spec: PIPELINE-1 — resolve-lang-once, timeout defaults, match-phase liveness, reserved-name stamping suppression

[JarbasAl]

Internal-purity refinement of OVOS-PIPELINE-1.

Changes

• Resolve language once (§4, §9.1): when ovos.utterance.handle carries no authoritative lang, the orchestrator MUST resolve the utterance language once from OVOS-SESSION-1 §3.2 evidence and pass the resolved tag to every plugin's match call. Plugins MAY refine the tag but MUST NOT re-derive it independently — per-plugin resolution lets the same utterance match in different languages at different stages. Match.lang stays the plugin's declaration.
• Match-phase timeout (§4.4): RECOMMENDED default of 10 s (tuning value, not a MUST); an applied bound MUST be at least as large as any stage-internal collection ceiling, or the stage is killed mid-collection on every utterance it handles.
• Context decay alignment (§6.1): the post-match turns_remaining decrement moves outside the matched branch, running after the match round whether or not any intent matched, with freshly written entries exempt — exactly the OVOS-CONTEXT-1 §4/§4.1 model. Promotion citations corrected to CONTEXT-1 §5.1.
• Orchestrator liveness (§6.5): the bus loop MUST keep servicing subscriptions — including poll replies destined for an in-flight plugin — while a match call is in flight; a bus loop that blocks on the synchronous return deadlocks every bus-round-trip match strategy.
• Stamping suppression (§7.1, §7.3): the session.active_handlers push suppression MUST key on the Match's intent_name appearing in the §7.3 reserved-name registry, never on the producing pipeline_id — stated identically at both sites.
• Citation and language hygiene: SESSION-1 registry citations corrected to §2.2; "reservations currently in force" and "in their own PR" replaced with timeless wording.

CHANGELOG entry appended under the spec's current class. Version field unchanged: per VERSIONING.md it is a V1/V2 compatibility class, and these refinements do not change class.

Warning

Review limit reached

@JarbasAl, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 52 minutes

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.
