Bug Report

Feature Area: Integration test coverage for the complete workflow (plan use → execute → diff → apply)

Severity: Critical — v3.6.0 deliverable requires end-to-end verification of the full plan lifecycle

What Was Tested

Analyzed robot/cli_lifecycle_e2e.robot and robot/helper_cli_lifecycle_e2e.py to verify the complete plan lifecycle integration test coverage.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

The v3.6.0 milestone requires integration test coverage for the complete workflow:

plan use → execute → diff → apply

The Full Lifecycle Action To Apply test case should exercise all four phases including plan diff to verify the changeset is produced before apply.

Actual Behavior

The full_lifecycle() function in robot/helper_cli_lifecycle_e2e.py only covers three of the four required steps:

# Step 1: Create action
r1 = runner.invoke(action_app, ["create", "--config", yaml_path])

# Step 2: Plan use
r2 = runner.invoke(plan_app, ["use", "local/e2e-action", "proj-a"])

# Step 3: Plan execute
r3 = runner.invoke(plan_app, ["execute", _PLAN_ULID])

# Step 4: Plan apply
r4 = runner.invoke(plan_app, ["apply", "--yes", _PLAN_ULID])

plan diff is completely absent from the full lifecycle test. The changeset review step — which is the primary mechanism for users to inspect what changes will be applied before committing — is not exercised in the integration test.

Code Location

robot/cli_lifecycle_e2e.robot — Full Lifecycle Action To Apply test case
robot/helper_cli_lifecycle_e2e.py — full_lifecycle() function (lines 266–323)
_COMMANDS dict (lines 407–420) — no plan-diff command registered

Additional Issue: All Tests Use Mocks

All tests in cli_lifecycle_e2e.robot use MagicMock for the lifecycle service and plan executor. This means the tests verify CLI argument parsing and output formatting, but do not exercise the actual database, service layer, or changeset generation. The plan_diff_artifacts.robot tests (which use real services) are separate and not part of the lifecycle E2E suite.

Steps to Reproduce

Read robot/helper_cli_lifecycle_e2e.py
Search for "diff" — no results
The full_lifecycle() function skips from plan execute directly to plan apply without any plan diff step

Impact

The complete workflow plan use → execute → diff → apply is not end-to-end tested
Users cannot verify that plan diff produces correct changeset output before apply
The v3.6.0 milestone acceptance criterion for "integration test coverage for the complete workflow" is not met

Issue triaged by project owner:

State: Verified
Priority: Critical — The full plan lifecycle integration test (plan use → execute → diff → apply) is missing the plan diff step. This is a v3.6.0 acceptance criterion. Without it, the milestone cannot be considered complete.
Milestone: v3.6.0 (already assigned — correct)
Story Points: 3 — M — Adding plan diff step to the Robot Framework lifecycle test and wiring it up, 4-8 hours.
MoSCoW: MoSCoW/Must have — v3.6.0 explicitly requires "E2E workflow specification tests" and the complete plan use → execute → diff → apply workflow. This is a milestone acceptance criterion.
Parent Epic: Needs linking to the appropriate v3.6.0 Epic (E2E workflow testing)

This is a well-documented gap with clear evidence. The plan diff step is the primary mechanism for users to inspect changesets before apply — it must be tested end-to-end.
