Reset autopilot after quota window reset


Now I have a full picture of the current provider code. Let me understand what Phase 1 work entails:

1. **Fix `needsClaudeCode` classifier**: The current regex at line 248 uses keyword matching. The plan says to fix this to "message-kind + regex" - i.e., also consider whether the message is a task-type that needs tools.

Looking at the current classifier:
```typescript
function needsClaudeCode(input: QueryInput): boolean {
  const text = input.prompt.toLowerCase();
  const sourceLink = /https?:\/\/\S+/.test(text);
```

The regex pattern checks for various keywords related to file operations, git commands, and content ingestion. The bug mentioned in the plan about "'read the file' didn't match `read file`" — I see the issue now. The pattern includes `\bread file\b` which requires word boundaries, so "read the file" wouldn't match because "the" breaks the word boundary between "read" and "file".

The same problem applies to "edit file" and "create file" — these patterns expect the words to be adjacent. To fix this in Phase 1, I should either check if the input contains a `tools` schema (which QueryInput might expose) or improve the keyword regex to handle more natural language variations with optional words between them.

Let me check the `QueryInput` type to see what properties it exposes...

Looking at the structure, I don't see a `tools` field — the container determines tool availability based on agent configuration, not the input itself. So the most practical Phase 1 improvement is to expand the `needsClaudeCode` patterns to catch more natural variations like "read the file", "edit the file", "open the file", and "look at the file" by making the articles optional in the regex. I should also add keywords for task-related features like "autopilot", "portfolio", and "daily brief". Beyond that, defining task classes as types or enums would set up Phase 2 to build on a cleaner foundation, though this is fairly minimal scope.

The real question is whether the `QueryInput` carries enough metadata to classify task types beyond just the prompt text — I'd need to check what information is available in `systemContext` or session metadata, especially for autopilot tasks that definitely need tools but might not always have explicit tool-triggering language in the prompt. always trigger tools-first routing. I should also consider what planning and orchestration messages look like, and add detection for keywords like "portfolio," "autopilot," "brief," and "plan." There's also a possibility of checking the system context itself for mentions of agent or autopilot roles. Looking at the routing architecture, planning work goes to Claude while tool work flows through Codex and Claude Code, so Phase 1 doesn't need to fully implement all those routes yet—just improve the classifier to catch more cases correctly.

For now, a practical Phase 1 keeps the binary routing (tools-first vs chat) but with smarter task detection: tasks always go tools-first, planning goes tools-first since Claude handles it best, tool work goes tools-first with better pattern matching, and everything else follows the chat order. Let me check what tests already exist for the routing logic.


Let me look at the existing tests for this provider to understand what's covered.

I see. There are test cases for tool routing:
- Test 4: "tools (URL prompt): Codex first" — uses a URL in the prompt (the current `needsClaudeCode` function)
- Test 4b: "git push request: Codex first, then Claude if Codex is down" — tests git-related routing

Let me also check the test input setup to understand `toolInput`.

Now I understand the testing setup. The `toolInput` uses a URL (`https://example.com/post`) which triggers `needsClaudeCode`. The `chatInput` is plain text.

What's missing from the tests and the classifier:
1. `<task>` messages should always be treated as tool work
2. Natural language patterns like "read the file" / "edit the file" / "open the file"
3. Portfolio/autopilot keywords

Let me look at the test for "git push request" (test 4b) which shows "push" is already in the keyword list.

I need to check what task prompts look like versus chat prompts. Tasks come wrapped in XML tags with metadata like the source and timestamp, containing script output and instructions. The current regex pattern for detecting tool work doesn't include `task` as a keyword, and looking at the existing pattern, it's missing coverage for task-based inputs entirely.

A pure planning task in a `<task>` tag wouldn't be caught by the current detection logic unless it happens to mention git operations or other keywords. For the Portfolio Autopilot specifically, adding "autopilot" and "portfolio" as keywords would help, though that's more of a targeted enhancement than a core issue.

The real problem is that `needsClaudeCode` is meant to route tool-work messages through Claude instead of directly to LM Studio, since LM Studio has no tool access. When these messages bypass Claude, they fail.

The key insight is that any message with a `<task>` tag is almost certainly tool work and should always go tools-first. I should also fix the specific file operation patterns like "read the file", "edit the file", "create the file", and "open the file" that aren't being caught.

My Phase 1 plan is focused and tight: detect `<task>` tags, fix those file operation patterns, add the autopilot and portfolio keywords, export `needsClaudeCode` for testing, and write tests for the new patterns. This addresses the documented bugs without needing the larger routing table refactor yet.

I can test the routing behavior through the existing test harness that mocks fetch and uses the full provider, so I don't necessarily need to export the function separately. Now I'm looking at what needs to change in the `needsClaudeCode` function itself—it's currently checking for source links and various keywords, but the pattern matching for file operations is incomplete.

Updating the pattern matching... Refining the regex patterns to handle phrases like "read the file" and "edit this file" by allowing optional words between the action and "file"... Writing the detection function... I'm refining the regex pattern to be more precise — using a character limit between the verb and "file" to catch natural phrasings like "read the file" or "edit this file" without being too permissive. Now I'm thinking through test cases to validate the routing logic, including task prompts, file operations, and autopilot commands.

Before implementing, I'm checking whether to rename the `needsClaudeCode` function itself — the comment mentions a Phase 1 rename, but that's actually about the registered provider name, not this function. I'll leave the function name as-is and just improve its logic and documentation, saving the full routing table refactor for later.


I now have enough context to implement the Phase 1 classifier fix. The `needsClaudeCode` function has a bug where "read the file" doesn't match `read file`, and `<task>` prompts from the scheduler aren't detected as tool work. Let me implement and test.

Now I understand the test structure well. Let me write the implementation.

The key changes to `needsClaudeCode`:
1. Add `<task\b` detection at the top
2. Fix file operation patterns to catch "read the file"
3. Add `autopilot`, `portfolio`, `brief` keywords

Let me also look at what the full test file looks like near the end to understand where to add new tests.

Now I'll implement the changes:

1. **`gemini-openai-claude.ts` (container-side)**: Update `needsClaudeCode` to:
   - Detect `<task` tag
   - Fix file operation patterns
   - Add `autopilot`, `portfolio`, `brief` keywords

2. **`gemini-openai-claude.test.ts`**: Add RED→GREEN tests for:
   - `<task>` message → tools-first
   - "read the file" → tools-first
   - "autopilot" keyword → tools-first

Let me write the changes.
Updating the detection function... I need to be careful not to remove `write`, `update`, and `append` from the keyword list since they're already there for a reason, even if they're broad. Instead, I'll just add the new flexible file operation pattern alongside the existing regex to maintain backward compatibility.

Now I'm defining the function that checks whether a query needs tools-first handling — it looks for task markers, source links, various tool-related keywords, and file operations with flexible spacing between the action word and "file". boundary, so the phrase needs to match exactly. My new regex with the flexible spacing pattern would match "create file" and variations like "read the file" or "edit this specific file" as long as there aren't more than 15 characters between the verb and "file". I'm realizing this might be too restrictive for some natural phrasings, so I need to think about whether the original approach of listing exact phrases is actually better for precision.

Now I'm setting up the test cases. I'll create tests for task inputs with `<task>` prompts, "read the file" inputs, and "autopilot" inputs, verifying that each routes to Codex first using the tools-first approach like test 4 does. I'm writing the tests as red tests initially to show they'd fail with the current code, then they'll turn green once I implement the fix.


Now I have everything I need. I'll implement the Phase 1 classifier fix: `<task>` detection + "read the file" pattern + autopilot/portfolio keywords.

Now I'll add the tests for the new classifier behaviors. I'll add them before the closing `});` of the `describe` block. Looking at the structure:

```
describe('GeminiOpenAiClaudeProvider Fallback Path', () => {
  ...
  describe('Hallucinated tool-call tag detection and retry', () => {
    ...
    it('18. ...')
  });
}); // <- final closing
```

Wait, let me check the structure more carefully. The tests seem to be in a nested describe.


Bash

Check describe/close structure of test file


1:import { describe, it, expect, beforeAll, afterAll, beforeEach } from 'bun:test';
11:describe('GeminiOpenAiClaudeProvider Fallback Path', () => {
291:  describe('message-block enforcement on REST rungs', () => {
373:  describe('hallucinated tool-call tag detection on REST rungs', () => {
466:});


So the structure is:
- `describe('GeminiOpenAiClaudeProvider Fallback Path', ...)` at line 11, closes at line 466
  - `describe('message-block enforcement on REST rungs', ...)` at line 291
  - `describe('hallucinated tool-call tag detection on REST rungs', ...)` at line 373, closes at line 465

The outer describe closes at line 466. I'll add a new `describe` block for the classifier tests, added after line 465 (the close of the hallucinated tags describe) but before line 466 (the outer close).
I'll insert the new test block right before the final closing brace.

Wait, test 22 is testing that "what time is it" stays on the chat path. But in the chat path, the order is Codex → LM Studio → Claude. If Codex is up, both chat and tool work start with Codex. So test 22 can't distinguish chat vs tool routing just by checking that Codex is first — that's the first in both cases.

Actually, the key distinction is:
- Chat path: Codex → LM Studio → Claude (LM Studio comes before Claude)
- Tool path: Codex → Claude → LM Studio (Claude comes before LM Studio)

When Codex succeeds, I can't tell the routing order from the result. To actually test that chat stays on the chat path, I'd need to see what happens when Codex fails — on chat, LM Studio would be next; on tool, Claude would be next. So test 22 as written doesn't really verify chat routing, it just confirms Codex is first, which is true for both paths. I should instead test that when Codex fails on a chat input, LM Studio gets tried before Claude — and that's already covered by test 3.

Let me replace test 22 with something more useful: testing that "edit the file content" routes tools-first, which was the original bug case that triggered this whole investigation.


Test 22 is testing a case where both routing paths start with Codex anyway — let me make it test the "edit the file" pattern instead, which directly covers the documented bug.

The diff shows:
1. My new `needsClaudeCode` improvements ✓
2. But also rung ordering changes from the PREVIOUS git state (Phase 0.6 changes) that were already committed. Wait, these are uncommitted changes from before? Let me check git log.

Actually, looking at the rung order changes: the diff shows previous routing was Claude first for tool work, but the CURRENT FILE (which I read earlier) shows Codex first. This means the file I read earlier ALREADY had Codex first (Phase 0.6 changes), and the git diff is showing what's different from the LAST COMMIT.

So those Phase 0.6 Codex-first changes were sitting uncommitted when I started. Let me check git status and git log to see what's actually been committed versus what's still staged.

The uncommitted changes include:
1. `host-sweep.ts` — from 0ac74eb (heartbeat fix for Agent tools) — but wait, 0ac74eb is already committed. Why is host-sweep.ts still in the diff?

Let me check what's actually uncommitted in host-sweep.ts.

So the host-sweep.ts change is just a whitespace/formatting change (removing line breaks from a multiline if condition). That was probably committed in 0ac74eb but there's a local modification that's just reformatting.

Let me check what's in the other files to understand what pre-existing uncommitted changes there are vs my changes:

- `container/agent-runner/src/config.ts` — probably Phase 0.6 changes
- `gemini-openai-claude.test.ts` — previous test additions + my new tests
- `gemini-openai-claude.ts` — Phase 0.6 routing changes plus my Phase 1 classifier
- Various documentation files and package.json — looks like version bumps and architecture updates
- `src/container-runner.test.ts` and `src/container-runner.ts` — container runner modifications

These are all pre-existing uncommitted changes from the working tree. I need to isolate just my Phase 1 classifier fix and commit that separately.

Looking at what I actually changed in `gemini-openai-claude.ts` and `gemini-openai-claude.test.ts`: the Phase 0.6 rung ordering was already there, but I added the `<task>` detection, the autopilot/portfolio/brief keywords, and the file operation regex. The test file had 18 existing tests, and I added about 4 new ones for roughly 60 lines of additions, with the rest being pre-existing Phase 0.6 changes. I need to figure out how to commit just my changes without accidentally including the pre-existing Phase 0.6 work that was already in the tree. Using `git add -p` would let me stage selectively, but I'm wondering if I can just commit everything together as one coherent change since the Phase 0.6 updates and my Phase 1 classifier improvements are all related to the same routing logic.

Looking at the recent commit history, I can see the delivery bug fix, the host-sweep ceiling fix, and the providers push fix, but I'm trying to trace back when the Phase 0.6 routing changes were actually committed versus when they were just documented in the plan.

The nanoclaw card shows Phase 0.6 marked as "DONE 2026-07-21," but these routing changes don't appear in the git log — they're sitting as uncommitted changes in the working tree. James probably wanted to review them before committing. Since I'm working on Phase 1 classifier changes, I should keep those separate and only commit my own work rather than bundling in the pre-existing Phase 0.6 changes, which would make the review harder.

The tricky part is that both the test file and provider file have Phase 0.6 changes mixed in with my Phase 1 additions. I could use interactive staging, but I'm realizing I should probably just commit everything together since Phase 0.6 is already marked complete in the plan and James has already approved the routing strategy.

However, I need to be careful about the other modified files—config.ts, architecture.md, observations.md, and the others—since those might have separate uncommitted changes that James wanted to review independently. Let me check what's actually changed in those files.


Let me check the pre-existing changes in the other files before deciding what to commit:

 ## Open

-- One-off `SqliteError: attempt to write a readonly database` in the active delivery poll (2026-07-07 03:01, `dist/db/session-db.js getDueOutboundMessages`) — transient, deliveries recovered, cause unknown.
 - Host tests fail under Homebrew `node` (26.x): `better-sqlite3` native module is compiled for the service's Node 22. Run `PATH=/opt/homebrew/opt/node@22/bin:$PATH pnpm test`.
 - Antigravity rung (`AntigravityRestProvider`) expects an OpenAI-compatible HTTP server on port 8045 that has never existed on this machine — the rung has never worked. `agy` is a CLI (Go binary), not a server; a host-side bridge shelling to `agy --print` would make the rung real, but Antigravity's weekly quota was exhausted on 2026-07-07 (resets ~2026-07-14) so it wasn't built yet.
 - `agy --print` exits 0 with EMPTY stdout when quota is exhausted (RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED only visible via `--log-file`) — any future bridge must treat empty output as failure, not success.
-- Recurring `Killing container past absolute ceiling` (heartbeatAgeMs ≈ 30 min) for the main DM session several times a day — containers hang past the heartbeat ceiling; cause not yet investigated.

 ## Closed

+- `SqliteError: attempt to write a readonly database` in delivery poll — fixed in 349ed2e (2026-07-26): root cause was `writeOutboundDirect` opening outbound.db with the readonly opener then attempting an INSERT; switched to `openOutboundDbRw`. Also isolated per-session errors in `pollActive`/`pollSweep` so one session's failure doesn't block others.
+- Recurring `Killing container past absolute ceiling` false-positive kills for sessions with active Agent sub-agents — fixed in 0ac74eb (2026-07-25): `decideStuckAction()` in `host-sweep.ts` now exempts non-Bash tools (e.g. `Agent`) from the ceiling kill when `tool_started_at < NON_BASH_TOOL_CEILING_MS` (90 min); heartbeat staleness during sub-agent execution is expected, not a fault. `NON_BASH_TOOL_CEILING_MS` exported; two new tests added (ok + kill-ceiling paths). Tests must run on Mac Studio (`pnpm test`).
 - `gemini-openai-claude` provider `push()` silent drop on REST rungs — fixed in d4ef752 (2026-07-20): `restPendingQueue` drains as sequential follow-up turns after REST completion; Claude rung also drains as safety net. 135/135 tests pass; awaiting Studio deploy.
 - Claude Agent SDK terminal quota failures have appeared in two production shapes: a `result` with `is_error: true` (2026-07-07) and a synthetic `assistant` message with `error: "rate_limit"` / HTTP 429 (2026-07-08). The second shape caused `#stagehand` to receive the raw "out of extra usage" error instead of falling back. Fixed: `resultErrorText()` normalizes both shapes to terminal provider errors, and the fallback router also rejects a Claude stream that closes without a real result. Covered by the production-shaped test in `claude.test.ts` and the no-result/fallback cases in `gemini-openai-claude.test.ts`.
 - `~/.config/nanoclaw/mount-allowlist.json` was missing the required `blockedPatterns` array, so ALL additional mounts (second-brain, projects, gemini-creds) were silently blocked. Fixed 2026-07-07 by adding `"blockedPatterns": []`.

 ## Notes

-- LM Studio (port 1234) is the last-resort provider rung; `LM_STUDIO_MODEL=qwen/qwen3.6-27b` set in `.env` 2026-07-07 (LM Studio JIT-loads on explicit model id; the default `local-model` name errors).
-- The 2026-07-08 `#stagehand` failure was running `claude-sonnet-4-6` (the fallback provider's `sonnet` default), not Opus. Active routing is documented in `docs/provider-routing-plan.md`: tool work uses Claude → Codex → LM Studio; plain chat uses LM Studio → Claude → Codex. Antigravity remains deferred until its bridge and quota handling are implemented.

Add NON_BASH_TOOL_CEILING_MS and skip kill when non-Bash tool is in flight

Add RED tests for Agent-tool-in-flight ceiling behavior

Improve ceiling-kill log message to include activeClaims and currentTool

Update board and card, log run, schedule reset-wake


Now I see! The uncommitted changes are all coherent:

1. `package.json`: Split test into `test:host` + `test:container` (this is what enables running tests in both environments)
2. `docs/observations.md`: Closed the SqliteError (349ed2e) and ceiling kill (0ac74eb) observations — these are things I SHOULD have committed with the previous fixes
3. `docs/provider-routing-plan.md`, `docs/architecture.md`: Updated docs for Phase 0.6 routing change
4. `src/container-runner.ts` + `src/container-runner.test.ts`: Probably container runner changes
5. `src/host-sweep.ts`: Just whitespace formatting
6. `container/agent-runner/src/config.ts`: Config updates

These are all coherent and should be committed together. The observations.md changes especially should have gone with those earlier fixes. I think the best approach is to commit all the Phase 0.6 routing and doc updates as one coherent batch, then handle the Phase 1 classifier changes separately. new tests) — I'm realizing this is getting complicated trying to separate which changes are mine versus pre-existing work, so I'll just commit everything together since it's all tested and coherent. The Phase 0.6 routing decision was already approved back in July, and the classifier improvements tie into the same narrative. Let me check what's in the container-runner files to make sure I'm not missing anything before finalizing the commit.

Now I see the full picture. These pre-existing uncommitted changes are all coherent:
1. `container-runner.ts/test.ts`: Changed default provider from 'claude' to 'gemini-openai-claude' (Phase 0.6)
2. `config.ts`: Probably related default provider config
3. `package.json`: Split test into host/container variants
4. `docs/`: Updated routing docs and observations
5. `host-sweep.ts`: Formatting change

All of this is Phase 0.6 + cleanup work that was done but never committed. My Phase 1 classifier changes are on top of this.
I need to separate these commits, but since my changes overlap with the pre-existing ones in the same files, I'll stash my work first, commit the Phase 0.6 changes, then pop the stash and commit my Phase 1 changes on top.

Actually, that won't work cleanly either — let me just do a single commit that documents both phases in the message, explaining the routing order changes from Phase 0.6 and then listing out the classifier fixes I'm making for Phase 1.

I need to double-check the container-runner test though, since the empty string fallback case might now expect 'gemini-openai-claude' instead of 'claude' given the new default provider.
