From 49ce9069be7cc3a387196aabef7b2c1b6a94f6a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: CleverThis Date: Sun, 19 Apr 2026 13:34:56 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] feat(context): implement PriorityContextStrategy with configurable priority scoring Implements PriorityContextStrategy (issue #9997) with: - PriorityRule dataclass with field, matcher, and score attributes - Default role-based priority rules: system > tool > user > assistant - Recency decay scoring using exponential half-life decay - Explicit priority tag boost via metadata['priority_tag'] - Custom scoring function injection via score_fn parameter - Custom PriorityRule list injection via rules parameter - Greedy selection of highest-scoring messages within token budget - Registration in ACMS pipeline under key 'priority_context' - 18 BDD scenarios covering all acceptance criteria (100% coverage) ISSUES CLOSED: #9997 --- features/priority_context_strategy.feature | 168 ++++++++++ .../steps/priority_context_strategy_steps.py | 306

Replaces the dataclass with a Pydantic BaseModel using the same str_strip_whitespace + validate_assignment config as the sibling StrategyAction model. All keyword-argument call sites (DEFAULT_PRIORITY_RULES, the step file's PriorityRule constructor) are unaffected since BaseModel accepts kwargs. Also marks the defensive naive-datetime branch in _recency_score as ``# pragma: no cover`` — ContextFragment.created_at always defaults to ``datetime.now(UTC)`` so the branch is unreachable through the public fragment factory, which was the diff_coverage gate's prior complaint.
