Three owner rulings from the gradient-descent session
(chat_muhskq6p_e8c3600b — 7 failed quiz calls, answers leaked in
option descriptions, planning divider floating at the transcript top):
1. RETRYING LINES (general): any tool call that errors back to the
agent (validation failure, malformed args — the retry loop) renders
one quiet "Retrying…" SystemLine instead of silence. Question tools
previously rendered null, so a flailing quiz loop read as a stall.
Aborts are terminal ("Operation aborted") and stay silent. Verified
live: exactly 7 lines render at the 7 failure sites of the session.
2. QUIZ OPTION DESCRIPTIONS: NUKED. The model used them to telegraph
correctness in every quiz of the session ("that moves uphill — it
climbs f instead of descending it") — answerable by elimination.
The field is gone from BOTH quiz schemas (probe + teach); ask keeps
it (ungraded — nothing to leak). The dock additionally suppresses
descriptions for quiz kind, so pre-fix records stop leaking too.
Verified live: the session's pending quiz renders bare labels.
Plus the diagnosed failure-mode fixes: GLM sometimes emits `options`
as a JSON-encoded string (6 of 7 failures). prepareArguments hooks
on all three question tools coerce it BEFORE pi's validation (the
call lands instead of bouncing); the client coerces again in
normalizeOptions (pi persists raw call args). Schema descriptions
hardened ("REQUIRED ... never a JSON-encoded string").
3. DIVIDERS AT THE MARKERS: the probe-handoff SystemLine
("Preparing your plan…") IS NOW the Planning divider; the accepted
verdict IS NOW the Teaching divider ("✓ Plan accepted" line gone) —
one signal per seam, not two. The fold-based divider block is
DELETED: Wave D grouping merged the whole probe into one giant
assistant group, so the inclusive-fold comparison floated the
divider to the transcript top (reproduced against the real record:
6 view messages, phase flipped at the giant group). The markers
render in the right spot by record construction. A DECLINED verdict
is not a seam — it keeps the "↻ Plan revision requested" line.
Verified live: plan divider after the probe concluded, teach
divider after the plan presentation, nothing at the top.
Tests: 1004/1004 — string-coercion pins (normalizeOptions + the
prepareArguments hooks on all three tools, identity fast path),
quiz-schema-has-no-description pin (ask keeps it).

/**
|
|
* The agent-split tool composition (docs/probe-teach-split.md §1): the
|
|
* PROBER and the TEACHER are different agents with different tool sets.
|
|
* The question tools share a NAME but are genuinely DIFFERENT tools —
|
|
* the prober's quiz has NO nodeId field at all (its declaration is built
|
|
* from quizInputBase; the model's schema never mentions nodeId), the
|
|
* teacher's carries the validated position field.
|
|
*
|
|
* - Question tools (quiz / ask_user_question): CLIENT-ANSWERED. Their
|
|
* execute validates the authoring refinements (the cross-field rules no
|
|
* schema carries — quizInputProblems / askOptionProblems; a failure
|
|
* throws ToolInputError, which pi's loop converts to an error tool
|
|
* result the model retries on), then returns the synthetic
|
|
* "question posed" placeholder (questionResult: terminate: true — the
|
|
* turn ends; the call streams to the browser in `input-available`
|
|
* state; the learner answers in the dock; the client grades and sends
|
|
* the verdict with addToolOutput). Input schemas live in
|
|
* core/question-core. Question tools opt into SEQUENTIAL execution so
|
|
* parallel calls resolve in the model's call order (the dock's subject
|
|
* can never flip mid-turn).
|
|
* - probe_done (src/agent/tools/probe.ts): SERVER-SIDE seam tool.
|
|
* - planTools (src/agent/tools/plan.ts): SERVER-SIDE — author-once
|
|
* plan_init. Teacher only.
|
|
* - jobTools (src/agent/tools/jobs.ts): SERVER-EXECUTED dispatch. Teacher
|
|
* only.
