Stage 6 of the realism migration. User-class file bodies (note,
todo, draft, script) optionally get LLM-authored content; system
classes (cron / daemon logs, /tmp caches) stay template-only because
formulaic *is* the right look for them.
New surface:
- realism.llm.circuit.LLMCircuitBreaker — process-local sliding-window
breaker. 3 consecutive failures trip open; 60s cooldown to half-open;
half-open success closes, failure re-opens. Protects the orchestrator
tick from sustained Ollama wedges (per-call timeout already covers
one-shot hangs).
- realism.prompts._style — em-dash suppression lifted from the
email prompt. Persona.uses_llms_heavily opts out per the
feedback_em_dash_llm_tell.md memory. Includes strip_em_dashes
belt-and-braces sub for output that slipped past the prompt rule.
- realism.prompts.filebody — class-conditioned prompts (note / todo
/ draft / script) with persona context, language pinning, output
shape rule.
- realism.bodies.make_body_with_llm — async wrapper around make_body
that calls the LLM when one is provided AND the breaker allows.
Falls back to template on timeout / error / empty / system-class.
Wiring:
- scheduler.pick_file accepts optional llm + llm_breaker + llm_timeout.
When the planner picks a create action and the content_class is a
user-class, the body_hint is replaced with the LLM-authored body
(or falls back to the deterministic body_hint).
- orchestrator.worker constructs get_llm() at startup gated by
DECNET_REALISM_LLM env var (any non-empty value enables; empty /
"off" / "none" / "0" disables). Passes llm + breaker through every
tick.
- decnet orchestrate gains --llm/--no-llm flag overriding the env var.
