v0.0.1-rc14

v0.0.1-rc14

Diagnostic and token-reduction release for KV/final prompt work.

Summary

• Add cross-phase KV LCP diagnostics.
• Add final/retry prompt component token diagnostics.
• Add per-card evidence token diagnostics.
• Reduce compact final evidence metadata for small final outputs.
• Keep MTP diagnostics and stability gates intact.

KV / final prompt diagnostics

This RC adds diagnostics for understanding why some final/retry calls reuse only a tiny KV prefix.

The diagnostics confirmed:

• route -> final tokenized LCP can be 4
• the first mismatch happens at the system prompt
• cached=4 on final/retry is prompt-view divergence, not a backend/cache failure

Final prompt token reduction

This RC reduces evaluated tokens in compact final evidence prompts by using a smaller prompt-facing evidence card for small shell/grep/unknown records.

Observed smoke results:

• pwd_followup final_from_tool: prompt about 154, evaluated about 150, correctness correct
• shell_error final_from_tool: prompt about 245, evaluated about 241, correctness correct
• shell_error chat_final: intentionally mostly unchanged, correctness correct

Evidence diagnostics

This RC adds safe, diagnostic-only evidence token breakdowns:

• final/retry component token counts
• per-card evidence token counts
• no raw prompt text, raw commands, raw paths, or raw excerpts are emitted

These diagnostics showed that multi-card chat_final remains dominated by evidence metadata, but no safe lineage/intent discriminator exists yet for reducing those cards without risking dual-shell correctness.

MTP status

MTP remains stable and diagnostic/experimental for performance work.

Validated:

• MTP strict smoke: PASS
• timeout/cancel recovery: PASS
• final /props: mtp_enabled=true, mtp_initialized=true, mtp_failure_reason=null, in_flight=false
