HAL9000 wants to merge 1 commit from spec/add-plan-revert-resume-commands-5574 into master
Owner

Summary

This PR documents two fully-implemented CLI commands that were absent from the specification: agents plan revert and agents plan resume.

What Changed

Both commands exist in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py but were not documented in the spec synopsis or command reference sections.

agents plan revert

agents plan revert [--to-phase <PHASE>] [(--reason|-r) <REASON>] <PLAN_ID>
  • Reverts a plan to a previous phase (default: strategize) for re-planning
  • Recovery path for plans in the constrained terminal state
  • Increments reversion_count; blocked at MAX_REVERSIONS

agents plan resume

agents plan resume [--dry-run] <PLAN_ID>
  • Resumes a plan from its last checkpoint
  • --dry-run previews resume point without changing state
  • Only non-terminal plans can be resumed

Locations Updated

  1. Command Synopsis (~line 344): Two new entries added before agents plan rollback
  2. New ##### agents plan revert section: Purpose, arguments, behavior, examples
  3. New ##### agents plan resume section: Purpose, arguments, behavior, examples

Rationale

Users reading the spec would not know these commands exist. Both are important for plan lifecycle management:

  • plan revert is the recovery path for constrained plans
  • plan resume enables checkpoint-based execution recovery

Closes #5574.

Scope

  • Change type: Documentation addition — two new command sections
  • Risk: None — documentation only, no behavioral change
  • Breaking changes: None

Code Review — REQUEST CHANGES 🔄

Reviewed PR #5655 with focus on error-handling-patterns, edge-cases, and boundary-conditions.

This is a documentation-only PR adding agents plan revert and agents plan resume to docs/specification.md. The content of the documentation is largely accurate and well-structured, but there are several CONTRIBUTING.md violations that must be fixed before merge, plus documentation accuracy gaps.


Required Changes

1. Missing Type/ Label (CONTRIBUTING.md — Pull Request Process)

"Every PR must have exactly one Type/ label (e.g., Type/Bug, Type/Feature) that matches the nature of the work."

This PR has no labels at all. For a documentation PR, the correct label is Type/Documentation.

Required: Add the Type/Documentation label.


2. Missing Milestone (CONTRIBUTING.md — Pull Request Process)

"Every PR must be assigned to the same milestone as its linked issue."

The linked issue #5574 is assigned to milestone v3.8.0. This PR has no milestone assigned.

Required: Assign milestone v3.8.0 to this PR.


"The commit message body MUST end with a footer that closes the relevant issue, formatted as ISSUES CLOSED: #N."

The commit message uses Closes #5574 in the body, but the required format is ISSUES CLOSED: #5574 in the footer.

Current commit footer:

Closes #5574

Required commit footer:

ISSUES CLOSED: #5574

Required: Amend the commit to use the correct footer format.


4. Potential Duplicate Work / Conflict with PR #5133

The architecture supervisor already commented on issue #5574 (2026-04-09T07:44:28Z):

"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."

PR #5133 (spec/architecture-corrections-cycle2) is still open and covers overlapping content. Additionally, issue #5574 has the Needs Feedback label and is State/Unverified — meaning it has not been approved for work yet.

Required: Verify this PR does not conflict with or duplicate PR #5133. If PR #5133 already covers this content, this PR should be closed. If this PR covers additional content not in #5133, the overlap should be resolved.


⚠️ Documentation Accuracy Issues (Should be fixed)

5. Missing --format Option in Synopsis

Both commands in the implementation (plan.py) accept a --format/-f option, but the spec synopsis omits it. The issue #5574 itself explicitly proposed including [--format <FMT>]:

Implementation (plan.py):

# revert_plan has:
fmt: Annotated[str, typer.Option("--format", "-f", ...)] = "rich"

# resume_plan_cmd has:
fmt: Annotated[str, typer.Option("--format", "-f", ...)] = "rich"

Spec synopsis (this PR):

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

Proposed fix:

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

6. Inaccurate --to-phase Valid Values

The spec states:

--to-phase PHASE: Target phase to revert to (default: strategize). Valid values: strategize.

However, the implementation accepts any valid PlanPhase enum value, not just strategize:

try:
    target_phase = PlanPhase(to_phase.lower())
except ValueError as exc:
    valid_phases = ", ".join(p.value for p in PlanPhase)
    console.print(f"[red]Invalid phase:[/red] {to_phase}. Valid phases: {valid_phases}")

The spec should either list all valid PlanPhase values, or state "any valid phase value" and note that strategize is the default and most common use case.

7. Missing Error Condition Documentation (Focus: error-handling-patterns)

The spec documents the happy path but omits error conditions that users will encounter:

For plan revert:

  • What error/message appears when reversion_count >= MAX_REVERSIONS?
  • What error/message appears when attempting to revert a terminal plan?
  • What is the actual value of MAX_REVERSIONS?

For plan resume:

  • What error/message appears when attempting to resume a terminal plan (applied, cancelled, or constrained)?
  • What happens if the plan has no checkpoint to resume from?

8. Boundary Condition: MAX_REVERSIONS Value Not Documented (Focus: boundary-conditions)

The spec mentions "blocked at MAX_REVERSIONS" but does not document the actual value. Users need to know this limit. The implementation references plan.MAX_REVERSIONS — the spec should state the concrete value.


What's Good

  • Commit message format: docs(spec): add agents plan revert and agents plan resume commands correctly follows Conventional Changelog format
  • Closing keyword in PR description: Closes #5574 is present
  • Content accuracy: The core behavior descriptions for both commands accurately reflect the implementation
  • Examples: The examples are realistic and helpful
  • Placement: Adding revert and resume before rollback in the synopsis is logical
  • HTML formatting: The synopsis uses the same styled HTML format as other commands in the spec
  • Section structure: Both new sections follow the established pattern (Purpose, Arguments, Behavior, Examples)

Decision: REQUEST CHANGES 🔄

The three CONTRIBUTING.md violations (missing label, missing milestone, wrong commit footer format) must be fixed. The potential conflict with PR #5133 must also be resolved. The documentation accuracy issues (#5–#8) should be addressed in this PR since they affect the correctness of the spec.

Code Review — REQUEST CHANGES 🔄

Reviewed PR #5655 with focus on performance-implications, resource-usage, and scalability, plus full CONTRIBUTING.md compliance checks.

This is a documentation-only PR adding agents plan revert and agents plan resume to docs/specification.md. The content is largely accurate and well-structured. All CI checks pass (lint , typecheck , unit_tests , integration_tests , coverage ). However, there are CONTRIBUTING.md violations that must be fixed before merge, plus documentation accuracy gaps that should be addressed.


Required Changes

"The commit message body must end with a footer to link it to an issue. The required format is ISSUES CLOSED: #N."

The commit message uses Closes #5574 in the body, but the required format per CONTRIBUTING.md is ISSUES CLOSED: #5574 in the footer.

Current commit footer:

Closes #5574

Required commit footer:

ISSUES CLOSED: #5574

Note: The PR description correctly uses Closes #5574 (which is the Forgejo closing keyword for auto-close on merge — that part is fine). The issue is specifically the commit message footer, which must use ISSUES CLOSED: #N per the project's Conventional Changelog convention.

Required: Amend the commit to use ISSUES CLOSED: #5574 in the footer.


2. Missing Milestone (CONTRIBUTING.md — Pull Request Process, Rule 11)

"Every PR must be assigned to the same milestone as its linked issue(s). A PR without a milestone will not be reviewed."

The linked issue #5574 is assigned to milestone v3.8.0. This PR has no milestone assigned.

Required: Assign milestone v3.8.0 to this PR.


3. Missing --format Option in Synopsis (Documentation Accuracy)

The issue #5574 itself explicitly proposed including [--format <FMT>] in the synopsis. The implementation in plan.py confirms both commands accept --format/-f:

revert_plan (plan.py lines 2846–2853):

fmt: Annotated[
    str,
    typer.Option("--format", "-f", help=_FORMAT_HELP),
] = "rich"

resume_plan_cmd (plan.py lines 3367–3374):

fmt: Annotated[
    str,
    typer.Option("--format", "-f", help=_FORMAT_HELP),
] = "rich"

Current spec synopsis (this PR):

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

Required (to match implementation and the original issue proposal):

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

⚠️ Should-Fix Issues

4. Inaccurate --to-phase Valid Values Documentation

The spec states:

--to-phase PHASE: Target phase to revert to (default: strategize). Valid values: strategize.

However, the implementation (plan.py lines 2874–2881) accepts any valid PlanPhase enum value:

try:
    target_phase = PlanPhase(to_phase.lower())
except ValueError as exc:
    valid_phases = ", ".join(p.value for p in PlanPhase)
    console.print(f"[red]Invalid phase:[/red] {to_phase}. Valid phases: {valid_phases}")

The spec should either list all valid PlanPhase values or state "any valid phase value" and note that strategize is the default and most common use case. Documenting only strategize as valid when the implementation accepts all phases is misleading.

5. MAX_REVERSIONS Value Not Documented

The spec mentions "blocked at MAX_REVERSIONS" but does not state the concrete value. The implementation confirms MAX_REVERSIONS = 3 (plan.py line 802, also confirmed in docs/reference/phase_reversion.md line 38: "3 (Plan.MAX_REVERSIONS)"). Users need to know this limit to understand when reversion will be blocked.

Suggested addition: "blocked at MAX_REVERSIONS (currently 3)"

6. Missing Error Condition Documentation

The spec documents the happy path but omits error conditions users will encounter:

For plan revert:

  • What happens when reversion_count >= MAX_REVERSIONS? (The implementation raises PlanError with message "Cannot revert")
  • What happens when attempting to revert a permanently terminal plan (APPLIED or CANCELLED state)?

For plan resume:

  • What happens when attempting to resume a terminal plan (applied, cancelled, or constrained)?

🔍 Focus Area Analysis: Performance, Resource Usage, Scalability

This is a documentation-only PR — no code changes, no new runtime behavior. From a performance/resource/scalability perspective:

  • No performance implications: The PR adds only markdown/HTML to docs/specification.md. No runtime code is touched.
  • No resource usage changes: Documentation additions have zero impact on memory, CPU, or I/O at runtime.
  • No scalability concerns: The spec file itself is already very large (~4.2 MB), but this is a documentation concern, not a runtime one. The additions are proportional to the existing command documentation pattern.
  • Spec accuracy matters for scalability: The MAX_REVERSIONS = 3 loop guard is a critical scalability safeguard preventing infinite strategize-execute-revert cycles. The spec should document this concrete value so operators understand the system's built-in protection against runaway plan reversion loops.

🔍 Overlap with PR #5133

The architecture supervisor flagged that PR #5133 (spec/architecture-corrections-cycle2) also covers plan revert/plan resume documentation. The implementation-worker's comment on issue #5574 (2026-04-09T09:11:51Z) explains the rationale for keeping this PR narrow: PR #5133 documents older CLI semantics (e.g., a --yes flag and --to-phase execute that no longer exist), while this PR reflects the current implementation.

This is a reasonable approach. However, the overlap means there is a merge conflict risk — whichever PR merges second will need to reconcile with the other. This is not a blocker for this PR, but the author should be aware.


What's Good

  • Commit message format: docs(spec): add agents plan revert and agents plan resume commands correctly follows Conventional Changelog format
  • Closing keyword in PR description: Closes #5574 is present
  • Type label: Type/Documentation is correctly applied
  • CI: All checks pass (lint, typecheck, unit_tests, integration_tests, coverage)
  • Content accuracy: Core behavior descriptions for both commands accurately reflect the implementation
  • Examples: Realistic and helpful
  • Placement: Adding revert and resume before rollback in the synopsis is logical
  • HTML formatting: Uses the same styled HTML format as other commands in the spec
  • Section structure: Both new sections follow the established pattern (Purpose, Arguments, Behavior, Examples)
  • Scope: Appropriately narrow — documentation only, no behavioral change
  • PR description: Clear, well-structured, explains rationale

Decision: REQUEST CHANGES 🔄

Blocking issues (must fix before merge):

  1. Commit footer must use ISSUES CLOSED: #5574 format (not Closes #5574)
  2. PR must be assigned to milestone v3.8.0

Should-fix issues (strongly recommended):
3. Add [--format <FMT>] to both command synopses (omitted from implementation)
4. Correct --to-phase valid values documentation
5. Document MAX_REVERSIONS = 3 concrete value
6. Add error condition documentation for both commands

Review Summary — REQUEST CHANGES 🔄

Note

: Forgejo prevents self-review (same author as PR). Posting review feedback as a comment instead.

Reviewed PR #5655 with focus on specification-compliance, requirements-coverage, and behavior-correctness.

This is a documentation-only PR adding agents plan revert and agents plan resume to docs/specification.md. The previous review (comment #165557) raised 4 required changes. Two have been fixed ( Type/Documentation label added; PR #5133 conflict addressed with a clear rationale). However, two CONTRIBUTING.md violations remain unresolved, and the documentation accuracy issues flagged in the prior review were not addressed.


Required Changes (Still Blocking)

1. Missing Milestone (CONTRIBUTING.md — Pull Request Process, Rule 11)

"Every PR must be assigned to the same milestone as its linked issue(s). If the linked issues span multiple milestones, assign the PR to the milestone of the primary issue. A PR without a milestone will not be reviewed."

The linked issue #5574 is assigned to milestone v3.8.0. This PR still has no milestone assigned.

Required: Assign milestone v3.8.0 to this PR.


"Every commit in the PR must reference the issue it addresses in its commit message footer (e.g., ISSUES CLOSED: #45 or Refs: #45)."

The commit message body uses Closes #5574, but the required footer format per CONTRIBUTING.md is ISSUES CLOSED: #5574. The example in CONTRIBUTING.md is explicit:

chore(Commitizen): Made repository Commitizen friendly.

Added standard Commitizen configuration files to the repo along with all the custom rules.

ISSUES CLOSED: #31

Current commit footer:

Closes #5574

Required commit footer:

ISSUES CLOSED: #5574

Note: Closes #5574 in the PR description is correct and should remain. Only the commit message needs to be amended.

Required: Amend the commit to use ISSUES CLOSED: #5574 as the footer.


⚠️ Documentation Accuracy Issues (Should Be Fixed — Carried Over from Prior Review)

These were flagged in the previous review and remain unaddressed. They affect the correctness of the spec as a reference document.

3. Missing --format Option in Synopsis

The issue #5574 itself proposed including [--format <FMT>] in the synopsis, and the implementation in plan.py accepts --format/-f for both commands. The spec synopsis omits it:

Proposed fix:

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

4. Inaccurate --to-phase Valid Values

The spec states valid values are only strategize, but the implementation accepts any valid PlanPhase enum value. The spec should either list all valid phases or state "any valid phase value" with strategize as the default and recommended use case.

5. Missing Error Condition Documentation

The spec documents the happy path but omits error conditions users will encounter:

  • plan revert: What happens when reversion_count >= MAX_REVERSIONS? What is the actual value of MAX_REVERSIONS?
  • plan resume: What error appears when attempting to resume a terminal plan (applied, cancelled, constrained)?

What's Good / What Was Fixed

  • Type/Documentation label: Now correctly applied (fixed from prior review)
  • PR #5133 conflict: Addressed with a clear rationale in issue #5574 comment — this PR uses current CLI semantics while #5133 has outdated ones
  • Commit subject line: docs(spec): add agents plan revert and agents plan resume commands correctly follows Conventional Changelog format
  • Closing keyword in PR description: Closes #5574 is present and correct
  • Content accuracy: Core behavior descriptions for both commands accurately reflect the implementation
  • Examples: Realistic and helpful
  • Section structure: Both new sections follow the established pattern (Purpose, Arguments, Behavior, Examples)
  • Placement: Adding revert and resume before rollback in the synopsis is logically correct

Decision: REQUEST CHANGES 🔄

Two CONTRIBUTING.md violations must be fixed before merge:

  1. Assign milestone v3.8.0 to the PR
  2. Amend the commit to use ISSUES CLOSED: #5574 footer format

The documentation accuracy issues (#3–#5) should also be addressed in this PR since they affect the correctness of the spec as a reference document.

Summary

  • Appreciate the documentation sync for the plan lifecycle commands, and the CI run for this PR passed even with master currently red (issue #8759).
  • I did spot one factual mismatch plus several checklist items from CONTRIBUTING that must be resolved before we can merge.

Major Issues

  1. Spec text disagrees with the implemented revert behaviour

    • In the new agents plan revert section the Behaviour list states "Only non-terminal plans can be reverted."
    • However PlanLifecycleService.revert_plan (see src/cleveragents/application/services/plan_lifecycle_service.py, lines 2490-2505) deliberately allows reverting constrained and errored plans—the doc even calls out constrained plans as the recovery path. Only APPLIED and CANCELLED plans are blocked.
    • Please update the documentation so it matches the actual guard (e.g., spell out that applied / cancelled are disallowed, while constrained/errored can be reverted).
  2. Release checklist gaps (CONTRIBUTING.md)

    • CHANGELOG.md has not been updated for this change.
    • The PR is missing a milestone assignment.
    • Issue #5574 is not marked as being blocked by this PR in dependency tracking.
    • The lone commit message ends with Closes #5574, but per the guidelines it needs an ISSUES CLOSED: #5574 footer.
    • Please address each of these before re-requesting review.

Once those are fixed I'm happy to take another look.

Summary

  • Thanks for documenting the previously-undocumented plan lifecycle commands.

Major Issues

  1. Spec behaviour mismatch for agents plan revert
    The new Behaviour bullet says "Only non-terminal plans can be reverted." but PlanLifecycleService.revert_plan only blocks APPLIED/CANCELLED states and is explicitly intended as the recovery path for constrained plans (see plan_lifecycle_service.py lines 2561-2568). Please update the spec text so it matches the actual guard (i.e., constrained/errored plans can be reverted, only applied/cancelled are rejected).
  2. Spec behaviour mismatch for agents plan resume
    The Behaviour list omits that ERRORED plans are terminal and resume will raise. resume_plan checks plan.is_terminal, and Plan.is_terminal includes ERRORED (lines 2508-2513 and 936-941). Please document that errored plans cannot be resumed to avoid misleading operators.
  3. Contributor checklist gaps
    • No CHANGELOG.md entry was added for this documentation change.
    • The PR still has no milestone assigned (milestone remains null).
    • Issue #5574 is not marked as blocked by this PR (GET .../issues/5574/blocks returns []).
    • The lone commit message is missing the required ISSUES CLOSED: #5574 footer.
      Please address each checklist item before re-requesting review.
