From b4410f64d469c0035f29c3b6bcc34b619a301fe9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Evan <1178327328@qq.com> Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 06:46:58 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] fix(agents): keep the delegation ledger exact across HITL approval and reused call ids (#8128) * fix(agents): count each delegation once when a provider reuses its call id Tool-call ids are unique per response, not per conversation. Some providers number every response's calls from call_0, so two task calls in one run can share an id. The delegation ledger used (run_id, tool_call_id) as a delegation's identity: - extract_delegations built one id -> entry map over the whole run, so a later call_0 replaced the earlier delegation's description and took its result while it was still running. - merge_delegations replaced the same (run_id, id), keeping one entry. - SubagentLimitMiddleware counted distinct ids, so the per-run cap (subagents.max_total_per_run) never advanced past the first call_0 and a run could launch any number of subagents one response at a time. Each entry now also records dispatch_message_id, the AIMessage that issued the call, and results pair through pair_tool_call_results, which answers a call only from its own response. The reducer, DurableContext's change filter and the cap use the extended identity. An entry without a dispatch id still updates its run's entry for that call id, and a dispatch-scoped entry adopts a ledger entry written before the field existed, so runs in flight across the upgrade are not counted twice. The steer path names the dispatching AIMessage from the tool request's state, so its delegation update and the graph's own capture stay one entry. * fix(agents): close an earlier run's dangling dispatch by its own response _close_delegations_left_by_earlier_runs decided "answered" by (run_id, tool_call_id). When a stopped run had dispatched call_0 twice, the first reply kept the second, dangling entry in_progress, so the lead kept hearing "already delegated" for work nothing would finish. Entries that carry dispatch_message_id are now decided by pairing that response's calls through pair_tool_call_results. Legacy entries and dispatches no longer in history keep the id-based inference. Also pin that two runs reusing call_0 stay two ledger entries, and cross-reference the three delegation identity helpers. * fix(agents): settle an approval-gated task delegation in the ledger With `task` in `hitl_approval.tools`, the paused run records the dispatch as in_progress and the resume run executes it. The resume run opens with no HumanMessage, so its capture window starts after the pre-existing messages and never contains the dispatching AIMessage: the result was dropped and the entry stayed in_progress with no result_brief, forever. DurableContext now pairs results the resumed window receives with the last pre-existing dispatch and settles the issuing run's entry, keeping its run_id instead of re-tagging it. HITL denials of `task` carry `cancelled` subagent status, so a rejected or denied delegation settles too. * fix(agents): address review on the delegation ledger - Steer path: hold each wait's dispatch AIMessage locally and pass it to the observer, so a later response reusing the call id while the first call is still observed cannot take over its args or dispatch id. - New-turn close: a dispatch whose reply carries subagent status settles from that reply instead of staying in_progress, covering a crash between the tools checkpoint and the next capture. - Reuse thread_state.delegation_key instead of a duplicate identity helper in DurableContext. - CHANGELOG: reference #8128. * docs(changelog): drop the #8128 entry per review --- .../deerflow/agents/middlewares/AGENTS.md | 4 + .../agents/middlewares/delegation_ledger.py | 67 ++--- .../middlewares/durable_context_middleware.py | 109 ++++++-- .../middlewares/subagent_limit_middleware.py | 13 +- .../harness/deerflow/agents/thread_state.py | 81 ++++-- .../harness/deerflow/approvals/middleware.py | 10 + .../deerflow/runtime/runs/input_control.py | 25 +- .../tests/test_delegation_reused_call_ids.py | 238 ++++++++++++++++++ .../tests/test_hitl_task_delegation_ledger.py | 151 +++++++++++ backend/tests/test_run_input_graph.py | 4 +- docs/guide/subagents.md | 9 +- 11 files changed, 616 insertions(+), 95 deletions(-) create mode 100644 backend/tests/test_delegation_reused_call_ids.py create mode 100644 backend/tests/test_hitl_task_delegation_ledger.py diff --git a/backend/packages/harness/deerflow/agents/middlewares/AGENTS.md b/backend/packages/harness/deerflow/agents/middlewares/AGENTS.md index 3075c3f1ab..309f887d89 100644 --- a/backend/packages/harness/deerflow/agents/middlewares/AGENTS.md +++ b/backend/packages/harness/deerflow/agents/middlewares/AGENTS.md @@ -74,6 +74,10 @@ make test-blocking-io subagent work is evidence, not acceptance. - **Status comes from metadata.** Do not infer a delegation, todo or tool status from reply text. +- **A tool-call id is unique only within one response.** Some providers number + every response's calls from `call_0`, so a delegation is identified by its run, + its call id and the AIMessage that issued it.

A `task` call that needs approval keeps its ledger entry +across the pause: the approved call records its result there, and a rejected or +denied call is recorded as cancelled. The lead agent can spawn sub-agents on the fly — each with its own scoped context, tools, and termination conditions — when delegation has clear net benefit from real parallel latency, specialist capability, or context isolation. It keeps interdependent scopes and overlapping side effects out of parallel dispatch; a bounded sequential chain can still run in one sub-agent when specialist or context-isolation benefit clearly wins. The lead uses the fewest useful sub-agents and re-evaluates later batches instead of fanning out solely because a task is large or multi-step. Sub-agents report back structured results, and the lead agent verifies and synthesizes them into a coherent output. Deterministic tool receipts cover both direct tool messages and state-updating `Command` results such as delegated `task` responses; when the receipt ledger reaches its context budget, it retains the newest actions and their original receipt IDs. Operators can disable this provenance layer with `verification.receipts_enabled: false`. Their configured skills are resolved from the same user-scoped catalog as the lead agent, so user-owned custom skills remain available without exposing another user's version. Their internal AI and tool messages stay scoped to the delegated graph instead of entering the parent chat stream. Reloaded thread history enforces the same boundary: callback-captured sub-agent AI responses remain available in run-event diagnostics but are excluded from the parent transcript, while the parent `task` result remains attached to its subtask card. Long-running sub-agents compact older history when summarization is enabled and re-inject the summary as guarded, hidden durable context before continuing, so recent assistant/tool activity remains grounded in the task. Their system instructions, including the role and report contract, survive compaction; if only those instructions and the current request would be summarized, compaction is skipped. Provider/model request failures are reported as failed sub-agent tasks rather than successful results, so the lead agent and Web UI can react to them correctly. Concurrent parent runs also receive independent server-side sub-agent execution IDs, so a provider that reuses a tool-call ID cannot make one run poll, cancel, or clean up another run's background task. Collapsed sub-agent cards show the effective model and, when the provider returns usage metadata, a cumulative token total that updates after each completed sub-agent LLM call and persists after a reload. When token usage tracking is enabled, completed sub-agent usage is attributed back to the dispatching step from that run's terminal tool-message metadata rather than a process-global provider-ID cache.
