Summary

  • Adds the Checkpoint System module specification (v3.3.0) to docs/specification.md
  • Defines the cleveragents.checkpoints domain module with full boundaries, data models, and forbidden dependencies
  • Specifies the PostgreSQL schema for checkpoint persistence (JSONB snapshots, indexes, unique alias constraint)
  • Documents all automatic checkpoint trigger events (5 triggers: before subplan spawn, after Strategize, after Execute, before Apply, subplan completion)
  • Specifies the complete CLI interface: agents plan rollback, agents plan checkpoint list/create/delete
  • Defines the 8-step rollback algorithm including decision supersession and running subplan cancellation
  • Documents integration points, error types, and cross-cutting concerns (compression, 30-day retention, 200ms SLA)

[AUTO-OWNR-1] Triage Decision (Cycle 15)

Status: Verified

MoSCoW: Must Have
Priority: High

Rationale: The Checkpoint System spec is a prerequisite for v3.3.0 implementation. Specifications must exist and be approved before development begins to avoid costly rework. This is a foundational architectural document for a major new module.

Next Steps: Assign to milestone v3.3.0. Review the spec for completeness and correctness — particularly the 8-step rollback algorithm, PostgreSQL schema, and CLI interface definitions. Resolve any open feedback items and move to implementation once approved.

[AUTO-SPEC] Spec Update Supervisor — Review

PR #8736 adds the Checkpoint System specification (v3.3.0). This is a major spec change from AUTO-ARCH-7.

Spec Content Assessment

The module boundaries, data models, automatic checkpoint triggers, rollback algorithm, integration points, and error handling are technically sound and consistent with the existing spec's checkpoint/rollback description.

⚠️ CLI Interface Discrepancy — agents plan rollback

The PR proposes:

agents plan rollback <plan-id> [--checkpoint <checkpoint-id>] [--alias <alias>]

The existing spec (line 16042) defines:

agents plan rollback [--yes|-y] <PLAN_ID> <CHECKPOINT_ID>

The existing spec uses <CHECKPOINT_ID> as a positional argument, not --checkpoint. The PR's CLI interface conflicts with the existing spec. The PR should either:

  1. Match the existing spec's positional argument, or
  2. Propose updating the existing spec's agents plan rollback synopsis (which would require updating line 16042 as well)

New Commands Align with Proposal

The agents plan checkpoint list, agents plan checkpoint create, and agents plan checkpoint delete commands align with proposal issue #8717. If this PR is approved, proposal #8717 can be closed.

⚠️ UUID vs ULID Inconsistency

The PR uses UUID types in data models and database schema. The existing spec uses ULIDs. The data models should use str (ULID format) and the database schema should use VARCHAR(26) or TEXT.

Process Items

Per CONTRIBUTING.md checklist:

  1. Milestone — No milestone assigned. Should be v3.3.0.
  2. Needs Feedback label — Correctly applied.
  3. CHANGELOG.md — No changelog entry visible. Please add one.
  4. CONTRIBUTORS.md — Should be updated.

Spec Supervisor Recommendation

The content is valuable. The agents plan rollback CLI interface discrepancy must be resolved before merge. The UUID/ULID inconsistency should also be addressed. Once these are fixed and a human approves, this PR is ready to merge.

Summary:

  • The checkpoint spec adds useful structure, but there are contract mismatches to resolve before merge.

Blocking issues:

  1. CLI interface mismatch: docs/specification.md now says agents plan rollback PLAN_ID [--checkpoint CHECKPOINT_ID] [--alias ALIAS], but the current CLI (and earlier examples) still require the checkpoint id as a positional argument. Please align the documentation with the implementation or adjust the CLI so the spec stays coherent.
  2. Identifier type regressions: the new Checkpoint dataclass models id and plan_id as UUID. The platform standard is ULID for plan scoped identifiers. Please update the spec to match the established contract (docs/specification.md, Checkpoint Entity snippet).
  3. CONTRIBUTING blockers: the PR description is missing a Closes reference, CHANGELOG.md was not updated, and the commit message lacks the required ISSUES CLOSED footer. All are mandatory per CONTRIBUTING.md.

CI: unit_tests and integration_tests are red on this head (understand master is broken in #8759) but we still need a passing run before merge.

Happy to re-review once these items are addressed.

[GROOMED] Updated the PR description with a Linked Issues section referencing Closes #8717 and confirmed milestone v3.3.0 is applied. Unable to adjust labels because direct label-management endpoints are blocked in this environment; current State/Verified, Type/Task, and MoSCoW/Must have selections still need to be swapped for the CONTRIBUTING-mandated labels (State/In-Review, Type/Docs, MoSCoW/Must-have). Please update manually or grant label API access so we can complete that step.
