Bug Report

Feature Area: Actor context management
Severity: Medium
Found by: UAT tester instance uat-worker-actor-yaml
Spec reference: docs/specification.md §agents actor context (lines 5863–6354)


What Was Tested

Code-level analysis of src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor_context.py — the module that implements agents actor context subcommands.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

The spec defines six agents actor context subcommands:

Command Spec Line Purpose
agents actor context remove [--yes/-y] (--all/-a|<NAME>) 5774 Remove a named context or all contexts
agents actor context list [<REGEX>] 5865 List files stored in an actor context
agents actor context show <NAME> 5980 Show content/summary of a named context
agents actor context export (--output/-o) <FILE> <NAME> 6065 Export a context to JSON/YAML
agents actor context import [--update] (--input/-i) <FILE> [<NAME>] 6163 Import a context from JSON/YAML
agents actor context clear [--yes/-y] (--all/-a|<NAME>) 6258 Clear all files from a context but keep the context itself

Actual Behavior

src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor_context.py only implements three of the six commands:

@app.command("remove")   # ✅ implemented
@app.command("export")   # ✅ implemented
@app.command("import")   # ✅ implemented
# ❌ list — MISSING
# ❌ show — MISSING
# ❌ clear — MISSING

The list, show, and clear commands are entirely absent from actor_context.py. The general context.py module (src/cleveragents/cli/commands/context.py) does implement context_list, context_show, and context_clear, but these are wired to the agents context command group, not to agents actor context.

Code Location

  • Missing implementations: src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor_context.py
  • Spec reference: docs/specification.md lines 5863–6354
  • Related (different command group): src/cleveragents/cli/commands/context.py — has list, show, clear but for agents context, not agents actor context

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Inspect src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor_context.py — only 3 @app.command() decorators present
  2. Run agents actor context list — command not found
  3. Run agents actor context show docs — command not found
  4. Run agents actor context clear docs — command not found

Impact

  • Users cannot list the contexts they have created for actor runs
  • Users cannot view a summary of a named context
  • Users cannot clear context messages while preserving the context itself (only full remove is available)
  • Three of six spec-required subcommands are completely missing

Implementation Attempt — Tier 3: sonnet — Success

Implemented the three missing agents actor context subcommands in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor_context.py:

  • list [<REGEX>] — lists actor contexts with optional regex filter, rich table or JSON/YAML output
  • show <NAME> — shows a summary of a named context (message count, size, estimated tokens, creation timestamp)
  • clear [--yes/-y] (--all/-a|<NAME>) — clears messages from a context while preserving the directory

Added 16 new BDD scenarios in features/actor_context_cmds.feature and corresponding step definitions in features/steps/actor_context_cmds_steps.py.

Quality gate status:

  • lint ✓
  • typecheck ✓ (0 errors, 3 pre-existing warnings)
  • unit_tests ✓ (31/31 scenarios in actor_context_cmds.feature)
  • integration_tests — full suite running (pre-existing long duration, unrelated Container Resolve Crash failure noted)

PR: #10913
