Bug Report

Feature Area: Plan lifecycle — agents plan diff command
Severity: Medium
Found by: UAT tester instance uat-worker-plan-lifecycle
Spec reference: docs/specification.md §agents plan diff (CLI Command Synopsis line ~344)


What Was Tested

Code-level analysis of src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py — the plan_diff function implementing agents plan diff.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

The spec defines the agents plan diff synopsis as:

agents plan diff (--correction <CORRECTION_ATTEMPT_ID>|<PLAN_ID>)

The parentheses with | indicate a mutually exclusive group: either provide --correction <CORRECTION_ATTEMPT_ID> OR provide <PLAN_ID> as a positional argument. When --correction is provided, no PLAN_ID should be required.

Actual Behavior

The implementation signature is:

def plan_diff(
    plan_id: Annotated[str, typer.Argument(help='Plan ID to show diff for')],
    correction: Annotated[str | None, typer.Option('--correction', ...)] = None,
    fmt: ...
) -> None:

plan_id is a required positional argument (no default value). This means:

  1. agents plan diff 01HXM8C2ZK4Q7C2B3F2R4VYV6J — works
  2. agents plan diff --correction 01HXM8C2ZK4Q7C2B3F2R4VYV6Jfails because plan_id is required

The user cannot use --correction alone without also providing a plan_id. This contradicts the spec's mutually exclusive group syntax.

Code Location

  • src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.pyplan_diff function (line ~2918)
@app.command("diff")
def plan_diff(
    plan_id: Annotated[str, typer.Argument(help='Plan ID to show diff for')],  # ← required
    correction: Annotated[str | None, typer.Option('--correction', ...)] = None,  # ← optional
    ...

Steps to Reproduce

import inspect
from cleveragents.cli.commands.plan import plan_diff
print(inspect.signature(plan_diff))
# Output: (plan_id: Annotated[str, ...], correction: Annotated[str | None, ...] = None, ...)
# plan_id has no default — it is required

Expected Fix

Make plan_id optional (defaulting to None) and add validation logic to ensure exactly one of plan_id or --correction is provided:

@app.command("diff")
def plan_diff(
    plan_id: Annotated[str | None, typer.Argument(help='Plan ID to show diff for')] = None,
    correction: Annotated[str | None, typer.Option('--correction', ...)] = None,
    ...
) -> None:
    if plan_id is None and correction is None:
        console.print("[red]Error:[/red] Provide either a PLAN_ID or --correction <CORRECTION_ATTEMPT_ID>")
        raise typer.Abort()
    if plan_id is not None and correction is not None:
        console.print("[red]Error:[/red] Cannot provide both PLAN_ID and --correction")
        raise typer.Abort()
    ...

Impact

  • Users cannot use agents plan diff --correction <CORRECTION_ATTEMPT_ID> without also providing a plan ID
  • The correction-based diff workflow (comparing before/after a correction) is broken
  • Spec-defined CLI contract is violated
