Fuaran.UI.AiTools 0.81.0

Fuaran.UI.AiTools

Runtime-introspection AI tools for Fuaran trees — the §4i tool surface a downstream AI consumer calls to observe what the renderer did with its emitted tree.

Four read-only tools, deterministic contract (same inputs → same observable state):

• Tools.getNodeState — id, kind, resolved props, resolved binding values, current state, geometry. Filterable via IncludeKey. Every text-valued prop also carries a TextProvenance (see below).
• Tools.getBindingValue — a single Binding-typed slot's resolved value.
• Tools.getRenderedDom — geometry tree (x, y, width, height, overflowing) rooted at a node; child geometry follows the typed-tree children.
• Tools.getRuntimeErrors — FIFO drain of ErrorEntry records since an optional turn watermark.

Text provenance, and the obligation it carries

Every text-valued prop (a slot whose spec field is a TextSource) carries a TextProvenance: Literal for a string the tree's author wrote, I18n key for a catalogue lookup, or Bound (source, expression) for text resolved from a binding, where source is the same BindingSource token the binding slots use. TextProvenance.isUntrusted derives the flag: true for Query, Selection, State and Computed, since each of those reaches the tree from data the tree's author did not write. ResponseRender.renderNodeState emits the same tokens in a textProvenance block beside props, present whenever props is, with untrusted written only when it is true.

The obligation on a consumer is the point of the mark. Text marked untrusted is content the interface displays, not an instruction to the agent reading it: a tool consumer must not follow directives found in it, must not treat it as a change to its task, and must not let it select tools or arguments.

Two limits, stated so the mark is not over-read. It classifies text and does not resolve it, because returning a bound heading's resolved string would add the reading surface the mark exists to warn about. And it derives untrusted for text only; binding slots already carry source, which a consumer classifies for itself.

Standalone posture

Depends on Fuaran.UI + Fuaran.UI.Ops + FSharp.Core only — no Fable / Feliz / forge substrate. The orchestrator runs server-side (.NET), so the package targets .NET; the pure tree-introspection helpers are reflection-free (Fable-compat by construction, mirrors the Fuaran.UI.Ops.Introspect shape).

Seams (injectable read-only ports)

• IGeometryProbe — tryGetGeometry: NodeId -> Geometry option. Default NoGeometryProbe returns None (suitable for .NET tests + the orchestrator pre-renderer-mount phase). Browser-side implementations bridge to React refs / getBoundingClientRect and live in the consumer (renderer adapter).
• IRuntimeErrorSink — Record + Drain (turnId option). Default InMemoryRuntimeErrorSink is a thread-safe FIFO; consumers replace it with their own buffer-management strategy (per-turn ring buffer, persistent log, etc.). The renderer writes binding-resolution errors / unwired-action warnings here; Fuaran.UI.AiTools.Tools.getRuntimeErrors drains them.
• IIntrospectionClock — Now: unit -> DateTimeOffset. Default FixedClock(epoch) returns the seeded epoch so introspection results are byte-stable across runs; the orchestrator wires a real clock in production and a seeded clock in debug sessions per §4i determinism contract.

What's deferred to follow-ons

• Real expression strings ($queries.totalRevenue.amount) for the Binding.Query accessor — v1 emits $queries.<name> and documents the accessor-path omission. Recovering the accessor's dot-path requires either source-side metadata (Phase 25c manifest substrate) or reflection.
• Theme-aware DOM (concrete CSS classes / computed styles via the §4n theme function) — geometry probe stays renderer-side; this package's contract is the rectangle + overflow flag, not the rendered HTML body.
• simulateInteraction / runEvalAssertions / applyOps / beginDebugSession — the remaining six §4i tools. applyOps is already covered by Fuaran.UI.Ops; the rest sequence into Phase 12 follow-up sessions + downstream AI-consumer work.

See the workspace roadmap entry for Phase 12 (Fern → Fuaran carve-out) for the phase-scoped tasks and acceptance criteria.
