Metadata

  • Commit Message: feat(actor): extend hierarchical actor YAML schema and loader
  • Branch: feature/m2-actor-yaml

Background

The actor YAML schema supports hierarchical graphs with nodes, edges, subgraphs, and explicit entry/exit points. Each node declares its type (llm, tool, router), per-node LSP bindings, and tool-source references. Schema validation catches namespaced reference errors, duplicate node IDs, and invalid edge targets.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Extend actor YAML schema to support hierarchical graphs (nodes, edges, subgraphs, entry/exit) with explicit node types (llm, tool, router).
  • Add per-node LSP bindings (lsp_servers, languages, auto_detect) and tool-source references (skills, mcp_servers, agent_skills).
  • Add schema validation for namespaced actor references, duplicate node IDs, and edge target existence.
  • Update actor loader validation errors with precise field paths, remediation hints, and line/column reporting.
  • Update docs/reference/actor_config.md with hierarchical examples and error cases.

Definition of Done

This issue is complete when:

  • All subtasks below are completed and checked off.
  • A Git commit is created where the first line of the commit message matches
    the Commit Message in Metadata exactly, followed by a blank line, then
    additional lines providing relevant details about the implementation. The
    commit body should be appropriate in size for a commit message and relatively
    complete in describing what was done.
  • The commit is pushed to the remote on the branch matching the Branch in
    Metadata exactly.
  • The commit is submitted as a pull request to master, reviewed, and
    merged before this issue is marked done.

Subtasks

  • Extend actor YAML schema to support hierarchical graphs (nodes, edges, subgraphs, entry/exit) with explicit node types (llm, tool, router).
  • Add per-node LSP bindings (lsp_servers, languages, auto_detect) and tool-source references (skills, mcp_servers, agent_skills).
  • Add schema validation for namespaced actor references, duplicate node IDs, and edge target existence.
  • Update actor loader validation errors with precise field paths, remediation hints, and line/column reporting.
  • Update docs/reference/actor_config.md with hierarchical examples and error cases.
  • Add/refresh examples/actors/ hierarchical YAML samples.
  • Tests (Behave): Add scenarios for graph validation (missing nodes, cycles, invalid edge refs, invalid LSP binding refs, duplicate node IDs).
  • Tests (Robot): Add Robot smoke test loading hierarchical actor YAML via CLI.
  • Tests (ASV): Add benchmarks/actor_yaml_bench.py for schema load/validation overhead.
  • Verify coverage >=97% via nox -s coverage_report. If coverage is <97% then review the current unit test coverage report at build/coverage.xml and use it to write new Behave based unit tests to improve code coverage. Specifically, write Behave style unit tests that are descriptively named and specifically improves coverage on whichever file has the most uncovered lines by writing tests that will target the uncovered lines in the report. Once that is done rerun nox -s coverage_report to verify all tests pass and coverage is above >=97%. Only mark this as complete once coverage is >=97%, if not repeat this task as many times as is needed until coverage reaches >=97%.
  • Run nox (all default sessions, including benchmark), fix any errors if needed ensuring nox passes across entire code base, do not ignore any failure even if it seems unrelated to this commit, fix it.

## Metadata - **Commit Message**: `feat(actor): extend hierarchical actor YAML schema and loader` - **Branch**: `feature/m2-actor-yaml` ## Background The actor YAML schema supports hierarchical graphs with nodes, edges, subgraphs, and explicit entry/exit points. Each node declares its type (`llm`, `tool`, `router`), per-node LSP bindings, and tool-source references. Schema validation catches namespaced reference errors, duplicate node IDs, and invalid edge targets. ## Acceptance Criteria - [ ] Extend actor YAML schema to support hierarchical graphs (nodes, edges, subgraphs, entry/exit) with explicit node types (`llm`, `tool`, `router`). - [ ] Add per-node LSP bindings (`lsp_servers`, `languages`, `auto_detect`) and tool-source references (`skills`, `mcp_servers`, `agent_skills`). - [ ] Add schema validation for namespaced actor references, duplicate node IDs, and edge target existence. - [ ] Update actor loader validation errors with precise field paths, remediation hints, and line/column reporting. - [ ] Update `docs/reference/actor_config.md` with hierarchical examples and error cases. ## Definition of Done This issue is complete when: - All subtasks below are completed and checked off. - A Git commit is created where the **first line** of the commit message matches the Commit Message in Metadata exactly, followed by a blank line, then additional lines providing relevant details about the implementation.
