Nan GaoandGitHub aafd5077b2 feat(subagents): show effective model and token usage on task cards (#4049)
* feat(subagents): show runtime metadata on task cards

* fix(subagents): stop task-card render loop and dedupe model fetches

Address code review on the runtime-metadata cards:

- P1 render loop: the terminal ToolMessage is re-parsed on every
  MessageList render and always carries modelName/usage, so the
  presence-based setTasks condition fired a fresh state object each
  render -> "Maximum update depth exceeded". computeNextSubtask now
  returns a value-compared `changed` flag and a pure subtaskNotification()
  routes terminal transitions through the deferred after-render path
  while skipping no-op re-parses.

- Per-card useModels refetch: add staleTime: Infinity to the ["models"]
  query so every subtask card shares one /api/models fetch instead of
  refetching on each mount.

* make format

* refactor(subagents): dedupe token-usage validators + tidy event narrowing

Address PR review follow-ups:

- DRY: extract one shared token-usage validator per side. Backend
  status_contract.normalize_token_usage() now backs both the terminal
  ToolMessage metadata and the subagent.step/.end run events
  (step_events.py), and frontend messages/usage.normalizeTokenUsage()
  backs both the live task_running event (lifecycle.ts) and the terminal
  ToolMessage metadata (subtask-result.ts). Prevents the input/output/
  total_tokens validation from drifting across the four former copies.

- Nit: onCustomEvent narrows event.type once instead of re-checking the
  object shape per branch; the redundant task_started early-return
  (already validated by taskEventToSubtaskUpdate) is dropped.

"""Build compact subagent step payloads for streaming + persistence.
Issue #3779: subagent (subtask) execution steps were only visible as the
latest streamed frame and were never persisted, so users could not review
what tools a subagent ran or what each step produced after a reload.
This module is the pure data-shaping layer. It converts a captured subagent
message dict — the ``model_dump()`` of an ``AIMessage`` (an assistant turn:
text + tool-call requests) or a ``ToolMessage`` (a tool's output) — into the
small, JSON-serializable ``step`` payload that is:
- streamed live inside the ``task_running`` custom event (``task_tool.py``), and
- persisted as a ``subagent.step`` run event (``runtime/runs/worker.py``).
Keeping it pure means it is unit-tested without spinning up a graph, and both
the streaming and persistence call sites share one definition of a "step".

``stream_mode="values"`` re-yields the full message history on each chunk,
and a single LangGraph super-step can append several messages at once — most
importantly one ``ToolMessage`` per tool call when the model emits multiple
tool calls in one turn. Capturing only ``messages[-1]`` (the previous
behaviour) silently dropped all but the last tool output.
When the history grew, walk every newly-appended message. When it did not
grow, re-examine only the trailing message so an id-less in-place replacement
(same length, new content) is still captured — ``capture_step_message``'s
dedup makes an unchanged re-yield a no-op. Returns the new cursor.
When the history *contracted* (``total < processed_count``) — which happens
when ``DeerFlowSummarizationMiddleware`` rewrites the channel via
``RemoveMessage(id=REMOVE_ALL_MESSAGES)`` (#3875 Phase 3) — reset the cursor
to the new tail and let ``capture_step_message``'s id/content dedup prevent
re-emitting steps captured before the compaction. Without this reset, every
step appended after the compaction point is dropped until ``total`` overtakes
the stale cursor.
INVARIANT: after the reset the no-growth branch only re-examines
``messages[-1]``, so a genuinely new AIMessage/ToolMessage inserted at an
index BELOW the reset cursor in a compacted list would be missed. This is
not reachable today: the summarization middleware puts the summary into a
separate ``summary_text`` state key, and the messages channel after
compaction holds only already-seen preserved tail messages — compaction
never inserts a NEW capturable message below the cursor. If a future
middleware violates this invariant, the reset branch needs a full re-scan.
