plan update-step silently ignores --file, --test, and --doc evidence fields #692
Description
Summary
pm plan update-step and pm plan complete-step accept --file, --test, and --doc options, report success, and update the step timestamp/evidence, but do not persist the supplied linked evidence on an already-completed step.
Reproduction
Using pm CLI 2026.7.24-3:
pm plan update-step pm-example plan-step-003 \
--file "path=src/feature.ts,scope=project,note=Implementation" \
--test "command=bun run test -- tests/feature.test.ts,path=tests/feature.test.ts,note=Coverage" \
--force
pm plan show pm-example --depth deepThe command exits successfully and changes updated_at, but the step retains only its previous files and tests. Repeating with pm plan complete-step has the same result.
Expected
The evidence flags should append or upsert linked evidence consistently for pending, active, and completed steps, or the CLI should reject unsupported state/field combinations with an actionable error. Silent success makes PM delivery evidence incomplete and is hard to detect.
