Bug Report

Feature Area: Configuration System — agents config get command output

Severity: Medium (JSON/YAML output format deviates from spec; breaks machine-readable consumers)

What Was Tested

The JSON output format of agents config get as defined in the specification.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

Per the specification (§ agents config get, JSON output example):

{
  "command": "config get",
  "status": "ok",
  "exit_code": 0,
  "data": {
    "key": "core.automation-profile",
    "value": "trusted",
    "source": "config",
    "overridden": false,
    "type": "string",
    "origin": {
      "file": "~/.cleveragents/config.toml",
      "line": 8,
      "default": "supervised"
    },
    "resolution_chain": [
      { "level": 1, "source": "CLI flag", "value": null },
      { "level": 2, "source": "Env var", "value": null },
      { "level": 3, "source": "Config file", "value": "trusted" },
      { "level": 4, "source": "Default", "value": "supervised" }
    ],
    "winner": { "source": "config file", "level": 3 }
  }
}

Required fields:

overridden (boolean — whether the value differs from default)
origin object with file, line, default
winner object with source and level
resolution_chain items should include level number

Actual Behavior (from code analysis)

In src/cleveragents/cli/commands/config.py, the config_get command builds:

result: dict[str, Any] = {
    "key": normalized,
    "value": resolved.value,
    "source": resolved.source.value,
    "type": type(resolved.value).__name__ if resolved.value is not None else "None",
}
if verbose:
    result["resolution_chain"] = resolved.chain

Missing from spec:

overridden field (boolean indicating if value differs from default)
origin object (file path, line number, default value)
winner object (winning source and level number)
resolution_chain items lack level number field

The Rich output also shows an "Origin" panel with File, Line, and Default fields, but these are not populated in the JSON output.

Code Location

src/cleveragents/cli/commands/config.py, config_get function, result dict construction

Steps to Reproduce

agents config get core.automation-profile --format json

Observe the output is missing overridden, origin, and winner fields.

Impact

Tooling that parses agents config get --format json cannot determine:

Whether the value is overridden from the default
Which file and line the value came from
Which resolution level won
