Resource System — Auto-discovery on resource registration

Spec Reference

docs/specification.md §10583, §10618–10629, §24962–24964

From spec §10583:

Every resource receives a system-assigned ULID. ... The add command uses type-specific subcommands — each registered resource type (built-in or custom) provides its own subcommand with type-appropriate arguments.

From spec §10618–10629 (expected output for agents resource add git-checkout):

╭─ Auto-discovered Children ─────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ ID               Type            Status                            │

✓ OK Resource registered (395 child resources discovered)

From spec §24962:

  1. Scans the resource to identify children (e.g., a git-checkout handler creates a git child and an fs-directory child for the worktree root; a git handler lists remotes, branches, tags, commits, stashes, and submodules; ...)

Expected Behavior (from spec)

When agents resource add git-checkout local/my-repo --path /app is run:

  1. The resource is registered with a ULID
  2. Auto-discovery is triggered, creating child resources (git, fs-directory, git-remote, git-branch, etc.)
  3. The output shows an "Auto-discovered Children" panel with the discovered resources
  4. The success message includes the count of discovered children

Actual Behavior

When agents resource add git-checkout local/my-repo --path /app is run:

  1. The resource is registered with a ULID
  2. No auto-discovery occurs — no child resources are created
  3. The output shows only Added resource: local/my-repo (id: <ULID>)
  4. No "Auto-discovered Children" panel
  5. No child count in success message

Root Cause (Code Analysis)

auto_discover_children() is defined in src/cleveragents/infrastructure/database/repositories.py (line 2601) but is never called anywhere in the codebase.

# repositories.py line 2601 — defined but never called
def auto_discover_children(self, resource_id: str) -> list[Any]:
    """Materialize child resources per type auto-discovery."""
    ...

The register_resource() method in src/cleveragents/application/services/_resource_registry_ops.py (lines 73–175) creates the resource and returns it without calling any discovery method.

PR #6313 (spec fix) explicitly notes:

ResourceRegistryService.register_resource() must call the discovery helper after inserting a parent resource

Steps to Reproduce

agents resource add git-checkout local/test-repo --path /app --format json

Observe: JSON output has no children field, no auto-discovered resources created. Running agents resource list --all shows no child resources.

Code Location

  • src/cleveragents/application/services/_resource_registry_ops.py lines 73–175: register_resource() — missing call to auto_discover_children()
  • src/cleveragents/infrastructure/database/repositories.py line 2601: auto_discover_children() — defined but never called
  • src/cleveragents/cli/commands/resource.py lines 782–799: resource_add() — no auto-discovery output panel

Severity

Critical — Auto-discovery is a core feature of the Resource System. Without it:

  • git-checkout resources have no git or fs-directory children
  • Devcontainer auto-discovery (.devcontainer/devcontainer.json detection) doesn't work
  • The Resource DAG is never populated with auto-discovered nodes
  • Tools that bind to child resource types cannot resolve their bindings
