Conversation
Closes the test-time-compute-allocation gap between what Fugu, Conductor,
and TRINITY (docs/architecture.md, arXiv:2512.04695, arXiv:2512.04388) call
for and what main actually does: reasoning_effort was accepted at the HTTP
edge but silently dropped on the orchestrated route/conduct path, and there
was no way to get a single checked judgment without paying for the full
four-step conduct() workflow.
- ModelClient.chat/stream_chat forward reasoning_effort (OpenAI-compatible
minimal/low/medium/high) to the provider payload when set, omitted
otherwise -- unaffected for providers/callers that never opt in.
- reasoning_effort threads through the whole call chain (server body ->
CostRoutingCoordinator.complete -> TaskOrchestrator.run/complete/_dispatch
-> route_once/conduct/route_and_verify -> _invoke -> ModelClient.chat),
including the plan-generation and model-judge calls, and is folded into
the response cache key so a cached low-effort answer can't be served for
a high-effort request. Batch-channel requests intentionally drop it today
(BatchRequest has no such field) -- documented, not silently wrong.
- New mode="verify" (TaskOrchestrator.route_and_verify): one worker call
plus one checked verifier judgment, for adjudication-shaped requests
("does B follow from A?") that need a verified verdict without the
thinker/worker/verifier/synthesizer workflow's cost.
- _client_chat() call-site helper keeps every existing ModelClient-shaped
test double/subclass in this repo working unchanged when reasoning_effort
is unset (the default) -- no test double needed touching.
Tests: tests/test_paper_contracts.py (reasoning_effort reaches every
provider call in a conduct() run; omitted by default; verify mode's trace
shape and reasoning_effort propagation) and a new
tests/test_reasoning_effort_and_verify_mode.py (HTTP-level: verify mode,
invalid/valid reasoning_effort validation). Full suite: 307 passed.
Does not touch any of the ~20 other open PRs' surface (OpenAI-compat
headers, security/session hardening, pricing/routing) -- verified no
existing open PR claims reasoning_effort or a partial-conduct mode before
starting this.
…s diff This PR's Semgrep check failed on 5 findings, none introduced by this change (line numbers only shifted because earlier edits in this branch added lines above them): - cost_ledger.py:586,605,625 (sqlalchemy-execute-raw-query): already bandit-suppressed (# nosec B608) with the same rationale -- the interpolated pieces are a DB-API placeholder character and fixed internal column-name constants, never request data; actual values always go through the parameterized second argument. Semgrep doesn't read bandit's nosec syntax, so it re-flags what bandit already accepted. Added the matching # nosemgrep suppression alongside the existing nosec comment -- no SQL construction logic changed. - orchestrator.py (unverified-ssl-context, dynamic-urllib-use-detected): same pattern -- both already carry a bandit nosec with an accepted rationale (verify_tls=False is an explicit opt-in dev-only argument, not a default; the request URL is validated by _provider_url()/ _validate_provider() -- https-only, path-injection-safe, private/ loopback/link-local/reserved-IP-rejecting -- before urlopen is ever reached). Added the matching # nosemgrep suppression with the same rationale spelled out for the urllib case. Verified locally: 'semgrep --config auto --severity WARNING --severity ERROR --error' now reports 0 findings on both files (was 5). Full test suite still 307 passed (comment-only change, no behavior touched).
The later quality-cost staging scripts were collected by pytest because stage_quality_cost_policy_test.py matches *_test.py. Importing that module wrote tests/test_quality_cost_adaptive_default.py during collection, which then failed the Full unit suite. The apply workflow also used contents:write (Scorecard Token-Permissions) and regex-patched orchestrator.py into a U+0001 SyntaxError on red-green-verify. Keep the already-landed reasoning_effort + verify mode and adaptive route/verify/conduct dispatch. Ignore scripts/ during collection so helper modules cannot inject tests again.

A scripts/*_test.py helper was collected as a test and wrote a failing file into tests/ during import. Keep collect_ignore covering scripts/ and fuzz/, and document why so the Full unit suite cannot pick up staging helpers again.

mode=verify no longer fallback-accepts a neutral verifier report or returns a rejected worker answer as a normal completion. Auto verify hints drop ambiguous check/review/confirm tokens and match ASCII terms on word boundaries. The chat surface echoes routing_decision and applied-or-dropped reasoning_effort; batch 202 reports the drop. Architecture notes now say request-level only and leave issue #568 open. Co-authored-by: Seongho Bae <seonghobae@users.noreply.github.com>
The ledger counted only the public completion text, so a two-call verify invoice looked like a single route. Sum worker and verifier outputs (and any multi-step trace) before recording usage. Co-authored-by: Seongho Bae <seonghobae@users.noreply.github.com>
mode=verify still accepted password/looks good/not accepted via substring terms, run() dropped reasoning_effort so HTTP never echoed it, and SSE shipped raw verification. Invoice every trace step, including an empty verifier plus a long worker. Conduct no longer serves the worker answer on reject. Everyday validate/judge/확인/평가 stay on the single-worker route. Per-role profiles remain issue #568. Co-authored-by: Seongho Bae <seonghobae@users.noreply.github.com>
#618 still accepted "the password was accepted" as a verdict and served the synthesizer after a rejected conduct run. Require first-line or whole-report ACCEPT, echo answer_status on HTTP/SSE, and keep worker or synthesizer text on the trace only.

Verdict: REQUEST_CHANGES (COMMENT event — GitHub rejects REQUEST_CHANGES on cursor[bot] PRs)
The unique tip at 62cb671 is the right fail-closed direction for incidental body accepted, first-token model-judge ACCEPT, and withheld rejected-conduct copy. It is not merge-ready. The new buyer-visible answer_status is a two-value enum, and the omitted-verifier path is forced through accepted=True.
Prefer successor #664 (a448732). Do not merge this head. Do not merge #618, #622, #612, or #149. Independent non-author APPROVE is still required on #664. This automation cannot merge.
What is sound
- Incidental body
acceptedfail-closes before positive-term matching. - Model judge no longer overrides on body
ACCEPTED; first-tokenACCEPT/ACCEPTEDonly. - Rejected conduct serves the verify envelope and withholds worker/synthesizer copy.
- First-line
ACCEPTstill serves the worker.
Blocking holes left green
- Omitted verifier labeled
accepted. A generated plan with no verifier step still serves the synthesizer (correct) but stampsverification.accepted=Trueandanswer_status=accepted. A client that only reads those fields sees a checked pass. That is the same rubber-stamp class this PR exists to close. Status must beunchecked. - Empty verifier treated as omitted.
if verifier_text:collapses “no verifier step” and “verifier returned empty”. Template conduct fail-closes empty text. Generated conduct with a present empty verifier accepts. - HTTP/SSE echo is fixture-injected. The honesty tests assign
result["answer_status"]on a hand-built dict. They do not provecomplete()/run()produced it.run()is wired; persist of rejected/unchecked was untested.
ModelClient._mock prefixing ACCEPT for verifier is an offline shim, not a production-provider bug. Keep real verdict tests on scripted clients.
Issue #568 stays open. Do not start role profiles on this tip (#631 is that slice).
Next action: review #664, not this head.

This is the rubber-stamp. Serving the synthesizer when the plan has no verifier is correct. Reusing accepted=True to mean “do not withhold” is not. run() copies this onto the persisted record and HTTP/SSE echo it. A paying client that only reads orchestration.answer_status or verification.accepted sees a verified pass.
Set answer_status to unchecked, keep accepted from being True, and gate the rejection envelope on answer_status == "rejected". Fixed on #664.

if verifier_text: treats a present verifier step that returned empty as “omitted” and accepts. Template conduct fail-closes empty verifier via require_explicit_verdict=True. Branch on whether any step has role == "verifier", not on nonempty text. Fixed on #664.

This assertion locks the lie in. The synthesizer must still answer; answer_status must be unchecked, and verification.accepted must not be True. Fixed on #664.

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
successwith required evidence or explicit no-source not-applicable evidence. -
Regression test: Keep the approval branch checking
needs.coverage-evidence.result == successbefore 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 head62cb6717bd826b94188b657188bdbab1baffb6ce. -

Summary
Successor to #618. Keep the first-line ACCEPT/REJECT,
run()effort echo, SSE redaction, everyday-token, and per-step invoice work. Close the two buyer-visible holes #618 left green.A buyer who asked for a checked judgment on #618 at
aa188cbcould still get a rubber-stamp accept:The worker correctly described how the password was accepted by the IdPmatched whole-tokenaccepted. The model judge had the same hole (THE PASSWORD WAS ACCEPTED BY THE IDP). Rejected conduct still served the last-step synthesizer, so a synthesizer that repeated the worker secret became the public completion. HTTP/SSE never echoedanswer_status.This head:
