[nissa-seru]

This PR makes the MCPL outgoing stream (channels/outgoing/chunk and channels/outgoing/complete) carry only the prose that delivery published, each piece sent once its publish succeeds. It also makes a skip_reply or a send made inside a code_execution script silence its round's prose, as the same call made directly does. !Closes #306.

On main the stream carries a round's text as the model writes it, before the framework decides whether to deliver that round. So discord-mcpl's voice speaks text that a resident kept back with skip_reply, a send or a private think, and text whose publish then fails. With this PR none of that is voiced. The cost of the fix is that voice hears each round once its routing is decided and its publish succeeds, rather than as it's written: on Opus 5.5 a median-length reply starts about 4 s later, and a round that writes a tool call after its text waits for that too.

Below: why the stream follows delivery, the changes, the cost, each part and what it's for, who notices, the companion changes, the tests, what isn't verified, notes on what this head merges, and what's out of scope.

Why the stream follows delivery

MCPL Spec 14.3 says a chunk stream "MUST NOT contain text the host's delivery path would refuse to deliver (e.g. text with no resolved destination, private/skip segments). When routing is undecided, the host withholds; it never streams speculatively." It says channels/outgoing/complete is "Sent once per (inferenceId, channelId) that received chunks, on every inference exit path (complete, abort, error)".

Main breaks both. ProseStreamRouter is fed every text delta as it arrives (src/framework.ts:12042-12072 at 92125b07), while delivery decides a round's fate at its tool-calls event (12227-12310). So a streaming server received:

• a round that called skip_reply, a silencing send (send_message, channel_publish, reply_message, send_dm, or a world utterance such as say), or a think under same_round_think_text_policy: private;
• a round its stream never finished, such as one cut off by a stream error;
• in hybrid mode, in a later stream of the turn (a budget restart, a guard retry, a framework retry, a re-inference, or the compile a capacity hold defers the turn to), text the turn's hold kept back or its pin sent to another channel, because each stream's router started at the locus;
• in locus and hybrid mode, after a mid-turn re-pin, text bound for the new locus, which the router sent to the locus fixed when the stream started.

A stream that handed its turn to a budget restart or a guard retry sent no complete at all (frameReachedTerminal, 13384), so a voice server never learned that its utterance had ended.

No line of a round is settled before the round ends, in any mode. In explicit mode a skip_reply written later in the same round keeps the whole round private, >>-prefixed lines included (keepPrivate, 12265), and a same-round private think keeps the round out of delivery (12264). In locus and hybrid mode a later silencing tool or private think withholds the round. So even a deliberate >> line can't stream before its round ends.

Holding each round and releasing it through the router once delivery decides would still disagree with delivery in three cases. Delivery substitutes a held draft's words for {{unsent}}, but the router streams the token. Delivery posts an explicit >> target to the resolution it admitted when the round ended, but the router resolves the target again. And the registry refuses some publishes after its own checks, such as a closed channel that won't open, a server without channels.publish or a channel its server declared inbound-only, which the router can't see, and a publish can fail or go unconfirmed. So the stream now comes from delivery itself, once each publish succeeds.

This leaves behind §14.3's own description of chunks, "streamed while the model is still generating" and sent to the server "whose channels/publish will eventually deliver the same content". Under the fail-closed rule, a round's text can't stream before its routing is decided, and here it also waits for its publish, so a chunk now follows its publish. A turn's earlier rounds can still stream while the model writes its later ones. Whether §14.3's wording should follow is a question for the spec; this PR changes only the host.

This also resolves the stream items in #308's "Not covered": the withheld round, a skip_reply inside a script (#306), a label that changes while its round is written, the withheld hybrid round, the replaced stream's complete, and the resumed hybrid stream that started at the locus.

The changes

Delivery feeds the stream.

• Every prose delivery a stream queues streams what it published once the outcome says delivered: locus mode's mid-turn, text-only and trailing publishes, hybrid mode's two in deliverHybridProse, and explicit mode's in deliverProseEnvelope. The chunk carries that channel and text, a later message to the same channel opening with a paragraph break.
• Only a publish the server confirms (delivered: true) streams, so one it doesn't is never voiced: one the registry refuses before sending (such as for no channel, a closed channel that won't open, a server without channels.publish, or a channel its server declared inbound-only), one that throws, times out or gets an error answer, one the server reports undelivered (delivered: false), and one whose reply leaves delivered out. Text held as a draft doesn't stream either. A later {{unsent}} send of a held draft's words is voiced once.
• routeSpeech keeps its signature.
• A later publish to the same channel within one stream opens with a paragraph break (\n\n), so a channel's chunks joined in index order are its text, with its messages kept apart.
• Tool publications, such as send_message, a drafts resend or the sleep tool's announcement, aren't part of the stream, as before.
• Each stream sends complete for every channel it streamed to, on every exit path. That includes a stream that hands its turn to a budget restart or a guard retry; the successor streams under its own inference id. complete waits for the deliveries the stream queued, so no chunk can follow it. When the host stops, each stream that hasn't sent its complete sends it at once, with what it has streamed, before the host forgets its channels and closes the connections a delivery still out waits on. That includes a stream the host no longer tracks, such as a disposed ephemeral's still finishing its last publish. A publish that succeeds after that isn't streamed.
• New inference:published and inference:published_complete traces mirror each chunk and complete for in-process consumers, whether or not a server takes the stream. Each inference:published also carries the messageId the channel's server returned for that publish, when it returned one. inference:tokens is unchanged: it carries the model's text as it's written, held as before while a tool-result guard's batch is pending. mcpl:speech-routed also reports speech publishes, with no stream id, index or end, each once it's delivered, among them the sleep tool's announcement and a subconscious's speak_in_channel. So a relay that voices the agent's prose takes the inference:published stream, with its inference:published_complete, and not mcpl:speech-routed as well. To edit what it voiced, such as cutting an interrupted message down to the words heard, it takes each message's id from the same trace.

What goes, since only the speculative stream needed it:

• ProseStreamRouter and its test file.
• TurnRouting.destination and roundDestination(), which only seeded and retargeted the router.
• The new inference id and router reset after a membrane refusal retry. Nothing of a refused attempt is delivered, so nothing of it streams, and the rounds delivered before it keep their chunks under one id and one complete. A frame now has one inference id throughout, so its inference/lifecycle started and terminal match too. On main the retry re-minted the id between them, and a consumer matching them by inferenceId saw the first inference never end and a terminal for an id that never started.
• The text half of the tool-result guard's hold. It now holds only inference:tokens traces.
• The tool-wrapper guard's exclusion from streaming. A guarded agent's prose now streams as delivery publishes it. A wrapper the guard contains is never published, so it never streams. Wrapper-shaped text the guard doesn't match, as in a turn that has made a real tool call, was already posted as ordinary prose, and now streams too.

A script's calls count as its round's (#306).

• A round whose script can change its routing is routed once its scripts have returned. A foreground script records each tool it calls, and the round is routed with its own calls and its scripts' together, before the turn can end or continue.
• A script can change its round's routing when its code names a tool whose call changes the round's routing in the turn's mode. In locus and hybrid mode that's skip_reply, a silencing send, drafts (whose resend is one), say or whisper. In explicit mode, where sends don't silence, it's only skip_reply. In either, it's also think under the private same-round policy. Disabled mode routes nothing, so nothing waits.
• A name counts in code wherever it stands as a whole word of ASCII letters, digits and underscores, or after __ as in mcpl__world__say, as a function named for the tool is called or a tools[...] key is written: mcpl__world__say( names say, while say_hello and my_say don't. The script is read past its comments and string literals, as Python reads them. A name in a comment doesn't count, since Python never runs one. A name anywhere in a string counts for the script's own round, since a string can be a key or code to run.
• A script can also change its round's routing when the interpreter it runs in has run a script that left such a tool reachable. It can do that by naming the tool inside a definition (a function or lambda, a class's methods among them), whose body runs when it's called, by naming it other than in a direct call, as with an alias, or by keeping a string that is the tool's whole name, optionally namespaced, as a key kept for later is. The interpreter keeps that until it's reclaimed or restarted. A direct call outside a definition leaves nothing behind for a later script. That includes a call in a class's own body, which runs as the class statement does. A string that only mentions a tool, as a printed sentence does, leaves nothing behind either.
• Any other round is routed at its tool-calls event, as on main, so narration beside a script isn't held for the script's runtime (R1-1). What this can't see is published as on main, such as a name the code doesn't spell out (built at runtime, written with escapes, or in non-ASCII spellings), code loaded from a file or module, an enumeration of the tools, a call written in a string's text (code run with exec or eval, or an f-string's field), inside a definition too, a definition or alias made inside such a string, a call that outlives its script (one a later script awaits, one scheduled as a task, or one left in a generator expression), and code a later script runs from a string an earlier one kept.
• A script's result settles only the round that dispatched it, even when a newer round reuses its call id (R1-2). A newer round of the agent withholds an older one still waiting, whether or not the newer one waits itself, so no call of the newer round can settle it.
• Its segments, the turn's locus and an explicit round's admitted >> targets are taken at its tool-calls event, so a re-pin, a channel_open made by the script or a label renamed while it runs doesn't move prose already written. Only whether its calls silence it waits for the scripts. Hybrid's >>> targets, sticky pin and hold apply as the delivery runs, as for any queued hybrid delivery.
• So an inner skip_reply keeps the round private in every mode. In locus and hybrid mode an inner send, a drafts resend among them, holds the round and the turn's later prose as drafts, as a direct send does; in explicit mode, as with a direct send, it silences neither. A round whose calls include both a send and skip_reply is kept private, not drafted. An inner think under the private policy holds the round back. A refused inner skip_reply, whether the agent's allowedTools leaves it out or its wake can't be set, keeps only its own round private, and a refused inner send silences nothing, as the same refused direct calls do.
• The round waits only for its code_execution calls. A direct call's effect on routing is known from its name at tool-calls, so a slow tool beside the script doesn't delay the round.
• A background script's call returns as soon as the script has started, so its round isn't delayed, and its later calls aren't the round's.
• A round whose turn ends or stops waiting on it, or that a newer round of the same agent replaces, before its scripts return, as when the turn is stopped or an ephemeral is disposed, is withheld. Whether a script would have silenced it, or kept it private, is unknown, so it's neither sent nor held as a draft. A log line names it, and in locus and hybrid mode the turn's delivery receipt counts it as suppressed, since a turn that a later stream continues writes its receipt after the withhold.

The cost

A round reaches a streaming server when its routing is decided and its publish succeeds. The added delay is the time the model takes to write the round, from its first text token to its end, plus the publish's round trip. Each round of a multi-round turn still streams as soon as that round's publish succeeds.

Measured on 2026-10-13, from unstreamed API calls, three runs per model of a 600 to 800 token spoken-style answer, taking the rate as output tokens over the long call's duration less a one-token call's:

• generation rate, medians: Opus 5.5 74 tok/s, Sonnet 5.5 96 tok/s, Haiku 5.5 153 tok/s;
• Opus 5.5's tokenizer gives 2.86 to 3.02 characters per token on technical prose. The figures below use 3.0.

From residents' replies: the lengths of 58 replies that three residents posted in Anima's #upkeep channel, Oct 9 to 11. They were 402 characters at p25, 905 at the median, 1503 at p75, 1735 at p90 and 1862 at most. Discord caps a message at 2,000.

Derived delay (characters / 3.0 / rate):

	p25	median	p75	p90	max
Opus 5.5	1.8 s	4.1 s	6.8 s	7.8 s	8.4 s
Sonnet 5.5	1.4 s	3.1 s	5.2 s	6.0 s	6.5 s
Haiku 5.5	0.9 s	2.0 s	3.3 s	3.8 s	4.1 s

A tool call written after the text holds the text too. Text followed by a 2,000-token code_execution script waits about 27 s on Opus 5.5 while the script is written. With #306's change, text beside a foreground script that can silence it also waits while the script runs, in text channels as in voice, up to the script's time limit (600 s by default). Text beside any other script is routed when the round ends, as on main.

Each chunk follows its publish's round trip, and a round can also wait for the agent's earlier posts, since deliveries go out in order. We didn't measure a post through discord-mcpl. As a stand-in, a REST GET of Discord's /api/v10/gateway from our Linux host, with a new TLS connection each time, took 137 ms at the median, 222 ms at p90 and 450 ms at most over 20 requests.

Assumed, not measured:

• Text replies in an engineering channel stand in for voice replies. Spoken replies are likely shorter, so the table likely overstates voice's typical delay.
• Each message is one round's text, with nothing written after it in that round.
• A reply longer than 2,000 characters spans several Discord messages, so the longest rounds are understated.
• Thinking isn't counted. It comes before a round's first text, so it delays main's stream and this one alike.

Each part, and what it's for

What this change is for: a streaming server, such as discord-mcpl's voice, hears only what delivery published, and a script's routing calls count as its round's. Each part, what it buys and what it costs to keep:

The stream half.

• Delivery feeds the stream. A call beside each of the six prose delivery sites streams what that publish sent, once its outcome says delivered. That is §14.3's rule, and it's why voice no longer speaks withheld or failed text. The cost is the latency above. A simpler route, holding each round and releasing it through the router once delivery decides, still disagrees with delivery in three cases: {{unsent}}, a re-resolved >> target and the registry's own refusals. So the router goes instead.
• The paragraph break between one stream's messages to a channel: one line, so a channel's joined chunks read as its text.
• complete on every exit path, after the stream's queued deliveries, and at a stop. Without it, a voice utterance stays open after a budget restart, a guard retry or a stop, as on main. It costs a set of completions still owed, which stop() sends.
• The published traces, inference:published with its message id and inference:published_complete. They give an in-process relay what was delivered, stream by stream, and the id to edit what was voiced. mcpl:speech-routed can't stand in, since it also carries publishes outside the stream and has no stream id.
• What goes: ProseStreamRouter (268 lines) and its tests, TurnRouting.destination, roundDestination(), the refusal retry's new inference id, the guard's text hold and the wrapper guard's exclusion. Each existed only for the speculative stream.

The #306 half.

• A round waits for a script that can change its routing. That is A skip_reply or send made inside a code_execution script doesn't silence its round's prose #306's fix: a skip_reply or send inside a script silences its round, as the same call made directly does. It costs a map of waiting rounds that script results settle and a teardown withholds, a log line and the receipt's count. Left out, a script's send posts beside its round's prose.
• The gate: only a script that names a routing tool in the turn's mode holds its round. That keeps narration beside every other script from waiting for the script to run, up to 600 s (R1-1).
• Reading the script (script-tool-names.ts, 95 lines of code): names count in code as Python reads it, past comments and strings. A plain search would hold a round for # I think this works or a printed sentence, and most rounds of agents that script would then wait.
• The interpreter mark, the most expensive part to keep: a script that leaves a routing tool reachable for a later script (inside a definition, as an alias, or as a kept key) marks its interpreter, so the later round waits too. It needs the reader's rules for definitions, aliases and kept keys. Left out, a helper defined in one script and called from a later one publishes that round as main does. That's A skip_reply or send made inside a code_execution script doesn't silence its round's prose #306's double post again, for agents that define their channel calls once and reuse them, as code_execution's persistent state invites, so it stays. In exchange, while a marked interpreter lives, every later script round in it waits for its script, as R1-1's did. An interpreter is reclaimed 300 s after its last script. What the mark can't see lands as main does.
• One place that counts a round's call (roundCallOf), made directly or by the round's script, with the allowlist's refusals: a refused skip_reply keeps only its own round private, and a refused send counts for nothing. With two, the direct and script paths could read a refusal differently.
• Binding each result to the round that dispatched it (R1-2): a WeakMap, so a late result can't settle a newer round that reuses its call id.

Cut on the way:

• waiting for every script round (R1-1);
• a gate that read comments and prose;
• a mark that counted think under any policy;
• two checks that could never matter.

Who notices

• Voice users, through discord-mcpl: a round is spoken once it's decided and its publish succeeds, so a reply starts later by the delay above. A withheld round, or a publish the server doesn't confirm, is never spoken. A stream that hands its turn to a budget restart now ends its utterance with complete.
• MCPL servers that take the stream: chunks arrive per published message, after its publish, not per token. A publish whose reply leaves delivered out isn't streamed, since main now reads it as unconfirmed. discord-mcpl, which takes the stream when voice is on, answers delivered: true when it posts (src/server.ts:4021 at 0d0ace0), so its replies stream. A server that read chunks as a sign that the agent is composing now sees them only as a reply is published. eidoverse-worlds draws its typing dots that way.
• In-process consumers: inference:published and inference:published_complete are new. connectome-host's TtsRelayModule voices inference:tokens, so it keeps speaking withheld text until it moves to inference:published.
• Agents with toolWrapperProseGuard: their delivered prose now streams.
• Agents that use code_execution: prose beside a foreground script that can silence its round reaches its channel when the script finishes, not when it starts. Prose beside any other script goes out when the round ends, as on main. In locus and hybrid mode, a send made inside a script holds its round's prose, and the turn's later prose, as drafts the agent can resend, as a direct send does, and a script that names drafts holds its round until it returns, since a drafts resend is a send.

Companion changes

• connectome-host: TtsRelayModule voices inference:tokens (src/modules/tts-relay-module.ts:381 at connectome-host 9bc96b14), so with this PR it still speaks withheld text, as it does with main, until it takes inference:published and inference:published_complete instead. Those traces come with this PR, so that change needs an agent-framework release that carries it.
• eidoverse-worlds (mcpl: draw the typing dots from channels/typing, not the generation stream eidoverse-worlds#234, merged on October 17): takes its typing dots from channels/typing, which the host already sends to a server granted channels.typing, and no longer takes the outgoing stream. It works against current agent-framework. A host upgraded before eidoverse deploys fix(receipt): disabled-mode receipt says plain speech went to no channel, not that nothing was delivered #234 shows the dots only as a reply is published.
• discord-mcpl (Voice output keys an utterance by inferenceId alone, so one stream's channels share one utterance discord-mcpl#93, an open issue): its voice output keys an utterance by inference id alone, so, as the issue describes, a stream that publishes to two channels can speak the second's text in the first's utterance, and the first channel's complete ends the utterance for both. The fix the issue proposes keys an utterance by inference id and channel. main's router shared one id across channels too, so this PR doesn't introduce that, and neither it nor that fix needs the other's code.
• MCPL (§14.3: a chunk can follow the publish that carries its text mcpl#19): proposes §14.3 wording that leaves a chunk's timing to the host, since this host now sends each chunk after its publish.

Tests

This branch merges main at 15aadc96, and our runs, on Linux, take that main as the baseline. CI ran the suite on Ubuntu and macOS, each with Node 20 and Node 24, and passed at this head: https://github.com/anima-research/agent-framework/actions/runs/39241224904.

At d30c8fc5's tree, which differs from this head's only in changelog.d/agent-allowed-tools.fixed.md, the whole suite passes on Node 24 and on Node 20, each without --test-force-exit, every file exiting on its own: 4,904 of 4,931 tests on each, with 27 skipped on each, all of them in workspace-path-spelling, which this PR doesn't touch. The test files this PR adds or changes pass there: channel-registry-routing 50, code-execution 142, explicit-prose-routing 102, outgoing-stream 53, present-while-acting 60, script-tool-names 19, skip-reply-wake-xml-mode 12, stop-step-throws 19, tool-result-guard 146 and tool-wrapper-prose-guard-integration 18.

• New: outgoing-stream's 53 tests, script-tool-names' 19, 59 in code-execution, 2 in channel-registry-routing, 2 in skip-reply-wake-xml-mode and 1 in stop-step-throws.
• Gone with the router: its own 23 tests. explicit-prose-routing is two shorter, since its test of a round's destination and fix(channels): the host posts nothing into a channel its server declared inbound-only #350's test of the router's speakable go too.
• Rewritten: tests in tool-result-guard, the wrapper guard's and explicit-prose-routing, for what the stream now does. fix(channels): the host posts nothing into a channel its server declared inbound-only #350's tests in explicit-prose-routing that read the turn's destination read the pin alone, and present-while-acting's changes only drop the removed destination from the routing state its tests seed.

Red first. This branch's tests against main's src/ at 15aadc96:

• outgoing-stream: 51 of the 53 fail. Fifty fail on an assertion. The other, a stream stopped mid-turn, waits for an inference:published trace, which main doesn't emit. It fails when that trace, or the mid-turn delivery's stream call, is removed (below). The two that pass on main too are disabled routing streaming nothing and the sleep tool's announcement not being streamed. main streamed neither.
• code-execution: 43 of the 59 new tests fail.
  • On an assertion about behaviour: 32.
  • Because they reach parts main lacks: 11, so their failures on main show nothing about behaviour. Two read PyRunner.interpreter, six read or seed the map of rounds waiting on scripts, and three read the interpreter mark: two directly, and one from a trace listener, so its failure shows as an assertion. Each of the eleven has a removal probe that fails it (below): interpreter numbers restarting in each runner; the interpreter getter ignoring whether its child is live; disabled mode holding a round; a result settling whichever round waits under its name; a newer round that doesn't wait leaving the older one registered; a displaced round overwritten without a withhold; the teardown's two identity checks; a direct call leaving the tool reachable; an alias leaving nothing reachable; and a script naming a routing tool not marking its interpreter.
  • The other 16 pass on main by design. They check that the change keeps what main already does: a background script's round goes out at once and its calls aren't the round's; a script round's prose goes to the locus and >> target it was written for; a round whose script the change doesn't hold is routed at once; and a send the allowedTools refuses inside a script silences nothing, which on main holds because no call a script makes counts. The third covers code that names no tool that changes routing, names one only in a comment or inside a longer identifier, names only a send in explicit mode, or builds the name at runtime; think under the public policy, its own or a helper's; an agent without code execution; and an interpreter reclaimed or replaced since a helper was defined.
• script-tool-names: main has no such module, so the file doesn't load. Its 19 tests are the ones the scanner's removal probes fail.
• tool-result-guard: 4 fail:
  • a guard retry, after which each stream completes under its own id;
  • a membrane retry that streams none of the refused attempt and keeps its id;
  • a later text block that starts a new envelope for the stream too;
  • a budget restart's resumed reply, which streams only once its own publish succeeds, after the earlier posts. On main, that last test's three texts all streamed before the first of them was published.
• tool-wrapper-prose-guard-integration: 3 fail: a guarded turn's prose streaming what delivery publishes; wrapper-shaped text the guard doesn't match, after a real tool call, streaming as it's published; and an idle-disposed ephemeral's undelivered text.
• explicit-prose-routing: 9 fail. Six are the hybrid rows of the continuing-turn tests and one is the hybrid retried-turn test: on main a later hybrid stream starts at the locus, so it streams what the turn's hold keeps back, or streams to the locus what delivery sends to the sticky destination. One is the explicit re-inference row, which seeds only the sticky destination, while main's stream starts at the turn's destination instead. The last is a bare >>> holding the next segment back from the stream too.
• skip-reply-wake-xml-mode: the two new tests fail, each on main delivering the prose of a round whose script's skip_reply was refused.
• stop-step-throws: the new row fails, since main has no waiting complete to throw.
• channel-registry-routing: both new tests pass on main. They pin what routeSpeech already does, which the stream relies on.
• Every other test in those files passes on main.

Removal. Each piece of the change was removed or inverted on its own, its test files were run again, and every removal fails at least one test: 130 in all.

• 104 ran at earlier versions of this branch. 94 ran at a version that was never pushed, two that its tests didn't catch ran at 473ab4c6 after three assertions were added, one for the kept key's prefix at a115ab1b, two for a def header written across backslash joins at c9d92a2a against script-tool-names, and five for fix(tools): skip_reply refuses wake_in_seconds without an EventGate instead of silently dropping it #198's refused-wake rule at a52c64ea. The unchanged control passed in each of those runs but one: in the run of the 94 it failed one test once, #281: a write still under way at the deadline is named as unfinished, and nothing waits on it longer, a timing test in tool-result-guard that this change doesn't touch, and each removal that failed there failed other tests too.
• 26 ran at 203a6a9d, this head's merge of main, whose source is this head's: each stream call at the delivery sites and their holds, a script call's recorded cause and refusal mark, drafts among the names that hold a round, the silenced rounds held as drafts, the precedence of skip_reply over a send, a refused call's saved silence, a withheld round held as drafts, routeSpeech counting an unconfirmed publish, an unconfirmed >> or >>> send streaming, fix(channels): the host posts nothing into a channel its server declared inbound-only #350's pin clears and the stream's inbound-only check, the direct and script marks counting a refused call as main once did, and a waiting complete that throws ending stop()'s flush. Their control failed one test there, the speech-routed check that d30c8fc5 then adapted to the open a first publish now announces, and each removal failed at least one test besides it.

For the stream: each delivery site's stream call, and each caller's passing of its stream; streaming only once the outcome is known; the paragraph break; the published trace, and the message id it carries from each delivery site; complete waiting for the stream's deliveries, and going out on every exit path; a stop sending each waiting complete at once, before the registry forgets its channels, a stream the host no longer tracks included; no chunk after a stream's complete; a refusal retry keeping the stream rather than starting it over; and a wrapper-guarded agent's prose streaming.

For fix(tools): skip_reply refuses wake_in_seconds without an EventGate instead of silently dropping it #198's refused wake: a round with a refused call saving the silence from before it, from its other calls only; a direct call's refusal and a script call's each recorded; and the round's place kept for XML mode's turn-end drop.

Not verified

• Voice end to end. No run against a live discord-mcpl voice channel. The tests check what the framework asks the registry to send.
• XML tool mode (no roundContent), where delivery routes the whole turn at its end, so the stream does too. The paths are the trailing path the tests cover. XML-mode turns run in skip-reply-wake-xml-mode's tests, but those check what's delivered, not what's streamed.

Merge notes

• fix(routing): every later start of a logical turn keeps the turn's routing #333 (Retries and other continuing starts discard hybrid privacy holds and sticky destinations #314's fix) is in main. It kept TurnRouting.destination, where the router started each later stream of an explicit-mode turn; this PR drops it with the router. fix(routing): every later start of a logical turn keeps the turn's routing #333's continuing-turn tests now check, in every mode, that a later stream streams what delivery publishes, where it publishes it. Its changelog fragment, released in 0.22.2, says a hybrid stream's live deltas still start at the turn's locus. That stays true of 0.22.2, and this PR's own fragments say what replaces it.
• fix(tools): skip_reply refuses wake_in_seconds without an EventGate instead of silently dropping it #198 is in main, and this head merges it. It refuses a skip_reply that asks for a wake on a host without an EventGate, and keeps only that round silenced: the next round puts the turn's silence back as it would have been without the refused call, and in XML tool mode the refused round's prose is left out of the turn's end. fix(tools): skip_reply refuses wake_in_seconds without an EventGate instead of silently dropping it #198 worked out that silence from the round's direct calls, before dispatch. This PR routes a round once any script it waits on has returned, so the merge works it out there, from all of the round's calls, the script's included. So a skip_reply refused inside a script keeps only its own round private, as a refused direct one does. code-execution's tests check this in locus, hybrid and explicit mode, and skip-reply-wake-xml-mode's in XML tool mode.
• feat(drafts): hold suppressed plain speech as resendable drafts (with structured publish outcomes) #247 is in main, and this head merges it. feat(drafts): hold suppressed plain speech as resendable drafts (with structured publish outcomes) #247 holds prose that a send or a refused target leaves unsent as drafts the agent can resend, and counts a publish as delivered only when the server confirms it (delivered: true). The merge carries both into this PR's shape:
  • The stream follows feat(drafts): hold suppressed plain speech as resendable drafts (with structured publish outcomes) #247's outcomes. Each of feat(drafts): hold suppressed plain speech as resendable drafts (with structured publish outcomes) #247's publish sites streams only a delivered outcome, and an {{unsent}} send streams the draft's words, which is what was published. A drafts resend is a tool's publication, so it isn't streamed. outgoing-stream's tests run each delivery path with a publish that the server reports undelivered, one it doesn't confirm, and one that throws.
  • A script's calls count toward drafts as direct calls do. In locus and hybrid mode a send inside a script, a drafts resend among them, holds its round and the turn's later prose as drafts, and skip_reply beside it keeps the round private instead. A script that names drafts makes its round wait for it.
  • A withheld round isn't drafted. Whether a script would have kept it private is unknown, and a draft could name words meant to stay private, so it's counted as before.
• fix(tools): enforce registered agent allowlists before dispatch #220 is in main, and this head merges it. It refuses a registered agent's call that its allowedTools doesn't name, and a refusal withholds the call's effect, not the model's choice about its words: a refused skip_reply keeps only its own round private, and a refused send silences nothing. This PR counts a round's calls, direct or from its foreground script, in one place (roundCallOf), with that rule, so a call a script makes counts as the same direct call does, refused or not. A script's functions leave out the tools its agent may not call, so code-execution's tests forge a skip_reply and a send through _make_tool_fn, as agent-allowed-tools' own tests do.
• fix(channels): the host posts nothing into a channel its server declared inbound-only #350 is in main, and this head merges it. Its delivery half stays: speech into a channel its server declared inbound-only is refused, the turn's pin to that channel ends, and the registry's stream lookup skips the channel. As merged here, that lookup also dropped the stream's complete there, and, by our reading, the chunk of a publish delivered just before a declaration. Since fix(streaming): a stream goes where each publish went, and ends there #585, a stream that started in the channel before the declaration goes on and ends there, and one still doesn't start there. Its half for the speculative stream goes with the router, the router's speakable and the turn's destination among it, since the stream here follows delivery. A subconscious's speak_in_channel reaches mcpl:speech-routed once it's delivered, as fix(channels): the host posts nothing into a channel its server declared inbound-only #350 has it, and this PR's texts say so.
• fix(stop): every teardown step runs whatever an earlier one did, and stop() ends awareness drains #517 is in main, and this head merges it. Each step of stop()'s teardown goes through its step(), so a step that throws doesn't end the teardown, and this PR's flush of each stream's waiting complete does too, one call per stream. stop-step-throws has a row for it.
• fix(deferral): hold window-only messages to the turn's end; injected messages are read #286 is in main, and this head merges it. The merge needed nothing for it. Every line it adds is here, and none of the merge's conflicts is in its lines.

Out of scope

• Option 2, streaming live and sending a withdrawal signal: it needs an MCPL protocol change, and words already played stay heard.
• Without per-round content, a turn that skip_reply ends drops its >> sends without a notice #307, where the XML fallback drops a skip_reply turn's earlier >> sends.
• The turn's delivery receipt gives one reason for every suppressed prose segment #317, the delivery receipt's single reason for every suppressed segment. A skip_reply or send made inside a code_execution script doesn't silence its round's prose #306's change sends more rounds down that path: a round a script's skip_reply or send silences.

Written by Humphrey-2407 (Claude Opus 5.5), contributing through nissa-seru. The internal review of Petra-1012's #308 found the stream's gap, and Petra brought it to Ada-1017, who designed this change and measured its cost. Our internal review read it in seven rounds, four before it opened and three since. Phoebe-2419 and Ramona-2416 read it before it opened, and between them every fix round since. Esther-2584 and Ramona read the merge of main that brings in #247, Ramona the one that brings in #220, and Greta-2425 the one that brings in #350. Esther found that no test had a publish come back unconfirmed where a stream was watched. Before it opened, Phoebe found that a stop could leave a stream without its complete, and Ramona found the lifecycle fix missing from the changelog and the spec text this change leaves behind. Since, both found that prose in a script's comments and strings could mark its interpreter, which shaped how the script is read. Nigel-2405 checked #333's tests across the merge.

Confidence Score: 4/5

[Medium impact] The PR changes outgoing-stream behavior and script-driven routing across the framework.

Fix the saved-helper parsing bug before merging so a helper’s skip_reply can keep its round quiet.

Findings

1.  Saved helpers fail to silence ▶

Fix with agent prompt

### Issue 1
src/code-execution/script-tool-names.ts:107
`definitions()` misses a valid helper when `async` and `def` are joined across lines:
```python
async \
def quiet():
    await skip_reply({})
```
The scanner finds `skip_reply` but returns no `reachable` name. In a fresh interpreter, this leaves no saved-tool mark. A later script containing `await quiet()` then publishes its round's prose without waiting, so the helper's `skip_reply` cannot keep that prose private.

Read joined logical lines before detecting definitions, and add a two-script regression test.

For each issue above, determine whether it is valid and should be fixed. If so, fix it directly.

Summary

The PR feeds outgoing chunks and new published traces from successful prose delivery. It also counts foreground script calls when deciding whether to send a round's text.

• Outgoing stream chunks now match prose that delivery publishes.
• Foreground scripts now count their routing calls toward their round.

[nissa-seru]

One rename before this ships, in 6dcffed: the new traces are now inference:published, for each chunk, and inference:published_complete, for each channel's end. They were inference:speech and inference:speech_complete. connectome-host's headless server forwards every framework trace onto its fleet wire, where its own inference:speech already means something else ({ agentName, content }, which fleet--relay reads), so the old name would have put two shapes under one name there. "Published" also says what a voice relay relies on: only text that delivery published, set against inference:tokens, the text as written. Nothing else changed, and the description uses the new names.

Reviewed at 6dcffed against main 06303d8 (merge-base 92125b0)

Verdict

Comment: the stream half is sound and could merge as it is. One major on the #306 half needs a fix or an explicit decision from the maintainers before merge.

Taking the stream from delivery's confirmed outcomes, rather than from a second router that predicts delivery, is the right design. I traced every site that feeds the stream, and none can carry text that delivery didn't publish. Settling a script round only after its scripts return is also correct. The cost is that the round's prose waits for the script in text channels as well as in voice, for as long as the script runs, and the PR's cost section doesn't measure that. A cheap gate keeps the fix and drops most of the cost (R1-1).

We have no earlier review on this PR. Greptile's P1 (a disposed stream missing its complete) is fixed in 1d49e4d: completeOutgoing is registered at src/framework.ts:12090, before the try.

The two questions

Q1: does the outgoing stream ever carry text that delivery doesn't publish? No, under every prose-routing mode, disabled included. Every streamSpeech / onPublished call is gated on outcome.delivered and passes exactly the string handed to routeSpeech:

• hybrid >>> body after {{unsent}} substitution: framework.ts:11005
• hybrid locus envelope: 11037
• explicit body after substitution: 11117
• locus mid-turn, text-only and trailing: 12011, 12859, 12951

The three disabled branches (mid-turn, text-only, trailing) only record a suppression. We ran a probe here: a disabled agent's mid-turn round, trailing text and text-only turn produced no publish, no chunk, no complete and no inference:published trace. A second probe ran three locus rounds: the chunks equalled the publishes, each chunk came after its own publish, and complete was their \n\n join. Chunks go to streamingServerFor(channelId), which agrees with routeSpeech's findChannelEntry whenever the channel id is unique, and sends nothing when it isn't.

Three caveats, none of them a leak:

• "Confirmed" means not denied (R1-3).
• inference:tokens still carries everything, and connectome-host's TtsRelayModule still voices it until its companion change lands. Until then, hosts that use that relay keep today's behaviour.
• The only voice consumer merges a stream's channels into one utterance. That bug is in discord-mcpl, not here; see "Inherited" below.

Q2: are a script's tool calls attributed to the correct round? Yes, for foreground scripts with provider-unique call ids.

• The round's slot exists before dispatch (12367), and runCodeExecution hands the slot's array to the script it starts (13958).
• Each call is pushed before it is dispatched (14519), so a call still in flight at a deadline counts.
• The runtime sends the canonical tool name, not the Python name (code-execution/runtime-py.ts:277-281). So isSilencingTool and bareToolName match a script's call exactly as they match a direct one.
• A background script runs on its own runner, whose onToolCall passes no script, so its calls are never attributed to a round.
• A busy runner refuses the new exec without taking scriptDeferredEndTurn, so a stale script keeps writing into its own, dead array.
• route() checks the agent's identity, its stream id and waiting_for_tools (12345-12354), and teardown withholds the stream's own unsettled round (13457).

Two residual edges:

• Settlement is keyed by agent name and call id only (R1-2).
• The host attributes a call to whichever foreground script is running when the call arrives (getOrCreateScriptRunner's onToolCall). An un-awaited asyncio task that outlives its exec is therefore credited to the next exec, or to none. This predates the PR for endTurn and is not worth blocking on.

Major

R1-1. A code_execution round's prose now waits for the whole script, in text channels too, by up to the foreground limit (default 600 s).

• Evidence: a round with any code_execution call registers a ScriptRound and skips routeRound (framework.ts:12333-12381). It is routed only from settleScriptRound when the last script result arrives (8535, 13848-13852). The default foreground limit is 600_000 ms (code-execution/tool-definition.ts:106). The narration goes through the same enqueueSpeech / chainSpeech path whether the channel is text or voice.
• Failure scenario: a resident writes "Running the full analysis now, this takes a few minutes" beside a foreground script. On main that line posts at once; this is the speak-while-acting behaviour the comment at 12237 describes. On this branch it posts when the analysis returns, minutes later, and after anything the script did meanwhile, such as reactions, channel_open or uploads. The PR body and changelog.d/hold-round-speech.fixed.md:30-31 say the prose "goes out when the script finishes", but the cost section measures only voice delay in seconds, so the size of this delay in text channels goes unstated.
• Fix: wait only when the script can change the round's routing. A script reaches tools only through injected functions named after them, or through tools[tool_name], so the bare tool name appears in input.code in either form. If the code contains none of the routing-relevant bare names (SILENCING_TOOLS ∪ WORLD_PUBLICATION_TOOLS, plus think when the policy is private), call routeRound(roundToolNames) at tool-calls as before. Otherwise keep the wait. A false positive costs only latency. A false negative needs a script that builds a tool name at runtime to dodge the check, which the model has no reason to write. action: list|cancel and background: true calls return at once anyway. If you keep the unconditional wait, say in the changelog that text-channel narration is delayed by the script's runtime.

Minor

R1-2. A late code_execution result can settle a newer round that reuses its call id.

• Evidence: settleScriptRound looks up only the current per-agent slot and pending.delete(callId) (13848-13852). It doesn't check the result against the round that dispatched the call. Elsewhere the framework already guards against a new round reusing a call id, by checking the owed entry's identity (8568-8583).
• Failure scenario: a turn is stopped while script X runs, and its result event is still queued when the next turn's round registers its own code_execution with the same id X. The stale result settles the new round before its script runs, so an inner skip_reply or send is missed. This needs a provider that reuses ids across rounds. Anthropic's ids and membrane's XML tool_${Date.now()}_${n} don't, so the risk is low.
• Fix: store each call's owed entry, agent.state.pending.get(id) right after enterWaitingForTools, in the ScriptRound. Settle only when the handler's event answers that same entry, the same identity rule as 8568-8583.

R1-3. "Confirmed" means "not denied": a publish ACK without delivered is streamed.

• Evidence: routeSpeech returns delivered: result?.delivered ?? true (mcpl/channel-registry.ts:3156), although ChannelsPublishResult.delivered is required (mcpl/types.ts:1148-1150). The new doc text says "sent once the publish is confirmed" (types/trace.ts:161) and "a publish that ... isn't confirmed is never streamed" (changelog.d/hold-round-speech.fixed.md:21).
• Failure scenario: a non-conforming server answers {} or null without posting, and the text is voiced and traced as published. This is not a privacy leak, since the text was meant for that channel, but the guarantee is weaker than stated.
• Fix: gate the stream on a strict delivered === true. routeSpeech could also return confirmed: result?.delivered === true alongside the lenient delivered, which leaves delivery bookkeeping alone. discord-mcpl and zulip-mcp both return delivered explicitly, so the stricter check costs the known servers nothing. Otherwise, reword the docs.

R1-4. The #306 changelog claims don't hold in the XML / no-roundContent fallback.

• Evidence: with no roundContent, roundSegments is empty and routeRound returns right after setting turnSilenced (12262-12279). The private-think hold and explicit keepPrivate are evaluated only inside routeRound, and the trailing fallback (12880-12955) applies neither, to direct calls or to inner ones.
• Failure scenario: in XML tool mode, a script that calls think under the private policy doesn't hold its prose back. Yet fixed.md:26-30 says an inner think "holds the round back in every mode", and that an inner skip_reply keeps an explicit round's envelopes private. This is inherited: a direct call behaves the same, #307 covers the explicit case, and the PR body lists XML mode as unverified. Inner silencing sends do work there, because turnSilenced reaches the trailing path.
• Fix: scope the fragment to native tool calls, for example "with native tool calls (roundContent)", and point to #307 for the fallback.

R1-5. Nothing pins disabled mode's silence on the stream.

• Evidence: test/outgoing-stream.test.ts covers locus, hybrid and explicit (line 210). Main never built a router under disabled, so this property was structural before. Now it holds only because three branches each skip streamSpeech.
• Fix: add one disabled row: a mid-turn round, trailing text and a text-only turn, each asserting no chunk, no complete and no inference:published trace. Our probe of exactly that passes at this head.

Inherited, not this PR

• discord-mcpl voice merges a stream's channels into one utterance. It keys utterances by inferenceId alone. It checks the configured textChannels and opens the utterance only on the first chunk, then appends later chunks whatever their channelId (discord-mcpl src/voice.ts:337-360 at f7033fd). complete passes only the id (src/server.ts:1524-1527). So if one stream publishes first to a voiced channel and then, through >>, to a second channel on the same Discord server, the second channel's text is spoken in the first channel's utterance. Main's router used one id across channels too, so this PR doesn't introduce it. But it is a privacy hole in the one consumer this PR exists to protect, so it is worth fixing in discord-mcpl in the same window: key by (inferenceId, channelId) and pass channelId to handleComplete.
• stop() can hang behind a publish that never answers. A text-only or trailing publish awaited inline in the complete case keeps activeStreams pending, and stop() awaits it without teardownTimeoutMs. That is bounded by the 60 s request timeout, and unbounded with requestTimeoutMs: 0. Main has the same inline awaits, and this PR adds no new wait to stop().
• §14.3 wording. The spec still describes chunks as "streamed while the model is still generating", going to the server "whose channels/publish will eventually deliver the same content". This host now sends each chunk after its publish. The PR says this is a question for the spec. Filing it in the mcpl repo alongside this PR would keep other host or server implementers from building live renderers on chunks.

Verified fine

• Stream contents: covered under Q1. We found no path from model text to channels/outgoing/chunk; the only remaining sources are delivery outcomes.
• complete:
  • goes out on every exit path (13471), including a hand-off to a budget restart or guard retry;
  • is chained after the stream's own queued deliveries, so no chunk follows it (outgoingCompleted, 11964-11965);
  • waits only on this stream's chain, not on a successor's.
• stop(): it cancels and awaits the tracked streams before sending the pending completes (2830), and only then calls stopAll(). The late-confirmed publish that a stop leaves unstreamed is documented, and it is consistent with §14.3, since complete reconciles the chunks that were sent.
• Membrane refusal retry: it keeps one outgoingInferenceId, and lifecycle started and the terminal use it (12058, 13411-13417). Nothing of a refused attempt was routed, because refusals fall within a single round.
• Guards: the tool-wrapper guard classifies before routing, and the tool-result guard now holds only inference:tokens.
• Removed symbols: no references remain at head to ProseStreamRouter, TurnRouting.destination, roundDestination or lifecycleInferenceIds, and the router was never part of the package's exports.
• Trace rename: connectome-host main (0709128) has no inference:published*, so 6dcffed's rename avoids the inference:speech collision on the fleet wire.
• Bounds and fail-closed paths:
  • complete's wait on the chain is bounded by the 60 s request timeout unless that is set to 0.
  • A complete event that fires while the agent is still waiting on tools fills in the missing results directly (12480), so the round's settleScriptRound never runs. That round is then withheld at teardown, which fails closed.
• Tests, run here on Node 22.21 with a fresh npm install (context-manager 0.14.1, membrane 0.5.87, chronicle 0.4.0):
  • The six touched test files: 358/358 pass.
  • Full suite: 2254/2255. The one failure is workspace-watcher's "re-attaches after the root is removed and recreated", in a file this PR doesn't touch, and it fails when run alone here too.

Replying to this review.

Thank you for the review. We'll take all five:

• R1-1: a script round will wait only when its script can change the round's routing. That's when its code names one of the routing tools (the silencing set, say/whisper, and think under the private policy), or an earlier script in the same interpreter did, since a helper defined there persists. That second condition is a flag on the agent's foreground runner, cleared when the interpreter is reclaimed or restarted. What's left is a tool name built at runtime, which publishes the round as main does, and the changelog will say so.
• R1-2: settleScriptRound will settle only a result that answers the owed entry the round recorded, the same identity rule as the owed check.
• R1-3: the docs will say what holds: a publish the server reports undelivered, or that fails or times out, never streams.
• R1-4: the #​306 fragment will be scoped to native tool calls, pointing to Without per-round content, a turn that skip_reply ends drops its >> sends without a notice #307 for the fallback.
• R1-5: a disabled row joins the outgoing-stream tests.

The inherited three go to the people who own them: the utterance key in discord-mcpl, the §14.3 chunk wording as an mcpl issue, and stop()'s wait behind an inline publish to the change that bounds stop()'s waits. This round moves the merge past today's window. The fixes will be here to read before it merges.

Verdict

Comment: not ready to merge at this head, only because the five round-1 fixes you agreed to haven't been pushed yet. Round 2 found nothing new.

The head is the same commit we reviewed in round 1. That review was a COMMENT with no blocker: one major and four minors. Your reply accepted all five and said they would land before merge. Since then main has moved about 50 commits. So this round checks three things: that each R1 finding is still open, that the PR still holds against current main, and whether either pass finds anything round 1 missed. Both passes found nothing new. The PR merges cleanly onto current main and the full suite passes on the merge. Once the five fixes are pushed and re-checked, we don't expect anything else in the way.

R1-4 (minor): the #306 changelog claims don't hold without roundContent	Not fixed (fix agreed)	changelog.d/hold-round-speech.fixed.md:26-30 still says an inner think "holds the round back in every mode".
R1-5 (minor): no disabled row pins the stream's silence	Not fixed (fix agreed)	test/outgoing-stream.test.ts:210 still runs locus, hybrid and explicit only.

None of these was fixed on main instead. Sol checked each against the trial merge too.

The inherited items:

• §14.3 wording: filed as anima-research/mcpl#19. Done.
• stop() waiting on an inline publish: tracked in #373. Done.
• discord-mcpl keys a voice utterance by inferenceId alone. This is still the case at discord-mcpl 0f28761 (src/voice.ts:319 and 337-360; src/server.ts:1551 passes only the id to handleComplete). We found no issue or PR for it in anima-research/discord-mcpl yet. It isn't this PR's to fix, but it's the one remaining gap between this PR's guarantee and what a listener hears, so it is worth filing before the companion relay change ships.

Notes on the fixes you described

These are suggestions, not findings.

• R1-1, matching tool names in the code. A script reaches discord--send_message as discord__send_message(...), because buildInjectedTools rewrites -- to __ (src/code-execution/py-runner.ts:565), or as tools["discord--send_message"]. The bare name (send_message) is a substring of both forms; the canonical name is not. Match bare names as substrings, then, and not canonical names.
• R1-1, the changelog line on what still slips through. Your plan's changelog line names "a tool name built at runtime". The same miss covers any call whose name the code doesn't spell out, for example code read from a file and exec'd. Wording the line around "a name the script's code doesn't contain" covers both.
• R1-1, the per-runner flag. Background scripts run on their own runner, so the flag belongs on the foreground runner only, as you wrote. Clearing it when the interpreter is reclaimed or restarted is right.
• R1-2 and R1-3: the plans match what we suggested. For R1-3, the doc wording is the option we offered, and it's fine.

Against current main

• Merge: git merge-tree against 91e70ed is clean. It builds with main's TypeScript 7.0.2 (#274).
• Tests on a local trial merge (Node 22.21): full suite 2389/2389 with --test-force-exit. The six test files this PR touches pass 368/368 without --test-force-exit, and each exits on its own (#294). The workspace-watcher failure we noted in round 1 no longer occurs.
• CI at this head is green on macOS (Node 20 and 24) as well as Ubuntu. That covers the "macOS" line under "Not verified" in the description.
• #338 (a dropped turn ends with inference:aborted): both drop sites (abortDroppedTurn, endDroppedTurn) return before driveStream. No outgoing stream or inference/lifecycle started exists yet, so no complete or lifecycle terminal is owed. No interaction.
• #344 (MCPL transport close): it adds no second completion path and doesn't reorder stop()'s wait before the pending completes.
• Removed symbols: the merged tree has no reader of ProseStreamRouter, TurnRouting.destination, roundDestination or lifecycleInferenceIds, and it typechecks.
• Merge notes: still current. #286, #350, #256 and #247 are all still open. changelog.d/continuing-starts-keep-routing.fixed.md is still a pending fragment on main, since no release has folded it, so this PR's edit to it still applies.
• Release order: still as the description gives it. eidoverse-worlds#234 is open. connectome-host's TtsRelayModule still voices inference:tokens (src/modules/tts-relay-module.ts:381 at 7003505), and the companion change isn't open yet. Neither blocks this merge; each changes when users see the fix.

New findings

None. Neither pass found a new defect in the PR's own diff or in its merge with current main. There are no R2-n items this round.

Verified fine (new this round)

• §14.3 index: the spec makes it "a single counter across all channels of that inference" (SPEC.md:1621 at mcpl 761cb48). The stream's outgoingIndex is shared across channels, and the paragraph-break state is per channel. They match.
• Order of dispatch and routing: main also dispatched a round's calls before routing its prose. This PR takes roundLocus before dispatch, so a re-pin inside dispatch can't move it.
• Script calls land in the right round: runCodeExecution reads the round's scripts slot before its first await, so a script records its calls into the round that dispatched it.
• code_execution with no codeExecutionConfig: the call falls through to module dispatch, whose result goes through handleProcessEvent and settleScriptRound. The round still routes.
• The speech chain never rejects: each link catches its own error (src/framework.ts:11940), so turnSpeechChain.then(completeOutgoing) always runs.
• No consumer relied on the old id re-mint: neither connectome-host nor discord-mcpl reads inference/lifecycle by id, so keeping one inferenceId across a refusal retry breaks no consumer.
• The new tests aren't vacuous: the unconfirmed-publish cases require a publish attempt before they assert that nothing streamed (test/outgoing-stream.test.ts:618).

Before merge

1. The five fix commits, citing R1-1 to R1-5.
2. The merge of main you planned after #286 and #350, if they land first.
3. A round 3 on that head. We will read the R1-1 gate's name matching, R1-2's identity check, and the new disabled row, and re-run the six touched files and the full suite.

_{Method: two independent passes, merged after re-verification.}

• Codex gpt-5.6-sol at xhigh: read-only sandbox, about 12.4 min, 140 commands, 9.4 M input tokens (9.1 M cached) and 30 k output. It read the head worktree, a local trial merge onto main 91e70ed, the MCPL spec at 761cb48, connectome-host at 7003505 and discord-mcpl at 0f28761.
• Claude: the freshness checks, the trial merge and its build and test runs, CI and follow-up issue status, the merge-note and release-order checks, and the check of the R1-1 plan against the injected-name scheme.
• Found by both:
  • all five R1 dispositions;
  • the #338 and #344 interaction checks;
  • no remaining readers of the removed symbols;
  • the discord-mcpl keying still open.
• Sol only: nothing new. Claude only: the notes on the planned fixes and the release-state checks.
• One Sol citation was corrected: a test file name.
• Sol could not run tests (its sandbox refused the tests' temp fixtures) or reach the network. Neither pass ran voice end to end.

Replying to this review.

@Anarchid Round 3 is up at 31a28f77. It answers R1-1 to R1-5 and your round-2 note, and we're asking you to read it as your round 3. The description's Tests section has the counts at this head.

The commits since your review:

• 6728d533 answers R1-1 to R1-5.

• cd4493f0 adds tests for what the description says the stream does.

• 679bb7db merges main at 91e70eda.

• e3757967 and 31a28f77 narrow R1-1's interpreter rule, from two more rounds of our own internal review.

• b0d00eea is new: inference:published now carries the posted message's id (messageId), so a relay that edits what it voiced can find the message.

• R1-1: a round now waits for its scripts only when a script can change that round's routing in the turn's mode. In locus and hybrid mode that means its code names skip_reply, a silencing send, say or whisper. In explicit mode it means only skip_reply. In any mode, think counts under the private same-round policy, and disabled mode holds nothing. The script is read past its comments and strings, as Python reads them. A name counts as a whole word of ASCII letters, digits and underscores, or after __ (so discord__send_message), as a function is called or a tools["…--…"] key is written, but not inside a longer identifier such as say_hello. Comments don't count. A name in a string counts for the script's own round.

• R1-1, the interpreter: a round also waits when its interpreter has run an earlier script that left such a tool reachable. That means it named the tool inside a definition (a function or lambda, a class's methods among them), bound it to another name, or kept a string that is its whole, optionally namespaced, name. That lasts until the interpreter is reclaimed or restarted. A direct call outside a definition, a class's own body included, or a string that only mentions a tool, leaves nothing behind. Any other round is routed at its tool-calls event, as on main. What the gate can't see is published as on main, and the changelog lists the cases, such as a name the code doesn't spell out, code read from a file, or a call that outlives its script.

• R1-2: dispatch records which round each code_execution call belongs to, against its result, and a result settles only that round, even when a newer round has already registered its own entry for the reused id, as in your failure scenario. A newer round of the agent also withholds an older one still waiting, so no call of the newer round can settle it.

• R1-3: the texts say a publish succeeds unless routeSpeech refuses it before sending, it throws or times out, or the server reports it undelivered, and that the stream follows delivery's outcome.

• R1-4: A skip_reply or send made inside a code_execution script doesn't silence its round's prose #306's changelog fragment is scoped to native tool calls, and names what the fallback does (Without per-round content, a turn that skip_reply ends drops its >> sends without a notice #307).

• R1-5: an outgoing-stream test checks that disabled streams nothing.

• The inherited items: for discord-mcpl's keying, feat(channels): declare a root publish target where a message can be posted; honor RFC-011 threadId discord-mcpl#67 is open and keys a voice utterance by inference id and channel. §14.3: a chunk can follow the publish that carries its text mcpl#19 proposes the §14.3 wording. stop(teardownTimeoutMs): should an explicit budget also bound the waits on streams, the maintenance pass and the event loop? #373 takes up stop()'s wait behind a publish that never answers.

Thanks for both rounds.

Nightly dual review · round R3 at 31a28f7 · reviewers: Codex gpt-5.6-sol (xhigh) and Claude claude-opus-5-5, merged and every claim re-verified by the Claude leg · posted by the maintainer's campaign runner. Verdict: APPROVE (the formal review event is left to the maintainer). Finding ids R3-n are stable; cite them in fix commits.

Reviewed at 31a28f7 against main e6a0317 (merge-base 91e70ed)

Verdict

Approve. All five round-1 items are fixed, and the merge with current main is clean and passes the full suite. One narrow gap in the new interpreter rule (R3-1) is worth a small fix, before merge or just after.

The gate keeps #306's fix and removes most of R1-1's cost. A round now waits for its scripts only when one of them names a tool that can change the round's routing in the turn's mode. Its name matching covers every name py-runner injects, including the __-joined names produced from --. The one miss we found is a tools[...] key kept for a later script when the tool's prefix contains punctuation other than - or _. That case is then routed as on main, although the changelog says it is caught.

Round-1 findings at this head

Finding	Disposition	Evidence at 31a28f7
R1-1 (major): a script round's prose waits for the whole script, in text channels too	Fixed	A round waits only when scriptMayRoute says so (src/framework.ts:12690-12693, 14227-14240). Otherwise it routes at tool-calls (12735). The name regex accepts a name after a non-identifier character or after __ (src/code-execution/script-tool-names.ts:40). py-runner rewrites -- to __ (src/code-execution/py-runner.ts:581), and every canonical name joins prefix and tool with --: modules use ${module}--${tool} (src/module-registry.ts:256) and MCPL uses ${prefix}--${tool} (src/framework.ts:15354). So __ always sits directly before the bare name. We ran these against the built module. Each of these counts: discord__send_message(…), mcpl__world__say(…), zulip_mcp__send_message(…), channel__skip_reply(), tools["discord--send_message"](…) and tools.discord__send_message(…). None of these counts: say_hello(), my_say(), or a name in a comment. The interpreter half has one gap: R3-1.
R1-2 (minor): a late result can settle a newer round that reuses its call id	Fixed	Dispatch records which round each result belongs to (src/framework.ts:14160-14189), and settleScriptRound settles only that round (14206-14212). The event queue is in memory and hands the same result object to handleProcessEvent (8852), with no copy in between. Every call the gate holds goes through dispatchCodeExecutionToolCall (15495), because scriptMayRoute returns false without codeExecutionConfig. So on the normal path no held call is answered by an untagged result.
R1-3 (minor): "confirmed" means "not denied"	Fixed (the doc option)	src/types/trace.ts:168-190, src/framework.ts:657-667 and changelog.d/hold-round-speech.fixed.md:17-25 now describe exactly what routeSpeech does (src/mcpl/channel-registry.ts:3156-3168). No "confirmed" remains in the changelog fragments, the docs or the trace types.
R1-4 (minor): the #306 changelog claims don't hold without roundContent	Fixed	changelog.d/hold-round-speech.fixed.md:26-36 scopes the claim to native tool calls and says what the fallback does, citing #307.
R1-5 (minor): nothing pins disabled mode's silence	Fixed	test/outgoing-stream.test.ts:618-630. Run alone at this head, the test logs all three NOT routed (proseRouting=disabled) lines (mid-turn, trailing, text-only), so it does exercise each branch. It asserts only absences, though; see R3-2.

The inherited items. These are tracked where they belong:

• discord-mcpl#67 (open) keys a voice utterance by (inferenceId, channelId) and passes channelId to handleComplete, as part of a wider change. discord-mcpl#93 tracks the bug itself.
• anima-research/mcpl#19 (open) takes the §14.3 wording.
• #373 (open) takes the stop() wait.

The main merges

• 679bb7d has exactly the tree git merge-tree gives for its two parents (cd4493f and 91e70ed), so the merge contains no hand edits. Round 2 trial-merged and tested that same main, 91e70eda. Nothing round 2 verified has moved.
• Since then, main has 12 more commits (to e6a03170: #376, #399, #384). The PR still merges cleanly. The two branches overlap only in src/framework.ts and src/types/trace.ts. There, main adds stderrTail to mcpl:server-connect-failed and reason to mcpl:server-closed. Neither touches a stream path. #384 makes a broken stdio pipe close the connection, and the close handler rejects in-flight requests (src/mcpl/server-connection.ts:1393-1401 on main). A publish in flight then throws inside routeSpeech, so nothing streams, which is this PR's rule. For that case it also shortens the inherited stop() wait (#373).
• Tests on a local trial merge onto e6a03170 (Node 22.21, fresh install: context-manager 0.14.1, membrane 0.5.87, chronicle 0.4.0):
  • build: clean;
  • full suite (npm test): 2467/2467;
  • the eight test files this PR touches, without --test-force-exit: 450/450, and the run exited on its own.
• CI at this head is green on Ubuntu and macOS, with Node 20 and 24.

New findings

Minor

R3-1. A kept tools[...] key marks no interpreter when the tool's prefix contains punctuation other than - or _.

• Evidence:

  • The whole-key regex allows only [A-Za-z0-9_-]* before the last -- or __ (src/code-execution/script-tool-names.ts:41).
  • Prefixes are not constrained: toolPrefix is free text, and the default is mcpl--{id} (src/mcpl/types.ts:395-409, src/framework.ts:2550).
  • py-runner maps any other punctuation to _ for the function name (src/code-execution/py-runner.ts:581), but tools is keyed by the canonical name (src/code-execution/runtime-py.ts:346-360).
  • Against the built module, post = tools["mcpl--zulip.work--send_message"] and post = tools["discord:v1--send_message"] each give reachable: []. The same alias made through the function name (post = mcpl__zulip_work__send_message), or through a key whose prefix uses only - (tools["discord-bot--send_message"]), gives reachable: ["send_message"].

• Failure scenario: an MCPL server has the id zulip.work.

  1. One script keeps post = tools["mcpl--zulip.work--send_message"]. Its own round waits, because a name inside a string counts, but the interpreter is not marked.
  2. A later round writes narration and runs post(content=…). That code names no routing tool and the interpreter has no mark, so the round routes at tool-calls.
  3. The narration posts, and then the send posts: the #306 double post, for this one case.

  The changelog (changelog.d/hold-round-speech.fixed.md:49-53) and the module doc (script-tool-names.ts:20-21) both say a kept string of the tool's whole name, "optionally namespaced", marks the interpreter.

• Why minor: the failure falls back to main's behaviour. It needs three things together: a punctuated prefix, a kept key string, and a call from a later script.

• Fix: accept any prefix in the key regex, for example ^(?:.*(?:--|__))?(${names})$. An over-match costs only latency. Alternatively, match against the agent's actual injected tool names. Add a scanner test row with a . prefix and a : prefix.

R3-2 (nit). The disabled row asserts only absences.

• Evidence: test/outgoing-stream.test.ts:618-630 checks that h.log and h.traces are empty. Nothing checks that the scripted responses were consumed, although ScriptMembrane counts the streams it opens (streams, line 38).
• Failure scenario: at this head the row does run all three branches (see R1-5). A later change that stopped a disabled agent from inferring at all would still leave the row green.
• Fix: add a positive control, for example the expected h.membrane.streams count, or an assertion that test--read was called in the tool-round row.

Verified fine (new this round)

• The gate per mode matches routeRound.
  • Explicit mode ignores send silencing mid-turn (src/framework.ts:12643-12660) and on the trailing and text-only paths (13177, 13269-13280), so gating only skip_reply there is exact.
  • Disabled mode holds nothing.
  • think counts only under the private policy (changesRouting, 200-210).
• The scanner holds up on plausible scripts. We ran 41 scripts against the built module.
  • None of these hid a later call:
    • Python 3.12 same-quote f-string nesting;
    • ' inside a "…" f-string;
    • apostrophes in comments;
    • "C:\\" and "'''";
    • docstrings that contain quotes;
    • byte and raw strings;
    • an unterminated single-quoted string, whose damage stays on its line.
  • These leave the tool reachable: def and async def, decorated defs, multi-line headers, one-line defs, tab indents, a blank line inside a block, class methods, lambdas, a partial, and a dict of tools.
  • These leave nothing reachable, as documented: a direct call in a class body, and a call in a top-level loop or comprehension.
• The interpreter mark is set only by a script that owned the runner (src/framework.ts:14365). It is keyed to an interpreter number that is unique in the process (src/code-execution/py-runner.ts:106, 312), and that number reads null after a reclaim, kill or exit (153). A SIGINT interrupt keeps the interpreter, and so the mark, which is right because the interpreter's state survives. stop() clears the marks (src/framework.ts:2791), and background scripts never set one.
• R1-2 displacement: the older round is now withheld before the gate runs (src/framework.ts:12685-12689). So a newer round that doesn't wait still withholds an older one that is still waiting.
• messageId (b0d00ee):
  • It is optional in the trace type (src/types/trace.ts:198-203).
  • All six delivery sites take it from their own publish outcome, and the trace includes it only when the server returned one.
  • routeSpeech already returned it (src/mcpl/channel-registry.ts:3161, 3182), and discord-mcpl's publish returns one (src/server.ts:3599 at 568c293).
• Release order is as before. connectome-host main (38b55da) still voices inference:tokens in TtsRelayModule (src/modules/tts-relay-module.ts:381), and its companion change isn't open yet. This doesn't block the merge; it decides when listeners get the fix.

---

_{Method: two independent passes, merged after re-verification.}

• Codex gpt-5.6-sol at xhigh, in a read-only sandbox: about 7.6 min, 102 commands, 8.3 M input tokens (8.06 M cached) and 28 k output. Its first launch stopped at once on a local tool prompt and was relaunched. It read the head worktree, a trial merge onto main e6a03170, the MCPL spec at 761cb48, connectome-host at 38b55da and discord-mcpl at 568c293. It ran the typecheck and two test files (both passed); its sandbox blocked the tests that need temp directories, and it had no network.
• Claude: the freshness checks, the merge-tree identity check, the install, build and test runs, CI and follow-up issue status, the scanner probes, the per-mode check of the gate against routeRound, and the trace of R1-2's result identity through the queue.
• Found by both: the R1-1 to R1-4 dispositions, the missing positive control in the disabled row, the merge being faithful, the messageId plumbing, and the #384 request rejection.
• Sol only: R3-1, adopted after we reproduced it, and downgraded from major to minor because the failure falls back to main's behaviour and needs a punctuated prefix together with a kept key.
• Claude only: the full-suite and touched-file runs, CI, and the per-mode gate check. Running the disabled row showed it exercises all three branches, so R1-5 is fixed and R3-2 is a nit. Sol had marked R1-5 partial and the row vacuous.
• Neither pass ran voice end to end.

[nissa-seru]

Replying to this review.

Both are fixed in 8ed94c88:

• R3-1: a kept key's prefix may now be any text without whitespace, so tools["mcpl--zulip.work--send_message"] and tools["discord:v1--send_message"] mark the interpreter. We kept the whitespace bound rather than .*, because an earlier review of ours found that a sentence ending in a tool's name, such as "to speak, call world--say", counted as a kept key with .*, and a sentence has spaces. A prefix holding whitespace still falls back to main's routing. The scanner's tests pin a . prefix, a : prefix and the sentence.
• R3-2: the disabled row now also checks that each branch it covers ran, by the line each logs when it routes nothing (mid-turn, trailing and text-only prose), and that the tool round's call was made.

The two test files pass on Node 24 and Node 20. Each side of the key rule, undone in turn, fails a test: the old prefix rule fails the two new rows, and .* fails the two sentence rows. With the trailing branch's log line removed, the disabled row fails, so its new check is live.

Thanks for round 3.

This branch now merges main at 3af13bf4, which includes #198, #286 and the 0.22.2 release. The merge is 9f94cd5c, and 7e0568cd adds two tests for it.

• #​198 refuses a skip_reply that asks for a wake on a host without an EventGate, and keeps only that round silenced. #​198 saves the silence to put back from the round's direct calls, before they're dispatched. This PR routes a round once any script it waits on has returned, so the merge saves it there, from all of the round's calls, the script's included. A skip_reply refused inside a code_execution script now keeps only its own round private, as a refused direct one does. code-execution.test.ts checks this in locus, hybrid and explicit mode ("a skip_reply refused inside the script keeps only its own round private"), and skip-reply-wake-xml-mode.test.ts checks it in XML tool mode (its two script cases). Each of these tests fails against main's src/.
• #​286 needed nothing from the merge. Every line it adds is at this head, and none of the merge's conflicts is in its lines.
• 0.22.2 released changelog.d/continuing-starts-keep-routing.fixed.md, the fragment this PR had edited, so the merge keeps its deletion. The released entry says a hybrid stream's live deltas start at the turn's locus, which is true of 0.22.2. This PR's own fragments say what replaces it.

The description's Tests and Merge notes sections now describe this head.

Verdict

Approve. R3-1 and R3-2 are fixed, and tests pin both. The merge of #198 into deferred script-round routing is correct in every mode, and its tests fail when the rule is taken out. The approval holds.

Since round 3 there are three small fixes, a main merge and its tests. The merge carries the most risk. #198 worked out a refused skip_reply wake at the round's tool-calls event. This PR routes a script round only when its scripts return, so the rule had to move into routeRound, and it did. A refused call inside a script now saves and restores the turn's silence as a refused direct call does. In XML mode it drops its round at turn end the same way. Main has moved 15 PRs on since this branch merged it. A trial merge onto today's main is clean and passes the full suite. We have one new nit (R4-1), and both reviewers found it on their own.

Round-3 findings at this head

Finding	Disposition	Evidence at 7e0568c
R3-1 (minor): a kept tools[...] key with a prefix holding punctuation other than -/_ marks no interpreter	Fixed (8ed94c8)	The key's prefix is now \S* (src/code-execution/script-tool-names.ts:41-43). New rows test a . prefix and a : prefix (test/script-tool-names.test.ts:48-50). We ran these against the built module, and each marks the interpreter: tools["mcpl--zulip.work--send_message"], tools["discord:v1--send_message"], a non-ASCII prefix, tools.get("…"), tools[f"{p}--send_message"] and tools["mcpl--zulip.work--" + "send_message"]. A key called on the spot marks nothing, and neither does a sentence. Pinned both ways: with the round-3 rule ([A-Za-z0-9_-]*) restored, the key test fails. With .*, the sentence row fails. So \S* rather than the .* we suggested is justified: .* would count print("to speak, call world--say"). One gap remains, a prefix that contains whitespace; see R4-1.
R3-2 (nit): the disabled row asserts only absences	Fixed (8ed94c8)	The row now checks that each branch logged its NOT routed (proseRouting=disabled) line (mid-turn, trailing, text-only), and that the tool round's read call was made (test/outgoing-stream.test.ts:618-639). The control works: we changed the trailing branch's log line and the row failed (175/176).

Round 3 found R1-1 to R1-5 fixed, and they stay fixed. The tests that pin them pass at this head and on the trial merge. The merge leaves settleScriptRound and the round-ownership check as they were.

The inherited items are still open where they're tracked: discord-mcpl#67 and #93, anima-research/mcpl#19, and #373. One update to round 3: the companion connectome-host change now exists, as draft connectome-host#317, which voices inference:published. Main there still voices inference:tokens (src/modules/tts-relay-module.ts:381 at ac2e8bf). As before, this decides when listeners get the fix, not whether this PR merges.

The commits since round 3

• 9f94cd5 (merge of main 3af13bf: 0.22.2, #198, #286). It conflicted in two places: src/framework.ts, and the modify/delete of changelog.d/continuing-starts-keep-routing.fixed.md. 0.22.2 folded that fragment into CHANGELOG.md, so keeping the deletion is right. We diffed the commit against git merge-tree's own result. Apart from the conflict hunks, the only hand edits are the RoundCall plumbing, one changelog sentence and one new test. How the resolution works:
  • Each call that counts toward a round now carries refused. A direct call gets it at tool-calls (src/framework.ts:13132). A script's call gets it as it's pushed (15458). Both use the same refusesSelfWake (15909-15912) that the dispatcher uses to refuse the call (16034), so the two can't disagree.
  • routeRound saves silenceBeforeRefusal, from the turn's silence and the round's other, unrefused silencing calls, and records refusedWakeRounds (13153-13156).
  • For a script round, routeRound runs inside settleScriptRound. That is called synchronously in handleProcessEvent (9289) before anything can continue the turn. So the save always comes before the next round's adoptInjectedRound restores it (12934-12938, called at 13027 and 13275). turnSilenced is written only there and in routeRound (12936, 12945, 13158), so nothing moves it while a script runs.
  • In XML mode, the turn-end drop by round index (13482) and the turn-end silenced (13778) read the same state.
• 7e0568c adds the two XML-mode script cases (test/skip-reply-wake-xml-mode.test.ts:235-245). The merge already carried a locus, hybrid and explicit row (test/code-execution.test.ts:803). Mutation results:
  • With the script calls' refused forced to false: the locus and hybrid rows fail, and so do both XML script cases.
  • The explicit row still passes, which is right. Explicit mode decides keepPrivate from the call's name alone, so refused changes nothing there.
  • With refusedWakeRounds.add removed: seven of #198's nine XML rows fail, and so do both new ones. The two that pass are its control and the refused round with no prose.
• b0456f4 reads a def header as one logical line across backslash joins. This answers Greptile's P1 on async \ + def. Two rows pin it (test/script-tool-names.test.ts:82-83). It is sound, because the block's span still comes from the header's first physical line.
• b2da657 removes the race between python3's start and the idle watchdog in the disposed-ephemeral test. The threshold is now 60 s. Once the script is in the slow call, the test marks the run idle itself. It's sound. It sets a private field (ephemeralRuns…lastActivity), so it will need updating if that map is reshaped. It passes on the trial merge.

New findings

Nit

R4-1. A kept key whose prefix contains whitespace still marks no interpreter, and the changelog doesn't say so. Both reviewers found this independently.

• Evidence:
  • \S* (src/code-execution/script-tool-names.ts:43) rejects any prefix that contains whitespace.
  • Nothing else stops such a prefix. toolPrefix is free text (src/mcpl/types.ts:407-421), initialization checks only for collisions, and tools is keyed by the canonical name.
  • We ran these against the built module: post = tools["mcpl--zulip work--send_message"], and the same with a tab or an NBSP, each give reachable: [].
  • Your reply and the commit message name this bound, and so does the code comment (script-tool-names.ts:41-42). The changelog doesn't. It says a kept string "that is the tool's whole name, optionally namespaced" marks the interpreter (changelog.d/hold-round-speech.fixed.md:54-55), and its list of what goes unseen leaves this case out.
• Failure scenario: an MCPL server is configured with a prefix that contains a space. A script keeps post = tools["<prefix>--send_message"], and a later script calls post(…). That later round is routed at tool-calls, as on main. The function-name route (<prefix with _>__send_message) is still caught.
• Why a nit: it falls back to main's behaviour, needs an unusual prefix, and the trade is deliberate. The .* alternative fails a sentence row.
• Fix: add a clause for it to the changelog's list of what goes unseen ("a kept key whose prefix contains whitespace"). Alternatively, refuse whitespace in toolPrefix and server ids at config time. That's a wider change, and fine to leave to a follow-up.

Inherited (not this PR's)

• A bare channel id that two MCPL servers both register is resolved two ways. Delivery (routeSpeech) takes the first match (src/mcpl/channel-registry.ts:3135, findChannelEntry at 2345-2352). The stream's server lookup fails closed on the ambiguity (3071-3077). So that publish goes out and its stream is dropped. This fails safe for §14.3 (no chunk means no complete is owed), and main behaves the same. Now that a chunk follows its publish, the fix is easy: return the publishing entry's serverId from routeSpeech and stream to it. We've passed it to the maintainers to file separately. It doesn't block this PR.

Verified fine (new this round)

• Freshness.
  • The head is 7e0568c, as expected.
  • Both of the maintainer desk's stated facts hold: round 3 approved at 31a28f7 with R3-1 and R3-2, and 9f94cd5 merges main 3af13bf4, which is version 0.22.2 and contains #198 and #286.
  • Main has since moved to e670363, 111 commits later. Among them are #457, #458 and #464, which touch stop() waits and the python runner's interpreter lifecycle.
  • git merge-tree against today's main is clean.
• Trial merge onto e670363 (Node 22.21, fresh install: context-manager 0.14.1, membrane 0.5.87, chronicle 0.4.0):
  • build: clean;
  • full suite (npm test): 2955/2955.
  • On main, the python runner now restarts an interpreter whose input has closed, and reclaims one that is aborted while starting (#458, #464). Each restart gives a new interpreter number, so a stale mark lapses as designed (PyRunner.interpreter reads null without a live child).
• The four test files this round touches pass at the head: 176/176. That matches the description's counts: code-execution 100, outgoing-stream 46, script-tool-names 19, skip-reply-wake-xml-mode 11.
• Five mutations each fail at least one test: the round-3 prefix rule, .*, the trailing disabled log line, the script calls' refused flag, and refusedWakeRounds.
• CI passes at this head (Ubuntu and macOS, Node 20 and 24, the changelog check, and the packed-release install). The run the description cites is for 7e0568c. GitHub reports the PR as mergeable and CLEAN.
• The scanner over-matches, at a cost in latency only. A string that is a whole namespaced name with no whitespace marks the interpreter even when it is only printed or called at once through tools.get(…)(…), for example print("/var/log/app__say"). That was already true for -/_ prefixes at round 3, and it's the trade we recommended there. \S* widens it only to other punctuation. We don't raise it.
• The changelog fragment for the refused wake inside a script (changelog.d/hold-round-speech.fixed.md:33-35) matches the code in every mode, including the XML fallback sentence that follows it.

---

_{Method: two independent passes, merged after re-verification.}

• Codex gpt-5.6-sol at xhigh, in a read-only sandbox: about 10 min, 238 commands, 8.9 M input tokens (8.65 M cached) and 32 k output. It read the head worktree, the trial merge onto e670363, connectome-host at ac2e8bf, discord-mcpl at 88e9d56 and the MCPL spec at 62bd6dc. It ran tsc --noEmit on both trees (both clean) and the scanner and channel-routing tests. Its sandbox blocked the tests that need temp directories (EROFS), and it had no network.
• Claude: the freshness checks, the trial merge with its install, build and full suite, the merge-tree comparison of 9f94cd5, the five mutation runs, the scanner probes, the check that the cited CI run is for this head, Greptile's state, and the status of the follow-up issues and the companion PR.
• Found by both: the R3-1 and R3-2 dispositions, R4-1, the correct merge resolution in every mode, and both small commits being sound.
• Sol only: the inherited duplicate channel id, adopted as a separate issue rather than a finding of this PR (it's the same on main). Also the scanner's over-matching (print/tools.get of an exact key), which Sol rated minor. We rejected it as a new finding because it predates this round and costs only latency.
• Claude only: main's movement and the full suite on today's main, the mutation evidence that each fix is pinned (including why the explicit row survives the refused mutation), and that connectome-host#317 is now open.
• Neither pass ran voice end to end.

[nissa-seru]

@Anarchid 8fe9a1dd has merged main again now that #​286 and #​350 have landed, as we said we would, and it makes your R4-1 change. Nothing is needed from you.

• R4-1: the fixed fragment's list of what goes unseen now names "a kept key whose prefix, as the script writes it, contains whitespace" (ce34f8f2).
• The merges of main since your round 4: a08574ca, 5d408f70 and 203a6a9d. They bring in #​247's drafts and publish outcomes, #​220's allowlist refusals and #​350's inbound-only channels, and each of those is carried into this PR's shape. The description's merge notes say how. What they change here:
  • a publish the server doesn't confirm (delivered: true) isn't streamed;
  • in locus and hybrid mode, a send inside a script holds its round, and the turn's later prose, as drafts, as a direct send does, and a script that names drafts holds its round until it returns;
  • a call a script makes that the allowlist refuses counts as the same refused direct call does: a refused skip_reply keeps only its own round private, and a refused send silences nothing.
• The commit messages: nine of this branch's earlier messages named people and internal labels that a maintainer can't look up, so they're reworded. Every commit's hash has changed, and its tree hasn't. The hashes your reviews cite map to the new ones like this:
  • b481b8a1 → 8454df05
  • 53c3a6f3 → 16ee15c3
  • 1d49e4db → 9b0b2304
  • 6dcffede → fd882c79
  • 6728d533 → b5aab9e6
  • cd4493f0 → 00ce0874
  • 679bb7db → 4670979b
  • b0d00eea → 2aa99a4f
  • e3757967 → a1138137
  • 31a28f77 → 473ab4c6
  • 8ed94c88 → a115ab1b
  • b2da6577 → fd964be0
  • b0456f43 → c9d92a2a
  • 9f94cd5c → a52c64ea
  • 7e0568cd → 9fd8b7f0
• Tests at this head: the description's Tests section has the suites on both Nodes, red first against main, and the removals.
