From 3c3003b9ef7336d7a132d6d548a8f6bff577405c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: openhands Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2026 03:23:46 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] feat(file_editor): dedupe repeated `view` of unchanged files MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit When the same `view` would return identical bytes (same path, same `view_range`, no edits between), return a small redirect hint instead of re-emitting the full file content. Invalidate the per-path cache on every successful `write_file` (covers `create`, `str_replace`, `insert`, `undo_edit` — all funnel through `write_file`). ## Why Trajectory analysis of run `27224350936` (Nemotron 550B SWE-Bench Verified) showed each "expensive" instance re-viewing the same file many times with no edits in between: - `sklearn/impute/_iterative.py` viewed **34 times** - `django/db/backends/base/schema.py` viewed **19 times** - `django/contrib/sessions/backends/base.py` viewed 6 times A typical Django/sklearn source file is 1–2 KB once `cat -n`-formatted, so 19 redundant views ≈ 20–40 KB re-emitted into the conversation. On a non-cached provider that whole pile is re-paid on every later turn — quadratic context bloat. ## Design Per `FileEditor` instance, store `{resolved_path: set[response_hash]}`. On a `view`: 1. Compute SHA256 of the response text we'd return. 2. If that hash is already in the path's set: return a short hint that names the file and teaches the recovery paths (scroll back, use a different `view_range`, or `cat` via terminal if you really need the bytes again). 3. Otherwise: add the hash to the set and return the real response. Key choices: - **Hash the response text, not the file content.** Different `view_range`s produce different bytes → different hashes → correctly not deduped. - **`set[str]` per path, not a single slot.** Catches the ABA pattern (view A → view B → view A) which is common when the agent cross-references sections. - **`write_file` clears the whole set for that path.** Atomic with the file mutation — any subsequent view sees fresh content even if the model edits a region we didn't previously hash. - **Skip images** (any `ImageContent`) and **never dedupe errors** — the agent must see retry feedback in full. - **Directories are deduped** too: `ls`-style listings can be multi-KB on big trees and the same model loops apply. ## Tests `tests/tools/file_editor/test_view_dedupe.py` — 11 new tests: - Repeat view of unchanged file → hint, full content not re-emitted. - Hint is < 5% of the original payload it replaces (verified on a 1000-line file; ratio grows with file size). - All four edit commands (`str_replace`, `create`, `insert`, `undo_edit`) invalidate the cache. - Different `view_range` is NOT deduped. - ABA pattern IS deduped. - Distinct paths track independently. - Repeat directory listing is deduped. - Error observations are never deduped. All 163 existing file_editor tests pass unchanged. Lint + pyright clean. ## Stacks with - SDK-5 (#3582) — literal-arg guard for `terminal.command`. - SDK-7 (#3619) — proactive literal-arg warning in tool description. Together these address the two largest waste buckets identified in run `27224350936`.

A text-file view now dedupes when the requested line range is ≥70% covered by the union of previously-shown intervals for that file. Directories keep the exact-hash behavior unchanged. Both structures are dropped for a path on every successful `write_file` to that path, so any edit refreshes the state atomically (covers `create`, `str_replace`, `insert`, `undo_edit`). ## Why Empirical data from run `27293667611` (Nemotron 550B SWE-Bench Verified on the v1 branch) showed v1 caught only **2 of 17** redundant views of `sklearn/impute/_iterative.py` per task — about 12%. v1's hash key required EXACT response equality, but the model's real access pattern is overlapping-but-not-identical ranges clustered around a few regions of the file: cluster A: (110,130) (110,135) (110,185) (115,122) (115,132) (115,135) cluster B: (270,300) (270,340) (274,295) (290,350) (294,340) cluster C: (560,650) (565,640) (605,630) Under v2 (this PR), feeding the exact same trace through gives **6 of 17** dedupe hits — a 3× improvement on the same access pattern, without changing the model side at all. The remaining 11 first-views are either (a) the genuine first view of a region or (b) the first view of a file after a write invalidated the cache — both correct. The first follow-up in cluster B is intentionally NOT deduped because it genuinely extends the seen region (lines 301-350 are new content). Only the third, fourth, and fifth — each fully inside the union of earlier views — get the hint. This is the behavior pinned by `test_cluster_pattern_from_real_trace_is_mostly_deduped`. ## Threshold (0.7) Tuned to err on the side of deduping. False positives (model re-requests with a tighter range from the hint) cost one extra turn; false negatives (full 5–50 KB file dump) cost a payload that's re-paid on every uncached subsequent turn → quadratic context bloat. 70% is the lowest threshold that still leaves clear "you'll see >30% new content" semantics in the hint. ## Hint changes Two hints now exist: * `_VIEW_DEDUPE_HINT_INTERVAL` — names the seen ranges and the coverage percentage so the model can pick an actually-new range. Example: `You have already viewed `/path/foo.py` covering lines [110-185, 270-350]. The requested range [115-135] is 100% inside what you have already been shown. Scroll back...` * `_VIEW_DEDUPE_HINT_LISTING` — directory variant, simpler. Both stay an order of magnitude smaller than the view they replace (pinned by `test_hint_is_an_order_of_magnitude_smaller`). ## Tests `tests/tools/file_editor/test_view_dedupe_intervals.py` — 27 new tests across three layers: * Unit-level: `_merge_intervals` (7 cases) and `_coverage_fraction` (7 parametrized cases) — the interval algebra dedupe relies on. * Behavior: subset/superset/overlap/disjoint cases; the growing-range pattern; the real Nemotron cluster B pattern reproduced verbatim; end-minus-one normalization; whole-file then partial; partial then whole-file; multi-file isolation. * Hint quality: hint lists seen ranges; size ratio < 10% on 1000-line file. `tests/tools/file_editor/test_view_dedupe.py` (v1 tests, kept) — every test still passes unchanged. The v1 cases (exact repeats, write invalidation, ABA pattern, error pass-through, directory dedupe, per- path isolation) are all special cases of the v2 design. All 192 file_editor tests pass. Lint + pyright clean. ## Honest scope This redesign is informed by the v1-on-Nemotron data from run `27293667611` (linked in the PR description). 3× catch-rate improvement on the dominant waste pattern is real; the absolute cost impact on a single task is bounded by how often the model edits the same file (each edit invalidates and forces a fresh view). Best-case savings on a non-caching provider are still meaningful — ~5K tokens × N future turns per dedupe — but the v2 design also doesn't claim to fix the larger structural issue (model retries the same forbidden command shape dozens of times). That's a separate lever (SDK-8 hard cooldown).
