From 73d9e68447fa5cbe983c8c437c5df0c68c803ad1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: George Ng Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 18:36:15 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Fix intermediate action-result handoff and deferred requests Separate optional entity names from concrete result values and deferred translation context. Preserve completed outputs without replaying producers, reject missing or invalid consumers, and add offline regressions.
