Summary

The agents project context set --view <phase> command correctly stores the resource/path include/exclude filters per-view (in ProjectContextPolicy.strategize_view, etc.), but the ACMS pipeline configuration (hot_max_tokens, warm_max_decisions, cold_max_decisions, strategies, default_breadth, default_depth, etc.) is stored in a single global acms_config dict regardless of which --view is specified. This means different views cannot have different ACMS pipeline configurations.

Expected Behavior (per spec)

From docs/specification.md line 3740:

Manage ACMS context policies for the hot/warm/cold tiers, per-view context selection, strategy configuration, UKO depth/breadth parameters, and context budget tuning.

The spec CLI synopsis shows --hot-max-tokens, --strategy, --default-breadth, --default-depth as options on agents project context set [--view ...], implying these should be configurable per-view. For example, the strategize view might need a larger hot-max-tokens budget than the execute view.

Actual Behavior

In src/cleveragents/cli/commands/project_context.py, the context_set() function:

Reads the policy with _read_policy() — correctly per-view
Reads the ACMS config with _read_acms_config() — single global dict
Updates the ACMS config dict regardless of --view value
Writes back with _write_policy() — stores acms_config as a single top-level key

The _read_acms_config() function reads raw.get("acms_config", _default_acms_config()) — a single flat dict, not per-view.

Consequently:

agents project context set --view strategize --hot-max-tokens 16000 sets hot_max_tokens globally
agents project context set --view execute --hot-max-tokens 8000 overwrites the strategize setting
There is no way to have strategize use 16000 tokens and execute use 8000 tokens

Code Location

src/cleveragents/cli/commands/project_context.py:
- _read_acms_config() (line ~130) — reads single global acms_config key
- _write_policy() (line ~160) — stores single acms_config key
- context_set() (line ~396) — updates global acms_config regardless of --view

Fix Required

Store ACMS config per-view: acms_config_strategize, acms_config_execute, acms_config_apply, acms_config_default (or nest under acms_config.views.<phase>). The _read_acms_config() and _write_policy() helpers need to be view-aware.

## Summary The `agents project context set --view <phase>` command correctly stores the resource/path include/exclude filters per-view (in `ProjectContextPolicy.strategize_view`, etc.), but the ACMS pipeline configuration (`hot_max_tokens`, `warm_max_decisions`, `cold_max_decisions`, `strategies`, `default_breadth`, `default_depth`, etc.) is stored in a **single global `acms_config` dict** regardless of which `--view` is specified. This means different views cannot have different ACMS pipeline configurations. ## Expected Behavior (per spec) From `docs/specification.md` line 3740: > Manage ACMS context policies for the hot/warm/cold tiers, **per-view context selection**, strategy configuration, UKO depth/breadth parameters, and context budget tuning. The spec CLI synopsis shows `--hot-max-tokens`, `--strategy`, `--default-breadth`, `--default-depth` as options on `agents project context set [--view ...]`, implying these should be configurable per-view. For example, the strategize view might need a larger hot-max-tokens budget than the execute view. ## Actual Behavior In `src/cleveragents/cli/commands/project_context.py`, the `context_set()` function: 1. Reads the policy with `_read_policy()` — correctly per-view 2. Reads the ACMS config with `_read_acms_config()` — **single global dict** 3. Updates the ACMS config dict regardless of `--view` value 4. Writes back with `_write_policy()` — stores `acms_config` as a single top-level key The `_read_acms_config()` function reads `raw.get("acms_config", _default_acms_config())` — a single flat dict, not per-view. Consequently: - `agents project context set --view strategize --hot-max-tokens 16000` sets hot_max_tokens globally - `agents project context set --view execute --hot-max-tokens 8000` overwrites the strategize setting - There is no way to have strategize use 16000 tokens and execute use 8000 tokens ## Code Location - `src/cleveragents/cli/commands/project_context.py`: - `_read_acms_config()` (line ~130) — reads single global `acms_config` key - `_write_policy()` (line ~160) — stores single `acms_config` key - `context_set()` (line ~396) — updates global acms_config regardless of `--view` ## Fix Required Store ACMS config per-view: `acms_config_strategize`, `acms_config_execute`, `acms_config_apply`, `acms_config_default` (or nest under `acms_config.views.<phase>`).
