Summary

Fixed PlanLifecycleService.start_strategize() to record a prompt_definition decision as the root instead of strategy_choice. The root decision now correctly uses question="What is the plan prompt?" and chosen_option=plan.description, ensuring the decision tree accurately reflects the plan's prompt definition as the foundational decision during the Strategize phase.

Changes

  • src/cleveragents/application/services/plan_lifecycle_service.py: Updated _try_record_decision call in start_strategize() to use decision_type=DecisionType.PROMPT_DEFINITION instead of strategy_choice, with appropriate question and chosen_option parameters
  • features/plan_lifecycle_bug9061.feature: New BDD feature file with 2 scenarios verifying the correct decision type, question, and chosen_option are recorded
  • features/steps/plan_lifecycle_bug9061_steps.py: New step definitions implementing the feature file test scenarios

Testing

  • All 2 new BDD scenarios pass
  • All existing tests in plan_lifecycle_service_coverage_r2.feature continue to pass
  • nox -s lint passes
  • nox -s unit_tests passes for the new feature file

Closes #9061

Changed PlanLifecycleService.start_strategize() to record a
prompt_definition decision as the root instead of strategy_choice.
The decision now uses question='What is the plan prompt?' and
chosen_option=plan.description, conforming to the decision model spec.

Added BDD tests verifying the root decision type, question, and
chosen_option match the plan description.

Code Review — PR #9255

Verdict: COMMENT (minor issues to address)

Primary Focus: Correctness and spec alignment (PR 9255 % 5 = 0)


Summary

This PR fixes PlanLifecycleService.start_strategize() to record a prompt_definition decision as the root of the decision tree instead of strategy_choice. The core fix is correct and well-targeted.


Passing Checks

  1. Core fix is correct: The 3-line change in plan_lifecycle_service.py correctly changes:

    • decision_type="strategy_choice"decision_type=DecisionType.PROMPT_DEFINITION (uses enum, not raw string — improvement)
    • question="Which strategy should the plan follow?"question="What is the plan prompt?"
    • chosen_option=f"Begin strategize phase for plan {plan_id}"chosen_option=plan.description
      This aligns with the spec: "prompt_definition: Root decision — the plan prompt (Strategize phase)".
  2. Commit message: Follows conventional commits format (fix(plan-lifecycle):) with ISSUES CLOSED: #9061 footer.

  3. PR label: Type/Bug label is present.

  4. Milestone: Assigned to v3.2.0.

  5. Closing keyword: PR body contains Closes #9061.

  6. No bare except: clauses: Step file uses except Exception as e: correctly.

  7. Test approach: Mock-based capturing of record_decision calls is appropriate for unit-level BDD testing. The mock correctly captures kwargs and verifies decision_type, parent_decision_id, question, and chosen_option.

  8. Architecture compliance: Fix stays within the Application Service layer; no CLI-layer DB access.


⚠️ Issues Found

Minor Issues

1. BDD Feature File Missing Tags (features/plan_lifecycle_bug9061.feature)

The feature file has no BDD tags. Per project conventions, feature files should have appropriate tags (e.g., @a2a, @session, @cli, or at minimum a feature-area tag). Without tags, these scenarios cannot be selectively run or excluded from CI pipelines.

# Missing tags — should have something like:
@plan_lifecycle @bug9061
Feature: Plan lifecycle records prompt_definition as root decision during Strategize

2. CHANGELOG.md Not Updated

The PR commit does not include a CHANGELOG.md entry for this bug fix. Per quality standards, CHANGELOG.md should be updated for each PR. Other recent PRs in this repo (e.g., the concurrency fix for #7989) include CHANGELOG.md updates.

3. CONTRIBUTORS.md Not Updated

Similarly, CONTRIBUTORS.md was not updated in this PR. Per quality standards, both files should be updated.

4. Acceptance Criteria Partially Covered

The linked issue #9061 lists these acceptance criteria:

  • start_strategize() records a prompt_definition decision as root with correct question and chosen_option
  • BDD scenario verifies root decision type is prompt_definition
  • decision_root_id on the plan points to the prompt_definition decision — not explicitly tested
  • agents plan tree shows prompt_definition as root node — not tested (may be out of scope for this PR)
  • agents plan explain shows the prompt_definition decision — not tested (may be out of scope)
  • Coverage remains >= 97%

The decision_root_id assignment is worth verifying. Looking at the service code, _try_record_decision returns None (it does not capture the returned decision ID to update plan.decision_root_id). If decision_root_id is supposed to be set to the prompt_definition decision ID, this may be a separate gap — but it may also be handled elsewhere. A test or comment clarifying this would be helpful.


Recommendation

The core fix is correct and the primary bug is addressed. The issues above are minor:

  • Tags on the feature file are a low-effort improvement
  • CHANGELOG.md and CONTRIBUTORS.md updates are required by project standards
  • The decision_root_id question is worth a quick check

These are non-blocking for the correctness of the fix itself, but should be addressed before merge per project quality standards.
