### API

```python
nemo_gym.health.checks._agent_steps(
    trajectory: dict[str, typing.Any]
) -> list[nemo_gym.health.types._AgentStep]
```

Normalize canonical TrajectoryTurn records for structural checks.

```python
nemo_gym.health.checks._agent_turn_hollow(
    trajectory: dict[str, typing.Any],
    subject: dict[str, int | str]
) -> list[nemo_gym.health.types.Finding]
```

```python
nemo_gym.health.checks._bind_policy_call_views(
    trajectory: dict[str, typing.Any],
    calls: list[dict[str, typing.Any]]
) -> tuple[nemo_gym.health.types._CallBindings, nemo_gym.health.types._CallBindings]
```

Bind turn-only and turn-or-invocation references with shared indexes and resolutions.

```python
nemo_gym.health.checks._call_identity(
    call: dict[str, typing.Any]
) -> str | None
```

```python
nemo_gym.health.checks._call_locator(
    call: dict[str, typing.Any],
    fallback: int
) -> dict[str, int | str]
```

```python
nemo_gym.health.checks._call_ref_key(
    ref: typing.Any
) -> str | None
```

```python
nemo_gym.health.checks._call_reference_signature(
    reference: dict[str, typing.Any]
) -> tuple[str, str, str, str]
```

```python
nemo_gym.health.checks._canonical_trajectory(
    record: dict[str, typing.Any]
) -> tuple[dict[str, typing.Any] | None, str | None]
```

```python
nemo_gym.health.checks._chain_ended_on_failure(
    chain: collections.abc.Sequence[dict[str, typing.Any]]
) -> bool
```

Whether this model's own last call, in time, failed.

Per model rather than across every captured call: a judge or auxiliary
request landing after a failed policy call would otherwise read as the
rollout recovering, and hide the failure.

Without timestamps a multi-call chain cannot be ordered -- `call_index` is
the position in the merged trajectory list, so a producer-supplied retry
can precede the attempt it retried. Say nothing rather than call a
recovered rollout unhealthy.

```python
nemo_gym.health.checks._deduplicate_reference_items(
    reference_items: collections.abc.Sequence[tuple[str, dict[str, typing.Any]]]
) -> tuple[tuple[str, dict[str, typing.Any]], ...]
```

```python
nemo_gym.health.checks._ended_on_failed_call(
    calls: collections.abc.Sequence[dict[str, typing.Any]]
) -> bool
```

Whether any model's own last call failed.

```python
nemo_gym.health.checks._is_context_overflow_rejection(
    call: dict[str, typing.Any]
) -> bool
```

Exclude only explicit upstream context rejections, never inferred empty generations.

```python
nemo_gym.health.checks._is_failed(
    call: dict[str, typing.Any]
) -> bool
```

```python
nemo_gym.health.checks._is_failed_attempt(
    call: dict[str, typing.Any]
) -> bool
```

A failed model call that returned no finished response, so it has no usage to account for.

Covers HTTP error replies and calls cut by a cancellation or timeout. This does not mean
nothing was generated: the server may have spent tokens on a cut call, and a cut stream may
have delivered part of its output first. Gym cannot tell which from the capture (the first
streamed event can arrive before any token), so these calls are skipped rather than guessed
at; `run.stats.model_call_errors.usage_unknown` counts them. Whether the rollout recovered is
`rollout_ended_on_failed_model_call`'s question.

A failed call that did finish (it has a finish reason) keeps the token checks, as does a
body capture could not parse, which is a capture defect rather than a failed call.

```python
nemo_gym.health.checks._is_successful(
    call: dict[str, typing.Any]
) -> bool
```

```python
nemo_gym.health.checks._item_has_tool_call(
    item: typing.Any
) -> bool
```

```python
nemo_gym.health.checks._item_model_call_references(
    items: typing.Any
) -> tuple[tuple[str, dict[str, typing.Any]], ...]
```

Return usable model-call references from turns or invocations.

```python
nemo_gym.health.checks._model_call_missing_token_counts(
    bindings: nemo_gym.health.types._CallBindings,
    subject: dict[str, int | str]
) -> list[nemo_gym.health.types.Finding]
```

```python
nemo_gym.health.checks._model_call_runaway_generation(
    bindings: nemo_gym.health.types._CallBindings,
    subject: dict[str, int | str]
) -> list[nemo_gym.health.types.Finding]
```

```python
nemo_gym.health.checks._model_call_zero_completion_tokens(
    bindings: nemo_gym.health.types._CallBindings,
    subject: dict[str, int | str]
) -> list[nemo_gym.health.types.Finding]
```

```python
nemo_gym.health.checks._model_chains(
    calls: collections.abc.Sequence[dict[str, typing.Any]]
) -> dict[typing.Any, list[dict[str, typing.Any]]]
```

Group calls by the model they went to.

```python
nemo_gym.health.checks._nonempty(
    value: typing.Any
) -> bool
```

```python
nemo_gym.health.checks._normalized_trajectory_calls(
    trajectory: dict[str, typing.Any]
) -> list[dict[str, typing.Any]]
```

```python
nemo_gym.health.checks._replay_identity(
    call: dict[str, typing.Any]
) -> str | None
```

```python
nemo_gym.health.checks._response_has_content(
    response: typing.Any
) -> bool
```

```python
nemo_gym.health.checks._rollout_ended_on_failed_model_call(
    trajectory: dict[str, typing.Any],
    subject: dict[str, int | str]
) -> list[nemo_gym.health.types.Finding]
```

Flag a model whose own last call in the rollout failed.

The bound-call checks cannot see this: binding resolves a reference by
`(model_ref, response_id)` or `model_call_id`, and a call that failed came
back with none of them, so it is absent from `matched_calls` no matter what
the producer claims. Reading the captured calls directly also covers the
agents that publish no trajectory at all.

Judged per model and in time order -- see `_chain_ended_on_failure`. Only
the chain's last call counts, so a failure the client retried successfully
stays healthy; the signal is that the rollout ENDED on a failure, which is
what makes its reward indistinguishable from a genuine zero.

```python
nemo_gym.health.checks._rollout_missing_agent_turns(
    trajectory: dict[str, typing.Any],
    subject: dict[str, int | str]
) -> list[nemo_gym.health.types.Finding]
```
