1// Downshift advice: tells the user when a task category runs on a model stronger than it seems to need.
2//
3// Learning (`learning.ts`) only climbs: it never starts an agent below the model the Agent call asked for, so a
4// category that always asks for opus and never gets stuck keeps paying opus prices. The mod cannot change that at
5// spawn without overriding an explicit choice; it can only tell the user, who decides. This module reads the learned
6// statistics and lists those categories, one suggestion each, one tier down. Pure: no engine calls, never throws.
7//
8// How to wire it (register.ts and stats-view.ts, not done here):
9//
10// - Input. The global table (store key `stats`) and the projects table (`parseProjects` of store key `projects`)
11//   with the session's `projectId`; options from the config: `minReviewScore`, `prices`, `learnByCost`,
12//   `verify` (a `verifyCommand` is set), `reworkWindowMinutes`, plus the lead's `baseline`, `now` (`clockNow($)`) and
13//   `halfLifeMs()`. The project cell of a tier is used when it has enough runs, the global one otherwise, exactly as
14//   `scopedStats` does for learning.
15// - `/escalator stats`. Append `formatAdvice(list, { respectExplicitModel, reviewRate }).text`,
16//   when not empty, as its own block after the learned stats and the review scores and before this session's
17//   savings per category (`'\n\n' + text`).
18// - Stats panel. A small section after "learned" built in stats-view.ts from the same list (one row per suggestion:
19//   category, `tier -> suggested`, runs, cost now and estimated; `strength` as dim text). The list must be part of
20//   the panel's redraw signature; computing it is cheap (one pass over the tables).
21// - Hint. Once per session, the first time the `/escalator` report is shown (optionally also as a `$.ui.log` line
22//   at session start; never a toast, it is not urgent). Read the store key `adviceHinted` (a table of
23//   `category|tier` -> ms), call `pickHint(list, hinted, now)`; when it returns a suggestion, add `hintLine(a)` to
24//   the report and write back `markHinted(hinted, a, now)`. Keep a `$.state` flag (literal key) so a module reload
25//   does not show it twice in the same session. `pickHint` skips what was shown in the last `repeatAfterMs`, so the
26//   same suggestion comes back at most weekly and only while the evidence still holds. Only `strong` suggestions
27//   become hints; `moderate` ones stay in `/escalator stats` and the panel.
28// - Modes. Show nothing in `off`; in `baseline` every agent runs on the reference model on purpose, so no hint.
29//
30// Quality. "Never got stuck" says the current tier finishes the work, not that a cheaper tier would do it as well,
31// and checks passed on the current tier only describe the current tier. So (`qualityFor`):
32// - `measured`: evidence from the cheaper tier's own runs of this category: at least `LEARN.minRuns` of them within
33//   `maxNotAcceptedRate`, with at least one active check on them: 3 or more senior reviews (their mean below the bar
34//   already dropped the suggestion), a `verifyCommand` for code, lead rework tracking for written files. Only measured
35//   suggestions are strong and can become the hint.
36// - `guarded`: no such evidence yet, but a check would catch a drop after the switch: the `verifyCommand` for code
37//   (`tests`), sampled reviews (`reviews`), lead rework for written files (`rework`).
38// - `unmeasured`: read-only work (`review`, `explore`: no diff to review, nothing to test or rework), or work of
39//   unknown kind or with no check at all.
40// Reviews and rework are tracked only on runs that start below the lead's model. Reviews on the current tier appear
41// in the text as context only. Guarded and unmeasured suggestions stay in `/escalator stats` and the panel, worded
42// so they do not vouch for the cheaper model.

48// Thresholds. All rates are over decayed counters, the same ones learning reads.
49//
50// - `minRuns` 8: more than learning's own `minRuns` (5), because a suggestion asks the user to act. With no failure
51//   in 8 runs the 95% upper bound of the failure rate is about 3/8 (rule of three), already under learning's 40%
52//   bar: the evidence alone shows the category is easy on this tier, not a lucky streak of 3 or 4 runs.
53// - `maxEscalationRate` 5%: "never gets stuck", with room for one escalation in 20 runs.
54// - `maxNotAcceptedRate` 10%: escalations, failed verifications, low reviews and rework together, one in 10 at most.
55//   A category that already needs fixing now and then on the stronger tier is a poor candidate for a weaker one.
56// - `cheaperMinRuns` 2 and `cheaperMaxNotAcceptedRate` 25%: the cheaper tier's own cell blocks the suggestion when
57//   it already failed this category in more than a quarter of at least 2 runs, or its reviews average below the bar.
58//   One failed run alone is noise; 2 of 3, or 1 of 2, is a warning. It is stricter than learning (40% over 5 runs),
59//   which also blocks: the suggestion is dropped whenever learning would raise the cheaper tier back.
60//   A cheaper tier with at least `LEARN.minRuns` runs within `maxNotAcceptedRate`, under an active check, has proven
61//   itself: the only case of a measured, strong suggestion, whatever the run count on the current tier.
62// - `maxLines` suggestions are listed, `repeatAfterMs` (7 days) between two hints for the same category and tier,
63//   `maxHinted` entries kept in the hint table.
64// - `minReviews` 3: reviews (decayed) a cell needs before their mean counts as a quality signal. One or two scores
65//   are an anecdote; three at or above `minReviewScore` with no failure in the runs are a pattern.

522//    ended escalated) or ended badly (failed verification, low review, rework), that the candidate acts on;
523// 3. closest to the options in force: over the swept options, the relative gap for a number (|a - b| / max(|b|, 1)),
524//    1 for any other change;
525// 4. fewest ladder interventions in all; then the order of the grid.
526// A row is marked when no other row is at least as good on both 1 and 2 and better on one (the trade-off front): the
527// top row only wins on false positives, so a marked row lower down may catch more for a little more noise.

357// `maxEscalationRate`. With a handful of runs (or old, decayed ones) the posterior is wide and the cheaper tier comes

1// Pure model of the agent network: the lead, its workers (subagents and in-process teammates) and the senior
2// that answers consults. No $ calls: it is fed by simple input records that mirror what the hooks already see,
3// and it returns a new immutable state each time. A later layout and an SVG renderer read this state; the
4// renderer is responsible for escaping every text field (nothing is escaped here, only length-capped).
5//
6// Wiring map (hook event -> input record):
7//   agent.spawn                      -> { type: 'spawn', agentId, label, model }
8//   tool.call (before the call)      -> { type: 'tool-start', agentId?, tool, summary? }   summary: path or command
9//   tool.call (result)               -> { type: 'tool-end', agentId?, tool }
10//   turn.step (result with usage)    -> { type: 'step', agentId?, model, cost }            cost: USD of that request
11//   ladder action taken              -> { type: 'ladder', agentId, action, toModel?, level?, score? }
12//   consult started / finished       -> { type: 'consult', agentId, phase: 'start' | 'end', model?, cost? }
13//   SendMessage / session.send       -> { type: 'message', from?, to?, text? }
14//   note appended to the lead        -> { type: 'notice', agentId }
15//   stall timer fired                -> { type: 'stall', agentId }
16//   human level / resume             -> { type: 'pause' | 'resume', agentId }
17//   turn.complete                    -> { type: 'complete', agentId? }
18// `agentId` absent means the main loop (the lead). Every record carries `at`, a millisecond timestamp.
