Summary

E2E acceptance test for M3 (v3.2.0) — decisions, validations, and invariants. Extends M2 with plan explain, plan correct (revert mode), and invariant management.

Closes #743

ISSUES CLOSED: #743

Manual Verification

Prerequisites

  • OPENAI_API_KEY or GEMINI_API_KEY environment variable set

Commands

# 1-6. Same init/resource/project/action/plan-use flow as M1
REPO=$(mktemp -d) && cd "$REPO" && git init && git checkout -b main
echo "def greet(): return 'hello'" > main.py && git add . && git commit -m "init"
WORKDIR=$(mktemp -d) && cd "$WORKDIR"
python -m cleveragents init --yes --force
python -m cleveragents resource add git-checkout "$REPO"
python -m cleveragents project create my-project
python -m cleveragents action create --config action.yaml
python -m cleveragents plan use fix-greeting

# 7. Execute strategize
python -m cleveragents plan execute PLAN_ID

# 8. Explain a decision (M3-specific)
python -m cleveragents plan explain --format plain PLAN_ID
# → Look for: decision details, reasoning, alternatives considered

# 9. Correct with revert mode (M3-specific)
python -m cleveragents plan correct --mode revert --guidance "Use a different approach" --yes PLAN_ID
# → Look for: correction acknowledged, re-execution from decision point

# 10. Execute implementation
python -m cleveragents plan execute PLAN_ID

# 11. Review and apply
python -m cleveragents plan diff PLAN_ID
python -m cleveragents plan lifecycle-apply PLAN_ID

What to Look For

  • plan explain outputs decision reasoning (not empty)
  • plan correct --mode revert completes without Traceback
  • The full plan lifecycle completes after correction
  • No Traceback in any command's stderr

Add robot/e2e/m3_acceptance.robot exercising the full M3 feature set:

  - Decision recording during plan execution
  - Decision tree visualization (plan tree)
  - Decision explanation (plan explain)
  - Invariant management (invariant add/list)
  - Decision correction (plan correct --mode=revert)

Zero mocking — all CLI invocations use real LLM API keys.
Follows existing E2E patterns (common_e2e.resource, Skip If No LLM Keys).

PM Review — Day 34

Status: Mergeable, 0 reviews, M3 (v3.2.0)
Closes: #744 | Author: @freemo

Review Summary

Well-structured E2E acceptance test for M3 covering: init, resource/project creation, invariant management, action creation, plan lifecycle (strategize → execute → correct → apply), plan tree/explain, and final status. Follows established Robot Framework patterns with common_e2e.resource.

Issues

[NON-BLOCKING] Code duplicationExtract Plan Id keyword is duplicated across PRs #799, #800, #801, #802. Should be refactored to common_e2e.resource to prevent drift. This can be a follow-up.

Merge Order Note

This is the base M3 acceptance test. Should merge after PR #710 (CI key config) so CI can actually run it.

InvariantService uses in-memory storage only — invariants added via
`invariant add` are lost when the CLI process exits. The M3 E2E test
correctly catches this as a persistence failure at the `invariant list`
step. Invariant persistence is a v3.4.0 deliverable (not M3 scope).

Tagged with tdd_bug, tdd_bug_1022, tdd_expected_fail per TDD bug-capture
workflow (CONTRIBUTING.md). The listener inverts the result so the test
passes CI while the bug is unfixed.

PR #799 — M3 E2E Acceptance Review

Summary

Test-only PR adding m3_acceptance.robot (196 lines) and refactoring Extract Plan Id into common_e2e.resource. Also touches m1_acceptance.robot (removes local keyword) and m2_acceptance.robot (uses new shared keyword). Scope is clean — no production code modified.


P1 — Missing Skip If No LLM Keys guard

Files: robot/e2e/m3_acceptance.robot

The test makes real LLM calls (openai/gpt-4) but never calls Skip If No LLM Keys (available in common_e2e.resource). CI runs without OPENAI_API_KEY get a hard FAIL instead of a graceful skip. M6 uses this consistently on every LLM-dependent test case. M3 should do the same.

Fix: Add Skip If No LLM Keys as the first line of the test case body (or as a Test Setup).


P1 — Missing test-level [Timeout]

File: robot/e2e/m3_acceptance.robot

Individual Run CleverAgents Command calls have timeout=300s, but there is no overall [Timeout] on the test case. If multiple steps each approach their 300s limit, the test could run for 20+ minutes without aborting. M4 correctly sets [Timeout] 15 minutes.

Fix: Add [Timeout] 15 minutes (or similar) to the test case header.


P1 — Weak assertions: "no crash" rather than acceptance criteria verification

File: robot/e2e/m3_acceptance.robot

Several steps rely almost entirely on Should Not Contain ... Traceback / Should Not Contain ... INTERNAL without verifying the acceptance criteria:

  • Step 9 (plan explain): No assertion on the explain output at all — just checks for no Traceback. The M3 milestone AC says "plan explain shows decision details including alternatives considered." At minimum, assert Should Not Be Empty ${r_explain.stdout} and check for a keyword like decision or reasoning.
  • Step 11 (plan correct --mode revert): Only checks no Traceback/INTERNAL. Should assert Should Not Be Empty ${r_correct.stdout} and verify revert-specific output (e.g., the word revert or correction).
  • Step 14 (final status): Checks Should Not Be Empty but doesn't verify the plan reached a terminal phase. M4 does this correctly with Should Match Regexp ... "phase".

The milestone AC states: "plan explain shows decision details," "plan correct --mode=revert re-executes from targeted decision point." The current test would pass on empty stdout with rc=0.


P2 — Extract Plan Id ULID regex broadened from Crockford Base32

File: robot/e2e/common_e2e.resource

The old M1 keyword used [0-9A-HJ-NP-Z]{26} (proper Crockford Base32: excludes I, L, O, U). The new shared keyword uses [0-9A-Z]{26} which matches any 26-char uppercase alphanumeric string. This is unlikely to cause false positives in practice, but it's a correctness regression. M4 (in a separate PR) still uses the Crockford pattern, creating an inconsistency.

Suggestion: Use [0-9A-HJ-NP-TV-Z]{26} (Crockford) in the shared keyword, or document the deliberate broadening.


P2 — Extract Plan Id uses inline Python __import__('re') instead of Robot keywords

File: robot/e2e/common_e2e.resource

The new implementation uses Evaluate __import__('re').search(...) rather than Robot Framework's Get Regexp Matches. This is harder to read and debug in Robot logs. The old M1 keyword used Get Regexp Matches which is idiomatic Robot.


P2 — Run Process calls for git commands lack timeout and on_timeout=kill

File: robot/e2e/m3_acceptance.robot (lines 63-65)

Bare Run Process git add . / git commit calls have no timeout or on_timeout=kill. M5 applies timeout=60s on_timeout=kill to all Run Process calls consistently. Hung git processes would block CI indefinitely.


P2 — Boilerplate duplication (init/resource/project/action setup)

The ~40-line setup sequence (init → resource add → project create → action create → plan use) is copy-pasted across M1, M2, M3. M6 factored this into a reusable Setup Plan Test Resources keyword. Consider extracting a common setup keyword to reduce drift.


P3 — Invariant assertions are superficial

File: robot/e2e/m3_acceptance.robot (steps 3-4)

Output Should Contain ${inv_result} invariant just checks the word "invariant" appears anywhere in output (including the command echo itself). A stronger check would verify the invariant text "API function signatures must not change" appears in the invariant list output.

Step 4 does check Output Should Contain ${inv_list} API function signatures — that one is good. Step 3 could be tightened.


P3 — CHANGELOG insertion position

The CHANGELOG entry is inserted mid-list rather than at the top of the Unreleased section. Minor style nit.


Verdict

REQUEST CHANGES — P1 items (missing skip guard, missing test timeout, weak assertions on explain/correct/status) need to be addressed before merge. The test currently can silently pass with empty outputs and will hard-fail CI without API keys.

Code Review — PR #799 test(e2e): E2E acceptance criteria for M3 (v3.2.0)

Reviewer: @brent.edwards | Size: M (test-only) | Focus: E2E test quality, assertion strength


P1:must-fix (3)

1. Missing Skip If No LLM Keys guard — hard-FAILs CI without API keys
The test requires OPENAI_API_KEY or GEMINI_API_KEY but has no skip guard. In CI environments without these keys, all test cases FAIL with cryptic rc=1 errors rather than being gracefully skipped. Compare with existing M5/M6 E2E tests which use Skip If No LLM Keys.
Fix: Add skip guard as the first step in Suite Setup.

2. No [Timeout] on test case — unbounded execution
M3 E2E involves plan execution with LLM calls. Without a timeout, a hung LLM call can block CI indefinitely. M4 (#814) correctly uses [Timeout] 15 minutes.
Fix: Add [Timeout] 15 minutes to the test case.

3. Weak assertions on M3-specific commands

  • plan explain only asserts "no Traceback" — doesn't verify output contains decision details, rationale, or alternatives
  • plan correct --mode revert only asserts "no Traceback" — doesn't verify correction was acknowledged or re-execution occurred
  • Final status check only asserts "no Traceback" — doesn't verify plan reached a terminal state

A test that passes on empty stdout doesn't validate any acceptance criteria.
Fix: Add content assertions: Should Contain for keywords like rationale, decision, revert, and a status check for APPLIED or COMPLETE.


P2:should-fix (3)

4. Extract Plan Id uses [0-9A-Z]{26} regex — should be Crockford Base32 [0-9A-HJKMNP-TV-Z]{26}. M4 uses a different (also incorrect) regex. Standardize.

5. Run Process git calls (git init, git add, git commit) lack timeout and on_timeout=kill.

6. ~40 lines of init/resource/project/action boilerplate duplicated with M1, M2 E2E tests. Extract to shared resource keyword.


P3:nit (1)

7. invariant add assertion only checks output contains the word "invariant" — doesn't verify the invariant text was echoed back.


Verdict: REQUEST_CHANGES — the skip guard (P1-1) and timeout (P1-2) are quick fixes. The assertion weakness (P1-3) requires more thought but is essential for the acceptance gate to be meaningful.

Code Review — PR #799 (Post-fix round)

Reviewer: automated (requested by @christofer) | Scope: branch test/e2e-m3-acceptance changes + close surroundings | Ref: issue #743, docs/specification.md

Context: Brent Edwards reviewed twice (Reviews #2322, #2329) and Hamza addressed all 10 findings in commits ef51bc42 and cdfc1472. This review covers issues that remain unaddressed or were not previously identified. Four full review cycles were performed across all categories (specification alignment, bug detection, test coverage, test flaws, code quality, security, performance) until no new findings emerged.


P1 — Critical (2)

C1. plan explain and plan correct invoked with Plan ID instead of Decision ID

Category: Specification Alignment | Files: robot/e2e/m3_acceptance.robot lines 150, 171

The specification is unambiguous:

  • agents plan explain ... <DECISION_ID> (spec line 14543)
  • agents plan correct --mode (revert|append) ... <DECISION_ID> (spec line 14909)

Both commands require a Decision ID, not a Plan ID. The test passes ${plan_id} to both:

# Line 150 — should be a decision_id
${r_explain}=    Run CleverAgents Command
...    plan    explain    ${plan_id}    --format    plain

# Line 171 — should be a decision_id
${r_correct}=    Run CleverAgents Command
...    plan    correct    ${plan_id}    --mode    revert

Impact: The M3 acceptance criteria for decision explanation ("plan explain shows decision details including alternatives considered") and decision correction ("plan correct --mode=revert re-executes from targeted decision point") are structurally untestable as written. Either the CLI rejects the wrong argument type and the test fails for the wrong reason, or the CLI silently accepts a plan ID and the test doesn't validate the intended spec behavior.

Fix: After step 8 (plan tree), extract a decision ID from the tree output (using --format json for reliable parsing), then pass that decision ID to plan explain and plan correct. Example:

${r_tree_json}=    Run CleverAgents Command
...    plan    tree    ${plan_id}    --format    json
${decision_id}=    Safe Parse Json Field    ${r_tree_json.stdout}    decision_id
Should Not Be Empty    ${decision_id}
...    Could not extract decision_id from plan tree JSON output

C2. Hardcoded openai/gpt-4 actor — fails when only ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is set

Category: Bug / Test Reliability | File: robot/e2e/m3_acceptance.robot lines 109–110

The Skip If No LLM Keys guard (common_e2e.resource:56) passes when either ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or OPENAI_API_KEY is set. But the action YAML hardcodes OpenAI:

strategy_actor: openai/gpt-4
execution_actor: openai/gpt-4

When only ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is available, the test is not skipped (guard passes) but plan execute fails because no OpenAI credentials exist. This produces a misleading failure that appears to be a product bug rather than a test configuration issue.

Impact: In any CI or developer environment with only Anthropic credentials, this test fails with a confusing authentication error instead of being gracefully skipped.

Note: M1 and M2 have the same pattern, but M6 correctly demonstrates the fix — dynamic actor selection based on available keys:

# M6 pattern (preferred):
${actor}=    Set Variable If    '%{ANTHROPIC_API_KEY}' != ''
...    anthropic/claude-sonnet-4    openai/gpt-4o

Fix: Either dynamically select the actor/provider based on the available API key (M6 pattern), or tighten Skip If No LLM Keys to specifically require OPENAI_API_KEY for this test.


P2 — High (5)

H1. Missing return code assertions on git add/git commit

Category: Bug Detection | File: robot/e2e/m3_acceptance.robot lines 65–66

The git commands after creating the auth module file do not capture or check return codes:

Run Process    git    add    .    cwd=${repo_dir}    timeout=60s    on_timeout=kill
Run Process    git    commit    -m    Add auth module    cwd=${repo_dir}    timeout=60s    on_timeout=kill

Contrast with Create Temp Git Repo (common_e2e.resource:163–174) where every Run Process result is stored and its rc is asserted. If git add or git commit fails silently (e.g., disk full, permission error, lock contention), the test proceeds with an incomplete repository and fails in confusing ways at a later step.

Fix:

${git_add}=    Run Process    git    add    .    cwd=${repo_dir}    timeout=60s    on_timeout=kill
Should Be Equal As Integers    ${git_add.rc}    0    git add failed: ${git_add.stderr}
${git_commit}=    Run Process    git    commit    -m    Add auth module    cwd=${repo_dir}    timeout=60s    on_timeout=kill
Should Be Equal As Integers    ${git_commit.rc}    0    git commit failed: ${git_commit.stderr}

H2. No verification of invariant enforcement during strategize — acceptance criteria gap

Category: Test Coverage | File: robot/e2e/m3_acceptance.robot steps 3, 7, 8

Issue #743 acceptance criterion: "Test adds invariants via invariant add and verifies enforcement during strategize."

The test adds an invariant (step 3) and runs strategize (step 7), but never verifies that the invariant was enforced. Per the spec (line 18631), invariant enforcement creates invariant_enforced decisions. The plan tree output (step 8) should contain an invariant_enforced decision node referencing the added invariant, but no such check exists.

Fix: After plan tree, verify the tree output contains evidence of invariant enforcement:

# After plan tree
Should Be True    'invariant' in '''${tree_output}'''.lower()
...    Plan tree does not show invariant enforcement for the added invariant

Or better, with --format json, parse the tree and assert at least one decision has type: invariant_enforced.


H3. plan explain assertion doesn't check for "alternatives"

Category: Test Coverage | File: robot/e2e/m3_acceptance.robot line 158

Milestone acceptance criterion: "plan explain shows decision details including alternatives considered."

The assertion checks for decision, rationale, reasoning, or explain keywords, but not alternative:

Should Be True    'decision' in '''${explain_output}'''.lower() or 'rationale' in ...

Fix: Add 'alternative' in '''${explain_output}'''.lower() to the assertion, or better, add a separate dedicated assertion:

Should Be True    'alternative' in '''${explain_output}'''.lower() or 'option' in '''${explain_output}'''.lower()
...    Plan explain output does not mention alternatives or options.\nOutput: ${explain_output}

H4. Should Be True triple-quote injection risk in Python expression evaluation

Category: Test Robustness | File: robot/e2e/m3_acceptance.robot lines 145, 158, 183, 210

All keyword-check assertions use:

Should Be True    'keyword' in '''${output_variable}'''.lower()

If CLI output contains a literal ''' (triple single-quote), the Python expression becomes syntactically invalid and produces a confusing EvaluationError instead of a clear assertion failure. While unlikely in normal output, LLM-generated output can contain arbitrary text including Python code blocks with triple quotes.

Fix: Use $output_variable (Robot Framework variable reference in Python expressions) which avoids string interpolation issues:

Should Be True    'plan' in $tree_output.lower() or 'decision' in $tree_output.lower()

Or use Robot Framework's native Should Contain which is immune to injection:

${lower_output}=    Evaluate    $tree_output.lower()
Should Match Regexp    ${lower_output}    (plan|decision|tree)

H5. Overly permissive keyword-based assertions on plan tree/explain/correct/status

Category: Test Flaws | File: robot/e2e/m3_acceptance.robot lines 145, 158, 183, 210

The assertion pattern uses broad OR chains of common words:

  • plan tree: checks for plan, decision, or tree — the word "plan" appears in virtually any CLI output
  • plan explain: checks for decision, rationale, reasoning, or explainexplain appears in error messages like "could not explain"
  • plan correct: checks for revert, correct, or decisioncorrect appears in phrases like "correct the issue"
  • Final status: checks for applied, complete, or phasephase is not a terminal indicator

These assertions can pass on error output, help text, or any message that incidentally contains these common words. The tests would pass even if the commands return the wrong content.

Fix: Use --format json for tree/explain/status and parse specific fields, or use more specific keyword combinations (e.g., check for decision_id rather than decision; check for strategy_choice or invariant_enforced in tree output).


P3 — Medium (6)

M1. Final status assertion accepts the generic word "phase"

File: robot/e2e/m3_acceptance.robot line 210

Should Be True    'applied' in ... or 'complete' in ... or 'phase' in ...

The word "phase" appears in non-terminal contexts like phase: strategize/queued. This assertion would pass even if the plan is stuck in an early phase.

Fix: Remove 'phase' from the OR chain, or use more specific patterns like 'applied' or 'phase: apply'.


M2. plan explain not tested with --show-context or --show-reasoning flags

File: robot/e2e/m3_acceptance.robot line 150 | Spec: lines 14551–14552

The spec documents these flags as key functionality for the explain command. Without testing them, there's no E2E verification that context snapshots and model reasoning are properly captured and displayed.


M3. No plan tree --show-superseded test after plan correct

File: robot/e2e/m3_acceptance.robot (between steps 11 and 12) | Spec: line 14325, 18473

After plan correct (step 11) creates a correction with superseded decisions, running plan tree --show-superseded would verify the correction history feature described in the spec. This is a core M3 feature (decision tree versioning) with no E2E coverage.


M4. No plan correct --dry-run coverage

File: robot/e2e/m3_acceptance.robot | Spec: line 14920

The spec documents --dry-run as a flag that shows impact without executing. This is a safety feature with no E2E test coverage.


M5. Return From Keyword If deprecated — mixed with IF/RETURN pattern

File: robot/e2e/common_e2e.resource lines 145, 149, 153

The Extract Plan Id keyword uses Return From Keyword If (deprecated in RF7+) while the rest of the file uses the modern IF/RETURN pattern. Inconsistent style and future-compatibility concern.


M6. No [Teardown] at test level

File: robot/e2e/m3_acceptance.robot

Unlike the M6 test which uses per-test teardown for resource cleanup, M3 relies solely on Suite Teardown. If the test fails mid-way through, any partial state (temp directories, orphaned processes) persists until Suite Teardown runs. Not critical since CLEVERAGENTS_HOME is a temp directory, but inconsistent with the M6 pattern.


P4 — Low (4)

L1. Combined-output pattern could be extracted to keyword

File: robot/e2e/m3_acceptance.robot — 6 instances of ${x}= Set Variable ${y.stdout}\n${y.stderr}

Minor code quality/DRY concern.


L2. Inconsistent assertion order between M2 and M3

M2: Should Not Contain ... INTERNAL before Traceback. M3: Traceback before INTERNAL. Minor style inconsistency.


L3. Potential sensitive data in assertion failure diagnostic messages

Lines 123–124 embed raw stdout/stderr in failure messages. If CLI output ever includes configuration details, they appear in the test report. Low risk since Run CleverAgents Command already logs these via Log.


L4. tdd_expected_fail on monolithic test — design concern

With the test failing at step 4 (invariant list, bug #1022), steps 5–14 are never exercised. When bug #1022 is fixed and step 4 passes, if a later step fails (e.g., step 9 with the wrong argument type — see C1), the tdd_expected_fail listener would invert FAIL→PASS, masking the step 9 bug. The developer fixing #1022 would only discover it after removing the tag. This is inherent to applying tdd_expected_fail on a monolithic multi-step test, but worth awareness.

The test passes `${plan_id}` to both: ```robot # Line 150 — should be a decision_id ${r_explain}= Run CleverAgents Command ... plan explain ${plan_id} --format plain # Line 171 — should be a decision_id ${r_correct}= Run CleverAgents Command ... plan correct ${plan_id} --mode revert ``` **Impact:** The M3 acceptance criteria for decision explanation ("plan explain shows decision details including alternatives considered") and decision correction ("plan correct --mode=revert re-executes from targeted decision point") are **structurally untestable** as written.

AC-2: Add plan tree --format json step (8b) to verify decisions are
recorded with context snapshots.  Checks for decision_id keys and
context_snapshot/snapshot/context presence in JSON output.

AC-5: Add invariant enforcement check (7b) after strategize phase.
Checks whether the invariant text or 'invariant' keyword appears in
strategize output.  Diagnostic-only (not hard assertion) because LLM
output is non-deterministic.

C1 (Critical): Fix plan explain and plan correct to use Decision ID
extracted from plan tree --format json instead of Plan ID.  The spec
requires a decision_id, not a plan_id.

C2 (Critical): Dynamic actor selection based on available API key.
Uses anthropic/claude-sonnet-4 when ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is set,
falls back to openai/gpt-4.  Prevents misleading auth failures in
Anthropic-only environments.

H1: Add rc assertions on git add/commit after auth module creation.
H3: Add alternative/option to plan explain keyword check.
H4: Replace triple-quote Should Be True with $variable syntax across
all keyword assertions to prevent injection from LLM output.
H5: Tighten keyword assertions — use decision_id structural check
in tree JSON, specific terminal indicators in final status.
M1: Remove generic 'phase' from final status, use applied/complete/apply.
M5: Replace deprecated Return From Keyword If with IF/RETURN in
Extract Plan Id keyword (common_e2e.resource).

- AC-2: assert context_snapshot.hot_context_hash via plan explain
  --format json --show-context --show-reasoning
- AC-5: add hard assertion that plan tree --format json contains an
  invariant_enforced decision for the added invariant

The AC-5 assertion is intentionally hard while the test remains
@tdd_expected_fail. This encodes the intended CLI behavior without
relying on non-deterministic LLM wording.

PR Review: !799 (Ticket #743)

Verdict: Request Changes

Reviewed latest head d8e1e861. The recent changes improved snapshot and invariant assertions and fixed the direct plan_id/decision_id call sites, but the suite is still not a reliable M3 acceptance gate.

Critical Issues

None

Major Issues

  • P1:must-fix — robot/e2e/m3_acceptance.robot:27
    • Problem: The acceptance case is still tagged tdd_expected_fail. Because this is a single monolithic test, the known early failure path short-circuits the later decision/explain/correct checks while the listener still turns the overall result into a pass. That means the PR can merge without the M3 acceptance path actually passing.
    • Recommendation: Move the bug-capture behavior into a dedicated TDD test and make the M3 acceptance suite pass normally, or remove tdd_expected_fail once the bug is fixed.
  • P1:must-fix — robot/e2e/m3_acceptance.robot:158-164
    • Problem: Decision extraction still grabs every ULID in the tree JSON and uses the first one. That can still select plan_id or another ULID-shaped field instead of a real decision_id, so the later explain/correct steps are still structurally fragile.
    • Recommendation: Extract only values from the "decision_id" key (or parse the JSON tree and walk the decision nodes explicitly) before invoking plan explain and plan correct.
  • P1:must-fix — robot/e2e/m3_acceptance.robot:211-226
    • Problem: The revert correction assertion still only checks for generic words like revert, correct, or decision. It does not verify that the targeted decision was corrected or that re-execution happened from that decision point, which is one of the core M3 acceptance requirements.
    • Recommendation: Assert structured correction fields such as Corrects, New Decision, Impact, or recompute details, and/or follow the correction with plan tree --show-superseded to prove the targeted decision was superseded and recomputed.
  • P1:must-fix — robot/e2e/m3_acceptance.robot:245-253
    • Problem: The final status assertion is still too weak for an acceptance gate. Checking for the word apply can pass on non-terminal or intermediate Apply-phase output rather than successful completion.
    • Recommendation: Use structured status output and assert a successful terminal state explicitly instead of matching the generic word apply.

Summary

The latest updates fixed some earlier concerns, especially around snapshot and invariant assertions, but the suite still remains expected-fail and does not yet strictly prove targeted decision correction or successful lifecycle completion on the latest head.

P1-A: Remove tdd_expected_fail, tdd_bug, tdd_bug_1022 tags — bug
#1022 is closed, the test should pass on its own now.

P1-C: After plan correct, verify the decision tree contains
'superseded: true' proving the targeted decision was actually
corrected and marked superseded.

P1-D: Replace weak keyword-based final status check with structured
JSON assertion using plan status --format json.  Verify phase is
'apply' and processing_state is one of queued/processing/complete/applied.

P1-B (decision_id extraction): validated as not-a-bug — plan tree
--format json does not include plan_id, only decision_id fields.
First ULID match is always a decision_id.

Issue #1022 was closed but the actual invariant persistence fix has
not been merged to master.  invariant list still returns 'no
invariants found' between CLI invocations.  Restore tdd_expected_fail
with correct tdd_issue tags until the fix lands.
