docs: govern agent guidance size (#4799)
* docs: govern agent guidance size

* refactor: split agent guidance by code scope

* Clarify virtual path handling in AGENTS.md

Updated the translation section to clarify the role of `LocalSandboxProvider` and the handling of virtual paths in the tool layer.

Agent System

Lead Agent (packages/harness/deerflow/agents/lead_agent/agent.py):

  • Entry point: make_lead_agent(config: RunnableConfig) registered in langgraph.json
  • Dynamic model selection via create_chat_model() with thinking/vision support
  • Tools loaded via get_available_tools() - combines sandbox, built-in, MCP, community, and subagent tools
  • System prompt generated by apply_prompt_template() with skills, memory, and subagent instructions

ThreadState (packages/harness/deerflow/agents/thread_state.py):

  • Extends AgentState with: sandbox, thread_data, title, artifacts, todos, uploaded_files, viewed_images, goal, promoted, delegations, skill_context, summary_text
  • Uses custom reducers: merge_artifacts (deduplicate), merge_viewed_images (merge/clear), merge_goal (preserve the active goal across ordinary state updates unless the goal writer replaces it), merge_promoted (catalog-hash-scoped deferred tool promotions), merge_delegations (append task delegation entries, same id latest wins, terminal status never downgraded, capped to the most recent entries), and merge_skill_context (dedupe active-skill references by path, keep the most recently read entries; entries store a name/path/description reference, not the SKILL.md body). summary_text is a LastValue channel updated by summarization and projected into model requests as durable context data instead of being stored as a messages item.
  • Delta-mode merge_message_writes normalizes the current message state once, then folds normalized writes in order with message-ID position indexes and deferred tombstone compaction. It preserves public add_messages behavior, including duplicate IDs, replacement position, removal errors, REMOVE_ALL_MESSAGES, null-write errors, and missing-ID allocation order, without rescanning the accumulated state for every write. Keep this full-parity contract covered by differential tests: LangGraph's private _messages_delta_reducer is also linear, but intentionally omits some of those public add_messages semantics and cannot be substituted directly.

Runtime Configuration (via config.configurable):

  • thinking_enabled - Enable model's extended thinking
  • model_name - Select specific LLM model
  • is_plan_mode - Enable TodoList middleware
  • subagent_enabled - Enable task delegation tool
  • max_concurrent_subagents - Per-response task call concurrency limit (clamped by SubagentLimitMiddleware)
  • max_total_subagents - Optional per-run total delegation cap override (falls back to subagents.max_total_per_run, clamped to 1-50) Gateway and DeerFlowClient.stream() always provide the runtime run_id; custom graph integrations must do the same. If it is absent, enforcement deliberately counts the thread's full delegation ledger (fail-restrictive) and emits a warning.
