Todo 45.7 Structured Incomplete Mixed Validation Plan

Status: in_progress

Goal

Ensure a structured resolver's explicit complete=False signal cannot trigger LLM fallback when the resolved arguments also contain substantive validation errors.

Scope

• Add structured-incomplete regressions for required plus enum, type, and additional-property failures.
• Compute fallback eligibility before converting optional-schema incomplete results into INVALID_ARGUMENTS.
• Allow fallback only for pure missing-only validation or explicit incomplete with no substantive validation error.

Files

• Modify: src/agent_lab/application/events/kernel.py
• Modify: tests/test_event_kernel.py

Requirement Execution Loop

Plan

1. Add RED tests proving EventArgumentResolution(..., complete=False) plus mixed substantive errors currently calls fallback.
2. Separate fallback_eligible from the normalized invalid result status.
3. Preserve optional-only explicit incomplete fallback and pure required-missing fallback.
4. Run focused/full tests and final bounded reviews.
