* feat(clarification): structured form fields for human-input cards
Add a request-side v2 `form` mode to the ask_clarification protocol so
business flows (e.g. expense reimbursement) can collect several values
in one card instead of sequential free-text questions:
- `ask_clarification` gains a restricted `fields` parameter (text /
textarea / number / select / multi_select / checkbox / date)
- ClarificationMiddleware validates and normalizes fields explicitly
(whitelisted types, unknown -> text, select-likes without options ->
text, duplicate/invalid entries dropped, all-invalid falls back to
the legacy modes) since the middleware short-circuits before tool
execution; the plain-text fallback lists fields for IM channels
- Form payloads carry `version: 2` so older frontends degrade to the
text fallback; replies stay on the v1 response protocol — the card
submits a readable summary as `response_kind: "text"`, so journal
persistence and answered-card recovery are unchanged
- Frontend renders typed field controls with required-field validation
and compact multi-select chips
Part of #4400 (scope narrowed per maintainer feedback: request-side
only, no new response kinds, no top-level multi_choice).

* fix(clarification): harden form protocol per review feedback
Address the five review points on #4406:
- Reject field names colliding with JS Object.prototype members on both
sides; frontend reads form values via own-property access only, so
`constructor`/`toString`-style names can no longer leak inherited
members into required validation or the submitted summary
- Close open requests answered through the legacy text fallback: a
visible plain human reply (no response metadata) now marks every
previously-opened request as answered, so upgrading to a v2-aware
frontend cannot leave the composer locked on an already-answered card
- Give checkbox fields deterministic boolean semantics: values are
seeded to an explicit false ("no" in the summary) and `required` means
must-agree/consent; documented in the tool schema
- Make middleware field validation atomic: structurally broken entries
(bad/duplicate/reserved names, over-cap field/option counts or text
lengths) degrade the whole form instead of silently dropping fields;
options are trimmed/deduped with blanks removed so the backend never
emits payloads the frontend parser rejects
- Associate form labels/controls (htmlFor/id), aria-required,
aria-invalid, and error descriptions for accessibility

* refactor(clarification): type the fields item schema via TypedDict
Replace `fields: list[dict[str, Any]]` with `list[ClarificationFormField]`
(a TypedDict with `name` required and the type whitelist as a Literal) so
the provider-facing tool schema documents the item shape instead of an
opaque object relying on the docstring. Runtime validation is unchanged
and stays in ClarificationMiddleware, which intercepts the call before
tool execution. Addresses the non-blocking review suggestion on #4406.

* fix(frontend): drop unsupported aria-invalid from multi-select group
jsx-a11y: role=group does not support aria-invalid; the error linkage
stays via aria-describedby.

* fix(clarification): coerce numeric required flags and normalize fields once
- `_normalize_bool` now coerces 1/0 (some providers serialize booleans
as integers), so `required: 1` no longer silently flips to optional
- `_handle_clarification` normalizes `fields` once and passes the result
to both the text fallback and the payload builder
Addresses the non-blocking review nits on #4406.

* fix(clarification): harden form protocol per contract review round 2
Backend:
- Guard unhashable JSON in the intercept path: `type: []`/`{}` degrades
the field to text and `clarification_type: []` coerces to str instead
of raising TypeError (which, with return_direct, ended the turn with
an error and no card or fallback)
- Add a total budget over the serialized normalized fields (16KB UTF-8
bytes): per-item caps alone admitted forms whose IM text fallback
exceeded channel delivery limits (Slack 40k chars, Feishu ~30KB card),
silently truncating trailing fields; a boundary test proves any
accepted form's fallback stays deliverable
Frontend:
- Submission value now appends a JSON block keyed by stable field names
(readable summary alone is delimiter-ambiguous), with a collision
regression test
- Parser boundary tightened to match backend constraints: empty option
values (Radix SelectItem crash), duplicate option ids/values,
duplicate field names, and the form<->version-2 binding are rejected
- Keep the error node mounted while any field is still invalid so
aria-describedby never points at a removed element (happy-dom
interaction test)
- Required semantics are now accessible: native checkbox control (no
HTML required attribute — it would intercept the custom submit path),
visually-hidden localized "required" markers next to the aria-hidden
asterisks
- Legacy-fallback closure narrowed to the latest unanswered request:
nothing guarantees a single outstanding clarification across runs, and
closing all would silently swallow older decisions; an older request
left open becomes the active card again

* feat(browser): add agentic browser control
* fix(frontend): format browser view changes
* fix(browser): keep browser optional and isolate sidecar layout
* fix(browser): address PR review security and IME findings
- Nginx: add a browser-stream WebSocket location before the generic
/api/threads regex so Live upgrades instead of downgrading to HTTP
(both nginx.conf and nginx.local.conf).
- Ownership: require an existing owned thread for the WS stream and REST
navigate, and tear down the browser session on thread deletion so a
later caller cannot reuse a retained page/cookies by guessing the id.
- SSRF: enforce the URL policy at the browser request boundary via a
context-level route guard covering redirects, popups, iframes, and
subresources (skipped for CDP-attached Chrome).
- IME: skip key forwarding while a composition is active so confirming a
CJK candidate with Enter no longer submits the remote page form.
Adds regression tests for the request guard, session teardown on delete,
and the composing-Enter key decision.
* fix(frontend): smooth streaming in long tool threads
* Revert "fix(frontend): smooth streaming in long tool threads"
This reverts commit f0462516eabe77f138d4027ea1c714fb226683cf.
* fix(browser): address review security and lifecycle findings
- Reject cross-origin WebSocket upgrades on the live browser stream
(Origin allow-list reuse of CORS/same-origin helpers) to close a
WS-CSRF hole, and fail closed when the ownership store is absent.
- Warn when a CDP-attached session runs with the SSRF request guard
off, and drop the unreachable CDP screencast teardown dead code.
- Read browser session launch config from a single canonical source
(browser_navigate) so it is deterministic regardless of call order.
- Bound per-thread Chromium accumulation with idle-timeout eviction
and an LRU max-sessions cap.
- Reset the Live reconnect counter on a successful open so the stream
can't permanently stall after the cumulative attempt cap.
* fix(frontend): reduce long tool thread render stalls
Reuse stable historical message groups during streaming, defer heavy Markdown and browser previews, and lazy-decode message images.
* fix(browser): keep live control responsive during continuous input
Why: Manual browser control felt laggy — a physical click ran the remote
Playwright click three times and each non-move input synchronously awaited a
JPEG screenshot, so events queued behind capture (queue wait up to ~237ms).
The first async attempt used a trailing-edge debounce, which froze the visible
page until a wheel/keyboard gesture stopped ("scroll finishes, then it jumps").
What:
- Frontend forwards one `click` per physical click instead of also emitting
`down`/`up`, so the remote page is not clicked twice per gesture.
- Backend detaches live-frame capture from input dispatch: non-move actions
start a rate-limited background refresh loop (leading frame + bounded cadence)
that keeps emitting frames while input continues and never blocks dispatch.
- Add regression tests: input dispatch no longer awaits the screenshot, rapid
inputs coalesce, and continuous input keeps refreshing before it stops.
Scenarios: Verified in the live Browser panel — a single click completes in
~57ms (was blocked behind a 171ms capture), and a 1.14s sustained wheel gesture
renders ~7 frames throughout the scroll instead of one frame after it ends.

* fix(frontend): harden artifact and markdown rendering
* fix(#4117): restore allow-scripts for scroll-restore, fix citation XSS bypass
willem-bd identified these issues:
1. [REGRESSION] sandbox removed allow-scripts which broke HTML artifact
scroll-restoration — the injected postMessage script could not run.
The prior config (allow-scripts allow-forms without allow-same-origin,
i.e. opaque origin) was already safe. Restored with corrected comment.
2. [XSS bypass] CitationLink rendered <a href={href}> directly before
isSafeHref ran, so prompt-injected [citation:x](javascript:...)
bypassed the safety check. Moved citation block after the guard.
Also:
- Added mailto: and tel: to SAFE_HREF_PROTOCOLS
- Kept anchor-only attributes off the <span> fallback (React DOM warning)
Note: the loadMessages re-throw originally in this commit was dropped
during the rebase — upstream #4065 rewrote useThreadHistory as a
TanStack useInfiniteQuery that already surfaces fetch failures.
* test(e2e): update sandbox assertion to match allow-scripts allow-forms
The artifact preview iframe's sandbox was restored to 'allow-scripts allow-forms'
for scroll-restoration. Update the E2E test to expect the corrected value.
* fix(#4117): address review — ArtifactLink XSS guard, urlOfArtifact sandbox e2e
- Apply the isSafeHref guard to ArtifactLink (artifact-link.tsx) so a
prompt-injected javascript:/data: href in a .md artifact preview cannot
reach a real anchor in the main document, matching the guard in
createMarkdownLinkComponent.
- Add an e2e asserting the urlOfArtifact iframe (non-code
browser-previewable files like PDF) keeps its empty sandbox.
Note: the loadMessages error-surfacing changes originally in this commit
were dropped during the rebase — upstream #4065 rewrote useThreadHistory
as a TanStack useInfiniteQuery whose queryFn already throws on
!response.ok and surfaces the failure via a toast.
* fix(frontend): let write_file non-code previewable artifacts render in sandboxed iframe
When a write_file artifact such as PDF is clicked in chat, the component receives a path that forced isCodeFile=true, hiding the sandboxed iframe behind the code editor. Now non-code browser-previewable files are detected early so the sandboxed iframe renders correctly.
Fixes the E2E test: renders sandboxed iframe for a browser-previewable non-code file.
* fix(#4117): align PDF artifact route pattern with convention (drop /mock/ prefix)
The test used /mock/api/threads/... for the PDF artifact content route,
but the urlOfArtifact helper generates /api/threads/... (without /mock/)
when isMock=false. The other tests (e.g. presented artifacts) already use
the correct /api/threads/... pattern.
* test(frontend): add render-level coverage for unsafe markdown/artifact links
- Render MarkdownLink and ArtifactLink via renderToStaticMarkup and
assert an unsafe javascript: href produces a disabled <span> (never an
<a>), including through the citation-labelled branch, and that safe
https hrefs render hardened anchors (target=_blank, rel=noopener).
- The new ArtifactLink render test caught the unsafe href leaking onto
the fallback <span> through the {...rest} spread; drop the spread in
both span fallbacks so anchor-only attributes (href/target/rel) and
react-markdown's node prop never reach the span.
- Cover mailto:/tel: in the isSafeHref unit cases and fix the stale
SAFE_HREF_PROTOCOLS docstring that still claimed http/https-only.
* fix(frontend): route the agent save-hint through the safe localStorage facade
Export safeLocalStorage from core/settings/local and use it for the
agent-create save-hint read/write so blocked browser storage (Safari
private mode, strict containers, embedded WebViews) cannot throw from
the effect. core/agents/feature-cache.ts already guards its
localStorage access with try/catch, so settings + agent pages are now
consistently best-effort.
* fix(frontend): allow scheme-less relative markdown links in isSafeHref
* feat(frontend): add structured human input cards for ask_clarification
Implement a reusable Human Input Card flow for ask_clarification while keeping
the existing text fallback for older clients and IM channels.
Backend:
- Add structured ToolMessage.artifact.human_input payloads for clarification requests.
- Preserve ToolMessage.content as the readable Markdown/text fallback.
- Normalize clarification options from native lists, JSON strings, plain strings,
mixed scalar values, None, and missing options.
- Derive input_mode as choice_with_other when options exist, otherwise free_text.
- Keep disable_clarification non-interactive behavior as a plain ToolMessage with
no human_input artifact.
- Cover artifact persistence and Gateway message metadata preservation in tests.
Frontend:
- Add human input protocol types, runtime guards, extractors, response builders,
and thread-state helpers.
- Add reusable HumanInputCard with option buttons, free-text input, pending,
read-only, disabled, and answered states.
- Render structured clarification cards from artifact.human_input, with Markdown
fallback for malformed or legacy tool messages.
- Preserve line breaks in structured question/context/option text.
- Hide submitted clarification bridge messages from the chat UI via
additional_kwargs.hide_from_ui.
- Send structured human_input_response metadata through the fourth sendMessage
options argument, preserving run context in the third argument.
- Wire submissions for normal chats, custom agent chats, agent bootstrap chats,
and sidecar chats.
- Derive answered state from raw thread.messages so hidden replies still update
the original card.
- Clear pending state when the hidden reply arrives, dispatch is dropped, or a
later async stream failure appears on thread.error.
* perf(frontend): optimize HumanInputCard UI interactions
- Support Enter key to submit text input (Shift+Enter for newline)
- Render question and context fields as Markdown instead of plain text
- Replace deprecated FormEventHandler type with structural typing
* test(frontend): add unit test cover optimize HumanInputCard UI interactions
* feat(frontend): disabled chatbox when has new human-input-card
* fix(style): lint error fix
* fix: sanitize hidden human input replies
- Preserve IME composition safety for human input card Enter submits
- Treat hidden human input responses as genuine user messages for sanitization
- Keep hidden card replies in memory filtering while excluding malformed/internal hidden messages
- Add regression coverage for card IME handling and hidden reply sanitization
* fix: tighten human input response validation
- Reject empty hidden human input response values
- Remove invalid list ARIA role from human input card options
- Add backend coverage for empty response payloads
