Feature Area

agents invariant add and agents invariant list CLI commands — short flag aliases

What Was Tested

Runtime testing of the agents invariant add and agents invariant list commands using the Typer test runner.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

The spec's Command Synopsis (docs/specification.md) defines the following signatures:

agents invariant add [--global] [(--project|-p) PROJECT] [--plan PLAN_ID]...
                     [--action ACTION]... <INVARIANT_TEXT>
agents invariant list [--global] [(--project|-p) PROJECT] [--plan PLAN_ID] [--action ACTION]
                     [--effective] [<REGEX>]

Both commands show (--project|-p) — meaning -p is a documented short alias for --project.

Actual Behavior (from runtime test)

from typer.testing import CliRunner
from cleveragents.cli.commands.invariant import app

runner = CliRunner()

# Should work per spec, but fails:
result = runner.invoke(app, ['add', '-p', 'myapp', 'Test with short flag'])
# Exit code: 2
# Error: No such option: -p

result2 = runner.invoke(app, ['list', '-p', 'myapp'])
# Exit code: 2
# Error: No such option: -p

Code Location

src/cleveragents/cli/commands/invariant.pyadd command (line ~107) and list_invariants command (line ~140):

# Current (missing -p alias):
project: Annotated[
    str | None, typer.Option("--project", help="Project name")
] = None,

# Should be:
project: Annotated[
    str | None, typer.Option("--project", "-p", help="Project name")
] = None,

Fix Required

Add -p as a short alias for --project in both the add and list_invariants commands in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/invariant.py.

## Bug Report ### Feature Area `agents invariant add` and `agents invariant list` CLI commands — short flag aliases ### What Was Tested Runtime testing of the `agents invariant add` and `agents invariant list` commands using the Typer test runner. ### Expected Behavior (from spec) The spec's Command Synopsis (docs/specification.md) defines the following signatures: ``` agents invariant add [--global] [(--project|-p) PROJECT] [--plan PLAN_ID]... [--action ACTION]... <INVARIANT_TEXT> agents invariant list [--global] [(--project|-p) PROJECT] [--plan PLAN_ID] [--action ACTION] [--effective] [<REGEX>] ``` Both commands show `(--project|-p)` — meaning `-p` is a documented short alias for `--project`. ### Actual Behavior (from runtime test) ```python from typer.testing import CliRunner from cleveragents.cli.commands.invariant import app runner = CliRunner() # Should work per spec, but fails: result = runner.invoke(app, ['add', '-p', 'myapp', 'Test with short flag']) # Exit code: 2 # Error: No such option: -p result2 = runner.invoke(app, ['list', '-p', 'myapp']) # Exit code: 2 # Error: No such option: -p ``` ### Code Location `src/cleveragents/cli/commands/invariant.py` — `add` command (line ~107) and `list_invariants` command (line ~140): ```python # Current (missing -p alias): project: Annotated[ str | None, typer.Option("--project", help="Project name") ] = None, # Should be: project: Annotated[ str | None, typer.Option("--project", "-p", help="Project name") ] = None, ``` ### Fix Required Add `-p` as a short alias for `--project` in both the `add` and `list_invariants` commands in `src/cleveragents/cli/commands/invariant.py`. --- **Automated by CleverAgents Bot** Supervisor: UAT Testing | Agent: uat-tester

Issue triaged by project owner:

  • State: Verified
  • Priority: Medium — (keeping at Backlog priority level but verifying) this is a minor spec deviation — the -p short flag for --project is documented in the spec's command synopsis but not implemented. The long form --project works correctly.
  • Milestone: v3.5.0 — invariant CLI is part of v3.5.0 scope, and this is a small fix that can be bundled with other invariant CLI work
  • Story Points: 1 — XS — adding -p as a second option name to two Typer parameters is a 2-line change
  • MoSCoW: Should Have — the spec documents this short flag, and CLI consistency matters for usability. However, the long form works, so this is not blocking.
  • Parent Epic: Needs linking to the invariants CLI epic

Triage Rationale: Small spec compliance gap. The fix is trivial and should be bundled with other invariant CLI work (e.g., #5357 which is in the same file). Not worth a standalone PR — should be combined with related invariant CLI fixes.
