agentfootprint/dist/types/hosting/answerAccounts.d.ts

The explainable agent framework — backtrack a wrong answer to the exact context that caused it (evidence, not guesses). Built on footprintjs.

/**
 * hosting/answerAccounts — the machinery behind the `answer-account` wire op:
 * one host's cache, its single-flight, and the pure step that turns a stored
 * recording into `{ account, shown }`.
 *
 * The op itself — its order, its refusals, its one door fact — lives inside
 * `standingAgent.ts · answerArtifact`, beside `head` and `get`, so its
 * ownership path cannot drift from theirs. This file owns only what that
 * branch must not re-derive per request:
 *
 *   • **The options, validated at boot.** `declarations` are the HOST's (a bad
 *     one throws when `standingAgent` is called, never per request), the
 *     ceiling and the cache size are numbers that must mean something.
 *   • **The cache key** — `(scope, ref, template-set version, declarations
 *     digest)`. The account is a pure function of the recording and the
 *     declarations, and the template-set version names the words, so a key
 *     that carries all four can never serve stale sentences: a library upgrade
 *     or a declarations change is a miss by construction.
 *   • **Single-flight** — ten concurrent clicks on one answer cause ONE store
 *     read and ONE parse. Joined waiters get the leader's outcome, failure
 *     included.
 *   • **An LRU bounded twice** — by entries (default 32) and by total
 *     serialized size ({@link ANSWER_ACCOUNT_CACHE_MAX_BYTES}). Only an
 *     account is ever cached; a failure is never an entry, so the next request
 *     tries again.
 *
 * What it deliberately does NOT own: whether the recording still exists. The
 * branch asks the store (a SILENT head) before it asks this cache — so a
 * swept or expired recording is "not available" even while its account sits
 * here (review R3-S1). A cache that answered first would serve derived record
 * data past the store's own retention.
