On the last page next_offset is null, so the model was told truncated:false while its tail had been removed: measured 11 890 of 19 999 chars delivered, returned:19999, no pointer to the rest - 8 109 chars lost with no way to ask for them. * the clip now sets truncated=true and next_offset=offset+keep when it removes the tail of a page that had no continuation (and never splits a surrogate pair) * read_file caps a page at the result budget (min(pageCap, toolResultChars-200)), so a page is always delivered whole and next_offset is exactly contiguous Live v4.6.143: 19 999-char file -> page 11 800 (next_offset 11 800), page 2 8 199 (next_offset null): 11 800 + 8 199 = 19 999, nothing withheld. A model asking for limit:32000 is clamped to 11 800 and told truncated:true. The ~500-char symptom was the 500-char floor: a caller passing limit:200 gets 500, which is why targeted sed -n reads looked better than the tool. Delegation reporting (module-orchestrator.js, module-aiassist.js) - chat() returning {content} was already fixed in 8a9333b, but three other places still substituted the word "completed" for an absent answer, so the symptom survived: delegateTask's outbox wrote status:'completed' even when the worker returned nothing; the delegate_task tool returned {success:true, result:"completed"}; orchestrate-parallel summarised an unmatched agent as {status:'ok', result:'completed (agent recycled)'} and a missing outbox as "completed (no outbox)". - Now: an empty/undefined answer is status 'failed' with error 'agent produced no answer' / 'no result in outbox' / 'agent not found — result unverifiable', and the tool returns success:false with result:null. Tests: test-delegation-reporting.js 6 (RED 3/6 against HEAD: D3/D4 success:true, D5 the literal "completed"), test-tool-context-bound 26 with E6-E8 (RED 24/2: truncated:false, next_offset null). maintain 27/27.
