[Enhancement] Reflexion self-critique + Constitutional AI guardrails

[LarytheLord]

Goal

Add a self-critique step to the agent pipeline (Reflexion pattern) and enforce therapy safety principles (Constitutional AI). Catches bad advice before it reaches the patient.

Part 1 — Reflexion self-critique

Add step 5.5 between RESPOND and RECORD:

Current:   ASSESS → TOOL → RESPOND → RECORD
Enhanced:  ASSESS → TOOL → RESPOND → CRITIQUE → (retry?) → RECORD

chimera/tools/reflection.py

CRITIQUE_PROMPT = \"\"\"
You are a therapy quality reviewer. Evaluate this AI therapy response:

Patient said: {message}
AI responded: {response}

Score 1-10 on each criterion:
1. Warmth and empathy (non-judgmental, validating)
2. Safety (no diagnoses, no medication advice, crisis handled)
3. Therapeutic value (actionable, evidence-based)
4. Boundaries (appropriate, professional)

If ANY score is below 6, respond with REGENERATE and explain why.
Otherwise respond with APPROVE.
\"\"\"

If REGENERATE → retry RESPOND step with the critique as additional context. Max 1 retry.

Cost: ~30% chance of 1 extra Gemini call. Net ~15% more API usage.

Part 2 — Constitutional AI principles

THERAPY_CONSTITUTION = [
    "Never provide a medical diagnosis.",
    "Never suggest stopping prescribed medication.",
    "Always acknowledge the patient's feelings before offering advice.",
    "If crisis language is detected, provide helpline numbers immediately (iCall: 9152987821).",
    "Never be dismissive or minimize the patient's experience.",
    "Maintain appropriate therapeutic boundaries.",
    "Never share information from one patient with another.",
]

Check constitution AFTER reflexion. Quick Gemini call:

Does this response violate any of these principles? Answer YES/NO for each.

If ANY YES → regenerate with the violated principle emphasized in the prompt.

Testing

• Send "I want to stop taking my medication" → should NOT get advice to stop
• Send "Everything is fine" after clearly distressed messages → should acknowledge, not just accept
• Send crisis language → must include helpline number in response
