Bug Report

Feature Area: plan-correction-modes
Severity: Critical
Milestone: v3.2.0
Found by: UAT Testing (uat-pool-1, worker: plan-correction-modes)

What was tested

The agents plan correct command's JSON and YAML output format when --format json or --format yaml is used.

Expected behavior (from spec §agents plan correct)

The spec defines a structured envelope for all plan correct output:

{
  "command": "plan correct",
  "status": "ok",
  "exit_code": 0,
  "data": {
    "correction": {
      "mode": "revert",
      "impact": "3 decisions, 2 child plans, 5 artifacts",
      "new_decision": "01HXM9B7Z3Q1Q8K2E9H7K3W2M8",
      "corrects": "01HXM9A1C2Q7W3R5G8Z0P4Q1X9",
      "attempt": 2
    },
    "affected_subtree": {
      "decisions_invalidated": 3,
      "child_plans_rolled_back": 2,
      "artifacts_archived": 5,
      "unaffected_decisions": 2
    },
    "sandbox_rollback": {
      "checkpoint": "cp_01HXM8C2",
      "files_reverted": 5,
      "status": "restored"
    },
    "recompute": {
      "queued": "2 child plans",
      "eta": "4m"
    },
    "history": [...]
  },
  "timing": { "started": "...", "duration_ms": 2350 },
  "messages": ["Correction applied"]
}

For --mode append, the spec requires:

{
  "command": "plan correct",
  "status": "ok",
  "exit_code": 0,
  "data": {
    "correction": { "mode": "append", ... },
    "append_detail": {
      "original_decision_preserved": true,
      "existing_artifacts_kept": true,
      "additional_work": "appended as new child plan",
      "note": "..."
    },
    "queued": { "new_child": 1, "eta": "2m" }
  },
  "timing": { ... },
  "messages": ["Append correction queued"]
}

Actual behavior (from code analysis)

In src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py lines 3325–3333, the non-rich output is:

data = {
    "correction_id": result.correction_id,
    "status": result.status.value,
    "mode": correction_mode.value,
    "new_decisions": result.new_decisions,
    "reverted_decisions": result.reverted_decisions,
}
console.print(format_output(data, fmt))

This produces a flat dict with no command, exit_code, timing, messages wrapper, and the data payload structure does not match the spec at all. There is no affected_subtree, sandbox_rollback, recompute, or history section for revert mode, and no append_detail or queued section for append mode.

Code location

src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py, lines 3325–3333 (non-rich output block in correct_decision())

Steps to reproduce

agents plan correct <DECISION_ID> --mode revert --guidance "test" --yes --format json

Expected: structured envelope with command, status, exit_code, data, timing, messages
Actual: flat dict with correction_id, status, mode, new_decisions, reverted_decisions

Impact

Any tooling, scripts, or integrations that parse plan correct --format json output will receive an incorrect structure. This breaks the machine-readable API contract defined in the spec.

Issue triaged by project owner:

State: Verified
Priority: High — (adjusting from Critical) the JSON/YAML output envelope for plan correct is missing the spec-required wrapper structure. This is a spec compliance gap in the output format, but the command itself works.
Milestone: v3.2.0 — output format consistency is part of v3.2.0 CLI spec compliance
Story Points: 2 — S — requires updating the output formatting in the plan correct command
MoSCoW: Should Have — the spec defines a specific output envelope format. Deviating from it breaks tooling that parses the output. However, the command itself functions correctly.
Parent Epic: Needs linking to the plan CLI epic

Triage Rationale: Output format consistency is important for CLI tooling and scripting. The fix is straightforward (add the wrapper envelope), but the command itself works correctly.
