Etienne 4851489ebc fix(ai-chat) fix AI chat tool-output spill leaks: spill learn_tools, cap navigation tools, truncate on spill failure (#23286)
## Context

AI chat spills tool outputs larger than `MAX_INLINE_TOOL_OUTPUT_BYTES`
(16 kB) to a file and lets
the model page them back with `search_output` / `extract_json_paths`.
Three paths bypass this and
let unbounded payloads into conversation history:

1. **`learn_tools` is never spilled.** Tool schemas go inline whatever
their size.
2. **Navigation tools have no inline cap.** They are exempt from
spilling by design (they page
   spilled files), but nothing bounds their own output.
3. **Spill failure falls back to full inline.** On any spill error the
service returns the complete
   payload with only a warning appended.

## What changed

- **`learn_tools` now spills.** `createLearnToolsTool` takes `{
excludeTools?, spillLargeOutput? }`
(same shape as `createExecuteToolTool`); chat execution enables it. Only
the bulky `tools`
schemas are spilled; `message` / `notFound` / `suggestions` stay inline
and the response carries
a `spilledTools` envelope (fileId, preview, hint) pageable via
`extract_json_paths`. MCP is
  unchanged.
- **Navigation tools get a hard inline cap.** Still never spilled, but
output above 16 kB is
head+tail truncated with a marker telling the model to narrow the query
or page with `offset`.
- **Spill failure truncates instead of inlining.** The fallback returns
head+tail within the 16 kB
  budget with the original byte size in the marker, keeping the warning.
- New `truncateHeadTail` util: byte-budgeted, marker-aware, UTF-8
codepoint-safe.

## Test plan

- `tool-output-spill.service.spec.ts`: spill envelope unchanged,
under-budget passthrough,
navigation cap for both tools (budget respected, marker mentions
`offset`, no file written),
  truncated fallback on spill failure with warnings preserved.
- `learn-tools.tool.spec.ts`: no spill without the option, inline under
budget,
`message`/`notFound`/`suggestions` intact when spilled, spill-failure
warnings surfaced.
- `truncate-head-tail.util.spec.ts`: budget, head+tail+marker,
multibyte-safe cuts.
- 63 tests across 6 suites; `lint:diff-with-main` and `typecheck` green.

## Post-deploy

Watch the `AiChatToolOutputTokens` histogram (p95 should collapse to ~4k
tokens) and the
`AiChatInputTokens` / `AiChatCacheReadTokens` ratio on GPT-5-class
models.

Installation

Cloud

The fastest way to get started. Sign up at twenty.com and spin up a workspace in under a minute, with no infrastructure to manage and always up to date.

Build an app

Scaffold a new app with the Twenty CLI:

npx create-twenty-app my-app

Define objects, fields, and views as code:

import { defineObject, FieldType } from 'twenty-sdk/define';

export default defineObject({
  nameSingular: 'deal',
  namePlural: 'deals',
  labelSingular: 'Deal',
  labelPlural: 'Deals',
  fields: [
    { name: 'name', label: 'Name', type: FieldType.TEXT },
    { name: 'amount', label: 'Amount', type: FieldType.CURRENCY },
    { name: 'closeDate', label: 'Close Date', type: FieldType.DATE_TIME },
  ],
});

Then ship it to your workspace:

npx twenty app:publish --private

See the app development guide for objects, views, agents, and logic functions.

Self-hosting

Run Twenty on your own infrastructure with Docker Compose, or contribute locally via the local setup guide.
