Summary

  • The agents plan apply --format json command now produces a properly structured JSON envelope with all required fields (command, status, exit_code, data, timing, messages). Previously the output used raw plan data without the spec-required envelope wrapper.
  • Added _apply_output_dict() function in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py to build the spec-required JSON envelope for plan apply, matching the existing _execute_output_dict() pattern.
  • Updated lifecycle_apply_plan() to use the new envelope function when --format is not rich.
  • Added BDD scenarios verifying the envelope structure in features/plan_cli_coverage_boost.feature.

The `agents plan apply --format json` command now produces a properly structured
JSON envelope with all required fields (command, status, exit_code, data, timing,
messages). Previously the output used raw plan data without the spec-required
envelope wrapper, making it inconsistent with `plan execute --format json`.

Changes:
- Add `_apply_output_dict()` function to build the spec-required JSON envelope
  for plan apply (matching `_execute_output_dict` pattern)
- Update `lifecycle_apply_plan()` to use the new envelope instead of raw data
- Add BDD scenarios verifying the envelope structure for apply output
- Update CHANGELOG.md and CONTRIBUTORS.md

Review Summary

Thank you for tackling issue #9449 — wrapping plan apply --format json in a spec-required envelope is the right goal. Unfortunately this implementation has critical blocking issues that prevent approval.

CI Status

CI is failing on two required gates:

  • CI / lint — failing after 58s
  • CI / unit_tests — failing after 5m31s
  • CI / status-check — failing (aggregate)
  • ⚠️ CI / coverage — skipped (unit_tests failing means coverage is not measured)

Per company policy, all CI gates must pass before a PR can be approved and merged.

Critical: data Payload Does Not Match Spec

The specification (docs/specification.md §agents plan apply, ~line 13432) defines a precise data structure for the JSON envelope. The implementation builds an entirely different structure.

Spec-required data fields:

  • plan_id (string) ✓
  • artifacts (integer: count of files changed) ✗ missing
  • changes ({insertions, deletions}) ✗ missing
  • project (string: project identifier) ✗ missing
  • applied_at (ISO 8601 timestamp) ✗ missing
  • validation ({tests, lint, type_check, duration_s}) ✗ missing
  • sandbox_cleanup ({worktree, branch, checkpoint}) ✗ missing
  • lifecycle ({phase, state, total_duration, total_cost, decisions_made, child_plans}) ✗ missing

What the implementation actually puts in data: plan_id, namespaced_name, phase, processing_state, state, project_links, arguments, automation_profile, action_name, description, definition_of_done — none of the spec-required fields (except plan_id) are present.

Critical: messages Format Inconsistent with Spec

The specification shows messages as a flat string array:

"messages": ["Changes applied"]

The implementation emits [{"level": "ok", "text": "Plan applied"}]. The BDD tests assert the object format (checking level and text keys), which tests the wrong contract. If structured messages are desired, the spec must be updated via the ADR process first.

Critical: timing Always Empty

The spec requires "timing": {"started": "...", "duration_ms": 1250} but the implementation returns "timing": {} unconditionally.

Critical: Branch Naming Violation

Branch pr/9817-plan-apply-json-envelope does not follow the required convention. Bug fix branches must be bugfix/mN-<name> (e.g. bugfix/m2-plan-apply-json-envelope for milestone v3.2.0).

The PR has no Forgejo dependency links. Per CONTRIBUTING.md, the PR must block issue #9449 (add #9449 under "blocks" on this PR). Also, the commit footer ISSUES CLOSED: #9817 references what appears to be another PR, not the original bug issue. The correct reference should be ISSUES CLOSED: #9449.

Critical: BDD Tests Verify Wrong Fields

The BDD scenarios check plan_id and namespaced_name in data, but the spec-required data fields are artifacts, changes, project, applied_at, validation, sandbox_cleanup, and lifecycle. The tests must be updated to assert the spec contract.

Summary of Required Changes

  1. Fix _apply_output_dict() to populate spec-required data fields: artifacts, changes, project, applied_at, validation, sandbox_cleanup, lifecycle
  2. Fix messages to flat string list ["Changes applied"] per spec (or open ADR to change spec first)
  3. Fix timing to populate started and duration_ms from real apply timing
  4. Rename branch to bugfix/m2-plan-apply-json-envelope
  5. Add Forgejo dependency link: this PR blocks issue #9449
  6. Fix commit footer to reference ISSUES CLOSED: #9449
  7. Update BDD tests to assert spec-required data fields
  8. Fix all CI failures (lint and unit_tests)

BLOCKER: Scenario verifies non-spec fields and has misleading name.

The scenario is named apply_plan JSON output has spec-required envelope structure but the And steps check namespaced_name which is NOT a spec-required data field. This gives a false sense of spec compliance.

How to fix: Replace the apply JSON output data has namespaced_name field with steps that verify the actually spec-required fields: artifacts, project, applied_at, validation, sandbox_cleanup, and lifecycle.

BLOCKER: BDD tests assert the wrong data fields and the wrong messages format.

This step checks that messages contain level and text keys, but the spec defines messages as a flat string list (["Changes applied"]). The assertion is testing an implementation detail that diverges from the spec.

Additionally, the step definitions below verify plan_id and namespaced_name, but namespaced_name is not a spec-required data field. The tests should instead verify: artifacts, changes, project, applied_at, validation, sandbox_cleanup, and lifecycle.

How to fix: Rewrite all three @then step definitions to assert the spec-required contract.

BLOCKER: data payload does not match the spec-required structure.

The specification (§agents plan apply JSON tab, docs/specification.md ~line 13432) defines these required fields in data:

  • artifacts (int: files changed)
  • changes ({insertions, deletions})
  • project (string: project identifier)
  • applied_at (ISO 8601 timestamp)
  • validation ({tests, lint, type_check, duration_s})
  • sandbox_cleanup ({worktree, branch, checkpoint})
  • lifecycle ({phase, state, total_duration, total_cost, decisions_made, child_plans})

The current implementation returns namespaced_name, processing_state, project_links, arguments, automation_profile, action_name, description, definition_of_done — none of which appear in the spec for this command.

How to fix: Retrieve the actual apply result data (files changed count, git diff stats, validation outcomes from Execute phase, sandbox cleanup status, lifecycle totals) and populate a data dict that exactly matches the spec. The plan model and apply service already hold most of this information.

BLOCKER: timing is always an empty dict {}.

The spec requires "timing": {"started": "...", "duration_ms": 1250}. Please capture datetime.now(timezone.utc) before the apply call and compute elapsed ms afterwards, then thread started_at and duration_ms parameters through _apply_output_dict() — matching the existing _execute_output_dict() pattern.

Review Summary

This PR attempts to fix issue #9449 by wrapping agents plan apply --format json in a spec-required envelope. The goal is correct, but the implementation has multiple critical blocking issues that prevent approval. CI is also failing on required gates.

CI Status (head: a02cd87)

The following required CI gates are failing:

  • CI / lint — failing after 1m26s
  • CI / unit_tests — failing after 5m1s
  • CI / integration_tests — failing after 4m40s
  • CI / e2e_tests — failing after 6m16s
  • CI / status-check — failing (aggregate)
  • ⚠️ CI / coverage — skipped (blocked by failing tests)

All required CI gates must pass before this PR can be approved or merged.


BLOCKER 1 — data payload does not match the spec

Spec (docs/specification.md §agents plan apply, JSON tab) requires the following fields inside data:

"data": {
  "plan_id": "...",
  "artifacts": 6,
  "changes": {"insertions": 42, "deletions": 9},
  "project": "local/api-service",
  "applied_at": "2026-02-08T13:04:00Z",
  "validation": {
    "tests": {"status": "passed", "passed": 24, "total": 24},
    "lint": {"status": "passed", "warnings": 0},
    "type_check": {"status": "passed", "errors": 0},
    "duration_s": 12.4
  },
  "sandbox_cleanup": {"worktree": "removed", "branch": "merged to main", "checkpoint": "archived"},
  "lifecycle": {
    "phase": "apply", "state": "applied", "total_duration": "00:06:14",
    "total_cost": "$0.0847", "decisions_made": 8, "child_plans": 2
  }
}

Implementation returns: plan_id, namespaced_name, phase, processing_state, state, project_links, arguments, automation_profile, action_name, description, definition_of_done.

Only plan_id overlaps with the spec. All other spec-required fields (artifacts, changes, project, applied_at, validation, sandbox_cleanup, lifecycle) are absent.

Issue #9449 contains an explicit acceptance criteria list for every one of these fields. None of them are satisfied.

BLOCKER 2 — messages format contradicts the spec

Spec (line ~13466): "messages": ["Changes applied"] — a flat string list.

Implementation emits: [{"level": "ok", "text": "Plan applied"}] — a list of objects.

The BDD test steps also assert the object format, meaning the tests validate an implementation that diverges from the spec. If structured messages are desired, this requires an ADR and a spec update first.

BLOCKER 3 — timing is always empty

Spec requires: "timing": {"started": "2026-02-09T14:30:00Z", "duration_ms": 1250}.

Implementation always returns "timing": {}. The apply operation has a measurable duration that must be captured and reported.

BLOCKER 4 — _apply_output_dict docstring documents the wrong structure

The docstring inside _apply_output_dict shows the envelope with namespaced_name, phase, processing_state, and project_links in data. This is the implementation's invented structure, not the spec's structure. Docstrings must reflect the actual spec contract so future developers are not misled.

BLOCKER 5 — BDD tests verify non-spec fields

The new BDD scenario apply_plan JSON output has spec-required envelope structure checks:

  • plan_id ✓ (present in spec)
  • namespaced_name ✗ (NOT in spec's data structure for plan apply)

The scenario is titled "spec-required" but does not validate the actual spec-required fields (artifacts, changes, project, applied_at, validation, sandbox_cleanup, lifecycle). This gives a false impression of spec compliance.

Additionally the messages assertion checks for level and text keys, which contradicts the spec's flat-string-list format.

BLOCKER 6 — Branch naming violates project convention

Branch name pr/9817-plan-apply-json-envelope does not follow the required bugfix/mN-<name> pattern for bug fix work. For milestone v3.2.0 the correct name would be bugfix/m2-plan-apply-json-envelope. Additionally, the issue Metadata section specifies Branch: fix/plan-apply-json-envelope — neither the actual branch name nor the project naming convention is being followed.

Both the commit footer (ISSUES CLOSED: #9817) and the PR body (ISSUES CLOSED: #9817) reference issue #9817, but #9817 is another pull request, not an issue. The underlying bug issue is #9449. The correct reference is ISSUES CLOSED: #9449.

The PR has no Forgejo dependency links. Per CONTRIBUTING.md, this PR must block issue #9449. The correct setup:

  • On this PR → add #9449 under "blocks"
  • Verify: on issue #9449, this PR appears under "depends on"

Without this link the dependency direction is untracked and Forgejo cannot enforce ordering.


Summary of required changes

  1. Fix _apply_output_dict() — populate the spec-required data fields: artifacts, changes (from git diff stats), project (first project link), applied_at (timestamp), validation (from Execute-phase records), sandbox_cleanup (worktree/branch/checkpoint status), lifecycle (phase, state, total_duration, total_cost, decisions_made, child_plans)
  2. Fix messages — change to flat string list ["Changes applied"] per spec
  3. Fix timing — capture apply start time before the operation and populate {started, duration_ms}
  4. Fix the docstring — align it with the actual spec structure, not the invented one
  5. Fix BDD tests — assert artifacts, project, applied_at, validation, sandbox_cleanup, lifecycle in data; fix messages assertion to match flat string format
  6. Rename branch to bugfix/m2-plan-apply-json-envelope (matching the convention for milestone v3.2.0)
  7. Fix commit footer — use ISSUES CLOSED: #9449
  8. Add Forgejo dependency link — this PR must block issue #9449
  9. Fix all CI failures — lint, unit_tests, integration_tests, and e2e_tests must all pass

BLOCKER: Scenario title says "spec-required" but validates non-spec fields.

The scenario is named apply_plan JSON output has spec-required envelope structure, which implies it validates the spec contract. However, it checks namespaced_name — a field that is not in the spec — and does not check any of the actual spec-required data fields (artifacts, changes, project, applied_at, validation, sandbox_cleanup, lifecycle).

How to fix: Replace the namespaced_name step with steps verifying the spec-required nested fields. For example:

And the apply JSON output data has artifacts field
And the apply JSON output data has changes with insertions and deletions
And the apply JSON output data has validation field
And the apply JSON output data has sandbox_cleanup field
And the apply JSON output data has lifecycle field

BLOCKER: messages assertion tests the wrong format.

This assertion checks that each message has level and text keys, but the spec defines messages as a flat string list: ["Changes applied"]. Iterating over strings and checking for dict keys would either pass vacuously or fail at runtime.

How to fix: Change the assertion to verify that parsed["messages"] is a non-empty list of strings, e.g.:

assert all(isinstance(m, str) for m in parsed["messages"]), ...
assert "Changes applied" in parsed["messages"], ...

BLOCKER: BDD step asserts namespaced_name, which is not a spec-required data field.

The spec for plan apply --format json does not include namespaced_name in the data structure. This step is testing an invented field rather than a spec-required one.

How to fix: Replace this step with assertions for spec-required data fields such as artifacts (int), project (str), applied_at (str), and the nested dicts validation, sandbox_cleanup, and lifecycle. Add separate @then steps for each of these to provide clear test coverage of the spec contract.

BLOCKER: data payload does not match the spec-required structure.

The spec (docs/specification.md §agents plan apply, JSON tab) requires these fields inside data:

  • plan_id
  • artifacts (int: number of files changed) ✗ missing
  • changes ({insertions: int, deletions: int}) ✗ missing
  • project (string: first project link name) ✗ missing
  • applied_at (ISO 8601 timestamp) ✗ missing

  • sandbox_cleanup ({worktree, branch, checkpoint}) ✗ missing

The fields currently present (namespaced_name, processing_state, project_links, arguments, automation_profile, action_name, description, definition_of_done) do not appear in the spec for this command.

Issue #9449 acceptance criteria explicitly lists every one of the missing fields. None are satisfied by this implementation.

How to fix: Retrieve the apply result data from the plan model, execution records, and sandbox service, then assemble a data dict that exactly matches the spec. See issue #9449 for the full acceptance criteria.

BLOCKER: The docstring documents the wrong envelope structure.

The docstring shows namespaced_name, phase, processing_state, and project_links inside data, but the spec defines data as containing artifacts, changes, project, applied_at, validation, sandbox_cleanup, and lifecycle.

BLOCKER: messages format contradicts the spec.

Spec (docs/specification.md line ~13466):

"messages": ["Changes applied"]

This is a flat list of strings, not a list of objects.

Implementation: [{"level": "ok", "text": "Plan applied"}] — a list of dicts.

These are different contracts. If structured messages are desired for the future, that change requires an ADR and a spec update first, submitted as a separate PR.

Re-Review Summary (head: 360447332d)

Thank you for iterating on this PR. The commit footer has been corrected to reference ISSUES CLOSED: #9449 and timing is now partially populated — those are positive steps. Unfortunately the core blocking issues from both previous reviews remain unresolved, and the latest push has also introduced new regressions. CI is still failing on multiple required gates.

CI Status (head: 360447332d)

  • CI / lint — failing after 1m32s
  • CI / e2e_tests — failing after 1m43s
  • CI / typecheck — failing after 1m51s
  • CI / integration_tests — failing after 2m1s
  • CI / security — failing after 2m3s
  • CI / benchmark-regression — failing after 1m7s
  • ⚠️ CI / unit_tests — started but status pending
  • ⚠️ CI / coverage, CI / docker, CI / status-check — blocked by required conditions

All required CI gates must pass before this PR can be approved or merged.


NEW REGRESSION: Critical Indentation Error in lifecycle_apply_plan()

Line 2376 of src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py reads:

 if fmt != OutputFormat.RICH.value:

This has 1 space of indentation instead of 8 spaces (the level required inside the try block). Python will either raise an IndentationError or treat this as an outer-scope if statement, causing the function to be syntactically broken. This is almost certainly the root cause of the lint and unit_tests CI failures.

How to fix: Indent the if fmt != OutputFormat.RICH.value: block and its body to 8 spaces (matching the surrounding try: block indentation level).


BLOCKER 1 (Unresolved from prior reviews) — data payload still does not match the spec

The _apply_output_dict() function still returns namespaced_name, phase, processing_state, project_links, arguments, automation_profile, action_name, description, definition_of_done in data. None of the spec-required fields are present (except plan_id).

The spec (docs/specification.md §agents plan apply) requires:

"data": {
  "plan_id": "...",
  "artifacts": 6,
  "changes": {"insertions": 42, "deletions": 9},
  "project": "local/api-service",
  "applied_at": "2026-02-08T13:04:00Z",
  "validation": {
    "tests": {"status": "passed", "passed": 24, "total": 24},
    "lint": {"status": "passed", "warnings": 0},
    "type_check": {"status": "passed", "errors": 0},
    "duration_s": 12.4
  },
  "sandbox_cleanup": {"worktree": "removed", "branch": "merged to main", "checkpoint": "archived"},
  "lifecycle": {
    "phase": "apply", "state": "applied", "total_duration": "00:06:14",
    "total_cost": "$0.0847", "decisions_made": 8, "child_plans": 2
  }
}

Issue #9449 contains explicit acceptance criteria for every one of these fields. This has been flagged in both prior reviews.

How to fix: Retrieve apply result data from the plan model, execution records, and sandbox service; assemble the data dict matching the spec exactly.


BLOCKER 2 (Unresolved from prior reviews) — messages format still contradicts the spec

The implementation still returns [{"level": "ok", "text": "Plan applied"}]. The spec defines messages as a flat list of strings: ["Changes applied"]. This has been flagged in both prior reviews without correction.

How to fix: Change to "messages": ["Changes applied"].


BLOCKER 3 (Unresolved from prior reviews) — _apply_output_dict docstring still documents wrong structure

The docstring embedded example still shows namespaced_name, phase, processing_state, project_links in data — the invented structure, not the spec structure.

How to fix: Update the docstring example to reflect the actual spec-required data structure from docs/specification.md §agents plan apply.


BLOCKER 4 (Unresolved from prior reviews) — BDD scenario still validates non-spec fields

The scenario apply_plan JSON output has spec-required envelope structure still:

  • Checks namespaced_name in data — NOT a spec-required field
  • Does not check artifacts, changes, project, applied_at, validation, sandbox_cleanup, lifecycle
  • Asserts that messages contain level and text keys, which contradicts the flat-string-list spec

How to fix: Replace the namespaced_name step with spec-required field steps; fix the messages assertion to check flat strings.


BLOCKER 5 (Unresolved from prior reviews) — Branch naming violates project convention

Branch pr/9817-plan-apply-json-envelope still does not follow bugfix/mN-<name>. For milestone v3.2.0 the correct name is bugfix/m2-plan-apply-json-envelope.

How to fix: Rename the branch to bugfix/m2-plan-apply-json-envelope.


NEW ISSUE: @tdd_issue_9817 tag uses a PR number, not an issue number

The new BDD scenario is tagged @tdd_issue_9817. However #9817 is this pull request itself (actually this PR is #10982), not the bug issue number. The underlying bug issue is #9449. TDD regression tags must reference the issue number the bug was originally filed under.

How to fix: Change @tdd_issue_9817 to @tdd_issue_9449.


NEW ISSUE: datetime.now() is not timezone-aware

Line 2285: apply_wall_start = datetime.now() produces a naive datetime. The spec example shows ISO 8601 timestamps with UTC offset. timezone is already imported in this module.

How to fix: Use datetime.now(timezone.utc).


NEW ISSUE: Malformed CHANGELOG entry

Line 10: -**plan apply... is missing a space after the hyphen (- **plan apply...). Also, the entry references PR #9817 — this PR is numbered 10982 and the issue is #9449.

How to fix: - **plan apply --format json output wrapped in spec-required JSON envelope** (#9449):


Summary of all required changes

  1. Fix the indentation error (line 2376) — root cause of current CI failures
  2. Fix _apply_output_dict() data — populate spec-required fields: artifacts, changes, project, applied_at, validation, sandbox_cleanup, lifecycle
  3. Fix messages — change to ["Changes applied"] (flat string list)
  4. Fix the docstring — update embedded example to show spec-required data structure
  5. Fix BDD tests — replace namespaced_name step with spec-required field steps; fix messages assertion; change @tdd_issue_9817 to @tdd_issue_9449
  6. Rename branch to bugfix/m2-plan-apply-json-envelope
  7. Fix datetime.now() to datetime.now(timezone.utc)
  8. Fix CHANGELOG entry — correct bullet formatting, remove PR #9817 reference, use #9449
  9. Fix all CI failures after the above changes are applied
  10. Verify Forgejo dependency link — this PR must block issue #9449

    f"Expected messages to be a list of strings: {parsed['messages']}"
)
assert "Changes applied" in parsed["messages"], (
    f"Expected 'Changes applied' in messages: {parsed['messages']}"
)
**BLOCKER (unresolved from both prior reviews): Step asserts `level`/`text` keys, contradicting the spec.** The spec defines `messages` as a flat string list: `["Changes applied"]`. This step iterates over messages checking for `level` and `text` dict keys — the object format the implementation incorrectly emits. **How to fix:** ```python assert all(isinstance(m, str) for m in parsed["messages"]), ( f"Expected messages to be a list of strings: {parsed['messages']}" ) assert "Changes applied" in parsed["messages"], ( f"Expected 'Changes applied' in messages: {parsed['messages']}" ) ```

BLOCKER (unresolved from both prior reviews): Step asserts namespaced_name — not a spec-required data field.

namespaced_name does not appear in the spec-required data structure for plan apply --format json. This step validates an invented field instead of the spec contract. This has been flagged in both prior reviews.

How to fix: Remove this step and replace with assertions for spec-required fields: artifacts (int), project (str), applied_at (str), validation (dict), sandbox_cleanup (dict), lifecycle (dict).

NEW REGRESSION — BLOCKER: Critical indentation error.

This if statement has 1 space of indentation instead of the required 8 spaces to be inside the enclosing try: block. Python will raise an IndentationError or silently treat this as a module-level statement, causing lifecycle_apply_plan() to be syntactically broken. This is almost certainly the root cause of the CI lint/unit_tests failures.

How to fix: Indent this block and its body to 8 spaces:

        if fmt != OutputFormat.RICH.value:
            apply_elapsed_ms = int(
                (datetime.now(timezone.utc) - apply_wall_start).total_seconds() * 1000
            )
            envelope = _apply_output_dict(
                plan,
                started_at=apply_wall_start,
                duration_ms=apply_elapsed_ms,
            )
            console.print(format_output(envelope, fmt))
        else:
            title = "Plan Applied" if plan.is_terminal else "Plan Applying"
            _print_lifecycle_plan(plan, title=title)

BLOCKER (unresolved from both prior reviews): data payload still does not match the spec.

This function still returns namespaced_name, phase, processing_state, project_links, arguments, automation_profile, action_name, description, definition_of_done in data. None of these appear in the spec-required data structure for plan apply.

Spec-required fields (all missing):

  • artifacts (int: files changed)
  • changes ({insertions: int, deletions: int})
  • project (string: first project link name)
  • applied_at (ISO 8601 timestamp with timezone)
  • validation ({tests, lint, type_check, duration_s})
  • sandbox_cleanup ({worktree, branch, checkpoint})
  • lifecycle ({phase, state, total_duration, total_cost, decisions_made, child_plans})

This is the third review flagging this exact issue. Issue #9449 acceptance criteria lists every required field.

How to fix: Retrieve apply result data from the plan model, execution records, and sandbox service; build a data dict that exactly matches docs/specification.md §agents plan apply JSON tab.

BLOCKER (unresolved from both prior reviews): Docstring still documents the wrong structure.

The docstring embedded example still shows namespaced_name, phase, processing_state, project_links in data. This is the implemented (incorrect) structure, not the spec-required one. Future developers reading this docstring will be misled.

How to fix: Replace the docstring example with the spec-required structure from docs/specification.md §agents plan apply.

BLOCKER (unresolved from both prior reviews): messages format contradicts the spec.

Still returns [{"level": "ok", "text": "Plan applied"}]. The spec defines messages as a flat string list: ["Changes applied"]. Flagged in both prior reviews without correction.

How to fix: Change to "messages": ["Changes applied"].

NEW ISSUE: datetime.now() produces a naive (non-timezone-aware) datetime.

The spec requires ISO 8601 timestamps with UTC offset. datetime.now() without a timezone produces a naive datetime whose .isoformat() omits the UTC offset.

How to fix: Use datetime.now(timezone.utc)timezone is already imported in this module.
