Bug Report

Tested by: UAT tester instance uat-tester-project-model-1
Feature area: Project Model — Invariant Attachment

What Was Tested

The two CLI paths for attaching invariants to projects and their consistency.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

Both agents project create --invariant "text" and agents invariant add --project myapp "text" should store invariants in the same location and be retrievable via the same mechanism.

Actual Behavior

There are two completely different and incompatible storage mechanisms for project-scoped invariants:

Path 1: agents project create --invariant "text"

Stores invariants via raw SQL UPDATE ns_projects SET invariants_json = :inv_json
Data is persisted to the SQLite database in the ns_projects table
Invariants are stored as a JSON array in the invariants_json column
NOT accessible via NamespacedProject domain model (no such field)
NOT accessible via agents invariant list --project myapp

Path 2: agents invariant add --project myapp "text"

Stores invariants in InvariantService._invariants dict (in-memory only)
Data is lost when the process exits
Accessible via agents invariant list --project myapp within the same process
NOT persisted to the database at all

These two paths are completely disconnected:

Invariants created via project create are invisible to invariant list
Invariants created via invariant add are invisible to project show and lost on exit
The Invariant Reconciliation Actor has no consistent way to load project invariants

Code Location

src/cleveragents/cli/commands/project.py — _store_project_extras() writes to ns_projects.invariants_json via raw SQL
src/cleveragents/application/services/invariant_service.py — InvariantService stores in self._invariants: dict[str, Invariant] = {}
src/cleveragents/cli/commands/invariant.py — uses InvariantService() without DB

Impact

Users who set invariants at project creation time cannot list them via agents invariant list
Users who add invariants via agents invariant add lose them on process exit
No single source of truth for project-scoped invariants
The Invariant Reconciliation Actor cannot reliably load project invariants

Fix Direction

Consolidate to a single DB-backed invariant repository. Both project create --invariant and invariant add --project should write to the same table. InvariantService should be backed by a database repository, not in-memory storage.
