resolve_thinking now takes an Effort instead of a tri-state bool, and the
four gates become five. The new one sits ahead of the generic tier check
on purpose: asking for `none` on GLM-5.3 used to fall through to "none is
not supported, pick low/high/max", which loses both the fact that the
model cannot stop reasoning and the one tier the caller could switch to
right now. Without that alternative, downstream goes looking for
extra_body — which is how issue #20 happened in the first place.
The return type is a ThinkingResolution rather than the payload alone.
Under fallback="nearest" the tier that goes out is not the tier that was
asked for, and telemetry has to record the one that ran, or task 10 files
a call under a tier it never used. Ties in that mapping go to the weaker
side: a silent medium -> max is a multiple of the bill, and the library
does not raise a caller's price on its own.
Two readings the design left implicit, both settled the way its own
compatibility promise requires:
- `auto` is exempt from the tier list. It means "on, no tier named",
which in the body is the absence of the effort key, not a value of it.
Checking it against the list would break every existing source that
sets ENABLE_THINKING=true against deepseek-v4 or glm-5.3.
- `none` is never a mapping target. Turning "think less" into "do not
think" reverses the decision instead of cheapening it; a switch-only
model maps to `auto` and a model that only has `none` still errors.
Both call sites convert enable_thinking in place for now; task 5 folds
that into effective_effort along with the source- and call-level tiers.
The previous commit added the name to __all__ but never bound it, so
`from polygateway import ThinkingWire` and `import *` both raised while
the whole suite stayed green — the export test names symbols one by one,
and nobody thought to add the new one.
The guard is now the invariant rather than a longer list: every name in
__all__ must be an attribute of the package.
Eight segments now, and each one holds a ThinkingWire instead of two
fixed fragments: off, on_base, and the key a tier gets written to. The
two fragments could not say "on, at this depth", which is what every
current generation model wants.
Two deliberate behaviour changes fall out of it. The openai segment stops
reporting its shape as unknown — reasoning_effort is OpenAI's own field,
not a vendor dialect, so a compatible endpoint behind the gateway takes
it. And minimax's on-tier stops carrying a hardcoded medium: that was the
library picking a price for the caller, and medium is not even a tier GLM,
kimi or deepseek serve.
The issue #5 guards stay; their sample moves from "the openai segment" to
an explicitly registered unknown one, which is what they always meant to test.
The boolean could say a model reasons or does not. It could not say what
GLM-5.3 and Gemini 3 Pro actually do: refuse to stop reasoning while
still letting you ask for less. So capability becomes the list of tiers a
model serves, and `none`'s presence in it is what "can_disable" now reads.
Effort carries `auto` alongside the strength tiers. Nine of the models on
our gateway are pure switches with no tier to name, and without `auto`
they would have to borrow a strength tier to mean "on" — which is the
exact bug this work exists to remove.
Tiers land as documented guesses from four registries that agree; every
entry says so in its evidence, and task 10 replaces them with measurements.
Codex found the per-call tier never reaches the transport: the protocol
takes five unpacked arguments, not the request, so a field on ChatRequest
goes nowhere. That is now its own step, fakes included.
It also found the mapped tier would be lost — resolve_thinking returned
only the payload, so telemetry would file a mapped call under a tier it
never ran at, which is exactly the grouping task 10 depends on.
The entity pages carry the rejected alternatives and why, so the next
reader does not have to reconstruct the argument: minimal patch cannot
fill a tier that does not exist, cherry's wire DSL buys four endpoint
protocols we do not have, and default_effort lost its only consumer the
moment enable_thinking=True became Effort.AUTO.
Ordered so the two type changes land first and everything else consumes
them: capability and wire in parallel, then the five gates, then the two
entry points, then cache key and telemetry, then the transport.
Task 10 exists because the human settled that the capability table is
measured through new-api, not read off a vendor page. Task 1 lands the
documented guess; task 10 replaces it with what the gateway does.
Codex argued `effort_fallback` had no verifiable consumer and could wait.
The human overruled that: swapping models is routine, and between "it
stops booting" and "it silently costs more" the caller deserves a middle
option it selects on purpose. So the mapping ships with this round.
issue #20 asks for one zhipu profile. Adding it does not fix what the
issue describes: GLM-5.3 mandates thinking (three sources agree, the
vendor included), so `none` is an undefined value we were sending, and
`medium` — the tier our minimax profile hardcodes — does not exist on
GLM, kimi or deepseek at all.
So the gap is the type, not the table. Capability becomes a tier list
where `none`'s presence answers "can it be turned off", and refusal
carries the cheapest tier that model does support — a refusal with no
way forward is what sent the caller to extra_body in the first place.
Reviewed by Codex, which caught two claims that were wrong: source-level
extra_body and enable_thinking already reach the cache key through the
model fingerprint, and the three reference projects are not in the
workspace, so "no callers" was a grep against absent directories.
issue #18: the retention script can be told which table it may delete
from, and the Postgres tests moved off the table three migration
projects also write to.
The assertion that was failing intermittently compared row counts on a
shared table before and after the run. It could go red because someone
else wrote, and green because an outside insert cancelled out a wrong
delete. That property now belongs to the database: the tests run as a
role that owns its scratch table and holds no grant on the shared one.
Both reviews landed on the same line independently. _as_role swaps the
credentials in the DSN with a regex, and when the pattern does not match
it returned the string unchanged. Two shapes miss it: no inline
credentials, and a unix socket URL. Either one is a legal DSN.
What that costs is not a broken test. The sandbox builds, every
assertion still passes, and bare_dsn is now the admin connection, so the
worst-case case runs the real script with --apply as a superuser against
the shared table. The verifier ran that command as a dry run to see what
it would have done: target public.llm_calls, 11 rows to delete. The case
would still have gone red on the exit code, after the rows were gone.
It raises now. There is also a second check that connects and compares
current_user, because a successful string substitution is not the same
as connecting as that role -- PGUSER and friends still override. The
whole design rests on that connection having no grant on the shared
table; a string comparison is too thin a thing to rest it on.
That check has to stay inside the try. Past it the cleanup statements
have already been merged into the fixture-level stack, and unwinding
again runs DROP OWNED BY twice, which has no IF EXISTS.
The catalog probe took any SQL and ran it on the admin connection. The
design claims withholding the DSN makes the boundary structural; that
was only true of the connection string, not of the capability. It takes
SELECT now.
--table's schema half is restricted to plain identifiers. Not a
security fix, since the name goes through a parameter and _quote: the
help text says complex identifiers are unsupported and the code was
accepting them anyway.
tools/ and tests/ are not in the package, so this release ships library
code identical to 1.3.1 byte for byte. Anyone who only uses the library
can skip it. Saying so up front is better than letting someone diff the
wheel and wonder what they missed.
What is in it: the retention script can now be told which table it may
delete from, and the Postgres tests no longer touch the table three
migration projects also write to.
The --table entry documents the failure it prevents rather than just
the flag. search_path starts with "$user", so the same command run as a
different role can resolve to a different table, and the script's own
printout of what it resolved lands in the same run as the DELETE.
The telemetry column list was renamed from _COLUMNS to COLUMNS at some
point and this tool was never updated, so make wiki-check has been dying
on an ImportError rather than checking anything. One line.
It still reports every page as missing, but that is the documentation
site being taken down in August, not a fault in the check.
Seven cases wrote straight into the shared table and told their rows
apart by a call_id prefix. Reading was never the problem; the prefix
did that correctly, and it was built for concurrent runs. What it could
not do was stop those writes and deletes from moving a row count that
another test was watching, which is how issue #18 turned red.
They now write into sandbox schemas, which also ends the orphan rows a
killed run used to leave in there. Six fixtures collapse into factory
calls; what they yield is unchanged, so the cases that consume them did
not have to be touched, which is what makes them worth anything as a
check on the move.
Two of the seven kept something. The pool footprint case needs a unique
application_name, since connections are an instance-wide resource that
schema isolation does not reach, so it generates its own uuid instead
of borrowing the run prefix. And the frozen-columns case was querying
information_schema without a schema filter, so any leftover table of
the same name anywhere in the database could fail it: the file already
knew this, in a comment explaining why another fixture cleans up so
carefully. It now filters, and gets checked against a leftover table
planted on purpose.
The gate that keeps the literal out of tests/ is a smoke alarm, not
proof. Concatenation and parameterised queries walk straight past it.
The isolation is the factory withholding the admin connection and the
script running as a role with no grant.
Until now the target came from whatever search_path resolved to. The
script printed what it found, but that print and the DELETE happen in
the same run with nobody in between, so it only ever helped the person
who ran a dry-run first. Swap the role that runs it and "$user" can
resolve somewhere else entirely.
--table takes the whole qualified name and resolves it directly. The
table half has to be llm_calls: a version that accepts any name turns
one typo into a general purpose row deleter, and any table with a
created_at and a tenant_id would go through the same batched DELETE
without complaint.
The tests that run it now run as a role that owns its own scratch table
and holds nothing on the shared one, so the row-count snapshot could
go. What replaced it is a case that lets the script fall through to the
shared table on purpose and asserts it exits 2 having deleted nothing.
That one has no red-first path, since making it red means running it as
the superuser, which is the thing being prevented; the finding's probe
covers it instead.
Five of the new usage tests passed before the flag existed, because
argparse rejects an unknown --table with exit 1 and the word --table in
stderr, which is exactly what they asserted. They now also assert the
error is not "unrecognized", which is the difference between testing
the validation and testing argparse.
Seven copies of "create a schema, hang it off search_path, drop it in
teardown" were spread across two files, each with its own cleanup. Any
one of them written wrong leaves the residue on a database shared with
real batch runs. This is one implementation, and it makes "the test
cannot reach the admin connection" a structural fact rather than a note
in a docstring.
Three role modes cover every fixture that exists today: none for plain
schema isolation, owner for the retention script's own runs, grantee
for the least-privilege deployment cases. Owner runs its DDL as itself
so it ends up owning the table; grantee is the opposite, since that
case only means anything when someone else built it.
The schema and the role deliberately get different prefixes. Give them
the same name and "$user" resolves to the sandbox, which hides the
shared table and quietly turns the worst-case test into a test of
nothing.
Writing it also turned up a bug in my first version: rolling back a
failed sandbox unwound the whole stack, so an earlier sandbox in the
same test lost its role mid-use. The test for it fails with a password
authentication error, which is what that looks like from the outside.
Each call now unwinds only what it created, and cleanup tries every
statement before raising, since one failure stranding the rest means
global roles left behind by hand.
The plan's one irreversible risk is the worst-case test itself. It
deliberately lets the script fall through to the shared table, and the
account in .env is a superuser, so running it before the sandbox role
exists would delete every expired row in there. All eleven rows on that
table predate any cutoff the tests use.
That forces the order: factory, then the retention tests move onto an
owner role, and only then does the case get written. Review caught that
the original order also made the --table integration cases impossible
to fail first, since the tool would already be implemented by the time
they were written. Same fix resolves both.
The worst-case case has no red-first path at all. Turning it red means
running it as the superuser, which is the thing being prevented, so its
evidence is the probe in the finding instead, and the plan says so
rather than calling it verified.
One acceptance criterion in the design turned out to be unrunnable: the
hint line only prints on the Postgres branch, so no unit test that
never connects can assert it. Corrected in place.
The failing assertion was never testing the script. It compared the row
count of a table three other projects also write to, before and after
the run, and the failure it reported (61 rows became 12) landed while
the script under test was demonstrably confined to its own schema.
A row count cannot carry the property that assertion stood in for. It
goes red when anyone else writes, and green when an outside insert
happens to cancel out a wrong delete. The second half is the one that
was guarding against a dropped audit table.
So the property moves to where the database enforces it: the script
runs as a role that owns its scratch table and holds no grant at all on
the shared one. Falling back to public stops being something a later
assertion might notice and becomes permission denied. Measured, along
with the rest of the Postgres semantics this rests on.
The tool grows --table so the target stops being whatever search_path
resolves to. The table half is pinned to llm_calls: without that, one
typo turns a telemetry cleaner into a general purpose row deleter.
Codex raised six problems and all are folded in. The one place this
still disagrees with it is recorded with the reason.
Whether a call actually reasoned is now a first-class return value
(issue #16 + #17). The issues blamed MiniMax-M3 for no longer
reasoning; probing the live gateway showed the opposite. M3 reasons
fine — 124 characters of it over SSE — and what changed is that the
MiniMax route stopped reporting completion_tokens_details while qwen
and deepseek still do. The library had staked the whole question on
that one field, so it held 185 characters of reasoning prose and
reported no reasoning.
ThinkingObservation says observed, absent, or unknown, and unknown
means the call left no signal rather than that nothing happened. The
verdict is reconciled against the capability table on every call, so a
declaration going stale becomes a warning instead of a silent illusion
— the M3 evidence had sat unchecked for twenty-three days. It lands in
telemetry too, because this surfaced only when someone ran a suite that
is excluded by default and had not run in eighteen days.
The reasoning_tokens docstring was still teaching downstream to treat
None or 0 as no reasoning. The changelog and the schema page had both
been corrected; the docstring had not, and it is the copy that ships in
the wheel and shows up on hover. Someone writing a report from it would
have counted every real MiniMax reasoning call as not reasoning, which
is issue #16 all over again with the tests green.
The original wording stays, since reading pre-1.3.1 rows still needs
it. What follows it now says when it expired and what to read instead.
Two more places had drifted the same way: the changelog and the
architecture doc described the throttle and the cache fallback as they
were before this review, which is to say as the opposite of what the
code now does.
The claim that the two throttle sets would suppress each other does not
survive checking, as the mutation testing showed: their key spaces do
not overlap. Keeping them apart is still right, but for the honest
reason, which is that the two warnings have unrelated lifetimes.
Three of them were the same shape as the bug this branch exists to fix:
something goes wrong, the library swallows it, and the caller is left
with a number that means the opposite of what happened.
The throttle key had no source in it. Five sources on one model is the
normal case here, so the first one to break would warn once and silence
the other four for the life of the process, and the message never said
which gateway to look at.
An unknown verdict in a cached entry threw away the whole response. The
rehydrator tolerates unknown fields but not unknown values of a known
field, so two library versions sharing a Redis would each invalidate
the other's entries: halved hit rate, and the only log line says the
cache rebuild failed. A purely observational field should not be able
to void a response whose content is intact.
Normalising for telemetry now degrades instead of raising, both for a
bare string and for a value outside the domain. Either one used to
reach the same except and cost the whole row, which is exactly how
1.3.0 lost nineteen calls without anyone noticing.
The telemetry field count is taken from inspect.signature, not from
memory, because that is the one the release checklist keeps catching.
llm-calls.md said 22 and was two rounds stale; fixing the title alone
would have left the table contradicting it, so tenant_id and meta are
documented too.
The production template needed no new column — it derives them with
LIKE. What it gained is an assertion that it must keep deriving them
and must not inline a column name, which is the drift that could
actually happen.
The changelog leads with the three breaking items. A patch number
carries no warning by design, so the entry has to.
The four cases were red because the criterion could not see the
evidence. reasoning_tokens has been None on this route ever since
MiniMax stopped reporting completion_tokens_details, while the same
call carried 185 characters of reasoning prose the assertions never
looked at.
L5 asserted something that cannot happen. M3 returns neither prose nor
usage detail over the plain endpoint, so demanding that the
non-streaming path observe reasoning could never pass. It now asserts
what is true and worth holding: the prompt_tokens anchor still
separates the two directions, so the parameter did reach the model, and
the verdict is not ABSENT, so the library marked the gap honestly
instead of dressing it up as no reasoning.
_ON_MIN_COMPLETION is gone. The two directions overlap in output length
— 46 at most disabled, 13 at least enabled — so that fallback drew a
line through noise and only made the criterion look defended.
The README's production template does not hand-write its columns; it
derives them with LIKE from the seed table, and the prose right above it
says so. Telling an executor to add a column there would have made
Postgres reject a duplicate, turned TestProductionTemplate red, and
broken deployment for anyone following it.
The claim came from another task's report and went into the plan without
opening the README. A finding relayed across tasks is a lead to verify,
not a fact. What replaces it is a shape assertion — the template must
derive via LIKE and must not inline any column name — which pins the
real risk of someone copying columns in later.
Also adds the Gitea wiki sync the plan had missed: docs-convention makes
a version bump commit illegal on its own.
The README carries a hand-written production DDL template that no test
ever compares against COLUMNS, so it can fall a column behind and stay
green. Downstream deploying from it would get a table without the new
column and the library would silently trim it — the same silence this
issue exists to remove. Task 9 now fixes the template and adds the
same-source assertion.
Also records two things the implementation disproved: caplog cannot see
loguru output, and reconcile_thinking has to be defined after the
dataclass it annotates, since this module evaluates annotations eagerly.
And the column-count table was incomplete — six more spots go red.
This issue surfaced only because someone ran a slow suite that is
excluded by default and had not been run for eighteen days. As a column
it becomes a query: which model stopped being observable, and when.
The emitter unwraps the enum to a plain str at the single _record exit.
asyncpg makes no promise about encoding a str subclass, and a telemetry
write that fails is downgraded to one warning — it would not crash, it
would just quietly cost the Postgres path a column. Normalising at the
emitter follows what tenant_id, meta and sampling already do.
The column is appended last in COLUMNS and in both DDLs. An existing
table can only take ALTER at the end, so putting it anywhere else
forks the physical column order between a freshly built database and a
backfilled one.
asdict keeps the enum and json.dumps writes it as a string because
StrEnum is a str subclass, but nothing turns it back on the way in, so
a cache hit returned a plain str where the annotation promised an enum.
Verified end to end rather than assumed from the subclass relation.
A value outside the domain now raises inside the existing guard and the
call falls back to source, which is the right direction for a poisoned
or stale cache entry. Entries written before this column existed still
replay: the guard checks for the key first, and a test pins that, since
turning it into an unconditional conversion would quietly turn every
pre-upgrade entry into a permanent miss.
The M3 evidence sat at 08-02 for twenty-three days while nobody could
tell whether it still held. A declaration that goes stale in silence is
the failure this issue is really about, so the library now compares
what it declared against what it just observed and says so when the two
part ways.
Judgement is separated from logging: reconcile_thinking returns the
warning text, so tests assert on the text instead of parsing logs.
Two cases that look alike are kept apart — a model whose capability is
registered gets a drift warning quoting its evidence, an unregistered
one is never told the table said anything, because it never did.
False x UNKNOWN stays silent on purpose. UNKNOWN cannot falsify
anything, and warning on it would fire on every disabled call M3 makes
over the plain endpoint. A warning that always fires is not a warning.
can_disable stays true — reasoning_effort=none still lands prompt 194,
completion 3, no prose. What the retest added are two limits worth
recording: the verdict is unobservable on the non-streaming path, where
reasoning is billed but neither prose nor usage detail comes back, and
enable_thinking / thinking:{enabled} remain inert on this model.
No behaviour changed, so there is no failing test to show first. The
evidence for a declaration that still holds is the retest itself, not
a unit test the library could write about its own claim.
Both assembly paths fill it, streaming and non-streaming alike. Filling
only one is exactly the divergence this issue exposed: M3 returns
reasoning prose over SSE and nothing at all over the plain endpoint, so
a verdict computed on one path says nothing about the other.
The field defaults to UNKNOWN on both TransportResult and LLMResponse.
A transport that does not judge should not get to declare absence on
the provider's behalf, and a default that stays silent is the only one
that cannot lie.
Both recorders are (self, **fields), not explicit parameter lists, so a
new column needs no signature change on them — COLUMNS plus an emitter
that passes it is enough. The port Protocol stays explicit because that
is where the emitter's contract and the freeze test anchor.
providers.py had been holding two jobs: the registry of what each
provider looks like, and the decisions made from those declarations.
Adding response-side judgement would have made it the module for
everything about reasoning, so the decisions move to thinking.py and
the registry keeps only profiles and their lookup.
Moving a module breaks any deep-path import of what moved, so the six
public symbols are promoted to the package root at the same time. The
top level is this library's stated API surface; giving downstream a
stable name to import is what makes the next reorganisation harmless.
observe_thinking stays unexported — downstream reads the verdict off
LLMResponse, and exporting it would be a permanent promise for nothing.
reasoning_tokens=None has been carrying two meanings at once, no
reasoning and no report, and the library resolved the ambiguity by
quietly claiming the first. ThinkingObservation splits them: UNKNOWN
says the call left no signal, ABSENT says the provider reported zero.
The verdict ranks evidence by hardness. Reasoning prose is the fact
itself; reasoning_tokens is a report about the fact, so a missing
report cannot overrule prose that is right there. The prose check
strips first, since a gateway that returns whitespace is not evidence.
The enum lives in types.py, not in the new thinking.py, because
LLMResponse is typed on it and the innermost layer must not import a
decision module.
Everything up to and including the full slow suite runs on the branch
without asking. Merging to main, pushing a tag, and uploading to the
registry cannot be taken back, and a registry version number cannot be
reused, so those wait for an explicit yes.
Also settles three things an executor would have tripped on: the
_AttemptUsage field is typed as the enum with .value applied only at
the recorder boundary, __all__ is not in strict alphabetical order, and
the port signature test freezes two params rather than the full list.
Each task carries its own failing-then-passing evidence and a command
whose output decides whether it is done. Two traps are called out where
an executor would otherwise walk into them: the enum has to live in
types.py or import-linter rejects the layering, and the 24 in
test_telemetry.py line 1787 counts OCR placeholder characters, not
telemetry columns.
The enum belonged in types.py all along: making LLMResponse field-typed
on a symbol defined in thinking.py would have had the innermost layer
import a decision module, and import-linter would have caught it only
after the code was written.
The 4.1 table claimed reconciliation could still catch a failed disable
while section 5 said UNKNOWN never speaks. UNKNOWN has no falsifying
power; the guarantee only covers observable paths, and the doc now says
so instead of pretending otherwise.
Section 12 was written against a misreading: _record already is the
single helper the ironclad rule asks for, so there was no debt to
decline. Landing sites had missed ports.py, whose record_llm_call
freezes 24 explicit params with no defaults, and cache.py, where
_rehydrate revives the enum as a bare string.
The design argued for 1.4.0 because a broken deep-path import hidden
behind a patch bump is a debt handed to downstream. The call is 1.3.1.
Since the version number no longer carries the warning, the CHANGELOG
has to: breaking items and their fixes go first in the entry, following
the 1.3.0 read-this-first form.
The four red e2e cases were blamed on MiniMax-M3 no longer reasoning.
Raw gateway probes show the opposite: M3 reasons fine (124 chars of
reasoning_content, prompt 194 to 216, completion 3 to 60). What changed
is that the MiniMax route stopped returning completion_tokens_details,
while qwen and deepseek still do on the same gateway and key. The
library already holds 185 chars of proof in LLMResponse.thinking and
never feeds it into any verdict.
The design turns that verdict into a first-class return value judged
from multiple signals, says UNKNOWN when a single response cannot tell,
and reconciles it against the capability table so a stale declaration
becomes a warning instead of a silent illusion.
