1.0.2

[1.0.2] — 2026-07-20

Reliability tuning for long, budgeted tasks, plus one interactive papercut fix.

• Syntax gate no longer flags prose & data files. Plain-text deliverables — a
  .txt answer file, requirements.txt, markdown, CSV/TSV — were being run through a
  tree-sitter grammar (the language pack maps .txt → VIMDOC) and warned on, sometimes
  reverted, at exactly the write that produced the deliverable. The gate now polices
  code languages only; prose/data formats are skipped uniformly across warn, edit-revert,
  and write-reject.
• run-style tasks no longer bail with prose. System-state asks ("start the
  service", "boot the image", "install X") are completable with zero file edits, and
  used to fall through to the weakest completion path — a give-up in prose could ship
  nothing (qemu-startup did, with most of the wall unspent). They now get their own
  intent class that arms the anti-bail nudges, while still completing cleanly with zero
  edits (the no-empty-diff "done" gate only ever applied to edit tasks).
• Reasoning budget throttles instead of muting. Once a turn's cumulative
  reasoning-token budget is spent, chad now forces one no-think action step per ~3k
  further reasoning tokens (a duty cycle) rather than muting thinking for the rest of the
  turn — thinking is restored as soon as the model stops over-spending, avoiding the
  garbled tool-call tails a blanket mute produced.
• Wall-aware auto-continue. When most of a task's wall budget is still unspent, an
  exhausted turn is granted a fresh relaunch (bounded), instead of giving up after a
  fixed two attempts with the clock barely touched.
• Rejected "done" no longer poisons the relaunch. When a completion claim is
  rejected for landing no verified change, the carried-forward progress note now leads
  with a warning that the claim was rejected and drops any hypothesis that itself asserts
  completion — so a relaunch stops inheriting "already complete and verified" as fact and
  re-confirming it.
