Hyeonsang Cho	bbced51022	fix(gateway): close two input-sanitization bypasses (#5375) ... * fix(gateway): reject forged framework-injection markers in run input `is_genuine_user_message` treats `hide_from_ui` and a human `name="summary"` as proof the framework authored a message, and `InputSanitizationMiddleware` skips those — escaping a real reminder's blocks would corrupt trusted context. Neither marker was server-owned, so an external caller could set either one and place a raw `<system-reminder>` outside the user-input boundary markers, which the lead-agent system prompt declares trusted internal framework data. The `hide_from_ui` variant is also filtered out of the thread UI, so the forgery was invisible where it landed. Both markers are now stripped from untrusted input, on the run path and on the thread-state mutation route that writes straight into a checkpoint. Framework injection happens inside the graph and never crosses this boundary, so nothing the framework does is affected, and `trusted_internal` callers (IM channels, the MCP task-notification launcher) keep writing hidden messages. HumanInputCard replies are the one legitimate external `hide_from_ui`: the frontend sends it alongside a `human_input_response` payload, so a message carrying a valid one keeps the marker. That buys no bypass — the predicate already classifies those as genuine, so they stay sanitized. The name check reuses the predicate's own `_SUMMARY_MESSAGE_NAME` rather than a fourth copy of the literal, and matches by `isinstance` exactly as the predicate does: `HumanMessageChunk` is a `HumanMessage` whose `type` is not `"human"`, so a type-based check would leave that subclass's marker settable. `name` is only reserved on human messages — on a ToolMessage it is the tool's own name. Three tests in test_gateway_services.py and test_message_provenance.py asserted that a caller-supplied `hide_from_ui` survives. That assumption was the bypass; they now pin the opposite, with a genuinely caller-owned key kept alongside to prove the stripper is surgical. * fix(agents): sanitize every genuine user message, not only the newest The input guardrail scanned backwards for the first genuine user message and returned, so only the newest turn was ever sanitized. The transformation is request-scoped (`wrap_model_call`, never written to state), so thread state keeps the raw text: once a newer turn arrived, the previous turn's payload was replayed to the model verbatim, outside the boundary markers the lead-agent prompt declares trusted framework data. The guardrail therefore held for exactly one model call. Reaching it needed no forged metadata and no crafted request body — type the payload in one turn, then send anything at all in the next. A single request carrying two user messages did it in one shot, since every message but the last was skipped. `_process_request` now walks the whole list and `_sanitize_message` owns the per-message work; every existing branch (the `original_user_content` split for upload turns, the multimodal rfind fallback, the metadata repair) is unchanged. Framework-injected messages stay excluded by `is_genuine_user_message`. Unexpected errors now fail open per message rather than per request. Iterating history widened the old blast radius: one unprocessable row would have dropped sanitization for the whole request, handing an attacker the newest turn by crafting an older one. `GraphBubbleUp` still propagates. Side effect worth noting: each turn's rendering is now stable across model calls. Previously a turn was wrapped on its own call and unwrapped on the next, changing the prompt prefix behind the newest turn and defeating prompt caching. test_only_processes_last_user_message pinned the old scope; it now pins that every turn is processed, and keeps driving the `wrap_model_call` entry point. * docs: record the message-metadata trust boundary and sanitization scope `agents/middlewares/AGENTS.md` owns the depth for InputSanitizationMiddleware and documented only the `original_user_content` half of its trust boundary. Left alone it would teach an agent that `hide_from_ui` is caller-owned and that the guardrail covers one turn — and the usual failure mode is an agent "restoring" the behaviour it believes was lost. The entry now carries both markers, the HumanInputCard exception, the whole-history scope, and the per-message fail-open rule. The note lives only there. The root and `backend/AGENTS.md` layers are orientation that points at the module guides owning the depth, and `backend/AGENTS.md` is inherited by every backend chain — prose added there inflates more than twenty of them, and `scripts/check_agent_guidance.py` shows the middlewares chain has about a kilobyte of room against its hard limit. CHANGELOG.md and CHANGELOG_zh.md record it under Security, continuing the existing prompt-injection lineage. * fix(gateway): mark caller-hidden messages instead of stripping the marker Review follow-up. Stripping a caller-supplied `hide_from_ui` closed the bypass but broke three frontend senders that use the marker purely to keep a context message out of the transcript: the quoted conversation context (`buildHiddenConversationQuoteMessage`), the sidecar context prompt (`buildHiddenSidecarContextMessage`), and the agent save command. None carries a `human_input_response`, so the HumanInputCard carve-out did not cover them, and nothing else hides them — `_is_branch_visible_message` and the frontend's `isHiddenFromUIMessage` both key solely on `hide_from_ui`, and no backend reads `conversation_quote_context` or `sidecar_context`. All three would have rendered as user-visible chat bubbles. The marker plays two roles and only one of them is a vulnerability. The security requirement is that a caller-supplied marker cannot skip sanitization, not that it cannot hide a message. So the roles are separated instead of the marker being removed: the Gateway keeps it and stamps the server-owned `UNTRUSTED_INPUT_KEY`, and the guardrail now asks `requires_input_sanitization` — the mark, else the genuine-user test. Hidden stays hidden; untrusted content is sanitized either way. The reserved `summary` name is handled the same way and no longer rewritten. Marking rather than removing is also the safer shape in general: `hide_from_ui` is read for presentation, journal persistence, memory filtering and IM outbound as well, and this boundary should not silently change any of them. `is_genuine_user_message` is deliberately left alone. `ToolReceiptMiddleware` uses it for turn-boundary detection, where a caller's hidden context message must keep counting as not user-authored; widening it there would move the ledger's turn window. `requires_input_sanitization` sits beside it in `message_utils` so the two questions can be compared. The three tests that asserted a caller-supplied `hide_from_ui` is removed now assert it survives and carries the mark — which restores the original intent of the two provenance cases, whose comment already read "caller-owned keys must survive". * docs(gateway): rewrite normalize_input's docstring around the mark Review follow-up. The paragraph still described the pre-4a3344f6 strip model and contradicted both the implementation and the middlewares AGENTS.md paragraph updated in that same commit: it called `hide_from_ui` server-owned, said carrying it skips sanitization entirely, and repeated the premise this branch disproved — that HumanInputCard replies are the only legitimate external use. It now describes what the code does: the markers stay caller-owned and are preserved because three frontend senders rely on `hide_from_ui` for hiding alone, the message is stamped with `untrusted_input` instead, and `requires_input_sanitization` sanitizes it anyway. `untrusted_input` joins the server-owned inventory in the preceding paragraph, which is what makes the stamp unforgeable and unclearable. The three surrounding docstrings now also say that these functions mark as well as strip; `_strip_external_message_metadata` had advertised only the removal, leaving a reader no way to find the stamp from the name. * fix(gateway): mark state writes whose message omits additional_kwargs Review follow-up. The state-route half of the fix missed the most natural request shape. `_strip_external_metadata_from_message_like` returned early when `additional_kwargs` was absent or not a dict — there was nothing to strip — and that early return also skipped the mark. A `POST /threads/{id}/state` body of `{"values": {"messages": [{"role": "user", "name": "summary", "content": "<system-reminder>…</system-reminder>"}]}}` therefore reached the checkpoint unmarked. The messages reducer's `convert_to_messages` then supplies `additional_kwargs={}`, so at model-call time `requires_input_sanitization` fell back to `is_genuine_user_message`, which a `summary` name fails, and the forged tag reached the model raw and outside the boundary markers. A missing or non-dict `additional_kwargs` is now treated as empty for both the strip and the mark. The identity return is kept for the case where nothing changes, so an ordinary key-omitted message does not gain an empty dict just by passing through. The run path was never affected: `normalize_input` coerces to BaseMessage first, which always carries the dict. Every existing state-write test supplied an `additional_kwargs` dict, which is why this shape slipped through; the regression now covers it at the route and end to end through the reducer into the guardrail. While checking the neighbouring shapes, `_skips_input_guardrail` keyed off key presence where `is_genuine_user_message` keys off truthiness, so `hide_from_ui: False` — already covered without a mark — would have been stamped. It now mirrors the predicate exactly, as its docstring claimed. * docs(middlewares): compress the sanitization note to fit the guidance chain main's growth left the middlewares AGENTS.md chain 84 bytes under its hard limit, and the fuller wording did not fit. The load-bearing facts stay — the markers are marked rather than stripped, and the scan covers every turn — since those are the two an agent editing this middleware could otherwise get wrong. The full model lives in the normalize_input, _mark_untrusted_framework_markers and requires_input_sanitization docstrings. --------- Co-authored-by: Willem Jiang <willem.jiang@gmail.com>	2026-09-14 09:54:42 +08:00
Zeren Wang	3b592c2053	feat(harness): subagent receipt citation verification (#5076) ... * feat(harness): subagent receipt citation verification - add receipt citation verification core - harvest subagent tool receipts at terminal status - transport subagent receipts and citation verdict via status contract - verify subagent report citations at task write-back - render citation verdicts in the delegation ledger * 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.	2026-08-29 16:56:56 +08:00
Nan Gao	13f0a7f263	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. * fix(backend): sort gateway service imports	2026-08-23 09:57:12 +08:00
