"""Task-list planner for multi-step queries. Small models (gemma4:e2b class) don't reliably plan tool use turn-by-turn. They tend to: (a) stop after one tool call even when the query has two distinct sub-questions, (b) skip tools entirely and confabulate from training, or (c) feed the raw user utterance into a tool argument instead of composing a proper query against dialogue context and enriched memory. This module fixes that by running a single, cheap LLM pass at the top of the reply flow that emits a short ordered list of sub-tasks. The engine injects the plan into the system message and uses it to drive a progress-aware nudge after each tool result — so the model always has a concrete "what to do next" pointer instead of having to re-derive the multi-step shape from scratch every turn. Design principles: - Fail-open: if planning fails or times out, return an empty list and let the engine fall through to existing behaviour. - Cheap model chain: planner rides the router / intent-judge / chat model chain so it doesn't page in extra weights. - Dual mode: for LARGE models the plan is advisory — injected into the system message so the chat model can follow it. For SMALL models (`use_text_tools=True`) the engine calls `resolve_next_tool_call` to convert each planned step into a concrete tool call and dispatches it directly, bypassing the chat model for intermediate turns. The chat model still runs once for the final synthesis step. - Bounded: max 5 steps, single-clause strings, no nested JSON. - Language-agnostic: the prompt instructs the planner to emit steps in the same language the user spoke.
