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.

137# Asking the owner\n\n\
138If a decision is genuinely the owner's - a product choice, a tradeoff with no \
139technically correct answer, something that would be expensive to undo - stop \
140and ask instead of guessing:\n\n\
141```sh\n\
142magi ask --summary \"Which storage backend?\" --choice SQLite --choice Redis\n\
143```\n\n\
144It blocks and prints the owner's answer on stdout. Omit `--choice` for a \
145free-text reply.\n\n\
146**Never put this in the background.** The process blocked inside `magi ask` \
147*is* the conversation with the owner - it is the only thing that will ever \
148read their answer. Backgrounding it, or letting your own process exit while \
149it is still running, does not free you to keep working and pick the answer \
150up later: it throws the answer away. The owner still sees the question, \
151still replies, and nothing is left listening. A single call cannot block \
152forever, so instead of hanging until something kills it, it stops on its own \
153after a while and prints that nothing has happened yet - not a failure, just \
154this call's own turn running out. When you see that, call it again, in the \
155foreground, exactly as told:\n\n\
156```sh\n\
157magi ask --wait <question-id>\n\
158```\n\n\
159Keep calling `--wait` in the foreground - one blocking call after another - \
160until an answer or a reply comes back. It resumes the same wait; it does not \
161ask anything new and takes no `--summary`. Backgrounding *this* call throws \
162the answer away exactly as backgrounding the first one would.\n\n\
163You can attach a page you format yourself, which is how the owner actually \
164judges: a diff, a table of what changes, a rendered before and after.\n\n\
165```sh\n\
166magi ask --summary \"...\" --choice A --choice B --panel panel.html --asset shot.png\n\
167```\n\n\
168The panel is your own HTML and CSS, rendered in a sandbox: **no JavaScript \
169runs and nothing may load from the network**. Inline your styles, reference \
170attached assets by their bare filename, and use `data:` URIs for anything \
171small. A `<script>`, a remote font or an external image is silently blocked, \
172so do not spend effort on them.\n\n\
173The owner may answer back with a question of their own instead of deciding - \
174`magi ask` then exits 0 and prints what they said, because that is not a \
175failure, it is the conversation continuing. Read it, and reply on the same \
176question with `--thread`:\n\n\
177```sh\n\
178magi ask --thread <question-id> --summary \"...\" --choice A --choice B\n\
179```\n\n\
180This appends your reply and waits again; it does not start a new question, so \
181say only what is new. Restate `--choice` if the right answers changed because \
182of what the owner asked - the previous choices are gone otherwise, not kept. \
183Keep replying on the same thread until an answer comes back.\n\n\
184Ask sparingly. A question stops the run until a human notices it, and asking \
185about something you could have decided yourself is how that channel becomes \
186noise the owner learns to ignore.",

206/// What a seat is told about the shared build cache — one of two notes,
207/// chosen by whether the seat may write at all.
208///
209/// Spliced into every node prompt (in [`crate::graph::wave`] and
210/// [`crate::graph::Runner::synthesize_brief`]) when the run's config declares
211/// a `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` — which is also the directory the verify commands
212/// build into. The text is stable so tests can assert on it; the value of the
213/// variable is not spelled out because a write-allowed seat reads it from its
214/// own environment, and a prompt that hardcodes a path would go stale the
215/// moment the config moves the cache.
216///
217/// `allow_write` must agree with whether the caller actually hands the seat
218/// `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` (see [`crate::agent::Invocation::cache_dir`]) — a
219/// read-only seat that is still told "build through it" is exactly how a
220/// sandboxed reviewer's write refusal to a directory it was never meant to
221/// touch got reported as a defect in the patch under review. So a read-only
222/// seat is told plainly that it has no shared cache and that a write refusal
223/// anywhere outside its own worktree is expected, not evidence of anything.
224///
225/// The fund-transfer reality the write-allowed note exists to prevent: an
226/// implementer that builds with its own `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` (or lets cargo
227/// create a fresh `target/` in the worktree) is compiling a second copy of
228/// the world that nobody prunes, on a machine that has already had that exact
229/// failure once. It also spells out the one thing a test name filter cannot
230/// do — `cargo test report::` still compiles every integration target in the
231/// workspace, because the filter selects which tests *run*, not which
232/// targets get *built* — so a seat asked for a narrow check knows to reach
233/// for `--lib`/`--test` instead of assuming a filter alone bounds the build.
234///
235/// `node` is the graph node this is spliced into (`"review"`, `"fix"`, ...).
236/// A reviewer or fixer gets an extra paragraph saying full verification is
237/// magi's own job, not theirs to repeat — the same duplicated-full-suite cost
238/// neither note's own advice does anything to prevent on its own, since a
239/// seat that dutifully stays inside its own worktree can still spend the
240/// round re-running the whole suite there. Phrased as a request, not a
241/// guarantee: magi has no way to stop a seat from running `cargo test
242/// --all-targets` anyway, so the note asks rather than claims it enforces
243/// anything.

1368         rejected with a reason — not only the last round's. The same \
1369         argument raised and declined the same way in every round is a \
1370         settled disagreement; a finding that was never rejected and never \
1371         addressed is simply unfixed. Tell them apart.\n\n\
1372         A `manual` (or `legacy`) hold is operator-owned evidence, not a \
1373         recovery target: leave it out of your reply.\n\n\
1374         Choose one via `recovery`:\n\
1375         - `requeue` — back in line, a fresh competition from scratch.\n\
1376         - `hold` — leave it for a human, and only when there is truly \
1377           nothing more specific to say than the diagnosis itself: no \
1378           action is possible yet, or the diagnosis is simply information \
1379           the operator should have (a note that main already carries the \
1380           same change, say) with no decision attached. Do not reach for \
1381           `hold` merely because the fix is small — a title that is a few \
1382           characters too long, a gate that timed out, a worktree to clean \
1383           up before retrying are all still a human's call, just a cheap \
1384           one, and cheap is not the same as none.\n\
1385         - `review` — only when `branch` below is set: reopen exactly that \
1386           branch through a review-only pass (review, verify, gate — no \
1387           reimplementation). Choose this when the branch is fundamentally \
1388           sound and what is left is a mergeable fix to its findings; choose \
1389           `requeue` instead when the findings say the design itself needs \
1390           to change.\n\n\
1391         `hold` and `question` are not interchangeable labels for the same \
1392         thing: if your own diagnosis lets you write the human's next step \
1393         as one concrete sentence — shorten the PR title and open it, \
1394         delete the stale worktree and resume from review, confirm PR #N \
1395         already covers this and close the task — that sentence belongs in \
1396         `question` (with `choices` when the answer is a pick from a short \
1397         list), never in `hold`'s `reason`. A `hold` whose `reason` reads \
1398         like an instruction rather than a status report is a `question` \
1399         you talked yourself out of asking. `hold` is for when no such \
1400         one-line instruction exists yet; `question` is for when one \
1401         already does and only needs the human's word — or a quick manual \
1402         action — before the task can move again.\n\n\
1403         You may also `ask` the operator instead of choosing a recovery — \
