Bug Report

Feature Area: CLI Commands — agents plan diff

What Was Tested

Code-level analysis of src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py (plan_diff function) against the specification's agents plan diff command signature (spec line 343).

Expected Behavior (from spec)

The spec defines agents plan diff with a mutually exclusive argument structure:

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

This means:

  • Either provide <PLAN_ID> as a positional argument (to show the full plan diff)
  • OR provide --correction <CORRECTION_ATTEMPT_ID> (to show a correction attempt diff)
  • The two are mutually exclusive — you cannot provide both

The spec also says (line 15332): "<PLAN_ID>: Show diff for a plan (positional argument). Mutually exclusive with --correction."

Actual Behavior

The implementation makes PLAN_ID a required positional argument and --correction an optional flag:

Usage: python -m cleveragents plan diff [OPTIONS] PLAN_ID

Arguments:
  *    plan_id      TEXT  Plan ID to show diff for [required]

Options:
  --correction          TEXT  Show diff for a specific correction attempt ID

This means:

  1. agents plan diff --correction <CORRECTION_ID> fails because PLAN_ID is required — you must always provide a plan ID even when using --correction
  2. The spec's intent (either plan ID or correction ID, not both) is not enforced
  3. agents plan diff --correction <CORRECTION_ID> <PLAN_ID> accepts both, which the spec says should be invalid

Code Location

  • src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.pyplan_diff function (line 2918)

Steps to Reproduce

# This should work per spec but fails because PLAN_ID is required:
agents plan diff --correction 01HXM9B7Z3Q1Q8K2E9H7K3W2M8

# Error: Missing argument 'PLAN_ID'

Expected Fix

The command should accept either:

  • agents plan diff <PLAN_ID> (positional only)
  • agents plan diff --correction <CORRECTION_ATTEMPT_ID> (flag only, no positional)

And should reject providing both simultaneously.

Issue triaged by project owner:

  • State: Verified
  • Priority: Medium — agents plan diff signature deviates from spec; PLAN_ID should be mutually exclusive with --correction
  • Milestone: v3.3.0 (Corrections + Subplans + Checkpoints)
  • Story Points: 2 — S — Fixing CLI argument mutual exclusion is a small task
  • MoSCoW: Should Have — Correct CLI interface per spec is important for usability and spec compliance
  • Parent Epic: #4942 (Decision Intelligence Legendary)
