 After each run, DeerFlow records a workspace change summary for the run-owned `workspace` and `outputs` directories. The Web UI shows a compact "files changed" badge on the assistant turn; opening it reveals created, modified, and deleted files with text diffs when safe to display. Uploads are excluded because they are user inputs, not agent-generated changes. Large, binary, or sensitive-looking files are shown as metadata only.
 
-Files presented through `present_files` remain part of the thread's artifact state, and the Web UI restores the artifact panel and selected document after a page refresh.
+Files presented through `present_files` remain part of the thread's artifact state, and the Web UI restores the artifact panel and selected document after a page refresh. The currently selected formal artifact is refreshed once when the run finishes so edits become visible without a manual reload.
 
 With `AioSandboxProvider`, shell execution runs inside isolated containers. With `LocalSandboxProvider`, file tools still map to per-thread directories on the host, but host `bash` is disabled by default because it is not a secure isolation boundary. Re-enable host bash only for fully trusted local workflows. Host bash commands have a wall-clock timeout, and long-lived processes should be started in the background with output redirected to a workspace log.

 2. Stream events update thread state (messages, artifacts, todos, goal). The main thread stream uses the LangGraph SDK's `throttle: true` mode so updates received in the same macrotask coalesce before React is notified; do not replace it with a numeric delay without validating the SDK's trailing-debounce behavior on a continuous stream.
    File-tool artifact auto-open work must run in an effect with timer cleanup; never schedule timers while rendering streamed `write_file` or `str_replace` updates.
    `ThreadState.artifacts` remains the authoritative artifact list. The artifacts provider persists only thread-scoped panel UI state (`open`, selected path, and a refresh bootstrap cache) in session storage; an initial empty stream value must not overwrite that restored state before history finishes loading.
+   Formal artifact content is refreshed once when the run finishes; transient `write-file:` previews remain message-driven.
 3. `useThreadHistory` loads persisted conversation pages from `GET /api/threads/{id}/messages/page`, preserving the backend's thread-global event `seq`; rendering overlays checkpoint/live copies at their matching canonical identities (a summarized checkpoint may contain a protected early input plus a recent tail). Context-compaction rescue diffs every retained visible identity rather than slicing at the first anchor, and keeps a run-scoped ledger of committed visible messages so replacement updates and repeated rolling checkpoint windows cannot erase an already displayed step. The resolver suppresses checkpoint/transient prefixes whose canonical position is still behind an unloaded cursor page instead of collapsing that unknown gap before a recent anchor, then adds optimistic messages without timestamp re-sorting. History invalidation preserves already-loaded pages so their established ordering positions are not discarded.
 4. Stop actions call the LangGraph SDK stream stop path; `core/threads/hooks.ts` invalidates current-thread, thread-history, token-usage, and sidebar/search caches immediately and schedules one follow-up refetch because SDK stop may finish via abort + fire-and-forget cancel before backend title finalization commits
