Commit Message: fix(cli): align plan correct CLI signature with specification
Branch: fix/plan-correct-cli-spec-alignment

Background and Context

The agents plan correct CLI command in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py (function correct_decision) exposes a --plan/-p flag and a --format/-f flag that are not present in the specification.

The specification (docs/specification.md, §CLI Commands — plan) defines the command signature as:

agents plan correct --mode (revert|append) (--guidance|-g) <GUIDANCE>
                   [--dry-run] [--yes|-y] <DECISION_ID>

The current implementation signature is:

def correct_decision(
    identifier: str,          # positional: Plan ID or Decision ID
    mode: str,                # --mode / -m  (spec only shows --mode, no -m shorthand)
    guidance: str,            # --guidance / -g  ✅
    dry_run: bool,            # --dry-run  ✅
    yes: bool,                # --yes / -y  ✅
    plan_id: str | None,      # --plan / -p  ← NOT IN SPEC
    fmt: str,                 # --format / -f  ← NOT IN SPEC
)

The --plan/-p flag was added as a workaround for Bug #1025 (tracked as @tdd_issue_4285 in features/tdd_plan_correct_auto_resolve.feature), where _resolve_active_plan_id() fails in isolated environments. However, this workaround introduces a CLI flag that is not part of the specification, creating a divergence between the spec and the implementation.

Additionally, the --mode flag has a -m shorthand in the implementation, but the spec only shows --mode without a shorthand.

Current Behavior

Running agents plan correct --help shows:

--plan/-p flag (not in spec)
--format/-f flag (not in spec)
--mode/-m shorthand (spec only shows --mode)

Expected Behavior

The agents plan correct command signature should match the specification exactly:

agents plan correct --mode (revert|append) (--guidance|-g) <GUIDANCE>
                   [--dry-run] [--yes|-y] <DECISION_ID>

The --plan/-p flag should either:

Be added to the specification (if it is an intentional extension), OR
Be removed from the implementation once Bug #1025 (_resolve_active_plan_id failure in isolated environments) is fixed

Acceptance Criteria

The agents plan correct CLI signature matches the specification exactly
Either the --plan/-p flag is documented in the spec, or it is removed from the implementation
The --mode shorthand -m is either documented in the spec or removed
The --format/-f flag is either documented in the spec or removed
BDD tests verify the CLI signature matches the spec
All existing tests continue to pass

Supporting Information

Specification reference: docs/specification.md §CLI Commands — plan
Implementation: src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py function correct_decision (line 3461)
Related bug: features/tdd_plan_correct_auto_resolve.feature (@tdd_issue_1025, @tdd_issue_4285)
Feature file: features/plan_cli_spec_alignment.feature

Subtasks

Compare full plan correct CLI signature against specification
Determine if --plan/-p flag should be added to spec or removed from implementation
Determine if --mode/-m shorthand should be added to spec or removed
Determine if --format/-f flag should be added to spec or removed
Update spec or implementation to align them
Add/update BDD scenarios in features/plan_cli_spec_alignment.feature to verify alignment
Run nox -s unit_tests -- features/plan_cli_spec_alignment.feature to verify
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 lines providing relevant details about the implementation.

✅ Triage: Verified [AUTO-OWNR-1]

Valid spec alignment bug: agents plan correct exposes --plan/-p and --format/-f flags that are not in the specification, and --mode/-m shorthand that is not in the spec. The --plan/-p flag was added as a workaround for Bug #1025 but creates a CLI/spec divergence.

The issue correctly identifies that the resolution requires either updating the spec to include these flags (if they are intentional extensions) or removing them from the implementation once the underlying bug is fixed.

Assigning to v3.3.0 (Corrections + Subplans + Checkpoints) as plan correct is a core M4 command. Priority Medium — spec alignment issue, the command still functions.

MoSCoW: Should Have — CLI/spec alignment is important for documentation accuracy and user trust, but the command remains functional.
