-# Declarative label source of truth for DeerFlow.

-# This file is the single source of truth for repository labels used by the
-# auto-labeling workflows (.github/workflows/pr-labeler.yml, pr-triage.yml,
-# issue-triage.yml). Auto-labelers can only apply labels that already exist,
-# so every label referenced by a workflow MUST be declared here.
-#
-# Apply with:  uv run --with pyyaml python scripts/sync_labels.py [--repo OWNER/NAME]
-# CI keeps it in sync via .github/workflows/label-sync.yml (runs on changes here).

-# Sync is additive/update-only: it creates or updates the labels listed below
-# and never deletes labels that are not listed.

-# Color = 6-digit hex without the leading '#'.

-<!-- Reference a related issue with #123. Use Fixes / Closes / Resolves to
-     auto-close it on merge. Delete this line if the PR doesn't reference an issue. -->
-Fixes #
-
-## Why
-
-<!-- Why are you opening this PR? Cover two things:
-       - The trigger — what made you write this? A bug you hit, a feature you need,
-         tech debt, or a prod issue?
-       - The pain being addressed — user-facing problem, or what it unblocks.
-     For non-trivial features, please open an issue/discussion first to align on
-     scope before writing code. -->
-
-
-## What changed
-
-<!-- Describe the change from a user's / caller's perspective, not as a code diff. e.g.:
-       - "Settings now has a 'Custom endpoint' field, off by default"
-       - "Backend /api/chat gains a `stream` flag, defaults to false"
-       - "Default model changed from X to Y — existing users notice on first run" -->
-
-
-## Surface area
-
-<!-- Check every box that applies. Reviewers use this to scope the review. -->
-
-- [ ] **Frontend UI** — page / component / setting / interaction under `frontend/`
-- [ ] **Backend API** — endpoint / SSE event / request-response shape under `backend/app`
-- [ ] **Agents / LangGraph** — agent node, graph wiring, `langgraph.json`, or prompt change
-- [ ] **Sandbox** — `docker/` or sandboxed execution
-- [ ] **Skills** — change under `skills/`
-- [ ] **Dependencies** — new/upgraded entry in `backend/pyproject.toml` or `frontend/package.json` (say what it buys us)
-- [ ] **Default behavior change** — changes existing behavior without the user opting in (default model, default setting, data shape)
-- [ ] **Docs / tests / CI only** — no runtime behavior change
-
-
-## Screenshots / Recording
-
-<!-- If you checked "Frontend UI", attach screenshots showing the entry point —
-     where users discover the change — not just the feature in isolation.
-     Before/after is best for behavior changes. Short GIFs welcome. -->
-
-
-## Bug fix verification
-
-<!-- Skip (delete) this section if this PR is not a bug fix.
-
-     Bugs should be encoded as a failing test that goes red before the fix.
-     Confirm:
-       - Test path that reproduces the bug:
-       - Did it go red on `main` and green on this branch? (yes / no)
-       - If a red test wasn't cheap to write, explain why and what you did instead. -->
-
-
-## Validation
-
-<!-- What you actually ran. Run at least the checks for the area you changed:
-       Backend:   cd backend  && make lint && make test
-       Frontend:  cd frontend && pnpm format && pnpm lint && pnpm typecheck && BETTER_AUTH_SECRET=local-dev-secret pnpm build && make test
-       Frontend E2E (if you touched frontend/): cd frontend && make test-e2e -->
-
-
-## AI assistance
-
-<!-- DeerFlow is an AI project — most PRs here use AI coding tools, and that's
-     welcome. Disclosing it just helps reviewers calibrate how closely to read the
-     diff. Please fill all three; don't delete the section. -->
-
-**Tool(s) used:** <!-- e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Windsurf, or "none" -->
-
-**How you used it:** <!-- e.g. "generated the module from a spec", "autocomplete only",
-     "AI wrote tests, I wrote the impl". A prompt or conversation link is great too. -->
-
-- [ ] I've read and understand every line of this change and take responsibility for it — it's not unreviewed AI output.

-# Design notes:
-#   * All jobs are pure-metadata: they read changed-file lists / PR fields / the

-#     or executed, so pull_request_target is safe here.
-#   * Each job only reconciles labels in namespaces IT owns
-#     (area:* / size/* / risk:* / needs-validation). It never touches labels
-#     applied by maintainers or other tools (bug, priority, etc.). first-time-
-#     contributor and reviewing are add-only.
-#   * State is read LIVE (listFiles + listLabelsOnIssue) at run time, not from
-#     the (stale) event payload, so rapid synchronize events converge instead
-#     of thrashing.

-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 is how DeerFlow handles tasks that take minutes to hours: a research task might fan out into a dozen sub-agents, each exploring a different angle, then converge into a single report — or a website — or a slide deck with generated visuals. One harness, many hands.

 **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 detect-blocking-io`: it statically scans backend business code for
-blocking IO that may run on the backend event loop, prints a concise summary,
-and writes complete JSON findings to `.deer-flow/blocking-io-findings.json`.
-The JSON includes compact review records with `priority`, `location`,

 Gateway artifact serving now forces active web content types (`text/html`, `application/xhtml+xml`, `image/svg+xml`) to download as attachments instead of inline rendering, reducing XSS risk for generated artifacts.

 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.

 **Config Caching**: `get_app_config()` caches the parsed config, but automatically reloads it when the resolved config path changes or the file's mtime increases. This keeps Gateway and LangGraph reads aligned with `config.yaml` edits without requiring a manual process restart.
 
-**Config Hot-Reload Boundary**: Gateway dependencies route through `get_app_config()` on every request, so per-run fields like `models[*].max_tokens`, `summarization.*`, `title.*`, `memory.*`, `subagents.*`, `tools[*]`, and the agent system prompt pick up `config.yaml` edits on the next message. `AppConfig` is intentionally **not** cached on `app.state` — `lifespan()` keeps a local `startup_config` variable for one-shot bootstrap work and passes it to `langgraph_runtime(app, startup_config)`.

The authoritative list lives in `packages/harness/deerflow/config/reload_boundary.py::STARTUP_ONLY_FIELDS` and is mirrored by the standardised `"startup-only:"` prefix on the corresponding `Field(description=...)` in `AppConfig`, so IDE hover on those fields surfaces the reason inline (no need to context-switch into this table).

-- `cancel()` and `create_or_reject(..., multitask_strategy="interrupt"|"rollback")` persist interrupted status through `RunStore.update_status()`, matching normal `set_status()` transitions.
-- Store-only hydrated runs are readable history. If the current worker has no in-memory task/control state for that run, cancellation APIs can return 409 because this worker cannot stop the task.
-- `POST /wait` (both thread-scoped and `/api/runs/wait`) drains the stream bridge via `wait_for_run_completion()` instead of bare `await record.task`, so it honours the run's `on_disconnect` setting and cancels the background run on real client disconnect rather than returning a stale checkpoint (issue #3265).

 ### Sandbox System (`packages/harness/deerflow/sandbox/`)
 
 **Interface**: Abstract `Sandbox` with `execute_command`, `read_file`, `write_file`, `list_dir`
-**Provider Pattern**: `SandboxProvider` with `acquire`, `acquire_async`, `get`, `release` lifecycle. Async agent/tool paths call async sandbox lifecycle hooks so Docker sandbox creation, discovery, cross-process locking, readiness polling, and release stay off the event loop.
+**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

-### Tracing System (`packages/harness/deerflow/tracing/`)
-
-LangSmith and Langfuse are both supported. The wiring lives in two layers:
-
-- `factory.py::build_tracing_callbacks()` — returns the LangChain `CallbackHandler` list for the providers currently enabled via env vars (`LANGSMITH_TRACING`, `LANGFUSE_TRACING`, etc.). The handlers are attached at the **graph invocation root** for in-graph runs (`make_lead_agent` and `DeerFlowClient.stream` both append them to `config["callbacks"]` before invoking the graph) so a single run produces one trace with all node / LLM / tool calls as child spans. Standalone callers — anything that invokes a model outside such a graph (e.g. `MemoryUpdater`) — keep `create_chat_model`'s default `attach_tracing=True`, which falls back to model-level callback attachment.
-- `metadata.py::build_langfuse_trace_metadata()` — builds the Langfuse-reserved trace attributes for `RunnableConfig.metadata`. The Langfuse v4 `langchain.CallbackHandler` lifts these onto the root trace (see its `_parse_langfuse_trace_attributes`), but only when it sees `on_chain_start(parent_run_id=None)` — which is why the callbacks have to live at the graph root, not the model.
-
-**Trace-attribute injection points**: both `runtime/runs/worker.py::run_agent` (gateway path) and `client.py::DeerFlowClient.stream` (embedded path) merge the metadata into `config["metadata"]` right before constructing the graph. Caller-supplied keys win via `setdefault`, so an external `session_id` override is preserved. Field mapping:

-| Langfuse field         | Source                                       |

-| `langfuse_tags`       | `env:<DEER_FLOW_ENV>` + `model:<model_name>`  |

-- `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 | Docker deploy uses Gateway embedded runtime | `./scripts/deploy.sh` produces a Gateway + frontend + nginx topology (no `langgraph` container); same auth flow as local `make dev` | needs `docker compose up` |
-
-## 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 embedded runtime container) | Section 七 7.2 covered by TC-GW-01..05 + Section 二 (Gateway auth flow on sg_dev) — same Gateway code, container is just a packaging change |
-
-## Reproduction steps when Docker becomes available
-
-Anyone with `docker` + `docker compose` installed can reproduce the gap by
-running the test plan section verbatim. Pre-flight:
-
-```bash
-# Required on the host
-docker --version           # >=24.x
-docker compose version     # plugin >=2.x
-
-# Required env var (otherwise sessions reset on every container restart)
-echo "AUTH_JWT_SECRET=$(python3 -c 'import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(32))')" \
-  >> .env
-
-# Optional: pin DEER_FLOW_HOME to a stable host path
-echo "DEER_FLOW_HOME=$HOME/deer-flow-data" >> .env
-```
-
-Then run TC-DOCKER-01..06 from the test plan as written.
-
-## Decision log
-
-- **Not blocking the release.** The auth-relevant behavior in every Docker
-  case has an already-validated equivalent on bare metal. The gap is purely
-  about *container packaging* details (bind mounts, multi-worker, log
-  collection), not about whether the auth code paths work.
-- **TC-DOCKER-05 was updated in place** in `AUTH_TEST_PLAN.md` to reflect
-  the current reset flow (`reset_admin` → 0600 credentials file, no log leak).
-  The old "grep 'Password:' in docker logs" expectation would have failed
-  silently and given a false sense of coverage.

-# Authentication Upgrade Guide
-
-DeerFlow 内置了认证模块。本文档面向从无认证版本升级的用户。
-
-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
-- 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
-
-## 升级步骤
-
-### 1. 更新代码
-
-```bash
-git pull origin main
-cd backend && make install
-```
-
-### 2. 首次启动
-
-```bash
-make dev
-```
-
-如果没有 admin 账号，控制台只会提示：
-
-```
-============================================================
-  First boot detected — no admin account exists.
-  Visit /setup to complete admin account creation.
-============================================================
-```
-
-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。
-
-### 3. 创建 admin
-
-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。
-
-如果这是从无认证版本升级，创建 admin 后重启一次服务，让启动迁移把缺少 `user_id` 的历史 thread 归属到 admin。
-
-### 4. 登录
-
-后续访问 `http://localhost:2026/login`，使用已创建的邮箱和密码登录。
-
-### 5. 添加用户（可选）
-
-其他用户通过 `/login` 页面注册，自动获得 **user** 角色。每个用户只能看到自己的对话、上传文件、输出文件、memory 和自定义 agent。
-
-## 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 |
-| 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 |
-| HTTPS 自适应 | 检测 `x-forwarded-proto`，自动设置 `Secure` cookie 标志 |
-
-## 常见操作
-
-### 忘记密码
-
-```bash
-cd backend
-
-# 重置 admin 密码
-python -m app.gateway.auth.reset_admin
-
-# 重置指定用户密码
-python -m app.gateway.auth.reset_admin --email user@example.com
-```
-
-会把新的随机密码写入 `.deer-flow/admin_initial_credentials.txt`，文件权限为 `0600`。命令行只输出文件路径，不输出明文密码。
-
-### 完全重置
-
-删除统一 SQLite 数据库，重启后重新访问 `/setup` 创建新 admin：
-
-```bash
-rm -f backend/.deer-flow/data/deerflow.db
-# 重启服务后访问 http://localhost:2026/setup
-```
-
-## 数据存储
-
-| 文件 | 内容 |
-|------|------|
-| `.deer-flow/data/deerflow.db` | 统一 SQLite 数据库（users、threads_meta、runs、feedback 等应用数据） |
-| `.deer-flow/users/{user_id}/threads/{thread_id}/user-data/` | 用户线程的 workspace、uploads、outputs |
-| `.deer-flow/users/{user_id}/memory.json` | 用户级 memory |
-| `.deer-flow/users/{user_id}/agents/{agent_name}/` | 用户自定义 agent 配置、SOUL 和 agent memory |
-| `.deer-flow/admin_initial_credentials.txt` | `reset_admin` 生成的新凭据文件（0600，读完应删除） |
-| `.env` 中的 `AUTH_JWT_SECRET` | JWT 签名密钥（未设置时自动生成并持久化到 `.deer-flow/.jwt_secret`，重启后 session 保持） |
-
-### 生产环境建议
-
-```bash
-# 生成持久化 JWT 密钥，避免重启后所有用户需重新登录
-python -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(32))"
-# 将输出添加到 .env：
-# AUTH_JWT_SECRET=<生成的密钥>
-```
-
-## API 端点
-
-| 端点 | 方法 | 说明 |
-|------|------|------|
-| `/api/v1/auth/login/local` | POST | 邮箱密码登录（OAuth2 form） |
-| `/api/v1/auth/register` | POST | 注册新用户（user 角色） |
-| `/api/v1/auth/logout` | POST | 登出（清除 cookie） |
-| `/api/v1/auth/me` | GET | 获取当前用户信息 |
-| `/api/v1/auth/change-password` | POST | 修改密码 |
-| `/api/v1/auth/setup-status` | GET | 检查 admin 是否存在 |
-| `/api/v1/auth/initialize` | POST | 首次初始化第一个 admin（仅无 admin 时可调用） |
-
-## 兼容性
-
-- **本地开发**（`make dev`）：Gateway embedded runtime 完全兼容；无 admin 时访问 `/setup` 初始化
-- **Gateway embedded runtime**：标准脚本、Docker dev 和生产部署均通过 Gateway 提供认证与 LangGraph-compatible API
-- **Docker 部署**：完全兼容，`.deer-flow/data/deerflow.db` 需持久化卷挂载
-- **IM 渠道**（Feishu/Slack/Telegram）：通过 Gateway 内部认证通信，使用 `default` 用户桶
-- **DeerFlowClient**（嵌入式）：不经过 HTTP，不受认证影响
-
-## 故障排查
-
-| 症状 | 原因 | 解决 |
-|------|------|------|
-| 启动后没看到密码 | 当前实现不在启动日志输出密码 | 首次安装访问 `/setup`；忘记密码用 `reset_admin` |
-| `/login` 自动跳到 `/setup` | 系统还没有 admin | 在 `/setup` 创建第一个 admin |
-| 登录后 POST 返回 403 | CSRF token 缺失 | 确认前端已更新 |
-| 重启后需要重新登录 | `.jwt_secret` 文件被删除且 `.env` 未设置 `AUTH_JWT_SECRET` | 在 `.env` 中设置固定密钥 |

-# Blocking IO detection usage and maintenance
-
-This document describes how to use and maintain DeerFlow backend blocking-IO
-detection for async event-loop safety.
-
-The goal is narrow: find and prevent synchronous IO from blocking backend
-async event-loop paths. Static and runtime detection are complementary, but
-they have different jobs.
-
-## Static detector
-
-The static detector is the discovery tool. It scans backend source code and
-reports candidate blocking-IO call sites that may need human review.
-
-Run it from the repository root:
-
-```bash
-make detect-blocking-io
-```
-
-Or from `backend/`:
-
-```bash
-make detect-blocking-io
-```
-
-The report is written to:
-
-```text
-.deer-flow/blocking-io-findings.json
-```
-
-Use this output for review and triage. A static finding is a candidate, not
-proof that production blocks the event loop at runtime. The current static
-rules are intentionally broad; prefer triaging existing output before adding
-new static rules.
-
-Add a static rule only when review finds a recurring high-risk blocking
-pattern that is invisible to the current detector.
-
-## Runtime detector
-
-The runtime detector is the CI regression guard. It uses Blockbuster to fail a
-focused test when code under `app.*` or `deerflow.*` performs blocking IO on
-the asyncio event-loop thread.
-
-Run it from `backend/`:
-
-```bash
-make test-blocking-io
-```
-
-The runtime gate starts from confirmed production bugs and protects those
-paths from regressing. It does not prove that the entire backend is free of
-blocking IO; it only covers the production paths exercised by
-`backend/tests/blocking_io/`.
-
-## Maintenance workflow
-
-Use the static detector to find candidates, then use review to decide which
-async production paths are worth protecting in CI.
-
-The normal workflow is:
-
-1. Run the static detector to find backend blocking-IO candidates.
-2. Use human review to pick high-risk production async paths.
-3. Add or update a focused runtime anchor in `backend/tests/blocking_io/`.
-4. Let CI prevent that path from regressing.
-
-Runtime detection has two maintenance paths.
-
-### Add a runtime rule
-
-Add a runtime rule when Blockbuster's default rules do not cover a generic
-blocking primitive used by production code.
-
-Rules belong in:
-
-```text
-backend/tests/support/detectors/blocking_io_runtime.py
-```
-
-Add them to `_PROJECT_BLOCKING_RULES`, not directly inside individual tests.
-Keeping rules centralized makes it clear which extra primitives DeerFlow
-expects Blockbuster to catch.
-
-Example shape:
-
-```python
-import subprocess
-
-from blockbuster import BlockBusterFunction
-
-_PROJECT_BLOCKING_RULES = (
-    (
-        "subprocess.Popen.__init__",
-        BlockBusterFunction(
-            subprocess.Popen,
-            "__init__",
-            scanned_modules=["app", "deerflow"],
-        ),
-    ),
-)
-```
-
-Do not add a runtime rule just because a business path is not tested. A rule
-only expands what Blockbuster can intercept after code runs.
-
-### Add a runtime anchor
-
-Add a runtime anchor when a high-risk async production path should be protected
-by CI but no existing `backend/tests/blocking_io/` test executes it.
-
-Anchors belong in:
-
-```text
-backend/tests/blocking_io/
-```
-
-A good anchor should:
-
-- Call the real production async entry point.
-- Avoid bypassing the blocking surface with test-only `asyncio.to_thread`
-  wrappers.
-- Use real local filesystem inputs when the bug shape is filesystem IO.
-- Mock only the external dependency boundary, such as a network service or
-  third-party saver class.
-- Fail if a future change moves the blocking operation back onto the event
-  loop.
-
-Avoid testing only the low-level helper unless that helper is the production
-async entry point. The runtime gate is most useful when it protects the caller
-that production actually executes.
-
-## Current runtime coverage
-
-The runtime anchors protect confirmed blocking-IO bug shapes:
-
-- SQLite checkpointer setup, including path resolution and parent-directory
-  creation.
-- Subagent skill metadata loading through `SubagentExecutor._load_skills()`.
-- `JsonlRunEventStore` async API (`put` / `list_*` / `delete_*`): the JSONL
-  run-event backend offloads its synchronous file IO via `asyncio.to_thread`
-  (fix #3084); this anchor drives the real async API under the gate so any
-  blocking IO reintroduced on the loop fails, not only removal of one
-  `to_thread` call.
-- `UploadsMiddleware.before_agent` uploads-directory scan: a sync-only middleware
-  hook runs on the event loop under async graph execution, so the scan is
-  offloaded via `abefore_agent` + `run_in_executor`.
-- Gate health checks: Blockbuster catches unoffloaded calls, opt-out works, and
-  patches are restored after exceptions.
-
-As static detection and review identify more high-risk async paths, add new
-runtime anchors incrementally.

+# 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.*              │
+└──────────────┬──────────────────────┘
+               │
+               ▼
+┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  deerflow-harness  (可发布的包)       │
+│  ├── 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`）
