 ## [Unreleased]
 
+This section accumulates work toward the **2.3.0** milestone
+([2.3.0](https://github.com/bytedance/deer-flow/milestone/4)).
+
+### Added
+
+- **subagents:** Durable batch items can wait for explicitly named prerequisites.
+  An optional, once-only lead-Agent follow-up completes a previously requested
+  summary or delivery after the batch ends, with persisted admission, cancellation
+  and authorization checks. Active Goals retain continuation ownership. ([#7839](https://github.com/bytedance/deer-flow/pull/7839))
+
+- **chat:** Running Web chats offer Queue and Steer in the composer. Queue
+  waits for the next turn; Steer lets the main Agent handle updates while
+  native subagents pause and resume. Unconfirmed messages can be retried
+  after a Gateway restart. ([#7729])
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **agents:** Unfinished todos no longer trigger additional model calls or
+  tool execution after a loop-detection, run token-budget, provider-safety, or
+  model output-length stop. Todo state is preserved so users can continue in a
+  later run. ([#7953])
+
+- **channels:** Long Feishu/Lark answers are no longer lost. Card text was
+  unbounded and ASCII-escaped, so an answer of about 4,400 CJK characters made
+  the card request exceed Feishu's 30 KB limit (`230025`); the final patch and
+  its reply fallback were both rejected, and the running card stayed on its
+  last streamed text or a bare `▉`. Cards now send CJK unescaped and are
+  budgeted by the bytes they add to the request. A streamed update shows what
+  fits, and a longer final answer continues in up to 10 cards replied to the
+  same message, split at line breaks; a retry resumes after the cards already
+  delivered. ([#7798])
+  
+- **channels:** WeCom group messages now have their own conversation. Every
+  message used the sender's userid as both chat and topic ID, so a member's
+  private chat and every group they wrote in shared one DeerFlow thread
+  wherever no group binding kept them apart: in auth-disabled mode, with
+  `require_bound_identity: false`, and under legacy group bindings. A group
+  reply could then draw on the member's private chat or another group, and a
+  reply sent without its frame went to the private chat. Groups are now keyed
+  by `chatid` with one thread per member, and private chats keep their
+  threads. A group bound with its own `/connect` keeps its thread; a legacy
+  group binding, which covers every group of the bot, starts a new one in
+  each group. ([#7794])
+  
+- **sandbox:** Fresh lazy AIO runs with an explicit authorized skill view no
+  longer create or acquire a sandbox before the first sandbox-backed tool
+  call. Existing sandbox bindings and providers that require skill uploads
+  retain their eager synchronization behavior. ([#7782])
+
+- **parsing:** Follow-up suggestions and the `/goal` evaluator keep a literal
+  `<think>` tag that appears inside a JSON string value, such as an answer
+  quoting the tag, while reasoning around the JSON is still removed. An
+  unclosed literal tag inside a string no longer truncates the document and
+  fails parsing, and reasoning outside the payload still strips and truncates
+  as before. ([#7907])
+
+- **gateway:** A caller-supplied thread ID that is a Windows reserved device
+  name (`NUL`, `CON`, `COM1`, ...) is now rejected at the shared
+  `validate_thread_id()` boundary. Such IDs previously passed validation but
+  failed workspace creation on Windows hosts with `FileNotFoundError`. The
+  check reuses `windows_incompatible_segment()` and applies on every platform,
+  so threads with reserved-name IDs created on Linux hosts will fail
+  validation on read/resume/upload routes after upgrade (deletion still
+  works). ([#7892])
+
+- **extensions:** Context-compaction observers now learn which task a
+  compaction happened in. Inside a lead run or subagent they receive that
+  task's store instead of a detached one, and `CompactionEvent` gains
+  `task_id`, `run_id` and `thread_id` (default `None`), copied from the
+  `TaskInfo` the host now seeds into every task store even when no lifecycle
+  contributor is registered. A manual `/compact` still gets a detached store
+  and `None` ids. `deerflow-extension-api` is now 0.2.10; existing
+  extensions keep working. ([#7831])
+
+- **channels:** A DingTalk reply in AI card mode (`card_template_id`) is no
+  longer lost when a card request fails, for example without card permission
+  or during a DingTalk outage. dingtalk-stream logs a failed card request and
+  returns as if it succeeded, so neither the text running reply nor the
+  `sampleMarkdown` fallback for the final answer ever ran. The channel now
+  sends card requests itself and falls back when one fails. ([#7781])
+  
+- **harness:** Retrying a failed item no longer reopens a cancelled durable
+  subagent batch. `retry_item` kept only a paused batch as it was, so a failed
+  item of a cancelled batch put the batch back to `queued`, the worker claimed
+  and ran the item, and the batch ended `completed`. The retry route now
+  answers 409 for a cancelled batch, including when the cancel commits while
+  the retry is in flight on SQLite, and the workspace no longer offers Retry
+  there. Retrying in a completed, failed, running or paused batch is
+  unchanged. ([#7792])
+
+- **agents:** `PUT /api/agents/{name}` with `"description": null` now resets the
+  description to empty. It used to store the null, which the agent config
+  rejects, so the agent then failed every load: the update, GET and repair
+  updates returned 500, the file backend dropped it from the agent list, the
+  database backend failed the owner's whole list, and chats with it failed.
+  Agents already stored with a null description load again. ([#7638])
+
+- **sandbox:** Cancelled native Runs now stop their owned AIO and POSIX local
+  bash processes, including ordinary `nohup` children, before releasing the
+  execution lease. Concurrent work and background services from successful
+  earlier turns remain running. ([#7772])
+  
+- **agents:** A clarification no longer overwrites an earlier question when the
+  provider reuses a tool-call ID across turns (for example `call_0` on every
+  response). Its message ID, which is also the human-input `request_id`, named
+  only the call ID, so the later question replaced the earlier one in place and
+  the later call was left without a result. The ID now also names the
+  AIMessage that issued the call; a retry of the same call keeps its ID.
+  ([#7762])
+
+- **projects:** The trash retention sweep no longer deletes live document
+  originals when the data directory, `users/`, a user's directory or a
+  user's `projects/` is a symlink. It protected each document by its resolved
+  path but walked the unresolved tree, so no document matched and every
+  original older than 24 hours was removed as an orphan, at Gateway startup
+  and from `GET /api/trash/documents`. ([#7732])
+
+- **chat:** Cancelling a queued input after dispatch starts no longer
+  prevents subsequent queued inputs from executing. ([#7746])
+
+- **dev:** `scripts/dev_multi_instance.sh logs all` now prints the nginx logs
+  as well as both Gateway logs; it printed only the Gateway logs, the same as
+  `logs` with no argument. `logs nginx` and `logs all` also include `nginx.log`,
+  the nginx start command's own output, which no option printed before.
+  ([#7723])
+
+- **memory:** `GET /api/memory/config` and `/api/memory/status` now mask
+  credential values in `backend_config` (`api_key`, tokens, passwords,
+  `Authorization` headers, at any depth) as `***`. They returned the config as
+  loaded, with `$VAR` references already resolved, so a DeerMem extraction
+  model key or a Honcho `api_key` reached every caller with `memory:read` in
+  plaintext, which with authorization disabled (the default) is every
+  signed-in user. Non-secret knobs, `api_key_env` names and unset values are
+  unchanged. ([#7665])
+- **gateway:** `GET /threads/{thread_id}/token-usage` now resolves the live
+  config in a worker thread. `build_context_usage` called the accessor inline,
+  and `get_app_config()` revalidates on every call — it digests the whole
+  `config.yaml`, then `extensions_config.json` — so a config edit landing just
+  before a thread view stalled the Gateway event loop that runs, streams and
+  every other thread share. The response is unchanged. ([#7727])

 ## [未发布]
 
+本节累积面向 **2.3.0** 里程碑（[2.3.0](https://github.com/bytedance/deer-flow/milestone/4)）的工作。
+
+
+### 新增
+
+- **子智能体：** 后台批次可声明条目前置关系，并可登记一次主 Agent 接续，在批次结束后完成
+  用户已要求的汇总或交付。接续保留持久化启动记录、取消和授权检查；启用 Goal 时仍由 Goal 负责续跑。([#7839](https://github.com/bytedance/deer-flow/pull/7839))
+
+- **对话：** 网页端在任务运行时，可在输入框选择 Queue（排队执行）或 Steer（调整当前任务）。
+  Queue 等当前任务结束后再执行下一条消息；Steer 让主 Agent 先处理新要求，原生子 Agent 可暂停后恢复。
+  Gateway 重启后，尚未确认生效的消息可以手动重试。([#7729])
+
+### 修复
+
+- **智能体：** 循环检测、运行 token 预算、模型服务安全限制或输出长度限制触发停止后，
+  未完成的 Todo 不再触发额外的模型调用或工具执行。Todo 状态仍会保留，
+  用户可在后续运行中继续处理。([#7953])
+
+- **渠道：** 飞书/Lark 的长回答不再丢失。此前卡片文本没有长度上限，并以 ASCII 转义
+  序列化，约 4,400 个中日韩字符就会让卡片请求超过飞书 30 KB 的限制（`230025`）：
+  最终更新及其回复兜底都会被拒绝，运行中卡片停留在最后一次流式内容或只剩 `▉`。
+  现在卡片不再转义中日韩字符，并按其在请求中占用的字节计算预算。流式更新只显示能
+  放下的部分；更长的最终回答会在同一条消息下以最多 10 张卡片按行续发，重试会从
+  已送达的卡片之后继续。([#7798])
+  
+- **渠道：** 企业微信群消息现在拥有独立的会话。此前每条消息都把发送者的 userid
+  同时用作会话 ID 和话题 ID，因此在没有群绑定加以区分的情况下（免认证模式、
+  `require_bound_identity: false`，以及旧版群绑定），成员的私聊和其发过言的所有群
+  共用同一个 DeerFlow 线程：群内回复可能用到该成员私聊或其他群的内容，失去原始
+  frame 的回复也会被发到私聊。现在群以 `chatid` 为键、每位成员一个线程，私聊线程
+  保持不变。通过各自 `/connect` 绑定的群保留原有线程；覆盖该机器人所有群的旧版
+  群绑定会在每个群中开始新线程。([#7794])
+  
+- **沙箱：** 使用显式授权技能视图的新 AIO 运行，在启用惰性初始化时，不再于首次调用
+  沙箱工具前创建或获取沙箱。已有沙箱绑定和需要上传技能的提供方继续保留原有的即时同步行为。
+  ([#7782])
+
+- **扩展：** 上下文压缩观察者现在能知道压缩发生在哪个任务里。在 Lead 运行或子 Agent
+  内部，观察者收到的是该任务的存储，而不再是分离存储；`CompactionEvent` 新增
+  `task_id`、`run_id`、`thread_id`（默认 `None`），取自宿主放进每个任务存储的
+  `TaskInfo`，即使没有注册生命周期贡献者也会放入。手动 `/compact` 仍收到分离存储，
+  id 为 `None`。`deerflow-extension-api` 升级到 0.2.10，已有扩展不受影响。([#7831])
+
+- **渠道：** 钉钉 AI 卡片模式（`card_template_id`）下，卡片请求失败（例如缺少卡片权限或钉钉服务异常）时
+  不再丢失回复。dingtalk-stream 会记录失败的卡片请求后按成功返回，因此文本形式的运行中提示和最终答案的
+  `sampleMarkdown` 兜底都不会执行。现在渠道自行发送卡片请求，并在失败时回退。([#7781])
+  
+- **harness：** 重试失败条目不再重新打开已取消的持久子智能体批次。`retry_item`
+  此前只保留已暂停批次的状态，因此重试已取消批次中的失败条目会把批次改回
+  `queued`，worker 随即认领并执行该条目，批次最终变为 `completed`。现在对已取消
+  批次的重试路由返回 409，包括 SQLite 上取消在重试进行中提交的情况；工作区也不再
+  为这些条目显示重试按钮。在已完成、失败、运行中或已暂停批次中重试的行为不变。
+  ([#7792])
+
+- **智能体：** `PUT /api/agents/{name}` 传入 `"description": null` 时现在会把描述重置为
+  空。此前会把 null 原样保存，而智能体配置不接受该值，导致之后每次加载都失败：更新本身、
+  GET 和修复性更新都返回 500，文件后端会把它从智能体列表中漏掉，数据库后端会让该用户的
+  整个列表失败，与它的对话也会失败。已以 null 描述保存的智能体现在可以重新加载。([#7638])
+
+- **智能体：** 当模型提供方在不同轮次复用同一个工具调用 ID（例如每次响应都是 `call_0`）时，
+  澄清提问不再覆盖之前的问题。此前其消息 ID（同时也是人工输入的 `request_id`）只包含调用 ID，
+  后一个问题会原地替换前一个问题，后一次调用也因此缺少结果。现在 ID 还会包含发起该调用的
+  AIMessage；同一调用的重试仍保持原 ID。([#7762])
+
+- **项目：** 当数据目录、`users/`、某个用户目录或用户的 `projects/` 是符号链接时，
+  回收站保留期清扫不再删除仍在使用的文档原件。此前它按解析后的路径保护每个文档，
+  却遍历未解析的目录树，导致没有任何文档能匹配上，所有超过 24 小时的原件都被当作
+  孤立文件删除，Gateway 启动时和 `GET /api/trash/documents` 都会触发。([#7732])
+
+- **对话：** 队列分发开始后，取消某条排队输入不再阻止后续排队输入继续执行。([#7746])
+
+- **开发：** `scripts/dev_multi_instance.sh logs all` 现在除两个 Gateway 日志外也会输出
+  nginx 日志；此前它只输出 Gateway 日志，与不带参数的 `logs` 相同。`logs nginx` 与
+  `logs all` 还会包含 `nginx.log`（nginx 启动命令自身的输出），此前没有任何选项会输出它。
+  ([#7723])
+
+- **记忆：** `GET /api/memory/config` 与 `/api/memory/status` 现在会把 `backend_config`
+  中的凭据值（`api_key`、token、密码、`Authorization` 请求头，任意层级）遮蔽为 `***`。
+  此前它们按加载结果原样返回配置，而 `$VAR` 引用此时已被解析，因此 DeerMem 提取模型的密钥
+  或 Honcho 的 `api_key` 会以明文返回给所有拥有 `memory:read` 的调用方；在默认关闭授权时，
+  这就是所有已登录用户。非机密配置项、`api_key_env` 变量名和未设置的值保持不变。([#7665])
+- **网关：** `GET /threads/{thread_id}/token-usage` 现在在工作线程里解析实时配置。
+  此前 `build_context_usage` 直接内联调用该访问器，而 `get_app_config()` 每次调用都会重新校验
+  ——它先对整个 `config.yaml` 取摘要，再对 `extensions_config.json` 做同样的事——所以在有人打开
+  会话视图前刚好改了配置，就会让运行、消息流与其他线程共用的网关事件循环整段停顿。响应内容不变。([#7727])

 Advanced deployments can enable pluggable authorization with `authorization.enabled` in `config.yaml`. A configured `AuthorizationProvider` filters denied tools before they reach the model or deferred-tool catalog, then the same provider is checked again before every business-tool execution through the existing guardrail middleware. Gateway `threads:*` and `runs:*` route permissions are derived from the same provider, while existing owner checks and admin-only management gates remain in force. Every HTTP route that starts or enables a future Agent run requires `runs:create`: this includes the stateless `POST /api/runs/stream` and `POST /api/runs/wait` endpoints plus scheduled-task create, update, resume, and manual-trigger mutations. Scheduled-task mutations retain their existing `threads:write` requirement, and the stateless routes separately enforce ownership when the optional thread ID is supplied in the request body. A generated `tool_search` may bypass the second tool check only when it fronts the current build's already-filtered deferred catalog. Model access follows the same provider: the Gateway `models` list is filtered per principal, `model:use` is enforced on model detail requests and again when the runtime resolves the agent's model, and a denied default model falls back to the first remaining candidate that also passes `model:use`. The built-in RBAC provider supports per-role `tools`, `routes`, `models`, `skills`, and `sandbox` allow/deny policies and validates that `default_role` names a configured role; authorization is disabled by default. Custom roles declared in the provider's `roles` mapping become reachable by assigning them to a user through the admin API (`GET /api/v1/admin/users`, `PATCH /api/v1/admin/users/{id}`; admin-only, last-admin demotion protected) — a declared role nobody holds grants nothing. See `config.example.yaml` and the [authorization RFC](docs/plans/2026-07-10-pluggable-authorization-rfc.md).
 
+Administrators can revoke a disabled account's admin role while keeping it disabled,
+or assign a non-admin role and re-enable it in the same account update. The last
+enabled administrator remains protected against demotion and disabling.
+
 Follow-up suggestions also check `model:use` before calling the selected model, including the default model when no name is supplied. A denied model returns HTTP 403 without an LLM call; authorization-provider failures follow the configured `fail_closed` policy.
 
 For vision-capable agents, `view_image` and the subsequent model-context image read also require `sandbox:execute`. Allowing the tool name alone does not grant image-file access; a role denied sandbox execution cannot reread previously recorded image metadata after its permissions change. External run input and thread-state updates cannot set `viewed_images` or `thread_data`; when a saved image is read from a host copy, its path must resolve to the current user's thread and the recorded virtual image path.
 Each model request includes at most four recently viewed images and 28 MiB of base64 image data. Images excluded by these limits are reported as omitted; the agent can call `view_image` again to bring one back into context.
 
-Advanced deployments can also extend the agent runtime itself by declaring `AgentMiddleware` classes under `extensions.middlewares` in `config.yaml` or `extensions_config.json`.

 The lead agent can spawn sub-agents on the fly — each with its own scoped context, tools, and termination conditions — when delegation has clear net benefit from real parallel latency, specialist capability, or context isolation. It keeps interdependent scopes and overlapping side effects out of parallel dispatch; a bounded sequential chain can still run in one sub-agent when specialist or context-isolation benefit clearly wins. The lead uses the fewest useful sub-agents and re-evaluates later batches instead of fanning out solely because a task is large or multi-step. Sub-agents report back structured results, and the lead agent verifies and synthesizes them into a coherent output. Deterministic tool receipts cover both direct tool messages and state-updating `Command` results such as delegated `task` responses; when the receipt ledger reaches its context budget, it retains the newest actions and their original receipt IDs. Operators can disable this provenance layer with `verification.receipts_enabled: false`. Their configured skills are resolved from the same user-scoped catalog as the lead agent, so user-owned custom skills remain available without exposing another user's version. Their internal AI and tool messages stay scoped to the delegated graph instead of entering the parent chat stream. Reloaded thread history enforces the same boundary: callback-captured sub-agent AI responses remain available in run-event diagnostics but are excluded from the parent transcript, while the parent `task` result remains attached to its subtask card. Long-running sub-agents compact older history when summarization is enabled and re-inject the summary as guarded, hidden durable context before continuing, so recent assistant/tool activity remains grounded in the task. Their system instructions, including the role and report contract, survive compaction; if only those instructions and the current request would be summarized, compaction is skipped. Provider/model request failures are reported as failed sub-agent tasks rather than successful results, so the lead agent and Web UI can react to them correctly. Concurrent parent runs also receive independent server-side sub-agent execution IDs, so a provider that reuses a tool-call ID cannot make one run poll, cancel, or clean up another run's background task. Collapsed sub-agent cards show the effective model and, when the provider returns usage metadata, a cumulative token total that updates after each completed sub-agent LLM call and persists after a reload. When token usage tracking is enabled, completed sub-agent usage is attributed back to the dispatching step from that run's terminal tool-message metadata rather than a process-global provider-ID cache.

 Ordinary `task` delegation and explicit durable `batch_task` execution share the startup-scoped `subagent_runtime` process capacity. Batch mode keeps large independent item sets in SQL with separate total, live, and running limits, restart recovery, bounded results, and a thread-scoped Web UI panel. The panel pages through bounded previews on demand and opens a selected item’s stored report and captured evidence for review. Citations open the matching saved excerpt without contacting the provider, and an open result refreshes until the item finishes and when the item list observes a later retry. Closed result dialogs do not fetch full details. Bulk stored results remain available through the owner-scoped JSONL export, while internal execution and authorization context never enters owner-facing responses. If the batch worker is later stopped or disabled, threads with persisted batches retain read-only item inspection and JSONL export; execution controls remain disabled until the worker is running again. See `config.example.yaml` and [the implementation contract](docs/plans/2026-08-24-subagent-batch-capacity-implementation.md) for limits and recovery semantics.

 While durable batch tools are available, a later owner turn can explicitly inspect selected results with `read_batch_result(batch_id, position=0, offset=0, max_chars=4000)`. The reader is restricted to the current user and thread, including in explicitly bound SDK graphs. It returns one window of a JSON document containing the stored report, execution/error state and separate acceptance criteria/verdict, without starting or waiting for work. Concatenate `content` windows before parsing: pass `next_offset` and the returned `revision` as `expected_revision` until `next_offset` is null. A changed item returns `restart_required`; discard prior windows and start at zero. Use `next_position` for a selected next item within `batch_status.total_items`. The maximum window is 8,192 characters; metadata shares the window budget, and JSON response framing adds overhead. `result_truncated` means storage already capped the report; continuation cannot recover discarded content. A succeeded item is not an accepted task, and unchecked criteria remain UNVERIFIED. No automatic result ingestion, waiting loop or UI change is added.
 
 The complete escaped response also fits within 10,000 characters and the bound host's positive `tool_output` externalization/fallback limits, so normal budgeting preserves continuation JSON. Smaller limits can shorten a window; `budget_too_small` means the operator must raise the budget instead of retrying a zero-length page. Limits too small even for that error envelope cannot provide a usable structured response. Explicit SDK graphs with a custom output-budget middleware should supply the same `AppConfig` through `SubagentRuntime`; default graphs use default reader limits.

 Administrators can add, edit, disable, and delete reusable worker definitions from **Settings → Subagents**. Built-in and `config.yaml` definitions remain visible there as read-only entries. The default Lead Agent can use every enabled runtime sub-agent; each page-created Custom Agent can instead allow all, none, or a selected set. That selection is enforced both in the model-visible directory and by the server-side `task` tool.

 Single-fact repository operations are genuinely incremental: an upsert/delete reads, journals, writes, and re-indexes only the addressed fact files, and returns an explicit incomplete delta rather than a cache-dependent fake full document. Summary change sets merge the supplied `user`/`history` child keys over the persisted sections so a partial update cannot erase omitted siblings; full imports normalize both sections to the complete compatibility schema before applying replacement values. Imports reject malformed fact lists or blank/non-text content with HTTP 400 before changing stored memory; recoverable legacy metadata still receives defaults. An explicit empty fact list remains an intentional clear. Manager/API compatibility methods materialize a fresh full document only when their public response contract requires one. Fact-level point operations use separate expected user-memory and fact revisions and may explicitly rebase when every addressed fact precondition still holds. Snapshot-derived operations such as scoped clear, capped create, consolidation, and trimming never replay stale delete/trim sets: a manifest conflict reloads the complete document and recomputes the operation, with a bounded retry. Fact paths use the first two hexadecimal characters of `SHA-256(fact_id)` so generated `fact_*` IDs distribute across shards. The cache token combines the shared JSON's nanosecond mtime, size, and persisted revision; this prevents coarse-mtime same-size writes from returning stale data without scanning fact files. Direct out-of-band Markdown edits require an explicit reload. Storage-specific conflicts and corruption are translated at the MemoryManager boundary; the Gateway returns conflict as HTTP 409 and a stable, non-sensitive corruption error as HTTP 500. Full-document `save()` remains a compatibility API and computes a diff before writing; malformed or missing `facts` can no longer silently erase an agent's Markdown files.

 - `make dev`, Docker dev, and production all run the agent runtime in Gateway via `RunManager` + `run_agent()` + `StreamBridge` (`packages/harness/deerflow/runtime/`). Nginx exposes that runtime at `/api/langgraph/*` and rewrites it to Gateway's native `/api/*` routers.
 - Gateway streams `write_file` and `str_replace` argument deltas in bounded batches for multi-mode `messages-tuple` consumers; single-mode message consumers retain the original per-chunk contract. Non-message frames flush pending batches, and `values` remains an optional complete-state snapshot rather than a prerequisite for batching.
 - `stream_subgraphs` preserves subgraph SSE namespaces (`values|<ns>`, LangGraph Platform style); bare `values` would overwrite the SDK thread view (#4399). Delegated subagents inherit the parent's checkpoint namespace. Root-only consumers (file-tool chunk batcher, subagent event persistence, LLM error-fallback detection) ignore namespaced frames. The web frontend uses root `task_*` events without subgraph streaming.
-- Background subagent identity is deliberately split: the provider `tool_call_id` remains the correlation key for `ToolMessage`, `task_*` SSE events, persisted lifecycle events, frontend cards, and the public `ExtensionData.scope_id` contract (stored as `SubagentResult.external_task_id`), while `SubagentExecutor.execute_async()` generates a full server-side `execution_id` for `SubagentResult.task_id`, the process-wide registry, polling, cancellation, timeout handling, and cleanup. Provider IDs are not globally unique across parent runs, so they must never become registry ownership keys; scheduler closures retain their own `SubagentResult` rather than resolving ownership again through the mutable registry. Terminal subagent token usage travels in the current run's `ToolMessage.additional_kwargs` and is attributed from message state, never through a process-global provider-ID cache.
+- Subagent IDs: provider `tool_call_id` correlates `ToolMessage`, `task_*` SSE/persisted events, frontend cards and `ExtensionData.scope_id` (`SubagentResult.external_task_id`). Unique server `execution_id` owns `SubagentResult.task_id`, registry, polling, cancellation, timeout and cleanup. Provider IDs can collide across parent runs: scheduler closures retain their own result, never recover ownership through the mutable registry. Attribute terminal usage from the current run's `ToolMessage.additional_kwargs` and message state, never a global provider-ID cache.
 - Scheduled runs use Gateway's normal run path. `launch_scheduled_thread_run` reads `get_app_config()` at dispatch: `scheduler.recursion_limit` defaults to 1000 (web UI), capped by `max_recursion_limit`; YAML changes apply next run without restart. IM enqueue checks recipients before locking preferences in the outcome transaction.
 - Run-history `status` filters are occurrence states, not task states. `ScheduledTaskRunStatus` in `persistence/scheduled_tasks/model.py` is the shared API/repository vocabulary and must match the active and terminal occurrence-status sets. Keep owner lookup before reading history, and apply SQL task/status predicates before pagination; omitted status preserves the existing response.
 - The background scheduler is single-instance by default. `scheduler.multi_instance=true` opts into lease-aware recovery across Gateway instances and requires shared Postgres, `run_ownership.heartbeat_enabled=true`, and `run_events.backend=db`; otherwise startup rejects the configuration. Live scheduled runs are preserved when a peer starts; expired launch claims return to the durable queue, expired run leases are atomically taken over, stale launch writes are fenced by lease ownership, and the Postgres advisory-locked budget makes `max_concurrent_runs` a shared global cap for `launching`/`running` rows.
 - The multi-process startup gate also fires on `deployment.multi_instance: true`; contract in `docs/CONFIGURATION.md`.
 - Long-running MCP work uses a separate durable task runtime (`McpTaskService` + `mcp_tasks`, lease-based recovery) rather than keeping remote task IDs or status polling inside the Agent loop; only submit remains Agent-visible, the database is the source of truth, and `ThreadState` receives only a bounded current-thread projection. Full contract — including notification retries, dead-lettering, and the cancel endpoint's worker-stopped 503 (leases, cancellation fencing, delivery idempotency, management-tool exposure): [packages/harness/deerflow/mcp/AGENTS.md](packages/harness/deerflow/mcp/AGENTS.md).
-- Scheduled-task dispatch permits one active occurrence per task via `uq_scheduled_task_run_active` (`task_id WHERE status IN ('queued','launching','running')`). Durable `queued` rows survive restarts; only lease-fenced `launching` may call Gateway launch; `running` references the durable run. Stable admission idempotency keys reuse that run after recovery. Reused-thread `ConflictError` returns `launching` to `queued`; other launch errors become `failed`. Atomic queue claims enforce `max_concurrent_runs` and the per-owner cap, excluding waiting rows; the budget count and its UPDATE are separate statements, so writers must serialize before the count (Postgres advisory lock; SQLite `BEGIN IMMEDIATE`, whose deferred transaction otherwise reserves the writer only at the UPDATE) or claims on distinct rows overshoot the cap. Repeated triggers coalesce; same-thread FIFO blocks behind older active rows. Queue admission, PATCH/resume, pause and delete lock the parent before the occurrence, freezing active task definitions. Pause/delete atomically cancel `queued` work but reject `launching`/`running`; PATCH/resume reject all active states. Only queued conflicts offer pause cancellation. Manual triggers may queue/run while paused. Manual-trial run origins reuse the admitted `scheduled_for`, so an idempotent retry submits the same request instead of colliding with the first attempt.
+- Scheduled-task dispatch: `uq_scheduled_task_run_active` permits one `queued`/`launching`/`running` occurrence per task. Queues survive restarts; only lease-fenced `launching` calls Gateway; `running` references the durable run. Stable admission keys reuse it after recovery. Reused-thread `ConflictError` requeues; other launch errors fail. Claims exclude waiting rows and enforce `max_concurrent_runs`/per-owner caps: serialize count+UPDATE with the Postgres advisory lock or SQLite `BEGIN IMMEDIATE`. Coalesce triggers; preserve same-thread FIFO. Admission, PATCH/resume, pause/delete lock parent before occurrence, freezing active definitions. Pause/delete atomically cancel queued work and reject launching/running; PATCH/resume reject all active states. Only queued conflicts offer pause cancellation. Manual triggers run/queue while paused; trial origins reuse admitted `scheduled_for` for idempotent retries.
 - Scheduled-task lifecycle, recovery and queue timeout: [persistence guide](packages/harness/deerflow/persistence/AGENTS.md#scheduled-task-lifecycle).
 - `POST /api/scheduled-tasks/preview-cron` requires authenticated `threads:read`. Bounded cron previews call the shared scheduler calculator in `asyncio.to_thread`, preserving its DST semantics. Capture the optional aware reference once; return UTC and offset-bearing local occurrences without acquiring task/thread/run stores or dispatching work. This advisory API does not reserve execution.
 - Gateway MCP/skill updates write `extensions_config.json` at runtime. Production Compose mounts it read-write (`config.yaml` stays `:ro`); Helm seeds a writable home-volume copy. Hold both `extensions_config_write_lock` and the sidecar advisory `extensions_config_file_lock` during read-modify-write to prevent lost updates across workers. `atomic_write_extensions_config` uses temp-file replacement; only mount-point `EBUSY` permits a non-atomic in-place overwrite (crashes can truncate). Warn about this fallback once per target; propagate other errors. `get_extensions_config()` revalidates reads by file signature; see [config caching](packages/harness/deerflow/config/AGENTS.md).

 - WeCom serializes `start()` and `stop()` for each channel instance. The SDK `connect()` task covers connection setup only; after the handshake, the SDK owns a separate receive task. Shutdown cancels an in-progress connection attempt and awaits the SDK's actual asynchronous receive-task/socket cleanup before releasing lifecycle state or allowing a restart. Cancellation of `stop()` still propagates, but only after owned cleanup finishes and lifecycle references are cleared; real connection failures remain reported by `_on_ws_task_done`.
 - WeCom outbound content is capped at the protocol's 20480 UTF-8 bytes: stream replies clip on a character boundary with a truncation marker (one stream carries the whole reply and cannot split mid-way), while proactive pushes split into at most 10 sequential markdown messages per push, with the remaining tail clipped and marker-terminated. Both paths measure bytes, not characters. A per-chat send lock serializes each split batch end to end, because manager workers run concurrently and two long pushes to the same chat would otherwise interleave chunks; locks are reference-counted and reclaimed once no sender holds or waits on them, so the registry does not grow for the life of the Gateway.

+# Native batch dependencies and follow-up
+
+Optional fields extend the existing SQL-backed batch service. Omitting them keeps
+independent batch execution. Items remain read-only or idempotent under the existing
+retry/recovery policy.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+Use `depends_on` to name prerequisite item keys in the same batch. Unknown keys,
+self-references and cycles are rejected before saving. Dependent items consume no
+worker slot until every prerequisite succeeds without a guardrail stop reason.
+Retryable attempts keep dependents waiting; exhausted failures, cancellation or
+terminal capped results fail unstarted descendants. Independent items continue.
+Retrying a failed prerequisite by hand does not requeue the descendants it already
+failed; retry each blocked item as well.
+
+Item prompts must name their input/output paths. Ordering does not certify factual
+accuracy or make advisory acceptance mandatory. Use existing result readers; full
+reports are not copied into every dependent's context.
+
+## Requested follow-up
+
+`continuation` describes remaining work the user already requested. After terminal
+batch results are saved, the lead performs that work in the original conversation
+through ordinary Run admission. Preserve the originating model selection, reasoning,
+limits and admitted retrieval scope. Busy conversations wait. While a question is
+unanswered the claim is kept until its lease expires, so the conversation is not
+reread on every poll.
+
+A stable idempotency key reconciles lost admission replies without another Run.
+Pending claims rotate so busy conversations do not starve others. Manual item retries
+hold an unadmitted follow-up but do not re-arm one already dispatched. Without a Goal,
+a follow-up cannot request another automatic follow-up.
+
+An active Goal wakes only from its own `external_wait`, consuming one existing
+continuation allowance, once even after recovery. Other blockers, no-progress limits
+and hard stops remain effective. Goal replacement, clearing and thread deletion
+suppress pending work; a failed, cancelled or hard-stopped source Run cannot restart.
+
+## Authority, cancellation and recovery
+
+Follow-up needs a session-authorized Gateway AgentRuns capability or local auth-disabled
+mode. Internal/PAT callers and unsupported embedded runtimes retain ordinary batches.
+Persist only the original permission ceiling, account token version and auth source;
+no cookie, API key or Python capability. Restore checks current account/permissions,
+conversation ownership and incarnation. Private continuation data is not returned.
+
+Batch cancellation revokes the existing SQL execution fence and stops an admitted
+follow-up, including after a lost launch reply. HTTP and tool cancellation of a batch
+with a follow-up also require `runs:cancel`. Trusted internal cleanup retains its existing
+path. Claim ownership/expiry lives only in the existing execution-lease table.
+Completed item results remain available. The Web panel discovers follow-up Runs
+through existing observers; refresh never launches work. Chat Stop remains available.
+
+## Upgrade and verification
+
+Migration `0052_batch_continuation` adds dependency edges and nullable follow-up data,
+status and Run ID. Existing rows need no backfill. Upgrade all batch workers before
+using dependencies. Do not downgrade with opted-in work outstanding; downgrade drops
+new metadata while retaining items and reports.
+
+Focused regressions cover dependency/retry ordering, SQL claims and recovery,
+permission revocation, admission races, Goal limits and page reconnection. PostgreSQL
+coverage uses `TEST_POSTGRES_URI`; browser backend timing is simulated.

 ## Deferred terminal commits and lease ownership
 
+RunManager serializes creation, replacement and assembly publication per thread.
+The global registry lock never spans Store I/O; unrelated cached reads and
+heartbeat snapshots do not queue behind an admission gate. Their own Store I/O
+can still encounter database or connection-pool contention. A pending-ID map
+lets readers of preallocated run IDs join the same-thread gate before the record
+is published. Failed or cancelled admissions remove that temporary membership;
+normal creation registers only after its initial write succeeds. Heartbeats use
+the short registry snapshot, not the thread gate, so an admitted run can renew
+while its replacement awaits a Store result. Preserve terminal-attribution and
+cancellation compensation below; changing lock granularity does not grant a new
+worker authority over a durable row.
+
+Assembly evidence persists a full row snapshot. Serialize that write with the
+same run's lease renewal and local acknowledgment, so it cannot restore an old
+lease after renewal. Lock order is thread gate, then snapshot gate, then the
+short registry lock. Renewal uses only the snapshot gate and must release it
+before signaling local cancellation, which acquires the thread gate. Keep the
+lease-expiry timer armed while waiting for the snapshot gate.

   workspace-scoped search, while the passive per-turn write middleware is
   retained because Honcho's deriver learns from `add()` writes.
 
+Search result `metadata` must be an object, null, or absent. The HTTP client
+rejects other containers before returning results, so `failure_policy.read`
+also covers metadata-shape failures: fail-open returns no search results and
+fail-closed raises `MemoryReadError`. A malformed later result does not expose
+a partial result set. Diagnostics name the result index and field, without
+echoing metadata or memory content.
+
+## Incremental conversation capture
+
+Checkpoint history is cumulative. For messages with stable source IDs, the
+adapter stores an opaque `deerflow_source_id` in Honcho message metadata and
+checks the session's metadata-filtered `messages/list` endpoint before appending
+new messages. This requires session-read access as well as message-write access.
+Lookups and writes use batches of at most 100 messages. Each lookup requests
+100 records per page and consumes at most 10 pages before publishing that batch.
+All advertised pages must be consumed; a larger page count aborts capture rather
+than using partial results. The budget allows multiple stored records per source
+identity, but exceptionally duplicate-heavy histories may exceed it.
+
+The identity includes the owner, source message ID, role, peer and normalized
+text. Distinct messages with identical text are retained; edited source messages
+are captured as new versions, not replacements of old Honcho records. Stored
+identities survive manager/process restarts and overlapping compacted history.
+An unavailable, malformed or over-budget lookup aborts that capture with a
+`capture lookup failed` warning instead of assuming the history is new.
+This is distinct from `write failed` for setup or message-write errors; a later
+capture can retry normally once the lookup succeeds.
+
+Lookup and append are serialized per endpoint/workspace/session within one
+process, including across manager instances. This is **not exactly-once delivery**:
+independent processes must serialize access to a session upstream. A retry can
+recognize an earlier write whose response was lost once the committed records
+are visible to the lookup, but Honcho does not provide an atomic deduplication
+constraint here.
+
+Direct callers without stable message IDs retain append-on-every-call behavior.
+Records written before this metadata was introduced cannot be matched reliably:
+the first capture after upgrading may replay that older history once. This
+change does not remove historical duplicates or migrate existing records.

 12. **SandboxAuditMiddleware** - Audits sandboxed shell/file operations before tool execution; command classification is **defense-in-depth and audit, not a security boundary** (the sandbox is the isolation boundary). Command substitution is judged by *position*, not the presence of `$(`: **command position** (`$(curl url)`, `` `curl url` ``, the word after `|`/`&&`/`;`, an `eval`/`source` argument, a command-position `.`) executes fetched content and is blocked; **value position** (`x=$(curl url)`, `echo $(curl url)`, an argument, a `for` word list) only captures output and passes (#4611). So `_HIGH_RISK_COMMAND_POSITION_PATTERNS` is matched anchored against each sub-command from `_split_compound_command(split_pipes=True)`, never the whole string; pipe-spanning rules (`| sh`, `base64 -d | ...`) still use `_classify_command`'s whole-command Pass 1. `_COMMAND_POSITION_PREFIX` extends the anchor over leading assignments and exec wrappers (`FOO=1 $(curl url)`, `env`/`command`/`builtin`/`exec`/`nohup`/`time`/`sudo`/`doas`); its assignment branch requires whitespace before the substitution, which keeps `x=$(curl url)` in value position. Two contexts are deliberately **position-blind** (matched whole-command in Pass 1, since they execute their input anywhere, e.g. `xargs sh -c "$(curl url)"`): an `eval`/`source` argument (including one that reaches the dot builtin, `eval . $(curl url)`), and an interpreter **code-string flag** — `-c` (shells, `python`), `-e` (`perl`/`ruby`/`node`), `-p` (`perl`/`node`), `-r` (`php`) — plus the here-string (`<<<`) reaching the same place via stdin. An interpreter that reads its program from stdin (`bash < <(curl url)`) is that same execution context, decided from the token list rather than one pattern: a script operand anywhere (`bash script.sh < <(curl url)`, `bash < <(curl url) consumer.sh`) or a shell noexec flag (`bash -n < <(curl url)`) keeps the fetched bytes as data, and `.`/`source` never read a program from stdin because they require a filename. All three substitution spellings (`$(`, `<(`, `` ` ``) share one `_RISKY_SUBSTITUTION` opener. An unquoted newline splits like `;` (else `echo hi\n$(curl url)` evades the anchored rules). Heredoc bodies are data: `_split_compound_command` records headers (`<<EOF`, `<<-EOF`, `<<'EOF'`) and consumes their bodies verbatim, so a body line starting `$(curl url)` isn't promoted to a command position; `<<<` (here-string, needs look-ahead + look-behind) and a `<<` inside `$(( ))`/`(( ))` (bit shift, arithmetic depth tracked with the quote flags) must not open one. This is a heuristic, not shell parsing — an unterminated body consumes the rest of the string, an unclosed `((` only disables heredoc detection, and the failure direction is always toward *more* command positions, not fewer. A process substitution in *program-operand* position is that same context: the file it names is the program the interpreter runs (`bash <(curl url)`, `python3 <(curl url)`). A script operand *in front* (`bash script.sh <(curl url)`) makes the substitution an argument; a shell noexec flag (`bash -n <(curl url)`) parses the program without executing it.

 13. **ReadBeforeWriteMiddleware** - *(`read_before_write.enabled`, default on; #3857)* Existing-file `write_file` (including append) and `str_replace` require the newest matching `read_file` content hash. Marks live on ToolMessages: dropping a read loses its mark; writes never refresh it. Sync/async read/check/execution/mark steps share a per-(scope, path) gate. Uninspectable content fails open. It owns sandbox authorization; `SandboxAuthorizationError` becomes an error ToolMessage. Outside ToolProgress/ToolErrorHandling, blocks consume no slot and stamp `deerflow_tool_meta` plus `deerflow_write_block` (`{path, tool}`). `wrap_model_call` elides blocked payloads with deterministic placeholders (`elide_blocked_payloads`, `elide_min_chars`), preserving state, receipts and journal. All model-bound argument rewrites use `tool_call_args`; policy stays in this gate.
+13b. **HarnessGuardMiddleware** - *(`harness_guard.enabled`, default on)* Error diagnosis and optional write gate. When `write_verify_syntax: true`, checks `.py`/`.json` syntax on `str_replace` for valid files. Classifies tool failures and injects targeted hints. Warns on repeated error signatures and alternating tool loops per `(thread_id, run_id)` via `BoundedDict`.
 14. **ToolProgressMiddleware** - *(optional, if `tool_progress.enabled`)* State-machine-based stagnation guard (RFC #3177). Outer wrapper around ToolErrorHandlingMiddleware so its tool wrapper receives results already stamped with `deerflow_tool_meta`. Recoverable problems stay WARNED with hints; retryable non-recoverable problems escalate to BLOCKED; stop-category failures block immediately. It is independent of LoopDetection's turn-level call-pattern guard. Effective phase changes emit `middleware:tool_progress`, including `reset` when a later agent invocation (for example, goal continuation) clears WARNED/BLOCKED state. The state machine supplies the action and count threshold (`null` for category rules, recovery, and reset); recorder calls happen after releasing the state lock. Events include the actual sync/async hook plus bounded status, error, and recovery fields. Server-owned recorder keys determine subagent attribution. Arguments, content, prompts, and hashes are never persisted; recorder failures are fail-open. See [event semantics](../../../../../docs/RUN_EVENT_STREAM.md).
 15. **ToolReceiptMiddleware + ToolErrorHandlingMiddleware** - `ToolReceiptMiddleware` is *(optional, if `verification.receipts_enabled`, default on)*. It is the **outermost `wrap_tool_call` layer** — registered ahead of authorization, audit, write and progress gates — because Guardrail/SandboxAudit/ReadBeforeWrite/ToolProgress can short-circuit a call with their own ToolMessage (and SandboxAudit annotates medium-risk results); an inner receipt layer would silently gap the ledger on those results (ordering constraints in `deerflow.extensions.ordering`). Normal results still carry the `deerflow_tool_meta` status ToolErrorHandlingMiddleware stamps on the inner return path; short-circuit messages self-stamp meta or fall back to `message.status`. It stamps deterministic provenance (tool name, status, args/output hashes, byte count, timestamp) onto direct `ToolMessage` results and every matching `ToolMessage` carried in `Command.update.messages`, including delegated `task`, `present_file`, `view_image`, and `tool_search` results; before model calls it derives a hidden receipt ledger (display ids r1..rN) from message state, and when the 2,000-character budget is exceeded the newest receipts are retained in chronological order with their original ids plus an older-receipts omission marker. Rendering returns both the text and its retained receipt subset; every response that received a ledger carries only that exact server-owned subset, never omitted receipts. Snapshot validation accepts a strictly consecutive positive original-id range (for example `r24`–`r30`) rather than requiring `r1`, so subagent terminal citation verification resolves ids against evidence present in the citing turn even when later summarization drops and renumbers tool messages. Model-generated citation IDs are digit-bounded before integer conversion; oversized IDs are ignored as malformed input rather than raising through task write-back. Citation parsing deduplicates exact `(id, anchor)` pairs, not IDs alone, so repeated identical references stay compact while every distinct anchor claim is verified. Gateway strips delegated receipts/verdicts from external messages. `ToolErrorHandlingMiddleware` receives `AppConfig`, converts tool exceptions into error `ToolMessage`s so the run can continue instead of aborting, stamps every result with `deerflow_tool_meta` (status / error_type / recoverable_by_model / recommended_next_action / source) via `tool_result_meta.normalize_tool_result`, stamps structured metadata for task exception wrappers, and stamps skill-read metadata for downstream durable-context capture. Task tool result text is generated from the same status/result/error inputs as the structured metadata so callers do not hand-write a second protocol string.

 18. **SkillActivationMiddleware** - Detects strict `/skill-name task` syntax on the latest real user message, resolves only enabled and runtime-allowed skills, injects the `SKILL.md` body as hidden current-turn context, and records a `middleware:skill_activation` audit event; a retried activation call replays the recorded reminder without re-auditing. Skill `allowed-tools` is compatibility metadata only: activation never filters, grants, or denies tools — Agent assembly/execution authorization owns the permission ceiling.
 19. **DurableContextMiddleware** - Before compaction, captures task dispatch/result summaries in `ThreadState.delegations` and loaded skill name/path/description (never bodies) in `ThreadState.skill_context`; projects them per request. Static authority uses `SystemMessage`; untrusted `summary_text`, delegation results and skill descriptions use a separate hidden `HumanMessage` data block, never persisted as messages or promoted to system instructions. Subagents attach it immediately before summarization: summary precedes preserved AI/tool history for strict providers. See [tool artifacts](TOOL_ARTIFACTS.md) for projection, retry limits and delegation scope.

 22. **TokenUsageMiddleware** - *(optional, if `token_usage.enabled`)* Records token usage metrics; subagent usage is read from terminal `ToolMessage.additional_kwargs` in the current run and merged back into the dispatching AIMessage by message position. The same state update marks the ToolMessage with `subagent_token_usage_attributed=true`, so checkpoint replay or middleware re-entry cannot add the cumulative snapshot twice; missing/malformed usage or a result with no matching dispatch remains unmarked and retryable.

 23. **TitleMiddleware** - Auto-generates the thread title after the first complete exchange and normalizes structured message content before prompting the title model. If a first-turn run is interrupted before this middleware can write a title, `runtime/runs/worker.py` keeps the run in a finalizing state, persists a local fallback title from the latest checkpoint or original run input, and then syncs it to `threads_meta.display_name`. Replacement runs admitted by `multitask_strategy="interrupt"` / `"rollback"` wait for older same-thread finalization before entering the graph; the interrupted run only skips the fallback title write once a later run has started and may have advanced the checkpoint.
 24. **MemoryMiddleware** - Queues conversations for async memory update (filters to user + final AI responses); captures the runtime-resolved user so standalone LangGraph Server reads and writes stay in the same bucket
 25. **ViewImageMiddleware** - *(vision models only)* Enforces the shared vision cap on remote rereads (see [download contract](../../sandbox/AGENTS.md)). Rebuilds hidden base64 context in `ModelRequest.messages`, keeping lightweight `viewed_images` in checkpoints. Caps each request at four recent images and 28 MiB base64; constructor limits may tighten caps. Skips over-budget reads. Re-views refresh reducer recency. Validated blob refs precede compatibility paths. `_image_injection_plan` removes stale server-marked context, including old `before_model`/`after_model` payloads, then shares eligibility for sync/async injection. Removal requires both the reserved ID prefix and marker, preserving user and unmarked legacy messages. Both paths recheck `sandbox:execute` before I/O. Host copies require `actual_path` to match the current user/thread's canonical virtual path, even for old checkpoints or replacement sandboxes; absent/mismatched identity skips reads. Only the async wrapper passes `authorization_checked=True` after its gate to avoid duplicate checks in its worker.

Uses the conversion layer's `resource_placeholder_text`/`model_visible_location` for model-visible text; artifact capture scans state messages, so healing adds neither `resource_links` nor handles.

Order: built-ins/custom and loop/token guards → extensions → terminal-response/safety/clarification tail. Optional `apply_to` selects both chains (default), lead, or subagent before import/construction. Trusted operator config only: paths instantiate arbitrary code. Gateway skill/MCP toggles preserve it in raw JSON; adding an API write path requires explicit trust-boundary review.
 36. **TerminalResponseMiddleware** - When a provider returns an empty terminal `AIMessage` after tool execution, injects a hidden recovery prompt and retries the model once; a second empty response is replaced in checkpoint state by a visible error fallback marked for the run worker, so the run finishes as an error instead of a silent success
-37. **ModelLengthFinishReasonMiddleware** - Responses: same-container `status=incomplete` + `incomplete_details.reason=max_output_tokens`. Suppress calls via shared cloning after clearing invalid calls; keep non-call blocks/metadata. Stamp cap markers; add notice. Also registered on subagent chains (before Safety), where `consume_stop_reason` surfaces `model_length_capped` to the executor.
+37. **ModelLengthFinishReasonMiddleware** - Responses: same-container `status=incomplete` + `incomplete_details.reason=max_output_tokens`. Suppress calls via shared cloning after clearing invalid calls; keep non-call blocks/metadata. Stamp every cap; visible text-only caps get no notice. Add a notice only for suppressed calls or no visible content. Also registered on subagent chains (before Safety), where `consume_stop_reason` surfaces `model_length_capped` to the executor.
-38. **SafetyFinishReasonMiddleware** - `safety_finish_reason.enabled`: suppresses valid/invalid safety-stopped calls. Responses: `status=incomplete` + `incomplete_details.reason=content_filter`. Clear invalid calls before shared cloning. Place after terminal/custom/configured hooks; `after_model` runs in reverse.
+38. **SafetyFinishReasonMiddleware** - `safety_finish_reason.enabled`: marks all safety stops, preserving partial text and suppressing valid/invalid calls. Responses: `status=incomplete` + `incomplete_details.reason=content_filter`. Clear invalid calls before shared cloning. Place after terminal/custom/configured hooks; `after_model` runs in reverse.
 39. **ClarificationMiddleware** - Intercepts `ask_clarification`, writes a readable `ToolMessage.content` fallback plus a structured `ToolMessage.artifact.human_input` payload, and interrupts via `Command(goto=END)` (must be last). `after_model` drops same-turn sibling tool calls so they cannot run before the user answers; a malformed `ask_clarification` parked on `invalid_tool_calls` is the same stop signal. `disable_clarification` runs keep the siblings. Payloads are versioned — legacy `free_text`/`choice_with_other` stay `version: 1`; the v2 `form` mode (from `fields`) is `version: 2` so older frontends reject it and fall back to plain text. Field normalization is deterministic and lives in the middleware (it short-circuits before tool execution, so tool-arg typing gives no runtime validation), and it is atomic: any structurally broken entry — non-dict, bad/duplicate name, a name colliding with a JS `Object.prototype` member (`__proto__`/`constructor`), or exceeding the caps (16 fields / 24 options per field / 200 chars per text / `MAX_FORM_SERIALIZED_BYTES` = 16KB UTF-8, the per-item caps alone admitting forms whose IM text fallback overruns channel limits) — degrades the whole form to the legacy option/free-text modes, so a card never renders "complete" while missing a field. Benign issues degrade locally (unknown types — incl. unhashable JSON like `type: []` — and option-less selects become `text`); options are trimmed/deduped with blanks dropped (form- and top-level) since the frontend rejects blank labels. XML-to-dict option payloads are recursively flattened from dict/list containers in source order, scalar leaves kept, residual XML tags stripped before that trimming. Checkboxes are booleans defaulting to "no"; `required` on one means consent semantics. The response protocol is unchanged (v1 `text`/`option`): form cards submit a text summary as `response_kind: "text"`, so journal persistence needs no new allowlist entries. `RunJournal` reconciles visible, unpersisted `ToolMessage`s for current-run lead-agent calls at the next lead-agent `on_chat_model_start` after consumption, or at successful root `on_chain_end`. This preserves any middleware short-circuit, including blocked writes, across later model errors and checkpoint compaction (#4666). `_remember_current_run_tool_calls` excludes subagents; their results stay in `subagent.step`. Human Input Card replies are `hide_from_ui` `HumanMessage`s with `additional_kwargs.human_input_response`; `RunJournal` persists only allowlisted hidden sources (currently `ask_clarification`) as `llm.human.input`.
 
 Inline `skill_references` accepts 1–16 names; empty lists retain slash/plain flow.
