Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/rayhpeng/persistence-scaffold' into rayhpeng/persistence-scaffold

Following the rename/delete bug fix in PR1, migrate the remaining direct
LangGraph Store reads/writes in the threads router and services to the
ThreadMetaStore abstraction so that the sqlite and memory backends behave
identically and the legacy dual-write paths can be removed.

Migrated endpoints (threads.py):
- create_thread: idempotency check + write now use thread_meta_repo.get/create
  instead of dual-writing the LangGraph Store and the SQL row.
- get_thread: reads from thread_meta_repo.get; the checkpoint-only fallback
  for legacy threads is preserved.
- patch_thread: replaced _store_get/_store_put with thread_meta_repo.update_metadata.
- delete_thread_data: dropped the legacy store.adelete; thread_meta_repo.delete
  already covers it.

Removed dead code (services.py):
- _upsert_thread_in_store — redundant with the immediately following
  thread_meta_repo.create() call.
- _sync_thread_title_after_run — worker.py's finally block already syncs
  the title via thread_meta_repo.update_display_name() after each run.

Removed dead code (threads.py):
- _store_get / _store_put / _store_upsert helpers (no remaining callers).
- THREADS_NS constant.
- get_store import (router no longer touches the LangGraph Store directly).

New abstract method:
- ThreadMetaStore.update_metadata(thread_id, metadata) merges metadata into
  the thread's metadata field. Implemented in both ThreadMetaRepository (SQL,
  read-modify-write inside one session) and MemoryThreadMetaStore. Three new
  unit tests cover merge / empty / nonexistent behaviour.

Net change: -134 lines. Full test suite: 1693 passed, 14 skipped.
Verified end-to-end with curl in gateway mode against sqlite backend
(create / patch / get / rename / search / delete).

-# 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
-

-# 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.
-

 ### 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 owns `/api/langgraph/*` and translates those public LangGraph-compatible paths to its native `/api/*` routers behind nginx.
+> **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.

This lets it stay sharp across long, multi-step tasks without blowing the context window.

 DeerFlow is a LangGraph-based AI super agent system with a full-stack architecture. The backend provides a "super agent" with sandbox execution, persistent memory, subagent delegation, and extensible tool integration - all operating in per-thread isolated environments.
 
 **Architecture**:
-- **Gateway API** (port 8001): REST API plus embedded LangGraph-compatible agent runtime
+- **LangGraph Server** (port 2024): Agent runtime and workflow execution
+- **Gateway API** (port 8001): REST API for models, MCP, skills, memory, artifacts, uploads, and local thread cleanup
 - **Frontend** (port 3000): Next.js web interface
 - **Nginx** (port 2026): Unified reverse proxy entry point
 - **Provisioner** (port 8002, optional in Docker dev): Started only when sandbox is configured for provisioner/Kubernetes mode
 
-**Runtime**:
-- `make dev`, Docker dev, and production all run the agent runtime in Gateway via `RunManager` + `run_agent()` + `StreamBridge` (`packages/harness/deerflow/runtime/`). Nginx exposes that runtime at `/api/langgraph/*` and rewrites it to Gateway's native `/api/*` routers.
+**Runtime Modes**:
+- **Standard mode** (`make dev`): LangGraph Server handles agent execution as a separate process. 4 processes total.
+- **Gateway mode** (`make dev-pro`, experimental): Agent runtime embedded in Gateway via `RunManager` + `run_agent()` + `StreamBridge` (`packages/harness/deerflow/runtime/`). Service manages its own concurrency via async tasks. 3 processes total, no LangGraph Server.

-"""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

-# 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 后端拆分设计文档：Harness + App
+
+> 状态：Draft
+> 作者：DeerFlow Team
+> 日期：2026-03-13
+
+## 1. 背景与动机
+
+DeerFlow 后端当前是一个单一 Python 包（`src.*`），包含了从底层 agent 编排到上层用户产品的所有代码。随着项目发展，这种结构带来了几个问题：
+
+- **复用困难**：其他产品（CLI 工具、Slack bot、第三方集成）想用 agent 能力，必须依赖整个后端，包括 FastAPI、IM SDK 等不需要的依赖
+- **职责模糊**：agent 编排逻辑和用户产品逻辑混在同一个 `src/` 下，边界不清晰
+- **依赖膨胀**：LangGraph Server 运行时不需要 FastAPI/uvicorn/Slack SDK，但当前必须安装全部依赖
+
+本文档提出将后端拆分为两部分：**deerflow-harness**（可发布的 agent 框架包）和 **app**（不打包的用户产品代码）。
+
+## 2. 核心概念
+
+### 2.1 Harness（线束/框架层）
+
+Harness 是 agent 的构建与编排框架，回答 **"如何构建和运行 agent"** 的问题：
+
+- Agent 工厂与生命周期管理
+- Middleware pipeline
+- 工具系统（内置工具 + MCP + 社区工具）
+- 沙箱执行环境
+- 子 agent 委派
+- 记忆系统
+- 技能加载与注入
+- 模型工厂
+- 配置系统
+
+**Harness 是一个可发布的 Python 包**（`deerflow-harness`），可以独立安装和使用。
+
+**Harness 的设计原则**：对上层应用完全无感知。它不知道也不关心谁在调用它——可以是 Web App、CLI、Slack Bot、或者一个单元测试。
+
+### 2.2 App（应用层）
+
+App 是面向用户的产品代码，回答 **"如何将 agent 呈现给用户"** 的问题：
+
+- Gateway API（FastAPI REST 接口）
+- IM Channels（飞书、Slack、Telegram 集成）
+- Custom Agent 的 CRUD 管理
+- 文件上传/下载的 HTTP 接口
+
+**App 不打包、不发布**，它是 DeerFlow 项目内部的应用代码，直接运行。
+
+**App 依赖 Harness，但 Harness 不依赖 App。**
+
+### 2.3 边界划分
+
+| 模块 | 归属 | 说明 |
+|------|------|------|
+| `config/` | Harness | 配置系统是基础设施 |
+| `reflection/` | Harness | 动态模块加载工具 |
+| `utils/` | Harness | 通用工具函数 |
+| `agents/` | Harness | Agent 工厂、middleware、state、memory |
+| `subagents/` | Harness | 子 agent 委派系统 |
+| `sandbox/` | Harness | 沙箱执行环境 |
+| `tools/` | Harness | 工具注册与发现 |
+| `mcp/` | Harness | MCP 协议集成 |
+| `skills/` | Harness | 技能加载、解析、定义 schema |
+| `models/` | Harness | LLM 模型工厂 |
+| `community/` | Harness | 社区工具（tavily、jina 等） |
+| `client.py` | Harness | 嵌入式 Python 客户端 |
+| `gateway/` | App | FastAPI REST API |
+| `channels/` | App | IM 平台集成 |
+
+**关于 Custom Agents**：agent 定义格式（`config.yaml` + `SOUL.md` schema）由 Harness 层的 `config/agents_config.py` 定义，但文件的存储、CRUD、发现机制由 App 层的 `gateway/routers/agents.py` 负责。

+### 3.2 Import 规则
+
+两个层使用不同的 import 前缀，职责边界一目了然：
+
+```python
+# ---------------------------------------------------------------
+# Harness 内部互相引用（deerflow.* 前缀）
+# ---------------------------------------------------------------
+from deerflow.agents import make_lead_agent
+from deerflow.models import create_chat_model
+from deerflow.config import get_app_config
+from deerflow.tools import get_available_tools
+
+# ---------------------------------------------------------------
+# App 内部互相引用（app.* 前缀）
+# ---------------------------------------------------------------
+from app.gateway.app import app
+from app.gateway.routers.uploads import upload_files
+from app.channels.service import start_channel_service
+
+# ---------------------------------------------------------------
+# App 调用 Harness（单向依赖，Harness 永远不 import app）
+# ---------------------------------------------------------------
+from deerflow.agents import make_lead_agent
+from deerflow.models import create_chat_model
+from deerflow.skills import load_skills
+from deerflow.config.extensions_config import get_extensions_config
+```
+
+**App 调用 Harness 示例 — Gateway 中启动 agent**：
+
+```python
+# app/gateway/routers/chat.py
+from deerflow.agents.lead_agent.agent import make_lead_agent
+from deerflow.models import create_chat_model
+from deerflow.config import get_app_config
+
+async def create_chat_session(thread_id: str, model_name: str):
+    config = get_app_config()
+    model = create_chat_model(name=model_name)
+    agent = make_lead_agent(config=...)
+    # ... 使用 agent 处理用户消息
+```
+
+**App 调用 Harness 示例 — Channel 中查询 skills**：
+
+```python
+# app/channels/manager.py
+from deerflow.skills import load_skills
+from deerflow.agents.memory.updater import get_memory_data
+
+def handle_status_command():
+    skills = load_skills(enabled_only=True)
+    memory = get_memory_data()
+    return f"Skills: {len(skills)}, Memory facts: {len(memory.get('facts', []))}"
+```
+
+**禁止方向**：Harness 代码中绝不能出现 `from app.` 或 `import app.`。
+
+### 3.3 为什么 App 不打包
+
+| 方面 | 打包（放 packages/ 下） | 不打包（放 backend/app/） |
+|------|------------------------|--------------------------|
+| 命名空间 | 需要 pkgutil `extend_path` 合并，或独立前缀 | 天然独立，`app.*` vs `deerflow.*` |
+| 发布需求 | 没有——App 是项目内部代码 | 不需要 pyproject.toml |
+| 复杂度 | 需要管理两个包的构建、版本、依赖声明 | 直接运行，零额外配置 |
+| 运行方式 | `pip install deerflow-app` | `PYTHONPATH=. uvicorn app.gateway.app:app` |
+
+App 的唯一消费者是 DeerFlow 项目自身，没有独立发布的需求。放在 `backend/app/` 下作为普通 Python 包，通过 `PYTHONPATH` 或 editable install 让 Python 找到即可。
+
+### 3.4 依赖关系
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  app/  (不打包，直接运行)             │
+│  ├── fastapi, uvicorn               │
+│  ├── slack-sdk, lark-oapi, ...      │
+│  └── import deerflow.*              │
+└──────────────┬──────────────────────┘
+               │
+               ▼
+┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  deerflow-harness  (可发布的包)       │
+│  ├── langgraph, langchain           │
+│  ├── markitdown, pydantic, ...      │
+│  └── 零 app 依赖                     │
+└─────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**依赖分类**：
+
+| 分类 | 依赖包 |
+|------|--------|
+| Harness only | agent-sandbox, langchain*, langgraph*, markdownify, markitdown, pydantic, pyyaml, readabilipy, tavily-python, firecrawl-py, tiktoken, ddgs, duckdb, httpx, kubernetes, dotenv |
+| App only | fastapi, uvicorn, sse-starlette, python-multipart, lark-oapi, slack-sdk, python-telegram-bot, markdown-to-mrkdwn |
+| Shared | langgraph-sdk（channels 用 HTTP client）, pydantic, httpx |
+
+### 3.5 Workspace 配置
+
+`backend/pyproject.toml`（workspace root）：
+
+```toml
+[project]
+name = "deer-flow"
+version = "0.1.0"
+requires-python = ">=3.12"
+dependencies = ["deerflow-harness"]
+
+[dependency-groups]
+dev = ["pytest>=8.0.0", "ruff>=0.14.11"]
+# App 的额外依赖（fastapi 等）也声明在 workspace root，因为 app 不打包
+app = ["fastapi", "uvicorn", "sse-starlette", "python-multipart"]
+channels = ["lark-oapi", "slack-sdk", "python-telegram-bot"]
+
+[tool.uv.workspace]
+members = ["packages/harness"]
+
+[tool.uv.sources]
+deerflow-harness = { workspace = true }
+```
+
+## 4. 当前的跨层依赖问题
+
+在拆分之前，需要先解决 `client.py` 中两处从 harness 到 app 的反向依赖：
+
+### 4.1 `_validate_skill_frontmatter`
+
+```python
+# client.py — harness 导入了 app 层代码
+from src.gateway.routers.skills import _validate_skill_frontmatter
+```
+
+**解决方案**：将该函数提取到 `deerflow/skills/validation.py`。这是一个纯逻辑函数（解析 YAML frontmatter、校验字段），与 FastAPI 无关。
+
+### 4.2 `CONVERTIBLE_EXTENSIONS` + `convert_file_to_markdown`
+
+```python
+# client.py — harness 导入了 app 层代码
+from src.gateway.routers.uploads import CONVERTIBLE_EXTENSIONS, convert_file_to_markdown
+```
+
+**解决方案**：将它们提取到 `deerflow/utils/file_conversion.py`。仅依赖 `markitdown` + `pathlib`，是通用工具函数。
+
+## 5. 基础设施变更
+
+### 5.1 LangGraph Server
+
+LangGraph Server 只需要 harness 包。`langgraph.json` 更新：
+
+```json
+{
+  "dependencies": ["./packages/harness"],
+  "graphs": {
+    "lead_agent": "deerflow.agents:make_lead_agent"
+  },
+  "checkpointer": {
+    "path": "./packages/harness/deerflow/agents/checkpointer/async_provider.py:make_checkpointer"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 5.2 Gateway API
+
+```bash
+# serve.sh / Makefile
+# PYTHONPATH 包含 backend/ 根目录，使 app.* 和 deerflow.* 都能被找到
+PYTHONPATH=. uvicorn app.gateway.app:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8001
+```
+
+### 5.3 Nginx
+
+无需变更（只做 URL 路由，不涉及 Python 模块路径）。
+
+### 5.4 Docker
+
+Dockerfile 中的 module 引用从 `src.` 改为 `deerflow.` / `app.`，`COPY` 命令需覆盖 `packages/` 和 `app/` 目录。
+
+## 6. 实施计划
+
+分 3 个 PR 递进执行：
+
+### PR 1：提取共享工具函数（Low Risk）
+
+1. 创建 `src/skills/validation.py`，从 `gateway/routers/skills.py` 提取 `_validate_skill_frontmatter`
+2. 创建 `src/utils/file_conversion.py`，从 `gateway/routers/uploads.py` 提取文件转换逻辑
+3. 更新 `client.py`、`gateway/routers/skills.py`、`gateway/routers/uploads.py` 的 import
+4. 运行全部测试确认无回归
+
+### PR 2：Rename + 物理拆分（High Risk，原子操作）
+
+1. 创建 `packages/harness/` 目录，创建 `pyproject.toml`
+2. `git mv` 将 harness 相关模块从 `src/` 移入 `packages/harness/deerflow/`
+3. `git mv` 将 app 相关模块从 `src/` 移入 `app/`
+4. 全局替换 import：
+   - harness 模块：`src.*` → `deerflow.*`（所有 `.py` 文件、`langgraph.json`、测试、文档）
+   - app 模块：`src.gateway.*` → `app.gateway.*`、`src.channels.*` → `app.channels.*`
+5. 更新 workspace root `pyproject.toml`
+6. 更新 `langgraph.json`、`Makefile`、`Dockerfile`
+7. `uv sync` + 全部测试 + 手动验证服务启动
+
+### PR 3：边界检查 + 文档（Low Risk）
+
+1. 添加 lint 规则：检查 harness 不 import app 模块
+2. 更新 `CLAUDE.md`、`README.md`
+
+## 7. 风险与缓解
+
+| 风险 | 影响 | 缓解措施 |
+|------|------|----------|
+| 全局 rename 误伤 | 字符串中的 `src` 被错误替换 | 正则精确匹配 `\bsrc\.`，review diff |
+| LangGraph Server 找不到模块 | 服务启动失败 | `langgraph.json` 的 `dependencies` 指向正确的 harness 包路径 |
+| App 的 `PYTHONPATH` 缺失 | Gateway/Channel 启动 import 报错 | Makefile/Docker 统一设置 `PYTHONPATH=.` |
+| `config.yaml` 中的 `use` 字段引用旧路径 | 运行时模块解析失败 | `config.yaml` 中的 `use` 字段同步更新为 `deerflow.*` |
+| 测试中 `sys.path` 混乱 | 测试失败 | 用 editable install（`uv sync`）确保 deerflow 可导入，`conftest.py` 中添加 `app/` 到 `sys.path` |
+
+## 8. 未来演进
+
+- **独立发布**：harness 可以发布到内部 PyPI，让其他项目直接 `pip install deerflow-harness`
+- **插件化 App**：不同的 app（web、CLI、bot）可以各自独立，都依赖同一个 harness
+- **更细粒度拆分**：如果 harness 内部模块继续增长，可以进一步拆分（如 `deerflow-sandbox`、`deerflow-mcp`）

-## Custom Tool Interceptors
-
-You can register custom interceptors that run before every MCP tool call. This is useful for injecting per-request headers (e.g., user auth tokens from the LangGraph execution context), logging, or metrics.
-
-Declare interceptors in `extensions_config.json` using the `mcpInterceptors` field:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpInterceptors": [
-    "my_package.mcp.auth:build_auth_interceptor"
-  ],
-  "mcpServers": { ... }
-}
-```
-
-Each entry is a Python import path in `module:variable` format (resolved via `resolve_variable`). The variable must be a **no-arg builder function** that returns an async interceptor compatible with `MultiServerMCPClient`’s `tool_interceptors` interface, or `None` to skip.
-
-Example interceptor that injects auth headers from LangGraph metadata:
-
-```python
-def build_auth_interceptor():
-    async def interceptor(request, handler):
-        from langgraph.config import get_config
-        metadata = get_config().get("metadata", {})
-        headers = dict(request.headers or {})
-        if token := metadata.get("auth_token"):
-            headers["X-Auth-Token"] = token
-        return await handler(request.override(headers=headers))
-    return interceptor
-```
-
-- A single string value is accepted and normalized to a one-element list.
-- Invalid paths or builder failures are logged as warnings without blocking other interceptors.
-- The builder return value must be `callable`; non-callable values are skipped with a warning.
-
 ## How It Works
 
 MCP servers expose tools that are automatically discovered and integrated into DeerFlow’s agent system at runtime. Once enabled, these tools become available to agents without additional code 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：

-
-| 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：

-```

-
-- **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
-```
-
-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。

-
-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。
