Why by default, verbose is disabled in the evaluation mode?

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Let me examine the evaluation mode implementation to understand why verbose is disabled by default.

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

The code shows that verbose is actually **enabled by default** in evaluation mode, not disabled. Let me verify this logic:

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Based on my analysis of the code, **verbose is actually ENABLED by default** in evaluation mode, not disabled. [[memory:9016782]]

Looking at the implementation:

```796:799:projects/week2/user-memory/main.py
parser.add_argument(
    "--no-verbose",
    action="store_true",
    help="Disable verbose output (verbose is enabled by default)"
```

```804:805:projects/week2/user-memory/main.py
# Set verbose based on no-verbose flag (default is verbose=True)
verbose = not args.no_verbose
```

```359:359:projects/week2/user-memory/main.py
def run_evaluation_mode(user_id: str, memory_mode: MemoryMode, verbose: bool = True, provider: Optional[str] = None, model: Optional[str] = None):
```

The logic works as follows:
1. When `--no-verbose` is NOT provided (default case), `args.no_verbose` is `False`
2. Therefore, `verbose = not False = True`
3. The function signature also defaults `verbose=True`

However, if you're asking about the design rationale for why someone might WANT to disable verbose in evaluation mode, there are several good reasons:

**Clean Evaluation Output**: During evaluation with 60 test cases, verbose output can overwhelm the console with implementation details about memory processing, making it harder to focus on what matters:
- Test case results
- Pass/fail status
- Evaluation scores
- Agent responses

**Performance Focus**: Evaluation mode is about assessing the system's accuracy and capabilities, not debugging its internal operations. The key metrics are:
- Whether the agent correctly uses stored memories
- Response quality scores
- Test case pass rates

**Automated Testing**: When running batch evaluations or CI/CD pipelines, excessive verbose output can:
- Slow down log parsing
- Create unnecessarily large log files
- Make it harder to extract summary statistics

If you want to disable verbose output during evaluation, you can run:
```bash
python main.py evaluation --user test_user --no-verbose
```

This will keep the output focused on test results rather than internal processing details.

# Handle tool calls in streaming
                        if hasattr(delta, 'tool_calls') and delta.tool_calls:
                            for tool_call_delta in delta.tool_calls:
                                if tool_call_delta.index is not None:
                                    # Ensure we have enough tool calls in the list
                                    while len(current_tool_calls) <= tool_call_delta.index:
                                        current_tool_calls.append({
                                            "id": "",

                                        current_tool_calls[tool_call_delta.index]["id"] = tool_call_delta.id
                                    if tool_call_delta.function:

                                        if tool_call_delta.function.arguments:
                                            current_tool_calls[tool_call_delta.index]["function"]["arguments"] += tool_call_delta.function.arguments
                

stream print tool calls in verbose mode

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

I'll help you add verbose output for tool calls in streaming mode. Let me first examine the context around this code to understand the structure better.

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

I'll add verbose output for tool calls during streaming. This will help you see tool calls being constructed in real-time when verbose mode is enabled.

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Now let me improve the formatting by ensuring we add a newline after streaming tool calls as well:

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Let me also improve the tool arguments display to make it more readable:

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Perfect! I've added verbose output for tool calls during streaming. Here's what the changes do:

## Summary of Changes

1. **Tool Call Detection**: When a tool call starts streaming, it immediately prints the tool name with an emoji indicator:
   ```
   🔧 Tool Call [0]: update_memory
   ```

2. **Arguments Streaming**: As the tool arguments stream in, they're displayed in real-time, allowing you to see the JSON arguments being constructed character by character.

3. **Proper Formatting**: Added a newline after streaming completes (whether for content or tool calls) to maintain clean output formatting.

## How It Works

When verbose mode is enabled (`verbose=True`), the system will now:

- Stream regular assistant content as before (prefixed with "Assistant: ")
- Stream tool calls with clear labeling showing:
  - Tool index (for multiple parallel tool calls)
  - Tool name when first detected
  - Tool arguments as they stream in

This provides real-time visibility into what tools the agent is calling and with what parameters, which is especially useful for:
- Debugging memory operations
- Understanding the agent's decision-making process
- Monitoring system behavior during evaluation

## Example Output

When running in verbose mode, you'll now see output like:
```
Assistant: I'll help you remember that information...

🔧 Tool Call [0]: update_memory{"action": "create", "knowledge_to_store": "User's email is john@example.com", "title": "User Contact Information"}

  ✅ Success: Memory created successfully
```

This enhancement makes it much easier to debug and understand the agent's tool usage patterns during both interactive and evaluation modes.

### 👤 You

If the stream contains internal thinking, we should also stream it to console. Also add the internal thinking in the assistant message as this is standard for multi-step tool call.

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

I'll help you add support for streaming internal thinking and including it in the assistant message. Let me first examine how the current streaming handles different types of content.

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

I'll modify the code to properly handle internal thinking that comes with tool calls. In multi-step tool usage, models often provide reasoning/thinking text along with tool calls, and we should capture both.

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Now let's ensure the content (including internal thinking) is always preserved in the assistant message, even when there are tool calls:

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Let me fix the logic to properly handle messages that have both content (internal thinking) and tool calls:

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Let me fix the redundant append that was left from the old code:

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Let me also add verbose output for tool execution results to complete the streaming experience:

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Perfect! I've successfully enhanced the streaming functionality to handle internal thinking and multi-step tool calls. Here's what was implemented:

## Summary of Changes

### 1. **Internal Thinking Detection & Streaming**
- The system now detects when the assistant is providing internal thinking/reasoning (looks for markers like `<think`, `thinking:`, `reasoning:`, `let me`, `i need to`, `i'll`)
- When detected, it displays with a special indicator: `🤔 Internal Thinking:`
- Internal thinking is streamed to console in real-time when verbose mode is enabled

### 2. **Preserved Content with Tool Calls**
- Internal thinking/reasoning content is now preserved in the assistant message even when tool calls are present
- This is standard for multi-step tool usage where the model explains its reasoning before using tools
- The message structure now properly includes both `content` (for thinking) and `tool_calls` (for tools)

### 3. **Enhanced Verbose Output Flow**
The complete verbose output now shows:
```
🤔 Internal Thinking: Let me analyze what needs to be remembered...

🔧 Tool Call [0]: update_memory{"action": "create", "knowledge_to_store": "...", "title": "..."}

⚡ Executing: update_memory (call #1)
  ✅ Tool Result: {"status": "success", "message": "Memory created"}

### 👤 You

No, Check OpenAI API before writing code. This is a special reasoning field, not <think> tags

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

You're absolutely right! Let me check the OpenAI API documentation for how they handle reasoning fields in their streaming responses.

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

You're correct - I apologize for the confusion. In OpenAI's API, especially for models with reasoning capabilities (like o1 models), there's a dedicated `reasoning` field in the response, not `<think>` tags. Let me correct the implementation to properly handle the reasoning field:

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Perfect! I've properly implemented support for the OpenAI API's reasoning field in streaming responses. Here's what the corrected implementation does:

## Key Changes

### 1. **Proper Reasoning Field Handling**
- The OpenAI API (especially for o1 models) uses a dedicated `delta.reasoning` field, not `<think>` tags
- Reasoning content is collected separately from regular content
- Both are preserved and included in the assistant message

### 2. **Streaming Display**
When verbose mode is enabled, the output now shows:
```
🤔 Reasoning: [reasoning content streams here]

---

### 👤 You

# Construct complete message
                # Combine reasoning and regular content if both exist
                full_content = []
                if collected_reasoning:
                    full_content.append("".join(collected_reasoning))
                if collected_content:
                    full_content.append("".join(collected_content))
                
                complete_message = {
                    "role": "assistant",
                    "content": "\n\n".join(full_content) if full_content else None
                }
                

This part is incorrect. OPenAI API has dedicated part for reasoning, content and tool calls

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

You're absolutely right! In the OpenAI API, the message structure keeps `reasoning`, `content`, and `tool_calls` as separate fields in the response. Let me fix this to properly match the API structure:

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Now let me also fix the condition for appending the message to include reasoning:

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Now let me update the final answer logic to properly handle cases with reasoning:

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Let me add reasoning to the result dictionary if it exists:

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Let me check if `final_answer` is properly initialized:

---

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Perfect! I've correctly implemented support for the OpenAI API's dedicated reasoning field structure. Here's the complete implementation:

## Summary of Changes

### 1. **Proper OpenAI API Structure**
The message now correctly maintains separate fields as per OpenAI API specification:
- `reasoning` - Contains the model's reasoning/thinking process
- `content` - Contains the regular assistant message content  
- `tool_calls` - Contains tool call information

### 2. **Streaming Support**
When verbose mode is enabled, the system now properly:
- Streams reasoning content with `🤔 Reasoning:` prefix
- Streams regular content with `Assistant:` prefix
- Streams tool calls with `🔧 Tool Call [index]:` prefix
- Streams tool execution with `⚡ Executing:` prefix
- Shows tool results with `✅ Tool Result:` or `❌ Tool Error:`

### 3. **Message Construction**
```python
complete_message = {
    "role": "assistant",
    "reasoning": reasoning_text,    # If present
    "content": content_text,         # If present
    "tool_calls": tool_calls         # If present
}
```

### 4. **Result Handling**
The function now returns reasoning in the result dictionary when available, allowing calling code to access both the reasoning and the final answer.

## Example Output Flow
```
🤔 Reasoning: I need to analyze the user's request and determine which memory operations are needed...

🔧 Tool Call [0]: update_memory{"action": "create", ...}

⚡ Executing: update_memory (call #1)
✅ Tool Result: {"status": "success", "message": "Memory created"}
