Summary

This PR fixes a critical gap in PlanExecutor where subplan spawning was entirely absent from the Execute phase — meaning any plan that recorded subplan_spawn or subplan_parallel_spawn decisions during Strategize would silently skip child plan creation and execution. The fix wires SubplanService and SubplanExecutionService into PlanExecutor, fully realising the hierarchical plan execution model defined in the specification.

Changes

  • Injected SubplanService and SubplanExecutionService as optional constructor parameters into PlanExecutor.__init__(). Both default to None to preserve full backward compatibility with all existing callers and tests that do not use subplan functionality.

  • Implemented _spawn_subplans() helper that queries recorded spawn decisions via SubplanService.get_spawn_decisions() and calls SubplanService.spawn() for each decision, creating the child plan records. When no spawn decisions are present, the method is a no-op.

  • Implemented _execute_subplans() helper that calls SubplanExecutionService.execute_all(), correctly routing sequential subplan_spawn decisions through ordered execution and subplan_parallel_spawn groups through concurrent execution.

  • Implemented _apply_subplan_results_to_plan() to propagate child plan failure information back to the parent plan. When one or more child plans fail, the parent plan's error_details field is annotated with a failed_subplan_ids list so failures are surfaced rather than silently swallowed.

  • Wired _spawn_subplans() and _execute_subplans() into both execute paths_run_execute_with_runtime() and _run_execute_with_stub() — so that subplan spawning occurs after actor completion regardless of whether a live runtime or a test stub is in use.

  • Exposed subplan_service and subplan_execution_service properties on PlanExecutor for introspection and testability.

  • Added Behave feature file with 6 scenarios covering: sequential subplan_spawn realisation, concurrent subplan_parallel_spawn group execution, no-op behaviour when no spawn decisions are recorded, and parent plan failure tracking when a child plan fails.

  • Added Robot Framework integration test suite with 6 test cases validating end-to-end subplan spawning.

Design Decisions

  • Optional service injection (backward compatibility): Both services are injected as optional parameters (None by default). When either is absent, all spawning logic is skipped entirely.

  • No-op on empty spawn decisions: _spawn_subplans() returns early when no spawn decisions are found.

  • Failure annotation rather than immediate abort: When child plans fail, the parent plan's error_details is annotated with failed_subplan_ids rather than immediately raising an exception.

  • Shared spawning logic across runtime and stub paths: Both _run_execute_with_runtime() and _run_execute_with_stub() delegate to the same helpers.

Testing

  • Unit tests (Behave): 6 scenarios — all pass
  • Integration tests (Robot Framework): 6 test cases — all pass
  • Lint: All checks pass
  • Typecheck: 0 errors

Closes #3561

## Summary This PR fixes a critical gap in `PlanExecutor` where subplan spawning was entirely absent from the Execute phase — meaning any plan that recorded `subplan_spawn` or `subplan_parallel_spawn` decisions during Strategize would silently skip child plan creation and execution. The fix wires `SubplanService` and `SubplanExecutionService` into `PlanExecutor`, fully realising the hierarchical plan execution model defined in the specification. ## Changes - **Injected `SubplanService` and `SubplanExecutionService` as optional constructor parameters** into `PlanExecutor.__init__()`. Both default to `None` to preserve full backward compatibility with all existing callers and tests that do not use subplan functionality. - **Implemented `_spawn_subplans()` helper** that queries recorded spawn decisions via `SubplanService.get_spawn_decisions()` and calls `SubplanService.spawn()` for each decision, creating the child plan records. When no spawn decisions are present, the method is a no-op. - **Implemented `_execute_subplans()` helper** that calls `SubplanExecutionService.execute_all()`, correctly routing sequential `subplan_spawn` decisions through ordered execution and `subplan_parallel_spawn` groups through concurrent execution. - **Implemented `_apply_subplan_results_to_plan()`** to propagate child plan failure information back to the parent plan.

Implemented optional SubplanService and SubplanExecutionService wiring in PlanExecutor.__init__() (None = no-op).
- Added _spawn_subplans() helper:
  - Queries spawn decisions via SubplanService.get_spawn_decisions() and calls SubplanService.spawn() for each decision.
  - No-ops when there are no spawn decisions.
- Added _execute_subplans() helper:
  - Delegates to SubplanExecutionService.execute_all() to run spawned subplans, handling both sequential and parallel groups as dictated by decisions.
- Added _apply_subplan_results_to_plan() helper:
  - Updates parent plan status tracking when child subplans fail.
  - Annotates error_details with failed_subplan_ids when appropriate.
- Integrated spawning and execution into existing flow:
  - Called _spawn_subplans() and _execute_subplans() from both _run_execute_with_runtime() and _run_execute_with_stub() after actor completion.
- Introduced PlanExecutor properties:
  - subplan_service and subplan_execution_service for external wiring and testability.
- Added tests and scenarios:
  - Behave feature file with 6 scenarios covering subplan_spawn, subplan_parallel_spawn, no-op, and failure tracking.
  - Robot Framework integration test suite with 6 end-to-end subplan spawning test cases.

Key design decisions
- Optional services (None = no-op) to maintain backward compatibility with existing deployments.
- Subplan spawning is a no-op when no spawn decisions exist, avoiding unnecessary work.
- Parent plan error_details is annotated with failed_subplan_ids when a child subplan fails to aid debugging and traceability.
- Both runtime and stub execute paths share the same spawning logic to ensure consistent behavior across execution modes.

Code Review — PR #3619

Focus Areas: specification-compliance, test-coverage-quality, error-handling-patterns

VERDICT: APPROVE

Overview

This PR correctly wires SubplanService and SubplanExecutionService into PlanExecutor, realising the hierarchical plan execution model defined in the specification. The implementation is well-designed with proper backward compatibility.

Specification Compliance

  • Subplan spawning: _spawn_subplans() correctly queries SubplanService.get_spawn_decisions() and calls SubplanService.spawn() for each decision — matches the spec's hierarchical plan model.
  • Sequential vs parallel execution: _execute_subplans() correctly routes subplan_spawn through ordered execution and subplan_parallel_spawn groups through concurrent execution.
  • Failure propagation: _apply_subplan_results_to_plan() annotates parent plan's error_details with failed_subplan_ids — correct fail-safe behavior.
  • Commit message: fix(plan-executor): wire SubplanService and SubplanExecutionService into Execute phase — follows Conventional Changelog format
  • Closing keyword: Closes #3561
  • Type label: Type/Bug
  • Milestone: v3.4.0

Test Coverage Quality

  • 6 Behave scenarios: sequential spawn, parallel spawn, no-op (no decisions), parent failure tracking — comprehensive coverage
  • 6 Robot Framework integration tests: end-to-end subplan spawning validation
  • Both execute paths covered: _run_execute_with_runtime() and _run_execute_with_stub() both wired

Error Handling Patterns

  • Optional service injection: Both services default to None — when absent, all spawning logic is skipped. Correct fail-safe pattern.
  • No-op on empty decisions: _spawn_subplans() returns early when no spawn decisions found — correct.
  • Failure annotation rather than immediate abort: Parent plan's error_details annotated with failed_subplan_ids — allows caller to inspect failures without masking the original error.
  • Backward compatibility: All existing callers unaffected (both services default to None).

Quality Gates

  • Lint: All checks pass
  • Typecheck: 0 errors
  • Unit tests: 6 scenarios — all pass
  • Integration tests: 6 test cases — all pass

Non-blocking Observations

  1. Thread safety of concurrent subplan execution: _execute_subplans() routes subplan_parallel_spawn through concurrent execution. Verify SubplanExecutionService.execute_all() is thread-safe for concurrent invocations.
  2. Checkpoint timing for subplan spawn: If a checkpoint fires before subplan spawn completes, the checkpoint may capture an inconsistent state. Consider documenting this as a known limitation.

This PR is ready to merge.
