ReplyKind and reply_kind name what a reply with no tool call is, RecoveryState holds what a turn has spent, and decide maps the two to the next RecoveryAction. The helpers decide reads stand on their own: next_step_down offers only high and low and never minimal, deterministic_empty and resend_budget are Hermes's zero-output and cost guards, empty_retry_delay is its jittered backoff, and reasoning_excerpt caps the thinking a failure shows. The failure and continuation wording is held verbatim. agents.defaults.emptyRetryCostThresholdUsd (default 0.25) is the one new config key. The suite shrinks the backoff bounds to a millisecond like the other production waits.

Two zero-output replies of one model and finish stop the resends, and a reply whose reported cost reaches the configured threshold is resent once. A resend asks the same step again, so it is not billed an iteration. - An empty reply right after tools is nudged once, in Hermes's words. - A thinking-only reply is prefilled twice where the provider takes a prefill, then asked again at high and at low, once each. The prefill rows come off the request first, so it never ends on an assistant message. - A reply cut at the ceiling with nothing in it is continued, and the max_tokens it carries doubles from the ceiling of the cut call. - A failed turn reports each kind in Hermes's wording. LoopOutcome and AnswerlessTurnError carry no_output for a model that gave nothing back. The neighbouring loop tests that pinned the old budgets and wording are updated to the new ones. --- raven/agent/loop/_shared.py | 17 +- raven/agent/loop/recovery.py | 7 +- raven/agent/loop/turn_path.py | 325 +++++++----- tests/test_agent_loop_broken_turn.py | 4 +- tests/test_agent_loop_dead_end_retry.py | 43 +- tests/test_agent_loop_empty_recovery.py | 648 ++++++++++++++---------- 6 files changed, 628 insertions(+), 416 deletions(-) diff --git a/raven/agent/loop/_shared.py b/raven/agent/loop/_shared.py index cdce7e333..3824e463d 100644 --- a/raven/agent/loop/_shared.py +++ b/raven/agent/loop/_shared.py @@ -256,22 +256,27 @@ class LoopOutcome: next turn's recovery prompt. ``error`` is the loop's own account of why this turn has no answer, in the - words a reader is shown: a model call it gave up on, or an empty-response - recovery that spent every budget without a word coming back.

A switch holds for the rest of the turn, and the chain handed to the provider is what is left of it, so a call never walks back onto a model the loop has already given up. - A refusal is never resent. It switches to one fallback model, and the next model's refusal ends the turn with the model's own explanation. - An empty or thinking-only reply moves to the next fallback once its resends or step-downs are spent. Each fallback model gets one try, and the prefill rows of the model being left come off the request first. - An upstream error on a streamed call switches to a fallback before the turn waits on the error ladder. A plain call already walks its chain inside the provider, so the loop leaves it there.

From f2f3c870f4185a14dd450e12b144c1ff297f73ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dizhan Xue Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2026 16:53:37 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 017/139] feat(agent): continue a streamed answer that was cut and stitch it back A streamed reply that has text and no finish reason is a stream the upstream closed early. The loop keeps what arrived, asks the model to go on from it, and delivers the parts joined, up to three continuations. - The parts are joined untrimmed and the answer is trimmed once, so the space at the cut survives whichever side it fell on. - A continuation that comes back empty leaves the partial as the answer. A backend that never sends a finish costs one extra call per reply, not a failure. - Still cut after the third continuation, the turn ends interrupted with the partial and the Hermes note, which is also pushed to the stream because the closing text is not sent again once anything has streamed. - A reply held back for a hook that can roll it back is released before its continuation, so the reader sees the partial once. - A cut answer the model goes on to act on does not become the head of the reply it gives after the tools. The stream fakes in the loop tests now end with the terminal chunk a real provider sends; without it every scripted reply reads as cut. --- raven/agent/loop/recovery.py | 9 +- raven/agent/loop/turn_path.py | 43 +++++- tests/test_agent_loop_empty_recovery.py | 158 +++++++++++++++++++- tests/test_agent_loop_llm_error_patience.py | 3 + tests/test_agent_loop_run_emit.py | 11 +- tests/test_rpc_message_tool_route.py | 1 + 6 files changed, 217 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/raven/agent/loop/recovery.py b/raven/agent/loop/recovery.py index f302a4a30..1a9d68149 100644 --- a/raven/agent/loop/recovery.py +++ b/raven/agent/loop/recovery.py @@ -313,9 +313,13 @@ def _usage(response: LLMResponse) -> dict: return usage if isinstance(usage, dict) else {} -def strip_think_blocks(text: str) -> str: +def strip_think_blocks(text: str, *, trim: bool = True) -> str: """Remove paired think blocks.

Whenever the decision would be RETRY, STEP_DOWN, FALLBACK or FAIL, the loop ends the turn answered instead, with no text of its own; the instant moves (prefill, nudge, continuation) still run first. The check is the one the turn's closing code already makes, and the decision itself stays pure. Before this, an empty reply after the message tool sent waited through three backed-off resends, about a minute, for a reader who had the answer. The exhaustion wrap-up is not asked for a turn that ended this way, so a turn that lands on its last iteration is not summarised a second time. A resend and a step-down now announce their wait with the transient notice the model-error ladder uses, staged the same way, with the detail empty_reply or thinking_only. The ladder itself goes through the same helper. The turn's other moves (prefill, nudge, continuation, fallback) do not wait and say nothing. --- CONTEXT.md | 17 +- raven/agent/loop/turn_path.py | 77 ++++++--- raven/spine/events.py | 8 +- tests/test_agent_loop_empty_recovery.py | 201 ++++++++++++++++++++++-- 4 files changed, 261 insertions(+), 42 deletions(-) diff --git a/CONTEXT.md b/CONTEXT.md index 95b567c0f..96ff4cbb6 100644 --- a/CONTEXT.md +++ b/CONTEXT.md @@ -853,7 +853,11 @@ iteration; prefills, nudges and continuations are steps.

Only an answer is handed back. Thought alone, a sentinel, or words beside a tool call still in the making fail as before, and retry_after_output keeps the retry of the whole call. The sub-agent backend streams through the same call and does not pass the flag, so its dropped streams still fail the run. The loop's _llm_call_stream opts in, so the network-cut continuation can pick the partial up. The helpers live outside stream_llm_call, which is at the C901 ceiling. Tests that pinned "a stream that died after output fails the turn" now pin the hand-back. The spent-verdict tests moved to a rendered thought, the case where that verdict still applies. --- raven/agent/loop/turn_path.py | 4 + raven/providers/streaming.py | 187 ++++++++++++++--- tests/test_agent_loop_broken_turn.py | 22 +- tests/test_agent_loop_llm_error_patience.py | 43 ++-- tests/test_agent_loop_stream.py | 100 ++++++--- tests/test_transport_failure_paths.py | 213 +++++++++++++++++++- 6 files changed, 481 insertions(+), 88 deletions(-) diff --git a/raven/agent/loop/turn_path.py b/raven/agent/loop/turn_path.py index db39eb975..2b221e6de 100644 --- a/raven/agent/loop/turn_path.py +++ b/raven/agent/loop/turn_path.py @@ -657,6 +657,10 @@ async def _llm_call_stream( max_reconnects=self._MAX_STREAM_RECONNECTS, retry_delays=tuple(limits.llm_error_retry_delays), retry_after_output=bool(limits.llm_retry_after_output), + # The loop is the caller that can ask the model to go on from a cut + # answer (``ReplyKind.NETWORK_CUT``).

The loop asks the model to go on from the partial, and the continuation streams into the step the cut call opened: _run_agent_loop skips the episode boundary once after a network-cut continuation, so the reader sees one answer and not two steps, and the cancel-rescue buffer keeps the earlier words. The output-limit continuation and the prefill still open a step of their own. The rescue no longer takes a recovery row for committed text. The partial of a cut answer sits in the loop's list as such a row, which is never persisted; a continuation that died before saying anything left the reader's words equal to that row, so nothing was filed and the answer was gone on reload, where main filed it.

Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dizhan Xue Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2026 03:46:11 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 030/139] feat(agent): send nothing for a silent turn, but let its hooks have their say A turn the model ends on a silence marker returns no reply, skips the personalizer, and tells the spine it was silent, with a notice for a live surface. The after_send chain still runs with no outbound text, and text a hook composes there is delivered as the reply. A response modifier is not asked, so a nudge it would pop stays queued for the next reply. The hook surface version goes to 4, and the ChatDelta note on where a finish reason rides now admits a streamed refusal. --- raven/agent/hook/adapters.py | 9 +- raven/agent/loop/turn_path.py | 47 ++++-- raven/contracts/llm_provider.py | 6 +- raven/contracts/loop_hooks.py | 8 +- tests/test_agent_hook_adapters.py | 18 ++- tests/test_agent_hook_contract.py | 11 ++ tests/test_agent_loop_empty_recovery.py | 192 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ tests/test_agent_loop_run_emit.py | 125 +++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 397 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-) diff --git a/raven/agent/hook/adapters.py b/raven/agent/hook/adapters.py index 3bf1f4eee..ae8252cfc 100644 --- a/raven/agent/hook/adapters.py +++ b/raven/agent/hook/adapters.py @@ -126,7 +126,10 @@ class ResponseModifierAdapter(AgentHook): The modifier is called even when ``outbound_content`` is empty (matching the legacy code path), since callers may want to inject - content into an empty reply. + content into an empty reply.

The notice already drew as a quiet row, but the turn then landed as if it had an answer: a reply that had begun streaming, or the last thing said on the way, was promoted into the answer block, and a reload drew the marker itself as the reply. The notice now marks the runtime silent and takes back the open step's streamed reply, and finishTurn promotes nothing for a silent turn. A silent row in a stored transcript is drawn as the same quiet line, keeping the thought it carries, and it counts as the turn's last word so that what the model said before it stays narration under the fold, as it does live. The offline library gains a scheduled run that ended silent, which also satisfies the fixture gate for the new optional field, and its reminders now carry the paragraph that teaches the marker. The comment on the cron reminder reader said four parts where the runtime writes five. --- .../transcript/TranscriptPage.test.tsx | 157 ++++++++++++++++++ ui-web/src/features/transcript/mount.tsx | 4 +- ui-web/src/features/transcript/store.ts | 64 ++++++- ui-web/src/features/transcript/types.ts | 8 + ui-web/src/rpc/fixtures/sessions.ts | 11 +- .../src/state/session/pipeline.events.test.ts | 64 ++++++- ui-web/src/state/session/runtime.ts | 9 +- ui-web/src/state/session/stages.ts | 11 +- 8 files changed, 311 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) diff --git a/ui-web/src/features/transcript/TranscriptPage.test.tsx b/ui-web/src/features/transcript/TranscriptPage.test.tsx index 0e7719fab..c2bae4ca9 100644 --- a/ui-web/src/features/transcript/TranscriptPage.test.tsx +++ b/ui-web/src/features/transcript/TranscriptPage.test.tsx @@ -715,6 +715,9 @@ describe('transcript island, history', () => { '', 'When you reply, mention when the reminder was originally set ' + '(e.g. "the reminder you set at 17:05 ...") so the user remembers the context.', + '', + 'SILENT: If there is genuinely nothing new to report, respond with exactly "[SILENT]" (nothing else) ' + + 'to suppress delivery.', ].join('\n') const bubble = (): HTMLElement => $('.msg.me[data-auto]') as HTMLElement @@ -733,6 +736,9 @@ describe('transcript island, history', () => { expect(said).not.toContain('Scheduled instruction:') expect(said).not.toContain('[Scheduled Task]') expect(said).not.toContain('When you reply') + /* The paragraph after the closing line, which teaches the model its + silence marker and is as much the prompt as the line above it. */ + expect(said).not.toContain('SILENT') }) /* Every other origin has a shape of its own that nothing here reads, so @@ -2815,6 +2821,157 @@ describe('transcript island, streaming', () => { }) }) +/* A turn the model ended on its silence marker has no answer.

The hand-back of a stream that really died now finishes as stream_cut, and only that finish is continued; a clean close or a body without a finish is delivered as it stands.

The no_output flag was documented as the model giving nothing back on every attempt. It is set on a last reply with no text, no tool call and nothing else to show once recovery is spent, or on any last reply without text with recovery off, and it says nothing of the attempts before. Only the bracketed [SILENT] opens a reply as a marker; decide() said a fallback model repeats nothing, yet a cut answer is still continued and a post-tool empty still nudged there; the kept failure text of an exhausted turn is not read where a tool has answered, since such a turn never gets there. Two test docstrings cited a ruling and now state the principle: the after_send chain still runs on a silent turn, and text a hook composes there is the reply. A table comment that said the rest ends as it used to now says what happens. --- CONTEXT.md | 22 +++++++++++++--------- raven/agent/loop/_shared.py | 9 ++++++--- raven/agent/loop/recovery.py | 5 +++-- raven/agent/loop/turn_path.py | 6 +++--- raven/spine/events.py | 3 ++- raven/spine/silence.py | 4 ++-- raven/spine/turn.py | 3 ++- tests/test_agent_loop_empty_recovery.py | 4 ++-- tests/test_agent_loop_run_emit.py | 5 +++-- 9 files changed, 36 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) diff --git a/CONTEXT.md b/CONTEXT.md index 8f2797321..43b78d828 100644 --- a/CONTEXT.md +++ b/CONTEXT.md @@ -843,8 +843,9 @@ is not a Silent Turn -- its answer reached the reader, and `TurnOutcome.silent` unasked, so a nudge it would pop stays queued for the next reply, and the personalizer learns nothing; text a hook composes there is delivered as the reply, and the turn is then not silent.

HEARTBEAT is a proactive origin, so the turn also took the loose silence rule and the whole-call hold, although the peer is waiting on the text: a reply that was, opened with or closed on a marker came back as an empty string, the report lost and indistinguishable from an empty reply. run_turn takes reply_awaited, threaded through the turn path to the agent loop. A turn whose caller waits on its text takes no part in the silence protocol: no stream is held back for a marker, neither the answer nor the exhaustion wrap-up is read as silence, and the text comes back as the model wrote it. The one-shot A2A turn passes it; no Origin member is added. The PROACTIVE_ORIGINS comment no longer says nobody waits on those turns, and the A2A docstring names what the origin brings besides lane pooling. --- raven/a2a/runtime.py | 10 +++++--- raven/agent/loop/main.py | 2 ++ raven/agent/loop/recovery.py | 4 +++- raven/agent/loop/turn_path.py | 31 +++++++++++++++++++++---- raven/spine/turn.py | 7 +++--- tests/test_a2a_runtime.py | 22 ++++++++++++++++++ tests/test_agent_loop_empty_recovery.py | 26 +++++++++++++++++++++ 7 files changed, 90 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/raven/a2a/runtime.py b/raven/a2a/runtime.py index fadbfaf9b..2711992f3 100644 --- a/raven/a2a/runtime.py +++ b/raven/a2a/runtime.py @@ -297,8 +297,12 @@ async def _run_one_shot_turn( carries a `SentinelExtras` payload this call has none of) -- it is a proactive, system-origin turn a peer agent asked for, which is exactly what `HEARTBEAT` already means elsewhere (`raven/cli/gateway_commands.py`'s - `on_heartbeat_execute`). `HEARTBEAT`'s only special case is scheduler lane - pooling, irrelevant here since this path never reaches the Scheduler. + `on_heartbeat_execute`).

The live loop reads MessageTool.sent_in_turn, which is set only by a send that went out to the turn's own chat. The stored side counted any message call in the turn, so a turn whose call failed, or named another chat, and then ended on the marker was a Silent Turn live while a reload, the session list and an ACP replay kept it as an answered one. The live verdict is now filed on the row that closes the turn, stamped privately and renamed replied_via_tool on save the way the silence flag is. turn_shape reads that flag, and the session list and the ACP replay read it there instead of scanning for a call. The flag has one name in both shapes a transcript comes in, so session.resume carries it to the wire: TranscriptMessage gains it, and the two TypeScript mirrors of the schema are regenerated. --- raven/acp/replay.py | 13 +++-- raven/agent/loop/_shared.py | 18 +++++++ raven/agent/loop/turn_path.py | 8 +++ raven/rpc/methods/session.py | 3 ++ raven/rpc/models.py | 9 ++++ raven/session/manager.py | 24 ++++----- raven/session/turn_shape.py | 58 ++++++--------------- rpc-schema/openrpc.json | 4 ++ tests/test_acp_replay.py | 24 ++++++++- tests/test_agent_loop_empty_recovery.py | 42 +++++++++++++++ tests/test_rpc_contract_shapes.py | 21 ++++++++ tests/test_rpc_session.py | 8 +-- tests/test_session_manager.py | 23 ++++++++- tests/test_session_turn_shape.py | 68 +++++++++++-------------- ui-tui/src/rpc/generated.ts | 4 ++ ui-web/src/rpc/generated.ts | 4 ++ 16 files changed, 224 insertions(+), 107 deletions(-) diff --git a/raven/acp/replay.py b/raven/acp/replay.py index ceb8e4d35..ee4b10c6e 100644 --- a/raven/acp/replay.py +++ b/raven/acp/replay.py @@ -39,7 +39,7 @@ from raven.acp.tool_kinds import locations, title_for, tool_kind from raven.acp.updates import notice_text, turn_failure_text from raven.security import redact -from raven.session.turn_shape import turn_called_message_tool +from raven.session.turn_shape import replied_via_message_tool # A replayed transcript is bounded by what a client can draw, not by what is # stored: a session with two thousand messages would otherwise emit two thousand @@ -96,11 +96,10 @@ def _without_silent_runtime_turns(entries: list[dict[str, Any]]) -> list[dict[st session list reads a transcript with (``SessionManager._scan_file``): only a user row carrying ``origin`` opens a turn that can be taken back, so a person's own message stays when the model answers it with silence.

A turn that runs out of iterations or time asks for a wrap-up, which opens no episode and so streams into the step the last model call left open. When that wrap-up was a marker, the notice erased the narration the last call said before its tools: text the reader had watched stream, which a reload of the same rows still draws. The take-back now drops only the prose after the step's last tool call, or all of it in a step that made none. That prose can only come from a later call, the wrap-up. Something is still taken back because the server does stream marker text in one case. The hold on the stream keeps a plain marker back on a person's turn and holds the whole call on a proactive one, so usually nothing streamed. But a model that inlines its thinking in the reply (...[SILENT]) passes the hold at its first character, and only the stripped reply is read as a marker. Dropping nothing would leave that marker on screen. The take-back is renamed dropReply to say what it now drops. --- .../transcript/TranscriptPage.test.tsx | 2 +- .../src/features/transcript/TurnNav.test.tsx | 2 +- ui-web/src/features/transcript/store.ts | 13 +- ui-web/src/features/transcript/types.ts | 10 +- .../src/state/session/pipeline.events.test.ts | 187 +++++++++++++++++- ui-web/src/state/session/stages.ts | 6 +- 6 files changed, 204 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/ui-web/src/features/transcript/TranscriptPage.test.tsx b/ui-web/src/features/transcript/TranscriptPage.test.tsx index 0cf9216d7..7fc456d74 100644 --- a/ui-web/src/features/transcript/TranscriptPage.test.tsx +++ b/ui-web/src/features/transcript/TranscriptPage.test.tsx @@ -2836,7 +2836,7 @@ describe('transcript island, a turn the model chose not to answer', () => { finishTurn is handed none -- only the list of steps the turn ran. */ const hush = (open: ReturnType | null): void => { act(() => { - if (open) { open.seal(); open.dropSay() } + if (open) { open.seal(); open.dropReply() } mount.note(LABEL, '', { quiet: true }) }) } diff --git a/ui-web/src/features/transcript/TurnNav.test.tsx b/ui-web/src/features/transcript/TurnNav.test.tsx index 5f688b020..6dc755eb0 100644 --- a/ui-web/src/features/transcript/TurnNav.test.tsx +++ b/ui-web/src/features/transcript/TurnNav.test.tsx @@ -302,7 +302,7 @@ describe('the turn nav', () => { const st = mount.step() st.sayDelta('Checking the logs.') st.seal() - st.dropSay() + st.dropReply() mount.note('Raven chose not to reply.', '', { quiet: true }) mount.finishTurn(null, [st], '3s', true) mount.ask('and now?') diff --git a/ui-web/src/features/transcript/store.ts b/ui-web/src/features/transcript/store.ts index 8adaba510..58bd8087d 100644 --- a/ui-web/src/features/transcript/store.ts +++ b/ui-web/src/features/transcript/store.ts @@ -1134,6 +1134,12 @@ export function newStep(lane: Lane): StepHandle { bump(lane, seg) } + /* Where the prose of the step's latest model call starts.

It was resent three times with backoff, every time as a stream that dropped it again, then switched to the fallbacks and failed in empty-reply words. The same call made without streaming reads the refusal, and a gateway whose streams come back empty while its plain calls work is rescued by the same move. On a streamed turn, the first resend of a plain empty reply, the one decide answers RETRY to, now asks the same model without streaming. It is one of the empty_content_max_retries resends, under the same backoff and notice; later resends stream again, and an empty reply right after tools is resent as it was. The call hands the provider no fallback chain, so a model switch stays the loop's. What comes back is read as any reply: a refusal goes to its one fallback switch or fails with the model's explanation, tool calls run, an empty reply goes on down the ladder. What a stream would have shown is shown once the reply is in, through the same sinks: the thought through the reasoning sink, then the words through the gates a streamed delta passes, so a marker is still held and dropped, a reply reaches the reader once, and the resend opens the step a streamed one would. deterministic_empty is unchanged in meaning: it stops only on a streak of zero-output replies of one model and finish, so mixing a streamed and an unstreamed attempt can only fail open.
