+# DeerFlow Smoke Test Skill
+
+This skill guides the Agent through DeerFlow's full end-to-end smoke test workflow, including code updates, deployment (supporting both Docker and local installation modes), service availability verification, and health checks.
+
+## Deployment Mode Selection
+
+This skill supports two deployment modes:
+- **Local installation mode** (recommended, especially when network issues occur) - Run all services directly on the local machine
+- **Docker mode** - Run all services inside Docker containers
+
+**Selection strategy**:
+- If the user explicitly asks for Docker mode, use Docker
+- If network issues occur (such as slow image pulls), automatically switch to local mode
+- Default to local mode whenever possible

+
+## Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)
+
+### Phase 1: Code Update Check
+
+1. **Confirm current directory** - Verify that the current working directory is the DeerFlow project root
+2. **Check Git status** - See whether there are uncommitted changes
+3. **Pull the latest code** - Use `git pull origin main` to get the latest updates
+4. **Confirm code update** - Verify that the latest code was pulled successfully
+
+### Phase 2: Deployment Mode Selection and Environment Check
+
+**Choose deployment mode**:
+- Ask for user preference, or choose automatically based on network conditions
+- Default to local installation mode
+
+**Local mode environment check**:
+1. **Check Node.js version** - Requires 22+
+2. **Check pnpm** - Package manager
+3. **Check uv** - Python package manager
+4. **Check nginx** - Reverse proxy
+5. **Check required ports** - Confirm that ports 2026, 3000, 8001, and 2024 are not occupied
+
+**Docker mode environment check** (if Docker is selected):
+1. **Check whether Docker is installed** - Run `docker --version`
+2. **Check Docker daemon status** - Run `docker info`
+3. **Check Docker Compose availability** - Run `docker compose version`
+4. **Check required ports** - Confirm that port 2026 is not occupied
+
+### Phase 3: Configuration Preparation
+
+1. **Check whether config.yaml exists**
+   - If it does not exist, run `make config` to generate it
+   - If it already exists, check whether it needs an upgrade with `make config-upgrade`
+2. **Check the .env file**
+   - Verify that required environment variables are configured
+   - Especially model API keys such as `OPENAI_API_KEY`
+
+### Phase 4: Deployment Execution
+
+**Local mode deployment**:
+1. **Check dependencies** - Run `make check`
+2. **Install dependencies** - Run `make install`
+3. **(Optional) Pre-pull the sandbox image** - If needed, run `make setup-sandbox`
+4. **Start services** - Run `make dev-daemon` (background mode, recommended) or `make dev` (foreground mode)
+5. **Wait for startup** - Give all services enough time to start completely (90-120 seconds recommended)
+
+**Docker mode deployment** (if Docker is selected):
+1. **Initialize Docker environment** - Run `make docker-init`
+2. **Start Docker services** - Run `make docker-start`
+3. **Wait for startup** - Give all containers enough time to start completely (60 seconds recommended)
+
+### Phase 5: Service Health Check
+
+**Local mode health check**:
+1. **Check process status** - Confirm that LangGraph, Gateway, Frontend, and Nginx processes are all running
+2. **Check frontend service** - Visit `http://localhost:2026` and verify that the page loads
+3. **Check API Gateway** - Verify the `http://localhost:2026/health` endpoint
+4. **Check LangGraph service** - Verify the availability of relevant endpoints
+5. **Frontend route smoke check** - Run `bash .agent/skills/smoke-test/scripts/frontend_check.sh` to verify key routes under `/workspace`
+
+**Docker mode health check** (when using Docker):
+1. **Check container status** - Run `docker ps` and confirm that all containers are running
+2. **Check frontend service** - Visit `http://localhost:2026` and verify that the page loads
+3. **Check API Gateway** - Verify the `http://localhost:2026/health` endpoint
+4. **Check LangGraph service** - Verify the availability of relevant endpoints
+5. **Frontend route smoke check** - Run `bash .agent/skills/smoke-test/scripts/frontend_check.sh` to verify key routes under `/workspace`
+
+### Optional Functional Verification
+
+1. **List available models** - Verify that model configuration loads correctly
+2. **List available skills** - Verify that the skill directory is mounted correctly
+3. **Simple chat test** - Send a simple message to verify the end-to-end flow
+
+### Phase 6: Generate Test Report
+
+1. **Collect all test results** - Summarize execution status for each phase
+2. **Record encountered issues** - If anything fails, record the error details
+3. **Generate the final report** - Use the template that matches the selected deployment mode to create the complete test report, including overall conclusion, detailed key test cases, and explicit frontend page / route results
+4. **Provide follow-up recommendations** - Offer suggestions based on the test results
+
+## Execution Rules
+
+- **Follow the sequence** - Execute strictly in the order described above
+- **Idempotency** - Every step should be safe to repeat
+- **Error handling** - If a step fails, stop and report the issue, then provide troubleshooting suggestions
+- **Detailed logging** - Record the execution result and status of each step
+- **User confirmation** - Ask for confirmation before potentially risky operations such as overwriting config
+- **Mode preference** - Prefer local mode to avoid network-related issues
+- **Template requirement** - The final report must use the matching template under `templates/`; do not output a free-form summary instead of the template-based report
+- **Report clarity** - The execution summary must include the overall pass/fail conclusion plus per-case result explanations, and frontend smoke check results must be listed explicitly in the report
+- **Optional phase handling** - If functional verification is not executed, do not present it as a separate skipped phase in the final report
+
+## Known Acceptable Warnings
+
+The following warnings can appear during smoke testing and do not block a successful result:
+- Feishu/Lark SSL errors in Gateway logs (certificate verification failure) can be ignored if that channel is not enabled
+- Warnings in LangGraph logs about missing methods in the custom checkpointer, such as `adelete_for_runs` or `aprune`, do not affect the core functionality
+
+## Key Tools
+
+Use the following tools during execution:
+
+1. **bash** - Run shell commands
+2. **present_file** - Show generated reports and important files
+3. **task_tool** - Organize complex steps with subtasks when needed
+

+
+**Symptoms**:
+```
+nginx: [emerg] mkdir() "/opt/homebrew/var/run/nginx/client_body_temp" failed (2: No such file or directory)
+```
+
+**Solutions**:
+Add local temp directory configuration to `docker/nginx/nginx.local.conf` so nginx uses the repository's temp directory.
+
+Add the following at the beginning of the `http` block:
+```nginx
+client_body_temp_path temp/client_body_temp;
+proxy_temp_path temp/proxy_temp;
+fastcgi_temp_path temp/fastcgi_temp;
+uwsgi_temp_path temp/uwsgi_temp;
+scgi_temp_path temp/scgi_temp;
+```
+
+Note: The `temp/` directory under the repository root is created automatically by `make dev` or `make dev-daemon`.
+
+---
+
+### Issue: Nginx Fails to Start (General)
+
+**Symptoms**:
+The nginx process fails to start or reports an error.
+
+**Solutions**:

+   ```
+
+2. Check nginx logs:
+   ```bash
+   tail -f logs/nginx.log
+   ```
+
+3. Ensure no other nginx process is running:
+   ```bash
+   ps aux | grep nginx
+   ```
+
+4. If needed, stop existing nginx processes:
+   ```bash
+   pkill -9 nginx
+   ```
+
+---
+
+### Issue: Frontend Compilation Fails

+2. Check whether Node.js version is 22+
+3. Reinstall frontend dependencies:
+   ```bash
+   cd frontend
+   rm -rf node_modules .next
+   pnpm install
+   ```
+
+4. Restart services:
+   ```bash
+   make stop
+   make dev-daemon
+   ```
+
+---
+
+### Issue: Gateway Fails to Start

+   cd backend
+   uv sync
+   ```
+
+4. Confirm that the LangGraph service is running normally (if not in gateway mode)
+
+---
+
+### Issue: LangGraph Fails to Start
+
+**Symptoms**:
+Errors appear in `langgraph.log`.
+
+**Solutions**:

+   ```
+
+2. Check YAML syntax:
+   - Make sure indentation is correct (use 2 spaces)
+   - Make sure there are no tab characters
+   - Check that there is a space after each colon
+
+3. Use a YAML validation tool to check the format
+
+---
+
+### Issue: Model API Key Is Not Configured
+
+**Symptoms**:
+After services start, API requests fail with authentication errors.
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. Edit the .env file and add the API key:
+   ```bash
+   OPENAI_API_KEY=your-actual-api-key-here

+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
+community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
+identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
+nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity
+and orientation.
+
+We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
+diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
+community include:
+
+* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
+* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
+* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
+* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
+  and learning from the experience
+* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the
+  overall community
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or
+  advances of any kind
+* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email
+  address, without their explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
+
+## Enforcement Responsibilities
+
+Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
+acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
+or harmful.
+
+Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
+comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
+not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
+decisions when appropriate.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
+an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
+Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address,
+posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at
+willem.jiang@gmail.com.
+All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
+
+All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
+reporter of any incident.
+
+## Enforcement Guidelines
+
+Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
+the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
+
+### 1. Correction
+
+**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
+unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
+
+**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
+clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
+behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
+
+### 2. Warning
+
+**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series
+of actions.
+
+**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
+interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
+those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
+includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
+like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or
+permanent ban.
+
+### 3. Temporary Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
+sustained inappropriate behavior.
+
+**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
+communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
+private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
+with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
+Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
+
+### 4. Permanent Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
+standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior,  harassment of an
+individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
+
+**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within
+the community.
+
+## Attribution
+
+This Code of Conduct is adapted from the [Contributor Covenant][homepage],
+version 2.0, available at
+https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/2/0/code_of_conduct.html.
+
+Community Impact Guidelines were inspired by [Mozilla's code of conduct
+enforcement ladder](https://github.com/mozilla/diversity).

+
+| Scenario | Starting point | Recommended | Notes |
+|---------|-----------|------------|-------|
+| `make dev` on one machine | 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM | 8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM | Best when DeerFlow uses hosted model APIs. |
+| `make docker-start` review environment | 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM | 8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM | Docker image builds and sandbox containers need extra headroom. |
+| Shared Linux test server | 8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM | 16 vCPU, 32 GB RAM | Prefer this for heavier multi-agent runs or multiple reviewers. |
+
+`2 vCPU / 4 GB` environments often fail to start reliably or become unresponsive under normal DeerFlow workloads.

    OpenRouter and similar OpenAI-compatible gateways should be configured with `langchain_openai:ChatOpenAI` plus `base_url`. If you prefer a provider-specific environment variable name, point `api_key` at that variable explicitly (for example `api_key: $OPENROUTER_API_KEY`).

For Qwen-style reasoning models, DeerFlow toggles reasoning with `extra_body.chat_template_kwargs.enable_thinking` and preserves vLLM's non-standard `reasoning` field across multi-turn tool-call conversations. Legacy `thinking` configs are normalized automatically for backward compatibility. Reasoning models may also require the server to be started with `--reasoning-parser ...`. If your local vLLM deployment accepts any non-empty API key, you can still set `VLLM_API_KEY` to a placeholder value.

 ### Running the Application
 
+#### Deployment Sizing
+
+Use the table below as a practical starting point when choosing how to run DeerFlow:
+
+| Deployment target | Starting point | Recommended | Notes |
+|---------|-----------|------------|-------|
+| Local evaluation / `make dev` | 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 20 GB free SSD | 8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM | Good for one developer or one light session with hosted model APIs. `2 vCPU / 4 GB` is usually not enough. |
+| Docker development / `make docker-start` | 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 25 GB free SSD | 8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM | Image builds, bind mounts, and sandbox containers need more headroom than pure local dev. |
+| Long-running server / `make up` | 8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 40 GB free SSD | 16 vCPU, 32 GB RAM | Preferred for shared use, multi-agent runs, report generation, or heavier sandbox workloads. |
+
+- These numbers cover DeerFlow itself. If you also host a local LLM, size that service separately.
+- Linux plus Docker is the recommended deployment target for a persistent server. macOS and Windows are best treated as development or evaluation environments.
+- If CPU or memory usage stays pinned, reduce concurrent runs first, then move to the next sizing tier.

+
+> **Gateway mode** eliminates the LangGraph server process — the Gateway API handles agent execution directly via async tasks, managing its own concurrency.
+
+#### Why Gateway Mode?
+
+In standard mode, DeerFlow runs a dedicated [LangGraph Platform](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/) server alongside the Gateway API. This architecture works well but has trade-offs:
+
+| | Standard Mode | Gateway Mode |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Architecture** | Gateway (REST API) + LangGraph (agent runtime) | Gateway embeds agent runtime |
+| **Concurrency** | `--n-jobs-per-worker` per worker (requires license) | `--workers` × async tasks (no per-worker cap) |
+| **Containers / Processes** | 4 (frontend, gateway, langgraph, nginx) | 3 (frontend, gateway, nginx) |
+| **Resource usage** | Higher (two Python runtimes) | Lower (single Python runtime) |
+| **LangGraph Platform license** | Required for production images | Not required |
+| **Cold start** | Slower (two services to initialize) | Faster |
+
+Both modes are functionally equivalent — the same agents, tools, and skills work in either mode.
+
+#### Docker Production Deployment
+
+`deploy.sh` supports building and starting separately. Images are mode-agnostic — runtime mode is selected at start time:
+
+```bash
+# One-step (build + start)
+deploy.sh                    # standard mode (default)
+deploy.sh --gateway          # gateway mode

+#### Using Both Providers
+
+If both LangSmith and Langfuse are enabled, DeerFlow attaches both tracing callbacks and reports the same model activity to both systems.
+
+If a provider is explicitly enabled but missing required credentials, or if its callback fails to initialize, DeerFlow fails fast when tracing is initialized during model creation and the error message names the provider that caused the failure.
+
 For Docker deployments, tracing is disabled by default. Set `LANGSMITH_TRACING=true` and `LANGSMITH_API_KEY` in your `.env` to enable it.

 ### 运行应用
 
+#### 部署建议与资源规划
+
+可以先按下面的资源档位来选择 DeerFlow 的运行方式：
+
+| 部署场景 | 起步配置 | 推荐配置 | 说明 |
+|---------|-----------|------------|-------|
+| 本地体验 / `make dev` | 4 vCPU、8 GB 内存、20 GB SSD 可用空间 | 8 vCPU、16 GB 内存 | 适合单个开发者或单个轻量会话，且模型走外部 API。`2 核 / 4 GB` 通常跑不稳。 |
+| Docker 开发 / `make docker-start` | 4 vCPU、8 GB 内存、25 GB SSD 可用空间 | 8 vCPU、16 GB 内存 | 镜像构建、源码挂载和 sandbox 容器都会比纯本地模式更吃资源。 |
+| 长期运行服务 / `make up` | 8 vCPU、16 GB 内存、40 GB SSD 可用空间 | 16 vCPU、32 GB 内存 | 更适合共享环境、多 agent 任务、报告生成或更重的 sandbox 负载。 |
+
+- 上面的配置只覆盖 DeerFlow 本身；如果你还要本机部署本地大模型，请单独为模型服务预留资源。
+- 持续运行的服务更推荐使用 Linux + Docker。macOS 和 Windows 更适合作为开发机或体验环境。
+- 如果 CPU 或内存长期打满，先降低并发会话或重任务数量，再考虑升级到更高一档配置。

+"""Authorization decorators and context for DeerFlow.
+
+Inspired by LangGraph Auth system: https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraph/blob/main/libs/sdk-py/langgraph_sdk/auth/__init__.py
+
+**Usage:**
+
+1. Use ``@require_auth`` on routes that need authentication
+2. Use ``@require_permission("resource", "action", filter_key=...)`` for permission checks
+3. The decorator chain processes from bottom to top
+
+**Example:**
+
+    @router.get("/{thread_id}")
+    @require_auth
+    @require_permission("threads", "read", owner_check=True)
+    async def get_thread(thread_id: str, request: Request):
+        # User is authenticated and has threads:read permission
+        ...
+
+**Permission Model:**
+
+- threads:read   - View thread
+- threads:write  - Create/update thread
+- threads:delete - Delete thread
+- runs:create   - Run agent
+- runs:read     - View run
+- runs:cancel   - Cancel run

+**Recursion Limit:**
+
+`config.recursion_limit` caps the number of graph steps LangGraph will execute
+in a single run. The `/api/langgraph/*` endpoints go straight to the LangGraph
+server and therefore inherit LangGraph's native default of **25**, which is
+too low for plan-mode or subagent-heavy runs — the agent typically errors out
+with `GraphRecursionError` after the first round of subagent results comes
+back, before the lead agent can synthesize the final answer.
+
+DeerFlow's own Gateway and IM-channel paths mitigate this by defaulting to
+`100` in `build_run_config` (see `backend/app/gateway/services.py`), but
+clients calling the LangGraph API directly must set `recursion_limit`
+explicitly in the request body. `100` matches the Gateway default and is a
+safe starting point; increase it if you run deeply nested subagent graphs.

+# Docker Test Gap (Section 七 7.4)
+
+This file documents the only **un-executed** test cases from
+`backend/docs/AUTH_TEST_PLAN.md` after the full release validation pass.
+
+## Why this gap exists
+
+The release validation environment (sg_dev: `10.251.229.92`) **does not have
+a Docker daemon installed**. The TC-DOCKER cases are container-runtime
+behavior tests that need an actual Docker engine to spin up
+`docker/docker-compose.yaml` services.
+
+```bash
+$ ssh sg_dev "which docker; docker --version"
+# (empty)
+# bash: docker: command not found
+```
+
+All other test plan sections were executed against either:
+- The local dev box (Mac, all services running locally), or
+- The deployed sg_dev instance (gateway + frontend + nginx via SSH tunnel)
+
+## Cases not executed
+
+| Case | Title | What it covers | Why not run |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| TC-DOCKER-01 | `users.db` volume persistence | Verify the `DEER_FLOW_HOME` bind mount survives container restart | needs `docker compose up` |
+| TC-DOCKER-02 | Session persistence across container restart | `AUTH_JWT_SECRET` env var keeps cookies valid after `docker compose down && up` | needs `docker compose down/up` |
+| TC-DOCKER-03 | Per-worker rate limiter divergence | Confirms in-process `_login_attempts` dict doesn't share state across `gunicorn` workers (4 by default in the compose file); known limitation, documented | needs multi-worker container |
+| TC-DOCKER-04 | IM channels skip AuthMiddleware | Verify Feishu/Slack/Telegram dispatchers run in-container against `http://langgraph:2024` without going through nginx | needs `docker logs` |
+| TC-DOCKER-05 | Admin credentials surfacing | **Updated post-simplify** — was "log scrape", now "0600 credential file in `DEER_FLOW_HOME`". The file-based behavior is already validated by TC-1.1 + TC-UPG-13 on sg_dev (non-Docker), so the only Docker-specific gap is verifying the volume mount carries the file out to the host | needs container + host volume |
+| TC-DOCKER-06 | Gateway-mode Docker deploy | `./scripts/deploy.sh --gateway` produces a 3-container topology (no `langgraph` container); same auth flow as standard mode | needs `docker compose --profile gateway` |
+
+## Coverage already provided by non-Docker tests
+
+The **auth-relevant** behavior in each Docker case is already exercised by
+the test cases that ran on sg_dev or local:
+
+| Docker case | Auth behavior covered by |
+|---|---|
+| TC-DOCKER-01 (volume persistence) | TC-REENT-01 on sg_dev (admin row survives gateway restart) — same SQLite file, just no container layer between |
+| TC-DOCKER-02 (session persistence) | TC-API-02/03/06 (cookie roundtrip), plus TC-REENT-04 (multi-cookie) — JWT verification is process-state-free, container restart is equivalent to `pkill uvicorn && uv run uvicorn` |
+| TC-DOCKER-03 (per-worker rate limit) | TC-GW-04 + TC-REENT-09 (single-worker rate limit + 5min expiry). The cross-worker divergence is an architectural property of the in-memory dict; no auth code path differs |
+| TC-DOCKER-04 (IM channels skip auth) | Code-level only: `app/channels/manager.py` uses `langgraph_sdk` directly with no cookie handling. The langgraph_auth handler is bypassed by going through SDK, not HTTP |
+| TC-DOCKER-05 (credential surfacing) | TC-1.1 on sg_dev (file at `~/deer-flow/backend/.deer-flow/admin_initial_credentials.txt`, mode 0600, password 22 chars) — the only Docker-unique step is whether the bind mount projects this path onto the host, which is a `docker compose` config check, not a runtime behavior change |
+| TC-DOCKER-06 (gateway-mode container) | Section 七 7.2 covered by TC-GW-01..05 + Section 二 (gateway-mode auth flow on sg_dev) — same Gateway code, container is just a packaging change |
+
+## Reproduction steps when Docker becomes available
+
+Anyone with `docker` + `docker compose` installed can reproduce the gap by
+running the test plan section verbatim. Pre-flight:
+
+```bash
+# Required on the host
+docker --version           # >=24.x
+docker compose version     # plugin >=2.x
+
+# Required env var (otherwise sessions reset on every container restart)
+echo "AUTH_JWT_SECRET=$(python3 -c 'import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(32))')" \
+  >> .env
+
+# Optional: pin DEER_FLOW_HOME to a stable host path
+echo "DEER_FLOW_HOME=$HOME/deer-flow-data" >> .env
+```
+
+Then run TC-DOCKER-01..06 from the test plan as written.
+
+## Decision log
+
+- **Not blocking the release.** The auth-relevant behavior in every Docker
+  case has an already-validated equivalent on bare metal. The gap is purely
+  about *container packaging* details (bind mounts, multi-worker, log
+  collection), not about whether the auth code paths work.
+- **TC-DOCKER-05 was updated in place** in `AUTH_TEST_PLAN.md` to reflect
+  the post-simplify reality (credentials file → 0600 file, no log leak).
+  The old "grep 'Password:' in docker logs" expectation would have failed
+  silently and given a false sense of coverage.

+# Authentication Upgrade Guide
+
+DeerFlow 内置了认证模块。本文档面向从无认证版本升级的用户。
+
+## 核心概念
+
+认证模块采用**始终强制**策略：
+
+- 首次启动时自动创建 admin 账号，随机密码打印到控制台日志
+- 认证从一开始就是强制的，无竞争窗口
+- 历史对话（升级前创建的 thread）自动迁移到 admin 名下
+
+## 升级步骤
+
+### 1. 更新代码
+
+```bash
+git pull origin main
+cd backend && make install
+```
+
+### 2. 首次启动
+
+```bash
+make dev
+```
+
+控制台会输出：
+
+```
+============================================================
+  Admin account created on first boot
+  Email:    admin@deerflow.dev
+  Password: aB3xK9mN_pQ7rT2w
+  Change it after login: Settings → Account
+============================================================
+```
+
+如果未登录就重启了服务，不用担心——只要 setup 未完成，每次启动都会重置密码并重新打印到控制台。
+
+### 3. 登录
+
+访问 `http://localhost:2026/login`，使用控制台输出的邮箱和密码登录。
+
+### 4. 修改密码
+
+登录后进入 Settings → Account → Change Password。
+
+### 5. 添加用户（可选）
+
+其他用户通过 `/login` 页面注册，自动获得 **user** 角色。每个用户只能看到自己的对话。
+
+## 安全机制
+
+| 机制 | 说明 |
+|------|------|
+| JWT HttpOnly Cookie | Token 不暴露给 JavaScript，防止 XSS 窃取 |
+| CSRF Double Submit Cookie | 所有 POST/PUT/DELETE 请求需携带 `X-CSRF-Token` |
+| bcrypt 密码哈希 | 密码不以明文存储 |
+| 多租户隔离 | 用户只能访问自己的 thread |
+| HTTPS 自适应 | 检测 `x-forwarded-proto`，自动设置 `Secure` cookie 标志 |
+
+## 常见操作
+
+### 忘记密码
+
+```bash
+cd backend
+
+# 重置 admin 密码
+python -m app.gateway.auth.reset_admin
+
+# 重置指定用户密码
+python -m app.gateway.auth.reset_admin --email user@example.com
+```
+
+会输出新的随机密码。
+
+### 完全重置
+
+删除用户数据库，重启后自动创建新 admin：
+
+```bash
+rm -f backend/.deer-flow/users.db
+# 重启服务，控制台输出新密码
+```
+
+## 数据存储
+
+| 文件 | 内容 |
+|------|------|
+| `.deer-flow/users.db` | SQLite 用户数据库（密码哈希、角色） |
+| `.env` 中的 `AUTH_JWT_SECRET` | JWT 签名密钥（未设置时自动生成临时密钥，重启后 session 失效） |
+
+### 生产环境建议
+
+```bash
+# 生成持久化 JWT 密钥，避免重启后所有用户需重新登录
+python -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(32))"
+# 将输出添加到 .env：
+# AUTH_JWT_SECRET=<生成的密钥>
+```
+
+## API 端点
+
+| 端点 | 方法 | 说明 |
+|------|------|------|
+| `/api/v1/auth/login/local` | POST | 邮箱密码登录（OAuth2 form） |
+| `/api/v1/auth/register` | POST | 注册新用户（user 角色） |
+| `/api/v1/auth/logout` | POST | 登出（清除 cookie） |
+| `/api/v1/auth/me` | GET | 获取当前用户信息 |
+| `/api/v1/auth/change-password` | POST | 修改密码 |
+| `/api/v1/auth/setup-status` | GET | 检查 admin 是否存在 |
+
+## 兼容性
+
+- **标准模式**（`make dev`）：完全兼容，admin 自动创建
+- **Gateway 模式**（`make dev-pro`）：完全兼容
+- **Docker 部署**：完全兼容，`.deer-flow/users.db` 需持久化卷挂载
+- **IM 渠道**（Feishu/Slack/Telegram）：通过 LangGraph SDK 通信，不经过认证层
+- **DeerFlowClient**（嵌入式）：不经过 HTTP，不受认证影响
+
+## 故障排查
+
+| 症状 | 原因 | 解决 |
+|------|------|------|
+| 启动后没看到密码 | admin 已存在（非首次启动） | 用 `reset_admin` 重置，或删 `users.db` |
+| 登录后 POST 返回 403 | CSRF token 缺失 | 确认前端已更新 |
+| 重启后需要重新登录 | `AUTH_JWT_SECRET` 未持久化 | 在 `.env` 中设置固定密钥 |

+# DeerFlow 流式输出设计
+
+本文档解释 DeerFlow 是如何把 LangGraph agent 的事件流端到端送到两类消费者（HTTP 客户端、嵌入式 Python 调用方）的：两条路径为什么**必须**并存、它们各自的契约是什么、以及设计里那些 non-obvious 的不变式。
+
+---
+
+## TL;DR
+
+- DeerFlow 有**两条并行**的流式路径：**Gateway 路径**（async / HTTP SSE / JSON 序列化）服务浏览器和 IM 渠道；**DeerFlowClient 路径**（sync / in-process / 原生 LangChain 对象）服务 Jupyter、脚本、测试。它们**无法合并**——消费者模型不同。
+- 两条路径都从 `create_agent()` 工厂出发，核心都是订阅 LangGraph 的 `stream_mode=["values", "messages", "custom"]`。`values` 是节点级 state 快照，`messages` 是 LLM token 级 delta，`custom` 是显式 `StreamWriter` 事件。**这三种模式不是详细程度的梯度，是三个独立的事件源**，要 token 流就必须显式订阅 `messages`。
+- 嵌入式 client 为每个 `stream()` 调用维护三个 `set[str]`：`seen_ids` / `streamed_ids` / `counted_usage_ids`。三者看起来相似但管理**三个独立的不变式**，不能合并。
+
+---
+
+## 为什么有两条流式路径
+
+两条路径服务的消费者模型根本不同：
+
+| 维度 | Gateway 路径 | DeerFlowClient 路径 |
+|---|---|---|
+| 入口 | FastAPI `/runs/stream` endpoint | `DeerFlowClient.stream(message)` |
+| 触发层 | `runtime/runs/worker.py::run_agent` | `packages/harness/deerflow/client.py::DeerFlowClient.stream` |
+| 执行模型 | `async def` + `agent.astream()` | sync generator + `agent.stream()` |
+| 事件传输 | `StreamBridge`（asyncio Queue）+ `sse_consumer` | 直接 `yield` |
+| 序列化 | `serialize(chunk)` → 纯 JSON dict，匹配 LangGraph Platform wire 格式 | `StreamEvent.data`，携带原生 LangChain 对象 |
+| 消费者 | 前端 `useStream` React hook、飞书/Slack/Telegram channel、LangGraph SDK 客户端 | Jupyter notebook、集成测试、内部 Python 脚本 |
+| 生命周期管理 | `RunManager`：run_id 跟踪、disconnect 语义、multitask 策略、heartbeat | 无；函数返回即结束 |
+| 断连恢复 | `Last-Event-ID` SSE 重连 | 无需要 |
+
+**两条路径的存在是 DRY 的刻意妥协**：Gateway 的全部基础设施（async + Queue + JSON + RunManager）**都是为了跨网络边界把事件送给 HTTP 消费者**。当生产者（agent）和消费者（Python 调用栈）在同一个进程时，这整套东西都是纯开销。
+
+### 为什么不能让 DeerFlowClient 复用 Gateway
+
+曾经考虑过三种复用方案，都被否决：
+
+1. **让 `client.stream()` 变成 `async def client.astream()`**  
+   breaking change。用户用不上的 `async for` / `asyncio.run()` 要硬塞进 Jupyter notebook 和同步脚本。DeerFlowClient 的一大卖点（"把 agent 当普通函数调用"）直接消失。
+
+2. **在 `client.stream()` 内部起一个独立事件循环线程，用 `StreamBridge` 在 sync/async 之间做桥接**  
+   引入线程池、队列、信号量。为了"消除重复"，把**复杂度**代替代码行数引进来。是典型的"wrong abstraction"——开销高于复用收益。
+
+3. **让 `run_agent` 自己兼容 sync mode**  
+   给 Gateway 加一条用不到的死分支，污染 worker.py 的焦点。
+
+所以两条路径的事件处理逻辑会**相似但不共享**。这是刻意设计，不是疏忽。
+
+---
+
+## LangGraph `stream_mode` 三层语义
+
+LangGraph 的 `agent.stream(stream_mode=[...])` 是**多路复用**接口：一次订阅多个 mode，每个 mode 是一个独立的事件源。三种核心 mode：
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+    classDef values fill:#B8C5D1,stroke:#5A6B7A,color:#2C3E50
+    classDef messages fill:#C9B8A8,stroke:#7A6B5A,color:#2C3E50

+    end
+
+    LG -->|"每个节点完成后"| V["values: 完整 state 快照"]
+    Node1 -->|"LLM 每产生一个 token"| M["messages: (AIMessageChunk, meta)"]
+    Node1 -->|"StreamWriter.write()"| C["custom: 任意 dict"]
+
+    class V values
+    class M messages
+    class C custom
+```
+
+| Mode | 发射时机 | Payload | 粒度 |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `values` | 每个 graph 节点完成后 | 完整 state dict（title、messages、artifacts）| 节点级 |
+| `messages` | LLM 每次 yield 一个 chunk；tool 节点完成时 | `(AIMessageChunk \| ToolMessage, metadata_dict)` | token 级 |
+| `custom` | 用户代码显式调用 `StreamWriter.write()` | 任意 dict | 应用定义 |
+
+### 两套命名的由来
+
+同一件事在**三个协议层**有三个名字：
+
+```
+Application                    HTTP / SSE                    LangGraph Graph
+┌──────────────┐               ┌──────────────┐              ┌──────────────┐
+│ frontend     │               │ LangGraph    │              │ agent.astream│
+│ useStream    │──"messages-   │ Platform SDK │──"messages"──│ graph.astream│
+│ Feishu IM    │   tuple"──────│ HTTP wire    │              │              │
+└──────────────┘               └──────────────┘              └──────────────┘
+```
+
+- **Graph 层**（`agent.stream` / `agent.astream`）：LangGraph Python 直接 API，mode 叫 **`"messages"`**。
+- **Platform SDK 层**（`langgraph-sdk` HTTP client）：跨进程 HTTP 契约，mode 叫 **`"messages-tuple"`**。
+- **Gateway worker** 显式做翻译：`if m == "messages-tuple": lg_modes.append("messages")`（`runtime/runs/worker.py:117-121`）。
+
+**后果**：`DeerFlowClient.stream()` 直接调 `agent.stream()`（Graph 层），所以必须传 `"messages"`。`app/channels/manager.py` 通过 `langgraph-sdk` 走 HTTP SDK，所以传 `"messages-tuple"`。**这两个字符串不能互相替代**，也不能抽成"一个共享常量"——它们是不同协议层的 type alias，共享只会让某一层说不是它母语的话。

+        end
+    end
+```
+
+关键组件：
+
+- `runtime/runs/worker.py::run_agent` — 在 `asyncio.Task` 里跑 `agent.astream()`，把每个 chunk 通过 `serialize(chunk, mode=mode)` 转成 JSON，再 `bridge.publish()`。
+- `runtime/stream_bridge` — 抽象 Queue。`publish/subscribe` 解耦生产者和消费者，支持 `Last-Event-ID` 重连、心跳、多订阅者 fan-out。
+- `app/gateway/services.py::sse_consumer` — 从 bridge 订阅，格式化为 SSE wire 帧。
+- `runtime/serialization.py::serialize` — mode-aware 序列化；`messages` mode 下 `serialize_messages_tuple` 把 `(chunk, metadata)` 转成 `[chunk.model_dump(), metadata]`。
+
+**`StreamBridge` 的存在价值**：当生产者（`run_agent` 任务）和消费者（HTTP 连接）在不同的 asyncio task 里运行时，需要一个可以跨 task 传递事件的中介。Queue 同时还承担断连重连的 buffer 和多订阅者的 fan-out。
+
+---
+
+## DeerFlowClient 路径：sync + in-process
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    participant User as Python caller
+    participant Client as DeerFlowClient.stream
+    participant Agent as LangGraph<br/>agent.stream (sync)
+
+    User->>Client: for event in client.stream("hi"):
+    Client->>Agent: stream(stream_mode=["values","messages","custom"])
+    loop 每个 chunk

+        Client-->>User: yield StreamEvent
+    end
+    Client-->>User: yield StreamEvent(type="end")
+```
+
+对比之下，sync 路径的每个环节都是显著更少的移动部件：
+
+- 没有 `RunManager` —— 一次 `stream()` 调用对应一次生命周期，无需 run_id。
+- 没有 `StreamBridge` —— 直接 `yield`，生产和消费在同一个 Python 调用栈，不需要跨 task 中介。
+- 没有 JSON 序列化 —— `StreamEvent.data` 直接装原生 LangChain 对象（`AIMessage.content`、`usage_metadata` 的 `UsageMetadata` TypedDict）。Jupyter 用户拿到的是真正的类型，不是匿名 dict。
+- 没有 asyncio —— 调用者可以直接 `for event in ...`，不必写 `async for`。
+
+---
+
+## 消费语义：delta vs cumulative
+
+LangGraph `messages` mode 给出的是 **delta**：每个 `AIMessageChunk.content` 只包含这一次新 yield 的 token，**不是**从头的累计文本。
+
+这个语义和 LangChain 的 `fs2 Stream` 风格一致：**上游发增量，下游负责累加**。Gateway 路径里前端 `useStream` React hook 自己维护累加器；DeerFlowClient 路径里 `chat()` 方法替调用者做累加。
+
+### `DeerFlowClient.chat()` 的 O(n) 累加器
+
+```python
+chunks: dict[str, list[str]] = {}
+last_id: str = ""
+for event in self.stream(message, thread_id=thread_id, **kwargs):
+    if event.type == "messages-tuple" and event.data.get("type") == "ai":
+        msg_id = event.data.get("id") or ""
+        delta = event.data.get("content", "")
+        if delta:
+            chunks.setdefault(msg_id, []).append(delta)
+            last_id = msg_id
+return "".join(chunks.get(last_id, ()))
+```
+
+**为什么不是 `buffers[id] = buffers.get(id,"") + delta`**：CPython 的字符串 in-place concat 优化仅在 refcount=1 且 LHS 是 local name 时生效；这里字符串存在 dict 里被 reassign，优化失效，每次都是 O(n) 拷贝 → 总体 O(n²)。实测 50 KB / 5000 chunk 的回复要 100-300ms 纯拷贝开销。用 `list` + `"".join()` 是 O(n)。
+
+---
+
+## 三个 id set 为什么不能合并
+
+`DeerFlowClient.stream()` 在一次调用生命周期内维护三个 `set[str]`：
+
+```python
+seen_ids: set[str] = set()           # values 路径内部 dedup
+streamed_ids: set[str] = set()       # messages → values 跨模式 dedup
+counted_usage_ids: set[str] = set()  # usage_metadata 幂等计数
+```
+
+乍看像是"三份几乎一样的东西"，实际每个管**不同的不变式**。
+
+| Set | 负责的不变式 | 被谁填充 | 被谁查询 |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `seen_ids` | 连续两个 `values` 快照里同一条 message 只生成一个 `messages-tuple` 事件 | values 分支每处理一条消息就加入 | values 分支处理下一条消息前检查 |
+| `streamed_ids` | 如果一条消息已经通过 `messages` 模式 token 级流过，values 快照到达时**不要**再合成一次完整 `messages-tuple` | messages 分支每发一个 AI/tool 事件就加入 | values 分支看到消息时检查 |
+| `counted_usage_ids` | 同一个 `usage_metadata` 在 messages 末尾 chunk 和 values 快照的 final AIMessage 里各带一份，**累计总量只算一次** | `_account_usage()` 每次接受 usage 就加入 | `_account_usage()` 每次调用时检查 |
+
+### 为什么不能只用一个 set
+
+关键观察：**同一个 message id 在这三个 set 里的加入时机不同**。
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    participant M as messages mode
+    participant V as values mode
+    participant SS as streamed_ids
+    participant SU as counted_usage_ids
+    participant SE as seen_ids
+
+    Note over M: 第一个 AI text chunk 到达
+    M->>SS: add(msg_id)
+    Note over M: 最后一个 chunk 带 usage
+    M->>SU: add(msg_id)
+    Note over V: snapshot 到达，包含同一条 AI message
+    V->>SE: add(msg_id)
+    V->>SS: 查询 → 已存在，跳过文本合成
+    V->>SU: 查询 → 已存在，不重复计数
+```
+
+- `seen_ids` **永远在 values 快照到达时**加入，所以它是 "values 已处理" 的标记。一条只出现在 messages 流里的消息（罕见但可能），`seen_ids` 里永远没有它。
+- `streamed_ids` **在 messages 流的第一个有效事件时**加入。一条只通过 values 快照到达的非 AI 消息（HumanMessage、被 truncate 的 tool 消息），`streamed_ids` 里永远没有它。
+- `counted_usage_ids` **只在看到非空 `usage_metadata` 时**加入。一条完全没有 usage 的消息（tool message、错误消息）永远不会进去。
+
+**集合包含关系**：`counted_usage_ids ⊆ (streamed_ids ∪ seen_ids)` 大致成立，但**不是严格子集**，因为一条消息可以在 messages 模式流完 text 但**在最后那个带 usage 的 chunk 之前**就被 values snapshot 赶上——此时它已经在 `streamed_ids` 里，但还不在 `counted_usage_ids` 里。把它们合并成一个 dict-of-flags 会让这个微妙的时序依赖**从类型系统里消失**，变成注释里的一句话。三个独立的 set 把不变式显式化了：每个 set 名对应一个可以口头回答的问题。
+
+---
+
+## 端到端：一次真实对话的事件时序
+
+假设调用 `client.stream("Count from 1 to 15")`，LLM 给出 "one\ntwo\n...\nfifteen"（88 字符），tokenizer 把它拆成 ~35 个 BPE chunk。下面是事件到达序列的精简版：
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    participant U as User
+    participant C as DeerFlowClient
+    participant A as LangGraph<br/>agent.stream
+
+    U->>C: stream("Count ... 15")
+    C->>A: stream(mode=["values","messages","custom"])
+
+    A-->>C: ("values", {messages: [HumanMessage]})
+    C-->>U: StreamEvent(type="values", ...)
+
+    Note over A,C: LLM 开始 yield token
+    loop 35 次，约 476ms
+        A-->>C: ("messages", (AIMessageChunk(content="ele"), meta))
+        C->>C: streamed_ids.add(ai-1)
+        C-->>U: StreamEvent(type="messages-tuple",<br/>data={type:ai, content:"ele", id:ai-1})
+    end
+
+    Note over A: LLM finish_reason=stop，最后一个 chunk 带 usage
+    A-->>C: ("messages", (AIMessageChunk(content="", usage_metadata={...}), meta))
+    C->>C: counted_usage_ids.add(ai-1)<br/>(无文本，不 yield)
+
+    A-->>C: ("values", {messages: [..., AIMessage(complete)]})
+    C->>C: ai-1 in streamed_ids → 跳过合成
+    C->>C: 捕获 usage (已在 counted_usage_ids，no-op)
+    C-->>U: StreamEvent(type="values", ...)
+
+    C-->>U: StreamEvent(type="end", data={usage:{...}})
+```
+
+关键观察：
+
+1. 用户看到 **35 个 messages-tuple 事件**，跨越约 476ms，每个事件带一个 token delta 和同一个 `id=ai-1`。
+2. 最后一个 `values` 快照里的 `AIMessage` **不会**再触发一个完整的 `messages-tuple` 事件——因为 `ai-1 in streamed_ids` 跳过了合成。
+3. `end` 事件里的 `usage` 正好等于那一份 cumulative usage，**不是它的两倍**——`counted_usage_ids` 在 messages 末尾 chunk 上已经吸收了，values 分支的重复访问是 no-op。
+4. 消费者拿到的 `content` 是**增量**："ele" 只包含 3 个字符，不是 "one\ntwo\n...ele"。想要完整文本要按 `id` 累加，`chat()` 已经帮你做了。
+
+---
+
+## 为什么这个设计容易出 bug，以及测试策略
+
+本文档的直接起因是 bytedance/deer-flow#1969：`DeerFlowClient.stream()` 原本只订阅 `["values", "custom"]`，**漏了 `"messages"`**。结果 `client.stream("hello")` 等价于一次性返回，视觉上和 `chat()` 没区别。
+
+这类 bug 有三个结构性原因：
+
+1. **多协议层命名**：`messages` / `messages-tuple` / HTTP SSE `messages` 是同一概念的三个名字。在其中一层出错不会在另外两层报错。
+2. **多消费者模型**：Gateway 和 DeerFlowClient 是两套独立实现，**没有单一的"订阅哪些 mode"的 single source of truth**。前者订阅对了不代表后者也订阅对了。
+3. **mock 测试绕开了真实路径**：老测试用 `agent.stream.return_value = iter([dict_chunk, ...])` 喂 values 形状的 dict 模拟 state 快照。这样构造的输入**永远不会进入 `messages` mode 分支**，所以即使 `stream_mode` 里少一个元素，CI 依然全绿。
+
+### 防御手段
+
+真正的防线是**显式断言 "messages" mode 被订阅 + 用真实 chunk shape mock**：
+
+```python
+# tests/test_client.py::test_messages_mode_emits_token_deltas
+agent.stream.return_value = iter([
+    ("messages", (AIMessageChunk(content="Hel", id="ai-1"), {})),
+    ("messages", (AIMessageChunk(content="lo ", id="ai-1"), {})),
+    ("messages", (AIMessageChunk(content="world!", id="ai-1"), {})),
+    ("values", {"messages": [HumanMessage(...), AIMessage(content="Hello world!", id="ai-1")]}),
+])
+# ...
+assert [e.data["content"] for e in ai_text_events] == ["Hel", "lo ", "world!"]
+assert len(ai_text_events) == 3  # values snapshot must NOT re-synthesize
+assert "messages" in agent.stream.call_args.kwargs["stream_mode"]
+```
+
+**为什么这比"抽一个共享常量"更有效**：共享常量只能保证"用它的人写对字符串"，但新增消费者的人可能根本不知道常量在哪。行为断言强制任何改动都要穿过**实际执行路径**，改回 `["values", "custom"]` 会立刻让 `assert "messages" in ...` 失败。
+
+### 活体信号：BPE 子词边界
+
+回归的最终验证是让真实 LLM 数 1-15，然后看是否能在输出里看到 tokenizer 的子词切分：
+
+```
+[5.460s] 'ele' / 'ven'      eleven 被拆成两个 token
+[5.508s] 'tw'  / 'elve'     twelve 拆两个
+[5.568s] 'th'  / 'irteen'   thirteen 拆两个
+[5.623s] 'four'/ 'teen'     fourteen 拆两个
+[5.677s] 'f'   / 'if' / 'teen'  fifteen 拆三个
+```
+
+子词切分是 tokenizer 的外部事实，**无法伪造**。能看到它就说明数据流**逐 chunk** 地穿过了整条管道，没有被任何中间层缓冲成整段。这种"活体信号"在流式系统里是比单元测试更高置信度的证据。

+# [RFC] 在 DeerFlow 中增加 `grep` 与 `glob` 文件搜索工具
+
+## Summary
+
+我认为这个方向是对的，而且值得做。
+
+如果 DeerFlow 想更接近 Claude Code 这类 coding agent 的实际工作流，仅有 `ls` / `read_file` / `write_file` / `str_replace` 还不够。模型在进入修改前，通常还需要两类能力：
+
+- `glob`: 快速按路径模式找文件
+- `grep`: 快速按内容模式找候选位置
+
+这两类工具的价值，不是“功能上 bash 也能做”，而是它们能以更低 token 成本、更强约束、更稳定的输出格式，替代模型频繁走 `bash find` / `bash grep` / `rg` 的习惯。
+
+但前提是实现方式要对：**它们应该是只读、结构化、受限、可审计的原生工具，而不是对 shell 命令的简单包装。**
+
+## Problem
+
+当前 DeerFlow 的文件工具层主要覆盖：
+
+- `ls`: 浏览目录结构
+- `read_file`: 读取文件内容
+- `write_file`: 写文件
+- `str_replace`: 做局部字符串替换
+- `bash`: 兜底执行命令
+
+这套能力能完成任务，但在代码库探索阶段效率不高。
+
+典型问题：
+
+1. 模型想找 “所有 `*.tsx` 的 page 文件” 时，只能反复 `ls` 多层目录，或者退回 `bash find`
+2. 模型想找 “某个 symbol / 文案 / 配置键在哪里出现” 时，只能逐文件 `read_file`，或者退回 `bash grep` / `rg`
+3. 一旦退回 `bash`，工具调用就失去结构化输出，结果也更难做裁剪、分页、审计和跨 sandbox 一致化
+4. 对没有开启 host bash 的本地模式，`bash` 甚至可能不可用，此时缺少足够强的只读检索能力
+
+结论：DeerFlow 现在缺的不是“再多一个 shell 命令”，而是**文件系统检索层**。
+
+## Goals
+
+- 为 agent 提供稳定的路径搜索和内容搜索能力
+- 减少对 `bash` 的依赖，特别是在仓库探索阶段
+- 保持与现有 sandbox 安全模型一致
+- 输出格式结构化，便于模型后续串联 `read_file` / `str_replace`
+- 让本地 sandbox、容器 sandbox、未来 MCP 文件系统工具都能遵守同一语义
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+- 不做通用 shell 兼容层
+- 不暴露完整 grep/find/rg CLI 语法
+- 不在第一版支持二进制检索、复杂 PCRE 特性、上下文窗口高亮渲染等重功能
+- 不把它做成“任意磁盘搜索”，仍然只允许在 DeerFlow 已授权的路径内执行
+
+## Why This Is Worth Doing
+
+参考 Claude Code 这一类 agent 的设计思路，`glob` 和 `grep` 的核心价值不是新能力本身，而是把“探索代码库”的常见动作从开放式 shell 降到受控工具层。
+
+这样有几个直接收益：
+
+1. **更低的模型负担**
+   模型不需要自己拼 `find`, `grep`, `rg`, `xargs`, quoting 等命令细节。
+
+2. **更稳定的跨环境行为**
+   本地、Docker、AIO sandbox 不必依赖容器里是否装了 `rg`，也不会因为 shell 差异导致行为漂移。
+
+3. **更强的安全与审计**
+   调用参数就是“搜索什么、在哪搜、最多返回多少”，天然比任意命令更容易审计和限流。
+
+4. **更好的 token 效率**
+   `grep` 返回的是命中摘要而不是整段文件，模型只对少数候选路径再调用 `read_file`。
+
+5. **对 `tool_search` 友好**
+   当 DeerFlow 持续扩展工具集时，`grep` / `glob` 会成为非常高频的基础工具，值得保留为 built-in，而不是让模型总是退回通用 bash。
+
+## Proposal
+
+增加两个 built-in sandbox tools：
+
+- `glob`
+- `grep`
+
+推荐继续放在：
+
+- `backend/packages/harness/deerflow/sandbox/tools.py`
+
+并在 `config.example.yaml` 中默认加入 `file:read` 组。
+
+### 1. `glob` 工具
+
+用途：按路径模式查找文件或目录。
+
+建议 schema：
+
+```python
+@tool("glob", parse_docstring=True)
+def glob_tool(
+    runtime: ToolRuntime[ContextT, ThreadState],
+    description: str,
+    pattern: str,
+    path: str,
+    include_dirs: bool = False,
+    max_results: int = 200,
+) -> str:
+    ...
+```
+
+参数语义：
+
+- `description`: 与现有工具保持一致
+- `pattern`: glob 模式，例如 `**/*.py`、`src/**/test_*.ts`
+- `path`: 搜索根目录，必须是绝对路径
+- `include_dirs`: 是否返回目录
+- `max_results`: 最大返回条数，防止一次性打爆上下文
+
+建议返回格式：
+
+```text
+Found 3 paths under /mnt/user-data/workspace
+1. /mnt/user-data/workspace/backend/app.py
+2. /mnt/user-data/workspace/backend/tests/test_app.py
+3. /mnt/user-data/workspace/scripts/build.py
+```
+
+如果后续想更适合前端消费，也可以改成 JSON 字符串；但第一版为了兼容现有工具风格，返回可读文本即可。
+
+### 2. `grep` 工具
+
+用途：按内容模式搜索文件，返回命中位置摘要。
+
+建议 schema：
+
+```python
+@tool("grep", parse_docstring=True)
+def grep_tool(
+    runtime: ToolRuntime[ContextT, ThreadState],
+    description: str,
+    pattern: str,
+    path: str,
+    glob: str | None = None,
+    literal: bool = False,
+    case_sensitive: bool = False,
+    max_results: int = 100,
+) -> str:
+    ...
+```
+
+参数语义：
+
+- `pattern`: 搜索词或正则
+- `path`: 搜索根目录，必须是绝对路径
+- `glob`: 可选路径过滤，例如 `**/*.py`
+- `literal`: 为 `True` 时按普通字符串匹配，不解释为正则
+- `case_sensitive`: 是否大小写敏感
+- `max_results`: 最大返回命中数，不是文件数
+
+建议返回格式：
+
+```text
+Found 4 matches under /mnt/user-data/workspace
+/mnt/user-data/workspace/backend/config.py:12: TOOL_GROUPS = [...]
+/mnt/user-data/workspace/backend/config.py:48: def load_tool_config(...):
+/mnt/user-data/workspace/backend/tools.py:91: "tool_groups"
+/mnt/user-data/workspace/backend/tests/test_config.py:22: assert "tool_groups" in data
+```
+
+第一版建议只返回：
+
+- 文件路径
+- 行号
+- 命中行摘要
+
+不返回上下文块，避免结果过大。模型如果需要上下文，再调用 `read_file(path, start_line, end_line)`。
+
+## Design Principles
+
+### A. 不做 shell wrapper
+
+不建议把 `grep` 实现为：
+
+```python
+subprocess.run("grep ...")
+```
+
+也不建议在容器里直接拼 `find` / `rg` 命令。
+
+原因：
+
+- 会引入 shell quoting 和注入面
+- 会依赖不同 sandbox 内镜像是否安装同一套命令
+- Windows / macOS / Linux 行为不一致
+- 很难稳定控制输出条数与格式
+
+正确方向是：
+
+- `glob` 使用 Python 标准库路径遍历
+- `grep` 使用 Python 逐文件扫描
+- 输出由 DeerFlow 自己格式化
+
+如果未来为了性能考虑要优先调用 `rg`，也应该封装在 provider 内部，并保证外部语义不变，而不是把 CLI 暴露给模型。
+
+### B. 继续沿用 DeerFlow 的路径权限模型
+
+这两个工具必须复用当前 `ls` / `read_file` 的路径校验逻辑：
+
+- 本地模式走 `validate_local_tool_path(..., read_only=True)`
+- 支持 `/mnt/skills/...`
+- 支持 `/mnt/acp-workspace/...`
+- 支持 thread workspace / uploads / outputs 的虚拟路径解析
+- 明确拒绝越权路径与 path traversal
+
+也就是说，它们属于 **file:read**，不是 `bash` 的替代越权入口。
+
+### C. 结果必须硬限制
+
+没有硬限制的 `glob` / `grep` 很容易炸上下文。
+
+建议第一版至少限制：
+
+- `glob.max_results` 默认 200，最大 1000
+- `grep.max_results` 默认 100，最大 500
+- 单行摘要最大长度，例如 200 字符
+- 二进制文件跳过
+- 超大文件跳过，例如单文件大于 1 MB 或按配置控制
+
+此外，命中数超过阈值时应返回：
+
+- 已展示的条数
+- 被截断的事实
+- 建议用户缩小搜索范围
+
+例如：
+
+```text
+Found more than 100 matches, showing first 100. Narrow the path or add a glob filter.
+```
+
+### D. 工具语义要彼此互补
+
+推荐模型工作流应该是：
+
+1. `glob` 找候选文件
+2. `grep` 找候选位置
+3. `read_file` 读局部上下文
+4. `str_replace` / `write_file` 执行修改
+
+这样工具边界清晰，也更利于 prompt 中教模型形成稳定习惯。
+
+## Implementation Approach
+
+## Option A: 直接在 `sandbox/tools.py` 实现第一版
+
+这是我推荐的起步方案。
+
+做法：
+
+- 在 `sandbox/tools.py` 新增 `glob_tool` 与 `grep_tool`
+- 在 local sandbox 场景直接使用 Python 文件系统 API
+- 在非 local sandbox 场景，优先也通过 DeerFlow 自己控制的路径访问层实现
+
+优点：
+
+- 改动小
+- 能尽快验证 agent 效果
+- 不需要先改 `Sandbox` 抽象
+
+缺点：
+
+- `tools.py` 会继续变胖
+- 如果未来想在 provider 侧做性能优化，需要再抽象一次
+
+## Option B: 先扩展 `Sandbox` 抽象
+
+例如新增：
+
+```python
+class Sandbox(ABC):
+    def glob(self, path: str, pattern: str, include_dirs: bool = False, max_results: int = 200) -> list[str]:
+        ...
+
+    def grep(
+        self,
+        path: str,
+        pattern: str,
+        *,
+        glob: str | None = None,
+        literal: bool = False,
+        case_sensitive: bool = False,
+        max_results: int = 100,
+    ) -> list[GrepMatch]:
+        ...
+```
+
+优点：
+
+- 抽象更干净
+- 容器 / 远程 sandbox 可以各自优化
+
+缺点：
+
+- 首次引入成本更高
+- 需要同步改所有 sandbox provider
+
+结论：
+
+**第一版建议走 Option A，等工具价值验证后再下沉到 `Sandbox` 抽象层。**
+
+## Detailed Behavior
+
+### `glob` 行为
+
+- 输入根目录不存在：返回清晰错误
+- 根路径不是目录：返回清晰错误
+- 模式非法：返回清晰错误
+- 结果为空：返回 `No files matched`
+- 默认忽略项应尽量与当前 `list_dir` 对齐，例如：
+  - `.git`
+  - `node_modules`
+  - `__pycache__`
+  - `.venv`
+  - 构建产物目录
+
+这里建议抽一个共享 ignore 集，避免 `ls` 与 `glob` 结果风格不一致。
+
+### `grep` 行为
+
+- 默认只扫描文本文件
+- 检测到二进制文件直接跳过
+- 对超大文件直接跳过或只扫前 N KB
+- regex 编译失败时返回参数错误
+- 输出中的路径继续使用虚拟路径，而不是暴露宿主真实路径
+- 建议默认按文件路径、行号排序，保持稳定输出
+
+## Prompting Guidance
+
+如果引入这两个工具，建议同步更新系统提示中的文件操作建议：
+
+- 查找文件名模式时优先用 `glob`
+- 查找代码符号、配置项、文案时优先用 `grep`
+- 只有在工具不足以完成目标时才退回 `bash`
+
+否则模型仍会习惯性先调用 `bash`。
+
+## Risks
+
+### 1. 与 `bash` 能力重叠
+
+这是事实，但不是问题。
+
+`ls` 和 `read_file` 也都能被 `bash` 替代，但我们仍然保留它们，因为结构化工具更适合 agent。
+
+### 2. 性能问题
+
+在大仓库上，纯 Python `grep` 可能比 `rg` 慢。
+
+缓解方式：
+
+- 第一版先加结果上限和文件大小上限
+- 路径上强制要求 root path
+- 提供 `glob` 过滤缩小扫描范围
+- 后续如有必要，在 provider 内部做 `rg` 优化，但保持同一 schema
+
+### 3. 忽略规则不一致
+
+如果 `ls` 能看到的路径，`glob` 却看不到，模型会困惑。
+
+缓解方式：
+
+- 统一 ignore 规则
+- 在文档里明确“默认跳过常见依赖和构建目录”
+
+### 4. 正则搜索过于复杂
+
+如果第一版就支持大量 grep 方言，边界会很乱。
+
+缓解方式：
+
+- 第一版只支持 Python `re`
+- 并提供 `literal=True` 的简单模式
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### A. 不增加工具，完全依赖 `bash`
+
+不推荐。
+
+这会让 DeerFlow 在代码探索体验上持续落后，也削弱无 bash 或受限 bash 场景下的能力。
+
+### B. 只加 `glob`，不加 `grep`
+
+不推荐。
+
+只解决“找文件”，没有解决“找位置”。模型最终还是会退回 `bash grep`。
+
+### C. 只加 `grep`，不加 `glob`
+
+也不推荐。
+
+`grep` 缺少路径模式过滤时，扫描范围经常太大；`glob` 是它的天然前置工具。
+
+### D. 直接接入 MCP filesystem server 的搜索能力
+
+短期不推荐作为主路径。
+
+MCP 可以是补充，但 `glob` / `grep` 作为 DeerFlow 的基础 coding tool，最好仍然是 built-in，这样才能在默认安装中稳定可用。
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- `config.example.yaml` 中可默认启用 `glob` 与 `grep`
+- 两个工具归属 `file:read` 组
+- 本地 sandbox 下严格遵守现有路径权限
+- 输出不泄露宿主机真实路径
+- 大结果集会被截断并明确提示
+- 模型可以通过 `glob -> grep -> read_file -> str_replace` 完成典型改码流
+- 在禁用 host bash 的本地模式下，仓库探索能力明显提升
+
+## Rollout Plan
+
+1. 在 `sandbox/tools.py` 中实现 `glob_tool` 与 `grep_tool`
+2. 抽取与 `list_dir` 一致的 ignore 规则，避免行为漂移
+3. 在 `config.example.yaml` 默认加入工具配置
+4. 为本地路径校验、虚拟路径映射、结果截断、二进制跳过补测试
+5. 更新 README / backend docs / prompt guidance
+6. 收集实际 agent 调用数据，再决定是否下沉到 `Sandbox` 抽象
+
+## Suggested Config
+
+```yaml
+tools:
+  - name: glob
+    group: file:read
+    use: deerflow.sandbox.tools:glob_tool
+
+  - name: grep
+    group: file:read
+    use: deerflow.sandbox.tools:grep_tool
+```
+
+## Final Recommendation
+
+结论是：**可以加，而且应该加。**
+
+但我会明确卡三个边界：
+
+1. `grep` / `glob` 必须是 built-in 的只读结构化工具
+2. 第一版不要做 shell wrapper，不要把 CLI 方言直接暴露给模型
+3. 先在 `sandbox/tools.py` 验证价值，再考虑是否下沉到 `Sandbox` provider 抽象
+
+如果按这个方向做，它会明显提升 DeerFlow 在 coding / repo exploration 场景下的可用性，而且风险可控。

+- Use category "correction" for explicit agent mistakes or user corrections; assign confidence >= 0.95 when the correction is explicit
+- Include "sourceError" only for explicit correction facts when the prior mistake or wrong approach is clearly stated; omit it otherwise
 - Remove facts that are contradicted by new information
 - When updating topOfMind, integrate new focus areas while removing completed/abandoned ones

         consumers can switch between HTTP streaming and embedded mode
         without changing their event-handling logic.
 
+        Token-level streaming
+        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+        This method subscribes to LangGraph's ``messages`` stream mode, so
+        ``messages-tuple`` events for AI text are emitted as **deltas** as
+        the model generates tokens, not as one cumulative dump at node
+        completion.  Each delta carries a stable ``id`` — consumers that
+        want the full text must accumulate ``content`` per ``id``.
+        ``chat()`` already does this for you.
+
+        Tool calls and tool results are still emitted once per logical
+        message.  ``values`` events continue to carry full state snapshots
+        after each graph node finishes; AI text already delivered via the
+        ``messages`` stream is **not** re-synthesized from the snapshot to
+        avoid duplicate deliveries.
+
+        Why not reuse Gateway's ``run_agent``?
+        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+        Gateway (``runtime/runs/worker.py``) has a complete streaming
+        pipeline: ``run_agent`` → ``StreamBridge`` → ``sse_consumer``.  It
+        looks like this client duplicates that work, but the two paths
+        serve different audiences and **cannot** share execution:
+
+        * ``run_agent`` is ``async def`` and uses ``agent.astream()``;
+          this method is a sync generator using ``agent.stream()`` so
+          callers can write ``for event in client.stream(...)`` without
+          touching asyncio.  Bridging the two would require spinning up
+          an event loop + thread per call.
+        * Gateway events are JSON-serialized by ``serialize()`` for SSE
+          wire transmission.  This client yields in-process stream event
+          payloads directly as Python data structures (``StreamEvent``
+          with ``data`` as a plain ``dict``), without the extra
+          JSON/SSE serialization layer used for HTTP delivery.
+        * ``StreamBridge`` is an asyncio-queue decoupling producers from
+          consumers across an HTTP boundary (``Last-Event-ID`` replay,
+          heartbeats, multi-subscriber fan-out).  A single in-process
+          caller with a direct iterator needs none of that.
+
+        So ``DeerFlowClient.stream()`` is a parallel, sync, in-process
+        consumer of the same ``create_agent()`` factory — not a wrapper
+        around Gateway.  The two paths **should** stay in sync on which
+        LangGraph stream modes they subscribe to; that invariant is
+        enforced by ``tests/test_client.py::test_messages_mode_emits_token_deltas``
+        rather than by a shared constant, because the three layers
+        (Graph, Platform SDK, HTTP) each use their own naming
+        (``messages`` vs ``messages-tuple``) and cannot literally share
+        a string.
