klieo-core 0.6.0

Core traits + runtime for the klieo agent framework.
Documentation
//! Pre/post-LLM validation hooks for refuse + handoff workflows.
//!
//! A [`Guardrail`] inspects the outgoing [`ChatRequest`] before the LLM
//! call (`pre_llm`) and the returned [`ChatResponse`] after the call
//! (`post_llm`). Each hook produces a [`GuardrailOutcome`]:
//!
//! - [`GuardrailOutcome::Pass`] — accept; the runtime continues.
//! - [`GuardrailOutcome::Refuse`] — halt the run with
//!   [`Error::Refused`](crate::error::Error::Refused).
//! - [`GuardrailOutcome::Handoff`] — halt the run with
//!   [`Error::Handoff`](crate::error::Error::Handoff). Callers route
//!   to a different agent.
//!
//! Guardrails are installed per-run via
//! [`RunOptions.guardrails`](crate::runtime::RunOptions). Multiple
//! guardrails run in registration order; the first non-`Pass` outcome
//! short-circuits the run.
//!
//! Two ready-to-use implementations live in this module:
//! [`RefusalKeywordGuardrail`] catches obvious deny-keywords in the
//! outgoing user message or the assistant reply, and
//! [`MaxResponseLengthGuardrail`] caps the assistant reply length.
