Reconcile (add / add_extracted): when the reconcile model call fails,
returns an empty 200 reply or an unparseable reply, or reconcile raises
before anything is stored, the write no longer falls back to adding every
extracted memory as-is with success=true. The ADD-all fallback and its
degraded flags are removed. The write returns success=false,
agent_error_code=RECONCILE_FAILED and the cause in reconcile_error_code
(LLM_UNAVAILABLE / EMPTY_RESPONSE / JSON_PARSE_FAILED /
RECONCILE_EXCEPTION). Nothing new is stored, the episode counter does not
advance, and add rolls back its L1 raw (retry_safe=true), so a re-run with
a new request_id is clean. Only a literal [] still means "no changes".
RECONCILE_ENABLED=false keeps writing directly.
Working / coding path: an extraction model failure (LLM_ERROR,
EMPTY_RESPONSE, JSON_PARSE_FAILED) and an experience or fact embedding
failure (EMBEDDING_FAILED) now return success=false instead of success
with 0 ops or a node without a vector. Embeddings are computed before the
SQLite row is written and before an older fact is superseded. A failed
write does not append its trace or record chain rounds. A model that
answers with nothing to remember is still a success.
