* feat(projects): project workspaces with scoped chats and thread membership
Backend:
- projects table model and migration; fail-closed ProjectRepository with
ownership checks, CRUD/archive/restore/delete router, and atomic thread
move between projects
- threads_meta.project_id column exposed as reserved deerflow_project_id
metadata; project-aware thread create/search with pagination bounds and
membership echoed in create responses
- first-run admission assigns the project only at genuine first run, seeded
at write time and dropped when invalid; serialized against project
deletion and thread assignment
- branch creation inherits the source thread's project membership (an
archived/deleted project degrades the branch to unassigned instead of
failing the request)
Frontend:
- projects data layer, thread move API, and sidebar projects section with
flat/grouped modes, archived-project threads, and stable virtual-list
offsets
- project detail page with project-scoped new chat
(/workspace/chats/new?project=) and paginated thread list
- move-to-project thread menu, new-project dialog, archived-project gates
- project-scoped new chats pre-create the thread with membership before the
first submit or /goal set, so runs never proceed outside the project
- goal-set preparation is fenced against conversation switches: a stale
continuation is dropped instead of saving the goal or launching the
abandoned submission on the newly opened conversation
- project thread lists join thread lifecycle invalidations (stop, pin) so
an open project page never keeps stale titles, recency, or pagination
* fix(chats): keep archive undo toast when the sidebar row unmounts
The archive success toast was fired from per-mutate callbacks passed to
mutation.mutate. React Query drops those handlers when the observer
component unmounts before the mutation settles; archiving the open chat
removes its sidebar row mid-flight, so the undo toast never appeared and
the e2e archive-undo test timed out waiting for it.
Move the success/error handlers to the mutation level (useArchiveThread
options, same pattern as useMoveThreadToProject) where callbacks are
delivered even after the originating row unmounts.
* fix(projects): pin project thread listing contract and exclude archived chats
GET /api/projects/{id}/threads returned the thread store row verbatim
(list[dict], no response_model): user_id/assistant_id leaked, any future
ThreadMetaRow column would auto-leak, and the OpenAPI schema was empty.
Return a narrow ProjectThreadResponse (the exact fields ProjectThread
declares) with the same metadata secret redaction the surrounding thread
endpoints get from _MetadataRedactingResponse.
The listing also ran search() without the archived filter, so a retired
chat rendered as a normal row on the project page while the sidebar hid
it. Search archived=False to mirror the sidebar's archived:false lists;
restore stays on the global Archived tab.
Both regressions pinned by new router tests: wire-shape allowlist and
archived-member exclusion.
* docs(migrations): record the 0019/0020 chain against the bootstrap reservation
The tree now chains 0018 -> 0019_projects -> 0020_threads_meta_project_id,
so migrations/AGENTS.md was stale twice over: the revision index stopped at
0018 and the rolling-forward section still claimed the tree 'deliberately
remains at 0018'.
Document the new head and record the intentional numeric-prefix reuse of
0019: 0019_projects is in-chain while 0019_thread_incarnations stays the
reserved, allowlisted out-of-tree rollout id. The owning rollout revision
must re-parent onto this tree's head when it merges so alembic never sees
two heads off 0018; bootstrap.py now cross-references that note next to
_FORWARD_COMPATIBLE_REVISION.
* fix(chats): invalidate project thread lists on archive/restore
useArchiveThread refreshed the infinite sidebar cache, threads/search and
the per-thread metadata cache but not the project-scoped list
([...PROJECTS_QUERY_KEY, 'threads', id]) this PR adds — the one thread
mutation not wired to that key, after usePinThread, useRenameThread,
useDeleteThread, useMoveThreadToProject and invalidateStoppedThreadCaches.
An archive from a sidebar row while a project page is open therefore left
the archived chat rendered as a normal row until remount (and undo left it
missing). Invalidate the prefix in the mutation-level success handler.
Regression test asserts the project-list prefix is invalidated on success.
* fix(projects): fetch project discovery only in grouped sidebar mode
RecentChatList mounted two useProjects queries per sidebar render, but
knownProjectIds is consumed only by the grouped-mode exclusion filter; in
the default flat mode every page load paid two GET /api/projects?status=
round trips for data nothing read. Gate both queries on grouped mode —
GroupedProjectList fetches the same keys when the toggle is on and
TanStack dedupes the observers.
Also set retry: false on useProject: a deleted or foreign project 404s
deterministically, and the page renders a dedicated not-found state for
it, so the default 1s/2s/4s retry backoff kept deep links in 'loading'
for ~7s before that state appeared. Matches useThreadMetadata /
useThreadTokenUsage.
* fix(threads): fail closed on project-scoped create in memory mode
MemoryThreadMetaStore.create accepted project_id and silently ignored it,
making memory mode the one membership path that fails open: POST
/api/threads with a project id returned 200 and the run started
unassigned, violating the invariant that a run never proceeds outside the
selected project (the SQL store raises ProjectNotAssignableError inside
the insert transaction for the same request).
Raise ProjectNotAssignableError whenever project_id is present so the
router's existing 404 mapping applies, the frontend keeps the composer
text for a retry, and memory mode behaves exactly like SQL mode.
set_project already reports rejection; create now matches it.
Store-level test (raises, nothing persisted, project filter stays empty,
unscoped creates still work) plus a router-level test asserting the 404
and that no row is left behind.
* fix(projects): window the project page thread list
ProjectThreadsSection rendered every loaded page as a plain Link row, so a
long-lived project accumulated unbounded DOM on the page's scroll surface:
each load-more appended another 100 rows and every formatTimeAgo tick
re-rendered the whole list.
Reuse VirtualThreadList (now generic over any row shape with a
thread_id), pointing its scroll parent at this page's ScrollArea viewport
via the shared [data-slot="scroll-area-viewport"] selector used by
/workspace/chats; under the 60-row threshold it falls back to the plain
render, so small projects are unchanged.
* fix(projects): restore row dividers and pin them with a render test
The row class template literal concatenated transition-colors directly
with the conditional border-b token, so non-final rows rendered the
invalid class 'transition-colorsborder-b' and lost both the divider and
the transition. Compose the row classes with cn() and a boolean guard
instead.
The section moved out of page.tsx into a testable component so the row
markup finally has coverage: a DOM test asserts every row except the
final data row carries border-b (index-based, not last: — correct under
virtualization where the last mounted row is not the last data row), and
the untitled fallback plus load-more button render for a partial page.
* fix(projects): validate forward schemas and fence membership reads

Schema Migrations (packages/harness/deerflow/persistence/migrations/)
DeerFlow's application tables (runs, threads_meta, feedback, users, run_events, plus the four channel_* tables) are owned by alembic via a hybrid bootstrap strategy. LangGraph's checkpointer tables (checkpoints, checkpoint_blobs, checkpoint_writes, checkpoint_migrations) live in the same database but are owned by LangGraph and excluded from alembic's view via migrations/_env_filters.py::include_object.
Convention: every ORM model change (new column, new table, new index) MUST ship as an alembic revision under migrations/versions/. The Gateway runs alembic upgrade head automatically on startup; routine production upgrades do not require manual Alembic commands. The audited offline recovery below is an exception for the out-of-tree incarnation revision.
Hybrid bootstrap (persistence/bootstrap.py::bootstrap_schema, invoked from persistence/engine.py::init_engine):
| DB state | Action |
|---|---|
| empty (no DeerFlow tables) | create_all + alembic stamp head |
legacy (DeerFlow tables, no alembic_version) |
create_all (baseline tables only, backfill) + alembic stamp 0001_baseline + upgrade head |
versioned (one locally known alembic_version row) |
alembic upgrade head |
0019_thread_incarnations with all current ORM tables/columns |
warn and skip migration |
0019_thread_incarnations missing local tables/columns |
refuse startup; offline recovery required |
| unknown revision, empty version table, or multiple version rows | fail closed and refuse to start |
The legacy branch handles pre-alembic databases that already have at least one DeerFlow-owned table. create_all runs first because stamping at 0001_baseline makes alembic skip the baseline's own create_table DDL on the subsequent upgrade — so any baseline table introduced into Base.metadata after the user's DB was first provisioned (e.g. the channel_* tables from PR #1930 for users upgrading across multiple releases) would otherwise never be created, and the first request hitting that table would 500 with no such table. The backfill is restricted to _BASELINE_TABLE_NAMES so it does not also create tables that future revisions introduce — those revisions' own op.create_table would otherwise fail with relation already exists. A guard test pins _BASELINE_TABLE_NAMES against 0001_baseline.upgrade()'s actual output, so editing 0001 to add or remove a table forces a matching update to the constant. Column-level shape (pre-#3658 vs post-#3658 vs manual-ALTER for token_usage_by_model) is answered by each versions/*.py revision via the idempotent helpers in migrations/_helpers.py (safe_add_column / safe_drop_column) which no-op when the change is already present and logger.warning on shape drift. Adding a new ORM column / table only requires a new revision file — no edit to bootstrap.py is needed unless the new revision adds a new baseline table (rare; only happens when a new model is part of the baseline rather than introduced by its own revision).
The empty-DB path keeps using create_all because Base.metadata is the only authoritative schema source — create_all renders both SQLite (JSON, type affinity) and Postgres (JSONB, partial indexes) correctly without anyone having to keep a hand-written baseline in lockstep. 0001_baseline.upgrade() is therefore almost never executed in practice; it exists as a stamp target + chain root.
Rolling forward compatibility: the local chain head is 0020_threads_meta_project_id
(0018_oauth_identity_pg_partial → 0019_projects → 0020_threads_meta_project_id).
Bootstrap reads alembic_version while holding its backend lock and accepts
exactly one row. A locally known revision follows the normal upgrade path. The
one unknown revision 0019_thread_incarnations is conditionally allowlisted:
bootstrap first requires every current ORM table and column, then logs a
warning and leaves the schema untouched. The original rollout shape (0018 plus
the two incarnation columns) is now rejected: it lacks projects and
threads_meta.project_id. Seeding current head is only a positive compatibility
fixture; tests must also construct the original 0018-based schema and assert
rejection on both the direct startup and SQLite race-recovery paths. The check
uses conn.run_sync reflection and derives its local floor from Base.metadata
so future ORM additions cannot silently bypass it. This checks presence only;
the additive DDL audit below still owns type/constraint compatibility. Any other
unknown revision, an empty version table, or multiple version rows fails
closed. Do not broaden the allowlist without proving that old repositories can
read, insert, and update through the newer schema; nullable additive columns
are covered by tests/test_persistence_forward_revision_compat.py. This
exception is reviewed only for the expand-only 0019 shape: nullable VARCHAR(32)
threads_meta.incarnation and mcp_tasks.thread_incarnation columns with no
server default, table, index, constraint, or data backfill. The owning
0019_thread_incarnations migration must cross-pin its revision id and schema
shape against the bootstrap contract; amending that DDL requires a fresh
old-repository compatibility audit. The 0019_ numeric prefix is intentionally
reused: 0019_projects is this tree's in-chain revision, while
0019_thread_incarnations is the reserved, out-of-tree rollout id allowlisted
above — revision ids only need to be unique, not numerically ordered, but the
owning rollout revision must re-parent from 0018_oauth_identity_pg_partial
onto this tree's head when it merges so alembic never sees two heads off
0018. Because SQLite has no cross-process bootstrap mutex, an old process may
read 0018 immediately before another process commits 0019. If its now-stale
Alembic upgrade fails, bootstrap re-reads the version and recovers only for the
exact allowlisted 0019 with all current ORM tables and columns while that
revision remains absent from the local migration tree. Do not generalize this recovery or apply it to a binary that
owns 0019; its migration failures must remain fatal.
For an existing database with the original 0018-plus-incarnation shape, use the audited offline recovery procedure. Bootstrap never re-stamps an unknown revision automatically. After stopping all writers, backing up, and verifying the exact additive schema, the operator may purge-stamp the known 0018 parent and apply this tree's 0019/0020 migrations; the extra nullable columns and their data remain intact. A regression exercises that procedure from the original schema and verifies repository reads/inserts and preservation of incarnation data.
Concurrency safety: Postgres uses pg_advisory_lock to serialise concurrent Gateway instances. SQLite uses a per-engine asyncio.Lock for same-process startup and is best-effort across processes via SQLite's file-level write lock + PRAGMA busy_timeout; multi-instance deployments should use Postgres. Column revisions in versions/ additionally use idempotent helpers (_helpers.py::safe_add_column, safe_drop_column) so repeated post-baseline changes and retries are no-ops when the change is already present.
Authoring a new revision:
cd backend && make migrate-rev MSG="add foo column to runs"
This invokes alembic revision --autogenerate against the live ORM models. Review the generated file under migrations/versions/ and switch raw op.add_column / op.drop_column calls to the idempotent helpers from _helpers.py before committing. There is no make migrate / make migrate-stamp target on purpose — routine upgrades execute at Gateway startup; the documented offline recovery is reserved for the audited out-of-tree schema.
Extension-owned tables. An extension that persists data owns its schema
end to end and must not register models against deerflow.persistence.base.Base
— doing so makes the host's empty-DB create_all create the extension's tables
on installs that never enabled it. The convention is:
-
one
MetaDatainstance private to the extension; -
every table sharing one prefix, declared via the
plugins:record'sExtensionSpec.table_prefixfield, soalembic revision --autogenerateignores them instead of reflecting them, finding them absent fromBase.metadata, and proposingdrop_table. Registration happens in two places on purpose, because two different processes read the filter:extensions/loader.py::load_extensionscovers the Gateway, andregister_configured_extension_table_prefixes()— called frommigrations/env.py— covers the alembic process, which never starts a Gateway and would otherwise see an empty prefix set exactly whereinclude_objectconsumes it. The alembic side reads the declaration out ofconfig.yamland never imports extension code: a migration process must not execute third-party code. The Gateway side registers unconditionally, even for a disabled or later-failing spec, because the tables it names may already exist in the database from a previous run. Because those two readers cannot both be right about an empty prefix — the Gateway's truthiness test reads it as "no prefix", a literal reader as one matching every table —ExtensionSpec.table_prefixcarriesmin_length=1, and the alembic-side reader (which parses raw YAML, so pydantic never runs there) skips anything that model would reject rather than raising: an operator does not expect to hear about a malformedconfig.yamlfrom alembic, and Gateway startup runs that same module throughbootstrap_schema;Scope, because it is narrower than it first appears:
make migrate-revis already safe without this.scripts/_autogen_revision.pybuilds a throwaway SQLite from the migration chain and diffs against that, so no extension table — and no LangGraph table — is ever reflected. The exposed path is runningalembic revision --autogeneratedirectly from the migrations directory, wherealembic.inipointssqlalchemy.urlat a real./data/deerflow.db. That is the same pathLANGGRAPH_OWNED_TABLEScovers, which is why that exclusion exists even though the throwaway-DB script landed in the same commit; -
an independent alembic chain with its own
version_table="<prefix>alembic_version", run fromExtensionService.start()againstExtensionRuntimeDeps.session_factory's bind — which is sequenced after the host's own bootstrap by construction, since services start once persistence is ready; -
a Postgres advisory lock around that upgrade, mirroring
bootstrap_schema, so concurrent Gateway instances serialise.
