The generate prompt only received the analyze_requirements summary,
which often compressed the file-by-file DoD into a brief paragraph.
The LLM then produced 1 file instead of the 5-6 specified.
Fix: added {original_prompt} variable to the generate prompt template
so the LLM sees both the architecture analysis AND the original DoD
with explicit file listings. Also strengthened the instruction to
"output ALL files mentioned in the Definition of Done."
Verified: sim10 (CSV Analyzer) now produces 6 files matching DoD
(loader.py, analyzer.py, reporter.py, cli.py, requirements.txt).
Files were always written to CWD, requiring manual mv and cleanup
(README.md overwrites, stray files in project root). Now users can
specify where generated files should go:
python -m cleveragents plan lifecycle-apply PLAN_ID --output-dir simulations/sim9
The directory is created automatically if it doesn't exist.
Updated sim_test_commands.md to use the new flag.
First simulation testing subdirectory output support. RAG app with
separate modules: document_loader, chunker, embeddings, vector_store,
retriever, generator — plus config.py and main.py CLI entry point.
All Python files pass syntax check. 9/10 DoD checks pass.
Also adds sim_test_commands.md with 9 new simulation definitions
(SIM9-SIM17) for manual terminal testing.
get_pending_migrations() had a logic bug where the break condition
(rev.revision == current_rev) was inside the (rev.revision != current_rev)
guard, making it unreachable. This caused every CLI command to falsely
detect pending migrations and prompt for approval even when the DB was
already at head.
Add [RESPONSE] annotations to each finding in the comparative review:
- Findings A, B, C, E: acknowledged as valid with action items
- Finding D (binary apply): noted as low priority / theoretical
- Finding F (simulation artifacts): corrected — reviewer checked raw
LLM outputs (sim*-<name>/generated.py) instead of extracted files
(sim*/todo.py etc.) which all pass py_compile
Also fix CommittingSessionService._commit() to log exceptions instead
of silently swallowing them (valid Finding E).
Problems fixed:
- Generation prompt was vague ("produce production-ready code") with no
output format specification. LLM had to guess the multi-file format.
- Validation was fake: `is_valid = "PASS" in text or len(code) > 10`
auto-passed any code longer than 10 chars.
- Single-file fallback used keyword guessing ("test" -> test_generated.py)
instead of parsing the filename from LLM output.
Changes:
- Rewrite analyze_prompt with structured sections (Files to Create,
Dependencies, Key Requirements, Architecture Notes)
- Rewrite generate_prompt with explicit multi-file output format rules
(**filename.ext** + fenced code block) and quality constraints
- Rewrite validate_prompt with specific review checklist
- Replace fake validation with real Python syntax check (compile()) +
LLM review where first line must be PASS or FAIL
- Add _extract_single_file() for robust single-file fallback that
parses the filename from the LLM output header
- Remove keyword-based path guessing (test/error/generated.py)
- Re-ran SIM1: now produces todo.py (matching DoD) instead of main.py
_extract_files_from_markdown now builds a set of fenced-block character
ranges and filters out any FILE_HEADER_RE matches that fall within them.
This prevents dependency lines like "requests>=2.31.0" from being
misidentified as file headers, which was causing requirements.txt to be
missed in sim4's output. Re-extracted sim4 with correct scraper.py and
requirements.txt.
Replace custom JSON file persistence, string-split provider resolution,
and raw change tracking with the project's existing infrastructure:
- ActorService for provider/model resolution from DB
- ChangeSetStore (InMemoryChangeSetStore) for audit-grade change tracking
- Sandbox directories for cross-process file persistence
- Definition of Done included in LLM prompts
The v3 lifecycle (action create → plan use → plan execute → plan
lifecycle-apply) now invokes the actual AI provider during the execute
phase and writes generated files to disk during the apply phase.
Key changes:
- Add ai_provider and provider_registry to PlanLifecycleService
- Add run_execute() method that resolves provider, creates legacy Plan
adapter, calls generate_changes(), and persists changeset to JSON
- Add run_apply() method that loads persisted changeset and writes
files to filesystem with path traversal protection
- Wire ai_provider and provider_registry in DI container
- Update CLI execute/lifecycle-apply commands to use new methods
- Load .env via python-dotenv so API keys are available without shell
export
- Pass API keys from settings into LLM factory kwargs
PlanGenerationGraph._generate_plan() now parses markdown-formatted LLM
output to extract individual files from ## headers and fenced code blocks.
Previously, all LLM output was crammed into a single generated.py file.
Now: ## main.py + ```python``` blocks are parsed into separate Change
objects, each written to its own file path. Supports nested paths like
templates/base.html, numbered headers (## 1. file.py), backtick-wrapped
and bold filenames. Falls back to single-file behavior when < 2 file
headers are detected.
Tested against 5 real Anthropic LLM outputs — correctly extracts 2-11
files per generation including .py, .txt, .html, .css, and .md files.
Each simulation ran the full legacy lifecycle (init → tell → build → apply)
with real Anthropic Claude API calls:
1. sim1-todo-cli: Click-based todo app (add/list/delete)
2. sim2-bookstore-api: FastAPI CRUD with SQLite (5 code files)
3. sim3-websocket-chat: async websocket chat server
4. sim4-hn-scraper: HN top stories scraper with JSON output
5. sim5-flask-auth: Flask + Flask-Login authentication app
All 5 generated correct, production-quality Python code matching
the requested task specifications.
PlanService._resolve_ai_provider_for_actor() sets name and model_id on the
provider instance, but LangChainChatProvider only had read-only properties.
This caused AttributeError when building plans with a real LLM provider.
Also adds .gitignore (protecting .env with API keys) and example action YAML.
The session factory was creating new sessions on each call, so flush() in
the repo and commit() in CommittingSessionService operated on different
sessions. Now uses a shared session instance so changes are properly
committed to the database.
The session CLI was using container.db() which didn't exist. Replaced with
proper SQLAlchemy session factory pattern. Created CommittingSessionService
that wraps PersistentSessionService with auto-commit after each mutating
operation, since the CLI doesn't use a UoW wrapper for transactions.
- execute command now auto-advances plans from strategize/queued through
start_strategize and complete_strategize before executing
- lifecycle-apply command auto-advances from execute/queued through
start_execute and complete_execute before applying
- list_plans now queries the persistence layer (same fix as list_actions)
- start_strategize loads the action from DB into cache before preflight
checks, fixing "Action not found in registry" when action was only in DB
The full v3 lifecycle now works end-to-end:
action create → plan use → plan execute → plan lifecycle-apply
Both action.py and plan.py CLI commands were creating PlanLifecycleService
with only settings (no UnitOfWork), causing in-memory-only storage that lost
data between CLI invocations. Now uses container.plan_lifecycle_service()
which injects a real UnitOfWork for database persistence.
Also fixed list_actions() to query the persistence layer instead of only
reading from the in-memory cache, which was always empty on fresh service
instances.
