Found by an app running an unattended article-writing agent on 27.9.0. Each fix has a test that failed first.

Bugs

  • A truncated answer that happened to validate was returned as a success (a respond cut off at the ceiling arrived as {}), and a truncated agent turn ran its tools on {}. Now X_LLM_TRUNCATED before the schema and before any tool, on both wires.
  • A streamed tool call: unparseable arguments threw a transport error (the retryable code) before the stop reason or usage arrived, and two calls sharing an index were merged. Now recorded and decided once usage is known: dropped on a truncated turn, else X_LLM_TOOL_ARGUMENTS_INVALID (not retried). Confirmed with one real streamed run through OpenRouter (28,323 characters of arguments, parsed).
  • A failure after a provider call carries what it was billed (meta.billed, billedOf(error)), and the gateway records it. An aborted call is counted as unsettled, never priced.
  • Cost: each half was rounded up per call and summed (a 14-turn run read 28 cents for 7). Now exact, rounded once; a price may state a scale.

Added

  • agent().run() returns the transcript; .continue() appends one user turn under the same cumulative turn and token limits.
  • llm() onCall; repairOf on a schema-repair turn.
  • temperature / seed, sent only to a model row that takes them; forcedToolChoice: false for models that reject a forced tool (found live).
  • inProcessTool(): a tool that needs no mcp.expose and is never an MCP tool; its own typed refusal reaches the model as a structured error.
  • x g action into a hand-written slice writes only what an action needs, or refuses before writing.

Not built (design notes in the commit bodies): an eval form for llm()/agent(); an in-process-only action surface.

Behaviour changes are listed in the changelog (truncation and argument errors are no longer the retryable code; ledger totals drop with exact cost).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Agents can resume runs using validated conversation history, with cumulative turn and token limits.
    • Agents support private in-process tools with configurable disclosure of typed errors.
    • AI calls support model-specific temperature and seed settings, per-call observations, and exact cost reporting.
    • Failed provider calls can include reported usage and billing details.
    • Model pricing supports finer-grained amounts for more precise cost tracking.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Truncated answers are rejected before tools run or output is validated; malformed tool arguments receive a distinct error.
    • Streamed tool calls handle fragmented arguments and differing IDs more reliably.
    • Generators check existing slice policies before writing and avoid unnecessary companion files.
    • Cost and budget tracking account for finer-grained amounts.
  • Documentation
    • Updated AI, agent, CLI, and error-code guidance.

… an empty success

llm() and agent() validated the answer before they looked at the stop reason. A respond
call stopped at the output ceiling arrives with no arguments, both wires read that as {},
and {} satisfies an output of optional keys. An agent turn cut off while asking for tools
ran those tools on the same empty arguments. The stop reason is now read first.

…a typed, billed error — never the retryable code

Both wire readers threw a transport error the moment a tool call's arguments did not parse,
before the stop reason (Anthropic) or the usage (chat-completions) had arrived. A respond call
cut off at the ceiling surfaced as X_AI_PROVIDER_UNAVAILABLE with the reservation released.

- unreadable arguments are recorded, and the provider decides once usage is known: dropped on a
  truncated turn (X_LLM_TRUNCATED downstream), else X_LLM_TOOL_ARGUMENTS_INVALID carrying
  meta.billed, which the gateway records and does not retry
- the chat-completions assembler starts a new call on a differing id at a shared index, and reads
  calls when the stream ends rather than at the finish reason
- wire tests replay transcripts shaped like a captured OpenRouter run

…meta.billed

Every provider call of a run goes through a meter. Whatever ends the run after a call was
started — truncation, refusal, schema-repair exhaustion, unparseable arguments, the turn
ceiling, a tool loop, the deadline, the caller leaving — is thrown with meta.billed:
the usage and cost of every call that answered, and a count of the calls that never
reported usage, whose bill cannot be known and is never estimated.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…it with one user turn

agent() could only start a run, so correcting a finished answer re-ran every tool and re-paid
every turn. The action now carries .run() -> { output, transcript, turns, usage } and
.continue(input, { transcript, user }): the stored transcript is re-sent byte for byte (the
provider's prompt cache reads it back), one user turn is appended, and the loop resumes with
maxTurns and budget.tokensPerRun counted across the run and its continuations. The handle is
JSON the app stores, screened on the way in (X_AGENT_TRANSCRIPT_INVALID, 422).

…xact and rounded once

- llm() takes onCall: usage, cost and the running total per provider call
- onTurn / onCall carry repairOf on the turn after a rejected answer; X_LLM_OUTPUT_INVALID
  lists the issues on meta
- cost is computed exactly in integers (Money at a finer scale, exactCostOf) and rounded up
  once: per call instead of once per half, and per ledger when it is read instead of once per
  call. 14 turns of 0.45 cents read 28 cents and now read 7
- a model price may state a scale: { minor: 75, currency: 'USD', scale: 3 } is $0.075 per million

…odel whose row takes them; forcedToolChoice: false

A verifier had no way to ask for a repeatable answer. Both declarations and GenerateRequest
take temperature and seed; a model row states sampling: { temperature, seed } to receive them
and they are left out for any other, since a reasoning model answers one with a 400.

A row may also say forcedToolChoice: false: one real call showed anthropic/claude-sonnet-5.5
rejecting the named tool_choice llm() sends for its single respond tool.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
… a structured error

A tool failure is disclosed by the rule a problem document follows, so an app code with no
status row read as a 500 and its cause was withheld: the model could not see why its call was
refused. A ProjectableAction marked inProcess now shows an UltimateError thrown under a code
nobody declared a status for as { error: { code, cause, fix } }. An uncoded throw, a framework
5xx, a code the app registered >= 500 and a look-alike stay withheld; discloseErrors: false
opts out; a tool projected from an exposed action is unchanged.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…d is never an MCP tool

agent() refused any tool that was not mcp: { expose: true }, so a tool only the agent may
call had to be an action that claims to be exposable, and was then served to every external
MCP client. inProcessTool({ name, description, input, execute }) is a tool that is this
process's alone: its input is parsed by its own schema, it runs as ctx.actor under the
agent's policy, and no MCP catalogue, route, openapi.json or manifest row ever names it.
An action used as a tool is unchanged and must still be exposed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…tion needs, or refuses

Pointed at a slice an author wrote, the action generator behaved like a resource scaffold: it
wrote entity/repo/policy tests for modules it had not written, merged the entity's admin labels
into the catalogs, and emitted an action importing can<Slice>Write and <slice>Tag from a
policy.ts that declared neither — a file that did not load, on which the generator then crashed
with everything already on disk.

A module already on disk gets no companion; a repo.ts without byId gets the lookup-free body;
and a policy.ts lacking the imported exports is refused before anything is written
(X_SLICE_POLICY_INCOMPLETE). The api/index.ts registration is unchanged: it is what names an action.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…re handed in as a rejection

The gate's errors step reads test fix lines and test throws: tool-errors.test.ts cited
'x db console', which no build ships, and call-observability.test.ts threw a bare TypeError
where it meant to hand the code under test a failing observer.

The AI package adds resumable agent runs, process-local tools, model-aware sampling, exact cost reporting, provider-call billing metadata, and revised streamed tool-call handling. The CLI generator checks existing slice policies and adjusts generated files for existing modules.

Changes

AI runtime and CLI generation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resumable agent runs and transcript validation
packages/ai/src/agent-continue.ts, agent-declared.ts, agent.ts, packages/ai/src/*agent-continue*.test.ts
Agent actions add .run() and .continue(). Continuations validate signed transcripts and enforce cumulative limits.
Process-local tools and failure disclosure
packages/ai/src/in-process-tool.ts, tools.ts, failure-disclosure.ts, packages/ai/src/*tool*.test.ts
Agents can use process-local tools. Inputs are validated before execution. Eligible typed failures can be disclosed with bounded details.
Provider handling, sampling, and cost accounting
packages/ai/src/openai-wire.ts, wire.ts, llm.ts, provider.ts, sampling.ts, cost.ts, budget.ts, gateway.ts, run-meter.ts
Provider parsing distinguishes truncation, malformed arguments, and unknown finish reasons. Sampling is model-aware. Call, run, and ledger results expose rounded and exact costs.

- Around line 448-450: Update the Limit table’s `gateway.spent()` row to remove
the outdated claim that it rounds each turn’s input and output separately; state
that ledger totals and `run.cost` agree, consistent with `BudgetLedger.record`

Review comments at @packages/ai/src/run-meter.ts:
- Around line 101-117: Update sum in packages/ai/src/run-meter.ts, lines

of adding rounded cost.minor values. In packages/ai/src/gateway.ts, lines

Review comments at @packages/cli/src/generate-slice-policy.ts:

`policy.ts` already exists, replace the dry-run command that only reports a
write plan with an actionable command or concrete edit instructions showing how
to add the missing exports to `input.policy`.

Review comments at @packages/cli/src/templates/action.ts:
- Around line 445-446: Update the generated unit test alongside the export check
in the action template so permission-specific success assertions reflect the

the grant cannot be determined, omit those assertions. Ensure generators

Review comments at @wiki/MCP-And-AI.md:
- Line 468: Update the tools paragraph near the `X_AGENT_TOOL_UNEXPOSED`

…ned for

The session rode the async context, so an agent called as a tool inside outer.continue()
took the OUTER session and screened the outer transcript as its own
(X_AGENT_TRANSCRIPT_INVALID ... written by agent "outer"). Each declaration has its own
token; only its run may claim the session, once, and a nested agent starts fresh.

… leaves an updated one

The handle carried the run's own ceilings and was unauthenticated: a holder could zero usage,
lower turns, rewrite a message or fabricate a tool result, and another org's actor could
continue it. It is now an HMAC-signed value (the framework's signing secret, its own label)
bound to the agent, the model, the declared tool names and the actor's orgId; every tool call
in it must name a declared tool; production on the development key refuses .continue().

A handle was only written on success, so failed continuations never counted against
tokensPerRun. A failed .run()/.continue() now seals an updated handle onto the error
(transcriptOf(error)) whose turns and usage include what the call was billed.

- an app-written Provider's fractional cost.minor is rounded up instead of throwing a raw
  RangeError after the provider was paid; a non-amount is booked as zero; a ledger that cannot
  record a paid call releases the reservation and the answer is still returned
- budget.costPerCall and derive() compare Money at a common scale, not by minor alone
- billedOf carries cost.scale
- Gateway.stream settles a provider that throws after its done chunk once, not twice

- chat-completions finish reasons are read for what they mean (end_turn, eos, STOP,

Independent review (read-only, adversarial): safe to release, six fix-soons; all addressed in the follow-up commits:

  • a nested agent no longer inherits the outer continue session
  • the transcript handle is HMAC-signed (cursor secret, own label) and bound to agent, model, declared tools and org; every tool_use must name a declared tool; production on the dev key refuses .continue()
  • a failed run or continue seals an updated handle onto the error (transcriptOf), so retries resume with the true remainder
  • a fractional or bad cost from an app provider no longer throws or leaks a reservation; a paid answer is never lost to bookkeeping
  • money comparisons and sums are scale-aware (costPerCall, billedOf)
  • X_LLM_TRUNCATED, X_LLM_OUTPUT_INVALID, X_LLM_TOOL_ARGUMENTS_INVALID and X_AGENT_TRANSCRIPT_INVALID are terminal for jobs; unknown finish reasons are no longer read as truncation (X_AI_PROVIDER_UNEXPECTED when the answer is not whole)
  • nested spend rolls up; tool refusals are capped before serialising; the generator reads destructured and re-exported policy names

Isolated run over six packages: 10,240 pass, 0 fail. verify green; both reference apps 20/20.

🟡 Minor · Stream record failure after the provider is paid loses the answer, unlike… · gateway.ts:260

packages/ai/src/gateway.ts:260
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Stream record failure after the provider is paid loses the answer, unlike generate.

generate wraps ledger.record in a try, releases the reservation and returns the paid answer on failure. stream calls await ledger?.record(...) bare. A throw there reaches the catch, where settled is still false. settleFailure finds no billed meta and releases the reservation. The consumer then gets an error instead of the done chunk. This is the same lost-paid-answer failure that money-bookkeeping.test.ts guards against for generate.

Apply the same pattern in stream: catch the record error, release the reservation, log it, then set settled = true and yield done.

Proposed fix
-        await ledger?.record(usage, costExact ?? cost, reservation);
-        settled = true;
+        try {
+          await ledger?.record(usage, costExact ?? cost, reservation);
+        } catch (recordError) {
+          await ledger?.release(reservation).catch(() => undefined);
+          logger.warn('ai.budget.record_failed', {
+            provider: provider.name,
+            error: renderThrowable(recordError),
+          });
+        }
+        settled = true;

Update the stream settlement flow around ledger.record so a recording failure
does not discard the provider’s paid answer: catch the record error, release the
reservation, and log the failure, then mark the stream settled and yield the
done chunk. Keep successful recording behavior unchanged.

148-148: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 💤 Low value

Fix the shared global regex STAR: replace reuses its flags across calls.

STAR has the g flag. String.prototype.replace resets lastIndex, so this use is safe today. The inner .replace(STAR, '') runs inside the outer replace callback. It is also safe, because replace with a global regex resets lastIndex to 0 at the start. Nothing breaks now. Any future STAR.test() or exec() on this shared constant would be stateful. Prefer a factory or a non-shared regex.

127-127: bookableCost accepts a fractional minor at a finer scale and rounds it up as a whole unit.

Math.ceil(cost.minor) is correct only at the integer boundary. The scale is kept, so a value like { minor: 1.5, scale: 8 } becomes 2 at scale 8. The over-count is at most one unit of the finest scale, which is safe. Rounding up is deliberate, so this is not a defect.

143-143: Mismatched currencies silently drop the second bill's cost.

When a.cost.currency differs from b.cost.currency, sum returns a.cost and still adds usage and calls. The total cost is then understated with no signal. This matches the guard in runTotal (agent-usage.ts), so it is consistent. A single run uses one gateway currency in practice. Treat this as a known limitation and do not change it in this PR.


98-98: Past comment on rounded Billed.cost is partly addressed.

Line 98 now reports costExact ?? cost to the parent. The error path at Line 102 still reads billed.cost, which billedOf carries from a rounded figure. See the earlier review comment on this range. The Billed doc says cost is "rounded up once", so exact cost does not travel on a failure bill.

packages/ai/src/gateway.ts (1)

362-370: settleFailure records the rounded billed.cost, not an exact cost.

The failure path books a rounded-up cost per failed call. The success path books costExact. This reintroduces per-call round-up on failures. See the earlier review comment on run-meter.ts.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Cost comparison uses raw minor of values from costOf.

costOf returns values at the currency exponent with no scale, so minor is comparable here. If costOf ever returns a scaled value, this comparison breaks. Use compareMoney from ./cost to follow the rule this PR sets for money comparisons.

345-345: 🩺 Stability & Availability

Widen the ledger scale before calling minorAt.

When a billed cost has a finer scale than costScale(currency), minorAt(bookableCost(cost), costScale(cost.currency)) calls minorAt with a narrower target scale. minorAt throws scaleNotWidening, so settlement can throw after the provider has reported usage. This can skip settlement and release a reservation for a billed call.

Use the maximum scale before conversion, and round up only if the ledger must narrow the amount.

Do not prescribe a lower token ceiling. If a declaration already sets maxTokens above 8192, this fix tells the caller to reduce it after a completed turn produced invalid JSON. Pass the current ceiling into this error and suggest a value above it, or omit the fixed number. As per path instructions, “Errors are instructions — every throw carries a stable X_* code, a cause, and an exact fix command.”

Keep second-level re-exports marked as unknown. If policy.ts exports ./rules and rules exports ./more, inlineReexports removes the second star export. The policy check then treats the required names as missing and refuses a valid x g action or x g mutator. Preserve an unresolved marker when the one-level scan reaches another re-export, so the check does not claim those names are absent.

…y grants, or assert nothing that depends on it

The generated unit test granted <feature>:write and expected the handler to answer, so a
handwritten canBlogWrite = can('blog:publish') shipped a failing test. The grant is now read
off a single literal can('<perm>'); when it cannot be read the handler assertions are left out
with a comment. The contract test makes no foreign-org claim against a policy it did not write.
A fresh slice's output is pinned byte for byte.

The pinned generator output carries an X_* literal, and a non-test module holding it read to the
