Bug Report

Feature Area: subplans-checkpoints
Severity: Critical — blocks v3.3.0 milestone acceptance
Spec Reference: v3.3.0 Deliverable #1 — "Plans spawn child subplans during Execute via subplan_spawn decision type"

What Was Tested

The agents plan tree <plan_id> command output when a plan has subplan_spawn or subplan_parallel_spawn decisions.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

Per the v3.3.0 specification (Deliverable #1):

Verifiable Check: plan tree shows subplan_spawn decisions with child plan IDs

The spec example output shows:

╭─ Decision Tree ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ Plan: 01HXM8C2ZK4Q7C2B3F2R4VYV6J                                                         │
│ ├─ [subplan_parallel_spawn] "Implement auth and payment modules, in parallel"            │
│ │  ├─ [subplan_spawn] "Write auth tests" → Plan: 01HXM9F1A                               │
│ │  └─ [subplan_spawn] "Write payment tests" → Plan: 01HXM9F2B                            │
╰──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯

Note the → Plan: <child_plan_id> annotation on each subplan_spawn decision.

Actual Behavior

The build_decision_tree() function and tree_decisions_cmd() in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py do NOT include downstream_plan_ids in the tree output.

The _node_dict() function (line 3957) only includes:

{
    "decision_id": d.decision_id,
    "type": str(d.decision_type),
    "sequence": d.sequence_number,
    "question": d.question,
    "chosen": d.chosen_option,
    "confidence": d.confidence_score,
    "superseded": d.is_superseded,
    "children": [],
}

The Decision domain model has downstream_plan_ids: list[str] (line 354 in decision.py) which stores the child plan ULIDs spawned from a decision, but this field is never rendered in the tree output.

Code Location

src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py, function build_decision_tree() (line 3918)
src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py, function _node_dict() (line 3957)
src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py, function tree_decisions_cmd() (line 3994)
src/cleveragents/domain/models/core/decision.py, field downstream_plan_ids (line 354)

Steps to Reproduce

Create a plan with subplan_spawn decisions that have downstream_plan_ids populated
Run agents plan tree <plan_id>
Observe: subplan_spawn decisions show no child plan IDs

Impact

This is a critical gap in v3.3.0 Deliverable #1. The verifiable check is "plan tree shows subplan_spawn decisions with child plan IDs" — which currently fails because downstream_plan_ids is never rendered.

Fix Required

Add downstream_plan_ids to _node_dict() in build_decision_tree():
```
"downstream_plan_ids": list(d.downstream_plan_ids),
```
In the rich tree rendering (lines 4096-4119), annotate subplan_spawn and subplan_parallel_spawn decisions with their child plan IDs:
```
(subplan_spawn) Q: Write auth tests → Plan: 01HXM9F1A
```
In the table rendering, add a "Child Plans" column showing downstream_plan_ids for spawn-type decisions.

Issue triaged by project owner:

State: Verified
Priority: Critical — v3.3.0 Deliverable #1 verifiable check: "plan tree shows subplan_spawn decisions with child plan IDs" — currently fails because downstream_plan_ids is never rendered in the tree output
Milestone: v3.3.0 — direct acceptance criterion blocker
Story Points: 2 — S — requires adding downstream_plan_ids to _node_dict() and rendering it in the tree/table output
MoSCoW: Must Have — v3.3.0 cannot be accepted without this. The plan tree command is the primary way to verify subplan spawning works.
Parent Epic: Needs linking to the subplans/checkpoints epic

Triage Rationale: The domain model already has downstream_plan_ids correctly populated — this is purely a display gap in the CLI rendering layer. The fix is well-scoped and low-risk.
