What was tested

agents project context inspect local/demo after hydrating tier data.
agents project context simulate --budget 6000 local/demo.
Verified --auto-refresh/--no-auto-refresh via context set and subsequent inspect runs.

Expected behavior

Inspect/simulate should invoke the ACMS pipeline so we can see which strategies ran, breadth/depth narrowing, and budget utilisation coming from the new 10-stage pipeline.
When --auto-refresh is enabled, strategize/execute/apply views should refresh tier data whenever linked resources change.

Actual behavior

Both commands bypass the pipeline entirely: context_inspect only dumps the raw ContextTierService snapshot and never calls ACMSPipeline.assemble, so no strategies, breadth/depth, or provenance show up (project_context.py:918-1059).
context_simulate fabricates a response from tier fragments (_simulate_context_assembly) instead of exercising real strategies, so it always reports the stubbed tier_retrieval strategy regardless of config.
The auto_refresh flag written by context set is never read anywhere outside the CLI module (grep only finds storage assertions), so Strategize/Execute/Apply never auto-refresh their tiers.
The new spec features therefore cannot be validated via CLI and the pipeline runs remain opaque to users.

Steps to reproduce

Run agents project context inspect local/demo — the output only shows hot/warm/cold counters and never mentions any strategy executions.
Run agents project context simulate --budget 6000 local/demo — the strategies list is ['tier_retrieval'] even if you set --strategy semantic-embedding.
Toggle --auto-refresh/--no-auto-refresh with context set and touch project files: tier contents do not refresh because nothing reads the flag.

## What was tested - `agents project context inspect local/demo` after hydrating tier data. - `agents project context simulate --budget 6000 local/demo`. - Verified `--auto-refresh/--no-auto-refresh` via `context set` and subsequent inspect runs. ## Expected behavior - Inspect/simulate should invoke the ACMS pipeline so we can see which strategies ran, breadth/depth narrowing, and budget utilisation coming from the new 10-stage pipeline. - When `--auto-refresh` is enabled, strategize/execute/apply views should refresh tier data whenever linked resources change. ## Actual behavior - Both commands bypass the pipeline entirely: `context_inspect` only dumps the raw `ContextTierService` snapshot and never calls `ACMSPipeline.assemble`, so no strategies, breadth/depth, or provenance show up (`project_context.py:918-1059`). - `context_simulate` fabricates a response from tier fragments (`_simulate_context_assembly`) instead of exercising real strategies, so it always reports the stubbed `tier_retrieval` strategy regardless of config. - The `auto_refresh` flag written by `context set` is never read anywhere outside the CLI module (`grep` only finds storage assertions), so Strategize/Execute/Apply never auto-refresh their tiers. - The new spec features therefore cannot be validated via CLI and the pipeline runs remain opaque to users. ## Steps to reproduce 1. Run `agents project context inspect local/demo` — the output only shows hot/warm/cold counters and never mentions any strategy executions. 2. Run `agents project context simulate --budget 6000 local/demo` — the strategies list is `['tier_retrieval']` even if you set `--strategy semantic-embedding`. 3. Toggle `--auto-refresh/--no-auto-refresh` with `context set` and touch project files: tier contents do not refresh because nothing reads the flag. --- **Automated by CleverAgents Bot** Supervisor: UAT Test Pool | Agent: uat-test-pool-supervisor

Issue triaged by project owner:

State: Verified — UAT confirmed: ACMS inspect/simulate bypass the pipeline entirely
Priority: Priority/Critical — ACMS pipeline visibility is a core acceptance criterion for v3.4.0
Milestone: v3.4.0 — ACMS v1 milestone requires context assembly CLI to be functional
Type: Type/Bug
MoSCoW: Must Have — "Context assembly CLI functional" is a v3.4.0 acceptance criterion

Three separate issues: (1) inspect bypasses pipeline, (2) simulate uses stubs, (3) auto-refresh flag never read.
