// RunnableAgent is the kernel's view of "a thing to run": an identity, a model
// tier, a system prompt, execution caps, and a tool palette. It is a plain DTO
// on purpose — the run kernel never imports a noun battery. The persona Agent
// and the saved Skill each LOWER themselves into a RunnableAgent (a ToRunnable
// method on the battery side), and the kernel runs the DTO. This is the
// inversion of mort's agentexec.Executor.Run(*agents.Agent): the executor no
// longer depends on the persona struct, only on this shape.
//
// A light host can build a RunnableAgent inline (model tier + prompt + a few
// tool names) for a one-shot bounded run, with no persona or skill battery at
// all — that is exactly gadfly's swarm task.
type RunnableAgent struct {
	// ID is a stable identifier for the run subject (an agent/skill UUID, or
	// any host-chosen id). Used for audit attribution and dispatch-guard
	// genealogy. Empty is allowed for anonymous one-shot runs.
	ID string

	// Name is a human label (audit/logs/delivery). Empty is allowed.
	Name string

	// SystemPrompt is the agent's base system prompt (before per-run
	// personalization, which a host layers via Ports).
	SystemPrompt string

	// ModelTier is a tier alias or concrete spec resolved through
	// model.ParseModelForContext. Empty resolves to the host's default tier.
	ModelTier string

	// MaxIterations caps the agent loop's tool-dispatch steps. 0 = kernel
	// default. MaxRuntime caps wall-clock for the whole run (the kernel starts
	// this clock AFTER any lane dequeue, not at submission). 0 = kernel
	// default.
	MaxIterations int
	MaxRuntime    time.Duration

	// LowLevelTools are tool-registry names the run may call directly.
	// SkillPalette / SubAgentPalette name saved skills / sub-agents exposed as
	// skill__<name> / agent__<name> delegation tools, resolved through
	// Ports.Palette (nil Palette => those entries are inert).
	LowLevelTools   []string
	SkillPalette    []string
	SubAgentPalette []string
	// SkillPacks names SKILL.md skill-pack subscriptions activated for the run
	// via Ports.SkillPacks: each pack's name+description joins a catalog folded
	// into the system prompt, and a skill_use tool loads a pack's body on demand
	// (progressive disclosure). nil Ports.SkillPacks => inert.
	SkillPacks []string

	// Phases optionally model a multi-step pipeline (each phase its own prompt
	// + tier + tools). An empty slice is a single-phase run — the common case.
	Phases []Phase

	// Critic configures the optional two-tier run-critic (Ports.Critic). The
	// zero value (disabled) is the light-host default.
	Critic CriticConfig

// Phase is one step of a multi-step run: its own system prompt, model tier,
// iteration cap, and tool subset. Phase prompts are Go text/template strings
// expanded against {{.Query}} (the original input) and {{.<PhaseName>}} (a
// prior phase's output) before the phase runs, so a phase can consume earlier
// work. The final phase's output is the run's output.

	// generated note) as its output, so a non-critical phase failing does not
	// abort the pipeline.
	Optional bool
	// FallbackMessage is the substitute output when an Optional phase fails.
	// Empty → a generated "(phase %q encountered an error…)" note.
	FallbackMessage string
	// IsRunFunc marks a phase as a single bare LLM call (no tool loop, no tools
	// array) — a deterministic transform step (plan/synthesize) rather than an
	// agentic loop. Its Tools/MaxIterations are ignored.
	IsRunFunc bool

// CriticConfig configures the optional run-critic. Enabled gates whether a
// critic monitor is started at all; BackstopMultiplier sets the hard-kill
// deadline as a multiple of the soft trigger (MaxRuntime). A non-positive
// multiplier uses the kernel default.
