Bug Report

Feature Area: Correction Model — agents plan diff --correction
Severity: High (core correction workflow feature is non-functional)
Found by: UAT tester, code analysis
Spec reference: docs/specification.md §CLI Commands for Correction (line ~15525), §agents plan diff command


What Was Tested

The agents plan diff --correction <CORRECTION_ATTEMPT_ID> command was compared against the specification.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

The spec defines agents plan diff (--correction <CORRECTION_ATTEMPT_ID>|<PLAN_ID>) as:

Show diffs for a plan or a correction attempt.

  • --correction CORRECTION_ATTEMPT_ID: Show diff for a correction attempt instead.

The spec shows a full "Correction Diff" output panel:

$ agents plan diff --correction 01HXM9B7Z3Q1Q8K2E9H7K3W2M8

╭─ Correction Diff ───────────────────────────────╮
│ Correction: 01HXM9B7Z3Q1Q8K2E9H7K3W2M8          │
│ Plan: 01HXM8C2ZK4Q7C2B3F2R4VYV6J                │
│ Mode: revert                                     │
│ Target Decision: 01HXM9A1C2Q7W3R5G8Z0P4Q1X9     │
│ ...                                              │
╰──────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
✓ OK Correction diff generated

The JSON output should include a correction_diff object with the correction ID, plan, mode, target decision, and before/after comparison.

Actual Behavior

The implementation at src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py lines 2949–2960 is a stub:

if correction:
    # Show correction-specific diff (stub: shows info panel)
    console.print(
        Panel(
            f"[bold]Correction Attempt:[/bold] {correction}\n"
            f"[bold]Plan:[/bold] {plan_id}\n\n"
            "[dim]Correction diff will be available after M4.2.[/dim]",
            title="Correction Diff",
            expand=False,
        )
    )
    return

The command outputs a placeholder message "Correction diff will be available after M4.2." and returns without computing any actual diff.

Code Location

  • src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py, lines 2948–2960 (plan_diff function, if correction: branch)

Steps to Reproduce

agents plan diff --correction 01HXM9B7Z3Q1Q8K2E9H7K3W2M8 <PLAN_ID>

Expected: Actual diff showing what changed between original and corrected execution.
Actual: "Correction diff will be available after M4.2."

Impact

  • Users cannot compare before/after state of a correction
  • The agents plan diff --correction command is documented in the spec as a key correction workflow tool
  • The spec's "History" panel in agents plan correct output references agents plan diff --correction as the follow-up command

  • Milestone: v3.4.0 — Plan diff with correction is M5 scope (already assigned)
  • Story Points: 3 — M — Implementing real correction diff output
  • MoSCoW: Should Have — Correction diff is useful but not blocking core plan execution
  • Parent Epic: #359 (ACMS v1 + Context Scaling M5)
