+# CORTEX_REASONING_EXHAUST_BACKOFF / CORTEX_REASONING_EXHAUST_BACKOFF_TURNS — R153 HB-REASONING-EXHAUSTION (4.109.0, 2026-09-16). The
+# tb4-flash-v3 sweep found 58 assistant turns in 23 of 63 sessions (a21h 8/7, a21l 4/4) that ended at EXACTLY 65536 output tokens with
+# 100-180K chars of reasoning, no text, no tool call — 3.8M output tokens burned — every one logged as reasoning_only_active and
+# nudged "take your next action", which re-ran the same derivation into the cap again; after 3 the turn ended (coq-block-bound: over at
+# iteration 10 with 97% of 8 h left). ROOT CAUSE: both tool loops passed the TURN'S FIRST stop reason to the empty-response classifier,
+# so the D-E `truncated` carve-out never saw a continuation's finish_reason=length (plus the streaming reassembly hardcoded stop/tool_calls).
+# FIX: lastStopReason is refreshed per response; streamed finish_reason survives; a truncated reasoning-only turn now (a) gets an
+# exhaustion nudge that says the budget was wasted and to act, and (b) arms BACKOFF: the next TURNS continuations (default 2) run one
+# reasoning-effort level lower (max/high → medium → low; repeat exhaustion steps down again); event kind reasoning_exhaustion
+# {iteration, outputTokens, from, level, turns}. Precedence: backoff > effort pulse > request param > card. 'false' keeps the nudge but not
+# the backoff. Streaming loop: the finish_reason=length break is now a warn (the truncation path handles it).

+# ReadImage, and DeepSeek answered the next continuation with `400 .messages[290].image[0]: You have uploaded an unsupported image`;
+# the exception escaped after the tool batch, the already-executed guard left the loop, and the R29a synthesis failed on the same block —
+# session over at iteration 133 (43 min of 8 h). Now `orchestrator/imageRejectionHeal.ts` recognises the rejection (4xx + image wording),
+# stubs every user-side image block with a re-encode instruction, and the non-streaming continuation / empty-retry / R29a calls retry the
+# rebuilt request once (event image_rejection_heal {stripped, label, reason}). Streaming loop not healed (chunk-iteration surface).

+# one — the banked trajectory starts mid-session. When the state dir resolves to <project>/.cortex and <project>/.git exists, the runtime-
+# state paths (sessions/, artifacts/, training/, decisions.jsonl, memory/, projects/, .write-probe-*) are appended ONCE to .git/info/exclude

+# trajectory frozen. The Bash child shell now writes 1000 to /proc/self/oom_score_adj before the command (foreground and background
+# spawns; every descendant inherits it), so the kernel prefers the model's process over the orchestrator and the model sees "Killed" in the
+# tool result instead of the session vanishing. Linux only; best-effort; default on; 'false' = byte-identical command composition.
