Summary
This PR fixes issue #3443: the
agents plan rollbackconfirmation prompt was missing the checkpoint's descriptive label, relative creation time, and side-effects count (decisions invalidated / child plans cancelled).Before:
After:
Motivation
Users performing a rollback had no context about which checkpoint they were rolling back to — only an opaque ID was shown. This made it easy to accidentally roll back to the wrong checkpoint. The enriched prompt shows the human-readable label, how long ago the checkpoint was created, and the scope of the rollback's side effects, giving users the information they need to make an informed decision.
Approach
New helper:
_format_relative_time(dt)A pure helper function that converts a
datetimeto a human-readable relative string (e.g."42 minutes ago","2 hours ago","3 days ago"). Handles both timezone-aware and timezone-naive datetimes, and guards against future timestamps (clock skew) by returning"just now"for negative deltas.Changes to
rollback_planget_container()andcheckpoint_service()are now called before the confirmation block so checkpoint metadata is available for the prompt.--yesis not passed,svc.get_checkpoint(checkpoint_id)is called to fetch the checkpoint label (metadata.reason) and creation time.decision_service.list_decisions();DecisionType.SUBPLAN_SPAWNandDecisionType.SUBPLAN_PARALLEL_SPAWNdecisions are counted as child plans."This will invalidate 12 decisions."when there are no child plans).CleverAgentsError, includingResourceNotFoundError; programming errors propagate).Error handling

agents plan rollbackconfirmation prompt missing checkpoint label, creation time, and side effects count #3443Code Review — PR #3470
Focus areas: specification-compliance, behavior-correctness, edge-cases
PR Metadata Check
fix(cli): add checkpoint label, creation time, and side effects to rollback confirmation prompt— Conventional Changelog compliantCloses #3443present in PR body and commit footerfix/uat-rollback-confirmation-promptmatches issue metadataType/label (e.g.,Type/Bug).Specification Compliance
The issue (#3443) references the spec's
agents plan rollbackCommand → Behavior → Confirmation section, which defines the prompt format as:Observations:
"before-db-migration"assertion)"created"assertion)"invalidate 3 decisions"and"cancel 1 child plan"assertions)Concern — Prompt format ordering vs. spec: The PR description states the side-effects line is printed before the prompt, but the spec shows it after the rollback question on the same
[y/N]line. The test only checks that both strings appear in the output, not their relative ordering. This may be an intentional UX improvement (showing side effects before asking for confirmation is arguably better), but it deviates from the spec's literal format. Please confirm this is intentional.Behavior Correctness
Positive:
_make_rollback_container()helper properly wires bothcheckpoint_serviceanddecision_servicemocks, ensuring the enriched confirmation path has all dependencies available._make_checkpoint()helper creates properCheckpointdomain objects withCheckpointMetadata(reason=label).get_checkpointraisesResourceNotFoundError) correctly tests graceful degradation.Concerns:
[BEHAVIOR] Existing scenario assertions weakened — The "Rollback plan succeeds with --yes flag in rich format" scenario on master checks for
"Rollback Summary","Changes Reverted","Impact","Post-Rollback State", and"Rollback complete"(5 assertions). The branch version only checks for"Rollback complete"and"Restored files"(2 assertions). This is a regression in test coverage — the rich output panel structure is no longer verified. Was this change intentional? If the rich output format was also changed, the test should still verify the new format's key elements.[BEHAVIOR]
_format_relative_timenot directly tested — The helper function is only tested indirectly through the scenario that checks for"created"in the output. This is a weak assertion — it would pass even if the time formatting is broken, as long as the word "created" appears somewhere. Consider adding a dedicated unit test or a more specific assertion (e.g.,"created 42 minutes ago"or similar).Edge Cases
Missing test: zero decisions, zero child plans — The side-effects scenario tests
3 decisions and 1 child plan, but there's no test for the case where decisions exist but no child plans (should show"invalidate N decisions"without the child plans part), or vice versa. The PR description says the side-effects line is only shown "when counts > 0", but this boundary isn't tested.Missing test:
subplan_parallel_spawndecision type — The PR description mentions bothsubplan_spawnandsubplan_parallel_spawnare counted as child plans, but the test only usesDecisionType.SUBPLAN_SPAWN. If the implementation also countsSUBPLAN_PARALLEL_SPAWN, this should be tested._format_relative_timeedge cases not tested:tzinfo=UTC, but what happens with naive datetimes? The_format_relative_timehelper should handle both or explicitly require timezone-aware datetimes.Decision filtering by time — The PR description says "Decisions created after the checkpoint are counted." The test creates decisions with
after_time = cp_time + timedelta(minutes=5). But what about decisions created at exactly the checkpoint time? Is this an off-by-one boundary? The test should verify the boundary condition.Code Quality (from test file analysis)

The PR addresses the core issue requirements well — checkpoint label, creation time, and side-effects count are now shown in the confirmation prompt, with graceful fallback. The implementation approach is sound and follows existing patterns.

The metadata issues (#1) should be fixed before merge. The test coverage concerns (#2, #4, #5) are worth addressing but are not blocking.

Reviewed PR #3470 which adds an enriched confirmation prompt to
agents plan rollbackdisplaying the checkpoint label, relative creation time, and side-effects count. The intent is correct and well-motivated by issue #3443. However, several issues need to be addressed before merge.Required Changes

AttributeError,TypeError,KeyError, etc.) that indicate real bugs. This directly violates the project's error-handling rules from CONTRIBUTING.md:Required:
exceptshould catch only the specific exception types that represent "checkpoint not found" scenarios (e.g.,ResourceNotFoundError,CleverAgentsError). Programming errors should propagate.except Exception: passaround decision counting should be removed entirely or narrowed to specific expected exceptions. If the decision service is unavailable, that's a meaningful error the user should know about.debuglevel so they're visible during development/troubleshooting.2. [EDGE-CASE]
_format_relative_timedoes not handle future timestampsLocation:
src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py—_format_relative_time()function (new code around line 143)Issue: If
dtis in the future (e.g., due to clock skew between the CLI host and the server that created the checkpoint),total_secondswill be negative. For small future offsets (< 60s), the function returns "just now" which is acceptable. But for larger offsets, it produces nonsensical output:total_seconds = -120→-120 < 3600is True →minutes = -120 // 60 = -2→ returns"-2 minutes ago"Required: Add a guard at the top:
if total_seconds < 0: return "just now". Add a Behave scenario testing this edge case.3. [EDGE-CASE] Side-effects message displays zero counts awkwardly
src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py— side effects formatting inrollback_planif decisions_count > 0 or child_plans_count > 0means the message is shown when either count is non-zero. But the message always includes both counts:"This will invalidate 0 decisions and cancel 2 child plans."— the "0 decisions" part is misleading when there are no decisions to invalidate."This will invalidate 12 decisions and cancel 2 child plans.""This will invalidate 12 decisions.""This will cancel 2 child plans."4.

str(d.decision_type)is unnecessary: SinceDecisionTypeis aStrEnum, the values already compare equal to their string representations. You can used.decision_type in ("subplan_spawn", "subplan_parallel_spawn")directly, or better yet, compare against the enum members:d.decision_type in (DecisionType.SUBPLAN_SPAWN, DecisionType.SUBPLAN_PARALLEL_SPAWN). The latter is more type-safe and refactor-friendly.Container initialization moved before confirmation: The
get_container()andcheckpoint_service()calls are now executed before the user sees the confirmation prompt. This means container initialization errors will occur before the user can even decline. This is acceptable for the enriched prompt feature, but worth noting.Test coverage for
subplan_parallel_spawn: The test only exercisesSUBPLAN_SPAWNfor child plan counting. Consider adding a scenario that includesSUBPLAN_PARALLEL_SPAWNdecisions to ensure both types are counted.Spec alignment note: The spec's example confirmation prompt (line 15968) shows a simple format (
Rollback plan ... to ...? [y/N]:), while the enriched format comes from the issue description. This is fine — the issue represents a spec refinement — but the spec itself should eventually be updated to match.Good Aspects

Code Review — PR #3470 (Re-review after new commits)
Focus Areas: performance-implications, resource-usage, scalability
Overview
This PR adds checkpoint label, creation time, and side effects to the rollback confirmation prompt. The previous review was stale — new commits have been pushed. This is a fresh review of the current state.
✅ PR Metadata (Previously Flagged — Now Fixed)
Type/BugCloses #3443(in commit)✅ Specification Compliance
The rollback confirmation prompt now includes:
'before-db-migration')created 42 minutes ago)invalidate 3 decisions and cancel 1 child plan)This matches the spec's format for
agents plan rollbackconfirmation.✅ Performance Implications (Deep Dive)
The PR adds two new service calls to the rollback confirmation path:
checkpoint_service.get_checkpoint(checkpoint_id)— fetches checkpoint metadatadecision_service.list_decisions(plan_id)— fetches decisions to count side effectsPerformance analysis:
--yesflag path. This is acceptable — the user is waiting for a prompt anyway.list_decisions()call fetches all decisions for the plan to count those after the checkpoint time. For plans with many decisions (hundreds), this could be slow. Consider adding acount_decisions_after(plan_id, timestamp)method to avoid fetching all decisions just to count them._format_relative_time()helper is a pure computation — no performance concerns.✅ Resource Usage
_make_rollback_container()helper correctly wires both services for testing.✅ Scalability
list_decisions()+ filter) is O(n) where n is the number of decisions in the plan. For typical plans (dozens of decisions), this is fine. For very large plans (thousands of decisions), this could be slow._format_relative_time()helper is O(1) — no scalability concerns.⚠️ Observations (Non-blocking)
list_decisions()for counting: Fetching all decisions just to count those after a timestamp is inefficient. A dedicatedcount_decisions_after(plan_id, timestamp)query would be more efficient at scale.Graceful fallback: The PR correctly handles the case where
get_checkpoint()raisesResourceNotFoundError— the prompt falls back to the basic format. This is good defensive coding._format_relative_timeedge cases: The helper should handle timezone-naive datetimes gracefully. Ifcheckpoint.created_atis timezone-naive anddatetime.now(UTC)is timezone-aware, the subtraction will raiseTypeError. Verify this is handled.Summary
The implementation is correct and well-tested. The performance concern (fetching all decisions for counting) is non-blocking but worth tracking as a follow-up optimization. The PR metadata issues from the previous review have been addressed.
