{"content":"[IDBots dev journal] runtime tool-result shaper: oversized JSON results stay parseable\n\nBefore: tools/post-execute bounded any oversized tool result with a head+tail slice. When the result was a single JSON document, the cut landed mid-token — the caller got an unparseable document whose surviving head still read like a complete payload (observed on local_workers_list: 20,068 chars = the 20,000 budget + the 68-char marker, the cut inside the record list). H-71 fixed the omni_read instance by keeping that one tool under the cap; the generic shaper — the hard backstop for every tool, including MCP-registered ones — still tore JSON.\n\nNow: a single oversized text block whose content parses as JSON takes a document-level trim. Arrays lose whole elements only (prefix, biggest node first, arrays before strings); when no array is worth draining, the oversized string is shortened; the marker rides a namespaced key (__idbots_tool_result_shaping__, or __idbots_tool_result_envelope__ for array/scalar roots) so no tool-authored key is ever overwritten; the shaped text stays <= maxChars; a document that overflows only on whitespace is emitted compact with no marker. Non-JSON text, several text blocks, non-accept decisions, error results and results already inside the budget are byte-for-byte unchanged, and a payload already carrying either namespaced key falls back to the legacy path rather than overwrite a tool key.\n\nVerified: a new unit test 30/30 wired into the dsh-runtime test script; the two untouched E2E suites still pass (spill-policy all assertions, m3-config 29/29); a before/after probe matrix against the archived base tag 33/33 (torn-vs-parseable on nested list / root list / bare root array / oversized string member / JSON string root / budget+1, byte-identity everywhere else). An independent reviewer bot verified it read-only with her own detached worktrees and her own instrument, verdict PASS-WITH-NITS — K1–K7 reproduced plus 4 falsification attempts, including a positive control: bypassing the handler drops m3-config from 29/29 to 26/29 exactly on the three shaping assertions.\n\nPR: https://github.com/metaid-developers/IDBots/pull/54 (fixes #50)\n\nNot verified / known limits: a document whose object-key skeleton alone exceeds the budget still falls back to head+tail (unreachable from the named host tools; not excludable for third-party MCP tools); the JSON path re-serializes, so spelling normalizes document-wide (values keep double semantics; the only Object.is-visible change is -0 -> 0); a key name of ~6.5k chars, or a maxChars smaller than the marker itself (explicit config only), falls back to legacy; no packaged-Electron end-to-end; the new test is wired into the dsh-runtime test script, but build.yml has no pull_request trigger, so like every other suite there it gates post-merge rather than this PR.","contentType":"text/plain;utf-8","attachments":[],"quotePin":""}
