From abb6ecaa4c7dd366b805d915ebeefb3a1bda7cc0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Neusinger <2921697+MarkusNeusinger@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sun, 1 Nov 2026 21:45:05 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] feat(agent): short replies, questions only when they matter Owner decision of 2026-11-01 after the user test: replies are short and to the point, and a follow-up question comes only when it really matters. - root.md: a "Replies" section. The reply leads with the result in two or three sentences; the notices the data rules require stay (the loader's reads, keeps-time and converts lines, data changes with their counts, requested_not_found, refusals and limits). A question only when the turn cannot go on without it or the answer changes the data or the plot materially; no closing offer; an "offer" elsewhere in the instruction is said as a statement; a user's answer is acted on in the same turn. The step-1 summary no longer asks by default. - adapter.md and the self-review line: the "what changed" notes are in the plot language, in plain words without the code's names, without what stayed the same, and a fix lists only itself. - prep eval: every reply is measured (words, questions, a closing question); a closing question the turn was not blocked for, or a reply over 100 words, is a reply miss, gated at 10 %. A case can send the summarize_data action; four summary cases added.

Run it after every change to `root.md`'s "Step 1: the data" section, the operation or `Generate` models or the root's model. A case passes on exact operation match, order-insensitive, when every `prepare_data` and `generate_data` call of the turn succeeded (the operations apply in order, so a list the data refuses, such as a column named before its rename, is a miss however it reads, and so is a formula the server cannot compute): the operations of every call, taken together, equal the expected ones after both went through the `Operation` models (a default the model left out and one it wrote are the same; a `set_type` `decimal` equal to the dataset's own counts as left out; the column lists of `drop_columns` and `pivot_longer` and the conditions of `drop_rows` are sets). A `generate_data` call is one expected item `{"op": "generate_data", "variables": [...], "series": [...]}`, and two calls match when they compute the same table: the same names, points and values, so an endpoint written `-3.0` or `-3`, `tau` or `2*pi`, and an expression written `x*x` or `x**2` are the same choice (`comparison_key`). The report lists the call after the `Generate` model with its defaults left out (a variable named `x`, 200 points), the whitespace of every expression and endpoint removed, the series as a set and the variables in order. A case that expects no operation passes when the root made no data call, whether the scope judge refused the message or the root answered in words; the report lists every tool call and the refusal code. A reply in which the root talks about its own instructions (ADK's instruction markers, a system instruction or the session block) is a miss whatever the data calls did, and the summary counts such cases under `instruction_talk`. The gate is 80 % exact matches (`--min-exact`); a case whose turn ended in an `error` event counts in no rate, and more than 10 % of them (`--max-unavailable`) exit 4. +Since 2026-11-01 (owner decision: "short and to the point, no waffle, follow-up questions only when they really matter") the eval also measures every reply of the root: its words, its questions, and whether it closes with a question (`measure_reply`). A reply is a reply miss when it closes with a question the turn was not blocked for, or when it runs over 100 words (`MAX_REPLY_WORDS`, about the five sentences `root.md` allows at most). A turn is blocked when its case carries the tag `ask_back` (a request that can mean two different changes, or dates whose day and month order reads both ways) or when a data call of the turn failed. The reply gate is at most 10 % reply misses among the answered cases with a reply (`--max-reply-misses`); the summary reports the median and the longest reply in words, the questions per reply and the closing questions. A case can send the page's step-1 summary action instead of a message (`"action": "summarize_data"`, with a dataset and no expected operation); the four summary cases (tag `summary`) are a German pie of pets, a German wide table of expenses that `.to_long()` fits, an English daily series, and English slash dates whose order reads both ways, the one that may close with its question.

When the profile has `list_columns`, the paste was records whose lists became rows: those columns are the points of each record's curve, and every other number column holds one value per record, such as the temperature of each measured curve.

Use them as context for the whole chat (what a column means, its unit, where the data comes from), and in the summary say in a few words what you took from them. Act on a clear request in them right away, as on a typed message: bind the columns it names with `set_bindings`, change the data with `prepare_data` ("the dates are month first", "drop the total row"), treat a unit ("values in Fahrenheit") as the unit of that column in the plot's labels, and keep a plot wish ("log scale on y", a title) for the first plot with `keep_plot_request` in the summary turn, as a typed one, with any text the notes write out for the plot as `expected_texts`; say in the summary that it is kept only when `request_kept` is `true`.

The server sets the context variable `REQUEST_KIND=action`, so the judge is skipped, and sends a fixed message. Since 2026-10-14 (owner decision: "queue only the pipeline, not every chat message") a turn starts at once: the stream sends `ready` and the root runs. Only the sandbox work waits in the run queue (see the bounds table below): when the root calls `plot_pipeline` (after its readiness check) or `run_data_code`, that call takes the queue's slot and the turn's start in the rate window, the stream sends `status{step:"queued", position, waiting}` while it waits, and the request deadline, paused during the wait, resumes with the time it had left when the slot comes. A plain question, a refusal, `prepare_data` and `generate_data` never wait. So a user sees `ready`, `message`, `done` for a question, and `ready`, `status{queued}` (only when another run holds the slot or the minute's start is spent), `status{adapting}` and the pipeline's steps, `plot`, `message`, `done` for a plot. 5. Root call 1 calls `plot_pipeline({})`. `PipelineArgs` has no spec, library or dataset field; those come from server-set session state, so neither the model nor an injection can redirect the pipeline. Its `theme` (`light` by default) is the one theme the run renders and the reviewer sees; the root sets `dark` only when the user asks for a dark plot, and keeps the latest version's theme, which its session block names, for a change. Without a dataset, with incomplete bindings or without the user's confirmation of the data the pipeline returns `PlotResult(status="not_ready", reason=...)` (`no_dataset`, `incomplete_bindings`, `data_unconfirmed`) before any LLM call. 6. The pipeline streams `adapting`, `checking`, `rendering`, `reviewing` and `repairing` and always ends with `Event(output=PlotResult)`. A `None` output would raise `NodeInterruptedError`. -7.

Root call 2 writes a short reply in the session language. Since 2026-11-01 (owner decision: "short and to the point, no waffle, follow-up questions only when they really matter") a reply leads with the result in a few sentences, asks at most one question and only when the turn cannot go on without the answer or the answer would change the data or the plot materially, never closes with an offer, and acts on the user's answer to a question in the same turn; the notices the data rules require stay in every reply that needs them: the loader's "reads", "keeps time" and "converts" lines, a data change with its counts, `requested_not_found`, and what a refusal or a limit says (`prompts/root.md`, "Replies"). The version's "what changed" notes, which the adapter writes, are in the plot language and in plain words, without the code's own names such as `load_user_data()`. The UI fetches the PNG of the rendered theme (with the footer strip), `plot.py` and `data.csv` through the BFF. The light and dark switch calls `POST .../versions/{version}/render {theme}`, which renders the other theme from the version's stored run form (the same code and data) through the render backend and the host gates, with no adapter, no reviewer and no queue, and answers synchronously. 8. Free-text follow-ups go judge → root → `plot_pipeline(change_request, base="previous")`, `set_bindings`, `set_language` (a request such as "labels in English"), `keep_plot_request` (a wish for the first plot before the data is confirmed, typed or in the pasted notes, which the summary turn keeps; it starts no run, and the next `.create_plot()` draws it; the root says a request is kept only on `request_kept: true`, from this tool or from a `not_ready` `plot_pipeline`; live round 9 of 2026-10-16), or a code answer through `get_current_code`. The session's first in-scope typed message also sets the session language when the user has not chosen one. The library pills call `POST sessions/{sid}/library`, which loads a new snapshot and keeps the dataset and bindings. The pipeline is a code-bounded loop, never a graph cycle, wrapped as `plot_pipeline = Workflow(name="plot_pipeline", input_schema=PipelineArgs, edges=[("START", run_pipeline)])` so the tool name is stable.

A new dataset gets a new id, so a paste or a transcription's `.use()` drops the confirmation by itself, and so does any binding change through the `PUT` route or the root's `set_bindings` tool, also one that lands between the confirmation's read and its write, because the stored fingerprint then names bindings the session no longer holds; a library switch keeps the data, the bindings and the confirmation. Since 2026-10-15 (live test round 2) there is one exception for the root's `set_bindings`: bindings that only leave out members of a confirmed number family (`y2`, `y3`, …), every other binding exactly as confirmed, keep the confirmation (`session_state.narrows` and `narrowed_confirmation`, `AGENT_NARROWED_BINDINGS=keep`; `reset` restores the old rule; owner decision of 2026-10-15: "e.g. drops the 2nd line"), so a step-2 note such as "only co2_per_capita, title …" plots in the same turn, and the tool result says `data_confirmed`. Leaving out a grouping, text or boolean role such as `series` (which merged two countries into one line in the review) or any single role, or renumbering a member so that `y1` plots another column, asks for `.confirm()` again. A first plot's `change_request` that stops on `data_unconfirmed` or `incomplete_bindings`, or gets no queue slot, is kept in `anyplot.pending_request`, its `expected_texts` with it in `anyplot.pending_expected_texts`, and the bindings of that moment in `anyplot.pending_bindings` (`pipeline.keep_pending_request`, `hold_request`). A bare `.create_plot()` checks the render for the kept texts; a run that brings a request or texts of its own checks only its own, since the root never sees the kept ones and a withdrawn title must not count as a miss (`chosen_texts`); stored texts are read through the `PipelineArgs` validator (`kept_texts`). A binding write that keeps every binding of that moment and only fills roles open then (the step `incomplete_bindings` waits for) keeps the note (`session_state.fills_open_roles`); a change of an existing version neither takes nor clears it: the next first-plot run joins it to its own request (`merged_request`, at most 600 characters, the older note cut with `…` rather than dropped), and it stays until a run ships a plot (`settle_pending_request`), so a failed run loses nothing. Any binding write (the root's or the panel's), any new data version (a paste, `prepare_data`, `generate_data`, `run_data_code`, `.to_long()`, undo) and a library switch drop it, since it was written for the data and bindings before. The session block tells the root whether the data is confirmed, and the root answers `data_unconfirmed` by asking the user to confirm in the data panel, which it cannot do itself. The page shows a step header `1 data · 2 plot`, `.confirm()` after the bindings, and `.create_plot()`, which starts a run only after the confirmation (before it, the button explains the step instead of calling the server); the eval harness and the development fixture confirm on the user's behalf, because their data is the developer's own. -Built since 2026-10-11 (the operations): the root tool `prepare_data(operations)` with at most five operations per call, each a Pydantic model of the fixed set in `agents/anyplot/data/prepare.py`: `rename` (column, name), `drop_columns` (1 to 10 columns), `drop_rows` (`where` conditions on one column each, all of which must hold: `eq`, `ne`, `contains`, `is_missing`, `gt`, `lt`, at most three; a value is compared, never evaluated), `set_type` (number, datetime or text, with the date format and the decimal separator; to number is for the columns the profile still shows as text, because a column whose every cell carries the same unit is already numbers after the paste, the unit in its name such as `Anteil (%)`: one unit such as `%` or `EUR` is removed and the cells are read as the parser reads a number, the other mark a thousands separator between three-digit groups only, and when more cells read with the other decimal mark the whole column is read that way and the change line says so; a cell that cannot be read becomes missing, more than 10 % of them is a `type_mismatch`; to text the column stays text through the re-parse of every later version, stored with the version as `text_columns`; `MM/DD/YYYY` on a column that is already dates swaps day and month only for a slash column the parser flagged as ambiguous), `aggregate` (by one or two columns, a value column, `sum`, `mean`, `count`, `min` or `max`, and a `month`, `quarter` or `year` period for a datetime key, written as text labels such as `2024-03`; since live test round 5 of 2026-10-15 also `hour`, `day` or `week`, which keep the key a datetime, the first moment of its bucket: a date for a day and for an ISO week (its Monday), a time with its offset for an hour, so "a daily mean per sensor" keeps a time axis; the bucket follows the column's own clock as stored, its single UTC offset or UTC for a column the parser converted from several offsets, and the change line names that offset), `sort`, `pivot_longer` (2 to 20 columns into a name/value pair; a long format over the 2 MB cap of computed data, `MAX_COMPUTED_BYTES`, is an `invalid_operation`; 200 KB until 2026-10-14) and `pivot_wider` (the distinct values of a column become at most 50 columns; duplicate pairs are refused, never aggregated silently), and, since 2026-10-12, `classify` (a new text column whose cells are labels: each row gets the label of the first of 1 to 10 rules whose `drop_rows`-style conditions all hold, else `otherwise` or a missing cell; labels are at most 40 characters, never a token the parser reads as a missing cell such as `NA` or `-`, exempt from ToolSafety's link rule like a rename's name, and the column stays text through every re-parse). `classify` came from the owner's case of 2026-10-12: a generated sine table on `bar-feature-importance` had no text column for the `feature` role, and "positive is class 1, negative class 2" had no operation, so the root had to refuse. Since 2026-10-14, `derive` adds a number column from number columns by one formula of a closed set: `ratio` (`a / b`) and `difference` (`a - b`) of two columns, `sum` of 2 to 10 columns in the same row, `share` of one column in the total of its group (`within` 0 to 2 key columns), and three formulas that walk each group in the order of `order`, a number or datetime column: `percent_change` from the previous row, `cumsum` (the running total) and `index` (the group's first row = 100; the last two by owner decision of 2026-10-14). A text order column is a `type_mismatch` with a hint to `set_type` it, because it would sort alphabetically (`April` before `Januar`, `10` before `9`); repeated order values within a group are refused (aggregate first), and a row without an order value keeps an empty cell; `percent` multiplies a ratio or a share by 100, and a division by zero or a missing input leaves the cell empty, which the change line counts. It came from the owner's live test of 2026-10-14: "which year has the largest share of foreigners?" on a long table (year, origin, count), where the root could only ask the user to compute the column; now it derives the share, drops the other rows, sorts, and answers from the new profile. Since 2026-10-15 no operation loses precision without its change line saying so (owner rule): `set_type number` reads whole numbers exactly (never through a float64, which rounded `9007199254740993`) and counts the cells it can store only rounded; a `sum` aggregate, a row `sum` or `difference` and a `cumsum` of whole-number columns add in Python integers (pandas' `Int64` sum had wrapped around past 2^63 without a word), and a result past the int64 range is a float64 whose rounded values the change line counts, a count the line's length cap never cuts; `pivot_longer` of whole numbers beside decimals counts the whole numbers past 2^53 that the shared float64 column rounds; a date-time keeps its fraction of a second and its UTC offset in `data.csv`; `set_type datetime` without a format reads a year-first cell (`2024-06-01T13:00:00Z`) year, month, day, chosen per cell (pandas with `dayfirst` had read it as 6 January), and reads a column with different UTC offsets (summer and winter time) in UTC with a change line that names the offsets, as the parser writes such a column (owner decision of 2026-10-15); times with and without an offset in one column are a `type_mismatch`, since no time gets a zone by guess. A condition (`drop_rows`, `classify`) on a column with an offset compares moments, its value converted to the column's offset; a value without an offset there, or with one on a column without, is refused with a message that says which to give (it had crashed the tool with a `TypeError`). A condition on a whole-number column compares exact integers (`9007199254740992` and `9007199254740993` are two ids, though one float64), a value with a fraction equal to no cell. A float result (a ratio, a share, a mean) counts its whole-number inputs past 2^53 in the change line, and an integer result that leaves int64 counts every value past 2^53 it writes as a float, also one a float holds exactly (2^63). Since 2026-10-15, `make_date` adds a date column built from whole-number part columns of the same row: a year (four digits), then a month (1 to 12) and optionally a day, or a quarter (1 to 4), or an ISO week (1 to 53), a part left out being its first (a year and a month give the first day of each month); a day without a month, a quarter or a week beside another part, a value out of its range and a row that is no calendar date (31 April) are refused, never moved; a text month column may hold month names and abbreviations in the eleven refusal languages (en, de, fr, es, it, pt, nl, pl, zh, vi, ru), compared without case and diacritics, an unknown name refusing it (owner decision of 2026-10-15); ISO week 1 can start in late December, which the change line says. `set_type` to datetime gained the formats `DD/MM/YYYY`, `YYYYMMDD` and `YYYYMM` (also on a number column), `YYYY-MM`, `MM/YYYY`, `MM.YYYY` and `YYYY`; the compact ones take exactly 8, 6 or 4 digits (`2024115` is refused, never guessed), `YYYY` on numbers says "read as years", and `MM.YYYY` on a column the parser read as numbers (`03.2020` as 3.202) pads four decimals only when every cell then is a month of a year 1000 to 2200, at most 300 years apart, so a column of ordinary decimals (`2.2`, `3.5`) is refused. Since live test round 7 of 2026-10-16 the parser itself reads a column of months (`2025-01`), years 1000 to 2200, as dates, each the first day of its month as `set_type` `YYYY-MM` writes it, with a warning that names the reading (`parse._as_periods`): read as text, a monthly series had put `GWh` on x. A span that only looks like a month stays text, because a date would change what the cells mean: seasons (`2009-10`, `2010-11`, each second part the next year's last two digits) and bins (`2000-05`, `2005-10`), and any column whose name says ids, codes or seasons (`Saison`, `Code`, `Nr`). Quarters (`2025-Q1`) stay text too: as a date they would lose the spelling that says quarter; `set_type` reads them on request. The text labels of an `aggregate` by `month` or `quarter`, and the names a `pivot_longer` of month headers writes, stay text through the re-parse. A role that labels (`categorical`, `text`) takes a date column, so the months of a heatmap or a grouped bar chart keep their role; by default only a required role takes one, only up to 60 distinct dates, and after a real text category (`ts, host, latency` keeps `host` as the bars; 20,000 timestamps are never a stacked bar's components). Dates are read with Python's parser and stored at microseconds, so years outside pandas' nanosecond range (1677 to 2262) no longer crash the tool. A date column whose every day is at most 12 keeps its day and month order open from version to version (a warning carried by `with_date_notes`), and `set_type` swaps it in either direction: `MM/DD/YYYY` on a column read day first, `DD/MM/YYYY` or `DD.MM.YYYY` on one read month first. All this came from live test round 3 and its review: a MeteoSwiss table of `Year` and `Month` had no date for `line-timeseries-rolling`, the root tried `run_data_code`, which cannot read the user's table, and then asked the user to add the column by hand; the root prompt now names the operation and forbids handing data work back when an operation can do it. A date column the change made (a datetime column the version before did not have) fills an open required date role in `carry_bindings` (owner decision of 2026-10-15: code, not the model). No expression language (an injection surface), no joins, no model-guessed fills: the operations only move, type, aggregate, drop, label or compute from cells that are there, and `ToolSafety` validates the list against the same models before the tool runs. The server applies them with pandas to the stored canonical CSV, re-parses the result with `parse_dataset` (the dataset judge does not run again: the only new text is a rename's name or a `classify` label, which the model writes from a user message the scope judge already checked) and stores it as the next dataset version (`agents/anyplot/dataset_versions.py`): the previous version joins `anyplot.dataset_history`, which keeps the last five (older ones leave the store; the idle sweep takes a session's history only together with its current version), `anyplot.dataset_version` counts up from the paste's 1, the bindings are carried over (`carry_bindings`: the ones still valid stay, the roles left without one get the defaults), and the confirmation drops by itself because its fingerprint names the dataset id. The tool answers the change lines (one English line per operation with its counts, fenced as ``) and the new profile (fenced as ``), or a `PrepareError` code (`unknown_column`, `type_mismatch`, `empty_result`, `too_wide`, `invalid_operation`) with a message that names columns at most. The page learns about a changed dataset from the `done` event: after a turn that changed the dataset id it carries `dataset: {preview, profile, bindings, warnings, roles, changes, version, context_lines}`, the dataset route's shape plus the turn's change lines (`roles` since the formulas below), and `data_confirmed: false`; the BFF relays a `done` of up to 512 KiB whole (every other event stops at 64 KiB), which the largest dataset the parser accepts fits (`agents/stream.py`, `MAX_DONE_EVENT_CHARS`). `POST /v1/sessions/{sid}/dataset/undo` (the user's `.undo()` button; the model has no undo) restores the newest history entry as the current dataset, bindings carried over, unconfirmed again, and answers like the dataset route (`422 nothing_to_undo` for a paste that was never changed). The step-1 summary is the action `{"action": "summarize_data"}` on the messages route (judge skipped, like `create_plot`; since 2026-10-14 the turn also carries the notes pasted with the table, already judged at the paste, after a preamble and fenced as ``, and `get_dataset_profile` returns them under `user_notes` for later turns, with a fixed session-block line saying they exist, so the root uses them as context for the whole chat and acts on a clear request in them at once, the plot itself still waiting for the user's confirmation): the root reads the profile, which now carries `mean` and `median` for numeric columns, and answers in two to four sentences (rows, columns with types and units, missing values, values that look like percentages, the proposed bindings, one question when something is ambiguous), never claiming the data is right: the user confirms. The live eval `agents/evals/prep.py` scores the root's choices on `agents/evals/fixtures/prep/` by exact operation match, order-insensitive, with an 80 % gate (see [Run the prep eval](../../agents/README.md#run-the-prep-eval)). The page asks for the summary right after every parse that stores a dataset (a paste, or a transcription's `.use()`; never after an undo or a library switch), so it is the first turn in the thread, and the composer takes data requests in step 1. A `done` with `dataset` replaces the preview, the profile and the bindings, takes the page back to step 1, and shows a `# changed` block above the preview with the change lines and `.undo()`; after an undo the block names the restored version and keeps `.undo()` while the version is above 1, until the service answers `nothing_to_undo`. +Built since 2026-10-11 (the operations): the root tool `prepare_data(operations)` with at most five operations per call, each a Pydantic model of the fixed set in `agents/anyplot/data/prepare.py`: `rename` (column, name), `drop_columns` (1 to 10 columns), `drop_rows` (`where` conditions on one column each, all of which must hold: `eq`, `ne`, `contains`, `is_missing`, `gt`, `lt`, at most three; a value is compared, never evaluated), `set_type` (number, datetime or text, with the date format and the decimal separator; to number is for the columns the profile still shows as text, because a column whose every cell carries the same unit is already numbers after the paste, the unit in its name such as `Anteil (%)`: one unit such as `%` or `EUR` is removed and the cells are read as the parser reads a number, the other mark a thousands separator between three-digit groups only, and when more cells read with the other decimal mark the whole column is read that way and the change line says so; a cell that cannot be read becomes missing, more than 10 % of them is a `type_mismatch`; to text the column stays text through the re-parse of every later version, stored with the version as `text_columns`; `MM/DD/YYYY` on a column that is already dates swaps day and month only for a slash column the parser flagged as ambiguous), `aggregate` (by one or two columns, a value column, `sum`, `mean`, `count`, `min` or `max`, and a `month`, `quarter` or `year` period for a datetime key, written as text labels such as `2024-03`; since live test round 5 of 2026-10-15 also `hour`, `day` or `week`, which keep the key a datetime, the first moment of its bucket: a date for a day and for an ISO week (its Monday), a time with its offset for an hour, so "a daily mean per sensor" keeps a time axis; the bucket follows the column's own clock as stored, its single UTC offset or UTC for a column the parser converted from several offsets, and the change line names that offset), `sort`, `pivot_longer` (2 to 20 columns into a name/value pair; a long format over the 2 MB cap of computed data, `MAX_COMPUTED_BYTES`, is an `invalid_operation`; 200 KB until 2026-10-14) and `pivot_wider` (the distinct values of a column become at most 50 columns; duplicate pairs are refused, never aggregated silently), and, since 2026-10-12, `classify` (a new text column whose cells are labels: each row gets the label of the first of 1 to 10 rules whose `drop_rows`-style conditions all hold, else `otherwise` or a missing cell; labels are at most 40 characters, never a token the parser reads as a missing cell such as `NA` or `-`, exempt from ToolSafety's link rule like a rename's name, and the column stays text through every re-parse). `classify` came from the owner's case of 2026-10-12: a generated sine table on `bar-feature-importance` had no text column for the `feature` role, and "positive is class 1, negative class 2" had no operation, so the root had to refuse.

The root tool `query_data(operations, columns, limit)` (`agents/anyplot/data/query.py`) applies zero to five operations of the same closed set as `prepare_data` (no free expression) to a copy of the current version and returns the first `limit` rows (1 to 25, default 10) in at most 8 columns, fenced as ``, with the result's row count, a `truncated` flag and the change lines; the result is cut by rows to its 16 KB cap. Nothing is stored: the dataset, its version, the bindings and the confirmation stay as they are.

The report lists the call after the `Generate` model with its defaults left out (a variable named `x`, 200 points), the whitespace of every expression and endpoint removed, the series as a set and the variables in order.

The user adjusts the bindings in dropdowns (`PUT .../bindings`), confirms the data with its bindings (`POST .../dataset/confirm`, step 1 of two, see "Two steps: data first, then the plot" below) and clicks **Create plot**, which sends `POST .../messages {action: "create_plot"}`. The server sets the context variable `REQUEST_KIND=action`, so the judge is skipped, and sends a fixed message. Since 2026-10-14 (owner decision: "queue only the pipeline, not every chat message") a turn starts at once: the stream sends `ready` and the root runs. Only the sandbox work waits in the run queue (see the bounds table below): when the root calls `plot_pipeline` (after its readiness check) or `run_data_code`, that call takes the queue's slot and the turn's start in the rate window, the stream sends `status{step:"queued", position, waiting}` while it waits, and the request deadline, paused during the wait, resumes with the time it had left when the slot comes. A plain question, a refusal, `prepare_data` and `generate_data` never wait. So a user sees `ready`, `message`, `done` for a question, and `ready`, `status{queued}` (only when another run holds the slot or the minute's start is spent), `status{adapting}` and the pipeline's steps, `plot`, `message`, `done` for a plot. 5. Root call 1 calls `plot_pipeline({})`. `PipelineArgs` has no spec, library or dataset field; those come from server-set session state, so neither the model nor an injection can redirect the pipeline. Its `theme` is the one theme the run renders and the reviewer sees; the root sets it only when the user asks for a theme. Left out, the run takes the site theme the page sent with the turn (`POST .../messages?theme=`, owner decision of 2026-11-01 after user test E2, where the dark site got a bright plot), so a change after the user switched the site follows the switch; a change of a version whose theme the user asked for keeps that theme (`CodeVersion.theme_asked`), and a caller without a page (`adk web`, the evals) keeps the latest version's theme, else light (`pipeline.run_theme`). The page sends the theme as a query parameter because the BFF's and the service's bodies are strict, and an unknown parameter lets the page, the API and the service deploy in any order. Without a dataset, with incomplete bindings or without the user's confirmation of the data the pipeline returns `PlotResult(status="not_ready", reason=...)` (`no_dataset`, `incomplete_bindings`, `data_unconfirmed`) before any LLM call. 6. The pipeline streams `adapting`, `checking`, `rendering`, `reviewing` and `repairing` and always ends with `Event(output=PlotResult)`. A `None` output would raise `NodeInterruptedError`. -7.

The session's first in-scope typed message also sets the session language when the user has not chosen one.

In that test a German paste set `de`, the first plot came out German, and the English follow-up "Use a log scale on y" recorded `en` and made the adapter translate the title and switch to English number format, while the axes and months from the data stayed German; and "Make the title German", typed in English, made the root's `set_language` turn the replies German too, since `set_language` then set the one language for both. Now that request changes only the plot's language (`applies_to` `plot`) and the replies stay English. The plot language is resolved once per run (`session_state.plot_language`): the language the user asked for the plot's text (`anyplot.plot_language`, written by the chip and by `set_language`), else the language the session's latest rendered version is written in, in any library, else the session language. So the first plot follows the paste, the first typed message or the chip as before, and every later version keeps the language of the plot the user has: a follow-up message in another language changes the replies, never the plot. `set_language(language, applies_to)` takes `plot` ("labels in English", "make the title German"), `replies` ("answer in French") or `both` (the default, which the chip also does). `replies` stores the plot language as it resolves at that moment, so a first plot made afterwards does not follow the new reply language.
