Summary

  • features/steps/plan_executor_coverage_steps.py builds plans via _cov2_make_plan() which returns a bare MagicMock.
  • The mock only sets ad-hoc attributes like .state and .decision_root_id, bypassing the Plan domain model entirely.
  • As a result, these behaviours never exercise Pydantic validation or schema invariants, and guard clauses that rely on processing_state run against mock attributes instead of the real property.

Impact

  • Schema changes (e.g. renaming processing_state, adding validation rules, requiring identity) can ship without the coverage suite noticing, because the mocked plans accept any attribute.
  • The Execute guard path is especially brittle: _guard_execute checks plan.state, so tests pass even if the domain property changes again, leaving production code untested.
  • The mock hides bugs in decision-building because _build_decisions never sees real definition_of_done or invariants from a validated Plan.

Proposal

  • Introduce a typed plan fixture helper (can reuse the helper from the Plan CLI issue) that returns real Plan instances with configurable phase and processing_state.
  • Update _cov2_make_plan and related helpers in features/steps/plan_executor_coverage_steps.py to use the typed fixture instead of MagicMock.
  • Add assertions in the coverage steps to confirm the fixture Plan reports the expected processing_state via the domain property, ensuring guard checks run against real data.

Additional Context

  • Current mock helper: features/steps/plan_executor_coverage_steps.py _cov2_make_plan() sets plan = MagicMock() and assigns .state.
  • PlanExecutor._guard_execute (in src/cleveragents/application/services/plan_executor.py) expects the real Plan model; using MagicMock bypasses these checks.
