* feat(agents): database-backed storage for custom agent definitions
Add an agent_storage.backend switch (default file, behaviour-unchanged) with a
db backend that stores each custom agent as a row in the shared SQL persistence
layer, so a multi-instance deployment sees the same agents on every node
(#4331, #4357). Introduces an AgentStore interface routing all read/write
surfaces, an agents table + migration 0006, startup validation, and a file->db
importer. Follows the thread_meta store / run_events backend-switch /
0003_scheduled_tasks migration patterns; no new dependency.
* fix(agents): make db storage path production-ready (review round 1)
Addresses review feedback on the db/sync agent-storage path:
- sql.py: mirror the async engine's per-connection SQLite PRAGMAs on the sync
engine (busy_timeout=30000, synchronous=NORMAL, foreign_keys=ON, WAL) so both
engines behave identically against the shared DB; guard the engine cache with
a lock (double-checked) so concurrent first-touch cannot build duplicate
engines or register the connect listener twice.
- routers/agents.py + routers/assistants_compat.py: offload the sync-store reads
that ran on the event loop (list/get/check, update's pre-read + legacy guard +
refresh, and assistants_compat's four list routes) via asyncio.to_thread — on
db+postgres each was a network round trip stalling the loop. Writes were
already offloaded.
- file.py: translate the create() mkdir(exist_ok=False) race FileExistsError
into AgentExistsError (router 409, matching SqlAgentStore's IntegrityError
path); correct the _write docstring — per-file atomic replace, two commits
sequential not transactional.
Tests: sync-engine PRAGMA + engine-cache reuse assertions; file create-race ->
AgentExistsError; strict Blockbuster anchor over the read endpoints so a
regression back onto the loop fails CI.
* fix(agents): address round-2 review on the db store path
- update_agent tool: align the docstring/inline comment with FileAgentStore._write.
Cross-field write atomicity is db-only; the file backend commits config then
soul via two sequential os.replace (a crash between them can leave a fresh
config.yaml beside a stale SOUL.md). The dropped partial-write *reporting* is
an intentional tradeoff — the stage-then-replace safety is preserved
(test_update_agent_soul_failure_does_not_replace_config still holds).
- SqlAgentStore.update(): true upsert. Catch IntegrityError on the
insert-on-missing branch, re-fetch and apply, so two concurrent first-time
writes (e.g. two setup_agent handshakes) converge instead of surfacing a raw
UNIQUE(user_id, name) violation as a 500. Symmetric with create().
- get_agent_store(): document the graph-subprocess config-resolution invariant
(the except->file fallback is a genuine no-config path, not a mask for a
misconfigured graph process) and pin it with two tests driving the real
get_app_config() file resolution: db resolves from an on-disk config.yaml,
file fallback when config is unresolvable.
* test(agents): cover SqlAgentStore.update() write-race upsert recovery
Mandatory-TDD test for the round-2 fix in 0680340a: two concurrent first-time
update()s where the loser's insert hits UNIQUE(user_id, name). Deterministically
forces the IntegrityError recovery path by making the first _row probe miss the
committed winner, and asserts last-writer-wins instead of a surfaced 500.
* fix(agents): sync agent_name across context/configurable and reject empty soul (#3549)
Two independent issues caused custom agent creation to silently fail:
1. build_run_config only wrote agent_name into one container (configurable
or context), so setup_agent — which reads ToolRuntime.context exclusively
since LangGraph >=1.1.9 — saw agent_name=None and wrote SOUL.md to the
global base_dir instead of users/{user_id}/agents/{name}/. Mirror the
dual-write pattern already used by merge_run_context_overrides and
naming.py so both containers always carry the same value.
2. setup_agent persisted whatever soul string it received, including empty
or whitespace-only content, and still reported success. The frontend
then surfaced an unusable agent and the global default SOUL.md could be
silently overwritten with empty content. Reject empty soul before any
filesystem operation so the model can retry.
Tests:
- test_gateway_services.py: dual-write regressions for both configurable
and context entry paths, explicit-agent-name precedence on both sides,
and a shape-parity test against merge_run_context_overrides.
- test_setup_agent_tool.py: empty/whitespace soul rejection, plus
no-overwrite guarantees for existing global and per-agent SOUL.md.
* Update services.py
* feat(agent): add update_agent tool for in-chat custom-agent self-updates (#2616)
Custom agents had no built-in way to persist updates to their own SOUL.md /
config.yaml from a normal chat — `setup_agent` was only bound during the
bootstrap flow, so when the user asked the agent to refine its description
or personality, the agent would shell out via bash/write_file and the edits
landed in a temporary sandbox/tool workspace instead of
`{base_dir}/agents/{agent_name}/`.
Changes:
- New `update_agent` builtin tool with partial-update semantics (only the
fields you pass are written) and atomic temp-file + os.replace writes so
a failed update never corrupts existing SOUL.md / config.yaml.
- Lead agent now binds `update_agent` in the non-bootstrap path whenever
`agent_name` is set in the runtime context. Default agent (no
agent_name) and bootstrap flow are unchanged.
- New `<self_update>` system-prompt section is injected for custom agents,
instructing them to use `update_agent` — and explicitly NOT bash /
write_file — to persist self-updates.
- Tests: 11 new cases in `tests/test_update_agent_tool.py` covering
validation (missing/invalid agent_name, unknown agent, no fields),
partial updates (soul-only, description-only, skills=[] vs omitted),
no-op detection, atomic-write safety, and AgentConfig round-tripping;
plus 2 new cases in `tests/test_lead_agent_prompt.py` covering the
self-update prompt section.
- Docs: updated backend/CLAUDE.md builtin tools list and tools.mdx
(en/zh) with the new tool description.
* feat(agent): isolate custom agents per user
Store custom agent definitions under the effective user, keep legacy agents readable until migration, and cover API/tool/migration behavior with tests.

* fix(setup-agent): prevent data loss when setup fails on existing agent directory
Record whether the agent directory pre-existed before mkdir, and only
run shutil.rmtree cleanup when the directory was newly created during
this call. Previously, any failure would delete the entire directory
including pre-existing SOUL.md and config.yaml.
* fix: address PR review — init variables before try, remove unused result
* style: fix ruff I001 import block formatting in test file
* style: add missing blank lines between top-level definitions in test file
