feat(agent): stronger ask_user steering + launch log#30
Merged
Conversation
Rewrite DefaultBaseSystemPrompt to explain the mechanism — a plain-text question ends the run and returns no answer, so ask_user is the only real channel — and make it imperative (never end a turn with a prose question, even for a single missing detail). Add an Info log at Pi launch recording whether a system prompt was applied, to verify wiring from server logs.

Follow-up: make agents actually use ask_user
Builds on #29. After verifying the full pipeline live (code deployed, @mentions route through Pi,
--set-envforwards the prompt, Pi accepts--append-system-prompt,ask_userregistered) the remaining gap was behavioral: the model answered clarifying questions in prose instead of callingask_user.Changes
DefaultBaseSystemPrompt— rewritten to explain the mechanism: in Deuce a plain-text question is a dead end (the run ends, no answer returns), soask_useris the only real channel. Imperative wording: never end a turn with a prose question, even for a single missing detail like a filename.systemPromptApplied,systemPromptLen), so the wiring is verifiable from server logs.Notes
