fix(coding-agent): follow local schema refs in tool search and codemode summaries (#11850)
Fixes #11803.

**Problem**

`tool_search` builds a tool's search text from its parameter schema but
never followed `$ref`. MCP servers (Pydantic, FastMCP) often put nested
models in `$defs`:

```json
{ "properties": { "options": { "$ref": "#/$defs/options" } },
  "$defs": { "options": { "properties": { "mode": { "description": "reconciliation" } } } } }
```

Search text was `Inspect records options`, so
`tool_search("reconciliation")` found nothing. Durable's copy of
`tool_search` had the same gap. The codemode `resolves to` summary had
the same blind spot for output schemas: a field behind a `$ref` showed
as `structuredContent?` with no field names.

**Fix**

- pi-codemode exports its existing local JSON Pointer resolver as
`resolveSchemaRef(ref, root)`. A malformed percent escape now resolves
to nothing instead of throwing `URIError` (this also affected
`schemaToType()`).
- coding-agent and Durable `schemaText()` follow local `$ref`s. Each
referenced subschema is read once, so recursive and shared definitions
neither loop nor inflate BM25 term counts. Unreferenced `$defs` and
remote refs stay out.
- coding-agent `describeFields()`/`describeUnionFields()` resolve `$ref`
chains against the output schema root.

**Tests**

- `packages/codemode/test/declarations.test.ts`: escaped, remote,
missing, malformed refs.
- `packages/coding-agent/test/tool-search.test.ts`: refs, escaped
segments, recursion and shared definitions, unused definitions.
- `packages/coding-agent/test/suite/agent-session-codemode.test.ts`:
summary through root, field, const, and union refs.
- `packages/durable/test/tool-search.test.ts`: end-to-end load via a
ref'd description; unused definition does not match.

`npm run check` passes.

Changelog

[Unreleased]

Added

  • Added resolveSchemaRef(ref, root), which returns the subschema a local $ref (#, #/$defs/Item) names in a schema, with URI-decoded and JSON Pointer unescaped segments (#11803)

Fixed

  • Fixed schemaToType(), renderDeclarations(), renderToolSignature(), and renderToolSample() throwing URIError for a local $ref with a malformed percent escape (#/$defs/%E0), so one such tool schema failed every caller that renders all tools. The reference now renders as unknown, like a reference that names nothing (#11803)

[1.5.0] - 2026-11-02

Changed

  • README: the codemode tool example builds its parameters with @earendil-works/pi-schema instead of TypeBox.

[1.4.0] - 2026-10-21

[1.3.0] - 2026-10-15

Breaking Changes

  • Worker-backed results and close() now settle after requesting shutdown, not after worker exit. Hosts that require actual exit must track onWorkerStarted(exited) or retain capacity through acquireWorker()'s release callback

Added

  • Added CodemodeSandbox's onWorkerStarted(exited) callback so hosts can count a worker against concurrency limits until it actually exits, independently of its script result
  • Added CodemodeSandbox's acquireWorker() hook to reserve shared capacity before starting a worker and release it only on actual exit or constructor failure

Fixed

  • Fixed aborts, timeouts, and close() waiting for worker termination on Bun while a non-interruptible built-in runs; shutdown now requests termination without waiting for exit (#10748)

[1.2.0] - 2026-10-12

Breaking Changes

  • Removed MCP_TYPESCRIPT_PREAMBLE and mcpStructuredContentSchema(). renderToolOutputType() and the declarations built on it render every output schema as its own type and no longer turn MCP CallToolResult schemas into CallToolResult<T>; describe MCP results in the output schema instead

Added

  • Added RemoteCodemodeSandbox, which runs each script's VM in another isolate while tools run in the caller. CodemodeSandboxDurableObject from the new @earendil-works/pi-codemode/cloudflare entry is its remote end, deployed as its own Cloudflare Worker. examples/cloudflare shows the setup
  • Added InlineCodemodeSandbox, which runs the VM on the calling thread for runtimes without worker threads. Its interruptBudget limits scripts that compute without awaiting a tool
  • Added the @earendil-works/pi-codemode/portable entry, which has no Node imports, and CodemodeSandboxBase, the API all three sandboxes share
  • Added sandbox.start(), a deterministic run whose calls the host answers itself (onCall, run.deliver()), so a host can replay a script after a restart: a virtual clock from startedAt, randomness from seed, UTC, no WeakRef/FinalizationRegistry, results applied in the order the host numbers them, the VM's fingerprint (onStarted), the calls issued after each result (onIdle), and whether the run has its outcome (run.finished). Works with every sandbox; execute() is unchanged

Changed

  • schemaToType() and the declarations built on it show property constraints the TypeScript type cannot express as tags on the property's comment line, such as // @integer @minimum 0 @maximum 30000 @default 0. Covered keywords: integer, numeric bounds, multipleOf, string length, pattern, format, array length, uniqueItems, non-null default, and deprecated; constraints of nullable anyOf/oneOf fields are read from the non-null branch, and draft-04 boolean exclusiveMinimum/exclusiveMaximum are shown as exclusive bounds. Property descriptions now also split on U+2028/U+2029. A type over maxChars is rendered again without tags before it becomes unknown (#10707)
  • image() errors describe the accepted image block as { type: "image", data, mimeType } instead of an MCP image block
  • The VM now polls for interrupts while it drains promise jobs, so a script such as while (true) await null is stopped at the same points as a synchronous loop

Fixed

  • Fixed parseCodemodeSource() ignoring a // @options: line that is not the first line, so its timeout_ms never applied; it now throws CodemodeSourceError (#10631)
  • Fixed CodemodeSandbox failing with a broken bridge error when the host runs under node --watch on Node 24 or 26, which posts watch:import/watch:require messages on the worker channel (#10725)

[1.1.0] - 2026-10-07

Added

  • Added console: true to text output items produced by console.*, so hosts can tell them apart from text() output

[1.0.4] - 2026-10-05

Changed

  • Built-ins are frozen and built-in globals are read-only before the script runs, so patches such as Array.prototype.toJSON = ... have no effect. Instances can still override constructor, name, message, toString, toLocaleString, valueOf, toJSON, and Object.prototype members (#10444)

Fixed

  • Fixed a script that patched built-ins crashing the host process and leaving execute() unsettled. Malformed payloads from the worker now fail the execution with a sandbox error (#10444)

[1.0.3] - 2026-10-05

[1.0.2] - 2026-10-04

[1.0.1] - 2026-10-03

Fixed

  • Fixed scripts that print in a loop growing the host's memory until it crashes: output is limited to MAX_OUTPUT_CHARS (16 Mi) characters and MAX_OUTPUT_ITEMS (100000) items, and a script past either limit fails with a RangeError (#10283)

[1.0.0] - 2026-10-01

Added

  • Added renderToolOutputType(), the type a tool call resolves to.

Changed

  • Reading a member of tools or of a global namespace that does not exist now throws an error naming the close matches, instead of returning undefined. Use "name" in tools to check for a tool. store() size errors explain what the store is for.

[0.99.2] - 2026-09-30

Changed

  • Allowed CodemodeSandbox.workerUrl to be a string, as required for embedded worker entrypoints in Bun compiled executables (#10204).

Fixed

  • Fixed image() accepting malformed base64 data and unsupported image types. It now throws a TypeError unless the data is valid base64 of a PNG, JPEG, GIF, or WebP image, derives the MIME type from the image signature instead of the declared type, and strips line breaks from wrapped base64 (#10215).

[0.99.1] - 2026-09-29

[0.99.0] - 2026-09-29

Added

  • Initial spike: CodemodeSandbox runs model-written JavaScript in a worker thread and exposes injected tools as tools.<name>(args) async functions.
