Metadata

Commit Message: fix(domain): correct invariant precedence chain to include action scope
Branch: fix/invariant-precedence-chain-action-scope

Background and Context

The specification (docs/specification.md §92) defines the invariant precedence chain as four-tier:

"The runtime precedence chain is four-tier: plan > action > project > global."

The domain model in src/cleveragents/domain/models/core/invariant.py documents the precedence chain incorrectly, omitting the action scope tier.

This was discovered during [AUTO-UAT-4] UAT testing of v3.2.0 invariant commands.

Current Behavior

The module docstring in src/cleveragents/domain/models/core/invariant.py (lines 7-8) states:

"""...
The runtime precedence chain is:

    plan > project > global
...
"""

The InvariantScope class docstring (lines 43-44) also states:

"""Scope at which an invariant applies.

Precedence (highest to lowest): PLAN > PROJECT > GLOBAL.
ACTION invariants are promoted to PLAN scope at ``plan use`` time.
"""

The merge_invariants function only handles three tiers (plan, project, global) and does not include action scope in the merge chain.

Expected Behavior

Per docs/specification.md §92, the precedence chain is four-tier: plan > action > project > global.

The module docstring, InvariantScope docstring, and merge_invariants function should all reflect the correct four-tier precedence. The merge_invariants function signature and implementation should include action_invariants as a parameter between plan_invariants and project_invariants.

Note: The spec also states that action invariants are "promoted to plan scope at plan use time" — this promotion behavior should be clarified in the docstrings to avoid confusion about whether action scope is a separate tier or always promoted.

Acceptance Criteria

Module docstring in invariant.py documents the correct four-tier precedence: plan > action > project > global
InvariantScope class docstring correctly documents the four-tier precedence
merge_invariants function accepts action_invariants parameter and applies correct precedence
InvariantSet.merge class method is updated to accept and pass action_invariants
BDD scenarios cover action-scope invariants in the merge precedence chain
All existing invariant tests continue to pass
Coverage ≥ 97% via nox -s coverage_report

Subtasks

Fix module docstring in invariant.py to show four-tier precedence
Fix InvariantScope class docstring
Update merge_invariants function to include action_invariants parameter
Update InvariantSet.merge to pass action_invariants
Update InvariantService.get_effective_invariants to collect and pass action invariants
Add BDD scenarios for action-scope invariant precedence in merge
Run nox (all default sessions), fix any errors
Verify coverage ≥ 97% via nox -s coverage_report

Definition of Done

This issue is complete when:

All subtasks above are completed and checked off.

## Metadata - **Commit Message**: `fix(domain): correct invariant precedence chain to include action scope` - **Branch**: `fix/invariant-precedence-chain-action-scope` ## Background and Context The specification (docs/specification.md §92) defines the invariant precedence chain as four-tier: > "The runtime precedence chain is four-tier: **plan > action > project > global**." The domain model in `src/cleveragents/domain/models/core/invariant.py` documents the precedence chain incorrectly, omitting the `action` scope tier. This was discovered during [AUTO-UAT-4] UAT testing of v3.2.0 invariant commands. ## Current Behavior The module docstring in `src/cleveragents/domain/models/core/invariant.py` (lines 7-8) states: ```python """... The runtime precedence chain is: plan > project > global ... """ ``` The `InvariantScope` class docstring (lines 43-44) also states: ```python """Scope at which an invariant applies. Precedence (highest to lowest): PLAN > PROJECT > GLOBAL. ACTION invariants are promoted to PLAN scope at ``plan use`` time. """ ``` The `merge_invariants` function only handles three tiers (plan, project, global) and does not include action scope in the merge chain. ## Expected Behavior Per `docs/specification.md` §92, the precedence chain is **four-tier**: `plan > action > project > global`. The module docstring, `InvariantScope` docstring, and `merge_invariants` function should all reflect the correct four-tier precedence. The `merge_invariants` function signature and implementation should include `action_invariants` as a parameter between `plan_invariants` and `project_invariants`. Note: The spec also states that action invariants are "promoted to plan scope at `plan use` time" — this promotion behavior should be clarified in the docstrings to avoid confusion about whether action scope is a separate tier or always promoted. ## Acceptance Criteria - [ ] Module docstring in `invariant.py` documents the correct four-tier precedence: `plan > action > project > global` - [ ] `InvariantScope` class docstring correctly documents the four-tier precedence - [ ] `merge_invariants` function accepts `action_invariants` parameter and applies correct precedence - [ ] `InvariantSet.merge` class method is updated to accept and pass `action_invariants` - [ ] BDD scenarios cover action-scope invariants in the merge precedence chain - [ ] All existing invariant tests continue to pass - [ ] Coverage ≥ 97% via `nox -s coverage_report` ## Subtasks - [ ] Fix module docstring in `invariant.py` to show four-tier precedence - [ ] Fix `InvariantScope` class docstring - [ ] Update `merge_invariants` function to include `action_invariants` parameter - [ ] Update `InvariantSet.merge` to pass `action_invariants` - [ ] Update `InvariantService.get_effective_invariants` to collect and pass action invariants - [ ] Add BDD scenarios for action-scope invariant precedence in merge - [ ] Run `nox` (all default sessions), fix any errors - [ ] Verify coverage ≥ 97% via `nox -s coverage_report` ## Definition of Done This issue is complete when: - All subtasks above are completed and checked off. - A Git commit is created where the **first line** of the commit message matches the Commit Message in Metadata exactly, followed by a blank line, then additional details. - The commit is pushed to the remote on the branch matching the **Branch** in Metadata exactly. - The commit is submitted as a **pull request** to `master`, reviewed, and **merged** before this issue is marked done. --- *Filed by [AUTO-UAT-4] UAT Test Worker — v3.2.0 Invariants UAT* --- **Automated by CleverAgents Bot** Agent: new-issue-creator

✅ Verified — Documentation bug: invariant precedence chain docstring is missing the action scope. This is a correctness issue in the spec/docs for v3.2.0 invariant management. MoSCoW: Should-have. Priority: Medium — documentation accuracy matters but doesn't block implementation.
