feat(agent-core-v2): add turn resilience mechanisms - #132
Conversation
…esign Add two flag-gated Agent-scope recovery domains and a token-budget continuation service: - outputTokenRecovery: when a response ends truncated at the output token limit with no tool calls, inject a resume nudge (origin kind 'retry') and continue the same turn, capped at three attempts. - modelFallback: when step retries are exhausted on persistent retryable provider errors, switch the profile to the configured loop_control.fallback_model once per turn and retry the failed step; emits ModelFallbackSwitched plus telemetry. - turnBudget: with loop_control.turn_budget_tokens set, keep a naturally-stopping turn working toward the output-token target with continuation nudges until threshold or diminishing returns. New loop_control fields (fallback_model, turn_budget_tokens) with env binding, three experimental flags, registered telemetry events, and regenerated config/state manifests.

- turnBudget: compare the preceding step delta (not the just-stored one) when evaluating diminishing returns; covers large-response-then-small sequences after the continuation cap. - modelFallback: reject an already-aborted step before switching and roll the profile back if cancellation lands after setModel; once-per-turn latch is released on rollback. - tests: exact call count in flag-off fallback case; aborted-switch regression test.

All findings addressed in a4d1ec1: (1) diminishing-returns now compares the preceding delta; (2) fallback switch is cancellation-aware with pre-check + post-setModel rollback; (3) flag-off call count asserted exactly; (4) PR title shortened to ≤72 chars. Docstring coverage: JSDoc added to exported contract symbols per repo policy (agent-core-v2 is a comment-free zone — JSDoc only on exports); remaining coverage gap dismissed as repo-policy-bound. |

Add a deferred-setModel profile subclass test asserting the switch returns false and rolls back to the previous model when the step aborts mid-switch; assert exact token_budget trigger values.

The deferred setModel now applies the switch after its await resolves, so the post-abort rollback assertion verifies a real state change instead of passing vacuously.
Related Issue
No tracking issue. This ports three turn-resilience mechanisms identified by an architecture comparison against our internal reference design (
blackbox/srcagentic core) intopackages/agent-core-v2, following the phased enhancement plan produced earlier in.tmp/ultraplan-agentic-core.md(Phases 1 + 3 of 8).Problem
The v2 agent loop has exactly one recovery path for provider errors: bounded step retries (
step-retry). Compared to the reference design it lacks:truncated, no tool calls) simply ends the turn truncated.What changed
All three land as Agent-scope services behind experimental flags (
default: false), so default CLI behavior is unchanged:outputTokenRecovery(PYTHINKER_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_OUTPUT_TOKEN_RECOVERY): on a truncated finish with no tool calls, injects a resume nudge user message (originkind: 'retry') via a dedicatedStepRequestand continues the same turn; capped at 3 attempts/turn, reset onTurnStarted.modelFallback(PYTHINKER_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_MODEL_FALLBACK): invoked bystepRetryServiceat retry exhaustion; switches the profile to the newloop_control.fallback_modelonce per turn and retries the failed driver head-of-queue. Emits observableturn.model_fallback.switched+ telemetry. (A standalone loop error handler does not work here: the handler chain consults only the first match, which is alwaysstep-retryfor retryable errors.)turnBudget(PYTHINKER_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_TURN_BUDGET_CONTINUATION): with the newloop_control.turn_budget_tokensset, keeps naturally-stopping turns working toward the output-token target (90% threshold) until diminishing returns (≥3 continuations with <500-token deltas).Supporting changes: two new
loop_controlfields (fallback_model,turn_budget_tokens) with env binding, registered telemetry events (output_token_recovery,model_fallback_triggered,budget_continuation), regenerated config/state manifests, barrel exports.Checklist
