Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/rayhpeng/persistence-scaffold' into rayhpeng/persistence-scaffold

Following the rename/delete bug fix in PR1, migrate the remaining direct
LangGraph Store reads/writes in the threads router and services to the
ThreadMetaStore abstraction so that the sqlite and memory backends behave
identically and the legacy dual-write paths can be removed.

Migrated endpoints (threads.py):
- create_thread: idempotency check + write now use thread_meta_repo.get/create
  instead of dual-writing the LangGraph Store and the SQL row.
- get_thread: reads from thread_meta_repo.get; the checkpoint-only fallback
  for legacy threads is preserved.
- patch_thread: replaced _store_get/_store_put with thread_meta_repo.update_metadata.
- delete_thread_data: dropped the legacy store.adelete; thread_meta_repo.delete
  already covers it.

Removed dead code (services.py):
- _upsert_thread_in_store — redundant with the immediately following
  thread_meta_repo.create() call.
- _sync_thread_title_after_run — worker.py's finally block already syncs
  the title via thread_meta_repo.update_display_name() after each run.

Removed dead code (threads.py):
- _store_get / _store_put / _store_upsert helpers (no remaining callers).
- THREADS_NS constant.
- get_store import (router no longer touches the LangGraph Store directly).

New abstract method:
- ThreadMetaStore.update_metadata(thread_id, metadata) merges metadata into
  the thread's metadata field. Implemented in both ThreadMetaRepository (SQL,
  read-modify-write inside one session) and MemoryThreadMetaStore. Three new
  unit tests cover merge / empty / nonexistent behaviour.

Net change: -134 lines. Full test suite: 1693 passed, 14 skipped.
Verified end-to-end with curl in gateway mode against sqlite backend
(create / patch / get / rename / search / delete).

-# 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, and 8001 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 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-compatible API** - Verify the `/api/langgraph/*` route exposed by Gateway
-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-compatible API** - Verify the `/api/langgraph/*` route exposed by Gateway
-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 Gateway 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
-

-<!-- 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.

-#     contributor and reviewing are add-only.
-#   * State is read LIVE (listFiles + listLabelsOnIssue) at run time, not from

-# 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:
 
 ```text

+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

 Recommended fix: add your current user to the `docker` group so Docker commands work without `sudo`.

 ### 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.

-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.

 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.

-  `tests/support/detectors/blocking_io_runtime.py`). Any sync blocking IO
-  call whose stack passes through DeerFlow business code while running on
-  the asyncio event loop raises `BlockingError` and fails the test.
-- Regression anchors live there: `test_skills_load.py` (locks the

-  for #1917); `test_sqlite_lifespan.py` (locks the offload around

-  `test_jsonl_run_event_store.py` (locks `JsonlRunEventStore`'s async
-  API offloading its file IO via `asyncio.to_thread`, fix #3084); and
-  `test_uploads_middleware.py` (locks `UploadsMiddleware.abefore_agent`
-  offloading the uploads-directory scan off the event loop).
-- `test_gate_smoke.py` is a meta-test asserting the gate actually catches
-  unoffloaded blocking IO and that the `@pytest.mark.allow_blocking_io`
-  opt-out works.
-- Coverage boundary: the gate only sees code that test execution actually
-  touches. Static AST coverage is a separate concern (out of scope for

 3. **SandboxMiddleware** - Acquires sandbox, stores `sandbox_id` in state
-4. **DanglingToolCallMiddleware** - Injects placeholder ToolMessages for AIMessage tool_calls that lack responses (e.g., due to user interruption), including raw provider tool-call payloads preserved only in `additional_kwargs["tool_calls"]`
-5. **LLMErrorHandlingMiddleware** - Normalizes provider/model invocation failures into recoverable assistant-facing errors before later middleware/tool stages run
-6. **GuardrailMiddleware** - Pre-tool-call authorization via pluggable `GuardrailProvider` protocol (optional, if `guardrails.enabled` in config). Evaluates each tool call and returns error ToolMessage on deny. Three provider options: built-in `AllowlistProvider` (zero deps), OAP policy providers (e.g. `aport-agent-guardrails`), or custom providers.

-7. **SandboxAuditMiddleware** - Audits sandboxed shell/file operations for security logging before tool execution continues
-8. **ToolErrorHandlingMiddleware** - Converts tool exceptions into error `ToolMessage`s so the run can continue instead of aborting
-9. **SkillActivationMiddleware** - Detects strict `/skill-name task` syntax on the latest real user message, resolves only enabled and runtime-allowed skills, reads `SKILL.md` from trusted skill storage, injects the skill body as hidden current-turn model context, and records a `middleware:skill_activation` audit event with skill name, category, path, and content hash
-10. **SummarizationMiddleware** - Context reduction when approaching token limits (optional, if enabled)
-11. **TodoListMiddleware** - Task tracking with `write_todos` tool (optional, if plan_mode)
-12. **TokenUsageMiddleware** - Records token usage metrics when token tracking is enabled (optional); subagent usage is cached by `tool_call_id` only while token usage is enabled and merged back into the dispatching AIMessage by message position rather than message id
-13. **TitleMiddleware** - Auto-generates thread title after first complete exchange and normalizes structured message content before prompting the title model

-**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)`.

-Infrastructure fields are **restart-required**. 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_tags`       | `env:<DEER_FLOW_ENV>` + `model:<model_name>`  |

 ## 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 | 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.

backend/docs/AUTH_UPGRADE.md

-# 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.
