Summary

PlanExecutor.run_execute() (both stub and runtime paths) never invokes the ValidationPipeline. The spec requires that all attached validations run at the end of the Execute phase, with required failures blocking apply. Currently, no validations are ever executed during plan execution.

What Was Tested

Code-level analysis of src/cleveragents/application/services/plan_executor.py
Runtime test: created a plan, ran execute, checked plan.validation_summary

Expected Behavior (from spec §Validation Abstraction)

"Each applicable validation is invoked as a standard tool call. The validation reads the sandbox state and returns its structured result."
"Validation runs during Execute, not during Apply."
"Validation runner executes required and informational validations" (v3.2.0 deliverable #11)

The Execute phase should:

Collect all validation attachments for the plan's resources
Run the ValidationPipeline with those attachments
Store the ValidationSummary in plan.validation_summary
If required validations fail, invoke FixThenRevalidateOrchestrator.run_fix_loop()
If still failing after retries, escalate or block apply

Actual Behavior

Neither _run_execute_with_stub() nor _run_execute_with_runtime() calls ValidationPipeline.run() or run_for_plan(). The plan.validation_summary is never populated by the executor.

Code evidence (plan_executor.py):

# _fix_revalidate_orchestrator is stored but NEVER called:
self._fix_revalidate_orchestrator = fix_revalidate_orchestrator

# In _run_execute_with_stub() and _run_execute_with_runtime():
# No ValidationPipeline invocation exists anywhere in the execute flow

The apply_with_validation_gate() in PlanApplyService reads plan.validation_summary — but since it's never populated, it always sees vs = None → treats as 0 validations → always passes the gate.

Impact

v3.2.0 deliverable #11 ("Validation runner executes required and informational validations") is not met
Required validations never block plan execution
Informational validations never produce warnings
The fix-then-revalidate loop is dead code
The apply validation gate is effectively bypassed (always passes with 0 validations)

Code Location

src/cleveragents/application/services/plan_executor.py — _run_execute_with_stub() (line ~600) and _run_execute_with_runtime() (line ~530)
src/cleveragents/application/services/validation_pipeline.py — ValidationPipeline.run() and run_for_plan() (never called from executor)
src/cleveragents/application/services/fix_then_revalidate.py — FixThenRevalidateOrchestrator.run_fix_loop() (never called from executor)

Steps to Reproduce

Create a plan with a resource that has a validation attached
Run agents plan use to execute the plan
Check plan.validation_summary — it will be None
The apply gate will pass regardless of validation results

Fix Required

PlanExecutor needs to:

Accept a ValidationPipeline (or factory) and a list of ValidationAttachment objects
After the execute actor completes, run pipeline.run_for_plan(plan_metadata) to populate plan.validation_summary
If summary.required_failed > 0, call fix_revalidate_orchestrator.run_fix_loop() with appropriate callbacks
Persist the final validation_summary to the plan before completing execute

MoSCoW classification: Must Have

Rationale: This is a Priority/Critical bug — ValidationPipeline is not integrated into PlanExecutor.run_execute(). The v3.5.0 milestone explicitly requires "validation-gated apply" as an acceptance criterion. Without the ValidationPipeline running during execute, the entire validation gate is bypassed. This is a core architectural requirement per the specification.
