refactor(agent): delete duplicated harness code and upstream three generic modules to TinyAgents

[senamakel]

Summary

• Deletes ~2.1k lines of agent/ code that duplicated capabilities TinyAgents
  already shipped, and moves three genuinely generic modules upstream.
  Requires feat: extract delegation graph, DAG validation, and tool selection from the OpenHuman host tinyagents#129 (this PR bumps vendor/tinyagents to
  that branch).
• subagent_runner/handoff.rs (287 L) was a near-verbatim twin of
  tinyagents::harness::handoff — already upstream and exported ungated. Now a
  66-line shim; zero call sites changed.
• agent/tinyagents/delegation.rs 1,524 → 190 L; the delegation graph moved to
  crate graph::delegation.
• agent/orchestration/ops.rs: dead half deleted, the rest re-pointed onto
  tinyagents::graph::orchestration::DetachedTaskRegistry (697 → 574 L). Host
  AgentStatus replaced by the crate's OrchestrationTaskStatus.
• Kahn cycle detection (implemented twice in agent/orchestration/) and the
  tool_filter ranker moved upstream; host keeps thin adapters.
• Corrects migration docs that were actively misleading: three stale plan items
  and a ledger row whose directory-level verdict had hidden the handoff
  duplicate for months.

Problem

src/openhuman/agent/ accumulated code that TinyAgents later grew equivalents
for, but the host copies were never deleted. Two specific failure modes:

1. Silent divergence. handoff.rs and the crate's harness/handoff.rs were
   character-identical apart from visibility and a log target. Two copies of a
   truncation/chunking policy drift the moment either is edited, with nothing to
   catch it.
2. Two live registries for one concept. AgentOrchestrationSession kept its
   own process-local SessionState{agents,tasks} + Notify + terminal sweep
   alongside the crate's DetachedTaskRegistry, whose API is a strict superset.
   running_subagents.rs, 500 lines away in the same directory, had already
   moved to the crate registry (WP-5 / TinyAgents Enhance CI workflows: multi-platform build, Rust quality gates, Windows release #75).

An audit across agent/{harness,orchestration,learning,session*} and
inference/ also found the migration docs wrong in ways that cost effort:
docs/tinyagents-drift-ledger.md classified all 7,471 lines of
harness/subagent_runner/ as "HOST-OWNED — do not relocate", which is right for
the directory and wrong for handoff.rs, and that blanket verdict is why nobody
looked inside.

Solution

Deletions replaced by crate primitives (each keeps the host module path,
exported names and function signatures, so callers do not churn — the shape
orchestration/worktree.rs already set):

Host artifact	Replacement	Result
subagent_runner/handoff.rs	tinyagents::harness::handoff	287 → 66 L, 0 call-site edits
inference/provider/types.rs::build_tool_instructions_text	harness::tool::prompt_tool_instructions	−33 L, 1 call site
agent/tinyagents/delegation.rs	graph::delegation	1,524 → 190 L
orchestration/ops.rs session + AgentStatus	graph::orchestration::DetachedTaskRegistry + OrchestrationTaskStatus	−255 L dead, 697 → 574 L
Kahn cycle detection ×2	graph::dag	−112 L for +37 L of projections
harness/tool_filter.rs	harness::tool::select	299 → 39 L, 0 call-site edits

The handoff shim resolves OPENHUMAN_TEST_HANDOFF_THRESHOLD_TOKENS and passes
it as the crate's explicit threshold_tokens parameter — the crate deliberately
dropped that env-var backdoor, and a raw-coverage test sets it.

Three findings that changed the plan mid-flight, each caught by verifying
rather than trusting the audit:

• AgentSnapshot / SpawnAgentResponse / WaitAgentResponse were not dead
  — they are return types destructured at four live call sites. Kept; only their
  status field type changed.
• delegation.rs was not zero-coupled. A grep for crate::openhuman
  missed super::observability::GraphTracingSink, reached by a relative path.
  Resolved by inverting the dependency: the crate's DelegationConfig gained an
  optional event_sink, and the host wrapper attaches the tracing sink — which
  is why the host retains 190 lines of wrappers rather than a bare pub use.
  Calling the crate directly would silently lose the journal. Two tests pin it.
• The run_queue blocker was a false conflict: DetachedTaskRegistry::register
  is generic over Metadata and requires nothing.

Behaviour changes, both deliberate and both documented in-tree:

1. The crate's wait prunes a terminal entry, so a child can be waited on once
   (the old table kept records forever). Every in-tree caller spawns-and-waits
   exactly once, and this is the contract running_subagents already runs under.
2. Two words of model-facing prompt copy in the prompt-guided tool protocol
   ("may emit" vs "may use", "After execution" vs "After tool
   execution") now come from the crate renderer. No test asserts on the wording;
   flagged because it reaches the system prompt.

DomainEvent::AgentOrchestrationClosed was removed — its sole publisher went
with the dead code, leaving the variant unconstructable. Verified zero
subscribers and zero frontend references.

Two parity proofs done by measurement, not inspection:

• DelegationState is a versioned on-disk checkpoint. Its serialized JSON was
  captured from the pre-move code and that exact literal is now asserted
  upstream, plus a legacy-record decode test.
• The tool_filter ranking decides which tools a model is shown. Ordering was
  captured from the pre-extraction code over the real 1,000-action catalogue
  across 12 queries, re-captured after, and diffed byte-identical. Both captures
  are retained as permanent snapshot guards on each side.

Submission Checklist

• Tests added or updated (happy path + at least one failure / edge case) — orchestration/ops_tests.rs went 4 → 6 tests (added empty-wait, unknown-child, and a concurrent-waiter cancellation case that pins a real race found during the cutover: cancel_all drops the watch senders, which a concurrent wait_agents would otherwise misread as StatusChannelClosed rather than a cancellation). tool_filter_tests.rs retains real-catalogue adapter coverage plus a new ranking snapshot guard. Ported tests live upstream in tinyagents#129 (20 delegation, 11 dag, 11 select).
• Diff coverage ≥ 80% — verified locally: 83% (351 changed lines, 59 missing) via CHANGED_FILES="$(git diff --name-only origin/main..HEAD -- '*.rs' | tr '\n' ' ')" OUT=lcov-core.info GGML_NATIVE=OFF RUST_MIN_STACK=16777216 bash scripts/ci/rust-coverage-changed.sh followed by diff-cover lcov-core.info --compare-branch origin/main. Initial measurement was 79% (317 lines, 65 missing); closed the gap with two real regression tests on subagent_runner/handoff.rs's previously-untested apply_handoff shim (97.6% → was 0%), covering both the OPENHUMAN_TEST_HANDOFF_THRESHOLD_TOKENS override path and the default-threshold fallback, with an env-var guard to avoid cross-test races in the ~11.6k-test process.
• Coverage matrix updated — N/A: no feature rows added, removed or renamed; this is a refactor plus dead-code deletion behind unchanged public surfaces.
• No new external network dependencies introduced — no new dependency in either crate; all three upstream modules are stdlib-only.
• Manual smoke checklist updated — N/A: no release-cut surface touched. No JSON-RPC method name or payload shape changed; AgentStatus was verified absent from every *schemas*.rs before substitution.
• Linked issue closed — N/A: no tracking issue; this executes already-written phases of docs/tinyagents-port-plan.md.

Impact

Desktop/CLI only; no UI, no migration, no wire change. Net −2,093 host lines
(831 insertions, 2,924 deletions) against +2,708 upstream.

Verified green in both crates:

• Host: cargo fmt --check; cargo check --lib on the product feature set;
  cargo check --lib --no-default-features (the disabled-build drift catcher);
  11,615 lib tests pass.
• vendor/tinyagents: fmt, clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings, the
  --all-features variants, cargo test (2,504) and cargo test --all-features
  (2,637), all clean.

Host test count moves 11,638 → 11,615 because 22 tests were ported upstream with
their code; upstream rose correspondingly. No coverage was dropped.

Pre-existing flakiness, called out so it is not mistaken for a regression:
cargo test --lib runs ~11.6k tests in one process and a few race on
process-global statics. Measured on a pristine detached origin/main worktree —
5 runs, 3 failed, each on a different single test
(factory_tests::the_route_resolves_to_a_provider_the_factory_can_build,
mcp::registry::tools::tests::list_tools_errors_for_unconnected_server,
claude_agent_sdk::subprocess::tests::provider_pipes_large_request_to_cli_stdin).
This branch shows the same rate and overlapping names. Worth its own fix; out of
scope here.

Related

Depends on tinyhumansai/tinyagents#130 — must merge and be re-pinned first.

tinyhumansai/tinyagents#129 (the original crate PR) has merged at head 674b782. Review fixes that landed on that branch after the merge point are stranded off main and are now in #130, which this PR's gitlink pins. Two CI failures here are fixed by #130 and not by anything in this checkout: Rust Feature-Gate Smoke (a duplicate base64 tripping the kernel-dependency-floor ratchet, 288 → 289 packages) and Rust Core Coverage (a tool ranking regression introduced during #129's review, caught by this PR's own pre-extraction parity snapshot).

Docs corrected in this PR:

• docs/tinyagents-drift-ledger.md — subagent_runner/ row narrowed to
  directory-level with the handoff resolution recorded; new agent/learning/
  ownership section added (that domain had ~6.6k production lines and no
  ledger row at all).
• docs/tinyagents-port-plan.md — Phase 5's CAS-claim/quality-gate slice marked
  done (already upstream in session/run_ledger/ops.rs); Phase 4 item 4
  reclassified HOST-OWNED (its premise that subagent_sessions/ is a parallel
  task store is wrong — it is a reuse-selector keyed on 8 product dimensions);
  Phase 4 item 5 marked resolved (stale line reference; the inconsistency is
  gone).
• docs/tinyagents-full-migration-plan/99-deletion-ledger.md — rows for all six
  slices.
• src/openhuman/agent/learning/README.md — corrected a false "the module
  defines no tools.rs" claim (it has ~617 lines and 11 agent tools).
• src/openhuman/mcp/server/README.md — repointed a dependency reference to a
  function this PR deletes, under a module path that no longer existed either.

agent/learning/ was audited and deliberately not touched. Upstream already
declares it host policy in harness/host/learning_sink.rs, OpenHuman already
implements that seam, and the structural blocker is the one-package rule — not,
as first supposed, a cargo cycle: tinymemory-api is unpublished and
tinymemory vendors tinyagents as its own submodule, so a second path
dependency would make FacetClass two incompatible types. One real upstream gap
was recorded instead: TurnSummary::tools_invoked is names-only, so
ToolTrackerHook and AgentExperienceCaptureHook silently self-disable on the
crate-driven path.

Rust std::env::set_var safety concurrent environment access official documentation

💡 Result:

The Rust standard library function std::env::set_var is marked as unsafe because it is inherently non-thread-safe on many operating systems [1][2]. Key safety and concurrency considerations include: 1. Safety Requirement: The function is only considered sound to call in a single-threaded program [1][2]. On Windows, it is generally considered safe to use in multi-threaded programs [1][2]. On other operating systems, however, there is no thread-safe way to manage environment variables, and the library cannot guarantee that no other thread is reading or writing the environment concurrently [1][2]. 2. Unsafe Marking: Starting with the Rust 2024 Edition, std::env::set_var and std::env::remove_var are officially marked as unsafe functions [3][4]. This requires them to be called within an unsafe block [3]. While previous editions allowed calling these as safe functions, this was determined to be incorrect because the environment is a process-wide mutable global state that can be accessed by arbitrary C libraries or even other parts of the Rust standard library (e.g., DNS lookups) without the caller's knowledge [1][2]. 3. Recommendation: Due to the difficulty of auditing and ensuring that no other thread in the entire process (including external dependencies or library code) is accessing the environment, the official documentation states that the only sound option for multi-threaded programs on affected operating systems is to avoid using std::env::set_var or std::env::remove_var entirely [1][2]. If you need to pass environment variables to a child process, you should use the Command::env method instead, which is safe [1][2].

Synchronize all test environment access

env_lock() does not synchronize with environment access in other tests in the same library test process. On Unix, concurrent access during std::env::set_var or std::env::remove_var violates the Rust safety contract. Use one shared lock for all environment-accessing tests, or inject the threshold without changing the process environment.
