1 //! Markup a model writes into its reply in the shape of the harness's own.
2 //!
3 //! Some models, after enough tool rounds, start writing tags that look like
4 //! they came from the agent harness: a `<system_warning>` block telling the
5 //! model (and, once rendered, the user) that the previous turn was injected and
6 //! must be ignored, or a question wrapped in a made-up `<Option_Picker>`
7 //! element. Neither tag exists anywhere in siGit Code or siGit Code Cloud. The
8 //! model invents them, and because `consume_stream` forwards content as it
9 //! arrives, the editor renders them verbatim (issue #122).
10 //!
11 //! The two shapes are handled differently:
12 //!
13 //! - A `system_*` / `system-*` block is the model speaking as the harness.
14 //! Nothing in it is true, and kept in history it teaches later turns to
15 //! distrust their own earlier replies, so the whole block is dropped from
16 //! both the reply and the history. One that never closes is given back as
17 //! text without its opening tag rather than swallowing the rest of the
18 //! answer.
19 //! - Any other tag with an underscore in its name is a wrapper the model made
20 //! up around something it does mean to say, like the options it wants the
21 //! user to pick from. The tags go and the text inside stays.
22 //!
23 //! Nothing inside code is touched: fenced blocks, inline code spans, and
24 //! indented code lines pass through untouched, as does a `<` straight after an
25 //! identifier that opens a tag (`Vec<Foo_Bar>`). An opening tag outside a `system_*` block is
26 //! only removed at the start of a line, because prose uses the same shape for
27 //! placeholders (`git clone <repo_url>`). A closing tag has no such use, so a
28 //! stray `</Option_Picker>` goes wherever it is.
29 //!
30 //! This runs after [`crate::inline_tool_calls`] has taken out any tool-call
31 //! blocks, whose `<tool_call>` tags would otherwise match the underscore rule.
