Bug Report

Feature Area: Container Tool Execution
Severity: Critical — blocks all container tool execution
Found by: UAT Testing (container-tool-execution worker)


What Was Tested

Code-level analysis of ContainerToolExecutor._build_exec_command() in src/cleveragents/tool/container_executor.py against the container tool execution specification.

Expected Behavior (from spec/implementation)

The ContainerToolExecutor builds a devcontainer exec command that invokes cleveragents-tool-exec inside the container to execute tools:

# container_executor.py line 456
f"timeout {int(container_timeout)} cleveragents-tool-exec "
+ shlex.quote(tool_name)

This assumes cleveragents-tool-exec is an installed binary available on the container's PATH.

Actual Behavior

pyproject.toml only registers two entry points:

[project.scripts]
cleveragents = "cleveragents.cli:main"
agents = "cleveragents.cli:main"

There is no cleveragents-tool-exec entry point registered. When ContainerToolExecutor attempts to run a tool inside a container, the devcontainer exec command will fail with:

sh: cleveragents-tool-exec: not found

This means all container tool execution is broken at runtime — every call to execute_tool() that reaches the container path will return a non-zero exit code failure.

Code Location

  • src/cleveragents/tool/container_executor.py line 456 — references cleveragents-tool-exec
  • pyproject.toml lines 105-107 — missing cleveragents-tool-exec entry point

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Register a container-instance resource
  2. Configure a project with --execution-environment pointing to the container
  3. Execute a plan that invokes any tool
  4. Observe: ContainerToolExecutor calls devcontainer exec ... cleveragents-tool-exec <tool_name> which fails with "not found"

Impact

All container-routed tool execution is non-functional. This blocks the entire container tool execution feature area.

Issue triaged by project owner:

  • State: Verified
  • Priority: Critical — The cleveragents-tool-exec binary is not registered as an entry point in pyproject.toml. This means container tool execution fails at runtime for ALL users — the feature is completely non-functional as shipped.
  • Milestone: v3.5.0 — Container tool execution is a v3.5.0 (Autonomy Hardening) deliverable. This is a packaging/deployment bug that must be fixed before any container tool execution can work.
  • Story Points: 3 — M — Adding the entry point to pyproject.toml is straightforward, but requires verifying the binary exists and the full execution path works end-to-end.
  • MoSCoW: Must Have — Container tool execution is a core feature of the autonomy hardening milestone. Without the entry point, the feature is dead on arrival.
  • Parent Epic: Needs linking to the Container/Sandbox epic under Legendary #375.
