Bug Report

Feature Area: Plan lifecycle — agents plan rollback command
Severity: Medium
Found by: UAT tester instance uat-worker-plan-lifecycle
Spec reference: docs/specification.md §agents plan rollback (CLI Command Synopsis line ~346)


What Was Tested

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

Expected Behavior (from spec)

The spec defines the agents plan rollback synopsis as:

agents plan rollback [--yes|-y] <PLAN_ID> <CHECKPOINT_ID>

Both <PLAN_ID> and <CHECKPOINT_ID> are required positional arguments. The command should fail with a clear error if CHECKPOINT_ID is not provided.

Actual Behavior

The implementation signature is:

def rollback_plan(
    plan_id: Annotated[str, typer.Argument(help='Plan ID to rollback')],
    checkpoint_id: Annotated[str | None, typer.Argument(help='Checkpoint ID to restore (positional)')] = None,
    to_checkpoint: Annotated[str | None, typer.Option('--to-checkpoint', ...)] = None,
    yes: Annotated[bool, typer.Option('--yes', '-y', ...)] = False,
    fmt: ...
) -> None:

checkpoint_id is an optional positional argument (defaults to None). The implementation also adds a --to-checkpoint named option as an alternative way to specify the checkpoint. This means:

  1. agents plan rollback <PLAN_ID> <CHECKPOINT_ID> — works
  2. agents plan rollback <PLAN_ID>accepted without error (spec requires CHECKPOINT_ID)
  3. agents plan rollback <PLAN_ID> --to-checkpoint <CHECKPOINT_ID> — works (extension, not in spec)

The spec requires CHECKPOINT_ID as a mandatory positional argument. The implementation makes it optional, which means users can invoke the command without specifying which checkpoint to restore to, leading to ambiguous behavior.

Code Location

  • src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.pyrollback_plan function (line ~3532)
@app.command("rollback")
def rollback_plan(
    plan_id: Annotated[str, typer.Argument(...)],
    checkpoint_id: Annotated[str | None, typer.Argument(...)] = None,  # ← should be required
    to_checkpoint: Annotated[str | None, typer.Option('--to-checkpoint', ...)] = None,  # ← extension
    ...

Steps to Reproduce

import inspect
from cleveragents.cli.commands.plan import rollback_plan
print(inspect.signature(rollback_plan))
# Output: (plan_id: ..., checkpoint_id: Annotated[str | None, ...] = None, ...)
# checkpoint_id has default None — it is optional

Expected Fix

Make checkpoint_id a required positional argument per the spec:

@app.command("rollback")
def rollback_plan(
    plan_id: Annotated[str, typer.Argument(help='Plan ID to rollback')],
    checkpoint_id: Annotated[str, typer.Argument(help='Checkpoint ID to restore')],  # required
    yes: Annotated[bool, typer.Option('--yes', '-y', ...)] = False,
    fmt: ...
) -> None:

The --to-checkpoint named option extension is acceptable as an additional convenience, but checkpoint_id as a positional arg should remain required.

Impact

  • Users can invoke agents plan rollback <PLAN_ID> without specifying a checkpoint, leading to undefined behavior
  • The spec-defined CLI contract is violated
  • Rollback without a target checkpoint is ambiguous — should the system roll back to the latest checkpoint? The spec doesn't define this behavior.
