Bug Report

Feature Area: Validation Runner — Validation Result Recording

Severity: Medium — validation result entries stored in plan metadata are missing spec-required fields needed for auditing and debugging


What Was Tested

Code-level analysis of ValidationResult model in src/cleveragents/application/services/validation_pipeline.py (lines 159–196) against the validation result entry format defined in docs/specification.md (Core Concepts > Validation > Validation Data Model, lines 22940–22959).

Expected Behavior (from spec)

The specification (lines 22940–22959) defines the format of each entry in validation_summary:

{
  "validation": "local/run-tests",
  "mode": "required",
  "passed": true,
  "message": "All 247 tests passed, 94% coverage",
  "data": {...},
  "duration_ms": 12400,
  "attempt": 2,
  "attachment_id": "01HXM5A1B2C3D4E5F6G7H8J9K0",
  "attachment_resource": "local/api-repo",
  "attachment_scope": "project",
  "attachment_scope_target": "local/api-service"
}

Required fields per spec:

  • attempt — which fix-then-revalidate attempt this result is from (1-based)
  • attachment_id — ULID of the specific attachment that triggered this validation
  • attachment_resource — human-readable resource name the validation is attached to
  • attachment_scope — scope of the attachment (direct, project, or plan)
  • attachment_scope_target — the project name or plan ID for scoped attachments

Also note: the spec uses "validation" as the key (not "validation_name").

Actual Behavior (from code)

ValidationResult in validation_pipeline.py lines 159–196:

class ValidationResult(BaseModel):
    validation_name: str  # BUG: spec uses "validation" key
    resource_id: str
    resource_name: str
    mode: ValidationMode
    passed: bool
    message: str
    data: dict[str, Any] | None
    duration_ms: float
    error: str | None
    timed_out: bool
    # MISSING: attempt, attachment_id, attachment_resource, attachment_scope, attachment_scope_target

Five spec-required fields are completely absent from the model.

Evidence

  • src/cleveragents/application/services/validation_pipeline.py:159-196: ValidationResult model definition
  • Spec lines 22940–22959: Required entry format with attempt, attachment_id, attachment_resource, attachment_scope, attachment_scope_target
  • Spec line 22944: Key is "validation" not "validation_name"

Impact

  1. Auditing broken: Cannot determine which attachment triggered a validation or what scope it was in
  2. Debugging broken: Cannot correlate a validation result with its attachment ULID for agents validation detach
  3. Fix-then-revalidate tracking broken: The attempt field is needed to understand which attempt produced which result
  4. Serialization mismatch: The validation_summary stored in the plan uses "validation_name" but the spec and any downstream tooling expects "validation"

Fix Required

  1. Add missing fields to ValidationResult:

    attempt: int = Field(default=1, ge=1, description="1-based attempt number")
    attachment_id: str | None = Field(default=None, description="Attachment ULID")
    attachment_resource: str | None = Field(default=None, description="Resource name")
    attachment_scope: str | None = Field(default=None, description="direct/project/plan")
    attachment_scope_target: str | None = Field(default=None, description="Project/plan ID")
    
  2. Rename validation_name to validation in the serialized output (or add an alias) to match the spec's key name

  3. Update ValidationPipeline._execute_single() and ValidationCommand to carry attachment metadata through to the result

  4. Update run_for_plan() serialization to use "validation" key instead of "validation_name"

Architectural Decision

The spec is correct. The ValidationResult model must include all five missing fields: attempt, attachment_id, attachment_resource, attachment_scope, and attachment_scope_target.

Rationale: These fields are essential for the validation audit trail. The attempt field enables tracking fix-then-revalidate cycles. The attachment_* fields enable correlating validation results with the specific attachment that triggered them — critical for agents validation detach and for understanding why a validation ran.

Key design decision: The serialized key should be "validation" (not "validation_name") to match the spec. The validation_name field name in the current code is an implementation deviation. The fix should use validation: str as the field name, or add a model_config = ConfigDict(populate_by_name=True) with an alias.

Implementation fix required (tracked in this issue):

  1. Add 5 missing fields to ValidationResult with Optional types (backward compatible)
  2. Rename validation_namevalidation in the serialized output (use Field(alias="validation") for backward compat)
  3. Update ValidationPipeline._execute_single() to populate attachment metadata from ValidationCommand
  4. Update run_for_plan() serialization to use the new field names

No spec change needed — the spec is correct and complete.
