Summary

Fixes the vibe-check misjudgment chain (host rants 2026-08-19T07:05:03 / 07:06:45 / 07:10:40): a task that actually executed 44 tool calls was judged "empty" because the normal-completion done frame broadcast "content": "" — the agent's full final reply was persisted to the session but dropped from the done frame, so the scheduler's completion_summary was empty and the memoryless vibe-check LLM had no evidence → meaningful=false, empty done, machine fallback strings (cycle-...-complete, tools-executed=44) in the GUI, and spurious slowdown votes.

Changes

  1. Root cause — done frame content loss (emrg/server/daemon.py): the normal-completion done broadcast now carries "content": full_content or "" (the agent's complete final reply), matching the tool-call completion path. Cancel/error done frames stay empty. The scheduler's completion_summary now receives real content.
  2. Evidence-driven vibe-check prompt (emrg/server/prompts/vibe_check.j2, new): system + user extracted into a standalone Jinja2 template rendered via the existing _get_jinja_env() (FileSystemLoader — edits take effect without a daemon restart, same mechanism as system.j2). The prompt judges from the real inputs (task name, task requirement, agent's final reply summary): tool execution / analysis / memory writes are actual work; only a genuinely empty reply counts as idle. done must be extracted from the final reply.
  3. No machine fallbacks (host-finalized 07:06:45):
    • scheduler.py_record_evolution: removed the completion-first-line summary fallback — summary uses only the vibe check done field; empty stays empty.
    • scheduler.pystatus(): empty summary → None (no impact-tag join).
    • emrg/gui/renderer/js/dialogs.js: empty done renders "-" (no impact join).

Tests

  • tests/test_scheduler.py: updated to assert the no-fallback contract (empty summary stays empty when done is missing or vibe check is unavailable; status().last_cycle_summaryNone on empty summary).
  • emrg/gui/test/renderer.smoke.test.js: updated to assert "-" for runs without a summary.
  • Verified locally (pytest ban per host directive): syntax + import + Jinja2 template render + mocked-LLM vibe-check flow all pass. CI will run the full suite.

… template
Root cause (rant 2026-08-19T07:10:40): the normal-completion done frame
broadcast "content": "" — the agent's full final reply was persisted to
session but dropped from the done frame, so the scheduler's completion_summary
was empty and the memoryless vibe-check LLM judged meaningful=false with an
empty done, producing machine fallback strings in the GUI.
- daemon.py: done frame now carries full_content or "" (normal completion)
- _task_vibe_check: rewritten evidence-driven, rendered from new
prompts/vibe_check.j2 (same live-reload jinja2 mechanism as system.j2)
- scheduler: removed completion-first-line summary fallback; status() empty
summary -> None (no impact machine fallback)
- GUI dialogs.js: empty done shows "-" (no impact fallback)
- tests updated to assert the no-fallback contract

✅ LGTM — cycle

Re-verified from PR head (b4a997d):

  • done frame now carries full_content or "" on the normal-completion path (root cause of the empty completion_summary) — matches the tool-call completion path
  • _task_vibe_check rewritten evidence-driven, rendered from the new prompts/vibe_check.j2 (same FileSystemLoader live-reload as system.j2)
  • scheduler: completion-first-line fallback removed; status() empty summary → None
  • GUI dialogs.js: empty done renders "-"
  • CI: test + test-windows both PASS (run 32196407799)

✅ LGTM — cycle 2/3

Head unchanged (b4a997d), CI test + test-windows both still PASS. The done-frame content fix + evidence-driven vibe_check.j2 + fallback removal all verified. Two independent cycle votes now on record.
