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.
