unsafe coercion fix (is True or == 1instead ofbool()) is well-implemented and tested. The multi-actor rejection guard is a good safety addition. The 78 Behave scenarios provide thorough coverage of the new behavior.After 6 complete review cycles across all problem categories (bugs, security, test coverage, performance, code quality), the following findings are organized by severity.
🔴 HIGH Severity
H1 — Graph resolution inconsistency:

H2 — v3 TOOL actors registered via
add()fail with confusing errors (already acknowledged)File:
src/cleveragents/actor/registry.py(L295-296, L356-368)For v3 YAML without provider/model (e.g.,
type: toolactors),add()passes empty strings toupsert_actor():upsert_actor()then callsActorConfiguration.from_blob()which raisesValueError("provider is required"). The error message is misleading — the actor was valid v3 YAML, but the legacy canonicalization layer rejects it.Status: Acknowledged in PR description, tracked in follow-up issue #9971.
🟡 MEDIUM Severity

M4 — Missing test:

features/actor_registry_spec_yaml.feature(L105-114)The
update=Truepath is tested only when the actor already exists (L105-109: raises "already exists") and when it doesn't (L111-114: raises "already exists" without update). There is no test verifying thatupdate=Truesuccessfully creates a new actor when it doesn't exist (the happy path forupdate=Trueon a non-existent actor).Recommendation: Add a scenario:
registry.add() with update=True creates actor when it doesn't exist.M5 — Missing test: v3 TOOL actors without provider/model
File:
features/actor_registry_spec_yaml.featureNo test verifies the behavior when v3 YAML has
type: tooland no provider/model anywhere. The PR acknowledges this gap (tracked in #9971), but a test should exist to document the current behavior (confusing error fromfrom_blob()).Recommendation: Add a scenario that documents the current failure mode for v3 TOOL actors without provider/model.
M6 — Missing test:
upsert_actor()raises an exceptionFile:
features/steps/actor_registry_spec_yaml_steps.pyThe
add()method callsupsert_actor()at L356-368 but no test covers what happens whenupsert_actor()raises (e.g., database failure, validation error from the Actor model).Recommendation: Add a scenario where

Unsafe coercion fix is correct and well-tested — The change from
bool()tois True or == 1prevents truthy non-boolean YAML values (e.g.,unsafe: "no") from being incorrectly treated as unsafe. Edge cases for1.0,2,0,"yes","no"are all tested.Multi-actor rejection is a good safety measure — Prevents silent data loss when users register multi-actor YAML files.

The fix correctly addresses the core issue:
ActorRegistry.add()now accepts spec-compliant actor YAML using theactors:map format with nestedconfig:blocks. The unsafe coercion fix (is True or == 1instead ofbool()) is well-implemented and tested. The multi-actor rejection guard is a good safety addition. The 78 Behave scenarios provide thorough coverage of the new behavior.After 6 complete review cycles across all problem categories (bugs, security, test coverage, performance, code quality), the following findings are organized by severity.
🔴 HIGH Severity
H1 — Graph resolution inconsistency:
add()vsfrom_blob()(already acknowledged)File:
src/cleveragents/actor/config.py(L245-250) vssrc/cleveragents/actor/registry.py(L352-354)from_blob()usesorfor graph resolution:add()usesis not None:If
graph_descriptoris{}(empty dict, falsy),from_blob()skips it and falls through tov2_graph, whileadd()correctly uses{}. This is a behavioral inconsistency between the two code paths.Status: Acknowledged in PR description, tracked in follow-up issue #10831.
H2 — v3 TOOL actors registered via
add()fail with confusing errors (already acknowledged)File:
src/cleveragents/actor/registry.py(L295-296, L356-368)For v3 YAML without provider/model (e.g.,
type: toolactors),add()passes empty strings toupsert_actor():upsert_actor()then callsActorConfiguration.from_blob()which raisesValueError("provider is required"). The error message is misleading — the actor was valid v3 YAML, but the legacy canonicalization layer rejects it.Status: Acknowledged in PR description, tracked in follow-up issue #9971.
🟡 MEDIUM Severity
M1 —
_resolve_actors_map()called three times inadd()(already acknowledged)File:
src/cleveragents/actor/registry.py(L267, L279, L335)The method is called directly for the multi-actor guard (L267), then indirectly via
_extract_v2_actor()(L279) and_extract_v2_options()(L335). Each call is O(1) so negligible in practice, but a future refactor could consolidate.Status: Acknowledged in PR description.
M2 —
add()stores full raw blob without normalization (already acknowledged)File:
src/cleveragents/actor/registry.py(L338)upsert_actor()uses_canonical_blob()which normalizes the blob, whileadd()passes the entire parsed YAML blob. Actors registered viaadd()vsupsert_actor()may have differentconfig_blobshapes.Status: Acknowledged in PR description.
M3 —
add()config_blob shallow copy (already acknowledged)File:
src/cleveragents/actor/registry.py(L338)dict(blob)is a shallow copy; nested mutable references (e.g., theactorsmap) are shared between the graph descriptor and the original blob._extract_v2_options()returns a shallow copy to mitigate the most common mutation path, and_extract_v2_actor()copies the actors map in the graph descriptor. A fullcopy.deepcopy(blob)may be warranted in a future cleanup.Status: Acknowledged in PR description.
M4 — Missing test:
update=Truewhen actor doesn't existFile:
features/actor_registry_spec_yaml.feature(L105-114)The
update=Truepath is tested only when the actor already exists (L105-109: raises "already exists") and when it doesn't (L111-114: raises "already exists" without update). There is no test verifying thatupdate=Truesuccessfully creates a new actor when it doesn't exist (the happy path forupdate=Trueon a non-existent actor).Recommendation: Add a scenario:
registry.add() with update=True creates actor when it doesn't exist.M5 — Missing test: v3 TOOL actors without provider/model
File:
features/actor_registry_spec_yaml.featureNo test verifies the behavior when v3 YAML has
type: tooland no provider/model anywhere. The PR acknowledges this gap (tracked in #9971), but a test should exist to document the current behavior (confusing error fromfrom_blob()).Recommendation: Add a scenario that documents the current failure mode for v3 TOOL actors without provider/model.
M6 — Missing test:
upsert_actor()raises an exceptionFile:
features/steps/actor_registry_spec_yaml_steps.pyThe
add()method callsupsert_actor()at L356-368 but no test covers what happens whenupsert_actor()raises (e.g., database failure, validation error from the Actor model).Recommendation: Add a scenario where
_StubActorService.upsert_actor()raises an exception, verifying the error propagates correctly.M7 — Missing test:
actors: false(boolean) edge caseFile:
features/actor_registry_spec_yaml.feature_resolve_actors_map()returnsFalseasmap_objforactors: false, andisinstance(False, dict)isFalse, so extraction returnsNone. This is correct behavior but not explicitly tested.Recommendation: Add a scenario for
actors: falseto verify it blocks theagents:fallback and yields no provider/model.M8 — Missing test: invalid
schema_versionandcompiled_metadatatypesFile:
features/actor_registry_spec_yaml.feature(L118-123)The test at L118-123 only tests with valid
schema_version="2.0"andcompiled_metadata={"key": "val"}. No tests exist for invalid types (e.g.,schema_version=123,compiled_metadata="not-a-dict").Recommendation: Add scenarios for invalid
schema_versionandcompiled_metadatatypes to document current behavior.🟢 LOW Severity
L1 —
add()doesn't validateschema_versiontypeFile:
src/cleveragents/actor/registry.py(L337)schema_versionis passed directly toupsert_actor()without type validation. If a caller passes an integer, it would be stored as-is.L2 —
add()doesn't validatecompiled_metadatatypeFile:
src/cleveragents/actor/registry.py(L367)compiled_metadatais passed directly toupsert_actor()without type validation. If a caller passes a non-dict, theActormodel's Pydantic validation would fail with a confusing error.L3 —
_resolve_actors_map()return type usesAnyFile:
src/cleveragents/actor/config.py(L293-295)The first element is
Any, reducing type safety. Callers must check the type manually. Consider usingdict[str, Any] | None | objectfor better type hints.L4 —
name: 0(integer) in YAML causes type mismatchFile:
src/cleveragents/actor/registry.py(L241)If YAML has
name: 0,blob.get("name", "")returns0(integer), violating thestrtype annotation. In practice YAML names are strings, but the type checker can't catch this.L5 —
graph_descriptor: 0(integer) in YAML causes Pydantic errorFile:
src/cleveragents/actor/registry.py(L352-354)If
blob["graph_descriptor"]is0,resolved_graphwould be0, which is passed toupsert_actor(). TheActormodel expectsdict[str, Any] | None, so Pydantic would raise a validation error with a confusing message.L6 — Unused
ActorRegistryimport in step fileFile:
features/steps/actor_registry_spec_yaml_steps.py(L13)This import is never used directly in the step file. The tests use
context.spec_registrywhich is anActorRegistryinstance, but the class itself is never referenced.L7 —
ensure_built_in_actors()called on everyadd()(pre-existing)File:
src/cleveragents/actor/registry.py(L238)self.ensure_built_in_actors()is called at the start of everyadd()call, which may trigger unnecessary database writes. This is pre-existing behavior, not introduced by this PR.✅ Positive Observations
Unsafe coercion fix is correct and well-tested — The change from
bool()tois True or == 1prevents truthy non-boolean YAML values (e.g.,unsafe: "no") from being incorrectly treated as unsafe. Edge cases for1.0,2,0,"yes","no"are all tested.Multi-actor rejection is a good safety measure — Prevents silent data loss when users register multi-actor YAML files.
Nested options preservation is correctly implemented — The merge semantics (nested as base, top-level overrides) match
from_blob()behavior.78 Behave scenarios provide thorough coverage — Edge cases for combined actor field, multiple slashes, empty provider/model parts,
actors: nullfallback, and graph descriptor propagation are all tested.CHANGELOG entry is accurate and comprehensive — Covers all significant changes including multi-actor rejection, options preservation, and coercion fix.
_extract_v2_options()shallow copy prevents mutation leaks — The test at L498-500 verifies mutations to the returned dict don't propagate back to the original blob.Summary

Recommendation: The PR is ready to merge. The 5 unacknowledged medium-severity findings (M4-M8) are test gaps that should be addressed in follow-up work but don't block this fix. The core functionality is correctly implemented and well-tested.
Additional Review Findings (Cycles 7-8)
After two more deep-dive cycles through the code, the following additional observations were made:
🟡 MEDIUM — Additional Test Gap:
provider: 0(integer) edge caseFile:
src/cleveragents/actor/registry.py(L256)If YAML has
provider: 0(integer zero), theorshort-circuits and falls through toprovider_type. This is correct behavior (0 is not a valid provider name), but not explicitly tested. The_extract_v2_actor()method usesis not Nonewhich would preserve0as a value, then thenot provider_valuecheck at L372 would fill it from the combined actor field. Both paths produce the same result, but the inconsistency in approach (orvsis not None) is worth noting.Recommendation: Add a scenario for
provider: 0to verify correct fallback behavior.🟢 LOW —
add()options handling whenv2_optionsisNoneand top-leveloptionsis non-dictFile:
src/cleveragents/actor/registry.py(L340-350)If
v2_optionsisNone(no nested options) andblob["options"]is a non-dict (e.g.,"not-a-dict"), the entireifblock is skipped andconfig_blob["options"]remains as the non-dict value. This is stored as-is. The existing test at L487-490 covers the case where nested options exist, but not the case where neither nested nor valid top-level options exist.Impact: Minor — the
config_blobwould contain a non-dictoptionsvalue. This is pre-existing behavior (theadd()method didn't touch options before this PR), so it's not a regression.🟢 LOW —
from_blob()vsadd()provider resolution approach differenceFile:

Updated Summary: No new critical or high-severity findings. The additional medium-severity finding (M9) is a test gap for an edge case that is correctly handled but not explicitly tested. The two low-severity findings are minor code quality observations.
