Background and Context

agents plan list is the primary way to query plans. The --format json output is used by scripts to monitor running plans and filter by phase/state/project. The spec defines a precise envelope with filters and summary objects.

Current Behavior

Code at src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py lines 3002–3006:

# Non-rich formats
if fmt != OutputFormat.RICH.value:
    data = [_plan_spec_dict(p) for p in plans]
    console.print(format_output(data, fmt))
    return

This outputs a raw Python list [{...}, {...}] — no wrapper object, no filters, no summary, no command/status/timing envelope.

Additionally, each plan entry in the list uses _plan_spec_dict() which has wrong field names vs spec:

Uses processing_state instead of state
Uses project_links array instead of project
Uses action_name instead of action
Uses created_at/updated_at instead of created/updated
Missing elapsed field

Expected Behavior

Per spec §agents plan list (JSON example §12183–12213):

{
  "command": "plan list",
  "status": "ok",
  "exit_code": 0,
  "data": {
    "plans": [
      {
        "id": "01HXM7A9",
        "phase": "execute",
        "state": "processing",
        "action": "local/code-coverage",
        "project": "local/api-service",
        "elapsed": "00:01:12"
      }
    ],
    "filters": {
      "phase": "execute",
      "state": null,
      "project": null,
      "action": null
    },
    "summary": {
      "total": 1,
      "processing": 1,
      "completed": 0,
      "errored": 0
    }
  },
  "timing": { "started": "2026-02-09T14:30:00Z", "duration_ms": 95 },
  "messages": ["1 plan listed"]
}

Missing from current implementation:

Top-level envelope: command, status, exit_code, timing, messages
data wrapper object (currently returns bare list)
data.filters object with phase, state, project, action keys
data.summary object with total, processing, completed, errored keys
Each plan entry uses wrong field names (processing_state, project_links, action_name, created_at/updated_at)
Each plan entry missing id, elapsed fields
When no filter is active, filters object should still appear with null values (per §12182 example with --project filter)

Acceptance Criteria

agents plan list --format json returns an object (not a list) with command, status, exit_code, data, timing, messages
data.plans is the array of plan entries
Each plan entry has id, phase, state, action, project, elapsed fields
data.filters reflects the active filter values (null when not set)
data.summary has total, processing, completed, errored counts
When filtered by project (e.g. --project local/web-app), data.total appears at the data level (per §12424–12448 example)

Supporting Information

Spec reference: §agents plan list, JSON examples at lines 12183–12213, 12302–12324, 12424–12448
Code location: src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py lines 3002–3006 (lifecycle_list_plans)
Note: The rich-format code (lines 3094–3114) correctly computes processing/completed/errored counts but this logic is not shared with the JSON output path

Issue triaged by project owner:

State: Verified
Priority: High — JSON output format non-compliance breaks all automated tooling and scripting. The spec defines a precise envelope structure that must be followed.
Milestone: v3.4.0 — Plan list/status/cancel/use are M5 features
MoSCoW: Must Have — Per policy, all bugs are Must Have. JSON format compliance is required for the A2A protocol integration.

This is part of a batch of related format compliance bugs (#6860, #6863, #6864, #6865) — all plan command JSON output needs to be brought into spec compliance.
