  • Commit message: feat: implement automation profile resolution and precedence
  • Branch name: feat/automation-profile-resolution-precedence

Background and Context

The v3.5.0 milestone (M6: Autonomy Hardening) requires that automation profile resolution precedence is correct: plan-level settings override action-level settings, which override global settings. This is a critical correctness requirement for autonomous execution - without correct precedence, plans may execute with unintended automation levels.

UAT testing has revealed that custom automation profiles silently fall back to 'manual' (issue #6231 in Epic #8050). The agents plan use --automation-profile command rejects custom profiles (issue #6226). These bugs must be fixed and the full precedence chain must be validated.

The automation profile resolution system is the configuration layer that determines how autonomously each plan and action executes. Correct precedence ensures that fine-grained overrides work as intended: a plan-level override should take precedence over the global default, and an action-level override should take precedence over the plan-level setting.

Current Behavior

Custom automation profiles silently fall back to 'manual'. The agents plan use --automation-profile command rejects custom profile names. Automation profile resolution does not follow the correct precedence chain (plan > action > global).

Expected Behavior

Automation profile resolution follows correct precedence: plan-level > action-level > global. Custom automation profiles are resolved correctly without silent fallback. agents plan use --automation-profile <name> accepts custom profile names. Profile resolution is transparent and debuggable (resolution chain is logged at debug level).

Acceptance Criteria

  • Automation profile resolution follows plan > action > global precedence
  • Custom automation profiles are resolved correctly (no silent fallback to 'manual')
  • agents plan use --automation-profile <name> accepts custom profile names
  • Profile resolution chain is logged at debug level for transparency
  • Profile resolution is tested with all precedence combinations
  • All child issues are closed and merged
  • Test coverage >= 97% for automation profile resolution module

Subtasks

  • Fix custom automation profile resolution in _resolve_profile_for_plan (#6231)
  • Fix agents plan use --automation-profile to accept custom profiles (#6226)
  • Implement correct precedence chain (plan > action > global)
  • Add debug logging for profile resolution chain
  • Write unit tests for all precedence combinations
  • Write integration tests for profile resolution in plan execution

Parent Legendary

Parent Legendary: #8133

Definition of Done

Epic complete when all child issues are closed, automation profile resolution follows correct precedence, custom profiles are accepted, and test coverage >= 97%.

Verified — The v3.5.0 acceptance criterion explicitly requires: 'Automation profile resolution precedence correct (plan > action > global).' This Epic covers that requirement. Must Have for v3.5.0. Verified.
