-- **`LlmError.status` is never set** — pi-ai reports failures as in-stream events with no HTTP status, so error codes are regex-classified from the error text.
+- **Provider HTTP status is unavailable** — pi-ai reports failures as in-stream events, so stable error codes are regex-classified from the error text.
 - **`buildModel` hardcodes descriptor metadata** — `contextWindow: 128000`, `maxTokens: 64000`, zero cost, identically for every registered model name; not configurable.
 - **pi-ai's built-in retries are disabled (`maxRetries: 0`)** — failures surface immediately; retry policy belongs to `llm/stream` listeners.

 - `LlmAdapter` — abstract base class for provider adapters. The only required method is `stream()`.
 - `BlockAssembler` — incrementally assembles raw chunks into complete content blocks and an assistant message. The agent loop feeds it raw chunks (logging them for replay) while reading the assembled blocks/message for history.
 - `HarnessError` — base class for the harness error taxonomy: a stable `code` string (distinct from the human `message`) plus `cause` chaining. Lives here, in the leaf package every other imports, so a single base is shared without a new dependency edge. Per-package errors (`LlmError`, `ToolArgsError`, `InvariantError`, …) extend it. `isHarnessError(value)` narrows at seams.
