InvariantService.get_effective_invariants() — effective invariant computation

What Was Tested

Runtime testing of InvariantService.get_effective_invariants() with project_name only (no plan_id).

Expected Behavior (from spec)

When computing effective invariants for a project context (e.g., get_effective_invariants(project_name='myapp')), only the following should be included:

Global invariants (all global-scoped invariants)
Project invariants scoped to myapp
Plan invariants should NOT be included unless a specific plan_id is also provided

The spec defines the effective set as the union of applicable scopes for a given context. Without a plan_id, plan-scoped invariants from unrelated plans should not appear.

Actual Behavior (from runtime test)

from cleveragents.application.services.invariant_service import InvariantService
from cleveragents.domain.models.core.invariant import InvariantScope

svc = InvariantService()

svc.add_invariant('Global constraint', InvariantScope.GLOBAL, 'system')
svc.add_invariant('Project constraint for myapp', InvariantScope.PROJECT, 'myapp')
svc.add_invariant('Project constraint for otherapp', InvariantScope.PROJECT, 'otherapp')
svc.add_invariant('Plan constraint for PLAN1', InvariantScope.PLAN, 'PLAN1')

# Get effective for project myapp - should NOT include otherapp or PLAN1
effective = svc.get_effective_invariants(project_name='myapp')
for inv in effective:
    print(f'  [{inv.scope.value}] {inv.source_name}: {inv.text}')

# Output:
#   [plan] PLAN1: Plan constraint for PLAN1    ← WRONG! Should not be here
#   [project] myapp: Project constraint for myapp
#   [global] system: Global constraint

The plan-scoped invariant from PLAN1 is incorrectly included even though no plan_id was specified.

Root Cause

In src/cleveragents/application/services/invariant_service.py, get_effective_invariants() (lines 188-202):

plan_invs = [
    inv
    for inv in active
    if inv.scope == InvariantScope.PLAN
    and (plan_id is None or inv.source_name == plan_id)  # ← BUG: when plan_id is None, ALL plan invariants are included
]

The condition plan_id is None or inv.source_name == plan_id means:

When plan_id=None: ALL plan-scoped invariants are included (incorrect)
When plan_id='PLAN1': Only PLAN1's invariants are included (correct)

The fix should be:

plan_invs = [
    inv
    for inv in active
    if inv.scope == InvariantScope.PLAN
    and plan_id is not None  # Only include plan invariants when a plan_id is specified
    and inv.source_name == plan_id
]

Impact

This bug causes agents invariant list --effective --project myapp to show plan-scoped invariants from ALL plans in the system, not just those relevant to the current context. This could lead to:

Incorrect invariant enforcement during strategize when project context is used
Confusing output for users listing effective invariants for a project

Steps to Reproduce

agents invariant add --global "Global constraint"
agents invariant add --project myapp "Project constraint"
agents invariant add --plan PLAN1 "Plan constraint for PLAN1"

# Should show only global + myapp project invariants:
agents invariant list --effective --project myapp
# But incorrectly also shows PLAN1's plan-scoped invariant

Issue triaged by project owner:

State: Verified
Priority: High — (elevating from Backlog) this is a correctness bug in InvariantService.get_effective_invariants(). When called with only project_name, ALL plan-scoped invariants from ALL plans are incorrectly included. This can cause incorrect invariant enforcement during strategize and confusing CLI output.
Milestone: v3.5.0 — invariant service correctness is required for "Automation profile resolution precedence correct (plan > action > global)" acceptance criterion
Story Points: 2 — S — the fix is a 1-line condition change, but requires a regression test
MoSCoW: Must Have — the automation profile resolution precedence is an explicit v3.5.0 acceptance criterion. Including plan invariants from unrelated plans when no plan_id is specified violates the scoping semantics.
Parent Epic: Needs linking to the invariants/automation profile epic

Triage Rationale: The root cause is clear (plan_id is None or inv.source_name == plan_id should be plan_id is not None and inv.source_name == plan_id). The impact is significant — incorrect invariant scoping can cause wrong constraints to be applied during plan execution.
