Put Piggy on Prime Agent, and let it write to the book

Piggy was a hand-rolled OpenAI tool loop. It is now a Prime Agent session —
Prime Intellect's own harness, embedded as a Node library — answering from
PIG's tools and, for the first time, able to put information into the CRM
rather than only read it out.

The harness is a coding agent, so the first job was taking the coding agent
away from it. `noTools: 'all'` plus an explicit allowlist leaves the model
with PIG's ten `pig_*` tools and no bash, no filesystem, no IPython. That
holds under attack: a hostile extension, a skill and a settings file planted
in the agent's own directory, then `setActiveToolsByName` called with every
built-in, still leaves ten tools, all ours. Both lines are load-bearing —
`noTools` alone registers nothing, and the allowlist is what admits our own.

Writing is gated rather than assumed. A change is proposed, not made: the
tool returns a description, the transcript renders a diff card, and nothing
reaches the database until someone presses Apply. Contracts, commitments,
allocations and compliance always stop for a human whatever the mode. Every
write runs through `executeMutation` as the calling user, so their
capabilities and the audit trail apply exactly as they would to a human's.

Four things about the SDK are wrong in its own documentation and cost a
debugging cycle each: models.json does not resolve an env var name for
`apiKey`, it sends the literal string; there is no built-in prime-inference
provider in 0.84.1; a ResourceLoader you pass in is never reloaded for you;
and the stock system prompt is a coding-assistant prompt that must be
replaced — but replacing it also silently removes the tool list, because the
harness only renders that section when it owns the prompt. AGENTS.md records
all four.

The expensive one was thinking level. The harness defaults to `medium`, and
nemotron spent an entire 4,096-token budget reasoning and returned an empty
answer. `low` was worse; `off` omits the parameter so the endpoint's default
wins. An explicit `reasoning_effort: none` via `thinkingLevelMap` took a turn
from 6,195 output tokens to 149.

And a turn is now bounded. The harness loop is `while (true)` with no
iteration cap; a runaway on a frontier model would have eaten the credit it
is supposed to report on. Ceilings on model calls and tokens, enforced both
through the harness hook and independently from the event stream, plus a
per-user daily spend limit — and the ledger now records spend on turns that
fail, which it previously discarded.

Signing in lands on /piggy, which is a workspace: conversations down one
side, the agent in the middle, what it did and what it cost beside it.

+ * The approval rendezvous, end to end, against a real database.
+ *
+ * `test/chat-server.test.ts` proves the choreography — card raised, decision
+ * posted, single-use, deadlined, cancelled on abandonment — with a write tool
+ * that only pretends to write. `test/write-tools.test.ts` proves the write tools
+ * never open a transaction for a change nobody agreed to. Neither can prove the
+ * sentence the whole feature rests on, which is what a user reads on the card:
+ *
+ *     "Decline this and nothing changes."
+ *
+ * That is a claim about Postgres, made across two HTTP requests and a promise
+ * parked in the middle of a turn. So this suite wires the real chat server to the
+ * real `createPigWriteTools` against a real database, declines a real proposal
+ * over `/internal/approve`, and then goes and looks at the rows. The applied case
+ * runs the identical call to the same endpoint so that "untouched" means
+ * something: the same request, answered the other way, does move the deal.
+ *
+ * No inference is involved and no key is needed — the harness is a fake that
+ * drives the tool the way Prime Agent drives it, signal and all. What is real is
+ * everything PIG owns.

+- Utilisation is allocated hours over committed hours. Idle hours are committed hours nobody has bought — already paid for, and unsellable once the term ends.
+- Gross margin is revenue minus the FULL cost of the commitment, not the cost of the hours that sold. Never recompute it against sold hours alone: that hides the loss the idle hours have already incurred, which is the thing this system exists to show.
+- Break-even price is what the REMAINING unsold hours must fetch per GPU-hour to cover what is still uncovered on the block. It falls as the block sells, and it is the number a seller wants mid-term.
+- A break-even of 0 means the block is already in profit and any further sale is upside. A null break-even means the block is fully allocated, so there is nothing left to price.
+- Margin per GPU-hour is blended across the hours that sold. It is not the price of the next hour, and it is not a quote.

+/**
+ * PIG's own tools, in the shape Prime Agent wants.
+ *
+ * PIG declares a tool once, in `provider.ts`, as an `AgentTool`: a name, a
+ * description, a zod input schema and an `execute`. Every read tool in
+ * `chat-tools.ts`, `page-tools.ts` and `lifecycle-tools.ts` is built that way,
+ * and those declarations are the product — the ranking, the capping and the
+ * headline wording in each one were bought with real defects. The harness swap
+ * must not touch a line of them.
+ *
+ * So this file is a translation layer and deliberately nothing more. It takes
+ * an `AgentTool` and returns a `ToolDefinition`, and the payload the model sees
+ * coming back is byte-for-byte what the tool returns today.
+ *
+ * Three details are load-bearing and none of them is obvious:
+ *
+ *   1. `promptSnippet` is not decoration. `buildSystemPrompt` lists a custom
+ *      tool under "Available tools" ONLY when one is supplied — verified
+ *      against 0.84.1 — so a bridged tool without a snippet is registered,
+ *      callable, and invisible to the model that has to decide to call it.
+ *
+ *   2. The typebox schema is what the model is shown; the zod schema is what
+ *      actually guards `execute`. The harness passes tool arguments through
+ *      untouched — it never validates them against `parameters` — so dropping
+ *      the zod parse would hand unvalidated model output straight to a query.
+ *
+ *   3. The JSON Schema is emitted for the `jsonSchema7` target, NOT `openAi`.
+ *      The openAi target emits an optional parameter as required-and-nullable
+ *      and drops any `.describe()` attached to the optional wrapper, which is
+ *      why the existing tools are written `.describe(...).nullish()` rather
+ *      than `.optional()`. Those workarounds still parse correctly here; what
+ *      changes is that a genuinely optional parameter now reaches the model as
+ *      genuinely optional, with its sentence intact. `test/tool-bridge.test.ts`
+ *      pins that round trip, because it is invisible in TypeScript and the last
+ *      target change cost a release of silently undocumented parameters.

-- A demand deal sells hours out of those blocks. Each sale is an allocation against one commitment.
-- Utilisation is allocated hours over committed hours. Idle hours are committed hours nobody has bought — already paid for, and unsellable once the term ends.
-- Gross margin is revenue minus the FULL cost of the commitment, not the cost of the hours that sold. Never recompute it against sold hours alone: that hides the loss the idle hours have already incurred, which is the thing this system exists to show.
-- Break-even price is what the REMAINING unsold hours must fetch per GPU-hour to cover what is still uncovered on the block. It falls as the block sells, and it is the number a seller wants mid-term.
-- A break-even of 0 means the block is already in profit and any further sale is upside. A null break-even means the block is fully allocated, so there is nothing left to price.
-- Margin per GPU-hour is blended across the hours that sold. It is not the price of the next hour, and it is not a quote.
-- A commitment near expiry at low utilisation is the urgent case, however healthy the book looks in total.

+ * end it are the model declining to call another tool, an error, an abort, or

+ * call therefore keeps buying model calls until somebody stops it, and against
+ * a fixed credit that is the whole credit. `PIGGY_MAX_TURNS` below looks like
+ * this but is not: it belongs to the queue worker's own provider loop and never
+ * reaches the harness.
+ *

+ * every tool result so far, which is why the token ceiling is not simply the
+ * call ceiling multiplied by one call's cost.
+ *
+ * 8 model calls is roughly two and a half times the busiest turn measured, so a

+/**
+ * The reasoning trap, pinned.
+ *
+ * This is the one defect in the harness swap that cost real money and produced
+ * nothing at all. `createAgentSession` defaults `thinkingLevel` to `medium`,
+ * which is tuned for a coding agent; asked "what is our utilisation?", the
+ * default model spent 6,195 output tokens reasoning and returned an EMPTY
+ * answer with `finish_reason: length`. Reasoning bills as output, so the turn
+ * was billed in full for nothing. `low` was worse. The fix is two halves and
+ * BOTH are needed:
+ *
+ *   1. `PIGGY_AGENT_THINKING` defaults to `off` (apps/piggy/src/config.ts:71).
+ *   2. The default model carries a `thinkingLevelMap` mapping `off` to the
+ *      literal `"none"` (apps/piggy/src/agent/models.json:22-30).
+ *
+ * Half two is the half nobody would guess, and it is why this file exists. In
+ * `@earendil-works/pi-ai@0.84.1`, `streamSimple` turns a thinking level of
+ * `off` into `reasoningEffort: undefined`
+ * (dist/api/openai-completions.js:473-474), and the request builder then reads:
+ *
+ *     else if (!options?.reasoningEffort && model.reasoning && compat.supportsReasoningEffort) {
+ *         const offValue = model.thinkingLevelMap?.off;
+ *         if (typeof offValue === "string") { params.reasoning_effort = offValue; }
+ *     }
+ *                                        — dist/api/openai-completions.js:661-666
+ *
+ * So without a map, `off` OMITS `reasoning_effort` from the request entirely
+ * and the endpoint's own default — thinking ON, verbosely — wins. With the map,
+ * the request carries `reasoning_effort: "none"` and the same question answers
+ * in 149 output tokens. Nothing about the omission is visible in TypeScript, in
+ * the configuration, or in a passing test suite: the only symptom is a blank
+ * reply and a bill.
+ *
+ * The behaviour is per-model, so the assertions below are anchored to whichever
+ * model is the default rather than to nemotron by name. A future default that
+ * needs its own mapping fails here rather than in production.
