📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughChangesThe PR adds structured Agent runtime contracts
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This PR separates reusable agent instructions from request-specific context across provider boundaries and changes how prompts, skills, and cache controls are assembled. Merge readiness remains moderate because unresolved compatibility and default-prompt behavior can reject supported skill IDs or omit agent instructions, while some cross-runtime paths may not be exercised by all configured test runners; these issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

The layered call-context branch now integrates the static advertised load_skill contract from PR #3433 and locks the combined invariant across standalone and hosted project contexts. Different project IDs and skill manifests produce identical provider tools and identical first system messages. Constraint: PR #3435 depends on PR #3433 because project-specific load_skill descriptions or schemas invalidate the shared prefix. Rejected: Duplicate the load_skill depersonalization in this branch | merging the verified dependency preserves one implementation and its focused coverage. Confidence: high Scope-risk: moderate Directive: Keep project skill IDs in the dynamic available_skills block and runtime validation, never in the provider-advertised load_skill definition. Tested: 97 focused load_skill, shared-prefix, call-context, agent-definition, and hosted-system-message tests; targeted format, lint, typecheck, and diff checks. Not-tested: Full repository suite will run through the branch pre-push hook.

@codex review exact head eafd701. The internal SSE composer now delegates structured AgentSystem composition directly to the shared builder, eliminating Head, Tail, runtime blocks, Tail duplication. The regression failed before the change and passes now. The internal stream/composer/shared-builder/factory matrix passes 120 Deno steps, the corresponding Node matrix passes, targeted type checks pass, full lint:ci passes, generated docs are current, and git diff --check passes. |

Review found that Anthropic cache breakpoint accounting could still treat inherited or accessor-backed cacheControl metadata as active. The accounting path now inspects provider buckets and cacheControl through own descriptors, treats unsafe cacheControl metadata as absent, and snapshots returned buckets without preserving unsafe properties. Constraint: PR #3437 was replayed on top of guarded remote head c6b32a5, which already contains the non-emitted cache metadata fix. Constraint: #3435 head 567800c is not integrated; stack integration is pending the requested final audited handoff. Rejected: Keep throwing on cacheControl accessors | breakpoint accounting only needs safe own data metadata and must not invoke accessors. Confidence: high Scope-risk: narrow Directive: Do not read Anthropic cacheControl through property access; use own descriptors so unsafe metadata stays inert. Tested: deno test --preload=src/testing/preload.ts --no-check --allow-all extensions/ext-llm-anthropic/src/anthropic-request-builder.test.ts src/agent/runtime/call-context.test.ts src/agent/hosted/cloud-runtime-system-messages.test.ts Tested: deno check src/agent/index.ts extensions/ext-llm-anthropic/src/anthropic-request-builder.ts Tested: deno task typecheck Tested: deno task docs:api-reference:check Not-tested: Full pre-push did not complete; exact-head attempts hit isolated API cache backend request timeouts and SOCKS failures in network-backed tests, and the latest run was stopped after #3437 advanced from 6fa862a to c6b32a5.
Merging the final #3435 squash into #3437 restored the mainline descriptor path but dropped the guard that keeps non-Anthropic provider aliases from participating in Anthropic cache accounting. The guard is restored while preserving descriptor-only cacheControl reads, so accessors remain inert and non-Anthropic metadata stays provider-owned. Constraint: #3437 must contain main's merged #3435 state plus the descriptor-only review fix without rewriting the remote PR branch. Rejected: Treat every active provider alias as Anthropic cache metadata | OpenAI-style cacheControl metadata must not cause Veryfront to add or normalize Anthropic breakpoints. Confidence: high Scope-risk: narrow Directive: When resolving future call-context merges, keep both checks: provider aliases must classify as Anthropic by key or cacheControl shape, and cacheControl must be read only from own enumerable data descriptors. Tested: deno test --preload=src/testing/preload.ts --no-check --allow-all src/agent/runtime/call-context.test.ts Tested: deno check src/agent/runtime/call-context.ts
Merging the current #3437 head brought in regenerated source anchors for the Anthropic validation stack. Regenerating the API reference reconciles those anchors with the local #3435 carry-forward and descriptor-only fixes. Constraint: #3437 must preserve the externally pushed b919189 stack and keep generated public API docs current before any guarded non-force push. Rejected: Keep the remote-generated docs unchanged | the merged source tree shifts agent source anchors, and docs:api-reference:check reports the stale artifact. Confidence: high Scope-risk: narrow Directive: Regenerate API docs after merging concurrent PR heads that touch agent runtime source positions. Tested: deno task docs

Implements RFC 0001 example A by separating reusable agent instructions from request-specific context and preserving that structure through every provider boundary.
What changes
load_skillschema project-independent. The dynamic tail publishes the exhaustive authorized skill IDs separately from the bounded descriptive skill catalog, including an explicit empty inventory.Compatibility and safety
.mdsuffix remain callable.Verification
Remaining external evidence
The repository has no configured live-provider/VCR harness for provider-reported cache creation and cache-read token counters. Structural request-builder coverage verifies the exact cached and uncached block boundary; live provider telemetry is not claimed here.
Related: veryfront-agent RFC 0001 (veryfront-agent #1788) and #3433.
