Bug Report

Feature Area: Plan Lifecycle — agents plan cancel

Summary

agents plan cancel <PLAN_ID> --format json returns a raw plan data dict instead of the spec-required JSON envelope. The output is missing the command, status, exit_code, timing, and messages top-level fields, and the data section is missing cancel-specific fields like reason, cancelled_at, sandbox, child_plans, and recovery.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

Per docs/specification.md §agents plan cancel, the JSON output must be:

{
  "command": "plan cancel",
  "status": "ok",
  "exit_code": 0,
  "data": {
    "plan_id": "01HXM8C2ZK4Q7C2B3F2R4VYV6J",
    "phase": "execute",
    "reason": "blocked on credentials",
    "state": "cancelled",
    "cancelled_at": "13:02:15",
    "sandbox": {
      "status": "preserved",
      "files_modified": 3,
      "checkpoints": 2
    },
    "child_plans": {
      "completed": 1,
      "cancelled": 1,
      "artifacts_preserved": true
    },
    "recovery": [
      "Resolve credentials",
      "Run agents plan execute 01HXM8C2ZK4Q7C2B3F2R4VYV6J"
    ]
  },
  "timing": { "started": "2026-02-08T13:02:15Z", "duration_ms": 340 },
  "messages": ["Plan cancelled"]
}

Actual Behavior

In src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py, the cancel_plan command (lines 2774–2822) calls _plan_spec_dict(plan) and optionally adds cancel_reason. This produces:

No top-level envelope: No command, status, exit_code, timing, messages fields
Wrong field name: cancel_reason instead of reason
Missing cancelled_at: No timestamp of when cancellation occurred
Missing sandbox section: No sandbox preservation status, files modified, or checkpoint count
Missing child_plans section: No info on completed/cancelled child plans or artifact preservation
Missing recovery section: No recovery suggestions for the user

Code Location

src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py:

cancel_plan function (lines 2774–2822)

Impact

Programmatic consumers of agents plan cancel --format json receive a non-spec-compliant response. The missing recovery section is particularly impactful as it provides actionable next steps for users.
