Bug Report

Feature Area: Projects and Resources — Resource Type Management

Severity: Medium (backlog — --update flag is documented in spec but not functional)

What Was Tested

The agents resource type add --update flag behavior was verified against the spec.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

The spec defines --update for agents resource type add (line 9891):

--update: If the type name already exists, overwrite it. Without this flag, adding a duplicate name fails with an error.

When --update is passed and the type already exists, the type definition should be replaced with the new YAML configuration.

Actual Behavior

The --update flag is partially implemented but does not actually update. When a type already exists and --update is passed, the code catches the "already exists" error and prints a warning, then aborts:

# src/cleveragents/cli/commands/resource.py, lines 235-246
if update:
    try:
        spec = service.register_type(config)
    except ValidationError as exc:
        if "already exists" in str(exc):
            console.print(
                "[yellow]Resource type already exists. "
                "Update mode is not yet fully supported.[/yellow]"
            )
            raise typer.Abort() from exc
        raise

The comment "Update mode is not yet fully supported" confirms this is a known stub.

Steps to Reproduce

# Register a custom type
agents resource type add --config ./my-type.yaml

# Try to update it
agents resource type add --update --config ./my-type.yaml
# Output: "Resource type already exists. Update mode is not yet fully supported."
# Expected: Type is updated with new definition
