Summary

agents session create --format json does not emit the spec-required structure. The JSON envelope is missing the command string, and the data payload only contains a flat summary instead of the documented session, settings, and actor_details sections. The default messages entry is also just "ok" rather than "Session created".

Steps to Reproduce

Ensure the CLI is configured (e.g., run agents init).
Run agents session create --format json --actor local/orchestrator.

Expected Result

Based on docs/specification.md (§agents session create, lines 1462-1593), the JSON output should follow the documented envelope:

command == the exact CLI invocation.
messages[0].text == "Session created".
data contains nested session, settings, and actor_details objects matching the spec example.

Actual Result

The emitted JSON looks like:

{
  "command": "",
  "status": "ok",
  "exit_code": 0,
  "data": {
    "session_id": "01H...",
    "actor": "local/orchestrator",
    "namespace": "local",
    "messages": 0,
    "created": "2026-04-09T12:34:56.789Z",
    "updated": "2026-04-09T12:34:56.789Z"
  },
  "timing": {"duration_ms": 12},
  "messages": [{"level": "ok", "text": "ok"}]
}

(Structure inferred from src/cleveragents/cli/commands/session.py lines 172-244 and format_output implementation.)

Key differences:

command is blank and messages[0].text is just "ok" because the CLI never passes the executed command string to format_output.
The data payload is only the _session_summary_dict output and lacks the documented session, settings, and actor_details sections.

Additional Notes

Other machine-readable session commands call format_output the same way, so agents session list/show ... --format json|yaml also miss their spec-required sections and messages.

## Summary `agents session create --format json` does not emit the spec-required structure. The JSON envelope is missing the `command` string, and the `data` payload only contains a flat summary instead of the documented `session`, `settings`, and `actor_details` sections. The default `messages` entry is also just `"ok"` rather than `"Session created"`. ## Steps to Reproduce 1. Ensure the CLI is configured (e.g., run `agents init`). 2. Run `agents session create --format json --actor local/orchestrator`. ## Expected Result Based on docs/specification.md (§agents session create, lines 1462-1593), the JSON output should follow the documented envelope: - `command` == the exact CLI invocation. - `messages[0].text` == "Session created". - `data` contains nested `session`, `settings`, and `actor_details` objects matching the spec example. ## Actual Result The emitted JSON looks like: ```json { "command": "", "status": "ok", "exit_code": 0, "data": { "session_id": "01H...", "actor": "local/orchestrator", "namespace": "local", "messages": 0, "created": "2026-04-09T12:34:56.789Z", "updated": "2026-04-09T12:34:56.789Z" }, "timing": {"duration_ms": 12}, "messages": [{"level": "ok", "text": "ok"}] } ``` (Structure inferred from `src/cleveragents/cli/commands/session.py` lines 172-244 and `format_output` implementation.)
