tool_memory.rs

//! Durable tool-repair learning for the flagship assistant — the "gets better
//! over time" half.
//!
//! The assistant already *remembers* (`memory::MemoryTools` — durable facts the
//! model chooses to write) and already *reacts* to recent trajectory pressure
//! (`agent_loop::maybe_apply_assistant_proactive_memory`). Neither makes it
//! better at anything: a user whose task it fumbled three sessions running
//! watched it fumble the same way a fourth time, because nothing turned "this
//! is what finally worked" into something a later run could reach.
//!
//! The coder solved this for its check-repair loop in
//! [`crate::coder::skill_memory`]. This is the same shape moved onto the
//! assistant's own unit of work — a **tool call** rather than a contract check.
//!
//! ## Shape
//!
//! A learned repair is a `car-memgine` skill whose trigger is keyed on a
//! **normalized failure signature**: the tool's name plus a coarse error class
//! (`shell::missing_command`, `http_request::not_found`). The signature is
//! stored as a structured trigger (canonical, `kind = "assistant_tool_repair"`)
//! and echoed into `task_keywords` so the existing keyword `find_skill` matcher
//! can recall it, exactly as the coder does.
//!
//! The *approach* captured on the skill is the arguments of the call that
//! recovered — a real, concrete `shell({"command":"python3 -m pytest -q"})`
//! rather than a model-written summary of one. That is deliberate: the thing
//! worth replaying is what was actually executed, and it costs no inference to
//! capture.
//!
//! ## What counts as learning something
//!
//! A tool fails, then the **same tool** succeeds within
//! [`RECOVERY_WINDOW_TURNS`] turns **with different arguments**. All three
//! conditions carry weight, and the third is the one that took a review to get
//! right.
//!
//! The pairing is still a heuristic, and its error mode is worth stating: a
//! success that differs from the failure is not *proven* to be what fixed it.
//! But without the differs-from clause it was not a heuristic so much as a
//! collector — every routine success on a read-heavy tool harvested whatever
//! failure happened to be open, so `web_search` failing once and then serving
//! three ordinary queries would store the last unrelated query as the durable
//! "repair" for `web_search::not_found`. An identical retry that happens to work
//! is a transient, not a repair.
//!
//! It is tempting to lean on the memgine skill store to sort this out after the
//! fact — a lead that keeps not working accumulates failures and auto-degrades
//! once `fail_count > success_count + 2`, and does earn its way back if it
//! starts working again. That backstop is real but it is NOT symmetric, and the
//! asymmetry is the trap: a lead only accrues a failure when it was offered and
//! its signature then failed AGAIN in the same run, so a wrong lead that the
//! model simply works around collects successes and never a single failure.
//! Degradation catches a lead that goes stale. It cannot catch one that was
//! never a repair, which is why the crediting rule has to be the thing that
//! holds.
//!
//! ## Persistence
//!
//! Learned repairs live in their own file (`~/.car/memory/assistant-repairs.json`),
//! NOT in the assistant's note store. Two reasons. The note store's on-disk
//! format is notes-only and shared with the MCP server
//! (`car_memgine::note_store`), so widening it would change a format another
//! reader parses. And a learned repair is not a fact about the user: mixing
//! machine-derived tool trivia into the graph the user's `recall` reads would
//! put `shell::exit_1` in front of a question about their dog.
//!
//! Outcome counts survive reload via
//! [`car_memgine::MemgineEngine::restore_skill_stats`] rather than by replaying
//! N synthetic outcomes — see that method for why replay is wrong.
//!
//! ## Degradation is not a hard dependency
//!
//! Like the coder's store, this one is optional everywhere.
//! [`ToolMemory::disabled`] yields a handle whose every method is a cheap no-op,
//! a poisoned lock degrades to no-op rather than propagating a panic into the
//! agent loop, and a failed disk write is logged and swallowed. Learning is a
//! bonus on top of a run; it may never be the reason a run fails.
