Summary

  • Routes agents actor add through ActorRegistry.add() instead of the legacy registry.upsert_actor() path
  • Adds _load_config_text() helper to read both raw YAML text and parsed dict from config files
  • Preserves original yaml_text, schema_version, and compiled_metadata in the database
  • Updates all Behave and Robot test mocks to use registry.add() instead of registry.upsert_actor()
  • Adds new Behave feature and Robot integration tests verifying the YAML-first path

Problem

The agents actor add CLI command was calling registry.upsert_actor() directly, bypassing the YAML-first persistence path. This meant:

  1. The original YAML text was NOT preserved in the database (yaml_text=None)
  2. The schema_version was not set from the file (defaulted to "1.0")
  3. The compiled_metadata was not stored

Solution

Refactored add() in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor.py to:

  1. Read the raw YAML text from the config file using the new _load_config_text() helper
  2. Call registry.add(yaml_text, update=update_existing) when a registry is available
  3. The service fallback path (no registry) is unchanged

The --unsafe flag still works correctly — it prevents the requires_confirmation check from blocking the call, and registry.add() reads the unsafe field from the YAML blob.

Tests

  • Updated existing Behave step definitions to mock registry.add() instead of registry.upsert_actor()
  • Added features/actor_add_yaml_first_path.feature with 5 scenarios verifying the YAML-first path
  • Added robot/actor_add_yaml_first_path.robot with 3 integration tests
  • All 18 manual test scenarios pass

Closes #3426

Code Review — PR #3462

Review Focus: architecture-alignment, module-boundaries, specification-compliance

Reviewed the full diff across 9 files: the core CLI change in actor.py, the new _load_config_text() helper, the ActorRegistry.add() integration, 5 new Behave scenarios, 3 new Robot integration tests, and all updated mock paths in existing test step files.

❌ Required Changes

1. [REGRESSION] --set-default flag silently ignored when registry is available

  • Location: src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor.py — add() function, registry path (~line 290)
  • Issue: The old code passed set_default=set_default to registry.upsert_actor(). The new code calls registry.add(yaml_text, update=update_existing) which does not accept a set_default parameter. Looking at ActorRegistry.add() in src/cleveragents/actor/registry.py, it hardcodes set_default=False in its internal call to _actor_service.upsert_actor().
  • Impact: Running agents actor add --config actor.yaml --set-default will silently ignore the --set-default flag. The actor will be added but NOT set as default. This is a user-facing behavioral regression.
  • Required: Either (a) add a set_default parameter to ActorRegistry.add() and thread it through, or (b) call registry.set_default_actor(name) after registry.add() when set_default is True.

2. [REGRESSION] --option overrides silently ignored when registry is available

  • Location: src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor.py — add() function, registry path (~line 288)
  • Issue: The old code passed option_overrides=option_overrides to registry.upsert_actor(), which merged them into the canonical blob. The new code calls registry.add(yaml_text, ...) which only receives the raw YAML text. ActorRegistry.add() parses the YAML fresh and has no knowledge of CLI-provided option overrides. The _canonicalize_actor_config() call earlier in the function computes canonical_blob with overrides applied, but this result is never used in the registry path.
  • Impact: Running agents actor add --config actor.yaml --option temperature=0.5 will silently ignore the --option flag. The option override will not be applied. This is a user-facing behavioral regression.
  • Required: Either (a) add an option_overrides parameter to ActorRegistry.add(), or (b) modify the YAML text to include the overrides before passing it to registry.add(), or (c) apply overrides after registry.add() returns via a separate update call.

3. [TEST] Missing test coverage for regressed flags

  • Location: features/actor_add_yaml_first_path.feature, features/steps/actor_add_yaml_first_path_steps.py
  • Issue: The new tests verify that registry.add() is called with yaml_text and update=True, but there are no tests verifying that --set-default and --option flags are properly handled through the new YAML-first path. These are the exact flags that are now broken.
  • Required: Add Behave scenarios verifying:
    • agents actor add --config ... --set-default results in the actor being set as default
    • agents actor add --config ... --option key=value results in the option override being applied

⚠️ Observations (Non-blocking)

4. Code duplication between _load_config() and _load_config_text()

  • Location: src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor.py — both helper functions
  • Issue: _load_config_text() is nearly identical to _load_config(). The only difference is the return type: dict | None vs tuple[str, dict] | None. This is a DRY violation.
  • Suggestion: Refactor _load_config() to call _load_config_text() internally and discard the text, or extract the shared parsing logic into a common helper.

5. PR metadata incomplete

  • Issue: The PR is missing a Type/ label (required by CONTRIBUTING.md — every PR must have exactly one Type/ label). Based on the linked issue #3426 which has Type/Bug, this PR should have Type/Bug as well.
  • Issue: The PR has no milestone assigned. The linked issue is in backlog, so this may be acceptable, but CONTRIBUTING.md states PRs must be assigned to the same milestone as their primary issue.

✅ Good Aspects

  • Architecture alignment: The core intent is correct — routing through ActorRegistry.add() properly preserves yaml_text, schema_version, and compiled_metadata in the database, which aligns with the v3 YAML-first persistence model.
  • Module boundaries: The CLI → Registry → Service layering is properly maintained.
  • Commit message: Follows Conventional Changelog format with proper ISSUES CLOSED footer.
  • Test structure: New Behave feature file is well-structured with clear scenario names. Robot integration tests use the established helper-script pattern.
  • Error handling: The _load_config_text() helper properly validates inputs and raises typer.BadParameter for invalid configs, following fail-fast principles.
  • The ActorRegistry.add() method itself is well-designed with proper validation, namespace enforcement, and duplicate detection.

Summary

The PR correctly identifies and addresses the core problem (CLI bypassing YAML-first persistence), but the refactoring introduces two silent behavioral regressions where the --set-default and --option CLI flags are dropped when routing through registry.add(). These must be fixed before merge, as they would cause user-facing bugs where documented CLI options silently stop working.

[REGRESSION] option_overrides computed earlier in this function are never used in the registry path. The _canonicalize_actor_config() call above computes canonical_blob with overrides applied, but registry.add() only receives the raw yaml_text — the overrides are lost.

Users running agents actor add --config f.yaml --option temperature=0.5 will have their --option flag silently ignored.

[REGRESSION] set_default is not passed to registry.add(). The ActorRegistry.add() method hardcodes set_default=False. This means --set-default is silently ignored.

The old code was:

registry.upsert_actor(
    name=name,
    config_blob=canonical_blob,
    unsafe=resolved.unsafe,
    set_default=set_default,  # ← this was forwarded
    allow_unsafe=unsafe,
    option_overrides=option_overrides,
)

The new code drops set_default entirely. Either add it as a parameter to ActorRegistry.add() or call registry.set_default_actor() after the add.

🔍 Code Review — REQUEST CHANGES

Reviewed PR #3462 with focus on api-consistency, naming-conventions, and code-patterns.

The intent of this PR is correct and well-motivated: routing agents actor add through ActorRegistry.add() to preserve the original YAML text, schema version, and compiled metadata. However, the implementation introduces silent behavioral regressions where several CLI flags are now silently ignored, and violates DRY principles.

Required Changes

1. 🚨 [API-CONSISTENCY / CRITICAL] CLI flags --option, --set-default silently dropped on registry path

  • Location: src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor.py, lines ~531-534 (the new registry.add() call)

  • Issue: The ActorRegistry.add() method signature is:

    def add(self, yaml_text: str, *, update: bool = False, 
        schema_version: str | None = None, 
        compiled_metadata: dict[str, Any] | None = None) -> Actor

    It does not accept option_overrides, set_default, or allow_unsafe parameters. The new code:

    actor = registry.add(
    yaml_text,
    update=update_existing,
)

    This means:

    • --set-default flag is parsed and validated but silently ignored — the actor is never set as default
    • --option key=value overrides are parsed, canonicalized into option_overrides, but never applied — the YAML blob is used as-is
    • The _canonicalize_actor_config() call still runs (computing canonical_blob, resolved, requires_confirmation) but its output is discarded on the registry path

    This is a user-facing behavioral regression. A user running agents actor add --config actor.yaml --set-default --option temperature=0.5 would see no error but the actor would not be set as default and the temperature override would be lost.

  • Required: Either:
    (a) Extend ActorRegistry.add() to accept set_default, option_overrides, and allow_unsafe parameters, or
    (b) After calling registry.add(), apply set_default via registry.set_default_actor() and handle option overrides by modifying the YAML text before passing it, or
    (c) Continue using registry.upsert_actor() but pass yaml_text=yaml_text to it (the legacy method already accepts yaml_text, schema_version, and compiled_metadata kwargs — see registry.py lines 259-274)

    Option (c) is the simplest and most correct approach — it preserves all existing CLI flag behavior while also threading through the YAML text.

2. ⚠️ [API-CONSISTENCY] schema_version and compiled_metadata not threaded through

  • Location: src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor.py, lines ~531-534
  • Issue: The issue's subtask explicitly states: "Ensure schema_version and compiled_metadata are correctly threaded through from the CLI to ActorRegistry.add()". The new code does not pass these parameters. While registry.add() has defaults, the CLI should at minimum extract schema_version from the parsed config blob if present.
  • Required: Extract schema_version from the parsed config blob if present and pass it to registry.add().

3. ⚠️ [CODE-PATTERNS / DRY] _load_config_text() duplicates _load_config()

  • Location: src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor.py, lines ~238-268
  • Issue: _load_config_text() is a near-exact copy of _load_config() with the only difference being it returns (text, dict) instead of just dict. This violates DRY and creates a maintenance burden.
  • Required: Refactor to eliminate duplication. For example, make _load_config() delegate to _load_config_text() and return only the dict portion.

4. ⚠️ [CODE-PATTERNS] Dead code / redundant null checks

  • Location: src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor.py, lines ~496-503
  • Issue: The code checks config is None then immediately calls _load_config_text(config) and checks loaded is None. The second check is dead code — _load_config_text() only returns None when config_path is None, which was already handled.
  • Required: Remove the redundant check, or add a comment explaining the defensive intent.

5. ⚠️ [API-CONSISTENCY] _canonicalize_actor_config() output discarded on registry path

  • Location: src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor.py, lines ~510-530
  • Issue: The code still calls _canonicalize_actor_config() which computes resolved, canonical_blob, and requires_confirmation. Only requires_confirmation is used; canonical_blob and resolved are completely discarded on the registry path. The registry.add() method does its own parsing via ActorConfiguration.load_yaml_text(), which may produce different results than ActorConfiguration.from_blob(). This creates an inconsistency between what the CLI validates and what gets persisted.
  • Required: Either remove the _canonicalize_actor_config() call on the registry path, or ensure the results are used consistently.

6. ⚠️ [TEST] Missing tests for --option and --set-default with new path

  • Location: features/steps/actor_cli_steps.py (multiple step definitions)
  • Issue: The assertions for context.expected_config_blob and context.expected_allow_unsafe were removed from multiple step definitions, but no replacement assertions verify that --option overrides and --set-default flag behavior still work correctly. These flags are now silently dropped.

Minor Issues (Non-blocking)

  • [NAMING] _load_config_text is slightly misleading — it returns both text and parsed dict. Consider _load_config_with_raw_text or _load_config_raw.
  • [PR-METADATA] Missing Type/ label on the PR (required by CONTRIBUTING.md).

Good Aspects

  • ✅ Clear, well-written PR description and commit message
  • ✅ Commit message follows Conventional Changelog format with ISSUES CLOSED: #3426
  • ✅ New Behave feature file is well-structured with 5 meaningful scenarios
  • ✅ New Robot integration tests cover the key integration points
  • ✅ Test step definitions are clean and well-typed
  • ✅ The intent to preserve YAML text is correct and aligns with the v3 persistence model
  • ✅ Single atomic commit with all changes

Recommendation

The simplest fix that preserves all existing behavior while achieving the YAML-first goal would be to keep using registry.upsert_actor() but pass yaml_text=yaml_text to it. The legacy upsert_actor() method already accepts yaml_text, schema_version, and compiled_metadata parameters (see registry.py lines 272-274) and threads them through to _actor_service.upsert_actor(). This approach:

  1. Preserves all CLI flag behavior (--option, --set-default, --unsafe)
  2. Persists the original YAML text in the database
  3. Requires minimal code changes
  4. Doesn't need a new _load_config_text() function — just read the raw text separately

Review Feedback Addressed

Implemented all required changes from the two review comments. Here's what was fixed:

✅ Required Changes Implemented

1. --set-default flag now honoured (was silently ignored)

  • Root cause: registry.add() doesn't accept set_default parameter
  • Fix: Switched back to registry.upsert_actor() with yaml_text=yaml_text threaded through (as suggested in review option (c))
  • set_default=set_default is now correctly passed to registry.upsert_actor()

2. --option overrides now honoured (were silently ignored)

  • Root cause: registry.add() doesn't accept option_overrides parameter
  • Fix: Same as above — registry.upsert_actor() with option_overrides=option_overrides passed through
  • The _canonicalize_actor_config() output (canonical_blob) is now used correctly

3. schema_version threaded through

  • Extracted from parsed config blob and passed as schema_version=schema_version to registry.upsert_actor()

4. DRY violation fixed — _load_config() now delegates to _load_config_text()

  • _load_config() is now a thin wrapper that calls _load_config_text() and discards the raw text
  • No more code duplication

5. Dead code / redundant null check removed

  • Replaced loaded is None check + type: ignore[misc] with a clean assert loaded is not None (unreachable guard)

6. Tests updated for --set-default and --option flags

  • Added Behave scenarios: "Actor add with --set-default sets actor as default" and "Actor add with --option applies option overrides"
  • Added Robot integration tests: set_default_flag and option_override_flag test cases
  • All existing step definitions updated to mock registry.upsert_actor() instead of registry.add()

Verification

  • nox -s lint → ✅ All checks passed
  • nox -s typecheck → ✅ 0 errors, 0 warnings
  • All robot helper tests pass: yaml_text_preserved, set_default_flag, option_override_flag, update_flag

Rebased onto Latest Master + Additional Fixes

Rebased onto latest master (c3b2f597) and resolved merge conflicts. Additional fixes applied during rebase:

Conflict Resolution

  • src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor.py: Master added _compute_actor_impact() function and a --update flag enforcement block (checks if actor already exists before adding). Both are preserved in the rebased commit.
  • The --update enforcement block calls registry.get_actor(name) — updated all test mocks to raise NotFoundError so the "actor not found → proceed with add" path is exercised correctly.

Additional Fixes Applied

  • Updated all when step definitions in actor_add_yaml_first_path_steps.py to pass local/test-actor as the required positional NAME argument (master added this as a required positional arg)
  • Added registry.get_actor.side_effect = NotFoundError("not found") to all relevant test mocks
  • Updated robot helper tests similarly
  • All 4 robot helper tests still pass: yaml_text_preserved, set_default_flag, option_override_flag, update_flag

Verification

  • nox -s lint → ✅ All checks passed
  • nox -s typecheck → ✅ 0 errors, 0 warnings
