Bug Report

Feature Area: Audit Logging — CLI Commands
Milestone: v3.5.0 (M6)
Severity: Critical — blocks milestone acceptance (compliance export is a core audit requirement)

What Was Tested

The agents audit CLI command group was inspected against the specification requirement for an agents audit export subcommand.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

The specification (docs/specification.md, docs/reference/audit_logging.md) defines three primary agents audit subcommands:

  • agents audit list — list entries with filters (implemented)
  • agents audit show <ID> — show single entry (implemented)
  • agents audit exportexport audit logs to JSON or CSV format (MISSING)

The spec states:

agents audit export: Export audit logs to JSON or CSV format.

The docs/reference/audit_logging.md also references export capability for compliance archival:

"In server mode, audit logs can be exported for compliance archival using server administration commands."

Actual Behavior

The agents audit command group (src/cleveragents/cli/commands/audit.py) only implements:

  • list
  • show
  • prune
  • count

There is no export subcommand in the CLI or in AuditService. The AuditLogEntry.as_dict() method exists but is never used for export. There is no --output flag, no CSV serialization, and no JSON bulk export capability.

Code Location

  • src/cleveragents/cli/commands/audit.py — missing export command
  • src/cleveragents/application/services/audit_service.py — missing export() method

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run agents audit --help
  2. Observe that export is not listed as a subcommand
  3. Run agents audit export — command not found error

Impact

Without agents audit export, users cannot:

  • Export audit logs for compliance archival
  • Pipe audit data to external SIEM tools
  • Generate CSV reports for security reviews
  • Automate audit log archival in CI/CD pipelines

Issue triaged by project owner:

  • State: Verified
  • Priority: High — The agents audit export command is explicitly required by the specification (docs/specification.md, docs/reference/audit_logging.md). Missing spec-required CLI commands are high priority as they block milestone acceptance criteria.
  • Milestone: v3.5.0 — The issue body itself identifies this as v3.5.0 (M6) scope. Audit logging is part of the autonomy hardening milestone.
  • Story Points: 5 — L size. Implementing a new CLI subcommand with JSON/CSV serialization, service method, and tests is a 1-2 day task.
  • MoSCoW: Should Have — The spec requires this command, but it's not blocking the core plan execution flow. It's important for compliance and completeness but the system can function without it for the current milestone's primary acceptance criteria.
  • Parent Epic: Needs linking to the Audit Logging epic (search for audit-related epics in v3.5.0).

Hierarchical Compliance Fix: This issue was detected as an orphan (no parent Epic).

Solution: Linked to Epic #5203 (CLI Output Format Compliance — Global Flags, JSON Envelope & Error Responses) based on scope alignment — missing audit export CLI command is a CLI compliance gap.

Hierarchy: Issue #5764 → Epic #5203
