Found while live-QAing freestyle_planning on a 12B local model:
- list_dir tool: recursive, .gitignore-aware listing so weak models stop
flooding context with `ls -R` over node_modules/build/dist. Wired into
the fileRead toggle + advertised to the planner (architect_freestyle).
- ContextClassifier: assistantToolCall turns are STRUCTURED, so the token
pruner never shreds the model's own tool-call history — that was causing
amnesia loops (re-issuing calls it had already made).
- Retire instruction-doc LLMLingua pruning (DOC_SOURCE_TYPES emptied): it
fused load-bearing procedural text into unparseable soup. The static
block stays small by dropping CLAUDE.md at the loader instead.
- AgentInstructionsLoader: load only AGENTS.md, not CLAUDE.md — the latter
targets the outer assistant and polluted the agent's stage context.
- DefaultSessionReducer: WorkflowFailed flips session status to FAILED (was
stuck ACTIVE forever, so clients/approval loops never saw a terminal).
- ShellTool: run shell command lines (cd/&&/pipes) via `sh -c`; unrunnable
program is recoverable instead of an uncaught IOException killing the
stage; malformed argv (non-string/collapsed-array) rejected with guidance.
- llmlingua sidecar: cap force_tokens to max_force_token (big docs blew the
assert and 500'd, so doc pruning silently failed open).
Tests added/updated across all of the above.
