Metadata

  • Commit Message: feat(plan): implement LLM-powered strategy actor
  • Branch: feature/strategy-actor-llm
  • Type: Feature
  • Priority: High
  • MoSCoW: Must have
  • Points: 8
  • Milestone: v3.5.0

Background and Context

The specification defines the Strategy Actor as the core actor responsible for the strategize phase of the plan lifecycle. It receives a plan's definition of done, available resources, and context, then uses an LLM to produce a detailed execution strategy (action breakdown, dependency ordering, resource allocation, risk assessment).

Currently, only StrategizeStubActor exists in src/cleveragents/application/services/plan_executor.py. It parses bullet points from the definition_of_done text field and returns them as a flat list of actions — no LLM involvement, no context analysis, no dependency ordering, no risk assessment.

The specification requires:

  • LLM-powered plan decomposition into hierarchical actions
  • Dependency graph construction between actions
  • Resource requirement analysis per action
  • Risk/complexity scoring per action
  • Integration with ACMS context for informed strategy generation
  • Support for the actor.default.strategy config key to select the strategy actor

Acceptance Criteria

  • StrategyActor class replaces StrategizeStubActor as the default strategy actor
  • Strategy actor sends plan context (definition_of_done, resources, project context) to the configured LLM
  • LLM response is parsed into a hierarchical action tree with dependencies
  • Each action has: description, resource requirements, estimated complexity, risk score
  • Action dependency graph is validated (no cycles, all dependencies resolvable)
  • Strategy actor integrates with ACMS to provide relevant context to the LLM
  • actor.default.strategy config key selects the strategy actor implementation
  • Fallback to StrategizeStubActor when no LLM provider is configured

Implementation Notes

Architecture

Created src/cleveragents/application/services/strategy_actor.py with:

  • StrategyAction dataclass: description, resource_requirements, estimated_complexity (float 0-1), risk_score (float 0-1), depends_on list, sub_actions list
  • StrategyTree dataclass: root actions list, metadata dict
  • StrategyActor class: implements the strategy actor protocol with LLM integration
  • resolve_strategy_actor(): factory function reading actor.default.strategy config key

Key Design Decisions

  1. Prompt engineering: The LLM prompt includes plan definition_of_done, available resources, project context, and explicit instructions for JSON-structured output with hierarchical actions, dependencies, complexity, and risk scores.
  2. Response parsing: LLM JSON response is parsed into StrategyAction trees. Graceful fallback: if JSON parsing fails, falls back to line-by-line parsing (stub behavior).
  3. Cycle validation: Topological sort-based cycle detection validates the dependency graph. Raises ValueError if cycles detected.
  4. Config-driven selection: actor.default.strategy config key selects between StrategyActor (LLM-powered) and StrategizeStubActor (fallback). Missing/empty config or no LLM provider falls back to stub.
  5. Decision integration: Strategy results are converted to Decision objects of type strategy_choice for integration with the plan decision tree.

Test Coverage

  • 32 Behave BDD scenarios covering: basic strategy generation, hierarchical decomposition, dependency validation, cycle detection, risk scoring, empty/malformed inputs, LLM fallback, config-driven actor selection, ACMS context integration
  • 7 Robot Framework integration tests covering end-to-end strategize phase with actor resolution

Observation from WF12 E2E test (PR !817, merged to master)

The newly merged robot/e2e/wf12_hierarchical.robot test exercises the full strategize → tree inspection path for Workflow Example 12 (large-scale hierarchical feature implementation). During tree inspection (lines 274-276), the test emits a WARN because plan tree output contains no non-empty "children" arrays — the LLM produces flat sibling decisions rather than a nested parent→child hierarchy.

The root cause is in the current LLMStrategizeActor (src/cleveragents/application/services/llm_actors.py):

  1. Prompt (line 108-115): asks for a flat numbered list ("Return ONLY a numbered list (1., 2., …) of steps"), with no mention of hierarchy, nesting, or child plans.
  2. Parser (_parse_decisions, line 184-204): returns list[str], discarding any indentation or nesting structure.
  3. Decision wiring (line 132-142): hardcodes a star topology — all non-root decisions get parent_id=root_id, so no multi-level tree is possible.
  4. Persistence gap (plan_executor.py:run_strategize, line 536-539): StrategyDecision objects are never persisted as Decision domain objects — only the count is saved in error_details.
  5. Boilerplate-only decisions: the only persisted decisions come from _try_record_decision() in start_strategize/start_execute — two root-level boilerplate entries with no parent-child links.

This means the spec-required decision types (prompt_definition, invariant_enforced, strategy_choice, subplan_spawn, subplan_parallel_spawn) are not created during strategize, and build_decision_tree() has nothing hierarchical to render.

Since #828 directly addresses replacing the flat-list strategize output with LLM-driven hierarchical action trees, this is a heads-up that the WF12 e2e test is already in place on master and will serve as a validation point. Once #828 lands, the WARN at line 276 should become the success path (line 278: "Confirmed non-empty children array(s) in tree").

Implementation Update — M6 Wiring Fix

Addressed the key findings from the REQUEST_CHANGES review (freemo) and the final automated review (CoreRasurae). The amended commit ad554e3b includes:

Changes Made

src/cleveragents/application/services/plan_executor.py

  • run_strategize: Now passes resources (derived from plan.project_links) and project_context to the strategy actor, so the LLM prompt receives full project context
  • run_strategize: Serialises strategy decisions as JSON in plan.error_details["strategy_decisions_json"] so the full hierarchy is preserved for Execute
  • _build_decisions: Now uses stored strategy_decisions_json when available, preserving dependency ordering and parent/child structure from StrategyActor. Falls back to definition_of_done parsing for backward compatibility
  • StrategizeStubActor.execute: Added **_kwargs for forward-compatibility with callers that pass resources/project_context

src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py

  • _get_plan_executor: Now uses resolve_strategy_actor() instead of always constructing LLMStrategizeActor. Reads actor.default.strategy config key via config_service.resolve(). Falls back gracefully if config is unavailable.

features/plan_executor_coverage.feature + features/steps/plan_executor_coverage_steps.py

  • Added 4 new BDD scenarios covering: stored JSON path, corrupt JSON fallback, resource-passing from project_links, and stub extra-kwargs

CI Status

  • lint: PASS
  • typecheck: PASS (0 errors)
  • unit_tests: PASS (6m2s)
  • security: PASS
  • docker: PASS
  • quality, build, helm, e2e_tests, integration_tests: Failing in 1-13s (pre-existing CI infrastructure issue — same failures present on master branch)

Remaining Known Limitation (future work)

Finding #5 from the review (build_decisions assigns PROMPT_DEFINITION to the first strategy step) is a spec alignment issue that requires a broader refactor of the decision tree model. It is documented in the existing .. note:: in strategy_actor.py and will be addressed when the full Decision persistence pipeline lands.

PR #1175 — Independent Code Review: Changes Requested

PR #1175 has been reviewed by the independent self-reviewer. The implementation quality is good — most of the original HIGH findings (H1 LLM response fallback, H2 invariants in prompt, H3 lifecycle exception narrowing) have been addressed. However, three blocking issues prevent merge:

  1. Merge conflictsmergeable: false, branch needs rebase onto master
  2. File size violations — 3 files exceed the 500-line CONTRIBUTING.md limit (strategy_actor_llm_steps.py at 2,084 lines, strategy_actor.py at 830 lines, strategy_actor_llm.feature at 750 lines)
  3. Empty PR body — CONTRIBUTING.md requires a detailed description

Additionally, two HIGH issues remain:

  • Tests still call private _execute_with_llm directly in 6+ places (H5 from original review, still unresolved)
  • Redundant except (json.JSONDecodeError, Exception): in plan_executor.py

PR #1175 — Independent Code Review: Changes Requested

PR #1175 has been reviewed by the independent reviewer (ca-pr-self-reviewer). The review identified 4 blocking issues and 3 significant issues that must be addressed before the PR can be approved and merged.

Blocking issues:

  1. Merge conflicts — branch has diverged from master, mergeable: false
  2. Empty PR body — missing description and Closes #828 keyword
  3. strategy_actor.py at 830 lines — exceeds 500-line limit per CONTRIBUTING.md
  4. strategy_actor_llm_steps.py at 2084 lines — extreme file size violation

Significant issues:
5. Tests still call private _execute_with_llm directly (H5 from prior review)
6. Broad except Exception in ACMS context retrieval
7. Redundant except (json.JSONDecodeError, Exception) in _build_decisions

Positive notes: The implementation quality is high overall. Most HIGH findings from the initial review have been addressed (LLM response handling, invariant prompt inclusion, lifecycle exception narrowing, hierarchy inference). The modular decomposition into 4 source files is good — just needs the main actor file split further.

Full review details are on PR #1175.
