Why
Every model request cloned the full prepared input just to keep it for the legacy after-agent hook. That copy gets more expensive as the conversation grows.
What
Move the prepared input into the sampling loop and return it with the result. If the request retries, keep the first input so the hook still sees the same data as before.
This removes one
O(n)clone per sampling request, wherenis the size of the prepared input. It savesO(n)copy work andO(n)temporary memory.No behavior change is intended.
Performance
Local rollout traces show turns reaching roughly 260k input tokens. On turns of that size, this removes the only unconditional full prepared-input clone on the happy path. That avoids one request-sized allocation/copy per sampling attempt for large conversations, and the savings scale linearly with request size.
