## Ideas
### Executable preparation handles
Allow a consumer to prepare one exact execution, inspect and retain its
caller-owned preparation details, and later execute that already-prepared work
without reloading or rerendering prompt, profile, schema, or input sources.
This would remove the duplicate `Prepare`-then-`Run` workaround reported by
[Notarius](notarius-promptkit-wishlist.md#priority-1-atomic-execution-with-prepared-details)
and
[Weatherreporter](weatherreporter-promptkit-wishlist.md#priority-1-executable-preparation-handles).
- Keep the handle opaque, engine-bound, non-serializable, and initially
one-shot.
- Keep existing `Prepare` and `Run` workflows available.
- Return public preparation details under existing caller-ownership and
credential-redaction rules.
- Perform backend admission when execution begins rather than reserving
capacity while a consumer retains the prepared handle.
- Treat a separate atomic detailed-run method as possible later convenience
rather than a second initial execution model.
Executable preparation handles have been selected for active planning in the
[focused feature roadmap](prepared-execution.md). The remaining ideas are
still available for future selection.

# Local Backend Convenience Implementation Plan
# Executable Preparation Handles Implementation Plan
**Status:** Complete.
**Status:** Accepted.
## Purpose
This document is the decision-complete implementation plan for
[local backend convenience](local-backend.md). It is written for a coding
agent that will implement each stage in order.
[executable preparation handles](prepared-execution.md). It is written for a
coding agent that will implement each stage in order.
The feature roadmap owns the motivation, consumer paths, policy choices,
The feature roadmap owns the motivation, consumer workflow, policy choices,
compatibility requirements, non-goals, and target end state. This document
owns the exact proposed API, file-level changes, implementation sequence, test
owns the concrete design, file-level changes, implementation sequence, test
ownership, documentation work, validation commands, and completion gates.
## Implementation Rules
- Complete the stages in order. Keep the root package compiling and its
focused tests passing at every stage boundary.
- Preserve unrelated working-tree changes. The feature roadmap may already be
uncommitted when implementation begins; retain it.
- Complete the stages in order. Keep the repository compiling and the focused
tests passing at every stage boundary.
- Preserve unrelated working-tree changes. In particular, retain the accepted
roadmap and the downstream wishlist and future-roadmap edits that may
already be present.
- Follow every policy under `docs/policy/`, the task-specific reading guide in
`docs/development.md`, and the accepted behavior in
`local-backend.md`.
- Keep the API in the root `promptkit` package. Do not add a public or internal
package for this feature.
- Implement the helper as a transparent constructor for the existing
`Backend` type. Do not add a second backend representation or bypass
`WithBackend`.
- Leave normalization, validation, copying, registry construction, capacity
defaulting, and duplicate detection in their existing owners.
- Do not add environment-variable discovery, package-global registration,
implicit local defaults, model selection, profile construction, or support
for non-OpenAI-compatible transports.
- Keep tests lean and behavior-focused. Do not duplicate the existing
registry and concurrency test matrices merely because the constructor
reaches those mechanisms.
- Update exact GoDoc with the exported declarations. Update current-state
consumer guidance only after the corresponding API is implemented.
- Do not update release notes, create a release, change a module version, or
tag a commit as part of this work.
`prepared-execution.md`.
- Keep the supported API in the root `promptkit` package. Internal lifecycle,
validation, and execution state must remain below Go's `internal/`
boundary.
- Preserve the observable behavior and ordering of existing `Engine.Prepare`
and `Engine.Run`. Do not implement the new workflow by redefining either
existing method in terms of the new public methods.
- Reuse preparation and post-preparation execution mechanics where their
ordering is genuinely shared. Preserve `Run`'s existing early admission
boundary while ensuring `PrepareExecution` performs complete preparation
without admission.
- Do not add durable serialization, retries, provider failover, background
workers, a task queue, capacity reservation during preparation, or
consumer-specific persistence and redaction policy.
- Keep direct API-key values in private execution state only. Every public
details value, formatted handle, JSON value, result, hash, and error must
remain credential-free.
- Keep tests lean but give durable coverage to the public compatibility,
security, concurrency, one-attempt, source-snapshot, cancellation, and
capacity invariants. Use real internal collaborators where they are fast and
deterministic and fakes at model-generation and synchronization boundaries.
- Update exact GoDoc with exported declarations. Update current-state
consumer and internal documentation only after the corresponding behavior
exists.
- Do not add release notes, change a module version, create a release, or tag
a commit as part of this work.
## Fixed Design
### Exported API
### Public API
Add these declarations to `backends.go` in package `promptkit`:
Add an opaque root-package type and these methods:
```go
// BackendLocal is the conventional ID used by LocalBackend. It is not a
// built-in or reserved backend and must be registered with WithBackend.
const BackendLocal = "local"
type PreparedExecution struct {
// Unexported Promptkit-owned state only.
}
// LocalBackend returns a Backend for a conventional local OpenAI-compatible
// endpoint.
func LocalBackend(endpoint string, concurrencyLimit int) Backend {
return Backend{
ID: BackendLocal,
Endpoint: endpoint,
ConcurrencyLimit: concurrencyLimit,
}
func (e *Engine) PrepareExecution(
ctx context.Context,
req RunRequest,
) (*PreparedExecution, error)
func (p *PreparedExecution) Details() PreparedRun
func (p *PreparedExecution) Discard()
func (e *Engine) RunPrepared(
ctx context.Context,
prepared *PreparedExecution,
) (*RunResult, error)
```
Place the public handle and its handle-local methods in a new root file named
`prepared_execution.go`. Keep the two engine operations in `engine.go` beside
`Prepare` and `Run` so all engine workflows remain discoverable together.
`PreparedExecution` must contain no exported fields. It wraps one pointer to
Promptkit-owned internal state; copying the public struct therefore preserves
one shared lifecycle rather than creating another execution opportunity.
Implement both:
```go
func (p *PreparedExecution) String() string
func (p *PreparedExecution) GoString() string
```
with a constant credential- and content-free representation such as
`promptkit.PreparedExecution{opaque}`. These methods must not branch on,
inspect, or format retained execution state. Do not add a custom JSON
representation: with no exported fields, ordinary JSON encoding exposes no
state, and JSON is explicitly outside the handle contract.
The exact GoDoc must own these behaviors:
- `PrepareExecution` performs complete preparation but no model call and no
backend-capacity admission;
- the handle is bound to the creating engine and permits one
`RunPrepared` invocation;
- `Details` returns a fresh caller-owned, credential-redacted copy on every
call and remains usable after discard or execution;
- `Discard` is nil-safe and idempotent, invalidates an unclaimed handle, and
is not an execution-cancellation mechanism;
- `RunPrepared` atomically consumes the one attempt before credential
revalidation, admission, generation, or validation;
- lifecycle misuse matches `ErrInvalidRequest`, while a nil engine matches
`ErrInvalidConfig`;
- an operational execution error returns no partial `RunResult`;
- the `RunPrepared` context does not inherit from the preparation context and
governs the execution attempt; and
- handles are opaque in-process values, not serializable or restartable jobs.
For a nil or zero-value handle, `Details` returns a zero `PreparedRun` and
`Discard` does nothing. A nil, zero-value, foreign-engine, discarded,
claimed, or used handle passed to `RunPrepared` returns an error matching
`ErrInvalidRequest`.
### Internal Validation Snapshot
Extend `internal/validate/validator.go` with two internal interfaces:
```go
// PreparedValidation validates artifacts against one frozen output contract.
type PreparedValidation interface {
Validate(
ctx context.Context,
artifact *domain.Artifact,
) (domain.ValidationResult, error)
// SchemaDocument returns the root JSON Schema document used for provider
// structured output, or nil for non-schema modes. The returned value is
// internal immutable state and must not be mutated by callers.
SchemaDocument() any
}
// ValidationPreparer freezes the validation resources for one output
// contract.
type ValidationPreparer interface {
PrepareValidation(
ctx context.Context,
contract domain.OutputContract,
) (PreparedValidation, error)
}
```
The exact GoDoc may be wrapped or expanded for clarity, but it must own and
communicate all of these contract points:
The exact names may be adjusted only to avoid an actual Go naming conflict;
the separation of responsibilities and method shapes are fixed.
`validate.Validator` and its existing `Validate` method remain unchanged so
the existing `Run` behavior and internal test fakes do not acquire a new
mandatory method.
- `BackendLocal` is the case-sensitive conventional ID `"local"`;
- it is neither built in nor reserved;
- calling `LocalBackend` does not register anything;
- the returned value must be supplied through `WithBackend`;
- `endpoint` and `concurrencyLimit` are copied into the corresponding fields
without normalization or validation;
- `APIKeyEnv`, `ExtraParams`, and `QueueCapacity` retain their zero values; and
- normal `NewEngine` backend validation and concurrency semantics apply after
registration.
`StandardValidator` and `FSValidator` implement `ValidationPreparer`. Their
prepared-validation implementation:
Keep `BackendOpenRouter` unchanged. `BackendLocal` must not alias an internal
registry constant because the internal registry has no special local-backend
identity or behavior.
- captures a value copy of the complete `OutputContract`;
- handles none, basic, and JSON validation without any source access;
- for JSON Schema, loads the root document, validates its dialect, registers
it with a new compiler, compiles it during `PrepareValidation`, and retains
the compiled schema;
- allows the compiler to resolve every transitive reference during that
compilation using the existing contained filesystem or `fs.FS` loader;
- returns the same loaded root document through `SchemaDocument`, so the
provider-facing structured-output constraint and later validation derive
from one root snapshot; and
- validates generated instances only against retained in-memory state. Its
`Validate` method must not reopen a path, call `fs.ReadFile`, resolve a
symlink, or invoke a schema loader after preparation succeeds.
Place `BackendLocal` near `BackendOpenRouter`, and place `LocalBackend` after
the `Backend` declaration and before `WithBackend`. This keeps the conventional
IDs, configured value, convenience constructor, and registration option
discoverable in one file.
Reuse the existing JSON parsing, validation-result construction, schema
dialect checks, contained-path rules, compiler configuration, and validation
error wording. A prepared JSON Schema compilation or reference-loading failure
is a preparation-time validation error. Existing direct calls to
`Validator.Validate`, including the existing `Run` path, retain their current
lazy compilation and source-loading behavior.
### Constructor Semantics
Do not expose the JSON Schema library's compiled type outside
`internal/validate`. Do not place compiled schemas or validation interfaces in
`internal/domain`.
`LocalBackend` is a pure struct constructor. Its complete behavior is
equivalent to the keyed literal shown above.
### Internal Prepared-Execution State
In particular, the constructor must not:
Add `internal/usecase/prepared_execution.go`. Define an internal
`PreparedExecution` owned by one `Runner`. It contains:
- trim or parse the endpoint;
- reject blank endpoints or negative limits;
- choose a default limit;
- assign an API-key environment variable;
- allocate an empty `ExtraParams` map;
- assign a queue-capacity pointer;
- read process environment;
- mutate package-global or engine state; or
- call `WithBackend` itself.
- the immutable owner `*Runner`;
- a mutex;
- a small private lifecycle state with at least ready, claimed, and discarded
states;
- a credential-redacted prepared-details snapshot that survives every
lifecycle transition; and
- while ready, a pointer to a private payload containing the full
`domain.PreparedRun` and its `validate.PreparedValidation`.
Deferred validation is intentional. It keeps one validation path for all
`Backend` values: `WithBackend` copies the public value into engine options,
and `NewEngine` constructs the validated immutable registry. A positive limit
with a nil queue continues to select the existing default queue capacity of
1024; zero continues to mean unlimited; a negative value continues to make
`NewEngine` fail with `ErrInvalidConfig`.
The payload is the only retained object containing `RunRequest.APIKey`.
Construct the public-details snapshot as a deep copy of the prepared run and
clear its `EffectiveModelParams.APIKey`. Deep-copy every mutable nested value,
including messages, maps, target extra parameters, and the structured-output
schema. Reuse the repository's JSON-compatible copy helpers rather than
maintaining an ad hoc reflection copier.
The returned `Backend` remains an ordinary caller-owned value. Consumers can
modify it before passing it to `WithBackend`, although task-oriented
documentation should direct materially customized configurations to an
explicit keyed `Backend` literal.
### Identity And Compatibility
Do not add `"local"` to the internal built-in or reserved ID set. A consumer
must be able to register either:
Add these internal operations:
```go
promptkit.LocalBackend(endpoint, limit)
func (r *Runner) PrepareExecution(
ctx context.Context,
req domain.RunRequest,
) (*PreparedExecution, error)
func (p *PreparedExecution) Details() *domain.PreparedRun
func (p *PreparedExecution) Discard()
func (r *Runner) RunPrepared(
ctx context.Context,
prepared *PreparedExecution,
) (*domain.RunResult, error)
```
or:
Internal exported names are acceptable here because the root facade must call
them, but they remain inaccessible to downstream consumers through Go's
`internal` rule.
```go
promptkit.Backend{
ID: promptkit.BackendLocal,
Endpoint: endpoint,
}
```
`PrepareExecution` performs these operations in order:
through the existing `WithBackend` option. Both forms participate in ordinary
duplicate-ID detection. Existing consumers that already use the literal ID
`"local"` remain source- and behavior-compatible.
1. call the existing request-copy boundary in the root facade before entering
the runner;
2. run `resolvePreparation`, including the existing environment credential
availability check;
3. prepare a frozen validation plan through
`validate.ValidationPreparer`;
4. construct provider structured-output metadata from the plan's root schema
document for JSON Schema mode;
5. load and hash artifacts, render the session and messages, and assemble the
complete `domain.PreparedRun`; and
6. construct the ready internal handle with independent full and redacted
snapshots.
No existing `Backend`, `WithBackend`, profile, registry, execution-target, or
capacity semantics change. Do not modify `internal/backend`,
`internal/capacity`, `internal/domain`, `engine.go`, `profiles.go`, or
`types.go` for this feature.
Extract the artifact-loading, rendering, hashing, timing, and
`domain.PreparedRun` assembly portion of `completePreparation` into a helper
that accepts an already-resolved `*domain.StructuredOutputSpec`.
`completePreparation` must continue to call the existing
`resolveStructuredOutput` first and then use that helper. This preserves
existing `Prepare` and `Run` schema behavior. `PrepareExecution` uses the
frozen validation plan's schema document to build the same structured-output
shape without calling `resolveStructuredOutput`.
When the runner has no validator, preserve the existing runner semantics:
validation is skipped and a no-op prepared plan is sufficient. When it has a
non-nil validator that does not implement `ValidationPreparer`,
`PrepareExecution` fails with `ErrValidation`; do not fall back to a plan that
would reopen sources later. The root engine's standard and `fs.FS` validators
always implement the new interface.
### Claim, Cleanup, And Engine Binding
`RunPrepared` checks engine ownership before attempting a claim. A foreign
runner returns `ErrInvalidRequest` without changing the handle. The owning
runner then locks the state and atomically:
1. accepts only the ready state;
2. changes it permanently to claimed;
3. detaches the private payload from the handle; and
4. unlocks before doing any blocking or collaborator work.
Every valid owning-engine invocation consumes the attempt at this point. Run
ID creation, credential failure, pre-canceled context, capacity rejection,
generation failure, operational validation failure, and success all leave the
handle claimed and unusable.
The execution call holds the detached payload locally and defers cleanup on
every exit. Cleanup must at minimum:
- overwrite the direct `EffectiveModelParams.APIKey` field with an empty
string;
- drop the local prepared-run pointer;
- drop the frozen-validation reference; and
- leave the separate redacted details snapshot intact.
This is reference cleanup, not a promise of secure Go string-memory erasure.
`Discard` locks the same state. If ready, it changes the state to discarded,
detaches the payload, unlocks, and performs the same cleanup. If claimed or
already discarded, it is a no-op. Therefore a `RunPrepared`/`Discard` race has
one winner: discard prevents a claim only if it acquires the ready state
first; otherwise it does not cancel the running attempt.
`Details` locks only long enough to read the retained redacted snapshot and
returns a fresh deep copy. It must not return a pointer, slice, map, schema, or
extra-parameter tree shared with either the handle or another `Details` call.
### Prepared Execution Mechanics
Refactor the post-preparation portion of `Runner.Run` into a private execution
helper that accepts:
- a fully prepared `domain.PreparedRun`;
- a caller-supplied run ID and execution start time; and
- a validation function that accepts the artifact and repair-attempt count.
The helper owns model generation, artifact construction, content validation,
internal repair, final result assembly, and result end timing. The live
`Runner.Run` path supplies its existing `validateOutput` function. The
prepared path supplies a wrapper around the retained
`validate.PreparedValidation`. Both wrappers set the actual repair-attempt
count on the returned validation result.
Keep admission outside this shared helper:
- `Runner.Run` retains its current sequence of run-ID creation, start time,
target resolution, early admission, complete preparation, execution, and
release.
- `Runner.RunPrepared` claims the handle, creates the run ID and execution
start time, revalidates credential availability, admits the frozen backend,
executes the shared helper, and releases admission.
Extract a small private admission helper only if it preserves the exact
existing capacity wrapping and release behavior. The limited-backend lease
must cover generation, validation, and all internal repair calls and must be
released on every return.
Before admission, `RunPrepared` calls the existing `validateAPIKey` with the
frozen environment-variable name, retained direct key, and frozen requirement
flag. A missing environment credential returns an error wrapping
`ErrInvalidRequest` and `ErrAPIKeyEnvMissing`. Do not read and retain the
environment value; the model client continues to resolve it when generation
begins.
The result produced by the shared helper uses the frozen preparation values
for all provenance. For `RunPrepared`, `StartTime`, `EndTime`, and `Duration`
begin after the successful claim and exclude preparation and consumer-held
delay. For ordinary `Run`, retain the current timing boundary beginning before
preparation.
### Error Mapping And Compatibility
Do not add a new public sentinel. Internal lifecycle errors wrap
`usecase.ErrInvalidRequest`, which the existing root mapping exposes as
`promptkit.ErrInvalidRequest`.
`PrepareExecution` uses the same public categories as `Prepare`.
`RunPrepared` may return:
- `ErrInvalidConfig` for a nil engine;
- `ErrInvalidRequest` for handle misuse and invalid credentials;
- `ErrAPIKeyEnvMissing` together with `ErrInvalidRequest` when the frozen
environment name is no longer set and no direct key is retained;
- `ErrCapacityExceeded` for admission rejection;
- `ErrLLMGenerate` for model-generation failures; and
- `ErrValidation` for inability to validate or repair.
Preserve wrapped collaborator and context errors according to the existing
mapping rules. A content validation rejection remains a successful
`RunResult` with `ValidationFailed`, not an operational error.
Do not change stable JSON for `PreparedRun` or `RunResult`, public request and
result ownership, provider request bodies or headers, backend selection,
capacity policies, `LLMClient`, `ArtifactReader`, `Prepare`, or `Run`.
### Test Ownership
The root external-package contract suite in `public_contract_test.go` owns the
new public behavior. Add one focused test named:
Tests must be split by the narrowest stable owner.
```go
func TestLocalBackendConstructsAndRegistersConventionalBackend(t *testing.T)
```
`internal/validate/standard_validator_test.go` owns frozen schema mechanics.
Add focused tests for both configured schema-source forms:
The test must:
- a directory-backed `StandardValidator` test whose root schema references a
second file; after `PrepareValidation`, replace or remove both files and
prove that valid and invalid artifacts are judged by the original compiled
schema; and
- an `FSValidator` test using a mutable in-memory `fs.FS`; mutate its root and
referenced entries after `PrepareValidation` and prove the same invariant.
1. call `promptkit.LocalBackend` with a test endpoint and a positive,
test-owned concurrency limit;
2. compare the returned value with this complete expected value:
Each test must also confirm that `SchemaDocument` is the original root
document used at preparation. Existing path-containment and dialect matrices
remain the owners of those rules and must not be duplicated.
```go
promptkit.Backend{
ID: promptkit.BackendLocal,
Endpoint: endpoint,
ConcurrencyLimit: limit,
}
```
`internal/usecase` tests own orchestration details that cannot be observed
cleanly at the facade:
A whole-value comparison is appropriate here because the exact zero-value
fields are part of this small public constructor's contract.
3. register that returned value with `WithBackend`;
4. add an in-memory profile whose `BackendID` is
`promptkit.BackendLocal`;
5. construct an engine through the existing contract-test prompt fixture;
6. call `Prepare`; and
7. assert that the prepared result exposes `BackendLocal` as the selected
backend and the supplied endpoint as the effective endpoint.
- `PrepareExecution` completes source loading, artifact reading, rendering,
and validation-plan creation without calling admission or generation;
- `RunPrepared` rechecks environment credential availability before admission;
- the prepared path supplies the frozen validation plan to initial validation
and every repair attempt;
- admission is released on success and each error exit; and
- the ordinary `Run` admission-before-complete-preparation ordering remains
unchanged after refactoring.
This single test protects the realistic compatibility risks: accidental field
defaults, a changed conventional ID, failure to compose with `WithBackend`,
and accidental treatment of `"local"` as reserved. It also demonstrates that
the helper uses the existing backend/profile path.
Use small test-controlled collaborators. Do not assert private enum values,
mutex layout, helper call graphs, or cleanup implementation details.
Do not add separate tests for blank endpoints, malformed endpoints, negative
limits, queue defaulting, duplicate IDs, engine isolation, runtime capacity,
or caller mutation. Those mechanisms are unchanged and already have tests at
their owning boundaries. Do not add internal-package tests for this root
facade constructor.
Add `prepared_execution_contract_test.go` in external package
`promptkit_test` for the public contract. Cover these distinct risks with the
smallest coherent set of tests:
### Consumer Documentation
1. **Frozen execution and independent details.** Prepare a request, mutate
caller-owned request values, mutable prompt/profile/input/schema sources,
and one returned `PreparedRun`, then run the handle. Assert that the
captured `GenerateRequest`, validation, result provenance, and a second
`Details` call all retain the original prepared state. Assert that source
collaborators are not reopened during execution.
2. **Lifecycle and engine binding.** Prove that a foreign engine is rejected
without consuming the handle, the owner can then run it once, a second
call through either the original or a copied public handle is rejected, and
details remain available.
3. **Concurrent claim.** Race two owning-engine `RunPrepared` calls against a
blocking fake client. Exactly one reaches generation and the other matches
`ErrInvalidRequest`. Run this test under the race detector.
4. **Discard and formatting security.** Retain a distinctive direct API key,
verify that `Details`, ordinary JSON encoding, `%v`, `%+v`, `%#v`, and
lifecycle errors do not contain it or rendered content, discard the handle,
and verify idempotence, execution rejection, and retained details.
5. **Credential and capacity timing.** Prove that preparation does not occupy
admission; removing a required environment credential makes execution fail
before generation; a capacity rejection consumes the handle; and the
execution result's timing excludes a test-controlled delay between
preparation and execution.
Update `docs/consumers/pkg-promptkit.md` after the API exists. Keep Go
declarations and GoDoc as the exact API owner; the guide should help consumers
choose a workflow and link to `backends.go` for precise semantics.
Reuse existing root contract fixtures and capacity fakes where practical.
Never put a real-looking credential in a fixture. Do not test JSON equality
for the opaque handle, exact lifecycle error strings, private state, run-ID
format, or clock-duration precision.
Restructure the backend guidance to present these paths in increasing order of
configuration:
### Documentation Ownership
1. **Endpoint-only profile.** Show a small in-memory `Profile` with
`Endpoint` and `Model`. Explain that this is the simplest choice when only
one profile needs the endpoint and shared backend identity or capacity
policy is unnecessary.
2. **Local convenience constructor.** Show
`WithBackend(promptkit.LocalBackend("http://localhost:8000/v1", 2))`
together with a profile using
`BackendID: promptkit.BackendLocal`. Explain briefly that the helper is
explicit, is not pre-registered, does not read environment variables, and
leaves the queue capacity at the existing default for a positive limit.
3. **Complete backend value.** Preserve an advanced example using a keyed
`Backend` literal for needs such as `APIKeyEnv`, an explicit
`QueueCapacity`, extra parameters, a custom ID, or multiple local
endpoints. Use a custom ID other than `"local"` in that example so the
distinction from the conventional helper is clear.
After implementation:
Keep the existing backend-routing, selected-backend identity, concurrency,
credential, and error guidance unless a small wording adjustment is required
to make the new decision path coherent. Avoid repeating the complete field
contract or registry validation rules from GoDoc.
- exported declarations and GoDoc in `prepared_execution.go`, `engine.go`, and
`types.go` own the exact public lifecycle, ownership, security, timing,
cancellation, and error contracts;
- `docs/consumers/pkg-promptkit.md` explains when to choose `Prepare`, `Run`,
or `PrepareExecution` plus `RunPrepared`, and shows one concise two-phase
workflow using `defer prepared.Discard()`;
- `docs/internal/sources.md` explains that prepared execution freezes all
source-derived state, including transitive schema references, while
ordinary `Prepare` remains inspection-only;
- `docs/internal/llm.md` explains that prepared generation uses the retained
target and messages, rechecks environment credential availability, and
does not reopen sources;
- `docs/internal/capacity.md` explains that `PrepareExecution` performs no
admission and that `RunPrepared` acquires and holds the normal run lease
across generation, validation, and internal repair; and
- `docs/internal/overview.md` updates the validator and use-case inventory to
mention frozen validation plans and one-attempt prepared execution.
Do not add a new maintained example, README section, format-reference entry,
integration-contract change, internal-document change, or release note. The
consumer-guide snippets are sufficient for this small convenience API, and
none of those other documents owns the affected task or contract.
Keep these documents at their established abstraction levels. Link to exact
Go declarations rather than reproducing field-by-field contracts. No README,
format reference, integration contract, maintained example, architecture
policy, release note, or release-procedure update is required because the
feature changes none of their owned concerns.
## Stage 1: Add The Public Constructor And Contract Test
## Stage 1: Add Frozen Validation Plans
**Status:** Complete.
**Status:** Pending.
### Objective
Add the smallest public API that expresses the accepted local-backend
convention and protect its compatibility through the root public boundary.
Create an internal validation artifact that eagerly captures every schema
resource required by later validation, without changing existing validation
or engine behavior.
### Implementation Prompt
1. Re-read `docs/development.md`, all files under `docs/policy/`,
`local-backend.md`, `backends.go`, the backend-related portion of
`public_contract_test.go`, and the existing backend/concurrency GoDoc before
editing.
2. Confirm the working tree and preserve the uncommitted roadmaps and any
unrelated consumer changes.
3. Add the untyped exported string constant `BackendLocal = "local"` to
`backends.go` without changing `BackendOpenRouter`.
4. Add `LocalBackend(endpoint string, concurrencyLimit int) Backend` to
`backends.go` using the exact keyed-literal implementation in the fixed
design.
5. Write complete GoDoc for both declarations. Make their conventional,
explicit, non-built-in, non-reserved, and deferred-validation semantics
unambiguous.
6. Add
`TestLocalBackendConstructsAndRegistersConventionalBackend` to
`public_contract_test.go` exactly as specified under Test Ownership. Reuse
the existing contract prompt fixture rather than adding a fixture or test
helper.
7. Do not edit internal packages. If the constructor appears to require an
internal change, stop and reconcile the implementation with the fixed
transparent-constructor design instead.
`prepared-execution.md`, `internal/validate/validator.go`,
`internal/validate/standard_validator.go`, and the focused validator tests.
2. Confirm the working tree and preserve all existing roadmap and wishlist
changes.
3. Add `PreparedValidation` and `ValidationPreparer` to
`internal/validate/validator.go` with the exact responsibilities in the
fixed design. Leave `Validator` unchanged.
4. Implement `PrepareValidation` for `StandardValidator` and `FSValidator`.
Reuse the existing root resolution, resource identifiers, contained
loaders, dialect checks, compiler configuration, JSON parser, and
validation-result builder.
5. Ensure the root document is registered from the already-loaded value and
every transitive reference is loaded during compilation. Retain only the
compiled schema, root document, and copied contract required for later
validation.
6. Ensure the prepared validator checks its validation-time context and does
not touch either source after successful preparation.
7. Add the two focused frozen-reference tests described under Test Ownership.
Keep existing tests unchanged except for shared test setup that materially
reduces duplication.
### Focused Validation
Run:
```sh
gofmt -w backends.go public_contract_test.go
go test . -run '^TestLocalBackendConstructsAndRegistersConventionalBackend$'
gofmt -w internal/validate/validator.go \
internal/validate/standard_validator.go \
internal/validate/standard_validator_test.go
go test ./internal/validate
go test -race ./internal/validate
go vet ./internal/validate
git diff --check
```
### Completion Gate
Stage 1 is complete when:
- both built-in validator forms produce prepared plans;
- prepared schema validation works after root and referenced sources change or
disappear;
- provider schema metadata can use the exact root document captured by the
plan;
- existing `Validator.Validate` behavior remains unchanged; and
- focused tests, race tests, vet, formatting, and whitespace checks pass.
## Stage 2: Implement Internal Handle Lifecycle And Prepared Execution
**Status:** Pending.
### Objective
Add complete preparation, one-attempt lifecycle management, cleanup, and
source-free execution to the use-case layer while preserving existing
`Prepare` and `Run` behavior.
### Implementation Prompt
1. Re-read the completed Stage 1 declarations, `internal/usecase/runner.go`,
its focused tests, `internal/capacity`, and the execution flow described in
`prepared-execution.md`.
2. Add `internal/usecase/prepared_execution.go` with the internal handle,
payload, lifecycle transitions, deep-copying, redaction, cleanup, and
runner ownership described in the fixed design.
3. Extract the common final preparation helper that accepts resolved
structured-output metadata. Keep `completePreparation` and existing
`resolveStructuredOutput` behavior intact for `Prepare` and `Run`.
4. Implement `Runner.PrepareExecution` using
`validate.ValidationPreparer`. Build JSON Schema structured-output metadata
from the frozen plan's root document.
5. Refactor post-preparation generation, validation, repair, and result
assembly into the shared private helper. Preserve ordinary `Run` timing,
early admission, error ordering, and live validator behavior.
6. Implement `Runner.RunPrepared`: verify owner, claim once, create run ID and
execution start time, recheck credentials, acquire admission, execute
against the retained plan, release admission, and clean the detached
payload on every exit.
7. Implement nil-safe, idempotent discard and fresh redacted details copying.
Confirm the `RunPrepared`/`Discard` race is resolved solely by the shared
mutex transition.
8. Add the internal orchestration tests described under Test Ownership,
including regression coverage for ordinary `Run`'s admission ordering.
### Focused Validation
Run:
```sh
gofmt -w internal/usecase/runner.go \
internal/usecase/prepared_execution.go \
internal/usecase/*_test.go
go test ./internal/usecase
go test -race ./internal/usecase
go test ./internal/validate
go vet ./internal/usecase ./internal/validate
git diff --check
```
### Completion Gate
Stage 2 is complete when:
- a runner can prepare and later execute without reopening any request source;
- one valid invocation consumes the handle on every outcome;
- foreign-runner rejection does not consume the handle;
- discard and claim are race-safe and cleanup drops secret-bearing state;
- prepared execution rechecks credentials and admits only at execution time;
- frozen validation is reused across initial output and repair attempts;
- existing `Prepare` and `Run` tests retain their observable ordering and
behavior; and
- focused tests, race tests, vet, formatting, and whitespace checks pass.
## Stage 3: Publish The Root Facade And Public Contract
**Status:** Pending.
### Objective
Expose the accepted opaque handle workflow through the root package and
protect its compatibility, security, and concurrency guarantees at the
consumer boundary.
### Implementation Prompt
1. Re-read the accepted public workflow, root conversion and error-mapping
helpers, existing `Prepare` and `Run` GoDoc, and the external-package
contract-test conventions.
2. Add root `prepared_execution.go` with the opaque wrapper, `Details`,
`Discard`, `String`, and `GoString`.
3. Add `Engine.PrepareExecution` and `Engine.RunPrepared` to `engine.go`.
Reuse `toDomainRunRequest`, `fromDomainPreparedRun`,
`fromDomainRunResult`, and `mapPublicError`.
4. Add or reuse one public prepared-run deep-copy helper so every `Details`
call returns fresh nested state. Do not expose the internal handle or
retain a public direct credential.
5. Write complete GoDoc for the type and methods. Update `RunRequest`,
`PreparedRun`, and `RunResult` GoDoc only where cross-references are needed
to distinguish the new workflow; do not change their stable JSON or
ownership contracts.
6. Add `prepared_execution_contract_test.go` and cover the five risk groups
under Test Ownership. Reuse existing fixtures and fakes rather than
duplicating backend, profile, schema, and capacity matrices.
7. Explicitly inspect formatted and JSON-encoded handles, lifecycle errors,
details, captured model requests, and results for the test sentinel direct
key.
### Focused Validation
Run:
```sh
gofmt -w prepared_execution.go engine.go types.go convert.go \
prepared_execution_contract_test.go
go test . -run 'PreparedExecution|RunPrepared|PrepareExecution'
go test -race . -run 'PreparedExecution|RunPrepared|PrepareExecution'
go test .
go vet .
go build .
git diff --check
```
Inspect the diff and confirm that this stage changes only `backends.go`,
`public_contract_test.go`, and the already-present roadmap files.
### Completion Gate
Stage 1 is complete when:
Stage 3 is complete when:
- the exported constant and constructor match the fixed API;
- the constructor returns only the three specified non-zero fields;
- the helper registers through the ordinary `WithBackend` path;
- `"local"` remains a valid consumer registration rather than a reserved
built-in;
- the focused public-contract test passes; and
- the root package test, vet, build, formatting, and whitespace checks pass.
- the public API matches the accepted shape;
- details are fresh, stable, credential-redacted copies before and after every
lifecycle outcome;
- default formatting and JSON expose no retained request or credential data;
- foreign, copied, concurrent, discarded, and reused handles obey the
one-attempt contract;
- execution uses exactly the frozen request and validation state;
- preparation performs no generation or admission;
- result provenance matches details and execution timing excludes preparation
and retention delay;
- public errors preserve the required `errors.Is` identities; and
- focused public, race, package, vet, build, formatting, and whitespace checks
pass.

structure under Consumer Documentation.
3. Keep examples illustrative, minimal, secret-free, and consistent with the
implemented declarations. Link precise semantics to `backends.go` rather

Documentation Ownership.
3. Keep the consumer example concise, copyable, secret-free, and explicit
about `defer prepared.Discard()`. Link to declarations for exact lifecycle
and error semantics.
4. Follow every added or changed Markdown link and confirm its target exists.
Confirm that all local repository-relative links in
`local-backend.md`, this plan, and the changed consumer guide resolve.
Confirm that repository-relative links in both roadmap documents and all
changed current-state documents resolve.
5. Run the complete maintainer validation sequence below.
6. Inspect the final diff for accidental internal behavior changes,
generated artifacts, credentials, local workspace files, or module
replacements.
7. After every completion gate passes, set both stage statuses, this plan's
status, and the status in `local-backend.md` to `Complete`. Do not retire or
remove the roadmaps in the implementation change; roadmap retirement
follows implementation review.
6. Inspect the final diff for accidental provider-wire changes, source

# Executable Preparation Handles
**Status:** Accepted.
## Purpose
Allow a consumer to prepare one exact Promptkit execution, inspect and retain
its credential-redacted public preparation details, and later execute that
already-prepared work without resolving or rendering the request again.
This provides a supported preflight-before-generation boundary for
[Weatherreporter](weatherreporter-promptkit-wishlist.md#priority-1-executable-preparation-handles)
and removes the duplicate `Prepare`-then-`Run` workaround described by
[Notarius](notarius-promptkit-wishlist.md#priority-1-atomic-execution-with-prepared-details).
## Motivation
`Engine.Prepare` currently returns the provenance and rendered details that
consumers need for debugging, persistence, and preflight checks. `Engine.Run`
then performs its own preparation before generation. A consumer that needs
both values must therefore prepare the same logical request twice.
That workaround duplicates source loading, input hashing, schema work, and
template rendering. It also permits filesystem-backed prompts, profiles,
schemas, or inputs to change between the public preparation and the
preparation that actually produces the result.
Promptkit already owns the complete preparation and execution pipeline. An
opt-in prepared-execution handle should expose the missing boundary without
putting rendered content into every `RunResult` or moving persistence policy
into the library.
## Consumer Workflow
The target public workflow is:
```go
prepared, err := engine.PrepareExecution(ctx, request)
if err != nil {
// Handle preparation failure.
return
}
defer prepared.Discard()
details := prepared.Details()
// Persist or inspect a consumer-selected safe subset of details.
result, err := engine.RunPrepared(ctx, prepared)
```
The target public surface is:
```go
type PreparedExecution struct {
// Opaque Promptkit-owned state.
}
func (e *Engine) PrepareExecution(
ctx context.Context,
req RunRequest,
) (*PreparedExecution, error)
func (p *PreparedExecution) Details() PreparedRun
func (p *PreparedExecution) Discard()
func (e *Engine) RunPrepared(
ctx context.Context,
prepared *PreparedExecution,
) (*RunResult, error)
```
The declarations and GoDoc will own the exact implemented contract. The
important public shape is an opaque handle, caller-owned `PreparedRun`
details, an explicit discard operation, and execution through the engine that
created the handle.
## Prepared Snapshot
`PrepareExecution` performs complete preparation without model generation or
backend-capacity admission. It applies the same request validation, source
precedence, backend and profile resolution, credential requirement checks,
output-contract resolution, artifact loading, hashing, schema loading,
session resolution, and rendering behavior as `Prepare`.
A successful handle freezes all source-derived state required for later
execution, including:
- the selected prompt definition, profile, and backend identity;
- the complete effective execution target and request-field presence;
- rendered messages and effective session ID;
- prompt, rendered-prompt, and input hashes;
- the effective output contract and provider-facing structured-output
constraint; and
- private validation state sufficient to validate generated output without
reopening schema files or `fs.FS` resources, including required schema
references.
After `PrepareExecution` succeeds, changes to prompt, profile, schema, input,
or request-owned data cannot change what `RunPrepared` sends to the model or
how it validates the generated output.
The handle retains an internal snapshot independent from values returned by
`Details`. Mutating a returned `PreparedRun`, its maps, slices, messages, or
schema values does not affect later execution. Each `Details` call returns a
fresh caller-owned copy under the existing `PreparedRun` ownership and stable
JSON rules.
## Handle Lifecycle
A `PreparedExecution` is:
- created only by a successful `PrepareExecution` call;
- bound to the exact `Engine` that created it;
- valid for one `RunPrepared` invocation;
- safe for repeated `Details` calls;
- intentionally opaque and without a supported JSON representation; and
- in-process state rather than a durable or restartable job.
`RunPrepared` atomically claims a valid handle before beginning the execution
attempt. A second or concurrent invocation fails without starting another
execution, including when the first invocation ended in cancellation, capacity
rejection, generation failure, or operational validation failure. Copies of
the public handle share the same one-attempt state and cannot bypass this rule.
A nil, zero-value, foreign-engine, discarded, already-claimed, or already-used
handle is invalid. `RunPrepared` reports these lifecycle errors through the
ordinary public invalid-request category. A failed foreign-engine invocation
does not consume a handle that remains valid for its owning engine.
`Discard` idempotently makes an unclaimed handle unavailable for execution and
drops Promptkit's references to secret-bearing or execution-only state.
`RunPrepared` performs the same cleanup automatically after claiming a handle.
Credential-redacted public preparation details remain available after discard,
success, or failure so consumers can retain diagnostics. Promptkit does not
promise secure erasure of Go string memory.
Lifecycle transitions are concurrency-safe. When `RunPrepared` and `Discard`
race, exactly one claims the ready handle. `Discard` is not an execution
cancellation mechanism and does not interrupt an attempt that has already
claimed the handle; consumers cancel that attempt through its context.
## Credentials And Sensitive Data
`Details` has the same security contract as `PreparedRun`: it can contain
rendered messages, schemas, identifiers, and hashes, but never a resolved API
key value. Consumers remain responsible for selecting, redacting, storing, and
retaining any persisted preparation material.
A direct `RunRequest.APIKey` is retained only in opaque execution state until
the handle is run or discarded. It is never added to details, hashes, JSON,
`String`, or `GoString` output.
An environment-variable name is frozen as part of the effective target, but
its credential value is not captured for the lifetime of the handle.
`PrepareExecution` applies the existing preparation-time availability check.
`RunPrepared` rechecks availability before admission, and the selected model
client uses the environment value visible during execution. This preserves
current secret ownership and avoids retaining an environment credential while
a consumer persists preflight material.
The opaque handle must not expose retained request data or credentials through
default formatting, JSON, or error messages.
## Admission, Cancellation, And Execution
`PrepareExecution` never reserves backend admission or an active-generation
permit. Its context governs preparation only; cancellation after it returns
does not invalidate the handle.
`RunPrepared` uses its own context for credential revalidation, backend
admission, active-generation waiting, model generation, output validation, and
any internal repair. Admission occurs when `RunPrepared` begins so a consumer
cannot occupy bounded capacity while inspecting or persisting preparation
details.
For a limited backend, the admission lease covers the complete prepared
execution attempt after admission: generation, validation, internal repair,
and every success or failure exit. Actual generation continues to use the
backend's FIFO active-generation permit. Existing capacity error identity,
cancellation behavior, and release guarantees remain in force.
Because a prepared handle is one-attempt, cancellation or capacity rejection
does not make it reusable. Retry and backoff policy remains with the consumer,
which may create a new prepared handle when another attempt is appropriate.
## Results And Failures
On success, `RunPrepared` returns the existing caller-owned `RunResult`. Its
source-derived provenance must match `Details`, including prompt identity and
hash, rendered-prompt hash, session ID, selected profile and backend,
effective target, and input hashes.
`RunResult.StartTime`, `EndTime`, and `Duration` describe the
`RunPrepared` execution attempt. They exclude preparation time and any delay
while the consumer retained the handle. Preparation timing remains in
`PreparedRun`.
Preparation failure returns no handle. After successful preparation,
`RunPrepared` retains the existing rule that an operational failure returns no
partial `RunResult`; the consumer already has independent preparation details.
A completed content-validation failure remains a successful result with
`ValidationFailed`.
`PrepareExecution` preserves the public error categories of `Prepare`.
`RunPrepared` preserves applicable invalid-request, credential, capacity,
generation, validation, collaborator, and cancellation identities without
reintroducing source-loading or rendering failures from frozen state.
## Compatibility And Existing Workflows
This feature is additive:
- `Prepare` remains the simple preparation-only operation;
- `Run` remains the simple prepare-and-execute operation with its current
early-admission and error-ordering behavior;
- `PreparedRun` and `RunResult` retain their existing stable JSON
representations;
- model-client and artifact-reader extension interfaces remain unchanged; and
- backend routing, concurrency limits, queue capacities, and provider wire
behavior remain unchanged.
The new workflow may share internal machinery with `Prepare` and `Run`, but it
must not change their observable behavior merely to simplify implementation.
## Documentation
The completed documentation set has these ownership boundaries:
- exported declarations and GoDoc own the exact handle, method, lifecycle,
ownership, concurrency, credential, error, and cancellation contracts;
- the promptkit consumer guide explains when to use `Prepare`, `Run`, or the
two-phase prepared-execution workflow; and
- internal runner, source-validation, capacity, and model-client documentation
describe the implemented collaborator boundaries without duplicating public
contracts.
No release document is part of the feature implementation itself. Release
guidance is prepared only when the resulting public API is selected for
publication.
## Non-Goals
This work does not include:
- serializable, durable, resumable, or cross-process execution handles;
- reuse for multiple consumer-initiated executions;
- concurrent execution of one handle;
- capacity reservation during preparation;
- a background task queue, priorities, worker lifecycle, or job status;
- retry, backoff, or provider failover policy;
- a separate `RunDetailed` convenience method;
- adding preparation details or rendered messages to every `RunResult`;
- prompt or profile inspection APIs;
- structured capacity or generation errors;
- freezing environment-variable credential values for the handle lifetime;
- snapshotting provider state or mutable behavior inside an injected
`LLMClient`;
- allowing target, validation, session, variable, or input overrides after
preparation; or
- changing existing `Prepare`, `Run`, file-format, provider-request, or stable
JSON contracts.
## Target End State
After this work:
- consumers can perform and persist preflight before starting provider work;
- one prepared handle executes exactly the source-derived prompt, target,
schema, inputs, session, and messages described by its public details;
- execution never reloads or rerenders consumer sources;
- direct credentials remain confined to opaque, explicitly discardable state;
- environment credentials are not retained across the preflight boundary;
- backend capacity is reserved only when execution begins;
- one handle can start at most one execution attempt, including any internal
repair calls owned by that attempt;
- preparation details remain available after execution success or failure;
- existing simple `Prepare` and `Run` consumers remain unaffected; and
- Promptkit continues to own reusable execution mechanics without taking on
downstream persistence, redaction, retry, or job-management policy.
