Summary
This PR fixes the
agents validation attachcommand to use the spec-required--key valuenamed option format for extra arguments instead of the previously implemented positionalkey=valueformat. This brings the CLI into compliance withdocs/specification.mdand resolves a UAT-identified regression.Changes
src/cleveragents/cli/commands/validation.py: Refactored theattachsubcommand to accept arbitrary named options via Typer'sContextmechanism (context_settings={"allow_extra_args": True, "ignore_unknown_options": True}). Removed the old positionalargsparameter. Added a parsing pass overctx.argsthat converts--coverage-threshold 90style tokens into a{"coverage_threshold": "90"}dict (hyphens → underscores). Positionalkey=valuetokens are now explicitly rejected with a descriptive error message pointing users to the correct format.features/tool_cli.feature: Updated the existing "Attach validation with extra args" scenario to exercise the new--key valueformat, replacing the oldkey=valuepositional syntax.features/steps/tool_cli_steps.py: Added a new step definitionI run validation CLI attach with named optionthat drives the--key valueinvocation path, keeping the existing positional-format step intact for the rejection test.features/steps/validation_attach_type_guard_steps.py: Added four new step definitions covering: single named option, multiple named options, explicit rejection of positionalkey=valueformat, and rejection of a dangling--keyoption with no following value.features/validation_attach_named_options.feature: New feature file containing 6 BDD scenarios that together provide full coverage of the spec-compliant named option behaviour.features/steps/tdd_cli_incomplete_subcommand_registration_steps.py: Fixed a pre-existingCliRunner(mix_stderr=False)call that used an unsupported keyword argument.Design Decisions
Typer Context over custom argument parsing: Using
context_settings={"allow_extra_args": True, "ignore_unknown_options": True}with atyper.Contextparameter is the idiomatic Typer/Click approach for accepting an open-ended set of named options.Hyphen-to-underscore normalisation: CLI convention uses hyphens in option names (
--coverage-threshold) while Python identifiers use underscores. The parsing layer normalises the stripped key (coverage-threshold→coverage_threshold).Explicit positional rejection: Rather than silently ignoring or misinterpreting
key=valuetokens, the command raises an error with a message that names the offending token and shows the correct alternative.Testing
Closes #3683
