fix(harness): close empty and breaker-halted turns from tool records and check the reply - #6289
Conversation
…and check the reply A tool turn that ends without final text (tinyhumansai#4093) shipped any non-empty wrap-up, including intent narration and claims its own tool results contradicted. A top-level breaker halt replaced the reply with the model-directed stop note and dropped the tool errors. Both now close through Agent::close_turn_from_records: a wrap-up grounded in the turn's tool records (with the stop note as input on a halt), a separate check call that rejects intent-only, contradicted or reason-dropping replies, and a deterministic fallback that quotes each result's output. Accepted text streams only after the check. Closes tinyhumansai#6278 Closes tinyhumansai#6279

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe harness now closes empty or breaker-halted turns from tool records. It verifies generated closing text before streaming or storing it, and uses a deterministic summary when the text is empty, rejected, or unclear. Repeated tool calls now retain their matching results. ChangesGrounded turn closure

…s neutrally Prompt-guided tool calls reuse call_0, call_1 ids every round, and the record builders took the first outcome with a matching id, so later rounds were recorded with the first round's result. Match by id, tool name and occurrence instead. The breaker also halts runs whose identical calls keep succeeding, so the stop-note preamble and the fallback lead no longer say the calls failed. Also replaces Iterator::last with next_back in parse_close_verdict (clippy double_ended_iterator_last).

…o verdict A failed or malformed check left the close unverified, and it was shipped anyway. Only an explicit ACCEPT now ships the model's text; anything else uses the deterministic fallback. Adds a regression test for an unclear verdict.

Summary
Incomplete { reason }path and the cap checkpoint path behave exactly as before.Problem
Two defects seen in a live v0.63.28 session. Five turns, and no reply ever told the user why their request could not be done.
harness_turn.rsaccepted the [Harness] Always emit a final answer/summary before a turn ends #4093 closing summary if!summary.trim().is_empty(). One turn's entire reply was "I'll search for a code review skill in the registry." after 14 tool calls. Another said "there is no skill registry and no installation mechanism" in the same turn where a registry search returned 272 entries. Earlier tool bodies had been cleared or summarised by context middleware, so the wrap-up could not see what it was contradicting. When the fallback did fire, it reduced every failure to the word "failed".turn_run_finalize.rsoverridesoutcome.textwith the breaker summary. The chat path had nobreaker_haltbranch, so the summary became the reply and was never written to history. The user saw "Stopping: 6 tool calls in a row failed ... Report this back instead of retrying." The tool errors carrying "View it at https://skills.sh/..." links were dropped.Solution
New
turn/core/grounded_close.rs,Agent::close_turn_from_records, used by both branches inharness_turn.rs:final_answer_instruction(stop_reason, records)restates the turn's tool records (render_tool_results, bounded atGROUNDING_TOTAL_CHARS, newest first, omissions disclosed). A halt reason is added as a<stop_note>to explain, not repeat.FINAL_ANSWER_INSTRUCTIONnow rules out narrating next steps and requires passing on the failing tool's reason.close_verification_promptgoes to a separate tools-disabled call that sees only the request, the records and the candidate. It is given no conversation, so it cannot copy the turn's own "I'll do X" tool-call preambles. It rejects three shapes of reply: intent only, contradicted by a record, or missing the failure that explains an unfinished request.parse_close_verdicttakes the last standaloneACCEPT/REJECTtoken.build_deterministic_final_summaryquotes each result's own output. On a halt it also quotes the stop note under "Why I stopped", because for a missing connection or exhausted credits that note is the user's next step.Supporting changes:
summarize_turn_wrapupgains astream_textflag. The cap path passestrueand is unchanged.reprompt_for_required_blockis renamedsilent_completion(.., purpose)so the required-output repair and the check share one non-streaming call.build_deterministic_checkpointnow renders through the extractedrender_tool_results. Its output is byte-identical, and the existing checkpoint tests are unchanged and pass.Task classes covered: any top-level chat turn that ends without usable final text after tool work, and any top-level turn halted by the breaker in any form: identical retries, varied failures, policy re-issue, recoverable-headroom exhaustion, terminal inference failure, a user-actionable missing connection, or identical calls that keep succeeding (
RepeatProgressMiddleware). Tool outcomes are matched by id, tool name and occurrence, so prompt-guided turns that reusecall_0across rounds record each round with its own result. Nothing is keyed to a tool, a task, or a count seen in the traces.Deliberately not covered:
hit_capwork is changing.Incompleteto a parent model, the reader that wording was written for.Cost: one extra check call, only on the degraded path. Only an explicit
ACCEPTships the model's text. AREJECT, a failed check call, or a response with no verdict leaves the reply unverified, and it is replaced by the deterministic fallback (CodeRabbit on this PR).Overlaps: W2 edits the error path of the same file (
harness_turn.rsnearoutcome?). W4 changes howhit_capis computed, which decides whether a capped turn reaches this path or the MAX_ITER checkpoint. This PR does not touch either region.Submission Checklist
