refactor(config): eliminate global mutable state, wire DeerFlowContext into runtime

- Freeze all config models (AppConfig + 15 sub-configs) with frozen=True
- Purify from_file() — remove 9 load_*_from_dict() side-effect calls
- Replace mtime/reload/push/pop machinery with single ContextVar + init_app_config()
- Delete 10 sub-module globals and their getters/setters/loaders
- Migrate 50+ consumers from get_*_config() to get_app_config().xxx

- Expand DeerFlowContext: app_config + thread_id + agent_name (frozen dataclass)
- Wire into Gateway runtime (worker.py) and DeerFlowClient via context= parameter
- Remove sandbox_id from runtime.context — flows through ThreadState.sandbox only
- Middleware/tools access runtime.context directly via Runtime[DeerFlowContext] generic
- resolve_context() retained at server entry points for LangGraph Server fallback

 **Config Versioning**: `config.example.yaml` has a `config_version` field. On startup, `AppConfig.from_file()` compares user version vs example version and emits a warning if outdated. Missing `config_version` = version 0. Run `make config-upgrade` to auto-merge missing fields. When changing the config schema, bump `config_version` in `config.example.yaml`.
 
-**Config Caching**: `get_app_config()` caches the parsed config, but automatically reloads it when the resolved config path changes or the file's mtime increases. This keeps Gateway and LangGraph reads aligned with `config.yaml` edits without requiring a manual process restart.
+**Config Lifecycle**: All config models are `frozen=True` (immutable after construction). `AppConfig.from_file()` is a pure function — no side effects on sub-module globals. `get_app_config()` is backed by a single `ContextVar`, set once via `init_app_config()` at process startup. To update config at runtime (e.g., Gateway API updates MCP/Skills), construct a new `AppConfig.from_file()` and call `init_app_config()` again. No mtime detection, no auto-reload.
+
+**DeerFlowContext**: Per-invocation typed context for the agent execution path, injected via LangGraph `Runtime[DeerFlowContext]`. Holds `app_config: AppConfig`, `thread_id: str`, `agent_name: str | None`. Gateway runtime and `DeerFlowClient` construct full `DeerFlowContext` at invoke time; LangGraph Server path uses a fallback via `resolve_context()`. Middleware and tools access context through `resolve_context(runtime)` which returns a typed `DeerFlowContext` regardless of entry point. Mutable runtime state (`sandbox_id`) flows through `ThreadState.sandbox`, not context.

-"""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 |
