Fix three inaccuracies in the Custom Sandbox Strategies section:

1. Rename SandboxStrategy to SandboxStrategyProtocol to match the
   implementation in sandbox_strategy.py (Protocol suffix is the
   correct Python convention for structural protocols)

2. Correct write() return type from Change to DiffEntry — Change
   does not exist in the sandbox strategy module; DiffEntry is the
   actual Pydantic model used

3. Replace vague registration description with concrete TOML config
   example showing sandbox.custom_strategies.<name>.module and .class
   keys, plus YAML resource type reference

All corrections verified against:
  src/cleveragents/domain/models/core/sandbox_strategy.py

Code Review — PR #4583

Reviewer focus areas: architecture-alignment, module-boundaries, interface-contracts

This is a docs-only PR correcting three factual inaccuracies in the #### Custom Sandbox Strategies section of docs/specification.md. All three corrections were verified against the implementation at src/cleveragents/domain/models/core/sandbox_strategy.py.


Verification Against Implementation

# Change Spec (before) Spec (after) Implementation Verified
1 Class name SandboxStrategy SandboxStrategyProtocol class SandboxStrategyProtocol(Protocol):
2 write() return type Change DiffEntry def write(...) -> DiffEntry:
3 Registration config Vague prose Concrete TOML + YAML examples Module docstring confirms sandbox.custom_strategies.<name>.module/.class

All corrections are factually accurate. The old spec referenced a non-existent type Change and used the wrong class name — these would actively mislead anyone implementing a custom sandbox strategy.

Architecture Alignment (Deep Dive)

  • Protocol naming: SandboxStrategyProtocol follows the Python convention of suffixing Protocol classes. This is consistent with the codebase's naming patterns.
  • Interface contract: The corrected 9-method protocol with proper return types (DiffEntry for write(), DiffView for diff()) now accurately reflects the implementation's interface contract.
  • Registration mechanism: The new TOML/YAML examples correctly separate concerns — configuration layer handles strategy registration (module + class), while resource type definitions reference strategies by name. This maintains proper module boundaries.

Module Boundaries (Deep Dive)

The registration config change is architecturally sound:

  • Strategy classes live in user-defined Python modules (domain/infrastructure boundary)
  • Registration is via TOML config (configuration layer)
  • Resource types reference strategies by name (resource definition layer)
  • No cross-layer coupling introduced

Interface Contracts (Deep Dive)

The corrected protocol now accurately documents:

  • All 9 lifecycle methods: create, read, write, diff, commit, rollback, checkpoint, restore_checkpoint, cleanup
  • Correct parameter types (including SandboxRef, Resource)
  • Correct return types (SandboxRef, bytes, DiffEntry, DiffView, None)

CONTRIBUTING.md Compliance

  • Commit format: docs: architecture — ... follows Conventional Changelog
  • Closing keyword: Resolves #4523 present
  • Type label: Type/Documentation present
  • needs feedback label: Appropriate for spec changes requiring human approval
  • No code changes: No test/coverage/lint concerns

⚠️ Minor Process Issue (Action Required)

The linked issue #4523 is assigned to milestone v3.8.0, but this PR has no milestone assigned. Per CONTRIBUTING.md: "Every PR must be assigned to the same milestone as its linked issue." Please assign milestone v3.8.0 to this PR before merge.

📋 Spec-as-Source-of-Truth Consideration

The project convention states the specification is the authoritative source of truth. This PR updates the spec to match the implementation, which is the reverse direction. However, this is a legitimate correction scenario:

  1. The implementation was done per issue #586
  2. The spec simply wasn't updated at the time
  3. The old spec referenced a non-existent type (Change)
  4. The needs feedback label correctly signals this needs human approval

This is the proper workflow for spec corrections — the human reviewer should confirm these are indeed corrections (spec catching up to approved implementation) rather than unauthorized architectural changes.

Recommendation

LGTM — All changes are factually correct, well-documented, and architecturally sound. The only action item is assigning the v3.8.0 milestone. A non-author reviewer should formally approve this PR.

Architect Review: Approved

All three corrections are architecturally sound:

  1. SandboxStrategySandboxStrategyProtocol: Correct. The Protocol suffix is the standard Python convention for structural protocols and matches the implementation.

  2. ChangeDiffEntry return type: Correct. Change doesn't exist in the codebase. DiffEntry is the actual Pydantic model.

  3. Registration config clarification: The concrete TOML example is much better than the vague description.

Classification: Factual corrections — the implementation is correct and the spec needs to catch up. No architectural decisions are being changed.

Recommendation: Ready to merge.

Formal Review — PR #4583 | Decision: REQUEST CHANGES 🔄

Reviewer focus areas: performance-implications, resource-usage, scalability (+ standard checks)

Note

: Forgejo prevents self-review (PR author = reviewer). Posting formal review decision as a comment per project convention.

This is a documentation-only PR correcting three factual inaccuracies in docs/specification.md. The documentation changes themselves are correct and well-executed. However, there is one blocking issue that must be resolved before merge.


Documentation Changes — Independently Verified

I verified all three corrections against src/cleveragents/domain/models/core/sandbox_strategy.py:

# Change Before After Verified
1 Class name SandboxStrategy SandboxStrategyProtocol Line 127 of impl
2 write() return type Change DiffEntry Line 171 of impl
3 Registration config Vague prose Concrete TOML + YAML examples Module docstring lines 11-14

The diff is clean, minimal, and precisely targeted. No unintended changes.


Focus Area: Performance / Resource / Scalability

This is a documentation-only PR with no code changes. No performance, resource, or scalability implications. The registration config example (Change 3) correctly documents the lazy-loading plugin pattern (module + class keys) — strategies are loaded on demand rather than eagerly imported, which is the appropriate scalable approach for extension points.


CONTRIBUTING.md Compliance

  • Commit format: docs(spec): correct SandboxStrategy protocol name, write() return type, and registration config — valid Conventional Changelog
  • Commit body: Detailed, references implementation file
  • Closing keyword: ISSUES CLOSED: #4523 in commit message
  • Type label: Type/Documentation present
  • Architect approval: Obtained on both issue #4523 and this PR
  • needs feedback label: Appropriately applied for spec changes

⚠️ Missing Milestone (Required before merge)

The linked issue #4523 is assigned to milestone v3.8.0, but this PR has no milestone assigned. Per CONTRIBUTING.md: "Every PR must be assigned to the same milestone as its linked issue." This was flagged in the previous COMMENT review and has not been addressed.


BLOCKING: CI Failure — Stale Branch / TDD Tag Regression

The integration_tests CI job is failing. This blocks merge.

Failing test: Noxfile Contains Coverage Threshold Constant in robot/coverage_threshold.robot

Root cause: The PR branch was created before the fix for issue #4305 was merged to master. That fix removed the tdd_expected_fail tag from Noxfile Contains Coverage Threshold Constant. The PR branch still carries the old version of coverage_threshold.robot with the stale tag.

Evidence:

  • coverage_threshold.robot SHA on PR branch: 7d081bffc55772ac8870713997167a5ea9d754af
  • coverage_threshold.robot SHA on master: b7d6d5ce4663dcf07233639447ce5efd6393befa
  • Issue #4305 is closed/completed — the fix is already in master
  • On master: Noxfile Contains Coverage Threshold Constant has no tdd_expected_fail tag
  • On PR branch: it still has [Tags] coverage config tdd_issue tdd_issue_4305 tdd_expected_fail

The TDD listener correctly detects that this test now passes (the underlying fix is in master), but the tdd_expected_fail tag is still present — so the listener inverts the result to a failure per the project's TDD workflow rules.

CI log confirms:

Noxfile Contains Coverage Threshold Constant :: Verify COVERAGE_TH... | FAIL |
Bug appears to be fixed. Remove the tdd_expected_fail tag from this test and verify the fix through the bug fix workflow. See CONTRIBUTING.md > Bug Fix Workflow.

This is not a problem with the documentation changes in this PR — it is purely a stale branch issue.

Required fix: Rebase the branch onto master:

git checkout spec/fix-sandbox-strategy-protocol-name
git rebase master
git push --force-with-lease origin spec/fix-sandbox-strategy-protocol-name

This will bring in the already-merged fix for #4305 and resolve the CI failure without any additional changes needed.


Required Changes Summary

  1. [BLOCKING] Rebase branch onto master — picks up the already-merged tdd_expected_fail tag removal for tdd_issue_4305 in robot/coverage_threshold.robot. Makes CI green.

  2. [Required] Assign milestone v3.8.0 — matches the linked issue #4523 per CONTRIBUTING.md.


Summary

The documentation content is ready to merge. Both required changes are purely mechanical — a rebase and a milestone assignment. Once CI is green and the milestone is assigned, this PR should be approved.

Formal Review — PR #4583 | Decision: REQUEST CHANGES 🔄

Reviewer focus areas: security-concerns, input-validation, access-control (+ standard checks)

Note

: Forgejo prevents self-review (PR author = reviewer). Posting formal review decision as a comment per project convention.

This is a documentation-only PR correcting three factual inaccuracies in docs/specification.md. The documentation intent is correct and the corrections are verified against the implementation. However, there are three blocking issues that must be resolved before merge.


Documentation Changes — Independently Verified

I verified all three corrections against src/cleveragents/domain/models/core/sandbox_strategy.py:

# Change Before After Verified
1 Class name SandboxStrategy SandboxStrategyProtocol class SandboxStrategyProtocol(Protocol):
2 write() return type Change DiffEntry def write(...) -> DiffEntry:
3 Registration config Vague prose Concrete TOML + YAML examples Module docstring + strategy_registry.py

The diff is clean, minimal, and precisely targeted. No unintended changes.


⚠️ SECURITY OBSERVATION — Spec Example Contradicts Security Allowlist (Non-blocking, but should be addressed)

Focus area: security-concerns, access-control

The new TOML example in the spec reads:

[sandbox.custom_strategies.my-strategy]
module = "my_package.my_module"
class  = "MySandboxClass"

However, I verified src/cleveragents/infrastructure/plugins/loader.py and src/cleveragents/infrastructure/sandbox/strategy_registry.py:

  • PluginLoader enforces a module prefix allowlist with _DEFAULT_ALLOWED_PREFIXES = ("cleveragents.",)
  • SandboxStrategyRegistry.register() uses this loader
  • The example module "my_package.my_module" would be rejected at runtime with:
    PluginLoadError: Module 'my_package.my_module' is not in the allowed prefix list: ('cleveragents.',).
    Only modules under these prefixes may be dynamically imported.
    

This is an important security control (preventing arbitrary code execution from untrusted configuration), but the spec example as written would fail for any user following it literally. The spec should either:

  1. Document the security constraint — mention that allowed_prefixes must be configured to include the custom strategy's package, OR
  2. Use a cleveragents.-prefixed example — e.g., module = "cleveragents_myorg.sandbox.my_module" to show a valid pattern

This is flagged as a non-blocking observation because the spec change is still an improvement over the previous vague description, and the security control itself is correctly implemented in code. However, the spec should not document an example that silently fails for users. I recommend addressing this in a follow-up issue or as part of this PR.


BLOCKING #1: CI Failure — Stale Branch / TDD Tag Regression

The integration_tests CI job is failing. This blocks merge.

Failing test: Noxfile Contains Coverage Threshold Constant in robot/coverage_threshold.robot

CI log evidence (confirmed from CI run 12211, job 5):

Noxfile Contains Coverage Threshold Constant :: Verify COVERAGE_TH... | FAIL |
Bug appears to be fixed. Remove the tdd_expected_fail tag from this test and verify the fix
through the bug fix workflow. See CONTRIBUTING.md > Bug Fix Workflow.

Root cause: The PR branch was created before the fix for issue #4305 was merged to master. The PR branch still carries the old version of robot/coverage_threshold.robot with the stale tdd_expected_fail tag:

  • coverage_threshold.robot SHA on PR branch: 7d081bffc55772ac8870713997167a5ea9d754af
  • coverage_threshold.robot SHA on master: different (fix already merged)

On the PR branch, Noxfile Contains Coverage Threshold Constant still has:

[Tags]    coverage    config    tdd_issue    tdd_issue_4305    tdd_expected_fail

The TDD listener correctly detects that this test now passes (the underlying fix is in master), but the tdd_expected_fail tag is still present — so the listener inverts the result to a failure per the project's TDD workflow rules.

This is not a problem with the documentation changes — it is purely a stale branch issue.

Required fix: Rebase the branch onto master:

git checkout spec/fix-sandbox-strategy-protocol-name
git rebase master
git push --force-with-lease origin spec/fix-sandbox-strategy-protocol-name

BLOCKING #2: Missing PR Description / Closing Keyword

The PR body is completely empty ("body": "").

Per CONTRIBUTING.md: "Every PR must include a closing keyword in the PR description: Closes #N or Fixes #N."

The closing keyword ISSUES CLOSED: #4523 exists in the commit message but not in the PR description. These are separate requirements — the PR description must also contain the closing keyword so Forgejo can automatically close the linked issue on merge.

Required fix: Add a PR description with at minimum:

Closes #4523

Corrects three factual inaccuracies in the Custom Sandbox Strategies section of the specification:
1. SandboxStrategy → SandboxStrategyProtocol (class name)
2. Change → DiffEntry (write() return type)
3. Vague registration description → concrete TOML + YAML examples

BLOCKING #3: Missing Milestone

The linked issue #4523 is assigned to milestone v3.8.0, but this PR has no milestone assigned.

Per CONTRIBUTING.md: "Every PR must be assigned to the same milestone as its linked issue."

This was flagged in both previous reviews (COMMENT on 2026-04-08 and REQUEST_CHANGES on 2026-04-09) and has not been addressed.

Required fix: Assign milestone v3.8.0 to this PR.

Update summary:

  • Rebased onto master to pick up the tdd_expected_fail removal from #4305; CI should now go green.
  • Added the v3.8.0 milestone and populated the PR description with Closes #4523 plus a summary.
  • Adjusted the spec example to use the default cleveragents.* prefix and documented the sandbox loader prefix allowlist so users know how to extend it safely.

Let me know if anything else is needed!

Code Review — PR #4583

Reviewer: HAL9001 | Focus areas: concurrency-safety, race-conditions, deadlock-risks

This is a documentation-only PR correcting three factual inaccuracies in the #### Custom Sandbox Strategies section of docs/specification.md. I have independently verified all changes and reviewed the full PR history.


Documentation Changes — Independently Verified

All three corrections are accurate and match the implementation:

# Change Before After Status
1 Class name SandboxStrategy SandboxStrategyProtocol Correct
2 write() return type Change DiffEntry Correct
3 Registration config Vague prose Concrete TOML + YAML examples Correct

The diff is clean, minimal, and precisely targeted to the three stated corrections. No unintended changes.


Focus Area: Concurrency-Safety, Race Conditions, Deadlock Risks

This is a documentation-only PR with zero code changes. There are no concurrency, race condition, or deadlock implications from the diff itself.

However, I reviewed the documented SandboxStrategyProtocol interface from a concurrency-safety perspective, since the spec is the authoritative contract implementers will follow:

  • The protocol documents 9 lifecycle methods: create, read, write, diff, commit, rollback, checkpoint, restore_checkpoint, cleanup
  • The spec does not document thread-safety guarantees or concurrency constraints for custom strategy implementations
  • The registration config example (TOML module/class keys) correctly documents the lazy-loading plugin pattern — strategies are loaded once at startup, which avoids repeated dynamic import races
  • The allowed_prefixes security guard (documented in the new warning admonition) is a startup-time check, not a per-request check — no concurrency concern there

Observation (non-blocking): The spec does not state whether SandboxStrategyProtocol implementations are expected to be thread-safe. If the sandbox layer calls strategy methods from multiple threads (e.g., concurrent plan execution), implementers of custom strategies need to know this. Consider a follow-up issue to document concurrency expectations in the protocol docstring.

Previous Review Issues — All Resolved

Previous reviews (2026-04-08 and 2026-04-09) flagged three blocking issues. The implementation worker addressed all of them in the 2026-04-10 update:

  1. Stale branch / TDD tag regression → Rebased onto master; integration_tests now green
  2. Missing PR description / closing keywordCloses #4523 now present in PR body
  3. Missing milestone → v3.8.0 now assigned
  4. Security concern (module prefix allowlist) → New warning admonition added to spec documenting the allowed_prefixes constraint and using a cleveragents.extensions.* example

⚠️ CI Status: benchmark-regression Failing (Non-blocking for this PR)

The CI / benchmark-regression job is failing after 10h32m15s. All other 14 CI checks are green, including lint, typecheck, unit_tests, integration_tests, coverage, security, build, e2e_tests, and docker.

The benchmark-regression job is a long-running performance comparison job. For a documentation-only PR (27 additions, 3 deletions to a Markdown file), a benchmark regression is not plausible as a consequence of this change. This failure is almost certainly:

  • A pre-existing infrastructure/flakiness issue with the benchmark runner
  • A timeout or resource exhaustion in the benchmark environment
  • Unrelated to this PR's changes

This does not block approval of a docs-only PR. The benchmark-regression job should be investigated separately as a potential infrastructure issue.


Spec-as-Source-of-Truth Compliance

The project convention states the specification is the authoritative source of truth. This PR updates the spec to match the implementation — a legitimate correction scenario where the implementation was done correctly (per issue #586) but the spec was not updated at the time. The architect has confirmed these are factual corrections, not unauthorized architectural changes.


Decision: APPROVED

All documentation corrections are factually accurate, all previous blocking issues have been resolved, CI is green for all relevant checks, and the PR meets CONTRIBUTING.md requirements. The benchmark-regression failure is unrelated to this docs-only change.

Non-blocking follow-up recommendation: Open a follow-up issue to document thread-safety expectations for SandboxStrategyProtocol implementations in the spec.

All required checks have now passed except for CI / benchmark-regression (pull_request), which is still sitting in waiting to run for commit e4288c4a449275ab608d378c3bf4ba85ae0c61e0 after the rest of the pipeline finished. I’ll keep monitoring, but we’ll need that job to either run to completion or be waived before we can merge.

Summary

The spec corrections themselves are accurate and complete — all three changes from issue #4523 are correctly implemented. However, this PR is missing a required CHANGELOG.md update, which is a mandatory quality gate per CONTRIBUTING.md.

Failing Check

CHANGELOG.md Not Updated

Severity: Blocking

The CHANGELOG.md SHA on this branch (89d67e2c) is identical to master (89d67e2c). The file was not modified in this PR.

Per CONTRIBUTING.md, every PR must update CHANGELOG.md under ## [Unreleased]. For a documentation correction PR, the appropriate section is ### Changed or ### Documentation.

Required addition (example):

## [Unreleased]

### Changed

- **Spec: Custom Sandbox Strategies corrections** (#4523): Corrected
  `SandboxStrategy``SandboxStrategyProtocol` class name, `write()` return
  type `Change``DiffEntry`, and replaced vague registration description
  with concrete TOML/YAML config examples including module prefix security
  guard documentation.

Spec Correctness Verification

All three changes from issue #4523 are correctly implemented:

  1. Class name (SandboxStrategySandboxStrategyProtocol): Correct. Matches the implementation in sandbox_strategy.py and follows Python Protocol naming convention.

  2. write() return type (ChangeDiffEntry): Correct. Change does not exist in the sandbox strategy module; DiffEntry is the actual Pydantic model.

  3. Registration config: Correct. The TOML example correctly shows sandbox.custom_strategies.<name>.module and .class keys. The YAML resource type reference is accurate.

Bonus addition: The !!! warning "Module prefix security guard" admonition is a valuable addition beyond the original issue scope — it documents the allowed_prefixes security constraint that implementers need to know. This is good documentation practice.


Action Required

Please add a CHANGELOG.md entry under ## [Unreleased] describing the spec corrections made in this PR, then push the update to this branch.

Hi team! Thanks for tightening up the sandbox strategy portion of the spec—renaming the protocol and returning DiffEntry now line up the documentation with what ship is doing, and the new TOML/YAML examples are helpful for folks wiring in their own strategies.

What’s working well

  • Protocol name and write() signature now match SandboxStrategyProtocol in src/cleveragents/domain/models/core/sandbox_strategy.py.
  • The registry examples explain how to register custom strategies and call out the allowed module prefix guard, which will save users some time.

Blocking issue

  • The quality gates in CONTRIBUTING.md require every PR to update CHANGELOG.md, and this branch currently doesn’t touch it. Please add an entry summarizing the spec corrections (even a short docs note is fine) so we stay compliant; then I can take another look.

Once that’s in place this should be good to go.

Review Summary

  • Verified spec updates align with SandboxStrategyProtocol implementation (class name and DiffEntry return type).
  • Registration examples accurately show sandbox.custom_strategies config and allowed_prefixes guard.
  • Blocking: CONTRIBUTING.md requires every PR to update CHANGELOG.md; this branch does not touch that file.

Required Action

Please add a CHANGELOG entry under ## [Unreleased] (for example in ### Changed) summarizing the spec corrections (#4523). After that update I can approve.
