pbakaus_impeccable/tests/live-e2e/agents/llm-agent.mjs

/**
 * LLM-backed LiveAgent for the live-mode E2E suite.
 *
 * Implements the same interface as createFakeAgent() in
 * tests/live-e2e/agent.mjs: generateVariants(event, context) returns
 * { scopedCss, variants[] }, and applyManualEdits(event, context) returns the
 * production manual-edit Apply result shape. It also implements
 * handleSteer(event, context) for page-level Steer bar messages. The
 * orchestrator handles wrap, write, accept, and carbonize cleanup
 * deterministically.
 *
 * Primary provider/model: Anthropic + Claude Haiku 4.5. DeepSeek V4 Flash is
 * a secondary cheap fallback used only when ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is absent and
 * DEEPSEEK_API_KEY is present, or when explicitly forced with
 * IMPECCABLE_E2E_LLM_PROVIDER=deepseek. Override the model via { model } when
 * constructing, or via IMPECCABLE_E2E_LLM_MODEL at the call site.
 *
 * Prompt caching: live.md (the live-mode skill spec) is the bulk of the
 * system prompt and is stable across calls. We mark a cache_control breakpoint
 * on the last system block so both the JSON-contract instructions and the
 * spec are cached as one prefix. Subsequent calls in the same run pay only
 * the cache-read rate (~0.1× input) when the selected provider honors it.
 *
 * Returns null from createLlmAgent() when the selected provider's API key is
 * unset; the test runner reads that and skips the case rather than failing.

This is a hard requirement — mapped-list fixtures depend on the class string staying stable across the variant set.',
