fix(mcp): persist MCP sessions across tool calls for stateful servers (#3089)

* fix(mcp): persist MCP sessions across tool calls for stateful servers

  MCP tools loaded via langchain-mcp-adapters created a new session on
  every call, causing stateful servers like Playwright to lose browser
  state (pages, forms) between consecutive tool invocations within the
  same thread.

  Add MCPSessionPool that maintains persistent sessions scoped by
  (server_name, thread_id). Tool calls within the same thread now reuse
  the same MCP session, preserving server-side state. Sessions are evicted
  in LRU order (max 256) and cleaned up on cache invalidation.

  Fixes #3054

* fix(sandbox): add group/other read permissions to uploaded files for Docker sandbox (#3127)

  When using AIO sandbox with LocalContainerBackend, uploaded files are
  created with 0o600 (owner-only) permissions by the gateway process
  running as root. The sandbox process inside the Docker container runs
  as a non-root user and cannot read these bind-mounted files, causing
  a "Permission denied" error on read_file.

  Add `needs_upload_permission_adjustment` attribute to SandboxProvider
  (default True) to indicate that uploaded files need chmod adjustment.
  LocalSandboxProvider opts out (same user). A new `_make_file_sandbox_readable`
  function adds S_IRGRP | S_IROTH bits after files are written, changing
  permissions from 0o600 to 0o644 so the sandbox can read the uploads.

* fix(mcp): address review comments on session pool and tools

- _extract_thread_id: return "default" instead of stringifying None
  when get_config() returns no thread_id
- call_with_persistent_session: fix **arguments annotation from
  dict[str,Any] to Any
- Replace private _convert_call_tool_result import with a local
  implementation that handles all MCP content block types
- _make_session_pool_tool: accept tool_interceptors and apply the
  configured interceptor chain on every call (preserving OAuth and
  custom interceptors)
- MCPSessionPool: replace asyncio.Lock with threading.Lock; restructure
  get/close methods to never await while holding the lock; add
  close_all_sync() that closes sessions on their owning event loops
- reset_mcp_tools_cache: use pool.close_all_sync() instead of
  asyncio.run-in-thread to close sessions deterministically
- test: add test_session_pool_tool_sync_wrapper_path_is_safe covering
  tool invocation via the sync wrapper (tool.func) path

+**Provider Pattern**: `SandboxProvider` with `acquire`, `acquire_async`, `get`, `release` lifecycle. Async agent/tool paths call async sandbox lifecycle hooks so Docker sandbox creation, discovery, cross-process locking, readiness polling, and release stay off the event loop.
 **Implementations**:
-- `LocalSandboxProvider` - Singleton local filesystem execution with path mappings
+- `LocalSandboxProvider` - Local filesystem execution. `acquire(thread_id)` returns a per-thread `LocalSandbox` (id `local:{thread_id}`) whose `path_mappings` resolve `/mnt/user-data/{workspace,uploads,outputs}` and `/mnt/acp-workspace` to that thread's host directories, so the public `Sandbox` API honours the `/mnt/user-data` contract uniformly with AIO. `acquire()` / `acquire(None)` keeps the legacy generic singleton (id `local`) for callers without a thread context. Per-thread sandboxes are held in an LRU cache (default 256 entries) guarded by a `threading.Lock`.
 - `AioSandboxProvider` (`packages/harness/deerflow/community/`) - Docker-based isolation
 
 **Virtual Path System**:
 - Agent sees: `/mnt/user-data/{workspace,uploads,outputs}`, `/mnt/skills`
 - Physical: `backend/.deer-flow/users/{user_id}/threads/{thread_id}/user-data/...`, `deer-flow/skills/`
-- Translation: `replace_virtual_path()` / `replace_virtual_paths_in_command()`
-- Detection: `is_local_sandbox()` checks `sandbox_id == "local"`
+- Translation: `LocalSandboxProvider` builds per-thread `PathMapping`s for the user-data prefixes at acquire time; `tools.py` keeps `replace_virtual_path()` / `replace_virtual_paths_in_command()` as a defense-in-depth layer (and for path validation). AIO has the directories volume-mounted at the same virtual paths inside its container, so both implementations accept `/mnt/user-data/...` natively.
+- Detection: `is_local_sandbox()` accepts both `sandbox_id == "local"` (legacy / no-thread) and `sandbox_id.startswith("local:")` (per-thread)

+### Tracing System (`packages/harness/deerflow/tracing/`)
+
+LangSmith and Langfuse are both supported. The wiring lives in two layers:
+
+- `factory.py::build_tracing_callbacks()` — returns the LangChain `CallbackHandler` list for the providers currently enabled via env vars (`LANGSMITH_TRACING`, `LANGFUSE_TRACING`, etc.). The handlers are attached at the **graph invocation root** for in-graph runs (`make_lead_agent` and `DeerFlowClient.stream` both append them to `config["callbacks"]` before invoking the graph) so a single run produces one trace with all node / LLM / tool calls as child spans. Standalone callers — anything that invokes a model outside such a graph (e.g. `MemoryUpdater`) — keep `create_chat_model`'s default `attach_tracing=True`, which falls back to model-level callback attachment.
+- `metadata.py::build_langfuse_trace_metadata()` — builds the Langfuse-reserved trace attributes for `RunnableConfig.metadata`. The Langfuse v4 `langchain.CallbackHandler` lifts these onto the root trace (see its `_parse_langfuse_trace_attributes`), but only when it sees `on_chain_start(parent_run_id=None)` — which is why the callbacks have to live at the graph root, not the model.
+
+**Trace-attribute injection points**: both `runtime/runs/worker.py::run_agent` (gateway path) and `client.py::DeerFlowClient.stream` (embedded path) merge the metadata into `config["metadata"]` right before constructing the graph. Caller-supplied keys win via `setdefault`, so an external `session_id` override is preserved. Field mapping:
+
+| Langfuse field         | Source                                       |
+|-----------------------|----------------------------------------------|
+| `langfuse_session_id` | LangGraph `thread_id`                         |
+| `langfuse_user_id`    | `get_effective_user_id()` (`default` in no-auth) |
+| `langfuse_trace_name` | `RunRecord.assistant_id` / client `agent_name` (defaults to `lead-agent`) |
+| `langfuse_tags`       | `env:<DEER_FLOW_ENV>` + `model:<model_name>`  |
+
+Returns `{}` when Langfuse is not in the enabled providers — LangSmith-only deployments are unaffected. Set `DEER_FLOW_ENV` (or `ENVIRONMENT`) to tag traces by deployment environment. Tests live in `tests/test_tracing_factory.py`, `tests/test_tracing_metadata.py`, `tests/test_worker_langfuse_metadata.py`, and `tests/test_client_langfuse_metadata.py`.

 ## 关键设计点
 
 ### ClarificationMiddleware 为什么在列表最后？
 
-位置最后 = `after_model` 最先执行。它需要**第一个**看到 model 输出，检查是否有 `ask_clarification` tool call。如果有，立即中断（`Command(goto=END)`），后续 middleware 的 `after_model` 不再执行。
+位置最后使它在工具调用包装链中优先拦截 `ask_clarification`。如果命中，它返回 `Command(goto=END)`，把格式化后的澄清问题写成 `ToolMessage` 并中断执行。
 
 ### SandboxMiddleware 的对称性
 
 `before_agent`（正序第 3 个）获取沙箱，`after_agent`（反序第 1 个）释放沙箱。外层进入 → 外层退出，天然的洋葱对称。
 
-### 大部分 middleware 只用一个钩子
+### LoopDetectionMiddleware 为什么同时用多个钩子？
 
-14 个 middleware 中，只有 SandboxMiddleware 同时用了 `before_agent` + `after_agent`（获取/释放）。其余都只在一个阶段执行。洋葱模型的反序特性主要影响 `after_model` 阶段的执行顺序。
+`after_model` 只做检测：重复工具调用达到 warning 阈值时，把 warning 放入 `(thread_id, run_id)` 作用域的 pending 队列。真正注入发生在下一次 `wrap_model_call`：此时上一轮 `AIMessage(tool_calls)` 对应的 `ToolMessage` 已经在请求里，warning 追加在末尾，不会破坏 OpenAI/Moonshot 的 tool-call pairing。`before_agent` 清理同一 thread 下旧 run 的残留 warning，`after_agent` 清理当前 run 没被消费的 warning。

+INVARIANT — tracing callback placement
+======================================
+
+Tracing callbacks (Langfuse, LangSmith) are attached at the **graph
+invocation root** in :func:`_make_lead_agent` (see the
+``build_tracing_callbacks()`` block that appends to ``config["callbacks"]``).
+Every ``create_chat_model(...)`` call inside this module — and inside any
+middleware reachable from this graph (e.g. ``TitleMiddleware``) — MUST pass
+``attach_tracing=False``.
+
+Forgetting that flag emits duplicate spans (one rooted at the graph, one at
+the model) AND prevents the Langfuse handler's ``propagate_attributes``
+path from firing, so ``session_id`` / ``user_id`` never reach the trace.
+The four current sites are: bootstrap agent, default agent, summarization
+middleware, and the async path inside ``TitleMiddleware``. Any new in-graph
+``create_chat_model`` call must add to this list and pass the flag.

 Detection strategy:
   1. After each model response, hash the tool calls (name + args).
   2. Track recent hashes in a sliding window.
-  3. If the same hash appears >= warn_threshold times, inject a
-     "you are repeating yourself — wrap up" system message (once per hash).
+  3. If the same hash appears >= warn_threshold times, queue a
+     "you are repeating yourself — wrap up" warning for the current
+     thread/run. The warning is **injected at the next model call** (in
+     ``wrap_model_call``) as a ``HumanMessage`` appended to the message
+     list, *after* all ToolMessage responses to the previous
+     AIMessage(tool_calls).
   4. If it appears >= hard_limit times, strip all tool_calls from the
      response so the agent is forced to produce a final text answer.
+
+Why the warning is injected at ``wrap_model_call`` instead of
+``after_model``:
+
+  ``after_model`` fires immediately after the model emits an
+  ``AIMessage`` that may carry ``tool_calls``. The tools node has not
+  run yet, so no matching ``ToolMessage`` exists in the history. Any
+  message we add here lands *between* the assistant's tool_calls and
+  their responses. OpenAI/Moonshot reject the next request with
+  ``"tool_call_ids did not have response messages"`` because their
+  validators require the assistant's tool_calls to be followed
+  immediately by tool messages. Anthropic also disallows mid-stream
+  ``SystemMessage``. By deferring the warning to ``wrap_model_call``,
+  every prior ToolMessage is already present in the request's message
+  list and the warning is appended at the end — pairing intact, no
+  ``AIMessage`` semantics are mutated.
+
+Queued warnings are intentionally transient. If a run ends before the
+next model request drains a queued warning, ``after_agent`` drops it
+instead of carrying it into a later invocation for the same thread. The
+hard-stop path still forces termination when the configured safety limit
+is reached.

 class LocalSandboxProvider(SandboxProvider):
+    """Local-filesystem sandbox provider with per-thread path scoping.
+
+    Earlier revisions of this provider returned a single process-wide
+    ``LocalSandbox`` keyed by the literal id ``"local"``. That singleton could
+    not honour the documented ``/mnt/user-data/...`` contract at the public
+    ``Sandbox`` API boundary because the corresponding host directory is
+    per-thread (``{base_dir}/users/{user_id}/threads/{thread_id}/user-data/``).
+
+    The provider now produces a fresh ``LocalSandbox`` per ``thread_id`` whose
+    ``path_mappings`` include thread-scoped entries for
+    ``/mnt/user-data/{workspace,uploads,outputs}`` and ``/mnt/acp-workspace``,
+    mirroring how :class:`AioSandboxProvider` bind-mounts those paths into its
+    docker container. The legacy ``acquire()`` / ``acquire(None)`` call still
+    returns a generic singleton with id ``"local"`` for callers (and tests)
+    that do not have a thread context.
+
+    Thread-safety: ``acquire``, ``get`` and ``reset`` may be invoked from
+    multiple threads (Gateway tool dispatch, subagent worker pools, the
+    background memory updater, …) so all cache state changes are serialised
+    through a provider-wide :class:`threading.Lock`. This matches the pattern
+    used by :class:`AioSandboxProvider`.
+
+    Memory bound: ``_thread_sandboxes`` is an LRU cache capped at
+    ``max_cached_threads`` (default :data:`DEFAULT_MAX_CACHED_THREAD_SANDBOXES`).
+    When the cap is exceeded the least-recently-used entry is evicted on the
+    next ``acquire``; the evicted thread's next ``acquire`` rebuilds a fresh
+    sandbox (losing only its ``_agent_written_paths`` reverse-resolve hint,
+    which gracefully degrades read_file output).

+"""Regression tests for gateway config freshness on the request hot path.
+
+Bytedance/deer-flow issue #3107 BUG-001: the worker and lead-agent path
+captured ``app.state.config`` at gateway startup. ``config.yaml`` edits during
+runtime were therefore ignored — ``get_app_config()``'s mtime-based reload
+existed but was bypassed because the snapshot object was passed through
+explicitly.
+
+These tests pin the desired behaviour: a request-time ``get_config`` call must
+observe the most recent on-disk ``config.yaml`` (mtime reload), and the
+runtime ``ContextVar`` override must keep working for per-request injection.

+"""Issue #2873 regression — the public Sandbox API must honor the documented
+/mnt/user-data contract uniformly across implementations.
+
+Today AIO sandbox already accepts /mnt/user-data/... paths directly because the
+container has those paths bind-mounted per-thread. LocalSandbox, however,
+externalises that translation to ``deerflow.sandbox.tools`` via ``thread_data``,
+so any caller that bypasses tools.py (e.g. ``uploads.py`` syncing files into a
+remote sandbox via ``sandbox.update_file(virtual_path, ...)``) sees inconsistent
+behaviour.
+
+These tests pin down the **public Sandbox API boundary**: when a caller obtains
+a ``LocalSandbox`` from ``LocalSandboxProvider.acquire(thread_id)`` and invokes
+its abstract methods with documented virtual paths, those paths must resolve to
+the thread's user-data directory automatically — no tools.py / thread_data
+shim required.
