Regression pins for _cap_context_snapshot marker overhead (fix landed on dev via tsk-kkxn6f)

What

This branch (tsk-nfivhi, a fix-forward from #2593 via tsk-ekc4ct's own _cap_context_snapshot fix) is now tests-only: the fold pass on 2026-09-06 replaced this branch's own inline marker-overhead fix with origin/dev's independently-landed, more complete implementation (_build_truncated_marker, byte-precise budgeting, required-field protection), keeping only this branch's two regression pins and its changelog line.

  • tests/test_restart_orchestrator_resume.py::TestCapContextSnapshot::test_many_long_keys_small_values_stays_under_limit -- 600 fields with long (57-char) keys and short values; asserts the capped snapshot still fits within _MAX_CONTEXT_SNAPSHOT_BYTES after _cap_context_snapshot() runs.
  • tests/test_restart_orchestrator_resume.py::TestCapContextSnapshot::test_many_short_keys_small_values_stays_under_limit -- 4000 fields with short keys and tiny values; same invariant, opposite shape (field-count-heavy rather than key-length-heavy).
  • changelog.d/tsk-nfivhi-cap-context-snapshot-marker-overhead.md -- updated to describe the tests added here rather than the code fix, since the code fix was superseded.

RED

Command: python -m pytest tests/test_restart_orchestrator_resume.py -q -k 'many_long_keys or many_short_keys'

Note: the dev commit that introduced _build_truncated_marker (26bd892ff) and its follow-up (ce401063f) both already pass these two pins on their own parent commits -- the older two-pass drop loop that predates _build_truncated_marker happens to already satisfy the weak "stays under the byte cap" check these pins make, just imprecisely (chopping one field at a time until it fits, rather than budgeting the marker up front). The real pre-fix baseline for these specific pins is this branch's own history: the commit immediately before this branch's own fix.

Parent sha: aaba682f7c7164e118ef502df6d2dbc65d9c80f1 (fix(restart): drop largest fields to cap context_snapshot instead of slicing serialization)

Note: aaba682f7 is this branch's own first-cut implementation and was never on dev. On dev's lineage both pins pass at every commit, including before tsk-kkxn6f's _build_truncated_marker landed (checked at 9cd33e20d and efeaf61c1), because the two-pass drop loop already keeps under the cap. The pins therefore guard dev's current drop-fields loop against the marker-budget overflow class that the first-cut implementation exhibited; they do not indicate dev was ever broken.

…slicing serialization

_cap_context_snapshot() previously sliced the JSON-encoded snapshot to the
byte limit and reparsed the slice, which is almost never valid JSON, so every
oversized snapshot collapsed to a bare _truncated marker with zero fields
preserved. The fix drops fields largest-first until the serialized form fits,
preserving valid JSON and smaller keys such as agent_id, and records dropped
fields in a _dropped list. Tests now assert required keys survive and the
result is valid JSON, not just size. Docs updated to describe the new behavior.
_account for _truncated/_dropped overhead in the capping loop instead of
adding them afterwards, and replace the unbounded _dropped list with a
bounded count so the recovery loop makes net progress on many-small-fields
snapshots.

- reserve marker_overhead in the first loop so the final serialized form
  fits within _MAX_CONTEXT_SNAPSHOT_BYTES by construction
- change _dropped from a list of key names to an integer count, preventing
  it from consuming the budget it reports on
- change the recovery loop guard from len(snapshot_copy) > 1 to > 2 so
  it stops when only the markers remain
- add two regression tests for the many-small-fields shape that previously
  returned over the cap with zero real fields preserved

Tests pass:
  uv run pytest tests/test_restart_orchestrator_resume.py -k CapContextSnapshot -q

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The restart orchestrator now limits resume context_snapshot values to 32,768 serialized bytes. It removes large fields, records _truncated and _dropped markers, applies the cap before initial and retry requests, and adds tests and documentation.

Tests cover small, empty, oversized, and many-field snapshots. Retry tests verify recapping before each request.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1fbab

Resume snapshots are now bounded before initial and retry requests, but snapshots containing reserved marker keys can lose data without accurate drop reporting, and one release note inaccurately describes the truncation behavior. These bounded issues should be corrected before release.

In `@changelog.d/tsk-kkxn6f-resume-context-snapshot-cap.md`:
- Line 3: Update the release note to describe _cap_context_snapshot() removing
complete top-level context_snapshot fields to enforce the size cap, rather than
claiming it retains a 32768-byte suffix; retain the _truncated marker and
overflow-prevention behavior.

In `@tinyagentos/restart_orchestrator.py`:
- Around line 296-297: Update the oversized-snapshot handling before
constructing fields so existing _truncated and _dropped data keys are either
removed and included in dropped_count or explicitly rejected, preventing marker
assignments from silently overwriting user data; preserve accurate dropped-count
reporting and add a regression test covering both reserved keys.

WARNING

File Line Issue
tinyagentos/restart_orchestrator.py 299 Recovery loop is unreachable dead code: the marker_overhead reservation in the first loop guarantees the post-marker encoded size is <= limit - 1, so len(encoded) > limit is always false. The > 2 guard change and loop body are dead, contradicting the PR description's claim that the recovery loop makes net progress on many-small-fields snapshots (the first loop alone handles that case, as the new regression tests confirm).

SUGGESTION

File Line Issue
tinyagentos/restart_orchestrator.py 296 Reserved marker keys (_truncated, _dropped) are written without a collision check and are also eligible for deletion in the first drop loop, so a user-supplied key by either name is silently lost. Consider namespacing (__cap_truncated__ / __cap_dropped__) or guarding the assignments.
tests/test_restart_orchestrator_resume.py 177 assert "_dropped" in capped does not enforce the int contract; add isinstance(capped["_dropped"], int) and >= 1 to lock in the count shape and prove a field was actually dropped.

Conflicts in tinyagentos/restart_orchestrator.py (_cap_non_object_snapshot +
_build_truncated_marker), docs/agent-coordination.md, and the tsk-ekc4ct
changelog fragment: this branch's own fix-forward (reserve marker_overhead
in the drop loop, switch _dropped to a bounded count, tighten the safety-net
loop guard) and dev's independently-landed fix (tsk-kkxn6f: byte-precise
_build_truncated_marker with a held-back reserve, required-field protection,
and non-object snapshot handling) attack the exact same defect in the same
function. dev's fix fully subsumes this branch's intent with a more complete
implementation, so it was kept; this branch's own inline rewrite of
_cap_non_object_snapshot was dropped in its favor. This branch's two added
regression tests (many-long-keys / many-short-keys snapshots staying under
the byte cap) are additive and were kept, along with a shadowed duplicate
test this branch's own history had left in tests/test_restart_orchestrator_resume.py
(a same-named test asserting the old bool+_dropped-count marker contract,
already dead code under Python's name shadowing and incompatible with the
adopted implementation) removed.

Fold pass 2026-09-06

Merged origin/dev into this branch (407 commits behind). Real conflict: this PR's own fix-forward for the "_truncated/_dropped added after deciding the payload fits" defect in _cap_context_snapshot() and origin/dev's independently-landed fix for the exact same defect (tsk-kkxn6f, already merged separately) both rewrote _cap_non_object_snapshot / the truncation-marker logic. dev's version is a strictly more complete fix -- byte-precise budget via _build_truncated_marker(), required-field protection, and handling for non-object snapshots that neither branch handled before -- so it was kept in place of this PR's own inline rewrite. This PR's two added regression tests (many-long-keys / many-short-keys snapshots staying under the byte cap) are genuinely additive and were kept. A shadowed duplicate test left over from the merge (a same-named test_oversized_snapshot_keeps_required_fields asserting the old bool+int _dropped marker contract, dead code under Python's class-body name shadowing) was removed along with the implementation it tested.

Ran tests/test_restart_orchestrator.py + tests/test_restart_orchestrator_resume.py: 59 passed.

Findings: all 5 undisposed threads (4 kilo-code-bot, 1 coderabbitai) were about the specific inline implementation this fold pass replaced with dev's version, or (for the changelog wording finding) a changelog line whose current text already says what the finding asked for. All marked outdated by GitHub already; resolved with a reply pointing at what replaced the code, per thread.
