A well-formed provider stream that ends with finish_reason stop and zero
content blocks previously became a successful empty assistant message: the
turn completed silently, and drivers like goal-session counted the no-op
round. Both adapters now map that degenerate completion to a finish
{kind:'error'} with the new canonical EMPTY_RESPONSE code from dsh-llm, and
dsh-llm-retry adds the code to its default retryable set, so the existing
closed-step recovery path retries it and fails loud once the budget is
exhausted.
Covered by adapter unit tests, an llm-retry default-policy test, and a new
authored keyless ACP snapshot (empty-response-retry) with a deterministic
1 ms zero-jitter retry overlay.
Document every context-window path returned by mapStopReason: recognized provider error wording, successful stop usage beyond the resolved window, and zero-output length stops that fill the window.
This keeps the public return contract aligned with usage-based overflow classification without duplicating the provider-specific detection table owned by pi-ai.
Pass each resolved catalog model capacity into pi-ai stream conversion so the upstream full-message classifier can recognize provider-specific, silent, and length-stop overflow signals. Retain the harness text fallback for legacy provider wording and cover the catalog-resolution path with a mock-provider regression.
