"""Multi-turn agent loop — Synaptic's measured-strongest retrieval mode.

Promoted from ``eval/run_all.py`` to a public module so applications can
use the same agent-loop machinery the benchmarks measure (custom Hard/
Conv: ``81 %`` mean solved across 6 benches with Qwen3.5-27B vLLM,
versus 0.30 mean MRR for single-shot retrieval on the same questions).

Why a separate module
---------------------
``graph.search()`` is a single-shot retrieval call that returns
candidates ranked by the EvidenceSearch pipeline. For Hard / Conv
queries — where a user asks several things at once, or the answer
requires combining facts from multiple nodes — single-shot caps out
at MRR ≈ 0.4. The agent loop turns retrieval into a *dialogue*: the
LLM picks a tool (search / expand / filter / etc.), reads the result,
decides what to do next. Measured outcome on the same corpora:
single-shot 0.000 → agent 91 % (assort Hard), 0.379 → 100 % (X2BEE
Hard).

This module exposes the loop as ``run_agent_loop`` and as a
:meth:`SynapticGraph.chat` convenience method, with the same
36 MCP tools the agent benchmark already uses (``deep_search``,
``compare_search``, ``filter_nodes``, ``aggregate_nodes``,
``join_related``, ``get_document``, ``expand``, ``follow``,
``search``).

Client requirements
-------------------
``client`` is any object exposing OpenAI-compatible
``chat.completions.create(model, messages, tools, max_tokens)``. Tested
with ``openai.AsyncOpenAI``; works with vLLM-OpenAI compatibility
endpoints (Qwen, Llama-style) and any other shim that implements the
same surface.

Usage::

    from openai import AsyncOpenAI
    from synaptic import SynapticGraph

    graph = await SynapticGraph.from_data("./my_corpus/")
    client = AsyncOpenAI(base_url="http://localhost:8012/v1", api_key="ollama")
    result = await graph.chat(
        "어떤 상품이 가장 인기인가?",
        llm_client=client,
        model="Qwen3.5-27b",
        max_turns=5,
    )
    print(result.final_answer)
    for n in result.nodes:
        print(n.title)

# single-hop questions even though deep_search already returned the answer-
# bearing snippet. Each tool round-trip is one serial LLM turn = the dominant
# latency cost, so cutting turns is the efficiency lever (turns_used is a
# deterministic count, measurable above the accuracy noise floor). Appended to
# the system prompt rather than edited in so it can be A/B'd cleanly.
_EFFICIENCY_DIRECTIVE = """\
Efficiency (each tool round-trip costs a full turn — minimise them)
===================================================================
- ``deep_search`` / ``search`` already return the answer-bearing SNIPPET for
  every hit. Read those snippets FIRST — they usually contain the answer. Call
  ``get_document`` ONLY when a snippet is cut off mid-fact, never to
  "double-check" a snippet that already states the answer.
- NEVER fetch documents one at a time across turns. If you truly need 2-3 full
  documents, request them together in ONE turn (parallel calls).
- The moment the snippets answer the question, STOP and give the final answer.
  Do not keep searching paraphrased variants for confirmation."""


AGENT_SYSTEM = """\
You are a research agent answering a user question by calling tools
that explore a knowledge graph.

Strategy
========
1. Start with ``deep_search`` for natural-language questions (it does
   search + expand + read in one call).
2. For structured queries (filter / aggregate / join / count) use the
   structured tools — they're cheaper and exact.
3. For multi-hop questions, chain tool calls: search → expand → search
   again with the new entity name.
4. Emit independent probes in parallel within a single turn — the
   tool-call protocol supports it and one round-trip is cheaper than
   five. A compound question ("X의 Y 와 Z") should plan the 2-3 calls
   it needs and send them together.
5. Stop calling tools as soon as you have enough evidence. Output a
   short final answer in the user's language.

Available tools
===============
- ``deep_search(query, category?)`` — first-pass for any free-text question
- ``search(query)`` — basic FTS, returns top candidates
- ``expand(node_id)`` — neighbours of a node (1-hop)
- ``follow(node_id, edge_kind)`` — typed-edge traversal
- ``get_document(doc_id, query?)`` — full document chunks
- ``filter_nodes(table, property, op, value, ...)`` — exact attribute filter
- ``aggregate_nodes(table, group_by, metric, ...)`` — count / sum / avg
- ``top_nodes(table, sort_by, order="desc", limit=5, ...)`` — top/bottom rows by a column in a single call (use this for "가장 X한", "top N", "최대/최소", "최근" questions — no need to compose aggregate_nodes).
- ``join_related(from_value, fk_property, target_table, ...)`` — FK join

Tips
====
- If a search returns 0 results in Korean, try the English term — corpora
  often mix scripts (e.g. "치즈" → 0, "cheese" → many).
- **English paraphrase / category-like queries → use ``search`` / ``deep_search``
  FIRST, never ``filter_nodes(op="==")``.** Phrases like "portable computing
  device", "facial skincare product", "wireless headphones" are paraphrases
  of product names — they are NOT column values. The ``goods_nm`` / ``product_name``
  columns hold concrete brand+model strings, so an equality filter will return
  empty. Vector retrieval (``search`` / ``deep_search``) is the correct path
  for any English-only query without an exact identifier (price, date, code,
  brand name). Fall back to structured tools only if search returns 0.
- For "top N" / "most" / "least" questions, use ``top_nodes(table,
  sort_by, order, limit)`` — one tool call returns the ranked rows
  complete with node_title and ID, ready to chain into ``join_related``
  or ``get_document``. ``aggregate_nodes`` is still the right answer
  for "per-X counts" / bucketed summaries.
- Prefer concrete IDs over titles when chaining tools.
- **Relative time references** ("올해" / "내년도" / "this year" / "next year"):
  do NOT inject a specific year number into the search query — the corpus
  may span multiple years, and a literal "2024" filter throws away all
  other matches. Search the topic without the year first; only narrow by
  year if the topic search returns too many candidates AND you have evidence
  the user wants a specific year.
- **"X 관련 자료 / 내용 / 정보" type questions** ask for *multiple* sources.
  After the first ``deep_search`` returns a few hits, do at least one more
  ``search`` with paraphrased keywords before concluding. A single document
  is rarely the complete answer to such a request.
- **Follow-up searches must preserve the user's constraints.** Do not collapse
  a specific question into a vague one-word query ("hives", "bsrn",
  "operational"). Keep the named entity, attribute, and relation that make the
  question answerable ("hives pregnancy sign", "BSRN bachelor's degree duration",
  "Disneyland operating cost"). Short generic retries waste turns and drift away
  from the gold evidence.
- **"List all" / enumeration questions** ("X 목록", "X 상품 전체", "list all X")
  need the COMPLETE set. Raise the ``limit`` on ``filter_nodes`` / ``top_nodes``
  (e.g. 100) rather than the default 20. The GT for these patterns often
  has 5-10 specific rows; a narrow retry loop misses them.
- **When a tool returns a ``hints`` array, read it before guessing.**
  Each hint is a concrete corrective action (different operator, dropped
  WHERE, alternative column, query rewrite). Follow the first relevant hint
  before reissuing a near-identical query — that is what wastes turns."""
