fix(adaptive): field-test fixes — feedback retries, prose-binding gate, input trim - #56
Conversation
…e, input trim
Findings from driving the loop against a live provider (OpenRouter,
kimi-k2 / qwen3-coder) with SQLite storage:
- author(): a refused graph now goes back to the model with the refusal
(3 bounded rounds) instead of ending the episode; unusable replies
(no JSON object, transport failure) resample with the prompt unchanged.
- New intake gate: a binding path embedded in prose ("about:
.run.inputs.topic") is refused with the remedy — it was the single
most common authoring mistake across every model tried, and it
otherwise runs on garbage and reports success.
- The authoring prompt now teaches =run.inputs.NAME and the two
interpolation forms, and states that a mid-string = is literal text.
- bind() trims inputs the graph never declared — the engine rejects
undeclared keys before any node executes, so one invented key turned
a sound selection into an attempt that ran nothing.
- decide(): an unbindable selection gets one more selection round with
the refusal on the table, then falls back to authoring, instead of
ending the episode.
- keep's generalise prompt: reusable=false when the goal's specifics sit
in a node's prompt/config instead of arriving through a declared input.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughChangesAdaptive intake behavior
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR improves workflow recovery and input validation, but the current head is not merge-ready: storage failures can trigger model retries and replacement workflow execution, the code may not compile with the supported Rust 1.85 toolchain, and some literal node-reference paths can still pass validation and run with incorrect inputs.

- Around line 223-224: Update the PATHS constant in the intake path validation
logic to include ".nodes." so literal node paths are rejected consistently with
the existing prefixes. Add a focused test covering a configuration value
containing ".nodes.<id>..." in literal prose and verify it is rejected.
In `@crates/adaptive/src/intake/mod.rs`:
- Around line 145-164: Update the refusal handling around the initial and retry
bind calls to recover only from IntakeError::Unbindable. Propagate
IntakeError::Store and every other binding error immediately, including errors
from bind(retry, store), instead of treating them as refusals or entering
author. Preserve the existing retry and author flow only when binding returns an
unbindable result.
- Around line 156-157: Update the conditional in the intake flow around select
and bind to replace the let-chain with nested if let statements, preserving the
existing retry selection, bind success handling, and error propagation while
remaining compatible with Rust 1.85.

- prose_bindings also rejects a literal `.nodes.<id>` path, with a test. - decide() recovers only from Unbindable: a store failure during either bind is propagated instead of being retried as if it were the model's slip — and removing the let-chain restores the declared MSRV (1.85; let-chains need 1.88).

Follow-up to #55, from driving the loop against a live provider for the first time — OpenRouter inference (kimi-k2 / deepseek-chat / qwen3-coder), SQLite storage, engine in-process. The dominant failure class in the field was one bad model reply ending the whole episode; every fix below turns such a reply into a bounded, fed-back retry or a mechanical refusal.
What the field test caught
author()had no feedback loop. Its own comment promised "a model handed one error fixes it" — but nothing ever handed the error back: the first invalid graph killed the episode. Now a refused graph goes back to the model with the refusal (3 bounded rounds), and an unusable reply (no JSON object, transport failure) resamples with the prompt unchanged."about: .run.inputs.topic"inside a literal string — was the single most common authoring mistake across every model tried. The engine hands the step those exact characters, so it runs on garbage and reports success (one judge caught a poem literally "about payloads and triggers"). New intake gate refuses it with the remedy, which the feedback loop then applies.=run.inputs.NAME, both interpolation forms, and that a mid-string=is literal text.bind()checked one direction. Required-but-missing was an error; supplied-but-undeclared sailed through to the engine, which rejects unknown keys before any node executes — so one invented input turned a sound selection into an attempt that ran nothing. Undeclared inputs are now trimmed.keepfiled unparameterised graphs. A graph with the goal's topic baked into a node's prompt and zero declared inputs was stored as a "generic procedure" — found, selected, and wrong for every future goal of its class. The generalise prompt now rules it not reusable.Verification
