fix(agent): todo argument errors no longer kill the turn; tools-in-prompt grounding fixed for native dialect - #6443

…rness errors
Bad arguments sent by the model, such as the retired `{"cards": …}` shape, were causing fatal harness errors that killed the entire run. This change wraps the tool dispatch so that any argument parsing failure returns a tool error the model can correct, rather than propagating as an `Err` that terminates execution. The `parse_items` helper is extracted to keep the logic testable, and the test suite is updated to verify that all forms of bad input produce recoverable tool errors.

Added a new guideline to the AGENTS.md file that clarifies where changes should be placed, emphasizing that modifications should go in the repository that owns the component rather than where it is easiest to land. This rule helps maintain clear ownership boundaries and prevents workarounds from accumulating in the host repository when the proper fix belongs upstream. Auto-committed-on: macbook

The host-side todo tool and ops module are simplified to delegate all list management, validation, and rendering to TinyAgents' `session_list` module. The ops module now only maps a scope onto a store key, while the tool adapter wraps the TinyAgents tool and passes the process-wide store. This removes duplicated parsing, serialization, and status mapping logic, reducing the risk of shape errors causing fatal dispatch failures. Auto-committed-on: macbook
…tion Removes the `normalize_timestamp_for_wire` and `normalize_cards_for_wire` functions from the todos types module, along with their `chrono` dependency, as they are no longer needed. Also drops a stale assertion in the test that checked for a session ID that is no longer guaranteed. Auto-committed-on: macbook
The test module now imports the `json!` macro from `serde_json` alongside the existing `Value` import, enabling test code to construct JSON literals more concisely. Auto-committed-on: macbook
The test file was missing an import for `TaskBoardCard` and `TaskCardStatus` from the todos ops module, which caused compilation errors when these types were referenced in test code. Adding the import resolves the build failure. Auto-committed-on: macbook
Updated the grounding section across all prompt sources to clarify that tools are those given for the current turn rather than those listed in the prompt, and added guidance to check the tool list before claiming a capability is missing. This prevents agents from incorrectly refusing tasks when tools are provided dynamically at runtime rather than being hardcoded in the prompt text. Auto-committed-on: macbook
…native dialect The test for evidence-aware synthesis now verifies that the prompt does not tell a model its tools are "listed in this prompt", which caused the model to ignore `web_search_tool` when it was present in its actual tool list. New assertions confirm the prompt instead references the tools by name and clarifies the scope of web delegation. Auto-committed-on: macbook
Update the prompt-budget limits for all agents after a recent prompt change, and adjust the orchestrator's scope-gate test assertion to match the new wording that now includes public-web resources in the delegation exclusion list. Auto-committed-on: macbook

Upstream tinyhumansai#6443 landed the same host-side todo cleanup from the other side: it made the tool a thin adapter over TinyAgents' `session_list`. This branch deleted `session_list` upstream (tinyhumansai/tinyagents#193 folded its whole-list surface into `todos::TodoTool`, so the two no longer collide on the name `todo`), so the resolution keeps tinyhumansai#6443's architecture — the host owns scope, TinyAgents owns schema, validation and the write — pointed at the surviving crate tool. - `agent/todos/{ops,types}.rs`: tinyhumansai#6443's shape over `todos::store`, with the crate's `TodosSnapshot` and `TodoItem` instead of the board card. - `agent/tools/todo.rs`: tinyhumansai#6443's thin adapter and its dispatch `Err` → `ToolResult::error` mapping, over `todos::TodoTool`. The scope key reaches the crate tool as a `ToolRunContext` thread id, the only key-explicit door the crate still has now that `session_list::call` is gone. - `agent/tools/todo_tests.rs`: tinyhumansai#6443's tests, including the bad-input table, adapted to the crate's types and payload. Two assertions that pinned another repo's wording are loosened to the behaviour they meant. - `vendor/tinyagents`: upstream main pinned 3c9ba00c, a commit on the retired `session-todo-list` line that is not on tinyagents main and edits the deleted `session_list.rs`. Repinned to tinyagents main (c823d21c). Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>

Why
Two chat sessions on the merged #6436 build went wrong:
todofailed the whole turn. The model sent the retired{"cards": …}shape; the host-sideTodoToolDispatchreturned that asErr, and a dispatchErris fatal to a run in the harness ("canonical execution errors remain fatal"). The turn ended withhosted agent invocation failedand the todos were lost. tinyagents' own tool already answers argument errors as tool errors; the OpenHuman copy did not.web_search_toolandweb_fetchin the advertised set. The globalGROUNDING_BODYand the orchestrator prompt both said "Your tools are exactly the ones listed in this prompt". Under the native dialect nothing is listed in the prompt (the catalogue only renders for text dialects), so the model concluded it had none, then routed a public GitHub repo read throughdelegate_to_integrations_agent(3 sub-runs, 204 s, 136 chars back) instead ofweb_fetch/research.What changed
AGENTS.md(CLAUDE.mdsymlinks to it): tool/parsing changes go to tinytools, harness/generic tools to tinyagents, OpenHuman keeps adapters; upstream PR first, then the gitlink.todois now TinyAgents'todos::session_list::SessionTodoTool(feat(graph): session todo list tool (Claude/Codex shape) beside the task board tinyagents#191): Claude/Codex shape, whole-list write, every argument problem aToolResult::error. OpenHuman keeps only the scope adapter (agent/tools/todo.rs: which agent session the list belongs to) and the dispatch, which also converts any residualErr.agent/todos/ops.rsshrinks to scope → store key. Regression test pinscards, non-array, empty content, unknown status as tool errors.prompts/sections.rs::GROUNDING_BODY, orchestratorprompt.md): "the ones you have been given for this turn, whether they arrive as a tool list or are described in this prompt …web_search_toolandweb_fetchare usually in it". Rule 2 now says anything public on the web (a public repo, a product page, docs) isweb_fetch/web_search_tool/researchwork; toolkits are for the user's own account data.
