Summary

Moves the runvil-harness pin from 7147e709 to 0d938885 and brings the Run window in line with the Engine's rule for arguments.

At 0d938885 a prompt's arguments are one JSON object. The frontmatter key args: declares the object in a subset of JSON Schema, and a prompt has no input file. The contract route built its answer from types that are gone, so the pin and the Run window change together.

The pinned commit is the head of cppalliance/runvil-harness#13. It is fetchable through the cppalliance/runvil-harness URL today, and it becomes a commit of that repository's master when #13 merges.

What changed

  • The pin. The four runvil-harness entries in Cargo.toml name 0d938885abc7fb293ae449a787c50e7c7eb60e92. Cargo.lock changes the 15 source lines of the crates that come from that repository and adds serde_json to the dependencies of runvil-prompt.
  • POST /prompts/contract. The response has no input field. Its args field is the prompt's declaration as JSON Schema, the value of ArgsSchema::as_json().
  • run-api.ts. args narrows as a recursive schema node, field by field, with no cast. A type word outside the six fails the narrowing.
  • The Run window's rows. One row for each top-level property of the schema, in name order, with the required marker from the root's required list:
    • a boolean is the switch
    • an integer or a number is a number field
    • a string is a text field, and its placeholder lists an enum
    • a string named text is the multiline box, because text is the Engine's name for free text
    • a list or an object is the multiline box, with its default as JSON text
  • Removed. The input row, its Browse button, and the Choose Input dialog.

The Run button is still inert.

What did not need to change

The pin moves across six commits of runvil-harness. Outside the contract route and the Run window, no code, test, or prompt here changed for them. The built-in chat prompt reads no arguments, and no run here sets the arguments of its setup, so each run starts with the default {}.

One thing to know: a prompt that requires an argument with no default now ends at its first step in an agent run, with the code args_invalid, because no run here passes arguments. No test covers that.

Verification

Run locally on Windows at the new pin, all passing:

  • cargo nextest run --locked on both partitions: 703 passed and 347 passed
  • cargo clippy on both partitions, with CARGO_BUILD_WARNINGS=deny
  • cargo fmt --all --check
  • cargo doc on the workspace partition with RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings"
  • cargo dylint --all -- --locked --workspace --all-targets --all-features
  • cargo test -p build-xtask: 86 passed
  • node --test crates/workshop/ui/test/docs-claims.mjs
  • in crates/workshop/ui: npm run typecheck, npm test (194 passed, 1 skipped), and npm run build

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Run prompts can now define arguments using JSON Schema, including nested objects and arrays, required fields, enums, and descriptions.
    • Argument controls adapt to their schema: text, array, and object values can be entered in multiline fields, and enum options are shown as hints.
  • Updates
    • Prompt contracts now return argument schemas and no longer include an input-file declaration.
    • The Run panel no longer offers input-file browsing; prompt selection remains available.

The Engine at `0d938885abc7fb293ae449a787c50e7c7eb60e92` takes a prompt's arguments as one JSON object that the `args:` key declares in a subset of JSON Schema, and a prompt has no input file. The four `runvil-harness` entries in `Cargo.toml` name that commit, the contract route sends the declaration as its JSON Schema, and the Run window draws one row for each top-level property.

- `ContractResponse` has no `input` field, and its `args` field is the value of `as_json()`. `ArgsDto` and `ArgDto` are deleted.
- `run-api.ts` narrows `args` as a recursive `RunContractSchema` node with no cast. A `type` word outside the six fails the narrowing, at any depth, and so does a root that is not an object.
- `argControl` picks a control by the property's `type`: the switch for a boolean, a number field for an integer or a number, and a text field for a string, whose placeholder lists an `enum`. A list or an object gets the multiline box with its default as JSON text, and a string named `text` gets the same box.
- The required marker comes from the root's `required` list.
- The input row, `browseInput`, and the Choose Input dialog are deleted. `RunRowsOptions` held `browseInput` alone, so it is deleted too.
- `Cargo.lock` changes the 15 source lines of the crates that come from `runvil-harness` and adds `serde_json` to the dependencies of `runvil-prompt`.
- The pin moves across six commits of `runvil-harness`. No code, test, or prompt outside the contract route and the Run window changed for them: the built-in chat prompt reads no arguments, and no run here sets the arguments of its setup, so each run starts with `{}`.
- A prompt that requires an argument with no default now ends at its first step in an agent run, because no run here passes arguments. No test covers that.
- The Run button is still inert.

Walkthrough

The prompt contract now returns arguments as JSON Schema and omits the input-file field. The UI parses recursive schemas and renders Run panel controls from their properties. Input-file Browse controls have been removed.

Changes: Prompt argument schema

Layer / File(s) Summary
Return JSON Schema from the prompt contract
Cargo.toml, crates/workshop/server/src/routes/prompts.rs, crates/workshop/server/src/routes/prompts-tests.rs
The server response now returns args as JSON Schema and no longer includes input. Route tests use object schemas, including a default described text property. The four runvil-harness dependencies now reference commit 0d938885abc7fb293ae449a787c50e7c7eb60e92.
Parse the recursive argument schema
crates/workshop/ui/src/services/run-api.ts, crates/workshop/ui/test/run-api.mjs
The UI contract uses recursive schema nodes and validates their types and optional fields. The root args schema must be an object. Tests cover nested schemas and malformed or unsupported shapes.
Render schema properties in the Run panel
crates/workshop/ui/src/parts/run/run-panel.ts, crates/workshop/ui/src/parts/run/run-rows.ts, crates/workshop/ui/test/run-panel.mjs
The Run panel renders controls from schema properties and marks required properties. Arrays and objects use JSON textareas; text uses a textarea. The input-file row and Browse dialog are removed.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: Low · up to f4407

The Run window will not show the allowed values for integer or number arguments that declare an enum, although string enums display them. The effect is limited to display and has an easy fix. The remaining risk to merging is low.

Explanation

The title names two changes: the Harness pin moves to commit 0d938885, and the Run panel and contract response now show the args JSON Schema. Both appear in the changeset: Cargo.toml updates the four runvil-harness entries, and the contract, route, and UI files switch args to the schema. The title does not mention the removal of the input file and Browse dialog, which is a notable part of the change, but it does not misstate the work. The commit hash is specific, though a reader may need the diff to know its meaning.

Show enum choices for integer arguments.

For { type: "integer", enum: [1, 2] }, argControl returns the number input before this placeholder assignment. The empty control therefore hides the allowed values. String enums show those values, but integer enums do not.

Set the enum placeholder on numeric controls before returning them. Add a rendering test for an integer enum.
