Summary

Improves data variation coverage across the CleverAgents test suite by auditing 587 existing Behave feature files and introducing 220 new parameterised scenarios across 5 new feature files. This addresses the lack of boundary, edge-case, and negative-path coverage in ULID validation, NamespacedName validation, project name validation, and skill schema name validation.

Changes

  • Audit of existing test suite: Reviewed all 587 Behave feature files to identify scenarios with poor data variation (single happy-path examples, missing boundary conditions, absent negative-path coverage). Prioritised four high-impact validation domains for improvement.
  • features/data_variation_plan_ulid.feature (33 scenarios): Covers valid and invalid ULID formats, boundary-length strings, illegal characters, legacy name forms, and CLI-level ULID validation using Scenario Outline + Examples tables.
  • features/data_variation_namespaced_name.feature (32 scenarios): Covers valid namespace/name combinations, special characters in namespace and name segments, and boundary-length inputs.
  • features/data_variation_project_name.feature (35 scenarios): Covers invalid special characters in project names, valid format variations, and path-resolution behaviour.
  • features/data_variation_skill_name.feature (39 scenarios): Covers invalid skill schema names, tool reference formats, MCP transport identifiers, and include-name patterns.
  • features/data_variation_edge_cases.feature (81 scenarios): Covers cross-cutting edge cases including empty/null values, boundary lengths, special characters, and invalid type inputs across all four validation domains.
  • Total addition: 220 new scenarios across 5 new feature files; no existing feature files were modified.

Design Decisions

  • Behave-native Scenario Outline + Examples tables: The preferred data-variation mechanisms — TestDataFactory (issue #2760) and the Centralised Fixture System (issue #2765) — are not yet implemented. Scenario Outline with Examples tables is the idiomatic Behave approach and requires no additional infrastructure, making it the correct choice at this milestone.
  • Additive-only changes: All new scenarios live in new feature files. Existing feature files are untouched, eliminating any risk of regressions in the 592 previously passing features.
  • Behaviour-verified examples: Every row in every Examples table was validated against the actual implementation before inclusion, ensuring the suite reflects real system behaviour rather than aspirational specs.
  • Pipe-character exclusion from table cells: Behave uses | as a table-cell delimiter; any test data containing pipe characters was rewritten to avoid parser conflicts.
  • ValueError for Pydantic ValidationError assertions: Pydantic's ValidationError is a subclass of ValueError. Steps assert a ValueError should be raised to remain compatible with both direct raises and Pydantic-mediated validation without requiring Pydantic-specific step definitions.

Testing

  • Unit tests (Behave): Pass — 592 features passed, 14 636 scenarios passed (0 failures)
  • Integration tests (Robot): N/A — no integration-layer changes
  • Type checking (nox -e typecheck): 0 errors
  • Coverage: Maintained at existing level (new scenarios exercise already-covered implementation paths; no new source modules introduced)
  • Benchmarks: Not needed — test-infrastructure change only

Modules Affected

  • features/data_variation_plan_ulid.feature (new)
  • features/data_variation_namespaced_name.feature (new)
  • features/data_variation_project_name.feature (new)
  • features/data_variation_skill_name.feature (new)
  • features/data_variation_edge_cases.feature (new)

No production source modules were modified.

Closes #2772

Blocked by (resolved via workaround): #2760 (TestDataFactory), #2765 (Centralised Fixture System) — both unimplemented at time of writing; Scenario Outline + Examples tables used as the interim Behave-native approach.

## Summary Improves data variation coverage across the CleverAgents test suite by auditing 587 existing Behave feature files and introducing 220 new parameterised scenarios across 5 new feature files. This addresses the lack of boundary, edge-case, and negative-path coverage in ULID validation, `NamespacedName` validation, project name validation, and skill schema name validation. ## Changes - **Audit of existing test suite**: Reviewed all 587 Behave feature files to identify scenarios with poor data variation (single happy-path examples, missing boundary conditions, absent negative-path coverage). Prioritised four high-impact validation domains for improvement. - **`features/data_variation_plan_ulid.feature`** (33 scenarios): Covers valid and invalid ULID formats, boundary-length strings, illegal characters, legacy name forms, and CLI-level ULID validation using Scenario Outline + Examples tables. - **`features/data_variation_namespaced_name.feature`** (32 scenarios): Covers valid `namespace/name` combinations, special characters in namespace and name segments, and boundary-length inputs. - **`features/data_variation_project_name.feature`** (35 scenarios): Covers invalid special characters in project names, valid format variations, and path-resolution behaviour. - **`features/data_variation_skill_name.feature`** (39 scenarios): Covers invalid skill schema names, tool reference formats, MCP transport identifiers, and include-name patterns. - **`features/data_variation_edge_cases.feature`** (81 scenarios): Covers cross-cutting edge cases including empty/null values, boundary lengths, special characters, and invalid type inputs across all four validation domains. - **Total addition**: 220 new scenarios across 5 new feature files; no existing feature files were modified. ## Design Decisions - **Behave-native Scenario Outline + Examples tables**: The preferred data-variation mechanisms — `TestDataFactory` (issue #2760) and the Centralised Fixture System (issue #2765) — are not yet implemented.

Audited 587 existing Behave feature files to identify scenarios with poor data variation (hardcoded or repetitive single values). Prioritized high-impact candidates: ULID validation, NamespacedName validation, project name validation, and skill schema name validation. Created 5 new feature files using Behave's native Scenario Outline + Examples tables as the data variation mechanism (since blocking issues #2760 TestDataFactory and #2765 Centralized Fixture System are not yet implemented):
- features/data_variation_plan_ulid.feature: 33 scenarios covering valid/invalid ULID formats, boundary lengths, illegal characters (I/L/O/U), legacy names, and CLI command validation
- features/data_variation_namespaced_name.feature: 32 scenarios covering valid names, special characters in namespace/name components, boundary lengths
- features/data_variation_project_name.feature: 35 scenarios covering invalid special characters, valid formats, path resolution
- features/data_variation_skill_name.feature: 39 scenarios covering invalid names, tool refs, MCP transports, include names
- features/data_variation_edge_cases.feature: 81 scenarios covering empty/null values, boundary lengths, special characters, and invalid input types across all four domains

All 592 features pass (14636 scenarios), typecheck passes with 0 errors

Key design decisions:
- Used Behave Scenario Outline + Examples tables as the Behave-native data variation approach (pending #2760 and #2765)
- Created new additive feature files rather than modifying existing ones to avoid breaking existing tests
- Verified each scenario against actual implementation behavior before including in Examples tables
- Removed pipe characters from table cells (Behave table delimiter conflict)
- Used "a ValueError should be raised" for Pydantic ValidationError assertions (Pydantic ValidationError IS a ValueError)

Impact:
- Improves data variation coverage in critical test domains without restructuring the existing test suite
- Keeps changes isolated and additive to minimize risk to current tests
- Maintains alignment with ongoing infrastructure work (factory/fixture system) while providing immediate gains

Independent Code Review: APPROVED

Summary

Reviewed all 684 lines across 5 new Behave feature files adding 220 parameterised scenarios for data variation coverage. This is an additive-only, test-only change — no production code was modified and no existing feature files were touched.

What Was Reviewed

File Scenarios Coverage Domain
data_variation_plan_ulid.feature 33 ULID validation: valid/invalid formats, boundary lengths, illegal chars, legacy names, CLI commands
data_variation_namespaced_name.feature 32 NamespacedName: valid names, special chars in namespace/name, boundary lengths, constructor validation
data_variation_project_name.feature 35 Project names: special chars, empty name, valid formats, path resolution
data_variation_skill_name.feature 39 Skill schema: invalid names, tool refs, MCP transports, include names, null/empty/list inputs
data_variation_edge_cases.feature 81 Cross-cutting: sanitization, special chars, boundary lengths across all domains

Verification

  • Step definitions: All step definitions referenced by the new scenarios exist in the codebase and are correctly wired (verified each Given/When/Then step against existing step files).
  • Scenario Outline substitution: The CLI command scenarios using <command> placeholders will correctly resolve to individual step definitions (execute, apply).
  • Background compatibility: The Background in edge_cases.feature sets context.sanitize_service which is harmless for non-sanitization scenarios.
  • Examples table description columns: Correctly used as documentation-only (not referenced in scenario templates).
  • Commit message: Follows Conventional Changelog format with proper ISSUES CLOSED: #2772 footer.
  • PR metadata: Has Type/Testing label, v3.8.0 milestone (matches issue), and Closes #2772.

Minor Observations (Non-Blocking)

  1. Scenario duplication: There is some overlap between data_variation_edge_cases.feature and the domain-specific files (e.g., ULID illegal characters, NamespacedName special characters, project special characters). This adds test execution time but doesn't affect correctness. Could be consolidated in a future cleanup pass.
  2. Background scope: The Background step in edge_cases.feature runs for all 81 scenarios but is only needed by the ~14 sanitization scenarios. This is harmless overhead but could be restructured if the file grows.

Decision

APPROVED — The PR is well-structured, additive-only, follows project conventions, and all step definitions are properly wired. Scheduling merge for when CI passes.

No needs feedback label Safe to merge.

Code Quality Assessment

Strengths:

  • Well-organized feature files with clear section comments and logical grouping
  • Comprehensive coverage of boundary conditions, special characters, invalid inputs, and edge cases across 4 validation domains
  • description column in Examples tables provides excellent documentation without affecting test execution
  • Additive-only approach eliminates regression risk to existing 592 features
  • Correct design decision to use Scenario Outline (Behave-native) while TestDataFactory (#2760) and Fixture System (#2765) are pending

Minor Observations (Non-Blocking):

  1. Scenario overlap: Some test data appears in both domain-specific files and edge_cases.feature (e.g., ULID illegal characters, NamespacedName special characters). This adds ~15-20 redundant scenario executions but doesn't affect correctness. Could be consolidated in a future pass.
  2. Background scope in edge_cases.feature: The Background: Given I have a plan service for sanitization tests runs for all 81 scenarios but is only needed by ~14 sanitization scenarios. This is harmless overhead but could be restructured if the file grows significantly.
  3. No maximum-length boundary tests: The boundary-length tests cover minimum lengths well (single-char names) but don't test at maximum allowed lengths. This is a gap that could be addressed in a follow-up issue.

Decision

APPROVED — The PR is well-structured, follows all project conventions, adds meaningful test coverage, and all CI checks pass. Proceeding to merge.

Code Quality Assessment

Strengths:

  • Well-organized feature files with clear section comments and logical grouping by validation domain
  • Comprehensive coverage of boundary conditions, special characters, invalid inputs, and edge cases across 4 validation domains (ULID, NamespacedName, project name, skill schema)
  • description column in Examples tables provides excellent documentation without affecting test execution
  • Additive-only approach eliminates regression risk to existing 592 features
  • Correct design decision to use Scenario Outline (Behave-native) while TestDataFactory (#2760) and Fixture System (#2765) are pending
  • CLI command scenarios correctly use <command> substitution to test both execute and apply paths

Minor Observations (Non-Blocking):

  1. Scenario overlap: ~20 scenarios appear in both domain-specific files and edge_cases.feature (ULID illegal chars, NamespacedName special chars, project special chars, skill MCP transports). Adds execution time but doesn't affect correctness. Could be consolidated in a future cleanup pass.
  2. Background scope in edge_cases.feature: Given I have a plan service for sanitization tests runs for all 81 scenarios but is only needed by ~14 sanitization scenarios. Harmless overhead but could be restructured if the file grows.
  3. Description column inaccuracies in ULID wrong-length examples: Two entries have incorrect character counts in the description column (e.g., 01ARZ3NDEKTSV4RRFFQ69G5FAVXX is 28 chars, described as "27 chars"). Since the description column is documentation-only and not referenced in scenario templates, this doesn't affect test correctness.

Security

  • No secrets or credentials in test data
  • No injection vulnerabilities (feature files are declarative)
  • Test data uses safe, synthetic values

Decision

APPROVED — The PR is well-structured, follows all project conventions, adds meaningful test coverage across 220 new parameterised scenarios, and all CI checks pass. All step definitions are verified to exist and correctly wired. Proceeding to merge.

Performed a thorough independent review of the complete 684-line diff across 5 new Behave feature files (220 parameterised scenarios). Independently verified every step definition reference against the existing step implementation files — this review provides a fresh perspective from the three prior COMMENT reviews.

Step Definition Verification (Independently Confirmed)

Every Given/When/Then step used across all 5 feature files was traced to its implementing step definition:

Step File Steps Verified Feature Files Using
plan_ulid_validation_steps.py 9 steps (validate, CLI runner, invoke, abort, output) plan_ulid.feature, edge_cases.feature
plan_model_steps.py 3 steps (parse, namespace, item name) namespaced_name.feature, edge_cases.feature
plan_namespaced_name_tdd_steps.py 2 steps (parse expecting error, construct expecting error) namespaced_name.feature, edge_cases.feature
lsp_registry_steps.py 1 step (ValueError should be raised) namespaced_name.feature, edge_cases.feature
validation_test_fixture_steps.py 10 steps (sanitize, project create/validate, path) project_name.feature, edge_cases.feature
skill_schema_steps.py 15 steps (YAML string variants, validate, error mention) skill_name.feature, edge_cases.feature

Context variable wiring verified: The plan_namespaced_name_tdd_steps.py When steps correctly set context.lsp_error (in addition to context.exception and context.error), which is what the a ValueError should be raised Then step in lsp_registry_steps.py checks. ✓

CLI command substitution verified: The plan <command> Scenario Outline correctly substitutes execute and apply from Examples tables, matching the separate I invoke ulid-validation plan execute with and I invoke ulid-validation plan apply with step definitions. ✓

Verification Checklist

Criterion Status Notes
Specification alignment Feature files in features/ directory per spec. Scenario Outline + Examples is idiomatic Behave.
Step definition wiring All 40+ distinct Given/When/Then steps verified against 6 step files.
Commit message Conventional Changelog: refactor(tests): .... ISSUES CLOSED: #2772 footer. Detailed body.
PR metadata Type/Testing label ✓, v3.8.0 milestone ✓, Closes #2772 ✓.
No production code changes Only 5 new .feature files. Zero existing files modified.
CI status All required checks pass: lint, typecheck, security, quality, unit_tests, coverage, integration_tests, e2e_tests, build, status-check.
No needs feedback label Safe to merge.
No # type: ignore N/A — no Python source files changed.
Files under 500 lines Largest file: 228 lines (edge_cases.feature).
No secrets/credentials All test data is synthetic.

Minor Observations (Non-Blocking)

  1. Scenario overlap (~20 scenarios): Some test data appears in both domain-specific files and edge_cases.feature (ULID illegal chars, NamespacedName special chars, project special chars, skill MCP transports). Adds execution time but doesn't affect correctness. Could be consolidated in a future cleanup pass.
  2. Background scope in edge_cases.feature: Given I have a plan service for sanitization tests runs for all 81 scenarios but is only needed by ~14 sanitization scenarios. Harmless overhead.
  3. Correct design decision: Using Scenario Outline + Examples tables (Behave-native) while TestDataFactory (#2760) and Fixture System (#2765) are pending is the right interim approach.

Decision

APPROVED — The PR is well-structured, follows all project conventions, adds meaningful test coverage across 220 new parameterised scenarios, all step definitions are verified to exist and correctly wired, and all CI checks pass. Proceeding to merge.
