1111-1116: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winRoute A ignores
text_only_correction="custom"; the custom callback never runs.
_resolve_text_only_correction()reports the effective correction mode, and Route B checks it before calling_append_custom_text_only_correction(see line 1188). Route A does not perform this check. On validation failure, Route A always callsself._add_text_only_correction(runtime, call), sotext_only_correction_fnis never invoked here.The routing condition at line 1051 selects Route A based on
text_only_stop_behavior == "return_result", which is the field's own default. So any caller who setstext_only_correction="custom"without also changingtext_only_stop_behaviorto"synthetic_comment"gets append-only preservation (since_append_only_text_onlyis already True), but the correction message is always the generic one —text_only_correction_fnis silently skipped. This contradicts the documented contract inCodeActConfig.text_only_correction("custom — calltext_only_correction_fn(text)") and the PR objective of a configurable custom-correction mode.The only new test for custom correction (
test_custom_text_only_correction_appends_custom_message) setstext_only_stop_behavior="synthetic_comment"explicitly, so it does not catch this gap.🐛 Proposed fix
session.record_text_only() - self._add_text_only_correction(runtime, call) + if self._resolve_text_only_correction() == "custom": + self._append_custom_text_only_correction(runtime, call, _text) + else: + self._add_text_only_correction(runtime, call)🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

opaque reasoning state.

- Around line 1068-1074: Update the append-only recovery logic around
_append_only_text_only so Bedrock CompletionClient sessions do not retain
consecutive assistant messages. Detect the Bedrock provider and either disable
append-only recovery for it or coalesce the retained LLMOutput with the
synthetic ToolCallEvent before appending the user correction, while preserving
the existing stateless replay behavior for providers that support consecutive
assistant messages.

…program - D-01 approved: add the concrete cross-model plain-text demotion design (stateless render-time transform, labeled block on the same assistant turn, preserved ordering, idempotent, char/token budget with drop reasons) - D-02 overridden: reasoning is exported by default to journal, OTLP, trace download, bug reports, and normal Event Explorer previews (tracing retains everything sent to the model); export_reasoning=false is opt-in suppression; opaque blobs stay out of traceback/repr only; event-store persistence across shutdown/resume confirmed - D-03 decided: supersede PR #301; carry its model_family prefix fix and provenance plumbing into PR 1/PR 2; #261 and #268 remain foundations - D-05 decided: toolbar label ^in / vout / reused-cached% (n/m) with cache segment hidden when the endpoint capability reports no cache support and ASCII fallback - D-06 decided: include AnyLLM strictly last — no adapter work until the reasoning and telemetry tracks are demonstrably working; prototype branch remains reference-only - D-04 remains open pending Janson's cross-harness compatibility survey (request dispatched on the mesh)
