Bug Report

Feature area: Sandbox and checkpoint safety model — Automation Profile CLI commands
Severity: Medium
Discovered by: UAT Testing (uat-worker-sandbox-checkpoint)
Spec reference: docs/specification.md lines 17090–17109 (automation-profile list), lines 17264–17300 (automation-profile show)


Expected Behavior (from spec)

The spec requires all CLI commands to return a structured JSON envelope with command, status, exit_code, data, timing, and messages fields.

For agents automation-profile list --format json (spec lines 17090–17109):

{
  "command": "automation-profile list",
  "status": "ok",
  "exit_code": 0,
  "data": {
    "profiles": [...],
    "summary": { "built_in": 8, "custom": 0, "total": 8 }
  },
  "timing": { "started": "2026-02-08T14:31:00Z", "duration_ms": 50 },
  "messages": ["8 profiles listed"]
}

For agents automation-profile show <NAME> --format json (spec lines 17264–17300):

{
  "command": "automation-profile show",
  "status": "ok",
  "exit_code": 0,
  "data": { ... profile fields ... },
  "timing": { "started": "2026-02-08T14:31:00Z", "duration_ms": 55 },
  "messages": ["Profile loaded"]
}

Actual Behavior

The automation-profile list command in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/automation_profile.py (lines 390–410) outputs:

{
  "profiles": [...],
  "summary": { "built_in": 8, "custom": 0, "total": 8 }
}

The automation-profile show command (lines 128–130) outputs:

{
  "name": "trusted",
  "source": "built-in",
  "description": "...",
  "phase_transitions": {...},
  ...
}

Both commands are missing the outer envelope fields:

  • command — the command name
  • status"ok" or "error"
  • exit_code0 for success
  • timing{ "started": "...", "duration_ms": N }
  • messages — list of status messages

Code Locations

  • src/cleveragents/cli/commands/automation_profile.py
    • list_profiles() function (lines 390–410): builds data dict without envelope
    • _print_profile() function (lines 128–130): calls format_output(data, fmt) without envelope

Steps to Reproduce

agents automation-profile list --format json
# Output: {"profiles": [...], "summary": {...}}
# Missing: command, status, exit_code, timing, messages

agents automation-profile show trusted --format json
# Output: {"name": "trusted", "source": "built-in", ...}
# Missing: command, status, exit_code, timing, messages

Impact

  • Scripts and CI/CD pipelines consuming --format json output will fail to find command, status, or exit_code fields
  • Inconsistent with all other CLI commands that do include the envelope
  • The spec's structured output contract is violated

Fix Required

Wrap the data dict in the spec-required envelope before calling format_output():

# In list_profiles():
envelope = {
    "command": "automation-profile list",
    "status": "ok",
    "exit_code": 0,
    "data": {
        "profiles": profile_entries,
        "summary": {"built_in": built_in_count, "custom": custom_count, "total": total_count},
    },
    "timing": {"duration_ms": 0},
    "messages": [f"{total_count} profiles listed"],
}
console.print(format_output(envelope, fmt))

# In _print_profile():
envelope = {
    "command": "automation-profile show",
    "status": "ok",
    "exit_code": 0,
    "data": _profile_spec_dict(profile),
    "timing": {"duration_ms": 0},
    "messages": ["Profile loaded"],
}
console.print(format_output(envelope, fmt))
