feat(routing): add role reasoning-effort profiles and equal-budget ablation by cursor[bot] · Pull Request #631 · ContextualWisdomLab/contextual-orchestrator

cursor · 2026-08-16T16:14:17Z

Buyer next action

Run python tests/test_reasoning_effort_profile.py. Keep live route/conduct defaults unchanged while production_default_change_allowed is false. Do not raise temperature to stand in for reasoning effort.

Why this PR

Issue #568: the control plane can name workflow roles but cannot yet assign a provider-neutral compute profile or prove a profile improves quality under a comparable budget. This first slice lands the catalog and the true-θ RMSE ablation without changing production defaults and without stacking onto the tools-honesty / KV-allowlist queue (#608 and successors).

What landed

Versioned reasoning_effort_profile with fail-closed parse (unknown keys, NaN/inf, booleans-as-numbers).
Role catalog for thinker / worker / verifier / synthesizer / planner / judge.
Replayable snapshot_hash for later sync/stream/batch/route/conduct attach.
Equal-budget ablation: single-model route baseline vs role-differentiated conduct, plus one-factor sweeps for effort, temperature, recursion depth, workflow steps, and access-list scope.
Production default gate stays locked (robustness_passed is false in this slice).

Stale comment

Buyer next action

Do not merge this draft. Review #650 (a1ab71e) instead: #650

Run python tests/test_reasoning_effort_profile.py on #650. Keep live route/conduct defaults unchanged while production_default_change_allowed is false.

Why #631 is not the landing vehicle

The catalog, opt-in snapshot on complete(), and the production-default lock are the right first slice. The ablation and persist path do not match the claims.

estimate_theta_rmse ignores the θ values. RMSE is a rank formula repeated len(true_theta) times. A buyer running the advertised command gets a tautology, not θ̂ vs true θ.

run(), stream_route(), and batch_route() drop reasoning_effort_snapshot. HTTP and persist use run(), so the hash is not on the live record.

Parse/hash fail open on None, blank profile_version, fractional seed, extra roles, and empty catalogs.

access_list_scope "role" vs "workflow" is the same call. The production-default gate raises on junk reports.

parse_reasoning_effort_profile had no fuzz target.

Production OrchestrationPolicy defaults were not changed. Default constructor still omits the snapshot key. Do not fold this onto #608–#629.

#650 emits θ̂, computes RMSE(θ̂, θ), fail-closes parse/hash, persists the same snapshot on run/stream/batch, and adds a Hypothesis/Atheris seam. Independent review from seonghobae is requested there.

Next buyer gap after #650: apply the opt-in catalog to ModelClient request knobs (reasoning_effort, max_output_tokens) without changing OrchestrationPolicy defaults. Live NIM evidence stays issue #86.

Do not merge this PR. Review #677 (55ce1ac) instead: #677

Run python tests/test_reasoning_effort_profile.py on #677. Keep live route/conduct defaults unchanged while production_default_change_allowed is false.

Why #631 is not the landing vehicle

The catalog, opt-in snapshot on complete(), and the production-default lock are the right first slice. The ablation and persist path do not match the claims.

estimate_theta_rmse ignores the θ values. RMSE is a rank formula repeated len(true_theta) times. A buyer running the advertised command gets a tautology, not θ̂ vs true θ.
run(), stream_route(), and batch_route() drop reasoning_effort_snapshot. HTTP and persist use run(), so the hash is not on the live record.
Parse/hash fail open on None, blank profile_version, fractional seed, extra roles, and empty catalogs.
access_list_scope "role" vs "workflow" is the same call.

#650 fixed θ̂ RMSE and in-process persist, but still fail-opened the gate on omitted/junk measurement_status, accepted boolean true-θ, dropped streamed snapshots on --state-db restart, and never reached ablation from the fuzz target. ModelClient still sent a single max_tokens with no reasoning_effort.

#677 fail-closes the measured-status gate, rejects boolean θ, persists streamed snapshots, reaches the ablation from the fuzz target, and applies opt-in catalog knobs on chat, stream, and batch. Independent review from seonghobae is requested there.

Production OrchestrationPolicy defaults were not changed. Do not fold this onto #608–#629. Live NIM evidence stays issue #86.

Pull request overview

OpenCode cannot approve yet because required coverage evidence did not pass.

Review outcome

1. HIGH .github/workflows/opencode-review.yml:1 - Coverage evidence did not prove required test/docstring evidence

Problem: The required coverage-evidence job result was failure, so OpenCode cannot establish approval sufficiency for this head.
Root cause: Automated approval is only valid when the same-head coverage-evidence job proves supported repository test suites passed and configured docstring gates passed or were advisory, or reports not applicable because no supported source files or package manifests exist. Missing, failed, skipped, unavailable, or unsupported-tooling test evidence is a blocker.
Fix: Install or configure the repository test/docstring evidence tooling when source files or package manifests exist, rerun the current-head coverage-evidence job, and approve only after it reports success with required evidence or explicit no-source not-applicable evidence.
Regression test: Keep the approval branch checking needs.coverage-evidence.result == success before posting APPROVE, and publish REQUEST_CHANGES when coverage-evidence blocker states such as cancelled, skipped, failed, unsupported-tooling, or below-100 evidence are present.
Result: REQUEST_CHANGES
Reason: coverage-evidence result was failure, so required test/docstring evidence was not proven for current head cb4a02653df90d82fad93d84cf47d6cfe83b7c38.
