Background and Context

The specification mandates that all JSON/YAML output produced by the CLI must be wrapped in an envelope containing command, status, exit_code, data, timing, and messages fields. The command field must contain the name of the CLI command that produced the output (e.g., "config set", "config get", "config list").

Current Behavior

When running agents config set, agents config get, or agents config list with --format json or --format yaml, the command field in the output envelope is always an empty string:

{
  "command": "",
  "status": "ok",
  "exit_code": 0,
  "data": { ... },
  ...
}

Expected Behavior (from spec)

Per the specification (§agents config set, §agents config get, §agents config list):

{
  "command": "config set",
  "status": "ok",
  "exit_code": 0,
  ...
}

{
  "command": "config get",
  "status": "ok",
  ...
}

{
  "command": "config list",
  "status": "ok",
  ...
}

Root Cause (Code Analysis)

In src/cleveragents/cli/commands/config.py, all three config commands call format_output(result, fmt) without passing the required command= keyword argument:

Line 275 (config_set): typer.echo(format_output(result, fmt)) — missing command="config set"
Line 344 (config_get): typer.echo(format_output(result, fmt)) — missing command="config get"
Line 468 and 539 (config_list): typer.echo(format_output(settings_list, fmt)) — missing command="config list"

The format_output() function signature defaults command="" when not provided, causing the empty command field.

Note: A similar bug was reported for version, info, and diagnostics commands in issue #6791, but this instance is separate and affects the entire config command group.

Steps to Reproduce

agents config set core.format rich --format json
agents config get core.format --format json
agents config list --format json

Acceptance Criteria

agents config set --format json output has "command": "config set" in the envelope
agents config get --format json output has "command": "config get" in the envelope
agents config list --format json output has "command": "config list" in the envelope
Same fix applies to --format yaml

## Background and Context The specification mandates that all JSON/YAML output produced by the CLI must be wrapped in an envelope containing `command`, `status`, `exit_code`, `data`, `timing`, and `messages` fields. The `command` field must contain the name of the CLI command that produced the output (e.g., `"config set"`, `"config get"`, `"config list"`). ## Current Behavior When running `agents config set`, `agents config get`, or `agents config list` with `--format json` or `--format yaml`, the `command` field in the output envelope is always an empty string: ```json { "command": "", "status": "ok", "exit_code": 0, "data": { ... }, ... } ``` ## Expected Behavior (from spec) Per the specification (§agents config set, §agents config get, §agents config list): ```json { "command": "config set", "status": "ok", "exit_code": 0, ... } ``` ```json { "command": "config get", "status": "ok", ... } ``` ```json { "command": "config list", "status": "ok", ... } ``` ## Root Cause (Code Analysis) In `src/cleveragents/cli/commands/config.py`, all three config commands call `format_output(result, fmt)` without passing the required `command=` keyword argument: - Line 275 (`config_set`): `typer.echo(format_output(result, fmt))` — missing `command="config set"` - Line 344 (`config_get`): `typer.echo(format_output(result, fmt))` — missing `command="config get"` - Line 468 and 539 (`config_list`): `typer.echo(format_output(settings_list, fmt))` — missing `command="config list"` The `format_output()` function signature defaults `command=""` when not provided, causing the empty `command` field.
