Conversation
Fixes ambient-code#285 When displaying multi-step fixes in agentready align, substeps were not properly indented because the code applied a string prefix to a multi-line string, which only affected the first line. Changed to use textwrap.indent() which correctly indents all lines in the multi-line preview output. - Modified: src/agentready/cli/align.py (added textwrap import, fixed line 171) - Added: 3 regression tests in tests/unit/test_cli_align.py - No breaking changes - No migration needed Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Added missing score = 0.0 to mock_finding in test_empty_line_handling_in_preview - All 3 regression tests now pass successfully

| Attribute ID | Status | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| documentation | 🟡 Minor | No updates to CLAUDE.md or user-facing docs. Consider adding note about textwrap.indent() usage pattern for multi-line CLI output. |

🔒 Security Analysis
✅ No Security Issues Found
- Input Validation: ✅
textwrap.indent()is a stdlib function, safe for untrusted input - Command Injection: ✅ Not applicable (no shell commands involved)
- Path Traversal: ✅ Not applicable (no file operations)
- XSS/Injection: ✅ Not applicable (CLI output only, no HTML/SQL)
💎 Code Quality Assessment
Strengths
- Minimal Change: Single-line fix (LOC changed: 3 additions, 1 deletion) with clear intent
- Proper Abstraction: Uses stdlib
textwrap.indent()instead of manual string manipulation - Comprehensive Testing: 3 regression tests with clear docstrings and issue references
- Test Quality: Tests verify both the fix AND that it doesn't break existing behavior
- Documentation: Inline comment with issue reference (
# Fix for #285)
Suggestions for Improvement
1. Consider Additional Edge Case Testing
The current tests cover:
- ✅ Multi-line with substeps (the bug scenario)
- ✅ Single-line previews (backwards compatibility)
- ✅ Empty lines in previews
Consider adding:
- Leading/trailing whitespace preservation: What if
fix.preview()returns a string with trailing spaces? - Tab characters: How does
textwrap.indent()handle tabs in the preview content? - Unicode content: Does it handle emoji or special characters in fix descriptions?
2. Potential Refactoring Opportunity
The fix is applied at line 170 in align.py. If other CLI commands also display multi-line output (e.g., assess, bootstrap), consider extracting this to a utility function:
# src/agentready/utils/cli_formatting.py
def format_indented_output(text: str, indent: str = " ") -> str:
"""Format multi-line text with consistent indentation.
Args:
text: Multi-line text to indent
indent: Indentation string (default: 5 spaces)
Returns:
Indented text suitable for CLI display
"""
return textwrap.indent(text, indent)This would:
- Make the pattern reusable across CLI commands
- Centralize formatting logic
- Make testing easier
However: Given this is a focused bug fix, refactoring should be a separate PR if needed.
3. Type Hint Enhancement
The Fix.preview() method returns str, but the code now assumes it can be multi-line. Consider documenting this in the base class:
# src/agentready/models/fix.py (line 36-42)
@abstractmethod
def preview(self) -> str:
"""Generate a preview of what this fix will do.
Returns:
Human-readable description of changes. May contain
newlines for multi-step operations.
"""
pass📋 Best Practices Compliance
✅ Follows Best Practices
- Minimal Scope: Changes only what's necessary
- Test-Driven: Regression tests ensure bug stays fixed
- Conventional Commits: Uses
fix:prefix correctly - Issue Linkage: PR properly references [BUG] Fix indentation of MULTI-STEP FIX substeps in align output #285
- Self-Review: Author completed checklist indicates thorough review
📝 Minor Suggestions
-
Documentation Update: Add entry to CHANGELOG.md:
### Fixed - Fixed multi-line fix preview indentation in `align` command (#285)
-
CLAUDE.md Update (optional): Document the pattern for future contributors:
## CLI Output Formatting When displaying multi-line content in CLI commands, always use `textwrap.indent()` to ensure consistent indentation across all lines.
🧪 Testing Assessment
Test Coverage: Excellent ✅
The PR adds 172 lines of tests with:
- Regression coverage: Directly tests the bug scenario
- Backwards compatibility: Verifies single-line previews still work
- Edge cases: Tests empty lines in previews
- Clear naming: Test class
TestAlignMultiLineIndentation_Issue285explicitly links to issue - Comprehensive assertions: Tests verify both positive (correct indentation) and negative (bug behavior absent) conditions
Test Quality Highlights
# tests/unit/test_cli_align.py:619-623
# This assertion is the KEY regression check
assert " 1. RUN claude -p" in result.output
assert " 2. Move CLAUDE.md content" in result.output
# Verify substeps are NOT flush-left (the bug behavior)
assert "\n 1. RUN claude -p" not in result.outputWhy this is excellent: Tests verify the fix works AND the bug doesn't resurface.
🎓 Recommendations
Priority: HIGH ✅ Approve and Merge
This is a high-quality bug fix with minimal risk. The change is:
- Correct: Uses the right tool (
textwrap.indent()) for the job - Well-tested: 3 comprehensive regression tests
- Low-risk: Only affects display formatting, no data/logic changes
- Backwards-compatible: Existing single-line previews unaffected
Pre-Merge Checklist
- Author: Add CHANGELOG.md entry (optional but recommended)
- Reviewer: Verify all tests pass in CI
- Reviewer: Confirm no linter warnings introduced
- Reviewer: Check that
aligncommand works as expected on test repo
Post-Merge Actions
- Documentation: Consider updating CLAUDE.md with CLI formatting pattern
- Monitoring: Watch for any reports of alignment issues in other CLI commands
- Potential Follow-up: If other commands need similar fixes, apply the pattern
