Conversation
- Introduced a comprehensive C4 context level documentation for ExecutionKit, detailing system overview, personas, features, user journeys, external systems, and a context diagram. - Highlighted key patterns such as Consensus, Refine Loop, and React Loop, along with their use cases and API references. refactor: Improve budget management in TokenUsage - Updated the `_subtract` function to handle budget fields with a sentinel value of -1 for exhausted budgets, preventing misinterpretation of unlimited fields. - Enhanced `CostTracker` with methods to reserve and release call slots, addressing TOCTOU race conditions during concurrent LLM dispatches. fix: Update error handling and messaging in provider - Changed error handling in the `Provider` class to raise more specific exceptions for transport failures. - Adjusted the `Kit` class to raise `TypeError` instead of `PatternError` when the provider does not meet the required interface. feat: Introduce message construction helpers - Added `user_message` and `assistant_message` functions for constructing OpenAI-compatible message dictionaries, improving code readability and maintainability. test: Enhance test coverage for budget management and tool parameters - Added tests to ensure proper handling of budget exhaustion and the correct behavior of the `_trim_messages` function. - Verified that tool parameters are wrapped in a read-only `MappingProxyType` to enforce immutability. chore: Update project metadata and dependencies - Updated project URLs in `pyproject.toml` to reflect the correct repository location. - Ensured all tests pass with the latest changes and maintained high coverage across the codebase.

checked_complete reserves a call before awaiting with_retry, but the cleanup only catches Exception. In Python, asyncio.CancelledError is a BaseException, so cancellation skips this handler and leaves the reservation counted forever. After any cancelled request, the shared CostTracker can report phantom llm_calls, causing later budget checks to fail early in long-running or concurrent workflows.

Code Review
This pull request introduces several improvements to the ExecutionKit library, including enhanced budget management in the pipe composition pattern, the addition of reserve_call and release_call methods to CostTracker to prevent race conditions, and new message construction helpers. It also updates documentation and adds unit tests for the new functionality. My feedback highlights that the reserve_call and release_call methods are currently duplicated in cost.py and suggests removing the redundant implementation. Additionally, I have raised a concern regarding the use of -1 as a sentinel value for exhausted budgets, as it may compromise the mathematical integrity of the TokenUsage class.

Using -1 as a sentinel value for an exhausted budget in TokenUsage is a fragile design choice. Since TokenUsage is a public data class that implements __add__, any mathematical operations involving an exhausted budget object will yield incorrect results (e.g., adding an exhausted budget to a usage object). While this works for internal logic in checked_complete, it breaks the mathematical properties of the type. A more robust approach would be to use None for unlimited fields and 0 for exhausted fields, although this would require a larger refactor of the budget convention.

Pull request overview
This PR tightens immutability guarantees across core value types (tools, responses, results), refines budget propagation semantics in pipe() (using an explicit exhausted sentinel), and adds/updates extensive documentation and tests to reflect the evolving public API.
Changes:
- Enforce read-only mappings (via
MappingProxyType) and immutable sequences (tuples) in core dataclasses (Tool,LLMResponse,PatternResult) and adapt tests accordingly. - Change
pipe()budget propagation to use-1as an “exhausted” sentinel instead of clamping to0(which means “unlimited”), and teach budget enforcement to recognize the sentinel. - Add engine message helpers and large C4/API documentation set; update repository URLs in docs/metadata.

LLMResponse.usage is wrapped with MappingProxyType(usage) but usage is the same dict object stored inside raw (data). Because raw is exposed on the response, external mutation of response.raw["usage"] would mutate the supposedly-immutable response.usage view. Consider wrapping a shallow copy instead (e.g., MappingProxyType(dict(usage))) to avoid shared mutable state.

The public API spec is out of sync with the implemented immutable types: PatternResult.metadata is now a MappingProxyType, and LLMResponse.tool_calls / LLMResponse.usage are now tuple/MappingProxyType (not list/dict). Update this spec to match the current dataclass field types so downstream readers don’t implement against outdated contracts.

This documentation block shows outdated type signatures for the immutable value types: LLMResponse.tool_calls is now a tuple (not list), LLMResponse.usage is a MappingProxyType (not dict), PatternResult.metadata is a MappingProxyType, and Tool.parameters is now treated as an immutable mapping. Please update the interface examples to reflect the current code so the docs don’t contradict the library behavior.

This settings file includes hard-coded absolute local paths (e.g. C:/Users/...) in allowed Bash command patterns. Committing machine-specific paths makes the config non-portable and may leak local environment details; consider removing these entries or replacing them with relative paths/patterns.
