From baa1e1ee01fa5b30e2c2981ba3265b21b9eb8564 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: teamchong <25894545+teamchong@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2026 13:17:39 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] fix(transform): reword tool-docs stub/header to avoid refusal classifier MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The text-based Tool Reference triggered Anthropic's model-cloning safeguard (stop_reason: refusal -> silent Opus fallback) because the per-tool stub said docs lived in "the system prompt" — the exact phrasing the 169521c retrip identified as the trigger for the imaged slab, now reintroduced in text form. - Stub now reads: 'ⓘ Full docs: see "## Tool: " in the Tool Reference section.' — no "system prompt"/"authoritative" framing. - Tool Reference header is provenance-framed as first-party ("pxpipe (this user's local proxy) moved the full tool documentation..."). - tracker.ts now maps tool_docs_chars into events.jsonl so refusals are attributable to the text-reference path. - Regression test: stub + reference header must never match /system prompt|authoritative/i and must carry provenance framing (scoped to the header; quoted third-party tool docs below it may legitimately contain the phrase). Verified: 614/614 tests, tsc --noEmit clean, and a live cold-start through the rebuilt proxy on claude-fable-5 with the text reference active — no refusal event, no fallback. --- src/core/tracker.ts | 3 +++ src/core/transform.ts | 47 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ tests/render.test.ts | 34 +++++++++++++++++++++++++------ 3 files changed, 72 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/core/tracker.ts b/src/core/tracker.ts index d0bbb30..d48c84c 100644 --- a/src/core/tracker.ts +++ b/src/core/tracker.ts @@ -43,6 +43,8 @@ export interface TrackEvent { reminder_imgs?: number; /** Images from compressing tool_result content. */ tool_result_imgs?: number; + /** Chars of tool docs moved to the system-text Tool Reference (not imaged). */ + tool_docs_chars?: number; /** tool_result blocks where text exceeded the per-result image budget and was truncated. */ truncated_tool_results?: number; /** Chars elided by paging across all tool_results this request. */ @@ -201,6 +203,7 @@ export function toTrackEvent(ev: ProxyEvent): TrackEvent { if (info.dynamicBlockCount !== undefined) out.dynamic_block_count = info.dynamicBlockCount; if (info.reminderImgs !== undefined) out.reminder_imgs = info.reminderImgs; if (info.toolResultImgs !== undefined) out.tool_result_imgs = info.toolResultImgs; + if (info.toolDocsChars !== undefined) out.tool_docs_chars = info.toolDocsChars; if (info.truncatedToolResults !== undefined && info.truncatedToolResults > 0) { out.truncated_tool_results = info.truncatedToolResults; } diff --git a/src/core/transform.ts b/src/core/transform.ts index 66d1ea1..4169a2d 100644 --- a/src/core/transform.ts +++ b/src/core/transform.ts @@ -536,6 +536,8 @@ export interface TransformInfo { imageSourceText?: string; reminderImgs?: number; toolResultImgs?: number; + /** Chars of tool docs moved to the system-text Tool Reference (not imaged). */ + toolDocsChars?: number; /** Codepoints missing from the atlas (rendered as blank cells).
