-# Production Gotchas: Billing, Determinism & Performance
-Credit consumption, lifecycle hooks, determinism patterns, and performance guardrails in Agentforce.
----
-
-## Credit Consumption Table
-
-| Operation | Credits | Notes |
-|-----------|---------|-------|
-| `@utils.transition` | FREE | Framework navigation |
-| `@utils.setVariables` | FREE | Framework state management |
-| `@utils.escalate` | FREE | Framework escalation |
-| `if`/`else` control flow | FREE | Deterministic resolution |
-| `before_reasoning` | FREE | Deterministic pre-processing (see note below) |
-| `after_reasoning` | FREE | Deterministic post-processing (see note below) |
-| `reasoning` (LLM turn) | FREE | LLM reasoning itself is not billed |
-| Prompt Templates | 2-16 | Per invocation (varies by complexity) |
-| Flow actions | 20 | Per action execution |
-| Apex actions | 20 | Per action execution |
-| Any other action | 20 | Per action execution |
-
-The `before_reasoning:` and `after_reasoning:` lifecycle hooks are validated. Content goes **directly** under the block (no `instructions:` wrapper). See "Lifecycle Hooks" section below for correct syntax.
-
-### Cost Optimization Pattern
-
-Fetch data once in `before_reasoning:`, cache in variables, reuse across subagents.
-
-## Lifecycle Hooks
-
-```yaml
-subagent main:
-   description: "Subagent with lifecycle hooks"
-
-   # BEFORE: Runs deterministically BEFORE LLM sees instructions
-   before_reasoning:
-      # Content goes DIRECTLY here (NO instructions: wrapper!)
-      set @variables.pre_processed = True
-      set @variables.customer_tier = "gold"
-
-   # LLM reasoning phase
-   reasoning:
-      instructions: ->
-         | Customer tier: {!@variables.customer_tier}
-         | How can I help you today?
-
-   # AFTER: Runs deterministically AFTER LLM finishes reasoning
-   after_reasoning:
-      # Content goes DIRECTLY here (NO instructions: wrapper!)
-      set @variables.interaction_logged = True
-      if @variables.needs_audit == True:
-         set @variables.audit_flag = True
-```
-
-**Key Points:**
-- Content goes **directly** under `before_reasoning:` / `after_reasoning:` (NO `instructions:` wrapper)
-- Reliable primitives: `set`, `if`/`else`, `transition to`. `run` has inconsistent runtime behavior across bundle types — use it in `reasoning.actions:` or `instructions: ->` instead
-- `before_reasoning:` is FREE (no credit cost) - use for data prep
-- `after_reasoning:` is FREE (no credit cost) - use for logging, cleanup
-- `transition to` works in `after_reasoning:` — but if a subagent transitions mid-reasoning, the original subagent's `after_reasoning:` does NOT run
-
-**❌ WRONG Syntax (causes compile error):**
-```yaml
-before_reasoning:
-   instructions: ->      # ❌ NO! Don't wrap with instructions:
-      set @variables.x = True
-```
-
-**✅ CORRECT Syntax:**
-```yaml
-before_reasoning:
-   set @variables.x = True   # ✅ Direct content under the block
-```
-
-## Supervision vs Handoff
-
-| Term | Syntax | Behavior | Use When |
-|------|--------|----------|----------|
-| **Handoff** | `@utils.transition to @subagent.X` | Control transfers completely, child generates final response | Checkout, escalation, terminal states |
-| **Supervision** | `@subagent.X` (as action reference) | Parent orchestrates, child returns, parent synthesizes | Expert consultation, sub-tasks |
-
-```yaml
-# HANDOFF - child subagent takes over completely:
-checkout: @utils.transition to @subagent.order_checkout
-   description: "Proceed to checkout"
-# → @subagent.order_checkout generates the user-facing response
-
-# SUPERVISION - parent remains in control:
-get_advice: @subagent.product_expert
-   description: "Consult product expert"
-# → @subagent.product_expert returns, parent subagent synthesizes final response
-```
-
-**KNOWN BUG**: Adding ANY new action in Canvas view may inadvertently change Supervision references to Handoff transitions.
-
-## Action Output Flags for Zero-Hallucination Routing
-
-Control what the LLM can see and say.
-
-When defining actions in Agentforce Assets, use these output flags:
-
-| Flag | Effect | Use When |
-|------|--------|----------|
-| `filter_from_agent: True` | LLM **cannot** show this value to user | Preventing hallucinated responses (GA standard) |
-| `is_used_by_planner: True` | LLM **can** reason about this value | Decision-making, routing |
-
-**Zero-Hallucination Intent Classification Pattern:**
-```yaml
-# In Agentforce Assets - Action Definition outputs:
-outputs:
-   intent_classification: string
-      filter_from_agent: True     # LLM cannot show this to user (GA standard)
-      is_used_by_planner: True    # LLM can use for routing decisions
-
-# In Agent Script - LLM routes but cannot hallucinate:
-subagent intent_router:
-   reasoning:
-      instructions: ->
-         run @actions.classify_intent
-         set @variables.intent = @outputs.intent_classification
-
-         if @variables.intent == "refund":
-            transition to @subagent.refunds
-         if @variables.intent == "order_status":
-            transition to @subagent.orders
-```
-
-## Action I/O Metadata Properties
-
-Complete reference for all metadata properties available on action definitions, inputs, and outputs.
-
-**Action-Level Properties:**
-
-| Property | Type | Effect |
-|----------|------|--------|
-| `label` | String | Display name in UI |
-| `description` | String | LLM reads this for decision-making |
-| `require_user_confirmation` | Boolean | Request user confirmation before execution (compiles; runtime no-op per Issue 6) |
-| `include_in_progress_indicator` | Boolean | Show spinner during execution |
-| `progress_indicator_message` | String | Custom spinner text |
-
-**Input Properties:**
-
-| Property | Type | Effect |
-|----------|------|--------|
-| `description` | String | Explains parameter to LLM |
-| `label` | String | Display name in UI |
-| `is_required` | Boolean | Marks input as mandatory for LLM |
-| `is_user_input` | Boolean | LLM extracts value from conversation |
-| `complex_data_type_name` | String | Lightning type mapping |
-
-**Output Properties:**
-
-| Property | Type | Effect |
-|----------|------|--------|
-| `description` | String | Explains output to LLM |
-| `label` | String | Display name in UI |
-| `filter_from_agent` | Boolean | `True` = hide from user display (GA standard) |
-| `is_displayable` | Boolean | `False` = hide from user (compile-valid alias) |
-| `is_used_by_planner` | Boolean | `True` = LLM can reason about value |
-| `developer_name` | String | Overrides the parameter's developer name |
-| `complex_data_type_name` | String | Lightning type mapping |
-
-`filter_from_agent: True` is the GA standard name. `is_displayable: False` is a compile-valid alias.
-
-### User Input Pattern
-
-With `is_user_input: True`:
-```yaml
-inputs:
-   customer_name: string
-      description: "Customer's full name"
-      is_user_input: True    # LLM pulls from what user already said
-      is_required: True      # Must have a value before action executes
-```
-
-## Action Chaining with `run` Keyword
-
-Parent action may complain about inputs needed by chained action - this is expected.
-
-```yaml
-process_order: @actions.create_order
-   with customer_id = @variables.customer_id
-   run @actions.send_confirmation        # Chains after create_order completes
-   set @variables.order_id = @outputs.id
-```
-
-KNOWN BUG: Chained actions with Prompt Templates don't properly map inputs using `Input:Query` format.
-
-For prompt template action definitions, input binding syntax, and grounded data patterns, see [Action Prompt Templates](action-prompt-templates.md).
-
-## Latch Variable Pattern for Subagent Re-entry
-
-Subagent router doesn't properly re-evaluate after user provides missing input. Use a "latch" variable to force re-entry:
-
-```yaml
-variables:
-   verification_in_progress: mutable boolean = False
-
-start_agent agent_router:
-   reasoning:
-      instructions: ->
-         if @variables.verification_in_progress == True:
-            transition to @subagent.verification
-         | How can I help you today?
-      actions:
-         start_verify: @subagent.verification
-            description: "Start identity verification"
-            set @variables.verification_in_progress = True
-
-subagent verification:
-   reasoning:
-      instructions: ->
-         | Please provide your email to verify your identity.
-      actions:
-         verify: @actions.verify_identity
-            with email = ...
-            set @variables.verified = @outputs.success
-            set @variables.verification_in_progress = False
-```
-
-## Loop Protection Guardrail
-
-Agent Scripts have a built-in guardrail that limits iterations to approximately **3-4 loops** before breaking out and returning to the Subagent Router.
-
-**Best Practice**: Map out your execution paths and test for unintended circular references between subagents.
-
-## Token & Size Limits
-
-| Limit Type | Value | Notes |
-|------------|-------|-------|
-| Max response size | 1,048,576 bytes (1MB) | Per agent response |
-| Plan trace limit (Frontend) | 1M characters | For debugging UI |
-| Transformed plan trace (Backend) | 32k tokens | Internal processing |
-| Active/Committed Agents per org | 100 max | Org limit |
-
-## Progress Indicators
-
-```yaml
-actions:
-   fetch_data: @actions.get_customer_data
-      description: "Fetch customer information"
-      include_in_progress_indicator: True
-      progress_indicator_message: "Fetching your account details..."
-```
-
-## VS Code Pull/Push NOT Supported
-
-```bash
-# ❌ ERROR when using source tracking:
-Failed to retrieve components using source tracking:
-[SfError [UnsupportedBundleTypeError]: Unsupported Bundle Type: AiAuthoringBundle
-
-# ✅ WORKAROUND - Use CLI directly:
-sf project retrieve start --json -m AiAuthoringBundle:MyAgent
-sf agent publish authoring-bundle --json --api-name MyAgent -o TARGET_ORG
-```
-
-## `@inputs` Scope Lifecycle (Silent Failure)
-
-`@inputs` is only available in `with` directives during action invocation. Using `@inputs` in a post-action `set` causes **silent runtime failure** — the action executes but the `set` silently drops, leaving the variable unchanged. No trace error; the FunctionStep shows no output capture.
-
-```agentscript
-# WRONG — silent failure, @inputs out of scope after action executes
-run @actions.get_station_status
-    with station_name = ...
-    set @variables.station = @inputs.station_name   # FAILS SILENTLY
-
-# RIGHT — use @outputs (if action echoes the value) or capture input before the call
-set @variables.station = @variables.selected_station  # capture before
-run @actions.get_station_status
-    with station_name = @variables.station
-    set @variables.status = @outputs.status           # @outputs is valid here
-```
-
-**Diagnosis:** A FunctionStep that completes with no output capture (set directives dropped) indicates an `@inputs` scope violation. The action succeeds — only the assignment fails.
-
-Similarly, `@outputs` is only available in `set` and `if` directives immediately following the action invocation — not in instructions, pipe lines, or later actions.
-
-## Reserved `@InvocableVariable` Keywords
-
-Certain common words cannot be used as `@InvocableVariable` names in Apex classes called by Agent Script. Using them causes "SyntaxError: Unexpected '{keyword}'" during agent script compilation. (Validated March 2026)
-
-**Reserved names (cannot use as `@InvocableVariable`):**
-
-| Reserved Name | Workaround | Example |
-|---------------|------------|---------|
-| `model` | `vehicle_model`, `data_model`, `model_name` | `@InvocableVariable public String vehicle_model;` |
-| `description` | `issue_description`, `desc_text`, `description_field` | `@InvocableVariable public String issue_description;` |
-| `label` | `label_text`, `display_label`, `label_field` | `@InvocableVariable public String label_text;` |
-
-**How it manifests:**
-- Apex compiles and deploys successfully (these are valid Apex identifiers)
-- Error only appears when the Agent Script compiler processes the action's I/O schema
-- Error message: `SyntaxError: Unexpected 'model'` (or `description`, `label`)
-- Fix: Rename the `@InvocableVariable` in Apex, redeploy, then republish the agent
-
-## Language Block Quirks
-
-- Hebrew and Indonesian appear **twice** in the language dropdown
-- Selecting from the second set causes save errors
-- Use `adaptive_response_allowed: True` for automatic language adaptation
