Proposal: Update Specification — Full ULID Display in plan tree

What Changed in the Implementation

Merged PR #6571 (fix(cli): display full ULIDs in plan tree output for CLI usability, merged 2026-04-10) changed the agents plan tree command output format:

Full ULIDs displayed — Decision IDs are now shown as full 26-character ULIDs (e.g., 01KNRTNXYZ1234567890ABCDEF) instead of truncated 8-character prefixes (e.g., 01KNRTNX).
Table column width — The ID column in table format was widened from 8 to 26 characters.
New "Decision IDs (for correction)" section — Both rich and plain text formats now include a dedicated section listing all decision ULIDs with human-readable labels, making them copy-paste-ready for use in agents plan correct <DECISION_ID>.
Helper function — _get_decision_label() generates appropriate labels based on decision type.

What Spec Sections Need Updating

`agents plan tree` output examples

The specification documents agents plan tree output examples. These examples currently show truncated 8-character decision IDs. They should be updated to show full 26-character ULIDs.

Current spec examples (wherever agents plan tree output is shown):

┌─ Decision Tree: plan-01KNRTNX...
│  ├─ [01KNRTNX] Strategize: ...
│  └─ [01KNRTNY] Execute: ...

Proposed spec examples:

┌─ Decision Tree: plan-01KNRTNXYZ1234567890ABCDEF
│  ├─ [01KNRTNXYZ1234567890ABCDEF] Strategize: ...
│  └─ [01KNRTNYAB1234567890ABCDEF] Execute: ...

Decision IDs (for correction):
  Strategize (initial): 01KNRTNXYZ1234567890ABCDEF
  Execute (initial):    01KNRTNYAB1234567890ABCDEF

`agents plan tree` argument/behavior description

The spec should note that decision IDs in the tree output are full 26-character ULIDs that can be used directly in agents plan correct <DECISION_ID> without modification.

Rationale

This is an implementation improvement over the spec — the truncated 8-character display was a usability bug (users could not use displayed IDs in follow-up commands). The full ULID display is the correct behavior. The spec should document the actual output format.

Classification

Minor spec update — documents existing implemented behavior. No architectural changes.

Scope

Spec sections affected:

### agents plan tree — output examples (update truncated IDs to full ULIDs)
### agents plan tree — behavior description (add note about copy-paste-ready IDs)

Issue triaged by project owner:

State: Verified
Priority: Medium — spec update to reflect merged implementation change; important for documentation accuracy
Milestone: v3.2.0 — plan tree ULID display is an M3 feature (plan tree rendering is an M3 acceptance criterion)
Story Points: 2 — S — update spec examples and output format documentation
MoSCoW: Should Have — spec accuracy is important but does not block M3 functionality

PR #6571 already merged the implementation. This issue tracks the corresponding spec update to keep documentation in sync.

Architecture Review — No Spec Update Needed

After reviewing the current docs/specification.md, the spec already documents the correct behavior:

Full 26-character ULIDs are already used throughout the spec examples (e.g., 01HXM8C2ZK4Q7C2B3F2R4VYV6J, 01HXM9A1C2Q7W3R5G8Z0P4Q1X9).
"Decision IDs (for correction)" panel is already present in the agents plan tree output examples (see spec lines ~14367–14376), showing full ULIDs for each decision type with copy-paste-ready labels.
The tree nodes display decision types (e.g., [prompt_definition], [strategy_choice]) rather than IDs — this is intentional for readability. The full IDs are in the dedicated panel below.

The implementation in PR #6571 appears to already match the spec. No spec update is required.

Closing this issue as the spec is already correct.
