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 --mode=revert command's behavior of re-entering the Strategize phase from the targeted decision point after a revert correction.

Expected behavior (from spec §Correction Flow, Revert Mode)

Per the specification:

Phase transition — signals that the plan should re-enter the Strategize phase from the corrected decision point by setting phase_transition_target to "strategize".

And from §CLI Commands for Correction:

agents plan correct <decision_id> --mode=revert --guidance "<what the decision should be>"
Re-executes from that point with the new guidance

The spec also states in §Correction Safety:

Run execute in sandbox again

Require apply gating again

The rich output example shows a "Recompute" panel:

╭─ Recompute ──────────╮
│ Queued: 2 child plans │
│ ETA: 4m              │
╰──────────────────────╯

This indicates that after a revert correction, the plan should be queued for re-execution from the decision point.

Actual behavior (from code analysis)

In src/cleveragents/application/services/correction_service.py, execute_revert() (lines 411–557):

The method sets phase_target = "strategize" and includes it in the CorrectionResult.phase_transition_target field.
However, this is only stored in the result object — no actual phase transition is performed on the plan.
The CorrectionService does not call PlanLifecycleService.revert_plan() or any other method to actually transition the plan back to Strategize phase.
The CLI handler (correct_decision() in plan.py) does not use result.phase_transition_target to trigger any phase transition.

After plan correct --mode=revert completes:

The plan remains in its current phase (e.g., Execute/complete)
No re-execution is queued
The user must manually run agents plan revert and then agents plan execute to achieve the intended behavior

Code locations

src/cleveragents/application/services/correction_service.py, lines 500–519: phase_target = "strategize" is set but only stored in result
src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py, lines 3318–3341: CLI handler does not act on result.phase_transition_target

Steps to reproduce

Create a plan and execute it to Execute/complete state
Run agents plan correct <DECISION_ID> --mode revert --guidance "test" --yes
Check plan status: agents plan status <PLAN_ID>

Expected: Plan is back in Strategize/queued state, ready for re-execution
Actual: Plan remains in Execute/complete state (or whatever state it was in)

Impact

The core value proposition of --mode=revert — "re-execute from that decision point" — is not delivered. Users who run plan correct --mode=revert expecting automatic re-execution will be surprised to find the plan unchanged. This is a critical gap in the v3.2.0 milestone's plan correction feature.

Suggested fix

After execute_revert() succeeds, the CLI handler should:

Call lifecycle_service.revert_plan(plan_id, PlanPhase.STRATEGIZE) to transition the plan back to Strategize
Optionally auto-queue execution if the automation profile permits

⚠️ Potential Duplicate Detected

This issue appears to describe the same underlying bug as #5095: agents plan correct --mode revert does not re-execute plan from corrected decision point.

Both issues report that plan correct --mode=revert does not properly re-execute the plan from the corrected decision point. Please review and close as duplicate if confirmed.

Issue triaged by project owner:

State: Verified
Priority: Critical — plan correct --mode=revert is a v3.3.0 acceptance criterion ("Correction flow functional (plan correct --mode revert and --mode append)"). If the plan doesn't re-enter Strategize after correction, the correction loop is broken.
Milestone: v3.3.0 — direct acceptance criterion (correction flow)
Story Points: 3 — M — requires fixing the phase transition logic in the correction service
MoSCoW: Must Have — correction flow is an explicit v3.3.0 acceptance criterion
Parent Epic: Needs linking to the corrections epic

Triage Rationale: The correction flow is half-implemented — the revert mode doesn't trigger the re-strategize phase transition. This is a core v3.3.0 feature gap.
