Both functions had:
try: ToolPresetManager().load_all() ...
except (OSError, ValueError, AttributeError) as e:
sys.stderr.write(f'[ERROR] Failed to set {preset_name}: {e}')
sys.stderr.flush()
sys.stderr.write is logging = NOT a drain = SS violation per MUST-NOT-DO #6.
New helpers:
- _set_tool_preset_result(preset_name: Optional[str]) -> Result[None]
Empty/None preset short-circuits to Result(data=None).
On failure: Result(data=None, errors=[ErrorInfo]).
- _set_bias_profile_result(profile_name: Optional[str]) -> Result[None]
Same pattern.
Legacy wrappers set the global state (or skip on empty preset) and
delegate to the _result helper. Cache invalidation runs regardless.
Audit: ai_client SS 9 -> 7. COMPLIANT 27 -> 29.
Sites L432 (cleanup) and L450 (reset_session) had:
try: _gemini_client.caches.delete(name=_gemini_cache.name)
except Exception: pass
This is bare 'except: pass' = INTERNAL_SILENT_SWALLOW violation (logging is NOT
a drain; 'pass' is the worst form of silent recovery).
Migration: use existing _delete_gemini_cache_result() helper (added Phase 10).
The helper returns Result[None]; on SDK error logs a warning to comms.
The caller ignores the Result (cleanup is best-effort).
Audit: ai_client SS 11 -> 9.
All 3 run_tier4_* functions had the same pattern:
try: ... AI call ...
except Exception as e: return '[XXX FAILED] {e}' (or None)
Per TIER1_REVIEW: empty-default return = MIGRATE to Result[T].
New helpers:
- _run_tier4_analysis_result(stderr: str) -> Result[str]
Returns Result(data=analysis) on success, Result(data='', errors=[ErrorInfo])
on SDK failure. Empty stderr short-circuits to Result(data='').
- _run_tier4_patch_callback_result(stderr: str, base_dir: str) -> Result[Optional[str]]
Returns Result(data=patch) on valid diff, Result(data=None) when no
valid diff, Result(data=None, errors=[ErrorInfo]) on SDK failure.
- _run_tier4_patch_generation_result(error: str, file_context: str) -> Result[str]
Returns Result(data=patch) on success, Result(data='', errors=[ErrorInfo])
on SDK failure. Empty error short-circuits to Result(data='').
Legacy wrappers delegate to _result helpers and return result.data,
preserving original signatures (str for sites 7,9; Optional[str] for site 8).
Existing tier4 tests pass (13/13 in test_tier4_patch_generation +
test_tier4_interceptor).
Audit: ai_client BC 3 -> 0. All 9 Phase 10 BC sites migrated.
Site L1990: inner _send(r_idx) in _send_gemini_cli had:
try: resp_data = adapter.send(...)
except Exception as e: events.emit('response_received', {'error': str(e)}); raise
This is Re-Raise Pattern 2 (catch + emit event + raise). Per TIER1_REVIEW,
the migration is to Result[T] because the audit does not yet recognize
events.emit as a structured error carrier.
New helper _send_cli_round_result(r_idx, adapter, payload, ...) -> Result[dict]:
- Emits request_start + [CLI] comms before SDK call
- Returns Result(data=resp_data) on SDK success
- On failure: emits response_received error event + returns Result(errors=[ErrorInfo(original=e)])
Inner _send refactored:
send_result = _send_cli_round_result(r_idx, adapter, payload, ...)
if not send_result.ok:
raise cast(Exception, send_result.errors[0].original)
resp_data = send_result.data
This preserves the original re-raise behavior so the outer
_send_gemini_cli try/except still catches and converts to Result.
Audit: ai_client BC 4 -> 3.
Site L1773: cache.create block in _send_gemini had multiple global side
effects (sets _gemini_cache, _gemini_cache_created_at, _gemini_cached_file_paths,
returns chat_config with cached_content). Except body reset globals on failure.
Per TIER1_REVIEW: logging is NOT a drain. MIGRATE to Result[Any].
New helper _create_gemini_cache_result(sys_instr, tools_decl, file_items) -> Result[Any]:
- Returns Result(data=chat_config) on SDK success (sets globals, logs [CACHE CREATED])
- Returns Result(data=None, errors=[ErrorInfo]) on SDK failure (resets globals,
logs [CACHE FAILED])
- Preserves original semantics: globals set on success, reset on failure
Caller:
cached_config_result = _create_gemini_cache_result(sys_instr, tools_decl, file_items)
if cached_config_result.ok:
chat_config = cached_config_result.data
Audit: ai_client BC 5 -> 4. _send_gemini cache-related BC sites all migrated.
Site L1732: count_tokens block in _send_gemini had:
try: count_resp = _gemini_client.models.count_tokens(...)
... set should_cache based on total_tokens ...
except Exception as e: _append_comms('[COUNT FAILED]')
Per TIER1_REVIEW: logging is NOT a drain. MIGRATE to Result[bool].
New helper _should_cache_gemini_result(sys_instr: str) -> Result[bool]:
- Result(data=True) if token count >= 2048
- Result(data=False) if below threshold + [CACHING SKIPPED] comms note
- Result(data=False, errors=[ErrorInfo]) on SDK failure + [COUNT FAILED] comms
Caller: should_cache = _should_cache_gemini_result(sys_instr).data
Audit: ai_client BC 6 -> 5. Site L1732 (now shifted to L1752) no longer BC.
Sites L1680 (cache.delete on context change) and L1692 (cache.delete on
TTL expiry) had identical patterns:
try: _gemini_client.caches.delete(name=_gemini_cache.name)
except Exception as e: _append_comms('OUT', 'request', {'message': f'[CACHE DELETE WARN] {e}'})
Per TIER1_REVIEW: logging is NOT a drain. MIGRATE to Result[T].
Single helper _delete_gemini_cache_result() -> Result[None]:
- Returns Result(data=None) on success
- Returns Result(data=None, errors=[ErrorInfo]) on SDK failure + logs warning to comms
- Caller (_send_gemini) ignores errors (best-effort cleanup)
Audit: ai_client BC 8 -> 6. Both sites migrated.
The original function had a broken pattern: 'raise _classify_gemini_error(exc)
from exc' which raises an ErrorInfo (not an Exception) — a runtime bug.
Per TIER1_REVIEW 2026-06-20 directive: per-site decision. The body raised a
structured error carrier (ErrorInfo), but the pattern was incorrect (ErrorInfo
is not an Exception). Cleanest fix: full Result[T] migration.
New helper:
- _list_gemini_models_result(api_key: str) -> Result[list[str]]
Returns Result(data=sorted_models) on success, Result(data=[], errors=[ErrorInfo])
on SDK/network failure.
Legacy wrapper:
- _list_gemini_models(api_key: str) -> list[str]
Returns result.data (preserves original signature; callers don't see errors).
Audit: ai_client BC 9 -> 8. Site L1594 (now shifted to L1609 due to helper insertion)
no longer in INTERNAL_BROAD_CATCH.
