fix(subagents): stamp UTC-aware datetimes on SubagentResult lifecycle (#5153)
## Why

DeerFlow declares one timestamp convention in deerflow/utils/time.py: every lifecycle timestamp is UTC (now_iso / datetime.now(UTC)). SubagentResult writers in subagents/executor.py still used naive datetime.now(), so on any non-UTC host the in-memory lifecycle metadata (started_at / completed_at) was local wall-clock time. The sibling durable-batch path (subagents/batch_service.py) already stamps datetime.now(UTC), so the same run model carried two different conventions depending on which path wrote it.

## What changed

- Added an executor-local _utcnow() helper that stamps datetime.now(UTC).

- SubagentResult.completed_at default in try_set_terminal(), result.started_at in _aexecute(), and the started_at default in _aexecute_admitted() now route through _utcnow().

- Explicit caller-supplied timestamps (completed_at=...) still pass through unchanged.

- Added regression tests asserting the default writers produce UTC-aware datetimes.

## Surface area

- [x] Backend runtime (deerflow.subagents.executor) - internal dataclass lifecycle metadata, no wire format change

- [ ] Frontend UI / Backend API / Sandbox / Skills / Dependencies / Default behavior change

## Bug fix verification

- New tests: tests/test_subagent_executor.py::test_timestamp_writers_stamp_utc_aware_datetimes and test_utcnow_helper_returns_utc_aware_datetime encode the convention.

- Updated BlockingDateTime.now() in the terminal-publication-order test to mirror datetime.now's optional tz argument.

## Validation

- cd backend && python -m pytest tests/test_subagent_executor.py: 136 passed; 2 pre-existing TestBashExecutionHarvest failures reproduce identically on clean main (Windows sandbox env), unrelated to this change.

- ruff format + ruff check clean on both changed files.

feature(gateway): issue request trace ids unconditionally (#5119)
* refactor(gateway): issue request trace ids unconditionally

The request trace id was gated behind logging.enhance.enabled at every
entry point, so downstream code had to keep asking whether one existed:
a header-provenance flag in its own ContextVar, a precedence resolver,
and three-level carrier fallbacks at each consumer.

Bind one unconditionally instead. TraceMiddleware covers Gateway HTTP;
ensure_trace_context covers the entry points that never touch ASGI --
scheduled occurrences, MCP task notification runs, IM channel messages,
and the embedded client -- each scoped to one unit of work so a
long-lived worker task cannot leak one occurrence's id into the next.
The ContextVar becomes the only source; the response header, runtime
context, run metadata and log records are derived outputs.

Consumers now use ensure_trace_id() or resolve_trace_id(*carriers) and
drop their presence guards. Removed: resolve_deerflow_trace_id, the
header-provenance flag and its three helpers, set/reset_current_trace_id,
is_trace_correlation_enabled and its gateway alias.

BREAKING CHANGE: every Gateway HTTP response now carries X-Trace-Id and
it cannot be turned off; logging.enhance.enabled controls log output
only. Installations on the default enabled: false will start seeing the
header. No config keys were added or removed.

* fix(gateway): stop persisting a caller-supplied trace id on the run record

body.metadata forks two ways: through build_run_config into the live run
config, which the run worker restamps, and through create_or_reject into
the run record that the runs API echoes verbatim. Only the first was
covered, so a client sending metadata.deerflow_trace_id made the most
durable and most visible surface of a run disagree with the X-Trace-Id
and the log lines the same request produced -- a correlation id that
does not match the logs is worse than none.

Stamp the server-issued id once at the trust boundary so both forks
receive it, preserving the caller's own metadata keys. Close the same
gap on config.context, which reaches the runtime context by a separate
path: _build_runtime_context no longer merges server-owned keys from the
caller, and _install_runtime_context assigns rather than setdefaults.

A thread's metadata is no longer seeded with the run-scoped id of
whichever run created it -- one thread spans many runs and as many
trace ids.

Found by driving a real run through the Gateway and reading the run back
from the runs API; every unit test built its metadata by hand and so
could not see it.

* fix(gateway): expose X-Trace-Id to split-origin browser clients

X-Trace-Id is not on the CORS safelist, so a browser client served from
a separate origin could not read it -- and those are exactly the clients
that cannot read the Gateway's logs either, leaving them with nothing to
quote in a bug report. Same-origin nginx deployments were unaffected,
which is why this stayed hidden.

Add it to CORS_EXPOSED_HEADERS beside Content-Location, referencing
TRACE_ID_HEADER rather than repeating the literal.

* fix(gateway): keep X-Trace-Id on unhandled-exception 500s

Starlette's ServerErrorMiddleware sits outside every user middleware and
emits unhandled-exception 500s through the raw send, so those responses
never pass TraceMiddleware's header-writing wrapper. The 500 for a server
bug is exactly the response a user most needs to correlate with a log line,
and it was the one response that shipped without the id.

TraceMiddleware now tracks whether http.response.start has been sent. On an
exception with no response started it emits its own plain 500 carrying the
header, then re-raises: the outer ServerErrorMiddleware sees the response
already started and only re-raises too, so the server's exception logging is
untouched. An exception mid-stream keeps propagating unchanged — a second
response start cannot be sent, and the already-written header stands.

The trace id is printable ASCII by construction (normalize_trace_id /
generate_trace_id), which is what makes the raw latin-1 header encoding
safe.

* fix(gateway): strip the forged trace id from the persisted request echo

The run-record fix stopped a forged metadata.deerflow_trace_id on the
authoritative metadata surface, but the raw request echo still carried one:
create_or_reject persists body.config verbatim as runs.kwargs_json, which
the runs API serves back. A client posting config.context.deerflow_trace_id
therefore still got its forged value stored and echoed on one API surface
while the header, logs, run metadata, and checkpoint all carried the real
id — the id is ignored as input there, so echoing it back only manufactures
disagreement.

Two changes close it. redact_config_secrets — already the shared scrub for
that echo, applied at admission and again at serve time, so historical
records are covered too — now also drops deerflow_trace_id from
config.metadata and config.context. And build_run_config now merges run
metadata onto a copy of the caller's config["metadata"] instead of updating
it in place: the nested values of the request config are reference copies,
so the in-place merge was writing the server-stamped key through into
body.config, contaminating the "what the client sent" record before it was
persisted (and incidentally masking the forged-value echo on the metadata
container).

The regression test posts a forged id through body.metadata,
config.metadata, and config.context at once and reads the kwargs echo back
off the run record, failing if either leak returns.

* docs(harness): record the trace-echo scrub, 500 fallback, and accepted retry divergence

The trace section of the harness AGENTS.md now covers the two fixes that
close the derived-output rule (the kwargs-echo scrub in
redact_config_secrets plus build_run_config's copy merge, and
TraceMiddleware's own 500 for unhandled exceptions), and CHANGELOG gains
their Fixed entries.

It also writes down the one accepted divergence: a crash-recovered
scheduled launch reuses the durable run through its idempotency key, and
start_run returns early on idempotency_reused without restamping — so the
run record keeps the first attempt's deerflow_trace_id while the retry's
own log lines carry the freshly minted id of its ensure_trace_context
binding. The divergence is confined to the crash-recovery window and is
accepted rather than fixed: restamping on reuse would rewrite a persisted
record for a run that already exists, which is worse than two ids that each
correlate their own attempt's logs. Written down so the next reader of the
scheduler recovery path does not diagnose it as a bug.

* docs(config): align the logging.enhance schema note with the unconditional trace id

The config-module AGENTS.md still described logging.enhance as the gate for
the Gateway X-Trace-Id header and Langfuse deerflow_trace_id. That model is
gone: ids are issued unconditionally and this block decides log output only.
Left as-is, the stale wording invites an agent to "restore" a header gate it
believes was lost. Reworded to match the sibling AGENTS.md files and
config.example.yaml, with a pointer to the Request Trace Context section
that owns the full model.

* docs(changelog): link the trace entries to #5119

The five new entries pointed at the ([#XXXX]) placeholder with no reference
definition, rendering as literal text instead of a link — and RELEASING.md
step 2 relies on those references when the section becomes release notes.
All five now point at #5119, with the definition appended to the reference
block.

* refactor(harness): rename _stream_without_trace_context to _stream_turn

The name asserted the opposite of what the method now does. It was accurate
while logging.enhance.enabled could route stream() around the trace scope;
with the gate gone it is the only stream implementation left, and it binds
the id itself via ensure_trace_id(). Private, so the rename touches only the
definition and the one stream() call site.

* docs(harness): fit the trace-context guidance inside the AGENTS.md chain budget

The expanded Request Trace Context section pushed the effective AGENTS.md
chain for agents/middlewares to 99,815 bytes, past the 98,304 hard limit
scripts/check_agent_guidance.py enforces in CI (AG002). Compressed the
section from 7,359 to 4592 bytes with no facts removed: the entry-point
table, the derived-output rule and its enforcement points, the accepted
scheduled-retry divergence, the two resolution helpers, the stream()
binding rationale, the log-output-only gate, the CORS listing, the 500
fallback, and the test map all remain.

Sized against the merge, not just the branch: current main grew the same
chain by ~724 bytes, so the check was verified on the merged tree as well
(97,772 bytes; branch tree 97,048).

* fix(gateway): declare content-length on the fallback 500

The pre-response 500 declared content-type but no content-length, leaving
the framing to the ASGI server: chunked on HTTP/1.1, close-delimited on
HTTP/1.0 — the one wire difference from the ServerErrorMiddleware response
it replaces, which sends content-length: 21. The explicit header keeps the
fallback byte-identical to what clients saw before.

* docs(readme): drop the trace-correlation condition from the translations

The zh/ja/fr/ru Langfuse sections still said metadata.deerflow_trace_id
matches X-Trace-Id "when request trace correlation is enabled". The id now
always matches and that condition no longer exists, so each bullet states
the unconditional match and that logging.enhance.enabled only controls
whether the id is printed into logs — the one piece of the feature a user
can still configure.

* test(gateway): pin TraceMiddleware wiring through create_app()

Every X-Trace-Id test exercised a hand-built four-route app, so the real
stack's add_middleware(TraceMiddleware) line was pinned by nothing: deleting
it — or short-circuiting above it — passed CI while silently dropping both
the response header and the ambient id the run-record stamp and enhanced log
records derive from. One case now drives /health through create_app() and
asserts the inbound id round-trips; mutation-checked by removing the wiring
line, which fails exactly this test.

* docs(gateway): note the fallback 500 is CORS-opaque

The pre-response 500 is emitted outside CORSMiddleware — the exception has
already unwound past it — so it carries no Access-Control-Allow-Origin and
a split-origin browser client cannot read the id on this one response,
unchanged from the ServerErrorMiddleware 500 it replaces. Documented on the
class and in the CHANGELOG entry rather than fixed: replicating the origin
allowlist outside CORSMiddleware would let the two policies drift.

* fix(harness): keep abandoned-stream cleanup inside the trace binding

stream() binds the turn's id around each next(inner) and resets it before
yielding, but the finally's inner.close() ran after that binding was gone.
Abandoning the stream therefore drove the inner LangGraph generator's
GeneratorExit/finally path with no trace id — or an unrelated ambient one
from whichever context ran the close — so cancellation and finalization
logs and callbacks did not correlate with the turn they belong to.

inner.close() is now wrapped in a local bind/reset of the same turn id. The
token is set and reset in the same frame, never across a yield, so the
per-step cross-context safety is preserved even when GC closes the
generator from another Context — pinned by the existing copy_context close
test, which now exercises this path. The regression test records the id
from the inner generator's finally and fails without the binding.

* test(harness): teach the worker-trace fake about RunManager.cleanup

Upstream #5112 (bound gateway memory after terminal runs) added a
run_manager.cleanup(run_id) call to run_agent's finalization, so the
merge-commit CI run failed all five worker-trace-binding tests with
AttributeError on this PR's _FakeRunManager. The fake gains the same no-op
shape as its other methods.

* docs(gateway): bring the gateway AGENTS.md back under its soft budget

Upstream #5092 grew backend/app/gateway/AGENTS.md to 40,966 bytes, 6 over
the 40,960 soft budget that
test_agent_guidance_check.py::test_repository_guidance_stays_below_soft_budgets_and_avoids_doc_indexes
enforces — its Unit Tests run on main was cancelled by push concurrency, so
main is currently red on that test and every PR merge-run inherits the
failure. Two whitespace/wording trims in the row #5092 touched (a doubled
space, and "its configured `context_window`" → "its `context_window`")
bring the file to 40,953 with no content change.

feat(harness): deterministic acceptance checklist for subagent delegations (RFC #4651, layer 2) (#5109)
* feat(harness): deterministic acceptance checklist for subagent delegations (RFC #4651, layer 2)

PR4 of RFC #4651: check lead-supplied acceptance_criteria in code when a
subagent completes, so objectively checkable requirements can never be
silently passed by a self-report.

- subagents/acceptance_checks.py: deterministic leaf families —
  file:<path> exists|non-empty and file_written:<path> read through
  read_current_file_content scoped to the shared thread workspace; the
  read uses the sandbox-native virtual path form (the local read
  validator and provider mount tables resolve /mnt/user-data/... paths,
  not host paths); the scope decision canonicalizes with realpath on the
  local sandbox so workspace symlinks cannot escape into uploads; a
  remote provider's "Error: ..." return string is normalized to a
  failed check (provider-typed via is_local_sandbox); a
  UnicodeDecodeError marks a binary deliverable as existing and
  non-empty; out-of-scope paths degrade to UNVERIFIED.
  tests_passed:<command> anchors to a matching recorded bash execution
  with status=success and a test-summary shape; matching is
  shell-structure aware with control-flow attribution (span must end at
  the last segment with provable execution), negating-option values are
  ineligible evidence and a target negated anywhere in the command
  degrades the match, extra flags must be selection-preserving, extra
  positionals widen only after a path-scoped criterion, truncated
  commands degrade via command_truncated, the summary shape is read
  only from output attributable to the matched segment (preceding
  segments provably silent by invocation form), and pass shapes require
  a nonzero passed count. Criterion text is neutralized with
  neutralize_untrusted_tags before storage/rendering. Anything else
  renders UNVERIFIED, never silently passed.
- executor: accumulate bounded bash command/output evidence per streamed
  chunk (merged by tool_call_id, newest-capped) so subagent
  summarization compacting earlier messages cannot erase a recorded
  execution; the recorded status is the actual shell exit status parsed
  from the output's exit marker (signed codes included; the remote
  Command exited with code N form is accepted only as the whole trimmed
  output), falling back to deerflow_tool_meta only when no marker
  exists.
- sandbox providers: e2b/opensandbox/tenki/boxlite append the
  LocalSandbox-style "Exit Code: N" marker on nonzero exit even with
  non-empty output; aio propagates the SDK's structured exit_code on
  both exec paths the same way; local timeouts append Exit Code: 124;
  and _truncate_bash_output always preserves a trailing exit marker
  (signed included) inside its budget, with a 32-char floor raising any
  smaller configured limit, so the actual shell outcome always survives
  in the output text.
- task_tool: run the checklist offloaded (asyncio.to_thread) on the
  completed branch, failure-isolated; stamp the verdict into result
  metadata and render the per-criterion section into the model-visible
  result text.
- status contract: additive subagent_acceptance_verdict transport with
  read-side structural validation.
- delegation ledger: entry carries the verdict and renders a compact
  acceptance segment; gateway strips caller-forged verdicts from both
  ledger entries and message metadata, like the citation verdict.
- blocking-IO anchor pins the offload (teeth proven red->green); leaf
  read errors catch only OSError/SandboxError so unexpected errors reach
  the task-tool-level isolation instead of being mislabeled.

* fix(harness): close acceptance evidence gaps from review (RFC #4651 PR4)

- negating options: overlap with a matched criterion target is now
  checked by path/nodeid prefix, not exact token equality — excluding a
  sub-path of the criterion's selection (pytest tests --deselect
  tests/unit/test_auth.py) degrades to UNVERIFIED instead of holds
- output attribution: any redirection token in the matched final segment
  makes the recorded tail non-attributable (> / >> / 2> are word
  characters to the parser, so redirection was invisible to the matcher)
- silent-source allowlist narrowed from any *activate suffix to the
  */bin/activate shape
- status_contract docstring: restore the shared-fixture sentence and
  note subagent_acceptance_verdict is deliberately outside the fixture
- executor: update_bash_executions publishes [] (stream carried no
  bash-family calls) instead of collapsing it into None, mirroring
  update_tool_receipts

* fix(harness): close acceptance residual gaps from re-review (RFC #4651 PR4)

- tests_passed: add error outcomes to the fail shapes — "4 passed, 1 error"
  and pytest's "ERROR <nodeid>" short summary no longer satisfy the pass
  shape when the exit status is swallowed (|| true) or absent; zero-error
  counts stay clean.
- file leaves: bound the deliverable read — a "wc -c" shell size probe
  answers files above 50k bytes without loading ~2x their size, honoring
  the host-bash kill switch and falling back to the full read on any
  non-integer rendering, so verdicts never get less sound.
- executor: record the exit marker text as status_marker on harvested bash
  evidence; the leaf detail now reports the marker actually seen instead of
  asserting a failure indistinguishable from the command's own trailing text.
- extend the blocking-IO anchor to drive the probe branch inside the
  offload; teeth re-verified red->green.

* fix(harness): close acceptance forgery and bound gaps from P2 re-review (RFC #4651 PR4)

- file leaves: never read unbounded — size is established first (os.stat on
  the validated local host path, so the host-bash-disabled configuration
  needs no shell; a guarded wc -c on remote providers that renders
  missing/unreadable in its own words). Above the 50k cap the leaf answers
  from the size alone, at/below it the full read runs, and an
  unestablishable size degrades to UNVERIFIED instead of an unlimited
  fallback read.
- output attribution: source/. prefixes are never provably silent — a
  crafted */bin/activate path shape says nothing about what the script
  prints, so sourced segments can no longer lend a passing summary.
- executable identity: an explicitly path-spelled criterion now requires
  the same normalized executable path; the basename rule stays only for
  deliberately bare criterion commands.

* fix(harness): run acceptance size probe outside subagent-controlled state (RFC #4651 PR4)

- remote probe no longer runs in the sandbox's persistent shell: a fresh
  env -i /bin/sh with absolute-path stat/realpath (poisoned functions,
  aliases, PATH, exported functions, IFS, locale cannot steer it), plus a
  marker env routing AIO onto a fresh per-call bash.exec session.
- metadata-only: stat never opens content, so a FIFO deliverable cannot
  block the parent for the provider's idle timeout; non-regular files
  (fifo/dir/symlink) degrade to UNVERIFIED.
- containment canonicalized against the literal mount root: a
  final-component symlink or a swapped parent directory (root included)
  cannot redirect the check outside shared storage; unprovable layouts
  degrade to UNVERIFIED.

* fix(harness): canonicalize probe containment against the canonical mount root (RFC #4651 PR4)

Literal-root equality made every remote file leaf permanently UNVERIFIED
on e2b and Tenki, which realize /mnt/user-data as a symlink to the home
dir by default (e2b bootstrap 'sudo ln -sfn', Tenki best-effort symlink).
Containment now compares the file's realpath against the mount root's
realpath — exactly what the provider's own read path resolves, so probe
and read-back stay consistent; final-component symlinks stay rejected by
the non-dereferencing stat, and an intermediate dir-link escape under a
sane root still lands ESCAPED. The inner script is a module constant and
the suite now executes the composed probe for real against on-disk
layouts (real dir, symlinked prefix, final symlink, fifo, missing,
dir-link escape), which the canned-output stub could not see.

* fix(harness): close bare-criterion negation and CDPATH summary channels (RFC #4651 PR4)

- matching: a criterion with no positional selection target (bare pytest,
  make test) stands for the runner's default selection, so ANY negating
  option (--ignore/--deselect/...) makes the recorded run a different
  selection — unprovable. The overlap guard only sees consumed criterion
  tokens, which a bare criterion does not have; scoped criteria keep the
  unrelated-exclusion behavior.
- attribution: cd is no longer blanket-silent — CDPATH makes cd print the
  resolved (subagent-chosen) destination and the pass shapes match as
  substrings, so one mkdir 'all tests passed' plus an export minted a pass
  for any quiet command. A cd argument or CDPATH= value (export or leading
  assignment) carrying any summary shape makes the segment non-silent;
  shape-free cd dir wrappers keep matching.
- docs: _truncate_bash_output states the effective 32-char floor (the
  guarantee previously read as an unconditional max_chars bound).

* fix(harness): close env-assignment and expansion channels in acceptance matching (RFC #4651 PR4)

Self-audit in the shape of the last review rounds — channels the matcher
classified as accounted-for that can change what runs, narrow the
selection, or lend the summary text:

- env assignments are no longer blanket-stripped: only an allowlist of
  inert display/CI knobs (CI, NO_COLOR, PY_COLORS, ...) may prefix a
  matched span, and a non-allowlisted assignment in any preceding segment
  (pure-assignment or export NAME=) is state pollution — PATH redirects
  the executable, LD_PRELOAD/PYTHONPATH/NODE_OPTIONS inject code,
  PYTEST_ADDOPTS/GOFLAGS/MAKEFILES inject selection-changing inputs,
  BASH_ENV runs arbitrary shell startup. All degrade to unprovable.
- runtime expansions: any span token carrying /$( )/backticks, any
  negating-option value carrying an expansion or glob (unknown excluded
  set), and any extra executed token carrying glob metacharacters
  (crafted option-looking filenames narrow invisibly) are unprovable.
  Criterion-side globs stay self-consistent (literal match).
- cd: an argument carrying a runtime expansion or glob is non-silent
  (unknown destination, unknown print); CDPATH= assignments are now
  handled as state pollution at the match layer, subsuming the
  value-shape special case.

* fix(harness): persistent-shell evidence, exact env sets, option-arity scoping (RFC #4651 PR4)

- tests_passed: on a persistent-shell provider (new
  Sandbox.persistent_shell_sessions capability, set by AioSandbox) every
  leaf degrades to UNVERIFIED — any earlier call in the shared session
  could have mutated the state the clean-looking run executed in, and
  only a fresh controlled session (RFC section 6 verifier) can prove
  otherwise. The flag is read from the provider registry without
  acquiring a sandbox.
- env assignments: the allowlist is gone — no variable is provably inert
  across repositories (CI/DEBUG are routinely read by tests). The span's
  assignment prefix must equal the criterion's exactly (values included,
  order-insensitive); any assignment or export NAME= in a preceding
  segment is state pollution.
- scoping: positional targets are now read by option arity, so a path
  embedded in an option (--basetemp=/tmp/p, --junitxml=/tmp/r.xml) never
  counts as a selection target and an extra positional after such a
  criterion narrows the default selection it denotes.

fix(subagents): clean up background task entry on unexpected poller exit (#5069)
* fix(subagents): clean up background task entry on unexpected poller exit

* fix(subagents): pin deferred cleanup to the persistent subagent loop

The non-terminal fallback scheduled the deferred registry cleanup with
asyncio.create_task on the poller's own loop. Under synchronous tool
invocation the sync wrapper runs the tool coroutine through
asyncio.run(), which cancels caller-loop tasks at teardown, so the
cleanup died before executing and the _background_tasks entry leaked —
the same lifecycle leak the terminal path already fixed.

Schedule the deferred cleaner on the process-owned persistent subagent
loop instead, via the new public executor helper
run_on_isolated_subagent_loop (asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe). The
cleaner only touches thread-safe registry helpers, so it is
loop-agnostic. A caller-loop fallback remains for the unreachable case
where the persistent loop cannot be obtained, so scheduling never
raises out of an unwind path that is already handling an error. The
polling-timeout return path, which shares the scheduler, is fixed the
same way.

Tests no longer stub the scheduler: the non-terminal fallback test
drives the real scheduling wrapper on an equivalent long-lived loop and
asserts cleanup runs after asyncio.run() tears the caller loop down,
and run_on_isolated_subagent_loop itself is covered against the real
persistent loop with the caller loop closed underneath.

* fix(subagents): harden interrupted finalization against failing status path

Three edge cases from review on the unexpected-exit unwind:

1. Finalization no longer depends on the failing status accessor.
   _peek_subagent_result distinguishes a gone entry from an unreadable
   one instead of letting the accessor's exception abort the unwind;
   _finalize_interrupted_subagent never raises (so the original poller
   exception is preserved) and attaches the deferred cleaner, whose
   last resort force-removes a persistently unreadable entry via the
   new executor force_cleanup_background_task.

2. The generic-error unwind waits only a short grace period
   (_UNEXPECTED_EXIT_GRACE_SECONDS) instead of the full execution
   timeout before re-raising; the remaining lifecycle stays with the
   deferred cleaner on the persistent subagent loop.

3. The deferred cleaner reports the subagent's final usage (deltas
   since the unwind snapshot included, via final=True bypassing
   usage_reported; the journal dedupes by source_run_id) before
   removing the terminal entry. The report is transferred in a plain
   worker thread so the RunJournal's loop-bound progress flush is
   skipped rather than scheduled on a foreign loop.

* fix(subagents): pin deferred final usage delivery to the parent run loop

_report_deferred_final_usage ran record_external_llm_usage_records in a
to_thread worker, making it the first cross-thread RunJournal writer: the
unlocked accumulators can lose token updates and _tokens_by_model mutations
race get_completion_data() iteration on the parent loop. Capture the parent
loop at unwind time (it is alive in every path that continues the run) and
deliver the final report onto it with call_soon_threadsafe, serialized with
all other journal access; when that loop is already closed (asyncio.run
teardown) the report is dropped on purpose — the run has persisted and
nothing reads the counters back.

The live-loop test exercises the real recorder path (journal captures the
running loop of every call) instead of stubbing _report_subagent_usage, so a
cross-thread report would surface as a wrong-loop entry. Also gates the two
teardown tests on the caller loop actually closing (the deferred cleaner
could otherwise legitimately deliver while that loop is still winding down),
and adds a task_tool-level regression test for execute_async submit failure
leaving no registry residue (rolled back inside execute_async since #5086).

* docs(subagents): document the reverse loop boundary; observability + test fixes

Extend subagents/AGENTS.md's Isolated-loop callback boundary with the
reverse-direction contract from #5069: deferred registry cleanup is pinned
to the persistent subagent loop via run_on_isolated_subagent_loop, and the
final usage report is handed back onto the parent run's loop captured at
unwind time — never invoked from the persistent loop or a worker thread,
which would silently reintroduce the journal accumulator/iteration race.

Dropping the final report (closed parent loop) is the one path where a
subagent's tail usage goes permanently unaccounted, so both drop branches
now log at info with the execution id and the unaccounted record count.

Restore the retention assert in test_deferred_cleanup_task_retained_and_
survives_gc: the bounded wait observes the production done-callback discard,
the assert (not a manual discard) is what fails if that callback is
deleted.

* fix(subagents): honour grace-wait cancellation and shrink deferred-cleaner captures

Two review follow-ups on the unwind:

- The shared unwind absorbs CancelledError (never-raise contract), so a
  graph-node cancellation landing inside the generic-error grace wait was
  swallowed and the node ended as a failed tool call instead of an
  interrupted run. The generic branch now re-checks task.cancelling() after
  the unwind and re-raises CancelledError; the absorb site documents why the
  cancellation path needs it and where the discrimination lives.

- The deferred cleaner captured the whole run runtime, pinning the parent
  run's journal and event store for up to a full poll budget (~31 min) via
  the strongly-held task handle — worst on the polling-timeout path, where a
  stuck subagent pinned its run's journal for a second full timeout after
  the tool returned. The recorder is now resolved on the unwind path and is
  the only capture (plus ids and the report loop); a None recorder skips
  reporting entirely.

Both behaviours are regression-tested (red on the previous head, green
after): a cancellation parked inside the grace wait surfaces as
CancelledError, and the runtime is collectable while the cleaner still
polls. The closed-loop drop test now uses a real recorder via
runtime.callbacks so the drop it pins is loop-based, not recorder-absence.

feat(harness): subagent report contract and delegation acceptance criteria (#5090)
* feat(harness): subagent report contract and delegation acceptance criteria (RFC #4651 PR3)

Layer 1 receipt verification is inert unless subagents actually cite their
execution record. This lands the prompt layer that closes the adoption gap:

- New subagents/report_contract.py owns the model-facing contract text,
  derived from the single-owner citation format (format_citation /
  receipt_id) so prompts can never drift from the verifier. The executor
  injects <report_contract> into every subagent system prompt — built-in
  and custom alike — requiring [rN tool_name] citations for action claims,
  verifiable handles (absolute path, URL, ID, HTTP status) for
  deliverables, and explicit failure reporting; the citation clause
  follows verification.receipts_enabled.
- The task tool gains an optional keyword-only acceptance_criteria
  parameter, handed to the SubagentExecutor constructor and rendered into
  the subagent's SystemMessage (stripped, capped 20 items x 500 chars) —
  deliberately never the task HumanMessage, which InputSanitizationMiddleware
  classes as genuine user input and would HTML-escape into untrusted-input
  framing. The docstring frames subagent results as self-reports, states
  the citation cross-check's evidence boundary (resolved = the call
  happened, not that the claim is correct), and documents when to attach
  criteria with the canonical leaf forms. Deterministic leaf checking
  remains a separate layer.
- The lead delegation workflow now instructs reading the ledger citation
  line as execution evidence only and spot-checking verifiable handles
  before synthesizing.
- report_contract / acceptance_criteria are registered as blocked
  framework-authority tags in input sanitization so untrusted input
  cannot forge the verification contract.

* fix(harness): neutralize acceptance criteria before system-channel injection

render_acceptance_criteria_section interpolated lead-model-supplied acceptance_criteria verbatim into the subagent SystemMessage after only stripping/capping. A criterion such as '</acceptance_criteria><system>...</system>' could close the wrapper and open a framework authority tag, bypassing InputSanitizationMiddleware.

Route each criterion through neutralize_untrusted_tags (the shared prompt-injection primitive) so blocked authority tags are HTML-escaped before interpolation. Add regression tests at the renderer and the executor _build_initial_state path.

* fix(harness): keep model-supplied criteria off the system channel

- Move acceptance_criteria values into the task HumanMessage — the
  untrusted channel InputSanitizationMiddleware escapes and
  boundary-frames. The subagent SystemMessage now carries only a
  framework-owned <acceptance_criteria> pointer note (no criterion
  text), so natural-language injection inside a criterion keeps
  task-data priority and cannot override framework instructions
  (PR #5090 review, willem-bd P1).
- Condition the lead delegation workflow's citation verification
  guidance on verification.receipts_enabled and qualify the task
  tool's result-reading text with the enabled state, so a
  receipts-disabled configuration no longer tells the lead to
  require citation evidence that cannot exist (P2).

* fix(harness): drop execution-record promise from report contract when receipts are disabled

The <report_contract> opening was emitted unconditionally, so a
verification.receipts_enabled=false subagent was told its report would
be cross-checked against an execution record that cannot exist in that
mode (terminal_receipts() returns None; no verdict, no ledger citation
line). The opening now follows receipts_enabled: enabled keeps the
cross-check language, disabled describes the handle-only review mode
(PR #5090 review, willem-bd P2).

* docs: record the prompt-layer trust-boundary self-check

Generalizes the PR #5090 review outcome: before adding prompt text, ask
of every data source in it what trust level it has and which channel it
should ride — model/user-influenceable values ride the untrusted
sanitized data channel, never framework-owned system text. Added to the
PR template (Agents/LangGraph surface) and agents/AGENTS.md.

fix(subagents): harden background-task registry and capacity snapshot edge cases (#5086)
* fix(subagents): harden background-task registry and capacity snapshot edge cases

- execute_async drops the just-registered background entry when submitting
  to the isolated loop fails. The caller sees the exception and never
  polls, and cleanup_background_task refuses non-terminal entries, so the
  entry would otherwise stay as a PENDING zombie forever.
- SubagentExecutionCapacity.snapshot derives queued from len(_waiters)
  instead of iterating it. snapshot is read from non-loop threads (e.g.
  configure_subagent_execution_capacity) while the loop thread mutates the
  deque, so iteration can raise 'deque mutated during iteration'. The raw
  length may count a waiter that just timed out but has not removed itself
  yet, which only makes the busy-check more conservative.

* fix(subagents): close failure-path gaps around background submit

Address both review findings on the background submission lifecycle:

- execute_async() copies the isolated-loop context before registering
  the _background_tasks entry, so a context-copy failure (callback-
  manager copy or loop-bound handler filtering) can no longer strand a
  permanent PENDING entry the caller will never poll.
- _submit_to_isolated_loop_in_context() resolves the loop before
  calling the coroutine factory. As direct run_coroutine_threadsafe
  arguments the coroutine was created first, so a loop-startup failure
  stranded a never-awaited coroutine (RuntimeWarning + retained
  captures until collection). Both call sites share the fix.

New tests verified red on the previous implementation, green after:
- context-copy failure leaves no registry residue
- the real submit helper (only the loop getter patched) never invokes
  the coroutine factory when loop startup fails

* fix(subagents): close the coroutine when scheduling rejects it

run_coroutine_threadsafe can itself raise once the coroutine exists (e.g.
the loop closes between the lookup and the internal call_soon_threadsafe).
Wrap the call, close the rejected coroutine, and re-raise; a focused test
patches only run_coroutine_threadsafe and asserts the created coroutine
reaches CORO_CLOSED.

- verify subagent report citations at task write-back

* fix(gateway): strip forged receipt verdicts from the delegations channel

normalize_input() and the checkpoint-state mutation sanitizer only
stripped server-owned metadata from message-shaped values, so an
external caller could submit a delegation entry carrying a forged
receipt_verdict that render_delegation_ledger would present as
runtime-owned execution evidence. Strip receipt_verdict from
caller-supplied delegation entries on both the run-creation and
thread-state mutation paths, with regression coverage for each.

* fix(harness): close silent-pass gaps in the zero-citation heuristic

The action-claim detector missed the most common completion verbs
(fixed/added/tested/changed/...) and had no CJK coverage at all, so
reports like 'I fixed the bug and added tests.' or '我已经创建了文件并运行了测试。'
were treated as claim-free: citation_resolved=True with no ledger
warning. Broaden the verb lists and add a language-independent safety
net: when the run harvested receipts and a nontrivial (>=240 char)
report cites none of them, flag it UNVERIFIED. Short claim-free
confirmations remain a vacuous pass.

feat(extensions): let an out-of-tree extension observe what the agent did (#4863)
* feat(extensions): let an out-of-tree extension observe what the agent did

DeerFlow's extension system can contribute middleware, services and routes,
but an extension cannot answer basic questions about a run without reaching
into host internals. Several of the facts it would need are destroyed by the
operations that produce them:

  * The middleware chain injects and rewrites a lot of context — date
    reminders, recalled memory, compaction summaries, durable-context data,
    image payloads, activated skill bodies. Downstream, none of it is
    attributable: at the model-call boundary an injected HumanMessage is
    indistinguishable from the user's own, and anything wanting to tell them
    apart has to pattern-match prompt wording, which breaks on the next copy
    edit.

  * Two runs of "the same agent" are only comparable if the chain enforced the
    same limits, prompts and thresholds. Recovering that from outside means
    reading private attributes and guessing which of them change behaviour — a
    guess that rots silently as middlewares gain fields.

  * The lead-agent factory resolves a model after runtime overrides, renders a
    prompt, filters tools through authorization and composes a stack, all
    inside one synchronous call, and none of it survives: a middleware sees its
    neighbours but not the prompt, the run worker sees a graph but not what
    went into it.

  * Summarization is destructive by design. N messages leave the context and
    one summary enters it; afterwards only the summary exists, so "which
    messages became this?" is not reconstructible.

This adds seven neutral facilities so those facts are recorded where they are
still true, and releases the contract package as 0.2.0.

Message provenance
  Producers stamp `deerflow_content_kind` / `deerflow_producer_kind` onto the
  messages they inject or rewrite. Stamping is unconditional — a fact whose
  presence depends on whether an observer is installed is not a fact — and the
  keys are server-owned, so provenance cannot be forged from a request.

Middleware self-description
  Twelve middlewares declare their own behaviour-affecting parameters through
  a duck-typed `release_policy_parameters()`. Long text is hashed rather than
  embedded: a declaration is an identity, not a copy of the prompt.

Agent assembly descriptor
  `assemble_lead_agent()` returns the graph plus a descriptor whose fingerprint
  answers "did anything about this agent change between these two runs?".
  `make_lead_agent()` keeps its graph-only signature — it is the LangGraph
  Server ABI declared in langgraph.json. Tools and skills are sorted before
  hashing because their assembly order is incidental; middlewares are not,
  because stack order decides what wraps what. Host build identity is reported
  but excluded from the fingerprint, so a redeploy does not invalidate every
  agent's identity.

Context compaction observation
  Summarization emits the content hashes of the messages it is about to remove
  joined to the summary that replaced them. Content is the only identity
  available at that seam: the summary does not become a message, and what later
  projects it into a request renders it bounded and escaped rather than
  verbatim.

Neutral policy, transform and MCP-source facts
  Guardrail decisions are published to runtime context under a `__`-prefixed
  key; result-rewriting middlewares append a declared, ordered transform trail;
  MCP tools carry their credential-free logical origin.

Extension route identity
  Contributed routes are session-authenticated and cannot opt out, but
  "logged in" and "administrator" are different questions. Extensions get a
  neutral projection of the caller rather than the host's auth context, and
  `require_admin` fails closed when identity cannot be determined.

Extension-owned tables
  An extension that persists data owns its own MetaData and migration chain, so
  its tables are absent from Base.metadata and `alembic revision --autogenerate`
  proposes dropping them. Extensions declare a table prefix, which is rejected
  at registration if it would shadow a host table.

The contract package stays dependency-free and imports no host code; every new
Protocol method has a default so later additions remain additive. The loader's
pre-1.0 rule requires an exact major.minor match, so extensions written against
0.1 are now refused at startup with an actionable install hint rather than
loading into a host that implements a different surface.

uv.lock records the contract package's new version, so `uv sync --locked` still
resolves on a fresh checkout.

feat(extensions): observe task lifecycle and system model calls (#4684)
* feat(extensions): observe task lifecycle and system model calls

PR 1 (#4636) gave extensions a middleware chain, and a middleware only sees
what passes through the agent graph. Two runtime surfaces stay invisible to
it: when a lead run or a subagent begins and ends, and the DeerFlow-owned
model calls made outside the graph. This slice adds both, with no new
Gateway surface -- routers, services, and the reference extension stay in
PR 3.

Contract (deerflow-extension-api 0.1.1)
---------------------------------------
Two contribution kinds join `middlewares` on the registry:
`task_lifecycle` (`on_task_start` / `on_task_stop`, receiving a `TaskInfo`
and a conservative `TaskOutcome` of completed / aborted / failed) and
`system_model_observer` (`on_system_model_call`, receiving a
`SystemOperationKind`, a `SystemModelRequest` snapshot, and a
`SystemModelResult` carrying either the response or the provider exception
plus a duration).

`SystemModelRequest.messages` normalizes to a tuple at construction. Goal
evaluation and memory extraction pass a message list while title generation
and summarization pass one prompt string, and a bare `str` already satisfies
`Sequence` -- without normalization an observer iterating `request.messages`
would silently walk characters. Copying also makes the frozen snapshot
immutable in fact rather than only by declaration, since observations may run
after the call site returns and keeps mutating its own list.

Registry marks and rollbacks become per-bucket and positional, so an
`install()` that fails after registering two different kinds cannot leave one
of them behind. `needs_task_store` now covers all three kinds: a deployment
that registers only lifecycle hooks still gets a task store.

Task lifecycle
--------------
The lead worker notifies start after the run has started and stop after
completion persistence and the completion hook, but before clearing the
finalizing barrier and publishing the stream end -- holding the barrier
across stop is what keeps a same-thread replacement run from overlapping this
task's lifecycle. Cancellation raised out of the stop notification is
deferred, not propagated in place, so a cancelled run still clears the
barrier and emits its end frame. A subagent with a parent `run_id` wraps its
execution in the same pair inside `finally`, reporting `parent_task_id` so a
delegation tree is reconstructable; a subagent without a `run_id` (embedded
client, standalone LangGraph Server) logs and skips rather than inventing a
parent. Contributors run in registration order inside one shared 3s budget
and every failure is logged and failed open.

System model calls
------------------
Four kinds cover the model calls the middleware chain cannot see: goal
evaluation, memory extraction, title generation, and summarization. Each site
reports both terminal paths without changing the provider exception the host
observes, short-circuits on `has_system_model_observers`, and passes the live
task store when the runtime has one (detached work gets an isolated store).
The sync summarization half stays unobserved on purpose -- it and its only
host caller are the sync side of an async-only runtime, so notifying there
would block a thread on a call site the host never reaches; the reason is
recorded at the call site.

The DeerMem backend must stay vendorable and cannot import the extension API,
so it reports through a new `MemoryCallbacks.on_memory_llm_result` host hook
that the DeerFlow-side callbacks translate into an observation.

Notification loop
-----------------
Extension resources must be touched on the loop that created them, but
subagents can execute on isolated loops and DeerMem runs on a worker thread.
The Gateway registers its serving loop before any runtime dependency starts
and resets it last through the exit stack, so every startup-failure and
cancellation path is covered. Awaited hooks raised on another loop are
dispatched across with `run_coroutine_threadsafe` and awaited under the same
budget; synchronous sites submit fire-and-forget work. Shutdown stops
accepting detached observations before the memory flush -- that flush runs on
a worker thread and can emit memory observations -- while keeping the loop
alive for awaited task hooks until run and subagent drain completes.

Tests
-----
`test_extension_task_lifecycle.py`, `test_extension_subagent_lifecycle.py`,
and `test_extension_system_model_calls.py` cover ordering, fail-open, budget
exhaustion, snapshot binding under a concurrent singleton replacement, the
loop-dispatch and shutdown-suspension paths, and both terminal paths at every
call site. `test_gateway_run_drain_shutdown.py` pins the stop-before-barrier
and drain ordering.

* fix(extensions): decide notification fail-open by origin, observe cancellation

`_notify_each` only guarded `Exception`, so a contributor letting a
`CancelledError` escape — an extension implementing an internal timeout with
cancellation, say — skipped its successors and reached the worker's
deferred-interrupt path, ending an otherwise successful run as cancelled.
Fail-open is about where a failure came from, not its base class: only a
genuine cancellation of the host task increments `Task.cancelling()`, so
propagate on that and contain everything else. `KeyboardInterrupt` /
`SystemExit` still propagate.

`observe_system_model_call` skipped observers on cancellation for the same
base-class reason, leaving goal / title / summarization silent on a terminal
path that is routine — interrupt/rollback admission and shutdown both cancel
the run task, with the provider tokens already spent. Awaiting observers there
is unreliable (a repeated cancel interrupts that await before any of them
runs), so report through the same non-blocking submission the synchronous
memory bridge uses, then propagate the cancellation untouched.

DeerMem keeps `BaseException` around its provider call, now with the reason
recorded: that path runs on a worker thread, where cancelling the awaiting
side never interrupts the running thread, so `CancelledError` cannot arrive
at all. Its host-hook wrapper narrows to `Exception` — only the hook's own
failures are non-fatal, and an observability path must not swallow a process
teardown signal.

* fix(extensions): warn on budget exhaustion, scope observer logs by task, propagate teardown

Review response on #4684:

- The memory observation bridge caught BaseException, which would swallow
  a teardown signal raised while dispatching; it now catches Exception,
  matching the boundary the DeerMem-side call site documents and tests.
- A notification-budget timeout raised mid-hook fell into the generic
  hook-failure path and logged an asyncio-internal traceback; it now logs
  a warning like the pre-hook budget skip, while a TimeoutError a
  contributor raises on its own stays classified as a hook failure.
- System model observer logs passed the operation kind as the task id,
  so log lines said "task goal/title/..."; they now carry the task
  scope id alongside the kind.

feat(extensions): add middleware plugin foundation (#4636)
* feat(extensions): add middleware plugin foundation

* fix(extensions): stop config resolution from masking extension loading

`create_app()` resolved the configured plugin list inside the fail-open
guard around `load_extensions()`. CI has no `config.yaml` (gitignored and
never generated by the workflow), so `get_app_config()` raised
`FileNotFoundError` there and was swallowed as an extension failure --
`load_extensions()` never ran at all, and the four `create_app()` tests in
`test_extension_app_loading.py` passed locally but failed on every runner.

Resolve the plugin list before the guard. Only an absent `config.yaml` is
tolerated, mirroring `_resolve_trace_enabled_for_app_construction()`:
`create_app()` runs at import time, and lifespan still performs strict
config loading before serving. A `config.yaml` that exists but fails to
parse or validate now propagates instead of being reported as an extension
failure -- reporting it as the latter silently dropped a `required: true`
extension rather than failing the boot.

Make the tests config-independent with an autouse `stub_app_config`
fixture, following the existing pattern in `test_gateway_lifespan_shutdown.py`,
and cover both new branches of the config-resolution boundary.

* fix(extensions): bind the run's extension snapshot through subagent delegation

The lead-agent path resolves one immutable loaded-extension snapshot per run
and binds it through task-store allocation and graph construction, but the
subagent path re-read the process-wide singleton at execution time. In
production both are the same object, yet a `set_loaded_extensions()` between
the lead run's start and a subagent's execution (test teardown, a future
hot-reload path) would let one run mix two extension generations — exactly what
the documented invariant exists to prevent.

The graph-build binding is a ContextVar scoped to synchronous construction, so
it has already exited by the time a tool delegates; the snapshot has to travel
through runtime context instead. The run worker publishes it under the
host-internal `EXTENSION_SNAPSHOT_CONTEXT_KEY` (written after the caller merge,
popped when the run has none, so a caller-supplied value is never
authoritative), `task_tool` reads it back through the type-checking
`resolve_run_extensions()`, and `SubagentExecutor` binds it at construction.

Callers outside the Gateway run path — embedded `DeerFlowClient`, standalone
LangGraph Server — install no snapshot and keep the existing
`get_loaded_extensions()` fallback.

* refactor(extensions): defer the ordering table by call, not by a lying tuple

`CORE_ORDERING_CONSTRAINTS` was a `tuple` subclass that overrode only
`__iter__` and resolved into a class-level `_resolved` side channel. A tuple
cannot populate its own storage after construction, so the instance stayed the
empty tuple it was built as: `len()` was 0, `bool()` was False, `in` was always
False, indexing raised, slicing and `reversed()` came back empty, and it
compared unequal to the plain tuples tests substitute for it — all while
iteration yielded the real constraints. Only `assert_ordering` consumed it, and
only by iterating, so the split went unnoticed.

The sibling `_AnchorTable(dict)` uses the same idea soundly because dict is
mutable: `self.update()` fills the real storage, making every inherited
operation correct. That trick does not survive the port to an immutable type.

Replace it with `core_ordering_constraints()`, matching how `stack.py` defers
the same kind of table via `_anchors()`. The deferral is kept — it is about
dependency direction, not just cycles: `extensions/` is the layer the
middleware layer calls into, so a module-scope `agents.middlewares` import here
points the dependency backwards and closes a cycle as soon as any middleware
imports something under `extensions/` at module level. Resolution stays at
`assert_ordering` time, which already runs inside the middleware builder.

Tests pin both halves: the returned value is a plain tuple whose len/bool/
membership/indexing/reversal/equality agree with iteration, and a subprocess
probe asserts importing `extensions.ordering` does not load the middleware
layer while calling the function does.

fix(subagents): prohibit task tool in general-purpose system prompt (#4161)
* fix(subagents): prohibit task tool in general-purpose system prompt (#4159)

The general-purpose subagent correctly lists `task` in disallowed_tools
to prevent recursive nesting. However, the system prompt did not
explicitly tell the LLM that `task` is unavailable. When the subagent
sees the parent agent use `task`, it infers the tool is available and
attempts to call it, triggering a LangGraph tool validation error.

Add an explicit <tool_restrictions> block to the system prompt stating
that `task` is NOT available and the subagent must NEVER attempt to
call it. This prevents the LLM from attempting the call in the first
place, rather than relying on runtime rejection.

Add a regression test verifying the prompt contains the prohibition.

* fix(security): register tool_restrictions in input sanitization denylist

PR #4161 added <tool_restrictions> to general_purpose.py subagent prompt
but did not register it in _BLOCKED_TAG_NAMES. The anti-drift test
test_denylist_covers_framework_authority_blocks caught this: forging
<tool_restrictions> in untrusted input could trick the model into
believing it has (or lacks) tool restrictions it does not.

Add 'tool_restrictions' to _BLOCKED_TAG_NAMES alongside the other
subagent authority blocks (file_editing_workflow / guidelines /
output_format / working_directory).

fix(skills): escape untrusted skill metadata before it enters the model prompt (#4128)
* fix(skills): escape untrusted skill metadata before it enters the model prompt

Skill name/description/allowed-tools come from the frontmatter of a
user-installable .skill archive (POST /api/skills/install or a drop into
skills/custom/); the parser only strips them. The slash-activation and
durable-context siblings already html.escape these exact fields before
rendering them into a model-visible block -- but five other render sites emit
them raw. The sharpest is the default path, <available_skills> in the system
prompt (skills.deferred_discovery: false): a community skill whose description
closes the block can forge a framework-trusted <system-reminder> into the
lead-agent system prompt. Driven through the real apply_prompt_template(), the
forged tag reaches the system prompt raw on main and is neutralized here.

Escape at every render site that emits untrusted skill metadata/content:
- <available_skills> (name/description/location) and <disabled_skills> (name)
  in lead_agent/prompt.py;
- describe_skill output (name/description/allowed-tools/location) and
  <skill_index> (name) in skills/describe.py;
- the subagent <skill name=...> attribute plus the raw SKILL.md body in
  subagents/executor.py::_load_skill_messages -- its direct sibling
  skill_activation escapes both, this escaped neither.

quote=False in element-text positions (matching skill_context and the #4097
correction), quote=True in the one attribute position (matching
skill_activation). category is a controlled enum and is left as-is; escaping is
render-time only, so stored skills are unchanged and re-rendering never
double-escapes.

* fix(skills): escape skill name in the slash-activation prose line

The slash-activation reminder emitted `activation.skill_name` raw in its
prose line while escaping the same value in the adjacent
<skill name="..."> attribute. skill_name is grammar-gated to [a-z0-9-] by
resolve_slash_skill before it reaches the renderer, so this is a
defense-in-depth / consistency fix rather than a reachable injection: the
two positions can never drift if a future caller builds an activation from
an unconstrained name. Reuse the already-computed escaped_skill_name.

fix(subagents): classify recursion-capped LLM error fallbacks as failed (#4056)
The GraphRecursionError except-block in SubagentExecutor._aexecute derives
usable_partial from the last AIMessage's raw non-empty text, without
checking _extract_llm_error_fallback (#4042) first. A handled provider
failure (LLMErrorHandlingMiddleware's deerflow_error_fallback marker)
always carries non-empty user-facing text, so when it lands on the same
turn that trips max_turns, it is indistinguishable from genuine partial
output and gets misclassified as a completed task instead of the failed
provider error it is.

Consult _extract_llm_error_fallback in this except-block too, same as the
normal-completion path above it, and classify FAILED with
stop_reason=turn_capped when it detects the marker.

feat(subagents): show effective model and token usage on task cards (#4049)
* feat(subagents): show runtime metadata on task cards

* fix(subagents): stop task-card render loop and dedupe model fetches

Address code review on the runtime-metadata cards:

- P1 render loop: the terminal ToolMessage is re-parsed on every
  MessageList render and always carries modelName/usage, so the
  presence-based setTasks condition fired a fresh state object each
  render -> "Maximum update depth exceeded". computeNextSubtask now
  returns a value-compared `changed` flag and a pure subtaskNotification()
  routes terminal transitions through the deferred after-render path
  while skipping no-op re-parses.

- Per-card useModels refetch: add staleTime: Infinity to the ["models"]
  query so every subtask card shares one /api/models fetch instead of
  refetching on each mount.

* make format

* refactor(subagents): dedupe token-usage validators + tidy event narrowing

Address PR review follow-ups:

- DRY: extract one shared token-usage validator per side. Backend
  status_contract.normalize_token_usage() now backs both the terminal
  ToolMessage metadata and the subagent.step/.end run events
  (step_events.py), and frontend messages/usage.normalizeTokenUsage()
  backs both the live task_running event (lifecycle.ts) and the terminal
  ToolMessage metadata (subtask-result.ts). Prevents the input/output/
  total_tokens validation from drifting across the four former copies.

- Nit: onCustomEvent narrows event.type once instead of re-checking the
  object shape per branch; the redundant task_started early-return
  (already validated by taskEventToSubtaskUpdate) is dropped.

fix(subagents): inherit summarization middleware and harden step capture (#3875 Phase 3) (#4009)
Phase 3 of #3875 — subagents previously inherited none of the lead's
context-compaction, so a deep-research subagent (max_turns up to 150)
could accumulate >1M cumulative input before max_turns/timeout/token_budget
engaged, even after Phase 2's budget capped the pathological tail.

- Gate the subagent runtime chain on the SAME ``app_config.summarization.enabled``
  switch the lead reads (per maintainer guidance in #3875), via the shared
  ``create_summarization_middleware`` factory. One config covers both chains;
  no separate ``subagents.summarization`` field. No-op when summarization is
  off (factory returns None).
- ``skip_memory_flush=True`` on the subagent path: the factory otherwise
  attaches ``memory_flush_hook`` (when memory.enabled), which flushes
  pre-compaction messages into durable memory keyed by thread_id. Subagents
  share the parent's thread_id, so without skipping the hook a subagent's
  internal turns would pollute the PARENT thread's durable memory
  (#3875 Phase 3 review point).
- Harden ``capture_new_step_messages`` to tolerate history contraction:
  summarization rewrites the messages channel via
  ``RemoveMessage(id=REMOVE_ALL_MESSAGES)``, shrinking len(messages) below
  the step-capture cursor. Without a reset, every step appended after the
  compaction point was dropped until length overtook the stale cursor (#3845
  interaction, maintainer validation point (a)). Cursor now resets to the
  new tail; id/content dedup prevents re-emitting pre-compaction steps.
- Couple the DEFAULT token-budget ceiling to ``summarization.enabled``
  (#3875 Phase 3 review point): 1M when compaction is on, 2M when off
  (preserves Phase 2's deliberate headroom for summarization-off
  deep-research runs that can exceed 1M). A user-set budget (global or
  per-agent) always wins regardless of the switch. Flagged tunable.

The summarization middleware does not implement ``consume_stop_reason``, so
the Phase 2 guard-cap stop-reason channel is unaffected.

feat(mcp): auto-promote deferred MCP tools from routing hints (#4019)
* feat(mcp): auto-promote deferred MCP tools from routing hints

When tool_search.enabled=true defers MCP tool schemas, PR1 routing hints
still require the model to spend a tool_search discovery round trip before
it can call the tool the routing metadata already points at. This adds a
McpRoutingMiddleware that matches the latest user message against PR1
routing keywords and promotes the matching deferred schemas before the
model call, removing that round trip.

Design (soft routing, opt-in, additive):
- Matches only the latest real HumanMessage (shared is_real_user_message
  helper, reused by SkillActivationMiddleware so the two cannot drift);
  case-insensitive substring match, no tokenizer dependency.
- Ordering: priority desc, then tool name asc; capped by the new global
  tool_search.auto_promote_top_k (default 3, clamped 1..5). Does not add or
  consume a per-tool auto_promote_top_k (PR1 schema unchanged); a per-tool
  value is ignored with a DEBUG note.
- Returns a plain {"promoted": ...} state update (not a Command) and relies
  on ThreadState.merge_promoted for union/dedupe, so auto-promote and a
  model-triggered tool_search converge on the same catalog hash.
- Installed before DeferredToolFilterMiddleware on every deferred-tool path
  (lead agent, subagent, embedded client, webhook via shared builders);
  a construction-time assert rejects the reversed order. catalog_hash is
  None / no routing index is a complete no-op, so bootstrap and ACP skip it.
- Privacy: never executes tools, never promotes policy-filtered tools, adds
  no routing keywords or matched tool names to trace metadata or INFO/WARN
  logs.

No behavior change when tool_search.enabled=false.

Tests: index construction, matching semantics, middleware state updates,
same-cycle deferred-filter interaction, lead/subagent/embedded-client
builder wiring + order invariant, config clamping, config.example.yaml
parseability, and privacy assertions.

* refactor(mcp): address auto-promote review nits

- executor: access app_config.tool_search.auto_promote_top_k directly to match
  the lead-agent and embedded-client paths (drop the over-defensive getattr that
  masked missing config); update the subagent test mock to carry tool_search.
- tool_search / mcp_routing_middleware: cross-reference the duplicated routing
  priority/keyword normalization between the builder and the middleware's
  defensive _normalize_index so they cannot silently drift.
- MCP_SERVER.md: document that auto-promote keyword matching is a case-insensitive
  substring test (not word-boundary), advising distinctive keywords.

fix(subagents): unify guardrail caps on additive stop_reason + add token_budget (#3875 Phase 2) (#3980)
Phase 2 of #3875. Two guardrail axes can end a subagent run early — the turn
budget (GraphRecursionError) and the token budget (TokenBudgetMiddleware) —
and both now surface *why* through one additive `subagent_stop_reason` field
instead of a status enum.

This completes and course-corrects Phase 1 (#3949), which shipped the
turn-budget cap as a `max_turns_reached` status enum. The agreed Phase 2
design replaces that enum with an optional `stop_reason` field
(token_capped | turn_capped | loop_capped): a new enum value would break v1
consumers, while an additive field is ignored by older frontends and ledger
readers. `max_turns_reached` and SubagentStatus.MAX_TURNS_REACHED are removed.

- subagents.token_budget config (default enabled, 2,000,000 tokens, warn 0.7)
  with per-agent override; TokenBudgetMiddleware is now attached in
  build_subagent_runtime_middlewares so the cost-ceiling backstop engages for
  every subagent. The hard-stop does not raise — it strips tool_calls and
  lets the run finish with a final answer, recording the cap on a per-run
  consume_stop_reason() accessor.
- executor.py: on normal completion it reads consume_stop_reason() and stamps
  completed + token_capped when the budget fired; on GraphRecursionError it
  recovers the last AIMessage partial (completed + turn_capped) or, if nothing
  usable survived, failed + turn_capped. SubagentResult gains stop_reason.
- status_contract.py / contracts/subagent_status_contract.json (v2) /
  frontend subtask-result.ts: additive subagent_stop_reason field, pinned by
  test_status_values_match_contract / test_stop_reason_values_match_contract.
- task_tool.py + delegation_ledger.py: drop the max_turns_reached paths; the
  ledger captures stop_reason and renders model-facing "capped" guidance so
  the lead reuses a capped completion knowingly.

The 2,000,000-token default is deliberately loose (tighten to taste) — it
would have roughly halved the reported 4.4M burn while leaving legitimate
deep-research runs (max_turns=150) room. Subagent summarization is a follow-up.

fix(subagents): surface turn-budget cap as MAX_TURNS_REACHED with partial result (#3875 Phase 2) (#3949)
* fix(subagents): surface turn-budget cap as MAX_TURNS_REACHED with partial result (#3875)

Phase 2 of #3875. When a subagent exhausts its turn budget
(recursion_limit == max_turns), LangGraph raises
GraphRecursionError from agent.astream. The generic
except Exception in _aexecute misclassified it as FAILED and
discarded the partial work already streamed into final_state, so the
lead could not tell 'broken subagent' from 'out of budget' and got an
empty failure.

Catch GraphRecursionError specifically (before the generic handler)
and set a distinct SubagentStatus.MAX_TURNS_REACHED terminal status,
recovering the partial result from the last streamed chunk via a shared
_extract_final_result helper (refactored out of the normal-completion
path so both paths render content identically).

Extend the cross-language status contract so the new value travels on
additional_kwargs.subagent_status: a capped run is result-bearing, so
make_subagent_additional_kwargs / read_subagent_result_metadata
carry subagent_result_brief + subagent_result_sha256 (the
recovered work, like completed) AND the cap notice on subagent_error
-- the one status that carries both. task_tool.py returns it via the
shared _task_result_command; the delegation ledger prefers the
partial result_brief and renders model-facing guidance (reuse / retry
tighter / raise max_turns). Frontend collapses max_turns_reached to the
failed pill with the cap notice on error.

No agent-loop, runner, or persistence behavior touched; default
max_turns is unchanged.

* refactor(subagents): consolidate content-stringify onto shared helper

Address review feedback on #3949 (willem-bd, copilot-pull-request-reviewer):

- executor.py: drop the private `_stringify_message_content` — a third
  near-duplicate of `utils/messages.py::message_content_to_text`.
  `_extract_final_result` now delegates to that canonical helper; the
  "No response generated" sentinel is pushed down to the consumer (the
  shared helper returns "" for no-text, matching every other call site).
- task_tool.py: align the live `task_failed` event's error string with
  the canonical "Reached max_turns=N" used by the logger, the structured
  `error=`, and the executor (was "Reached max turns (N)").

Behavior for real AIMessage content is unchanged; only atypical edge inputs
(consecutive bare-string list items; empty content) now match the canonical
helper that every other call site already uses.

`extract_response_text` is intentionally left as-is: it filters by OpenAI
content-block `type`, a different shape with many callers and its own tests.

feat(channels): expose IM channel_user_id to sandbox commands as DEERFLOW_CHANNEL_USER_ID (#3926)
* feat(channels): expose channel_user_id to sandbox commands as DEERFLOW_CHANNEL_USER_ID

IM-channel skills need the sender's platform identity (Feishu open_id,
Slack Uxxx, ...). The channel manager already writes channel_user_id into
body.context, but the Gateway whitelist dropped it. Forward it into the
runtime context only (never configurable, which is checkpointed), and have
bash_tool export it as a fixed env var through a shell-quoted command
prefix.

The identity deliberately does not ride execute_command(env=...): that
channel is reserved for request-scoped secrets, and a non-empty env
switches AioSandbox onto the bash.exec path (fresh session per call,
image >= 1.9.3 required), which would have broken every IM bash command
on older sandbox images and abandoned persistent-shell semantics on new
ones. A command-string export keeps the legacy path, stays visible in
audit logs (it is an identifier, not a secret), and gives per-call
correctness in group chats where one thread and sandbox are shared by
senders with different platform ids.

Skipped on the Windows local sandbox, whose PowerShell/cmd.exe fallback
has no POSIX export.

Part of #3914

* feat(channels): propagate channel_user_id to subagents; cap value length

Review findings from the pre-PR verification pass:

- Subagent delegation dropped the sender identity: task_tool now captures
  channel_user_id from the parent runtime context and the executor
  forwards it into the subagent's context, mirroring the guardrail
  attribution fields (user_role/oauth_*/run_id). Without this, bash
  commands delegated via task lost the group-chat sender's id.
- body.context is client-writable on web requests, so values over 256
  chars are ignored instead of bloating every command string sent to the
  sandbox.

* fix(channels): set-or-unset channel_user_id so identity is per-call regardless of AIO session persistence

Review (willem-bd): the identity export could leak across senders in a
shared group-chat AIO sandbox. The AIO no-env path reuses a persistent
shell session (the class-lock reason, #1433), and the 256-char/type guard
made some commands carry no prefix — so a dropped-id command could resolve
the id a previous sender exported.

Make per-call correctness independent of session semantics: an IM-channel
command (channel_user_id present in context) now always carries an explicit
prefix — export VAR=<quoted> for a valid id, or unset VAR for an unusable
one (empty / non-str / over the cap). Non-IM runs (no key) are untouched.
A prefix unset has none of the '& ; unset' suffix hazard raised earlier.

Verified on a real AIO 1.11.0 container: the no-id shell path auto-creates
a session per call (does not persist today), but an explicit shared session
DOES persist (export stale-A -> readback [stale-A]); the unset prefix
clears it (-> []). So the fix holds even on an image whose no-id path
persists. Regression tests cover the dropped-id group-chat window and the
non-IM passthrough.

Part of #3914

* test(channels): align channel_user_id task test with new Command return shape

The merge from main changed task_tool to return a Command(update=...)
instead of a plain string; update the assertion to extract the tool
message via the existing _task_tool_message helper, matching the sibling
tests. Fixes the CI backend-unit-tests failure introduced by the merge.

- enhance logging with configurable trace_id-aware formatting
- propagate deerflow_trace_id into runtime context and Langfuse metadata
- keep enhanced logging disabled by default to preserve existing behavior

* fix: harden trace correlation wiring

- Make logging enhancement a restart-required startup snapshot and remove per-request config reads from TraceMiddleware
- Restrict trace ids to printable ASCII before writing them to response headers, logs, and Langfuse metadata
- Gate implicit DeerFlowClient trace-id creation behind logging.enhance.enabled while preserving explicit caller opt-in
- Bind embedded client trace context per stream step to avoid generator ContextVar leaks and cross-context reset errors

feat(subagents): persist and display subagent step history (#3779) (#3845)
* feat(subagents): persist and display subagent step history (#3779)

Capture both assistant turns and tool outputs during subagent execution,
stream them in task_running events, and persist them as subagent.* run
events so the subtask card's step timeline survives a reload.

Backend:
- step_events.py: pure layer (capture_step_message, build_subagent_step,
  subagent_run_event) shared by streaming and persistence
- executor.py: capture ToolMessage outputs, not just AIMessage turns
- worker.py: persist task_* custom events to RunEventStore (category
  "subagent" keeps them out of the thread feed; list_events backfills)

Frontend:
- core/tasks/steps.ts + api.ts: SubtaskStep model, messageToStep,
  eventsToSteps, mergeSteps, fetchSubtaskSteps
- subtask card accumulates live steps and backfills on expand
- carry run_id onto history content messages for the events endpoint

* fix(subagents): show AI turns in subtask card + paginate step backfill (#3779)

Two follow-ups to the subagent step-history feature:

Problem 1 — reload backfill could silently truncate the step timeline because
list_events capped at 500 events (seq-ASC) across the whole run. Add task_id
filtering + an after_seq forward cursor to list_events (all three stores +
abstract base + the /events route), and make fetchSubtaskSteps page through one
task's subagent.step events until a short page. No schema migration: the DB
filter rides the existing run-scoped index via event_metadata["task_id"].

Problem 2 — the card only rendered tool steps, so persisted AI turns were never
shown. Replace toolStepsForDisplay with stepsForDisplay: interleave AI reasoning
turns (with text) and tool steps by message_index, drop blank-text AI turns, and
drop the trailing final-answer AI turn when completed (already shown as result).
Card renders AI steps as muted clamped markdown with a sparkles icon.

Tests: store task_id/after_seq filtering + pagination across memory/db/jsonl,
the /events route forwarding, stepsForDisplay rules, and fetchSubtaskSteps
pagination. Docs updated in both AGENTS.md.

* make format

* fix(subagents): capture full multi-tool step tail, batch step persistence, cap tool-call args (#3779)

Address PR review findings on the subagent step-history feature:

1. executor.py streamed on stream_mode="values" and captured only
   messages[-1] per chunk, so a multi-tool-call turn (ToolNode appends
   one ToolMessage per call in a single super-step) lost all but the last
   tool output in both the live task_running stream and the persisted
   history. Replace with capture_new_step_messages, which walks the
   newly-appended tail (and still re-checks the trailing message on
   no-growth chunks so id-less in-place replacements survive).

2. worker.py persisted each step with the store's low-frequency put()
   (a per-thread advisory lock per call); a deep subagent (max_turns=150)
   emits hundreds of steps on the hot stream loop. Replace with
   _SubagentEventBuffer, which batches via put_batch (flush on terminal
   subagent.end, at FLUSH_THRESHOLD, and in the worker finally).

3. build_subagent_step capped only text; tool_calls[].args were copied
   verbatim, so a large write_file/bash payload produced an unbounded
   subagent.step row. Cap each call's serialized args at
   SUBAGENT_STEP_MAX_CHARS, flagged args_truncated.

Tests updated/added for all three; AGENTS.md refreshed.

* fix(subagents): merge backfill into latest subtask state; reuse message_content_to_text (#3779)

Address the remaining two PR review findings:

4. subtask-card's fetchSubtaskSteps().then(updateSubtask) closed over a
   stale tasks snapshot: a late-resolving backfill wrote setTasks({...stale}),
   clobbering SSE steps/status and sibling subtasks that arrived during the
   fetch. useUpdateSubtask now reads/writes through a tasksRef mirroring the
   latest state (ref-to-latest), and the pure per-subtask transition is
   extracted to core/tasks/subtask-update.ts::computeNextSubtask (unit-tested).

5. step_events._content_to_text duplicated deerflow.utils.messages.
   message_content_to_text; call the shared helper instead (guarding None
   content with 'or ""' so a tool-call-only turn still renders as "").

Tests added for computeNextSubtask and the None-content case; AGENTS.md docs updated.

perf(subagents): dedup streamed AI messages via a seen-id set (O(n^2) -> O(n)) (#3687)
_aexecute collects AI messages from agent.astream(stream_mode="values"),
which re-yields the full state every super-step. The duplicate check rescanned
the append-only ai_messages list on every chunk -- any(m["id"] == message_id) --
so a run with M messages did O(M^2) work, and M reaches max_turns=150 for the
general-purpose / deep-research subagent.

Track an id-keyed set alongside ai_messages: id-bearing messages become O(1)
set lookups, and the id-less full-dict-compare fallback is preserved. Behavior
is unchanged.

feat(guardrails): expose authenticated runtime context in GuardrailRequest (#3665)
* docs: guardrail runtime attribution spec

* docs: guardrail request attribution implementation plan

* feat(guardrails): add runtime user context and attribution fields to GuardrailRequest

Extend GuardrailRequest with optional runtime attribution fields so that
pluggable GuardrailProviders can access authenticated user context and
tool-call-level attribution:

- Gateway injects user_role, oauth_provider, oauth_id into runtime context
  alongside the existing user_id (server-authenticated only, client spoofing
  prevented)
- GuardrailRequest gains: user_id, user_role, oauth_provider, oauth_id,
  run_id, tool_call_id (all optional, backward compatible)
- GuardrailMiddleware reads these from ToolCallRequest.runtime.context
- thread_id now actually populated from context (was always None before)
- Tests: 15 new/expanded tests covering Gateway injection, runtime context
  reading, partial/missing fields, and client spoofing prevention
- Docs: new Runtime Attribution section in GUARDRAILS.md with provider
  example and YAML policy illustration

* fix(guardrails): propagate attribution to subagents

* fix(guardrails): complete subagent attribution propagation

fix(gateway): attribute token usage to actual models (#3658)
* fix(gateway): attribute token usage to actual models

Capture per-call model names from LLM response metadata for lead, middleware, and subagent calls.

Persist a per-run token_usage_by_model breakdown and aggregate by that map in both SQL and memory stores, with legacy fallback to the run-level model_name for older rows.

Add regression coverage for by_model totals, caller consistency, active progress snapshots, store parity, and SubagentTokenCollector model propagation.

* fix(gateway): harden by-model token aggregation

Use usage.get("total_tokens", 0) when reducing per-model token usage maps so aggregation tolerates partially written or manually edited JSON blobs without changing behavior for journal-written rows.

* docs(gateway): clarify by-model run count semantics

Document that by_model[*].runs counts the number of runs in which a model appeared, so multi-model runs can increment multiple model buckets.

feat(subagents): attribute subagent spans to parent thread's Langfuse session (#3611)
The subagent execution path did not call inject_langfuse_metadata(...)
and built its model with attach_tracing=True, so subagent LLM/tool
spans landed in Langfuse as isolated top-level traces carrying fresh
session ids and the default user. They were findable in the unfiltered
trace list but did not group under the parent thread's session card,
and Langfuse cost attribution for subagent traffic did not line up
with the parent conversation — even though DeerFlow's internal token
accounting (SubagentTokenCollector) was already correct.

Extend the lead-agent tracing wiring to the subagent path so a single
subagent run produces one trace that shares the parent thread's
session_id and user_id, with a subagent:<name> trace name:

- subagents/executor.py: append build_tracing_callbacks() output to
  run_config["callbacks"] (preserving SubagentTokenCollector) and
  call inject_langfuse_metadata(...) with thread_id, user_id, and
  the normalized subagent:<name> trace name. Build the model with
  attach_tracing=False so model-level tracing does not double-count
  with the graph-root callbacks — the same pairing the lead agent
  uses.
- tools/builtins/task_tool.py: resolve user_id via
  resolve_runtime_user_id(runtime) at the parent tool layer (before
  the background thread starts) and thread it through
  SubagentExecutor.__init__, because the _current_user contextvar
  is not guaranteed to survive the _execution_pool boundary.

Trace topology is unchanged: subagent traces remain separate top-level
traces in the same session, not nested as child spans under the lead
trace (Plan B follow-up).

Tests: tests/test_subagent_executor.py::TestSubagentTracingWiring
covers the callback append, the session/user/trace-name injection,
the disabled-langfuse no-op, the DEFAULT_USER_ID fallback, the
empty-name trace-name fallback, and the env-tag emission. Existing
test_create_agent_threads_explicit_app_config_to_model_and_middlewares
now also asserts attach_tracing=False.

Docs: CLAUDE.md Tracing System section documents subagents/executor.py
as a third injection point alongside worker.py and client.py.

fix(subagents): raise general-purpose max_turns to 150 and default timeout to 30min (#3610)
* fix(subagents): raise general-purpose max_turns to 150 and default timeout to 30min

Deep-research subtasks failed out of the box with GraphRecursionError (Recursion limit of 100 reached): the built-in general-purpose subagent caps at max_turns=100. Raise it to 150 and bump the default subagent timeout from 900s (15min) to 1800s (30min) so the extra turns have time to run instead of shifting the failure to a timeout. The lead agent recursion_limit (100) is unchanged; the failures are subagent-only.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs(subagents): clarify lead recursion_limit is independent of subagent max_turns

Add comments at both lead recursion_limit=100 sites (gateway services + channel manager) explaining the lead's LangGraph super-step budget is separate from subagent depth, so the two 100s are not conflated. Comment-only, no behavior change.

* docs(subagents): clarify built-in vs custom timeout scope; pin bash max_turns in test

Review follow-ups: (1) clarify SubagentConfig docstring + global timeout field/comment that the 1800 default applies to built-in subagents (custom agents keep their own timeout_seconds); (2) pin bash.max_turns==60 in the defaults regression test so the config.example.yaml doc cannot drift; (3) rename test_default_timeout_preserved_when_no_config -> test_explicit_global_timeout_propagates_to_general_purpose since it intentionally exercises an explicit non-default 900. No runtime behavior change.

fix(subagent): isolate subagent from parent run checkpointer (#3559)
Subagent _create_agent() now passes checkpointer=False to prevent
inheriting the parent run's synchronous checkpointer via copy_context(),
which would cause NotImplementedError when aget_tuple() is called on
the async path. Subagents are one-shot delegations that never resume,
so persistence is unnecessary.

feat(subagents): extend deferred MCP tool loading to subagents (#3432)
* feat(subagents): extend deferred MCP tool loading to subagents (#3341)

Subagents now reuse the lead agent's deferred-tool path: when
tool_search.enabled, MCP tool schemas are withheld from the model and
surfaced by name in <available-deferred-tools>, fetched on demand via the
generated tool_search helper. DeferredToolFilterMiddleware deterministically
rewrites request.tools to hide the deferred schemas (the prompt section is
discovery only, not enforcement).

Consolidates the assembly into deerflow.tools.builtins.tool_search, now the
single home for both assemble_deferred_tools (centralized fail-closed guard,
replacing the lead-only private _assemble_deferred) and the relocated
get_deferred_tools_prompt_section. Shared by every build path: lead agent,
embedded client, and subagent executor.

tool_search is appended after the subagent's name-level tool policy and is
treated as infrastructure: its catalog is built from the already
policy-filtered list, so it can never surface a tool the policy denied.

Follow-up to #3370. Fixes #3341.

* test(subagents): assert the real middleware builder emits a working deferred filter (#3341)

The existing recipe test hand-constructs DeferredToolFilterMiddleware, so it
cannot catch a regression in how build_subagent_runtime_middlewares (the call
executor._create_agent actually makes) wires the deferred setup into the
filter. Add a test that sources the filter from the real builder given a real
setup and runs it through a graph: a wrong catalog hash would silently stop
promotion, a dropped filter would stop hiding — both now caught.

Running the full real middleware stack is intentionally avoided (the other
runtime middlewares need sandbox/thread infra to execute, which would make the
test flaky); their attachment + ordering before Safety stays locked in
test_tool_error_handling_middleware.py.

* test(subagents): keep executor tests config-free in CI

* chore: trigger ci

* Potential fix for pull request finding

fix(subagent): structured subagent_status field over text parsing (#3146) (#3154)
* fix(subagent): structured subagent_status field over text parsing

Closes #3146.

## Why

The frontend used to derive subtask card state by string-matching the
leading text of the `task` tool's result. That contract surface was
fragile — `#3107` BUG-007 and the `#3131` review both surfaced cases
where new backend wording (`Task cancelled by user.`,
`Task polling timed out after N minutes`, `ToolErrorHandlingMiddleware`
exception wrappers) silently broke the card lifecycle. The frontend
fallback kept growing more prefixes; any future rewording would break
it again.

## Design

1. **Backend → frontend contract**: `ToolMessage.additional_kwargs`
   carries `subagent_status` (one of `completed | failed | cancelled |
   timed_out | polling_timed_out`) and an optional `subagent_error`
   blob. The frontend prefers it over parsing `content`.

2. **Centralised stamping, not 8 sprinkled stamps**: rather than have
   each of `task_tool.py`'s 5 normal-return + 3 pre-execution `Error:`
   paths remember to set `additional_kwargs`, `ToolErrorHandlingMiddleware`
   stamps the field after every task-tool call. Adding a new return
   path in `task_tool.py` cannot now skip the stamp.

3. **Cross-language contract fixture**: the prefix→status mapping is
   the one piece both sides must agree on. The shared fixture at
   `contracts/subagent_status_contract.json` lists every backend return
   string, the expected status, and what the error substring should
   contain. Backend test (`backend/tests/test_subagent_status_contract.py`)
   and frontend test (`frontend/tests/unit/core/tasks/subtask-result.test.ts`)
   both load that fixture and assert the same cases. A wording drift on
   either side fails the matching language's test.

4. **Round-trip serialisation pinned**: the round-trip test asserts
   `ToolMessage.model_dump_json()` → `model_validate_json()` preserves
   `additional_kwargs.subagent_status`. Catches the case where a future
   LangChain or Pydantic upgrade silently strips unknown kwargs.

5. **Frontend status collapse documented**: the backend has five status
   values, the frontend card has three (`completed | failed |
   in_progress`). `cancelled` / `timed_out` / `polling_timed_out` all
   collapse to `failed` with the original status preserved in `error`.
   `parseSubtaskResult` returns `in_progress` for unknown values so a
   backend that ships a new enum variant before the frontend upgrades
   degrades to the legacy prefix fallback instead of getting pinned.

## Changes

Backend:
- `deerflow.subagents.status_contract` — new module exporting
  `SUBAGENT_STATUS_KEY`, `SUBAGENT_ERROR_KEY`,
  `SUBAGENT_STATUS_VALUES`, `extract_subagent_status(content)`, and
  `make_subagent_additional_kwargs(status, error)`.
- `ToolErrorHandlingMiddleware`: new `_stamp_task_subagent_status`
  helper centralises the stamp; `wrap_tool_call` / `awrap_tool_call`
  stamp on the success path; `_build_error_message` stamps on the
  wrapper path (carrying `ExcClass: detail` into `subagent_error`).
  Non-task tools are untouched.
- New tests: `test_subagent_status_contract.py` (19 cases from the
  shared fixture + status-enum / blank-error / unknown-status
  rejection) and `test_tool_error_handling_subagent_stamp.py`
  (middleware integration: terminal-content stamps, non-terminal
  doesn't, non-task tools untouched, async path mirrors sync,
  existing additional_kwargs survive, JSON round-trip preserved).

Frontend:
- `parseSubtaskResult(text, additionalKwargs?)` — prefers the
  structured stamp; falls back to the legacy prefix matcher for
  historical threads / unknown future status values.
- `STRUCTURED_STATUS_TO_SUBTASK` documents the five→three collapse.
- `message-list.tsx` passes `message.additional_kwargs` through.
- `subtask-result.test.ts` adds a structured-status block + a
  fixture-driven contract block; legacy prefix tests stay green for
  the fallback path.

Contract:
- `contracts/subagent_status_contract.json` — single source of truth
  both languages load. Whitespace variants, varied N for polling
  timeouts, the 3 pre-execution `Error:` returns task_tool produces,
  and the middleware wrapper shape are all in there.

## Test plan
- `make lint` clean (backend + frontend).
- `pytest tests/test_subagent_status_contract.py
   tests/test_tool_error_handling_subagent_stamp.py` → 37 passed.
- `pnpm test --run` → 103 passed (was 76, +27 new).

## Migration / fallback retirement

The text-prefix fallback stays in place until backend telemetry shows
the frontend never hits it for newly produced messages. At that point
a follow-up PR can drop the prefix branches and keep only the
structured-status branch.

Refs: bytedance/deer-flow#3138 (split summary), #3107 (origin), #3131
(prior prefix-only fix), #3146 (this issue).

* fix(subtask): back-fill result/error from text when structured status present

Three follow-ups on the PR #3154 review:

1. `readStructuredStatus` no longer short-circuits the prefix parse.
   The backend currently stamps only the `subagent_status` enum value;
   the human-facing `result` body and wrapped-error message still live
   in `ToolMessage.content`. Dropping the text parse meant successful
   tasks rendered empty completed pills and wrapped failures lost their
   diagnostic. Now both shapes get composed: structured status wins,
   `result`/`error` come from text when both sides agree, and a lying
   success body under a `failed` stamp is dropped instead of leaking.

2. Replace the ESM-incompatible `__dirname` fixture lookup in
   subtask-result.test.ts with `fileURLToPath(new URL(..., import.meta.url))`.
   The frontend package is `"type": "module"`, so the previous path
   would have thrown at runtime if anything ever changed under the
   contract directory.

3. Drop the `$schema` reference from contracts/subagent_status_contract.json
   pointing at a file that doesn't exist in the tree.

Three new tests cover the structured + text composition: completed
back-fills the success body, failed back-fills the wrapper text, and
unrecognised content under a `failed` stamp stays empty rather than
echoing noise.
