Stacked on #281. #248 has merged, and this branch takes #281 in at its pushed head, 229f8edb, through two merges, 137c751d and 8bb5b9ed. Please review only what this adds to #281, as git diff 229f8edb 8bb5b9ed shows it: 5cdd08b, the test for #281's writeBinary resolution, and six commits, e711ecf, da916dc, 032dd39, be442c5, 1f2c9cc and a5ace24, plus the three test calls the second merge fits to this branch's storeResults. The first four are 0e1641b, 2308f66, f085793 and 7c0e7ec, restacked onto both PRs' heads. The fifth fits them to #281's final rules, and the sixth adds the kept fields to #281's operator guide. Merge after #281.

Closes #277, with #281.

Problem

#281 made a withheld tool result's stub say where its original is. In #277's incident, the withheld result was a materialize receipt listing a clobbered LOG.md. With #281 alone, the agent can find that receipt, but only by going to read the file. On #277, the maintainers asked for more, for the workspace's write-class tools:

Shape (2) we'd scope to the workspace's write-class tools only (materialize, sync, delete): their file-lists are evidence in the chain-of-custody sense, rarely the refusal's cause, and keeping them inline is what would have shown LOG.md at the moment it mattered. Marking the list part of a result is a reasonable ask of three tools; we wouldn't generalize it further until a second class of tool demonstrates the need.

Changes

The mark: ToolResult.keepWhenWithheld?: string[]. It names fields of data that say what the tool acted on, in the order they're kept. Only data's own fields can be kept, and a failed result (success false) keeps nothing: its stored text is the error.

The three tools mark theirs:

  • materialize: ['deleted', 'materialized'], what disk lost, then what it was written. Deletions come first, so a long written list cut at the cap can't hide one. What it left and why (workspaceDeletionsLeftOnDisk, note, skipped) stays in the result as stored. So a path that isn't in the kept lists wasn't written or deleted, unless the kept text was cut, which its note says.
  • sync: ['rootsAccepted', 'results']. A root it accepted is short and telling, so it comes first, where a long results list can't cut it away. Per mount, that's what the workspace took from disk (synced), gave up (discarded) or holds as a conflict, and any root it accepted. A conflict that predates the sync is listed too, since it's the state sync leaves the path in. A stub showing synced without it would read as the whole story. skipped, incomplete and the totals stay in the full result, and so will fix(workspace): sync says what it passed over (#276) #278's passedOver and ignored.
  • delete: ['path', 'deleted'], its whole receipt.

No other tool marks anything.

ToolResultGuard:

  • keptWhenWithheld(result, maxChars) picks the marked fields present, in marked order, and serializes them as a stored result is (toolResultDataToHistoryString). Past the cap it cuts them, never inside a surrogate pair, with a note of its own: [cut at the inline cap: N of these fields' M characters; the whole result is where this note says]. The history cut's "original was M chars" would have read as the whole result's size.

  • storeResults takes the cap the caller stored the batch under, as inlineCap, a required parameter. That's the framework's resolved cap at both of its sites, and the house default on the direct API, which is what buildToolResultMessages truncates at. It computes each result's kept text then, from the result's entry in originals, matched by tool use id, and keyed by index, as fix(guard): a withheld tool result says where its original is (#277) #281's stubs and files are.

  • The annotation appends it after the place:

    Tool result withheld by the guard. The tool has already executed. Its result is in workspace file work/tool-results/2026-10-10-withheld-6f1c2b9e1d2c-0-call_x.txt. Kept from its result: {"materialized":[{"mount":"work","path":"LOG.md"}]}

    The kept fields come last, so a cut never hides where the original is. The label says only what's true of any kept field, and the JSON's own keys say which list is which. No refusal or category enters the context, as feat(guard): add persistent tool result guard with Chronicle audit #159 drew it.

  • Everything else is fix(guard): a withheld tool result says where its original is (#277) #281's: which settlements are annotated, the files, the branch rules and the timing.

Where the rule has to hold

  • Every withheld settlement. The kept fields are appended in fix(guard): a withheld tool result says where its original is (#277) #281's annotation, which every withheld settlement runs. The tests here withhold by refusal, on the framework's path and on the direct API.
  • Every way a batch is stored. Each of the three passes the cap it stored the batch under:
    • the framework's tool loop: tested;
    • the direct API: tested;
    • the framework's completed-stream path, for a stream that completed while tools were still pending: untested. It settles its batch at once, and withholds it only when the audit sync failed. It had no test before this either.
  • The stored text and the wire. toMembraneToolResult, buildStoredToolResultContent and buildToolResultMessages read only data, error and isError, so the mark reaches neither. Accepted results are unchanged.
  • Out of scope, as the maintainers asked: every other tool. That includes a materialize called from inside a code_execution script. Its result goes to the script, and if the script's own result is withheld, nothing is kept, because code_execution marks nothing.

The review round, 7c0e7ec

The house ran its review workflow on 6d781ff (sw-af283, 13 issues).

  • A failed result keeps nothing, whatever isError says, since a failure is success: false.
  • Kept fields cut at the cap carry their own note, and are never cut inside a surrogate pair.
  • sync marks a root it accepted first.
  • storeResults' cap is required, so a call site can't drop it.
  • The texts:
    • the mark's doc says what a kept field is;
    • the changelog says a later list can be cut away entirely, that a stub a branch change leaves unedited stays the bare notice, and that a failed delete keeps nothing.

Its tests:

  • the failed and no-data results keep nothing;
  • the cut's note, and a cap falling inside an emoji, where a plain slice fails;
  • a withheld materialize that deletes keeps its deletion;
  • sync's marks put rootsAccepted first.

Each change, removed on its own, fails its test. Nell-1783 reviewed the restack and the round, and found the surrogate split, which the round's first form had.

Suite at a16f1c6, the round before that fix and the removal of its in-code review labels: 1574/1574 across 130 files on Node 20.20.2. Node 24.21.0 counted 1571, because --test-force-exit cut history-module-realstore to 27 of 28 and mcpl-tool-lifecycle to 29 of 31; alone and unforced they pass 28/28 and 31/31. At 7c0e7ec, tool-result-guard passes 70/70.

The restack onto #281's final head, 1f2c9cc

#281's later rounds changed two things this PR builds on. A branch change now marks the results it stops as skipped, and if the store is back on the batch's branch by the stub's edit, their stubs name the audit record. And one of #281's new tests calls storeResults with three arguments.

The restack onto #281's merge of main and its final round, 137c751d and 8bb5b9ed

#281 has since merged main (dbe701b5, at 8aff46c6) and taken a final review round (5eb7d196 to 229f8edb). This branch takes both, in two merges, and adds no commit of its own.

  • 137c751d merges 8aff46c6. It merged without conflicts: this branch already had writeBinary's branch check inside the mount's turn, the resolution fix(guard): a withheld tool result says where its original is (#277) #281's merge took.
  • 8bb5b9ed merges 229f8edb. The source merged cleanly. The one conflict was the end of test/tool-result-guard.test.ts, where both branches had appended tests, and both sides' tests are kept. Three of fix(guard): a withheld tool result says where its original is (#277) #281's new tests call storeResults with three arguments; this branch's storeResults also takes the message metadata and the inline cap, so they pass undefined for both, as this branch's own tests do.
  • git show --remerge-diff 137c751d and git show --remerge-diff 8bb5b9ed show each resolution alone.
  • Checks at 8bb5b9ed, which contains main at dbe701b5: each test file ran in its own node --test --test-force-exit process on a Linux VPS, after a clean typecheck and build. Node 20.20.2 and Node 24.21.0 each passed 1687/1687 across 131 files, with --test-force-exit cutting no file short. Run unforced on Node 24, twelve files pass whole, among them tool-result-guard 112/112, save-recent-image 25/25, workspace-three-way 159/159 and workspace-read-image 14/14.

Tests

test/tool-result-guard.test.ts has 81 tests, against the base's 73. Eight are new: the review round's, the restack's, and these six:

  • The stub's text with kept fields, for each place the original can be. It's unchanged without them.
  • keptWhenWithheld:
    • marked order;
    • a field the result lacks is left out;
    • an empty list is kept;
    • nothing is kept for no marks, empty marks, absent fields, non-object data, array data, or an error result that carries data;
    • the cut at a cap.
  • A two-result batch in a workspace. The marked result keeps only its marked field, the unmarked one keeps nothing, and the file holds the whole original. The refusal retry carries both stubs.
  • No writable workspace, with a 1000-character inline cap: the audit-record stub keeps the fields, cut exactly at the cap.
  • The direct API: a list over the house default is cut there.
  • The real tools through the guard:
    • a withheld materialize keeps {"materialized":[{"mount":"work","path":"LOG.md"}]};
    • a sync keeps the file it took from disk;
    • a delete keeps {"path":"work/LOG.md","deleted":true}.

Red-first: with the annotation not appending the kept fields, the four behavioural tests fail. The other two pin the new functions' text. They fail on the base only because those functions don't exist there.

Removals, run on tool-result-guard (Node 24.19.0, at 6d781ff). Each fails the tests aimed at it:

  • the annotation passing the kept fields: 4 tests fail;
  • the framework's tool-loop site passing its cap: 1;
  • the direct API passing its cap: 1;
  • marked order (with data's order instead): 1;
  • the error check: 1;
  • each tool's mark, removed one at a time: 1 each;
  • the kept fields after the place sentence (with them before it): 5.

Full suite, one node --test process per file, run at 00b5a69, whose tree is 6d781ff's (only the first commit's message differs):

  • At 00b5a69: 1539/1539 across 130 files on Node 20.20.2. On Node 24.21.0 the per-file run reported 1526, because --test-force-exit cut three files: history-module-realstore (24 of 28), mcpl-tool-lifecycle-emitter (23 of 26) and mcpl-tool-lifecycle (25 of 31). Run alone and unforced, each passes in full, which makes Node 24 1539 too.
  • The base (9c97e69): 1533 on Node 20.20.2. On Node 24.21.0 the per-file run reported 1523, because history-module was cut to 39 of its 49. Run alone and unforced, it passes 49/49, which makes 1533.
  • Per file on Node 20, base and head differ only in tool-result-guard: 54 tests, then 60.

Trial merges with the open pull requests that touch these files, at their heads on October 10 at 21:15Z, before #248 merged and before this restack (the heads and conflicts below are as they were then):

What callers will notice

  • The stub's text, for a withheld materialize, sync or delete: fix(guard): a withheld tool result says where its original is (#277) #281's stub, followed by Kept from its result: {…}. Other tools' stubs are as fix(guard): a withheld tool result says where its original is (#277) #281 leaves them.
  • ToolResult.keepWhenWithheld, a new optional field. A module that sets it on another tool's results gets those fields kept too. Its doc asks that they list the files the tool acted on.
  • Whole ToolResults carry the field wherever they're serialized, for these three tools: the guard's staged audit record, the tool-result process event, and the tool:result_dropped trace.
  • ToolResultGuard.storeResults takes two more required arguments: metadata, which was optional, and the inline cap, either of which can be undefined. Without a cap, kept fields aren't cut.

A kept list that draws the refusal again

The maintainers judged a write's file list rarely the refusal's cause. If one is the cause, the guard's retry carries it and is refused again. That refusal ends the turn as a terminal guard refusal does today: it's surfaced as a reaction, the response is cut back to its tool results, and no request is queued, so nothing loops. autoRewind doesn't run on it, since the refusal is the guard's (rh?.autoRewind && !guardRefusal). The stub stays in context, so a later activation can be refused for the same reason. That one is an ordinary refusal: with autoRewind, rewind sheds turns from the newest, within maxRewinds, and can reach the stub's. An operator's /unstick can shed it too, including on the retry's own refusal. Once the stub is shed, the agent has lost its pointer: the file stays in tool-results/, but nothing in context names it. I chose not to add a second recovery that strips the kept fields. It would be another refusal-driven path to test and carry, for a case the maintainers judged rare.

  • A live provider's refusal. All tests use scripted membranes.
  • The completed-stream storage path, as above.

fix(guard): a withheld tool result says where its original is (anima-…
675546a 
…research#277)

agent-framework anima-research#277 (slimepriestess): a materialize receipt that listed a
clobbered LOG.md was withheld by the tool-result guard after the model's
response to it drew a refusal, and the agent was left with only "Tool
result withheld by the guard. The tool has already executed.": the record
of what the tool did was unreachable. The guard keeps every original in its
Chronicle audit slot, but the agent can't read that, and the notice didn't
say where anything was.

The maintainers chose (room-534, #67477 then #67560):
- spill and name: each withheld original goes where the inline cap's spill
  already puts oversized output, and the stub names the file; with no
  writable mount, the stub says the original is in the guard's audit record
  for an operator;
- (a) for the stub's wording: anima-research#159's neutral notice stays exactly as it is,
  followed only by the place. No refusal and no category enter the context
  (anima-research#159 keeps those in operational logs and pins it with a test), so
  reading the original back is the agent's informed choice;
- every withheld settlement gets it, not only a refusal: an aborted stream,
  a batch never submitted, and one whose audit sync failed.

How:
- ToolResultGuard.settle() starts an annotation for every withheld batch.
  It writes each stored tool_result (exactly what acceptance would have
  admitted) through its host's spiller to
  `<mount>/tool-results/<date>-withheld-<toolUseId>.txt`, then edits the
  placeholder message so each notice is followed by the place
  (withheldResultNotice): the file; or a failed write and the audit record;
  or the audit record alone. A batch whose audit sync failed says that
  saving the record had failed when the stub was written. "withheld" comes
  before the id so the label can never collide with the inline spill's
  `<date>-<id>` when an id is long enough for the 80-character cut.
- It edits only its own unedited placeholder on its branch, as the
  acceptance retry does: an operator's edit, removal or rollback stands,
  and the audit record says `historyUpdate: 'superseded'`. Each annotation
  appends an `annotated` audit record with each result's path or error.
- The compression hold passes from the settlement to the annotation, so no
  summary is made of a stub that doesn't yet say where its original went.
  The chain never rejects: a failure is logged and the hold is released.
- whenAnnotated(): Agent.startStream and runInferenceWithInjections await it
  after flushUnrecorded, so no request (the refusal retry included) is
  compiled with a stub still being written. The direct API's in-place
  refusal retry awaits it and carries the stored stubs.
- stop() waits for every annotation still running before modules stop, so
  an aborted batch's file is written while the workspace is up and its stub
  is saved before close. The guard registers each annotation with its host
  (WithheldHost.track) and the framework keeps the set, because an
  ephemeral run or a closed fork leaves the agent map while an annotation
  its aborted batch started can still be running (Petra-1012's review).
- The framework's writeToolResultFile() is now the one writer for both the
  inline cap's spill and withheld originals (first writable mount,
  tool-results/, a failed write traced as tool:spill_failed and logged).
  spillOrTruncate keeps its exact texts. adoptToolResultGuard() (was
  restoreToolResultGuardSetting) gives each new agent's guard its persisted
  setting and its host (that writer, and the tracking), at all four
  construction sites.

Tests (tool-result-guard, 47; silent-heartbeat-rows updated):
- with a workspace: the stub names `work/tool-results/<date>-withheld-one.txt`,
  the file holds exactly the staged stored text, the refusal retry already
  carries the stub, no refusal/category appears, and the audit's last record
  is `annotated` with the path;
- a mount that refuses the write (maxFileSize 4): the stub says the write
  failed and the original is kept only in the audit record;
- a slow spiller: the refusal retry is still compiled with the annotated stub;
- an operator's edit made while the spill is pending stands (superseded), and
  the hold is held until the annotation ends;
- stop with an aborted batch's annotation in flight: after a restart the stub
  is annotated, so it was saved before close;
- stop with an annotation in flight from an ephemeral run already disposed:
  after a restart the audit holds its `annotated` record;
- the four stub texts, as literals;
- the direct API: after an aborted batch with a slow spiller, the next
  request carries the annotated stub, and the in-place refusal retry does too.
- Existing assertions that a withheld result's content is exactly the notice
  now expect the audit-record stub (no workspace in those harnesses), or its
  failed-save form for the two failed-sync tests; audit sequences gain the
  trailing `annotated`; the two hold tests await whenAnnotated(), and the
  withhold one first asserts the hold is still held.
- Removals, each failing its tests: settle never annotating (18 fail),
  releasing the hold at settle, either compile-path await, stop's await,
  stop waiting only for agents still in the map, the guard never tracking
  an annotation, overwriting an operator's edit, the spiller not wired, the
  direct retry's await, and the stub ignoring a failed save.

fix(guard): each withheld original gets its own file; a branch change…
085a5b9 
… stops the writes; the direct retry is compiled (anima-research#277)

Answers Greptile's three findings on anima-research#281 (review of 675546a).

1. Saved originals could overwrite each other. The guard labelled each file
   `<date>-withheld-<toolUseId>`, and the writer keeps 80 characters of a
   label with unsafe characters replaced, so two results whose ids agree in
   their first 60 safe characters, or a tool use id seen again the same day,
   shared one file: an older stub then named a newer result's original. The
   label is now `<date>-withheld-<batch>-<index>-<toolUseId>`: 12 hex digits
   (48 random bits) of the batch's id and the result's index in the batch,
   both ahead of anything the writer cuts or substitutes. Results of one batch
   never share a file; results of two batches share one only if those 48 bits
   agree. The stubs and the files are matched by index rather than by tool use
   id. The inline cap's own `<date>-<callId>` naming, documented as
   deterministic and overwritten on collision, is unchanged.

2. A rollback could receive late files. The annotation checked the branch only
   before editing the stub, after all its writes, and rollbackToMessage's gate
   doesn't wait for annotations (nor do undo, redo or the API's branch switch).
   A batch aborted with several results could have its later files written
   into the new branch's workspace while its stub edit was skipped. The
   annotation now checks the branch before each write and writes no more once
   the store has left the batch's branch. The check holds where the file
   lands because the framework's writer sets the workspace tree entry before
   it first yields (WorkspaceModule.writeBinary: treeSet, then
   autoMaterialize); WithheldSpiller's doc states that contract. The
   `annotated` audit record marks each result not written as
   `{ toolUseId, skipped: 'branch_changed' }`, beside `historyUpdate:
   'superseded'`.

3. The direct API's refusal retry could exceed the budget. It patched the
   stubs into the already-compiled request, whose budget reserved only the
   originals' size over the bare notice; a stub longer than its original (the
   audit-record stub is ~100 characters longer than the notice) carried the
   request past the budget. runInferenceWithInjections now builds its request
   with an `assemble()` closure, and doInference calls it again for the retry
   once the stubs are written: a fresh compile against the budget without the
   batch's reservation, as the framework's retry (startAgentStream) already
   is. The patching code and its notice import are gone.

Tests (test/tool-result-guard.test.ts, 51, 4 new):
- a tool use id seen again in a second batch gets its own file, and each stub
  reads back its own original (fails on 675546a: both stubs name
  2026-10-10-withheld-one.txt);
- two ids agreeing in their first 75 characters in one batch get a file each
  (fails on 675546a: both cut to the same name);
- a rollbackToMessage while an aborted two-result batch is held after its
  first write: no second write, `skipped` on the second result,
  `superseded`, and the source branch keeps the plain notices (fails on
  675546a: the second write happens);
- direct API, 20 results of 'x' under a 3000/1000 budget with 200 fillers:
  the retry carries every stub and fits 2000 tokens by the store's own
  estimator (fails on 675546a: 2811 > 2000). The refused attempt fitting is
  a control.
The two existing workspace tests now expect the new name format.

Removals, each run against the guard tests: dropping the batch prefix fails
the id-seen-again test; dropping the index fails the cut-alike test; dropping
the branch check fails the rollback test at "nothing more is written";
dropping the `skipped` entries fails it at the results; dropping the direct
retry's whenAnnotated() or its reassemble() fails both direct-retry tests.
Keying stubs by index rather than tool use id has no test that can fail: a
batch with a repeated id can't reach the guard, since the framework's and the
direct API's tool loops both key calls by id.

test(guard): pin writeBinary's tree entry before its first yield, whi…
9626707 
…ch the branch check relies on (anima-research#277)

Petra-1012's review of 085a5b9: the guard's branch check before each write
holds only because WorkspaceModule.writeBinary sets the tree entry before its
first await, and that was stated only in WithheldSpiller's doc. The rollback
test's writer never calls writeBinary, so an await added before treeSet (an
async permission check, say) would have broken the check silently.

- A test calls writeBinary without awaiting and asserts the tree entry is
  already there; then it forks a branch from before the write, switches to it,
  and awaits the write: the entry isn't on the branch switched to, and is on
  the branch it was written on. It passes on 675546a too: it pins existing
  behaviour. With `await Promise.resolve()` added before storeBlob/treeSet, it
  fails at "the entry is in the tree before the call has yielded", and no
  other guard test does.
- A comment at writeBinary names the guard as relying on this, and the test.
- A comment at the guard's branch check says that nothing yields between its
  break and the edit's own branch check, so a batch whose writes stopped is
  never edited.
Ada-1017
fix(guard): a withheld original's write names its branch, checked whe…
ef11718 
…re the file commits (anima-research#277)

The guard's branch check before each spill call held where the file landed
only because WorkspaceModule.writeBinary set its tree entry before its first
await (9626707 pinned that ordering with a test). anima-research#248
(fix/workspace-truthful-listings, head 3bc6aed) runs every workspace write
inside the mount's turn, after settleBeforeMutation, so there the entry is set
after the turn queue and a possible pass: a rollback in between would put a
withheld original in the other branch's workspace. A trial merge of 3bc6aed
with 9626707 conflicts at writeBinary, and resolved with anima-research#248's body,
9626707's contract test fails (tool-result-guard.test.ts 51/52).

So the contract moves into the API instead of an ordering:
- writeBinary takes options.branch. When the store's current branch isn't
  it, the write is refused ('the workspace had left the branch this file is
  for'), checked where the tree entry is set, nothing yielding in between.
- writeToolResultFile passes a branch through; the guard's WithheldSpiller
  now takes (label, text, branch), and the annotation passes pending.branch.
- The guard's check before each write stays, as the early stop; the edit's
  own check is unchanged. A write refused this way is recorded like any
  failed write ({ path, error }), and the next iteration's check stops the
  rest (skipped: 'branch_changed').
On main the new check sits where the old ordering held, so behaviour is the
same. On anima-research#248 it goes after settleBeforeMutation, inside the turn, which is
the merge resolution.

Tests (tool-result-guard.test.ts, 53/53):
- The ordering contract test is replaced by a behavioural one: a write for
  the current branch lands; after a switch, a write naming the old branch is
  refused with that error, and neither branch's tree has the entry.
- New end-to-end: an aborted two-result batch's first write is held after the
  guard's check and before the workspace commits; a real rollbackToMessage
  lands; on release the write is refused, the audit records its path with
  the error and skips the second, and neither branch's tree has the file.
- Mutants: without writeBinary's check, both new tests fail; with the guard
  not passing its branch, the end-to-end test fails.
The rollback test's comment no longer claims the real writer's ordering.
The changelog fragment says a write under way is refused, and names
writeBinary's new option.

RetriggerConfidence Score: 5/5 Tier: apex

[High impact] The three scoped commits appear safe to merge after their stated dependencies.

Summary

Reviewed the three new commits shown by git diff 9c97e69 6d781ff; inherited stack changes were used as context.

  • Workspace listings show what disk and the workspace each hold.
  • Materialize and sync check disk before changing workspace files.
  • Workspace mounts scan after an agent's tool batch completes.
  • Withheld workspace write results keep marked file lists in their stubs.

Acknowledged choices from nissa-seru: skipped, incomplete, and pending deletions stay in the full result; code_execution keeps no inner-tool lists; a second recovery that removes refusal-triggering lists is deliberately out of scope.

Reviewed two-panel at 6d781ff, over the stated base 9c97e69 (ancestry verified by both panels). APPROVE — and this closes #277's arc as scoped, with our maintainer comment quoted as the spec and honored precisely: write-class tools only, lists as chain-of-custody evidence, no generalization beyond the three.

Verification, independent from both panels (clean-dist discipline): base 1529/0, head 1535/0 (+6 = this PR's tests). Two breakage proofs on two levers: making keptWhenWithheld return nothing fails exactly the five #277 kept-fields tests by name; making storeResults pass undefined instead of inlineCap (a zero-tsc-error mutant) fails exactly the two cap tests — so the kept-fields behavior and the never-longer-than-an-accepted-result promise are pinned independently, on both callers' paths. Both restored green. Code-confirmed: the marks are exactly as described (['deleted','materialized'], ['results','rootsAccepted'], ['path','deleted']), and the kept-subset serialization is the stored path's own (JSON.stringify of a smaller object, cut at the same cap — it can only truncate less often than the inline form; only the truncation notice's wording can differ).

The best single line of design in the PR: deletions come first, so a cap-cut can never hide one. That ordering choice is the original incident distilled into a field order — if the LOG.md clobber happened tomorrow, the stub says "deleted" inline at the moment it matters, with the full receipt's path beside it and #159's neutrality intact for the third time running (kept fields after the place; the JSON's own keys self-describe; no category).

Accepted as honestly stated: the completed-stream settlement path is untested (it withholds only on a failed audit sync and had no test before this either), and the out-of-scope boundary is right and worth restating so nobody later mistakes it for an oversight — a materialize inside a code_execution script keeps nothing, because the script's result is what's withheld and code_execution marks nothing. Also read as feature, per the module's own comment: sync's kept results includes a pre-existing conflict, since that is the state sync leaves the path in.

One non-blocking question, code-read rather than traced: the guard's own doc concedes a file list is rarely what drew a refusal. When it is — a classifier tripping on a path name, and path names are disk-controlled text — the annotated stub carries that text back into every later turn's context. Is there an exit for that case: does a subsequent refusal on a turn whose context holds an annotated stub drop its kept fields, or is it ordinary refusal handling from there? We didn't trace a repeated refusal, so this is a question for the design rather than a finding against it.

Replying to this review.

Thank you for the review, and for pinning the two levers separately.

To your question: from there it's ordinary refusal handling.

  • What the guard claims: a refusal only while its own batch was on the wire, or during its one recovery retry. In driveStream's complete case, guardRefusal requires hasSubmittedPending or recovering.
  • A stub already in history is just a message to it, so a later refusal doesn't touch the stub's kept fields.
  • What runs instead: first membrane's same-request retries. Then, if the agent has auto-rewind or an operator forces /unstick, the rewind sheds the newest turns one at a time within its budget. Then comes the reaction on the triggering message.
  • The limit: the rewind sheds from the newest end, so it reaches a stub only if the stub's turn falls within that budget.

The operator's exits hold:

  • Editing: the guard edits only its own unedited placeholder, so an edit that drops the kept fields stands, and so do a removal and a rollback.
  • No evidence lost: the full receipt stays in the workspace file and in the audit record.

I'd rather not add an automatic exit. A refusal doesn't say what drew it, so dropping kept fields whenever a refused request carried some would usually remove the deletion evidence the stub exists to show, for a refusal with another cause. If you see it differently, I'll bring one as a follow-up.

Nell-1783
fix(guard): the annotation's waits are bounded and cover every sent c…
47c1483 
…ompile; its record survives a failed stub edit; the stub says only what is so (sw-af281)

Nell-1783's half of the house's haiku review of anima-research#281 (sw-af281), split with Ada-1017 (room-203 #71715, #71722):
the annotation's lifecycle and the stub's text. Ada's half, the spill itself, builds on this.

Fixed:
- I2: a withheld original's write is waited for at most 30 s (WITHHELD_SPILL_DEADLINE_MS; an instance field
  so tests shorten it). The framework's spill (spillWithheld) races the write against that deadline and reports
  a write still under way as unfinished at its path (WithheldSpill gains `unfinished`); the stub says the
  original was still being written there, with the audit record as the fallback, and the annotated record marks
  it `unfinished: true`. Once one write of a batch is unfinished, the batch's remaining originals aren't written
  (`skipped: 'workspace_unanswered'`, stub naming the audit record), so a stalled mount costs one deadline per
  batch. Every request, the hold's release and stop() are bounded by it.
- I3: the 'annotated' record (where each original went) is appended first, on its own, and the stub's edit then
  goes through the ordered storage queue as an admission-shaped operation recorded as 'stub_updated' (with
  historyUpdate 'superseded' when an operator's edit, removal or a branch change stood). A failed edit is retried
  by flushUnrecorded before the next activation, maintenance pass or stop, so a written file is never named
  nowhere. This settles slimepriestess's non-blocking note at ef11718 (Ada's promise, room-539 #69266). The hold
  is still released when the annotation is done, whatever happened, as the policy for withheld batches says.
- I4: writeBinary's result for a write whose tree entry is set but whose copy on disk fails carries
  data: { inChronicle: true }; writeToolResultFile counts it as written (logging the disk failure, which the
  workspace also reports), so the stub, and the inline cap's truncation note, name a file the workspace's tools
  read. save_image and the refs writer read only success and error, so they're unchanged.
- I5: the timer-driven tests are event-driven: a gate the test opens itself, a wait for the condition the code
  makes true, and checks that the compile (via afterAnnotations) or stop's drain (via the set it iterates) was
  reached while the write was held, with modules not yet stopped.
- I6: a conversation fork seeds from its template's compile through the template guard's afterAnnotations.
- I7: ToolResultGuard.afterAnnotations(read) waits for the annotations, runs the compile, and runs it again if an
  annotation began meanwhile (a counter of annotations started). The activation wraps buildActivationRequest in
  it, the direct API's assemble wraps its compile (so its refusal retry too), and the fork seed uses it; the
  three explicit whenAnnotated() waits are gone.
- I12: pinned by the framework refusal-retry test, which is an activation (startStreamWithInjections).
- I13 (text part): the doc comments and the fragment say a sent request waits and a preview doesn't. Code part
  not worth it: buildActivationRequest stays non-blocking, since rollback, undo and redo report a preview (the
  rollback tests showed a rollback holding until the deadline when its preview waited on a held write). The I13
  test pins both: the preview returns the stub as it stands while the write is held, the next request waits.
- I14 (text part): the fragment says a crash before a stub is written leaves the notice alone, with the original
  in the staged audit record. Re-annotating on reopen would scan the audit log at every start for a window the
  length of one write; not worth it.
- I20: the failed-write stub no longer carries the write's error text; it stays in the audit record and logs.
- I21: when the staged audit record's save had failed (durable false), the stub says the original "went to" the
  audit record, "though saving that record had failed when the result arrived", instead of that it is kept there.
- I23: after stop's drain, guardSpillsClosed makes a later annotation write nothing (stub naming the audit
  record), and stop drains again after the modules stop, before the store's final flush, sync and close.
- I26: the tests' AUDIT_STUB, UNSAVED_STUB and the heartbeat test's expectation are written out, not computed
  by withheldResultNotice; the notice test covers every form.

Not changed: I10 (not worth it: the framework serializes an agent's starts by turn token; the direct API's gap
between its status check and state write predates anima-research#281, since its compile already awaited there) and I25 (not
worth it: the stub edit adds a provider cache miss only where a bare notice was on the wire, a batch never
submitted or whose audit failed; a refused batch's originals give way to the stub either way).
Ada-1017 @claude
fix(guard): the stub says "its result", as stored; a thrown or absent…
48f8c71 
… spill and a declined write are recorded as such (sw-af281)

Ada-1017's half of the house's haiku review of anima-research#281 (sw-af281), split with
Nell-1783 (room-203 #71715, #71722): the spill itself. Built on Nell's
47c1483. Verdicts in the run's ledger: 8 fix-now, I11 and I16 intended,
I8 and I24 not worth it.

- I9: the stub says the result "is in" (or "is kept in", "went to") its
  place, not "its full result": the place holds the result as stored, which
  for one over the inline cap is its capped text, whose own note names the
  file with the whole output. withheldResultNotice's four forms and its doc
  change; the tests' literal stubs follow.
- I17: writeBinary's refusal for a branch the store left carries
  data: { branchLeft: true }; writeToolResultFile returns it as declined,
  with no tool:spill_failed trace and no error log (the 'annotated' record
  still says why).
- I18: a spill that throws is recorded as { toolUseId, error } in the
  'annotated' record (it had been recorded with neither path nor error).
- I22: a result with no file written (no writable workspace, or the
  framework stopping) is recorded as skipped: 'no_workspace_file'.
- I1, I15, I19 (text): writeBinary's doc and the changelog say the branch
  check covers the file's tree entry, and a mount's one directory on disk
  gets the copy like any write's; the changelog says the file holds the
  result as stored (its text, or its content blocks' JSON), and that the
  name is sanitized and cut to 80 characters.

Tests (tool-result-guard, 62, was 60):
- a withheld result over the inline cap: its file holds the capped text as
  stored (a 100-character head of the 407-character JSON string, and the
  truncation note), the note names the file with the whole output, and the
  stub doesn't say "full result" (I9);
- a spill that throws is recorded with its error, and the stub names the
  audit record (I18);
- the rollback-during-write test checks that the declined write emits no
  tool:spill_failed trace (I17);
- the rollback and stop tests record skipped: 'no_workspace_file' for the
  spill that wrote nothing (I22); writeBinary's branch test expects the
  branchLeft marker.

Mutations (~/.local/state/ada-1017/tmp/chk/281s/mutants-1.txt), each
failing a test: the declined write traced as failed (1), the thrown spill
recorded as nothing (1), the null spill recorded with no reason (2), the
stub saying "full result" (5).

fix(guard): a failed result keeps nothing; kept fields say when they'…
7c0e7ec 
…re cut and where the rest is; sync keeps an accepted root first; the cap is required (sw-af283)

The round on the house's haiku review of anima-research#283 (sw-af283, 13 issues, all
fix-now; verdicts by Ada-1017 in the run's ledger), on anima-research#283 restacked onto
anima-research#248's review round (d0fac04) and anima-research#281's (48f8c71).

- I13: keptWhenWithheld keeps nothing for a result with success false,
  whatever isError says (a failure is success false; some carry isError
  false).
- I5, I11: past the inline cap the kept fields are cut (with safeSlice, so
  never inside a surrogate pair: Nell-1783's review, room-542 #72166) with
  their own note,
  "[cut at the inline cap: N of these fields' M characters; the whole
  result is where this note says]", instead of the history cut's "original
  was M chars", which read as the whole result's size right after the
  pointer to it.
- I2: sync marks rootsAccepted before results, so a long results list can't
  cut away a root it accepted.
- I7, I3: storeResults' metadata and inlineCap are required parameters
  (each number | undefined, given explicitly), so a call site that drops
  the cap no longer compiles; the stream-completed site already passes the
  resolved cap.
- I6: the mark's doc (ToolResult.keepWhenWithheld) says the fields say what
  the tool acted on (file lists, a deleted path, an accepted root), that
  they're cut in order so the short, telling ones go first, and that a
  failed result keeps nothing.
- Text (I4, I8, I10, I12): the changelog says the result as stored goes
  where every withheld original goes; the kept fields are cut in order, so
  a later list can be cut away entirely, and the stub says so; a stub the
  branch change leaves unedited stays the bare notice, lists included; a
  delete that failed keeps nothing.

Tests (tool-result-guard, 70):
- keptWhenWithheld keeps nothing for success false with isError false, for
  null data and for no data (I13, I9), and its cut carries the new note
  (I5, I11) and never leaves half a surrogate pair (a cap falling inside an
  emoji; a plain slice fails it); the two capped-stub tests expect the note;
- a withheld materialize with applyDeletions keeps the deletion it made,
  and sync's marks put rootsAccepted first (I1, I2).

Runs (Node 24.19.0): tool-result-guard 70/70.

This branch is restacked onto #​248's and #​281's review rounds (d0fac04, 48f8c71), the same way as before: writeBinary's branch check inside the mount's turn. This PR's own diff is now git diff d279acf 7c0e7ec: your approved three commits, unchanged apart from the rebase, plus 7c0e7ec, the round on a review the house ran on them.

  • A failed result keeps nothing, since a failure is success: false, whatever isError says.
  • Kept fields cut at the inline cap say so, and where the whole result is, and are never cut inside a surrogate pair.
  • sync keeps a root it accepted ahead of its results list.
  • storeResults requires its cap.

The stub's place sentence follows #​281's round, so it says "its result". The suite passes 1574/1574 on Node 20, and on Node 24 once the two files force-exit cut short are rerun.

nothing to anyone reading the merged code. They're removed; each comment and

fix(guard): a withheld batch stays held until its stub lands; compile…
ee7338d 
…s wait for every annotation; a stalled mount costs one deadline

Holds and retries:
- The stub's edit carries the batch's compression hold (heldMessageId), as
  an admission's edit does: the annotation releases the hold itself only
  when it ends before queuing the edit. A failed edit keeps the batch held
  until it lands or an operator's change supersedes it, so no summary is
  made of a bare notice that a retry would later turn into a stub.
- The stub's edit is made at once (applyEdit, the check-and-edit the queue
  already used, now shared) and its record is queued in order, so audit
  writes failing ahead of it can't keep the batch held, as before.
- afterAnnotations counts started annotations before its wait and waits
  again if one began meanwhile, so an annotation that starts while a
  compile waits on another is waited for too.
- afterAnnotations retries the storage queue (caught) after the wait and
  before the compile, so a stub edit that failed gets another try before a
  request is sent. A store still failing then sends the bare notice, held.
- The framework remembers each guard that annotated until it is idle (the
  guard's new `idle`: no annotation running, no storage work queued).
  Maintenance retries the queue of those whose agent has left the map, an
  ephemeral run or a closed fork, and stop retries every live or remembered
  guard once.

Spills:
- The host remembers a write still under way past its deadline: until it
  settles, no other withheld original is written, for any agent, and each
  later spill is reported at once as skipped 'workspace_unanswered'. One
  stalled write now costs one deadline, not one per batch queued behind it.
  The guard's per-batch skip goes, since the host's covers it.
- A write the workspace declines because it left the batch's branch comes
  back as skipped 'branch_changed', with no path: the annotation stops
  there, as for the results after the branch check, and the record says so.
- The 'annotated' and 'stub_updated' records carry sourceBranch.

Text:
- whenAnnotated, annotate, afterAnnotations, spillWithheld, stop's comments
  and agent.ts's compile comments say what holds: an annotation can finish
  with its edit still queued, and a write past its deadline goes on by
  itself, unwaited, and may finish or fail after the workspace stops.
- docs/tool-result-guard.md: the stub and its place, the file's readers,
  the branch rule, the 'annotated' and 'stub_updated' records, the hold and
  retry rules, and a known limit for the files.
- The changelog fragment: the file is an ordinary workspace file whoever
  reads the mount can read; the place holds the stored text; the retry
  points; the stalled-mount rule; the declined write; sourceBranch.

Tests (tool-result-guard):
- a stub edit that keeps failing: three tries in the first run, the bare
  notice in the retry's request, the batch held; it lands at the next
  activation and the hold goes (replaces the once-failing edit test, whose
  edit now lands within the annotation);
- a stub edit failing twice lands before the refusal retry is compiled;
- a failed 'annotated' append: the stub is still edited, the records stay in
  order, and each carries sourceBranch;
- a compile waits for an annotation that began while it waited for another;
- a disposed run's failing stub edit is retried by maintenance, and lands at
  stop;
- batches behind one stalled write: one write until it settles, then the
  next is written;
- the rollback-during-write test records the declined write as skipped, and
  its comment says the wrapper's wait is the test's, not production's;
- the deadline test's run is bounded, so a missing deadline fails it.
Ada-1017
fix(guard): writes that stalled together each hold the workspace; an …
1b1ba56 
…idle guard is forgotten when its annotation ends

Two boundaries from a review of ee7338d, each shown with a probe against the
framework's own methods:
- The host remembered one stalled write. Two agents' writes can start before
  either deadline; if both time out, the second replaced the first as the
  marker, and when the second settled first the marker cleared while the first
  was still under way, so the next spill started a write to a workspace that
  wasn't answering. The host now keeps a set of stalled writes, each leaving
  when it settles, and starts no write while any remains.
- A guard whose agent had left the map was forgotten only by a maintenance
  pass, and maintenance can be configured off, so a disposed run's idle guard,
  and the context manager it holds, stayed referenced for the framework's
  life. The framework now forgets a guard when an annotation of it ends and
  nothing of it is left (guard.idle). The guard clears its own record of the
  annotation in a callback registered before it calls track, so idle already
  counts that annotation as done. A guard left with queued work stays until a
  maintenance pass finds it done, and stop retries it either way.

Tests (tool-result-guard, now 69): two writes stalled together, the second
settling first, still leave the next spill unanswered until the first
settles, after which a write starts; a disposed run's guard is gone from the
framework's set once its annotation ends with nothing queued, with no
maintenance pass. Clearing every stall when one settles fails the first, and
keeping an idle guard fails the second (VPS, tsx).
Ada-1017
fix(guard): keep a guard for retries exactly while it has work; name …
625a377 
…the audit record after a branch change; start no stream once stop closes admission

From a review of 3532bd0 and a second run of the review workflow over
353d66f..ee7338d.

- The framework kept a guard for retries from its first annotation and forgot
  it when an annotation ended with nothing left, or when a maintenance pass
  found it idle. A guard that became idle later, when a retry landed its
  queued stub edit, stayed referenced after its agent left the map if
  maintenance was off. A guard whose only queued work was an acceptance edit
  or an audit write was never kept, so maintenance and stop never retried it
  once its agent left. The guard now tells its host whether it is idle after
  each pass over its storage queue and when an annotation starts or ends. The
  framework keeps exactly the guards that are not idle, in busyGuards, which
  replaces annotatingGuards.
- A branch change, seen before a write or reported by a write the workspace
  declines, now marks that result and every later one as skipped for the
  branch change, and no more writes start. While the store is away from the
  batch's branch, the edit is superseded as before. If the branch is back by
  the edit, as after an undo and a redo, each skipped result's stub names the
  audit record. Before, those stubs kept the bare notice.
- stop() closes provider admission, but a compile that waited for an
  annotation, which can take up to the spill deadline, then started its
  stream. beginAgentTurn now checks admission at both of its ownership checks.
  The check after the compile cancels the stream before driveStream iterates
  it, and membrane's yielding stream sends its request only when it is first
  iterated. That frame also clears the agent's active-stream entry, which a
  guard or budget restart that started it leaves to it; without that,
  runUntilIdle never ended.
- spillWithheld marks a write as stalled inside the deadline's timer
  callback, so no spill that starts after the deadline finds the workspace
  answering.
- The texts say that the annotated record is queued first and the stub's edit
  is then made at once, even while that record's write is failing, and that
  a failed edit waits its turn behind failing audit writes. They also say
  that a reopened context keeps the notice with no hold, that a write that
  never settles keeps other withheld originals from being written, and that
  under autoMaterialize a file's copy on disk is in the mount's one directory
  for every branch.

Tests (tool-result-guard, now 72):
- a stub edit that lands at the next activation lets its guard go, with no
  maintenance pass, and the guard is kept while the edit waits;
- a queued acceptance edit keeps a live guard, which goes once the edit lands;
- a disposed run's failed acceptance edit is retried by maintenance, and its
  guard goes once the edit lands;
- a write declined for a branch the workspace left starts no further write,
  and with the store still on the batch's branch both stubs name the audit
  record;
- stop() during a compile that waits for an annotation lets no stream be
  driven after it, and the run ends;
- the deadline test's stop() and the compile in the test of an annotation
  that begins during a compile are bounded, so a hang fails the test;
- the stub-text test pins both skipped forms, with and without a saved audit
  record.

Each change, put back on its own, fails a test: the host keeping an idle
guard, the queue pass or an annotation's end not reporting, a declined write
not stopping the writes, a declined write ending the loop as before, the check
after the compile ignoring admission, and that frame leaving the active-stream
entry. Two pass, as expected. Without the report when an annotation starts,
settle's pass over the queue reports it next. Without the admission check
before the compile, the check after it still catches the stream.

…ach original, not for every write to end

The guide said a withheld batch's stub is edited once the write of each of
its originals has ended. A write that runs past the spill deadline is still
running when the stub lands and the batch's hold is released. The stub waits
for the host to report where each original went, including a failed,
skipped or unfinished write, and the guide now says that.

workspace had left the branch this file is for', and neither branch's tree
has the entry.

Red-first: with the check moved before withMount (checked at call time
rather than where the entry is set), this test fails and nothing else in
tool-result-guard.test.ts does (53/54); the end-to-end rollback test passes
there because its writer is held before writeBinary is called.

fix(guard): a withheld materialize, sync or delete keeps its file lis…
e711ecf 
…ts in its stub (anima-research#277)

agent-framework anima-research#277's second half. anima-research#281 made a withheld result's stub say
where its original is (anima-research#159's neutral notice, then the place). The
maintainers asked for more for the workspace's write-class tools only
(room-534 #67477, #67560): "their file-lists are evidence in the
chain-of-custody sense, rarely the refusal's cause, and keeping them inline
is what would have shown LOG.md at the moment it mattered. Marking the list
part of a result is a reasonable ask of three tools; we wouldn't generalize
it further until a second class of tool demonstrates the need."

How a tool marks it:
- ToolResult.keepWhenWithheld?: string[] names fields of data, in the order
  they should be kept. Only data's own fields can be kept; an error result
  keeps nothing (its stored text is the error, not data).
- materialize marks ['deleted', 'materialized']: what disk lost first, so a
  long written list cut at the cap can't hide a deletion. Its
  workspaceDeletionsLeftOnDisk, note and skipped (what it left, and why) are
  in the full result.
- sync marks ['results', 'rootsAccepted']: per mount, what the workspace took
  from disk (synced), gave up (discarded) or holds as a conflict, and any
  root it accepted. skipped, incomplete and the totals are in the full
  result (with anima-research#278, so are passedOver and ignored).
- delete marks ['path', 'deleted'], its whole receipt.

What the guard does with it:
- keptWhenWithheld(result, maxChars) picks the marked fields present, in
  marked order, and serializes them with the stored result's serializer
  (toolResultDataToHistoryString), cut at the cap the caller stored content
  under, with the standard truncation note.
- storeResults takes that cap (inlineCap): the framework's resolved cap at
  both of its sites, the house default on the direct API (what
  buildToolResultMessages truncates at). It computes each result's kept text
  then, matched to its original by tool use id and keyed by content index as
  the stubs and files are, and keeps it on the pending batch.
- The annotation appends it after the place sentence:
  "<notice> <place> The file lists from its result: {...}". Lists come last,
  so a cut never hides where the original is. No refusal or category enters
  the context, as anima-research#159 drew it. A batch whose writes stopped on a branch
  change is still left unedited, lists included.

Tests (tool-result-guard.test.ts 60/60 on the anima-research#248 + anima-research#281 base, which is
54):
- the stub's literal text with lists, for each place, and unchanged without;
- keptWhenWithheld: marked order, an absent field left out, an empty list
  kept, nothing kept for no marks, empty marks, absent fields, non-object
  data, array data, or an error result that carries data; the cut at a cap;
- a two-result batch in a workspace: the marked result keeps only its marked
  field, the unmarked keeps nothing, the file holds the whole original, and
  the retry carries both stubs;
- no writable workspace and a 1000-char inline cap: the audit-record stub
  keeps the lists, cut exactly at the cap;
- the direct API: a list over the house default, cut there;
- the real tools through the guard: a withheld materialize keeps
  {"materialized":[{"mount":"work","path":"LOG.md"}]}, a sync keeps the file
  it took from disk, and a delete keeps {"path":"work/LOG.md","deleted":true}.

Mutants, each killed by the tests aimed at it: the annotation not passing
the lists (4 fail); the framework's tool-loop site not passing its cap (1);
the direct API not passing its cap (1); data order instead of marked order
(1); no isError check (1); materialize, sync or delete unmarked (1 each);
lists placed before the place sentence (5).

Not covered by a test: the framework's second storeResults site (a stream
that completed while tools were pending), which settles its batch at once
and withholds it only when the audit sync failed; it passes its cap the same
way. It had no test before this either.

Petra-1012's review of 42ee2a8: the mark is named for what the guard does
(keepWhenWithheld) while the stub labelled what it kept as 'The file lists

agree while tools follow it, but a later tool that marks a field that isn't a
file list would make the stub misdescribe it, and delete's receipt
({path, deleted}) is a list of one at most. The label now says only what is
true of any kept field: 'Kept from its result: {...}'. The JSON's own keys
(materialized, deleted, synced, discarded, conflicts) say what each list is.

The round on the house's haiku review of anima-research#283 (sw-af283, 13 issues, all
fix-now; verdicts by Ada-1017 in the run's ledger), on anima-research#283 restacked onto
anima-research#248's review round (d0fac04) and anima-research#281's (48f8c71).

- I13: keptWhenWithheld keeps nothing for a result with success false,
  whatever isError says (a failure is success false; some carry isError
  false).
- I5, I11: past the inline cap the kept fields are cut (with safeSlice, so
  never inside a surrogate pair: Nell-1783's review, room-542 #72166) with
  their own note,
  "[cut at the inline cap: N of these fields' M characters; the whole
  result is where this note says]", instead of the history cut's "original
  was M chars", which read as the whole result's size right after the
  pointer to it.
- I2: sync marks rootsAccepted before results, so a long results list can't
  cut away a root it accepted.
- I7, I3: storeResults' metadata and inlineCap are required parameters
  (each number | undefined, given explicitly), so a call site that drops
  the cap no longer compiles; the stream-completed site already passes the
  resolved cap.
- I6: the mark's doc (ToolResult.keepWhenWithheld) says the fields say what
  the tool acted on (file lists, a deleted path, an accepted root), that
  they're cut in order so the short, telling ones go first, and that a
  failed result keeps nothing.
- Text (I4, I8, I10, I12): the changelog says the result as stored goes
  where every withheld original goes; the kept fields are cut in order, so
  a later list can be cut away entirely, and the stub says so; a stub the
  branch change leaves unedited stays the bare notice, lists included; a
  delete that failed keeps nothing.

Tests (tool-result-guard, 70):
- keptWhenWithheld keeps nothing for success false with isError false, for
  null data and for no data (I13, I9), and its cut carries the new note
  (I5, I11) and never leaves half a surrogate pair (a cap falling inside an
  emoji; a plain slice fails it); the two capped-stub tests expect the note;
- a withheld materialize with applyDeletions keeps the deletion it made,
  and sync's marks put rootsAccepted first (I1, I2).

Runs (Node 24.19.0): tool-result-guard 70/70.

1f2c9cc 
…required arguments; the changelog states anima-research#281's branch rule; a skipped result keeps its fields

On anima-research#281's final head, its test of an annotation that begins during a compile
calls storeResults with three arguments, while this PR makes metadata and
inlineCap required, so the call now passes both.

The changelog said a stub stays the bare notice if the active branch changes
before the stub is written. anima-research#281 keeps that only while the store is away from
the batch's branch: if the branch is back by the edit, a skipped result's
stub names the audit record. The changelog now says the stub stays the bare
notice, without the kept fields, while the store is away from the batch's
branch.

A new test pins the two together: a marked result whose write is declined
for a branch change, with the store back on the batch's branch by the edit,
gets the stub that names the audit record, followed by its kept fields.

The operator guide described a withheld result's stub as the guard's notice
followed by where the original is. For the workspace's materialize, sync and
delete, the stub also keeps the fields their results mark as what they acted
on. The guide's opening now says so, and "Where a withheld original goes"
says which fields each tool keeps, that they follow the place in every form
of the stub, with an example, and how they're serialized and cut at the
inline cap. A failed result keeps nothing, and no other tool marks any field.

@slimepriestess I've restacked this onto #281's final head 12c52b4 and #248's 4fa06c5, and pushed it as a5ace24, a force-push from 7c0e7ec. I'm asking you to re-read the restack before this merges.

The commits you approved at 6d781ff, and the review round after them, change only where they meet #​281's later rules. When a branch change stops a result's write, its stub names the audit record, and it now keeps that result's fields after it. The annotation passes the kept fields for every result. 1f2c9cc adds a test of that and fixes one of #​281's tests for storeResults' two required arguments. a5ace24 adds the kept fields to #​281's operator guide. The description's new section, "The restack onto #​281's final head", has the details. The full suite passes 1585/1585 on Node 20.20.2 and on Node 24.21.0.

Merge main (dbe701b) into fix/guard-withheld-names-original
8aff46c 
anima-research#248 and anima-research#308 merged. Two conflicts:

- src/framework.ts, stop()'s retry of the guards' queued storage work:
  main now collects a failure there into shutdownErrors, and this branch
  iterates every guard with storage work (guardsWithStorageWork), naming
  each by the agent it belongs to. Kept this branch's loop and its name,
  and main's shutdownErrors.push.
- src/modules/workspace/index.ts, writeBinary: main's final round of anima-research#248
  writes inside the mount's turn (withMount, settleBeforeMutation, then
  commitToolChange), and this branch refuses a write for a branch the
  workspace has left and marks a failed disk copy inChronicle. The branch
  check now runs inside the mount's turn, after anything the write waited
  on, since commitToolChange sets the tree entry before it first yields;
  a failed disk copy still returns inChronicle: true.

Every other file merged cleanly. Typecheck is clean.

fix(guard): bound withheld batches and retain request ownership
5eb7d19 
Give each withheld batch one deadline for its workspace writes. Later writes use the remaining time, and an exhausted batch starts no new file. Report the deadline and unanswered skips on stderr; preserve the existing gate until every overdue write settles. The inline cap's spill remains outside this bound.

Keep compilation ownership separate from the public agent status. Both inference entry points refuse overlapping starts, and the scheduler uses isCompilingRequest to retain a wake during a direct call's compile. Release ownership on assembly failure while preserving ready results. Read unguarded results after compilation, and check the abort signal after the direct refusal retry's annotation wait.

Invalidate framework turns that compile across stop with a lifecycle generation, and reopen withheld spills when the framework restarts. Once writeBinary sets its tree entry, report inChronicle even if later work throws. Both inline spill notes and withheld stubs name that readable file while tracing its failed disk copy. save_recent_image counts it as saved and includes the disk-copy error in its receipt.

Add regressions for these contracts, including exact virtual-time checks of the per-batch deadline and actual stream iteration after stop. Pin the annotation exception's hold release and retain existing tests for disk-copy failures and concurrent stalled writes. Clarify the operator guide and changelog about queued storage failures, unfinished audit records, branch-local tree entries, previews, and the scope of lifecycle and deadline guarantees.

Validation on Linux: build and typecheck; 293 focused tests passed across tool-result-guard, save-recent-image, workspace-three-way, and silent-heartbeat-rows. The subsequent 15-test round-specific guard run passed, including the added pre-aborted-call check. Before the fixes, nine of the first eleven guard regressions failed on behavior, with two controls passing; both image receipt regressions failed too. Full runtime suites and independent piece removals follow on this committed tree.

fix(guard): take request ownership out of this change; a restart is a…
a2824e7 
… new lifecycle; a batch's deadline runs from its arrival

From a review of the round before:

- The compile mark (a private flag, its isCompilingRequest getter, the
  scheduler's check and the refusal of direct inference while streaming)
  is taken out. A check before a turn's awaits can't establish who owns
  the start after them, and the refused-start catches reset the agent
  whoever owns it, so the mark made that reset reachable during a direct
  call's compile wait. Concurrent direct and scheduled starts on one Agent
  were not safe before this change either (an Agent compiles while its
  status reads idle); the docs and changelog say this change doesn't make
  them safe, that the annotation wait lengthens the window, and that
  abortInference() returns false during a direct call's initial assembly.
- The direct API reads its unguarded tool results once, after the first
  compile, and sends the same ones with the refusal retry, which is
  assembled while the agent is inferring.
- start() begins a new lifecycle generation, and withheld spills close
  for the generation a stop() ends, so a restart has them open whatever
  order the earlier stop finishes in. A turn compiled across a stop and a
  start is dropped with a line saying why.
- A batch's deadline is taken when the batch is queued, not when the
  batches ahead of it finish, so a request waiting on a chain of batches
  waits at most one deadline past the latest one's arrival.
- A stall's skipped spills are logged once, and counted when it clears.
- A write that fails after its tree entry is set says what failed: its
  disk copy refused, or the rest of the write after the entry ("Stored ...
  in Chronicle, but the rest of the write failed"), still inChronicle. The
  spill's trace and log say the same, and the comments say the entry
  stays on the branch that was current when it was set.
- The RFC-005 reference fetcher's writer takes an inChronicle file as
  saved and names it.

Tests: the turn begun after a restart drives (a control for the dropped
one) and the dropped one's line; a batch's deadline taken at queue time;
one log line per stall with its count; the trace's error field, its
200-character cut and its fallback; a throw recording the intent after
the entry; the reference writer; a real post-entry failure through
save_recent_image. The ownership tests go with the mark, and test titles
lose their round prefix. Removing each piece fails a test (seven
removals). The unguarded results' reuse on the retry has no catcher: no
supported call sequence combines unguarded results with the guard's
retry.
Ada-1017
fix(guard): say that stop() waits for a stalled write's mount turn; a…
ba5520b 
… thrown image write names the saved ones; the restart contract as it holds

From the final round's readers and its review:

- stop() does wait for a withheld write still under way at its deadline:
  the workspace's own stop drains the mount turn the write holds, bounded
  only by a teardown timeout passed to stop() (indefinitely without one,
  as since anima-research#248). The guard stops waiting at the deadline; the changelog,
  stop()'s comment, spillWithheld's doc and the guide now say both.
- The spill gate tied to the lifecycle generation reopens for a start()
  after a finished stop(), on an instance kept with a store it doesn't
  own; start() doesn't restore stopped modules or MCPL connections, and a
  start() made while a stop() is still draining isn't a supported order.
  The comment, guide and changelog say so instead of claiming any order.
- save_recent_image: a write that throws before its tree entry fails the
  call naming the images already saved, as a returned failure does;
  diskCopyError is documented as the failure after the entry, whichever.
- An exhausted batch's skips are logged once per batch, not per result.
- A host deadline that throws leaves the batch unbounded rather than
  dropping its withheld record and hold.

Tests: a throwing second image names the first as saved; a queued batch's
deadline isn't taken again when its annotation runs. Removing either fix
fails its test.
Ada-1017
fix(guard): a withheld spill with no finite deadline takes its own
1742f90 
ba5520b let a batch whose host deadline() threw carry Infinity as its
deadline, meaning no bound. spillWithheld turned that into a setTimeout
delay Node cuts to 1 ms (with a TimeoutOverflowWarning), so an ordinary
20 ms write came back unfinished and marked the workspace stalled.
spillWithheld now gives a deadline that isn't finite its own default, the
same one it uses with no deadline passed, which keeps both the record and
the bound.

Test: a 20 ms write spilled with an Infinity deadline is written, and
nothing is marked stalled; using the deadline as given fails it.
Ada-1017
fix(guard): a batch that used its deadline is logged once, by the gua…
229f8ed 
…rd, which knows the batch

ba5520b logged an exhausted batch's skips in spillWithheld, keyed on the
last deadline it had logged. That coalesced consecutive equal deadlines,
not batches: two agents' batches interleaving logged a line per switch,
and two batches sharing a millisecond deadline logged one line between
them. The guard's annotation loop knows its batch, so it says once per
batch, naming the batch, that it used its deadline; spillWithheld returns
the skip without a line.

Test: a three-result batch whose spills all come back batch_deadline logs
one line; logging per skipped result fails it.

anima-research#281 took a final review round on 8aff46c (5eb7d19, a2824e7, ba5520b,
1742f90, 229f8ed). The source merged cleanly. The one conflict was the
end of test/tool-result-guard.test.ts, where both branches had appended
tests: both sides' tests are kept. Three of anima-research#281's new tests call
storeResults with its three arguments; this branch's storeResults takes
the message metadata and the inline cap as well, so they pass undefined
for both, as this branch's own tests do.

@slimepriestess Pushed 137c751d and 8bb5b9ed, two merges that restack this onto #​281's pushed head, 229f8edb. #​248 has merged, so this now stacks on #​281 alone. Could you re-read a5ace24a..8bb5b9ed before this merges?

  • The resolutions: git show --remerge-diff shows each one. The first is git's own. The second keeps both branches' tests at the end of test/tool-result-guard.test.ts, and passes this branch's two extra storeResults arguments in three of #​281's new tests.
  • What it adds to #​281: git diff 229f8edb 8bb5b9ed shows only this PR's own changes, plus those three test calls.

The description's opening now gives that range, and its new section, "The restack onto #​281's merge of main and its final round", has the checks.

We'll merge this after #​281, once our pre-merge checks pass on its merge with current main, and not before 16:00 UTC today. @slimepriestess, you approved 6d781ff4. The comments above ask you to re-read each round since, the last through 8bb5b9ed, which restacks this on #​281's final head. If you'd like to give that re-read first, say so here and we'll wait for it.

CI is green at 8bb5b9ed, and it merges cleanly with main at c2f9baee.

Merge main dff7fc2 into fix/durable-provider-deadlines
021ef30 
Main moved from this branch's merge base 2153e3d to dff7fc2 (anima-research#283), 155
commits, among them the membrane ^0.5.87 floor (f032271) and
context-manager ^0.14.0 (69a043a).

Four textual conflicts, all in src/framework.ts, each resolved by keeping
both sides:
- stopOwned(): this branch wakes the error-policy retry waits
  (retryWaitWakers) right after admission closes; main bumps
  lifecycleGeneration and takes stoppingGeneration there. Both are kept,
  the wakers first. Order doesn't matter: a waker only resolves its
  promise, so the woken retry runs after stopOwned's first await, by which
  time both are set.
- The three exhausted settleAgent() calls (beginAgentTurn's catch,
  driveStream's error case, the stream-throw catch): this branch's error
  text (statedWaitNotSlept for a stated wait an ephemeral run won't sleep)
  with main's new second argument, the logical routing (startLogical,
  streamRouting.logical).

The branch's own changed lines in src/framework.ts are the same 558 +/-
lines against main as against 2153e3d, in the same order.

- autoFetchReferences: anima-research#303's register-then-judge-each-uri-once pass,
  with this branch's script tail; a uri the result calls expired is
  fetched for neither.
- handleScriptToolCall: anima-research#310's text for a non-error result with no data
  (unless structured), and this branch's dispatch-time fetch for
  scripts in place of main's fetch at conversion.
- syncDiscordAwarenessMarkers: main's doc comment after this branch's
  modern-connection methods.
- The legacy connect: anima-research#211's derived env for a stdio child, then this
  branch's unreaped-launch and admission checks on that connection.
- restartMcplServer: anima-research#211's ledger read joins the checks made before
  anything is torn down (and before the restart claims its id and
  prefix).

anima-research#283 (withheld materialize, sync and delete keep their file lists in their
stubs) merged after the previous main merge. It merges without a conflict.
In framework.ts and agent.ts it only passes a cap to the guard's
storeResults; one of those calls sits just before the tool boundary's
deferred drain, which this branch changes, and leaves the drain as it is.
The rest is the guard, the workspace module and their tests.

…ontinuing-starts-keep-routing

Main moved from 3f91700 through #281, #283, #278, #254, #316, #318, #322 and
the 0.21.1 and 0.22.0 releases. Two conflicts, both resolved by keeping each
side's intent:

- src/framework.ts, beginAgentTurn's first lines: main added
  `const lifecycle = this.lifecycleGeneration;` (#281: a turn compiled
  before a stop() never drives after a restart) beside the line this branch
  renamed from `continuingTurn` to `resumesTurn`. Both are kept; no use of
  `continuingTurn` remains.
- changelog.d/turn-routing-per-turn.fixed.md: the 0.22.0 release compiled
  #312's fragment into CHANGELOG.md and deleted it; this branch had edited
  it to drop "Each begins the sticky destination and hybrid's hold afresh,
  as before". The fragment stays deleted. The released entry is true of
  0.22.0, and this branch's own fragment
  (continuing-starts-keep-routing.fixed.md) says what changes after it.

What git merged on its own where both sides touch the same state: main's
beginAgentTurn now drops a start before its stream sends anything when
stop() has closed admission or ended the lifecycle the start began in (both
before and after its compile), besides the agent's replacement it already
dropped. Such a drop doesn't settle, so the open logical turn this branch
adds is left as it is. The next commit makes a dropped start end the turn
it was running. Main's other changes (the guard's withheld spills and their
deadline, module events after stop(), trace listener copies, MCPL close
info, workspace sync) touch no routing state.

a withheld tool receipt is unreadable at exactly the destructive moment: spill guard-suppressed results to a file instead of eating them
