The tenant CHECK has admitted 'regeneration_fenced' since 20260827040000 (re-declared by 20260830020000) and the open-world runner writes it, but the wire Literal never gained it. Reading a fenced job back therefore raised ValidationError in _row_to_playbook_optimization_job. That failure did not surface as a validation error either: handle_exceptions converts it to StorageError, and the runner's `except StorageError` arm reports 'infrastructure_failure' -- so a refusal the regeneration fence made deliberately was recorded, and captured to Sentry, under the name of a fault that never occurred. Classify it as reachable rather than retained: it has a named writer in reflexio_ext open_world/runner.py::_converge_terminal_failure, and the tenant stage-advance RPC assigns it on the 'failed' arm. The reachability pin therefore becomes 18 = 11 reachable + 7 retained; the retained set is unchanged. The union-vs-CHECK set equality is asserted in the enterprise tree, where supabase/ actually exists -- an OSS test cannot read it in a standalone checkout.
The OSS/enterprise boundary guard forbids vendor-specific references in the OSS package, and this docstring named Sentry. The behaviour it describes is unchanged; only the wording is.
…on_reason The GEPA optimizer's failure path wrote `str(exc)` into `playbook_optimization_jobs.decision_reason`. That column is durable, is `TEXT NOT NULL` in both the SQLite and tenant Postgres schemas, is read straight back into `PlaybookOptimizationJob`, and is shown to operators -- and an arbitrary exception message can carry customer content. A pydantic `ValidationError` raised on a provider response renders the model's own output (itself derived from evidence text) into its message; that was confirmed on a sibling analysis path. Every other writer of this column already uses a fixed phrase, so the column is a de facto controlled vocabulary and this site was the outlier. It now writes one too. Nothing diagnostic is lost: the `error_tags` block immediately above already binds `error_type=type(exc).__name__` and `logger.exception` records the traceback, which is where an unbounded signal belongs. The exception CLASS name is deliberately not added to the column either. It is not customer content, but it would widen an operator-facing fixed vocabulary into a semi-open one keyed on third-party exception types, and it is already captured in the tags. This follows the precedent set by the open-world terminal-failure diagnostic, which records class names under a reserved metadata key while leaving the persisted reason vocabulary fixed. Tests: - a behavioural test raises an exception whose message carries a distinctive sentinel and asserts the sentinel reaches neither `decision_reason` nor `metadata_json`. Restoring `str(exc)`, and an f-string variant of it, both turn it red. - an AST guard asserts every `decision_reason=` passed by a service-layer writer is a fixed string (or a conditional of fixed strings), so a new writer interpolating a value fails the build rather than leaking quietly. It carries a non-vacuity test that fails if the scan stops finding the known writers. It found a real false-positive class on its first run -- the storage layer's row-to-entity hydration -- which is now excluded and documented. The optimizer test harness gained `org_id` on its fake request context: the exception path had never been exercised, so the missing attribute had gone unnoticed.
…rmat MiniMax ignores response_format through litellm. Measured against the live API: two identical calls differing only in drop_params both returned free prose rather than JSON, so the schema is discarded however it is sent. The visible symptom was an analyst inventing a DIFFERENT set of field names on every run - answering from the prompt alone, having never been given a schema. With the schema in the prompt the same model returns exact conforming JSON. Also normalize the schema in the prompt path before asserting provider safety, mirroring the native json_schema path. Without that fold a discriminated union would trip assert_provider_safe_schema and raise, so a prompt-only provider could never carry one at all.
Splits one case out of `infrastructure_failure`: an open-world tuning attempt that made NO provider call, because every durable row identity its discovery question could occupy is already owned by a different optimization job. The two were previously the same value, and that is what hid the defect they describe. `offline_tuner_open_world_invocations` is keyed by `analyst_input_identity` alone, derived without `job_id`, and attempt identity is quantized to the UTC day -- so when a job died on the provider it left a `prepared` row that pinned the question for the rest of that day, and every later attempt died at prepare while reporting the same reason the original provider fault reported. Distinguishing them required reading the invocations table by hand. Paired with the enterprise change that makes the collision recoverable (`attempt_invocation_identity`), so this outcome is now the residue -- every attempt identity owned -- rather than the common case. The enterprise tenant CHECK is widened in the same change (`supabase/data/tenant/20260903010000_open_world_invocation_slot_pinned.sql`), and `test_the_enterprise_tree_agrees_with_the_contracted_oss_vocabulary` asserts set equality between this Literal and that CHECK, so the two cannot drift.
510e492 added the 19th member of `OptimizationTerminalOutcome` but left this guard asserting 18, so `test_the_union_is_exactly_the_reachable_set_plus_the _retained_set` failed on the set-difference assertion with the new member extra in the left set. That is the guard working as designed: its module docstring says a member added to the union without a writer "lands in the reachable half and fails the second test, which is the prompt to show that the new outcome can actually be written." This answers the prompt. The writer is real and named. `reflexio_ext open_world/runner.py:262-264` calls `_converge_terminal_failure` with it from the `OpenWorldInvocationSlotExhaustedError` arm -- ordered before its parent `OpenWorldInvocationConflictError`, which would otherwise swallow it. The tenant stage-advance RPC's 'failed' arm assigns it (20260903010000:129-131); the 'abstained' arm deliberately does not, because nothing was judged and there is no decision artifact to write. It is placed next to `regeneration_fenced` because the two are siblings: both are open-world outcomes absent from the SQLite allowlist, so both must be named here rather than left to the `writable <=` assertion to cover. SQLITE AND THE OPTIMIZER MAP ARE CORRECTLY UNTOUCHED. The rationale recorded for `regeneration_fenced` -- "SQLite carries no open-world fence" -- holds a fortiori here: `grep` for `open_world_invocation`, `analyst_input_identity` and `SlotExhausted` across `sqlite_storage/` returns nothing at all, so there is no invocation table in which a slot could be pinned and no path that could write the value. Both SQLite CHECKs (`_base.py:2292`, `:3537`) carry the same 17 values and omit `regeneration_fenced` and `invocation_slot_pinned` alike, which is the consistent state, not a gap. MUTATION EVIDENCE. Removing `"invocation_slot_pinned"` from the Literal while keeping this change turns the guard red at the `members >= _REACHABLE` assertion (1 failed, 2 passed), with the member reported extra in the right set. The mutation was confirmed present in the file before running -- zero grep hits, changed sha256, live `get_args` count of 18 -- and the file was restored by rewrite from a backup copy and verified with `sha256sum -c` (OK), never with `git checkout --`. Verified: 3 passed in the guard, 546 passed across tests/models/, ruff check and format clean, pyright 0 errors.

What's here
fix(llm): carry the schema in the prompt for minimax, not response_formatThe largest change, and the one worth the most attention.
minimaxwas previously treated as a provider that accepts ajson_schemaresponse format which LiteLLM merely under-reports. Measured against the live API, it does not: two identical calls differing only indrop_paramsboth returned free prose, so theresponse_formatis discarded whatever we send.The visible symptom was an analyst inventing a different set of field names on every run — it was answering from the prompt alone, having never been given a schema. The fix moves the provider to a prompt-schema transport, so the schema travels as a system instruction. With the schema in the prompt the same model returns exact conforming JSON.
_JSON_SCHEMA_PROVIDER_ALLOWLISTis kept (now empty) for the next provider that genuinely fits the original shape: acceptsjson_schema, reported as unsupported.fix(playbook-optimizer): stop persisting raw exception text in decision_reasonRaw exception strings were being written into a field that is read as a controlled vocabulary. Adds a vocabulary guard test.
