Metadata

Commit Message: feat(cli): implement missing actor context list, show, and clear subcommands
Branch: feat/actor-context-list-show-clear

Background and Context

The specification defines the following agents actor context subcommands:

agents actor context remove [--yes|-y] (--all|-a|<NAME>)
agents actor context list [<REGEX>]
agents actor context show <NAME>
agents actor context export (--output|-o) <FILE> <NAME>
agents actor context import [--update] (--input|-i) <FILE> [<NAME>]
agents actor context clear [--yes|-y] (--all|-a|<NAME>)

The current implementation in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor_context.py only implements three of these six subcommands:

✅ actor context remove — implemented
❌ actor context list — MISSING
❌ actor context show — MISSING
✅ actor context export — implemented
✅ actor context import — implemented
❌ actor context clear — MISSING

The actor_context.py file only registers three @app.command() decorators: remove, export, and import.

Current Behavior

Running any of the following commands fails with "No such command":

agents actor context list
agents actor context show docs
agents actor context clear docs

Expected Behavior

Per the specification:

`agents actor context list [<REGEX>]`

Lists all named actor contexts with optional regex filter. Should display a table with context names, file counts, sizes, and timestamps. Output includes a Stats panel with total files, total size, estimated tokens, and languages.

`agents actor context show <NAME>`

Shows a summary of a named actor context. Displays a Context Summary panel with context name, file count, total size, estimated tokens, and creation date.

`agents actor context clear [--yes|-y] (--all|-a|<NAME>)`

Clears all files/messages from a context but keeps the context directory itself (unlike remove which deletes the context entirely). Supports --all/-a to target all contexts and --yes/-y to skip confirmation. Displays a Context Cleared panel with items removed and storage freed, plus a Retention panel showing the context is preserved.

Acceptance Criteria

agents actor context list lists all named contexts with stats
agents actor context list <REGEX> filters contexts by regex pattern
agents actor context show <NAME> shows context summary details
agents actor context clear <NAME> clears context messages/files but preserves the context
agents actor context clear --all clears all contexts
agents actor context clear --yes skips confirmation
All three commands support --format json|yaml|plain|rich output
All three commands return exit code 1 on error (e.g., context not found)
BDD tests cover all new commands

Supporting Information

Spec reference: docs/specification.md lines 284–288 (synopsis) and §5863 (actor context list), §5978 (actor context show), §6256 (actor context clear)
Implementation file: src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor_context.py — only has remove, export, import
Related BDD feature file: features/actor_context_cmds.feature — only tests remove, export, import
The ContextManager class in src/cleveragents/reactive/context_manager.py provides the underlying persistence layer

Key distinction between clear and remove:

remove — deletes the context directory entirely (no recovery)
clear — removes messages/files from the context but preserves the context directory itself

Subtasks

Implement actor context list [REGEX] command in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor_context.py
Implement actor context show <NAME> command in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor_context.py
Implement actor context clear [--yes|-y] (--all|-a|<NAME>) command in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor_context.py
Add JSON/YAML/plain/rich output format support to all three new commands
Add BDD scenarios for actor context list to features/actor_context_cmds.feature
Add BDD scenarios for actor context show to features/actor_context_cmds.feature
Add BDD scenarios for actor context clear to features/actor_context_cmds.feature
Add corresponding step definitions to features/steps/actor_context_cmds_steps.py
Run nox -s unit_tests -- features/actor_context_cmds.feature and verify all tests pass
Verify coverage remains above threshold

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.
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.

✅ Triage: Verified [AUTO-OWNR-1]

Valid missing feature: 3 of 6 spec-required agents actor context subcommands are missing from the implementation — list, show, and clear. The spec defines all six subcommands but only remove, export, and import are implemented. This is a significant functional gap.

Note: While labeled as a bug, this is actually a missing feature (the commands were never implemented). Classifying as Type/Feature since there is no existing implementation to fix.

Assigning to v3.2.0 as actor context management is a core M3 feature. Priority High — 3 of 6 required subcommands are completely missing.

MoSCoW: Must Have — the spec requires all six actor context subcommands. The feature is incomplete without list, show, and clear.
