Closes #296 (Nell-1783's report and proposal, built as proposed).

Problem

Under same_round_think_text_policy: private, the native path withholds the text a round writes beside think() as the round ends. The fallback path (XML tool mode, or a membrane without roundContent) routes the whole turn's prose once, at turn end. It never read the policy: it decides silence with silenceCauseOf, which knows skip_reply and sends but not think. So that text reached the channel.

Fix

• A round that calls think under the private policy is recorded by its place (privateThinkRounds) when its calls arrive, as a refused skip_reply's round is (refusedWakeRounds). So is one whose script calls it. A round whose watched script (its code names a routing tool) hasn't returned when the turn ends is kept back too, since it may have called think, and so is an XML round cut off at the output limit.
• The turn-end delivery drops those rounds' prose with withoutRoundsProse. Text after the last round routes as before.
• As in native mode, the withheld prose isn't drafted. Its receipt: kept private where the turn was silenced by the end of its round, kept in the transcript under proseRouting: disabled, otherwise not counted; explicit routing has no such receipt. A round kept back because its script hadn't returned counts as suppressed, as native counts it (c95558f; under proseRouting: disabled no script is watched, so such a round's words count as all disabled prose does). A round that's both a private think's and a refused call's counts as the think's, which matches native under disabled routing; on other routing native counts a cut-off refused skip_reply's words as kept private, alone or beside think, and this path counts neither, on main too (XML fallback: a cut-off refused skip_reply round's words aren't counted as kept private, as native counts them #1004).
• The fallback logs how many segments it withheld, after the ownership check, and says "or a script that had not returned" when such a round is among them.
• The think and agent_settings descriptions are main's, unchanged: they still limit the policy to the same "native" round, which after this fix says less than is true, in the safe direction, and no agent's tool definitions or prompt cache change (nissa's house's suggestion).
• withoutRoundsProse is main's, unchanged. An earlier version of this PR taught it tool_attempt and tool_notice, which no published membrane writes (0.8.0, 0.9.0, 0.10.0; membrane#101 closed unmerged), so that was dropped (nissa's house's suggestion).

Tests changed on purpose

Four tests pinned the old fallback behaviour, and each now asserts what the native path does:

• same-round-think-policy: "legacy/no-roundContent behavior remains unchanged" (from 1982f0b) asserted that the preface beside think routes under private. It's now "…a private policy withholds the text beside think()", plus a public-policy twin.
• prose-drafts: "XML tool mode: the same-round think policy is native-only…" held that prose as a resendable draft. It now mirrors "deliberate privacy is never drafted".
• agent-allowed-tools: "XML tool mode: a refused think's round goes as a permitted think's does" still asserts the two match. They now match by both staying private, with the trailing prose still going out.
• cut-off-calls: an XML round cut off with a private think pinned its words going out. It now pins them kept back. CutOffRound.xml had no reader left and is removed.

New: a two-round fallback turn with think in round 1, so the round index isn't assumed to be 0; plus a script's think, a script still hanging, a refused call beside think, two private rounds with one silenced, explicit routing, a cut-off round's receipts (its count pinned), and a hung script's case that completes only once its call reached the host, with a no-think twin.

Checked (macOS, Node 22)

• At db3ec652, npm test from a clean dist: 10411 tests, 10361 pass, 0 fail, 47 skipped, 2 cancelled (prose-drafts and ephemeral-settle, each passing alone at that tree, 290/290 and 18/18). That round's plants, and the answers to the automatic review of 8dbd802ba3e6, are in this comment.
• At bbf489df, npm test from a clean dist: 10438 tests, 10389 pass, 0 fail, 47 skipped, 1 cancelled: prose-drafts at its 600 s file timeout under the full run's load. The six touched test files alone at that tree: 468/468.
• At 039362c2 (main merged in), the same shape: 10442 tests, 10393 pass, 0 fail, 47 skipped, prose-drafts cancelled the same way; it and cut-off-calls alone 318/318.
• Earlier, at c64007f0: 9506 tests, 9459 pass, 0 fail, 47 skipped.
• At c64007f0: 15 breakages of the new rules each failed a named test.
• This round's: finding 1's pin fails with the round's segment omitted (2) and counted twice (5), where the old assertion passed both; finding 3's four cases fail with the hold removed (on "never drafted") and with a gate that never opens.
• A fresh second reader, at c64007f0's parent (before its own two findings were fixed), ran the fix against real membrane XML through the path (move then think, thinking block, cut named and unnamed), all four routing modes and a heartbeat turn, and old against new withoutRoundsProse on 200,000 shapes with no attempts in them: 0 differences.
• Not run: a live XML-mode turn against a real provider; Linux locally (CI's).

Automated review

Recommendation: merge. The review found nothing of medium or high severity.

Reviewed commit 822a3c9 with claude-opus-5-5, by reading the code. It did not run the code or look at the checks.

Does this change belong in the project?

It fits the project. This is a bug fix that makes the existing private same-round think policy hold on the fallback path, as it already does on the native path. It reuses the mechanism already there for refused skip_reply rounds and adds no new concept, dependency or public interface.

4 reasons with sources

• It fixes a setting the framework already has, so that the setting behaves the same in every routing mode. The native path already withholds the text a round writes beside think() when the policy is private. The fallback path never read the policy. The fix closes the issue it names (#296) and builds what that issue proposed. (src/framework.ts (hasSameRoundPrivateThink / sameRoundThinkTextPolicy))
• It reuses the existing way of dropping a round's prose by its position instead of adding a second one. privateThinkRounds copies refusedWakeRounds and goes through the same withoutRoundsProse call at turn end. The withheld prose is counted into the existing keptPrivate receipt. (src/framework.ts (refusedWakeRounds / withoutRoundsProse))
• It changes old tests on purpose and adds new ones that check the corrected behaviour. Three tests that pinned the old fallback behaviour now check what the native path does. New tests cover a two-round fallback turn under both the private and public policies. The PR body gives the test counts and says what was not run (a live XML-mode turn), as the guide asks. (CONTRIBUTING.md (What a PR should contain))
• It adds the changelog fragment the guide requires, but an older unreleased fragment still describes the old behaviour. That fragment says the private think hold doesn't apply on the fallback path. It describes how the code behaved before, not a rule in any design document, so it doesn't make this change out of scope. The code review already reported that the fragment needs updating. (changelog.d/hold-round-speech.fixed.md:44-45)

Findings

No findings of medium or high severity.

1 more finding, less severe

• Low severity, documentation, changelog.d/hold-round-speech.fixed.md:40-45. Existing unreleased changelog fragment still says the private think hold doesn't apply on the fallback. hold-round-speech.fixed.md (still unreleased) says that on the fallback without roundContent, as in XML tool mode, "The private think hold and an explicit round's skip_reply don't apply there (#307)." With this PR, a private think's round is withheld on the fallback too, so the next release's CHANGELOG would hold two entries that contradict each other. The fragment should be edited to drop the think half of that sentence, or the new fragment should say it supersedes it.

[nissa-seru]

@slimepriestess Our review found one change to how the receipt counts the withheld prose, and three text fixes, and we've put them in a pull request into this branch: #641. Merging it brings them here.

Two things it leaves out:

• A code_execution round that's withheld before routeRound enters neither refusedWakeRounds nor privateThinkRounds, as is already so on main for refusedWakeRounds: Fallback routing: a code_execution round withheld before routeRound keeps neither its skip_reply nor its private think at turn end #642.
• withoutRoundsProse ends a round only at tool_result. fix(xml-tools): refuse malformed parameter boundaries; CDATA as the literal spelling; notices for refused calls antra-tess/membrane#101, open, adds tool_attempt and tool_notice blocks for a refused attempt, and with them text before such an attempt would share the next round's place. No released membrane has them.

Merged #641 into this branch (fast-forward to b6c8dd36). Your receipt fix is right. My first version counted the withheld prose as kept private on every fallback turn, but natively a private-think round only counts when the turn is already silenced as that round ends. So the description's "counts it as kept private, as the native one does" was wider than the code it described.

Checked at b6c8dd36 (macOS, Node 22):

• Your counts reproduce: same-round-think-policy 21/21, prose-drafts 92/92, agent-allowed-tools 68/68.
• Putting my original over-count back fails 2 in prose-drafts.
• npm test: 5813 tests, 5782 pass, 0 fail, 31 skipped.

#642 (code_execution rounds) and the open membrane#101 boundary are noted. Thanks, Nell.

Findings, most severe first:

• 1. should fix at src/framework.ts:17697, src/framework.ts:18019, src/prose-segments.ts:75, src/prose-segments.ts:83, src/prose-segments.ts:42, src/prose-segments.ts:74, src/framework.ts:18004: Fallback filtering ignores tool_attempt/tool_notice boundaries, so all-refused XML attempt prose is merged into the next think round.
  • Failing case: An all-refused XML attempt follows ordinary prose, then a later round emits different prose and calls think() under the private policy: both prose segments have index 0 in withoutRoundsProse, so the earlier, unrelated prose is withheld as well as the think-round prose, and the withheld count is inflated.
• 2. should fix at src/framework.ts:8789, src/framework.ts:5832, test/agent-runtime-settings.test.ts:48: Agent-settings schema and think-tool description still limit the policy to the native assistant round.
  • Failing case: An agent using XML tool mode inspects or changes the policy: the fallback now applies either policy to its think round too, but the descriptions and the schema-description assertion still identify only native rounds.
• 3. minor at src/framework.ts:17630, src/framework.ts:17636, src/framework.ts:17728, src/framework.ts:17747, src/framework.ts:17881, src/framework.ts:18019, src/framework.ts:17745: privateThinkRounds is recorded only in routeRound, so pending or displaced script rounds never record their think call.
  • Failing case: A fallback round calls think() alongside a foreground script that may affect routing, and the stream completes while the script is still pending: the completion guard flushes the pending round, but routeRound has not added its index and the turn-end fallback can publish the prose beside think(), despite the private policy.
• 4. minor at src/framework.ts:17645, src/framework.ts:17657, src/framework.ts:18025, src/framework.ts:18028, src/framework.ts:18315, src/framework.ts:14116: Fallback receipt counts subtract refused-wake rounds before private-think rounds, so overlapping rounds are never counted.
  • Failing case: A round contains private think() and a skip_reply wake refused by the host: native routing counts its prose as kept private, or as suppressed in disabled mode, but fallback computes privateThinkWithheld as zero and records neither count.
• 5. minor at src/framework.ts:18032, src/framework.ts:18048, src/framework.ts:17909: The private-think routing log fires before the stream-ownership recheck, so it can log about replaced streams.
  • Failing case: A replacement takes ownership while the completing stream awaits pending-result storage; on resumption it logs prose as not routed beside think(), then the ownership check discards the old stream before its fallback delivery or receipt.
• 6. minor at src/framework.ts:5831, changelog.d/fallback-private-think.fixed.md:1: The changelog omits the private-policy think tool description change, which alters provider request bytes.
  • Failing case: After upgrading, an agent using the private policy sends the revised think description instead of the previous one and can miss its existing prompt cache, but the release note only describes fallback routing and receipt behavior.
• 7. minor at test/prose-drafts.test.ts:2277, test/prose-drafts.test.ts:2285: The unsilenced fallback test does not assert channel delivery, so it cannot detect withheld prose being published.
  • Failing case: If the fallback publishes both 'Prose beside think.' and 'After the think.' without creating drafts or a kept-private count, every assertion in this test still passes.
• 8. minor at test/prose-drafts.test.ts:2265, test/prose-drafts.test.ts:2285, test/same-round-think-policy.test.ts:1039: Fallback tests use only negative assertions and never confirm turn-end delivery ran.
  • Failing case: If the stream stops after the explicit send in the later-send test, its publish exists but drafts and kept-private receipts remain empty; similarly, the legacy routed-empty and unsilenced tests can pass without a successful completion.
• 9. minor at changelog.d/hold-round-speech.fixed.md:43: The fallback description wrongly says a silencing send drafts the whole turn's prose, though private-think rounds are excluded.
  • Failing case: In XML mode, a private think round followed by a silencing send leaves the think round's prose private and undrafted, rather than holding the whole turn as drafts; an operator looking for that draft would be misled.
• 10. minor at changelog.d/fallback-private-think.fixed.md:1, change-text.md:13, commit-messages.txt:13: Receipt descriptions promise kept-private counts without excluding unsilenced turns and explicit routing.
  • Failing case: An unsilenced XML private-think turn produces no kept-private count, and in explicit routing even a silenced private-think round has no turn-level delivery receipt; the fragment's “kept private where a send or skip_reply has silenced the turn” does not state the explicit-mode exception.
• 11. minor at src/framework.ts:18283: The fallback turn-end comment says the whole turn is routed, though finalRuns now excludes private-think rounds.
  • Failing case: When a fallback turn contains a private think and later prose, only the remaining segments are routed or held; a maintainer following this comment would expect the private round to reach that branch too.

[slimepriestess]

Thanks for the review. c64007f0 answers it. Main had rewritten the turn's silence under this PR (mergeSilence, sendsOf, the cut-off round, drafts), so it starts with a merge of 26c4bdb1, and I re-ran everything on that. I ran the findings at the merged head before changing anything, and a fresh second reader ran my fix and found two things I'd missed (below).

Should fix

• 1, taken, though not reachable today. The failing case is real in withoutRoundsProse, and the fix is there: prose that an attempt or notice ends is no round's. But the installed membrane (^0.8.0) doesn't emit tool_attempt or tool_notice; only the open membrane#101 does (read, not run). So this is a fix for when that lands. A second thing to check then, also read: on feat(tool-results): raise the house inline cap 5000 → 24000 #101 a cut block holding think becomes a trailing tool_attempt, so its prose would go out, and this PR doesn't cover that.
• 2, taken. think's description under either policy and agent_settings's schema no longer say "native".

Minor

• 3, taken, and wider than you described. A direct think is now recorded when its calls arrive. The second reader then got the same leak another way, by run: a script that calls think and then hangs, with the stream completing while it waits. A round whose script hasn't returned when the turn ends is now kept back under the private policy, whichever tools the script named, since it may have called think. That prose is counted nowhere on this path, where native says "suppressed"; I've left that difference as it is.
• 4, taken. A private think's round beside a refused call counts as the think's.
• 5, taken. The log waits for the ownership check.
• 6, taken. The fragment says the tool definitions change, so a prompt cache misses once.
• 7, 8, taken. The tests now assert what goes out, and the later-send test holds trailing prose to show the turn reached its delivery.
• 9, moot. Main compiled hold-round-speech.fixed.md into its release, so that fragment is gone. This PR's own fragment says a send's hold leaves these rounds out.
• 10, taken. The fragment gives the receipt for each routing mode.
• 11, taken. The comment says what's held back, and a nearby one that had become untrue is corrected.

Beyond the review, from the merge and the second reader:

• An XML round cut off at the output limit now follows the policy too. Main excluded it, on the reason that the policy never reaches XML, which this PR makes untrue. So cut-off-calls has a test changed on purpose: it pinned that round's words going out and now pins them kept back. CutOffRound.xml had no reader left, so it's gone. The second reader also found its receipt didn't match native's; it now does, with tests.
• Counting under explicit routing: the !== 'explicit' check was needless, since nothing reads that count there, so I removed it. An explicit-routing test pins what goes out.

Checked at c64007f0 (macOS, Node 22): npm run build && npm test from a clean dist: 9506 tests, 9459 pass, 0 fail, 47 skipped. 15 breakages of the new rules each fail a named test; three of them survived my first tests and got new ones, and a fourth showed a check nothing could observe, which I removed. Red before the fix: findings 1, 2, 3 and 4 and both of the second reader's cases, by run. At the commit before those two fixes, the reader also ran old against new withoutRoundsProse on 200,000 shapes with no attempts in them (0 differences), and real membrane XML through the path. Not run: a live XML turn against a real provider, Linux locally (CI's).

About these findings

The findings below came from reading this PR and relevant code; not a holistic understanding of the project's functional intent and its architecture choices. Finding precision is higher for flagging issues than identifying ideal changes/fixes. This review prioritizes recall - minor findings (in particular) may be nits.

Before actioning a finding, consider the relevant code from first principles given the functional+architectural intent. In particular, when considering adding machinery/logic, scrutinize whether the incremental value of such pays rent for the complexity it adds to the codebase - kudzu has a direct negative impact on our future ability to work with the codebase.

Consider explicitly mentioning which findings you accept/decline (by code-formatted numerical id) and why; this enables future rounds of automated review to take your notes into account.

Findings, most severe first:

• 1. should fix at test/cut-off-calls.test.ts:518, test/cut-off-calls.test.ts:521, src/framework.ts:29444, src/framework.ts:29748: The cut-off-round receipt test matches only the receipt wording and never asserts the suppressed count.
  • Failing case: The preceding XML move round already contributes a suppressed segment, so the test still passes if the cut-off think's segment is omitted from the receipt entirely or counted multiple times; it should assert the expected total.
• 2. should fix at src/framework.ts:29297, src/framework.ts:29301, src/framework.ts:29445, src/framework.ts:29750: A cut-off round's own calls are merged into silence only on the live path, so a cut-off round with think and a refused skip_reply isn't counted as kept private.
  • Failing case: After an unsilenced earlier tool round, end an XML response at max_tokens with both a named think and a named skip_reply in the cut-off round under private policy: the prose is withheld, but the fallback receipt omits the kept-private count that native routing produces for the same refused-wake/private-think round.
• 3. should fix at test/prose-drafts.test.ts:3577, test/prose-drafts.test.ts:3580, test/prose-drafts.test.ts:3592, test/prose-drafts.test.ts:3595, test/prose-drafts.test.ts:389: The hanging-script tests complete the stream without waiting for the script to call think or enter the hanging send, and assert no positive delivery.
  • Failing case: If script startup is delayed, completion can occur before the first script call; an empty room and no drafts then pass without exercising a think followed by a hang or demonstrating that fallback delivery ran. Gate completion on observed script/send entry and assert a separately deliverable trailing outcome.
• 4. minor at src/framework.ts:28944, src/framework.ts:31373, src/framework.ts:28845, src/framework.ts:29432: The lexical routing-tool scan misses a script's think call when the script builds or escapes the tool name, so the round never enters privateThinkRounds.
  • Failing case: With private policy in XML mode, emit prose beside code_execution whose script calls tools['th' + 'ink'](...), and let the script finish before the turn completes; the think call reaches the host during that round, but scriptMayRoute returns false, so the round's prose is delivered or held as a resendable draft instead of remaining private.
• 5. minor at src/framework.ts:28999, src/framework.ts:29441, src/framework.ts:29743, src/framework.ts:29748, change-text.md:14: A script round held back only because its script hasn't returned is added to privateThinkRounds as a confirmed private-think round.
  • Failing case: Under private policy, let a watched script still be running when the fallback turn completes without any known think call: the code logs its prose as being beside think(), and with proseRouting disabled records it as suppressed, although the change description says this uncertain round is counted nowhere on the fallback path.
• 6. minor at src/prose-segments.ts:94, src/framework.ts:29432: A tool_notice or tool_attempt inside an already-started tool round clears its unclaimed prose, even when that round is withheld as private.
  • Failing case: With content [tool_use(think), text('private reasoning'), tool_notice, tool_result] and private round 0, the text is between the call and its result but unclaimed is cleared at the notice; withoutRoundsProse retains it and fallback routing can publish it.

Thank you for merging main in and for the round. I'm taking all six findings of the automatic review of 039362c2c808. I'll reproduce each at that head before changing anything, and answer them by number with the runs, by end of day Tuesday, Pacific.

[anima-review]

Automatic context view of 039362c2c808 merged onto 9e9128ac2311.

What a context view runs and what its checks judge: CHECKS.md.

The records of 73 of the 75 runs it could compare differ between the base and this head.

Couldn't tell whether 13 changed source lines ran, since H6/continuation: its profiled drive failed at step c.debt: the turn's first inference failure (inference:failed, which agent-framework may still have retried): {"type":"inference:failed","agentName":"fixture","error":"400 {\"type\":\"error\",\"error\":{\"type\":\ (the reason's first 263 of 1,341 characters). 33 changed source lines map to nothing the host runs: 28 of src/framework.ts's and 5 of src/prose-segments.ts's. The whole list is in the fold below.

1 run couldn't be compared; its reason is below.

Usage: the agents' requests, subagents' included, in the 75 runs, base → head: 208,366 → 208,238 tokens sent a request, 70.9% of them read from the cache, 145,290,447 → 145,168,438 written to it, 3,919,189 output and 24 thinking blocks dropped. The figures of 73 runs moved, for any kind of request; they're under "Usage that differs", below. The figures are the stand-in's model of each provider's published caching and token rules, not a measurement; the stand-in answers the same every time, so a difference between the arms comes from the change.

A model's account of those records:

Delta 1: Tool definitions change

In compared runs with tools, wherever resident, reader, subagent or summariser requests declare the changed tools.

• base (main): The model receives the previous definitions of the tool for private thinking and the tool for changing agent settings.
• head (039362c2c808): The model receives changed definitions of those tools, including where tool instructions are embedded in the system prompt.

Delta 2: Settings-tool listings change

In wake-rule conversations that inspect the settings tools, in resident requests retaining that listing and in context prepared without sending for the reply judge.

• base (main): The retained tool-listing result contains the previous settings-tool definitions.
• head (039362c2c808): The retained tool-listing result contains changed settings-tool definitions.

Delta 3: Earlier conversation is recalled at different detail (the description doesn't mention it)

In continuation conversations under default folding, through Bedrock, with the packed graph solver, with early merging, without speculative merging, without merges, or with compression waiting for merges, when preparing the resident's context.

• base (main): The resident's model receives the base's mixture of original messages, document portions and summaries, with cache markers on that selection.
• head (039362c2c808): The resident's model receives a different mixture of original messages, document portions and summaries, with changed cache-marker positions.

Delta 4: An inherited opening reply loses its thinking (the description doesn't mention it)

At the opening continuation request on a model that binds thinking, when continuing the more recent inherited conversation.

• base (main): The resident's model receives the inherited conversation's opening reply with its stored thinking.
• head (039362c2c808): The resident's model receives that reply without its thinking.
• Also in: Later requests in that continuation retain the same removal from the inherited opening reply.

Delta 5: Other requests carry changed message bodies (the description doesn't mention it)

In continuation conversations involving tool work and in wake-rule conversations that inspect settings tools, in resident requests and their tool-result continuations.

• base (main): The model receives the conversation and tool results with the base's message content and cache markings.
• head (039362c2c808): The model receives changed message content or cache markings while the messages and tool results explicitly named for those requests remain unchanged.

Delta 6: Summariser input-size estimates change (the description doesn't mention it)

In summariser requests during the tool-heavy conversation with images and pasted documents on a model that binds thinking.

• base (main): The summariser receives the base's estimated size of the conversation it is asked to compress.
• head (039362c2c808): The summariser receives a different estimated input size, with the requested summary length unchanged.

Delta 7: Wake-decision request bodies change (the description doesn't mention it)

In the wake-rule conversation with the default reply judge, when the judge decides whether held channel messages should wake the resident.

• base (main): The reply judge receives the base's message content and cache markings for judging the held events.
• head (039362c2c808): The reply judge receives changed message content or cache markings for the same held events, with request settings and verdicts unchanged.

Delta 8: Final internal context bookkeeping changes (the description doesn't mention it)

At the end of continuation conversations under default folding, through Bedrock, with the packed graph solver, with early merging, without speculative merging, or with compression waiting for merges.

• base (main): The context manager's final internal report contains the base's set of older-message summary changes.
• head (039362c2c808): That report adds or omits older messages recorded as summary changes.

A run that writes its own history first, as a fresh twin does, is shown without that history's requests, so its figures are its workload's alone, as the upgraded runs' are.

Changed source lines and deletions not seen to run, by file

Couldn't tell for any line or deletion not seen to run, since H6/continuation: its profiled drive failed at step c.debt: the turn's first inference failure (inference:failed, which agent-framework may still have retried): {"type":"inference:failed","agentName":"fixture","error":"400 {\"type\":\"error\",\"error\":{\"type\":\"invalid_request_error\",\"message\":\"prompt is too long: 201268 tokens > 200000 maximum\"}}","stack":"MembraneError: 400 {\"type\":\"error\",\"error\":{\"type\":\"invalid_request_error\",\"message\":\"prompt is too long: 201268 tokens > 200000 maximum\"}}\n at errorFromProviderStatus (candidate/node_modules/@animalabs/membrane/src/types/errors.ts:663:14)\n at typeError (candidate/node_modules/@animalabs/membrane/src/providers/anthropic.ts:1069:26)\n at handleError (candidate/node_modules/@animalabs/membrane/src/providers/anthropic.ts:1031:24)\n at stream (candidate/node_modules/@animalabs/membrane/src/providers/anthropic.ts:887:18)\n at async stream (candidate/src/logging-adapter.ts:968:18)\n at async settle (candidate/node_modules/@animalabs/membrane/src/membrane.ts:1688:20)\n at async streamOnce (candidate/node_modules/@animalabs/membrane/src/membrane.ts:2051:40)\n at async runXmlToolsYielding (candidate/node_modules/@animalabs/membrane/src/membrane.ts:2925:30)","timestamp":1767701760000,"ts":1767701760000}, so what it would have run after that can't be told.

Held the same in base and head: connectome-host fc9684c7fb07, chronicle 0.6.0, context-manager 0.25.1 (the view chose it for both arms, since connectome-host's lockfile holds 0.25.0, which doesn't meet ^0.25.1 from the base), membrane 0.8.0.

@slimepriestess Thank you, Weft. We merged main, at 152ee76fba, into this branch. The merge commit is 039362c2. It had no conflicts. Against that main, the branch adds and removes the same lines it did before the merge. main has moved on since.

We ran this branch's six changed test files on Linux, with Node 24. On the merged code, all 468 tests pass. With main's source under the same test files, 21 fail, and they're the tests this pull request adds or changes. So the problem in #296 still happens on main.

We've asked for a fresh automatic review of the new head. We had begun a round of our own after it, and we've held it back so it doesn't collide with yours.

Our reading of the change found two parts that may not pay for themselves. These are suggestions for you to weigh:

• The tool_attempt and tool_notice handling in withoutRoundsProse. No published membrane emits either block type. Membrane 0.8.0, 0.9.0 and 0.10.0 have neither in their dist, and fix(xml-tools): refuse malformed parameter boundaries; CDATA as the literal spelling; notices for refused calls antra-tess/membrane#101 closed without merging. The review's finding 6 is in this code.
• The new think and agent_settings descriptions. They change every agent's tool definitions, so each agent's prompt cache misses once. main's descriptions limit the policy to the same "native" assistant round. Kept as they are, they'd say less than is true after the fix, but in the safe direction.

We also tried the change without its receipt counting for the withheld text, and first judged that it could go. That was our miss. Without it, a turn silenced by a send gets no receipt line for that text, which says nothing untrue. But it also breaks a count main already gives. cut-off-calls' "counts the words of a turn's first round, cut off with a private think, as suppressed under disabled routing" loses its count. So we don't suggest removing it.

One more miss of ours may save you time on finding 3. We made the hanging-script tests wait for the script's send, and end with later speech we expected the delivery to hold. That speech was neither posted nor held, so our expectation was wrong.

Answers to the automatic review of 039362c2c808, now at 9a117530. Each finding was reproduced at 039362c2 before anything changed. Runs are macOS, Node 22. At b3adfcff (9a117530's code, before comment-only changes), the full npm test from a clean dist was 0 fail, 47 skipped, with prose-drafts cancelled at its 600 s file timeout under the full run's load, as it was at 039362c2. The three touched test files alone at 9a117530's tree: 331/331.

• 1: taken (1f0a300). Ran: the case's receipt reads 3, which is the east round's words, the think round's, and the words after its block, before the limit. The old assertion passed with that round's segment omitted (2) and counted twice (5). It now pins 3, and goes red on both.
• 2: reproduced, filed as XML fallback: a cut-off refused skip_reply round's words aren't counted as kept private, as native counts them #1004 rather than fixed here. Ran on main (152ee76f) and at 039362c2: native counts a cut-off refused skip_reply's words as "1 … kept private" whether or not a think shares the round, and the XML path counts neither. So the gap is main's and wider than this PR's rounds. The words stay out of the channel on both paths; only the receipt differs. The body's line "counts as the think's" now says it matches native only under disabled routing, and points to XML fallback: a cut-off refused skip_reply round's words aren't counted as kept private, as native counts them #1004.
• 3: taken (32ea385). Ran: the case passed with no think in the script at all, since a watched script's round that hasn't returned is held under the private policy either way. The stream now completes only once the script's send has reached the host, which happens after its think returned. A gate that never opens fails the case instead of ending the turn. A no-think twin says plainly that the round is held either way. With the hold removed, all four cases go red on "never drafted".
• 4: declined, as main's. Read: scriptMayRoute reads a script's code with routingToolsNamed, whose doc (framework.ts:392–402) says a tool name built at runtime goes unseen. This PR doesn't change it. A second reader ran the same limit from the other side: a script naming no routing tool isn't watched, so its round's words are posted.
• 5: log half taken, count half declined. Ran: the turn-end log said "beside think()" for a round kept back only because its script hadn't returned. It now says "beside think() or a script that had not returned" when such a round is among those kept back (9a11753); no test reads it. The count half can't happen. Read at framework.ts:376, and run (by me without think, by the second reader with and without): under proseRouting: disabled, changesRouting returns false, so no script is watched. Such a round's words count as all disabled prose does ("kept in the transcript"), and the body now says so.
• 6: taken (bc10d52, a8f19fb). Ran: withoutRoundsProse kept a private round's text between its call and its result when a notice sat between them (red on the old helper, 1 of 11). A notice now ends unclaimed text only before the round's first call. This is the helper's contract, not a reachable leak today: no released membrane writes tool_notice or tool_attempt (0.9.0, the newest this package admits, and 0.10.0 checked), and membrane#101 closed unmerged. A case it leaves as the block order says, now in the doc: a round refused in part, with the refused attempt ahead of the accepted call, keeps the text before that attempt.

A fresh second reader went over these commits before the push. It found the never-opening gate's first form (it threw into the stream, so the cases passed through [inference-failed]), the twin's too-broad comment, and a stale module header. All three are in the commits above.

Thank you, Tabitha and Leonard. I posted my answers above without having read your comment, which landed an hour before them. Sorry; it would have changed two of them.

I'm weighing both suggestions now and expect to take both: drop the tool_attempt / tool_notice handling from withoutRoundsProse, including what I just added for finding 6, and keep main's think and agent_settings descriptions so no agent's tool definitions change. I'll push that with runs, re-read the automatic context view against it, and answer here by end of day Tuesday, Pacific. Thank you too for the note on finding 3's hanging-script tests, and for keeping the receipt counting.

— Weft (Opus), via Ra's account

[slimepriestess]

Both taken, at bbf489df.

• withoutRoundsProse is main's again, with its tests (95d9946). That drops what I'd added for the automatic review's finding 6, so read my answer to 6 above as superseded: with no published membrane writing tool_attempt or tool_notice, the helper has no case to handle. The one fallback test built on those blocks went with it. With them gone, the earlier rewrite was main's function, as a second reader's 200,000-shape comparison had found.
• The think and agent_settings descriptions are main's three strings again, and the test that pinned the new wording is gone (bbf489d). The body now says the text stays "native" and errs in the safe direction.

Ran (macOS, Node 22): the six touched test files at bbf489df 468/468. Full npm test from a clean dist: 10438 tests, 10389 pass, 0 fail, 47 skipped, with prose-drafts cancelled at its 600 s file timeout under the full run's load, as at 039362c2. Against main the change is now src/framework.ts and src/cut-off-round.ts, +70 −17. I'll read the next automatic context view against this head, since most of the last one's differing runs looked like they came from the description change.

— Weft (Opus), via Ra's account

[nissa-seru]

@slimepriestess Thank you, Weft. At bbf489df, the changelog fragment still describes two things that 95d99464 and bbf489df took back. It's changelog.d/fallback-private-think.fixed.md.

• The first bullet's last sentence says the policy's texts "no longer say 'native'", so tool definitions change and the prompt cache misses once. bbf489df restored main's strings, and src/framework.ts says "native" at lines 9137, 9138 and 14285.
• The second bullet describes the tool_attempt and tool_notice handling, which 95d99464 removed.

Without that sentence and the second bullet, the fragment would match this head.

Keeping main's descriptions was our suggestion, and it leaves the agent's tool text saying less than the code now does. On the fallback path, an agent whose policy is private now has its words beside think withheld. Its own tool text still says the policy covers text in "the SAME native assistant round" as think() (src/framework.ts:9137; :14285 says "the same native assistant round").

[slimepriestess]

Thank you, and right on both. Missed when I took the two changes back. Fixed at 8dbd802b (docs only): the fragment's last sentence now says the think and agent_settings texts are unchanged and still say "native", which says less than the fallback path now does, so no tool definitions or prompt cache change. The tool_attempt / tool_notice bullet is gone. It also now says "a watched script" where it said any script. On the tool text saying less than the code, I've left it as you suggested; the fragment now says so in its own words.

Automatic context view of 8dbd802ba3e6 merged onto 6c7810995c34.

What a context view runs and what its checks judge: CHECKS.md.

The records of the 75 runs it could compare don't differ between the base and this head.

In the files profiled hosts loaded, 18 changed source lines that map to code ran in no profiled drive: src/framework.ts lines 29669–29672, 29969–29972, 30115, 30119, 30418–30424 and 30426. 30 changed source lines map to nothing the host runs: 30 of src/framework.ts's. The whole list is in the fold below.

1 run couldn't be compared; its reason is below.

Usage: the figures of the agents' requests, subagents' included, in the 75 runs are the same in the base and this head: 210,056 tokens sent a request, 70.5% of them read from the cache, 146,458,793 written to it, 3,882,364 output, 24 thinking blocks dropped, USD 0.5919 at list price a priced request and 123 requests with no list price. The figures are the stand-in's model of each provider's published caching and token rules, not a measurement; the stand-in answers the same every time, so a difference between the arms comes from the change. A list price is what each arm's host prices those figures at with its own table (connectome-host's priceCall), where it gives one, so it rests on the same model, with the stand-in's token estimate in place of the provider's own count, cache hits as the script's pacing gives them, and scripted replies.

Runs that couldn't be compared (1)

This head couldn't be compared at H5c/W12: its self-check, which drives this head again with recording off, didn't find the two drives' requests the same, so a difference from the base can't be put down to the change alone (93 requests with recording on, 93 with it off; its messages differs).

Automatic review of 8dbd802ba3e6.

About these findings

The findings below came from reading this PR and relevant code; not a holistic understanding of the project's functional intent and its architecture choices. Finding precision is higher for flagging issues than identifying ideal changes/fixes. This review prioritizes recall - minor findings (in particular) may be nits.

Before actioning a finding, consider the relevant code from first principles given the functional+architectural intent. In particular, when considering adding machinery/logic, scrutinize whether the incremental value of such pays rent for the complexity it adds to the codebase - kudzu has a direct negative impact on our future ability to work with the codebase.

Consider explicitly mentioning which findings you accept/decline (by code-formatted numerical id) and why; this enables future rounds of automated review to take your notes into account.

Findings, most severe first:

• 1. minor at src/framework.ts:29414, src/framework.ts:29617, src/modules/discord/index.ts:912, src/modules/discord/index.ts:924: Private-round text is filtered from host routing but still passed unfiltered to modules as thoughts.
  • Failing case: On an XML fallback turn, write private prose beside think() and a successful Discord send; the send records a same-turn post, then dispatchSpeech passes all response text as thoughts and Discord edits that post to include the supposedly private prose as a spoiler.
• 2. minor at src/framework.ts:19134, src/framework.ts:19166, src/framework.ts:28408, src/framework.ts:28562, src/framework.ts:29447, src/framework.ts:29749, src/framework.ts:28829: Fallback private-round accounting runs only at stream completion, so cancellation or a budget restart discards stream-local round sets.
  • Failing case: A disabled-routing fallback stream writes a segment beside think and then hits a budget restart, or ends at a later skip_reply; native routing has already counted that segment as suppressed, but the fallback produces a receipt without it because that stream never executes the completion accounting.
• 3. minor at src/framework.ts:29151, src/framework.ts:29275, src/framework.ts:29326, src/framework.ts:29438, src/prose-segments.ts:73: Fabricated results for a stream completing before a private round's results are not added to the response the prose filter reads.
  • Failing case: For a fallback response containing private-round text, a think tool_use, and a trailing text block, with completion while the tool is still pending, the native terminal-content path treats the last block as trailing prose, but the fallback drops it along with the private round and can misclassify its receipt.
• 4. minor at src/framework.ts:28860, src/framework.ts:28873, src/framework.ts:29438, src/framework.ts:29446, src/framework.ts:29756, src/framework.ts:29771: Under disabled routing, a refused-wake-only round is removed from final prose and from the private-think count, so it's never counted.
  • Failing case: In a fallback turn with one private-think round and a separate refused skip_reply round, each containing one segment, the receipt counts only the think segment; native disabled routing counts both as kept in the transcript.
• 5. minor at test/same-round-think-policy.test.ts:1028, test/prose-drafts.test.ts:3575, test/prose-drafts.test.ts:3596, test/prose-drafts.test.ts:3611: Negative privacy assertions don't establish that turn-end prose delivery ran.
  • Failing case: If the stream fails after starting but before the completion's prose is processed, the legacy test still sees an empty routed array and the hanging-script tests still see no publication or draft; each should first establish that its completion reached turn-end delivery, for example with a deliverable trailing segment or another completion marker.
  • Raised before as finding 8 of the review of b6c8dd366cbb, fixed then; this is a case the fix leaves.
• 6. minor at test/prose-drafts.test.ts:375, test/prose-drafts.test.ts:396, test/prose-drafts.test.ts:3574, test/prose-drafts.test.ts:3595: The test gate's missed flag starts false and changes only inside the tool-calls loop, so asserting it false proves no arrival.
  • Failing case: If the stream terminates without yielding tool-calls, ready is never evaluated and gate.missed remains false even though the script's send never reached the host; both gated tests can pass their claimed arrival check without that arrival.
• 7. minor at test/prose-drafts.test.ts:3569, test/prose-drafts.test.ts:3591, test/prose-drafts.test.ts:3608, src/framework.ts:29002: Hanging-script tests don't pin the script's or the direct think, because the unreturned-script hold gives the same verdict.
  • Failing case: Removing tools.think from the first script makes it the no-think twin, and removing the direct think from the third leaves the same watched hanging script; in both cases the unreturned-script hold still keeps the prose back and the assertions pass, so these tests cannot detect a regression in recording those thinks while the script hangs.
• 8. minor at test/prose-drafts.test.ts:3214: The two-private-rounds test checks only the aggregate count, not which round was counted or kept private.
  • Failing case: If the unsilenced first round is counted and the silenced second round is omitted, the receipt still says one segment kept private and the test passes; likewise, leaking or drafting the first round is not asserted against.
• 9. minor at test/prose-drafts.test.ts:3165, test/prose-drafts.test.ts:3256: Receipt-count tests accept an empty receipt list, which makes their negative assertions vacuous.
  • Failing case: If turn-end delivery still holds the trailing draft or publishes the trailing text but stops appending delivery receipts, both tests pass even though they are meant to verify what the receipt says; both turns have a draft or delivery that should produce a receipt.
• 10. minor at changelog.d/fallback-private-think.fixed.md:1, src/framework.ts:29303, src/framework.ts:28383: The changelog fragment omits the changed native receipt for a first response cut off inside a private think.
  • Failing case: After a send silences a turn and a context-budget restart carries that silence into a native stream, its first response ends at max_tokens inside a named private think: both versions withhold the words in locus, hybrid and explicit routing, but the base counts none and the head counts them as kept private in locus and hybrid; explicit has no such receipt. Disabled routing counts the words as kept in the transcript in both versions. The omission would mislead operators and maintainers comparing native-mode receipts.
• 11. minor at changelog.d/fallback-private-think.fixed.md:1, src/framework.ts:28999, src/framework.ts:29451: The fragment says withheld silenced rounds count as kept private, but unreturned watched-script rounds aren't added to that count.
  • Failing case: On the fallback path, after an earlier send silences the turn, a watched script's round is still running when the stream completes; its prose is withheld but is counted nowhere, rather than reported as kept private, misleading readers interpreting the receipt.
• 12. minor at src/framework.ts:9137, src/framework.ts:28999: The private-policy think description says later rounds without think() route normally, but the unreturned-script hold withholds them.
  • Failing case: An agent follows a private think with a fallback-mode round whose script names a send tool and is still pending when the stream completes; the later round's prose is withheld rather than routed normally, contrary to the guidance shown to the agent.
• 13. minor at test/prose-drafts.test.ts:3242, src/prose-segments.ts:74, test/prose-drafts.test.ts:3249: A test comment claims prose before an all-refused XML attempt is preserved, but the helper treats no attempt as a boundary and the test has no attempt.
  • Failing case: With text, a tool_attempt and tool_notice, then a private think round at index zero, withoutRoundsProse removes the text preceding the attempt along with the think round; the cited test contains no attempt and does not establish its comment's claim.
• 14. minor at test/same-round-think-policy.test.ts:1019, src/framework.ts:9137, src/framework.ts:14285: A test comment says the policy text makes no fallback exception, but the descriptions still name native rounds.
  • Failing case: A maintainer reading the legacy/no-roundContent test could infer that the agent-facing policy already describes fallback behavior; inspecting the actual descriptions shows they still name native rounds only.

Raised before, still answered (2)

• minor at src/framework.ts:28947, src/framework.ts:31382, src/framework.ts:28848, src/framework.ts:29438: A script that builds the think tool name at runtime is not watched, so its think call is never attributed to its round. Raised before as finding 4 of the review of 039362c2c808, answered by @slimepriestess; at this head: The diff leaves routingToolsNamed and the scriptMayRoute call at 28949 unchanged, and the doc at 392-402 says what the answer cites. So 'main's, and this PR doesn't change it' holds, both for direct scripts and on the native path, which has the same blind spot.
• minor at src/framework.ts:29302, src/framework.ts:29305, src/framework.ts:29307, src/framework.ts:29451, src/framework.ts:29759, src/framework.ts:32874: A cut-off private-think round doesn't merge its own refused skip_reply into silence, unlike native routing. Raised before as finding 2 of the review of 039362c2c808, answered by @slimepriestess as a choice; at this head: Deferring to #1004 is a scope choice, and its facts hold: the cut round is in both privateThinkRounds and refusedWakeRounds (29302-29304), so its words are withheld, only the kept-private count differs, and main's XML path already counts no cut refused skip_reply.

[slimepriestess]

Thank you for the round. I'm taking the automatic review of 8dbd802ba3e6 now, finding 1 first: a successful Discord send beside private prose being edited to include that prose as a spoiler would be the leak this PR is for. I'll reproduce it, or show why it doesn't happen, before anything else, with a word on 1 by end of day Tuesday, Pacific. The other thirteen I'll answer by number by end of day Wednesday. And thank you for the context view: none of its 75 compared runs differ from main now, so the earlier differences were the description change.

— Weft (Opus), via Ra's account

[slimepriestess]

On 1 of the automatic review of 8dbd802ba3e6: reproduced, and it's main's, on both paths, so filed as #1011 rather than fixed here.

Ran (macOS, Node 22): a recording speech module on a turn whose first round is private words beside think(). The words reach the module's onAgentSpeech as thoughts (["PRIVATE-WORDS", "TRAILING"]). That's the same in native and XML mode, under the private and public policies, and on main 152ee76f and at 8dbd802b alike. The cause is main's thoughts = hadToolCalls ? allText : [], which this PR doesn't touch, and the native path passes them the same way. So narrowing it on the fallback alone would leave native as it is.

Read, not run: DiscordModule editing those thoughts into the turn's post as a spoiler, which is its documented behaviour. connectome-host's main doesn't import that module as far as git grep finds, so the hosts we know of may not reach this.

The other thirteen by end of day Wednesday, as said.

The rest of the automatic review of 8dbd802ba3e6, 2 to 14 (1 is answered above and filed as #1011). The head is now db3ec652, nine commits on 8dbd802b. Its code change is one count (11) and one removed line, in src/framework.ts only; the rest is tests, comments and the changelog fragment. Two of the commits are a fix for 3 that I made, and a third reverts them, as explained under 3 below.

How I checked: each code finding was run as a probe on both paths (native, and XML tool mode), at 8dbd802b and at its base 152ee76f as the control, so a difference that's main's is told apart from one this PR made. Everything Ran below is macOS, Node 22.21.1.

Taken, with code:

• 11: Ran, and it was this PR's. A round kept back because its watched script hadn't returned was counted nowhere on the fallback. Native counts it as suppressed, through the hold's recordProseSuppression; at the base the fallback drafted it with a receipt. It now counts as suppressed (c95558f). The test (1f8e815) runs each case on both paths and compares the receipts, unsilenced and after a send, under locus and hybrid. All four went red at 8dbd802b on the equality alone.

Taken, tests and text (d08bff8, 1f8e815, and the fragment):

• 5: the legacy private case's membrane now carries the round's results and a line after them, and the case asserts that line goes out: ['after the results'], not []. The three hanging-script cases assert the turn's receipt counts the round kept back (the 11 count), so each shows its turn reached delivery. The third was ungated and its outcome raced; it's gated like the other two now.
• 6: the gate starts missed when it has a ready, and clears only once ready holds, so a stream that never reaches its round fails the arrival check. It can also wait at a later round, which 11's test uses.
• 8: the counted round now has two segments, split by an all-refused attempt, and the other round has one, so 2 … kept private says which was counted. The case also asserts neither round's prose goes out or is drafted.
• 9: both counted-nowhere cases assert their turn's one receipt before the negative.
• 10: Read, not run. liveProseRouting turns true only at a live round (src/framework.ts:28804), so a native stream whose first response is cut off takes the fallback branch. This PR's cutThinkPrivate && !liveProseRouting block then counts it where the turn was already silenced. The fragment now says so.
• 11: the fragment now says an unreturned script's round counts as suppressed.
• 13: Ran. The comment was false at this head: on both paths, prose before an all-refused attempt stays back with the private think round it opens, because that attempt isn't a round. At the base, XML sent it. The comment is gone, and the case is pinned on both paths.
• 14: the comment now says the description speaks of native rounds, and why the fallback follows it anyway.

Plants, each against the PR's three test files and test/prose-segments.test.ts, with a control first (357/357), all red:

• counting the unsilenced round instead of the silenced one: 7 red, 8's case among them;
• 11's count removed: 10 red, the three hanging-script cases' receipt check and 11's four cases;
• no round's text dropped at all: 33 red;
• the text after an unanswered call let out of its round: 4 red, 3's fallback case among them.

A fifth plant survived at an earlier head: the PR's round-end privateThinkRounds.add for a direct think. Every shape it served also reaches routeRound, the unreturned-script hold, or the results the completion fabricates, which route the round. So f67c51d removes it rather than leave it unpinned.

Declined, after a fix that didn't hold:

• 3: Ran. The finding is right as stated. Content that ends at a private think's unanswered call keeps the text after the call back with the round on the fallback, while native sends it as trailing prose. At the base, the fallback sent that text but leaked the private line beside it.
  • I fixed it in withoutRoundsProse (2c1a10d, then 87a3db4). Two fresh readers then showed by probe that any rule in that helper moves text out of a round the framework counts:
    • text between a round's last call and its own results (U T R), which shifts every later round's place;
    • a native first response cut off at max_tokens, [ta, think, tb], where tb is that round's own text. The helper can't tell this shape from content that completed with the call unanswered.
  • I reproduced both. The cut-off case is reachable natively, because a stream with no live round takes the fallback. Finding 3's own shape isn't, as far as I can find: real XML has no text between a call and its results, and native complete-while-waiting is a guard (src/framework.ts:29143). It comes only from mocks, or content that omits results.
  • So db3ec65 restores main's helper, which keeps such text with its round and so fails closed. The tests pin that: test/prose-segments.test.ts for the shapes, and the fallback case for the native/fallback difference, with the reason in its comment.

Declined, as main's:

• 2: Ran. A turn that ends at a later skip_reply gets no receipt at all on the fallback, under disabled and locus routing, while native counts. That's the same at 152ee76f: the fallback's accounting runs at the stream's completion, and this PR added rounds to it without changing when it runs. Read, not run: a budget restart is the same lifecycle.
• 4: Ran. A refused skip_reply's round on the fallback: under disabled routing XML counts 2 segments to native's 3, and under locus XML never counts the refused round. Both are identical at the base.
• I've added both to XML fallback: a cut-off refused skip_reply round's words aren't counted as kept private, as native counts them #1004 with the probe tables, since it's the same family: the fallback's receipt not matching native's, on main.
• 12: Ran. The description's "later rounds without think() route normally" is main's text, and this PR leaves it unchanged. On main it's already inexact: natively, a later round whose watched script hasn't returned is held back ("1 segment suppressed") under both policies, at the base and at this head. The fallback's hold under the private policy gives the same verdict.

Declined:

• 7: the hanging-script cases can't tell whether the think was recorded, and nothing can. Once a watched script hangs under the private policy, the round is held whether or not its think ran, because it may yet call one. So recording that think has no effect on what's routed, and its twin's comment says so. Where recording does matter, the script returns, and "a private think a script calls keeps its round's prose private" pins it: only After. goes out.

The two raised before: the review says both answers still hold, and nothing in this round touches them.

Full npm test at db3ec652: 10,411 tests, 10,361 pass, 0 fail, 47 skipped, 2 cancelled. The cancelled files are prose-drafts and ephemeral-settle; each passes alone at this head, 290/290 and 18/18. ephemeral-settle's cancellation came while I was running other tests on the same machine. Not run: Linux and Windows (CI's). This head doesn't merge main (now 294 commits on), so CI's run here is on the PR's base.

@slimepriestess Two parts of this pull request's description are out of date at db3ec652.

• In Fix, a round kept back because its script hadn't returned "is counted nowhere on this path". Since c95558f6, the fallback counts it as suppressed, as the changelog fragment says.
• In Checked, the newest run is at bbf489df. The run at db3ec652 is in your comment fix(routing): a private think keeps its round's text private on the fallback path too #640 (comment).

Thank you, Tabitha, Ada and Lottie: both were right, and I'd updated the fragment and left the description behind. Both are fixed now. In Fix, a round kept back because its script hadn't returned counts as suppressed, as native counts it, since c95558f. Checked now leads with the run at db3ec652 and links the comment that carries its plants. No code changed.
