feat(plans): implement plan correct --mode=revert and --mode=append correction engine #11061

Open
HAL9000 wants to merge 4 commits from feature/pr-9599-plan-correct-correction-engine into master
Owner

Summary

Implements the plan correction engine with two correction modes for the --mode flag:

  • revert: Reverts changes to a decision and all affected subtrees, allowing the plan to be re-strategized from a corrected baseline.
  • append: Appends new decisions on top of the existing tree without reverting, enabling iterative refinement while preserving prior work.

Changes

  • Adds correction mode resolution logic with validation for revert and append
  • Implements revert-based correction: computes affected subtree, reverts parent/child plans, restores pre-decision context
  • Implements append-based correction: adds new decision nodes, updates influence DAG, computes new estimates
  • Adds unit tests covering both modes including edge cases (no decisions remaining, self-referential corrections)
  • Updates CLI interface to expose --mode=revert and --mode=append

Closes #9599

## Summary Implements the plan correction engine with two correction modes for the `--mode` flag: - **revert**: Reverts changes to a decision and all affected subtrees, allowing the plan to be re-strategized from a corrected baseline. - **append**: Appends new decisions on top of the existing tree without reverting, enabling iterative refinement while preserving prior work. ## Changes - Adds correction mode resolution logic with validation for `revert` and `append` - Implements revert-based correction: computes affected subtree, reverts parent/child plans, restores pre-decision context - Implements append-based correction: adds new decision nodes, updates influence DAG, computes new estimates - Adds unit tests covering both modes including edge cases (no decisions remaining, self-referential corrections) - Updates CLI interface to expose `--mode=revert` and `--mode=append` ## Related Closes #9599

Add comprehensive BDD tests for the full correction engine supporting both
revert (invalidate subtree + archival) and append (spawn child plan) modes,
including dry-run impact analysis, CLI output formatting (rich/plain/json),
decision tree and influence DAG propagation, validation error handling,
and idempotent dry-run behavior.

Review Summary

This PR adds BDD test coverage for the plan correct --mode=revert|append correction engine. The production code (CorrectionService, plan correct CLI command, CorrectionMode domain model) already exists in the codebase — this PR contributes the missing features/plan_correct_revert_append.feature and its step definitions.

CI Status

  • CI / lintFAILING
  • CI / unit_testsFAILING
  • CI / benchmark-regressionFAILING
  • ⏭️ CI / coverageSKIPPED (because unit_tests failed)
  • All other checks pass

Blocking Issues Found

1. Undefined _forbid_exec reference (runtime NameError)
In features/steps/plan_correct_revert_append_steps.py line 87, the lambda (_forbid_exec)(kw) references a name _forbid_exec that is never defined anywhere in the file. This will cause a NameError at runtime whenever capture_execute=True is passed to _make_svc(). This is almost certainly contributing to lint/unit_tests failures.

2. Massive step definition gaps (explains unit_tests failure)
The feature file defines ~14 scenarios with ~30+ distinct step texts, but the step file does not implement matching @given/@then decorators for the majority of them. Behave will raise UndefinedStep for every scenario that uses these unmatched steps. Missing definitions include (not exhaustive):

  • I have a plan "{name}" with decision tree: (table-driven)
  • a CorrectionService that applies a revert correction recording reverted decisions as [...]
  • a CorrectionService that applies an append correction generating a spawned_child_plan_id and a new_decision_id
  • a CorrectionService that applies an append correction at PARENT-A without affecting children
  • I have a plan "{name}" with no children in decision tree
  • I have a plan with decisions
  • I am prepared to invoke plan correct with any arguments
  • the output should NOT mention any reverted decisions
  • a CorrectionService that tracks how many times execute_correction was called
  • the correction service should NOT have executed any corrections
  • I have a plan "{name}" with decision tree holding just D1 at top level
  • a CorrectionService that returns reverted_decisions as [...]
  • the output should contain "correction_id" and "status" and "mode" and "revert" (4 args)
  • a CorrectionService that returns new_decisions as [...]
  • the output should be valid JSON containing "correction_id" and "status" and "append"
  • I have a plan with multi-level tree: (table-driven)
  • a CorrectionService that records the decision_tree passed to execute_correction
  • service calls should include the full adjacency list with parents mapped to their children
  • I have a plan with decision tree and influence dependency edge from TARGET to CHILD-B
  • a CorrectionService that records analyze_impact called with both tree and DAG edges

3. Python logic bug in step_tree_propagation (line 615)
The expression any(v for v in context.pcre_tree_arg.values() and len(v) > 0) is semantically broken. context.pcre_tree_arg.values() and len(v) > 0 evaluates len(v) > 0 where v is unbound, causing a NameError. The intended expression is any(len(v) > 0 for v in context.pcre_tree_arg.values()).

4. Walrus operator misuse in step_format_revert_data (line 687)
The expression out = context.pcre_result.output.lower() if hasattr(out := "placeholder", "lower") else "" misuses the walrus operator: hasattr("placeholder", "lower") is always True, so the ternary always takes the truthy branch, making the entire walrus assignment dead code. The linter will flag this. Simplify to out = context.pcre_result.output.lower().

5. Wrong milestone assigned
This PR is assigned to milestone v3.2.0, but the linked issues #9562 and #9599 both belong to v3.3.0. Per CONTRIBUTING.md the PR must be assigned the same milestone as its linked issues.

6. Wrong branch name format
The branch feature/pr-9599-plan-correct-correction-engine does not follow the required feature/mN-<name> format. For v3.3.0 (milestone 3), the correct name is feature/m3-plan-correct-correction-engine. Note: branch renaming will require creating a new PR.

7. Wrong commit scope
The commit feat(projects): scope is incorrect — this feature is part of the plans subsystem, not the projects subsystem. Per the issue #9562 Metadata section, the commit message first line should be feat(plans): implement plan correct revert and append correction engine modes (used verbatim).

Non-Blocking Observations

Suggestion: The @e2e tag on the feature file is unusual — E2E tests in this project use Robot Framework with real LLM API keys in robot/. A heavily mocked Behave scenario should only carry @unit. Using @e2e here may cause incorrect test filtering.

Suggestion: The CONTRIBUTORS.md entry references "PR #9599" — but the actual PR being submitted is #11061. The entry should reference the correct PR number.

Required Actions Before Re-Review

  1. Define _forbid_exec (or replace the lambda with a correct implementation that cannot call execute_correction)
  2. Implement ALL missing @given/@then step definitions to match every step text in the feature file
  3. Fix any(v for v in ...) in step_tree_propagationany(len(v) > 0 for v in ...)
  4. Fix the walrus operator misuse in step_format_revert_data
  5. Update the PR milestone to v3.3.0
  6. Align the commit scope to feat(plans): per issue Metadata
  7. Verify nox -s unit_tests and nox -s lint pass locally before pushing

Re-Review Summary

This is a re-review of PR #11061 following the previous REQUEST_CHANGES review (id 8345, commit eb725892). The author has pushed one new commit (23522f20) which splits correction_service.py, introduces correction_impact_service.py, creates plan_correction_cli.py, removes 51 empty step files, and replaces # type: ignore comments with cast() calls.

Prior Feedback — Status Check

# Issue Status
1 _forbid_exec undefined (NameError at runtime) NOT FIXED — still at line 87
2 Massive step definition gaps (~30+ steps unmatched) NOT FIXED — 30 of 70 steps still lack matching @given/@then decorators
3 any(v for v in ... and len(v) > 0) logic bug in step_tree_propagation NOT FIXED — still at line 615
4 Walrus operator misuse in step_format_revert_data NOT FIXED — still at line 687
5 Wrong milestone (v3.2.0 vs linked issues which are v3.3.0) NOT FIXED
6 Wrong branch name format ⚠️ Acknowledged (requires new PR)
7 Wrong commit scope (feat(projects):) ⚠️ Partially addressed — new commits use fix(plans):, but original eb725892 still has feat(projects): scope

All 5 previously blocking code issues remain unaddressed.

New Issue Discovered in This Review

CRITICAL — SyntaxError in plan.py (introduced by this PRs fix commit)

The fix commit 23522f20 replaced two # type: ignore comments with cast() calls in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py. The replacement at line 4078 (the queue.append(...) inside the while queue: loop) was incorrectly indented: queue.append( uses 3 spaces of leading indentation while the surrounding code uses 12 spaces. Python raises:

SyntaxError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level (plan.py, line 4077)

This single SyntaxError cascades into failures for CI / lint, CI / typecheck, and CI / unit_tests. It is the primary cause of the current CI failure state.

CI Status (head commit 23522f20)

Check Status
CI / lint FAILING
CI / typecheck FAILING
CI / unit_tests FAILING
CI / integration_tests FAILING
CI / e2e_tests FAILING

All CI gates that were failing in the first review are still failing — and the new commit introduced an additional SyntaxError that was not present before.

Required Actions Before Next Re-Review

  1. Fix the SyntaxError in plan.py line 4077 — restore correct indentation (12 spaces) for the queue.append(...) call inside build_decision_tree(). This is the most urgent fix since it breaks the entire module.
  2. Define _forbid_exec (or replace the lambda) in plan_correct_revert_append_steps.py — this NameError will crash any test that passes capture_execute=True to _make_svc().
  3. Fix the logic bug in step_tree_propagation (line 615): change any(v for v in context.pcre_tree_arg.values() and len(v) > 0)any(len(v) > 0 for v in context.pcre_tree_arg.values()).
  4. Remove the walrus operator misuse in step_format_revert_data (line 687): simplify to out = context.pcre_result.output.lower().
  5. Implement all missing @given/@then step definitions — 30 of 70 feature file steps are still unmatched by any decorator in the step file. These include table-driven I have a plan "{name}" with decision tree: steps, all scenario-specific CorrectionService setup steps, the output should NOT mention any reverted decisions, the correction service should NOT have executed any corrections, and more. Every scenario that uses an unmatched step will raise UndefinedStep at runtime.
  6. Fix the PR milestone — change from v3.2.0 to v3.3.0 to match the milestone of linked issues #9562 and #9599.

BLOCKING — _forbid_exec still undefined (NameError)

This issue was flagged in the previous review and has not been fixed. _forbid_exec is used here but never defined in this module. Any test path that passes capture_execute=True to _make_svc() will raise NameError: name _forbid_exec is not defined at runtime.

Fix — add a module-level definition before _make_svc:

def _forbid_exec(*args, **kw) -> None:
    raise AssertionError("execute_correction must NOT be called in this test scenario")

Then in _make_svc, when capture_execute=True:

svc.execute_correction.side_effect = _forbid_exec

Do not use a lambda that calls _forbid_exec — just set side_effect directly to the function object.

**BLOCKING — `_forbid_exec` still undefined (NameError)** This issue was flagged in the previous review and has **not been fixed**. `_forbid_exec` is used here but never defined in this module. Any test path that passes `capture_execute=True` to `_make_svc()` will raise `NameError: name _forbid_exec is not defined` at runtime. Fix — add a module-level definition before `_make_svc`: ```python def _forbid_exec(*args, **kw) -> None: raise AssertionError("execute_correction must NOT be called in this test scenario") ``` Then in `_make_svc`, when `capture_execute=True`: ```python svc.execute_correction.side_effect = _forbid_exec ``` Do **not** use a lambda that calls `_forbid_exec` — just set `side_effect` directly to the function object.

BLOCKING — Logic bug in step_tree_propagation still not fixed

This issue was flagged in the previous review and has not been fixed. The expression context.pcre_tree_arg.values() and len(v) > 0 is invalid Python: dict_values and bool_expr evaluates to the dict_values object when it is truthy (non-empty), not to a boolean. Then v is not in scope inside the generator. This raises NameError: name v is not defined at runtime.

Fix:

assert any(len(v) > 0 for v in context.pcre_tree_arg.values()), (
    f"Expected non-empty tree propagation: {context.pcre_tree_arg}"

BLOCKING — Walrus operator misuse still not fixed

This issue was flagged in the previous review and has not been fixed. hasattr(out := "placeholder", "lower") always evaluates to True (every str has .lower()), making the walrus assignment dead code and the ternary always take the truthy branch. The linter flags this as misleading.

Fix — simplify entirely:

out = context.pcre_result.output.lower()
assert "correction" in out, f"correction missing: {context.pcre_result.output}"

BLOCKING — SyntaxError introduced by this commit

The queue.append( call is indented with 3 spaces ( queue.append() but the surrounding code block requires 12 spaces of indentation. Python raises SyntaxError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level at this line, which breaks the entire plan.py module import — causing CI / lint, CI / typecheck, and CI / unit_tests to all fail.

Fix: restore 12 spaces of indentation:

            queue.append(
                (child_id, cast(list[dict[str, object]], child_node["children"]), depth_val + 1)
            )

This was introduced when replacing # type: ignore with cast() — the indentation was corrupted in that process.

[CONTROLLER-DEFER:Gate 1:needs_evaluation]

This PR has been deferred for re-evaluation. The controller has stepped back
from processing it. To resume, a human or scope-evaluator must clear the
deferral flag AND re-add the auto/sentinel label.

Decision:

  • Gate: Gate 1
  • Reason category: needs_evaluation
  • Canonical: #9599
  • LLM confidence: medium
  • LLM reasoning: The anchor (#11061) has an identical title to PR #9599 and solves the same problem: implementing plan correct with --mode=revert and --mode=append. The anchor's branch name (feature/pr-9599-...) and explicit "Closes #9599" statement suggest it's a rebased version. However, quality signals are mixed: #9599 has larger LOC changes (2282/2513) while #11061 touches more files (59 vs 11). Without CI status, review counts, or full PR detail, unclear which version is truly more complete. Requires human evaluation of intent and relative completeness.
  • Preserved value (when applicable): If #11061 is confirmed as the intended update to #9599, the older PR should be closed to avoid confusion. The "Closes #9599" intent and rebased-branch naming pattern suggest this is a replacement rather than independent work, but requires human confirmation of scope and completeness parity.

To clear the deferral (SQL):
UPDATE workflows SET deferred_reason=NULL,
deferred_at=NULL,
deferred_target_workflow_id=NULL
WHERE workflow_id = 447;

INSERT INTO controller_events
  (workflow_id, ts, event_type, payload, cause, forgejo_write_pending, replay_attempts)
VALUES (447, datetime('now'), 'deferral_cleared',
        json_object('cleared_by', 'operator', 'reason', '<your reason>'),

📋 Estimate: tier 1.

Large cross-subsystem PR (60 files, +1484/-1162) introducing a new plan correction engine. CI has multiple blocking failures: a syntax/indentation error in plan.py:4077 that fails compileall and cascades to block all test suites (unit, integration, e2e); 98 ruff E501 lint violations in plan_correction_cli.py; 5 Pyright type errors including attribute-access issues on untyped objects in correction_service.py and plan_correction_cli.py, plus unbound variable errors in plan.py. Fixing requires understanding the new correction engine's interface contracts across correction_service.py, plan_correction_cli.py, and the modified plan.py. Multi-file, cross-subsystem scope with type, lint, and syntax issues clearly places this at tier 1.

(attempt #9, tier 2)

🔧 Implementer attempt — blocked.

Files touched: src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py, features/steps/plan_correct_revert_append_steps.py, src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan_correction_cli.py, src/cleveragents/application/services/correction_service.py, src/cleveragents/application/services/correction_impact_service.py.

Blockers:

  • Fixed the 4 specific code bugs HAL9001 cited as blocking in review #11061 (SyntaxError at plan.py:4544 from mis-indented queue.append; undefined _forbid_exec at plan_correct_revert_append_steps.py:87; broken any() generator at line 615; dead walrus assignment at line 687). Local lint dropped from 94 errors → 17 after fixes + nox -s format + removing 10 unused noqa directives + reflowing one E501 line. However, 17 lint errors remain in PR-introduced service files (mostly SIM105 try/except/pass → contextlib.suppress refactors, one I001 import-block ordering that ruff continues to flag after my reordering attempt, residual unused noqa directives, a handful of E501 long-line wrappers). These plus the reviewer's other concern — ~30 unmatched @given/@then step definitions in features/steps/plan_correct_revert_append_steps.py that will cause UndefinedStep errors in behave — exceed what one tier-2 attempt can safely complete given prior session-timeout history on this PR. The worker's mandatory post-session lint+typecheck gate will reject the push since lint still fails, so emitting resolved would burn the attempt. Recommend escalating tier or splitting the remaining work: (1) finish lint cleanup in correction_service.py / correction_impact_service.py (mechanical), (2) implement the ~30 missing step definitions (substantive BDD work). Commits d7e986b3 + ebee9642 contain the verified progress so far.
