Summary

The agents project create command's non-rich output format does not match the spec. The implementation emits a flat dict built by _project_spec_dict() instead of the spec-required structured envelope with command, status, exit_code, data, timing, and messages fields, and the data object is missing three required sub-objects: paths, defaults, and resources.

Spec Reference

docs/specification.md lines 2611–2675 (agents project create JSON/YAML example).

Expected JSON output:

{
  "command": "agents project create --description \"Backend API\" local/api-service",
  "status": "ok",
  "exit_code": 0,
  "data": {
    "project": {
      "name": "local/api-service",
      "description": "Backend API",
      "type": "local",
      "created": "2026-02-08T12:46:00Z"
    },
    "paths": {
      "root": "/repos/api-service",
      "data_dir": "/repos/api-service/.cleveragents"
    },
    "defaults": {
      "sandbox": "git_worktree",
      "validations": 0,
      "context_filters": null,
      "automation_profile": null
    },
    "resources": {
      "total": 0,
      "indexed": 0,
      "sandboxable": 0
    }
  },
  "timing": { "duration_ms": 85 },
  "messages": [{ "level": "ok", "text": "Project created" }]
}

Code Location

src/cleveragents/cli/commands/project.py:

_project_spec_dict() (lines 137–168) — returns only namespaced_name, namespace, name, description, linked_resources, created_at, updated_at
create() command (lines 534–645) — line 632: data = _project_spec_dict(created); line 645: console.print(format_output(data, output_format)) — passes the flat dict directly to format_output with no envelope wrapping

Actual Behavior

The non-rich output (JSON/YAML) is a flat project dict:

{
  "namespaced_name": "local/api-service",
  "namespace": "local",
  "name": "api-service",
  "description": "Backend API",
  "linked_resources": [],
  "created_at": "2026-02-08T12:46:00Z",
  "updated_at": "2026-02-08T12:46:00Z"
}

Missing: command, status, exit_code, data.project.type, data.paths, data.defaults, data.resources, timing, messages.

Also: the rich output is missing the Paths, Defaults, and Resources panels that the spec shows (lines 2561–2579); only a single Project Created panel is shown (line 640–643).

Steps to Reproduce

Inspect project.py lines 632–645 (create command, non-rich path).

Expected vs Actual

Field	Expected	Actual
Top-level structure	`{command, status, exit_code, data, timing, messages}`	Flat project dict
`data.paths`	`{root, data_dir}`	Absent
`data.defaults`	`{sandbox, validations, context_filters, automation_profile}`	Absent
`data.resources`	`{total, indexed, sandboxable}`	Absent
Rich panels	Project / Paths / Defaults / Resources panels	Single "Project Created" panel only
