docs: clarify runtime determinism boundaries - #3659
Conversation
The docs now describe determinism as bounded by runtime contracts and provider behavior instead of treating tool, workflow, and code execution as categorically repeatable. This keeps the guidance aligned with temperature 0 behavior while preserving implementation-backed claims where Veryfront owns the deterministic boundary. Constraint: Temperature 0 and provider execution paths do not guarantee repeatability Rejected: Remove every determinism claim | Specific runtime-backed claims still help readers reason about Veryfront behavior Confidence: high Scope-risk: narrow Tested: deno fmt --check on all 15 changed files Tested: deno task docs:validate (69 guides, 1344 links, 95 guide checks; one pre-existing warning that webhook is not listed in getting-started index) Tested: VF_DISABLE_LRU_INTERVAL=1 deno test --no-check --allow-all templates/index.test.ts (42 steps) Tested: git diff --check Not-tested: Full repository test suite

The agent concept page now separates resources as readable context from the executable surfaces that can act. This addresses the review thread without broadening the docs change beyond the ownership boundary. Constraint: Resources describe context surfaces, while tools, runs, and app routes own execution paths Rejected: Keep resources grouped with execution surfaces | That wording implies resources can execute work Confidence: high Scope-risk: narrow Tested: deno fmt --check docs/concepts/agent.md Tested: deno task docs:validate (69 guides, 1344 links, 95 guide checks; same pre-existing webhook index warning) Tested: git diff --check Not-tested: Full repository test suite

Inline comments:
In `@docs/concepts/agent.md`:
- Around line 38-40: Update the execution-boundary sentence near “Tools, runs,
and app routes” to make the list explicitly non-exhaustive or add tasks and
workflows, aligning it with the execution ownership described in
framework-primitives.md.
In `@docs/concepts/eval.md`:
- Around line 11-12: Update the guidance sentence near the eval introduction to
refer to “agent or tool behavior” instead of “model behavior,” while preserving
the existing wording about measuring behavior across examples rather than using
a single unit test.
In `@docs/guides/choose-a-primitive.md`:
- Line 35: Update the Tool row in the decision table to say “An agent or
workflow needs a typed operation...” instead of limiting the guidance to agents,
while preserving the existing operation examples and surrounding table content.

The concept and selection docs now describe executable ownership consistently across agents, tools, tasks, workflows, runs, and routes. The eval and primitive chooser language also reflects that tools and workflows can be measured or use typed tools without implying resources execute work. Constraint: Primitive guidance must not contradict concept-level ownership boundaries Rejected: Patch only the reviewed lines independently | The three threads describe the same cross-page primitive consistency issue Confidence: high Scope-risk: narrow Tested: deno fmt --check on the three changed files Tested: deno task docs:validate (69 guides, 1344 links, 95 guide checks; same pre-existing webhook index warning) Tested: git diff --check Not-tested: Full repository test suite
