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

-# DeerFlow Smoke Test Skill
-
-This skill guides the Agent through DeerFlow's full end-to-end smoke test workflow, including code updates, deployment (supporting both Docker and local installation modes), service availability verification, and health checks.
-
-## Deployment Mode Selection
-
-This skill supports two deployment modes:
-- **Local installation mode** (recommended, especially when network issues occur) - Run all services directly on the local machine
-- **Docker mode** - Run all services inside Docker containers
-
-**Selection strategy**:
-- If the user explicitly asks for Docker mode, use Docker
-- If network issues occur (such as slow image pulls), automatically switch to local mode
-- Default to local mode whenever possible

-
-## Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)
-
-### Phase 1: Code Update Check
-
-1. **Confirm current directory** - Verify that the current working directory is the DeerFlow project root
-2. **Check Git status** - See whether there are uncommitted changes
-3. **Pull the latest code** - Use `git pull origin main` to get the latest updates
-4. **Confirm code update** - Verify that the latest code was pulled successfully
-
-### Phase 2: Deployment Mode Selection and Environment Check
-
-**Choose deployment mode**:
-- Ask for user preference, or choose automatically based on network conditions
-- Default to local installation mode
-
-**Local mode environment check**:
-1. **Check Node.js version** - Requires 22+
-2. **Check pnpm** - Package manager
-3. **Check uv** - Python package manager
-4. **Check nginx** - Reverse proxy
-5. **Check required ports** - Confirm that ports 2026, 3000, 8001, and 2024 are not occupied
-
-**Docker mode environment check** (if Docker is selected):
-1. **Check whether Docker is installed** - Run `docker --version`
-2. **Check Docker daemon status** - Run `docker info`
-3. **Check Docker Compose availability** - Run `docker compose version`
-4. **Check required ports** - Confirm that port 2026 is not occupied
-
-### Phase 3: Configuration Preparation
-
-1. **Check whether config.yaml exists**
-   - If it does not exist, run `make config` to generate it
-   - If it already exists, check whether it needs an upgrade with `make config-upgrade`
-2. **Check the .env file**
-   - Verify that required environment variables are configured
-   - Especially model API keys such as `OPENAI_API_KEY`
-
-### Phase 4: Deployment Execution
-
-**Local mode deployment**:
-1. **Check dependencies** - Run `make check`
-2. **Install dependencies** - Run `make install`
-3. **(Optional) Pre-pull the sandbox image** - If needed, run `make setup-sandbox`
-4. **Start services** - Run `make dev-daemon` (background mode, recommended) or `make dev` (foreground mode)
-5. **Wait for startup** - Give all services enough time to start completely (90-120 seconds recommended)
-
-**Docker mode deployment** (if Docker is selected):
-1. **Initialize Docker environment** - Run `make docker-init`
-2. **Start Docker services** - Run `make docker-start`
-3. **Wait for startup** - Give all containers enough time to start completely (60 seconds recommended)
-
-### Phase 5: Service Health Check
-
-**Local mode health check**:
-1. **Check process status** - Confirm that LangGraph, Gateway, Frontend, and Nginx processes are all running
-2. **Check frontend service** - Visit `http://localhost:2026` and verify that the page loads
-3. **Check API Gateway** - Verify the `http://localhost:2026/health` endpoint
-4. **Check LangGraph service** - Verify the availability of relevant endpoints
-5. **Frontend route smoke check** - Run `bash .agent/skills/smoke-test/scripts/frontend_check.sh` to verify key routes under `/workspace`
-
-**Docker mode health check** (when using Docker):
-1. **Check container status** - Run `docker ps` and confirm that all containers are running
-2. **Check frontend service** - Visit `http://localhost:2026` and verify that the page loads
-3. **Check API Gateway** - Verify the `http://localhost:2026/health` endpoint
-4. **Check LangGraph service** - Verify the availability of relevant endpoints
-5. **Frontend route smoke check** - Run `bash .agent/skills/smoke-test/scripts/frontend_check.sh` to verify key routes under `/workspace`
-
-### Optional Functional Verification
-
-1. **List available models** - Verify that model configuration loads correctly
-2. **List available skills** - Verify that the skill directory is mounted correctly
-3. **Simple chat test** - Send a simple message to verify the end-to-end flow
-
-### Phase 6: Generate Test Report
-
-1. **Collect all test results** - Summarize execution status for each phase
-2. **Record encountered issues** - If anything fails, record the error details
-3. **Generate the final report** - Use the template that matches the selected deployment mode to create the complete test report, including overall conclusion, detailed key test cases, and explicit frontend page / route results
-4. **Provide follow-up recommendations** - Offer suggestions based on the test results
-
-## Execution Rules
-
-- **Follow the sequence** - Execute strictly in the order described above
-- **Idempotency** - Every step should be safe to repeat
-- **Error handling** - If a step fails, stop and report the issue, then provide troubleshooting suggestions
-- **Detailed logging** - Record the execution result and status of each step
-- **User confirmation** - Ask for confirmation before potentially risky operations such as overwriting config
-- **Mode preference** - Prefer local mode to avoid network-related issues
-- **Template requirement** - The final report must use the matching template under `templates/`; do not output a free-form summary instead of the template-based report
-- **Report clarity** - The execution summary must include the overall pass/fail conclusion plus per-case result explanations, and frontend smoke check results must be listed explicitly in the report
-- **Optional phase handling** - If functional verification is not executed, do not present it as a separate skipped phase in the final report
-
-## Known Acceptable Warnings
-
-The following warnings can appear during smoke testing and do not block a successful result:
-- Feishu/Lark SSL errors in Gateway logs (certificate verification failure) can be ignored if that channel is not enabled
-- Warnings in LangGraph logs about missing methods in the custom checkpointer, such as `adelete_for_runs` or `aprune`, do not affect the core functionality
-
-## Key Tools
-
-Use the following tools during execution:
-
-1. **bash** - Run shell commands
-2. **present_file** - Show generated reports and important files
-3. **task_tool** - Organize complex steps with subtasks when needed
-

-# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
-
-## Our Pledge
-
-We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
-community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
-size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
-identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
-nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity
-and orientation.
-
-We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
-diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
-
-## Our Standards
-
-Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
-community include:
-
-* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
-* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
-* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
-* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
-  and learning from the experience
-* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the
-  overall community
-
-Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
-
-* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or
-  advances of any kind
-* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
-* Public or private harassment
-* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email
-  address, without their explicit permission
-* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
-  professional setting
-
-## Enforcement Responsibilities
-
-Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
-acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
-response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
-or harmful.
-
-Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
-comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
-not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
-decisions when appropriate.
-
-## Scope
-
-This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
-an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
-Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address,
-posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
-representative at an online or offline event.
-
-## Enforcement
-
-Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
-reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at
-willem.jiang@gmail.com.
-All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
-
-All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
-reporter of any incident.
-
-## Enforcement Guidelines
-
-Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
-the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
-
-### 1. Correction
-
-**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
-unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
-
-**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
-clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
-behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
-
-### 2. Warning
-
-**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series
-of actions.
-
-**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
-interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
-those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
-includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
-like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or
-permanent ban.
-
-### 3. Temporary Ban
-
-**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
-sustained inappropriate behavior.
-
-**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
-communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
-private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
-with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
-Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
-
-### 4. Permanent Ban
-
-**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
-standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior,  harassment of an
-individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
-
-**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within
-the community.

-
-| Scenario | Starting point | Recommended | Notes |
-|---------|-----------|------------|-------|
-| `make dev` on one machine | 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM | 8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM | Best when DeerFlow uses hosted model APIs. |
-| `make docker-start` review environment | 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM | 8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM | Docker image builds and sandbox containers need extra headroom. |
-| Shared Linux test server | 8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM | 16 vCPU, 32 GB RAM | Prefer this for heavier multi-agent runs or multiple reviewers. |

 #### Linux: Docker daemon permission denied
 
 If `make docker-init`, `make docker-start`, or `make docker-stop` fails on Linux with an error like below, your current user likely does not have permission to access the Docker daemon socket:

+unable to get image 'deer-flow-dev-langgraph': permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock

 ### Running the Application
 
-#### Deployment Sizing
-
-Use the table below as a practical starting point when choosing how to run DeerFlow:
-
-| Deployment target | Starting point | Recommended | Notes |
-|---------|-----------|------------|-------|
-| Local evaluation / `make dev` | 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 20 GB free SSD | 8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM | Good for one developer or one light session with hosted model APIs. `2 vCPU / 4 GB` is usually not enough. |
-| Docker development / `make docker-start` | 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 25 GB free SSD | 8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM | Image builds, bind mounts, and sandbox containers need more headroom than pure local dev. |
-| Long-running server / `make up` | 8 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 40 GB free SSD | 16 vCPU, 32 GB RAM | Preferred for shared use, multi-agent runs, report generation, or heavier sandbox workloads. |
-
-- These numbers cover DeerFlow itself. If you also host a local LLM, size that service separately.
-- Linux plus Docker is the recommended deployment target for a persistent server. macOS and Windows are best treated as development or evaluation environments.
-- If CPU or memory usage stays pinned, reduce concurrent runs first, then move to the next sizing tier.

-Gateway owns `/api/langgraph/*` and translates those public LangGraph-compatible paths to its native `/api/*` routers behind nginx.
+> **Gateway mode** eliminates the LangGraph server process — the Gateway API handles agent execution directly via async tasks, managing its own concurrency.
+
+#### Why Gateway Mode?
+
+In standard mode, DeerFlow runs a dedicated [LangGraph Platform](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/) server alongside the Gateway API. This architecture works well but has trade-offs:
+
+| | Standard Mode | Gateway Mode |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Architecture** | Gateway (REST API) + LangGraph (agent runtime) | Gateway embeds agent runtime |
+| **Concurrency** | `--n-jobs-per-worker` per worker (requires license) | `--workers` × async tasks (no per-worker cap) |
+| **Containers / Processes** | 4 (frontend, gateway, langgraph, nginx) | 3 (frontend, gateway, nginx) |
+| **Resource usage** | Higher (two Python runtimes) | Lower (single Python runtime) |
+| **LangGraph Platform license** | Required for production images | Not required |
+| **Cold start** | Slower (two services to initialize) | Faster |
+
+Both modes are functionally equivalent — the same agents, tools, and skills work in either mode.

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

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

 ### Sandbox System (`packages/harness/deerflow/sandbox/`)
 
 **Interface**: Abstract `Sandbox` with `execute_command`, `read_file`, `write_file`, `list_dir`
 **Provider Pattern**: `SandboxProvider` with `acquire`, `get`, `release` lifecycle
 **Implementations**:
-- `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`.
+- `LocalSandboxProvider` - Singleton local filesystem execution with path mappings
 - `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: `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)
+- Physical: `backend/.deer-flow/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"`
 
 **Sandbox Tools** (in `packages/harness/deerflow/sandbox/tools.py`):
 - `bash` - Execute commands with path translation and error handling
 - `ls` - Directory listing (tree format, max 2 levels)
 - `read_file` - Read file contents with optional line range
-- `write_file` - Write/append to files, creates directories; overwrites by default and exposes the `append` argument in the model-facing schema for end-of-file writes
+- `write_file` - Write/append to files, creates directories
 - `str_replace` - Substring replacement (single or all occurrences); same-path serialization is scoped to `(sandbox.id, path)` so isolated sandboxes do not contend on identical virtual paths inside one process

 ## 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。

-# 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 | `deerflow.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 use internal Gateway auth | Verify Feishu/Slack/Telegram dispatchers attach the process-local internal auth header plus CSRF cookie/header when calling Gateway-compatible LangGraph APIs | needs `docker logs` |
-| TC-DOCKER-05 | Reset credentials surfacing | `reset_admin` writes a 0600 credential file in `DEER_FLOW_HOME` instead of logging plaintext. The file-based behavior is validated by non-Docker reset tests, 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 use internal auth) | Code-level: `app/channels/manager.py` creates the `langgraph_sdk` client with `create_internal_auth_headers()` plus CSRF cookie/header, so channel workers do not rely on browser cookies |
-| TC-DOCKER-05 (credential surfacing) | `reset_admin` writes `.deer-flow/admin_initial_credentials.txt` with mode 0600 and logs only the path — 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.

 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

+# 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。
+

+### 3.5 Workspace 配置
+
+`backend/pyproject.toml`（workspace root）：
+
+```toml
+[project]
+name = "deer-flow"
+version = "0.1.0"
+requires-python = ">=3.12"
+dependencies = ["deerflow-harness"]
+
+[dependency-groups]
+dev = ["pytest>=8.0.0", "ruff>=0.14.11"]
+# App 的额外依赖（fastapi 等）也声明在 workspace root，因为 app 不打包
+app = ["fastapi", "uvicorn", "sse-starlette", "python-multipart"]
+channels = ["lark-oapi", "slack-sdk", "python-telegram-bot"]
+
+[tool.uv.workspace]
+members = ["packages/harness"]
+
+[tool.uv.sources]
+deerflow-harness = { workspace = true }
+```
+
+## 4. 当前的跨层依赖问题
+
+在拆分之前，需要先解决 `client.py` 中两处从 harness 到 app 的反向依赖：
+
+### 4.1 `_validate_skill_frontmatter`
+
+```python
+# client.py — harness 导入了 app 层代码
+from src.gateway.routers.skills import _validate_skill_frontmatter
+```
+
+**解决方案**：将该函数提取到 `deerflow/skills/validation.py`。这是一个纯逻辑函数（解析 YAML frontmatter、校验字段），与 FastAPI 无关。
+
+### 4.2 `CONVERTIBLE_EXTENSIONS` + `convert_file_to_markdown`
+
+```python
+# client.py — harness 导入了 app 层代码
+from src.gateway.routers.uploads import CONVERTIBLE_EXTENSIONS, convert_file_to_markdown
+```
+
+**解决方案**：将它们提取到 `deerflow/utils/file_conversion.py`。仅依赖 `markitdown` + `pathlib`，是通用工具函数。
+
+## 5. 基础设施变更
+
+### 5.1 LangGraph Server
+
+LangGraph Server 只需要 harness 包。`langgraph.json` 更新：
+
+```json
+{
+  "dependencies": ["./packages/harness"],
+  "graphs": {
+    "lead_agent": "deerflow.agents:make_lead_agent"
+  },
+  "checkpointer": {
+    "path": "./packages/harness/deerflow/agents/checkpointer/async_provider.py:make_checkpointer"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 5.2 Gateway API
+
+```bash
+# serve.sh / Makefile
+# PYTHONPATH 包含 backend/ 根目录，使 app.* 和 deerflow.* 都能被找到
+PYTHONPATH=. uvicorn app.gateway.app:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8001
+```
+
+### 5.3 Nginx
+
+无需变更（只做 URL 路由，不涉及 Python 模块路径）。
+
+### 5.4 Docker
+
+Dockerfile 中的 module 引用从 `src.` 改为 `deerflow.` / `app.`，`COPY` 命令需覆盖 `packages/` 和 `app/` 目录。
+
+## 6. 实施计划
+
+分 3 个 PR 递进执行：
+
+### PR 1：提取共享工具函数（Low Risk）
+
+1. 创建 `src/skills/validation.py`，从 `gateway/routers/skills.py` 提取 `_validate_skill_frontmatter`
+2. 创建 `src/utils/file_conversion.py`，从 `gateway/routers/uploads.py` 提取文件转换逻辑
+3. 更新 `client.py`、`gateway/routers/skills.py`、`gateway/routers/uploads.py` 的 import
+4. 运行全部测试确认无回归
+
+### PR 2：Rename + 物理拆分（High Risk，原子操作）
+
+1. 创建 `packages/harness/` 目录，创建 `pyproject.toml`
+2. `git mv` 将 harness 相关模块从 `src/` 移入 `packages/harness/deerflow/`
+3. `git mv` 将 app 相关模块从 `src/` 移入 `app/`
+4. 全局替换 import：
+   - harness 模块：`src.*` → `deerflow.*`（所有 `.py` 文件、`langgraph.json`、测试、文档）
+   - app 模块：`src.gateway.*` → `app.gateway.*`、`src.channels.*` → `app.channels.*`
+5. 更新 workspace root `pyproject.toml`
+6. 更新 `langgraph.json`、`Makefile`、`Dockerfile`
+7. `uv sync` + 全部测试 + 手动验证服务启动
+
+### PR 3：边界检查 + 文档（Low Risk）
+
+1. 添加 lint 规则：检查 harness 不 import app 模块
+2. 更新 `CLAUDE.md`、`README.md`
+
+## 7. 风险与缓解
+
+| 风险 | 影响 | 缓解措施 |
+|------|------|----------|
+| 全局 rename 误伤 | 字符串中的 `src` 被错误替换 | 正则精确匹配 `\bsrc\.`，review diff |
+| LangGraph Server 找不到模块 | 服务启动失败 | `langgraph.json` 的 `dependencies` 指向正确的 harness 包路径 |
+| App 的 `PYTHONPATH` 缺失 | Gateway/Channel 启动 import 报错 | Makefile/Docker 统一设置 `PYTHONPATH=.` |
+| `config.yaml` 中的 `use` 字段引用旧路径 | 运行时模块解析失败 | `config.yaml` 中的 `use` 字段同步更新为 `deerflow.*` |
+| 测试中 `sys.path` 混乱 | 测试失败 | 用 editable install（`uv sync`）确保 deerflow 可导入，`conftest.py` 中添加 `app/` 到 `sys.path` |
+
+## 8. 未来演进
+
+- **独立发布**：harness 可以发布到内部 PyPI，让其他项目直接 `pip install deerflow-harness`
+- **插件化 App**：不同的 app（web、CLI、bot）可以各自独立，都依赖同一个 harness
+- **更细粒度拆分**：如果 harness 内部模块继续增长，可以进一步拆分（如 `deerflow-sandbox`、`deerflow-mcp`）

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

-# DeerFlow 流式输出设计
-
-本文档解释 DeerFlow 是如何把 LangGraph agent 的事件流端到端送到两类消费者（HTTP 客户端、嵌入式 Python 调用方）的：两条路径为什么**必须**并存、它们各自的契约是什么、以及设计里那些 non-obvious 的不变式。
-
----
-
-## TL;DR
-
-- DeerFlow 有**两条并行**的流式路径：**Gateway 路径**（async / HTTP SSE / JSON 序列化）服务浏览器和 IM 渠道；**DeerFlowClient 路径**（sync / in-process / 原生 LangChain 对象）服务 Jupyter、脚本、测试。它们**无法合并**——消费者模型不同。
-- 两条路径都从 `create_agent()` 工厂出发，核心都是订阅 LangGraph 的 `stream_mode=["values", "messages", "custom"]`。`values` 是节点级 state 快照，`messages` 是 LLM token 级 delta，`custom` 是显式 `StreamWriter` 事件。**这三种模式不是详细程度的梯度，是三个独立的事件源**，要 token 流就必须显式订阅 `messages`。
-- 嵌入式 client 为每个 `stream()` 调用维护三个 `set[str]`：`seen_ids` / `streamed_ids` / `counted_usage_ids`。三者看起来相似但管理**三个独立的不变式**，不能合并。
-
----
-
-## 为什么有两条流式路径
-
-两条路径服务的消费者模型根本不同：
-
-| 维度 | Gateway 路径 | DeerFlowClient 路径 |
-|---|---|---|
-| 入口 | FastAPI `/runs/stream` endpoint | `DeerFlowClient.stream(message)` |
-| 触发层 | `runtime/runs/worker.py::run_agent` | `packages/harness/deerflow/client.py::DeerFlowClient.stream` |
-| 执行模型 | `async def` + `agent.astream()` | sync generator + `agent.stream()` |
-| 事件传输 | `StreamBridge`（asyncio Queue）+ `sse_consumer` | 直接 `yield` |
-| 序列化 | `serialize(chunk)` → 纯 JSON dict，匹配 LangGraph Platform wire 格式 | `StreamEvent.data`，携带原生 LangChain 对象 |
-| 消费者 | 前端 `useStream` React hook、飞书/Slack/Telegram channel、LangGraph SDK 客户端 | Jupyter notebook、集成测试、内部 Python 脚本 |
-| 生命周期管理 | `RunManager`：run_id 跟踪、disconnect 语义、multitask 策略、heartbeat | 无；函数返回即结束 |
-| 断连恢复 | `Last-Event-ID` SSE 重连 | 无需要 |
-
-**两条路径的存在是 DRY 的刻意妥协**：Gateway 的全部基础设施（async + Queue + JSON + RunManager）**都是为了跨网络边界把事件送给 HTTP 消费者**。当生产者（agent）和消费者（Python 调用栈）在同一个进程时，这整套东西都是纯开销。
-
-### 为什么不能让 DeerFlowClient 复用 Gateway
-
-曾经考虑过三种复用方案，都被否决：
-
-1. **让 `client.stream()` 变成 `async def client.astream()`**  
-   breaking change。用户用不上的 `async for` / `asyncio.run()` 要硬塞进 Jupyter notebook 和同步脚本。DeerFlowClient 的一大卖点（"把 agent 当普通函数调用"）直接消失。
-
-2. **在 `client.stream()` 内部起一个独立事件循环线程，用 `StreamBridge` 在 sync/async 之间做桥接**  
-   引入线程池、队列、信号量。为了"消除重复"，把**复杂度**代替代码行数引进来。是典型的"wrong abstraction"——开销高于复用收益。
-
-3. **让 `run_agent` 自己兼容 sync mode**  
-   给 Gateway 加一条用不到的死分支，污染 worker.py 的焦点。
-
-所以两条路径的事件处理逻辑会**相似但不共享**。这是刻意设计，不是疏忽。
-

-## LangGraph `stream_mode` 三层语义
-
-LangGraph 的 `agent.stream(stream_mode=[...])` 是**多路复用**接口：一次订阅多个 mode，每个 mode 是一个独立的事件源。三种核心 mode：

-
-| Mode | 发射时机 | Payload | 粒度 |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| `values` | 每个 graph 节点完成后 | 完整 state dict（title、messages、artifacts）| 节点级 |
-| `messages` | LLM 每次 yield 一个 chunk；tool 节点完成时 | `(AIMessageChunk \| ToolMessage, metadata_dict)` | token 级 |
-| `custom` | 用户代码显式调用 `StreamWriter.write()` | 任意 dict | 应用定义 |
-
-### 两套命名的由来
-
-同一件事在**三个协议层**有三个名字：
-
-```
-Application                    HTTP / SSE                    LangGraph Graph

-└──────────────┘               └──────────────┘              └──────────────┘
-```
-
-- **Graph 层**（`agent.stream` / `agent.astream`）：LangGraph Python 直接 API，mode 叫 **`"messages"`**。
-- **Platform SDK 层**（`langgraph-sdk` HTTP client）：跨进程 HTTP 契约，mode 叫 **`"messages-tuple"`**。
-- **Gateway worker** 显式做翻译：`if m == "messages-tuple": lg_modes.append("messages")`（`runtime/runs/worker.py:117-121`）。
-
-**后果**：`DeerFlowClient.stream()` 直接调 `agent.stream()`（Graph 层），所以必须传 `"messages"`。`app/channels/manager.py` 通过 `langgraph-sdk` 走 HTTP SDK，所以传 `"messages-tuple"`。**这两个字符串不能互相替代**，也不能抽成"一个共享常量"——它们是不同协议层的 type alias，共享只会让某一层说不是它母语的话。

-        end
-    end
-```
-
-关键组件：
-
-- `runtime/runs/worker.py::run_agent` — 在 `asyncio.Task` 里跑 `agent.astream()`，把每个 chunk 通过 `serialize(chunk, mode=mode)` 转成 JSON，再 `bridge.publish()`。
-- `runtime/stream_bridge` — 抽象 Queue。`publish/subscribe` 解耦生产者和消费者，支持 `Last-Event-ID` 重连、心跳、多订阅者 fan-out。
-- `app/gateway/services.py::sse_consumer` — 从 bridge 订阅，格式化为 SSE wire 帧。
-- `runtime/serialization.py::serialize` — mode-aware 序列化；`messages` mode 下 `serialize_messages_tuple` 把 `(chunk, metadata)` 转成 `[chunk.model_dump(), metadata]`。
-
-**`StreamBridge` 的存在价值**：当生产者（`run_agent` 任务）和消费者（HTTP 连接）在不同的 asyncio task 里运行时，需要一个可以跨 task 传递事件的中介。Queue 同时还承担断连重连的 buffer 和多订阅者的 fan-out。
-

-## DeerFlowClient 路径：sync + in-process
-
-```mermaid
-sequenceDiagram
-    participant User as Python caller
-    participant Client as DeerFlowClient.stream
-    participant Agent as LangGraph<br/>agent.stream (sync)
-
-    User->>Client: for event in client.stream("hi"):
-    Client->>Agent: stream(stream_mode=["values","messages","custom"])
-    loop 每个 chunk
-        Agent-->>Client: (mode, chunk)
-        Client->>Client: 分发 mode<br/>构建 StreamEvent
-        Client-->>User: yield StreamEvent
-    end
-    Client-->>User: yield StreamEvent(type="end")
-```
-
-对比之下，sync 路径的每个环节都是显著更少的移动部件：
-
-- 没有 `RunManager` —— 一次 `stream()` 调用对应一次生命周期，无需 run_id。
-- 没有 `StreamBridge` —— 直接 `yield`，生产和消费在同一个 Python 调用栈，不需要跨 task 中介。
-- 没有 JSON 序列化 —— `StreamEvent.data` 直接装原生 LangChain 对象（`AIMessage.content`、`usage_metadata` 的 `UsageMetadata` TypedDict）。Jupyter 用户拿到的是真正的类型，不是匿名 dict。
-- 没有 asyncio —— 调用者可以直接 `for event in ...`，不必写 `async for`。
-
----
-
-## 消费语义：delta vs cumulative
-
-LangGraph `messages` mode 给出的是 **delta**：每个 `AIMessageChunk.content` 只包含这一次新 yield 的 token，**不是**从头的累计文本。
-
-这个语义和 LangChain 的 `fs2 Stream` 风格一致：**上游发增量，下游负责累加**。Gateway 路径里前端 `useStream` React hook 自己维护累加器；DeerFlowClient 路径里 `chat()` 方法替调用者做累加。
-
-### `DeerFlowClient.chat()` 的 O(n) 累加器
-
-```python
-chunks: dict[str, list[str]] = {}
-last_id: str = ""
-for event in self.stream(message, thread_id=thread_id, **kwargs):
-    if event.type == "messages-tuple" and event.data.get("type") == "ai":
-        msg_id = event.data.get("id") or ""
-        delta = event.data.get("content", "")
-        if delta:
-            chunks.setdefault(msg_id, []).append(delta)
-            last_id = msg_id
-return "".join(chunks.get(last_id, ()))
-```
-
-**为什么不是 `buffers[id] = buffers.get(id,"") + delta`**：CPython 的字符串 in-place concat 优化仅在 refcount=1 且 LHS 是 local name 时生效；这里字符串存在 dict 里被 reassign，优化失效，每次都是 O(n) 拷贝 → 总体 O(n²)。实测 50 KB / 5000 chunk 的回复要 100-300ms 纯拷贝开销。用 `list` + `"".join()` 是 O(n)。
-
----
-
-## 三个 id set 为什么不能合并
-
-`DeerFlowClient.stream()` 在一次调用生命周期内维护三个 `set[str]`：
-
-```python
-seen_ids: set[str] = set()           # values 路径内部 dedup
-streamed_ids: set[str] = set()       # messages → values 跨模式 dedup
-counted_usage_ids: set[str] = set()  # usage_metadata 幂等计数
-```
-
-乍看像是"三份几乎一样的东西"，实际每个管**不同的不变式**。
-
-| Set | 负责的不变式 | 被谁填充 | 被谁查询 |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| `seen_ids` | 连续两个 `values` 快照里同一条 message 只生成一个 `messages-tuple` 事件 | values 分支每处理一条消息就加入 | values 分支处理下一条消息前检查 |
-| `streamed_ids` | 如果一条消息已经通过 `messages` 模式 token 级流过，values 快照到达时**不要**再合成一次完整 `messages-tuple` | messages 分支每发一个 AI/tool 事件就加入 | values 分支看到消息时检查 |
-| `counted_usage_ids` | 同一个 `usage_metadata` 在 messages 末尾 chunk 和 values 快照的 final AIMessage 里各带一份，**累计总量只算一次** | `_account_usage()` 每次接受 usage 就加入 | `_account_usage()` 每次调用时检查 |
-
-### 为什么不能只用一个 set
-
-关键观察：**同一个 message id 在这三个 set 里的加入时机不同**。
-
-```mermaid

-    participant V as values mode

-- `seen_ids` **永远在 values 快照到达时**加入，所以它是 "values 已处理" 的标记。一条只出现在 messages 流里的消息（罕见但可能），`seen_ids` 里永远没有它。
-- `streamed_ids` **在 messages 流的第一个有效事件时**加入。一条只通过 values 快照到达的非 AI 消息（HumanMessage、被 truncate 的 tool 消息），`streamed_ids` 里永远没有它。
-- `counted_usage_ids` **只在看到非空 `usage_metadata` 时**加入。一条完全没有 usage 的消息（tool message、错误消息）永远不会进去。
-
-**集合包含关系**：`counted_usage_ids ⊆ (streamed_ids ∪ seen_ids)` 大致成立，但**不是严格子集**，因为一条消息可以在 messages 模式流完 text 但**在最后那个带 usage 的 chunk 之前**就被 values snapshot 赶上——此时它已经在 `streamed_ids` 里，但还不在 `counted_usage_ids` 里。把它们合并成一个 dict-of-flags 会让这个微妙的时序依赖**从类型系统里消失**，变成注释里的一句话。三个独立的 set 把不变式显式化了：每个 set 名对应一个可以口头回答的问题。

-## 端到端：一次真实对话的事件时序
-
-假设调用 `client.stream("Count from 1 to 15")`，LLM 给出 "one\ntwo\n...\nfifteen"（88 字符），tokenizer 把它拆成 ~35 个 BPE chunk。下面是事件到达序列的精简版：
-
-```mermaid
-sequenceDiagram
-    participant U as User
-    participant C as DeerFlowClient
-    participant A as LangGraph<br/>agent.stream
-
-    U->>C: stream("Count ... 15")
-    C->>A: stream(mode=["values","messages","custom"])
-
-    A-->>C: ("values", {messages: [HumanMessage]})
-    C-->>U: StreamEvent(type="values", ...)
-
-    Note over A,C: LLM 开始 yield token
-    loop 35 次，约 476ms
-        A-->>C: ("messages", (AIMessageChunk(content="ele"), meta))
-        C->>C: streamed_ids.add(ai-1)
-        C-->>U: StreamEvent(type="messages-tuple",<br/>data={type:ai, content:"ele", id:ai-1})
-    end
-
-    Note over A: LLM finish_reason=stop，最后一个 chunk 带 usage
-    A-->>C: ("messages", (AIMessageChunk(content="", usage_metadata={...}), meta))
-    C->>C: counted_usage_ids.add(ai-1)<br/>(无文本，不 yield)
-
-    A-->>C: ("values", {messages: [..., AIMessage(complete)]})
-    C->>C: ai-1 in streamed_ids → 跳过合成
-    C->>C: 捕获 usage (已在 counted_usage_ids，no-op)
-    C-->>U: StreamEvent(type="values", ...)
-
-    C-->>U: StreamEvent(type="end", data={usage:{...}})
-```
-
-关键观察：
-
-1. 用户看到 **35 个 messages-tuple 事件**，跨越约 476ms，每个事件带一个 token delta 和同一个 `id=ai-1`。
-2. 最后一个 `values` 快照里的 `AIMessage` **不会**再触发一个完整的 `messages-tuple` 事件——因为 `ai-1 in streamed_ids` 跳过了合成。
-3. `end` 事件里的 `usage` 正好等于那一份 cumulative usage，**不是它的两倍**——`counted_usage_ids` 在 messages 末尾 chunk 上已经吸收了，values 分支的重复访问是 no-op。
-4. 消费者拿到的 `content` 是**增量**："ele" 只包含 3 个字符，不是 "one\ntwo\n...ele"。想要完整文本要按 `id` 累加，`chat()` 已经帮你做了。
-
----
-
-## 为什么这个设计容易出 bug，以及测试策略
-
-本文档的直接起因是 bytedance/deer-flow#1969：`DeerFlowClient.stream()` 原本只订阅 `["values", "custom"]`，**漏了 `"messages"`**。结果 `client.stream("hello")` 等价于一次性返回，视觉上和 `chat()` 没区别。
-
-这类 bug 有三个结构性原因：
-
-1. **多协议层命名**：`messages` / `messages-tuple` / HTTP SSE `messages` 是同一概念的三个名字。在其中一层出错不会在另外两层报错。
-2. **多消费者模型**：Gateway 和 DeerFlowClient 是两套独立实现，**没有单一的"订阅哪些 mode"的 single source of truth**。前者订阅对了不代表后者也订阅对了。
-3. **mock 测试绕开了真实路径**：老测试用 `agent.stream.return_value = iter([dict_chunk, ...])` 喂 values 形状的 dict 模拟 state 快照。这样构造的输入**永远不会进入 `messages` mode 分支**，所以即使 `stream_mode` 里少一个元素，CI 依然全绿。
-
-### 防御手段
-
-真正的防线是**显式断言 "messages" mode 被订阅 + 用真实 chunk shape mock**：
-
-```python
-# tests/test_client.py::test_messages_mode_emits_token_deltas
-agent.stream.return_value = iter([
-    ("messages", (AIMessageChunk(content="Hel", id="ai-1"), {})),
-    ("messages", (AIMessageChunk(content="lo ", id="ai-1"), {})),
-    ("messages", (AIMessageChunk(content="world!", id="ai-1"), {})),
-    ("values", {"messages": [HumanMessage(...), AIMessage(content="Hello world!", id="ai-1")]}),
-])
-# ...
-assert [e.data["content"] for e in ai_text_events] == ["Hel", "lo ", "world!"]
-assert len(ai_text_events) == 3  # values snapshot must NOT re-synthesize
-assert "messages" in agent.stream.call_args.kwargs["stream_mode"]
-```
-
-**为什么这比"抽一个共享常量"更有效**：共享常量只能保证"用它的人写对字符串"，但新增消费者的人可能根本不知道常量在哪。行为断言强制任何改动都要穿过**实际执行路径**，改回 `["values", "custom"]` 会立刻让 `assert "messages" in ...` 失败。
-
-### 活体信号：BPE 子词边界
-
-回归的最终验证是让真实 LLM 数 1-15，然后看是否能在输出里看到 tokenizer 的子词切分：
-
-```
-[5.460s] 'ele' / 'ven'      eleven 被拆成两个 token
-[5.508s] 'tw'  / 'elve'     twelve 拆两个
-[5.568s] 'th'  / 'irteen'   thirteen 拆两个
-[5.623s] 'four'/ 'teen'     fourteen 拆两个
-[5.677s] 'f'   / 'if' / 'teen'  fifteen 拆三个
-```
-
-子词切分是 tokenizer 的外部事实，**无法伪造**。能看到它就说明数据流**逐 chunk** 地穿过了整条管道，没有被任何中间层缓冲成整段。这种"活体信号"在流式系统里是比单元测试更高置信度的证据。
