…backend CLI flag + back-compat gate - Add cli_backend field support in YAML agents_generator.py - Add --cli-backend CLI flag with dynamic choices from registry - Add mutual exclusion check between --cli-backend and --external-agent - Add 'praisonai backends list' subcommand - Create comprehensive unit tests for YAML, CLI, and back-compat - Add example YAML with cli_backend configuration - Maintain backward compatibility with existing --external-agent flag Implements the three equivalent ways to use CLI backends: 1. Python: Agent(cli_backend='claude-code') 2. YAML: cli_backend: claude-code 3. CLI: praisonai 'prompt' --cli-backend claude-code Fixes #1530 Co-authored-by: MervinPraison <MervinPraison@users.noreply.github.com>

Greptile SummaryThis PR implements Phase 1b of the CLI backend protocol, adding three complementary ways to specify an external CLI backend for agent execution: a
Confidence Score: 4/5Safe to merge after fixing the two test bugs in test_cli_backend_flag.py; production code is correct. All three previously-flagged issues are resolved. The production implementation in agents_generator.py and cli/main.py is logically sound with proper error handling. The only remaining problems are in the test file: four tests assert on src/praisonai/tests/unit/test_cli_backend_flag.py — two distinct test bugs will cause failures Important Files Changed

Inline comments:
In `@src/praisonai/praisonai/agents_generator.py`:
- Around line 1261-1272: The code currently includes the full cli_backend_config
(which may contain sensitive overrides) in error and warning messages; update
the handling in the block that parses cli_backend_config so that any raised
ValueError or logger.warning references only the backend id/type (use backend_id
or type(cli_backend_config)) and never interpolates the full overrides dict or
cli_backend_config. Specifically, change the ValueError for missing 'id' to
mention only that the cli_backend dict is missing 'id' and include backend type
if available, and change both logger.warning calls (in the ImportError and
generic Exception except blocks around resolve_cli_backend) to log only the
backend identifier or class/type and the exception message, without printing
overrides or the full dict.
In `@src/praisonai/praisonai/cli/main.py`:
- Around line 402-420: The issue is that the "backends" path never reaches the
handler because parse_args() rewrites unknown commands unless they are listed in
special_commands; fix by adding "backends" to the special_commands collection
used by parse_args() so args.command remains "backends" and the existing handler
in main() (which checks args.command == "backends") executes; update the
special_commands definition (and any tests or help text) and run CLI tests to
confirm `praisonai backends list` invokes the backends handler.
- Around line 354-357: Move the mutual-exclusion enforcement into argparse: in
main() where the ArgumentParser is built, create a mutually exclusive group
(parser.add_mutually_exclusive_group()) and add the --cli-backend and
--external-agent arguments to that group so the parser will reject both being
provided at parse time; then remove the runtime check that inspects
getattr(args, 'cli_backend', None) and getattr(args, 'external_agent', None) and
the sys.exit(1) call. Alternatively, if you prefer post-parse validation, call
parser.error("...") immediately after parser.parse_args() when both
args.cli_backend and args.external_agent are present instead of leaving the
check later in main(). Ensure the change references the existing symbols args,
parser, main(), --cli-backend and --external-agent so the new validation
replaces the old getattr(...) check.
In `@src/praisonai/tests/unit/test_cli_backend_flag.py`:
- Around line 52-65: The test incorrectly lets praison.parse_args() succeed and
asserts mutual exclusion in praison.main(); instead enforce mutual exclusion at
argparse level or adjust the test to verify parsing fails: update the CLI parser
used by praison.parse_args() to declare --cli-backend and --external-agent in an
argparse mutually exclusive group (or change the test to expect a SystemExit
when calling praison.parse_args() with both flags), and remove the manual
setting of args.cli_backend/args.external_agent and the reliance on
praison.main(); reference the parser-building code invoked by
praison.parse_args() and the test function in test_cli_backend_flag.py to make
the change.
- Around line 27-42: The test currently stops at parse_args and never exercises
the direct-prompt backend; remove the mock for resolve_cli_backend and stop
mocking PraisonAI.handle_direct_prompt so the real resolution/execution path
runs, instead patch the low-level LLM/subprocess boundary used by the resolved
backend (the backend object's execution method) to return a controlled result,
then call the code that executes the command (parse_args() followed by invoking
the CLI execution path) and assert resolve_cli_backend was called with
'claude-code' and that the low-level backend execution was invoked and produced
the expected output.
- Around line 16-21: The assertions that check the help output are inside the
pytest.raises(SystemExit) context and thus never run; update the test in
test_cli_backend_flag.py to call praison.parse_args() inside the with
pytest.raises(SystemExit) only, then after that block (and after exiting the
patched sys.stdout context) retrieve mock_stdout.getvalue() and assert that
'--cli-backend' and the dynamic choices appear in the help output; refer to the
patched call to praison.parse_args() and the mock_stdout variable to locate and
move the assertions.
In `@src/praisonai/tests/unit/test_external_agents_backcompat.py`:
- Around line 6-24: The test currently mocks
ExternalAgentsHandler.get_integration, so change it to call the real
ExternalAgentsHandler.get_integration method and only patch the external
subprocess/availability check (e.g., patch subprocess.run or whatever
ExternalAgentsHandler uses to probe a CLI) to simulate claude being present;
instantiate ExternalAgentsHandler(verbose=False) and call
handler.get_integration('claude', workspace=tmp_path) using the pytest tmp_path
fixture instead of '/tmp', then assert the returned integration is not None and
has is_available True and cli_command 'claude', and verify the subprocess probe
was called as expected.
In `@src/praisonai/tests/unit/test_yaml_cli_backend.py`:
- Line 101: The test unpacking assigns a variable named tasks that's unused and
tripping linter warnings; update the unpacking from
generator.create_agents_and_tasks() to use an intentionally unused name (e.g.,
replace "agents, tasks = generator.create_agents_and_tasks()" with "agents,
_tasks = generator.create_agents_and_tasks()" or "agents, _ = ...") in the test
functions that call generator.create_agents_and_tasks() (apply the same change
for the occurrences corresponding to the other calls noted around the same
tests) so the unused binding is explicit and Ruff no longer flags it.
- Around line 30-39: The test currently only checks hasattr(agent,
'_cli_backend') which would pass if the attribute is None; change the assertion
to ensure the resolved backend object is actually attached by asserting
agent._cli_backend is mock_resolve.return_value (or equals the mock's returned
object) after calling
AgentsGenerator(config=yaml_content).create_agents_and_tasks(), and update the
duplicate check in the other block (lines 67-76) the same way; keep the
mock_resolve.assert_called_once_with('claude-code') check as is.

Avoid logging raw cli_backend override configs.
overrides can contain credentials or environment-like values, but the current ValueError and warning logs include the full cli_backend_config. Log only the backend id/type and keep override contents out of messages.

Move this mutual exclusion check into argparse parsing to enforce it before any special-command handlers execute.
The current check at lines 354-357 runs only after parse_args() returns. However, commands like schedule and others handled in parse_args() call sys.exit() directly, never reaching this validation. Use parser.add_mutually_exclusive_group() to enforce the constraint at parse time, or call parser.error() immediately after parsing completes.
🐛 Proposed fix direction
+ backend_group = parser.add_mutually_exclusive_group()
- parser.add_argument("--external-agent", type=str, choices=["claude", "gemini", "codex", "cursor"],
+ backend_group.add_argument("--external-agent", type=str, choices=["claude", "gemini", "codex", "cursor"],

Register backends as a special command.
praisonai backends list will not reach this handler because backends is absent from special_commands, so parse_args() rewrites it into a direct prompt before main() handles args.command.

This test stops after parse_args(). mock_resolve and mock_handler are never asserted, so broken wiring from args.cli_backend into backend execution would still pass.

Test mutual exclusion during argument parsing.
The objective requires --cli-backend and --external-agent to be mutually exclusive at argparse level, but this test lets parsing succeed and checks main() instead. A parser-level regression would not be caught correctly.

Exercise the real get_integration path instead of mocking it.
These tests patch handler.get_integration, so they only validate MagicMock behavior. They would not catch a regression where ExternalAgentsHandler.get_integration("claude") stops resolving. Patch only the external availability/subprocess boundary, and use tmp_path instead of hardcoded /tmp.

builtins.print instead of rich.print
The backends command handler does from rich import print at the top of its branch, so all subsequent print(...) calls in that block resolve to rich.print, not the built-in. Patching builtins.print has no effect on those calls, so mock_print.assert_has_calls(...) will always fail.
The same issue affects test_backends_command_no_subcommand (line 102), test_backends_command_unknown_subcommand (line 120), and test_backends_command_import_error (line 143) — all patch builtins.print but the production path uses rich.print.
To fix, patch rich.print where it is used:
with patch('praisonai.cli.main.print') as mock_print: # 'print' as re-bound in main.py's scope
result = praison.main()
mock_print.assert_has_calls(expected_calls)

* fix(phase1b): make CLI backend tests actually run (refs #1530, #1531) Problem: After PR #1531 merged, 19/34 shipped unit tests for the Phase 1b CLI Backend Protocol were failing because they were written against fabricated APIs that do not exist on this codebase: - test_yaml_cli_backend.py: used AgentsGenerator(config=...) and .create_agents_and_tasks(); neither the kwarg nor the method exist. - test_cli_backend_flag.py, test_external_agents_backcompat.py: called PraisonAI().parse_args() which deliberately short-circuits to parse_known_args([]) when PYTEST_CURRENT_TEST is in env, so patched sys.argv was ignored and --help never raised SystemExit. The Phase 1b *feature* works end-to-end (verified via manual CLI smoke: 'praisonai backends list' prints claude-code, --cli-backend flag accepts registered ids, mutual exclusion fires). The tests, however, were dead weight; CI just skipped them. Fix: 1. Extract the YAML cli_backend resolution block (23 lines) from agents_generator.py into a new module-level helper _resolve_yaml_cli_backend(cli_backend_config, logger). Zero behaviour change for existing callers; PraisonAgent(..., cli_backend=...) wiring is unchanged. 2. Rewrite test_yaml_cli_backend.py to call that helper directly (8 tests). Covers: string id, dict+overrides, missing id, None, import error, unknown id, invalid type, plus a real end-to-end resolve against the registered claude-code backend. 3. Rewrite test_cli_backend_flag.py to drive the CLI via subprocess (7 tests), stripping PYTEST_* env vars so parse_args does not short-circuit. Covers: --cli-backend in --help, registered backend accepted, unknown backend rejected, mutual exclusion with --external-agent, backends list subcommand (bare and with 'list'), and unknown subcommand reporting. 4. Rewrite test_external_agents_backcompat.py as a mix of direct imports (ExternalAgentsHandler, ClaudeCodeIntegration) and subprocess argparse checks (6 tests). Guards against regression of --external-agent {claude,gemini,codex,cursor} and --external-agent-direct. Result: 34/34 tests pass locally (6 backcompat + 7 CLI + 8 YAML + 13 existing claude-backend). No production code behaviour change - only test suite + a small helper extraction in agents_generator.py. * fix: address reviewer feedback from CodeRabbit and Greptile - Fix ImportError path to preserve requested backend ID in log messages - Remove dead try/except code in --help test - Fix trailing PYTHONPATH separator issue in test environments - Add missing returncode assertion for error cases Co-authored-by: Mervin Praison <MervinPraison@users.noreply.github.com> * docs(tests): add inline comments documenting coupling to backends handler Addresses remaining CodeRabbit nit on test_cli_backend_flag.py.
