Feature Area

Resource System — agents resource list --type regex filtering

Spec Reference

docs/specification.md §11041 (agents resource list arguments)

From spec §11041:

--type/-t TYPE: Filter by resource type (accepts a regex).

Expected Behavior (from spec)

agents resource list --type "git.*" should return all resources whose type matches the regex git.* — i.e., all git-checkout, git, git-remote, git-branch, git-commit, git-tree, git-tree-entry, git-stash, git-submodule, git-tag resources.

Actual Behavior

Running agents resource list --type "git.*" returns:

No resources found.

The implementation treats --type as an exact type name (with subtype matching via ADR-042 inheritance), not as a regex. The value "git.*" is passed to service.list_resources(type_name="git.*") which looks for a type named literally "git.*" — which doesn't exist.

Running agents resource list --type "git-checkout" works correctly (returns git-checkout resources).

Root Cause (Code Analysis)

src/cleveragents/cli/commands/resource.py line 848–851:

resources = service.list_resources(
    type_name=type_filter,
    include_auto_discovered=show_all,
)

The type_filter is passed directly to list_resources() as an exact type name. There is no regex compilation or matching against type names.

src/cleveragents/application/services/_resource_registry_ops.py lines 200–209:

if type_name is not None:
    if exact:
        query = query.filter_by(type_name=type_name)
    else:
        # ADR-042: polymorphic listing — include subtypes
        registry = self._load_type_registry()
        subtypes = find_subtypes(type_name, registry)
        all_types = [type_name, *subtypes]
        query = query.filter(ResourceModel.type_name.in_(all_types))

This does subtype matching (ADR-042 polymorphism) but not regex matching.

Steps to Reproduce

# Should return all git-* resources but returns nothing
agents resource list --type "git.*"

# Should return all physical resources but returns nothing
agents resource list --type "physical"

# This works (exact match + subtypes)
agents resource list --type "git-checkout"

Code Location

src/cleveragents/cli/commands/resource.py lines 817–912: resource_list() — no regex compilation for --type
src/cleveragents/application/services/_resource_registry_ops.py lines 177–216: list_resources() — no regex support

Severity

Medium — users cannot filter resources by type pattern (e.g., git.* to see all git-related resources). The spec explicitly says the --type option accepts a regex.
