=== Assistant: Useful appendices still left in roughly the order I’d write them: ===
Useful appendices still left (in roughly the order I’d write them):

===== Step-by-step pseudo-code for: =====
* detecting native tool_calls
* invoking ToolRunner
* appending tool results
* regenerating BIOS (budget decrement)
* continuing generation
* fallback parsing path
* how exit-tools are recorded alongside without affecting control flow

Why useful: this is the trickiest “logic core” and easiest place for subtle bugs.

===== Not required for correctness (since they’re provided at init), but useful to standardize: =====
* suggested minimal fields (code/severity/summary/meta)
* decision-request structure (options list)
* how orchestrator should interpret/route signals
* example tool definitions

Why useful: keeps model behavior consistent across many workers/models.

===== Explicit algorithm for: =====
* when to restart (process death vs probe failures vs stall)
* backoff schedule
* “lockout” criteria
* how to fail in-flight requests while preserving output
* what transitions worker state takes

Why useful: prevents “accidental thrash” and makes tests straightforward.

===== Concrete method for /proc/<pid>/stat CPU time delta: =====
* what fields to read
* how to compute deltas using monotonic time
* probe interval and overhead
* what counts as “evidence of life”

Why useful: your long-prefill workloads depend on getting this right.

===== Define: =====
* ring buffer size default
* what gets logged (start/stop/restart reasons, request lifecycle events)
* correlation keys (worker_name, job_name, request_id)
* minimal structured event list

Why useful: you’ll debug fleets; this saves time.

===== A concrete test matrix and the stub “fake llama-server” behaviors: =====
* slow headers
* long silence then stream
* mid-stream disconnect
* tool call emission
* exit-tool emission
* server crash / restart

Why useful: ensures the “robustness first” goal is actually enforced.

===== A few example worker configs: =====
* small fast model worker
* big slow model worker
* tool-enabled worker
* multi-slot worker

Why useful: helps the orchestrator author configure workers consistently.

If you want to keep it lean, I’d do G, I, J, L as the “must-haves”, and treat the rest as nice-to-have documentation.
