Summary

agents project show displays linked resources using only their internal ULID identifiers instead of their human-readable namespaced names (e.g., local/api-repo). This makes the output difficult to use and does not match the spec.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

From docs/specification.md (line 3297-3299), the JSON output for project show should include:

"linked_resources": [
  { "name": "local/api-repo", "type": "git-checkout", "sandbox": "git_worktree", "read_only": false },
  { "name": "local/staging-db", "type": "local/database", "sandbox": "transaction_rollback", "read_only": true }
]

The Rich output should also show resource names, not ULIDs.

Actual Behavior

╭─────── Project: local/test-project ───────╮
│ Name: local/test-project                  │
│ Namespace: local                          │
│ Description: Test project                 │
│ ...                                       │
│ Linked Resources (2):                     │
│   - 01KNRPM478SSSXS5FFZ3M790RC            │  ← raw ULID, not name
│   - 01KNRPR0VVKPYJHP4JNTNGHPCX            │  ← raw ULID, not name
╰───────────────────────────────────────────╯

JSON output:

"linked_resources": [
  {
    "resource_id": "01KNRPM478SSSXS5FFZ3M790RC",   only ULID
    "read_only": false,
    "alias": null,
    "linked_at": "2026-04-09T08:52:24.169199+00:00"
  }
]

Missing: name, type, sandbox fields.

Root Cause

In src/cleveragents/cli/commands/project.py, the _project_spec_dict() helper (line ~100) only serializes the resource_id from the linked_resources list. It does not look up the resource name or type from the Resource Registry.

The show() command's Rich output also only iterates lr.resource_id without resolving the resource name.

Fix Required

When building the project display (both Rich and JSON), resolve each linked resource's name and type from the Resource Registry service. The _get_resource_registry_service() helper is already available in the module.

Steps to Reproduce

agents resource add git-checkout local/my-repo --path /tmp/repo
agents project create local/my-project
agents project link-resource local/my-project local/my-repo
agents project show local/my-project
# Shows ULID instead of "local/my-repo"

Environment

  • Tested on: /app (cleveragents-core, master branch)
  • Python 3.13.3
  • Reproduced: 2026-04-09

MoSCoW classification: MoSCoW/Should have

Rationale: agents project show displaying raw ULIDs instead of human-readable resource names is a usability issue. The spec defines the output format with namespaced names (e.g., local/api-repo). This makes the output difficult to use and does not match the spec. Should be fixed for a good user experience but is not blocking core functionality.

Also adding Points/2 — S — Resolving ULIDs to resource names in the project show output requires a lookup in the resource registry, estimated 1-4 hours.
