修复 native Messages 多轮 prompt cache 只写不读。

  • 保留当前尾部断点,并给倒数第二个 user 写稳定断点
  • native query 不添加 system marker
  • 稳定归因头移除动态 cch / cc_workload
  • 已通过 typecheck、构建与缓存断点回归测试

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added native multi-slot message processing for headless runs, with streaming responses and support for job cancellation.
    • Added runtime configuration for system-prompt layouts, persona presets, time zones, and prompt-cache duration.
    • Native message requests now support caller-provided tools and sampling settings, including temperature, top-p, top-k, and stop sequences.
    • Updated prompt caching to support configurable durations and additional cache breakpoints.

CLI-side implementation of native_slot's stateless native_messages mode
(.trellis/tasks/08-30-native-slot-stateless). The CLI holds no tools,
agents, or cross-job state; Rust owns tool execution, continuation, and
cancellation, and each job is a single queryKinMessagesWithStreaming()
call that routes caller-supplied messages/system/tools/thinking/sampling
straight through the real queryModel pipeline (tools: [] +
extraToolSchemas).

- add queryKinMessagesWithStreaming() thin wrapper in services/api/claude.ts
- add nativeMessagesRunner.ts: idle -> running -> cancelling slot state
  machine, 7-step cancel protocol, wired into print.ts runHeadless()
- stdioProtocol v2: drop kin_hello/kin_tool_result/kin_job_parked,
  KinStdin is now kin_job_start | kin_cancel only
- main.tsx: skip stdin -p peek and MCP connect under
  CLAUDE_CODE_KIN_NATIVE_SLOTS (native pipe never EOFs)
- remove obsolete nativeSlotRunner.ts (protocol v1 / QueryEngine design)

Verified: bun run typecheck clean, bun run check (biome) clean, bun test
shows only pre-existing unrelated failures.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a native Messages slot runner with a stdio protocol and streaming API path. Runtime configuration selects prompt layouts and cache settings. When native slots are enabled, headless startup invokes the runner and bypasses regular connector setup.

Changes

Native Messages slot support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime configuration and system layout
src/kin/runtimeConfig.ts, src/kin/systemLayout.ts, src/kin/__tests__/runtimeConfig.test.ts
Reads and normalizes kernel configuration, selects prompt layouts and timezones, and builds system blocks. Tests cover refreshed configuration values, layout selection, and attribution fields.
Native Messages API and cache behavior
src/services/api/claude.ts, src/services/api/__tests__/claude-cache-breakpoints.test.ts
Adds a streaming API path for native Messages requests. Request construction supports runtime cache TTL and sampling options, and applies native-specific prompt caching and cache-breakpoint behavior.
Stdio protocol definitions
src/kin/stdioProtocol.ts
Defines protocol v2 frames, parsing, ordered writes, and slot identifiers.
Slot job and cancellation lifecycle
src/kin/nativeMessagesRunner.ts
Adds slot initialization, job dispatch, API stream forwarding, cancellation, and job completion or error messages.
Headless startup integration
src/cli/print.ts, src/main.tsx, package.json
Selects the native runner when native slots are enabled, skips stdin reads and regular connector setup in that mode, and increments the package version.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 69b7b

This change adds native Messages slot hosting and changes prompt-cache breakpoints for all requests. Several issues remain in the new native slot path:

  • A transient API retry ends the job with an error.
  • A real API failure can be reported as a successful completion.
  • The host process may keep running after its controller closes stdin.
    Outside native slots, regular multi-turn requests now add an extra cache breakpoint that can raise cache-write costs. These should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Call getSystemLayout() without arguments so the test covers the env override.

The test title says the kernel file overrides CLAUDE_CODE_SYSTEM_LAYOUT and KIN_SYSTEM_MODE. The test passes readKinRuntimeConfig() as the runtime argument. getSystemLayout returns runtime.system_layout on line 16 of src/kin/systemLayout.ts before it reads any env variable. The CLAUDE_CODE_KIN_NATIVE_SLOTS branch on line 17 is therefore never run. If that branch regresses, the test still passes.

Use one predicate for native slot mode. Several gates check whether CLAUDE_CODE_KIN_NATIVE_SLOTS is truthy. nativeSlotCount() parses the value and returns 0 for "0" or non-numeric values. With such a value, stdin is not read, MCP servers are not connected, and the normal headless flow is skipped. The native loop then exits at once, so the process does no work and gives no error. Export isNativeSlotMode = () => nativeSlotCount() > 0 and use it at every gate.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Shut down the process when the native loop ends.

runNativeMessagesLoop returns when the kernel closes stdin. This branch then returns without gracefulShutdownSync. The normal headless path always calls it. Change detectors and housekeeping timers started in src/main.tsx can keep the event loop alive, so the host process can outlive its kernel. Jobs still in flight also keep streaming to a closed pipe. Abort the active slots, wait for them, and then call gracefulShutdownSync(0).

🐛 Proposed fix
     await runNativeMessagesLoop({ options })
+    gracefulShutdownSync(0)
     return

Inside runNativeMessagesLoop, abort every slot.abort and await every slot.task after the for await loop ends.

Reject missing or null request values before starting the job.

parseStdinLine allows these frames through. runJob then reads request fields before its try, so it rejects before emitting kin_job_error. startJob resets the slot in .finally, and the installed unhandledRejection handler logs the rejection. The supported failure is the missing error frame, not a stuck slot or established host crash.

Ignore retry notices and report assistant API errors.

During a withRetry backoff, the query pipeline yields a system message. This branch reports it as a terminal job error and returns, preventing the retry from continuing. Non-abort API failures can arrive as assistant messages with isApiErrorMessage: true; the assistant branch ignores that flag and falls through to kin_job_done. Ignore retry system messages and emit kin_job_error for assistant API-error messages.

Remove SYSTEM_PROMPT_DYNAMIC_BOUNDARY from officialFullPrompt and skip the call for the stock layout.

getSystemPrompt inserts SYSTEM_PROMPT_DYNAMIC_BOUNDARY when shouldUseGlobalCacheScope() is true. layoutSystemBlocks joins officialFullPrompt into one text block. splitSysPromptPrefix then cannot find the marker, so the model receives the boundary sentinel as prompt text. This code also runs the expensive getSystemPrompt call when kinSystemLayout === 'stock', and that branch discards the result.

🐛 Proposed fix
   const kinSystemLayout = getSystemLayout(options.runtimeConfig)
   const officialFullPrompt =
-    options.personaPreset === 'official_full'
-      ? await getSystemPrompt([], options.model, [], [])
+    kinSystemLayout !== 'stock' && options.personaPreset === 'official_full'
+      ? (await getSystemPrompt([], options.model, [], [])).filter(
+          block => block !== SYSTEM_PROMPT_DYNAMIC_BOUNDARY,

If ... Automatic caching is the simplest way to enable prompt caching. Instead of placing `cache_control` on individual content blocks, add a single `cache_control` field at the top level of your request body.

If none is found, caching is skipped. ... For more control over caching, you can place `cache_control` directly on individual content blocks. This is useful when you need to cache different sections that change at different frequencies, or need fine-grained control over exactly what gets cached. ... You can use just one cache breakpoint at the end of your static content, and the system will automatically find the longest prefix that a prior request already wrote to the cache. Understanding how this works helps you optimize your caching strategy. ... 1. Cache writes happen only at your breakpoint. Marking a block with `cache_control` writes exactly one cache entry: a hash of the prefix ending at that block. The system does not write entries for any earlier position. Because the hash is cumulative, covering everything up to and including the breakpoint, changing any block at or before the breakpoint produces a different hash on the next request. ... Cache reads look backward ... system computes the prefix hash ... a matching cache entry ... walks backward one block at a time ... the prefix hash at each earlier position matches something already in the cache ... for stable content ... lookback window is 20 blocks. The system checks at most 20 positions per breakpoint, counting the breakpoint itself as the first. If the system finds no matching entry in that window, checking stops (or resumes from the next explicit breakpoint, if any). On the Claude API, a run of consecutive `tool_use` blocks counts as one position, and so does a run of consecutive `tool_result` blocks, so a turn with many parallel tool calls doesn&`#39`;t push the previous request&`#39`;s entry out of the window on its own. ... The lookback does not find stable content behind your breakpoint and cache it. It finds entries that prior requests already wrote, and writes happen only at breakpoints. Move `cache_control` to block 5, the last block that stays the same across requests, and every subsequent request reads the cached prefix.

Prompt caching reduces costs and latency by reusing previously processed portions of your prompt across API calls.

There are two ways to enable prompt caching: ... - Automatic caching: Add a single `cache_control` field at the top level of your request.

This is the recommended starting point for most use cases. - Explicit cache breakpoints: Place `cache_control` directly on individual content blocks for fine-grained control over exactly what gets cached. ... Prompt caching uses the following pricing multipliers relative to base input token rates: ... | Cache operation | Multiplier | Duration | | --- | --- | --- | | 5-minute cache write | 1.25x base input price | Cache valid for 5 minutes | | 1-hour cache write | 2x base input price | Cache valid for 1 hour | | Cache read (hit) | 0.1x base input price (0.025x on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1) | Same duration as the preceding write | ... Cache write tokens are charged when content is first stored. Cache read tokens are charged when a subsequent request retrieves the cached content. A cache hit costs 10% of the standard input price, which means caching pays off after one cache read for the 5-minute duration (1.25x write), or after two cache reads for the 1-hour duration (2x write). On Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1, a cache hit costs 2.5% of the standard input price ($0.25 USD per million tokens). ... These multipliers stack with other pricing modifiers, including the Batch API discount and data residency. ... ### How do discounts stack? ... Batch API and prompt caching discounts can be combined. For example, using both features together provides significant cost savings compared to standard API calls.

Limit the second message breakpoint to kin_native_messages.

When prompt caching is enabled and a non-native request has at least four messages and two user messages, addCacheBreakpoints adds a breakpoint to the penultimate user message. If that prefix is not already cached, this can create another cache entry and incur cache-write cost.
