fix(harness)!: hydrate runs from RunStore and persist interrupted status (#2932)

* fix(harness): hydrate run history from RunStore and persist cancellation status

fix:
- Make RunManager.get() async and hydrate from RunStore when in-memory record is missing
- Merge store rows into list_by_thread() with in-memory precedence for active runs
- Persist interrupted status to RunStore in cancel() and create_or_reject(interrupt|rollback)
- Extract _persist_status() to reuse the best-effort store update pattern
- Await run_mgr.get() in all gateway endpoints
- Return 409 with distinct message for store-only runs not active on current worker

Closes #2812, Closes #2813

* fix(harness): consistent sort and guarded hydration in RunManager

fix:
- list_by_thread() now sorts by created_at desc (newest first) even when
  no RunStore is configured, matching the store-backed code path
- guard _record_from_store() call sites in get() and list_by_thread()
  with best-effort error handling so a single malformed store row cannot
  turn read paths into 500s

test:
- update test_list_by_thread assertion to expect newest-first order
- seed MemoryRunStore via public put() API instead of writing to _runs

* fix(harness): guard store-only runs from streaming and fix get() TOCTOU

Add RunRecord.store_only flag set by _record_from_store so callers can
distinguish hydrated history from live in-memory runs.  join_run and
stream_existing_run (action=None) now return 409 instead of hanging
forever on an empty MemoryStreamBridge channel.

Re-check _runs under lock after the store await in RunManager.get() so a
concurrent create() that lands between the two checks returns the
authoritative in-memory record rather than a stale store-hydrated copy.

* fix(harness): reorder bridge fetch in join_run and make list_by_thread limit explicit

Move get_stream_bridge() after the store_only guard in join_run so a
missing bridge cannot produce 503 for historical runs before the 409
guard fires.

Add limit parameter to RunManager.list_by_thread (default 100, matching
the store's page size) and pass it explicitly to the store call.
Update docstring to document the limit instead of claiming all runs are
returned.

* fix(harness): cap list_by_thread result to limit after merge

Apply [:limit] to all return paths in list_by_thread so the method
consistently returns at most limit records regardless of how many
in-memory runs exist, making the limit parameter a true upper bound
on the response size rather than just a store-query hint.

* fix(runtime): add update_model_name to RunStore to prevent SQL integrity errors

RunManager.update_model_name() was calling _persist_to_store() which uses
RunStore.put(), but RunRepository.put() is insert-only. This caused integrity
errors when updating model_name for existing runs in SQL-backed stores.

fix:
- Add abstract update_model_name method to RunStore base class
- Implement update_model_name in MemoryRunStore
- Implement update_model_name in RunRepository with proper normalization
- Add _persist_model_name helper in RunManager
- Update RunManager.update_model_name to use the new method

test:
- Add tests for update_model_name functionality
- Add integration tests for RunManager with SQL-backed store

* fix(runtime): handle NULL status/on_disconnect in _record_from_store

`dict.get(key, default)` only uses the default when the key is absent,
so a SQL row with an explicit NULL status would pass `None` to
`RunStatus(None)` and raise, breaking hydration for otherwise valid rows.
Switch to `row.get(...) or fallback` so both missing and NULL values
get a safe default. Add tests for get() and list_by_thread() with a
NULL status row to prevent regression.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(runs): address PR review feedback on store consistency changes

- Fix list_by_thread limit semantics: pass store_limit = max(0, limit - len(memory_records)) to store so newer store records are not crowded out by in-memory records
- Remove dead code: cancelled guard after raise is always True, simplify to if wait and record.task
- Document _record_from_store NULL fallback policy (status→pending, on_disconnect→cancel) in docstring

+The lead agent can spawn sub-agents on the fly — each with its own scoped context, tools, and termination conditions. Sub-agents run in parallel when possible, report back structured results, and the lead agent synthesizes everything into a coherent output. When token usage tracking is enabled, completed sub-agent usage is attributed back to the dispatching step.
 
 This is how DeerFlow handles tasks that take minutes to hours: a research task might fan out into a dozen sub-agents, each exploring a different angle, then converge into a single report — or a website — or a slide deck with generated visuals. One harness, many hands.

+- When a persistent `RunStore` is configured, `get()` and `list_by_thread()` hydrate historical runs from the store. In-memory records win for the same `run_id` so task, abort, and stream-control state stays attached to active local runs.
+- `cancel()` and `create_or_reject(..., multitask_strategy="interrupt"|"rollback")` persist interrupted status through `RunStore.update_status()`, matching normal `set_status()` transitions.
+- Store-only hydrated runs are readable history. If the current worker has no in-memory task/control state for that run, cancellation APIs can return 409 because this worker cannot stop the task.

 **Interface**: Abstract `Sandbox` with `execute_command`, `read_file`, `write_file`, `list_dir`
 **Provider Pattern**: `SandboxProvider` with `acquire`, `get`, `release` lifecycle
 **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)
 
 **Sandbox Tools** (in `packages/harness/deerflow/sandbox/tools.py`):
 - `bash` - Execute commands with path translation and error handling

+    not honour the documented ``/mnt/user-data/...`` contract at the public
+    ``Sandbox`` API boundary because the corresponding host directory is

+    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

+    ``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

+"""Real-LLM end-to-end verification for issue #2884.
+
+Drives a real ``langchain.agents.create_agent`` graph against a real OpenAI-
+compatible LLM (one-api gateway), bound through ``DeferredToolFilterMiddleware``
+and the production ``get_available_tools`` pipeline. The only thing we mock is
+the MCP tool source — we hand-roll two ``@tool``s and inject them through
+``deerflow.mcp.cache.get_cached_mcp_tools``.
+
+The flow exercised:
+  1. Turn 1: agent sees ``tool_search`` (plus a ``fake_subagent_trigger``
+     that re-enters ``get_available_tools`` on the same task — this is the
+     code path issue #2884 reports). It must call ``tool_search`` to
+     discover the deferred ``fake_calculator`` tool.
+  2. Tool batch: ``tool_search`` promotes ``fake_calculator``;
+     ``fake_subagent_trigger`` re-enters ``get_available_tools``.
+  3. Turn 2: the promoted ``fake_calculator`` schema must reach the model
+     so it can actually call it. Without this PR's fix, the re-entry wipes
+     the promotion and the model can no longer invoke the tool.
+
+Skipped unless ``ONEAPI_E2E=1`` is set so this doesn't burn credits on every
+test run. Run with::

+"""Reproduce + regression-guard issue #2884.
+
+Hypothesis from the issue:
+  ``tools.tools.get_available_tools`` unconditionally calls
+  ``reset_deferred_registry()`` and constructs a fresh ``DeferredToolRegistry``
+  every time it is invoked. If anything calls ``get_available_tools`` again
+  during the same async context (after the agent has promoted tools via
+  ``tool_search``), the promotion is wiped and the next model call hides the
+  tool's schema again.
+
+These tests pin two things:
+
+A. **At the unit boundary** — verify the failure mode directly. Promote a
+   tool in the registry, then call ``get_available_tools`` again and observe
+   that the ContextVar registry is reset and the promotion is lost.
+
+B. **At the graph-execution boundary** — drive a real ``create_agent`` graph
+   with the real ``DeferredToolFilterMiddleware`` through two model turns.
+   The first turn calls ``tool_search`` which promotes a tool. The second
+   turn must see that tool's schema in ``request.tools``. If
+   ``get_available_tools`` were to run again between the two turns and reset
+   the registry, the second turn's filter would strip the tool.
+
+Strategy: use the production ``deerflow.tools.tools.get_available_tools``
+unmodified; mock only the LLM and the MCP tool source. Patch
+``deerflow.mcp.cache.get_cached_mcp_tools`` (the symbol that
+``get_available_tools`` resolves via lazy import) to return our fixture
+tools so we don't need a real MCP server.

+"""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.

+### PVC User-Data Upgrade Note
+
+Older provisioner versions mounted PVC user-data from `threads/{thread_id}/user-data`. The user-scoped layout mounts from `deer-flow/users/{user_id}/threads/{thread_id}/user-data`.
+
+If an existing deployment already has PVC-backed user-data under the legacy layout, migrate the DeerFlow data directory before relying on the new PVC subPath. Mount the same PVC path that the gateway uses as its DeerFlow base directory, then run the existing user-isolation migration script:
+
+```bash
+cd backend
+PYTHONPATH=. python scripts/migrate_user_isolation.py --dry-run
+PYTHONPATH=. python scripts/migrate_user_isolation.py --user-id <target-user-id>
+```
+
+This moves legacy `threads/{thread_id}/user-data` data under `users/<target-user-id>/threads/{thread_id}/user-data`, which matches the new provisioner PVC subPath when the gateway base directory is mounted at `deer-flow/` on the PVC. Use `default` as the target user only when the legacy data should remain in the default no-auth user namespace. Run the migration while no gateway or sandbox Pods are writing to those paths.
+
 ### Important: K8S_API_SERVER Override
 
 If your kubeconfig uses `localhost`, `127.0.0.1`, or `0.0.0.0` as the API server address (common with OrbStack, minikube, kind), the provisioner **cannot** reach it from inside the Docker container.
