  • Branch name: epic/cli-output-format-compliance-m3-spec-alignment

Background and Context

UAT testing of v3.2.0 has revealed widespread CLI output format divergence from the specification. The agents config, agents plan tree, agents version, and other commands produce JSON/YAML/Rich output that does not match the spec-required structure. These issues block milestone acceptance criteria validation.

This Epic groups all CLI output format compliance bugs for v3.2.0 that must be fixed before the milestone can be accepted.

Expected Behavior

All CLI commands produce output that exactly matches the specification:

  • agents config list/get/set JSON/YAML output matches spec envelope structure
  • agents plan tree --format json returns structured object (not list)
  • agents version JSON output has nested cli/build/dependencies structure
  • --format color produces colored Rich output (not plain text)
  • All output format bugs identified in UAT are resolved

Acceptance Criteria

  • agents config list/get/set JSON/YAML output matches spec envelope structure
  • agents plan tree --format json returns structured object (not list)
  • agents version JSON output has nested cli/build/dependencies structure
  • --format color produces colored Rich output (not plain text)
  • All child issues are closed and merged
  • All CLI output format bugs are resolved and output matches the specification

Subtasks

  • Fix agents plan tree --format json to return structured object (#7944)
  • Fix Plan CLI JSON outputs to match spec (#7945)
  • Fix --format color to produce colored Rich output (#7910)
  • Fix agents version JSON output nested structure (#7812)
  • Fix agents config list Rich output missing panels (#7809)
  • Fix agents config get Rich output missing "Origin" panel (#7808)
  • Fix agents config set Rich output missing panels (#7806)
  • Fix agents config list JSON/YAML output structure (#7805)
  • Fix agents config get JSON/YAML output missing fields (#7804)
  • Fix agents config set JSON/YAML output field names (#7803)
  • Run full CLI output format compliance test suite

Child Issues

  • #7944 UAT: agents plan tree --format json returns list instead of structured object per spec
  • #7945 UAT: Plan CLI JSON outputs diverge from specification
  • #7910 UAT: --format color outputs uncoloured plain text
  • #7812 UAT: [FA-20] agents version JSON output has flat structure instead of spec-required nested cli/build/dependencies objects
  • #7809 UAT: [FA-20] agents config list Rich output missing "Overrides" and "Config File" panels
  • #7808 UAT: [FA-20] agents config get Rich output missing "Origin" panel
  • #7806 UAT: [FA-20] agents config set Rich output missing "Effective" and "Saved To" panels
  • #7805 UAT: [FA-20] agents config list JSON/YAML output has wrong structure
  • #7804 UAT: [FA-20] agents config get JSON/YAML output missing required fields
  • #7803 UAT: [FA-20] agents config set JSON/YAML output uses wrong field names

Depends on: Legendary #372 (Plan Lifecycle)

Definition of Done

Triage Decision: VERIFIED — MoSCoW/Must Have

Valid epic for v3.2.0 spec alignment. CLI output format compliance is required for the milestone acceptance criteria (output validation is flexible — checks structural components).
