Summary

This PR adds a TDD bug-capture test for bug #1080 (execution environment resolution does not honour project-level override at precedence level 2).

Changes:

Added features/tdd_exec_env_resolution_precedence.feature with 3 Behave scenarios
Added features/steps/tdd_exec_env_resolution_precedence_steps.py with step definitions
Added CHANGELOG.md entry for #1101

The feature contains one @tdd_expected_fail scenario that captures the exact bug: calling ExecutionEnvironmentResolver.resolve() with plan_env="host" (priority: fallback) and project_env="container" (priority: override) incorrectly returns "host". Per the spec's 6-level precedence chain, project override (level 2) should beat plan fallback (level 4), so the correct result is "container".

Two additional regression guard scenarios (without @tdd_expected_fail) verify that:

Plan override still beats project override (level 1 vs 2) — passes both competing environments to the resolver
Project override beats host default (level 2 vs 6) — validates priority parameter against enum

Review Fix Summary (PR review round 1)

ID	Category	Fix
C1	Critical	Rebased onto latest master; removed unrelated `docs/timeline.md` revert
M1	Major	Added CHANGELOG.md entry (#1101)
M2	Major	Scenario 2 now passes both `plan_env` and `project_env` to resolver
M3	Major	Scenario 3 now validates `project_priority` against `_VALID_PRIORITIES`
m1	Minor	Added `TODO(#1080):` marker for manual precedence chain
m2	Minor	Fixed docstring: clarified only Scenario 1 uses `@tdd_expected_fail`
m3	Minor	Added `_VALID_PRIORITIES` frozenset and validation assertions
m4	Minor	Moved `ExecutionEnvironmentResolver` import to module level
n1	Note	Added `@mock_only` documentation comment in feature file
n2	Note	Deferred — `@mock_only` tag documentation is out of scope

Bug Analysis

The ExecutionEnvironmentResolver.resolve() method uses a flat priority chain (tool > plan > project > default) that always returns the first non-None value. The specification (§Execution Environment Routing) defines a 6-level chain that interleaves "override" and "fallback" priority modes:

Plan-level with priority: override
Project-level with priority: override ← broken level
Nearest-ancestor devcontainer
Plan-level with priority: fallback
Project-level with priority: fallback
Host (default)

TDD Bug-Capture Review: PR #1115 — Bug #1080 (execution env resolution precedence)

Overall Assessment: REQUEST CHANGES

One issue found: branch naming mismatch with the milestone number.

1. Tag Compliance ✅

Feature-level tags: @tdd_bug @tdd_bug_1080 @mock_only — @tdd_bug and @tdd_bug_1080 present.
Bug-capturing scenario has @tdd_expected_fail at scenario level, which is correct since only one of three scenarios should be expected-fail. The two regression guard scenarios correctly omit @tdd_expected_fail because they test currently-working behavior.
All three required tags (@tdd_bug, @tdd_bug_1080, @tdd_expected_fail) are inherited/applied to the bug-capturing scenario.

2. Branch Naming ❌ ISSUE

Branch: tdd/m5-exec-env-resolution
Milestone: v3.5.0 — but the milestone description explicitly states "M6: Autonomy Hardening"
The branch should be tdd/m6-exec-env-resolution, not tdd/m5-exec-env-resolution.

The milestone numbering is v3.2.0=M3, v3.3.0=M4, v3.5.0=M6 (there is no v3.4.0=M5 in the visible milestones, suggesting M5 is v3.4.0). The branch prefix must match the milestone number from the milestone description.

Action required: Rename the branch from tdd/m5-exec-env-resolution to tdd/m6-exec-env-resolution.

3. File Organization ✅

features/tdd_exec_env_resolution_precedence.feature
features/steps/tdd_exec_env_resolution_precedence_steps.py
No Robot tests — justified in PR body as a pure domain service with no I/O boundaries. Acceptable.

4. Step File Naming ✅

Feature tdd_exec_env_resolution_precedence.feature → steps in tdd_exec_env_resolution_precedence_steps.py — naming convention followed.

5. No Production Code Changes ✅

2 new files, both in features/. Zero modifications to src/.

6. Issue References ✅

PR body: Closes #1101 (the TDD tracking issue for bug #1080).
Bug #1080 referenced in feature file comments and step docstrings.

7. PR Description Quality ✅

Excellent analysis of the 6-level precedence chain from the spec, pinpoints exactly which level is broken (level 2 vs level 4), and includes the bug analysis inline. The decision to skip Robot tests is well-justified.

Summary

One fix required before approval:

Rename branch tdd/m5-exec-env-resolution → tdd/m6-exec-env-resolution to match the v3.5.0 milestone (which is M6, not M5).

Review: REQUEST CHANGES (minor)

Issue Found:

Branch naming mismatch — Branch is tdd/m5-exec-env-resolution but milestone v3.5.0 corresponds to M6 (Autonomy Hardening). Per the tdd/mN- naming convention, this should be tdd/m6-exec-env-resolution.

Everything else checks out:

Tag compliance: @tdd_expected_fail @tdd_bug @tdd_bug_1080 all correct
File organization: Feature in features/, steps in features/steps/
Step file naming: Follows convention
No production code changes: Test files only
Issue reference: Closing keyword present
PR description: Clear explanation of the execution environment resolution precedence bug

The test content is well-structured. Only the branch naming needs correction.

Review: APPROVED

TDD tags correct. Smart approach — applies @tdd_expected_fail only to the bug-demonstrating scenario while leaving regression guard scenarios without it. Behave steps fully implemented. CHANGELOG present.

Note

Missing Robot Framework integration tests. Consider adding in a follow-up for consistency.

Review: test: add TDD bug-capture test for #1080 — execution env resolution precedence

Approved. Exemplary TDD PR. Particularly good @tdd_expected_fail scoping — applied only to the actual bug scenario while leaving regression guards untagged. This is the ideal pattern for other TDD PRs to follow.
