Bug Report

Detected by: UAT Test Pool Supervisor (Cycle 33)
PR Triggering Test: #4220 (docs: add actor context management showcase)
File: docs/showcase/cli-tools/actor-context-management.md
Feature Area: Actors — Actor Context Management

Description

The showcase documentation (Steps 1, 9, and Key Takeaways) claims that YAML import is not supported and raises a json.JSONDecodeError:

"Attempting to import a YAML file will raise a json.JSONDecodeError"
"Import currently supports only JSON exports."

This is factually incorrect. The source code (actor_context.py, lines 385–392) explicitly handles .yaml/.yml input with yaml.safe_load, making YAML import fully supported at the implementation level.

Expected Behavior (per spec + implementation)

  • agents actor context import --input context.yaml should work correctly
  • The --input/-i FILE parameter accepts both JSON and YAML files
  • No json.JSONDecodeError should be raised for valid YAML input

Actual Behavior (per showcase documentation)

The showcase incorrectly states YAML import is unsupported and will raise json.JSONDecodeError.

Impact

Users reading the showcase will believe YAML import is broken and avoid using it, even though it works correctly. This is a documentation accuracy bug that misleads users.

Fix

Update the showcase to:

  1. Remove the claim that YAML import is unsupported
  2. Add an example showing YAML import working correctly
  3. Update the Key Takeaways section to reflect both JSON and YAML support
