Giorgio Gilestro 45fa31bb2b ai: structured-output + reviewer agent for indicator summaries
Replaces the regex-based clean_summary / looks_like_leakage pipeline
that produced the 2026-05-29 valuation-read leak. Two layers of defence
in depth:

1. JSON-mode generation. The per-group and aggregate summary system
   prompts now require the model to emit a single object
   {"read": "..."}; response_format={"type":"json_object"} is passed
   through to the provider so the API enforces well-formed JSON. Prose
   outside the field is physically impossible. The "read" field is the
   only schema slot, so the model has nowhere to spill scratchpad
   into the envelope.

2. Reviewer agent. services/output_review.review_read() makes a second
   small LLM call that judges whether the candidate "read" string is
   publishable. It catches the residual failure mode — scratchpad
   INSIDE the field ("Let's see…", multi-question parentheticals,
   meta-commentary) — and returns a JSON verdict {"clean": bool,
   "reason": str}. Any failure (provider error, parse error, missing
   field) returns clean=false (fail-safe). Cost ~$0.0001/check; latency
   ~1-2 s in the hourly job, no user-facing latency.

The old regex scaffolding (_LEAK_PATTERNS, clean_summary,
looks_like_leakage, _TRAILING_QUOTE) is deleted entirely. It produced
false positives (chopped legitimate "The indicators are…" leaders) and
false negatives (never matched the chain-of-thought patterns the model
actually emits). The reviewer agent is strictly better on both.

On reviewer/parse rejection: don't persist a new IndicatorSummary; the
API's existing fallback to the previous good row continues to serve
the panel. Failures are logged as ind_summary.json_invalid /
ind_summary.reviewer_rejected so we can measure the rejection rate.

Reviewer cost is added to the row's recorded cost_usd so the monthly
budget cap covers the full pipeline.

Adds tests/test_output_review.py: 11 cases covering _extract_read
(JSON envelope handling — invalid JSON, missing field, wrong types,
empty values) and review_read (clean / unclean verdicts plus three
fail-safe paths for malformed reviewer responses).

"""Second-pass reviewer agent for AI-generated reads.
The per-group and aggregate indicator summaries are generated in JSON
mode and the publishable text comes out of a single "read" field, but a
misbehaving model can still slip chain-of-thought INSIDE the field
("Let's see…", "X? Actually Y?", multi-question parentheticals). This
module makes a small second LLM call that judges the candidate read as
clean / unclean. Cost is ~$0.0001 per check; latency ~1-2 s in the
hourly job. No user-facing latency.
The reviewer is deliberately a tiny, JSON-shaped classifier — same
JSON-mode mechanism as the generator, so the verdict can't be lost in
prose. If parsing fails or the call errors, the row is rejected
(fail-safe: the previously cached good summary stays visible).

You are a strict editor for a financial-markets dashboard. The author
was asked to produce a short interpretive read for human readers.
You receive their proposed read and decide if it is publishable as-is.
Mark CLEAN only if the text reads like a finished interpretation a
reader could see on a public dashboard without confusion.
Mark UNCLEAN if the text contains ANY of:
- Chain-of-thought / scratchpad markers used as thinking — phrases like
"Let me", "Let's see", "we need to", "actually" (correcting itself),
"wait", "hmm", "or rather", "I should".
- Self-questioning parentheticals: "Q1 2026? Actually Q4 2025?",
"is it X or Y?", any place where the author appears to be working
out the answer in front of the reader.
- Multiple rhetorical questions or any question that interrupts the
declarative voice. A clean interpretive read is assertive.
- Meta-commentary about the task, output format, word limits, or
instructions — e.g. "as required by the constraints", "the prompt
asks", "let me address each".
- Partial / truncated content. Starts mid-word, mid-number, mid-clause.
- Visible internal numbers without clear meaning ("change 1y +5.9%?"),
raw column names ("as_of 2026-01-01"), or any debug-like fragments.
- Anything other than the finished, publishable interpretation.
Return ONLY a JSON object with this exact shape:
{"clean": true | false, "reason": "<≤20 words, plain text>"}
No preamble, no markdown fences, no other fields.
