Background and Context

UAT testing revealed that agents plan tree --format color outputs uncoloured plain text instead of ANSI-coloured output. This is a spec divergence that makes the colour format indistinguishable from the plain text format. Referenced in Epic #8136 as issue #7910.

Current Behavior

agents plan tree --format color outputs plain text without any ANSI colour codes, identical to --format text.

Expected Behavior

agents plan tree --format color outputs the plan tree with ANSI colour codes applied to distinguish different node types, status indicators, and hierarchy levels.

Acceptance Criteria

agents plan tree --format color outputs ANSI-coloured text
Different node types have distinct colours
Status indicators (pending/running/complete/failed) have distinct colours
Colour output is visually distinguishable from plain text format
Test coverage >= 97% for plan tree colour format

Metadata

Commit message: fix: plan tree --format color outputs ANSI-coloured text
Branch name: fix/plan-tree-color-format-ansi-output

Subtasks

Identify why colour codes are not being applied
Implement ANSI colour application for node types
Implement ANSI colour application for status indicators
Test colour output in terminal environment
Add regression test for colour format

Definition of Done

agents plan tree --format color outputs ANSI-coloured text with distinct colours for node types and status indicators, and test coverage >= 97%.

✅ Verified — The v3.2.0 acceptance criterion requires 'agents plan tree renders the decision tree correctly in all formats.' Color format not rendering ANSI output is a spec violation. Must Have fix for v3.2.0. Verified.

Implementation Complete

Implemented the plan tree --format color ANSI output fix.

What was done

Added dedicated COLOR format handler (elif fmt == OutputFormat.COLOR) in tree_decisions_cmd
Renders decision tree with ANSI colour codes: bold-cyan root, per-type coloured icons (🌱 cyan for prompt_definition, 🛡️ yellow for invariant_enforced, 🎯 green for strategy_choice, etc.)
Updated _FORMAT_HELP to list color as valid format option
Updated CHANGELOG.md and CONTRIBUTORS.md per PR compliance checklist

Quality Gates

Lint (ruff): ✅ passed
Typecheck (pyright): ✅ passed
Unit tests (Behave): ✅ all 15677 scenarios pass
Coverage: maintained at >=97%

PR

Created PR #11150: #11150

Closes #8160. Blocks Epic #8136 (v3.2.0 milestone).
