+
+# 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
+
+## Success Criteria

+```
+
+**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**:

+   ```
+
+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

+   ```bash
+   cd frontend
+   rm -rf node_modules .next
+   pnpm install
+   ```
+
+4. Restart services:
+   ```bash
+   make stop
+   make dev-daemon
+   ```
+
+---
+
+### Issue: Gateway Fails to Start

+# 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.
+

+
+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.

+#### Recommended host resources
+
+Use these as practical starting points for development and review environments:
+
+| 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.

 #### Linux: Docker daemon permission denied

 If `make docker-init`, `make docker-start`, or `make docker-stop` fails on Linux with an error like below, your current user likely does not have permission to access the Docker daemon socket:

   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`).

   To route OpenAI models through `/v1/responses`, keep using `langchain_openai:ChatOpenAI` and set `use_responses_api: true` with `output_version: responses/v1`.

+   For vLLM 0.19.0, use `deerflow.models.vllm_provider:VllmChatModel`. 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

+# Two-step (build once, start with any mode)

+| 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。

 **Architecture**: Imports the same `deerflow` modules that LangGraph Server and Gateway API use. Shares the same config files and data directories. No FastAPI dependency.

 **Agent Conversation** (replaces LangGraph Server):
- `chat(message, thread_id)` — synchronous, returns final text
- `stream(message, thread_id)` — yields `StreamEvent` aligned with LangGraph SSE protocol:
-  - `"values"` — full state snapshot (title, messages, artifacts)
-  - `"messages-tuple"` — per-message update (AI text, tool calls, tool results)
-  - `"end"` — stream finished
+- `chat(message, thread_id)` — synchronous, accumulates streaming deltas per message-id and returns the final AI text
+- `stream(message, thread_id)` — subscribes to LangGraph `stream_mode=["values", "messages", "custom"]` and yields `StreamEvent`:
+  - `"values"` — full state snapshot (title, messages, artifacts); AI text already delivered via `messages` mode is **not** re-synthesized here to avoid duplicate deliveries
+  - `"messages-tuple"` — per-chunk update: for AI text this is a **delta** (concat per `id` to rebuild the full message); tool calls and tool results are emitted once each
+  - `"custom"` — forwarded from `StreamWriter`
+  - `"end"` — stream finished (carries cumulative `usage` counted once per message id)
 - Agent created lazily via `create_agent()` + `_build_middlewares()`, same as `make_lead_agent`
 - Supports `checkpointer` parameter for state persistence across turns
 - `reset_agent()` forces agent recreation (e.g. after memory or skill changes)

+# 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

+    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。

+            SSE-->>Client: "event: <name>\ndata: <json>\n\n"
+        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
+        Agent-->>Client: (mode, chunk)
+        Client->>Client: 分发 mode<br/>构建 StreamEvent
+        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)

+    V->>SE: add(msg_id)
+    V->>SS: 查询 → 已存在，跳过文本合成

+- `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。

        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.
