Non-JSON results and errors use structured XML output. JSON errors remain structured, and failures set a non-zero exit status. CLI tests now verify exact XML output. ChangesAgent XML output
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The agent command defaults now emit compact XML, but the documented daemon command surface still uses a different output and error format. This is a bounded compatibility and integration risk that is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up. Poem

Greptile SummaryThe PR changes the default non-JSON output of local-agent CLI workflows from human-readable text to compact, escaped XML fragments.
Confidence Score: 5/5The PR appears safe to merge with no concrete blocking or independently actionable non-blocking defects identified. Dynamic XML content is escaped according to its text or attribute context, structured failures retain their payloads, thrown command errors exit nonzero, and JSON behavior remains available for unambiguous machine consumption.

| Filename | Overview |
|---|---|
| src/cli.ts | Routes agent workflow results and errors through JSON or compact XML output while preserving nonzero failure exits. |
| src/local-agent-presentation.ts | Replaces human-readable formatters with XML-fragment formatters and consistently escapes dynamic text and attributes. |
| src/cli.test.ts | Updates end-to-end CLI assertions for XML success and error output. |
| src/local-agent-presentation.test.ts | Covers XML formatting, empty catalogs, attribute escaping, text escaping, and invalid control-character replacement. |

In `@src/cli.ts`:
- Around line 465-466: Update the daemon branch around runAgentsDaemon so it
follows the same XML-default result formatting and shared structured error
handling as runAgentWorkflowCommand, while preserving --json behavior. Ensure
status, stop, and logs produce the documented output contract, and add CLI
coverage for each command without expanding changes beyond the daemon command
path.

Dismissed because the requested daemon XML change conflicts with the explicitly documented PR scope: XML is limited to model-facing agent workflow commands.

The model-facing agent commands used inconsistent human output, which forced the bundled skill to request JSON and exposed more structure than orchestration needs. This changes only
devspace agents targets,ls,run,continue,show, andwaitto emit compact, wrapper-free XML fragments by default. Empty lists produce no output, errors use an<error>fragment, and--jsonremains compatible. Daemon diagnostics and non-agent commands are unchanged.The presentation boundary still removes workspace paths, provider session IDs, timestamps, prompts, and other internal state. Focused CLI and formatter tests cover escaping, empty output, receipts, observations, and JSON compatibility. The full test suite and typecheck pass.
