middleware.rs

//! Middleware overlay — cross-cutting concerns (Audit / MainAI / Senior /
//! LongHold).
//!
//! Ships four `SpawnerLayer` implementations plus the `SpawnerStack` builder.
//! Some layers key off `Ctx.operator.kind` and only fire for
//! `MainAi` / `Composite` sessions; others (`Audit` / `LongHold`) apply
//! uniformly across every kind.
//!
//! # Extension discipline — this layer is THE extension point (canonical)
//!
//! Background: an earlier iteration grew a verdict-specialised machinery
//! (`judgment.rs` canonical type + 3-form parser + `state.agent_verdicts`
//! map + dedicated accessor) that re-interpreted agent output *inside the
//! engine core* and banned string-literal conds in favour of a Blueprint
//! compile-layer translation. That whole complex was dismantled: the value
//! it added over plain data was zero, while it created an IN-side dialect
//! that every consumer had to learn. The design conclusion is a
//! three-principle layering:
//!
//! 1. **IN is immutable, canonical form is JSON.** `Blueprint` /
//!    `mlua_flow_ir::Node` are plain serde data. No compile pass, no schema
//!    field that the engine expands, no Rust helper that builds `Expr`s.
//!    Flow control is written literally in Flow.ir:
//!    `Eq(Path("$.<step>.verdict"), Lit("blocked"))` — domain verdicts are
//!    plain strings inside step output, consumed by plain conds.
//! 2. **Generation (authoring sugar) lives OUT**, on the consumer side
//!    (e.g. a vendored pure-Lua builder that prints Blueprint JSON). It
//!    never leaks into engine / schema crates, whatever language it is
//!    written in — the ban is on the *placement*, not the language.
//! 3. **Runtime extension lives HERE, as a `SpawnerLayer`.** A middleware
//!    (or any future extension mechanism) may interpret the *results* of a
//!    Flow.ir run — `Ctx`, the `output_tail`, `Final { ok }` — in its own
//!    way and transform them. What it must NOT do:
//!    - introduce a new dialect on the IN side (schema fields / node
//!      rewriting / cond translation) — extensions read and transform, the
//!      wire format stays plain Flow.ir + JSON;
//!    - hide its effect: overrides are *appended* to the output tail
//!      (e.g. `SeniorEscalationMiddleware` pushes an override `Final`
//!      rather than mutating the recorded one), so the trace stays
//!      replayable and the flow stays observable;
//!    - accumulate private engine state keyed by its own semantics (the
//!      `agent_verdicts` anti-pattern) — state lives in ctx / output store
//!      as plain data.
//!
//! `AgentResolver`, `ProjectNameAliasMiddleware`, `SinkMiddleware`,
//! `InputInjectMiddleware`, `LuaMiddleware`, `SeniorEscalationMiddleware`,
//! `TaskInputMiddleware` all follow this shape: edit `ctx` / wrap the
//! worker, call the inner spawner, append observable output. Note
//! `LuaMiddleware`'s scripts are host-constructed — embedding Lua source
//! in a Blueprint is the IN-side dialect this discipline forbids, and
//! would require its own guard design if ever revisited).

// # base vs hint — when to use each
//
// - **base layer**: wrapped around every Blueprint. Example: AuditMiddleware
//   (a mandatory EventLog audit). The caller registers with
//   `LayerRegistry::with_base(|e| Arc::new(AuditMiddleware::new(e.event_tx())))`.
//
// - **hint layer**: wrapped **only when the Blueprint declares the key** in
//   `spawner_hints.layers`. Examples: MainAIMiddleware /
//   SeniorEscalationMiddleware / OperatorDelegateMiddleware. The Blueprint
//   only declares a capability key (e.g. `"main_ai"`) without knowing the
//   implementation; the engine-side LayerRegistry resolves key → factory,
//   keeping the pure Flow layer separate from implementation details.
//
// # Factory pattern (handles layers that need Engine context)
//
// We do not hold `Arc<dyn SpawnerLayer>` directly because some layers
// depend on the engine instance — for example AuditMiddleware needs
// `engine.event_tx()` and can only be built after the engine exists. A
// factory closure defers construction: the Layer instance is created only
// when the engine is handed in.

/// Factory closure for a `SpawnerLayer`. The caller registers these at
/// startup, and they are called with the engine context at bind time.
/// Stateless layers can use `|_engine| Arc::new(MyLayer)`; layers that need
/// something like `event_tx` should do `|engine| Arc::new(MyLayer::new(engine.event_tx()))`.

///
/// # Independent of `OperatorKind` (Operator is a generic abstraction)

/// An earlier implementation gated on `kind == MainAi | Composite`, which

/// weakness. The `Operator` trait is a generic **external processing backend**
/// (LLM, human, external resource, side-effectful operation — anything), and
/// is orthogonal to the kind axis.
///
/// The current implementation decides solely on `operator.is_some()`:
/// - Automate session + operator backend registered → delegate
///   (pure external-execution delegation).
/// - MainAi session + operator backend registered → delegate.
/// - Any kind + `operator` `None` → pass through (normal `inner.spawn`).
///
/// `kind` still matters as a firing condition for `SpawnHook`s over in
/// `MainAIMiddleware`, but this middleware ignores it.
///
/// # Split of responsibilities with `OperatorSpawner`
///
/// The two axes exist for different reasons:
///
/// - **This middleware — the Blueprint-global (session) axis.** Delegate every
///   agent to the same Operator backend. The `operator_backend_id` is set
///   at session-attach time; `ctx.agent` is ignored and every spawn in that
///   session is routed through the operator (e.g. a MainAI-wide driver, or a
///   human-wide console). The Blueprint doesn't have to talk about `kind` —
///   it just declares the capability hint `"operator_delegate"` (keeping the
///   Blueprint clean).
///
/// - **`OperatorSpawner` — the AgentSpec axis.** Each `AgentDef` bakes its
///   own Operator backend. `kind = Operator` `AgentDef`s pick a backend via
///   `spec.operator_ref`; the compiler bakes an `Arc<dyn Operator>` into
///   `routes[agent_name]`. Agents loaded via the `agent.md` loader come in
///   through this path (their default is `kind = Operator`).
///
/// # Exclusivity
///
/// When both are effective — this middleware's hint is declared, the session
/// has an operator backend, **and** the Blueprint has a `kind = Operator`
/// `AgentDef` — this middleware sits at the outer end of the stack and
/// **completely bypasses** `inner.spawn`. The `OperatorSpawner` is never
/// reached, so a double fire cannot occur by construction; the AgentSpec
/// axis is inert. Consistent use means picking one axis per use case.
