Metadata

Commit Message: feat(cli): align actor commands to YAML
Branch: feature/m3-actor-cli

Background

CLI commands agents actor add/remove/list/show are aligned to YAML-first configuration with namespaced names and consistent --format json|yaml|plain outputs.

Acceptance Criteria

Align agents actor add/remove/list/show to YAML-first configs, namespaced names, and --format json|yaml|plain outputs.
Update CLI reference with actor YAML usage and examples.

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

Align agents actor add/remove/list/show to YAML-first configs, namespaced names, and --format json|yaml|plain outputs.
Update CLI reference with actor YAML usage and examples.
Tests (Behave): Add CLI scenarios for actor add/list/show/remove.
Tests (Robot): Add Robot CLI test for actor show output fields.
Tests (ASV): Add benchmarks/actor_cli_bench.py for CLI parsing 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.

Implementation Notes

Design Decisions

Added --format option (json|yaml|plain|table|rich) to actor list, show, add, and update commands in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor.py.
Added --update flag to actor add for updating existing actors via YAML config.
Created _actor_spec_dict() helper for consistent structured output serialization (matching the pattern from action CLI).
Updated _print_actor() to delegate to format_output for non-rich formats.
Used existing OutputFormat and format_output from cli.formatting.

Files Changed

src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor.py - Core CLI changes
features/actor_cli_yaml.feature - 11 new Behave scenarios
features/steps/actor_cli_yaml_steps.py - Step definitions
robot/actor_cli_show.robot - 3 Robot integration tests
robot/helper_actor_cli_show.py - Robot helper
benchmarks/actor_cli_bench.py - ASV benchmarks
docs/reference/actor_cli.md - Full CLI reference

Quality Gates

Lint, typecheck (0 errors), unit_tests, integration_tests all passed.
