Kjell Tore Guttormsen 5d8844fef5 fix(s7b): BudgetExceeded refuses instead of tracebacking, approaches land in exploration.json
Fiks-ordre 20260904T070930Z-8335015575-from-.claude. Two scoped defects the
S7b syretest observed and left unfixed (docs/2026-09-04-syretest-s7b-k2.md
§ 3.6):

1. `BudgetExceeded` (a RuntimeError, econ 56) could leave `--explore` as a
   raw Python traceback from TWO raise sites: the exploration loop's own
   round/token cap (`explore()`/`resume_exploration()`, uncaught in
   `main()`'s exploration `try`), and `generate_via_llm`'s retry loop when a
   mandate's own-proposal evaluation hits an unparseable reply (the full-run
   dispatch's `except` tuple only knew `ValueError`/`FileNotFoundError`/
   `ValidationError`). Both now end as `run refused: {exc}` on stderr, rc 1,
   same shape as every other loader refusal in run.py.

2. `{run_id}-exploration.json` carried rounds/tool_calls/plan_reviews/
   quick_validations but not the approaches the loop actually shaped — those
   stood only in the stdout mandate announcement. `explore.trace_payload`
   now takes a required `mandate` keyword and renders `mandate.approaches`
   under an "approaches" key, so an operator reading the artefact days later
   (the whole point of the async U12 door) can recover what the run decided
   to evaluate without the terminal.

Fifteen mutations across three detach points, all red against the full
suite: the exploration-loop except clause (2 red), the full-run except
tuple (1 red), and the approaches rendering (1 red) — plus a control per
fix proving the happy path is unaffected. Green control 1295 passed / 5
skipped (supersett of S7b's 1290/5, 0 removed), golden
demo-transcript.stdout byte-unchanged (shasum -a 1 = ea8c534…), ruff +
mypy clean.

"""MAJOR-2 (docs/2026-08-25-syretest-vei-ab.md) — ``--explore --scripted-replies`` must not
crash with a raw ``KeyError: 'navigator'``.
``_SCRIPTED_ROLES = ("proposer", "checker")`` (``run.py:1531``) is the debate's two roles.
``explore()`` asks the SAME ``client_factory`` for three more: ``manager``, ``navigator``,
``hypothesiser`` (``explore.py:576``). ``_load_scripted_replies`` was fail-fast for the two roles
it knew about — measured (docs/2026-08-25-syretest-vei-ab.md § MAJOR-2) to let the three it did not
know about surface exactly the ``KeyError`` deep inside ``scripted_factory``'s lookup its own
docstring warns against, mid-run, after the banner had already printed.
The fix widens the required-role set to include the exploration's three roles WHEN ``--explore``
is in play, so a missing role is refused BY NAME before any model/agent work starts — the same
door, never a second one.
MAJOR-1 (``docs/2026-09-02-misjonsreview-v2.md`` § 7) — and then the door that no longer crashed
turned out to be VACUOUS BY CONSTRUCTION, with an artefact that could not see it.
One constant string per role means no scripted role can ever emit a ``function_call``: measured,
0 tool calls / 0 approaches / 1 round on 4/4 bases, while every other field of
``{run_id}-exploration.json`` looked like a run that had worked. The third test above says as much
in its own docstring and asserts only the absence of a traceback — which was honest, and is
exactly the ceiling this section raises. An operator following this repo's measurement ladder
("prove as much as possible for free before the paid step") could not prove the navigator opens
anything, and after a PAID run nobody could read whether it had.
Two halves, each asserted so the OTHER cannot carry it:
(a) ``ExplorationToolRecorder`` — a ``FunctionMiddleware`` on the exploration agents recording the
tool NAME and the ``bundle_id`` it was asked for (never the result), in invocation order, onto
the caller-owned ``ExplorationTrace``; ``trace_payload`` writes it beside ``quick_validations``.
(b) ``_load_scripted_replies`` accepts, for the exploration roles, a LIST of steps where a step may
be ``{"call": "<tool>", "args": {...}}``, and ``scripted_factory`` then builds a client that
emits a ``function_call``.
Without (a) the record is empty though the tools ran; without (b) the tools never run though the
recorder is wired. The end-to-end test is RED against either detached, and the constant-string
control proves the recorder does not invent entries.
