An answer that fails to validate is asked for a second time, for that
classification only, with a reminder to reply with the JSON object alone.
The second ask comes out of the classification's CLASSIFICATION_DEADLINE:
it gets what the first ask left, and is skipped when less than 20 seconds
remain, so RUN_DEADLINE's bound still holds. A failed ask (runtime error,
timeout) is not repeated. If the second answer does not validate either,
the row has no answer, as before.
Model::ask takes the deadline for the ask; the ACP runtime no longer holds
its own.
The parser also takes the first fenced block of a reply that has prose
around the fence; prose around a bare object is still rejected.
The review body's table is now: result | check | certainty / threshold |
reason. The result cell is a symbol for what the row did to the review,
after polarity (✅ counted and passed, ❌ counted and failed, ❔ not
counted or no answer), then the model's verdict. The overall line carries
✅ / ❌. Polarity, threshold and counted are folded into those cells.
The prompt asks for a reason under 350 characters; the enforced cap
stays 500, so an overshoot is truncated less often.
An answer whose reason ran past 500 characters was rejected whole, so the
verdict was lost and the one error row turned the review into no_verdict.
The reason is cut to the cap, ending in an ellipsis; verdict and certainty
are kept.
A new service crate. It reads its queue client secret from the store at
start, takes try-outs on the review classifier subject in its queue
group, and for each run reads the Anthropic API key from the store,
builds the shared context (commits with full messages, diff with
lockfiles collapsed), runs one claude --print per classification with no
session, no tools, no MCP server and the key in the child's environment
only, validates the JSON answer and aggregates the rows. A missing key or
a run where no classification got an answer fails the run; one failed
classification is an excluded row with its error. One journal line per
run names the operator, repo, PR, head SHA, rows and overall verdict.
swarm-secret-client gains the two paths the service reads.
