The Transport port took the request apart into five arguments, so a tier
placed on ChatRequest could never reach _build_payload: the field was set,
read by nobody, and silently ignored - the exact shape of failure that sent
downstream to extra_body in the first place.
complete() now takes reasoning_effort with no default, matching the
TelemetryRecorder convention: a default would turn a missing hand-off into
a silent 'no opinion'. All four fakes move with it, since @runtime_checkable
checks method names and not signatures.
EmbeddingTransport and OcrTransport are deliberately left alone - they have
no reasoning semantics - and a test now holds that line.
_build_payload drops its inline sugar conversion for effective_effort(), so
the guard and the hot path share one judgement, and passes the source's
effort_fallback for the same reason.
The three-layer priority (call > source > enable_thinking sugar > silence)
now lives in one pure function, thinking.effective_effort(). The assembly
guard and the request hot path used to each carry their own inline copy of
the sugar conversion; two copies of the same judgement drift into the worst
shape there is - passes at assembly, raises at runtime.
The guard now also honours effort_fallback, so a source that opted into
nearest is no longer sentenced at assembly for a tier it could have mapped.
Telemetry degradation used to be a single warning and a private boolean.
In a long-running process that is indistinguishable from telemetry working:
issue #15 was only found by hand-reconciling milestone log lines against
llm_calls rows, after 19 calls had silently gone unrecorded. The SQLite
side was worse — once init failed, every write returned without even a
log line.
Degradation now has one shared owner. TelemetryStatusTracker holds the
state machine (enter/recover/drop/should-retry), announces entry and
recovery once each, and repeats the drop count under a row-and-time
double threshold so a degraded backend neither floods the log nor goes
quiet. Both recorders hold one; both count the rows they drop.
For programmatic consumers, TelemetryStatus is a frozen snapshot exposed
as telemetry_status on all three clients, resolved through a single
isinstance check. It is a separate optional port rather than a member of
TelemetryRecorder: that protocol is @runtime_checkable, so adding an
attribute would make every implementation that only defines
record_llm_call stop satisfying it — downstream isinstance assertions
would break on upgrade. The existing assertion in test_ports.py is what
keeps that decision honest.
Failure criteria are deliberately untouched here: Postgres still treats a
pool failure as permanent, only now visibly. `_failed` and the tracker
therefore both carry the verdict for the span of this one change; the
cooldown rework collapses them into the tracker alone.
A client used to close whatever transport, recorder or cache it happened
to hold, injected or not, so the first client to shut down killed the
backend its siblings were still using. That is why the explicit-sharing
path the architecture prescribes was unusable in practice and downstream
projects fell back to one private instance per client. The mirror image
of the same gap: the redis clients the factories build for the limiter
and the breaker were never closed at all, because nobody kept a
reference to them once they were handed to the retry middleware.
Ownership is now stated once, the way RedisLimiter already stated it:
whoever builds a resource closes it, injected ones are left alone. The
constructor is the full-injection path, so it owns nothing by default
and only the factories mark what they built. RedisCache gains the same
rule for its own client, and the three copies of the "probe for aclose,
fall back to close" dance collapse into a single helper so the next
correction cannot land in only one of them.
`PGW_TELEMETRY_TEXT_CAP` now reaches the emitter on every assembly path.
Unset means no truncation, which stays the default: a truncated row is
no longer audit evidence and cannot be replayed, and downstreams rely on
that today. The flip side — contracts and bids sitting in `llm_calls`
indefinitely, multi-tenant — is spelled out in `.env.example` so readers
can weigh both.
All three `from_settings` paths are wired (chat, embedding, OCR): they
write the same table, so capping only chat would leave half of it
uncontrolled. `TelemetryEmitter.__init__` now rejects `text_cap <= 0`;
it is the single point where the three clients converge, so the direct
construction path — a public assembly route the settings guard never
sees — is covered too. `0` would otherwise reduce every body to a bare
elision marker.
The cache-key test only asserted a hit, so a key degraded to a constant
would still pass it. Adding a namespace control group that must miss
proves the key still distinguishes inputs; verified by degrading
build_cache_key to a constant and watching the case go red.
The allow_nan=False branch had no test at all. A ChatRequest built with
a nan meta value (bypassing the entry validation, i.e. a future entry
point that forgets to validate) must drop the row and not raise;
verified red by removing allow_nan=False.
Also restore the read-only file permissions in a finally block, so a
failing assertion does not get masked by a PermissionError from tmp_path
cleanup; rename the warnings fixture to captured_warnings so it stops
shadowing the stdlib module; and drop a downstream business term from a
fixture value (zero-business-assumption rule).
Validation runs before the request enters the onion: every failure inside it
is downgraded to a warning by the telemetry layer, so validating in there
would not validate anything.
The dimensions stay out of the cache key — cache_namespace already carries
tenant isolation, and folding meta in would cold-start every existing entry.
enable_thinking=False was a no-op for minimax and openai sources: both
profiles had empty dicts on each side, so the payload update injected
nothing while the caller believed reasoning had been turned off. A
downstream project was blocked on exactly this.
The root cause is that an empty dict meant two different things -- "no
injection needed" and "we do not know how this provider spells it" --
and that a provider-level table cannot express what turned out to be a
per-model property. Live testing showed MiniMax-M3 can disable
reasoning via reasoning_effort while M2.7 and M2.5 cannot be disabled
at all, which two external registries independently confirm.
So the shape stays at provider level and a capability table joins it at
model level. Unknown, unsupported and no-opinion are now three distinct
values, and resolve_thinking is the single place they meet: it raises at
assembly time when a model cannot honour the request, warns and injects
for unregistered models, and injects silently otherwise. Every registered
capability carries the evidence it was derived from.
enable_thinking also joins the cache fingerprint, since it now really
does change the request body.
Classify empty completions as transient per human ruling (fixes flaky
real-gateway smoke and prevents caching empty responses), rename the
factory injection parameter gate to breaker per the frozen design,
rewrite the probe-entry cleanup without except BaseException, declare
python-dotenv explicitly, add a mid-backoff cancellation test, and
record all implementation errata in the design and architecture docs.
Includes config aggregation for multi-source env keys, from_env and
from_settings factories with explicit shared-backend injection,
gather_bounded, top-level exports, tightened import-linter layers with
the gate removed from the Makefile, and the finalized .env.example.
