Background

Part of Epic #5656 (Domain Model Correctness). The Plan and Action domain models have mutable fields that should be immutable after construction. Per the specification, domain models should use frozen dataclasses or __slots__ with property-only access to prevent accidental mutation of core identity fields (ULID, name, created_at).

Current Behavior

Plan.id, Plan.created_at, Action.name, and Action.namespace can be reassigned after construction, violating domain model immutability invariants.

Expected Behavior

Core identity fields on Plan and Action are read-only after construction. Attempts to reassign them raise AttributeError or FrozenInstanceError.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Plan.id (ULID) is read-only after construction
  • Plan.created_at is read-only after construction
  • Action.name is read-only after construction
  • Action.namespace is read-only after construction
  • Mutable state fields (status, phase, etc.) remain mutable
  • Existing tests continue to pass
  • Pyright strict mode passes (no # type: ignore)
  • nox -s lint passes

Metadata

  • Branch: fix/m2/domain-model-immutability
  • Commit Message: fix(domain): enforce immutability on Plan and Action identity fields
  • Milestone: v3.2.0
  • Parent Epic: #5656

Subtasks

  • Audit Plan domain model for mutable identity fields
  • Audit Action domain model for mutable identity fields
  • Apply @property with no setter or __slots__ for identity fields

  • Write Behave scenarios verifying immutability
  • Verify Pyright strict compliance

Definition of Done

  • All subtasks completed
  • All Behave scenarios pass
  • nox passes with coverage >= 97%

## Background Part of Epic #5656 (Domain Model Correctness). The `Plan` and `Action` domain models have mutable fields that should be immutable after construction. Per the specification, domain models should use frozen dataclasses or `__slots__` with property-only access to prevent accidental mutation of core identity fields (ULID, name, created_at). ## Current Behavior `Plan.id`, `Plan.created_at`, `Action.name`, and `Action.namespace` can be reassigned after construction, violating domain model immutability invariants. ## Expected Behavior Core identity fields on `Plan` and `Action` are read-only after construction. Attempts to reassign them raise `AttributeError` or `FrozenInstanceError`. ## Acceptance Criteria - [ ] `Plan.id` (ULID) is read-only after construction - [ ] `Plan.created_at` is read-only after construction - [ ] `Action.name` is read-only after construction - [ ] `Action.namespace` is read-only after construction - [ ] Mutable state fields (status, phase, etc.) remain mutable - [ ] Existing tests continue to pass - [ ] Pyright strict mode passes (no `# type: ignore`) - [ ] `nox -s lint` passes ## Metadata - **Branch**: `fix/m2/domain-model-immutability` - **Commit Message**: `fix(domain): enforce immutability on Plan and Action identity fields` - **Milestone**: v3.2.0 - **Parent Epic**: #5656 ## Subtasks - [ ] Audit `Plan` domain model for mutable identity fields - [ ] Audit `Action` domain model for mutable identity fields - [ ] Apply `@property` with no setter or `__slots__` for identity fields - [ ] Update any tests that relied on direct field mutation - [ ] Write Behave scenarios verifying immutability - [ ] Verify Pyright strict compliance ## Definition of Done - [ ] All subtasks completed - [ ] All Behave scenarios pass - [ ] `nox` passes with coverage >= 97% - [ ] No identity fields are mutable after construction --- **Automated by CleverAgents Bot** Supervisor: Epic Planner | Agent: epic-planning-pool-supervisor

Implementation Attempt — Tier 1: haiku — Starting

Worker Tag: [AUTO-IMP-ISSUE-7553]

Starting implementation of immutability enforcement on Plan and Action domain models.

Analysis:

  • Plan uses Pydantic BaseModel with validate_assignment=True — identity fields (identity.plan_id, timestamps.created_at) are accessible but the PlanIdentity and PlanTimestamps sub-models allow reassignment
  • Action uses Pydantic BaseModelnamespaced_name.name, namespaced_name.namespace, and created_at are mutable
  • The issue specifically calls out: Plan.id (ULID), Plan.created_at, Action.name, Action.namespace

Plan:

  1. Create branch fix/m2/domain-model-immutability from master
  2. Make PlanIdentity.plan_id and PlanTimestamps.created_at read-only via model_config = ConfigDict(frozen=True) or @property approach
  3. Make Action.namespaced_name.name and Action.namespaced_name.namespace read-only
  4. Keep mutable state fields (status, phase, etc.) mutable
  5. Write Behave scenarios verifying immutability
  6. Run all quality gates

Implementation Attempt — Tier 1: haiku — Success

Worker Tag: [AUTO-IMP-ISSUE-7553]

What was implemented:

Enforced immutability on Plan and Action domain model identity fields:

  1. NamespacedName (src/cleveragents/domain/models/core/plan.py): Changed to frozen=True. name and namespace fields are now read-only after construction. Attempts to reassign raise ValidationError.

  2. PlanIdentity (src/cleveragents/domain/models/core/plan.py): Changed to frozen=True. plan_id, parent_plan_id, root_plan_id are now read-only after construction. Updated resolve_root_plan_id validator to use object.__setattr__() (required for frozen models).

  3. PlanTimestamps (src/cleveragents/domain/models/core/plan.py): Added __setattr__ override that raises AttributeError when created_at is reassigned after construction. All other timestamp fields (updated_at, strategize_started_at, etc.) remain mutable.

  4. New BDD tests: features/domain_model_immutability.feature with 17 scenarios, features/steps/domain_model_immutability_steps.py with full step implementations.

  5. CHANGELOG.md: Added entry under [Unreleased] > Fixed.

Quality gates:

  • nox -e lint: Passing
  • nox -e typecheck: Passing (0 errors, 3 pre-existing warnings)
  • nox -e unit_tests: Passing (631 features, 15,049 scenarios, 0 failures)
