prompt.rs

1//! Prompt construction.
2//!
3//! These strings are the actual product. The graph only moves bytes around; how
4//! well a run goes is decided by what the judges are asked to look at and what
5//! they are forbidden to speculate about.
6//!
7//! Two rules run through all of them:
8//!
9//! * **No authorship.** Nothing an agent receives names a model or a vendor,
10//!   and every prompt that could invite a guess explicitly forbids guessing.
11//! * **Checkable claims.** Judges and reviewers are told to verify assertions
12//!   against the repository, and to name a trigger for every defect. That is
13//!   what makes an unread patch defensible.

282    let mut s = String::from(

284# Asking the owner\n\n\
285If a decision is genuinely the owner's - a product choice, a tradeoff with no \
286technically correct answer, something that would be expensive to undo - stop \
287and ask instead of guessing:\n\n\
288```sh\n\
289magi ask --summary \"Which storage backend?\" --choice SQLite --choice Redis\n\
290```\n\n\
291It blocks and prints the owner's answer on stdout. Omit `--choice` for a \
292free-text reply.\n\n\
293**An answer is an instruction to you.** Every question presumes that once \
294the owner answers, you carry the answer out yourself: the process blocked \
295in `magi ask` continues with it. So never ask permission for something you \
296can and should just do - resuming a parked run, which the project \
297instructions already tell you to do, is done, not asked about. Only when a \
298part genuinely cannot be done by you, say in the question WHO will do it \
299(agent, operator or daemon) for each choice, and start each `--choice` label \
300with that actor, so the owner knows whether picking it leads to action or to \
301waiting on someone:\n\n\
302```sh\n\
303magi ask --summary \"Token expired: who rotates it?\" --choice \"agent: switch to the read-only mirror\" --choice \"operator: rotate the token, then I continue\"\n\
304```\n\n\
305Keep the actor word in English (`agent:`, `operator:`, `daemon:`) whatever \
306language the question is written in.\n\n\
307When a choice should make the daemon act on the task behind your run once it \
308is picked, attach a structured action to that exact choice with `--action \
309\"<choice>=<verb>\"`: `resume` (continue this run, or `resume:<run-id>`), \
310`requeue` (a fresh competition) or `done`. The daemon never infers an action \
311from a label's wording, so a choice without `--action` only records the \
312answer.\n\n\
313```sh\n\
314magi ask --summary \"Continue this run?\" --choice \"daemon: resume the run\" --action \"daemon: resume the run=resume\" --choice \"operator: I will decide later\"\n\
315```\n\n\
316**Never put this in the background.** The process blocked inside `magi ask` \
317*is* the conversation with the owner - it is the only thing that will ever \
318read their answer. Backgrounding it, or letting your own process exit while \
319it is still running, does not free you to keep working and pick the answer \
320up later: it throws the answer away. The owner still sees the question, \
321still replies, and nothing is left listening. A single call cannot block \
322forever, so instead of hanging until something kills it, it stops on its own \
323after a while and prints that nothing has happened yet - not a failure, just \
324this call's own turn running out. When you see that, call it again, in the \
325foreground, exactly as told:\n\n\
326```sh\n\
327magi ask --wait <question-id>\n\
328```\n\n\
329Keep calling `--wait` in the foreground - one blocking call after another - \
330until an answer or a reply comes back. It resumes the same wait; it does not \
331ask anything new and takes no `--summary`. Backgrounding *this* call throws \
332the answer away exactly as backgrounding the first one would.\n\n\
333You can attach a page you format yourself, which is how the owner actually \
334judges: a diff, a table of what changes, a rendered before and after.\n\n\
335```sh\n\
336magi ask --summary \"...\" --choice A --choice B --panel panel.html --asset shot.png\n\
337```\n\n\
338The panel is your own HTML and CSS, rendered in a sandbox: **no JavaScript \
339runs and nothing may load from the network**. External links must carry \
340`target=\"_blank\"` to work: a link that navigates the frame itself is refused. \
341Inline your styles, reference \
342attached assets by their bare filename, and use `data:` URIs for anything \
343small. A `<script>`, a remote font or an external image is silently blocked, \
344so do not spend effort on them.\n\n\
345The owner may answer back with a question of their own instead of deciding - \
346`magi ask` then exits 0 and prints what they said, because that is not a \
347failure, it is the conversation continuing. Read it, and reply on the same \
348question with `--thread`:\n\n\
349```sh\n\
350magi ask --thread <question-id> --summary \"...\" --choice A --choice B\n\
351```\n\n\
352This appends your reply and waits again; it does not start a new question, so \
353say only what is new. Restate `--choice` if the right answers changed because \
354of what the owner asked - the previous choices are gone otherwise, not kept. \
355Keep replying on the same thread until an answer comes back.\n\n\
356Ask sparingly. A question stops the run until a human notices it, and asking \
357about something you could have decided yourself is how that channel becomes \
358noise the owner learns to ignore. Asking permission for something you were \
359already meant to do is the same noise.",

383/// [`crate::graph::Runner::synthesize_brief`]) when the run's config declares
384/// a `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` — which is also the directory the verify commands
385/// build into. The text is stable so tests can assert on it; the value of the
386/// variable is not spelled out because a write-allowed seat reads it from its
387/// own environment, and a prompt that hardcodes a path would go stale the
388/// moment the config moves the cache.
389///
390/// `allow_write` must agree with whether the caller actually hands the seat
391/// `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` (see [`crate::agent::Invocation::cache_dir`]) — a
392/// read-only seat that is still told "build through it" is exactly how a
393/// sandboxed reviewer's write refusal to a directory it was never meant to
394/// touch got reported as a defect in the patch under review. So a read-only
395/// seat is told plainly that it has no shared cache and that a write refusal
396/// anywhere outside its own worktree is expected, not evidence of anything.
397///
398/// The fund-transfer reality the write-allowed note exists to prevent: an
399/// implementer that builds with its own `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` (or lets cargo
400/// create a fresh `target/` in the worktree) is compiling a second copy of
401/// the world that nobody prunes, on a machine that has already had that exact
402/// failure once. It also spells out the one thing a test name filter cannot
403/// do — `cargo test report::` still compiles every integration target in the
404/// workspace, because the filter selects which tests *run*, not which
405/// targets get *built* — so a seat asked for a narrow check knows to reach
406/// for `--lib`/`--test` instead of assuming a filter alone bounds the build.
407///
408/// `node` is the graph node this is spliced into (`"review"`, `"fix"`, ...).
409/// A reviewer or fixer gets an extra paragraph saying full verification is
410/// magi's own job, not theirs to repeat — the same duplicated-full-suite cost
411/// neither note's own advice does anything to prevent on its own, since a
412/// seat that dutifully stays inside its own worktree can still spend the
413/// round re-running the whole suite there. Phrased as a request, not a
414/// guarantee: magi has no way to stop a seat from running `cargo test
415/// --all-targets` anyway, so the note asks rather than claims it enforces

601         the commit SHA(s) you checked, the existing test name(s) that already \

1570            with `GIT_EDITOR=true git rebase --continue`. If git stops again on \
1571            the next commit, resolve that too and continue until the rebase \
1572            has finished.\n\

1575            every commit's subject and author as they are: a commit that \

2096             waits>\" --title \"...\" \"<text>\"`. The pull request has not landed, \
2097             so the task says it applies after that pull request merges, and \

2103             there, because once magi confirms the merge it releases exactly the \
2104             tasks held with a reason naming that pull request), and never pass \

2652         A task already carrying one or more `answered \"...\": ...` lines \
2653         has been through this before. Unless a later explicit resumption \

2656         closed, wait for a person - say so with `recovery: hold` instead of \
2657         filing another `question` that only asks the same thing again: \
2658         `blocked_by` and `question` both put the task back in the queue the \

2688         `failed` or machine-held, and nobody has decided what to do about them \
2689         yet. Each carries how its last run ended: every review round's \
2690         findings and how the fixer treated each one — addressed, or \
2691         rejected with a reason — not only the last round's. The same \
2692         argument raised and declined the same way in every round is a \
2693         settled disagreement; a finding that was never rejected and never \
2694         addressed is simply unfixed. Tell them apart.\n\n\
2695         A `manual` (or `legacy`) hold is operator-owned evidence, not a \
2696         recovery target: leave it out of your reply.\n\n\
2697         Choose one via `recovery`:\n\
2698         - `requeue` — back in line, a fresh competition from scratch.\n\
2699         - `hold` — leave it for a human, and only when there is truly \
2700           nothing more specific to say than the diagnosis itself: no \
2701           action is possible yet, or the diagnosis is simply information \
2702           the operator should have (a note that main already carries the \
2703           same change, say) with no decision attached. Do not reach for \
2704           `hold` merely because the fix is small — a title that is a few \
2705           characters too long, a gate that timed out, a worktree to clean \
2706           up before retrying are all still a human's call, just a cheap \
2707           one, and cheap is not the same as none.\n\
2708         - `review` — only when `branch` below is set: reopen exactly that \
2709           branch through a review-only pass (review, verify, gate — no \
2710           reimplementation). Choose this when the branch is fundamentally \
2711           sound and what is left is a mergeable fix to its findings; choose \
2712           `requeue` instead when the findings say the design itself needs \
2713           to change.\n\
2714         - `done` — the task's own goal is already met outside this loop \
2715           entirely (an `answered` line below already says the branch was \
2716           merged and the worktree cleaned up by hand, say) and running it \
2717           again would only spend attempts on work with nothing left to do. \
2718           Only once the operator's own words say so; never guess this one.\n\n\
2719         `hold` and `question` are not interchangeable labels for the same \
2720         thing: if your own diagnosis lets you write the human's next step \
2721         as one concrete sentence — shorten the PR title and open it, \
2722         delete the stale worktree and resume from review, confirm PR #N \
2723         already covers this and close the task — that sentence belongs in \
2724         `question` (with `choices` when the answer is a pick from a short \
2725         list), never in `hold`'s `reason`. Once that question is answered \
2726         and confirms the task is already done, use `done` on a later cycle \
2727         rather than asking the same thing again. A `hold` whose `reason` \
2728         reads like an instruction rather than a status report is a \
2729         `question` you talked yourself out of asking. `hold` is for when \
2730         no such one-line instruction exists yet; `question` is for when \
2731         one \
2732         already does and only needs the human's word — or a quick manual \
2733         action — before the task can move again.\n\n\
2734         You may also `ask` the operator instead of choosing a recovery — \
2735         see below.\n\n",
