Background

The implementation currently includes an executable resource type (used via agents resource add executable <name> --path <path>), but this resource type is not defined in the specification. Per docs/specification.md (lines 10567–10575), the supported resource types are: git-checkout, git, fs-mount, fs-directory, fs-file, container-instance, and devcontainer-instance. There is no executable type.

Additionally, the agents resource list output includes a Location column that is not part of the spec-defined columns (Name, ID, Type, Phys/Virt, Children, Projects per line 11051).

Per human directive from @freemo on #2626: the executable resource type should be removed entirely from the implementation to bring it into compliance with the specification.

Metadata

  • Commit message first line: fix(resources): remove unsupported executable resource type
  • Branch name: fix/remove-executable-resource-type

Subtasks

  • Remove executable resource type registration from _resource_registry_data.py
  • Remove any CLI argument handling specific to the executable type (e.g., --path flag for executables) in resource.py
  • Remove or update any handler code for executable resources
  • Remove the Location column from agents resource list output if it was added solely for executable — or verify it maps to a spec-defined column
  • Update or remove any tests that reference the executable resource type
  • Verify agents resource add help text no longer lists executable as a valid type
  • Run nox -e typecheck — 0 errors
  • Run nox -e unit_tests — all pass
  • Run nox -e lint — all pass

Definition of Done

  • The executable resource type is no longer accepted by agents resource add
  • The agents resource list output columns match the specification: Name, ID, Type, Phys/Virt, Children, Projects
  • All quality gates pass (nox -e typecheck, nox -e unit_tests, nox -e lint)
  • No references to executable resource type remain in production code
  • Supersedes #2626 (closed per human directive)
  • Specification reference: docs/specification.md lines 10567–10575 (resource types), line 11051 (resource list columns)

## Background The implementation currently includes an `executable` resource type (used via `agents resource add executable <name> --path <path>`), but this resource type is **not defined in the specification**. Per `docs/specification.md` (lines 10567–10575), the supported resource types are: `git-checkout`, `git`, `fs-mount`, `fs-directory`, `fs-file`, `container-instance`, and `devcontainer-instance`. There is no `executable` type. Additionally, the `agents resource list` output includes a `Location` column that is not part of the spec-defined columns (`Name`, `ID`, `Type`, `Phys/Virt`, `Children`, `Projects` per line 11051). Per human directive from @freemo on #2626: the `executable` resource type should be removed entirely from the implementation to bring it into compliance with the specification. ## Metadata - **Commit message first line**: `fix(resources): remove unsupported executable resource type` - **Branch name**: `fix/remove-executable-resource-type` ## Subtasks - [ ] Remove `executable` resource type registration from `_resource_registry_data.py` - [ ] Remove any CLI argument handling specific to the `executable` type (e.g., `--path` flag for executables) in `resource.py` - [ ] Remove or update any handler code for `executable` resources - [ ] Remove the `Location` column from `agents resource list` output if it was added solely for `executable` — or verify it maps to a spec-defined column - [ ] Update or remove any tests that reference the `executable` resource type - [ ] Verify `agents resource add` help text no longer lists `executable` as a valid type - [ ] Run `nox -e typecheck` — 0 errors - [ ] Run `nox -e unit_tests` — all pass - [ ] Run `nox -e lint` — all pass ## Definition of Done - [ ] The `executable` resource type is no longer accepted by `agents resource add` - [ ] The `agents resource list` output columns match the specification: `Name`, `ID`, `Type`, `Phys/Virt`, `Children`, `Projects` - [ ] All quality gates pass (`nox -e typecheck`, `nox -e unit_tests`, `nox -e lint`) - [ ] No references to `executable` resource type remain in production code ## Related - Supersedes #2626 (closed per human directive) - Specification reference: `docs/specification.md` lines 10567–10575 (resource types), line 11051 (resource list columns) --- **Automated by CleverAgents Bot** Supervisor: Human Liaison | Agent: ca-human-liaison

Issue triaged by project owner:

  • State: Verified
  • Priority: High (elevated from Medium) — this is a direct spec violation confirmed by human directive from @freemo on #2626. The implementation includes a resource type not defined in the specification.
  • Milestone: v3.6.0 (assigned — resource type cleanup fits the "Additional resource types" scope)
  • MoSCoW: Must Have — per the project's "Specification-First Development" principle, the specification is the authoritative source of truth. When the implementation diverges from the spec, the implementation must be corrected. The executable resource type is not in the spec and must be removed.
  • Parent Epic: #398 (Post-MVP Resources) — dependency link created

This issue was created per explicit human directive and should be prioritized for implementation.

Label compliance fix applied:

  • Removed conflicting label: State/Verified
  • Kept: State/In Progress
  • Reason: Issue had two conflicting State/* labels. Per CONTRIBUTING.md, exactly one State/* label is required. Since the issue is actively in progress, State/In Progress is the correct state.
