  • Commit Message: fix(cli): wrap automation-profile show output in spec-required JSON/YAML envelope
  • Branch: fix/automation-profile-show-output-envelope

Background and Context

The spec (docs/specification.md line 17268) defines the JSON output for agents automation-profile show as a structured envelope:

{
  "command": "automation-profile show",
  "status": "ok",
  "exit_code": 0,
  "data": { ... profile fields ... },
  "timing": { "started": "...", "duration_ms": ... },
  "messages": ["Profile loaded"]
}

The CLI _profile_spec_dict() function in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/automation_profile.py (lines 72–110) currently returns a flat dict containing only the profile fields directly (name, description, source, phase_transitions, etc.) with no envelope wrapper. The timing and messages fields are entirely absent, and the data nesting is missing.

This means any consumer of agents automation-profile show --format json (scripts, CI pipelines, other agents) receives a non-spec-compliant response that is missing required top-level keys.

Feature Area: Sandbox & Checkpoint Safety Model

Expected Behavior

agents automation-profile show <NAME> --format json returns the full spec-required envelope with top-level keys command, status, exit_code, data, timing, and messages:

{
  "command": "automation-profile show",
  "status": "ok",
  "exit_code": 0,
  "data": {
    "name": "...",
    "description": "...",
    "source": "...",
    "phase_transitions": { ... },
    "decision_automation": { ... },
    "self_repair": { ... },
    "execution_controls": { ... },
    "guards": { ... }
  },
  "timing": {
    "started": "2026-04-14T00:00:00Z",
    "duration_ms": 12
  },
  "messages": ["Profile loaded"]
}

The same envelope structure must be applied to --format yaml output.

Acceptance Criteria

  • agents automation-profile show <NAME> --format json returns a JSON object with top-level keys: command, status, exit_code, data, timing, messages
  • data contains the profile fields: name, description, source, phase_transitions, decision_automation, self_repair, execution_controls, guards
  • timing contains started (ISO-8601 timestamp) and duration_ms (integer)
  • messages contains ["Profile loaded"]
  • --format yaml output uses the same envelope structure
  • All BDD tests pass with no regressions in other automation-profile commands

Subtasks

  • Wrap _profile_spec_dict() output in the spec-required envelope (command, status, exit_code, data, timing, messages)
  • Add timing with started (ISO-8601) and duration_ms fields
  • Add messages: ["Profile loaded"]
  • Update BDD tests to assert the envelope structure
  • Verify YAML format output also uses the envelope

Definition of Done

  • agents automation-profile show <NAME> --format json returns a JSON object with top-level keys command, status, exit_code, data, timing, messages
  • data contains the profile fields (name, description, source, phase_transitions, decision_automation, self_repair, execution_controls, guards)
  • All BDD tests pass
  • No regressions in other automation-profile commands

🔍 Triage Decision

Status: VERIFIED

Type: Bug
MoSCoW: Must have
Priority: High
Milestone: v3.2.0

Reasoning: The automation-profile show --format json/yaml command is missing the spec-required output envelope, making the output non-compliant with the CLI spec; must be fixed in v3.2.0.

Triage: Verified [AUTO-OWNR-1]

Valid bug: automation-profile show --format json/yaml is missing the spec-required output envelope. This breaks machine-readable output for automation profile inspection.

Assigning to v3.2.0 as automation profiles are used in M3 workflows. Priority High — machine-readable output is broken.

MoSCoW: Must Have — consistent output envelopes are required for tooling integration and scripting.
