// The v1 Pi installer for the scout launcher — the `run_scout_wave` tool: the authoring // sessions' blocking, code-owned fan-out of 1–6 self-contained read-only briefs onto fresh // `perk.scout` lanes over the composition root's `ReportWave` (contracts.md §8.70). The wave // mechanics, the closed report schema, and the `` envelope live in // `waves/scoutWave.ts`; this module is the ADAPTER tier — decode → model resolution → Result // rendering — with no feature policy of its own. // // The decoder is the strict tool boundary: it mirrors the closed parameters schema (so a direct // `execute` caller — the harness, any programmatic path — refuses identically to the live // schema-validated path) and adds what the schema cannot express (key uniqueness, the trimmed // UTF-8 byte cap, the fence-literal refusal). Every violation is a `bad_input` soft failure // BEFORE any spawn, and the admitted shape makes the wave's programmer-error throws // (`validateAssignments`, `renderRoutingToken`) unreachable. // // Child-controlled text is framed so it cannot escape its block: report JSON is rendered under a // content-proof fence (longer than any backtick run inside, no raw line terminator survives), // and a failed lane's arbitrary error string is collapsed to one bounded line. There is NO // stage check here — the read-only gate (`REFINEMENT_READ_ONLY_TOOLS` excludes the tool) is the // one authority for the refinement-stage exclusion. import type { ExtensionAPI } from "@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent"; import { subagentModel } from "../../substrate/config.ts"; import { failFor, ok, type Result } from "../../substrate/result.ts"; import { arrayParam, paramsOf } from "../../substrate/toolParams.ts"; import type { ReportTarget } from "../../surfaces/report.ts"; import { type AssignmentReport, type ReportWave, type ReportWaveAttemptReceipt, type ReportWaveFailure, toAttemptReceipt, } from "../../waves/reportWave.ts"; import { runScoutWave, SCOUT_BRIEF_FENCE_CLOSE, SCOUT_BRIEF_FENCE_OPEN, SCOUT_BRIEF_KEY_PATTERN, SCOUT_FLOW, SCOUT_MAX_BRIEFS, SCOUT_MAX_TASK_BYTES, type ScoutBrief, } from "../../waves/scoutWave.ts"; const TOOL_NAME = "run_scout_wave"; // ------------------------------------------------------------------- the tool-boundary decode /** The strict decode outcome: the admitted briefs, or the FIRST violation's named detail. */ export type ScoutBriefsDecode = { ok: true; briefs: ScoutBrief[] } | { ok: false; detail: string }; const SHAPE_HINT = `${TOOL_NAME} needs { briefs: [{ key, task }, …] } (1–${SCOUT_MAX_BRIEFS} briefs)`; function refuse(detail: string): ScoutBriefsDecode { return { ok: false, detail }; } /** * Decode unknown tool-call params into the admitted briefs (the tool-boundary seam).
