Metadata

  • Commit Message: test(e2e): workflow example 17 — explicit container with directory mount (trusted profile)
  • Branch: test/e2e-wf17-explicit-container

Background

E2E test for Specification Workflow Example 17: Explicit Container with Directory Mount. Intermediate scenario using the trusted automation profile. A team uses a custom container image (not devcontainer) with two mount styles: a resource-reference mount (rw) and a raw host-path mount (ro). The project's execution environment is set to the container with override priority. Tool invocations route to the container on plan execution.

Zero mocking — real CLI, real LLM API keys, real subprocess execution. Robot Framework test tagged @E2E.

Expected Behavior

The test registers a git-checkout resource and a container-instance resource with two --mount specifications, creates a project, sets the container as execution environment with override priority via project context set --execution-environment, executes a plan under trusted profile, and verifies tool invocations route to the container.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Robot Framework test suite tagged [Tags] E2E in robot/e2e/
  • Test registers container-instance resource with resource-ref mount (rw) and host-path mount (ro)
  • Test sets project execution environment to container with override priority
  • Test executes plan and verifies tools route to container
  • Test verifies execution environment resolved via project override (precedence level 2)
  • All invocations use real LLM API keys — no mocking, stubbing, or test doubles
  • Output validation is flexible
  • Test passes via nox -s e2e_tests

Subtasks

  • Write robot/e2e/wf17_explicit_container.robot with [Tags] E2E
  • Create container image fixture and mount directories
  • Implement explicit container workflow with dual mounts
  • Add flexible assertions for container routing and mount verification
  • Verify via nox -s e2e_tests
  • Verify coverage >=97% via nox -s coverage_report
  • Run nox (all default sessions), fix any errors

Self-QA Implementation Notes (Cycles 1–5)

PR !819 underwent 5 automated review/fix cycles before reaching approval. Below is a traceable summary of findings and fixes across all cycles.


Cycle 1 — Review: 4C/6M/6m/2n → All Fixed

Review findings:

  • 4 Critical: Missing container-instance resource registration with dual mounts (C1), missing project context set --execution-environment with override priority (C2), missing project link-resource for container (C3), no verification of container routing or execution environment precedence (C4)
  • 6 Major: Missing CHANGELOG entry, incorrect ULID regex [0-9A-Z]{26}, unchecked git return codes, missing Skip If No LLM Keys guard, hardcoded openai/gpt-4, vacuous assertions (Traceback-only)
  • 6 Minor: Missing INTERNAL error checks, unchecked git rev-parse rc, no diff output verification, missing --format flags, static resource/project names, missing workspace init
  • 2 Nits: Low plan use timeout, security note for trusted profile

Fixes applied:

  • Added container-instance resource registration with --image python:3.12-slim (CLI lacks --mount flag)
  • Added project context set --execution-environment container and plan use --execution-env-priority override
  • Added project link-resource for container resource
  • Added domain-specific assertions for container routing keywords
  • Added CHANGELOG entry, dynamic actor selection (Anthropic/OpenAI), Skip If No LLM Keys, UUID-based naming, custom WF17 Suite Setup, --format json on all commands, INTERNAL checks, Crockford Base32 ULID regex, git rc checks, diff output verification

Cycle 2 — Review: 1C/6M/5m/4n → All Fixed

Review findings:

  • 1 Critical: Container routing assertion computed via Evaluate but never asserted (Should Be True missing)
  • 6 Major: Assertion expression near-tautological ('execution' fallback), missing --mount documentation, wrong precedence level documented, missing output content assertions, no terminal state assertion, LLM calls lack graceful error handling
  • 5 Minor: --execution-environment uses enum not resource name, missing timeout/on_timeout on git calls, fragile regex plan ID extraction, misleading CHANGELOG, unused fixture files

Fixes applied:

  • Added Should Be True ${has_container_ref} assertion
  • Removed tautological 'execution' in $combined_lower fallback
  • Added WARN log for --mount gap, corrected precedence level documentation
  • Added Output Should Contain for project create, link-resource, action create, lifecycle-apply
  • Added terminal state check via Safe Parse Json Field for phase/processing_state
  • Implemented expected_rc=None with explicit Fail for LLM-dependent commands
  • Replaced regex with Safe Parse Json Field for plan ID, added git timeouts, corrected CHANGELOG, simplified fixtures

Cycle 3 — Review: 0C/3M/8m/6n → All Fixed + 3 Bug Tickets Created

Review findings:

  • 3 Major: Terminal state assertion near-tautological (accepts any non-empty phase), container routing assertion near-tautological ('container' guaranteed in output), multiple ACs unmet without follow-up tracking
  • 8 Minor: Redundant empty commit, PR claims ULID regex but none exists, redundant --execution-environment at both levels, no post-apply verification, missing spec divergence comment, undocumented 300s timeout, ambiguous override docs, tight test timeout

Fixes applied:

  • Tightened terminal state: Should Contain ${final_phase.lower()} apply matching M6 pattern
  • Replaced tautological container assertion with honest documentation block
  • Created 3 bug tickets: #1078 (--mount flag), #1079 (--execution-env-priority on project context set), #1080 (precedence level 2 resolution)
  • Added 3 TDD expected-fail test cases with proper three-tag structure
  • Added ULID regex validation ^[0-9A-HJ-NP-Z]{26}$, project context show verification, post-apply git log, quoted YAML values, UUID action filename, 20-min test timeout
  • Updated CHANGELOG with TDD tests mention

Cycle 4 — Review: 0C/5M/6m/4n → All Fixed + AC#4 Verified

Review findings:

  • 5 Major: ULID regex still wrong (accepts L and U), post-apply git log has zero assertions, project context show non-asserting, AC #4 claimed "Met" without verification, spec divergence tracked under wrong issue
  • 6 Minor: TDD tests depend on main test side effects, unnecessary Skip If No LLM Keys in TDD tests, container routing gap untracked, CHANGELOG omits TDD tests, spec resource linking divergence

Fixes applied:

  • Corrected ULID regex to canonical ^[0-9A-HJKMNP-TV-Z]{26}$
  • Redesigned post-apply: captures HEAD SHA before/after, renamed to "observation (informational)"
  • Added Safe Parse Json Field for execution_environment in context show with null-safe guard
  • Breakthrough: Discovered execution_environment field IS present in plan status JSON — AC #4 now genuinely verified via Should Be Equal As Strings ${exec_env.lower()} container
  • Made TDD tests fully self-contained with own resources/projects
  • Removed unnecessary Skip If No LLM Keys from CLI-only TDD tests
  • Changed to spec-aligned separate project link-resource calls
  • Updated CHANGELOG and corrected issue tracking references

Cycle 5 — Review: APPROVED (0C/0M/5m/5n)

Remaining minor items (non-blocking):

  • 2 tracking issues recommended (enum-vs-resource-name divergence, CLI-level routing indicators)
  • Pre-apply git rev-parse lacks rc check (defensive hardening)
  • Safe Parse Json Field could return None for null JSON values (edge case)
  • --image flag not in specification's container-specific flags list

Implementation Notes — PR Fix Round (2026-03-30)

Rebased the feature branch onto latest master (picking up commits 2651e158 fix(cli) and d24959e9 test(e2e) WF12) and fixed all broken E2E tests. Four fixes applied:

Fix 1: Missing --yes flag on plan lifecycle-apply (main test failure)

  • Root cause: The lifecycle-apply CLI command now includes a confirmation prompt (Apply changes for plan ...? [y/N]). When run non-interactively (stdin piped), the prompt defaults to "N" and exits with rc=1.
  • Fix: Added --yes flag to the lifecycle-apply call in WF17 Explicit Container With Directory Mount Trusted Profile, matching the pattern used by all other E2E tests (m2_acceptance.robot, m6_acceptance.robot, wf04_multi_project.robot, wf05_db_migration.robot, wf12_hierarchical.robot).
  • Location: robot/e2e/wf17_explicit_container.robot, Run CleverAgents Command for plan lifecycle-apply.

Fix 2-4: Incorrect TDD tag format (3 TDD test failures)

  • Root cause: Tests used tdd_bug / tdd_bug_<N> tags instead of the project-standard tdd_issue / tdd_issue_<N> tags required by CONTRIBUTING.md > TDD Issue Test Tags. The tdd_expected_fail_listener.py validates tag format and rejects non-conforming tags.
  • Fix: Changed tdd_bugtdd_issue and tdd_bug_<N>tdd_issue_<N> on all three TDD tests.

Additional Fix: Dual mount registration regression guard (bug #1078 now fixed)

  • Root cause: The WF17 TDD Dual Mount Registration test was tagged tdd_expected_fail, but the underlying bug #1078 has been fixed (the --mount flag is now implemented on resource add container-instance). The tdd_expected_fail_listener inverts passing tests to failures with the message "Bug appears to be fixed."
  • Fix: Removed tdd_expected_fail from the test, keeping tdd_issue + tdd_issue_1078 as permanent regression guard tags. Updated documentation comment to reflect the fix.
