Start Stage fresh on each new user turn so the previous turn's routing decisions don't carry over.

In Composite's user_turn mode, each new user message clears the runtime capable_hold_turns, efficient_hold_turns, and stage_previous_tier values from state.extra and resets state.tool_signals. The configured hold durations stay unchanged, and new tool signals use only tool activity since that user message.

The built-in Responses tool role correction is in #1186. Merge that first so tool outputs are recognized as continuations.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • In composite routing with independent stage profiles, each new user message now resets the selected profile’s routing holds and starts evaluation at its initial tier.
    • Tool signals are now limited to the current user turn, preventing earlier tool results from affecting later routing decisions.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the composite-routing guide to explain how user-turn resets work and clarify that session-triggered routing retains state across the session.

Walkthrough

Composite routes now pass user-turn reset behavior to their stage routes. Enabled stage classifiers reset holds and prior-tier state at new user turns, and tool signals are limited to the current turn. Tests and routing documentation reflect the updated profile behavior.

Changes

Composite routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Current-turn tool signals
crates/libsy/src/algorithms/util/tool_signals.rs
Adds current-turn signal extraction from the latest user-turn message. Full-history extraction remains available, and a test checks that earlier tool results are excluded.
Stage reset and route wiring
crates/libsy/src/algorithms/util/stage.rs, crates/libsy/src/algorithms/stage.rs, crates/libsy/src/algorithms/composite.rs
Stage routes accept a reset-on-user-turn option. Enabled classifiers clear hold and prior-tier state on a new user turn. Optional LLM fallback stamps skip that turn; fall-open stamps remain eligible.
Profile behavior and documentation
crates/libsy/src/algorithms/composite.rs, crates/switchyard-runner/tests/composite_profiles.rs, docs/routing_algorithms/composite_routing.md
Composite profile tests cover hold resets and updated target and prompt selections. The runner test uses the new_session trigger. The documentation describes user-turn resets and current-turn signals.

Priority: Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to e8ed2

With user_turn composite routing, Responses built-in tool continuations can lose their holds and failure signals. Context-compaction escalation can also be dropped, and prior tool errors can leak across a mixed Anthropic boundary message. This produces wrong tier selection in agentic sessions, so these should be fixed before merge. Other routing modes are unaffected.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 36.36% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 11 functions across 5 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.
