Bug Report

What Was Tested

The ActorRegistry.add() method was analyzed against the spec's actor YAML format.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

Per docs/specification.md (lines 20141-20207), the spec's actor YAML format uses an actors: map with nested config: blocks:

name: local/my-workflow

cleveragents:
  version: "3.0"
  default_actor: workflow_controller

actors:
  my_assistant:
    type: llm
    config:
      actor: openai/gpt-4  # Combined provider/model format
      temperature: 0.7
      system_prompt: |
        You are a helpful assistant.
    skills:
      - local/file-ops

The spec's JSON Schema (lines 31156-31255) requires:

  • Top-level name field
  • Either actors or agents map (oneOf)
  • Provider/model inside actors.<name>.config.actor or actors.<name>.config.provider + actors.<name>.config.model

There are no top-level provider or model fields in the spec's actor YAML format.

Actual Behavior

The ActorRegistry.add() method in src/cleveragents/actor/registry.py (lines 208-220) looks for provider and model at the top level of the YAML:

blob = ActorConfiguration.load_yaml_text(yaml_text)
name_raw: str = blob.get("name", "")
if not name_raw:
    raise ValidationError("Actor YAML must include a 'name' field.")

name = self._ensure_namespaced(name_raw)
provider_raw = blob.get("provider") or blob.get("provider_type", "")
model_raw = blob.get("model") or blob.get("model_id", "")

if not provider_raw or not model_raw:
    raise ValidationError(
        "Actor YAML must include 'provider' and 'model' fields."
    )

This means a spec-compliant actor YAML like:

name: local/my-assistant
actors:
  my_assistant:
    type: llm
    config:
      actor: openai/gpt-4

Would be rejected with "Actor YAML must include 'provider' and 'model' fields." because provider and model are nested inside actors.my_assistant.config, not at the top level.

The ActorConfiguration._extract_v2_actor() method (lines 289-330) does extract provider/model from the agents: map, but registry.add() doesn't use ActorConfiguration.from_blob() — it manually extracts from the blob.

Code Location

  • src/cleveragents/actor/registry.py lines 208-220 (add method)
  • src/cleveragents/actor/config.py lines 289-330 (_extract_v2_actor — correctly handles nested format but not used by add())

Steps to Reproduce

from cleveragents.actor.registry import ActorRegistry

yaml_text = """
name: local/my-assistant
actors:
  my_assistant:
    type: llm
    config:
      actor: openai/gpt-4
      system_prompt: "You are helpful."
"""

# This should work per spec but raises ValidationError:
# "Actor YAML must include 'provider' and 'model' fields."
registry.add(yaml_text)

Impact

Users following the spec's documented actor YAML format cannot register actors via agents actor add --config <file> because the registry requires a non-spec top-level format. Only the legacy v2 format with top-level provider/model fields works.

Implementation Notes

Root Cause Analysis

Three issues combined to cause the rejection of spec-compliant YAML:

  1. ActorConfiguration._extract_v2_actor() only handled the agents: map key, not the spec-canonical actors: key.
  2. ActorRegistry.add() manually extracted provider/model from the top level of the parsed blob instead of delegating to _extract_v2_actor(), which already understands nested config: blocks.
  3. The combined actor field format (e.g. actor: openai/gpt-4) specified in the spec was not supported at all.

Changes Made

src/cleveragents/actor/config.py

  • _extract_v2_actor(): Now checks both actors: (spec-canonical, preferred) and agents: (legacy) map keys. Added support for the combined actor field format (e.g. "openai/gpt-4" → provider=openai, model=gpt-4). Explicit provider/model fields take precedence over the combined actor field. The graph descriptor now correctly uses the actual map key ("actors" or "agents") instead of always storing "agents".
  • _extract_v2_options(): Updated to also check the actors: key alongside agents:, mirroring the change in _extract_v2_actor().

src/cleveragents/actor/registry.py

  • add(): After attempting top-level provider/model extraction, the method now falls back to ActorConfiguration._extract_v2_actor() to resolve provider/model from nested actors:/agents: map formats. This ensures spec-compliant YAML is accepted without breaking backward compatibility for top-level or v3 formats.

Design Decisions

  • Preference order: actors: takes precedence over agents: when both are present, since actors: is the spec-canonical key.
  • Combined actor field: Only recognized when it contains a / separator. Values without a slash (e.g. actor: "gpt-4") are ignored since they can't be split into provider + model.
  • Explicit fields win: If both provider and actor are present in the config block, the explicit provider field wins over the combined actor field — same for model.
  • No changes to v3 path: v3 YAML validation via ActorConfigSchema remains unchanged; the fix only affects the v2/spec nested extraction path.

Quality Gate Results

Gate Result

  • Spec-compliant actors: map with combined actor field
  • Spec-compliant actors: map with separate provider/model
  • Legacy agents: map backward compatibility
  • Top-level provider/model backward compatibility
  • Rejection of YAML without provider/model anywhere
  • Direct _extract_v2_actor() unit tests for actors:, agents:, preference, edge cases
  • Direct _extract_v2_options() unit test for actors: map

Review findings: 0 Critical / 4 Major / 8 Minor / 5 Nit

  • M1: or vs is not None inconsistency in graph descriptor resolution (registry.py line 296 uses or instead of is not None, contradicting PR description)
  • M2: Missing tests for unsafe coercion edge cases (unsafe: "no", unsafe: "yes", unsafe: 1)
  • M3: Missing integration test for graph legacy key fallback in registry.add()
  • M4: Missing integration test for actors: {} blocking behavior through registry.add()

Remaining Issues (After 5 Cycles)

Major (blocking):

  2. Missing tests for unsafe coercion edge cases (unsafe: "no" → False, unsafe: "yes" → False, unsafe: 1 → True)
  3. Missing integration test for legacy graph key fallback in registry.add()
  4. Missing integration test for actors: {} blocking agents: fallback through registry.add()

Minor (non-blocking):

  • Missing provider_type/model_id alias tests in nested config
  • _extract_v2_options({}) empty dict test missing
  • Weak compiled_metadata assertion (key only, not value)
  • Shallow copy of blob shares nested mutable references (acknowledged deferred)
  • unsafe: 1.0 float accepted due to Python numeric equality (fail-safe direction)
  • Duplicate _StubActorService class (acknowledged deferred)

Deferred (follow-up tickets recommended):

  • reactive/config_parser.py opposite preference order for actors/agents
  • Graph descriptor omits some top-level spec keys
  • from_blob() graph resolution alignment with add()
  • cleveragents.unsafe metadata block flag not consulted during unsafe detection

Self-QA Implementation Notes (Cycle 6) — Final

Cycle 6

Review findings from Cycle 5 (addressed): 0 Critical / 4 Major / 8 Minor / 5 Nit

Fixes applied:

  • M1: Fixed or vs is not None inconsistency in graph descriptor resolution — replaced blob.get("graph_descriptor") or blob.get("graph") with explicit is not None checks: top_graph_raw = blob.get("graph_descriptor"); top_graph = top_graph_raw if top_graph_raw is not None else blob.get("graph")
  • M2: Added 4 unsafe coercion edge case tests: unsafe: "no" → False, unsafe: "yes" → False, unsafe: 1 → True (direct _extract_v2_actor calls), plus integration test for unsafe: 1 through registry.add()
  • M3: Added integration test for legacy graph key fallback in registry.add() — passes YAML with graph: key (not graph_descriptor:), asserts registered actor's graph descriptor contains expected key
  • M4: Added integration test for actors: {} blocking agents: fallback through registry.add() — passes YAML with actors: {} and valid agents: map but no top-level provider, asserts ValidationError containing "provider"
  • m1: Added provider_type/model_id alias tests in nested config block
  • m2: Added code comment documenting that graph descriptor is always returned when valid config block found
  • m3: Expanded comment about non-None falsy values blocking agents: fallback
  • m4: Added _extract_v2_options({}) empty dict test
  • m5: Added value assertion for compiled_metadata (not just key existence)
  • m7: Added comments documenting unsafe: 1.0 float coercion behavior

Cycle 6 review verdict: Approve

The PR is ready to merge. All quality gates pass:

  • nox -e lint
  • nox -e typecheck (0 errors)
  • nox -e unit_tests (15,320 scenarios passed, 55/55 in our feature file)
  • nox -e integration_tests (1,986 tests passed)
  • nox -e coverage_report (97.2%)

Remaining Minor Issues (Non-blocking)

  • add() does not call _extract_v2_options() — options from nested config not flattened (asymmetry with from_blob())
  • Missing type guard on graph_descriptor before upsert_actor() call
  • Test coverage gaps for unsafe: 0, unsafe: 2, unsafe: 1.0, actors: false (documented behaviors)
  • Commit message body scenario count (45 vs actual 55)
  • _extract_v2_options() break lacks # first entry only comment
  • Missing test for multi-slash combined actor field (e.g. "openai/gpt-4/extra")
  • Duplicate _StubActorService class across 3 step files → extract to features/mocks/
  • Shallow copy of blob in add()copy.deepcopy(blob) for defensive programming
  • from_blob() graph resolution uses or while add() uses is not None → align from_blob()
  • reactive/config_parser.py opposite preference order for actors/agents
  • Graph descriptor omits some top-level spec keys

Implementation Notes — Review Fix Round (commit 616e5c32)

Addressing code review feedback from @CoreRasurae on PR #10796 (review 49667d90).

Fixes Applied

H1 — Multi-actor YAML guard (registry.py:add()):
Added a guard that rejects YAML with >1 entry in the actors:/agents: map before any extraction occurs. This eliminates the spec-violating unsafe bypass where later actors' unsafe: true flags were silently ignored. Chose Option A (reject) over Option B (scan all) because add() is fundamentally single-actor — provider/model extraction also only returns the first entry's values. Updated the _extract_v2_actor() LIMITATION comment to reflect the new behavior.

M1 — Nested options extraction (registry.py:add()):
Added _extract_v2_options() call so that options nested inside actors.<name>.config.options are extracted and merged into config_blob via setdefault. This closes the behavioral asymmetry with from_blob() which already calls _extract_v2_options() internally.

Q1 — Break comment (config.py:_extract_v2_options()):
Added # first entry only comment on the bare break statement, matching the style already used in _extract_v2_actor().

Q3 — Docstring clarification (registry.py:add()):
Documented that unsafe and allow_unsafe have identical effect; allow_unsafe exists for API consistency with upsert_actor(). Added .. note:: blocks for the single-actor restriction and nested extraction behavior.

L1 — Multiple slashes test (actor_registry_spec_yaml.feature):
Added scenario verifying split("/", 1) on "openai/gpt-4/extra"provider="openai", model="gpt-4/extra".

L2 — actors: null integration test (actor_registry_spec_yaml.feature):
Added scenario verifying that actors: null with a valid agents: map correctly falls back through registry.add().

Follow-up Issues Filed

  • #10831: Align from_blob() graph_descriptor resolution to use is not None checks (M2)
  • #10832: Deduplicate _StubActorService across step files (Q2)

Self-QA Implementation Notes (Cycles 1–4)

PR #10796 underwent 4 self-QA review/fix cycles before reaching approval. All cycles were conducted agent-to-agent (no Forgejo reviews posted during the loop). This note consolidates all findings and fixes.


Cycle 1

Review findings (0C / 3M / 14m / 5n):

Major:

  • T1: Missing test for unsafe: 1.0 (float) — explicitly documented behavior untested
  • T2: Missing test for unsafe: 2 (integer > 1) — intentional behavioral change from old bool() coercion untested
  • T3: Missing test for unsafe: 0 (integer zero) through the coercion path

Minor:

  • S1: add() did not include unsafe/allow_unsafe parameters in effective_unsafe — spec deviation
  • S2: CHANGELOG entry omitted multi-actor rejection guard, options preservation, and coercion fix
  • B1: if v2_options: used truthiness instead of is not None — silently dropped options: {}
  • P1: _extract_v2_options() returned a reference to the nested dict, not a copy
  • P2: setdefault("options", v2_options) silently discarded nested options when top-level options was a non-dict value
  • Q1: Commit message body had stale scenario count ("45" instead of actual count)
  • Q3: Comment in registry.py referenced wrong variable name (unsafe_raw instead of top_unsafe_raw)
  • T4–T9: Missing _extract_v2_options tests for non-dict entry, missing config block, actors: preference; missing registry.add() tests for graph_descriptor key, provider_type/model_id aliases, and top-level unsafe: "yes"/"no" string coercion

Nits:

  • S3: provider_type/model_id aliases accepted in nested config: block beyond spec — no comment
  • S4: Multi-actor guard duplicated actors/agents resolution logic without cross-reference
  • B3: Double evaluation of blob.get("actors") in multi-actor guard
  • Q5: _StubActorService duplication had no TODO(#10832) comment
  • Q6: Feature file section comment label (M2) was misleading

Fixes applied:

  • Added 11 new test scenarios (T1–T9, T4–T6) covering unsafe coercion edge values, _extract_v2_options parity, graph_descriptor key, provider_type/model_id aliases, and string unsafe coercion
  • Fixed effective_unsafe to include unsafe or allow_unsafe per spec rule
  • Changed if v2_options: to if v2_options is not None: for consistency
  • _extract_v2_options() now returns dict(options) (shallow copy)
  • Added isinstance check before setdefault to handle non-dict top-level options
  • Updated CHANGELOG with multi-actor rejection, options preservation, and coercion fix
  • Fixed comment variable name (unsafe_rawtop_unsafe_raw)
  • Added TODO(#10832) comment to _StubActorService
  • Replaced misleading (M2) label with (unsafe coercion) in feature file
  • Cached actors_raw to avoid double evaluation in multi-actor guard
  • Added cross-reference comment in multi-actor guard

Cycle 2

Review findings (0C / 1M / 3m / 4n):

Major:

  • MAJ-1: Dead setdefault no-op in M1 fix — else branch was a guaranteed no-op when existing_options was already a dict, silently discarding nested options when both top-level and nested options coexisted

Minor:

  • MIN-1: Graph descriptor stored mutable reference to original actors map (shallow copy gap)
  • MIN-2: Unrelated .opencode/package-lock.json version bump bundled in the commit
  • MIN-3: Missing test for multi-actor guard via agents: fallback path

Nits:

  • NIT-1: M1 test scenario only asserted one of two nested option keys
  • NIT-2: No test for _extract_v2_options() shallow copy mutation isolation
  • NIT-3: Inconsistent (M2) section label in step file (not updated to match feature file)
  • NIT-4: Triple lookup of actors/agents map — extracted _resolve_actors_map() helper

Fixes applied:

  • Replaced dead setdefault with proper merge semantics matching from_blob(): merged = dict(v2_options); merged.update(existing_options) (top-level overrides nested)
  • Added test scenario for merged options (both sources coexist)
  • Changed map_key: map_dict to map_key: dict(map_dict) in graph descriptor construction
  • Reverted .opencode/package-lock.json to master version
  • Added scenario for multi-actor rejection via agents: fallback when actors: null
  • Added max_tokens assertion to nested options scenario
  • Added shallow copy mutation isolation test
  • Fixed (M2)(unsafe coercion) in step file section comment
  • Extracted _resolve_actors_map() static helper, eliminating triplicated resolution logic

Cycle 3

Review findings (0C / 1M / 9m / 5n):

Major:

  • MAJ-1: allow_unsafe=True on a non-unsafe actor incorrectly stored the actor as unsafe=True — introduced by Cycle 2's fix that ORed allow_unsafe into effective_unsafe. allow_unsafe is a permission flag ("I permit unsafe actors"), not an assertion ("this actor IS unsafe")

Minor:

  • MIN-1: provider/model alias resolution in _extract_v2_actor() used or (falsy check) instead of is not None — inconsistent with the pattern deliberately chosen throughout this PR
  • MIN-2: Missing test for allow_unsafe=True with non-unsafe YAML (the gap that allowed MAJ-1 to go undetected)
  • MIN-3: Missing test for top-level unsafe: 1 (integer) through registry.add()
  • MIN-4: Graph descriptor additional keys loop (routes, merges, templates, cleveragents) had zero test coverage
  • MIN-5: Missing test for top-level options as non-dict value in registry.add() merge logic
  • MIN-6: Commit message body scenario count stale ("69" instead of "72")
  • MIN-7: Shallow copy of map_dict in graph descriptor leaves nested mutable references shared (acknowledged deferred)
  • MIN-8: add() stores full raw blob without normalization (pre-existing, acknowledged deferred)
  • MIN-9: Ruff format divergence — unnecessary parentheses in step file

Nits:

  • NIT-1: Redundant scenario was a strict subset of another
  • NIT-2: No test verifying config_blob receives source: "yaml" default
  • NIT-3: _resolve_actors_map() called three times (acknowledged deferred)
  • NIT-4: _StubActorService divergence tracked in #10832
  • NIT-5: map_key return type could use Literal["actors", "agents"]

Fixes applied:

  • Separated config_is_unsafe (assertion: includes unsafe param but NOT allow_unsafe) from gate check (permission: includes both unsafe and allow_unsafe). Updated docstring to clarify semantic distinction
  • Changed provider/model alias resolution to is not None pattern in _extract_v2_actor()
  • Added 7 new test scenarios: allow_unsafe=True on non-unsafe YAML, top-level unsafe: 1 (rejection + acceptance), graph descriptor routes key, non-dict top-level options, config_blob source: "yaml" default, graph descriptor agent key value
  • Differentiated redundant scenario to test agent key value
  • Updated commit message body to "78 Behave scenarios"
  • Ran ruff format to remove unnecessary parentheses
  • Changed _resolve_actors_map() return type to Literal["actors", "agents"]
  • Documented MIN-7 and MIN-8 as known limitations in PR description Deferred Items

Remaining Issues (after Cycle 4 approval)

The Cycle 4 review approved the PR with 6 minor and 10 nit findings — none blocking. These are low-risk consistency and coverage gaps:

  • M1: No TODO(#10831) code comment in from_blob() for the deferred or vs is not None inconsistency
  • M2: Top-level provider/model resolution in add() still uses or instead of is not None
  • M3: Inconsistent falsy-check semantics between alias resolution (is not None) and combined actor field (not) in _extract_v2_actor()
  • M4: config_blob["unsafe"] may diverge from effective_unsafe stored on the Actor (pre-existing pattern)
  • M5: Missing test for provider vs provider_type precedence when both present in nested config
  • M6: Missing test for _extract_v2_options with non-dict options value in nested config

These are deferred to follow-up issues or future cleanup. The core fix for #4466 is correct, spec-compliant, and thoroughly tested with 78 Behave scenarios.

Implementation Note — M4–M9 Test Gaps Addressed (commit 7cd99955)

Following the additional review findings from @CoreRasurae (Cycles 7–8), 7 new Behave scenarios were added to features/actor_registry_spec_yaml.feature to close test gaps M4–M9. The feature file now has 85 scenarios (up from 78).

Scenarios added

Ref Scenario Approach
M4 registry.add() with update=True creates actor when it doesn't exist Calls add(yaml_text, update=True) on a non-existent actor — verifies it succeeds. The existence check in add() is only triggered when update=False, so this exercises the skip-check path.
M5 registry.add() with v3 TOOL actor without provider/model raises an error from upsert_actor Uses a YAML with type: tool (v3) but no provider/model. add() passes the v3 validation check, but upsert_actor() creates Actor(provider="", model="") which fails Pydantic's min_length=1 constraint on both fields. Confirms the error boundary is at upsert_actor(), not at add().
M6 registry.add() propagates exception raised by upsert_actor Temporarily replaces upsert_actor on the stub with a function that raises RuntimeError("upsert_actor service unavailable"), then calls add() and verifies the RuntimeError propagates unmodified. Tests exception transparency of add().
M7 registry.add() with actors: false blocks agents fallback and raises provider error YAML has actors: false and a valid agents: map. Verifies ValidationError with "provider" is raised — actors: false is non-null so the agents: fallback is blocked by _resolve_actors_map() design.
M8 registry.add() with non-dict compiled_metadata raises a Pydantic validation error Passes compiled_metadata="not-a-dict" to add(). Actor model has `compiled_metadata: dict[str, Any]
M9a registry.add() with provider: 0 falls through to provider_type fallback YAML provider: 0 — integer zero short-circuits blob.get("provider") or blob.get("provider_type", "") and falls to provider_type, which is empty, so ValidationError with "provider" is raised. Confirms or-based resolution handles the integer zero edge case correctly.
M9b registry.add() with provider: 0 and valid provider_type uses provider_type Same as M9a but adds provider_type: fallback-provider. Verifies or-based resolution correctly picks up provider_type when provider: 0.

## Implementation Note — M4–M9 Test Gaps Addressed (commit `7cd99955`) Following the additional review findings from @CoreRasurae (Cycles 7–8), 7 new Behave scenarios were added to `features/actor_registry_spec_yaml.feature` to close test gaps M4–M9. The feature file now has **85 scenarios** (up from 78). ### Scenarios added | Ref | Scenario | Approach | |-----|----------|----------| | **M4** | `registry.add() with update=True creates actor when it doesn't exist` | Calls `add(yaml_text, update=True)` on a non-existent actor — verifies it succeeds. The existence check in `add()` is only triggered when `update=False`, so this exercises the skip-check path. | | **M5** | `registry.add() with v3 TOOL actor without provider/model raises an error from upsert_actor` | Uses a YAML with `type: tool` (v3) but no provider/model. `add()` passes the v3 validation check, but `upsert_actor()` creates `Actor(provider="", model="")` which fails Pydantic's `min_length=1` constraint on both fields. Confirms the error boundary is at `upsert_actor()`, not at `add()`. | | **M6** | `registry.add() propagates exception raised by upsert_actor` | Temporarily replaces `upsert_actor` on the stub with a function that raises `RuntimeError("upsert_actor service unavailable")`, then calls `add()` and verifies the `RuntimeError` propagates unmodified. Tests exception transparency of `add()`. | | **M7** | `registry.add() with actors: false blocks agents fallback and raises provider error` | YAML has `actors: false` and a valid `agents:` map. Verifies `ValidationError` with "provider" is raised — `actors: false` is non-null so the `agents:` fallback is blocked by `_resolve_actors_map()` design. | | **M8** | `registry.add() with non-dict compiled_metadata raises a Pydantic validation error` | Passes `compiled_metadata="not-a-dict"` to `add()`. `Actor` model has `compiled_metadata: dict[str, Any] | None` with Pydantic `validate_assignment=True`, so a string value raises `pydantic.ValidationError`. | | **M9a** | `registry.add() with provider: 0 falls through to provider_type fallback` | YAML `provider: 0` — integer zero short-circuits `blob.get("provider") or blob.get("provider_type", "")` and falls to `provider_type`, which is empty, so `ValidationError` with "provider" is raised. Confirms `or`-based resolution handles the integer zero edge case correctly. | | **M9b** | `registry.add() with provider: 0 and valid provider_type uses provider_type` | Same as M9a but adds `provider_type: fallback-provider`. Verifies `or`-based resolution correctly picks up `provider_type` when `provider: 0`. | ### Quality gates post-amendment | Gate | Result | |------|--------| | `nox -e lint` | ✅ Pass (0 violations) | | `nox -e unit_tests` | ✅ 15,497 scenarios passed (0 failed, 4 skipped) | | `nox -e coverage_report` | ✅ 97% (threshold 97%) | The amended commit has been force-pushed to the PR branch.

Implementation Note — Improved CI failure reporting in run_behave_parallel.py (commit d5119ebc)

Modified scripts/run_behave_parallel.py to print a consolidated Failing scenarios: / Errored scenarios: block in the Overall summary section whenever any scenario fails.

Problem

When CI / unit_tests fails, the per-worker stdout is replayed (under --- Worker N stdout (chunk failed) --- headers), but those replays are interleaved and not easy to scan. There was no single authoritative list of which exact scenarios failed across all workers.

Solution

Added "failing_scenarios" and "errored_scenarios" string lists to the Summary dict, populated by _extract_summary() and merged by _merge_summaries(). The _print_overall_summary() function now appends these lists to the end of the overall summary in behave's standard format:

Failing scenarios:
  features/actor/registry.feature:42  My failing scenario
  features/other/feature.feature:88   Another failing one

Errored scenarios:
  features/some/feature.feature:15  Errored scenario

The entries are deduplicated (in case multiple workers report the same scenario) and sorted for deterministic output. The format exactly matches what behave's own runner prints, so the rui-find-failing-unit-tests skill's grep approach works directly on CI logs:

awk '/^(Failing|Errored) scenarios:/{b=1} b && /^  /{print} b && !/^  /{b=0}' ci_log.txt

Changes

  • scripts/run_behave_parallel.py:
    • _empty_summary(): Added "failing_scenarios": [] and "errored_scenarios": [] keys
    • _scenario_ref() (new): Formats " features/path:LINE Name" from a scenario object
    • _extract_summary(): Appends scenario refs to failing_scenarios / errored_scenarios when status is failed or neither passed/skipped/failed (i.e., errored/undefined)
    • _merge_summaries(): Extends the lists from each worker's summary
    • _print_overall_summary(): Prints the consolidated blocks after the counts when non-empty

Behaviour when all tests pass

No Failing scenarios: or Errored scenarios: block appears — the output is identical to before. The addition is zero-cost on passing runs.

## Implementation Note — Improved CI failure reporting in `run_behave_parallel.py` (commit `d5119ebc`) Modified `scripts/run_behave_parallel.py` to print a consolidated `Failing scenarios:` / `Errored scenarios:` block in the **Overall summary** section whenever any scenario fails. ### Problem When `CI / unit_tests` fails, the per-worker stdout is replayed (under `--- Worker N stdout (chunk failed) ---` headers), but those replays are interleaved and not easy to scan.

Implementation Note — Fix tui_prompt_textarea parallel test failure (commit f829e689)

Root cause

All 6 scenarios in features/tui_prompt_textarea.feature were erroring in CI with 32 processes:

ImportError: module cleveragents.tui.widgets.prompt not in sys.modules

at importlib.reload(prompt_mod) in _install_mock_textual.

The error is misleading. Python 3.13's importlib.reload actually checks:

if sys.modules.get(name) is not module:   # ← "is not", not "not in"
    raise ImportError(f"module {name} not in sys.modules", ...)

The module was in sys.modules — but it was a different object from prompt_mod.

Why two objects exist

tui_first_run.feature runs in the same worker chunk before tui_prompt_textarea.feature. Its _build_first_run_app() helper calls _reload_tui_modules(), which deletes all cleveragents.tui.* entries from sys.modules and re-imports them with a mock textual. This creates fresh module objects (Module_B) for everything under cleveragents.tui.*.

After tui_first_run finishes, sys.modules["cleveragents.tui.widgets.prompt"] = Module_B. The cleveragents.tui.widgets package's .prompt attribute also points to Module_B.

However, tui_prompt_textarea's _install_mock_textual was using:

import cleveragents.tui.widgets.prompt as prompt_mod

For dotted import a.b.c as mod statements, CPython walks parent-package attributes (i.e., a.b.c) rather than looking up sys.modules["a.b.c"] directly. If the parent package's .prompt attribute ever points to a stale module object (Module_A created before _reload_tui_modules nuked everything), prompt_mod = Module_A while sys.modules["...prompt"] = Module_B, causing reload(prompt_mod) to raise.

Fix

Replace the stale-reference import with importlib.import_module(), which always returns sys.modules[name]:

# Before (stale attribute traversal):
import cleveragents.tui.widgets.prompt as prompt_mod

# After (always returns sys.modules["cleveragents.tui.widgets.prompt"]):
prompt_mod = importlib.import_module("cleveragents.tui.widgets.prompt")

Applied to three locations in features/steps/tui_prompt_textarea_steps.py:

  • _install_mock_textual() — extracts via new _get_prompt_mod() helper
  • _restore_modules() — cleanup after each scenario
  • step_load_prompt_without_textual() / its restore closure — the fallback scenario

Verification

The reproducer behave-parallel --processes 1 tui_first_run.feature tui_prompt_textarea.feature went from 6 errored → 0 errored. Full suite with 32 processes: 15,497 scenarios passed, 0 failed.
