Summary

Fixes a bug where running an actor with --skill would ignore the options block in the actor YAML config, causing openai_api_base and openai_api_key to be silently dropped. This caused actors that correctly route to a local llama-swap/llama.cpp backend without --skill to fail with an OpenAI 401 when --skill was attached.

Closes #11243

Root Cause

PR #11225 (commit b3851693) added options-block forwarding to SimpleLLMAgent._resolve_llm() in stream_router.py. PR #11211 later introduced ToolCallingLLMCaller._resolve_llm() in tool_caller.py — the parallel resolution path used when tools are attached via --skill — but never ported that logic. As a result, the two paths diverged silently.

Changes

src/cleveragents/reactive/tool_caller.py

ToolCallingLLMCaller._resolve_llm(): ported the full options-block merging logic from SimpleLLMAgent._resolve_llm():

  • openai_api_key in options is extracted and forwarded as __api_key_sentinel (overrides env-sourced key in provider registry)
  • openai_api_base, timeout, top_p, frequency_penalty, presence_penalty from options are forwarded to create_llm() when not already set by a top-level config key (top-level takes precedence)
  • Reserved keys (provider_type, model_id) are rejected with logger.warning
  • Unknown keys are rejected with logger.warning citing allowed keys
  • Behaviour is now identical to SimpleLLMAgent._resolve_llm()

features/actor_run_tool_calling.feature

Added five BDD regression scenarios in section V (@tdd_issue @tdd_issue_11243):

  1. openai_api_base and openai_api_key forwarded from options block
  2. Allowed extra keys (timeout, top_p, frequency_penalty, presence_penalty) forwarded
  3. Reserved key provider_type rejected without TypeError
  4. Unknown key foo_bar not forwarded to create_llm()
  5. Top-level temperature takes precedence over options.temperature

features/steps/actor_run_tool_calling_steps.py

Added step definitions for the 5 new scenarios using patch("cleveragents.reactive.tool_caller.get_provider_registry") to capture create_llm() call kwargs.

## Summary Fixes a bug where running an actor with `--skill` would ignore the `options` block in the actor YAML config, causing `openai_api_base` and `openai_api_key` to be silently dropped. This caused actors that correctly route to a local llama-swap/llama.cpp backend without `--skill` to fail with an OpenAI 401 when `--skill` was attached. Closes #11243 ## Root Cause PR #11225 (commit `b3851693`) added options-block forwarding to `SimpleLLMAgent._resolve_llm()` in `stream_router.py`.

As a result, the two paths diverged silently. ## Changes ### `src/cleveragents/reactive/tool_caller.py` `ToolCallingLLMCaller._resolve_llm()`: ported the full options-block merging logic from `SimpleLLMAgent._resolve_llm()`: - `openai_api_key` in `options` is extracted and forwarded as `__api_key_sentinel` (overrides env-sourced key in provider registry) - `openai_api_base`, `timeout`, `top_p`, `frequency_penalty`, `presence_penalty` from `options` are forwarded to `create_llm()` when not already set by a top-level config key (top-level takes precedence) - Reserved keys (`provider_type`, `model_id`) are rejected with `logger.warning` - Unknown keys are rejected with `logger.warning` citing allowed keys - Behaviour is now identical to `SimpleLLMAgent._resolve_llm()` ### `features/actor_run_tool_calling.feature` Added five BDD regression scenarios in section **V** (`@tdd_issue @tdd_issue_11243`): 1. `openai_api_base` and `openai_api_key` forwarded from options block 2. Allowed extra keys (`timeout`, `top_p`, `frequency_penalty`, `presence_penalty`) forwarded 3. Reserved key `provider_type` rejected without TypeError 4.

Port the options-block merging logic from SimpleLLMAgent._resolve_llm()
(stream_router.py, added in PR #11225 / commit b3851693) to the parallel
resolution path ToolCallingLLMCaller._resolve_llm() in tool_caller.py.

Without this fix, running an actor with --skill would ignore the options
block in the actor YAML, causing openai_api_base and openai_api_key to be
silently dropped.  The provider registry then fell back to OPENAI_API_KEY
from the environment, routing requests to api.openai.com instead of the
configured local llama-swap/llama.cpp backend (HTTP 401).

Changes:
- tool_caller.ToolCallingLLMCaller._resolve_llm: read actor_config.options;
  extract openai_api_key -> __api_key_sentinel; forward allowed keys
  (openai_api_base, timeout, top_p, frequency_penalty, presence_penalty);
  reject reserved keys (provider_type, model_id) and unknown keys with
  logger.warning, matching SimpleLLMAgent behaviour exactly.
- features/actor_run_tool_calling.feature: add five BDD regression
  scenarios (section V, tagged @tdd_issue @tdd_issue_11243) covering
  api_base+key forwarding, allowed extra keys, reserved key rejection,
  unknown key rejection, and top-level precedence over options.
- features/steps/actor_run_tool_calling_steps.py: add corresponding step
  definitions for all five scenarios.

All nox quality gates pass (lint, typecheck, unit_tests 15822/0 fail,
integration_tests 1999/0 fail, coverage_report 97%).

Note: This PR contains both TDD and fix. To speed up the bug fixes, I decided to not have a dedicated PR for TDD test cases since it usually take days to get a PR merged in.
