How do you handle invalid JSON / schema mismatch — retry or hard stop?

[Zi-Ling]

I’m experimenting with local LLM function calling
and noticed that invalid JSON or partial schema matches
are pretty common failure modes.

One thing we found in practice is that retrying after
a schema / validation failure often makes things worse,
because corrupted arguments leak into subsequent steps.

I’m curious about the intended boundary here in this project:

• Are schema mismatches considered retryable?
• Or should they be treated as hard stop conditions?

Would love to understand the design philosophy.
