Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

Unreleased

Added

  • sys-medic agent: Linux/Kubernetes node health assessment agent integrated as a standard kaizen-agentic infrastructure agent (KAIZEN-WP-0002 Part 1)
  • Project metrics convention (ADR-004): .kaizen/metrics/<agent>/ storage via MetricsStore and OptimizerStore
  • Metrics CLI: kaizen-agentic metrics record|show|list|export|optimize for per-execution records and optimizer analysis
  • Optimizer integration: OptimizationLoop.from_metrics_store() wired to project metrics; memory brief includes ## Performance Summary
  • tdd-workflow metrics pilot: Reference agent for measure → analyse → orient loop (wiki/AboutKaizenAgents.md)
  • Packaged agents: coach, sys-medic, scope-analyst, and optimization synced to src/kaizen_agentic/data/agents/ (20 agents total)

1.0.1 - 2025-10-20

Fixed

  • CLI Error Message Suppression: Resolved spurious "Got unexpected extra argument" error messages in Click library that were confusing users during kaizen-agentic install commands
  • YAML Frontmatter Issues: Fixed malformed YAML frontmatter in agent definition files (agent-wisdom-encouragement.md, agent-tooling-optimization.md, agent-test-maintenance.md)
  • Global Installation Access: Enhanced global installation capability with improved make install-global target using pipx for system-wide CLI availability

Added

  • Click Library Workaround: Implemented intelligent error handling with safe_cli_wrapper() function to provide clean user experience
  • Comprehensive Test Suite: Added tests/test_cli_error_handling.py with 11 test cases covering CLI error suppression, legitimate error preservation, and integration scenarios
  • Detailed Documentation: Created CLICK_WORKAROUND.md with technical details and removal timeline for the Click library workaround
  • Future Maintenance Guide: Added clear instructions for testing and removing the workaround when Click library is updated

Technical Details

  • Entry Point: Updated CLI entry point to use safe_cli_wrapper instead of direct CLI function
  • Error Detection: Intelligent detection and filtering of spurious Click error messages while preserving legitimate errors
  • Test Coverage: Full test coverage for workaround functionality including removal readiness testing
  • Code Documentation: Comprehensive inline documentation for future maintainers

Resolves: Issue #3 - CLI argument parsing errors and confusing error messages
