1. 1//! The resolution cascade.
2. 2//!
3. 3//! Tiers run cheapest first and stop as soon as confidence clears the bar:
4. 4//!
5. 5//! | Tier | Cost | Reproducible |
6. 6//! |---|---|---|
7. 7//! | [`Tier::Declared`] — a caller said so | free | yes |
8. 8//! | [`Tier::Signals`] — deterministic extraction | free | yes |
9. 9//! | [`Tier::LocalModel`] / [`Tier::CloudModel`] | metered | no |
10. 10//! | [`Tier::General`] — nothing reached the bar | free | yes |
11. 11//!
12. 12//! A request is resolved as a list of [`Strand`]s (see [`crate::strand`]):
13. 13//! pasted material is set aside, the rest is segmented into clauses, each
14. 14//! clause that asks for work starts a part, and the clauses around it that
15. 15//! only describe the situation join it as context. The turn's engagement is
16. 16//! [`Engagement::compose`] over the strands. Everything that wants one answer
17. 17//! for the turn reads the composite [`Reading`].
18. 18//!
19. 19//! # Why this module does not dispatch
20. 20//!
21. 21//! Escalating to a model is a provider dispatch, and in vak a dispatch means a
22. 22//! work receipt, a spend-gate admission, a watchdog and a cancellation token.
23. 23//! All of that machinery lives in `vak-core`, so this module decides
24. 24//! **whether** a paid tier is warranted and hands back a
25. 25//! [`Resolution::Escalate`] carrying the partial reading; the host builds the
26. 26//! prompt with [`classification_prompt`], performs the call, parses the answer
27. 27//! with [`parse_classifications`], and folds it back in with
28. 28//! [`apply_classification`].

48. 48/// met, so a ledger row that says 4 was written by one of them: on `main`,
49. 49/// `live` as the verb "reside" ("we live in the city") stopped reading as
50. 50/// current data or irreversible stakes; on the intent-accuracy branch, the
51. 51/// tier-1 reader was rewritten (clauses read by role, pasted material set
52. 52/// aside, topic nouns no longer raise stakes, recency asks for live data only
53. 53/// beside a request for a fact and never about something local or the
54. 54/// agent's own state, assurance needs something checkable, no horizon from
55. 55/// sequencing words or length, strand ids from a host-minted turn id, stakes
56. 56/// words count when the verb is unknown and a weak part keeps them, the flag
57. 57/// spellings of destructive git commands and common instruction verbs are
58. 58/// read). 5 — the two together: `live` counts as a recency word only in the
