Description
OpenAI structured refusals arrive as blocked/error
Messages, but the shared adversarial conversation manager parsed them as malformed JSON and exhausted the JSON retry budget.This change detects errored messages before parsing and raises
BadRequestException, so TAP, Red Teaming, and Crescendo all stop retrying deterministic failures. TAP prunes the affected node; Red Teaming and Crescendo fail through the standard strategy lifecycle. Malformed normal responses still retry.Tests and Documentation
