Fourth independent review: tool-result replay and output bound¶
The terminal acceptance reviewer rejected the current candidate after running the requested tests and inspecting the production path. Continue the same self-update and correct these exact defects without expanding scope:
- Status is currently appended to
source_messages[-1]/api_messages[-1]without requiring a user message. After a tool call the newest message is a tool result, but production replay restoresapi_contentsidecars only for user and assistant messages. A sidecar attached to the tool result therefore disappears on the next request, breaking the claimed byte-identical replay. Make attachment and replay behavior consistent with the real persisted message contract. Preserve role ordering and keep clean transcript content unchanged. build_model_status_context()converts the TODOitem_idto a string without truncating or otherwise bounding it. Enforce a deterministic total output bound, including adversarially long identifiers and descriptions.- Add behavior-contract tests that would have caught both defects: a
successive-request sequence whose newest message is a tool result, and an
oversized TODO identifier. Exercise the same production helpers/type checks
used by
conversation_loop.py.
Run the focused tests, the existing replay/cache regression set, compilation,
and git diff --check. Update BOOK_SELF_EVOLUTION_REPORT.md with this fourth
review round and exact results. Do not edit the book, commit, push, or claim
downstream task improvement.
