- Add Manual QA Gate as a non-negotiable surface-tool mapping
(interactive_bash for TUI, playwright for browser, curl for HTTP,
driver script for library) to Hephaestus, Sisyphus-Junior, and
Sisyphus' direct-execution mode.
- Restore the dig-deeper trio (tool persistence / dig deeper /
dependency checks) as orthogonal paragraphs so each carries its
own cognitive trigger instead of a fused single statement.
- Harden investigate-before-acting from a soft phrase to a dedicated
block: never speculate about unread code, re-read on every
task hand-off, the worktree may have changed.
- Add 'Parallelize aggressively' as its own block. Reads, searches,
diagnostics, and background sub-agents all batch into a single
response by default.
- Add 'No defensive code, no speculative legacy' to discourage
speculative backward-compatibility branches and unrequested
defensive validation.
- Absorb review-intent and frontend anti-slop coverage so the
prompt stays self-sufficient when the omo agent prompt replaces
the provider prompt.
- Replace literal apply_patch instructions with GPT_APPLY_PATCH_GUIDANCE
(use edit/write tools) so the prompt no longer contradicts the
apply_patch deny that the agent permission applies on GPT models.
- Sisyphus-Junior gains a Review tasks block and a default-behavior
fallback for when the runtime category context is missing or sparse.
- Sisyphus gains an explicit Hard invariants block listing type-
suppression bans, destructive-git bans, and Oracle-completion gating.
- Restore dynamic injections that round out the orchestrator/worker
context: category+skills delegation guide, delegation table,
Oracle dynamic guidance, key triggers, non-Claude planner
reminder. Hephaestus regains optional category delegation while
keeping direct execution as the default.
- Drop em dashes; search guidance points at rg directly throughout.
- New src/agents/sisyphus/kimi-k2-6.ts based on gpt-5-4.ts 8-block architecture
- New src/agents/sisyphus-junior/kimi-k2-6.ts worker variant
- Preserves 4 pillars: intent gate + verbalization, parallel tools, verification
- Adds <re_entry_rule>: suppress re-verbalization for already-resolved turns
- Adds <exploration_budget>: hard stop conditions alongside aggressive parallelism
- Tiered <verification_loop> (V1/V2/V3): V3 keeps full rigor with harsh enforcement
- Adds <token_economy>: verbalization explicitly excluded from trim mandate
- isKimiK2Model in types.ts: matches kimi, k2p5/k2p6 variants (case-insensitive)
- Routing in sisyphus.ts + sisyphus-junior/agent.ts
- Tests: 3 new kimi routing cases in sisyphus-junior/index.test.ts (all pass)
Motivation: K2.x was post-trained with Toggle RL (~25-30% token reduction) and a
GRM scoring appropriate detail + intent inference. Reusing Claude-style prompts
double-taxes the model — external strictness on top of RL-learned strictness causes
over-deliberation on already-resolved requests. The re-entry rule and exploration
budget fix this without weakening verification rigor.

The base prompt is category-agnostic; the actual category context (deep,
quick, ultrabrain, writing) layers on top at runtime via the
promptAppend parameter resolved by resolvePromptAppend.
Distinctive elements:
- Closing '# Category context' section explicitly telling the agent
to read the appended block as overriding defaults on conflict
- Orchestrator-facing final-answer structure (What changed / Key
decisions / Verification / Observations / Blockers) instead of a
user-facing conversational close
- Sparse commentary cadence; the orchestrator synthesizes progress
for the user, so mid-task narration is mostly noise
getSisyphusJuniorPromptSource() checks gpt-5-5 before the gpt-5.4 /
gpt-5.3-codex path so the new prompt takes precedence for gpt-5.5
deployments.
Extract hardcoded GPT apply_patch permission logic into a reusable module
to ensure consistent behavior across all agents. This prevents GPT models
from using the unreliable apply_patch tool while allowing other models.
- Add gpt-apply-patch-guard.ts with GPT_APPLY_PATCH_GUIDANCE and getGptApplyPatchPermission
- Update Hephaestus agent to use centralized permission logic
- Update Sisyphus-Junior agent to use centralized permission logic
- Update all GPT prompt builders to reference shared guidance constant

GPT models (5.3-codex, 5.4, etc.) frequently hang when using apply_patch
due to verification loops. This adds:
1. Tool restriction: apply_patch is denied for GPT variants of
Hephaestus, Sisyphus-Junior, and Sisyphus agents
2. Prompt guidance: GPT-specific prompts now explicitly instruct using
edit/write tools instead of apply_patch
3. Removed the 'Always use apply_patch' instruction from
sisyphus-junior/gpt-5-4.ts that contradicted the fix
The deny is model-conditional — Claude variants retain apply_patch
access since it works reliably there.
GLM-5 has native reasoning built-in. Injecting thinking: {type: 'enabled'}
causes a param conflict (400 error). Add isGlmModel() check to return base
config without thinking/reasoningEffort for GLM models.
- Add isGlmModel() helper to types.ts
- Early return in createSisyphusJuniorAgentWithOverrides for GLM models
- Add tests for isGlmModel and GLM reasoning config behavior
Align runtime defaults, tests, docs, and generated artifacts with the newer GPT-5.4 baseline. Keep think-mode and prompt-routing expectations consistent after the model version bump.
Add 'gemini' to prompt source types and route Gemini models to new
Gemini-optimized prompts via isGeminiModel detection. Update barrel
exports for all 3 agent modules. All existing tests pass.

When task_system is enabled, the prompt said 'task tool: BLOCKED' which
LLMs interpreted as blocking task_create/task_update/task_list/task_get
too. Now the constraints section explicitly separates 'task (agent
delegation tool): BLOCKED' from 'task_create, task_update, ...: ALLOWED'
so Junior no longer refuses to use task management tools.
sisyphus-junior prompt always used todo-based discipline text regardless of
experimental.task_system setting because the useTaskSystem flag was never
forwarded from agent-config-handler to createSisyphusJuniorAgentWithOverrides.
