refactor(prompt): remove unused skill functions and clean up code

* feat(auth): introduce backend auth module

Port RFC-001 authentication core from PR #1728:
- JWT token handling (create_access_token, decode_token, TokenPayload)
- Password hashing (bcrypt) with verify_password
- SQLite UserRepository with base interface
- Provider Factory pattern (LocalAuthProvider)
- CLI reset_admin tool
- Auth-specific errors (AuthErrorCode, TokenError, AuthErrorResponse)

Deps:
- bcrypt>=4.0.0
- pyjwt>=2.9.0
- email-validator>=2.0.0
- backend/uv.toml pins public PyPI index

Tests: 12 pure unit tests (test_auth_config.py, test_auth_errors.py).

Scope note: authz.py, test_auth.py, and test_auth_type_system.py are
deferred to commit 2 because they depend on middleware and deps wiring
that is not yet in place. Commit 1 stays "pure new files only" as the
spec mandates.

* feat(auth): wire auth end-to-end (middleware + frontend replacement)

Backend:
- Port auth_middleware, csrf_middleware, langgraph_auth, routers/auth
- Port authz decorator (owner_filter_key defaults to 'owner_id')
- Merge app.py: register AuthMiddleware + CSRFMiddleware + CORS, add
  _ensure_admin_user lifespan hook, _migrate_orphaned_threads helper,
  register auth router
- Merge deps.py: add get_local_provider, get_current_user_from_request,
  get_optional_user_from_request; keep get_current_user as thin str|None
  adapter for feedback router
- langgraph.json: add auth path pointing to langgraph_auth.py:auth
- Rename metadata['user_id'] -> metadata['owner_id'] in langgraph_auth
  (both metadata write and LangGraph filter dict) + test fixtures

Frontend:
- Delete better-auth library and api catch-all route
- Remove better-auth npm dependency and env vars (BETTER_AUTH_SECRET,
  BETTER_AUTH_GITHUB_*) from env.js
- Port frontend/src/core/auth/* (AuthProvider, gateway-config,
  proxy-policy, server-side getServerSideUser, types)
- Port frontend/src/core/api/fetcher.ts
- Port (auth)/layout, (auth)/login, (auth)/setup pages
- Rewrite workspace/layout.tsx as server component that calls
  getServerSideUser and wraps in AuthProvider
- Port workspace/workspace-content.tsx for the client-side sidebar logic

Tests:
- Port 5 auth test files (test_auth, test_auth_middleware,
  test_auth_type_system, test_ensure_admin, test_langgraph_auth)
- 176 auth tests PASS

After this commit: login/logout/registration flow works, but persistence
layer does not yet filter by owner_id. Commit 4 closes that gap.

* feat(auth): account settings page + i18n

- Port account-settings-page.tsx (change password, change email, logout)
- Wire into settings-dialog.tsx as new "account" section with UserIcon,
  rendered first in the section list
- Add i18n keys:
  - en-US/zh-CN: settings.sections.account ("Account" / "账号")
  - en-US/zh-CN: button.logout ("Log out" / "退出登录")
  - types.ts: matching type declarations

* feat(auth): enforce owner_id across 2.0-rc persistence layer

Add request-scoped contextvar-based owner filtering to threads_meta,
runs, run_events, and feedback repositories. Router code is unchanged
— isolation is enforced at the storage layer so that any caller that
forgets to pass owner_id still gets filtered results, and new routes
cannot accidentally leak data.

Core infrastructure
-------------------
- deerflow/runtime/user_context.py (new):
  - ContextVar[CurrentUser | None] with default None
  - runtime_checkable CurrentUser Protocol (structural subtype with .id)
  - set/reset/get/require helpers
  - AUTO sentinel + resolve_owner_id(value, method_name) for sentinel
    three-state resolution: AUTO reads contextvar, explicit str
    overrides, explicit None bypasses the filter (for migration/CLI)

Repository changes
------------------
- ThreadMetaRepository: create/get/search/update_*/delete gain
  owner_id=AUTO kwarg; read paths filter by owner, writes stamp it,
  mutations check ownership before applying
- RunRepository: put/get/list_by_thread/delete gain owner_id=AUTO kwarg
- FeedbackRepository: create/get/list_by_run/list_by_thread/delete
  gain owner_id=AUTO kwarg
- DbRunEventStore: list_messages/list_events/list_messages_by_run/
  count_messages/delete_by_thread/delete_by_run gain owner_id=AUTO
  kwarg. Write paths (put/put_batch) read contextvar softly: when a
  request-scoped user is available, owner_id is stamped; background
  worker writes without a user context pass None which is valid
  (orphan row to be bound by migration)

Schema
------
- persistence/models/run_event.py: RunEventRow.owner_id = Mapped[
  str | None] = mapped_column(String(64), nullable=True, index=True)
- No alembic migration needed: 2.0 ships fresh, Base.metadata.create_all
  picks up the new column automatically

Middleware
----------
- auth_middleware.py: after cookie check, call get_optional_user_from_
  request to load the real User, stamp it into request.state.user AND
  the contextvar via set_current_user, reset in a try/finally. Public
  paths and unauthenticated requests continue without contextvar, and
  @require_auth handles the strict 401 path

Test infrastructure
-------------------
- tests/conftest.py: @pytest.fixture(autouse=True) _auto_user_context
  sets a default SimpleNamespace(id="test-user-autouse") on every test
  unless marked @pytest.mark.no_auto_user. Keeps existing 20+
  persistence tests passing without modification
- pyproject.toml [tool.pytest.ini_options]: register no_auto_user
  marker so pytest does not emit warnings for opt-out tests
- tests/test_user_context.py: 6 tests covering three-state semantics,
  Protocol duck typing, and require/optional APIs
- tests/test_thread_meta_repo.py: one test updated to pass owner_id=
  None explicitly where it was previously relying on the old default

Test results
------------
- test_user_context.py: 6 passed
- test_auth*.py + test_langgraph_auth.py + test_ensure_admin.py: 127
- test_run_event_store / test_run_repository / test_thread_meta_repo
  / test_feedback: 92 passed
- Full backend suite: 1905 passed, 2 failed (both @requires_llm flaky
  integration tests unrelated to auth), 1 skipped

* feat(auth): extend orphan migration to 2.0-rc persistence tables

_ensure_admin_user now runs a three-step pipeline on every boot:

  Step 1 (fatal):     admin user exists / is created / password is reset
  Step 2 (non-fatal): LangGraph store orphan threads → admin
  Step 3 (non-fatal): SQL persistence tables → admin
    - threads_meta
    - runs
    - run_events
    - feedback

Each step is idempotent. The fatal/non-fatal split mirrors PR #1728's
original philosophy: admin creation failure blocks startup (the system
is unusable without an admin), whereas migration failures log a warning
and let the service proceed (a partial migration is recoverable; a
missing admin is not).

Key helpers
-----------
- _iter_store_items(store, namespace, *, page_size=500):
  async generator that cursor-paginates across LangGraph store pages.
  Fixes PR #1728's hardcoded limit=1000 bug that would silently lose
  orphans beyond the first page.

- _migrate_orphaned_threads(store, admin_user_id):
  Rewritten to use _iter_store_items. Returns the migrated count so the
  caller can log it; raises only on unhandled exceptions.

- _migrate_orphan_sql_tables(admin_user_id):
  Imports the 4 ORM models lazily, grabs the shared session factory,
  runs one UPDATE per table in a single transaction, commits once.
  No-op when no persistence backend is configured (in-memory dev).

Tests: test_ensure_admin.py (8 passed)

* test(auth): port AUTH test plan docs + lint/format pass

- Port backend/docs/AUTH_TEST_PLAN.md and AUTH_UPGRADE.md from PR #1728
- Rename metadata.user_id → metadata.owner_id in AUTH_TEST_PLAN.md
  (4 occurrences from the original PR doc)
- ruff auto-fix UP037 in sentinel type annotations: drop quotes around
  "str | None | _AutoSentinel" now that from __future__ import
  annotations makes them implicit string forms
- ruff format: 2 files (app/gateway/app.py, runtime/user_context.py)

Note on test coverage additions:
- conftest.py autouse fixture was already added in commit 4 (had to
  be co-located with the repository changes to keep pre-existing
  persistence tests passing)
- cross-user isolation E2E tests (test_owner_isolation.py) deferred
  — enforcement is already proven by the 98-test repository suite
  via the autouse fixture + explicit _AUTO sentinel exercises
- New test cases (TC-API-17..20, TC-ATK-13, TC-MIG-01..07) listed
  in AUTH_TEST_PLAN.md are deferred to a follow-up PR — they are
  manual-QA test cases rather than pytest code, and the spec-level
  coverage is already met by test_user_context.py + the 98-test
  repository suite.

Final test results:
- Auth suite (test_auth*, test_langgraph_auth, test_ensure_admin,
  test_user_context): 186 passed
- Persistence suite (test_run_event_store, test_run_repository,
  test_thread_meta_repo, test_feedback): 98 passed
- Lint: ruff check + ruff format both clean

* test(auth): add cross-user isolation test suite

10 tests exercising the storage-layer owner filter by manually
switching the user_context contextvar between two users. Verifies
the safety invariant:

  After a repository write with owner_id=A, a subsequent read with
  owner_id=B must not return the row, and vice versa.

Covers all 4 tables that own user-scoped data:

TC-API-17  threads_meta  — read, search, update, delete cross-user
TC-API-18  runs          — get, list_by_thread, delete cross-user
TC-API-19  run_events    — list_messages, list_events, count_messages,
                           delete_by_thread (CRITICAL: raw conversation
                           content leak vector)
TC-API-20  feedback      — get, list_by_run, delete cross-user

Plus two meta-tests verifying the sentinel pattern itself:
- AUTO + unset contextvar raises RuntimeError
- explicit owner_id=None bypasses the filter (migration escape hatch)

Architecture note
-----------------
These tests bypass the HTTP layer by design. The full chain
(cookie → middleware → contextvar → repository) is covered piecewise:

- test_auth_middleware.py: middleware sets contextvar from cookies
- test_owner_isolation.py: repositories enforce isolation when
  contextvar is set to different users

Together they prove the end-to-end safety property without the
ceremony of spinning up a full TestClient + in-memory DB for every
router endpoint.

Tests pass: 231 (full auth + persistence + isolation suite)
Lint: clean

* refactor(auth): migrate user repository to SQLAlchemy ORM

Move the users table into the shared persistence engine so auth
matches the pattern of threads_meta, runs, run_events, and feedback —
one engine, one session factory, one schema init codepath.

New files
---------
- persistence/user/__init__.py, persistence/user/model.py: UserRow
  ORM class with partial unique index on (oauth_provider, oauth_id)
- Registered in persistence/models/__init__.py so
  Base.metadata.create_all() picks it up

Modified
--------
- auth/repositories/sqlite.py: rewritten as async SQLAlchemy,
  identical constructor pattern to the other four repositories
  (def __init__(self, session_factory) + self._sf = session_factory)
- auth/config.py: drop users_db_path field — storage is configured
  through config.database like every other table
- deps.py/get_local_provider: construct SQLiteUserRepository with
  the shared session factory, fail fast if engine is not initialised
- tests/test_auth.py: rewrite test_sqlite_round_trip_new_fields to
  use the shared engine (init_engine + close_engine in a tempdir)
- tests/test_auth_type_system.py: add per-test autouse fixture that
  spins up a scratch engine and resets deps._cached_* singletons

* refactor(auth): remove SQL orphan migration (unused in supported scenarios)

The _migrate_orphan_sql_tables helper existed to bind NULL owner_id
rows in threads_meta, runs, run_events, and feedback to the admin on
first boot. But in every supported upgrade path, it's a no-op:

  1. Fresh install: create_all builds fresh tables, no legacy rows
  2. No-auth → with-auth (no existing persistence DB): persistence
     tables are created fresh by create_all, no legacy rows
  3. No-auth → with-auth (has existing persistence DB from #1930):
     NOT a supported upgrade path — "有 DB 到有 DB" schema evolution
     is out of scope; users wipe DB or run manual ALTER

So the SQL orphan migration never has anything to do in the
supported matrix. Delete the function, simplify _ensure_admin_user
from a 3-step pipeline to a 2-step one (admin creation + LangGraph
store orphan migration only).

LangGraph store orphan migration stays: it serves the real
"no-auth → with-auth" upgrade path where a user's existing LangGraph
thread metadata has no owner_id field and needs to be stamped with
the newly-created admin's id.

Tests: 284 passed (auth + persistence + isolation)
Lint: clean

* security(auth): write initial admin password to 0600 file instead of logs

CodeQL py/clear-text-logging-sensitive-data flagged 3 call sites that
logged the auto-generated admin password to stdout via logger.info().
Production log aggregators (ELK/Splunk/etc) would have captured those
cleartext secrets. Replace with a shared helper that writes to
.deer-flow/admin_initial_credentials.txt with mode 0600, and log only
the path.

New file
--------
- app/gateway/auth/credential_file.py: write_initial_credentials()
  helper. Takes email, password, and a "initial"/"reset" label.
  Creates .deer-flow/ if missing, writes a header comment plus the
  email+password, chmods 0o600, returns the absolute Path.

Modified
--------
- app/gateway/app.py: both _ensure_admin_user paths (fresh creation
  + needs_setup password reset) now write to file and log the path
- app/gateway/auth/reset_admin.py: rewritten to use the shared ORM
  repo (SQLiteUserRepository with session_factory) and the
  credential_file helper. The previous implementation was broken
  after the earlier ORM refactor — it still imported _get_users_conn
  and constructed SQLiteUserRepository() without a session factory.

No tests changed — the three password-log sites are all exercised
via existing test_ensure_admin.py which checks that startup
succeeds, not that a specific string appears in logs.

CodeQL alerts 272, 283, 284: all resolved.

* security(auth): strict JWT validation in middleware (fix junk cookie bypass)

AUTH_TEST_PLAN test 7.5.8 expects junk cookies to be rejected with
401. The previous middleware behaviour was "presence-only": check
that some access_token cookie exists, then pass through. In
combination with my Task-12 decision to skip @require_auth
decorators on routes, this created a gap where a request with any
cookie-shaped string (e.g. access_token=not-a-jwt) would bypass
authentication on routes that do not touch the repository
(/api/models, /api/mcp/config, /api/memory, /api/skills, …).

Fix: middleware now calls get_current_user_from_request() strictly
and catches the resulting HTTPException to render a 401 with the
proper fine-grained error code (token_invalid, token_expired,
user_not_found, …). On success it stamps request.state.user and
the contextvar so repository-layer owner filters work downstream.

The 4 old "_with_cookie_passes" tests in test_auth_middleware.py
were written for the presence-only behaviour; they asserted that
a junk cookie would make the handler return 200. They are renamed
to "_with_junk_cookie_rejected" and their assertions flipped to
401. The negative path (no cookie → 401 not_authenticated)
is unchanged.

Verified:
  no cookie       → 401 not_authenticated
  junk cookie     → 401 token_invalid     (the fixed bug)
  expired cookie  → 401 token_expired

Tests: 284 passed (auth + persistence + isolation)
Lint: clean

* security(auth): wire @require_permission(owner_check=True) on isolation routes

Apply the require_permission decorator to all 28 routes that take a
{thread_id} path parameter. Combined with the strict middleware
(previous commit), this gives the double-layer protection that
AUTH_TEST_PLAN test 7.5.9 documents:

  Layer 1 (AuthMiddleware): cookie + JWT validation, rejects junk
                            cookies and stamps request.state.user
  Layer 2 (@require_permission with owner_check=True): per-resource
                            ownership verification via
                            ThreadMetaStore.check_access — returns
                            404 if a different user owns the thread

The decorator's owner_check branch is rewritten to use the SQL
thread_meta_repo (the 2.0-rc persistence layer) instead of the
LangGraph store path that PR #1728 used (_store_get / get_store
in routers/threads.py). The inject_record convenience is dropped
— no caller in 2.0 needs the LangGraph blob, and the SQL repo has
a different shape.

Routes decorated (28 total):
- threads.py: delete, patch, get, get-state, post-state, post-history
- thread_runs.py: post-runs, post-runs-stream, post-runs-wait,
  list_runs, get_run, cancel_run, join_run, stream_existing_run,
  list_thread_messages, list_run_messages, list_run_events,
  thread_token_usage
- feedback.py: create, list, stats, delete
- uploads.py: upload (added Request param), list, delete
- artifacts.py: get_artifact
- suggestions.py: generate (renamed body parameter to avoid
  conflict with FastAPI Request)

Test fixes:
- test_suggestions_router.py: bypass the decorator via __wrapped__
  (the unit tests cover parsing logic, not auth — no point spinning
  up a thread_meta_repo just to test JSON unwrapping)
- test_auth_middleware.py 4 fake-cookie tests: already updated in
  the previous commit (745bf432)

Tests: 293 passed (auth + persistence + isolation + suggestions)
Lint: clean

* security(auth): defense-in-depth fixes from release validation pass

Eight findings caught while running the AUTH_TEST_PLAN end-to-end against
the deployed sg_dev stack. Each is a pre-condition for shipping
release/2.0-rc that the previous PRs missed.

Backend hardening
- routers/auth.py: rate limiter X-Real-IP now requires AUTH_TRUSTED_PROXIES
  whitelist (CIDR/IP allowlist). Without nginx in front, the previous code
  honored arbitrary X-Real-IP, letting an attacker rotate the header to
  fully bypass the per-IP login lockout.
- routers/auth.py: 36-entry common-password blocklist via Pydantic
  field_validator on RegisterRequest + ChangePasswordRequest. The shared
  _validate_strong_password helper keeps the constraint in one place.
- routers/threads.py: ThreadCreateRequest + ThreadPatchRequest strip
  server-reserved metadata keys (owner_id, user_id) via Pydantic
  field_validator so a forged value can never round-trip back to other
  clients reading the same thread. The actual ownership invariant stays
  on the threads_meta row; this closes the metadata-blob echo gap.
- authz.py + thread_meta/sql.py: require_permission gains a require_existing
  flag plumbed through check_access(require_existing=True). Destructive
  routes (DELETE/PATCH/state-update/runs/feedback) now treat a missing
  thread_meta row as 404 instead of "untracked legacy thread, allow",
  closing the cross-user delete-idempotence gap where any user could
  successfully DELETE another user's deleted thread.
- repositories/sqlite.py + base.py: update_user raises UserNotFoundError
  on a vanished row instead of silently returning the input. Concurrent
  delete during password reset can no longer look like a successful update.
- runtime/user_context.py: resolve_owner_id() coerces User.id (UUID) to
  str at the contextvar boundary so SQLAlchemy String(64) columns can
  bind it. The whole 2.0-rc isolation pipeline was previously broken
  end-to-end (POST /api/threads → 500 "type 'UUID' is not supported").
- persistence/engine.py: SQLAlchemy listener enables PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL,
  synchronous=NORMAL, foreign_keys=ON on every new SQLite connection.
  TC-UPG-06 in the test plan expects WAL; previous code shipped with the
  default 'delete' journal.
- auth_middleware.py: stamp request.state.auth = AuthContext(...) so
  @require_permission's short-circuit fires; previously every isolation
  request did a duplicate JWT decode + users SELECT. Also unifies the
  401 payload through AuthErrorResponse(...).model_dump().
- app.py: _ensure_admin_user restructure removes the noqa F821 scoping
  bug where 'password' was referenced outside the branch that defined it.
  New _announce_credentials helper absorbs the duplicate log block in
  the fresh-admin and reset-admin branches.

* fix(frontend+nginx): rollout CSRF on every state-changing client path

The frontend was 100% broken in gateway-pro mode for any user trying to
open a specific chat thread. Three cumulative bugs each silently
masked the next.

LangGraph SDK CSRF gap (api-client.ts)
- The Client constructor took only apiUrl, no defaultHeaders, no fetch
  interceptor. The SDK's internal fetch never sent X-CSRF-Token, so
  every state-changing /api/langgraph-compat/* call (runs/stream,
  threads/search, threads/{tid}/history, ...) hit CSRFMiddleware and
  got 403 before reaching the auth check. UI symptom: empty thread page
  with no error message; the SPA's hooks swallowed the rejection.
- Fix: pass an onRequest hook that injects X-CSRF-Token from the
  csrf_token cookie per request. Reading the cookie per call (not at
  construction time) handles login / logout / password-change cookie
  rotation transparently. The SDK's prepareFetchOptions calls
  onRequest for both regular requests AND streaming/SSE/reconnect, so
  the same hook covers runs.stream and runs.joinStream.

Raw fetch CSRF gap (7 files)
- Audit: 11 frontend fetch sites, only 2 included CSRF (login/setup +
  account-settings change-password). The other 7 routed through raw
  fetch() with no header — suggestions, memory, agents, mcp, skills,
  uploads, and the local thread cleanup hook all 403'd silently.
- Fix: enhance fetcher.ts:fetchWithAuth to auto-inject X-CSRF-Token on
  POST/PUT/DELETE/PATCH from a single shared readCsrfCookie() helper.
  Convert all 7 raw fetch() callers to fetchWithAuth so the contract
  is centrally enforced. api-client.ts and fetcher.ts share
  readCsrfCookie + STATE_CHANGING_METHODS to avoid drift.

nginx routing + buffering (nginx.local.conf)
- The auth feature shipped without updating the nginx config: per-API
  explicit location blocks but no /api/v1/auth/, /api/feedback, /api/runs.
  The frontend's client-side fetches to /api/v1/auth/login/local 404'd
  from the Next.js side because nginx routed /api/* to the frontend.
- Fix: add catch-all `location /api/` that proxies to the gateway.
  nginx longest-prefix matching keeps the explicit blocks (/api/models,
  /api/threads regex, /api/langgraph/, ...) winning for their paths.
- Fix: disable proxy_buffering + proxy_request_buffering for the
  frontend `location /` block. Without it, nginx tries to spool large
  Next.js chunks into /var/lib/nginx/proxy (root-owned) and fails with
  Permission denied → ERR_INCOMPLETE_CHUNKED_ENCODING → ChunkLoadError.

* test(auth): release-validation test infra and new coverage

Test fixtures and unit tests added during the validation pass.

Router test helpers (NEW: tests/_router_auth_helpers.py)
- make_authed_test_app(): builds a FastAPI test app with a stub
  middleware that stamps request.state.user + request.state.auth and a
  permissive thread_meta_repo mock. TestClient-based router tests
  (test_artifacts_router, test_threads_router) use it instead of bare
  FastAPI() so the new @require_permission(owner_check=True) decorators
  short-circuit cleanly.
- call_unwrapped(): walks the __wrapped__ chain to invoke the underlying
  handler without going through the authz wrappers. Direct-call tests
  (test_uploads_router) use it. Typed with ParamSpec so the wrapped
  signature flows through.

Backend test additions
- test_auth.py: 7 tests for the new _get_client_ip trust model (no
  proxy / trusted proxy / untrusted peer / XFF rejection / invalid
  CIDR / no client). 5 tests for the password blocklist (literal,
  case-insensitive, strong password accepted, change-password binding,
  short-password length-check still fires before blocklist).
  test_update_user_raises_when_row_concurrently_deleted: closes a
  shipped-without-coverage gap on the new UserNotFoundError contract.
- test_thread_meta_repo.py: 4 tests for check_access(require_existing=True)
  — strict missing-row denial, strict owner match, strict owner mismatch,
  strict null-owner still allowed (shared rows survive the tightening).
- test_ensure_admin.py: 3 tests for _migrate_orphaned_threads /
  _iter_store_items pagination, covering the TC-UPG-02 upgrade story
  end-to-end via mock store. Closes the gap where the cursor pagination
  was untested even though the previous PR rewrote it.
- test_threads_router.py: 5 tests for _strip_reserved_metadata
  (owner_id removal, user_id removal, safe-keys passthrough, empty
  input, both-stripped).
- test_auth_type_system.py: replace "password123" fixtures with
  Tr0ub4dor3a / AnotherStr0ngPwd! so the new password blocklist
  doesn't reject the test data.

* docs(auth): refresh TC-DOCKER-05 + document Docker validation gap

- AUTH_TEST_PLAN.md TC-DOCKER-05: the previous expectation
  ("admin password visible in docker logs") was stale after the simplify
  pass that moved credentials to a 0600 file. The grep "Password:" check
  would have silently failed and given a false sense of coverage. New
  expectation matches the actual file-based path: 0600 file in
  DEER_FLOW_HOME, log shows the path (not the secret), reverse-grep
  asserts no leaked password in container logs.
- NEW: docs/AUTH_TEST_DOCKER_GAP.md documents the only un-executed
  block in the test plan (TC-DOCKER-01..06). Reason: sg_dev validation
  host has no Docker daemon installed. The doc maps each Docker case
  to an already-validated bare-metal equivalent (TC-1.1, TC-REENT-01,
  TC-API-02 etc.) so the gap is auditable, and includes pre-flight
  reproduction steps for whoever has Docker available.

+DeerFlow supports multiple startup modes across two dimensions:

+- **Standard / Gateway** — standard uses a separate LangGraph server (4 processes); Gateway mode (experimental) embeds the agent runtime in the Gateway API (3 processes)

-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.

 **Summarization**: Within a session, DeerFlow manages context aggressively — summarizing completed sub-tasks, offloading intermediate results to the filesystem, compressing what's no longer immediately relevant. This lets it stay sharp across long, multi-step tasks without blowing the context window.
 
-**Strict Tool-Call Recovery**: When a provider or middleware interrupts a tool-call loop, DeerFlow now strips provider-level raw tool-call metadata on forced-stop assistant messages and injects placeholder tool results for dangling calls before the next model invocation. This keeps OpenAI-compatible reasoning models that strictly validate `tool_call_id` sequences from failing with malformed history errors.

-- `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.

 ## Authentication
 
-DeerFlow enforces authentication for all non-public HTTP routes. Public routes are limited to health/docs metadata and these public auth endpoints:
+Currently, DeerFlow does not implement authentication. All APIs are accessible without credentials.
 
-- `POST /api/v1/auth/initialize` creates the first admin account when no admin exists.
-- `POST /api/v1/auth/login/local` logs in with email/password and sets an HttpOnly `access_token` cookie.
-- `POST /api/v1/auth/register` creates a regular `user` account and sets the session cookie.
-- `POST /api/v1/auth/logout` clears the session cookie.
-- `GET /api/v1/auth/setup-status` reports whether the first admin still needs to be created.
+Note: This is about DeerFlow API authentication. MCP outbound connections can still use OAuth for configured HTTP/SSE MCP servers.
 
-The authenticated auth endpoints are:
-
-- `GET /api/v1/auth/me` returns the current user.
-- `POST /api/v1/auth/change-password` changes password, optionally changes email during setup, increments `token_version`, and reissues the cookie.
-
-Protected state-changing requests also require the CSRF double-submit token: send the `csrf_token` cookie value as the `X-CSRF-Token` header. Login/register/initialize/logout are bootstrap auth endpoints: they are exempt from the double-submit token but still reject hostile browser `Origin` headers.
-
-User isolation is enforced from the authenticated user context:
-
-- Thread metadata is scoped by `threads_meta.user_id`; search/read/write/delete APIs only expose the current user's threads.
-- Thread files live under `{base_dir}/users/{user_id}/threads/{thread_id}/user-data/` and are exposed inside the sandbox as `/mnt/user-data/`.
-- Memory and custom agents are stored under `{base_dir}/users/{user_id}/...`.
-
-Note: MCP outbound connections can still use OAuth for configured HTTP/SSE MCP servers; that is separate from DeerFlow API authentication.
+For production deployments, it is recommended to:
+1. Use Nginx for basic auth or OAuth integration
+2. Deploy behind a VPN or private network
+3. Implement custom authentication middleware

-# 用户认证与隔离设计
-
-本文档描述 DeerFlow 当前内置认证模块的设计，而不是历史 RFC。它覆盖浏览器登录、API 认证、CSRF、用户隔离、首次初始化、密码重置、内部调用和升级迁移。
-
-## 设计目标
-
-认证模块的核心目标是把 DeerFlow 从“本地单用户工具”提升为“可多用户部署的 agent runtime”，并让用户身份贯穿 HTTP API、LangGraph-compatible runtime、文件系统、memory、自定义 agent 和反馈数据。
-
-设计约束：
-
-- 默认强制认证：除健康检查、文档和 auth bootstrap 端点外，HTTP 路由都必须有有效 session。
-- 服务端持有所有权：客户端 metadata 不能声明 `user_id` 或 `owner_id`。
-- 隔离默认开启：repository（仓储）、文件路径、memory、agent 配置默认按当前用户解析。
-- 旧数据可升级：无认证版本留下的 thread 可以在 admin 存在后迁移到 admin。
-- 密码不进日志：首次初始化由操作者设置密码；`reset_admin` 只写 0600 凭据文件。
-
-非目标：
-
-- 当前 OAuth 端点只是占位，尚未实现第三方登录。
-- 当前用户角色只有 `admin` 和 `user`，尚未实现细粒度 RBAC。
-- 当前登录限速是进程内字典，多 worker 下不是全局精确限速。
-

-```
-
-### 用户表
-
-用户记录定义在 `app.gateway.auth.models.User`，持久化到 `users` 表。关键字段：
-
-| 字段 | 语义 |
-|---|---|
-| `id` | 用户主键，JWT `sub` 使用该值 |
-| `email` | 唯一登录名 |
-| `password_hash` | bcrypt hash，OAuth 用户可为空 |
-| `system_role` | `admin` 或 `user` |
-| `needs_setup` | reset 后要求用户完成邮箱 / 密码设置 |
-| `token_version` | 改密码或 reset 时递增，用于废弃旧 JWT |
-
-### 运行时身份
-
-认证成功后，`AuthMiddleware` 把用户同时写入：
-
-- `request.state.user`
-- `request.state.auth`
-- `deerflow.runtime.user_context` 的 `ContextVar`
-
-`ContextVar` 是这里的核心边界。上层 Gateway 负责写入身份，下层 persistence / file path 只读取结构化的当前用户，不反向依赖 `app.gateway.auth` 具体类型。
-
-可以把 repository 调用的用户参数理解成一个三态 ADT：
-
-```scala
-enum UserScope:
-  case AutoFromContext
-  case Explicit(userId: String)
-  case BypassForMigration
-```
-
-对应 Python 实现是 `AUTO | str | None`：
-
-- `AUTO`：从 `ContextVar` 解析当前用户；没有上下文则抛错。
-- `str`：显式指定用户，主要用于测试或管理脚本。
-- `None`：跳过用户过滤，只允许迁移脚本或 admin CLI 使用。
-
-## 登录与初始化流程
-
-### 首次初始化
-
-首次启动时，如果没有 admin，服务不会自动创建账号，只记录日志提示访问 `/setup`。
-
-流程：
-
-1. 用户访问 `/setup`。
-2. 前端调用 `GET /api/v1/auth/setup-status`。
-3. 如果返回 `{"needs_setup": true}`，前端展示创建 admin 表单。
-4. 表单提交 `POST /api/v1/auth/initialize`。
-5. 服务端确认当前没有 admin，创建 `system_role="admin"`、`needs_setup=false` 的用户。
-6. 服务端设置 `access_token` HttpOnly cookie，用户进入 workspace。
-
-`/api/v1/auth/initialize` 只在没有 admin 时可用。并发初始化由数据库唯一约束兜底，失败方返回 409。
-
-### 普通登录
-
-`POST /api/v1/auth/login/local` 使用 `OAuth2PasswordRequestForm`：
-
-- `username` 是邮箱。
-- `password` 是密码。
-- 成功后签发 JWT，放入 `access_token` HttpOnly cookie。
-- 响应体只返回 `expires_in` 和 `needs_setup`，不返回 token。
-
-登录失败会按客户端 IP 计数。IP 解析只在 TCP peer 属于 `AUTH_TRUSTED_PROXIES` 时信任 `X-Real-IP`，不使用 `X-Forwarded-For`。
-
-### 注册
-
-`POST /api/v1/auth/register` 创建普通 `user`，并自动登录。
-
-当前实现允许在没有 admin 时注册普通用户，但 `setup-status` 仍会返回 `needs_setup=true`，因为 admin 仍不存在。这是当前产品策略边界：如果后续要求“必须先初始化 admin 才能注册普通用户”，需要在 `/register` 增加 admin-exists gate。
-
-### 改密码与 reset setup
-
-`POST /api/v1/auth/change-password` 需要当前密码和新密码：
-
-- 校验当前密码。
-- 更新 bcrypt hash。
-- `token_version += 1`，使旧 JWT 立即失效。
-- 重新签发 cookie。
-- 如果 `needs_setup=true` 且传了 `new_email`，则更新邮箱并清除 `needs_setup`。
-
-`python -m app.gateway.auth.reset_admin` 会：
-
-- 找到 admin 或指定邮箱用户。
-- 生成随机密码。
-- 更新密码 hash。
-- `token_version += 1`。
-- 设置 `needs_setup=true`。
-- 写入 `.deer-flow/admin_initial_credentials.txt`，权限 `0600`。
-
-命令行只输出凭据文件路径，不输出明文密码。
-
-## HTTP 认证边界
-
-`AuthMiddleware` 是 fail-closed（默认拒绝）的全局认证门。
-
-公开路径：
-
-- `/health`
-- `/docs`
-- `/redoc`
-- `/openapi.json`
-- `/api/v1/auth/login/local`
-- `/api/v1/auth/register`
-- `/api/v1/auth/logout`
-- `/api/v1/auth/setup-status`
-- `/api/v1/auth/initialize`
-
-其余路径都要求有效 `access_token` cookie。存在 cookie 但 JWT 无效、过期、用户不存在或 `token_version` 不匹配时，直接返回 401，而不是让请求穿透到业务路由。
-
-路由级别的 owner check 由 `require_permission(..., owner_check=True)` 完成：
-
-- 读类请求允许旧的未追踪 legacy thread 兼容读取。
-- 写 / 删除类请求使用 `require_existing=True`，要求 thread row 存在且属于当前用户，避免删除后缺 row 导致其他用户误通过。
-
-## CSRF 设计
-
-DeerFlow 使用 Double Submit Cookie：
-
-- 服务端设置 `csrf_token` cookie。
-- 前端 state-changing 请求发送同值 `X-CSRF-Token` header。
-- 服务端用 `secrets.compare_digest` 比较 cookie/header。
-
-需要 CSRF 的方法：
-
-- `POST`
-- `PUT`
-- `DELETE`
-- `PATCH`
-
-auth bootstrap 端点（login/register/initialize/logout）不要求 double-submit token，因为首次调用时浏览器还没有 token；但这些端点会校验 browser `Origin`，拒绝 hostile Origin，避免 login CSRF / session fixation。
-
-## 用户隔离
-
-### Thread metadata
-
-Thread metadata 存在 `threads_meta`，关键隔离字段是 `user_id`。
-
-创建 thread 时：
-
-- 客户端传入的 `metadata.user_id` 和 `metadata.owner_id` 会被剥离。
-- `ThreadMetaRepository.create(..., user_id=AUTO)` 从 `ContextVar` 解析真实用户。
-- `/api/threads/search` 默认只返回当前用户的 thread。
-
-读取 / 修改 / 删除时：
-
-- `get()` 默认按当前用户过滤。
-- `check_access()` 用于路由 owner check。
-- 对其他用户的 thread 返回 404，避免泄露资源存在性。
-
-### 文件系统
-
-当前线程文件布局：
-
-```text
-{base_dir}/users/{user_id}/threads/{thread_id}/user-data/
-├── workspace/
-├── uploads/
-└── outputs/
-```
-
-agent 在 sandbox 内看到统一虚拟路径：
-
-```text
-/mnt/user-data/workspace
-/mnt/user-data/uploads
-/mnt/user-data/outputs
-```
-
-`ThreadDataMiddleware` 使用 `get_effective_user_id()` 解析当前用户并生成线程路径。没有认证上下文时会落到 `default` 用户桶，主要用于内部调用、嵌入式 client 或无 HTTP 的本地执行路径。
-
-### Memory
-
-默认 memory 存储：
-
-```text
-{base_dir}/users/{user_id}/memory.json
-{base_dir}/users/{user_id}/agents/{agent_name}/memory.json
-```
-
-有用户上下文时，空或相对 `memory.storage_path` 都使用上述 per-user 默认路径；只有绝对 `memory.storage_path` 会视为显式 opt-out（退出） per-user isolation，所有用户共享该路径。无用户上下文的 legacy 路径仍会把相对 `storage_path` 解析到 `Paths.base_dir` 下。
-
-### 自定义 agent
-
-用户自定义 agent 写入：
-
-```text
-{base_dir}/users/{user_id}/agents/{agent_name}/
-├── config.yaml
-├── SOUL.md
-└── memory.json
-```
-
-旧布局 `{base_dir}/agents/{agent_name}/` 只作为只读兼容回退。更新或删除旧共享 agent 会要求先运行迁移脚本。
-
-## 内部调用与 IM 渠道
-
-IM channel worker 不是浏览器用户，不持有浏览器 cookie。它们通过 Gateway 内部认证：
-
-- 请求带 `X-DeerFlow-Internal-Token`。
-- 同时带匹配的 CSRF cookie/header。
-- 服务端识别为内部用户，`id="default"`、`system_role="internal"`。
-
-这意味着 channel 产生的数据默认进入 `default` 用户桶。这个选择适合“平台级 bot 身份”，但不是“每个 IM 用户单独隔离”。如果后续要做到外部 IM 用户隔离，需要把外部 platform user 映射到 DeerFlow user，并让 channel manager 设置对应的 scoped identity。
-
-## LangGraph-compatible 认证
-
-Gateway 内嵌 runtime 路径由 `AuthMiddleware` 和 `CSRFMiddleware` 保护。
-
-仓库仍保留 `app.gateway.langgraph_auth`，用于 LangGraph Server 直连模式：
-
-- `@auth.authenticate` 校验 JWT cookie、CSRF、用户存在性和 `token_version`。
-- `@auth.on` 在写入 metadata 时注入 `user_id`，并在读路径返回 `{"user_id": current_user}` 过滤条件。
-
-这保证 Gateway 路由和 LangGraph-compatible 直连模式使用同一 JWT 语义。
-
-## 升级与迁移
-
-从无认证版本升级时，可能存在没有 `user_id` 的历史 thread。
-
-当前策略：
-
-1. 首次启动如果没有 admin，只提示访问 `/setup`，不迁移。
-2. 操作者创建 admin。
-3. 后续启动时，`_ensure_admin_user()` 找到 admin，并把 LangGraph store 中缺少 `metadata.user_id` 的 thread 迁移到 admin。
-
-文件系统旧布局迁移由脚本处理：
-
-```bash
-cd backend
-PYTHONPATH=. python scripts/migrate_user_isolation.py --dry-run
-PYTHONPATH=. python scripts/migrate_user_isolation.py --user-id <target-user-id>
-```
-
-迁移脚本覆盖 legacy `memory.json`、`threads/` 和 `agents/` 到 per-user layout。
-
-## 安全不变量
-
-必须长期保持的不变量：
-
-- JWT 只在 HttpOnly cookie 中传输，不出现在响应 JSON。
-- 任何非 public HTTP 路由都不能只靠“cookie 存在”放行，必须严格验证 JWT。
-- `token_version` 不匹配必须拒绝，保证改密码 / reset 后旧 session 失效。
-- 客户端 metadata 中的 `user_id` / `owner_id` 必须剥离。
-- repository 默认 `AUTO` 必须从当前用户上下文解析，不能静默退化成全局查询。
-- 只有迁移脚本和 admin CLI 可以显式传 `user_id=None` 绕过隔离。
-- 本地文件路径必须通过 `Paths` 和 sandbox path validation 解析，不能拼接未校验的用户输入。
-- 捕获认证、迁移、后台任务异常必须记录日志；不能空 catch。

 DeerFlow 内置了认证模块。本文档面向从无认证版本升级的用户。
 
-完整设计见 [AUTH_DESIGN.md](AUTH_DESIGN.md)。
-
 ## 核心概念
 
 认证模块采用**始终强制**策略：
 
-- 首次启动时不会自动创建账号；首次访问 `/setup` 时由操作者创建第一个 admin 账号
+- 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
-- 已有 admin 后，服务启动时会把历史对话（升级前创建且缺少 `user_id` 的 thread）迁移到 admin 名下
-- 新数据按用户隔离：thread、workspace/uploads/outputs、memory、自定义 agent 都归属当前用户
+- 历史对话（升级前创建的 thread）自动迁移到 admin 名下
 
 ## 升级步骤

 ```
 ============================================================
-  First boot detected — no admin account exists.
-  Visit /setup to complete admin account creation.
+  Admin account created on first boot
+  Email:    admin@deerflow.dev
+  Password: aB3xK9mN_pQ7rT2w
+  Change it after login: Settings → Account
 ============================================================
 ```
 
-首次启动不会在日志里打印随机密码，也不会写入默认 admin。这样避免启动日志泄露凭据，也避免在操作者创建账号前出现可被猜测的默认身份。
+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. 创建 admin
+### 3. 登录
 
-访问 `http://localhost:2026/setup`，填写邮箱和密码创建第一个 admin 账号。创建成功后会自动登录并进入 workspace。
+访问 `http://localhost:2026/login`，使用控制台输出的邮箱和密码登录。

 ## 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 | 受保护的 POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE 请求需携带 `X-CSRF-Token`；登录/注册/初始化/登出走 auth 端点 Origin 校验 |
+| 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 |
-| Thread owner filter | `threads_meta.user_id` 由服务端认证上下文写入，搜索、读取、更新、删除默认按当前用户过滤 |
-| 文件系统隔离 | 线程数据写入 `{base_dir}/users/{user_id}/threads/{thread_id}/user-data/`，sandbox 内统一映射为 `/mnt/user-data/` |
-| Memory / agent 隔离 | 用户 memory 和自定义 agent 写入 `{base_dir}/users/{user_id}/...`；旧共享 agent 只作为只读兼容回退 |
+| 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 |

 When you configure `sandbox.mounts`, DeerFlow exposes those `container_path` values in the agent prompt so the agent can discover and operate on mounted directories directly instead of assuming everything must live under `/mnt/user-data`.

+# 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.*              │
+└──────────────┬──────────────────────┘

+│  ├── 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.

-# Storage Package Design
-
-## Background
-
-DeerFlow currently has several persistence responsibilities spread across app, gateway, runtime, and legacy persistence modules. This makes the persistence boundary difficult to reason about and creates several migration risks:
-
-- Routers and runtime services can accidentally depend on concrete persistence implementations instead of stable contracts.
-- User/auth, run metadata, thread metadata, feedback, run events, and checkpointer setup are initialized through different paths.
-- Some persistence behavior is duplicated between memory, SQLite, and PostgreSQL-oriented code paths.
-- Incremental migration is hard because app-level code and storage-level code are coupled.
-- Adding or validating another SQL backend requires touching app/runtime code instead of a storage-owned package.
-
-The storage package is introduced to make application data persistence a package-level capability with explicit contracts, a clear boundary, and SQL backend compatibility.
-
-## Goals
-
-- Provide a standalone `packages/storage` package for durable application data.
-- Support SQLite, PostgreSQL, and MySQL through a shared persistence construction flow.
-- Keep LangGraph checkpointer initialization compatible with the same database backend.
-- Expose repository contracts as the only package-level data access boundary.
-- Let the app layer depend on app-owned adapters under `app.infra.storage`, not on storage DB implementation classes.
-- Allow the app/gateway migration to happen in small steps without forcing a large rewrite.
-
-## Non-Goals
-
-- This design does not remove legacy persistence in the first PR.
-- This design does not move routers directly onto storage package models.
-- This design does not make app routers own SQLAlchemy sessions.
-- Cron persistence is intentionally out of scope for the storage package foundation.
-- Memory backend is not part of the durable storage package. Memory compatibility, if still needed by app runtime, belongs outside `packages/storage`.
-
-## Storage Design Principles
-
-### Package-Owned Durable Storage
-
-`packages/storage` owns durable application data persistence. It defines:
-
-- configuration shape for storage-backed persistence
-- SQLAlchemy models
-- repository contracts and DTOs
-- SQL repository implementations
-- persistence factory functions
-- compatibility helpers for config-driven initialization
-
-The package should be usable without importing `app.gateway`, routers, auth providers, or runtime-specific gateway objects.
-
-### SQL Backend Compatibility
-
-The package supports three SQL backends:
-
-- SQLite for local/single-node deployments
-- PostgreSQL for production multi-node deployments
-- MySQL for deployments that standardize on MySQL
-
-Backend-specific differences are handled inside the storage package:
-
-- SQLAlchemy async engine URL construction
-- LangGraph checkpointer connection-string compatibility
-- JSON metadata filtering across SQLite/PostgreSQL/MySQL
-- SQL dialect behavior around locking, aggregation, and JSON type semantics
-
-### Unified Persistence Bundle
-
-Storage initialization returns an `AppPersistence` bundle:
-
-```python
-@dataclass(slots=True)
-class AppPersistence:
-    checkpointer: Checkpointer
-    engine: AsyncEngine
-    session_factory: async_sessionmaker[AsyncSession]
-    setup: Callable[[], Awaitable[None]]
-    aclose: Callable[[], Awaitable[None]]
-```
-
-The app runtime can initialize persistence once, call `setup()`, and then inject:
-
-- `checkpointer`
-- `session_factory`
-- repository adapters
-
-This keeps checkpointer and application data aligned to the same backend without requiring routers to understand database configuration.
-

-
-## Persistence Construction
-
-The primary storage entrypoint is:
-
-```python
-from store.persistence import create_persistence_from_storage_config
-
-persistence = await create_persistence_from_storage_config(storage_config)
-await persistence.setup()
-```
-
-For app-level compatibility with existing database config shape:
-
-```python
-from store.persistence import create_persistence_from_database_config
-
-persistence = await create_persistence_from_database_config(config.database)
-await persistence.setup()
-```
-
-Expected app startup flow:
-
-```python
-persistence = await create_persistence_from_database_config(config.database)
-await persistence.setup()
-
-app.state.persistence = persistence
-app.state.checkpointer = persistence.checkpointer
-app.state.session_factory = persistence.session_factory
-```
-
-Expected app shutdown flow:
-
-```python
-await app.state.persistence.aclose()
-```
-
-## Repository Contract Design
-
-Repository contracts are the storage package's public data access boundary. They live under `store.repositories.contracts` and are re-exported from `store.repositories`.
-
-The key contract groups are:
-
-- `UserRepositoryProtocol`
-- `RunRepositoryProtocol`
-- `ThreadMetaRepositoryProtocol`
-- `FeedbackRepositoryProtocol`
-- `RunEventRepositoryProtocol`
-
-Each contract owns:
-
-- input DTOs, such as `UserCreate`, `RunCreate`, `ThreadMetaCreate`
-- output DTOs, such as `User`, `Run`, `ThreadMeta`
-- repository protocol methods
-- domain-specific exceptions when needed, such as `InvalidMetadataFilterError`
-
-Repository construction is session-based:
-
-```python
-from store.repositories import build_run_repository
-
-async with persistence.session_factory() as session:
-    repo = build_run_repository(session)
-    run = await repo.get_run(run_id)
-```
-
-This keeps transaction ownership explicit. The storage package does not hide commits or session lifecycle inside global singletons.
-
-## App/Infra Calling Contract
-
-The app layer should not call `store.repositories.db.*` directly. The intended app boundary is `app.infra.storage`.
-
-`app.infra.storage` is responsible for:
-
-- receiving `session_factory` from FastAPI runtime initialization
-- owning session lifecycle for app-facing repository methods
-- translating storage DTOs to app/gateway DTOs only when needed
-- preserving the existing app-facing names during migration
-- depending on storage repository protocols, not concrete DB classes
-
-Expected adapter pattern:
-
-```python
-class StorageRunRepository(RunRepositoryProtocol):
-    def __init__(self, session_factory):
-        self._session_factory = session_factory
-
-    async def get_run(self, run_id: str):
-        async with self._session_factory() as session:
-            repo = build_run_repository(session)
-            return await repo.get_run(run_id)
-```
-
-For gateway compatibility, app state can keep existing names while the implementation changes:
-
-```python
-app.state.run_store = StorageRunStore(run_repository)
-app.state.feedback_repo = StorageFeedbackStore(feedback_repository)
-app.state.thread_store = StorageThreadMetaStore(thread_meta_repository)
-app.state.run_event_store = StorageRunEventStore(run_event_repository)
-app.state.checkpointer = persistence.checkpointer
-app.state.session_factory = persistence.session_factory
-```
-
-The app-facing objects may expose legacy method names during migration, but their internal data access should go through storage contracts.
-
-## Boundary Rules
-
-### Allowed Calls
-
-Storage package callers may use:
-
-```python
-from store.persistence import create_persistence_from_database_config
-from store.persistence import create_persistence_from_storage_config
-from store.repositories import build_run_repository
-from store.repositories import build_user_repository
-from store.repositories import build_thread_meta_repository
-from store.repositories import build_feedback_repository
-from store.repositories import build_run_event_repository
-from store.repositories import RunRepositoryProtocol
-from store.repositories import UserRepositoryProtocol
-```
-
-App layer callers should use:
-
-```python
-from app.infra.storage import StorageRunRepository
-from app.infra.storage import StorageUserDataRepository
-from app.infra.storage import StorageThreadMetaRepository
-from app.infra.storage import StorageFeedbackRepository
-from app.infra.storage import StorageRunEventRepository
-```
-
-### Prohibited Calls
-
-App/gateway/router/auth code must not import:
-
-```python
-from store.repositories.db import DbRunRepository
-from store.repositories.models import Run
-from store.persistence.base_model import MappedBase
-```
-
-Routers must not:
-
-- create SQLAlchemy engines
-- create SQLAlchemy sessions directly
-- call storage DB repository classes directly
-- commit/rollback storage transactions directly unless explicitly scoped by an infra adapter
-- depend on storage SQLAlchemy model classes
-
-Storage package code must not import:
-
-```python
-import app.gateway
-import app.infra
-import deerflow.runtime
-```
-
-The dependency direction is:
-
-```text
-app/gateway -> app.infra.storage -> packages/storage contracts/factories -> packages/storage db implementations
-```
-
-The reverse direction is forbidden.
-
-## Checkpointer Compatibility
-
-The storage persistence bundle initializes the LangGraph checkpointer alongside application data persistence.
-
-Backend-specific notes:
-
-- SQLite uses `langgraph-checkpoint-sqlite`.
-- PostgreSQL uses `langgraph-checkpoint-postgres` and requires a string `postgresql://...` connection URL.
-- MySQL uses `langgraph-checkpoint-mysql` and requires a string MySQL connection URL.
-
-SQLAlchemy may use async driver URLs such as `postgresql+asyncpg://...` or `mysql+aiomysql://...`, but LangGraph checkpointer constructors expect plain string connection URLs. This conversion belongs inside the storage driver implementation.
-
-## JSON Metadata Filtering
-
-Thread metadata search supports dialect-aware JSON filtering through `store.persistence.json_compat`.
-
-The matcher supports:
-
-- `None`
-- `bool`
-- `int`
-- `float`
-- `str`
-
-It rejects:
-
-- unsafe keys
-- nested JSON path expressions
-- dict/list values
-- integers outside signed 64-bit range
-
-This prevents SQL/JSON path injection, avoids compiled-cache type drift, and preserves type semantics such as `True != 1` and explicit JSON `null` not matching a missing key.
-
-## Step-by-Step Implementation Plan
-
-### Step 1: Introduce Storage Package Foundation
-
-- Add `backend/packages/storage`.
-- Add storage config models.
-- Add `AppPersistence`.
-- Add SQLite/PostgreSQL/MySQL persistence drivers.
-- Add repository contracts, models, DB implementations, and factory helpers.
-- Add package dependency wiring.
-- Exclude cron persistence.
-
-### Step 2: Harden Storage Backend Compatibility
-
-- Validate SQLite setup and repository behavior.
-- Validate PostgreSQL and MySQL with local E2E tests.
-- Fix checkpointer connection-string compatibility.
-- Fix PostgreSQL locking and aggregation differences.
-- Add dialect-aware JSON metadata filtering.
-
-### Step 3: Add App Infra Adapters
-
-- Add `backend/app/infra/storage`.
-- Implement app-facing repositories that own session lifecycle.
-- Keep storage contracts as the only data access boundary.
-- Add legacy compatibility adapters for existing app/gateway method shapes.
-- Keep app/gateway imports out of `packages/storage`.
-
-### Step 4: Switch FastAPI Runtime Injection
-
-- Initialize storage persistence in FastAPI startup/lifespan.
-- Attach `persistence`, `checkpointer`, and `session_factory` to `app.state`.
-- Preserve existing external state names:
-  - `run_store`
-  - `feedback_repo`
-  - `thread_store`
-  - `run_event_store`
-  - `checkpointer`
-  - `session_factory`
-- Start with user/auth provider construction, then migrate run/thread/feedback/run_event.
-
-### Step 5: Router and Auth Compatibility
-
-- Ensure routers consume app-facing adapters, not storage DB classes.
-- Ensure auth providers depend on user repository contracts.
-- Keep router response shapes unchanged.
-- Add focused auth/admin/router regression tests.
-
-### Step 6: Cleanup Legacy Persistence
-
-- Compare old persistence usage after app/gateway migration.
-- Remove unused old repository implementations only after all call sites move.
-- Keep compatibility shims only where needed for a transition window.
-- Delete memory backend paths from storage-owned durable persistence.
-
-## Testing Strategy
-
-Unit tests should cover:
-
-- config parsing
-- persistence setup
-- table creation
-- repository CRUD/query behavior
-- typed JSON metadata filtering
-- dialect SQL compilation
-- cron exclusion
-
-E2E tests should cover:
-
-- SQLite persistence setup
-- PostgreSQL temporary database setup
-- MySQL temporary database setup
-- repository contract behavior across all supported SQL backends
-- JSON/Unicode round trip
-- rollback behavior
-- persistence close/cleanup
-
-E2E tests may remain local-only if CI does not provide PostgreSQL/MySQL services.

-# Storage Package 设计文档
-
-## 背景
-
-DeerFlow 当前有多类持久化职责分散在 app、gateway、runtime 和旧 persistence 模块中。这会带来几个问题：
-
-- routers 和 runtime services 容易依赖具体 persistence 实现，而不是稳定契约。
-- user/auth、run metadata、thread metadata、feedback、run events、checkpointer setup 的初始化路径不统一。
-- memory、SQLite、PostgreSQL 相关路径中存在部分重复逻辑。
-- app 层代码和 storage 层代码耦合，导致增量迁移困难。
-- 增加或验证新的 SQL backend 时，需要改动 app/runtime，而不是只改 storage package。
-
-引入 storage package 的目标，是把应用数据持久化抽象成 package 级能力，并提供明确契约、清晰边界和 SQL backend 兼容性。
-
-## 目标
-
-- 新增独立的 `packages/storage`，负责 durable application data。
-- 通过统一 persistence 构造流程支持 SQLite、PostgreSQL、MySQL。
-- 保持 LangGraph checkpointer 与同一个数据库 backend 兼容。
-- 将 repository contracts 作为 package 对外唯一数据访问边界。
-- app 层通过 `app.infra.storage` 适配 storage，而不是直接依赖 storage DB 实现类。
-- 支持 app/gateway 后续小步迁移，避免一次性大重构。
-
-## 非目标
-
-- 第一阶段不删除旧 persistence。
-- 不让 routers 直接依赖 storage package models。
-- 不让 app routers 管理 SQLAlchemy sessions。
-- cron persistence 不属于 storage package 基础迁移范围。
-- memory backend 不属于 durable storage package。若 app runtime 仍需要 memory 兼容，应放在 `packages/storage` 之外。
-
-## Storage 设计理念
-
-### Package 自己负责 Durable Storage
-
-`packages/storage` 负责应用数据的 durable persistence，包括：
-
-- storage 持久化配置
-- SQLAlchemy models
-- repository contracts 和 DTOs
-- SQL repository 实现
-- persistence factory functions
-- 面向现有 config 的兼容初始化入口
-
-该 package 不应该 import `app.gateway`、routers、auth providers 或 runtime 中的 gateway 对象。
-
-### SQL Backend 兼容
-
-该 package 支持三种 SQL backend：
-
-- SQLite：本地或单节点部署
-- PostgreSQL：生产多节点部署
-- MySQL：使用 MySQL 作为标准数据库的部署
-
-backend 差异在 storage package 内部处理：
-
-- SQLAlchemy async engine URL 构造
-- LangGraph checkpointer 连接串兼容
-- SQLite/PostgreSQL/MySQL 的 JSON metadata filter
-- 不同 SQL 方言在 locking、aggregation、JSON 类型语义上的差异
-
-### 统一 Persistence Bundle
-
-Storage 初始化返回 `AppPersistence` bundle：
-
-```python
-@dataclass(slots=True)
-class AppPersistence:
-    checkpointer: Checkpointer
-    engine: AsyncEngine
-    session_factory: async_sessionmaker[AsyncSession]
-    setup: Callable[[], Awaitable[None]]
-    aclose: Callable[[], Awaitable[None]]
-```
-
-app runtime 只需要初始化一次 persistence，调用 `setup()`，然后注入：
-
-- `checkpointer`
-- `session_factory`
-- repository adapters
-
-这样 checkpointer 和应用数据可以对齐到同一个 backend，同时 routers 不需要理解数据库配置。
-

-        run_event.py
-      factory.py
-```
-
-## Persistence 构造
-
-storage 的主要入口：
-
-```python
-from store.persistence import create_persistence_from_storage_config
-
-persistence = await create_persistence_from_storage_config(storage_config)
-await persistence.setup()
-```
-
-为了兼容现有 app database config，也提供：
-
-```python
-from store.persistence import create_persistence_from_database_config
-
-persistence = await create_persistence_from_database_config(config.database)
-await persistence.setup()
-```
-
-预期 app startup 流程：
-
-```python
-persistence = await create_persistence_from_database_config(config.database)
-await persistence.setup()
-
-app.state.persistence = persistence
-app.state.checkpointer = persistence.checkpointer
-app.state.session_factory = persistence.session_factory
-```
-
-预期 app shutdown 流程：
-
-```python
-await app.state.persistence.aclose()
-```
-
-## Repository 契约设计
-
-Repository contracts 是 storage package 对外公开的数据访问边界。它们位于 `store.repositories.contracts`，并通过 `store.repositories` re-export。
-
-主要契约包括：
-
-- `UserRepositoryProtocol`
-- `RunRepositoryProtocol`
-- `ThreadMetaRepositoryProtocol`
-- `FeedbackRepositoryProtocol`
-- `RunEventRepositoryProtocol`
-
-每组契约包含：
-
-- 输入 DTO，例如 `UserCreate`、`RunCreate`、`ThreadMetaCreate`
-- 输出 DTO，例如 `User`、`Run`、`ThreadMeta`
-- repository protocol methods
-- 必要的领域异常，例如 `InvalidMetadataFilterError`
-
-Repository 通过 session 构造：
-
-```python
-from store.repositories import build_run_repository
-
-async with persistence.session_factory() as session:
-    repo = build_run_repository(session)
-    run = await repo.get_run(run_id)
-```
-
-这样可以让 transaction ownership 保持明确。storage package 不通过全局 singleton 隐式隐藏 commit 或 session 生命周期。
-
-## App/Infra 调用契约
-
-app 层不应该直接调用 `store.repositories.db.*`。预期的 app 边界是 `app.infra.storage`。
-
-`app.infra.storage` 负责：
-
-- 从 FastAPI runtime 初始化中接收 `session_factory`
-- 为 app-facing repository methods 管理 session 生命周期
-- 在必要时将 storage DTOs 转成 app/gateway DTOs
-- 迁移期间保留现有 app-facing 名称
-- 依赖 storage repository protocols，而不是具体 DB classes
-
-预期 adapter 模式：
-
-```python
-class StorageRunRepository(RunRepositoryProtocol):
-    def __init__(self, session_factory):
-        self._session_factory = session_factory
-
-    async def get_run(self, run_id: str):
-        async with self._session_factory() as session:
-            repo = build_run_repository(session)
-            return await repo.get_run(run_id)
-```
-
-为了兼容 gateway，app state 可以暂时保持现有名字，只替换内部实现：
-
-```python
-app.state.run_store = StorageRunStore(run_repository)
-app.state.feedback_repo = StorageFeedbackStore(feedback_repository)
-app.state.thread_store = StorageThreadMetaStore(thread_meta_repository)
-app.state.run_event_store = StorageRunEventStore(run_event_repository)
-app.state.checkpointer = persistence.checkpointer
-app.state.session_factory = persistence.session_factory
-```
-
-app-facing objects 可以在迁移期间保留旧方法名，但内部数据访问必须经过 storage contracts。
-
-## 边界规则
-
-### 允许调用的范围
-
-storage package 调用方可以使用：
-
-```python
-from store.persistence import create_persistence_from_database_config
-from store.persistence import create_persistence_from_storage_config
-from store.repositories import build_run_repository
-from store.repositories import build_user_repository
-from store.repositories import build_thread_meta_repository
-from store.repositories import build_feedback_repository
-from store.repositories import build_run_event_repository
-from store.repositories import RunRepositoryProtocol
-from store.repositories import UserRepositoryProtocol
-```
-
-app 层应该使用：
-
-```python
-from app.infra.storage import StorageRunRepository
-from app.infra.storage import StorageUserDataRepository
-from app.infra.storage import StorageThreadMetaRepository
-from app.infra.storage import StorageFeedbackRepository
-from app.infra.storage import StorageRunEventRepository
-```
-
-### 禁止调用的范围
-
-app/gateway/router/auth 代码不应该 import：
-
-```python
-from store.repositories.db import DbRunRepository
-from store.repositories.models import Run
-from store.persistence.base_model import MappedBase
-```
-
-routers 禁止：
-
-- 创建 SQLAlchemy engines
-- 直接创建 SQLAlchemy sessions
-- 直接调用 storage DB repository classes
-- 直接 commit/rollback storage transactions，除非这是 infra adapter 明确管理的范围
-- 依赖 storage SQLAlchemy model classes
-
-storage package 禁止 import：
-
-```python
-import app.gateway
-import app.infra
-import deerflow.runtime
-```
-
-依赖方向必须是：
-
-```text
-app/gateway -> app.infra.storage -> packages/storage contracts/factories -> packages/storage db implementations
-```
-
-禁止反向依赖。
-
-## Checkpointer 兼容
-
-storage persistence bundle 会同时初始化 LangGraph checkpointer 和应用数据持久化。

-- SQLite 使用 `langgraph-checkpoint-sqlite`。
-- PostgreSQL 使用 `langgraph-checkpoint-postgres`，需要字符串形式的 `postgresql://...` 连接串。
-- MySQL 使用 `langgraph-checkpoint-mysql`，需要字符串形式的 MySQL 连接串。
-
-SQLAlchemy 可以使用 `postgresql+asyncpg://...` 或 `mysql+aiomysql://...` 这类 async driver URL，但 LangGraph checkpointer 构造函数需要普通字符串连接串。这个转换应该封装在 storage driver implementation 内部。
-
-## JSON Metadata Filtering
-
-Thread metadata search 通过 `store.persistence.json_compat` 支持跨方言 JSON filtering。
-
-支持的 filter value 类型：
-
-- `None`
-- `bool`
-- `int`
-- `float`
-- `str`
-
-拒绝：
-
-- unsafe keys
-- nested JSON path expressions
-- dict/list values
-- 超出 signed 64-bit 范围的整数
-
-这样可以避免 SQL/JSON path injection，避免 compiled-cache 类型漂移，并保留类型语义，例如 `True != 1`，显式 JSON `null` 不等于 missing key。
-
-## 分步实现方案
-
-### 第 1 步：新增 Storage Package 基础
-
-- 新增 `backend/packages/storage`。
-- 增加 storage config models。
-- 增加 `AppPersistence`。
-- 增加 SQLite/PostgreSQL/MySQL persistence drivers。
-- 增加 repository contracts、models、DB implementations 和 factory helpers。
-- 接入 package dependency。
-- 排除 cron persistence。
-
-### 第 2 步：补齐 Storage Backend 兼容性
-
-- 验证 SQLite setup 和 repository 行为。
-- 使用本地 E2E 验证 PostgreSQL 和 MySQL。
-- 修复 checkpointer 连接串兼容。
-- 修复 PostgreSQL locking 和 aggregation 差异。
-- 增加跨方言 JSON metadata filtering。
-
-### 第 3 步：新增 App Infra Adapters
-
-- 新增 `backend/app/infra/storage`。
-- 实现 app-facing repositories，由它们管理 session 生命周期。
-- 保持 storage contracts 作为唯一数据访问边界。
-- 为现有 app/gateway method shape 增加兼容 adapters。
-- 避免 `packages/storage` import app/gateway。
-
-### 第 4 步：切换 FastAPI Runtime 注入
-
-- 在 FastAPI startup/lifespan 中初始化 storage persistence。
-- 将 `persistence`、`checkpointer`、`session_factory` 注入 `app.state`。
-- 暂时保留现有对外 state 名称：
-  - `run_store`
-  - `feedback_repo`
-  - `thread_store`
-  - `run_event_store`
-  - `checkpointer`
-  - `session_factory`
-- 先切 user/auth provider 构造，再逐步迁移 run/thread/feedback/run_event。
-
-### 第 5 步：Router 和 Auth 兼容
-
-- 确保 routers 消费 app-facing adapters，而不是 storage DB classes。
-- 确保 auth providers 依赖 user repository contracts。
-- 保持 router response shapes 不变。
-- 增加 auth/admin/router regression tests。
-
-### 第 6 步：清理旧 Persistence
-
-- app/gateway 迁移完成后，再比较旧 persistence usage。
-- 所有 call sites 迁移完成后，再删除未使用的旧 repository implementations。
-- 只在必要时保留短期 compatibility shims。
-- 从 storage-owned durable persistence 中移除 memory backend 路径。
-
-## 测试策略
-
-单测应覆盖：
-
-- config parsing
-- persistence setup
-- table creation
-- repository CRUD/query behavior
-- typed JSON metadata filtering
-- dialect SQL compilation
-- cron exclusion
-
-E2E 应覆盖：
-
-- SQLite persistence setup
-- PostgreSQL temporary database setup
-- MySQL temporary database setup
-- 所有支持 SQL backend 下的 repository contract 行为
-- JSON/Unicode round trip
-- rollback behavior
-- persistence close/cleanup
-
-如果 CI 暂时没有 PostgreSQL/MySQL services，E2E 可以先作为 local-only 验证保留。

-"""Middleware to inject dynamic context (memory, current date) as a system-reminder.
-
-The system prompt is kept fully static for maximum prefix-cache reuse across users
-and sessions.  The current date is always injected.  Per-user memory is also injected
-when ``memory.injection_enabled`` is True in the app config.  Both are delivered once
-per conversation as a dedicated <system-reminder> HumanMessage inserted before the
-first user message (frozen-snapshot pattern).
-
-When a conversation spans midnight the middleware detects the date change and injects
-a lightweight date-update reminder as a separate HumanMessage before the current turn.
-This correction is persisted so subsequent turns on the new day see a consistent history
-and do not re-inject.
