feat(dialectic): optional structured outputs with limited schema for Dialectic calls (#896)
* Structured outputs for dialectic

* cleanup

* rename json_schema_to_pydantic to clarify it's not a general schema converter

* clean up schema DoS guards

* simplification and cleanup of schema conversion

* chore: ruff and pyproject toml

* chore: basedpyright cleanup in test

* fix: some needed unrelated test failures

* test(schema_conversion-and-anthropic-backend): expand test coverage

include table tests

* fix(llm): support combined tool calling and structured output across backends

- OpenAI: parse() 500s on non-strict function tools; route tool-carrying
  structured requests through create() with an explicit json_schema
  response_format (mirrors the streaming path)
- Anthropic: skip the '{' JSON prefill when tools are present so tool_use
  blocks stay reachable; make the schema instruction conditional and rely
  on parse + repair
- Gemini: native response_schema + function calling is rejected before
  Gemini 3; with tools present, inject a schema instruction into the final
  turn instead and rely on parse + repair
- All backends: tool-call turns carry no consumable content, so skip
  structured-output parsing on them

Extracted from the dialectic structured-output branch (DEV-1652) so the
transport layer can land independently.

* test(live_llm): exercise combined tools + structured output per provider

Two-turn live flow per backend: a forced tool-call turn (structured
parsing must be skipped) followed by a replay turn that must return a
schema-conforming answer with tools still attached. Asserts the
provider-specific request shaping: no parse() for OpenAI (500s on
non-strict tools), no '{' prefill for Anthropic, no native
response_schema for Gemini.

Verified against live OpenAI (gpt-4.1, gpt-5, gpt-5.4, gpt-5.4-mini)
and Gemini (gemini-2.5-flash).

* test(unified): dialectic chat with response_format schema under tool use

Adds response_format pass-through to the unified runner's chat query and
a test case that forces the dialectic tool loop (reasoning off + global
enumeration question) while requiring a schema-conforming JSON answer —
end-to-end coverage of the combined tools + structured output transport
path on whichever provider each level is configured with.

Verified locally against a full harness run (json_match assertions pass;
the llm_judge assertion additionally runs in CI where the Anthropic key
is available).

* fix: some needed unrelated test failures

* ci: add label-triggered live LLM test workflow

Adding the run-live-llm label to a PR (or workflow_dispatch) runs
tests/live_llm/ against real provider APIs — the only place the
--live-llm suite runs in CI. Reuses the unified-tests environment and
its Secrets Manager staging-dotenv resolution for provider keys; runs
on ubuntu-latest (no Fly runner, no Docker — the suite only touches the
LLM backends). Pins LIVE_LLM_ANTHROPIC_45_PLUS_MODELS=claude-sonnet-4-5
since the Anthropic family has no default models and would otherwise
silently collect empty.

Opt-in by design: live model behavior is variable, so this is a signal,
not a required check.

* ci: run live LLM tests on main pushes touching the transport

Mirrors unified-tests' push trigger, scoped to paths that can affect
the live suite (src/llm/, config, the tests, deps, and the workflow
itself) so provider API calls aren't spent on unrelated changes.

* ci: disable auth in live LLM test environment

The staging dotenv sets AUTH_USE_AUTH=true without a usable JWT secret,
and src/config.py validates the pair at import time — the same reason
unified-tests overrides it. This suite never runs the API server.

* test(live_llm): fix gpt-5.4 reasoning_effort and gemini replay-turn flake

- test_live_openai: gpt-5.4 dropped 'minimal' from the reasoning_effort
  vocabulary, so the gpt5 caching test 400'd — and the OpenAI backend's
  BadRequestError terminal swallowed it into an empty CompletionResult.
  Pick the effort per model generation.
- test_live_tools_structured_output: use tool_choice='auto' on the
  replay turn, matching the production dialectic loop (which never
  forces 'none') — NONE mode is what provoked gemini-2.5-flash's empty
  candidates. Drop the temperature pin so retries actually resample,
  and treat a repeat tool call as a retryable attempt.

Verified live: full suite green, gemini 4/4 consecutive passes.

* ci: fail live LLM run when no staging secret was loaded

If the latest-tag fetch fails and no second tag exists, the fallback
step is skipped rather than failed, and the job would proceed without
provider keys — every test then skips via require_provider_key and the
run goes green. Guard on both fetch outcomes so that path fails loudly.

Live LLM Tests

These tests call real provider APIs and are disabled by default.

Run them with:

uv run pytest tests/live_llm -n 0 --live-llm --no-header -q

Required API key env vars:

  • LLM_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
  • LLM_OPENAI_API_KEY
  • LLM_GEMINI_API_KEY

Model-family env vars:

  • LIVE_LLM_ANTHROPIC_45_PLUS_MODELS
  • LIVE_LLM_OPENAI_GPT4_MODELS
  • LIVE_LLM_OPENAI_GPT5_MODELS
  • LIVE_LLM_OPENAI_OPENROUTER_NON_REASONING_MODELS (OpenAI-transport → OpenRouter-served non-reasoning models)
  • LIVE_LLM_GEMINI_25_MODELS
  • LIVE_LLM_GEMINI_30_MODELS
  • LIVE_LLM_GEMINI_31_MODELS

Each model env var accepts a comma-separated list of bare model ids or provider-qualified ids.

Examples:

export LIVE_LLM_ANTHROPIC_45_PLUS_MODELS="claude-sonnet-4-5,claude-sonnet-4-6"
export LIVE_LLM_OPENAI_GPT4_MODELS="gpt-4.1"
export LIVE_LLM_OPENAI_GPT5_MODELS="gpt-5,gpt-5.4,gpt-5.4-mini"
export LIVE_LLM_OPENAI_OPENROUTER_NON_REASONING_MODELS="inception/mercury-2"
export LIVE_LLM_GEMINI_25_MODELS="gemini-2.5-flash,gemini-2.5-pro"
export LIVE_LLM_GEMINI_30_MODELS="gemini-3-flash-preview"
export LIVE_LLM_GEMINI_31_MODELS="gemini-3.1-pro-preview"

OpenRouter-routed models require additional env for the proxy endpoint:

export OPENROUTER_API_KEY="sk-or-v1-..."
# Per-feature config example:
#   DERIVER_MODEL_CONFIG__TRANSPORT=openai
#   DERIVER_MODEL_CONFIG__MODEL=inception/mercury-2
#   DERIVER_MODEL_CONFIG__OVERRIDES__BASE_URL=https://openrouter.ai/api/v1
#   DERIVER_MODEL_CONFIG__OVERRIDES__API_KEY_ENV=OPENROUTER_API_KEY

Coverage by provider:

  • Anthropic: structured output path, prompt caching metrics, thinking blocks, multi-turn tool replay
  • OpenAI GPT-4 class: structured outputs, prompt caching
  • OpenAI GPT-5 class (incl. gpt-5.x point-releases): structured outputs, prompt caching, reasoning_effort, max_completion_tokens routing
  • OpenAI transport → OpenRouter non-reasoning models (e.g. inception/mercury-2): non-chat / diffusion architectures must stay on max_tokens, no reasoning_effort, tool-calling parameter-schema compatibility is the canary for exotic OR-served providers
  • Gemini 2.5/3.0 classes: structured outputs, cached-content reuse, thought signatures, multi-turn tool replay
  • Gemini 3.1 class: thinking and tool replay coverage by default; structured-output/caching coverage should only be added once Google documents support for that path
