Summary

This PR fixes the critical bug identified in issue #3116: the Invariant, InvariantViolation, InvariantEnforcementRecord, and InvariantSet Pydantic v2 domain models were using validate_assignment=True instead of frozen=True, making them mutable in violation of the spec's value-object immutability contract.

Changes

Domain Models (src/cleveragents/domain/models/core/invariant.py)

  • Invariant.model_config: replaced validate_assignment=True with frozen=True
  • InvariantViolation.model_config: replaced validate_assignment=True with frozen=True
  • InvariantEnforcementRecord.model_config: replaced validate_assignment=True with frozen=True
  • InvariantSet.model_config: replaced validate_assignment=True with frozen=True
  • InvariantSet.invariants: changed from list[Invariant] to tuple[Invariant, ...] for deep immutability — frozen=True prevents field reassignment, and tuple prevents in-place mutation (e.g. .append()). This also makes InvariantSet hashable.

All four models now enforce immutability at the Pydantic level.

Service Layer (src/cleveragents/application/services/invariant_service.py)

  • InvariantService.remove_invariant(): redesigned the soft-delete pattern to use model_copy(update={"active": False}) instead of direct field mutation (inv.active = False). The deactivated copy replaces the original entry in _invariants dict. Updated docstring to explicitly document that the returned object is a new Invariant instance and the original is unchanged (frozen value-object semantics).

Actor Layer (src/cleveragents/actor/reconciliation.py)

  • Updated InvariantSet(invariants=reconciled) call to InvariantSet(invariants=tuple(reconciled)) for Pyright type safety with the new tuple[Invariant, ...] field type.

BDD Test Fixes (features/steps/invariant_reconciliation_actor_steps.py)

  • Fixed step_add_non_overridable_global step that was mutating inv.non_overridable = True after creation. Now constructs the Invariant directly with non_overridable=True at creation time and stores it directly in the service's _invariants dict.

New BDD Scenarios (features/consolidated_domain_models.feature, features/steps/invariant_models_steps.py)

Added 9 new scenarios covering the immutability contract:

  1. Invariant model is immutable after creation — mutation raises pydantic.ValidationError
  2. InvariantViolation model is immutable after creation — mutation raises pydantic.ValidationError
  3. InvariantEnforcementRecord model is immutable after creation — mutation raises pydantic.ValidationError
  4. InvariantSet model is immutable after creation — mutation raises pydantic.ValidationError
  5. Invariant model is hashable — frozen models are hashable
  6. InvariantViolation model is hashable — frozen models are hashable
  7. InvariantEnforcementRecord model is hashable — frozen models are hashable
  8. InvariantSet model is hashable — frozen tuple-based model is hashable
  9. Service soft-delete creates new instance with active=False — verifies object identity (removed is not original), original remains active=True, and returned copy has active=False

Motivation

The spec defines invariants as first-class constraints processed during the read-only Strategize phase and recorded as invariant_enforced decisions. These decisions form a persistent, auditable record — requiring the underlying domain models to be immutable value objects. The previous validate_assignment=True configuration allowed any code holding a reference to silently mutate invariant state, bypassing the service layer and violating the value-object contract.

🔍 Code Review — REQUEST CHANGES

Review focus: test-coverage-quality, test-scenario-completeness, test-maintainability

This PR correctly fixes the critical immutability bug (#3116) by replacing validate_assignment=True with frozen=True on all four invariant domain models, redesigning the soft-delete pattern to use model_copy(update=...), and fixing the reconciliation actor step that was mutating a frozen field. The core implementation is sound and aligns with the spec's value-object immutability contract.

However, the test coverage has gaps that must be addressed before merge.

✅ What's Good

  • Specification Compliance: frozen=True correctly enforces the value-object immutability contract required by the spec for invariant domain models
  • DDD Pattern: model_copy(update={"active": False}) is the correct copy-and-replace pattern for frozen value objects
  • Commit Format: Single atomic commit following Conventional Changelog format with proper ISSUES CLOSED: #3116 footer
  • PR Metadata: Closing keyword, milestone (v3.2.0), and Type/Bug label all present
  • Code Quality: Clean implementation, proper docstrings, fail-fast validation preserved
  • Test Organisation: Step definitions are well-structured with clear section headers and descriptive names

🔄 Required Changes

1. [TEST-COMPLETENESS] Missing InvariantSet immutability and hashability tests

  • Location: features/consolidated_domain_models.feature and features/steps/invariant_models_steps.py
  • Issue: The PR changes InvariantSet.model_config from validate_assignment=True to frozen=True, but there are no test scenarios verifying that InvariantSet is now immutable or hashable. All three other models (Invariant, InvariantViolation, InvariantEnforcementRecord) have both immutability and hashability scenarios, but InvariantSet — which was also changed — has neither.
  • Required: Add at minimum:
    • Scenario: InvariantSet model is immutable after creation — attempting to mutate invariants field raises error
    • Scenario: InvariantSet model is hashable — frozen model is hashable
  • Rationale: Every model changed in this PR should have corresponding test coverage for the change. Untested changes are a regression risk.

2. [TEST-QUALITY] Soft-delete copy-and-replace test does not verify object identity

  • Location: features/steps/invariant_models_steps.py, step step_removed_is_new_object (around line 470)
  • Issue: The scenario is named "Service soft-delete creates new instance with active=False" and the step is named "the removed invariant is a different object than the original", but the step implementation only checks: 
    assert context.removed_inv.active is False
assert isinstance(context.removed_inv, Invariant)
    It does not verify that the returned object is actually a different object from the original. It also does not verify that the original invariant's active field remains True (which is the whole point of immutability — the original is unchanged).
  • Required: The step should:
    1. Store a reference to the original invariant before removal (in the Given/When steps)
    2. After removal, assert context.removed_inv is not original (object identity check)
    3. Assert the original still has active is True (immutability preserved)
  • Rationale: Without these assertions, the test would pass even if model_copy returned the same object or if the original was somehow mutated. The test name promises something it doesn't deliver.

3. [TEST-QUALITY] Immutability tests don't verify the specific exception type

  • Location: features/steps/invariant_models_steps.py, steps step_invariant_mutation_raises, step_violation_mutation_raises, step_record_mutation_raises (around lines 441-465)
  • Issue: All three immutability steps catch bare Exception and only assert error is not None. They don't verify that the raised exception is specifically Pydantic's ValidationError (which is what frozen=True raises). This means the test would pass even if a completely unrelated error occurred (e.g., AttributeError, TypeError).
  • Required: Assert the exception type. For Pydantic v2 frozen models, mutation raises pydantic.ValidationError. The assertion should be: 
    from pydantic import ValidationError as PydanticValidationError
...
assert isinstance(context.error, PydanticValidationError), (
    f"Expected PydanticValidationError, got {type(context.error)}"
)
  • Rationale: Tests should verify specific behavior, not just "something went wrong". This is especially important for a bug fix PR where the exact error mechanism matters.

💡 Suggestions (Non-blocking)

  1. model_copy field preservation: Consider adding a test that verifies model_copy preserves all other fields (id, text, scope, source_name, created_at, non_overridable) when only active is changed. This would catch any future regression where model_copy behavior changes.

  2. Double soft-delete edge case: The service doesn't guard against calling remove_invariant() on an already-deactivated invariant. While not strictly required for this PR, it's worth noting as a potential follow-up.

  3. _invariants dict access in reconciliation step: The step_add_non_overridable_global step directly accesses context.invariant_service._invariants[inv.id] to bypass the service layer. This is a test maintainability concern — if the storage mechanism changes, this test breaks. Consider whether add_invariant() should accept a non_overridable parameter to avoid this coupling. (This could be a separate issue.)

🔍 Code Review — COMMENT

Review focus: architecture-alignment, module-boundaries, interface-contracts

This PR correctly addresses issue #3116 by replacing validate_assignment=True with frozen=True on all four invariant domain models (Invariant, InvariantViolation, InvariantEnforcementRecord, InvariantSet), redesigning the soft-delete pattern to use model_copy(update=...), and fixing the reconciliation actor step that was mutating a frozen field. The core approach is architecturally sound and aligns with the spec's value-object immutability contract.

I'm posting as COMMENT rather than APPROVED or REQUEST_CHANGES because I note a prior review has already flagged test coverage gaps. My review adds an architecture-focused perspective with additional findings.

✅ Architecture Alignment — Strong

  • Value-Object Immutability: The spec defines invariants as first-class constraints processed during the read-only Strategize phase and recorded as invariant_enforced decisions. frozen=True correctly enforces the value-object immutability contract at the Pydantic level. This is the right fix.
  • DDD Copy-and-Replace Pattern: model_copy(update={"active": False}) in remove_invariant() is the correct pattern for modifying frozen value objects. The deactivated copy replaces the original in the _invariants dict, maintaining the service layer as the single point of state mutation.
  • Hashability Benefit: Frozen Pydantic v2 models are automatically hashable, enabling use in sets and as dict keys — a useful property for invariant de-duplication logic.

✅ Module Boundaries — Mostly Respected

  • Service Layer Encapsulation: The service layer correctly mediates all state changes. The remove_invariant() method creates a new frozen copy rather than mutating the domain object directly, which properly respects the boundary between service and domain layers.
  • Domain Model Purity: The domain models remain pure data carriers with validation logic only. No service-layer concerns leak into the models.

⚠️ Findings — Architecture & Interface Concerns

1. [INTERFACE-CONTRACT] remove_invariant() return value semantics changed

  • Location: src/cleveragents/application/services/invariant_service.py, remove_invariant() method
  • Issue: The docstring says Returns: The updated Invariant. but the method now returns a new Invariant instance (a copy with active=False), not the same object updated in-place. This is a subtle but important interface contract change. Any caller that held a reference to the original invariant before calling remove_invariant() will still see active=True on their reference — which is actually the correct behavior for frozen value objects, but the docstring should explicitly document this: 
    Returns:
    A new ``Invariant`` instance with ``active=False``.
    The original invariant object is unchanged (frozen).
  • Severity: Low — the behavior is correct, but the documentation should match the new semantics to avoid confusion for future maintainers.

2. [MODULE-BOUNDARY] Test step bypasses service API via private attribute access

  • Location: features/steps/invariant_reconciliation_actor_steps.py, step_add_non_overridable_global()
  • Issue: The step directly constructs an Invariant with non_overridable=True and stores it via context.invariant_service._invariants[inv.id] = inv, bypassing the service's public add_invariant() API. This is a module boundary violation in tests — if the internal storage mechanism changes (e.g., from dict to database), this test breaks.
  • Context: This is a pragmatic workaround because add_invariant() doesn't expose the non_overridable parameter. The previous code (inv.non_overridable = True after creation) was also a workaround, but it at least went through the service API for the initial creation.
  • Recommendation: Consider filing a follow-up issue to add non_overridable as an optional parameter to add_invariant(), which would eliminate the need for this test to reach into private internals. Not blocking for this PR.

3. [ARCHITECTURE] Shallow immutability on InvariantSet.invariants field

  • Location: src/cleveragents/domain/models/core/invariant.py, InvariantSet class
  • Issue: InvariantSet has invariants: list[Invariant] with frozen=True. While frozen=True prevents reassignment of the invariants field (e.g., inv_set.invariants = [...] raises), the underlying list is still mutable — inv_set.invariants.append(...) would succeed silently, breaking the immutability contract. For a true value-object, the field type should be tuple[Invariant, ...] instead of list[Invariant].
  • Severity: Medium — this is a potential immutability leak. However, since InvariantSet is primarily constructed via the merge() classmethod and consumed read-only, the practical risk is low. Worth noting as a follow-up.

4. [TEST-QUALITY] Agreement with prior review findings

I concur with the three test quality issues identified in the prior review comment:

  1. Missing InvariantSet immutability/hashability tests — All four models were changed but only three have corresponding test scenarios. InvariantSet is untested for the frozen=True change.

  2. Soft-delete test doesn't verify object identity — The step_removed_is_new_object step only checks active is False and isinstance, but doesn't verify the returned object is actually a different object from the original (no is not identity check), nor that the original remains unchanged. This is particularly important from an interface-contract perspective — the whole point of the frozen/copy pattern is that the original is preserved.

  3. Immutability tests catch bare Exception — The tests should assert pydantic.ValidationError specifically, not just "something went wrong". From an interface-contract perspective, the type of error raised is part of the contract.

💡 Non-blocking Suggestions

  1. tuple instead of list for InvariantSet.invariants: Would provide deep immutability. Could be a follow-up issue.
  2. add_invariant(non_overridable=False) parameter: Would eliminate the need for tests to bypass the service API.
  3. Guard against double soft-delete: remove_invariant() doesn't check if the invariant is already inactive. Adding if not inv.active: return inv (or raising) would be a minor improvement.

Decision: COMMENT — The implementation is architecturally sound and the core fix is correct. The test gaps identified by the prior review should be addressed. My additional findings (docstring update, shallow immutability note) are lower priority but worth considering.

[TEST-QUALITY] Agreement with prior review findings I concur with the three test quality issues identified in the prior review comment: 1. **Missing `InvariantSet` immutability/hashability tests** — All four models were changed but only three have corresponding test scenarios. `InvariantSet` is untested for the `frozen=True` change. 2. **Soft-delete test doesn't verify object identity** — The `step_removed_is_new_object` step only checks `active is False` and `isinstance`, but doesn't verify the returned object is actually a *different* object from the original (no `is not` identity check), nor that the original remains unchanged. This is particularly important from an interface-contract perspective — the whole point of the frozen/copy pattern is that the original is preserved. 3. **Immutability tests catch bare `Exception`** — The tests should assert `pydantic.ValidationError` specifically, not just "something went wrong". From an interface-contract perspective, the *type* of error raised is part of the contract. --- ### ✅ Standard Criteria | Criterion | Status | |-----------|--------| | Spec alignment | ✅ Frozen models enforce value-object immutability per spec | | Commit format | ✅ `fix(invariant): ...` with `ISSUES CLOSED: #3116` footer | | PR metadata | ✅ Closes #3116, milestone v3.2.0, Type/Bug label | | Type safety | ✅ No new `# type: ignore` suppressions (existing `# type: ignore[import-untyped]` on behave import is pre-existing project pattern; `# type: ignore[arg-type]` in validation test steps is pre-existing) | | File size | ✅ All files under 500 lines | | Error handling | ✅ Fail-fast validation preserved in service methods | | Atomic commit | ✅ Single commit with implementation, tests, and documentation | | Branch naming | ✅ `fix/invariant-frozen-model-config` follows convention | ### 💡 Non-blocking Suggestions 1. **`tuple` instead of `list` for `InvariantSet.invariants`**: Would provide deep immutability. Could be a follow-up issue. 2. **`add_invariant(non_overridable=False)` parameter**: Would eliminate the need for tests to bypass the service API. 3. **Guard against double soft-delete**: `remove_invariant()` doesn't check if the invariant is already inactive. Adding `if not inv.active: return inv` (or raising) would be a minor improvement. **Decision: COMMENT** — The implementation is architecturally sound and the core fix is correct. The test gaps identified by the prior review should be addressed. My additional findings (docstring update, shallow immutability note) are lower priority but worth considering. --- **Automated by CleverAgents Bot** Reviewer: Code Quality | Agent: ca-pr-self-reviewer

Review Feedback Addressed

Implemented all three required changes from the REQUEST CHANGES review, plus the medium-severity architecture finding from the COMMENT review:

✅ Required Fix 1: InvariantSet immutability and hashability tests

Added two new scenarios to features/consolidated_domain_models.feature:

  • Scenario: InvariantSet model is immutable after creation — asserts PydanticValidationError on field reassignment
  • Scenario: InvariantSet model is hashable — verifies hash() returns an int

Added corresponding step definitions to features/steps/invariant_models_steps.py:

  • step_invariant_set_mutation_raises — asserts PydanticValidationError specifically
  • step_invariant_set_hashable — verifies hash type

✅ Required Fix 2: Soft-delete test verifies object identity and original immutability

Updated step_service_remove to capture a reference to the original invariant before removal. Updated step_removed_is_new_object to assert removed is not original (object identity). Added new step step_original_still_active and scenario step And the original invariant should still be active to verify the original frozen value-object is unchanged after soft-delete.

✅ Required Fix 3: Immutability tests assert pydantic.ValidationError specifically

Updated all three mutation steps (step_invariant_mutation_raises, step_violation_mutation_raises, step_record_mutation_raises) to assert isinstance(context.error, PydanticValidationError) rather than just context.error is not None.

✅ Architecture Fix (medium severity): Deep immutability for InvariantSet

Changed InvariantSet.invariants from list[Invariant] to tuple[Invariant, ...]. This provides deep immutability: frozen=True prevents field reassignment, and tuple prevents in-place mutation (e.g. .append()). This also makes InvariantSet hashable. Updated InvariantSet.merge() to wrap the result in tuple(), and updated reconciliation.py line 375 to pass tuple(reconciled) for Pyright type safety.

## Review Feedback Addressed Implemented all three required changes from the REQUEST CHANGES review, plus the medium-severity architecture finding from the COMMENT review: ### ✅ Required Fix 1: `InvariantSet` immutability and hashability tests Added two new scenarios to `features/consolidated_domain_models.feature`: - `Scenario: InvariantSet model is immutable after creation` — asserts `PydanticValidationError` on field reassignment - `Scenario: InvariantSet model is hashable` — verifies `hash()` returns an `int` Added corresponding step definitions to `features/steps/invariant_models_steps.py`: - `step_invariant_set_mutation_raises` — asserts `PydanticValidationError` specifically - `step_invariant_set_hashable` — verifies hash type ### ✅ Required Fix 2: Soft-delete test verifies object identity and original immutability Updated `step_service_remove` to capture a reference to the original invariant **before** removal. Updated `step_removed_is_new_object` to assert `removed is not original` (object identity). Added new step `step_original_still_active` and scenario step `And the original invariant should still be active` to verify the original frozen value-object is unchanged after soft-delete. ### ✅ Required Fix 3: Immutability tests assert `pydantic.ValidationError` specifically Updated all three mutation steps (`step_invariant_mutation_raises`, `step_violation_mutation_raises`, `step_record_mutation_raises`) to assert `isinstance(context.error, PydanticValidationError)` rather than just `context.error is not None`. ### ✅ Architecture Fix (medium severity): Deep immutability for `InvariantSet` Changed `InvariantSet.invariants` from `list[Invariant]` to `tuple[Invariant, ...]`. This provides **deep immutability**: `frozen=True` prevents field reassignment, and `tuple` prevents in-place mutation (e.g. `.append()`). This also makes `InvariantSet` hashable.

🔍 Code Review — APPROVED (posted as COMMENT due to Forgejo self-review restriction)

Review focus: performance-implications, resource-usage, scalability

Reviewed all changed files across the PR: domain models (invariant.py), service layer (invariant_service.py), actor layer (reconciliation.py), BDD feature file (consolidated_domain_models.feature), and step definitions (invariant_models_steps.py, invariant_reconciliation_actor_steps.py). Also compared against master versions to understand the full diff.

This PR correctly fixes issue #3116 by replacing validate_assignment=True with frozen=True on all four invariant domain models, redesigning the soft-delete to use model_copy(update=...), and changing InvariantSet.invariants to tuple[Invariant, ...] for deep immutability. The previous review's three required changes have all been addressed in the latest commit.

✅ Specification Compliance

  • frozen=True correctly enforces the value-object immutability contract required by the spec for invariant domain models processed during the read-only Strategize phase
  • model_copy(update={"active": False}) is the correct DDD copy-and-replace pattern for frozen value objects
  • tuple[Invariant, ...] provides deep immutability — frozen=True prevents field reassignment, tuple prevents in-place mutation (.append())
  • Module boundaries respected: service layer mediates all state changes

✅ CONTRIBUTING.md Compliance

✅ Test Quality

All three issues from the prior REQUEST_CHANGES review have been addressed:

  1. InvariantSet immutability/hashability tests — Added step_invariant_set_mutation_raises and step_invariant_set_hashable with proper PydanticValidationError assertion
  2. Soft-delete object identity — step_service_remove now captures context.original_inv before removal; step_removed_is_new_object asserts context.removed_inv is not context.original_inv; new step_original_still_active verifies original remains active=True
  3. Specific exception type — All mutation steps now assert isinstance(context.error, PydanticValidationError) instead of bare context.error is not None

9 new BDD scenarios cover immutability, hashability, and soft-delete copy semantics for all four models.

🔬 Deep Dive: Performance Implications, Resource Usage, Scalability

Given special attention to performance characteristics of the changes:

1. frozen=True vs validate_assignment=True — Net Performance Win ✅

validate_assignment=True runs Pydantic validators on every field assignment, incurring validation overhead. frozen=True simply raises ValidationError immediately on any assignment attempt — no validator execution. This is a minor but real performance improvement for all code paths that interact with these models.

2. model_copy(update={"active": False}) — Negligible Overhead ✅

The soft-delete pattern changed from in-place mutation (inv.active = False, O(1)) to copy-on-write (inv.model_copy(update={"active": False}), O(fields)). Pydantic v2's model_copy performs a shallow copy with field update, which is efficient. This operation is called only during user-initiated invariant remove commands — an infrequent operation. The old object becomes GC-eligible once replaced in the _invariants dict. No measurable impact on throughput or memory.

3. list[Invariant] → tuple[Invariant, ...] — Slight Memory Win ✅

Tuples are more memory-efficient than lists (no over-allocation buffer for growth). For read-only collections like reconciled invariant sets, tuple is the optimal choice. The tuple(reconciled) conversion in InvariantSet.merge() and reconciliation.py is O(n) but n is bounded by the number of invariants per plan (typically dozens, not thousands).

4. Scalability of In-Memory Storage — Pre-existing, Adequate ✅

The in-memory _invariants: dict[str, Invariant] storage pattern is unchanged. list_invariants() uses O(n) list comprehensions for filtering; get_effective_invariants() iterates all invariants ~4 times; collect_invariants() calls list_invariants() up to 4 times. These are pre-existing patterns not introduced by this PR. For the expected scale (dozens to low hundreds of invariants per system), this is well within acceptable bounds.

5. Hash Computation — Lazy, No Construction Overhead ✅

frozen=True enables hashability but hash values are computed lazily (only when hash() is called). No overhead is added to model construction. The Invariant model has 7 fields including a datetime — hash computation is O(7) per call, which is trivial.

Performance verdict: This PR is performance-neutral to slightly positive. No regressions, no scalability concerns.

💡 Minor Suggestions (Non-blocking)

  1. Docstring update for remove_invariant(): The docstring still says Returns: The updated Invariant. — it should explicitly document that a new Invariant instance is returned and the original is unchanged (frozen value-object semantics). This was noted in the prior COMMENT review and appears not yet addressed. Example:

    Returns:
    A new ``Invariant`` instance with ``active=False``.
    The original invariant object is unchanged (frozen).

  2. Pre-existing: _invariants dict access in test step: step_add_non_overridable_global directly accesses context.invariant_service._invariants[inv.id] to bypass the service API. This is a pragmatic workaround since add_invariant() doesn't expose non_overridable. Consider a follow-up issue to add this parameter to the public API.

  3. Pre-existing: _enforcement_records list growth: enforce_invariants() appends to self._enforcement_records without bound. For long-running systems, this could grow unbounded. Not introduced by this PR, but worth noting as a future scalability consideration.

✅ Code Correctness

  • model_copy(update={"active": False}) correctly creates a new frozen instance with only the active field changed
  • tuple(reconciled) correctly converts the reconciled list for InvariantSet construction
  • All field validators, fail-fast validation, and error handling are preserved
  • No logic errors, off-by-one issues, or resource leaks detected

Decision: APPROVED ✅

The implementation is correct, well-tested, and has no performance regressions. The frozen=True change is actually a minor performance improvement over validate_assignment=True. All previous review feedback has been addressed. The two non-blocking suggestions (docstring update, test API coupling) can be handled in follow-up work.
