Bug Report

Feature Area: CLI Commands — agents actor subcommands
Severity: Medium
Discovered by: UAT Testing (uat-pool-1, worker: CLI Commands)

What Was Tested

Reviewed the --format / -f option availability across all agents actor subcommands.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

All agents actor subcommands that produce output should support --format / -f to allow machine-readable output (JSON, YAML, plain, table). The spec requires uniform --format support across all listing/detail commands.

The following actor subcommands correctly implement --format:

agents actor add ✅ (--format, -f)
agents actor update ✅ (--format, -f)
agents actor list ✅ (--format, -f)
agents actor show ✅ (--format, -f)

Actual Behavior

agents actor remove does not accept --format / -f. The command signature is:

@app.command()
def remove(name: Annotated[str, typer.Argument(help="Actor name to remove")]) -> None:

No fmt parameter is present. The removal output (Actor Removed panel, Impact panel, Cleanup panel) is always rendered as Rich text with no machine-readable alternative.

Code Location

src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor.py — remove() function (approximately line 200+)

Steps to Reproduce

agents actor remove local/my-actor --format json
# Error: No such option: --format

Impact

Automation scripts and CI pipelines that use --format json for all actor operations will fail on remove. This breaks the uniform machine-readable output contract.

Suggested Fix

Add fmt parameter to remove() consistent with other actor subcommands:

@app.command()
def remove(
    name: Annotated[str, typer.Argument(help="Actor name to remove")],
    fmt: Annotated[str, typer.Option("--format", "-f", help=_FORMAT_HELP)] = "rich",
) -> None:

And emit structured JSON output when fmt != "rich".
