  • Commit Message: test(e2e): validate M5 acceptance criteria for v3.4.0 milestone closure
  • Branch: test/m5-acceptance-gate

Parent

Epic: #401 (E2E Integration Testing)
Related: #406 (M5 E2E test creation)

Description

Run the existing M5 E2E verification suite (robot/m5_e2e_verification.robot) against the complete v3.4.0 implementation. Update any tests that do not pass against the final implementation. Confirm all milestone acceptance criteria from the v3.4.0 milestone description are satisfied. This issue is the final gate before closing milestone v3.4.0.

The existing E2E test suite was created proactively via #406 while the milestone was still in progress. Once all remaining feature work in v3.4.0 is complete, this issue verifies the full acceptance criteria end-to-end and serves as the last issue closed before the milestone itself is closed.

Acceptance Criteria

Success Criteria Verification (from milestone description)

  • agents resource add git-checkout local/large-repo --path /path/to/large/repo --branch main registers a large repository resource

  • agents project show local/large-project displays project details with indexing and context tier information

Technical Criteria (from milestone description)

Implementation Notes

Summary

Added four new CLI-based integration test cases to robot/m5_e2e_verification.robot that exercise the exact CLI commands specified in the v3.4.0 milestone success criteria. The existing nine Python API-based tests (in helper_m5_e2e_verification.py) remain unchanged and continue to validate the technical criteria at the domain model and service layer.

Changes Made

robot/m5_e2e_verification.robot:

  • Added four new Robot Framework test cases that invoke the real CLI (python -m cleveragents) as subprocesses:
    1. CLI Project Create Large Project — exercises agents project create local/large-project and verifies persistence via agents project list.
    2. CLI Resource Add Git Checkout — exercises agents resource add git-checkout local/large-repo --path <dir> --branch main and verifies via agents resource show.
    3. CLI Project Link Resource — exercises the full flow: init → project create → resource add → agents project link-resource local/large-project local/large-repo.
    4. CLI Project Show Displays Linked Resource — exercises the full flow and verifies agents project show --format plain local/large-project displays the project name.
  • Each CLI test creates an isolated temp directory, runs agents init, and cleans up via [Teardown].
  • Added Library Process, Library OperatingSystem, and Library String imports for CLI subprocess support.
  • Organized tests into two sections with comments: "CLI Success Criteria" and "Python API Technical Criteria."

Design Decisions

  1. CLI tests use isolated temp directories — Each CLI test case creates its own tempfile.mkdtemp() and runs agents init to set up a workspace. This ensures test isolation and avoids state leakage between parallel pabot workers.
  2. Existing Python API tests preserved — The existing helper-based tests exercise domain model construction, persistence round-trips, context policy inheritance, and ACMS view resolution at the Python level. These remain valuable for verifying correctness independent of CLI parsing and output rendering.
  3. CLI tests use --format plain where output assertions are needed, following established patterns in project_show_after_create.robot.

Implementation Notes — Review Feedback Addressed

Review Round Summary

Addressed all 11 review findings (2 critical, 3 major, 5 minor, 1 nitpick) in amended commit 2058ddb0.

Key Design Decisions

  1. Per-test CLEVERAGENTS_HOME isolation (M2): Each CLI subprocess now receives env:CLEVERAGENTS_HOME=${tmpdir} to prevent state leakage through the suite-level environment variable. This ensures tests with identical entity names (e.g., local/large-project) never collide.

  2. Linked resource assertion uses "resource_id": not local/large-repo (C2, M1): project show --format plain renders linked resources by ULID (resource_id), not by human-readable name. The _project_spec_dict() function and LinkedResource domain model only carry the ULID. Checking for "resource_id": in the output proves linked resources are present. A follow-up enhancement could add resource name display.

  3. Bug fix: ProjectResourceLinkRepository missing session.commit(): Discovered during test verification that create_link() and remove_link() only called session.flush() without session.commit(). This caused linked resource data to be silently lost. Added session.commit() in both methods. Without this fix, the linked resource assertions were impossible because linked_resources: was always empty in project show output.

  4. Context/ACMS CLI coverage documented, not added (M3): Added documentation explaining that context/ACMS criteria are validated at the Python API level because the CLI doesn't yet expose dedicated context/ACMS inspection commands. This is a scoping decision, not a gap.

  5. Fake repo directories documented (m2): Added comments explaining that the CLI records the path without git validation at registration time, so empty directories are acceptable for the test.

Files Changed

  • robot/m5_e2e_verification.robot — Updated all 4 CLI tests with isolation, stronger assertions, cleanup
  • CHANGELOG.md — Added entry under ## Unreleased
  • src/cleveragents/infrastructure/database/repositories.py — Fixed missing session.commit() in create_link() and remove_link()

Implementation Notes — Review Round 2 Feedback Addressed

Review Round 2 Summary

Addressed all 10 review findings (4 major, 4 minor, 2 nitpick) in amended commit f4c52afa.

Key Design Decisions

  1. Session lifecycle fix: refresh+expunge pattern (M1): Adding finally: session.close() to create_link() caused DetachedInstanceError because the method returns an ORM model. After commit(), SQLAlchemy marks attributes as expired. After close(), the object becomes detached and attribute access triggers a refresh attempt that fails. Solution: session.refresh(link) reloads attributes from the DB, then session.expunge(link) detaches the object cleanly. The returned instance is fully loaded and session-independent. remove_link() doesn't need this because it returns bool.

  2. Cross-session persistence regression guard (M3): Added two Behave scenarios that create a genuinely new session from the same engine after create_link()/remove_link() and verify the operation was durably committed. This is the proper regression guard because the existing tests use lambda: session (shared session) where flush() alone makes data visible. The full TDD workflow (@tdd_expected_fail tag) was not used because the bug was discovered and fixed within the same testing issue, not as a separate bug issue.

  3. ULID-based resource assertion strengthening (m3): Both CLI tests 3 and 4 now capture the actual resource_id ULID from resource show output using regex ("resource_id":\s*"([0-9A-Za-z]{26})"). When the ULID is captured, tests assert the exact ID appears in project show output. The generic "resource_id": assertion is retained as a baseline.

  4. Test 4 differentiation (m2): Test 4 (CLI Project Show Displays Linked Resource) now captures the ULID before linking, verifies resource show independently after linking, and asserts the specific ULID in project show. Test 3 focuses on the link command itself and its output.

Files Changed

  • src/cleveragents/infrastructure/database/repositories.py — Added finally: session.close() to create_link() and remove_link(); added session.refresh() + session.expunge() in create_link(); updated class docstring
  • features/project_repository.feature — Added 2 cross-session persistence scenarios
  • features/steps/project_repository_steps.py — Added cross-session verification step definitions
  • robot/m5_e2e_verification.robot — Strengthened ULID assertions, regex branch check, differentiated test 4, added context tier documentation
  • CHANGELOG.md — Added bug fix entry
