Bug Report

Feature Area: Resource Types — JSON/YAML output format for agents resource type list/show/add

Severity: Non-critical (backlog)

What Was Tested

Code-level analysis of src/cleveragents/cli/commands/resource.py (_resource_type_dict function) against the specification's documented JSON output format for resource type commands.

Expected Behavior (from spec §agents resource type show JSON output)

The spec shows the following JSON output structure:

{
  "command": "resource type show",
  "status": "ok",
  "exit_code": 0,
  "data": {
    "name": "git-checkout",
    "source": "built-in",
    "description": "A locally checked-out git repository with worktree",
    "physical_virtual": "physical",
    "user_addable": true,
    "cli_arguments": [...],
    "parent_types": {...},
    "child_types": [...],
    "sandbox": {
      "strategy": "git_worktree",
      "checkpointable": true,
      "handler": "GitCheckoutHandler"
    }
  }
}

Key field names in the spec:

physical_virtual (not resource_kind)
cli_arguments (not cli_args)
source field ("built-in" or "custom")
sandbox as a nested object with strategy, checkpointable, handler

Actual Behavior

The _resource_type_dict function in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/resource.py (lines 120-148) returns:

result: dict[str, object] = {
    "name": spec.name,
    "description": spec.description or "",
    "resource_kind": str(spec.resource_kind),  # Should be "physical_virtual"
    "sandbox_strategy": str(spec.sandbox_strategy),  # Should be nested in "sandbox"
    "user_addable": spec.user_addable,
    "built_in": spec.built_in,  # Should be "source": "built-in"/"custom"
    "inherits": getattr(spec, "inherits", None),
    "cli_args": cli_args_list,  # Should be "cli_arguments"
    "parent_types": spec.parent_types,
    "child_types": spec.child_types,
    "handler": spec.handler,
    "capabilities": spec.capabilities,
    "equivalence": getattr(spec, "equivalence", None),
}

Discrepancies from spec:

resource_kind instead of physical_virtual
cli_args instead of cli_arguments
built_in (boolean) instead of source ("built-in"/"custom" string)
sandbox_strategy and handler as flat fields instead of nested sandbox object
Missing checkpointable field (from capabilities)
Missing source field

Code Location

src/cleveragents/cli/commands/resource.py lines 120-148 (_resource_type_dict function)

Fix Required

Update _resource_type_dict to match the spec's JSON output format:

Rename resource_kind → physical_virtual
Rename cli_args → cli_arguments
Replace built_in with source: "built-in" if spec.built_in else "custom"
Nest sandbox_strategy, handler, and checkpointable under a sandbox key
Add checkpointable: spec.capabilities.get("checkpoint", False) to the sandbox object

Architectural Decision

The spec is correct. The CLI output format should use physical_virtual (not resource_kind), cli_arguments (not cli_args), source (not built_in), and a nested sandbox object.

Rationale: The distinction between the config file format (input) and the CLI output format is intentional:

Config file (agents resource type add --config): Uses resource_kind, cli_args, parent_types — these are the internal field names used by ResourceTypeSpec
CLI output (agents resource type show/list): Uses physical_virtual, cli_arguments, source — these are user-facing display names that are more descriptive

Implementation fix required (tracked in this issue):
Update _resource_type_dict() in resource.py to:

resource_kind → physical_virtual (string: "physical" or "virtual")
cli_args → cli_arguments
built_in (bool) → source (string: "built-in" or "custom")
Nest sandbox_strategy, handler, checkpointable under sandbox key
Add checkpointable: spec.capabilities.get("checkpoint", False) to sandbox

No spec change needed — the spec is correct.
