* fix: Add JSON repair for truncated LLM responses across all providers and Gemini thinking budget support
LengthFinishReasonError from OpenAI-compatible providers (custom, openai, groq) was crashing the deriver
with 14k+ occurrences in production. The vLLM path already had repair logic but it was gated on
provider=="vllm", unreachable when routing through litellm as a custom provider.
- Extract shared _repair_response_model_json() helper for all providers
- Catch LengthFinishReasonError in OpenAI/custom parse() path and repair truncated JSON
- Add repair fallback to Anthropic and Gemini response_model paths
- Add repair fallback to Groq response_model path
- Pass thinking_budget_tokens to Gemini 2.5 models via thinking_config
- Add 14 tests covering repair paths for all providers and Gemini thinking budget
Fixes HONCHO-YC

* refactor: rename thinking validator to reflect transport scope
_validate_anthropic_thinking_minimum only enforces the >=1024 rule for
Anthropic and no-ops for other transports, so the name was misleading
now that it's shared across ConfiguredModelSettings, FallbackModelSettings,
and ModelConfig. Renamed to _validate_thinking_constraints with a docstring
clarifying per-transport behavior. No logic change.
* fix(config): drop transport-specific thinking params when env override changes transport
_fill_defaults_for_nested_field previously preserved the default MODEL_CONFIG's
thinking_budget_tokens/thinking_effort across a transport override. This leaked
Gemini-family defaults (e.g. thinking_budget_tokens=1024) into OpenAI-transport
overrides, and the OpenAI backend then correctly rejected the unsupported param
at call time (OpenAI uses reasoning.effort, not a token budget).
The helper now strips thinking_budget_tokens and thinking_effort from the
default dict when the env override supplies a transport different from the
default's. Explicit thinking params in the override are preserved.
* fix(config): apply thinking-param strip to dialectic level merge too
DialecticSettings._merge_level_defaults does its own inline MODEL_CONFIG
merge (parallel to _fill_defaults_for_nested_field), so the previous fix
missed dialectic-level overrides. E.g. flipping
DIALECTIC_LEVELS__minimal__MODEL_CONFIG__TRANSPORT from gemini (default)
to openai still leaked the default thinking_budget_tokens=0 into the
openai config, which the OpenAI backend then rejected at call time.
The level-merge path now applies the same 'strip transport-specific
thinking params when transport changes' rule as the generic helper.
Added a regression test exercising the merge validator directly.
* refactor(llm): wire ModelConfig knobs through, prune clients.py migration leftovers
Three connected fixes to finish carving the LLM stack out of src/utils/clients.py
and into src/llm/:
1. Propagate ModelConfig tuning knobs into backend calls.
honcho_llm_call_inner built extra_params from only {json_mode, verbosity},
silently dropping top_p, top_k, frequency_penalty, presence_penalty, seed,
and operator-supplied provider_params from any ModelConfig. Thread the
selected config through ProviderSelection and merge
build_config_extra_params(selected_config) into extra_params; per-call
kwargs still win over provider_params defaults. Makes
_build_config_extra_params public as build_config_extra_params so
clients.py and request_builder.py share one translation. Adds
TestModelConfigExtraParamsPropagation covering OpenAI/Anthropic knob
propagation, provider_params passthrough, and per-call override
precedence.
2. Drop dead extract_openai_* duplicates in clients.py.
extract_openai_reasoning_content, extract_openai_reasoning_details, and
extract_openai_cache_tokens had no callers outside their own definitions
— the live implementations live in src/llm/backends/openai.py. -103
lines from clients.py.
3. Unify on ModelTransport, delete SupportedProviders.
The "google" vs "gemini" split forced a _provider_for_model_config
translation shim in two places. Replace all SupportedProviders usages
with ModelTransport, rename CLIENTS["google"] → CLIENTS["gemini"],
update provider branches + LLMError labels + reasoning-trace entries
accordingly. Trace JSONL now writes "provider": "gemini" instead of
"google" — consistent with the broader env-var rename cutover.
Also tidies up pre-existing basedpyright findings in tests/llm/test_model_config.py
(pydantic before-validator dict inputs + descriptor-proxy call).
ruff: clean. basedpyright: 0 errors, 0 warnings. Tests: 153/153 pass across
tests/utils/test_clients.py, tests/utils/test_length_finish_reason.py,
tests/llm/, tests/dialectic/, tests/deriver/.

* refactor(llm): finish the src/utils/clients.py → src/llm/ migration
honcho_llm_call_inner now delegates to request_builder.execute_completion
and execute_stream instead of re-implementing backend call scaffolding
inline. The new _effective_config_for_call helper carries per-call kwargs
(temperature, stop_seqs, thinking_budget_tokens, reasoning_effort) onto
the selected ModelConfig — or synthesizes a minimal config for the
test-only callers that pass provider+model directly. max_output_tokens
is zeroed on the effective config to preserve the current
"per-call max_tokens wins" semantic; honoring ModelConfig.max_output_tokens
is a separable correctness concern.
Side effect of routing through the new path: ConfiguredModelSettings'
thinking_budget_tokens validator now fires on synthesized configs.
test_anthropic_thinking_budget was asserting that a sub-1024 budget
propagated to Anthropic — bumped to 1024 to match what Anthropic actually
accepts.
Unified client construction. Promoted the cached client factories in
src/llm/__init__.py (get_anthropic_client, get_openai_client,
get_gemini_client, get_{anthropic,openai,gemini}_override_client) to
public API and added them to __all__. Promoted
credentials._default_transport_api_key → default_transport_api_key.
Deleted the duplicate _build_client and _default_credentials_for_provider
from clients.py; _client_for_model_config now falls through to the
public factories. CLIENTS dict and _get_backend_for_provider stay as the
mockable seam for the ~50 patch.dict(CLIENTS, {...}) test call sites.
Wired operator-configurable Gemini cached-content reuse end-to-end.
PromptCachePolicy moved from src/llm/caching.py into src/config.py so
ModelConfig can reference it as a field without a circular import;
caching.py re-exports the name for existing imports. Added
cache_policy: PromptCachePolicy | None on ConfiguredModelSettings,
FallbackModelSettings, ResolvedFallbackConfig, and ModelConfig.
resolve_model_config, _resolve_fallback_config, and
_select_model_config_for_attempt copy the field through.
honcho_llm_call_inner passes effective_config.cache_policy into
execute_completion / execute_stream, so operators opt in via
e.g. DERIVER_MODEL_CONFIG__CACHE_POLICY__MODE=gemini_cached_content
and the selection actually fires instead of sitting on a dead path.
New regression test test_cache_policy_reaches_gemini_backend asserts the
PromptCachePolicy object reaches the Gemini backend's extra_params.
ruff + basedpyright: clean. Tests: 154/154 pass across
tests/utils/test_clients.py, tests/utils/test_length_finish_reason.py,
tests/llm/, tests/dialectic/, tests/deriver/.

* refactor(llm): move all LLM orchestration into src/llm/ and delete clients.py
The 1624-line src/utils/clients.py has been carved up into focused modules
under src/llm/ and deleted. There is now one golden path for LLM
orchestration and no dual entrypoint.
New module layout:
src/llm/
__init__.py thin stable re-export surface
api.py public honcho_llm_call with retry + fallback + tool
loop delegation
executor.py honcho_llm_call_inner (single-call executor); bridges
to request_builder.execute_completion / execute_stream
tool_loop.py execute_tool_loop + stream_final_response, plus
assistant-tool-message and tool-result formatting
runtime.py AttemptPlan dataclass (replaces the loose
ProviderSelection NamedTuple), effective_config_for_call,
plan_attempt, per-retry temperature bump, attempt
ContextVar
registry.py single owner of CLIENTS dict + cached default and
override SDK-client factories + backend/history-adapter
selection + high-level get_backend(config)
conversation.py count_message_tokens, tool-aware message grouping,
truncate_messages_to_fit
types.py HonchoLLMCallResponse, HonchoLLMCallStreamChunk,
StreamingResponseWithMetadata, IterationData,
IterationCallback, ReasoningEffortType, VerbosityType,
ProviderClient
request_builder.py low-level request assembly (ModelConfig → backend
complete/stream); no longer owns credential resolution
credentials.py default_transport_api_key, resolve_credentials
caching.py gemini_cache_store; re-exports PromptCachePolicy
from src.config
backend.py Protocol + normalized result types
history_adapters.py provider-specific assistant/tool message shapes
structured_output.py
backends/ AnthropicBackend, OpenAIBackend, GeminiBackend
handle_streaming_response had no production callers; it is deleted. The
three tests that used it now drive honcho_llm_call_inner(stream=True,
client_override=...) directly, which exercises the same code path the
public API uses.
Dead credential passthrough removed. The ProviderBackend Protocol and
all three concrete backends no longer accept api_key / api_base — those
are baked into the underlying SDK client at registry construction time
and were being del'd everywhere they appeared. request_builder also
stops resolving and forwarding them.
Client construction is unified. The cached default-client factories
(get_anthropic_client, get_openai_client, get_gemini_client) and override
factories (get_*_override_client) are promoted to public API; the
module-level CLIENTS dict populates from them and remains the
patch.dict(CLIENTS, {...}) mocking seam tests rely on. Old duplicate
helpers (_build_client, _default_credentials_for_provider) are gone.
default_transport_api_key is promoted to public.
Application imports now come from src.llm (dreamer, dialectic, deriver,
summarizer, telemetry-adjacent tests). No code imports from
src.utils.clients anywhere in the repo.
ruff: clean. basedpyright: 0 errors, 0 warnings. Tests: 1013/1013 pass
across the entire non-infra test suite (excluding tests/unified,
tests/bench, tests/live_llm, tests/alembic).

* fix(llm): sanitize tool schemas for Gemini's function_declarations validator
Gemini's native-transport function-declarations validator accepts a narrow
subset of JSON-Schema / OpenAPI: type, format, description, nullable, enum,
properties, required, items, minItems, maxItems, minimum, maximum, title.
Anything else — additionalProperties, allOf, if/then/else, $ref, anyOf,
oneOf, $defs, patternProperties — triggers an INVALID_ARGUMENT 400 at call
time.
Our agent tool schemas in src/utils/agent_tools.py use several of those
(additionalProperties: false, allOf + if/then conditionals) because they
were authored for OpenAI strict-mode + Anthropic, which need the richer
vocabulary. GeminiBackend._convert_tools was passing them straight through.
Add _sanitize_schema(): walks the parameters tree and drops unsupported
keywords while preserving semantics for the keywords that hold user data
(properties maps field-name → sub-schema; required / enum are lists of
literals; items is a single sub-schema). Other backends are untouched and
continue to receive the full strict schemas.
Regression tests:
- test_gemini_sanitize_schema_strips_unsupported_keywords: confirms
additionalProperties, allOf + if/then, and $defs are stripped at nested
levels while legitimate fields survive.
- test_gemini_convert_tools_sanitizes_parameters_schema: end-to-end
_convert_tools output has no forbidden keys.
