Bug Report

Summary

agents session create --format json returns a flat data structure that does not match the spec. The spec requires data.session, data.settings, and data.actor_details nested objects, but the implementation returns a flat dict with session_id, actor, namespace, messages, created, updated at the top level of data.

Spec Reference

docs/specification.md lines 1534–1562 (session create JSON output):

{
  "command": "agents session create --actor local/orchestrator",
  "status": "ok",
  "exit_code": 0,
  "data": {
    "session": {
      "id": "01HXM2A6K1P2E9Q9D4GQ7J4S7Z",
      "actor": "local/orchestrator",
      "created": "2026-02-08T12:44:00Z",
      "namespace": "local"
    },
    "settings": {
      "automation": "review",
      "streaming": "off",
      "context": "default",
      "memory": "enabled",
      "max_history": 50
    },
    "actor_details": {
      "provider": "anthropic",
      "model": "claude-3.5",
      "temperature": 0.7,
      "context_window": "200K tokens"
    }
  },
  "messages": [{ "level": "ok", "text": "Session created" }]
}

Expected Behavior

The data field should contain nested session, settings, and actor_details objects.

Actual Behavior

{
  "command": "",
  "status": "ok",
  "exit_code": 0,
  "data": {
    "session_id": "01KNT0N7FMY47TBHTVHQW14CBM",
    "actor": "local/orchestrator",
    "namespace": "local",
    "messages": 0,
    "created": "2026-04-09T20:59:06.100852",
    "updated": "2026-04-09T20:59:06.100854"
  },
  "messages": [{ "level": "ok", "text": "ok" }]
}

Issues Found

  1. data is flat instead of nested under data.session
  2. data.session_id should be data.session.id
  3. data.settings object is missing entirely
  4. data.actor_details object is missing entirely (even when --actor is specified)
  5. command field is empty string instead of the actual command

Steps to Reproduce

agents session create --actor local/orchestrator --format json

Code Location

  • src/cleveragents/cli/commands/session.py lines 207–211 — _session_summary_dict() returns a flat dict, not the nested structure the spec requires
  • src/cleveragents/cli/commands/session.py lines 207–210 — format_output(dict(data), fmt) passes the flat summary dict directly

Severity

High — Any tool or script consuming agents session create --format json will fail to parse the output correctly. The spec-required data.session.id path does not exist.

Verified — Valid UAT spec-alignment bug. This issue was previously reviewed (Signed-off: Owner, Scrum Master, Tech Lead) and assigned MoSCoW/Could have. Confirming verification. The session create JSON output uses flat dict instead of nested session/settings/actor_details structure. MoSCoW: Could Have (confirmed from prior review) — output format improvement.
