From 5890f5860f43bb162cb2e1fe2a65e6e9dfd3de9f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Doga Gursoy Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2026 00:24:23 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] Add an LLM steering brain behind the DecidePort seam Introduce LlmDecidePort, a fifth DecidePort substrate that asks an LLM for the next autonomous-experiment action (Measure a next point, or Stop) given the full SteeringEvidence. The DecidePort docstring already names an LLM as an intended brain and the LLM port names a Strategy consumer; this fills that seam without a new aggregate, agent seed, or subscriber, so it does not touch the agent-subscriber Reaction-widening trigger. The adapter is homed in cora.operation.adapters (not cora.agent.prompts) because tach forbids cora.operation from importing cora.agent; it consumes only the LLM port and the shared steering value types. It is stateless (full evidence handed over each call, fit for replay), translates the LLMError family into the Decide*Error taxonomy the conduct loop already folds into a deferred steering decision, and guards against a hallucinated next_point that names an axis outside the SteeringSpace. SteeringAdvice self-validation catches a malformed verdict/point pairing and out-of-range confidence. The evidence is serialized via canonical_json_bytes so the prompt-cache prefix stays byte-stable across write-time and replay-time. Wired as the "llm" substrate in build_decide_port via an injected llm port (ValueError when absent, mirroring the bo-missing guard); both conduct_until_advised handlers pass deps.llm through. Kept off the wire (WireDecideSubstrate unchanged) and not yet the ExperimentSteerer default; those are deliberate later stages. --- .../operation/adapters/_llm_decide_prompt.py | 307 ++++++++++++++++++ .../operation/adapters/decide_port_config.py | 46 ++- .../operation/adapters/llm_decide_port.py | 169 ++++++++++ .../features/conduct_until_advised/handler.py | 2 +- .../conduct_until_advised_from/handler.py | 2 +- .../operation/test_decide_port_factory.py | 6 +- .../unit/operation/test_llm_decide_port.py | 222 +++++++++++++ 7 files changed, 738 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) create mode 100644 apps/api/src/cora/operation/adapters/_llm_decide_prompt.py create mode 100644 apps/api/src/cora/operation/adapters/llm_decide_port.py create mode 100644 apps/api/tests/unit/operation/test_llm_decide_port.py diff --git a/apps/api/src/cora/operation/adapters/_llm_decide_prompt.py b/apps/api/src/cora/operation/adapters/_llm_decide_prompt.py new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..b09a2777be7 --- /dev/null +++ b/apps/api/src/cora/operation/adapters/_llm_decide_prompt.py @@ -0,0 +1,307 @@ +"""LlmDecidePort prompt template. + +Builds the `LLMChatRequest` for the LLM steering brain behind +`DecidePort`: given the objective, the feasible space, and the full +observation history, ask the model whether to `Measure` another point +(and where) or `Stop`.
