"""Regression guard for #14782: json.JSONDecodeError must not be classified as a local validation error by the main agent loop. `json.JSONDecodeError` inherits from `ValueError`. The agent loop's non-retryable classifier at run_agent.py treats `ValueError` / `TypeError` as local programming bugs and skips retry. Without an explicit carve-out, a transient provider hiccup (malformed response body, truncated stream, routing-layer corruption) that surfaces as a JSONDecodeError would bypass the retry path and fail the turn immediately. This test mirrors the exact predicate shape used in run_agent.py so that any future refactor of that predicate must preserve the invariant: JSONDecodeError → NOT local validation error (retryable) UnicodeEncodeError → NOT local validation error (surrogate path) bare ValueError → IS local validation error (programming bug) bare TypeError → IS local validation error (programming bug) """ from __future__ import annotations import json def _mirror_agent_predicate(err: BaseException) -> bool: """Exact shape of run_agent.py's is_local_validation_error check.
