Metadata

Commit message: fix(plan): implement agents plan diff --correction — correction diff output and optional plan_id
Branch name: fix/plan-diff-correction-stub

Background and Context

During UAT testing of the Subplans, Checkpoints & Merge Strategies feature area, the agents plan diff --correction command was found to be a stub that does not implement the correction diff functionality required by the v3.3.0 specification.

Feature Area: Subplans, Checkpoints & Merge Strategies
Spec Reference: docs/specification.md — agents plan diff section (line 15323)

The --correction path in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py (lines 3296–3307) currently displays a placeholder panel and exits immediately, with no actual diff computation. Additionally, the CLI signature violates the spec by requiring plan_id as a mandatory positional argument even when --correction is used.

Expected Behavior

Per the specification, agents plan diff --correction <CORRECTION_ATTEMPT_ID> should show a full correction diff including:

Correction metadata (correction ID, original decision, mode)
File-by-file comparison (before/after)
Patch preview (corrected vs original)
Structured JSON/YAML output with correction_diff, comparison, and patch_preview fields

The spec signature is: agents plan diff (--correction <CORRECTION_ATTEMPT_ID>|<PLAN_ID>) — these are mutually exclusive alternatives, meaning plan_id must be optional when --correction is provided.

Acceptance Criteria

agents plan diff --correction <CORRECTION_ATTEMPT_ID> returns a structured response with a correction_diff object containing: correction ID, original decision, mode, files changed, insertions, deletions
Response includes a comparison array with per-file before/after stats
Response includes a patch_preview array with unified diff hunks
plan_id positional argument is optional (not required) when --correction is used — the spec signature (--correction <CORRECTION_ATTEMPT_ID>|<PLAN_ID>) must be respected
No stub panel is shown; actual diff data is computed and returned
Satisfies M4 feature requirement #9: "agents plan diff — Shows diff of plan changes or correction attempt"

Subtasks

Remove or gate the stub panel in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py lines 3296–3307
Make plan_id positional argument optional when --correction flag is present
Implement correction diff computation logic (fetch correction attempt, compute before/after diff)
Build correction_diff output object with required fields (correction ID, original decision, mode, files changed, insertions, deletions)
Build comparison array with per-file before/after stats
Build patch_preview array with unified diff hunks
Add/update unit tests for --correction path
Add/update integration/UAT tests verifying the full correction diff output structure

Definition of Done

This issue is closed when:

agents plan diff --correction <CORRECTION_ATTEMPT_ID> produces a fully structured correction diff response matching the spec schema (no stub panel)
plan_id is not required when --correction is used
All acceptance criteria above are met and verified by automated tests
The UAT scenario for M4 feature requirement #9 passes end-to-end

Bug Report

Feature Area: Subplans, Checkpoints & Merge Strategies
Milestone: v3.3.0
Spec Reference: docs/specification.md — agents plan diff section (line 15323)

Expected Behavior

Per the specification, agents plan diff --correction <CORRECTION_ATTEMPT_ID> should show a full correction diff including:

Correction metadata (correction ID, original decision, mode)
File-by-file comparison (before/after)
Patch preview (corrected vs original)
Structured JSON/YAML output with correction_diff, comparison, and patch_preview fields

The spec signature is: agents plan diff (--correction <CORRECTION_ATTEMPT_ID>|<PLAN_ID>) — these are mutually exclusive alternatives.

Actual Behavior

The --correction path in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py (lines 3296–3307) is a stub that displays:

╭─ Correction Diff ─────────────────────────────────╮
│ Correction Attempt: <id>                           │
│ Plan: <plan_id>                                    │
│                                                    │
│ Correction diff will be available after M4.2.      │
╰────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯

Two additional issues:

The implementation requires plan_id as a mandatory positional argument even when --correction is used, violating the spec's mutually exclusive signature.
No actual diff data is computed or returned — the command exits immediately after showing the stub panel.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a plan and execute a correction
Run: agents plan diff --correction <CORRECTION_ATTEMPT_ID> <PLAN_ID>
Observe: stub panel shown instead of actual correction diff

Acceptance Criteria Impact

Violates spec requirement: "agents plan diff — Shows diff of plan changes or correction attempt" (M4 feature requirement #9 in the UAT spec).

The correction diff output must include:

correction_diff object with correction ID, original decision, mode, files changed, insertions, deletions
comparison array with per-file before/after stats
patch_preview array with unified diff hunks
plan_id positional argument must be optional (not required) when --correction is used

✅ Triage Decision [AUTO-OWNR-1]: Verified as a valid stub implementation bug. The agents plan diff --correction command returns placeholder text instead of a real correction diff. Note: This may be a duplicate of #9085 which is already verified with the same assessment. Must Have for v3.3.0.
