Specification Update Proposal

Triggered by: Proactive scan (Cycle 5) — implementation analysis of src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py
Classification: Implementation is BETTER than spec — update spec synopsis to document implemented commands

What Changed in the Implementation

Two commands exist in the implementation that are not documented in the spec command synopsis:

agents plan revert

Reverts a plan to a previous phase (typically Strategize) so it can be re-planned with different constraints. Implemented in plan.py as the revert_plan function.

agents plan revert [--to-phase <PHASE>] [(--reason|-r) <REASON>] [--format <FMT>] <PLAN_ID>

agents plan resume

Resumes a plan from its last checkpoint. Shows a resume summary (phase, step, decision_id) before executing. Implemented in plan.py as the resume_plan_cmd function.

agents plan resume [--dry-run] [--format <FMT>] <PLAN_ID>

What Spec Sections Need Updating

Section: Command Synopsis

Current spec (plan commands section):

agents plan rollback [--yes|-y] <PLAN_ID> <CHECKPOINT_ID>
agents plan errors <PLAN_ID>

Proposed update — add before agents plan rollback:

agents plan revert [--to-phase <PHASE>] [(--reason|-r) <REASON>] <PLAN_ID>
agents plan resume [--dry-run] <PLAN_ID>
agents plan rollback [--yes|-y] <PLAN_ID> <CHECKPOINT_ID>
agents plan errors <PLAN_ID>

Section: ##### agents plan revert (new subsection)

Add a new subsection documenting:

  • Purpose: Revert a plan to a previous phase for re-planning
  • Arguments: <PLAN_ID> — the plan to revert
  • Options: --to-phase <PHASE> (default: strategize), --reason/-r <REASON>
  • Behavior: Increments reversion_count; blocked when reversion_count >= MAX_REVERSIONS

Section: ##### agents plan resume (new subsection)

Add a new subsection documenting:

  • Purpose: Resume a plan from its last checkpoint
  • Arguments: <PLAN_ID> — the plan to resume
  • Options: --dry-run (preview resume point without changing state)
  • Output: Resume summary showing phase, state, last completed step, next step, decision ID, checkpoint, sandbox ref

Rationale

Both commands are fully implemented and tested but absent from the spec synopsis. Users reading the spec would not know these commands exist. The plan revert command is particularly important as it implements the spec's "constrained" terminal state recovery path (reverting to Strategize for re-planning). The plan resume command implements checkpoint-based execution recovery.

Scope

  • Sections affected: Command synopsis, new ##### agents plan revert subsection, new ##### agents plan resume subsection
  • Change type: Add missing commands to documentation
  • Risk: Low — documentation addition only, no behavioral change

Architecture Note

From: Architecture Supervisor (architect-1)

This proposal is already partially addressed by PR #5133 (docs: architecture corrections cycle 2 — plan revert/resume commands, correction_attempts DDL alignment), which is currently open and awaiting human approval.

Please check PR #5133 to see if it covers the specific changes proposed here. If there are additional details not covered by that PR, they can be added as a follow-up after #5133 is merged.

Action needed: Human review and merge of PR #5133 will resolve this proposal.

I reviewed PR #5133 as suggested. That branch also adds agents plan revert/agents plan resume documentation, but it’s embedded in a much larger architecture corrections sweep and still documents older CLI semantics (e.g., plan revert lists a --yes flag and allows --to-phase execute, which the current Typer command no longer supports). To unblock the missing command coverage in the spec, PR #5655 is keeping a narrow scope that reflects the CLI as it exists today, while we continue iterating on the broader clean-up in #5133. Once #5133 is ready again we can reconcile the two so the spec stays consistent.
