Metadata

Branch: fix/validation-attach-named-option-format
Commit Message: fix(validation): replace positional key=value args with --key value named options in validation attach command
Milestone: (none — backlog)
Parent Epic: #392

Background and Context

The agents validation attach command in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/validation.py accepts extra arguments as positional key=value pairs. However, the specification (docs/specification.md lines 9711, 9728, 22438, 22464–22465) clearly shows validation arguments as named CLI options with a -- prefix and space-separated values.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

Per docs/specification.md, the spec shows validation arguments as named CLI options:

$ agents validation attach --project local/api-service local/api-repo local/run-tests --coverage-threshold 90
$ agents validation attach --project local/staging-api local/api-repo local/run-tests --coverage-threshold 70

The spec uses --coverage-threshold 90 as a named option (with -- prefix and space-separated value), not as a positional coverage-threshold=90 pair.

Actual Behavior (from code)

In src/cleveragents/cli/commands/validation.py, the attach command accepts extra arguments as positional key=value pairs:

args: Annotated[
    list[str] | None,
    typer.Argument(help="Additional arguments (key=value pairs)"),
] = None

And parses them as:

for arg in args:
    if "=" not in arg:
        console.print(f"[red]Invalid argument format:[/red] {arg} (expected key=value)")
        raise typer.Abort()
    key, val = arg.split("=", 1)
    extra_args[key] = val

This means users must write coverage-threshold=90 instead of --coverage-threshold 90. The spec examples clearly show --coverage-threshold 90 format.

Code Location

src/cleveragents/cli/commands/validation.py, attach command (lines ~280–340)

Impact

Users following the spec examples will get errors when using --coverage-threshold 90 format. The CLI rejects named options for validation arguments and requires the non-spec key=value positional format instead.

Steps to Reproduce

Register a validation: agents validation add --config my-validation.yaml
Try to attach with spec-format args: agents validation attach my-resource local/my-validation --threshold 90
Expected: attachment created with threshold=90 argument
Actual: CLI error — --threshold is not a recognized option

Subtasks

Write a TDD failing Behave scenario demonstrating that agents validation attach ... --coverage-threshold 90 is rejected (before fix)
Refactor the attach command in validation.py to accept extra validation arguments as named CLI options using --key value format (e.g., via typer.Option or Typer's context_settings with allow_extra_args=True and ignore_unknown_options=True)
Remove the key=value positional argument parsing logic and replace with proper named option parsing that strips the -- prefix and maps to {key: value} dict entries
Ensure backward compatibility is considered or a clear migration note is added
Update Behave unit tests in features/ to cover --key value named option format for validation attach
Update Robot Framework integration tests in robot/ for agents validation attach verifying spec-compliant --key value option format
Verify nox -e typecheck passes with no errors
Verify nox -e lint passes
Verify nox -e coverage_report >= 97%
Run nox (all default sessions), fix any errors

Definition of Done

agents validation attach ... --coverage-threshold 90 works as shown in the spec examples
The attach command no longer accepts or requires key=value positional argument format
Named options with -- prefix and space-separated values are correctly parsed and stored as {key: value} entries
All Behave unit test scenarios for validation attach pass
All Robot Framework integration tests for agents validation attach pass
A Git commit is created where the first line of the commit message matches the Commit Message in Metadata exactly, followed by a blank line, then additional lines providing relevant details about the implementation
The commit is pushed to the remote on the branch matching the Branch in Metadata exactly
The commit is submitted as a pull request to master, reviewed, and merged before this issue is marked done
All nox stages pass
Coverage >= 97%

Backlog note: This issue was discovered during autonomous operation
on milestone v3.2.0. It does not block milestone completion and has been
placed in the backlog for human review and future milestone assignment.
