evidence_label()in the BLOCK log line.Before this PR, a degraded pass always carried a number, so the BLOCK branch always logged a real value. Now a degraded response can resolve to
BLOCK: anUNPARSEABLEreply blocks by default, andVERIFIER_FAIL_CLOSED=1blocks the error paths. For those results,refutation_probabilityholds the0.0placeholder. The BLOCK branch still formatsprob=%.2f, so the log showsBLOCK ... prob=0.00 threshold=0.50. This is the "reading that never happened" thatevidence_label()exists to prevent. It also looks like a contradiction to an operator. The new degraded branch at Line 527 only covers non-BLOCK results.🐛 Proposed fix

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win
Enforce the probability/degradation pairing in VerifierObservation.
The docstring says probability is None and degradation is not NONE always travel together. The dataclass does not enforce this. Direct construction such as VerifierObservation(probability=None, rationale="x") gets degradation=NONE. For that observation, resolve_verdict calls degraded_response_blocks(NONE), gets False, and returns SKIP. The VerifierResult then has SKIP with degradation=NONE. The comment at pre_action_verifier_guard.py lines 164-166 defines that combination as "verifier disabled". The opposite mismatch has a different effect. A readable probability with a non-NONE degradation makes evidence_label() hide the real reading.
All in-tree constructors (from_reply, failed, and the tests) already satisfy the invariant. A __post_init__ check makes it a guarantee for this security gate.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Raise at once on a provider error response, as llm_service_completer does.
LLMService.chat reports failure through response.error with content="". It does not raise. This completer passes the empty text to complete_validated, which runs three JSON-parse attempts against a provider that is down. The attempts use retry budget and backoff time. The final error then says "non-JSON output" and hides the real cause. llm_service_completer handles the same case with a ValidatedLLMError. Do the same here so the error judgment carries the real cause.
🐛 Proposed fix
async def _complete(system_prompt: str, user_prompt: str) -> str:
response = await self._get_llm_evaluation(user_prompt, system_prompt=system_prompt, json_schema=schema)
+ error = getattr(response, "error", None)
+ if error:
+ raise ValidatedLLMError(f"LLM call failed: {error}")
return _response_text(response)Also import ValidatedLLMError from llm_shared.validated_llm.

Declare Ollama’s structured-output mode and forward the schema.
The registry uses providers.ollama_provider.OllamaProvider, which inherits BaseProvider but keeps structured_output_mode = NONE. Structured requests therefore record none and emit the “not honoured natively” warning. The delegated request builder applies only bare "json" mode. It does not pass LLMRequest.json_schema to Ollama’s native format field.
Declare StructuredOutputMode.JSON_SCHEMA and pass guided_json_schema(request) to Ollama’s format, with "json" as the no-schema fallback. Retain the existing tool guard because Ollama rejects format when tools are sent. Apply the same mapping to the direct chat-template payload.

Gate Anthropic structured outputs by model and normalise the schema.
AnthropicProvider advertises StructuredOutputMode.JSON_SCHEMA for every model in _ANTHROPIC_MODELS and forwards request.json_schema unchanged to output_config.format. Anthropic supports structured outputs only on specific models and rejects unsupported JSON Schema constraints such as minimum and maximum. The current JUDGMENT_SCHEMA also omits additionalProperties: false and does not list every object property as required.
When an unsupported model or schema reaches Anthropic, the judge call can fail. The failure becomes ERROR_MODEL_SENTINEL, and the default AUTOBOT_JUDGE_FAIL_CLOSED=false can approve the step without a usable judge result.
Gate apply_anthropic_output_config on the supported model set. Transform the schema before sending it by setting additionalProperties: false on every object, listing every property in required, and removing unsupported keywords. Return StructuredOutputMode.NONE from applied_structured_output_mode for unsupported models. Keep the original schema for local validation so these constraints are not lost.

Use StructuredOutputsParams for the supported vLLM range.
requirements-gpu.txt declares vllm>=0.29.0, while vLLM removed the deprecated GuidedDecodingParams API in v0.12.0. The import therefore can fail, causing guided_decoding_kwargs to return {}. SamplingParams then receives no schema constraint, although BaseProvider.chat_completion records json_schema as applied.
Try StructuredOutputsParams with structured_outputs first, then fall back to GuidedDecodingParams for older installations. Use the same capability result in applied_structured_output_mode; report NONE and warn when neither API is available.

Check strict compatibility recursively before setting strict.
openai_response_format() checks only the root schema. Each decide() fragment includes reasoning in properties but not in required. _reply_schema() closes the root with additionalProperties: false, so the resulting schema can be rejected by OpenAI with invalid_json_schema.
OpenAIProvider declares JSON_SCHEMA support and sends this payload unchanged. The default classification backend uses local routing, but an OpenAI route is available when an OpenAI key is configured. The failure is therefore conditional on that route.
JUDGMENT_SCHEMA does not trigger this flag because its root does not set additionalProperties: false. Other schemas, including structured_ops schemas, still pass through this builder and require recursive validation.

Put only the validation message into the retry prompt.
str(exc) on a jsonschema.ValidationError is a multi-line dump. It contains the failing schema subtree, for example the whole criterion_scores item schema, and the full rejected instance. retry_suffix sends all of it back to the model on each retry. This uses tokens and can push a small local model past its context window. exc.message together with exc.json_path gives the model the useful part.

Resolve the LLM service inside the try block.
The docstring promises a conservative UNRELATED "on any LLM error". Line 283 calls await self._llm() before the try. That call can call get_llm_service() lazily. If it raises, the exception escapes classify_agreement. _classify_all uses asyncio.gather without return_exceptions, so one failure aborts the whole corroborate call and does not degrade to UNRELATED.

#17317, #17142) Sixteen re-pins of this floor, six in the last two days, and #17142 concluded the growth allowance is too small. The measurement says the allowance is not the cause and raising it would not have helped. The floor has two bounds. verify_floor needs population - floor <= skips + growth (401), so floor >= 6535. completed() needs floor <= what the guard finishes, and skips=1 is this file alone, so that ceiling is population - 1 = 6935. The legal window is 6535..6935, four hundred wide. Every previous re-pin used floor = population - growth, which lands on the very bottom of that window. Slack is then always exactly growth against an allowance of growth + 1, leaving ONE file of headroom no matter what growth is set to -- doubling growth to 800 would re-pin the floor 400 lower and leave the same single file. That is the treadmill, and it is a property of the formula rather than of the number. 6736 is population - 200: 201 files of headroom before the allowance is breached, 199 files of shrink before completed() is. It is also a stricter floor than 6538 rather than a looser one, because the floor asserts how much of the tree the guard actually reached; only the gap check cares about the distance. Main measures 6936, confirmed by two independent branches rather than asserted: #17323 adds 3 counted files and CI read 6939, #17330 adds 2 and read 6938. Counted additions in flight total +22, and #17327 alone (+14) would have breached the previous 6538 four times over.

…t carries (#17317) (#17318) * fix(provision): stop a long ansible line from replacing the failure it carries (#17317) Reported from a live provisioning run: backend : Install filtered backend requirements fatal: [...]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "cmd": [".../pip3", "install", ...], "msg": "\n:stderr: ER Error: Separator is found, but chunk is longer than limit Two failures stacked and the second hid the first. `pip install` failed, and ansible reported it the way it reports everything: ONE `fatal:` line holding the whole task result as JSON, with pip's entire stderr inside it. That line was past asyncio's default 64 KiB StreamReader limit, so `readline()` raised `ValueError: Separator is found, but chunk is longer than limit`. Nothing caught it, the generator died mid-run, and that ValueError stood in for the pip error it had just swallowed. The operator was shown the reader's failure instead of the provisioning failure, and the real cause was never written down anywhere. THE PART THAT DECIDES THE FIX: `readline()` DESTROYS the line before raising. CPython's implementation clears `self._buffer` on LimitOverrunError and re-raises as a bare ValueError, so catching it recovers nothing however careful the handler is -- verified directly, `read()` afterwards returns 0 bytes. My first attempt did exactly that and its own test caught it. So the reader now uses `readuntil(b"\n")`, which raises LimitOverrunError with the buffer INTACT and `consumed` pointing at how much is readable. The head is kept, the remainder of that line is discarded so the next read starts on a clean boundary, and the yielded line carries a marker so a cut line is never mistaken for a whole one. An over-long line is truncated and reported -- never dropped, never fatal. A line too big to read is still evidence. Also: the spawn now passes `limit=PIPE_LINE_LIMIT` (10 MiB, env-backed and clamped). Raising the constant without passing it to create_subprocess_exec would have left the 64 KiB default in place, which is the version of this fix that looks right and changes nothing. Mutation-verified, each against the real stdlib rather than a mock -- the bug lives in what asyncio raises when its buffer is exceeded, so the buffer has to be exceeded: back to readline() -> 4 FAILED drop limit= from the spawn -> FAILED ..._spawned_with_that_limit skip the discard -> FAILED ..._no_fragment_..._leaks_as_its_own_line That last one is worth its own note. Removing the discard does not crash and does not spin -- it yields the unread tail as an extra blank line between the truncated line and the next real one, quietly feeding the progress parser a line ansible never emitted. Only a shape assertion catches it, and my first pass at these tests did not. WHAT THIS DOES NOT DO: it does not fix the pip failure. That error is still unknown, because it was destroyed before anyone could read it. This change is what makes the next run say what actually went wrong. The reader moved to its own module, services/playbook_output_stream.py. playbook_executor.py is at its grandfathered ceiling and may not grow, and the rule is split rather than raise -- it came out at 1402 against a 1406 ceiling, so the ceiling drops to 1402 in both places that record it. It is also the better seam: this is stream decoding and the executor is orchestration. Closes #17317 Refs #17038 * chore(ratchets): re-pin four counters against the merged tree (#17317, #17142, #16324) Rebased onto 3131039. Three merges landed within the hour (#17314, #17321, #17328) and moved every one of these. REACH FLOORS. hooks-path-override 6536 -> 6538 (measured 6938) and audio-extension-allowlist 5450 -> 5752 (measured 6152). The first is the sixteenth re-pin and 6536 was measured correctly barely an hour ago -- it did not survive three merges. The second had never tripped before today and trips now for the same reason. That is #17142's argument as a data point rather than an argument: a 400-file allowance on a ~6900-file tree is spent faster than a branch can be reviewed, so a floor pinned correctly at measurement time is already stale at merge time. DUPLICATION, MAIN SCOPE. 11723 -> 11707. Sixteen lines of slack, and the gate exits 0 while it sits there, so a fall in duplication is invisible and a later PR can spend it. That is #16324. DUPLICATION, SLM SCOPE: DELIBERATELY UNCHANGED, and this is the part worth reading. A figure of 2918 was reported for it from the guard's run on #17321's merged head. That run predated #17314, which had already lowered the pin from 2945 to 2831. Applying the reported number would have moved the pin from 2831 to 2918 -- RAISING a ratchet, which is the one direction it must never go, and it would have re-licensed 87 lines of duplication while looking like housekeeping. Re-measured here instead, on the actual merged tree: main scope: 11707 duplicated lines, 672 clones, 4288 files -> pin 11707 SLM scope: 2831 duplicated lines, 123 clones, 798 files -> pin 2831, exact Both figures come from running the detector with the workflow's own flags, not from reading a report. The report was accurate about its own tree and wrong about this one, which is the entire hazard of carrying a measurement across a merge. Refs #17317, #17142, #16324 * fix(provision): route the second playbook reader through the same guard (#17317) Review of this PR found the extraction had left a live twin. api/infrastructure.py `_stream_process_output` ran the identical unguarded `readline()` against a pipe spawned without a `limit=`, so the default 64 KiB applied. It is reached from POST /api/execute and runs the same pip-heavy provisioning playbooks -- setup-ai-stack.yml, setup-npu-worker.yml, provision-fleet-roles.yml -- that produce the oversized `fatal:` JSON line this PR exists to survive. Its failure mode was the worse of the two. `readline` clears the buffer and raises a bare ValueError; `_run_playbook`'s broad `except Exception` catches it and reports "Internal server error". So the endpoint answered with strictly less than the original bug report, which at least surfaced the ValueError text. Both halves are needed and neither is sufficient: the shared iterator cannot salvage a line the spawn already capped at 64 KiB, and a raised limit changes nothing while the reader still uses `readline`. Both are asserted, and the reader assertion is written against the BEHAVIOUR (`process.stdout.readline()` absent, `iter_pipe_lines` present) rather than the helper's name, so renaming `_stream_process_output` cannot silently retire the check. Also corrects two stale references to the pre-extraction name `_iter_pipe_lines` left in a comment and a test docstring. * fix(ratchets): pin the hooks reach floor mid-window, not at its bottom (#17317, #17142) Sixteen re-pins of this floor, six in the last two days, and #17142 concluded the growth allowance is too small. The measurement says the allowance is not the cause and raising it would not have helped. The floor has two bounds. verify_floor needs population - floor <= skips + growth (401), so floor >= 6535. completed() needs floor <= what the guard finishes, and skips=1 is this file alone, so that ceiling is population - 1 = 6935. The legal window is 6535..6935, four hundred wide. Every previous re-pin used floor = population - growth, which lands on the very bottom of that window. Slack is then always exactly growth against an allowance of growth + 1, leaving ONE file of headroom no matter what growth is set to -- doubling growth to 800 would re-pin the floor 400 lower and leave the same single file. That is the treadmill, and it is a property of the formula rather than of the number. 6736 is population - 200: 201 files of headroom before the allowance is breached, 199 files of shrink before completed() is. It is also a stricter floor than 6538 rather than a looser one, because the floor asserts how much of the tree the guard actually reached; only the gap check cares about the distance. Main measures 6936, confirmed by two independent branches rather than asserted: #17323 adds 3 counted files and CI read 6939, #17330 adds 2 and read 6938.

Pruned with --prune-baseline (removal-only) and re-audited clean.
…m for code-consumed verdicts (#17307, #17308) #17307 — a judge parse failure approved the workflow step it was asked to gate. `judges/__init__.py` indexed `overall_score`/`recommendation`/`confidence` out of a single-shot reply, any key or enum drift raised, `make_judgment` turned that into an error judgment, and `step_evaluator._check_judge_errors` turned THAT into `should_proceed: True`. The security judge failing to parse therefore approved the command it was assessing. The retry-and-validate loop `structured_ops.extract()` already had now lives in `llm_shared/validated_llm.py` behind a *completer*, so one loop serves every transport: `llm_service` for the judges, the claim verifier and the autoresearch scorer, a direct local Ollama call for `rlm/evaluator.py`, and whatever backend the decision seam is given. It also sends the schema to the provider as `json_schema` (#17305), so native schema mode constrains the reply before the retry is needed. The gate is now a named policy: `AUTOBOT_JUDGE_FAIL_CLOSED` (default open, as #1464 chose), and the response carries `judge_available: False` plus a `degradation` code, counted through the existing approval and error counters — `approved_judge_unavailable` is a different metric label from `approved`. `_build_evaluation_error_response` and `workflow_step_judge.quick_approval_check` had the same hard-coded approval and now follow the same policy. Two parse-miss defaults of the #17306 shape went with it: `rlm/evaluator._extract_float` returned `0.5` when the SCORE line was missing (compared against `quality_threshold` immediately after), and `scorers._parse_rating` fell back to a regex that would find "7" inside a refusal. Both are gone; an unreadable reply is an error result or the existing INDETERMINATE verdict, never a number nobody produced. #17308 — `llm_shared/decisions.py` is the seam: `decide(state, questions)` with choice, score and boolean primitives, answered in one round trip against one state, validated against a generated schema. `claim_verifier.classify_agreement` and the autoresearch scorer are migrated with their bespoke parsers deleted; the judges go through the same loop with `JUDGMENT_SCHEMA` because their payload carries per-dimension scores the three primitives cannot express. The backend is pluggable and defaults to the local small-model path, so the seam needs no new outbound dependency and none is added. Probabilities are reported as `Calibration.SELF_REPORTED`, not calibrated: nobody here has measured them. `scripts/benchmark_decision_backends.py` plus a labelled sample is the gate that would change that — it reports accuracy, p50/p95 latency and the separation between mean probability on right and wrong answers, and promotes nothing. The exclusion list is a test, not a comment: `decisions_exclusions_test.py` asserts that tier routing, the fast-path classifiers, reranking, injection detection and the pre-action verifier gate do not import the seam. `services/claim_verifier.py` shrank 835 -> 830, so both ratchet copies are lowered. `AUTOBOT_JUDGE_FAIL_CLOSED` is registered in `env_registry_agent_runtime.py` with `ENV_VARS.md` regenerated, as the env-var hook requires — both are hub files #17314 also touches.

Attribution, by counting both trees with the same globs rather than adding to what CI last reported: `git ls-tree -r --name-only` gives 6905 sh/py/yml files on origin/main and 6919 on this HEAD, and 6150 vs 6164 python files. The +14 is this stack's own new modules and tests. hooks-path-override 6536 -> 6550 (population 6950, growth 400) audio-extension-allowlist 5450 -> 5764 (population 6164, growth 400) import-hermeticity 602 -> 604 (population 664, growth 60) prompt-injection-detector-strict-mode 2956 -> 2960 (population 3260, growth 300) Each pinned at `population - growth`, which is the stricter direction for a reach floor: it asserts the sweep must reach MORE, unlike a size ceiling, which may only come down.
…ol (#17308) Found by applying tonight's rule to my own branch: would this green test still pass if the thing under test were deleted? It would. Every case in `test_excluded_module_does_not_use_the_decision_seam` asserts an ABSENCE. `path.is_file()` catches a renamed target and `test_the_repo_root_resolves_to_this_checkout` catches a wrong root, but nothing proved `_imports()` can DETECT a seam import. A changed AST node type, a silent exception or a walk that stops early would have made all nine cases pass while reporting "nothing found" for "did not look" -- the exact conflation MEASUREMENT_DISCIPLINE.md opens with. The new case asserts the detector finds the seam import in `services/claim_verifier.py`, a production caller migrated onto the seam in #17308 rather than a fixture that could drift out of the shape it stands for. Mutation-verified rather than asserted: with `_imports` blinded to return an empty set, the suite goes 1 failed / 11 passed, and the one failure is this new control. Before it, the same blinding produced 11 green.
…t replaced (#17307, #17308) The red CI found and my own consumer sweep missed. `services/research/orchestrator_test.py` stubs the LLM with an `AGREEMENT:` line, so with `classify_agreement` on the decision seam every source came back UNRELATED, no fact was corroborated, and two promotion tests failed on `update_fact` never being awaited. Why the sweep missed it, because the selector is the lesson: I grepped for the migrated SYMBOLS (`classify_agreement`, `LLMJudgeScorer`, `make_judgment`, ...) across test files. This file never names any of them -- it drives `ResearchOrchestrator`, which calls `ClaimVerifier` two layers down. A grep for the symbol can only find direct namers, which is the "query narrower than its reading" shape MEASUREMENT_DISCIPLINE.md opens with. The instrument that would have found it is a grep for the REPLY FORMAT rather than the caller: `AGREEMENT:`, `SCORE:`, `{"rating": N}`. Re-run that way, the remaining hits are all unrelated (marketplace ratings, skill-health fixtures, a judge prompt template), so this was the last one. Two failures, both real assertions rather than flakes -- exactly what the shape said: a named failing step at 9.3 minutes, not an empty step list at the 60 minute ceiling.

… not a bypass (#17060) (#17352) * fix(security): the task-ownership store fails closed, so an outage is not a bypass (#17060) verify_task_owner returned True on any Redis error. /steer and /answer have no other authorization, so while the store was down ANY signed-in user could steer or answer ANY running agent task -- the control absent at exactly the moment nobody is watching it. register_task_owner had the same shape: it returned True on a write failure, telling its caller ownership was recorded when nothing was stored. Both now deny and log at error level. The admin bypass is checked BEFORE any Redis call, so an operator still reaches a stuck task during an outage -- which is what makes denying non-admins acceptable rather than an outage of its own. Matches #16411/#16387. This is #17060's third criterion only, and the issue does NOT close. The other three are blocked, and on what: - "verify_task_owner never registers the caller; with no recorded owner only an admin passes" cannot ship alone. NOTHING registers owners today -- `git grep -rln register_task_owner` on main returns the module and its own test, nothing else -- so denying unowned tasks would refuse every non-admin steer and answer, which is a functional outage wearing a security fix's clothes. - "Every agent task records its verified creator at creation" has no site to hook: no route mints a task_id (every one in api/agent_terminal.py receives it), and the loop that builds the TaskContext holds no authenticated principal. - The discovery half -- agent_loop/loop.py:1787 publishes APPROVAL_REQUIRED with task_id to the "global" channel, which api/live_events.py:236 admits every authenticated client to -- is a one-line change to a file PR #17327 currently holds. Same-file rule: not taken here. So the outage bypass is closed and the steady-state hole is not. Stating it rather than implying the issue is handled. Verified: 11 tests pass. Mutation -- restore the `return True` in verify_task_owner's except -- turns test_redis_outage_denies_a_non_admin red and nothing else, then green on revert. The admin-during-outage and failed-registration cases are new tests, not rewordings of the old one. Local passes are not CI (#17144). Refs #17060 * fix(security): deny where a real outage actually lands, not where an exception would (#17060) Review found the first version of this fix does not cover the scenario in the issue title, and that its tests passed by exercising a path production never takes. Verified every link before rewriting: 1. task_owner.py `if existing is None: register(); return True` 2. autobot_shared/redis_client.py redis_get: `client = await get_async_redis_client()` `if client: return await client.get(key)` / `return None` 3. get_async_redis_client docstring "or None if Redis is disabled or the circuit breaker is open" -- it does not raise 4. the old tests patched redis_get to RAISE ConnectionError So a real outage returns None, lands on "no owner recorded", registers the caller and GRANTS -- for every task at once. The `except Exception` deny blocks were real but only reachable in a much narrower window: a command failing after a good connection. The tests injected an exception at a layer that, in production, swallows exceptions and returns None. Green suite, surviving vulnerability, on the authorization control itself. The fix distinguishes the two states the wrapper collapses. `_owner_of` acquires the client directly and returns a `_STORE_UNAVAILABLE` sentinel when there is none, so "could not determine owner" can no longer read as "verified absent" -- which was the exact distinction this issue's first criterion rests on. - verify_task_owner denies on `_STORE_UNAVAILABLE` and, separately, on a mid-command failure. Two branches because they are two different facts; both deny. - register_task_owner has the mirror fix: the same None collapse fell through to `return True`, so a failed write reported an established owner -- contradicting its own docstring. Not independently exploitable today (nothing reads that return), but it would mislead #17060's steady-state half the moment something does. - The module docstring's "If Redis is unavailable the function degrades gracefully (logs a warning, allows the call)" was untouched by the first diff and contradicted both the new behaviour and the PR body. Corrected. Tests now mock `get_async_redis_client` returning None -- the production failure shape -- rather than a raise. Added: an admin still admitted during an outage, a mid-command failure denied, and a positive control that an unowned task is still adopted when the store is healthy, without which "denies" could just mean "always denies". The in-memory fixture moved from the `redis_get` wrapper to a fake client, because faking the wrapper is what hid this. Verified: 12 tests pass. Mutation -- collapse `_STORE_UNAVAILABLE` back into the unowned branch, i.e. reintroduce exactly the original defect -- fails `test_a_real_outage_denies_a_non_admin` and nothing else; green on revert. That mutation is the proof the first version could not produce. Local passes are not CI (#17144). Found by autobot-ai-f8, who traced all four links rather than trusting a green suite. Refs #17060

…ments in prose (#13049, #17142) Rebased onto origin/main e575e3c. KEEPING 3100 RATHER THAN ADOPTING, which inverts this branch's usual rule and is agreed rather than unilateral. #17327 merged carrying prompt-injection-detector-strict-mode at 2960 -- `population - growth`, so main sits at slack exactly 300 of a 300 allowance and the next branch adding one non-test backend module turns it red. This is that branch. autobot-ai-63 held back an identical 3100 so it would resolve here rather than race, and autobot-ai-f8 asked for it to be kept. First-to-land-wins presumes the landed value is VALID. 2960 is not, for any tree with one more file than main's, which is what "zero headroom by construction" means. Measured on this tree (in this message, not in the file -- see below): prompt-inj population 3261 pin 3100 slack 161/300 hooks population 6960 pin 6736 slack 224/401 audio population 6173 completed 5786 pin 5764 margin 22 import-herm population 664 pin 604 slack 60/60 zero headroom, untouched here hooks-path-override adopts main's 6736 unchanged: unlike the prompt-injection pin it is not at the bottom of its window, so this branch's files do not exhaust it. NO MEASURED NUMBERS IN EITHER COMMENT NOW, and that is the durable fix rather than a third cleanup. Both notes previously cited a population and a slack figure; both were stale one rebase later -- the prompt-injection block still said "main re-pinned this to 2958 ... this branch 3259" after main reached 2960 and the tree reached 3261, and the hooks note claimed slack ~204 against an actual 224. That is the same mechanism that produced four orphaned narratives in these files tonight: a rebase resolves the VALUE and nothing resolves the SENTENCE, because prose lands as a pure addition in a different commit. Deleting each one as it is found is a treadmill. Prose that cites no measurement cannot go stale, so both notes now state the DECISION and the METHOD and send the reader to re-derive. The arithmetic lives here, in a commit message, which cannot drift from the tree it describes. The prompt-injection declaration is also rebuilt on main's current comment rather than carrying this branch's copy of an older one, so main's own account of 2955 -> 2956 -> 2958 -> 2960 is intact and unedited above the note.

…C4 only) (#17346) * refactor(optimization): one lazy-import primitive, and the accelerate fork closed (#13049) C4 ONLY, AND THE ISSUE SAYS SO. #13049's Ordering section reads: "Land them after the #13030 P0 defects, so the enum work is done against a module whose behaviour is verifiable. C4 is independent and can go any time." All eight #13030 children are still open, including the P0 defects #13031/#13032/#13033, so C1 (architecture-family taxonomies), C2 (dtype vocabularies) and C3 (compression validation) are not touched here. Those blockers are now recorded as native blocked_by edges on #13049 rather than left as prose in an Ordering paragraph nobody queries. C4: _import_accelerate() was defined twice in llm_shared/optimization/ -- meta_eviction.py and model_inspector.py -- same package, same optional dependency. The issue calls them "character-for-character in intent"; they had in fact already drifted on the part that matters. meta_eviction caught (ImportError, RuntimeError) and re-raised BOTH as ImportError; model_inspector caught ImportError alone and let RuntimeError through. That divergence decided the design rather than being papered over. torch_loader had already ruled on exactly this question (#12714): a custom error_message applies only when the dependency is genuinely ABSENT, while a RuntimeError -- installed but failed to initialise -- is re-raised unchanged, because rewording it as "Install with: pip install X" sends a reader to fix something that is already there. The rule is inherited, not invented. It changes one behaviour, narrowly: meta_eviction's RuntimeError-to-ImportError conversion is gone. Its public entry point evict_layer_to_meta documents "ImportError: If quantizer is provided but accelerate is not installed" -- the not-installed case, which still raises ImportError. The only call site, _evict_quantized_layer, is unguarded, and nothing upstream catches it, so no handler changes meaning. NOT a third copy of the machinery. Rather than clone torch_loader's caching and double-checked locking into an accelerate_loader beside it, the primitive moved to llm_shared/lazy_import.py and both loaders are thin wrappers over it. lazy_torch keeps its exact signature and behaviour; its 18 call sites are untouched, and nothing outside the module ever referenced the _torch/_torch_error globals it used to own (checked before moving them). Call-site impact, which the symbol rename made load-bearing: 9 existing tests patched "...meta_eviction._import_accelerate" / "...model_inspector. _import_accelerate" by name. Retargeted to lazy_accelerate in the same module namespaces, which is where the imported symbol lives. Grepping the behaviour rather than the symbol is rule 7 for exactly this reason. lazy_import_test.py pins the asymmetry that had no test while the rule lived in torch_loader -- and which the two forks had already drifted apart on: an ImportError takes the call site's wording, a RuntimeError is re-raised unchanged and ignores error_message. Both driven through the real import path rather than by seeding the cache, so they also prove RuntimeError is among the exceptions caught. Also pinned: the failure is cached rather than retried, and eight threads racing first use all receive one module object -- the race #12714 found in 8 of its 9 copies. Refs #13049, #12714, #13030 * fix(optimization): put the accelerate loader where the harness can see it (#13049) The first attempt added llm_shared/lazy_import.py and llm_shared/accelerate_loader.py at the package root and made torch_loader delegate to the shared primitive. The pre-push suite refused it, and the reason is worth recording rather than routing around. A module at the llm_shared ROOT is invisible to the test harness until it is named in autobot-backend/conftest.py. That package's __init__.py eagerly imports .adapters (reaching autobot_shared and the provider stack), so conftest installs a stub whose __path__ is [] and real-loads only the submodules tests need -- torch_loader among them, added by #12714 when it created that module. Two more entries were the obvious fix. conftest.py cannot take them. It sits at EXACTLY its recorded 1505-line ceiling on origin/main (measured: git show origin/main:autobot-backend/conftest.py | wc -l = 1505, baseline 1505 in both python_file_size_known_large.py and python_file_size_ratchet_baseline.py). A grandfathered file may not grow, and raising a ceiling is not allowed -- so this is a second zero-headroom ceiling on main, alongside the audio-extension-allowlist reach floor, and it blocks ANY new llm_shared root module for everyone, not just this change. WHAT CHANGED INSTEAD. llm_shared.optimization is given a REAL __path__ by that same conftest, and both callers of the loader live there. So the loader is llm_shared/optimization/accelerate_loader.py, imported as `from .accelerate_loader import lazy_accelerate`, and needs no registration at all. conftest.py and torch_loader.py are now byte-identical to origin/main -- verified with `git diff origin/main` on both, empty. That is not free, and the cost is stated rather than hidden: the locking-and-caching machinery now exists twice, here and in torch_loader. Extracting it into one primitive requires a conftest entry, so it is blocked on that ceiling and filed separately. The alternative -- hiding a generic LazyModule class inside a module named torch_loader purely to dodge a size limit -- would be a workaround shaped by the constraint rather than by the design, so it was not taken. The consolidation #13049 C4 asks for is delivered either way: two _import_accelerate() copies become one lazy_accelerate(), and the raise policy they had drifted apart on is inherited from torch_loader's recorded ruling rather than re-decided -- error_message applies to a genuine ImportError, a RuntimeError is re-raised unchanged. Verified on this tree: accelerate_loader_test + meta_eviction_test + model_inspector_test . 56 passed llm_shared/ (excluding pricing/) ................. 683 passed, 128 skipped llm_shared/pricing/sync_cache_scheduler_test.py fails to collect here and is NOT caused by this change: "llc.scheduler.base requires asyncio.Task.cancelling() (Python 3.11+)", identical on the untouched origin/main checkout. This machine runs 3.10; CI runs 3.14. Refs #13049, #12714 * chore(ratchets): re-pin the two floors main left at zero headroom (#13049, #17142) Rebased onto origin/main 3f0d4b3. Two declarations were red, both because main sits at EXACTLY its allowance and this branch adds counting files. hooks-path-override 6536 -> 6800 population 6938 (6907 glob hits for *.sh/*.py/*.yml/*.yaml, plus 31 extensionless files whose shebang says shell), completed 6937 (`read` counts opened files, minus the one EXEMPT). At 6536: slack 402 against growth 400 + skips 1 = 401. One over. Window [6537, 6937]. prompt-injection-detector-strict-mode 2956 -> 3100 population 3257 non-test .py under autobot-backend/ (origin/main: 3256, slack exactly 300 = the whole growth allowance, skips defaults to 0). This branch adds accelerate_loader.py, so 301. Window [2957, 3257]; no completed() call on this declaration, so verify_floor is the only bound. audio-extension-allowlist needed nothing: already pinned to 5700 on this branch, population 6152 against window [5452, 5766]. NEITHER IS PINNED TO THE MINIMUM, and that is the point. hooks-path-override has been re-pinned SIXTEEN times, and its own comment block records why each time: every re-pin took the bottom of the window, so the next file main added was another red, and the branch paying for it was never the branch that caused it. 6800 and 3100 are mid-window -- slack 138 and 157 against allowances of 401 and 300 -- which buys ~260 and ~143 files of headroom instead of zero. The reasoning is autobot-ai-58's, from #17338. 6800 is deliberately 58's value rather than a fourth number for one measurement: if #17338 lands first this line is identical and there is nothing to resolve. autobot-ai-f8 proposed 6736 for the post-#17318 tree, also inside the window; 6800 leaves more headroom. Rule agreed between the three sessions: first to land wins, the others adopt rather than re-derive. 3100 is new -- no peer has a re-pin of that declaration in flight. Verified with the declaring module explicitly in the session: pytest autobot-backend/security/prompt_injection_detector_strict_mode_test.py \ repo_tests/reach_declarations_test.py -> 192 passed That invocation is not incidental. The declaration's own docstring warns it reaches the sweep only when something else has already imported its module: running repo_tests/ alone drops the parameter count from 36 to 35 and reports a clean pass over a floor it never checked. 5.8%, and sixteen re-pins is the evidence that the allowance is what is wrong. Refs #13049, #17142, #17338 * chore(ratchets): adopt main's floors, re-pin the one it left one file short (#13049, #17142) Rebased onto origin/main e8c7bf9. Main moved three floors in the 40 minutes since the previous rebase; all three are ADOPTED, and one of them is red here. audio-extension-allowlist 5752 -> 5757 on main adopted, green import-hermeticity 602 -> 604 on main adopted, green hooks-path-override 6736 unchanged adopted, green prompt-injection-... 2956 -> 2958 on main adopted, RED -> 3100 Measured on this tree: audio pop 6164 completed 5778 pin 5757 slack 407/700 margin 21 hooks pop 6950 completed 6949 pin 6736 slack 214/401 import-herm pop 664 pin 604 slack 60/60 ZERO headroom prompt-inj pop 3259 pin 2958 slack 301/300 ONE OVER prompt-injection-detector-strict-mode is re-pinned 2958 -> 3100, mid-window of [2959, 3259]. Main pinned 2958 from its own population of 3258 -- slack exactly 300, the whole allowance, zero headroom. This branch adds ONE non-test module under autobot-backend/ and that is enough. THE PATTERN IS NOW THE FINDING, not any individual pin. This is the third time tonight a floor pinned at `population - growth` has gone red on the next branch to touch its roots: hooks-path-override, then this declaration at 2956, then this declaration again at 2958. Each time main pins from its own population, each time the next branch adds a file, and each time the branch that pays for the re-pin is not the branch that caused it -- which is what sixteen comment blocks in hooks_path_override_15961_test.py already say, one per re-pin. 3100 buys ~159 files of headroom so the fourth branch does not repeat it. The alternative -- adopting 2958 to honour first-to-land -- would be adopting a value that does not pass here, which the rule was never meant to require. import-hermeticity is adopted at main's 604 and sits at slack 60 against an allowance of 60: passing, zero headroom, and red for whoever next adds a module under api/ or autobot_shared/. Not re-pinned here because this branch does not add one; #17342 is the branch that does and carries 633. Refs #13049, #17142 * chore(ratchets): keep 3100 over main's 2960, and stop putting measurements in prose (#13049, #17142) Rebased onto origin/main e575e3c. KEEPING 3100 RATHER THAN ADOPTING, which inverts this branch's usual rule and is agreed rather than unilateral. #17327 merged carrying prompt-injection-detector-strict-mode at 2960 -- `population - growth`, so main sits at slack exactly 300 of a 300 allowance and the next branch adding one non-test backend module turns it red.

Thinking Path
Based on #17322, not on
main. #17307 isblocked_by#17305, and the fix here leans on it directly: the validated loop sends the schema to the provider asjson_schema, which only reaches native schema mode because #17305 wired it. So this branch carries #17322's commits and its diff includes them. Merge that one first.Both issues are one defect at two altitudes, which is why they are one PR by one owner (they also share
judges/__init__.py).#17307 — the gate read a parse failure as approval.
judges/__init__.pyindexedoverall_score,recommendationandconfidencestraight out of a single-shot reply (:242-244). Any key or enum drift raised,make_judgmentcaught it at:129and returned an error judgment, andstep_evaluator._check_judge_errorsturned that intoshould_proceed: Truewith alogger.warning. The security judge failing to parse therefore approved the command it was asked to assess — live viaworkflow_automation/executor.py:217.e4's note pointed at the fix already existing:
structured_ops.extract()had the retry-and-validate loop, and all three of its production callers were extraction sites. Not one decision site used it. So rather than writing a fourth mechanism, the loop moved intollm_shared/validated_llm.pybehind a completer — any coroutine turning a (system, user) prompt pair into text. That is what lets one loop serve five sites with three different transports:llm_servicefor the judges, the claim verifier and the autoresearch scorer; a direct local Ollama call forrlm/evaluator.py; and whatever backend the decision seam holds.Two more parse-miss defaults of the #17306 shape turned up next door and went with it:
rlm/evaluator._extract_floatreturned 0.5 when theSCORE:line was missing, compared againstquality_thresholdon the next line, andscorers._parse_ratingfell back to a regex that finds "7" inside a refusal. Both are the defect #17306 recorded in the pre-action verifier, in different files.#17308 — the seam. Eight sites, eight bespoke prompt-plus-parser-plus-threshold triples.
decide(state, questions)replaces the triple with three primitives, one round trip, one generated schema. The audit's do-not-apply list is load-bearing, so it is a test rather than a paragraph:decisions_exclusions_test.pyasserts that tier routing, the fast-path classifiers, reranking, injection detection and the pre-action verifier gate do not import the seam, and fails if one of those files is renamed out from under the check.Two AC interpretations worth a reviewer's attention, both stated rather than quietly taken:
judges/__init__.py:157as a migration target. Its payload carries per-dimensioncriterion_scores,improvement_suggestionsandalternatives_analysis— which choice/score/boolean cannot express, and whichstep_evaluator._extract_safety_scoreand the operator-facing messages both read. Migrating it to the primitives would have silently dropped them. So the judges obtain their verdict through the same validated loop withJUDGMENT_SCHEMA(bug(workflow-engine): a judge parse failure approves the workflow step it was asked to gate #17307 AC1's "or an equivalent retry+validate path"), their hand-indexing parser is deleted, and the mechanism underneath is the same one the seam uses. If you want the judgment expressed as N score questions plus a choice question instead, that is a behaviour change to the payload and belongs in its own PR.SELF_REPORTED, never claimed as calibrated. feat(agent-seam): one typed-decision seam for code-consumed verdicts, local-backend-first #17308 AC1 asks for "calibrated probabilities". Nobody here has measured calibration, so claiming it would be exactly the evidence-shaped guess the issue's own last AC warns about. Every answer carries aCalibrationenum; the local backend reportsSELF_REPORTED;scripts/benchmark_decision_backends.pyis what would justifyMEASURED, and it reports the separation between mean probability on right and wrong answers — a number that is the same for both is a number with no information in it.What Changed

pre-commitran on the commit (no--no-verify, nocore.hooksPath) and caught two things, both fixed rather than bypassed:detect-hardcoded-valuesflagged the literal"system"/"user"roles in the new completer, nowCategoryDefaults.ROLE_SYSTEM/ROLE_USER;env-vars-documentedrefused the unregisteredAUTOBOT_JUDGE_FAIL_CLOSED, now registered with the docs regenerated.[pre-push OK] pytest: all relevant tests passon the push.Stated gaps — not claims of coverage:
autobot-backend/llm_shared/pricing/is excluded from the local run because it requires Python 3.11+ (asyncio.Task.cancelling(), platform floor 3.14) and this interpreter is 3.10 — that is environmental, not a change here.AGREEMENT:line doubles,{"rating": N}doubles in two files, and"Evaluation error" in reason. Each assertion was the defect: the prose-rating test now asserts an error result instead of0.7scraped out of "I rate this 7 out of 10".Acceptance criteria
