feat: retry malformed JSON with minimal context#24
Merged
Conversation
…turn When the LLM returns unparseable JSON, retry with just the current page state + correction hint (~7K tokens) instead of accepting wait(1000) and re-sending full history (~25K tokens) on the next turn. If retry succeeds: use the corrected response, no turn wasted. If retry fails: fall back to existing wait(1000) behavior.

Summary
wait(1000)behavior — zero regression riskContext
SportingNews benchmark case lost 2 turns (~50K tokens) to malformed JSON responses.
Each wasted turn re-sends the full conversation history at 25K+ tokens for no progress.
This retry catches the failure inline with a cheap minimal-context call.
