From afe6b849fe34342500f8e89cabf81f57d86674be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeffrey Phillips Freeman Date: Sun, 29 Mar 2026 06:07:13 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] feat(cli): implement missing output element types and handles MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Implement LiveMaterializationStrategy as the third materialization strategy type (alongside sequential_buffer and accumulate) per spec §26456-26492. The live strategy renders element updates in-place at ~15 fps by tracking a dirty-element set and coalescing updates into frame redraws. RichMaterializer now extends LiveMaterializationStrategy instead of _BaseBufferStrategy, enabling supports_incremental_updates=True. Element rendering still delegates to the colour renderer for visual formatting, maintaining backward compatibility. Changes: - Add _LiveMaterializationStrategy class with frame-rate throttling, dirty-element tracking, and per-frame composition in declaration order - Update RichMaterializer to extend _LiveMaterializationStrategy - Export LiveMaterializationStrategy from materializers.py and __init__.py - Update SD-2 and SD-7 documentation in __init__.py - Add vulture whitelist entry for LiveMaterializationStrategy - Add 5 Behave scenarios covering live strategy rendering, incremental update support, dirty-element coalescing, all-element-type rendering, and frame rate validation - Add step definitions for the new scenarios ISSUES CLOSED: #903 --- features/output_rendering.feature | 48 +++++ features/steps/output_rendering_steps.py | 31 ++++ src/cleveragents/cli/output/__init__.py | 17 +- src/cleveragents/cli/output/materializers.py | 186 ++++++++++++++++++- vulture_whitelist.py | 1 + 5 files changed, 272 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/features/output_rendering.feature b/features/output_rendering.feature index 7ac3a77f1..fd1a0bed3 100644 --- a/features/output_rendering.feature +++ b/features/output_rendering.feature @@ -2186,3 +2186,51 @@ Feature: Output Rendering Framework Given an OutputSession with format "plain" When I create a tree handle with root label "Root" Then querying a path with wrong root returns None + + # ================================================================ + # LiveMaterializationStrategy + # ================================================================ + + Scenario: LiveMaterializationStrategy renders element on creation + Given an OutputSession with format "rich" using RichMaterializer + When I create a panel handle with title "Live Panel" + And I set entry "Key" to "Val" + And I close the panel handle + And the session is closed + Then the rich output contains "Live Panel" + And the rich output contains "Key" + + Scenario: LiveMaterializationStrategy supports incremental updates + Given a RichMaterializer instance + Then the rich materializer supports incremental updates + And the rich materializer strategy name is "rich" + + Scenario: LiveMaterializationStrategy coalesces dirty elements + Given an OutputSession with format "rich" using RichMaterializer + When I create a text handle with content "initial" + And I append text " more" + And I close the text handle + And the session is closed + Then the rich output contains "initial more" + + Scenario: LiveMaterializationStrategy renders all element types + Given an OutputSession with format "rich" using RichMaterializer + When I create a tree handle with root label "Root" + And I add a tree child "child" under "Root" + And I close the tree handle + And I create a code handle with content "x = 1" and language "python" + And I close the code handle + And I create a diff handle with file_a "a.py" and file_b "b.py" + And I add a diff hunk with header "@@ -1 +1 @@" and context line "ctx" and add line "new" + And I close the diff handle + And I create a separator with style "line" + And I create an action hint with commands "deploy" + And the session is closed + Then the rich output contains "Root" + And the rich output contains "x = 1" + And the rich output contains "a.py" + And the rich output contains "deploy" + + Scenario: LiveMaterializationStrategy frame rate is approximately 15 fps + Given a RichMaterializer instance + Then the live strategy frame rate is 15.0 diff --git a/features/steps/output_rendering_steps.py b/features/steps/output_rendering_steps.py index ef9a5c462..f1c502e99 100644 --- a/features/steps/output_rendering_steps.py +++ b/features/steps/output_rendering_steps.py @@ -2738,3 +2738,34 @@ def step_find_node_wrong_root(context: Context) -> None: context.tree_handle._path_cache[""] = context.tree_handle._element.root result = context.tree_handle._find_node("WrongRoot/child") assert result is None, f"Expected None, got {result}" + + +# =========================================================================== +# LiveMaterializationStrategy +# =========================================================================== + + +@given("a RichMaterializer instance") +def step_given_rich_materializer_instance(context: Context) -> None: + context.rich_mat = RichMaterializer() + + +@then("the rich materializer supports incremental updates") +def step_rich_supports_incremental(context: Context) -> None: + assert context.rich_mat.supports_incremental_updates is True, ( + "Expected supports_incremental_updates=True" + ) + + +@then('the rich materializer strategy name is "{name}"') +def step_rich_strategy_name(context: Context, name: str) -> None: + assert context.rich_mat.strategy_name == name, ( + f"Expected strategy_name={name!r}, got {context.rich_mat.strategy_name!r}" + ) + + +@then("the live strategy frame rate is {rate}") +def step_live_frame_rate(context: Context, rate: str) -> None: + assert float(rate) == context.rich_mat._FRAME_RATE, ( + f"Expected frame rate {rate}, got {context.rich_mat._FRAME_RATE}" + ) diff --git a/src/cleveragents/cli/output/__init__.py b/src/cleveragents/cli/output/__init__.py index 61ad3ec74..66bb866a5 100644 --- a/src/cleveragents/cli/output/__init__.py +++ b/src/cleveragents/cli/output/__init__.py @@ -17,10 +17,11 @@ yet needed in the current milestone. into the strategy classes directly, which is simpler and sufficient for the six built-in formats. -**SD-2 (RichMaterializer delegates to ColorMaterializer)** -
