* fix(agents): store an explicit null description as empty
PUT /api/agents/{name} accepted "description": null and wrote it into the
agent's config, but AgentConfig.description is a str. Every later load of
that agent failed validation: the PUT itself, GET and repair PUTs returned
500, the file backend dropped the agent from the list, and the db backend
failed the owner's whole list.
Store an explicit null as the empty default, and have parse_agent_config
read a stored null description (already written by this route, or a bare
YAML key) as empty so affected agents load again.
* docs(changelog): reference #7638 for the agent null description fix
* docs(agents): document that a null description resets it to empty

* 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.
