🪪 fix: Strip Unresolved Header Placeholders at Final Resolution (#14595)
Unresolved {{LIBRECHAT_USER_*}} header templates leaked literally to
upstream providers when user context was missing at resolution time
(e.g. async title generation racing client disposal), letting a gateway
trust LibreChat's own template syntax as an account identity.

resolveHeaders now takes an opt-in stripUnresolved flag that blanks any
resolvable-but-unresolved LIBRECHAT_USER/BODY/OPENID placeholder, enabled
at every final resolution boundary (resolveConfigHeaders, model fetches,
Google init, summarization overrides, azureAssistants init). Staged
passes that resolve again later with more context are left untouched, as
is the async-resolved {{LIBRECHAT_GRAPH_ACCESS_TOKEN}} and unknown names.

titleConvo now resolves headers from the req captured at entry instead of
re-reading this.options.req, which disposeClient nulls concurrently.

🔗 fix: Normalize MCP Tool Keys at Every Producer, Resolve Raw Names via Aliases (#14553)
* 🔗 fix: Normalize MCP Tool Keys at Every Producer, Resolve Raw Names via Aliases

Tool keys had two spellings that could diverge for any server whose name
contains characters outside [a-zA-Z0-9_.-]: the tool cache (and registry
inspector) built keys with the RAW server name, while runtime instances
are named with normalizeServerName(serverName). Three code comments
already asserted "tool keys embed the normalized server name" - no
producer honored it. For a special-character server that meant:

- definitions-only mode shipped raw def names the model echoed back,
  but the executor's tool map held the normalized instance name, so
  every call failed with "Tool not found";
- per-tool tool_options (defer_loading / allowed_callers /
  run_in_background / describe_intent) were persisted under raw keys
  that never matched the definition names the option passes resolve
  against, so builder settings were silently inert;
- tool-key parsing against normalized candidate lists silently fell
  back to last-delimiter splitting, which mis-parses delimiter-bearing
  tool names.

The reconciliation is one contract enforced in three moves:

1. PRODUCERS NORMALIZE. The tool cache (packages/api/src/mcp/tools.ts)
   and the registry inspector build keys with the normalized server
   name, matching the instance names MCP.js has always assigned. The
   builder's tool ids, agent.tools entries, tool_options keys, and
   definition names all flow from these keys, so every model-facing
   name now agrees. The cache STORE stays keyed by the raw config name.

2. CONFIG LOOKUPS RESOLVE ALIASES. New shared helpers in data-provider
   (buildServerNameAliases, normalizeMCPToolKey) map a parsed
   normalized name back to the raw config name that the registry,
   config maps, tool cache, and plugin-auth rows are keyed by. Applied
   in the definitions loader closure, handleTools grouping,
   createMCPTool's parsing fallback, getUserMCPAuthMap, and the MCP
   tools endpoint - matching both spellings so legacy raw keys keep
   resolving.

3. LEGACY DATA HEALS AT ONE BOUNDARY. initializeAgent rewrites
   raw-keyed agent.tools entries and tool_options keys to the
   normalized form (normalizeAgentToolKeys) before anything consumes
   them, so agents persisted under the old convention load their tools
   AND have all four per-tool options honored. Placeholder and
   server-pin tokens stay raw - they are config-identity references,
   not model-facing names.

Servers whose names are already in the safe character set (the common
case) produce byte-identical keys before and after; the fast path
allocates nothing. Stale Redis-cached raw keys self-heal via the
existing reconnect-on-missing path within one cache cycle.

* 🧯 fix: Deterministic Alias Collisions + Raw Names in Definition Metadata

Two review findings on the normalization contract:

- Two configured server names that normalize to the same segment (e.g.
  'Sales Force' and 'Sales:Force' -> 'Sales_Force') produce inherently
  ambiguous tool keys; the alias map silently resolved last-wins, so a
  tool selected from one server could execute against the other's
  config. buildServerNameAliases now resolves collisions to the FIRST
  configured name deterministically, and resolveMCPServerContext warns
  once per colliding pair per process so the operator can rename one
  server. A collision-resistant identifier would change every existing
  tool key, so detection + stable routing is the right treatment here;
  startup-time config validation can follow separately.

- The definitions loader resolved parsed (normalized) server names to
  raw only inside the ToolService closure, while the definition
  metadata (serverName -> mcpRawServerName) kept the normalized value.
  Server instructions are keyed by raw config names, so a
  special-character server's instructions were silently omitted in
  definitions-only mode. loadToolDefinitions now takes rawServerNames,
  resolves the boundary against both spellings, and stores the RAW
  name in definition metadata - consistent with the instance path.

* 🧯 fix: Heal Stale Caches, Skill Allowed-Tools, and Builder Selectors

Three review findings on the normalization rollout, all in the
transition class:

- Stale cache entries (P1): the definitions-only loader treats the
  per-server tool map as authoritative and never reconnects on a
  per-key miss, so a pre-change raw-keyed Redis entry would make a
  special-character server's tools vanish for up to the cache TTL.
  getMCPServerTools now heals legacy raw-keyed entries to the
  normalized format at read time (keys and function names), covering
  every consumer with no coordinated invalidation; safe names return
  the map untouched.

- Skill allowed-tools: a skill declaring a raw MCP key in
  allowed-tools bypassed the initialize-boundary heal (the union runs
  after it) and would neither dedupe against healed agent tools nor
  match the normalized tool map. The primes' allowedTools now pass
  through the same normalizeAgentToolKeys heal before unioning.

- Builder selectors: matchesMcpServer and useVisibleTools parsed tool
  ids against raw server names only, so an attached special-character
  server rendered as an unselected orphan card. Both now accept the
  normalized spelling and resolve it back to the raw map key, keeping
  legacy raw ids working.

* 🧯 fix: Fail Closed on Normalized Server-Name Collisions

Escalation of the collision finding: a deterministic first-wins alias
plus a warning still let the tools listing publish BOTH colliding
servers, so a tool selected under the shadowed second server would
silently execute against the first server's configuration (their
model-facing keys are identical, so routing cannot ever distinguish
them).

- findShadowedServerNames identifies later-configured names whose
  normalized form an earlier different name claimed.
- getMCPTools excludes shadowed servers from the published listing
  entirely (with a warn naming the collision), so their tools are
  never selectable - nothing ambiguous can be picked.
- Server creation reserves both spellings: a generated slug may not
  collide with a raw config name OR the normalized form its tool keys
  would carry.

Collision-resistant model-facing IDs remain out of scope: changing
normalizeServerName's output would rewrite every existing tool key
(agent documents, caches, instance names) for ALL servers to handle a
misconfiguration that is now blocked from exposure instead.

*  fix: Dedupe Reserved Server-Name Spellings at Creation

The reservation list appended normalized forms unconditionally, which
duplicated every safe name (raw === normalized) and broke the
route-level contract test pinning the exact list. Dedupe via a Set so
safe names contribute one entry, while special-character names still
reserve both spellings; adds the special-character reservation case.

* 🧯 fix: Never Heal a Shadowed Server's Keys; Align Authorization Tie-Break

Persisted references were the remaining collision vector: an agent or
skill saved with the shadowed later server's raw key was HEALED into
the shared normalized key, authorized through a last-wins map, and
routed first-wins - authorized as one server, executed as another.

- normalizeAgentToolKeys now refuses to rewrite keys of shadowed
  servers (findShadowedServerNames): rewriting would produce exactly
  the first server's key. Left raw, the key cannot match the
  normalized-keyed tool map and the tool fails visibly - broken beats
  misrouted. Covers agent.tools, tool_options, and skill
  allowed-tools through the shared heal.

- filterAuthorizedTools (agents/v1.js) builds its normalized-to-raw
  map via the shared buildServerNameAliases instead of a last-wins
  Map constructor, so authorization resolves a colliding key to the
  SAME first server execution routes to.

* 🧯 fix: Direct Identity Wins Over Aliases; Heal Client Forms and Degraded Contexts

Four review findings on the normalization edges:

- Alias hijack (P1): a user-DB server named exactly like an operator
  server's normalized form ('foo' vs YAML 'foo!') had its tools
  rerouted to the operator server by unconditional alias resolution.
  Resolution is now DIRECT-FIRST everywhere: the parsed name is tried
  as-is, and only when nothing resolves is it treated as a normalized
  spelling (definitions loader, handleTools grouping, createMCPTool
  fallback). buildServerNameAliases seats identity entries before
  derived ones so a literal name owns its slot regardless of config
  order, findShadowedServerNames and the collision warning derive from
  the same construction, and getUserMCPAuthMap fetches auth under both
  spellings so either owner finds its rows.

- Builder double-match: a normalized name containing the delimiter
  ('foo mcp bar' -> 'foo_mcp_bar') also suffix-matched a server named
  'bar', selecting both cards and making removal strip the wrong tool.
  matchesMcpServer now resolves the token ONCE against the full
  configured list (longest boundary, both spellings) when the caller
  supplies it; selection and removal share the resolution.

- Builder legacy ids: an agent saved with raw-keyed ids showed its
  tools unchecked while the runtime heal kept them active, and
  selection updates never replaced the legacy entries. McpSection maps
  legacy raw ids to their current normalized ids when deriving and
  rewriting this server's selection.

- Degraded context: a transient ensureConfigServers failure returned
  an entirely empty context, leaving normalized keys unresolvable for
  the request. resolveMCPServerContext now keeps the name lists (they
  derive from the config snapshot alone) and degrades only the
  lazy-init configs.

* 🧯 fix: Collision Detection Sees Accessible Servers; Shadowed Refs Fail Closed End to End

Round follow-ups on the collision design, all in the
DB-server-visibility class:

- The legacy-key heal detected collisions against operator-config
  names only, so healing could still produce a key that direct-first
  resolution routes to an invisible user-DB server. initializeAgent
  gains an optional getAccessibleMcpServerNames dep (wired through
  ToolService for controllers that mock it, directly elsewhere),
  consulted ONLY when a configured name needs normalization - zero
  cost for safe-name deployments. The heal then sees the full
  accessible set and skips shadowed servers' keys.

- Wildcard and legacy raw tokens bypassed catalog filtering, letting a
  shadowed server's instances join a run under the same normalized
  names as the winner's. filterAuthorizedTools rejects tools of
  shadowed servers at authorization (its merged map sees DB + config),
  and handleTools skips them at execution.

- The builder migrated only tool selection, not tool_options: legacy
  raw option keys showed disabled while the runtime honored them, and
  toggles could not clear them. McpSection now migrates option keys to
  the current normalized ids (existing normalized entries win).

- A transient ensureConfigServers failure degraded to an EMPTY server
  context, leaving normalized keys unresolvable for the request.
  resolveMCPServerContext keeps the name lists (derived from the
  config snapshot alone) and degrades only the lazy-init configs.

* 🧯 fix: Complete the Collision Audit at Every Gate; Safer Heal Semantics

Round follow-ups hardening the collision audit:

- Execution guards now consult the FULL accessible set: the caller's
  heal threads its already-fetched names through loadTools, and
  handleTools fetches them itself when a configured name needs
  normalization (never for safe-name deployments) - so a cross-tier
  collision (user-DB 'foo' vs operator 'foo!') fails closed at eager
  execution instead of joining the run under one normalized name.

- Healing is SKIPPED when the collision audit cannot complete
  (transient lookup failure, or no dep): un-healed raw keys still
  resolve through the direct-first candidates, so skipping is safe
  while rewriting against an incomplete audit is not.

- The audit lookup is gated on the agent actually carrying
  delimiter-bearing keys (tools, tool_options, or skill
  allowed-tools), so non-MCP agents never pay a registry round-trip
  even on specially named deployments.

- normalizeAgentToolKeys gives the CURRENT (normalized) entry
  precedence when both spellings carry options, matching the builder's
  migration semantics instead of letting insertion order decide.

- The builder's toCurrentToolId resolves entries boundary-exactly
  against every configured server (longest match, both spellings), so
  a raw suffix shared with a LONGER server name can no longer reassign
  that server's selection or options while another dialog is open.

* 🧯 fix: Shared Collision Audit for Definitions Loading; Fail Closed on Audit Failure

Round follow-ups closing the remaining audit gaps:

- The definitions-only loader now consumes the same collision audit as
  eager loading: shadowed servers' entries (wildcards included) are
  dropped before definitions are emitted, so the default execution
  path can never resolve a shadowed server's normalized function name
  to another server. The audit names thread from initializeAgent's
  heal; the loader self-fetches only when a configured name needs
  normalization.

- resolveCollisionAuditNames centralizes the audit-resolution policy
  (threaded set > self-fetch when needed > incomplete on failure), and
  BOTH loaders now fail closed under an incomplete audit: any
  normalization-sensitive reference (its own name needs normalizing,
  or it equals the normalized form of a configured special-character
  name) is skipped with a warning instead of being audited against
  operator names alone. isNormalizationSensitiveName lives in
  packages/api as a pure helper so test mocks use the real predicate.

- normalizeAgentToolKeys collapses duplicate ids after healing
  (order-preserving): a document carrying both spellings converges on
  one key, never two instances with the same function name.

* 🧯 fix: Thread the Audit Everywhere; Identity-Aware Alias Fallback

Round follow-ups on audit plumbing:

- The OpenAI-compatible and Responses tool loaders now forward the
  already-resolved accessibleMcpServerNames instead of discarding it,
  so the definitions loader neither repeats the registry lookup nor
  fails closed on a transient second lookup after the first succeeded.

- The skill-only path threads its audit: when the baseline agent has
  no MCP keys but a primed skill's allowed-tools fetched the complete
  set, that set (not the operator-only list) reaches the loader, so
  the collision remains visible and the shadowed reference stays
  rejected end to end.

- OAuth discovery iterates the collision-FILTERED tool list, so a
  request can no longer emit an OAuth prompt, wait out the connection
  timeout, and reconnect a server whose definitions were deliberately
  rejected.

- The definitions loader's alias fallback is identity-aware: when the
  parsed name IS a known accessible server, a null tool fetch means
  temporarily unavailable (OAuth pending, missing user variables,
  disconnected) and no longer reroutes to the raw alias - previously
  the aliased operator server's definitions could be emitted under the
  unavailable DB server's names.

* 🧯 fix: Legacy-Key Definition Lookup; Retain Audit for Deferred Execution

- createMCPTool resolves tool definitions by BOTH spellings: the key as
  persisted plus the canonical normalized key built from the resolved
  server name. Assistants and direct tool calls persisted before the
  rollout bypass the agent-boundary heal and arrive with raw keys, while
  availableTools is now indexed canonically - previously every such call
  missed the index, burned a reconnect, and returned the unavailable
  stub permanently via the negative cache.

- The initialized agent retains accessibleMcpServerNames (the COMPLETE
  collision audit this initialization resolved), buildAgentToolContext
  copies it into every per-agent tool context, and loadToolsForExecution
  threads it into the eager loader as bare options. Deferred/event-driven
  execution therefore reuses the snapshot instead of repeating the merged
  registry read - a transient failure there could fail-closed a tool the
  same turn already advertised from the successful first audit.

- MCP.spec.js keeps @librechat/api pure helpers REAL (requireActual
  spread) so normalization paths are exercised rather than mirrored.

* 🧯 fix: Parse Legacy Keys Against Both Server-Name Spellings

createMCPTool's boundary candidates were normalized-only, so a legacy
raw key whose server name contains the delimiter (foo_mcp_bar!) missed
the suffix match and fell to the generic last-delimiter split - the
canonical rebuild then produced a key that could never hit the index
and the persisted call stubbed out. The candidate list now carries the
RAW resolved name (and raw config names on the parse-only path) next
to the normalized spellings.

* 🧯 fix: Honest Audit Completeness; Shadowed-Server Form-Key Guard

- resolveAllMcpConfigs tolerates ensureConfigServers failures, so the
  merged registry read can silently omit config-only servers while the
  audit still reported complete: true - a foo/foo! collision would go
  unseen and a persisted key could route to the wrong server. Both
  audit consumers now union the snapshot-derived raw config names back
  in (resolveCollisionAuditNames unions the caller's rawServerNames;
  the initializeAgent heal unions configRawServerNames), keeping the
  completeness label honest without an extra read: operator names come
  from the registry-independent config snapshot, user-DB names from the
  merged read that fails loudly into the existing incomplete path.

- The client tool_options migration now mirrors the runtime heal's
  fail-closed rule for SHADOWED servers: when the dialog's server has
  lost its normalized slot to another catalog name, legacy raw keys
  stay raw instead of being rewritten onto the winning server's key,
  where a later save would apply the wrong server's per-tool settings.
  The dialog's own server joins the alias construction so a stale
  catalog map can't misread as a collision.

* 🧯 fix: Heal Legacy Assistant MCP Tool Names on Save

The assistants create/update controllers look tools up in the cached
definitions by exact key, and the cache is now normalized-keyed - an
assistant saved before the convention resubmits its raw-suffixed MCP
name on every edit, so any save silently removed the tool.

healMcpToolNames pre-heals the payload's tool list: a delimiter-bearing
string that misses the cache resolves through the configured raw names
(longest-suffix, boundary-exact) and rewrites to the normalized key
only when that key actually exists in the cache. SHADOWED raw names
stay raw and fail closed, mirroring the runtime heal; the config read
happens only when a delimiter-bearing name actually misses, and read
failures propagate (write path) rather than silently dropping tools.
v2's update loop also stops re-reading the tool cache per iteration.

* 🧯 fix: Full-Audit Shadow Set + Dedupe in the Assistant Key Heal

- The assistant-save heal built its shadow set from operator config
  names alone, so a cross-tier collision (user-DB `foo` owning the
  normalized slot of operator `foo!`) looked unshadowed and the legacy
  key healed into the shared normalized name - which direct-first
  execution then binds to the DB server. The shadow set now comes from
  resolveCollisionAuditNames' full accessible audit, and an incomplete
  audit skips healing outright (every rewrite candidate is
  normalization-sensitive by construction, so raw-and-fail-closed is
  the only safe answer).

- Healed string entries dedupe order-preserving: a payload carrying
  both spellings of the same tool collapses to one entry instead of
  expanding into duplicate function definitions the provider rejects.

* feat: surface interrupt-steer escalation on waiting messages

The interrupt & steer feature shipped reachable only through the
composer chord, the send-button hovercard, and the composer button; a
message already waiting (queued for after the run, or steered and
parked at the next tool boundary) had no path to it. Both waiting
surfaces now carry one:

- Queued rows get an icon-only ZapOff escalation button beside the
  existing Steer primary. It routes through sendQueuedNow, which now
  takes a preempt option on its live-run path. The tooltip teaches the
  composer chord, derived through resolveComposerKeyDown so a rebound
  or yielded chord is never advertised.
- In-flight steer bubbles get an "Interrupt now" overflow entry with
  the same race rules as Edit: reclaim first, and only a `reclaimed`
  outcome resubmits (via retrySteer with preempt, swapping the chip
  for an interrupting one). `applied` and run-ended-mid-reclaim
  outcomes stop at the existing informational toasts, so the words can
  never land twice. Not offered on a steer already preempting.
- Every during-run overflow menu gains an "Always interrupt instead"
  toggle for steerInterruptsByDefault, next to the existing steer/queue
  default toggle. MenuEntry supports disabled for the new entries.

Only one interrupt can be unresolved at a time: while one preempt is
pending (or the run is paused on approval, where the server 409s),
every escalation control disables instead of racing the same seal.

Ten new tests across both surfaces; 381 green in the affected suites.

* fix: lock escalation across its reclaim window, keep the paused control visible, label as steer

Codex round 1, all three findings.

P2, escalation race. The single-interrupt invariant had a window between
clicking "Interrupt now" and the reclaim resolving, where no preempt
chip existed for the chip-derived gate to see: two bubbles escalated
back-to-back could both resubmit. A shared escalating flag (Jotai,
per-conversation) now covers the window and disables every escalation
control on both surfaces, and a fresh recheck before resubmitting
catches an interrupt armed elsewhere meanwhile (composer chord, queued
row); those words re-home to the queue with an informational toast
instead of breaking the invariant.

P2, unreachable paused state. canSteer is defined as
hasRealConvoId && !pausedOnApproval, so gating the button on canSteer
removed it exactly when it was meant to render disabled; the test only
passed on an impossible stub combination. The render gate is now
duringRunActive && (canSteer || pausedOnApproval), and the test uses the
real invariant.

P2, label semantics. "Interrupt & send now" borrowed the name of the
hard-abort action; this one preserves the partial answer and steers.
Renamed to "Interrupt & steer now" (com_ui_interrupt_steer_now).

Both behavior fixes counterfactually verified; 384 tests green across
the affected suites.

* fix: disable bubble escalation while the run cannot accept a steer

Codex round 2, one P2. Answer mode (ask_user_question) sets
duringRunActive false while pausedOnApproval stays false, since that
flag only detects approval-bearing tool calls. The bubble's escalation
entry stayed enabled there, so clicking it cancelled a healthy waiting
steer and the preempt resubmission bounced off RUN_PAUSED, degrading
the words to the queue. The entry now also disables on
!duringRunActive, matching the queued-row control's gate.

Counterfactually verified: reverting the gate fails the new
answer-mode test.

* fix: recheck live run state after the reclaim, not just at the click

Codex round 3, one P2, and it is the round-1 recheck principle applied
one level deeper: the entry-time disable cannot see a run that pauses
(tool approval, answer mode) while the reclaim round-trip is in flight,
and the .then closure held the render's stale steering controls, so the
resubmit would fire into a RUN_PAUSED rejection after the reclaim had
already surrendered the steer's boundary slot.

The escalation continuation now reads the LIVE controls through a
latest-ref: if the run can no longer accept a steer, the words re-home
to the queue with an informational toast instead of resubmitting, and
the resubmit itself also goes through the live controls.

Counterfactually verified: reading the stale closure instead of the ref
fails the new mid-reclaim pause test.

* refactor: make escalation one atomic server-side arm, in place

Codex round 4: four P2s, every one an interleaving of the same window —
escalation as reclaim-then-repost is a compound, non-atomic operation
whose continuation must revalidate the world (FIFO position lost, ref
assigned too late, no run fence, competing bubble actions). Rounds 1-3
patched that window with a lock and rechecks; round 4 shows the window
itself is the defect, so this removes it instead of guarding it again.

Escalation is now POST /chat/steer/arm: the server flips preempt on the
EXISTING queued item in one atomic store op (new IJobStore.armSteer; a
decode-patch-encode LSET Lua on Redis, an in-place mutation in memory),
fenced to the validated generation and refused once the queue closes.
The handler mirrors the steer POST's preempt contract exactly: durable
flag gated on the owner's recorded capability, volatile requestPreempt
fire-and-forget because the durable flag is the truth resume/handover
re-arm from.

By construction this resolves all four findings: FIFO survives (the
item never moves; the whole queue still drains in instruction order at
the seal), there is no continuation to hold stale controls, the store
op is fenced to the original run, and a competing Edit/Queue/Cancel
either beats the arm (armed:false, chip untouched) or operates on the
armed item, whose cancel already disarms.

The client escalation entry becomes one mutation: armed:true relabels
the chip in place (same steerId, same position), PREEMPT_UNSUPPORTED
and lost races toast honestly, and the round 1-3 machinery — the
escalating lock atom, the latest-ref, the post-reclaim rechecks and
their two toast strings — is deleted rather than extended.

Verified: 7 new handler tests on the real in-memory manager (including
FIFO preservation and the stale-generation fence), 2 Redis integration
tests against real Redis (in-place arm keeps order and every field;
missing/stale/closed all refuse), client suites 396 green.

* fix: decide capability inside the atomic arm, neutralize the lost-race toast

Codex round 5, both findings, both edges of the new arm design rather
than its mechanism.

P2, capability TOCTOU. A HITL resume on a rolling deploy rewrites
preemptCapable for the SAME generation, so the handler's read could go
stale between validation and the flag flip, arming a steer the live
owner cannot seal. armSteer now returns armed | missing | incapable,
with the owner's live capability part of the same atomic predicate as
the generation fence (HGET preemptCapable inside the Lua; the flat job
field, not a metadata blob — the in-memory store reads the same field).
The handler's pre-check is deleted rather than kept alongside; the
store predicate is the single source. New handler test rewrites the
capability after queueing and expects PREEMPT_UNSUPPORTED with the item
left unflagged; the Redis guards test now asserts the incapable refusal
against real Redis.

P2, ambiguous toast. armed:false covers injected, cancelled, re-homed,
and run-over alike, so telling the user the message "already reached
the agent" claimed one specific outcome. The lost-race branch now uses
a neutral message (com_ui_steer_arm_lost_race) and defers to the events
for what actually happened.

* fix: flip the escalation lock synchronously before the arm request

Codex round 6, one P2. Round 4 deleted the escalating flag along with
the reclaim continuation it guarded, but that left the one-interrupt
gate blind during the arm request's own round trip: the chip-derived
check cannot see an arm until its response relabels the chip, so on a
slow connection two bubbles could both arm before either response
landed. Double-arm is harmless server-side now (the run seals once and
drains the whole queue in order), but every escalation control
advertises "one interrupt at a time" by disabling, and the controls
must tell the truth.

The per-conversation escalating flag returns as a pure UX gate: set
synchronously at click, before the mutation, cleared on settlement, and
folded into interruptPending on both surfaces. Unlike its round 1-3
ancestor there is no continuation behind it to guard and no recheck to
pair with it.

Counterfactually verified: without the synchronous set, the two-bubble
race test arms twice. 207 tests green across the Chat Input suites.

* test(e2e): cover escalation of waiting messages through the real seal

Three mock-harness tests on E2E_SLOW_REPLY, a 160-chunk stream with no
tool boundary, so an in-thread steer part can ONLY come from a genuine
mid-stream seal — which makes each test a behavioral proof rather than
a UI check:

- Queued row escalation: the ZapOff button turns a waiting queued
  message into a preempt-armed steer (202 echoes preempt: true) that
  seals and injects, where the sibling steering.spec test proves the
  unescalated path waits for run end instead.
- Bubble in-place arm: an ordinary steer (202 with no preempt echo)
  waits as a bubble, POST /chat/steer/arm answers armed: true, the
  bubble relabels in place (same single bubble, same text, escalation
  no longer offered on reopen), and the armed steer seals mid-stream.
- Always-interrupt toggle: flipped from a waiting row's overflow menu,
  plain Enter now produces a preempt: true steer that seals in the SAME
  run, and the menu offers the way back. An afterEach clears the
  localStorage preference so a mid-test failure cannot leak
  preempt-by-default into the rest of the serial suite.

All three verified locally through the full harness (real backend, mock
LLM, seeded DB): 3 passed in 27s.

* feat: dedicated escalation arrow + shortcut, menu split into actions and preferences

The escalation was still half-hidden: the bubble only offered it inside
the overflow menu, and the tooltip taught the composer chord, which does
a different thing (interrupts with typed text, not this chip). Three
changes make it a first-class command:

- A shared EscalateNowButton (circular arrow, ghost-bordered like the
  composer's interrupt control) is always visible on BOTH surfaces:
  beside each queued row's Steer primary and on every waiting steer
  bubble next to its menu. It disappears once a steer is interrupting.
- A dedicated registry shortcut, escalateSteer (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+.),
  editing-allowed and rebindable like every other action. Deliberately
  NOT an Enter chord: the composer owns every Enter chord, and the
  yield design rests on no default binding using Enter besides submit.
  Its handler clicks the newest enabled arrow control (bubbles beat
  queued rows), so the shortcut can never diverge from the button, and
  the arrow's tooltip teaches THIS command via the registry display.
- The overflow menus separate one-off actions from sticky behavior
  changes: Edit, Cancel, Queue, then a smaller "Preferences" section
  holding the queueing and always-interrupt toggles, each with the
  standard InfoHoverCard reusing the Settings panel's descriptions.
  "Interrupt & steer now" leaves the menu entirely.

386 client tests green, including a menu-structure test locking the
order and the absence of the escalation entry; bubble escalation tests
drive the visible arrow. The e2e spec's bubble test now clicks the
arrow, and a fourth test drives the dedicated shortcut end to end
through a real mid-stream seal.

* style: bind the escalation arrow to its message (variant A anatomy)

Two same-weight circles in a row read as one control group, leaving the
arrow's ownership ambiguous, and a floating arrow stops meaning anything
once several messages stack. The shared control now carries variant A's
anatomy: a thin divider binds a small SOLID arrow (filled, inverted) to
the message region on its left, and the menu ellipsis stays a bare
glyph, so the two affordances can no longer blur together — and the
divider+arrow pairing repeats cleanly per chip at N messages.

* chore: drop the unused within import CI lint caught

* fix: advertise the escalation shortcut only while the control is live

Codex on the e2e head, one P2: the tooltip appended the chord hint even
while the button was disabled, advertising a shortcut that does nothing
during an approval pause. The flagged control (InterruptNowButton) was
since replaced by the shared EscalateNowButton, which inherited the
pattern; the successor now omits the chord whenever the control is
disabled, matching the rule the during-run hovercard already follows.

🎯 fix: Exact Ask-Question Attribution via Interrupt tool_call_id (#14539)
The ask_user_question pause/answer stamps (server pause-time args stamp,
resume-time answer stamp, and the client mirror) targeted the newest
unanswered ask part by position. When a model emits several ask calls in
one turn, the interrupt's question and the user's answer land on the
wrong card.

@librechat/agents > 3.3.8 surfaces the interrupting call's tool_call_id
on the ask interrupt payload. All three stamps now target that id
exactly when present, keeping the positional fallback for older
payloads. The tool body passes config.toolCall.id through to
askUserQuestion via a typed alias that is a no-op on the pinned SDK and
lights up on the next dependency bump.

Companion to danny-avila/agents#366, which also fixes the underlying
dangling tool_use 400 (INVALID_TOOL_RESULTS) when one of the parallel
ask calls streams malformed args.

🛑 feat: Preemptive Steer - Backend Interrupt & Steer (#14518)
* 🛑 feat: Preemptive Steer — server half (Interrupt & Steer, PR 2 of 3)

Lets the steer route ask the generating replica to seal its live model
stream at the next provider-safe boundary instead of waiting for a tool
step. The run is never aborted, job status never changes, the partial
answer is kept, and generation resumes in the same assistant message
after the injected steer. Consumes the SDK seam in @librechat/agents
(danny-avila/agents#335, #346).

Transport: IEventTransport gains a fenced emitPreempt/onPreempt pair
beside abort. RedisEventTransport fans PREEMPT out on the SAME events
channel and subscription (no new connection, key, or subscribe call);
onPreempt returns a registration-scoped unsubscribe with the same
replacement-safe state-identity guard onAbort uses. InMemory implements
neither — single-process preempt lives entirely in the runtime set.

Runtime state: RuntimeJobState carries the per-generation request set,
createdAt-fenced and capped at STEER_QUEUE_MAX_DEPTH, plus a bounded
`cleared` tombstone so a late cross-replica arm cannot resurrect a
request whose steer already drained. registerPreemptSubscription
mirrors the abort registration's double fence (runtime identity +
generation createdAt); releaseAbortSubscription retires BOTH listeners
and the armed set, so every terminal path drops preempt state for free.
Public surface: requestPreempt (arm + fenced publish, never a rejection
surface, never touches job status), isPreemptRequested (O(1)
level-triggered poll), noteSteersRemoved (drain/cancel bookkeeping +
fenced clear), clearPreemptRequests (empty-boundary disarm).

One drain body, two boundaries: createSteerDrainHook (PostToolBatch)
and createSteerPreemptBoundaryHook (PreemptBoundary) share
drainAndBuildInjections, so the two injection sites cannot drift — the
SDK's provider-safety argument rests on identical HumanMessage shapes.
The shared body builds injections incrementally under a swallow-all
catch (a mid-loop throw still injects what was applied — those parts
are already persisted), clears preempt requests in finally, and
disarms the generation when a boundary drains nothing.

Request path: POST /chat/steer accepts preempt: true. The guard ladder
is unchanged in order and in every status code. A preempt request is
NEVER a rejection reason — without the capability the steer still
enqueues and the 202 echoes preempt: false. Armed strictly after a
successful enqueue; cancel disarms. The capability is read from the
OWNING replica's recorded `preemptCapable` rather than the route
replica's own SDK probe, so a rolling deploy cannot label a steer
"interrupting" that the older owner will only inject at a tool step.

Durable label: SteerQueueItem.preempt → TPendingSteer.preempt, so a
parked/claimed/replayed chip keeps its wording.

Run wiring: createRun registers the PreemptBoundary hook and threads
RunConfig.preemption, both gated on isSteerPreemptSupported() — a
separate probe from isSteeringSupported(), so the client affordance can
never arm against an SDK that only injects at tool boundaries.
buildSteerWiring builds both hooks from one shared closures object, so
preemption survives HITL pause/resume for free.

Honest finalization: an empty preempt boundary persists and emits with
unfinished: true — the same contract an abort gets — re-marked
explicitly because BaseClient has already saved the row as
unfinished: false by that point.

Not changed: no new job status, store method, Lua, SSE event type,
endpoint, or authorization surface. abortJob, completeJob,
transitionStatus, closeAndDrainSteers, getResumeState, emitChunk,
applySteerPart and the whole abort path are untouched.

Tests: 120 packages/api steering specs (preempt lifecycle, tombstone,
fences, caps, terminal release, both-boundary drain parity,
level-triggered poll, request/cancel arming, owner-capability
degradation) plus 5 in api for buildSteerWiring gating, and 2
Redis-gated cross-replica transport specs.

* 🔒 fix: Codex round 2 — evict tombstones, scope the empty-boundary disarm, honest resumes

All four server findings were fresh consequences of the round-1 fixes,
which is the review doing exactly what it should.

- Tombstone cap refused new entries instead of evicting. Every drained
  or cancelled steer is tombstoned, not just preempting ones, so a
  generation that processed 20 steers exhausted the set and the
  late-arm race resurfaced silently. Now evicts oldest-first (Set
  iteration is insertion-ordered), with the budget named
  PREEMPT_TOMBSTONE_MAX rather than an inline expression.

- The empty-boundary disarm I added in round 1 wiped the generation's
  ENTIRE armed set. A second steer can enqueue and arm between the
  atomic drain returning empty and the disarm running — that arm is
  backed by a live, uninjected queue item and must survive. The drain
  now snapshots the armed ids BEFORE draining
  (getArmedPreemptIds) and clearPreemptRequests takes an explicit id
  list instead of clearing everything.

- HITL resume finalized with a hardcoded unfinished: false. The
  boundary hook is re-registered on resume via buildSteerWiring, so a
  resumed segment can end on an empty preempt boundary exactly like a
  fresh one; finalizeResumedTurn now reads getPreemptStats() and the
  halt reason, matching the normal request path.

- Ownership moves on resume, so the job's recorded preemptCapable must
  describe the replica that will actually generate. Refreshed before
  resumeCompletion; a job created on a capable replica that resumes on
  an older one during a rolling deploy no longer acknowledges steers as
  interrupting.

Tests: +3 (scoped disarm sparing a post-snapshot arm, oldest-first
tombstone eviction, id-list disarm). 122 packages/api steering specs
green.

* 🚨 fix: Codex round 3 — deserialize preemptCapable from Redis (feature was dead under Redis)

The P1 here is the most consequential defect in the whole feature, and
it was introduced by round 1's own capability fix.

- `RedisJobStore.serializeJob` writes booleans generically, so
  `preemptCapable` reached Redis — but `deserializeJob` is an EXPLICIT
  field map and had no line for it. Every `getJob()` therefore dropped
  the flag, `job.metadata.preemptCapable` was always undefined, and
  `handleSteerRequest` computed `preemptArmed: false` unconditionally.
  Interrupt & steer would have silently degraded to ordinary
  tool-boundary steering in EVERY Redis deployment — i.e. the feature
  shipping as a no-op in production while passing every in-memory test.
  Now deserialized, with a round-trip assertion in the metadata spec
  that fails (`Received: undefined`) against the unfixed store.

- The resume capability refresh moved from just-before
  `resumeCompletion` to immediately after `approvals.resolve` claims
  the run. That call already flips the job back to `running`, so the
  steer route accepts requests from that instant; leaving the refresh
  135 lines later (across the whole client reconstruction) left a real
  window where a steer read the PREVIOUS owner's capability. Not the
  fully atomic transition Codex suggested — that reaches into the
  approvals Lua — but it shrinks the window from seconds to one await,
  which is proportionate for a label-accuracy issue.

Refuted: "avoid triggering preemption inside subagents". The premise —
that the run-wide poll can seal a subagent stream — does not hold
against the shipped SDK. Child graphs are constructed with
`subagentScope: true` (SubagentExecutor) and `preemption` is NOT
propagated into child inputs, while `canClaimPreemptSeal()` requires
`!subagentScope && preemption != null`. Both conditions fail
independently, so a subagent can never claim a seal and the boundary
cannot fire with `agentId` set. The `input.agentId != null` guard in
the hook is defensive depth, not the thing standing between us and the
described failure.

140 packages/api specs green.

* 🔁 fix: Codex round 4 — re-arm durable interrupt steers when resume moves owners

- An arm lives only in the owning replica's runtime plus a transient
  pub/sub message, while the steer's `preempt` flag is durable on the
  queue item. A HITL resume landing on a different replica therefore
  started with an empty armed set and a poll stuck false, so an
  interrupt the user had already been ACKed for silently waited for an
  ordinary tool boundary. New `GenerationJobManager.rearmQueuedPreempts`
  rebuilds the armed set by peeking the durable queue (fenced on the
  generation) and re-arming every item flagged `preempt`; resume calls
  it right after claiming. Safe by construction: every item peeked is
  still queued, so no drained steer can be resurrected.

- Capability-refresh failure now logs at error rather than warn, but
  deliberately does NOT fail the resume — see the reply on that thread.

Tests: +2 (rebuild from queue arms only the flagged item and reports
the count; a stale generation arms nothing). 124 packages/api steering
specs green.

* 📡 fix: Codex round 5 — acknowledge only what was actually armed

- A cross-replica arm was fire-and-forget: `emitPreempt` logged its own
  publish failure and `requestPreempt` returned void, so the route
  answered `preempt: true` even when the owner never armed a poll. The
  steer still injected at the next tool boundary, but the chip claimed
  an interrupt that could not happen — and unlike HITL resume, an
  ordinary running generation had no durable reconciliation to recover
  it.

  `emitPreempt` now resolves to the subscriber count and rejects on
  failure; `requestPreempt` is async and returns whether the arm truly
  landed (owned locally, or delivered to at least one subscriber). The
  202 reports THAT rather than what was asked for, so the chip relabels
  to ordinary steering exactly as it does for a capability-degraded
  deployment. Errors are swallowed into `false` — an unarmed interrupt
  is a downgrade, never a failed steer.

- The owner capability is re-read immediately before enqueue rather
  than reused from the top of the guard ladder. `checkAgentAccess` and
  file resolution are awaits, so a request can span an entire HITL
  pause/resume that moves ownership to a replica with different
  capability and rewrites that very flag. Only paid for by requests
  that actually asked to interrupt.

Tests: +3 (not-armed when the publish reaches nobody; armed when this
replica owns the generation; a throwing publish downgrades instead of
propagating). 127 packages/api steering specs green.

* 🎯 fix: Codex round 6 — real ownership, confirmed disarms, and a CI regression of my own

Three review findings plus three CI failures the round-5 commit caused.

Review:
- Ownership came from `runtimeState`, which a cross-replica `getJob`
  populates with a FACADE runtime on any replica that merely read the
  job. Matching `createdAt` therefore proved only "we looked at this
  job", so a non-owner could arm nothing and report success. Ownership
  now comes from `ownedJobs`, the actual owner map.
- `armPreemptIds` returns how many ids it accepted, and a local arm is
  only reported as armed when one was. A tombstoned id (its steer
  drained at an ordinary boundary mid-request) no longer answers
  `preempt: true` for an interrupt that cannot happen.
- The cancel disarm is awaited. A dropped clear is worse than a dropped
  arm: the owner keeps a level-triggered request for a steer that no
  longer exists, seals its next chunk and truncates an unrelated
  answer. The boundary drain's own call stays non-blocking — there the
  owner is local, so the disarm is already effective and awaiting the
  informational publish would only delay injection.
- Subscriber count is NOT read as proof of owner receipt: the count
  includes this replica's own facade subscription. A successful publish
  reports armed, a rejected one does not. Documented rather than
  papered over — see the acknowledgement-semantics note on the PR.

CI regressions from round 5, all mine:
- `registerPreemptSubscription` was AWAITED at both runtime-init sites,
  so job creation blocked on a second Redis channel subscription and
  hung when that subscribe was slow. Abort is awaited because a missed
  abort strands a run; a missed preempt only degrades that steer to the
  next tool boundary, so it now registers without gating createJob.
- Two api specs mocked `@librechat/api` without the newly imported
  `isSteerPreemptSupported`, so the call threw before createJob; and one
  exact-match assertion needed the new `preemptCapable` metadata field.
- My own Redis integration spec asserted arm-before-clear ordering,
  which two publishes carry no guarantee of — the receiving tombstone
  exists precisely because of that. Now asserts delivery and payload
  fidelity, order-independent.

158 packages/api specs, 27 api specs green.

* 🧭 fix: Codex round 7 — settle the acknowledgement semantics (Option A)

Round 7's second finding is the incoherence I flagged on the PR: the
route persisted `preempt: true` on the durable queue item while
returning `preempt: false` when delivery could not be confirmed. Those
two then disagreed, and `rearmQueuedPreempts` trusts the DURABLE one —
so a resumed owner would honour an interrupt the client had explicitly
been told degraded to ordinary steering.

Rather than patch the disagreement, this settles the meaning:

`preempt` in the 202 means "queued as an interrupt request", NOT "a
seal is guaranteed". It mirrors `SteerQueueItem.preempt` exactly, so
the response, the durable record, and the resume-time re-arm can never
disagree. The gates that ARE knowable stay — the owner's recorded
capability and a successful enqueue. Everything past that degrades to
the documented fallback of injecting at the next tool boundary.

A route cannot synchronously know whether another replica will seal:
proving it needs a correlated request/response over pub-sub, and even
that only proves the owner heard, not that it is still streaming when
the arm lands. Four rounds of tightening this boolean each surfaced a
narrower case; the sequence does not converge, so the invariant is now
"the flag describes the durable decision" and an unconfirmed arm logs a
warning instead of rewriting the answer.

Also from this round: a failed disarm publish is retried once and its
outcome reported. `handleSteerCancel` keeps `removed: true` — the steer
really did leave the queue, and saying otherwise would make the client
re-show a chip for a steer that can never arrive — and adds
`disarmed: false` so the residual risk is visible rather than swallowed.
Damage stays bounded regardless: the empty-boundary self-clear disarms
the generation after a single seal.

Tests: +1 pinning the response/durable-flag invariant. 159
packages/api specs green.

* 🧹 fix: Codex round 8 — remove the unverifiable disarm signal

Round 8 found the same over-promise on the disarm side that round 7
corrected on the arm side, so this applies the same answer rather than
patching around it.

The `disarmed: false` field added in round 7 was both unreliable and
unused: a resolved publish is not proof the owner heard it (the
delivery count includes this replica's own facade subscription), and it
was never threaded into `CancelSteerResponse` or read by any client. A
signal that claims a certainty the transport cannot provide is worse
than no signal — it invites callers to trust it.

Removed from the response. The retry stays, because it genuinely
reduces the failure rate, and `noteSteersRemoved` still returns whether
the publish succeeded FOR LOGGING, now documented explicitly as
"published without error", not "the owner disarmed".

Disarm is best effort with a bounded, self-healing failure: if the
clear is lost the owner seals once, the empty-boundary self-clear
disarms the generation, and the turn is persisted `unfinished: true`
rather than silently truncated. Tightening that further needs a
correlated request/response over pub-sub with a timeout — noted on the
PR as the deliberate boundary of this design rather than an oversight.

130 packages/api steering specs green.

* 🧽 fix: Codex round 9 — spend snapshot arms on nonempty drains too

The round-6 scoping fix only cleared the pre-drain snapshot when the
drain came back EMPTY. On a nonempty drain the `finally` cleared just
the drained ids, so a stale arm — typically a cancel whose
cross-replica clear was lost — survived the boundary. It would then
immediately seal the continuation meant to answer the steer that had
just been injected, and land on an empty boundary as
`preempt_incomplete`: the interrupt appears to work, and the answer to
it is truncated.

A boundary that runs has spent its seal, so everything armed at
snapshot time is spent whether or not it came back from the drain. The
`finally` now clears the union of the snapshot and the drained ids.
Arms that land AFTER the snapshot are still spared — their queue items
are live and uninjected, which is the property round 6 added.

Also fixes an api-workspace CI failure of mine: `resume.spec.js` stubs
`GenerationJobManager` wholesale, and the round-3/4 resume work added
two calls (`updateMetadata`, `rearmQueuedPreempts`) the stub did not
define, so 34 specs threw. Stub extended.

Tests: +2 (a nonempty drain clears a stale snapshot arm; a nonempty
drain spares an arm that landed mid-drain). Counterfactually verified —
the stale-arm spec fails against the unfixed drain. 132 packages/api
specs, 60 resume specs green.

* fix: never let a failed preempt subscription reject into the void

registerPreemptSubscription is called detached at both sites, so a
rejected Redis SUBSCRIBE became an unhandled rejection — process-fatal
under Node's default --unhandled-rejections=throw. The comment already
promised this path merely degrades steering; it now does.

Swallowed and logged inside the registration rather than at each call
site, so a future third caller cannot reintroduce the trap. Losing the
channel costs this generation's cross-replica preempts, not the server:
same-replica arming is runtime state and still works, and remote arms
fall back to the next tool boundary.

Verified counterfactually — the new spec surfaces SUBSCRIBE failed as an
unhandled rejection against the unfixed registration.

* docs: state the real blast radius of a failed preempt subscription

LibreChat's own entrypoints install a global unhandledRejection handler
that logs and keeps serving, so the escaping rejection this guards was
never fatal to this server — only to another consumer of @librechat/api
that installs no handler. The fix stands either way; the comment just
should not overstate what it prevents.

* test: cover the cross-replica preempt hop with two manager instances

Every other preempt test runs against a single manager, so the hop that
actually carries an interrupt in production had no coverage: the steer POST
lands on whichever replica the balancer picks, which is usually not the one
generating. Non-owner publishes, owner arms, owner's level-triggered poll
flips — none of that was exercised end to end.

Two GenerationJobManagerClass instances are a faithful replica pair here.
runtimeState and ownedJobs are private instance fields, there is no
module-level mutable state between them, and createStreamServices duplicates
a dedicated subscriber connection per call, so separate OS processes would
exercise the same objects over the same Redis.

Both assertions verified counterfactually against real Redis:
- Deleting the preemptCapable deserialization in RedisJobStore fails this
  with 'Expected: true, Received: undefined' — the exact P1 that shipped past
  every in-memory test and would have made the feature a silent no-op on
  every Redis deployment.
- Dropping the non-owner arm publish fails it with 'Received: false'.

* test: remove the fixed sleeps and vacuity from the cross-replica preempt test

Codex round 11, both findings, both on the test I added last commit.

P2 — the 300ms waits were load-bearing. Redis pub/sub never replays and the
owner's SUBSCRIBE is detached, so on a slow CI worker the publish could land
before anyone was listening and the test would fail against correct code.
Now it republishes until the owner's state converges, which is safe because
arms and clears are idempotent set writes keyed by steerId. Side effect: the
tests got ~10x faster (85ms/57ms vs 929ms/606ms) since they finish on
delivery rather than on a timer.

P3 — afterEach destroyed only the transports, leaving each manager alive in
its own cleanup-interval closure, still working against a dead transport.
Now tracks the managers and awaits destroy(), which disposes the job store
and its timer too. Matches how the rest of this file cleans up.

Fixing the sleeps exposed a third problem codex did not flag: the stale-arm
test could pass vacuously, because an undelivered arm and a fenced one look
identical. It now brackets the stale publish between two control arms — the
first proves the owner is listening before the stale one is sent, the second
proves it has had its chance to arrive.

Verified counterfactually against real Redis, and stable over 5 runs:
- dropping the preemptCapable deserialization fails with 'Received: undefined'
- dropping the non-owner arm publish times out both tests
- removing the generation fence fails the stale test with
  ["control-before", "steer-stale", "control-after"] — which also confirms
  the bracketing orders as intended rather than by luck

* fix: gate interrupt on the OWNER's capability alone, not the route's

Codex round 12. The comment above this gate already said 'the OWNER's
recorded capability, not this replica's probe' — and then the code ANDed in
isSteerPreemptSupported(), which is exactly this replica's probe. The
contradiction dates to the original commit; round 6 made the gate
owner-scoped and wrote that comment without removing the local conjunct.

The route never seals. It enqueues and publishes an arm, neither of which
touches the SDK, so during a rolling deploy a steer landing on an
un-upgraded replica silently lost its interrupt even though the owner could
seal. When the route IS the owner the probe is redundant anyway: the flag it
would consult is the one this process wrote at createJob.

The real degradation path is unchanged and still tested — an owner that
recorded no capability relabels to an ordinary steer. The test that pinned
the local probe asserted an impossible same-replica state (capable metadata
plus an incapable local SDK, when the metadata is written from that probe);
it now pins the mixed-SDK direction instead, and fails with
'Expected: true, Received: false' if the probe is put back.

* fix: reconcile arms at handover, and stop holding the 202 on a publish

Codex round 13, two of three findings.

P2 — rearmQueuedPreempts only ever ADDED. A replica that merely read the job
still installs a facade runtime and subscribes, so it can accept an arm and
then miss the best-effort clear that follows the drain. HITL resume promotes
that facade to owner, the union keeps the orphan, and the first resumed
stream seals on a steer no longer in the queue, drains nothing, and
truncates the resumed answer as preempt_incomplete. acquireResumedJobOwnership
only sets ownedJobs, so nothing else was clearing it. The durable queue is
the sole authority at a handover: arms it does not back are now disarmed and
tombstoned, so an in-flight publish cannot revive them either.

Worth recording that my own independent review raised this and my verifier
refuted it. Codex found it separately; two reviewers converging should have
outweighed one refutation.

P2 — the route awaited the arm publish before answering. The 202 reports
capability, not delivery, so the await could not change the response; it only
exposed the caller to Redis latency after the queue item was already durable.
A client that times out and retries mints a second steer while the first
stays queued, injecting the same instruction twice, whereas a lost publish
merely takes the tool-boundary fallback. Detached, with both outcomes logged.

All three tests verified counterfactually: union-only rearm fails the two new
handover specs, and re-awaiting the publish hangs the stalled-publish spec
until jest kills it.

* fix: snapshot arms before reading the queue at handover

Codex round 14 — a regression from my own round-13 fix, and a worse failure
than the one it corrected.

Round 13 read the durable queue first, then tombstoned any armed id the
snapshot did not back. But approvals.resolve reopens steering before
reconciliation runs, so another replica can commit a preempt steer and
publish its arm while the peek is in flight. That arm is then present locally
but absent from a snapshot taken before the steer existed, so a LIVE
interrupt the route already acknowledged got dropped — and tombstoned, which
blocks the re-arm, making it unrecoverable rather than merely late.

Fixed by inverting the two reads rather than by locking or paying a second
round trip. A steer is durably enqueued BEFORE its arm is published, so any
id in an arms-first snapshot was already queued when it was armed, and the
later peek must observe it unless it has since drained — which is exactly the
orphan this reconciliation exists to drop. Arms landing after the snapshot
are simply not candidates.

Also re-checks runtime identity across the await, since the generation can be
replaced while the queue read is in flight.

New spec injects a steer + arm during the peek and verifies it survives;
against the round-13 ordering it fails with Received array: [].

* fix: bound the cancel disarm wait and fence enqueue to its generation

Codex round 15.

P2 — the cancel awaited its disarm publish unbounded. ioredis queues
commands during an outage rather than rejecting, so that await could hang for
the length of the outage with the steer ALREADY durably cancelled; a client
that gives up then treats the cancel as failed and restores a chip for a
steer that can never produce an applied event. Every successful cancel
publishes, so ordinary steers were exposed too, not only preemptive ones.
Now bounded at 1s, with the publish continuing behind it — its retry and
logging are unchanged, it is just no longer in front of the response. This is
the sibling of round 13's arm-publish finding; I fixed one path and left this
one.

P3 — enqueue was not fenced to the generation the capability decision was
made against. The access checks, file resolution and owner re-read are all
awaits, so the run can be replaced before the enqueue: the item then lands on
the REPLACEMENT queue while the durable preempt flag and the arm still name
the previous epoch, the arm is fenced out at the owner, and the 202 promises
an interrupt that cannot happen. enqueueSteer now takes an expected
generation, mirroring drain/peek, and the Redis path enforces it inside
STEER_ENQUEUE_LUA so the check is atomic with the push rather than racing it.

All three new specs verified counterfactually, including the Lua guard
against real Redis (removing it returns 1 where -1 is required).

* fix: fence the steer to its authorized generation, bound resume setup, keep preempt when Redis parks

Codex round 16, all three findings.

P2 — round 15 fenced the enqueue to owner.createdAt, the RE-READ job. Every
guard above it (ownership, tenant, paused-state, agent ACL) ran against the
job read at the top, so if the run was replaced during those awaits the fence
happily accepted the steer into a generation the request was never authorized
against, carrying the wrong agent's metadata. Now rejects on any mismatch
between the validated job and the re-read.

P2 — resume awaited its steering bookkeeping unbounded, after
approvals.resolve had consumed the action and flipped the job to running, and
outside the resume lifecycle's own try/finally. .catch does not fire on a
promise that never settles, which is what ioredis produces during an outage,
so the client times out, its retry gets a 409 for a spent action, and no
cleanup runs. Bounded at 1s with the writes finishing in the background.

P3 — Redis parks leftover steers inside its terminal-transition Lua, which
projects item fields one by one, so preempt was silently dropped and a steer
recovered from /chat/status lost its interrupting label. Added to both
projections.

All three verified counterfactually, two against real Redis. Worth recording
that my first version of the generation-mismatch test was VACUOUS — it faked
a createdAt matching no live job, so the round-15 enqueue fence rejected it
for the wrong reason and the test passed with the guard removed. Rewritten to
replace the run for real; it now fails with 'Expected 404, Received 202'.

*  feat: Activity Groups with Fast-Model Labels

Groups each contiguous block of reasoning + tool calls into a collapsible
unit headed by a fast-model label (claude.ai-style hierarchy), off the
critical path: a PostToolBatch hook claims a live content slot at the
batch boundary (steering index-offset pattern), renders a deterministic
counts phrase instantly, and swaps in the generated label ~1s later while
the next model call streams. Labels are UI-only — stripped before the SDK
formatter and skipped in the legacy formatter — and reach live clients
via a dedicated on_activity_label SSE event (live/replay/pending paths).

Grouping preserves legacy rendering byte-for-byte when no label part is
present. Generation bridges to Run.generateActivityLabel() when the SDK
ships it (session-grouped Langfuse tracing); falls back to a direct call
today. Env-gated: ACTIVITY_LABELS_POC=true, ACTIVITY_LABEL_MODEL.

* 🧷 fix: Address Codex and Copilot Review Findings for Activity Labels

- Settle in-flight label fills (bounded 3s) before finalization on both
  the main and resume paths, so a label resolving during the final batch
  still reaches the durable log and saved message.
- Overlay on_activity_label chunks in RedisJobStore content
  reconstruction (splice path last-wins per index; replay path
  chronological overwrite), matching steer handling.
- Wire activity labels into the HITL resume createRun so post-resume
  batches keep claiming slots.
- Guard against out-of-order publishes: fill() awaits the claim emit
  before emitting the resolved label, and the client applier ignores a
  stale pending placeholder once a resolved label is present.
- Stamp the batch's groupId onto label parts so parallel-column runs
  place them inside their group instead of filtering them out.
- Localize the counts fallback phrase (10 keys, singular/plural) through
  useLocalize across chat rendering and exports.
- Type the hook with Providers/ClientOptions instead of stringly types;
  drop the unknown cast in the spec; add a dedicated rAF retry ref for
  label events with effect cleanup.

* 🛡️ fix: Address Independent Review — Abort, Usage, Lane Context, Redis Test

- Propagate the run abort signal into label generation (both wiring call
  sites; runtime combines host + dispatch signals with the timeout) so a
  user abort cancels in-flight label calls instead of paying to timeout.
- Record label-call usage like titles: the SDK bridge aggregates via
  chainOptions callbacks, the fallback path via a per-generation callback
  factory; both feed recordCollectedUsage under context 'activity-label'.
- Scope block-context capture: reasoning collection stops at the previous
  block's label part and filters by executingAgentId, so consecutive or
  parallel batches can no longer bleed another block's thinking into the
  payload; intent text still scans past labels (persists across batches).
- Forward the effective charLimit to the SDK call so host and SDK prompts
  agree (SDK default aligned to 600 in agents#327).
- Add a Redis integration test proving last-write-wins reconstruction of
  on_activity_label chunks per claimed index.
- Rebased onto main: only the two activity commits replay (the nine
  steering commits belonged to the old base branch), zero conflicts,
  steering suites green.

* 📐 refactor: Move Activity-Label Wiring to TypeScript, Address Codex Round 2

- [P1] Slot claiming, lane stamping, emit ordering, context capture, and
  settle tracking now live in packages/api (createActivityLabelWiring +
  captureActivityBlockContext); client.js is a thin closure wrapper.
- Register the activity-label hook BEFORE the steer drain so a steer
  draining at the same batch boundary cannot flush the tool block and
  orphan the label outside its group.
- Resolve request-based header placeholders in resolveActivityLabelLLM
  (titleConvo parity) so metadata-keyed proxies work on label calls.
- Trim labels centrally before filling so whitespace-only output from
  either generation path keeps the deterministic counts fallback.

* 🧭 fix: Codex Round 3 — Capture Order, Shared Strip, Token Estimator, Hide Filter

- Capture block context BEFORE pushing the label part: the scan stops at
  ACTIVITY_LABEL parts, so post-push capture hit the just-inserted label
  and silently collected no reasoning excerpts (regression test added).
- Share stripActivityLabelParts from packages/api and apply it in the
  Responses and OpenAI-compatible controllers, closing the replay leak
  for entry points still running SDKs without the formatter skip.
- Exclude activity_label parts from the fallback response-token estimator
  (UI-only parts must not inflate no-usage provider billing).
- Keep label parts explicitly under hide_sequential_outputs — they
  summarize exactly the outputs that mode hides.

* 🔁 fix: Codex Round 4 — Resume Gap, Delta Flush, Agent-Scoped Intent, Token Counter

- Synthesize on_activity_label events for labels claimed or filled in the
  snapshot→subscribe window (the publish is fire-and-forget, so Redis-mode
  reconnects missed them). Feature-gated so the default path adds no
  content re-read; the client applier already ignores duplicates.
- Flush queued deltas before applying a label part, matching the pending-
  action and steer appliers — without it the handler read a stale message
  cache and syncStepMessage pushed a pre-delta copy back.
- Skip another agent's tail text when resolving intent, so parallel runs
  cannot seed a label prompt with a sibling agent's narration.
- Exclude activity_label parts from countFormattedMessageTokens (the
  agent-path counter), not just the legacy BaseClient one.

* 🏗️ refactor: Codex Round 5 — Extract Label Host Logic, Report Usage, Icon Strip

- Move provider/model resolution, usage-metadata mapping, and the settle
  loop into packages/api (activityLabels/host.ts); client.js keeps only
  thin delegations, per the repo's TypeScript-implementation convention.
- Fold label usage into the response rollup with an 'activity-label' tag
  (subagent precedent) so metadata.usage and the live cost gauge account
  for it; tagged, so it stays out of PRIMARY usage/context pairing.
- Narrow tool metadata once in ToolCallGroup so THINK parts in a labeled
  block no longer render phantom generic icons in the stacked strip.
- Import the activity-label helpers by deep path in GenerationJobManager:
  the package barrel now reaches provider-config/cache modules that
  import back into the stream layer, and the cycle broke suite loading.

Declined: resetting steerOffsetState before HITL resume — resume builds a
FRESH AgentClient via initializeClient (initialize.js:978), so the offset
is already zero; the seed wrapper alone accounts for pre-pause parts.

* 🚦 fix: Codex Round 6 — Stream Label Usage, Close Late Fills

- Emit an on_token_usage chunk for label calls (sink push alone left the
  live session gauge blind); retained in pendingSubagentEmits so job
  cleanup cannot race the persist, tagged 'activity-label' as before.
- Close the label scope when settle times out: the wiring gates fill() on
  isClosed and the client fires a label-scoped AbortController, so a
  straggling generation can neither mutate a saved response nor emit into
  a job whose runtime is gone. The controller also chains to the run
  signal, so a user abort still cancels label work.

* 🩹 fix: Repair CI — Package Typecheck and Module Mocks

Local runs covered the client tsconfig and jest, but never packages/api's
own tsconfig, so nine type errors in the extracted host module shipped.

- Type host.ts against the real contracts: ServerRequest, EndpointDbMethods,
  AppConfig from @librechat/data-schemas, IUser for createSafeUser, and a
  MaybeAzureConfig view for the azure instance-name probe and configuration.
- Widen resolveConfigHeaders' llmConfig to Partial<RunLLMConfig>: it only
  reads the three provider header carriers, so auxiliary generations with a
  bare ClientOptions can resolve headers without assembling a run config.
  Type-only widening; every existing caller still satisfies it.
- Add stripActivityLabelParts to the @librechat/api mock in the OpenAI and
  Responses controller specs — those mocks enumerate exports, so a new
  import read as undefined and threw before the assertions ran.
- Use the real activity-label helpers in the ToolCallGroup spec's ~/utils
  mock; stubbing them out would hide the header logic under test.

* ⚙️ feat: Configure Activity Labels via librechat.yaml, Drop Env Vars

Replaces the ACTIVITY_LABELS_POC / ACTIVITY_LABEL_MODEL env gate with
per-endpoint settings, following the title options convention rather than
a top-level block — each endpoint picks its own cheap label model.

- Add activity, activityModel, activityEndpoint, activityPrompt,
  activityMaxPerRun, and activityCharLimit to the endpoint schema, and to
  the endpoints.all pick list (enumerated, so 'all:' would otherwise drop
  them silently).
- resolveActivityConfig reads them with title-style precedence:
  endpoints.all > named endpoint > custom endpoint config.
- Model precedence is now activityModel > titleModel > the agent's model.
  activityEndpoint runs labels on another endpoint's credentials, with
  titleConvo's fallback-on-unknown-name behavior.
- Thread activityPrompt/MaxPerRun/CharLimit through the wiring into the
  hook and the SDK bridge; they were hardcoded defaults.
- The resume gap-repair gate keyed on the env var; it now keys on the
  snapshot actually containing label parts, so deployments without the
  feature still perform no extra content read.
- Document the fields in librechat.example.yaml; add host.spec.ts
  covering precedence, custom-endpoint fallback, and opt-out.

* 📝 refactor: Rename Enable Flag to activityLabel, Document Schema Inheritance

- Rename the boolean from `activity` to `activityLabel`, matching the
  titleConvo/titleModel shape: a verb-object toggle whose prefix matches
  its modifiers (activityModel, activityPrompt, ...). `activity: true`
  alone read ambiguously — it could mean tracking or logging activity.
- Document the two endpoint-schema inheritance paths, which behave
  oppositely and are ~900 lines apart:
  * `endpoints.all` omits from baseEndpointSchema, so new options are
    inherited automatically — nothing to maintain.
  * `azureEndpointSchema` enumerates via .pick(), so a new option is
    silently unavailable on Azure endpoints until listed there.
  The activity block now carries a pointer to the Azure caveat.

* 🔍 fix: Address Codex Findings on the Config Rework

- Pass the matched custom-endpoint config into the label gate. Custom
  endpoints live in the `endpoints.custom` ARRAY, so without it every
  custom endpoint resolved as disabled — including the example this PR
  added to librechat.example.yaml.
- Give label usage a unique `runId:seq`. Label usage is billed but never
  appended to `collectedUsage`, so its length was static: every label
  event reused the last primary usage's pair and collided with itself,
  and the client dedupes on exactly that.
- Attach `cost` to label usage when `interface.contextCost` is on;
  aggregateEmittedUsage treats coverage as all-or-nothing, so an event
  without it suppressed the whole response's cost.
- Honor `activityPrompt` on the direct fallback path, not just the SDK
  bridge — it previously always used the built-in instruction.
- Seed the per-response label cap from labels already on the response so
  a HITL resume cannot mint a fresh quota after every approval.
- Reconcile label gaps on resume via a durable per-job `activityLabels`
  flag instead of probing the snapshot: the FIRST label of a run can be
  claimed inside the snapshot->subscribe window, which the old signal
  missed. The flag is read from a job record already fetched there, so
  runs without the feature still add no content read.
- Auto-collapse labeled single-tool groups; one-call batches are common
  in agent runs and rendering them expanded defeats the grouping.

* 🎯 fix: Correct Label Usage Seq, Cross-Endpoint Pricing, Close Scopes

- Give label usage a NEGATIVE seq namespace. The previous fix was wrong:
  seq is a position in `collectedUsage` (push, then emit with the new
  length), so sink-length + array-length still lands on a real position —
  primary emits 1, the label computes 2, the next primary also emits 2.
  Labels have no position at all (billed separately, never appended), so
  they now occupy a namespace positional sequences cannot reach. The
  client key is a string used for Set membership, so the sign is inert.
- Price cross-endpoint labels with the LABEL endpoint's token config:
  resolveActivityLabelModel now returns the resolved endpointTokenConfig,
  and both the streamed cost and recordCollectedUsage use it instead of
  the agent endpoint's rates.
- Make close state per-wiring rather than per-client. A HITL resume
  rebuilds the wiring, and resetting a shared flag re-opened closures from
  the pre-pause segment whose provider call ignored the abort; settle now
  closes every retained scope, past generations included.

* 🎯 fix: Make the Activity Header Say Something the Cards Cannot

The header read "ran 1 command" next to a card already labeled "Code" —
it restated the UI beneath it instead of adding to it. Two causes, both
about content rather than timing:

- A deterministic tool-type tally was the primary display and also fed
  the prompt, so the best case was a tally and the worst case was a
  tally dressed as prose. Removed from the metadata, the prompt, the
  part type, and the client.
- The instruction only ever reached the fallback path. The wiring
  passed a prompt only when  was configured, so the
  preferred SDK path silently used the published package default. The
  wiring now always supplies one and the hook forwards it on both
  paths.

The register is rewritten around what the cards cannot show:
past-tense git-commit-subject, leading with the distinctive noun,
outcome over attempt, tool names and counts and arguments explicitly
forbidden. The batch entries are labeled as reference material so the
model stops transcribing them.

Claiming a slot no longer emits. The slot still reserves its index so
streamed parts never collide, but with nothing to say there is nothing
to render: until a description exists the block looks exactly as it
does without the feature.

* 🧹 fix: Drop the Localize Hook Left Unused by the Counts Removal

*  test: Add Activity-Label e2e Coverage with a Recording Label Server

Activity labels are the one model call a mock run does not already fake:
fake-model.js swaps the GRAPH model via overrideTestModel, while
run.generateActivityLabel() calls the endpoint resolved client options
over HTTP. The custom endpoints already point baseURL at 127.0.0.1:8889,
so serving that port exercises the real path with no production seam.

fake-label-server.js answers it in both JSON and SSE form, records each
prompt, and can inject blank/error responses. Recording is what lets the
spec assert the CONTRACT rather than the rendering: that this repo
register and the tool OUTPUTS actually reach the model. That is the bug
class that produced unusable labels before, and rendered text looks
identical whether or not the instruction arrived.

Labels get a dedicated endpoint (Mock Provider E). A labeled block
auto-collapses even at one tool call, which hides the tool cards other
specs assert on -- enabling this on a shared endpoint broke
steering.spec.ts. Provider D is the unlabeled control.

Request-count assertions are scoped to a per-test token: a 5xx label
response is retried by the provider client, and a retry can land after
the next test has reset the server.

* 🩹 fix: Address Review Findings on Activity-Label Indexing and Pricing

Replay index (P1). Reserving the slot only in server memory left no event
for it, so a cross-instance replay rebuilt content as [tool, hole, later],
compacted the hole away, and the fill for the reserved index landed on the
following part and overwrote it. The claim now publishes the empty,
pending part so the index is real for every consumer, and fill publishes
even when generation returned nothing so the client cannot stay pending.

It stays invisible: an empty label still DELIMITS its batch in
groupSequentialToolCalls but is not attached as the header, so grouping
does not re-shuffle when the text lands and the block renders exactly as
it does with the feature off.

Edited-response index (P1). Edit-and-resubmit replays the kept prefix and
the server indexes only new content, so run steps offset by that prefix.
Labels are claimed in the same space and now take the identical shift;
without it a label could land inside the prefix and overwrite it.

Redis flag. deserializeJob never read activityLabels back, so every Redis
reload left it undefined and resume skipped label gap reconciliation.

Executing agent. RunActivityLabelOptions.agentId selects the executing
agent tracing metadata AND its tool-output redaction policy; omitting it
let a handoff be redacted under the default agent configuration.

Label pricing. An undefined endpointTokenConfig is meaningful for a
built-in label endpoint (priced from the shared table), so the nullish
fallback billed those labels at a custom primary rates. Inherit only when
the label runs on the agent own endpoint.

HITL usage sequence. runId is the response message id and the counter was
instance-local, so a resume restarted at -1 and the client runId:seq
deduper discarded the post-approval label usage. Seeded past the labels
already on the response.

Also distinguishes "cannot serve" (undefined) from "no label" (null) in
the SDK bridge, so a missing run falls back to the direct call instead of
filling the slot empty. Version gating already happens at wiring time via
the sdkCapable prototype probe.

* 🩹 fix: Keep Unfilled Activity Labels Invisible and Unmask Endpoint Settings

Follow-up review round. Publishing the reservation on every batch made two
latent rendering paths reachable on every run, and both are fixed here.

Empty labels no longer change grouping. The previous pass still formed a
tool-group for a textless label, which wrapped even a single tool call and
pulled THINK parts inside it — and since a reservation is published the
moment each batch ends, that applied during every generation and
permanently after a blank or failed fill. An empty label now flushes the
legacy way instead: it still delimits its batch, but the block re-splits
exactly as it renders with the feature off.

Parallel lanes no longer show a blank line. Lanes render raw parts, so an
unfilled label had nothing to draw; empty ones are dropped. Making labels
act as collapsible headers inside lanes is still a separate gap.

Edited responses no longer offset on resume. The sync replaces
initialResponse.content with the server's aggregatedContent, which already
contains the kept prefix AND everything generated since — so its length is
not the prefix length, and indices reconciled from that snapshot are
already absolute. Offsetting again pushed the label past its slot onto a
later part. The shift now applies only to a fresh edited submission.

Activity settings resolve field by field. Selecting one config object
whole meant any endpoints.all block — even one carrying nothing but
headers — shadowed the named or custom endpoint and silently disabled
activity labels everywhere. Global still wins per field.

Adds groupToolCalls coverage for the invisible-while-empty contract, which
is the part most likely to regress: it is normal state on every run, not
an edge case.

* 🔒 fix: Scope Detached Label Writes to Their Generation Epoch

Epoch scoping (P1). Label generation is detached and can outlive the
generation that started it. emitChunk only proves that SOME runtime is
current, not that the caller belongs to it, so an aborted generation's
fill(null) -- and its usage event -- could be attributed to whichever
generation replaced it, landing an index from the abandoned response on
top of the new one. Because an empty label renders nothing, that
overwrote content silently. emitChunk now takes an optional jobCreatedAt
and drops the event when the runtime epoch differs, mirroring the
existing setGraph/setContentParts convention, and both label emitters
pass it.

An abort now CLOSES the label scope instead of only cancelling the call:
the rejected generation still runs its catch and calls fill(null), which
would otherwise emit into a stream the next generation may already own.

Edited-response indexing (P1). The previous pass skipped the prefix
offset on resume, which was the wrong half of the problem: a sync
replaces initialResponse.content with the server's aggregatedContent,
which is completion-local, so after a reconnect its length is not the
kept-prefix length and the offset is wrong -- but it is wrong for run
steps in exactly the same way. Tool cards and the label that heads them
must share one index space; a label shifting differently from its tools
lands on another part. The label path now uses the identical expression
as useStepHandler, with no resume special-case. Correcting the
post-resume prefix length belongs in calculateContentIndex, where it
fixes both at once.

titleModel masking. The activity settings were made per-field last pass,
but the titleModel fallback a few lines below still selected an entire
config object, so a partial endpoints.all (for example one carrying only
headers) hid a named endpoint's titleModel and quietly fell the label
back to the main agent model. Both now read through one shared per-field
helper.

Resume reconciliation no longer depends solely on markActivityLabels,
which is best-effort yet had come to gate correctness: a lost flag write
silently dropped a label. The snapshot is consulted as a fallback.

The exported host type for generateLabel now admits undefined, which is
the documented "cannot serve, fall back to the direct call" signal the
hook keys on -- distinct from null, meaning it ran and produced nothing.

* 🧷 fix: Keep Group Identity Stable and Memoize Label Endpoint Resolution

Group remount. Tool-group identity was keyed on the first part in the
block. An activity label absorbs the block's leading THINK part the moment
its text lands, so the key flipped from tool:<id> to fallback:<scope>:<idx>
mid-run, remounting the group and discarding whatever the user had
expanded. The key now scans for the first tool call, which does not move
when the block re-forms.

Label endpoint resolution is memoized per response. It reads provider
config and can hit the database for user keys, yet nothing it depends on
changes between batches of one run — and it ran twice per batch, once for
generation and once for usage accounting. The promise is cached rather
than the value so concurrent batches share a single in-flight resolution,
and a rejection is evicted so one transient credential failure cannot
disable labels for the rest of the response.

* 🎯 fix: Offset Edited Resubmissions by a Prefix Length That Survives Resume

The server indexes only NEW content for an edited resubmission, so the
client offsets incoming indices by the prefix it retained. That prefix was
read as initialResponse.content.length, which is correct only until a
resume: the sync replaces that array with the server's completion-local
snapshot, whose length is unrelated to the prefix. After a reconnect every
offset was therefore wrong -- run steps and activity labels alike -- and
could write over content the edit kept. For a label the symptom is worse
than a bad position: the fill misses its own reservation, so the pending
placeholder is never resolved.

The prefix length is now captured when the submission is built, while
initialResponse.content still IS the retained prefix, and carried on the
submission as editPrefixLength. calculateContentIndex takes that length
instead of deriving it from an array that a resume may have replaced, so
run steps and labels share one index space by construction rather than by
both happening to read the same field.

Note the prefix is the FULL original content with the edited part
substituted in place (useChatFunctions clones latestMessage.content and
mutates one entry) -- it is not a slice, so the length cannot be inferred
from editedContent.index.

Group identity no longer changes when a label fills. Tool-group keys were
derived from the first part in the block; an activity label absorbs the
leading THINK part when its text lands, flipping the key mid-run and
remounting the group, which discarded the user's expansion state. The key
now scans for the first tool call, which does not move.

Label endpoint resolution is memoized per response. It reads provider
config and can hit the database for user keys, yet ran twice per batch --
once to generate, once for usage accounting -- while nothing it depends on
changes within a run. The promise is cached so concurrent batches share one
in-flight resolution, and rejections are evicted so a transient credential
failure cannot disable labels for the rest of the response.

The resume gap passes for steers and activity labels now share a single
lazy content read instead of each issuing its own. The label pass stays
gated on the run flag with a snapshot fallback: reconciling
unconditionally would also close the residual first-label window, but it
would bill a read to every resume of every run, including deployments with
the feature off -- which the steer pass deliberately avoids. That residual
requires a lost flag write, which shares fate with the content writes the
labels live in.

* 💵 fix: Bill Cross-Endpoint Labels at Their Own Rates

recordCollectedUsage never accepted an endpointTokenConfig, so the value
the activity-label caller passed was dropped and the balance transaction
was written at the primary agent's rates. Only the UI cost honored the
label endpoint, so a custom primary pointing activityEndpoint at another
endpoint showed one price and charged another. The parameter is now
accepted, and an explicit config wins outright over per-agent resolution:
that map is keyed by AGENT, so it cannot describe usage that ran on a
different endpoint.

Group identity is stable for id-less tool calls too. The previous pass
anchored the key to the first tool call ID; where a supported tool call
carries no id the fallback still used the block's first part index, which
shifts when a filled label absorbs the leading THINK part. The fallback now
anchors to the first TOOL entry's index, so only a block containing no
tool call at all keys off parts[0].

markActivityLabels is retried rather than fire-and-forget. It gates resume
gap reconciliation and is a SEPARATE write from the durable label append,
so a single lost write silently drops a label the content itself recorded.
The earlier "shared fate with content writes" reasoning was wrong. One
retry at run setup costs nothing and removes the only realistic way the
gate goes stale, without billing a content read to every resume.

* 🧮 fix: Stop Offsetting Once SYNC Drops the Edited Prefix

The edit offset was applied unconditionally, but whether it is correct
depends on which branch SYNC took. SYNC either preserves the content
already loaded for the response -- which still contains the retained
prefix, so the offset is required -- or replaces it with the server's
aggregatedContent, which is completion-local and indexed from zero, after
which any offset writes past the end of a now shorter array.

That is why the two previous attempts each fixed half of it: skipping the
offset on resume was right for the replace branch, applying it
unconditionally was right for the preserve branch, and neither holds on its
own. The offset now tracks the actual state of the rendered content.

For an activity label the replace branch was worse than a bad position:
the fill landed past its own reservation, so the pending placeholder was
never resolved and the block kept its generic header for the rest of the
run.

Applied to run steps as well, not just labels. useStepHandler reads the
prefix from the same submission and had the same unconditional offset, so
after a mid-session resume of an edited response tool cards were misplaced
too. Normalizing at the dispatch boundary keeps both in ONE index space by
construction: a label that shifted differently from the tools it heads
would land on another part.

Note the reload path was already coherent -- useResumeOnLoad rebuilds the
submission without editedContent or editPrefixLength, giving no offset
against server-supplied content -- so only the mid-session SYNC path was
inconsistent.

* 🧾 fix: Keep Label Accounting Out of the Primary Usage Slot

Label usage no longer owns getStreamUsage(). recordCollectedUsage assigned
its result to this.usage unconditionally, so when the primary provider
reported no usage metadata but the label provider did, BaseClient took the
label's output tokens as the assistant response's authoritative count. The
later primary call returns early on an empty collectedUsage and never
replaced it, so the wrong value stood, the text-based fallback was skipped,
and the real generation went unbilled. Secondary usage is still billed but
no longer writes that slot.

Cross-endpoint pricing keys off an explicit discriminator rather than the
presence of a value. A built-in label endpoint prices from the shared
table, so an undefined endpointTokenConfig is its MEANINGFUL value --
reading that as "no override" fell back to the primary's custom rates and
restored the exact mismatch the previous pass set out to fix. The caller
already knows whether the label ran elsewhere and now says so.

markActivityLabels rejects on failure instead of swallowing it. The flag
gates resume gap reconciliation and the caller retries it, but the internal
catch resolved successfully and made that retry unreachable -- so the two
changes cancelled out and a transient write failure still left the flag
absent.

Late label accounting is suppressed with the same gate as the late fill. A
straggler that outlived the settle timeout still ran its finally block, so
it charged the balance and appended to usageEmitSink after the response had
passed its usage flush and metadata snapshot: a cost the user pays but is
never shown.

The cleared-prefix state is scoped to one generation. It was set on a
resume SYNC that replaced the response and then never reset, so a later
edited resubmission in the same mounted hook dispatched run steps and
labels with no offset against content that still held its retained prefix.
Reconnects pass isResume and keep the state; a new generation clears it.

* 🔑 fix: Key Prefix State to the Stream and Honor current_model for Labels

The cleared-prefix reset keyed on isResume, which skips exactly the case it
was added for: a submission whose POST succeeded server-side but lost its
response is retried, comes back resumed: true, and subscribes in resume
mode even though it is a NEW generation. A previous generation's cleared
state then survived into it, and incoming run steps and labels applied no
offset against content that still held its retained prefix. The state is
now keyed to the stream id, which changes with the generation and stays put
across reconnects of one.

activityModel now honors current_model. The options are documented as
title-shaped and the titleModel fallback already excludes the sentinel, but
the higher-precedence activity override passed the literal string through to
getOptions and the provider, so an endpoint following that convention failed
every label instead of using the agent model.

* 🎯 fix: Key Prefix State to the Generation and Resolve the Run Model

The cleared-prefix state was keyed to the stream id, which never changes
within a conversation: request.js sets streamId = conversationId, so once a
reconnect cleared the state every later edited resubmission in that
conversation dispatched run steps and labels with no offset and could
overwrite the prefix it retained. It is now keyed to the response message
id, the only per-generation identity available here -- minted per
submission and carried through a resume unchanged.

That is the third identity tried for this state. isResume missed the
deduplicated-retry path (a lost response returns resumed: true for a new
generation); the stream id is conversation-scoped. The response id is the
boundary that actually matches a generation.

current_model labels now resolve the model the run is really using.
initializeAgent merges the request's endpointOption override into
model_parameters and the run gives it precedence, so preferring the saved
agent.model could send labels to a different, potentially unavailable or
more expensive model than the conversation is on.

* 🆔 fix: Key Prefix State to the Submission and Keep the Origin Title Model

Editing an assistant response reuses that response's messageId as
editedMessageId, and useChatFunctions carries it onto
initialResponse.messageId -- so re-editing the same response produced two
generations with the same key and the cleared-prefix state survived between
them, leaving run steps and labels with no offset against content the edit
retained. Keyed now to clientRequestId, the per-submission uuid, which is
minted fresh per edit attempt and forwarded unchanged on retries.

That is the fourth key this state has had, and each earlier one failed at a
real boundary: isResume missed the deduplicated-retry path, the stream id is
the conversation id, and the response message id is reused across edits of
one response. clientRequestId is the identity that actually means "this
submission".

The titleModel fallback is read from the ORIGINATING endpoint again, matching
how titleConvo captures its config before switching credentials. Reading it
after an activityEndpoint switch meant an OpenAI endpoint configured with
titleModel claude-haiku and activityEndpoint anthropic fell through to the
OpenAI run model and sent that name to Anthropic, failing every label. The
destination endpoint supplies credentials, not the model choice.

* 🧷 fix: Close the Remaining Edit, Epoch, and Scope Gaps for Labels

SYNC clears the edit prefix on the new-row branch too. When a resumed
edited submission cannot match an existing assistant row, that branch
builds the response straight from the server's completion-local
aggregatedContent, so it holds no retained prefix -- but the reset lived
only in the matched branch, leaving later steps and labels adding an
offset to indices that were already absolute.

Label usage is keyed per GENERATION. Editing one assistant response reuses
its responseMessageId while each fresh generation restarts
activityLabelUsageSeq, so a second edit re-emitted the same runId:seq and
the client discarded the newer usage while its balance transaction was
still written. The key now carries jobCreatedAt, the run's own epoch:
stable across reconnects and HITL resumes, distinct between generations.

The scope is revalidated at commit time. Checking once before the await let
a scope that closed mid-flight still charge the balance after finalization,
while the matching fill saw the closed scope and dropped the label --
billed but never surfaced, the exact outcome the guard exists to prevent.

The titleModel fallback no longer reaches the destination endpoint. With
activityEndpoint set and no titleModel on the originating endpoint, it
picked up the destination's, so changing only the credential target
silently changed the model and its cost. Precedence is activityModel, then
the originating endpoint's titleModel, then the run model; the destination
supplies credentials only.

* ✂️ refactor: Confine the Edit-Prefix Offset to Activity Labels

useStepHandler is now byte-identical to dev again. The resume-aware prefix
offset was applied there too, which was more correct in principle -- the
post-resume prefix length is genuinely wrong for run steps as well -- but it
changed index math that EVERY run step flows through, for every user,
including everyone who never enables activityLabel.

That shared correction needed five revisions in two days (isResume, the
stream id, the response message id, clientRequestId, and the SYNC new-row
branch), each passing the full suite and each failing at a boundary only
review found. Carrying it inside an opt-in feature put every user behind
logic with that track record. It belongs in its own change, with tests that
construct the edit-plus-resume states none of the current suites reach.

The offset now applies only where the label handler places its part, so
this PR cannot alter rendering for anyone with the feature off. The known
consequence is recorded in the description: with activity labels ENABLED,
an edited response that reconnects mid-generation can place its label and
its tool cards in different index spaces. That is a bug for opt-in users
rather than a regression for everyone, and it disappears once the shared
fix lands.

submission.editPrefixLength stays: the label path still needs a prefix
length that survives a SYNC replacing initialResponse.content.

* 🧾 fix: Commit Labels Before Billing and Keep Blank Slots Invisible

Round-nine review (all P2, feature-scoped):

- Billing ordering (client.js:409, runtime.ts): usage accounting ran
  BEFORE the slot commit on both generation paths, so the settlement
  deadline could expire during the balance write — charged, then the
  fill dropped as out-of-scope: billed, never shown. `slot.fill` now
  resolves a commit flag, generators register their accounting via
  `deferUsage`, and the hook runs it only after a committed fill.
- Scope gates (client.js:757): the direct-fallback `collect` omitted
  `scopeOpen`; both paths now gate on the OWNING wiring's scope, so a
  pre-pause straggler cannot bill because the resumed generation's
  scope is still open.
- Blank-label grouping (groupToolCalls.ts:81): a blank slot forced a
  flush, splitting adjacent single-call batches into standalone cards
  where the feature-off path merges them. Blank labels now only mark
  the claim boundary — structurally invisible, while a later filled
  label still cannot claim an earlier batch.
- Stale fill indices (wiring.ts:301): the skill-card unshift and the
  hide-sequential filter reshape contentParts before the finalization
  settle, so an in-flight fill emitted its claim-time index against a
  shifted array. Both completion paths now settle label fills before
  any post-run content reshaping (the finally settle stays as the
  error-path net; the second call sees an empty pending list).
- Bounded serialization (runtime.ts:238): `JSON.stringify` fully
  materialized unbounded tool results to keep 200/600 chars per entry.
  A budget-bounded serializer stops at the limit (which also bounds
  cyclic values) and preserves the exact truncate-with-ellipsis output.

Tests: fill/bill ordering + suppression on dropped fills (runtime.spec),
blank-slot merging and claim boundaries (groupToolCalls.test), bounded
serialization equivalence and giant-output truncation (runtime.spec).

* 🧮 fix: Keep Deferred Label Billing Inside the Settle Window

Self-review follow-up to the billing reorder: deferring usage until
after the commit moved it PAST the fill's resolution, so a settle keyed
on fills alone could let finalization flush the usage sink and snapshot
metadata while the label's billing was still in flight — the usage row
would silently miss the message rollup even on the happy path.

The hook now reports its whole detached task (generate → fill →
deferred usage) via a `trackTask` option, wired to the same settle
tracker as the fills, so finalization waits for billing exactly as it
did when accounting preceded the fill. The task never rejects. Pinned
in runtime.spec: the tracked task resolves only after usage collection.

* 🧰 fix: Harden Label Resolution, Output Bounds, and Cache Billing

Round-ten review (all P2, feature-scoped); the sixth finding is the
documented edited+reconnect index-space limitation, answered on-thread
as deliberately out of scope for this PR.

- Rejected-LLM memoization (runtime.ts): the hook cached a rejected
  `resolveLLM()` promise permanently, failing every later batch and
  silently defeating the host resolver's own rejected-cache eviction.
  The memo now evicts on rejection so the next batch retries.
- `current_model` precedence (host.ts): an explicit
  `activityModel: current_model` resolved to `undefined` and then lost
  to a configured `titleModel`. The sentinel now resolves straight to
  the run model; the title fallback applies only when `activityModel`
  is absent.
- Output bounds (runtime.ts): label text was persisted verbatim; a
  model ignoring the 4–9-word instruction (or steered by injection in
  untrusted tool output) could emit thousands of tokens duplicated
  through SSE, the chunk log, persistence, and the UI.
  `normalizeLabelOutput` keeps the first non-empty line, collapses
  whitespace, and hard-caps at 200 chars on both generation paths.
- Cache-token billing (host.ts, client.js): the usage mapper dropped
  cache fields, vanishing Anthropic cache tokens from billing and
  charging OpenAI cache reads at the full input rate. The mapper now
  normalizes Anthropic/OpenAI/LangChain cache shapes into
  `input_token_details`, and the emit + cost path carries them with the
  label endpoint's `provider` (additive-provider adjustment).
- Usage-type union (runs.ts): `TTokenUsageEvent.usage_type` now
  includes the emitted `activity-label` literal; the lone consumer
  keys on `usage_type != null`, so this is type-level completion.

Tests: sentinel/title/explicit model precedence and all three cache
shapes (host.spec), transient-resolution retry and output normalization
with truncation (runtime.spec), the new usage literal (runs.spec).

* 🪗 fix: Let Settled Labels Collapse Void Tools and Keep the Tail Cursor

Round-eleven review (all P2, client-side). Two fixed; the other two
findings restate documented Known limitations (edited+reconnect run-step
index space; parallel-lane collapsible headers), answered on-thread.

- Void-tool auto-collapse (ToolCallGroup.tsx): `allCompleted` keyed
  solely on output truthiness, so a tool that legitimately returns an
  empty string kept its labeled group expanded forever. A settled,
  filled label is itself a completion proof — the PostToolBatch claim
  only happens after every output in the batch returned — so it now
  satisfies `allCompleted`; pending labels keep the group live.
- Trailing-reservation cursor (ContentParts.tsx): a blank label
  reservation at the content tail renders nothing but still counted as
  the last part, stripping the streaming cursor and last-item
  affordances from the last VISIBLE part until the next delta.
  `lastContentIdx` now walks back past empty label slots.

Tests: labeled void-tool group auto-collapses, pending-label group
stays expanded (ToolCallGroup.test).

* 💳 fix: Price Label Cache Correctly, Honor endpoints.agents, Cancel Every Retry

Round-twelve review: four fixed here; the remaining P1 (move the
client.js bridge into packages/api) is an architecture call answered
on-thread for the maintainer.

- Provider on billed entries (client.js, P1): round ten added cache
  details to label usage entries but not `provider`, and `splitUsage`
  treats an unknown provider as additive — re-adding cache_read and
  cache_creation on top of an input count that already contains them,
  double-charging Anthropic/OpenAI cached label calls while the
  streamed cost (which carried the provider) disagreed. Every mapped
  entry now carries the label endpoint's provider.
- endpoints.agents honored (host.ts, client.js): `initializeAgent`
  rewrites `agent.endpoint` to the backing provider, so activity
  settings under the PUBLIC `agents` endpoint — valid config, inherited
  by `agentsEndpointSchema` — were silently ignored. Field resolution
  is now `all` > public endpoint > backing provider/custom, applied to
  both the enable gate and the model/titleModel resolution.
- E2E_LABEL_PORT reaches the YAML (playwright.config.mock.ts): an
  overridden port moved the fake label server and its health check but
  not the generated config's hard-coded 8889 baseURLs, so readiness
  passed while every label request targeted the wrong port. The
  override is now substituted into the generated copy.
- Every retry frame cancelled (useResumableSSE.ts): concurrent label
  retry chains (reservation + fill per slot) overwrote one rAF handle,
  so cleanup cancelled only the newest chain; the rest ran up to 120
  frames past unmount and could apply a stale label to a replacement
  generation reusing the same response id. Outstanding frame ids now
  live in a Set that cleanup drains.

Tests: public-endpoint gate/precedence/all-above-public (host.spec).

* 🖱️ fix: Keep the Last-Part Cursor in Parallel Lanes Too

Round-thirteen review (single P2): `ParallelContentRenderer` computed
`lastContentIdx` from the unfiltered array, so a trailing blank label
reservation — filtered out of every lane — left NO rendered part
carrying the last-part cursor and running-subagent affordances until
the label filled.

The sequential renderer's walk-back is extracted into a shared
`lastVisibleContentIdx` helper (utils/activityLabels) used by both
`ContentParts` and `ParallelContentRenderer`, so the two index spaces
cannot drift again. Behavior pinned in activityLabels.spec: trailing
blank skipped, consecutive blanks skipped, filled label counts,
label-free content unchanged.

* 🧹 chore: Alias the Retry-Frame Set for the Effect Cleanup Lint Rule

* 📏 fix: Let activityCharLimit Reach Tool Inputs

Round-fifteen review: `activityCharLimit` is documented as the
per-entry truncation for tool input AND output, but `buildPrompt`
hard-coded inputs at 200 characters — so raising the setting could
never surface a distinguishing path, query, or operation that appears
past the first 200 characters of a long argument. Inputs now truncate
at the configured limit alongside outputs; the 200-char constant
remains only for the intent line (renamed INTENT_CHAR_LIMIT to match).
Config fidelity pinned in runtime.spec: a 400-char argument survives a
450 limit and truncates under a 50 limit.

The round's other finding is the fifth restatement of the documented
edited+reconnect index-space limitation, answered on-thread with the
prior four cross-references.

* 🤝 fix: No Labels for Pure Handoff Batches

Round-sixteen review: a PostToolBatch containing only `transfer_to_*`
calls claimed a label slot, but transfer parts are never groupable —
the client flushed the handoff card standalone and the label orphaned
into a stray line after it, restating what the card already says.

Two-sided fix:
- Hook (runtime.ts): a batch whose every entry is a transfer call
  claims nothing — no slot, no model call, no `maxPerRun` consumption.
  Mixed batches still label (the header describes the real work).
- Renderer (groupToolCalls.ts): an orphan label whose `tool_call_ids`
  are all transfer calls is dropped instead of rendered standalone,
  covering content persisted before the hook-side skip.

The round's two P1s are repeats answered on-thread: the packages/api
extraction (maintainer-decided follow-up, recorded in the description)
and the sixth restatement of the edited+reconnect index limitation.

Tests: transfer-only batch claims nothing, mixed batch still claims
(runtime.spec); transfer-only orphan label dropped, real-batch orphan
label still renders (groupToolCalls.test).

* 🎛️ fix: Sanitize Label Client Options and Bound the Batch Prompt

Round-seventeen review: two fixed; the other two findings repeat the
maintainer-decided packages/api extraction (follow-up) and the
edited+reconnect index limitation (seventh instance), answered
on-thread.

- Primary-option strip (host.ts): the label client copied the resolved
  `llmConfig` wholesale, so an endpoint whose defaults enable extended
  thinking or carry model-specific output caps forwarded them to the
  (often cheaper) label model — unsupported options failed every label,
  and supported thinking spent real tokens and the settlement window on
  a 4–9 word header. The copy now strips `omitTitleOptions` keys and
  the `modelKwargs` output caps exactly like the title path, restoring
  the Anthropic `clientOptions` carrier by reference so proxy
  `defaultHeaders` still reach label requests.
- Batch prompt budget (runtime.ts): per-entry truncation left the batch
  dimension unbounded — hundreds of parallel calls could build a prompt
  past the fast model's window. The entries section now has a total
  budget (8k chars, scaling with `activityCharLimit` so a raised limit
  still fits several entries); entries past it are skipped without
  paying their serialization cost, and the list notes how many were
  omitted. The first entry always renders in full.

Tests: option strip with header-carrier survival (host.spec); giant
batch bounded with omission marker, small batch untouched
(runtime.spec).

* 🛡️ fix: Keep SSRF Guards on Label Calls, Skip Mixed Handoff Batches

Round-eighteen review: four fixed; the fifth repeats the
maintainer-decided packages/api extraction (eighth instance), answered
on-thread.

- SSRF-safe carrier (host.ts, P1): the sanitize step restored the
  Anthropic `clientOptions` carrier only when `defaultHeaders` existed,
  but for user-provided base URLs `getLLMConfig` stores the guarded
  Undici dispatcher and `redirect: 'error'` there — dropping it
  reopened DNS-rebinding/redirect paths on label calls to
  user-controlled URLs. The carrier (client CONSTRUCTION options, not
  generation params) is now restored whenever present, same reference.
- Primary maxTokens (host.ts): top-level `maxTokens` is not in
  `omitTitleOptions` and survived the strip; the title path deletes it
  explicitly, and a cap sized for the primary model can be rejected by
  the substitute. Deleted on the copy.
- Bounded keys (runtime.ts): the object branch materialized every key
  via `Object.keys` and quoted oversized keys in full before the budget
  check. Enumeration is now lazy (`for..in` + own-property guard) and
  keys slice to the budget before quoting, like string values.
- Mixed handoff batches (runtime.ts, groupToolCalls.ts): the client
  flushes the block at the transfer card, so a mixed batch's label
  orphaned exactly like a pure one. The hook now skips ANY batch
  containing a transfer call, and the renderer drops orphan labels
  covering one (legacy content).

Tests: carrier survival without headers by same reference, maxTokens
strip (host.spec); mixed batch claims nothing (runtime.spec); mixed
orphan dropped, real-batch orphan kept (groupToolCalls.test).

* 🧢 fix: Cap Label Generation, Order the Flag Persist, Detach Settled Listeners

Round-nineteen review: three fixed; the fourth is the ninth instance of
the edited+reconnect index limitation, answered on-thread.

- Generation cap (host.ts): stripping the primary output caps left
  label calls with NO cap at all — `normalizeLabelOutput` bounds what
  persists, not what the provider generates and bills, so a model
  ignoring the 4–9-word instruction (or steered by injected tool
  output) could emit its provider-default output per batch. The
  sanitize step now installs a 256-token label cap (per provider
  family: `maxOutputTokens` for Google-style wrappers, `maxTokens`
  otherwise), after the filter so the omit set cannot remove it.
- Flag-persist ordering (client.js): the `markActivityLabels` write was
  fire-and-forget, so an immediate cross-replica reconnect could read
  the job between the write and the first claim, see neither flag nor
  snapshot label, and skip gap reconciliation. Label emission now
  awaits the (settled-on-failure) persist chain, making "a label event
  exists" imply "the flag is durable" — the race window is gone; only
  the documented double-write-failure residual remains.
- Listener detach (client.js): each HITL approval cycle's wiring adds a
  `once` abort listener to the shared job signal that only an actual
  abort removes; settled segments now detach theirs in
  `settleActivityLabels`, so long multi-approval runs cannot accumulate
  dead closures toward the listener-limit warning.

Tests: the primary cap is REPLACED by the 256-token label cap
(host.spec).

* 🎯 fix: Route the Label Cap Per Model Family

Round-twenty review: the 256-token label cap set maxTokens
unconditionally, but GPT-5+ rejects max_tokens (the OpenAI builder
routes its cap into modelKwargs.max_completion_tokens /
max_output_tokens) and o-series models reject it with no stable kwargs
alternative — every label on those models would have failed. The cap
now mirrors the builder: modelKwargs for GPT-5+ (responses-API aware),
no cap for o-series (title parity; the 200-char persistence bound
still applies), maxOutputTokens for Google, maxTokens otherwise.
Pinned in host.spec for both reasoning families.

The round's other finding is the tenth instance of the documented
edited+reconnect index limitation, answered on-thread.

* ⏱️ fix: Persist the Label Flag at Run Start, Not on the Emit Path

Round-twenty-one review: two fixed; the other three repeat the
maintainer-decided packages/api extraction, the edited+reconnect index
limitation, and the parallel-lane header limitation — all answered
on-thread with their standing decisions.

- Flag ordering, corrected (client.js): sequencing label emission
  behind the flag persist (previous round) delayed the claim-time
  reservation while the shared index offset had ALREADY shifted
  subsequent SDK chunks — reopening the cross-instance
  hole-compaction overwrite the reservation emit exists to prevent.
  The reservation emits immediately again; instead, run start
  (processStream and resume alike) awaits the settled-on-failure
  persist chain, so the flag is durable before any batch can claim a
  label. Same guarantee, zero latency on the emit path.
- Tail-label cursor (ContentParts.tsx): a filled label at the content
  tail is consumed into the group header rather than listed in
  `group.parts`, so the `isLast` check missed it and nothing held the
  streaming cursor until the next delta. The check now includes
  `labelPart.idx`.

* 🔌 fix: Detach Label Abort Listeners Even Without Claims

A segment with labels enabled can end without a single claim (text-only, or handoff batches, which skip labels); the early return in settleActivityLabels skipped the detach added for HITL listener accumulation. The detach now runs on both paths.

* ⚖️ fix: Make the Commit Flag the Sole Billing Authority

Round-twenty-three review: a committed fill racing a late scope close
(user abort or settle timeout during the durable emit) stayed visible
— the part is mutated and persisted before the close — yet the
deferred accounting's scope gates then skipped the charge: a completed
provider call escaping both the label charge and the primary abort
accounting.

The scope gates on the deferred-usage path are removed; the hook's
commit flag is now the single billing authority in BOTH directions. A
dropped fill never reaches the accounting callback (billed-never-shown
stays impossible), and a committed fill bills regardless of when its
scope closed (shown-never-billed now impossible too). The dead
`scopeOpen` payload threading is removed with it; the
`recordActivityLabelUsage` parameter survives, defaulting open, for
callers that own no commit signal.

The round's other finding is the twelfth instance of the documented
edited+reconnect index limitation, answered on-thread.

* 🧮 feat: Bill Labels by Estimate When Providers Omit Usage

Maintainer decision: follow the title convention rather than leaving
label calls unbilled when a provider returns no usage metadata.

The hook now passes a LAZY estimate thunk with the deferred accounting
on the success path — the EXACT prompt the direct path sent (or the
locally built equivalent for the SDK path: same entries, context,
instruction, truncation contract, and continuity headers) plus the
final normalized label. `recordActivityLabelUsage` invokes it only
when no collected entry carries a real token count, counts both texts
with the shared o200k_base tokenizer, and feeds the synthesized entry
through the SAME pipeline (provider-tagged, streamed event, cost,
balance transaction). Real provider usage always wins when present.
The failure path passes NO estimate: a throw before a response bills
only real collected metadata, never a full phantom prompt.

Tests: the estimate thunk carries the exact invoked prompt and final
label; the failure path defers with no estimate (runtime.spec).

* 💵 fix: Estimate From the Raw Completion, Not the Normalized Label

The fallback estimate counted the normalized label (first line, 200-char cap) while the provider generated and would bill the raw output up to the 256-token generation cap — under-recording verbose replies. The estimate thunk now carries the raw pre-normalization text; the persisted label is unchanged. Pinned with a multi-line reply test.

* 🧾 fix: Commit Label Text Only After the Durable Emit, Estimate the Real SDK Prompt

Round review on the billing work: two fixed; the third is the
fourteenth instance of the edited+reconnect index limitation, answered
on-thread.

- Copy-first fill (wiring.ts): the fill mutated the shared content part
  BEFORE its durable emit, so a failed emit left the label text on
  `contentParts` anyway — persistence could save and display a label no
  client ever received and billing (keyed on the commit flag) never
  charged. The new state is staged on a copy; the shared part mutates
  only after the emit succeeds, so content, delivery, and billing move
  together.
- Real SDK prompt for estimates (client.js): the estimate thunk carried
  this module's locally built prompt, but the SDK path frames entries
  differently — the estimated input count was for a prompt never sent.
  Chain-start callbacks (handleLLMStart/handleChatModelStart) now
  capture the prompt the SDK actually rendered, and the deferred
  accounting substitutes it into the estimate when capture succeeded,
  falling back to the local approximation otherwise.

🎞️ fix: Surface Clear Error for Unprocessable Gemini YouTube Videos (#14396)
Google rejects a YouTube video it cannot ingest with a generic
`400 INVALID_ARGUMENT` that names no cause, which LibreChat relayed
verbatim. Attribute the failure using request context instead: when a
Google/Vertex turn carried an injected YouTube video part and the
provider returns that generic rejection, map it to a typed error the
client localizes.

Verified against the live API: a public 9h15m video is refused this way
on gemini-2.5-flash, 3.5-flash, 3.5-flash-lite and 3.6-flash, including
at MEDIA_RESOLUTION_LOW, while a short video with an identical payload
succeeds. Duration is the dominant trigger; region and access
restrictions return the same response, so the copy leads with length
without overclaiming.

A duration preflight was evaluated and skipped: oEmbed does not expose
duration, leaving only watch-page scraping — a blocking call against
undocumented markup from rate-limited datacenter IPs that would fail
open and still need this mapping underneath.

🧭 feat: Mid-Run Steering and Queued Messages for Agent Runs (#14220)
* 🧭 feat: Mid-Run Steering and Queued Messages for Agent Runs

Steering: submit a message while a run is generating; the server queues
it in the job store (cross-instance) and a run-scoped PostToolBatch hook
injects it into graph state at the next tool-batch boundary, records an
inline 'steer' content part on the response (replayed as a user message
on later turns), and streams on_steer_applied to the client.

Queuing: messages composed during a run auto-send as normal follow-up
turns after clean completion (one per final event, FIFO); user aborts
leave them as chips unless armed by interrupt-and-send.

Requires hook injectedMessages support in @librechat/agents
(danny-avila/agents#299); hard-gated via a capability probe so older
SDKs 501 the steer route instead of draining and dropping messages.

* 🧵 fix: Harden Steering Against Finalization Races and Route Guard Gaps

Addresses local Codex review findings on the steering feature:

- Close-and-drain the steer queue atomically at finalization (final event,
  abort) so a steer POST racing teardown is rejected instead of 202-ACKed
  and then silently cleared; the closed flag lives on the job hash and is
  reset when a replacement job reuses the stream id.
- Clear inherited steer queues on createJob — a job replacement must not
  drain the replaced run's messages.
- Keep steers queued across a HITL pause instead of draining them into
  ephemeral client state: resumeState re-seeds chips on reload and the
  resumed run injects them at its first tool boundary (steers key TTL now
  extends to the approval window; on_steers_pending event removed).
- Queue the NO_ACTIVE_RUN steer fallback while the final SSE is still
  settling — a direct send would be dropped by ask()'s in-flight guard.
- Reconcile the 202 ACK against on_steer_applied events that beat it over
  the SSE, so a chip can't be re-minted after its removal event passed.
- Allow the per-send Steer override when the default action is queue.
- Apply the configured message rate limiters and the PII filter to
  POST /chat/steer — a steer is model-bound user text.

*  ci: Assert Steering Capability Probe Against the Installed SDK

CI installs the published @librechat/agents pin (pre-injectedMessages),
where isSteeringSupported() is legitimately false — the probe test now
asserts it mirrors the installed SDK's capability flag instead of
hardcoding the capability-bearing build's value. Verified against both
the published 3.2.61 dist and the agents#299 build.

* 🛟 fix: Preserve Steer Text Across Run-End, Error, and Abort Races

Codex round 2 (4 P2s):
- Applied-steer-id set survives run end (capped at 100) and converted
  ids join it, so a 202 ACK that lands after final/abort drops its chip
  instead of re-minting a stranded pending one.
- Failed runs no longer strand acknowledged chips: both error paths
  convert local pending chips to queued follow-ups (chip text is
  client-local), and the server closes the steer queue before emitting
  the error so a racing steer POST gets 404 fallback instead of a 202
  whose payload dies with the job.
- sendQueuedNow keys on steer availability, not the default action —
  send-now on a queued chip is an explicit override for queue-preferring
  users.
- Stop path consumes pendingSteers from the abort HTTP response as a
  fallback for the SSE final event it may close before processing;
  conversion is deduped so double delivery is a no-op (shared
  useSteerConvert hook).

* 📎 feat: Carry Attachments Through During-Run Queued Messages

Steering stays text-only (SDK injection, inline STEER part, and replay
are all text), so a during-run submit with media now queues the whole
message as one unit instead of silently stranding the files:

- QueuedMessage gains `files`; composer attachments are consumed into
  the queued item at queue time (steerFromComposer / queueFromComposer /
  interruptAndSend), fixing the latent hazard where lingering composer
  files glued onto whatever `ask` vacuumed up next.
- Enter-steer with attachments degrades to queue with an explanatory
  toast; the per-send menu routes through the same composer-aware
  wrappers.
- The drain and sendQueuedNow pass the item's files as `overrideFiles`;
  media items never steer (send as a normal turn when idle, re-front
  otherwise). ask() no longer clears composer state for caller-supplied
  overrideFiles — only regenerate keeps that behavior.
- During-run submits hold while uploads are in flight, mirroring the
  send button's filesLoading gate; queued chips show a paperclip count.

* 🎛️ feat: Rework During-Run Chips into Action Rows

Full-width rows above the composer (reference-UI parity): each queued
message shows a primary Steer/Send-now action, delete, and a "…" menu
with Edit message (restores text + attachments into the composer) and a
Turn on queueing/steering toggle that flips the Enter default. Steer
rows share the layout with status text; failed steers keep retry /
edit / queue-convert. The per-send menu gains the same default toggle.
Queued file refs now retain filename + bytes so edit-restore rebuilds
real composer entries (draft-recovery shape).

* 🖇️ feat: Steer With Attachments (Multimodal Mid-Run Injection)

Steering now carries media end-to-end instead of degrading to queue:

- The steer POST accepts sanitized attachment refs (cap 10; only
  file_id is trusted — the drain re-fetches owner-scoped and re-derives
  everything else). SteerQueueItem/TPendingSteer/SteerContentPart carry
  `files` refs; encoded data is never persisted or queued.
- New api/server/services/Files/steering.js decouples attachment
  building from the request path: encodeSteerContent reuses the exact
  per-turn pipeline (addFileContextToMessage + processAttachments'
  single-pass categorize/encode, SDK formatMessage assembly,
  prependFileContext for extracted text) with zero new encoding code.
  buildSteerMedia feeds the drain hook's new buildMedia seam (any
  failure degrades that steer to text-only — words always land);
  stampSteerPartMedia re-encodes past steer parts per turn with ONE
  batched owner-scoped fetch and stamps a transient `media` array,
  replaced immutably so it can never leak into a save. Replay honors
  resendFiles like regular message media.
- The SDK's formatAgentMessages (the formatter agents actually use)
  gained the steer replay branch on the PR branch; the local
  formatMessages.js branch now mirrors the media preference.
- Client: steerFromComposer consumes composer files into the POST,
  chips/seeding/conversions carry files everywhere (retry, queue
  convert, abort/error recovery), queued media items steer for real,
  and SteerBubble renders the steered attachments inline.

* 🧵 fix: Harden Steer Recovery Races and Drain Isolation

Codex round 3 (7 fixes):
- A 202 ACK landing after the run ended converts straight to a queued
  follow-up (server queue is gone; no event will ever resolve a pending
  chip for a finished run). Covers stream errors with in-flight POSTs.
- A Stop that lands pre-completion can arrive as a final with
  unfinished:true and no aborted flag — runEnd now treats it as aborted
  so queued messages are not auto-sent against the user's Stop.
- Leftover-steer conversion merges chronologically by createdAt instead
  of appending, preserving the order the user composed.
- Auto-drained queued messages pass explicit (possibly empty)
  overrideFiles/overrideQuotes/overrideManualSkills: a drain can no
  longer vacuum up files, quotes, or skill picks staged in the composer
  for the user's NEXT message (ask() treats overrideFiles != null as
  authoritative).
- Failed-steer Retry and resume-on-load chip restoration keep the
  steer's attachments.
- The job-replacement guard moved INSIDE the store's atomic
  drain/close-and-drain (Lua createdAt compare; in-memory equivalent):
  a stale run's hook or finalization can neither consume, close, nor
  steal a replacement job's steer queue, and the drain hook drops its
  separate check-then-drain round trip.

* 🧰 refactor: Typed Steer Controller, Single-Query Media Pass, Round-4 Fixes

Codex round 4 + efficiency tightening in one pass:

- Moved the steer guard ladder (validation, file sanitization via a
  shared toSteerFileRef picker, ownership/tenant checks, status-guarded
  enqueue) into packages/api as handleSteerRequest; api/steer.js is now
  a thin wrapper. Ladder covered against the REAL in-memory job manager
  in request.spec.ts; the api spec pins only the wrapper contract.
- Folded the steer replay stamp into the turn's ONE historical-files
  query: collectHistoricalFileRefs also gathers steer-part refs, the
  owner-scoped doc map rides client state, and stampSteerPartMedia
  consumes it (no second round trip) while encoding parts in parallel.
- Stamped steer media now counts against the run budget (existing
  multimodal counter over the non-text parts, folded into
  indexTokenCountMap/promptTokens after the stamp).
- Steer route runs the PII filter BEFORE moderateText, matching chat.js
  so blocked sensitive text never reaches the external moderation API.
- Interrupt & send survives the abort-response-beats-SSE-final race:
  stopGenerating writes the run-end signal itself when the one-shot
  interrupt flag is armed and no signal landed (double-fire safe).
- Resume reconciles chips against the server's still-queued list even
  when EMPTY, clearing chips for steers applied while disconnected.
- The local formatter's steer flush preserves non-text assistant parts
  (array-content AIMessage) instead of folding to text.

* 🔒 fix: Replay-Aware Capability Gate and Round-5 Race Closures

- isSteeringSupported now requires BOTH halves of the SDK contract:
  injection (HOOK_INJECTED_MESSAGES_CAPABLE) AND replay
  (ContentTypes.STEER, shipped in the same SDK commit as the
  formatAgentMessages steer branch). An SDK that can inject but not
  replay 501s the steer route — no release window can create steer
  parts that would leak into provider-facing assistant content.
- The local formatter mirrors the SDK's anchor reset: a post-steer
  tool_call mints a fresh AIMessage instead of attaching to the
  pre-steer anchor (invalid provider ordering).
- Queued-chip send-now and the NO_ACTIVE_RUN fallback pass explicit
  (possibly empty) overrideFiles so an idle send can't vacuum composer
  files staged for a different draft.
- Redis createJob deletes the stale steer list BEFORE the replacement
  hash is written as running — a steer 202-accepted against the new job
  can never be wiped by the reset.
- Resumed-turn finalization mirrors the normal path's terminal drain:
  createdAt-guarded close-and-drain, leftovers ride the resumed final
  event as pendingSteers instead of being cleared by completeJob.
- buildSteerMedia restores composer order over the $in result so
  multi-attachment steers reach the model in the order the user saw.

* ⚛️ fix: Atomic Job Replacement and Boundary-Clean Steering Module

Codex round 6 (5 fixed, 1 standing deferral):
- createJob resets the steer queue and writes the job hash in ONE
  same-slot Lua script (JOB_CREATE_LUA): a steer POST can no longer
  interleave between them on cluster, so a steer accepted against one
  run can never be drained into another. Redis-validated.
- The steering media pipeline moved to packages/api
  (agents/steering/media.ts) with injected getFiles and a structural
  client interface — /api keeps zero steering logic; specs ported to
  the DI seam.
- handleSteerRequest checks the job BEFORE the capability gate: a steer
  racing completion on an unsupported SDK gets 404 (send-now) instead
  of a 501 queue with no run-end signal left to drain it.
- useQueueDrain binds to the active conversation: navigating away
  between the final SSE and the drain effect leaves the signal
  unconsumed instead of submitting A's follow-up into B; the drain
  fires on return.
- abortJob closes and drains the steer queue BEFORE the content
  snapshot, so a drain-hook apply that lands pre-drain is captured
  inline rather than lost between the snapshot and the terminal drain.

* 🚦 fix: Parked Run-End Signals, Interrupt Priority, Settled-Run Fallbacks

Codex round 7 (5 fixes):
- Run-end signals for a non-active conversation are PARKED per
  conversation instead of squatting the shared index slot: a later run
  finishing on the same pane can no longer overwrite them, and the
  parked drain fires when the user returns.
- "Interrupt & send" front-inserts carry a priority flag that outranks
  createdAt when abort leftovers merge back chronologically — the
  urgent redirect drains first, not the oldest steer.
- STEER_UNSUPPORTED/RUN_PAUSED/QUEUE_FULL rejections landing after the
  run settled mirror the NO_ACTIVE_RUN fallback and send immediately
  (queueing would strand the text with no run-end signal left); on the
  pinned SDK this is the common Enter-near-run-end path.
- A failed abort (e.g. 404 when the run completed first) still signals
  the interrupt drain, so the queued interrupt message can't strand and
  the armed flag can't leak onto a later run.
- Steered-image fallback alt text is localized (com_ui_attached_image).

* 📌 chore: Adopt Published @librechat/agents Types Post-Bump

dev's pin bump to ^3.2.62 (the release carrying injection + steer
replay) landed via merge; the steering runtime now uses the SDK's real
InjectedMessage/hook-output types instead of the local structural
mirrors that bridged the pre-publish window. The two-half capability
probe stays as the defensive gate for mismatched deployments — and the
capability spec now exercises its TRUE path against the published
package in CI.

* 🛅 feat: Park-and-Claim Steer Recovery + Host-View Content Reads

Codex round 8 (6 fixed incl. both P1s, 1 push-back):
- The long-deferred no-subscriber gap is closed: every terminal drain
  (final, aborted-final, error, abortJob, resumed finalize) PARKS
  acknowledged leftovers on the job hash (unrecoveredSteers), and the
  status route claims them exactly once for inactive jobs — a client
  that closed/reloaded past the transient final event restores its
  steers as queued chips within the post-terminal TTL. A replacement
  run clears the parked copy (a live client started it).
- Same-instance content reads are steer-complete: RedisJobStore now
  caches the HOST content array (WeakRef) via setContentParts and
  prefers it over the SDK graph cache, whose view never contains
  host-authored steer parts; the graph fallback splice-INSERTS steer
  chunks at their recorded host-view indices (the graph array is
  unshifted, so assignment would overwrite SDK parts).
- Replay token accounting now counts prepended file-context text: full
  stamped content minus the steer body (already counted), so large
  steered documents hit the budget instead of bypassing pruning.
- The queue drain restores an item when ask() refuses without sending
  (history not yet in cache after navigating back) — text is never
  silently dropped.
- The armed interrupt flag travels WITH a parked run-end signal, so
  another run on the same pane can neither consume nor clear it.
- parseTextParts extracts steer text (search indexing / audio).

* 🎛️ refactor: Single Send Slot + In-Thread Steer Messages

- Merge the during-run send affordance into the send/stop button slot:
  with composer text the send button replaces Stop (Enter = default
  action), hover reveals Steer/Queue/Interrupt rows with shortcuts;
  drop the separate DuringRunActionsMenu chevron
- Add during-run keyboard chords: Cmd/Ctrl+Enter = non-default action,
  Alt+Enter = interrupt & send (plain-Enter submitters only)
- Render steers as standard user messages in the thread: SteerPart
  (icon + author header + user text presentation) replaces the
  SteerBubble, and submitted steers appear immediately at the projected
  injection point via the PendingSteers slot on the streaming message
- Keep composer rows only for recoverable states: failed steers
  (retry/edit/queue) and queued follow-ups

* 🩹 fix: Keep the Replacement Submission Alive Across Abort Settlement

The aborted run's final SSE event fires before the abort HTTP response
resolves, so an armed interrupt & send drains and starts the NEXT
submission while the abort POST is still in flight. The response
handler's unconditional clearAllSubmissions() then reset the new
submission, aborting its stream attach before the subscribe — the
follow-up ran and persisted server-side but the live placeholder
finalized empty (content appeared only after reload).

useAbortCleanup captures the submission before the abort round-trip
and both settlement paths (success and 404-catch) clear only when the
captured submission is still current; a replacement stays untouched.
Plain Stop behavior is unchanged.

* 🧭 test: Playwright E2E for Mid-Run Steering and Queuing

- Add e2e/specs/mock/steering.spec.ts: steer mid-run (202 + immediate
  in-thread pending part + real MCP tool boundary + words survive run
  end), Cmd/Ctrl+Enter queue with auto-send after clean completion,
  and Alt+Enter interrupt & send with the follow-up streaming into the
  live view
- Add the E2E_STEER_TOOL_REPLY fake-model marker: slow preamble, a
  real remember_fact MCP tool call (PostToolBatch boundary), then a
  final turn
- Test 1 pins the run-end degradation contract while the SDK's
  top-level agentId stamping bug blocks live injection; its header
  documents the assertions to flip once the fixed SDK is pinned

* 🧷 fix: Job-Independent Steer Recovery + Expiry and Resume-Gap Parking

Codex round 10: the park-and-claim recovery had lifecycle holes.

- Move parked steers off the job hash onto their own bounded-TTL store
  key (JOB_CREATE_LUA resets it; deleteJob leaves it alone): the default
  completeJob path deletes the job record immediately, and the Redis
  read path never deserialized the old hash field — recovery previously
  worked only with STREAM_KEEP_COMPLETED_JOBS on the in-memory store
- Carry the owner identity inside the parked payload and authorize the
  claim against it, so the status route recovers steers on its jobless
  branch too (the common reload-after-terminal case); a non-owner claim
  returns nothing and re-parks the payload
- Park queued steers on approval expiry: snapshot the frozen queue
  before the requires_action→aborted CAS (whose terminal cleanup drops
  the steers key) and park only when the CAS wins
- Mirror the terminal drain/park block in resume.js's failure path,
  which previously let completeJob's backstop clear 202-accepted steers
- Close the Redis snapshot→subscribe resume gap: re-peek the queue
  after attaching and re-surface missed on_steer_applied events from
  the durable content view (synthesizeAppliedSteerEvents), updating
  resumeState.pendingSteers to the live queue

* 📌 chore: Require @librechat/agents 3.2.63 + Applied-Steer E2E Contract

- Bump the @librechat/agents pin to ^3.2.63 in api/ and packages/api/:
  it scopes the hook agentId marker to subagent child graphs, so the
  steering drain hook fires at top-level tool-batch boundaries and
  mid-run injection is active (danny-avila/agents PR 307)
- Flip e2e steering test 1 from the documented degradation contract to
  the applied-steer contract: the optimistic in-thread part transitions
  to the persisted part at the tool boundary and survives inside the
  response after run end, with no queued follow-up turn

* 🎗️ feat: Steered Messages Join the Message-Nav Ribs

Steers are user messages, so they get their own clickable rib on the
navigation rail, interleaved at their in-thread position inside the
response that absorbed them (one DOM query in document order). SteerPart
anchors itself as #steer-<id> with a steer-render marker — both the
optimistic pending entry and the persisted part — and the rib carries
the user role label with a preview drawn from the steer's text body,
skipping the author header.

*  feat: Cancel a Queued Steer Before Injection + True User-Message Alignment

- Add POST /chat/steer/cancel: removes ONE still-queued steer by id via
  an atomic list rebuild (Redis Lua preserves order and TTL), authorized
  against the job owner; removed:false is advisory — the cancel lost its
  race to the drain or the run end, never an error
- Surface an × on the in-thread pending steer (server-acknowledged
  entries only): optimistic removal, restored if the POST fails since
  the server would still inject the words
- Outdent SteerPart past the response's icon column so steers sit flush
  with top-level message rows, reading as regular user messages

* 🧯 fix: Round-11 Recovery Hardening + Provider-Free Pending Slot

- Reconcile the resume steer gap by steerId SETS, not queue length — a
  steer added in the gap (or an equal-length drain+enqueue swap) now
  refreshes resumeState.pendingSteers and still synthesizes the missed
  on_steer_applied events
- Make completeJob's terminal backstop park: direct error-path callers
  without the controllers' close-and-park no longer silently clear
  202-accepted steers (createdAt-guarded closeAndDrain + owner park
  before the terminal write)
- Persist the steer part BEFORE media encoding in the drain hook: an
  abort inside the encode window can no longer lose a file-steer (the
  part refs come from the enqueue-sanitized item; replay re-encodes
  per turn unchanged)
- Move the parked-claim owner check INSIDE the atomic store claim
  (substring gate in the Lua / in-memory equivalent): a non-owner probe
  can no longer transiently delete the recovery payload; the app-side
  parse stays authoritative
- Park queued steers in BOTH stores' own requires_action expiry
  cleanup, which bypassed the manager-level sweep
- Sweep expired parked steers from the in-memory store's periodic
  cleanup; restore a queued chip when send-now's submit is refused;
  upsert steer ACKs so an SSE reconnect reseed cannot duplicate chips
- Mount the cancel mutation per steer item so the pending slot needs no
  QueryClient on ordinary streaming renders (fixes the CI failure in
  ContentParts.integration.test)
- Skipped delivery-gated parking (finding 8): transport receiver counts
  cannot prove browser delivery, and gating the only durable copy on
  them trades cosmetic chip resurrection for real text loss; the window
  is already bounded by claim-on-read, createJob reset, and the TTL

* 🩺 fix: Annotate PARKED_STEERS_TTL_MS for isolatedDeclarations

tsdown's d.ts generation requires explicit types on exported consts
with computed initializers; tsc --noEmit does not run that check, so
the round-11 export slipped past local verification and broke Build
packages (and every downstream CI job that consumes the built dist).

* 🛟 fix: Round-12 Terminal-Path Recovery + Durable Steer Events

- Park queued steers before the stale-running reap deletes a crashed or
  hung job in BOTH stores — the one terminal path with no controller
  finalization; requires_action expiry parking refactored onto the same
  snapshot/park helpers
- Enqueue instead of dropping when a steer fallback send is refused:
  both the NO_ACTIVE_RUN branch and the settled-run rejection branch
  now observe sendNow's false return
- Recover on the SSE reconnect-404 terminal path: convert local pending
  steers to queued, claim parked steers via /chat/status, and write a
  non-completed run-end signal so interrupt flags release without
  auto-sending an unknown outcome
- Fall back to a positive parked-recovery TTL when completedTtl is 0
  (SET EX 0 is invalid and silently killed recovery)
- Make on_steer_applied durable before publish: emitChunk gains a
  durable option that awaits the chunk-log append (best-effort) ahead
  of the transport publish; the default delta path stays fire-and-forget

* 🔐 fix: Round-13 Steer Authorization + Trusted File Refs

- Resolve client-supplied steer file refs against the DB owner-scoped
  at enqueue and queue only DB-derived shapes (same filter as the
  injection fetch, shared via refs.ts); any unresolved id fails loud
  with 400 — spoofed type/filepath metadata can no longer be persisted
  into assistant content or rendered in chat/share views
- Enforce agent authorization on /chat/steer against the ORIGINATING
  run's job identity: the chat path's role gate (AGENTS:USE, with the
  same non-agents-endpoint skip) plus the per-agent ACL check with the
  capability bypass — revoked access mid-run can no longer inject;
  cancel stays ownership-only (nothing model-bound)
- Mark steered uploads used after a successful enqueue (owner-scoped,
  best-effort) so the upload-window TTL cannot reap a file the
  persisted steer part references
- Consume the parked recovery copy after live delivery: converting
  final/abort/error pendingSteers fires one owner-gated claim-on-read,
  so dismissed chips can no longer resurrect on a later reload

* 🎙️ fix: Round-14 Composer-Context Fidelity + TTS and Queue-State Gaps

- Keep steer text out of generic assistant text extraction:
  parseTextParts excludes STEER parts by default with an includeSteer
  opt-in for the full-record surfaces (Meili indexing, aborted-response
  persistence) — TTS callers no longer speak the user's own mid-run
  words
- Mark queued uploads used at enqueue time via a minimal owner-scoped
  POST /files/usage (fail-closed without a user; upload limiters do not
  apply to a metadata touch), fired once wherever composer files enter
  the queued state — the upload-window TTL can no longer reap a file
  waiting out a long run or approval pause
- Carry quote chips and manual skill picks on queued items: captured
  and consumed from the composer at queue/interrupt time exactly like
  files, threaded through the drain and send-now overrides, and
  restored by the queued row's Edit message
- Key an early-aborted FIRST turn's run-end signal to NEW_CONVO
  (resolveRunEndTarget) so queued follow-ups stay visible on the
  restored new-chat composer instead of parking under an optimistic
  stream id the user never sees again

* 🧿 fix: Round-15 Gap Coverage + Consolidated Sweep (Share Leak, Abort Ids, Chip Hygiene)

- Run the resume steer-gap check for every still-active job: an empty
  snapshot no longer skips the re-peek, and synthesis now keys on the
  FRESH content view so an applied-in-gap steer that was never
  snapshotted still re-surfaces (over-emission is benign — applied-id
  dedupe, index-stable parts)
- Thread queued context through steer degradation: sendQueuedNow passes
  the item's quotes/skills into submitSteer, and every fallback
  (requeue or settled send) restores them instead of dropping to
  text+files
- Stop shared links from leaking steer attachment refs: the share
  snapshot now walks content — files-excluded shares strip steer-part
  files entirely; files-included shares sanitize and share-route them
  like top-level files (copy-on-write, non-steer content by reference)
- Seed pending-steer chips unconditionally on load/return so a steer
  applied while away cannot linger as a stale chip beside its part
- Use the abort response's resolved job id: chips/drain-signal land
  where the user actually is (NEW_CONVO for a new-held first turn,
  consistent with resolveRunEndTarget) while the parked-copy claim hits
  the resolved id instead of a no-op /chat/status/new
- Open steered documents like normal message files (FilePreviewDialog)
- Cap the applied-steer id set on the live path via a shared helper;
  kept surviving run end deliberately (late-ACK race depends on it) and
  fixed the atom comment that claimed otherwise

* 💡 fix: Un-light Steer Ribs When Their Node Is Replaced

Two stacked gaps kept a steer rib lit after scrolling away: the
pending→applied swap replaces the DOM node under the same id, which
produces no IntersectionObserver exit and — because the entry list
dedupes on (id, preview) — no entries change either, so the observer
kept watching a detached node; and the rail's mutation filter only
reacted to .message-render nodes, so steer-node swaps and removals
never triggered a refresh at all.

- reconcileObservedElements re-points the observer at replaced nodes
  from the mutation-driven refresh regardless of entries identity,
  dropping stale visibility until the fresh node reports (the observer
  fires its initial intersection immediately, so a truly visible part
  re-lights within a frame)
- The mutation filter now recognizes steer-render nodes alongside
  message rows

* 🪪 fix: Round-16 Recovery Owner Fields + Context Stickiness + Share Labels

- Park resumed-run leftovers with the manager facade's metadata owner
  fields: a bare job.userId is undefined on that shape, which made
  every parked payload from a resumed HITL run unclaimable
- Keep a queued item's quotes/skills sticky through a successful steer
  ACK: the pending chip carries them (client-only), reseeds preserve
  them across reconnects, and every terminal conversion — local or
  server-list, merged by steerId — restores them onto the queued item
- Convert resumeState.pendingSteers on the inactive status branch
  (deduped against unrecoveredSteers) so steers observed in the
  expired-pause-before-sweeper window convert instead of vanishing
  until a later reload
- Label shared steer parts share-safely via the existing ShareContext:
  a viewer's own name no longer appears on the sharer's steered
  messages

* ✂️ fix: Carry Steer Context Through the Failed-Chip Edit Action

Retry and convert-to-queue already preserve a failed steer's carried
quotes/skills; Edit message dropped them on the way back to the
composer. It now restores them through the same context path.

🧪 feat: stateful_code_sessions capability for warm Code API sandbox sessions (experimental) (#14150)
*  feat: stateful_code_sessions capability for warm Code API sandbox sessions

Wire the @librechat/agents stateful sandbox sub-config behind a new,
off-by-default stateful_code_sessions agent capability. createRun sets
toolExecution.sandbox.statefulSessions when code execution is active in the
run AND the capability is enabled; execute_code and bash_tool factories get
the param so their descriptions hedge toward persistence. Rides the existing
variable-not-literal runConfig pattern, so it no-ops until @librechat/agents
is bumped to the version shipping the sandbox sub-config.

*  feat: per-agent stateful code sessions (builder toggle + init gating)

Stateful sessions now require the agent's own opt-in, not just the admin
capability. New agent field stateful_code_sessions (schema + validation +
types) surfaces as a toggle in Agent Builder Advanced settings, gated on
the app capability and disabled without Code Interpreter. initializeAgent
resolves the per-agent truth (admin capability AND builder opt-in AND
code env) once: the registered bash_tool description, the execute_code
factory, and createRun's toolExecution.sandbox gate all read the same
resolved value. statefulSessionsAvailable threads through the same call
sites as codeEnvAvailable, including handoff discovery and added convos.

* 🐛 fix: propagate runtime_session_hint to sandbox executor in event-driven tool path

The event-driven ON_TOOL_EXECUTE handler built config.toolCall without the
resolved runtime_session_hint, so BashExecutor/CodeExecutor never sent
runtime_session_hint to the Code API. Every conversation then collapsed onto
the server-derived default session (no per-conversation isolation). Copy
tc.runtimeSessionHint onto toolCallConfig._runtime_session_hint, mirroring the
SDK direct-execution path.

* 🐛 fix: address Codex review findings for stateful code sessions

- OpenAI-compatible service (packages/api/src/agents/openai/service.ts) now
  derives and passes statefulSessionsAvailable alongside codeEnvAvailable, so
  the feature activates on that route (previously statefulCodeSessions resolved
  false there and createRun never sent toolExecution.sandbox).
- Thread runtime_session_hint through the host file-authoring tools
  (create_file/edit_file/read_file): those host branches return before the
  generic tool path, so readSandboxFile/writeSandboxFile now forward the
  per-conversation hint instead of falling back to the Code API default session.
- StatefulSessions builder toggle clears its form value when Code Interpreter is
  disabled, so a saved agent matches the disabled UI and re-enabling code doesn't
  silently reactivate stateful sessions.

* 🐛 fix: normalize stateful_code_sessions on save when Code Interpreter disabled

Addresses Codex review (round 2): a stale `stateful_code_sessions` opt-in
could persist when Code Interpreter (`execute_code`) is disabled from the
main agent builder without opening Advanced settings, silently reactivating
warm sessions if code was later re-enabled.

- AgentPanel: normalize in `composeAgentUpdatePayload` (the always-run save
  path) so `stateful_code_sessions` is forced to `false` whenever
  `execute_code !== true`, regardless of whether Advanced was opened.
- StatefulSessions: revert the mount-scoped useEffect (round-1 approach) —
  it only fired while the Advanced panel was mounted, missing this path.
- Add spec coverage for both branches of the normalization.

🗂️ feat: Per-Agent Memory Partitions (#14084)
* feat: per-agent memory partitions (memory_scope)

Adds an optional agentId partition to MemoryEntry so agents can opt into
isolated memory via a new memory_scope field ('user' | 'agent'). Partition
derives from agentId presence ({agentId: null} matches legacy docs, no
migration). Inline set_memory/delete_memory tools, the post-turn memory
agent, the request-scoped memory cache, and context injection are all
partition-aware; context is only injected into agents whose resolved
partition matches. Memory routes accept the partition param, scope
duplicate/token-limit checks per partition, and enrich entries with agent
names. Memories panel gains a partition filter and agent badges; the agent
builder gains an agent-scoped memory toggle.

* fix: address Codex review findings on memory partitions

- strip runtime ____N id suffixes in getMemoryAgentId so added-conversation
  runs share the persisted agent's partition
- load each agent's own partition in multi-agent context injection instead
  of skipping foreign partitions entirely
- clear memory_scope to 'user' on save when Enable Memory is unchecked
- fall back to 'all' when the selected panel partition no longer exists
- restrict GET /memories agent-name resolution to agents the requester can

🙋 feat: ask_user_question - agent-initiated questions with durable pause/resume (#14139)
* feat: ask_user_question tool — agent-initiated questions with durable pause/resume

The HITL runtime merged in #13942/#14024/#14025/#14123 already ships the full
ask_user_question lifecycle (payload-agnostic handleRunInterrupt, resume
validation via mapAskUserAnswer, reconnect rehydration, and the client question
card) — but nothing ever raised the interrupt. This adds the producer:

- packages/api/agents/hitl/askUserQuestionTool.ts: LLM-callable tool whose func
  calls the SDK askUserQuestion() helper (LangGraph interrupt() from the tool
  body); zod schema with length caps mirroring AskUserQuestionRequest, plus a
  JSON-schema twin for the schema-only registry
- Registration: agentToolDefinitions, manifest.json (Tools dialog, admin
  filteredTools/includedTools kill switch), basicToolInstances, handleTools
  constructor branch
- run.ts gating: checkpointer now attaches for hitlCapable runs whose agents
  carry the ask tool even with the tool-approval policy disabled (the interrupt
  needs only durability, not humanInTheLoop/hooks); the tool is stripped
  fail-closed from non-HITL callers (OpenAI-compat/Responses) and subagent
  child configs; excluded from eager event execution (interrupts must be
  raised inside the Pregel task frame)
- resume.js: 16k length cap on the answer wire field
- e2e (real Run + FakeChatModel + LazyMongoSaver + supertest resume): tool-body
  interrupt pauses durably with NO approval policy, answer round-trips as the
  ToolMessage content, tool body re-runs once on resume, sequential questions
  re-pause

* fix: adversarial-review findings — in-graph execution, orphan prunes, endpoint scoping, real kill switch

Pre-PR multi-agent review confirmed 5 defects in the initial commit; all fixed:

1. CRITICAL — the tool never paused on the real agents endpoint: production
   loads tools definitions-only, flipping the SDK ToolNode to event-driven
   dispatch, and the host ON_TOOL_EXECUTE handler runs outside the Pregel task
   frame (under runOutsideTracing), where interrupt() throws and becomes an
   error ToolMessage. Reworked: the ask tool never rides toolDefinitions/
   toolRegistry — on HITL-capable top-level agents a real instance is supplied
   via AgentInputs.graphTools (agents#289, requires @librechat/agents > 3.2.57),
   the SDK's in-graph direct-tool seam; new production-shape e2e pins the
   event-driven mode end to end.
2. CRITICAL — ask-only runs left orphaned interrupted checkpoints (silent
   context duplication on every later turn): both orphan prunes were gated on
   toolApproval.enabled. The pre-turn prune now also fires for ask-capable
   agents (exported agentRequestsAskUserQuestion), and the abort-route prune
   fires when the aborted job carries a pendingAction.
3. MAJOR — self-spawned subagents bypassed the strip (self config resolves from
   the parent's _sourceInputs): fixed SDK-side (buildChildInputs clears
   graphTools) and the tool is now never present on child surfaces host-side.
4. MINOR — the manifest entry leaked into the Assistants tools dialog and the
   legacy plugins endpoint, where tools execute with no run to pause: new
   agentsOnly manifest flag, scoped out of both listings.
5. MINOR — filteredTools/includedTools only hid the tool from the dialog:
   now enforced at run build (strip + no checkpointer), making the admin
   filter a real kill switch for already-saved agents.

* chore: update @librechat/agents dependency to version 3.2.58 in package-lock.json and package.json files

* fix: reject agents-only tools at assistant create/update (Codex round 1)

The tools-dialog scoping keeps ask_user_question out of the assistants
LISTING, but the v1/v2 create/update handlers resolve arbitrary posted tool
strings from the shared getCachedTools map — a REST client or stale saved
payload could still attach it, and the assistants runtime executes tools with
no run to pause, so every call would error. New isAgentsOnlyTool(tool)
(manifest-driven, handles string and function-object shapes) drops such tools
with a warn at all four resolution sites (v1+v2, create+update).

* fix: offset resumed-run content indices past the pre-pause seed

A resumed run rebuilds the graph from the checkpoint, and the fresh graph
numbers content indices from its own empty contentData — starting at 0. The
resume path seeds the (also fresh) content aggregator with the pre-pause
parts at exactly those indices, so the resumed model turn collided with the
seed: type-matching parts silently MERGED (post-resume text appended into a
pre-pause text block), and type-mismatching parts (a reasoning/think part at
index 0 — any Anthropic reasoning agent) dropped EVERY delta with 'Content
type mismatch', losing the entire post-resume output from the live stream
and the saved message.

Latent since #13942 — tool-approval resumes corrupt content the same way
(probe-verified); it surfaced now because ask_user_question makes pausing a
first-class flow and reasoning models make the loss total.

- createContentIndexOffsetHandlers(handlers, offset): wraps ON_RUN_STEP
  (the single point where a content index enters the pipeline — deltas
  resolve through the aggregator's stepMap) and ON_AGENT_UPDATE's inline
  index; every other handler passes through by reference. Probe-validated:
  resumed output now lands as a new part after the paused tool call.
- resumeCompletion wires it with offset = seedContent.length.
- logToolError: a GraphInterrupt unwinding out of a tool body is the HITL
  pause working as designed — no longer logged as a Tool Error.

* fix: unblock live streaming of the resumed segment after an answer

With resume indices now ABSOLUTE (server continues after the pre-pause
parts), the synthetic ask-user-question card was squatting on exactly the
index the resumed segment streams into: applyAskUserQuestion appends the
card at the end of the message content, so on the answering device every
incoming part at that index was blocked and nothing rendered between the
answer submission and the finalize replacing the message.

removeAskUserQuestionPart(message, actionId) strips the pause-scoped card
on successful answer submission (useResumeSubmit onSuccess) — the durable
record of the Q&A is the ask_user_question tool call itself. Pure helper +
specs; same-reference no-op when nothing matches.

* fix: displace the synthetic question card in the streaming content writer

The store-level strip on answer submit wasn't enough: the SSE step handler
keeps its own in-flight copy of the streaming message, so on the answering
device the synthetic ask-user-question card still occupied the ABSOLUTE index
the resumed segment streams into — every delta warned 'Content type mismatch'
(existing ask_user_question vs incoming text) and nothing rendered between the
pending_action and finalize.

Displace the card inside updateContent when any real part claims its slot —
the same displacement pattern as the OAuth prompt part directly above it.
Covers the streaming handler's own copy, reconnecting tabs, and other devices;
once real content streams, the pause is over by definition. Spec drives a
runStep + text delta into the card's index and pins: no mismatch warn, card
gone, text rendered.

* feat: dedicated UI + durable data for completed ask_user_question calls

The completed ask call rendered as a generic tool card labeled 'Cancelled'
with raw (and empty) JSON args. Two layers fixed:

Data: the saved tool_call part had args:'' and no output — streamed arg
chunks carry no tool name so the aggregator drops them (normal tools recover
via the completion event, which never fires for a tool that interrupts
mid-execution and resumes on a rebuilt run with no step id). The resume
controller now stamps the paused ask part with the pendingAction's
authoritative question as args and the user's answer as output
(attachAskUserQuestionAnswer — pure, targets the newest unanswered ask part,
so sequential questions each keep their own answer).

UI: Part.tsx routes ask_user_question tool calls to AskUserQuestionCall — a
compact Q&A record ('Asked a question' header, question, description, 'You
answered: <label>' preferring the picked option's label, or 'No answer was
given' for an abandoned pause) instead of the generic card. New i18n keys;
parseAskUserQuestionArgs degrades to null on malformed model args.

* fix: single question UI per pause + immediate answer display

Two live-turn issues with the new durable Q&A card:

1. Duplicate question on ask: during a live pause the message carries BOTH the
   ask tool_call part (now rendered by AskUserQuestionCall, showing a
   misleading 'No answer was given' while paused) and the synthetic
   interactive card. The durable card now defers while the turn is live and
   unanswered (isSubmitting) — the interactive card owns the question UI until
   it's answered; an abandoned pause still shows its no-answer state once the
   turn settles.

2. 'No answer was given' after answering: the server stamps the answer onto
   the part at resume seed, but the client only received that at finalize. No
   stream emission needed — the client knows the answer it just submitted:
   resolveAskUserQuestionPart (replacing the plain strip on submit success)
   removes the synthetic card AND stamps output/progress onto the newest
   unanswered ask tool_call, seeding args from the synthetic part's question
   when the streamed args were lost — mirroring the server-side
   attachAskUserQuestionAnswer, so the Q&A record shows the answer the moment
   the user submits.

* fix: keep the Q&A record visible while the resumed segment streams

The optimistic output stamp lives in the message store, but the SSE step
handler evolves its own cached copy of the streaming message (created at turn
start) — the first resumed event overwrites the store with that copy, wiping
the stamp, so the Q&A card blinked out during streaming and only returned at
finalize.

Render-layer fallback instead of fighting the handler's copy: submitted
answers are recorded by ask tool_call id when resolveAskUserQuestionPart
stamps the part, and AskUserQuestionCall reads the recorded answer whenever
the part's own output is missing — the record survives any message-copy churn
until finalize delivers the server-stamped part.

* feat: present Ask User as a native builtin in the tools dialog

It ships with the app and pauses the run like a first-class feature, so it
belongs with the builtins (Run Code, Web Search, Memory, ...) rather than in
the third-party plugin list — while its mechanics stay exactly a plugin's:

- BuiltinId += 'ask_user_question' (documented exception: a native TOOL, not
  a capability; selection reads agent.tools, the toggle emits tool-add/remove
  patches instead of a capability field)
- buildCatalog surfaces it as a builtin gated on the same signals as before
  (tools capability on + the server lists the plugin, i.e. not admin-filtered)
  and skips it in the plugin loop so it never double-lists
- On-theme icon: lucide MessageCircleQuestion in a teal chip via the builtin
  icon map, matching the other native entries; the bespoke purple SVG and the
  manifest icon field are gone
- i18n'd name/description keys like the other builtins

* feat: composer popover for answering questions (mentions-style)

Answering moves to the composer, matching the existing mentions/prompts
popover pattern: while an ask_user_question pause is live, a popover anchors
above the textarea with the question as its header, numbered option rows
(hover/click, or ↑/↓ + Enter from the empty composer), and an × to dismiss.
The main textarea doubles as the free-form answer — its placeholder flips to
'Something else...' and form submit routes the text to the paused run as the
answer instead of starting a new turn. Dismissing (× or Escape) restores
normal sends; the inline transcript surfaces stay as before (interactive card
while paused, durable Q&A record after) so the question remains visible in
history.

- findLiveAskUserQuestion (pure, spec'd): newest unanswered synthetic part
  across the conversation IS the popover signal — applied on
  on_pending_action, stripped on answer submit, so visibility tracks the
  pause lifecycle with no extra state
- useLiveAskUserQuestion hook shared by the popover and ChatForm; dismissals
  in a recoil atom so both react
- popover only mounts on the primary composer (index 0), mirroring QuoteButton

* feat: number-key selection + return glyph in the question popover

Pressing 1-9 in the empty composer picks the matching option directly,
mirroring the numbered row chips; the highlighted row shows a return-key
glyph as the Enter affordance. Same empty-composer guard as the arrow keys —
typing a free-form answer is never intercepted.

* refactor: first-class composer answer mode (useAskAnswerMode)

Replaces the bolted-on integration (inline onSubmit interception + raw
capture-phase keydown listeners on the textarea ref) with a single hook that
owns the whole answer mode: live-question derivation, dismissal + highlighted
option (shared recoil state), option selection, free-form submit routing
(submitText returns whether it consumed the submission), and keyboard
handling (handleKeyDown returns whether it consumed the key, composed ahead
of the textarea's normal handler — no more addEventListener).

The popover is now pure rendering off the hook; ChatForm wires placeholder,
onKeyDown, and onSubmit through the same instance. Deliberately scoped to the
composer rather than useSubmitMessage: starters/prompt-commands keep new-turn
semantics (and the existing job-replacement behavior while paused).

* fix: Codex round 2 — inline answer input, approval exemption, pause-time args

F1 (composer submit unreachable while paused — isSubmitting keeps Stop shown
and useTextarea eats Enter): redesigned around it, borrowing Claude Code's
AskUserQuestion semantics. The popover now owns free-form input via an inline
'Other' row (numbered last, 'Something else…'), with select-then-confirm rows
(click/arrows/digits highlight; Submit ↵, Enter, or double-click fires; Skip
dismisses). The composer returns to being a plain composer — no placeholder
swap, no submit interception; Stop keeps meaning stop.

F2: ask_user_question is exempt from the tool-approval prompt unless the
admin explicitly lists it (allow/ask/deny all win) — approving the right to
ask a question was a pure double pause; the tool is side-effect-free.

F3: the question is stamped onto the paused ask tool_call's args at PAUSE
time (attachAskUserQuestionArgs in handleRunInterrupt), so abandoned/expired/
stopped turns persist with the question intact and the record card can render
it — previously only the answer-resume path stamped args.

* fix: fold model-supplied 'Other' options into the inline free-form row

The model can generate its own catch-all option ('Other (type your own)',
value 'other'), duplicating the popover's built-in free-form row — two
other-ish rows, one pickable as a literal answer. Two layers:

- Tool description now tells the model NOT to include catch-all options (the
  answer UI always offers free-form input on its own)
- splitOtherOption (pure, spec'd) folds a catch-all option that arrives
  anyway out of the choice rows and uses its label as the inline input's
  placeholder — conservative match (value 'other', or a label reading as a
  free-form invitation), no false positives on real choices

* fix: single question surface + clean free-form-only popover

Two live-pause confusions: (1) the inline transcript card and the composer
popover both rendered — the card now defers while the popover is up for its
action, returning as the fallback surface when the user dismisses the popover
(and in contexts without a ChatContext, where the popover can't exist);
(2) an options-less question showed a pointless numbered '1 Something else…'
row — free-form-only questions now render the inline input alone, with the
'Type your answer…' placeholder (a folded model 'Other' label still wins).

* feat: the composer is the free-form answer box (like the main chat input)

While a question pause is live, the main chat textarea composes the free-form
answer — placeholder swaps to 'Something else…' (or a folded model 'Other'
label), Enter with text submits the answer through answer-mode key handling
(composed BEFORE useTextarea's submitting-lock, so the lock can't swallow it),
and the Stop button swaps to Send (enabled despite isSubmitting) per the
select-then-confirm design. The popover slims to the question header, numbered
option rows, and Skip/Submit — its inline input is gone since the composer
owns free-form now. Dismissing the popover restores normal composer semantics
(Stop button, normal sends).

* fix: Codex round 3 + real Skip semantics

- Skip now ANSWERS instead of hiding UI (danny): it resumes the run with a
  decline notice ('The user chose not to answer this question.') so the model
  moves on — a client-side dismiss left the run paused until expiry, a hung
  turn. × / Escape remain pure dismiss (switch to the inline card surface).
- P1 (resumed approval tool indices): resumed tool_calls steps whose
  tool_call id matches a seeded UNRESOLVED part now rebind to that seeded
  slot instead of offsetting — the original part resolves in place (output
  attaches) and no duplicate appears; message steps keep the offset, so the
  text-loss fix stands. createContentIndexOffsetHandlers now takes the seed
  array; resolved seeded calls are not rebind targets.
- P2 (stale selection across questions): selection state resets when the
  live actionId changes; the vestigial inline-Other state ('other' selection
  + text atom) is gone — the composer owns free-form.
- P2 (Redis abort path loses the args stamp): the abort route re-stamps the
  question onto the ask tool_call in the reconstructed abort content, so a
  Stop-abandoned question persists with its question intact.
- P2 (malformed args crash): parseAskUserQuestionArgs normalizes untrusted
  shapes (options: {} / non-string entries) instead of throwing in render.

* feat: free-form hint in the question popover footer

Left-aligned in the footer row (opposite Skip/Submit): 'Or type your answer
below' — points open-ended answering at the composer, whose placeholder
already reads 'Something else…'.

* feat: preserve composer drafts across the answer-mode swap

The answer phase gets its own draft key (ask-answer:<actionId>), passed as a
draftId override into useAutoSave — the key change itself drives the existing
save/restore machinery, so the conversation draft (or mid-run PENDING draft)
is stashed when a question pause takes the composer and restored once the
user answers, skips, or dismisses. Ask keys are exempt from the PENDING
migration branch, which would otherwise move-and-delete the stashed draft. A
half-typed answer survives reload/navigation while its question stays live.
Answer submission (option pick, free-form, skip) resets the composer via a
new non-throwing useOptionalChatFormContext, so the swap-back restores into
an empty box even outside ChatView-less render contexts (Share/search).

* fix: rebind resumed steps for ALL seeded tool call ids

The resume controller pre-stamps the user's answer onto the seeded
ask_user_question part, so the unresolved-only rebind predicate treated
it as settled and shifted the tool's re-run step to a fresh offset slot,
leaving a duplicate ask record in streamed/saved content. Tool call ids
are provider-minted per call: a resumed step bearing a seeded id can
only be the interrupted batch re-executing, so rebinding every seeded
id is always correct.

* feat: popover UX round 4 — clickable hint, collapse, click-submit, multiSelect

- Footer hint is a button that focuses the composer; reads 'Type your answer
  below' (no 'Or') when the question has no options.
- Collapse (chevron) hides the popover WITHOUT closing the pause: answer mode
  stays live (placeholder, Enter routing, draft key), the chat card renders
  the question with a ChevronUp affordance to re-expand. x remains dismiss.
- Single-select options submit on a single click; the Submit button renders
  only for multi-select.
- multiSelect end-to-end: tool zod schema + JSON definition twin, wire type,
  client parse, popover check-chips, card toggles, record-card label mapping;
  answer = option values joined ', '; composer Enter and the multi Submit
  button both fold free-form text in with the checked values.
- Hardening from adversarial review: in-flight status guard on every submit
  path (no duplicate resumes on double-click), popover locks while
  submitting, collapsed mode disarms invisible digit/arrow steering, the
  card shares the hook's checked state while the pause is live, the card
  folds catch-all 'Other' options, record mapping is all-or-nothing to avoid
  phantom labels, composer resets only when its text was consumed or the
  draft machinery will restore the stash.

* feat: ask_user_question in model specs and ephemeral agents

A librechat.yaml modelSpec can now equip the tool the same way it equips
webSearch/executeCode/fileSearch/memory:

  modelSpecs:
    list:
      - name: my-spec
        askUserQuestion: true

loadEphemeralAgent pushes the tool name when the spec flag (or the
ephemeralAgent request flag, wired for parity) is set; everything downstream
is the existing persisted-agent machinery — createRun's hitlCapable gating,
graphTools injection, checkpointer attach, subagent strip, and the admin
filteredTools/includedTools kill switch all apply unchanged.

* feat: tense-aware Q&A record label (Asking / Asked)

Shorten the record card header per feedback: 'Asking' while the question is
still unanswered (abandoned/awaiting), 'Asked' once answered — replacing the
single 'Asked a question' label.

* fix: Codex round 4 — added-agent ask parity + preserve answer on failed resume

F1 (added.ts): mirror loadEphemeralAgent's ask_user_question branch in the
added-agent loader so a model spec's askUserQuestion flag (or the ephemeral
request flag) equips added top-level agents too, matching execute_code /
web_search / memory. Two load.spec cases added.

F3 (composer): submitAskAnswer now takes an onSuccess callback and
useAskAnswerMode defers clearing the selection/composer until the resume is
accepted. A failed resume (16k answer-cap 400, expired action, network error)
leaves status re-answerable, so wiping the composer up front lost the user's
only copy of a free-form answer; now it survives for trim/retry.

(F2 — a claimed Tools-capability bypass — was verified NOT reproducible:
agentRequestsAskUserQuestion matches only loaded instances/toolDefinitions/
toolRegistry, all capability-filtered; a raw tools string has no .name and
never triggers the install. Replied on-thread with the probe evidence.)

* fix: Codex round 5 — expired question exits answer mode so its message shows

An expired question (e.g. resume returns the stale-action 409) previously left
the popover open with locked controls and no explanation, because the chat
card — which carries the only 'this action expired' message — was suppressed
by the popover-open guard. Treat 'expired' as no longer active: the popover
closes, the composer reverts to normal, and the card becomes the sole surface
and renders the expired message. 'error' stays active (retryable).

* feat: group ask_user_question calls as their own category

A homogeneous group of ask_user_question tool calls now reads 'Asked N
questions' (present tense 'Asking N questions' while the turn streams) with a
question glyph and no raw-name suffix — mirroring the subagent 'Ran N agents'
category treatment, instead of 'Used N tools — ask_user_question'. Mixed
groups keep 'Used N tools' but humanize the suffix to 'Question' and show a
question icon for the ask entries (TOOL_FRIENDLY_NAME_KEYS + ToolIcon map).
A group only forms at count >= 2, so the plural is always grammatical.
Three ToolCallGroup.test cases cover homogeneous label/icon/suffix, present
tense while streaming, and the mixed-group fallback.

* fix: Codex round 6 — composer submit lock + abort stamp before emit

F7 (composer status lock): the ask submit status lived on ApprovalContext,
a React context mounted only around message content (ContentParts). The
PRIMARY answer surface — the composer in ChatForm — renders outside it, so
useApprovalContext returned the inert FALLBACK: status was always 'idle',
setStatus a no-op. The in-flight double-submit guard (round 4) and the
expired-exits-answer-mode fix (round 5) therefore never engaged for the
composer. Move ask submit status to a global Recoil atom (useAskSubmitStatus)
read/written by the composer, the popover, and the card alike, so a fast
double-click/Enter is actually blocked and expired/error surfaces on every
surface. Tool-approval status stays on the context (unchanged).

F5 (abort stamp before emit): the abort route re-stamped a paused
ask_user_question's args AFTER GenerationJobManager.abortJob had already
emitted the final SSE from the unstamped content, so a Redis/cross-replica
Stop left the live client showing an empty question until reload. abortJob
now takes an optional transformAbortContent applied to the persistable
content BEFORE the final event is built (and returned), so the live client
and the saved message agree. New abort.spec case + updated call assertions.

* feat: gate ask_user_question behind its own agent capability

Add a first-class AgentCapabilities.ask_user_question (in defaultAgentCapabilities,
on by default) so admins can enable/disable questions independently via
endpoints.agents.capabilities, exactly like execute_code / web_search — not
lumped under the generic tools capability.

- ToolService: both filteredTools predicates (definitions-only and instance
  loaders) gate ask_user_question on checkCapability(ask_user_question) before
  the generic tools fallthrough. When off, the tool is dropped from
  toolDefinitions/toolRegistry, so run.ts's agentRequestsAskUserQuestion (which
  keys on the loaded surface) declines to install it and attach a checkpointer —
  the capability is enforced end-to-end at the loader, no run.ts change needed.
- Tools dialog catalog: surface the ask builtin under its own capability rather
  than the generic tools one, so the UI matches the backend gate.
- Tests: ToolService capability on/off filtering + defaults membership; catalog
  builtin visibility keyed on the dedicated capability.

* style: sort imports in ToolCallGroup.test (CI import-order gate)

* fix: Codex round 7 — surface ask-answer errors in the open popover

A failed answer submission (16k reject, network error) sets the ask status to
'error', which — unlike 'expired' — deliberately keeps the question active and
retryable. But the chat card that renders the error message is suppressed while
the popover is open, so a composer/popover answer failed silently. Expose an
'errored' flag from useAskAnswerMode and render a warning line
(com_ui_ask_answer_error) in the popover, so the user gets feedback and retry
guidance without having to collapse/dismiss. It clears automatically on retry
(status flips to 'submitting').

* fix: Codex round 8 — respect IME composition before submitting answers

handleComposerKeyDown runs before useTextarea's composition guard, so with a
CJK/IME keyboard the Enter that commits an in-progress composition was being
intercepted and submitting the partial answer (and the composition buffer can
leave value empty mid-compose, mis-triggering digit/arrow steering too). Bail
at the top when composing — nativeEvent.isComposing, or key==='Process' /
keyCode===229 for Safari's inconsistent reporting — mirroring the existing
composer guard so the character commits normally.

* chore: update `@librechat/agents` to v3.2.60

* 🔧 chore: Update @opentelemetry/core to version 2.9.0 and clean up package-lock.json

* feat: digit shortcuts select options when the popover has focus

Previously a number key (1..N) only selected an option from the empty
composer (handleComposerKeyDown on the textarea) — if focus moved into the
popover (a row/Skip/Submit button clicked or tabbed to), the number keys went
dead. Add handlePopoverKeyDown, wired to the popover container's onKeyDown so
it catches digits bubbling from the focused control: a digit activates its
option exactly like a click (single-select submits, multi toggles). No
highlight/Enter dance on this path — the options are buttons whose action is
the click, and intercepting Enter would fight the focused button. Gated on
active && !locked so it no-ops while a submit is in flight.

* chore: update @librechat/agents to version 3.2.61 and @opentelemetry packages to latest versions

🤐 fix: Exclude Provider Secrets from HITL Pending Actions (#14136)
* 🤐 fix: Exclude Provider Secrets from HITL Pending Actions

Sanitize resolved model parameters before persisting them in the pending
action's resumeContext, and strip resumeContext/requestFingerprint from
every client-facing copy (SSE emit, reconnect gap-fill, resume state,
status route). The full record stays server-side for resume replay.

* 🤐 fix: Treat Header-Carrier Keys as Sensitive Wholesale

Google llmConfig places the Authorization header in customHeaders, and
header names like Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key defeat name heuristics.
Match 'header' as a key fragment so every header-carrier object is
dropped rather than relying on exact carrier names.

* 🤐 fix: Strip Preconfigured Client Instances from Resume Params

Bedrock stores a BedrockRuntimeClient on llmConfig.client when PROXY or
a bearer token is configured; replaying it would also fold a mangled
client object into additionalModelRequestFields on resume.

perf: Persist HITL checkpoints only on pause (lazy checkpointer) (#14024)
*  feat: Persist HITL checkpoints only on pause (skip clean-exit writes)

With `durability: 'exit'` (set by the SDK whenever a checkpointer is active) LangGraph
persists ONE checkpoint at the exit boundary on EVERY run — paused or not. So a non-paused
HITL turn writes a dead checkpoint whose only fate is to be pruned by deleteAgentCheckpoint:
pure write+delete churn on the common path, given HITL only ever resumes an *interrupt*
checkpoint.

`InterruptOnlyMongoSaver` (a MongoDBSaver subclass) persists only interrupt checkpoints and
discards clean-exit ones, so a non-paused turn writes nothing.

How it tells them apart (verified empirically against @langchain/langgraph, not docs):
when a run interrupts, the runner calls `putWrites` with the `INTERRUPT` ("__interrupt__")
channel for the checkpoint it's about to create, and that write's `config.checkpoint_id`
equals the `checkpoint.id` of the `put` that immediately follows. A clean exit calls `put`
with no preceding interrupt `putWrites`. So we record the checkpoint id of any interrupt
`putWrites` and persist a `put` only when its `checkpoint.id` was so marked. Keying on the
globally-unique checkpoint id (not thread_id) keeps this correct even when two runs race on
the same conversation (the job-replacement scenario).

Correctness is preserved end-to-end: interrupt checkpoints + their pending writes persist
exactly as before (resume unchanged); clean checkpoints were only ever written-then-pruned,
so not writing them is observationally equivalent. The eager prune stays as the backstop.

Tests (mongodb-memory-server): a bare put() is discarded; an interrupt-seeded checkpoint is
persisted with its __interrupt__ pending write; and an end-to-end real-graph run writes 0
checkpoints on a clean completion and a resumable one on interrupt.

NOTE: a non-paused turn's deleteAgentCheckpoint now finds nothing to delete (a 0-match
no-op) — a follow-up can skip that call entirely once the lingering-abandoned-pause cleanup
role is reassigned to the TTL + expiry sweeper.

*  feat: Drop the redundant clean-path checkpoint prune

With the lazy checkpointer (InterruptOnlyMongoSaver) a non-paused turn no longer writes a
clean-exit checkpoint, so the post-completion prune in chatCompletion's finally had nothing
left to delete. It was also already redundant: every fresh turn runs a pre-run prune
(`deleteAgentCheckpoint` before `processStream`) that clears any checkpoint orphaned by a
prior abandoned pause — verified empirically that a lingering interrupt checkpoint WOULD
otherwise poison a fresh turn (LangGraph continues the abandoned state + re-interrupts), and
that the pre-run prune is what prevents it. The Mongo TTL remains the backstop, and the
resume path still prunes after a successful finalize.

Removing the clean-path prune also deletes its job-replacement race surface (round-17 F21):
an older run's late finally can no longer delete a newer paused run's checkpoint, because
there is no longer a clean-path prune to race. Dropped the now-dead F21 predicate test.

Net per non-paused HITL turn: from {pre-run prune + checkpoint write + post-run prune} down
to {pre-run prune} — no write, no post-completion delete.

* 🛡️ fix: Anchor any pending-write checkpoint; stale-only eviction (Codex)

Broaden the lazy saver's keep-rule from "interrupt-only" to "persist any checkpoint that
carries pending writes" (renamed InterruptOnlyMongoSaver → LazyMongoSaver). This makes it
robust to delta-channel graphs without changing behavior for LibreChat's graph:

- K1 (P1): a delta-channel graph can write a synthetic PARENT/anchor checkpoint (no
  __interrupt__ mark) that the interrupt checkpoint then points at, with the delta writes
  stored under the parent id. The old rule discarded that parent, breaking delta-state
  resume. Now any checkpoint that received putWrites is persisted, so the anchor parent and
  its writes survive and resume can walk the chain.
- K3 (P2): for the same reason, clean delta-write rows are no longer orphaned — their
  checkpoint is persisted alongside them. (For LibreChat's standard Annotation/messages
  graph a clean run makes no putWrites at all — verified empirically — so the common path
  still writes nothing and the optimization is unchanged.)
- K2 (P2): the 1024 FIFO cap could evict a valid in-flight id whose put() was just behind
  Mongo I/O, mis-classifying its interrupt checkpoint as a clean exit. Replaced with
  time-based eviction: only ids older than 5 min (a put always follows its putWrites within
  ms) are swept; a recent in-flight id is never dropped, and the map grows rather than evict
  a valid id if nothing is stale.

New integration test: a checkpoint anchored by a NON-interrupt write is persisted. Full
agents/HITL suites green (108).

* style(checkpointer): fix import order to satisfy sort-imports CI

* fix(checkpointer): don't persist failed-turn (error-only) checkpoints

LazyMongoSaver anchored on ANY pending write, so a non-paused turn that
errors (LangGraph records an __error__ write then a put) was persisted and,
with the clean-path prune removed, lingered until the next fresh-turn prune
or the Mongo TTL. Anchor only on resumable writes — INTERRUPT or a real
(non-__-prefixed) state/delta channel — so error/bookkeeping-only checkpoints
are discarded at the source. Addresses Codex P3.

Codex P2 (delta-stub parent orphan) is not reachable: the SDK graph uses
standard Annotation/MessagesAnnotation channels (no DeltaChannel), and under
durability:'exit' putWrites precedes put with a parentless boundary
checkpoint — probe-confirmed against @langchain/langgraph@1.4. Documented the
durability:'exit' invariant the saver depends on.

Tests: error-only put discarded; e2e throwing graph persists 0 checkpoints.

* fix(checkpointer): drop bookkeeping-only write batches, not just the checkpoint

The prior fix stopped the failed-turn CHECKPOINT from persisting, but putWrites
still forwarded the __error__ batch to MongoDBSaver.putWrites — writing a row to
agent_checkpoint_writes whose parent checkpoint is then discarded. With the
post-run deleteThread removed, that orphan row lingered until the Mongo TTL or
the conversation's next pre-run prune. putWrites now drops a non-resumable
(bookkeeping-only) batch entirely instead of forwarding it.

Probed against a real MongoDBSaver (mongodb-memory-server): a throwing graph now
leaves 0 checkpoints AND 0 write rows (was 0 + 1 orphan), while interrupt->resume
is unaffected — the __interrupt__ write is resumable so it is still forwarded.
Addresses Codex P2 (round 3).

Tests: error-only put leaves no checkpoint and no write row; e2e throwing graph
leaves both collections empty; new e2e interrupt->resume completes with the
approval value.

* fix(checkpointer): un-anchor a checkpoint whose putWrites failed; freshen comments

Self-review findings on the converged PR:

1. LangGraph dispatches put() concurrently with putWrites (probe-confirmed on
   1.4.5), and put() still completes when putWrites rejects — so a transient
   Mongo failure during the interrupt write could persist a checkpoint whose
   __interrupt__ row is missing (an unresumable phantom pause). putWrites now
   deletes the write anchor on rejection (best-effort) and rethrows, so that
   put() discards the checkpoint instead. The pre-recorded anchor stays where
   it is — recording after the await would drop slow-I/O interrupts on the
   success path, which the same probe showed is reachable.

2. Renamed leftovers: two comments still said InterruptOnlyMongoSaver; the
   class is LazyMongoSaver.

3. Documented why the pre-run prune is deliberately unconditional per HITL
   turn (any cheaper gate can go stale across replicas and skip the prune
   exactly when an orphaned interrupt exists).

Test: failed putWrites → subsequent put persists nothing (14/14 green).

* fix(checkpointer): bookkeeping write batches follow their checkpoint's fate

The round-3 rule dropped bookkeeping-only putWrites batches (__error__/
__resume__/__no_writes__) unconditionally — batch-scoped, when the decision
must be checkpoint-scoped. Probe-confirmed (langgraph 1.4.5, durability:'exit'):
a Send fan-out that pauses on one sibling records the completed siblings as
pure __no_writes__ batches on the RETAINED interrupt checkpoint; dropping those
markers makes resume re-execute the completed siblings (side effects measured
twice). Addresses Codex M2 (P2).

putWrites now PARKS a bookkeeping-only batch in memory until the checkpoint's
fate is known: forwarded when the checkpoint is anchored (or was just
persisted — put is dispatched concurrently), dropped when put discards it. Net:
an errored turn still leaves nothing durable (0 checkpoints, 0 write rows),
and a retained checkpoint stores byte-for-byte what a plain MongoDBSaver would.

Codex M1 (__resume__ lost on re-pause) did not reproduce: the re-pause emits
[__interrupt__,__resume__] as ONE batch (anchored, forwarded whole) and a
second resume on a rebuilt graph replays both answers correctly — but the
fate-scoped buffering now covers a lone __resume__ batch in any ordering too.

Tests: bookkeeping preserved on a retained checkpoint in either arrival order;
e2e Send-sibling pause/resume with side-effect counters (was {a:2,c:2} under
the drop rule, now {a:1,c:1}); error-only turn still leaves both collections
empty. 16/16 green.

* chore: add @langchain/langgraph-checkpoint-mongodb for HITL durable resume

* feat: HITL tool approval runtime — backend (Slice B)

- endpoints.agents.checkpointer config + durable Mongo checkpointer (seam over the app
  connection; SDK MemorySaver fallback) with a TTL index + deleteThread pruning
- HITL run wiring (PreToolUse policy hook + humanInTheLoop) attached in createRun, fully
  inert when toolApproval.enabled is off
- interrupt gate (pause job -> requires_action + emit on_pending_action) and a resume
  route that rebuilds the run from the durable checkpoint and run.resume()s it
- atomic single-winner resolve; agent-consistency guard; expireStaleApprovals terminal
  event; checkpoint pruned on every non-paused completion (thread_id == conversationId)

* feat: HITL tool approval UI — frontend (Slice B)

approve/reject/edit/respond + ask-user controls in the tool card (OAuth-button precedent),
batch-aware single submit, live + reconnect (resumeState.pendingAction) wiring, and resume
mutations posting to /agents/chat/resume.

* fix(hitl): decouple ApprovalProvider from chat context

ApprovalProvider is now pure state (safe to mount in provider-less / shared / test
renders); the context-dependent submit moved to a useResumeSubmit hook the cards call.
Part imports getAskUserQuestionPart from ~/utils/approval directly so suites that
partial-mock ~/utils render Part without throwing.

* fix(hitl): address Codex review — backend

- P1: enforce per-tool allowed_decisions on resume (reject a crafted decision the
  policy disallows) via findDisallowedDecisions
- prune the durable checkpoint on user-abort of a paused run, and before a fresh
  HITL turn, so a new turn cannot rehydrate an expired/aborted interrupt (thread_id
  is the stable conversationId)
- persist + use isTemporary and the original parentMessageId on resume (temporary
  chats stay temporary; initializeAgent scopes thread files off the right parent)
- generate a deferred first-turn title BEFORE completeJob so its event reaches the
  client and the final event carries the real title
- moderateText: skip when there is no text (tool-approval resume) and moderate the
  ask-user answer, instead of denying on an empty input

* fix(hitl): address Codex review — frontend

- render ToolApproval for ANY paused agent tool card (bash/code/file/etc.), not just
  the generic ToolCall, by wrapping the tool-card branch in Part (moved the rendering
  out of ToolCall)
- findPendingActionMessageIndex only matches an assistant message, never the user
  message (the underscore-strip could target the user bubble before the assistant
  placeholder exists)

* fix(hitl): address Codex re-review

- title eligibility checks the user message’s parent (first turn), not the response’s
  parent — the previous check could never be true and skipped title generation
- use client.buildResponseMetadata() for the resumed message so contextUsage /
  thoughtSignatures survive (the abort-only helper dropped them)
- moderate decisions[].responseText (the respond action’s user text)
- give /chat/abort req.config (configMiddleware) so the HITL checkpoint prune on abort
  actually runs
- read resume state BEFORE setContentParts so the in-memory store does not lose the
  pre-pause seed content
- count resumes against LIMIT_CONCURRENT_MESSAGES (increment/decrement) so paused-then-
  resumed turns cannot bypass the limit
- require actionId on resume so a body without it cannot resolve the current action

* fix(hitl): address Codex re-review (round 3) — resume fidelity

Bring the lean resume path to parity with sendMessage for things it bypassed:
- carry userMCPAuthMap into the rebuilt run so approved MCP tools keep the user's creds
- seed initialSessions (buildInitialToolSessions) so approved code/file/skill tools have
  the pre-pause uploaded-file context (esp. cross-replica / after restart)
- await client.artifactPromises and persist them as response attachments (else tool
  artifacts created after the pause vanish on reload / for late subscribers)
- merge metadata: cumulative usage (+ summary marker) from the job, contextUsage /
  thoughtSignatures from the client — fixes the round-2 regression that underreported
  post-resume cost

* fix(hitl): address Codex re-review (round 4) — resume hardening

- resume: require an EXACT paused agent_id match (reject omitted/ephemeral
  agent_id, not just a different one) and reject an endpoint mismatch, so a
  request can't rebuild the claimed checkpoint on a different graph
- moderateText: also moderate a tool-approval decision's reject `reason` and
  stringified `editedArguments`, not just `responseText`
- request: re-mark the paused response `unfinished:true` after BaseClient saves
  it as completed, so an expired / never-resumed approval doesn't leave a
  "finished" response in history; the resume path overwrites it on success

* test(hitl): route-level integration test for the resume controller

Adds api/server/controllers/agents/__tests__/resume.spec.js, a supertest
integration test that drives the real ResumeAgentController over the full
pause -> approve -> resume -> finalize lifecycle with the SDK run, durable
checkpointer, Mongo, and concurrency cache mocked. The pure decision/liveness
helpers run for real via requireActual, so the guard ladder is exercised end to
end rather than stubbed.

25 cases covering:
- the authorization / staleness / agent-and-endpoint / actionId guard ladder
- tool_approval validation (undecided tool call, policy-disallowed decision)
- ask_user_question answer requirement
- the concurrency gate (429) and the atomic single-winner claim (409)
- the happy path: ACK, run reconstruction, decision->SDK mapping, finalize
  (save the now-finished response, emit done, complete job, prune checkpoint)
- first-turn title generation before stream completion
- re-pause (no double finalize), abort-during-resume (no double finalize),
  and the resume-failure terminal path (emitError + completeJob + prune)

* test(hitl): strengthen resume coverage + add approval util tests

Acts on a self-audit of the new resume integration test.

resume.spec.js (25 -> 32 cases):
- replace the tautological emitDone assertion (it only checked the hardcoded
  `final: true`) with a structural check of the finalEvent payload —
  responseMessage content/id/unfinished, requestMessage identity, title
- cover the previously-unwalked finalize branches: tool-artifact attachments
  (null-filtered), the aggregatedContent fallback when live content is empty,
  and client response-metadata attachment
- add guard cases: unsupported pending-action type (400) and the
  pre-multi-tenancy null-tenantId pass-through (must not 403)
- add error-path cases: first-turn title generation throwing must still
  finalize, and a completeJob failure during a resume error must force a
  terminal job state via the last-resort updateJob

client/src/utils/approval.spec.ts (new, 15 cases):
- applyPendingAction tool_approval: join by tool_call_id not position,
  skip completed calls, default allowed_decisions to [], referential
  stability when nothing changes
- applyPendingAction ask_user_question: append, idempotent replace on replay,
  non-array content coercion
- getAskUserQuestionPart type guard; findPendingActionMessageIndex
  assistant-only resolution (never resolves to the user bubble)

* fix(hitl): address Codex re-review (round 5)

Five findings verified against the code before fixing:

- resume: require an EXACT endpoint match (like agent_id) — a resume that OMITS
  endpoint must not fall through, since the shared chat middleware treats a
  missing/non-agents endpoint as the ephemeral agent and could rebuild the
  claimed checkpoint on a different graph
- resume: filter malformed content parts before saving the finished response,
  matching the normal AgentClient path (a resumed turn could otherwise persist
  an empty/invalid tool_call part that breaks reload/rendering)
- resume: accumulate tool artifacts across pause segments — persist them on
  re-pause and MERGE (not overwrite) at finalize, so artifacts produced before
  a second approval pause aren't dropped by the next rebuilt client
- approval (client): findPendingActionMessageIndex returns -1 when a provided
  responseMessageId isn't found, so the caller retries instead of attaching the
  prompt/approval to a prior assistant reply; fall back to the last assistant
  only when no responseMessageId is given
- RedisJobStore: make appendChunk extend-only (XADD + EXPIRE-if-shorter via a
  single eval) so the on_pending_action chunk emitted after a pause can't reset
  the chunk-stream TTL back to the running window and evict pre-pause content
  before the approval is resolved

Tests: +endpoint-omitted/unsupported-type/malformed-filter/attachment-merge/
re-pause-persist cases in resume.spec.js (36); ask-retry -1 semantics in
approval.spec.ts (16); extend-only TTL assertion in the RedisJobStore Redis
integration spec.

* test(hitl): mongodb-memory-server integration test for the checkpointer seam

The checkpointer unit spec covers config/selection with no DB connection; this
exercises the durable Mongo seam against a real (in-memory) MongoDB — the part
correctness actually depends on:

- getAgentCheckpointer builds a real MongoDBSaver when Mongo is connected and
  setup() creates the TTL index (expireAfterSeconds) on the checkpoint collection
- memory type returns undefined (SDK MemorySaver fallback) even when connected
- saver is memoized per resolved config
- deleteAgentCheckpoint prunes a thread's persisted checkpoint (the cross-turn
  isolation guarantee: turn N+1 on the same conversationId can't rehydrate it)
- pruning is thread-scoped — deleting one conversation leaves others intact
- undefined threadId is a no-op

* fix(hitl): address Codex re-review (round 6)

Four findings verified against the code before fixing:

- messageFilterPii: scan the resume payload's user-authored text (ask-user
  `answer`, and a tool-approval decision's `respond` text, `reject` reason, and
  edited tool arguments) — the shared /resume route ran through the PII filter
  but it only inspected req.body.text, so a blocked token rode the resume
  payload back into the model/tool (mirrors the earlier moderateText fix)
- resume: re-prime skill files invoked in the pre-pause segment before rebuilding
  the run, so an approved code/file-backed tool keeps the injected skill-file
  session refs instead of running without them (mirrors the normal path's
  primeInvokedSkills; the pre-pause content stands in for the message payload)
- hitl: pin the graph identity. Persist a fingerprint of the graph-determining
  request fields (endpoint, agent_id, model, spec, ephemeralAgent — normalized)
  on the pending action at pause, and reject a resume whose recomputed
  fingerprint differs. This closes the ephemeral-agent gap, where agent_id is
  undefined so the id guard can't tell two ephemeral configs apart
- resume: reject incomplete edit/respond decisions (findIncompleteDecisions) —
  an `edit` without an object editedArguments or a `respond` without non-empty
  responseText is 400'd before mapping, rather than defaulting to {} / '' and
  resuming with behavior the user never approved

Tests: incomplete-decision + fingerprint match/mismatch cases in resume.spec.js
(41); findIncompleteDecisions + computeAgentRequestFingerprint unit tests; and
resume-field PII cases in messageFilterPii.spec.ts.

* fix(hitl): address Codex re-review (round 7)

Four findings verified against the code before fixing:

- RedisJobStore: clear `agent_id` on createJob (add it to staleHitlFields). The
  job hash is keyed by conversationId and reused across turns; updateMetadata
  only writes agent_id when truthy, so a conversation that switched from a saved
  agent to an ephemeral/no-agent turn kept the old id and the resume guard
  rejected the valid pause as a different agent. (real correctness bug)
- fingerprint: include `promptPrefix` in computeAgentRequestFingerprint, and
  re-send it on resume (ResumeAgentFields + buildResumeFields). Ephemeral agents
  derive their system instructions from promptPrefix, so a resume changing it
  previously passed the pin and rebuilt different instructions. (completes the
  round-6 fingerprint)
- resume: the re-pause branch now persists the segment's accumulated CONTENT
  (filtered), not just artifacts, so an approval that expires/reaps without a
  final resume no longer loses everything streamed during the resumed segment.
- request: carry `manualSkills`/`alwaysAppliedSkills` on the persisted user
  message so a resumed turn's reconstructed requestMessage keeps its skill pills
  instead of dropping them until a full reload.

Deferred (narrow, no safe contained fix yet — see PR thread replies):
- resume rebuild without `addedConvo` for a multi-conversation/added-agent pane
- cross-replica re-prime of manually-selected (not model-invoked) skill files

Tests: stale-agent createJob clearing (Redis integration), promptPrefix
fingerprint match/mismatch (resume.spec.js + policy.spec.ts), re-pause content
persistence (resume.spec.js).

* fix(hitl): address Codex re-review (round 8)

Five findings verified against the code before fixing; the headline is a durable-
resume correctness fix (the fingerprint had surfaced it as a 403):

- resume durability (the important one): persist the graph-determining request
  fields (endpoint, agent_id, model, spec, promptPrefix, ephemeralAgent) on the
  pending action as `resumeContext`, and REPLAY them onto the resume request via
  a router-level middleware that runs before buildEndpointOption. The client
  can't reconstruct the ephemeral-agent config after a reload/cross-session, so
  the round-6/7 fingerprint would 403 a valid durable resume — and even without
  it the rebuilt agent would lose its tools. Replaying server-side rebuilds the
  SAME graph regardless of client state (and a crafted resume can't swap it; the
  fingerprint still matches because the body is restored first).
- RedisJobStore: also clear `isTemporary` on createJob (same class as agent_id):
  a prior temporary turn's flag would otherwise survive a reused conversation
  hash and a later non-temporary resume would save its response as temporary.
- resume: persist `contextMeta` (context-window calibration) onto the saved
  response like BaseClient does, so the next turn can seed its pruner.
- request: carry manualSkills/alwaysAppliedSkills into the onStart metadata
  update (not just the preliminary one it overwrites), so a resumed turn's
  requestMessage keeps its skill pills.

Deferred (narrow — see thread reply):
- saved-agent edited WHILE a run is paused: agent_id matches but the definition
  changed; needs an agent version/config hash, which is a larger change for a
  narrow window.

Tests: resumeContext pick/apply + round-trip (policy.spec.ts), contextMeta +
manualSkills-on-requestMessage (resume.spec.js), isTemporary clearing (Redis
integration).

* style(hitl): prettier line-wrap in policy.spec.ts (R8 lint fix)

* fix(hitl): address Codex re-review (round 9)

Five findings, all fixed (addedConvo — deferred in rounds 7/8 — is now trivial
thanks to the round-8 replay):

- replay addedConvo: add it to RESUME_CONTEXT_KEYS so the resume middleware
  restores the parallel/secondary-agent config from the paused request; the
  client can't reconstruct it, and it determines the rebuilt graph.
- skill pills (the real fix this time): the round-8 onStart metadata write was
  overwritten by trackUserMessage (the authoritative userMessage writer). Carry
  manualSkills/alwaysAppliedSkills in the emitted `created` message and persist
  them in trackUserMessage; widen UserMessageMeta + SerializableJobData.userMessage.
- execute-code files on resume: seed the paused user message's own files onto
  req.body.files before initializeClient — they're excluded from the
  parent-walk code-session rebuild, so an approved code/read-file tool would
  otherwise resume without them.
- in-memory pending-action UI: route ApprovalEvents.ON_PENDING_ACTION in the
  resume replay/pending-event loops to applyPendingActionToMessages (mirror the
  live handler), so a pause that lands in the snapshot window still renders its
  approval controls instead of sitting paused with no UI.
- abort isTemporary: the /chat/abort partial-save now sources isTemporary from
  the job metadata, not req.body (the stop button posts only conversationId), so
  aborting a paused temporary chat no longer persists an orphaned partial.

Tests: addedConvo in pickResumeContext (policy.spec.ts), file-restore on resume
(resume.spec.js), abort-from-job-isTemporary (abort.spec.js).

* fix(hitl): address Codex re-review (round 10) — resume/expiry races

Three concurrency/coherence findings, verified against the code before fixing:

- expiry-sweep CAS scope: both stale-approval sweeps (GenerationJobManager
  expireStaleApprovals and the RedisJobStore requires_action cleanup) called
  expire()/transitionStatus WITHOUT the observed pendingAction.actionId, so the
  CAS only checked status===requires_action. Between the read and the CAS a user
  could resolve the observed action and the run re-pause on a FRESH action; the
  stale sweep would then abort that valid new pause. Now both pass the observed
  actionId as expectActionId, so the CAS only fires for the action read as stale
  (a re-paused action has a different id → no-op).
- resume graph cache: resumeCompletion cached the rebuilt graph (created with
  messages:[]) via setGraph; RedisJobStore.getContentParts prefers a cached
  graph over reconstructing from the chunk log, so a same-replica reload/status
  poll mid-resume returned aggregatedContent missing the pre-pause content. Skip
  setGraph on resume so introspection falls back to the complete chunk
  reconstruction (setContentParts still seeds the in-memory store).
- pending-action UI: applyPendingActionToMessages scheduled a SINGLE
  animation-frame retry then dropped the pending action; Recoil/React updates can
  take several frames under load, leaving a valid requires_action run with no
  approval controls. Retry across frames (bounded at 120) until the target
  message commits.

Test: expire() with a mismatched expectedActionId no-ops while the matching id
expires (pendingAction.spec.ts).

* chore(deps): update @librechat/agents to version 3.2.53 and @langchain/langgraph to version 1.4.7 in package-lock.json and related package.json files

* refactor(hitl): add resolveToolApprovalPolicy seam for layered policy

Extract the single point where tool-approval policy is resolved for a turn
(`resolveToolApprovalPolicy`) and route the run call site through it instead
of reading `endpoints.agents.toolApproval` inline.

Behaviour-preserving: only the `endpoint` layer is wired today, so the result
is identical to reading the app policy directly. The `agent` and `skills`
layers are reserved seams with documented precedence (endpoint owns the
`enabled` kill switch; agent overrides mode/allow/deny/ask/reason; skills may
only tighten), so future per-agent and per-skill policy plumbing lands in one
function rather than at the `createRun` site. Adds focused unit tests.

* fix(hitl): address Codex re-review (round 11) — resume hardening

F1 (P2, security) — applyResumeContext now DELETES any RESUME_CONTEXT_KEY
absent from the persisted context, so the resume body carries exactly the
graph-determining fields the pause had. Previously only defined keys were
overwritten, leaving a client-supplied `addedConvo` (which the request
fingerprint does not cover) in place — a crafted resume could rebuild a
single-agent checkpoint as a different multi-agent graph/tool set.

F3 (P2) — the resume route ACKs (res.json) before initializeClient, so a
post-ACK getMCPRequestContext(req, res) saw the response as finished and
returned undefined, leaving the resumed run without its run-scoped MCP
connection store (approved MCP / OAuth-overlay tools then ran without their
request-scoped connections). Pre-seed the store with a null res +
cleanupOnResponse:false before the ACK and tear it down in the finally,
mirroring the normal stream path (request.js). userMCPAuthMap was already
preserved separately, so credentials were not lost — only the connection store.

Declined: the ApprovalContext NEW_CONVO guard (P2) is a false positive — the
`created` SSE event updates the conversation atom before any pause renders, so
the id is concrete by click time (details in the PR thread).

Tests: policy.spec (absent-key delete) + resume.spec (MCP context pre-seed/cleanup order).

* fix(hitl): address Codex re-review (round 12) — resume fidelity + multi-tool UI

F4 (P2) — temporal prompt vars: resume rebuilt the agent without restoring
req.conversationCreatedAt or req.body.timezone, so {{current_datetime}}-style
vars compiled a different system prompt than the paused graph (resume wall-clock,
unzoned). Add 'timezone' to RESUME_CONTEXT_KEYS (persisted at pause, replayed by
the resume middleware) and restore conversationCreatedAt from the convo before
initializeClient — mirroring the normal path's resolveConversationCreatedAt.

F5 (P2) — multi-tool approval: applyPendingActionToMessages stopped retrying once
ANY tool-call part was tagged, so siblings that rendered on later frames never got
approval controls and the resume route 400'd the partial batch. Add
countTaggedApprovalParts and keep the bounded RAF retry going until every
action_request is tagged (ask_user_question unchanged — one synthetic part).

F6 (P3) — Edit accepted `null`/`[]` (valid JSON, non-object), enabling Submit for
a value the resume route rejects via findIncompleteDecisions. Mirror the server's
plain-object check in the client (store + editIsValid) so Submit only enables for
an accepted value.

Tests: policy.spec (timezone round-trip), resume.spec (conversationCreatedAt
restore), approval.spec (countTaggedApprovalParts).

* fix(hitl): address Codex re-review (round 13) — recurse into subagent approvals

F9 (P2) — a tool paused INSIDE a subagent has its tool_call_id in the parent
subagent tool_call's nested `subagent_content`, not as a top-level message part.
applyToolApproval and countTaggedApprovalParts only scanned top-level content, so
the approval never attached and the round-12 retry loop counted 0 tagged parts and
spun to its frame cap with no controls. Both now recurse into `subagent_content`
(immutably, so React refs update): the nested call gets tagged and is counted, so
the retry terminates. Added approval.spec cases for the nested tag + count.

Note: surfacing the interactive approve/reject controls inside the subagent view is
a deliberate follow-up — ToolApproval -> useResumeSubmit -> useChatContext crashes
when rendered in the portaled subagent dialog (outside the chat/approval providers),
so that needs the controls scoped to the in-provider inline render (or the dialog
wrapped with the providers). This commit fixes the data/traversal layer only.

F7 (discovered-tool history on resume) and F8 (redis chunk TTL pause race) were
verified false positives — see the PR threads.

* fix(hitl): address Codex re-review (round 14) — resume fidelity + expiry relay

F13 (P2) — manualSkills are graph-determining (skill allowed-tools union into the
tool set before tools load) but weren't replayed, so a reload lost the skill tools
and a crafted resume could inject a different skill past the fingerprint. Add
'manualSkills' to RESUME_CONTEXT_KEYS (same replay-only pattern as timezone/
addedConvo; the delete-absent half blocks injection). Not alwaysAppliedSkills —
that's resolved server-side from the DB, not req.body.

F12 (P2) — the resume final SSE built requestMessage from job.metadata.userMessage
(persisted without files), so attachments vanished from the user bubble on resume.
Spread the already-restored req.body.files onto it, matching the normal path.

F11 (P2) — multi-replica approval expiry: RedisJobStore.cleanupRequiresActionIndex
on another replica can win the requires_action->aborted CAS (it sets the hash error
but has no event transport), and the local sweep then skips because the job is no
longer requires_action, so a client subscribed here never gets the terminal error
until the reap path. expireStaleApprovals now relays APPROVAL_EXPIRED_ERROR for a
locally-subscribed job already aborted FOR approval expiry (error-string gated,
idempotent via the errorEvent flag). emitError already publishes cross-replica.

Tests: policy.spec (manualSkills round-trip + inject-drop), resume.spec (final
requestMessage carries restored files).

* fix(hitl): render approval controls for subagent-nested tool pauses (F10)

Round-13 made applyToolApproval/countTaggedApprovalParts recurse into
subagent_content (data), but SubagentDialogPart rendered nested TOOL_CALL parts
with <ToolCall> only and never mounted <ToolApproval>, so a tool paused inside a
subagent showed no controls and the run was unresolvable.

Render <ToolApproval> in SubagentDialogPart's TOOL_CALL branch when the nested
tool_call carries an approval and isn't yet resolved, mirroring the top-level
Part.tsx render. The subagent dialog portals (OGDialog → ReactDOM.createPortal),
but React context flows through the React tree, not the DOM tree, so ToolApproval
resolves ApprovalProvider/ChatContext and the controls work + submit.

Also harden useResumeSubmit: read ChatContext via useContext (non-throwing)
instead of the throwing useChatContext wrapper, so the cards never crash when
rendered outside a ChatContext.Provider (e.g. a search/citation render that passes
chat context as a prop) — they degrade to inert (buildResumeFields returns null).

* style(hitl): re-sort run.ts imports after dev rebase

* fix(hitl): address Codex re-review (round 15) — resume content fidelity

F14 (P2) — hide_sequential_outputs was applied in chatCompletion before
saving/emitting content but not on resume, so a sequential-agent chain that
pauses for HITL and resumes persisted/emitted intermediate outputs the setting
is meant to hide. Extracted the filter into applyHideSequentialOutputsFilter()
and call it from both chatCompletion and resumeCompletion (after handleRunInterrupt,
covering the finalize + re-pause reads of client.contentParts).

F16 (P2) — on a reloaded HITL pause, the DB already holds the paused user row +
partial assistant row; useResumeOnLoad fed those as submission.messages, then
finalHandler/createdHandler appended the same pair via requestMessage/responseMessage,
duplicating the turn (buildTree doesn't dedupe children by messageId). buildSubmission-
FromResumeState now strips the paused user/response rows (by messageId, incl. the
padded/unpadded response id) from submission.messages — they're re-supplied by the
placeholders + final event. Frontend-only; live (non-reload) pause path untouched.

Deferred: F15 (collapsed-card subagent approval registration/visibility) — see thread.

Tests: client.test (filter keeps last + tool_call parts / no-op when off),
useResumeOnLoad.spec (paused pair stripped from submission.messages).

* fix(hitl): address Codex re-review (round 16) — chunk TTL, slot, job replacement

F17 (P2) — chunk-stream TTL on pause-before-chunk. CHUNK_APPEND_LUA derived its
ceiling only from the chunk key's current TTL, so when the chunks key didn't exist
at pause (fire-and-forget append in flight, or an ask-user pause before any chunk),
the on_pending_action append created the stream with only the 20m running TTL while
the approval window is 24h — content evicted before resume. The Lua now also reads
the job key (KEYS[2]); when status == requires_action it takes max(running, TTL(jobKey))
(the approval window transitionStatus set), else the running TTL. Extend-only preserved;
gated on paused status so normal runs never inflate. Both keys share {streamId} (cluster-safe).

F19 (P2) — with LIMIT_CONCURRENT_MESSAGES, the approval prompt was emitted before the
original request released its slot, so a fast Approve got /resume 429'd. handleRunInterrupt
now releases the slot (idempotent via pendingRequestReleased) right after the pause, before
the prompt; the request.js pause branch and resume.js finally only release if it didn't
(no double-release).

F20 (P2) — finalizeResumedTurn never checked the job wasn't replaced before emitDone/
completeJob/saveMessage, so a stale resume could clobber a newer turn that reused the
conversationId. Added the createdAt guard the normal request path uses (skip finalization
when the live job's createdAt != the paused job's).

Deferred: F18 (subagent_content not reconstructed on Redis resume) — joins the subagent
cluster (F15). See thread.

Tests: RedisJobStore integration (pause-before-chunk gets approval TTL; running stays short),
resume.spec (skip finalization on replacement; no double slot release on re-pause).

* 🛡️ fix: Guard HITL terminal side-effects against job replacement

Jobs are keyed by streamId == conversationId, so a new request REPLACES the
running one on the same conversation. The replaced generation's tail must not
clobber the live generation's state. Each path now re-reads the live job and
compares createdAt against the generation's captured identity before acting.

- Thread the generation's createdAt onto the client (request.js + resume.js)
  as client.jobCreatedAt — the identity every guard compares against.
- handleRunInterrupt: skip approvals.pause when this run is no longer the live
  job, so a stale interrupt can't flip the NEWER job to requires_action.
- chatCompletion finally: skip the checkpoint prune when replaced, so an older
  run's late finally can't delete the newer run's resume checkpoint.
- resume catch-path: gate emitError/completeJob/prune behind a stillLive check
  (fail-open if the read throws), mirroring finalizeResumedTurn's success guard.
- Persist the turn's uploaded files on job.metadata.userMessage (authoritative
  trackUserMessage writer) and prefer them on resume over the user DB row, whose
  save can still be racing a fast /resume.

Tests: 13 guard-predicate cases in jobReplacement.spec.js.

* 🔁 fix: Harden HITL resume — ownership re-check, file seeding, deferred-tool replay

Three follow-ups to the round-17 job-replacement guards (Codex review 4594099963):

- G1 (resume.js): the success-path ownership guard runs at the START of
  finalizeResumedTurn, but saveMessage + first-turn title generation await long
  enough for a new request to replace the job on the same conversationId. Re-read
  the live job immediately before emitDone/completeJob/prune so the terminal writes
  can't tear down the REPLACEMENT job — mirrors the catch-path guard.

- G2 (request.js): onStart's metadata/chunk writes that persist the turn's files
  are fire-and-forget, so a fast approval could read job.metadata.userMessage before
  files landed. Seed files into getPreliminaryUserMessage instead — that write is
  AWAITED before the run starts, so files are durable before any interrupt can emit.

- G3 (run.ts + client.js + resume.js + IJobStore.ts): the resumed graph is rebuilt
  with messages: [], so createRun's tool_search-discovery scan finds nothing. A
  deferred tool discovered earlier in the turn (and targeted by the paused call) was
  therefore absent from the rebuilt schema-only toolMap — resume would throw "unknown
  tool" (no loadRuntimeTools fallback is wired). Capture discovered tool names at
  pause via extractDiscoveredToolsFromHistory(run.getRunMessages()), persist them on
  job.metadata.discoveredTools, and replay them into createRun's new discoveredToolNames
  input (merged with message-extracted names, gated on hasAnyDeferredTools — inert
  otherwise). A new createRun test proves the deferred tool is promoted with the replay
  and absent without it (reproducing the bug).

Tests: real createRun deferred-replay suite (run-summarization.test.ts) + G1/G2/G3
guard predicates (jobReplacement.spec.js). Full suite green.

* 🔒 fix: Close HITL resume metadata + file-substitution + pause-race gaps

Four findings on the round-18 commit (Codex review 4594430222):

- H1 (P1, regression in round-18 G3): the discoveredTools captured at pause never
  reached resume — three metadata allowlists dropped it: GenerationJobManager
  .updateMetadata, RedisJobStore.deserializeJob, and buildJobFacade (plus the
  GenerationJobMetadata type). Added discoveredTools to all four, so the deferred-tool
  replay actually works end-to-end (in-memory store already kept it via Object.assign).

- H2 (P2, security): /resume honored a client-supplied `files` array, letting a crafted
  client resume an approved code/read-file tool against a DIFFERENT file set than the one
  approved (files aren't in the resume fingerprint/context). Resume now ALWAYS sources
  files from the paused job (metadata → DB row), clearing any client-supplied set.

- H3 (P2, ephemeral fidelity): non-default model parameters (temperature, max tokens,
  custom endpoint params) were lost on resume — ephemeral agents derive them from the
  request body, which the resume payload omits. Capture the resolved model_parameters in
  resumeContext at pause and replay them onto the body on resume (excluding `model`, which
  is replayed via the fingerprinted RESUME_CONTEXT_KEYS path). Saved agents already source
  these from the DB.

- H4 (P2, Redis race): a pause landing between the resume snapshot and the Pub/Sub
  subscription reached neither resumeState.pendingAction nor (Redis) pendingEvents, and
  approval events aren't persisted to replayEvents — the client attached to a paused job
  with no approval UI. subscribeWithResume now re-reads the live job AFTER subscribing and
  surfaces the pending action if the snapshot missed it (live read, no staleness).

Tests: discoveredTools metadata round-trip + subscribeWithResume re-read (pendingAction
.spec.ts); client-file substitution rejection (resume.spec.js); model-parameter replay
predicate (jobReplacement.spec.js).

* 🧹 fix: Clear stale discovered tools, release slot on claim error, extend run-step TTL

Three follow-ups on the round-19 commit (Codex review 4594783691):

- I1 (P2): the round-19 discoveredTools field wasn't cleared on Redis streamId reuse.
  HSET only overwrites listed fields and handleRunInterrupt only writes discoveredTools
  when THIS turn discovers a deferred tool — so a replacement turn that pauses without its
  own discovery inherited the prior run's tool names and force-loaded undiscovered deferred
  tools on resume. Added discoveredTools to createJob's staleHitlFields HDEL list (the
  in-memory store already builds a fresh object, so it was Redis-only).

- I2 (P2): with LIMIT_CONCURRENT_MESSAGES, approvals.resolve runs after the slot increment
  but before the run's try/finally, so a store/Redis error there leaked the slot until the
  counter TTL expired (spurious 429s on retry of the still-paused approval). Wrapped the
  claim in try/catch that decrements the slot and returns 500.

- I3 (P3): saveRunSteps did SET ... EX running unconditionally, resetting the run-steps key
  to the 20-min running TTL even while the job is paused for the longer approval window —
  a reload after that window lost the tool timeline. Now uses a paused-window TTL script
  mirroring the chunk-stream no-shrink behavior (extends to the approval window when the
  job hash is requires_action).

Also fixes a latent strict-tsc cast error in the round-19 pendingAction test.

Tests: claim-throws-releases-slot (resume.spec.js); discoveredTools cleared on reuse +
saveRunSteps preserves the paused TTL (RedisJobStore integration, USE_REDIS).

* 🛡️ fix: Guard fast-resume save race, gate HITL to resumable routes, expire on stale submit

Three findings on the round-20 commit (Codex review 4595045652):

- J2 (P1): a fast /resume can claim + finalize the COMPLETED response while the original
  request's pause branch is still awaiting `response.databasePromise`; the later
  unfinished-save then overwrites the completed content. Re-check the job is still paused on
  THIS generation's action (a claim leaves requires_action; a replacement bumps createdAt)
  before marking the row unfinished; fail open on a read error.

- J3 (P1): the tool-approval wiring (humanInTheLoop + PreToolUse hook + checkpointer) was
  applied to EVERY createRun caller when toolApproval.enabled, but the OpenAI-compatible and
  Responses controllers never inspect run.getInterrupt() or persist a pending action — an
  approval-gated tool would pause there with no approval surface or resume endpoint and the
  route would emit a normal final response / [DONE] with the tool call dangling. Gate the
  wiring on a new createRun `hitlCapable` flag, set only by AgentClient (chat + resume).

- J4 (P2): a stale-action 409 on submit returned without driving expiry, leaving the job
  requires_action with a dead action until the periodic sweeper ran — any attached SSE client
  got no terminal event and the stream appeared to hang. Extracted GenerationJobManager
  .expireApproval(streamId, actionId) (expire CAS + terminal SSE, shared with the sweeper) and
  call it from the resume route when the observed action is stale.

J1 (nested subagent approval controls not mounting while the details dialog is closed) is a
valid frontend issue in the deferred subagent-HITL path — tracked separately (replied on the
thread) since the fix touches the shared dialog primitive and needs UI verification.

Tests: HITL-gate both directions (run-summarization.test.ts); expire-on-stale-submit
(resume.spec.js); fast-resume unfinished-save guard predicate (jobReplacement.spec.js).

🧠 feat: Add Memory as an Agent Capability with Inline Tools and Ephemeral Badge (#13869)
* 🧠 feat: Memory Agent Capability with Inline Tools and Ephemeral Badge

Add `AgentCapabilities.memory`, which expands into the inline set_memory/delete_memory tool pair (mirroring the execute_code expansion via registerMemoryTools) when a run-level memoryAvailable gate holds: capability enabled, memory configured, MEMORIES.USE permission, and personalization not opted out. Surfaces the memory artifact as an attachment in the agents tool-end callback.

Adds the ephemeral path (TEphemeralAgent.memory, load/added agent tool injection), a fully-gated memory badge plus tools-dropdown entry, the agent-builder Memory toggle with form round-trip, and a mock e2e test asserting the badge reaches the request payload. Additive to and independent of the existing post-turn memory extraction agent.

* 🩹 fix: Address Codex review on memory capability (gating, validKeys, usage guard)

- Strip the memory capability from the served agents capabilities when memory is not configured/enabled, so the badge, tools dropdown, agent-builder toggle, and backend capability gate stay consistent instead of exposing an inert toggle on default installs (where MEMORIES.USE defaults true).
- Surface configured memory.validKeys in the inline tool definitions so the model is told the allowed keys up front, matching the runtime createMemoryTool schema.
- Append a strict explicit-request usage guard to the agent instructions when inline memory tools are registered, preserving the memory-agent's privacy behavior.
- Add AppService tests covering memory-capability stripping.

*  test: Update AppService capability snapshots for memory strip

AppService now strips the memory capability from the served agents defaults when no memory block is configured; update the spec's expected capability lists to defaultAgentCapabilitiesWithoutMemory for the no-memory-config cases.

* 🛡️ fix: Address Codex re-review on memory capability (round 2)

- Strip the memory capability from the FINAL served agents config, not just defaults; loadEndpoints reparses any endpoints.agents block, so memory was still exposed in that common shape (packages/data-schemas/src/app/service.ts) + regression test.
- Re-check the full memory gate (config, opt-out, MEMORIES.USE) inside handleTools before constructing set_memory/delete_memory, so an unsolicited tool call from a model/custom endpoint can't bypass the runtime gates (api/app/clients/tools/util/handleTools.js).
- Restore the persisted memory toggle for model-spec conversations via applyModelSpecEphemeralAgent (client/src/utils/endpoints.ts).
- Clear LAST_MEMORY_TOGGLE_ on logout and clear-all-chats so a stale memory preference can't leak across users on a shared browser (client/src/utils/localStorage.ts).

* 🧠 fix: Address Codex re-review on memory capability (round 3)

- Serialize set_memory writes and advance a running token total inside createMemoryTool, so parallel batched calls in one event-driven turn can't each pass the limit check against a stale total and collectively exceed memory.tokenLimit (packages/api/src/agents/memory.ts) + tests.
- Inject the keyed memory context (withKeys) instead of withoutKeys when the running agent has the inline memory capability, so delete_memory has a visible key to target (api/server/controllers/agents/client.js).

* 🔐 fix: Address Codex re-review on memory capability (round 4)

- Detect inline memory by tool NAME (set_memory/delete_memory) across an initialized agent's tools + toolDefinitions, since the 'memory' marker is expanded at init and the prior string check never matched; inject the keyed memory context for any primary OR sub-agent that carries the inline memory tools (api/server/controllers/agents/client.js).
- Enforce memory WRITE permissions in the inline tool gate: set_memory requires CREATE+UPDATE and delete_memory requires UPDATE (matching the REST memory routes), so a USE-only role can't mutate/delete memories via agent tool calls (api/app/clients/tools/util/handleTools.js).

* 🔒 fix: Address Codex re-review on memory capability (round 5)

- Gate inline memory registration (memoryAvailable) on the memory WRITE permissions (USE+CREATE+UPDATE), so a read-only-memory role no longer has set_memory/delete_memory shown to the model only for the runtime loader to refuse them (api/server/services/Endpoints/agents/initialize.js).
- Enforce the per-agent memory opt-in at execution: handleTools now refuses to construct set_memory/delete_memory unless the agent actually declared them (toolDefinitions/tools), blocking hallucinated/undeclared memory tool calls from mutating memory.
- Fail closed when getFormattedMemories errors with a configured tokenLimit, instead of writing as if storage were empty and bypassing the cap (api/app/clients/tools/util/handleTools.js).

* 🩹 fix: Address Codex re-review on memory capability (round 6)

- Fix a P1 regression from the prior round: the execution-context agent keeps the raw 'memory' capability marker (not the expanded set_memory/delete_memory names), so the opt-in check now matches the marker. This restores memory writes/deletes AND avoids hijacking an MCP tool that merely shares the set_memory/delete_memory name (api/app/clients/tools/util/handleTools.js).
- Count repeated set_memory writes to the same key as replacements, not additions, against tokenLimit — set_memory upserts, so a same-key rewrite swaps its prior token contribution instead of double-counting (packages/api/src/agents/memory.ts) + test.
- Gate the memory badge, tools dropdown, and agent-builder toggle on the full memory write permissions (USE+CREATE+UPDATE) via a shared useHasMemoryAccess hook, so a read-only-memory role no longer sees an enabled Memory control the backend would refuse to wire up.

* 🧷 fix: Address Codex re-review on memory capability (round 7)

- Recognize inline memory across both execution-context agent shapes: initializeAgent now sets a LibreChat-only memoryToolsRegistered flag on the InitializedAgent, and the opt-in/detection checks accept that flag OR the raw 'memory' marker. Fixes memory failing for processAddedConvo agents (which store the initialized config, marker already expanded) while staying MCP-name-collision-safe (api/app/clients/tools/util/handleTools.js, packages/api/src/agents/initialize.ts, api/server/controllers/agents/client.js).
- Scope keyed memory context to memory-enabled agents only: useMemory now returns both keyed and unkeyed contexts, and buildMessages injects the keyed one (memory keys + token metadata) only to agents that can call delete_memory, while the primary/post-turn path keeps the unkeyed values — so a primary without memory tools no longer sees memory keys it doesn't need.

* 🔏 fix: Address Codex re-review on memory capability (round 8)

- Enforce memory size limits on inline writes: createMemoryTool now rejects keys over 1000 chars and values over memory.charLimit, matching the REST memory routes, so an inline-memory agent can't persist blobs the memory UI/API would reject (packages/api/src/agents/memory.ts, api/app/clients/tools/util/handleTools.js) + test.
- Recheck the agents 'memory' endpoint capability at execution time, so a stale/hallucinated set_memory/delete_memory call can't mutate memory after an admin removes the capability while the agent document still carries the marker (api/app/clients/tools/util/handleTools.js).

* ♻️ refactor: Move inline-memory backend logic into packages/api + share memory load

Workspace boundary: the inline-memory gating/detection logic that had crept into /api now lives in packages/api/src/agents/memory.ts (TS), with /api kept as thin wrappers.

- Add agentHasInlineMemoryTools, isMemoryToolAllowed, and buildInlineMemoryTool to packages/api; handleTools.js now calls buildInlineMemoryTool instead of constructing/gating the tools inline, and client.js imports agentHasInlineMemoryTools instead of redefining it.
- Optimize repeated memory loads: getRequestMemories memoizes getFormattedMemories per request (WeakMap keyed by req), so the run's memory-context load and every memory-enabled agent's set_memory token-usage load share a single DB fetch instead of one per agent.

* 🧠 fix: Invalidate request memory cache after inline writes

Inline set_memory/delete_memory now invalidate the request-scoped
getFormattedMemories cache on a successful write, so a later tool round
in the same response is seeded with the post-write usage total instead
of the stale pre-write one (multi-round writes no longer collectively
exceed tokenLimit, and a set after a delete is not over-counted). The
within-round sharing across multiple memory-enabled agents is preserved.

* 🧠 fix: Persist memory capability on saved agents; honor registration flag

- Add Tools.memory to the v1 systemTools allowlist so filterAuthorizedTools
  no longer silently drops the memory marker when an agent with the Memory
  capability is created/updated/duplicated through the builder (previously
  the capability only worked for ephemeral chats, not persisted agents).
- agentHasInlineMemoryTools now honors an explicit memoryToolsRegistered
  boolean before falling back to the raw `memory` marker, so an initialized
  config whose registration was denied (memoryAvailable false) is not given
  keyed memory context just because the marker survives in tools.

* 🧩 fix: Bring memory tool to parity with other ephemeral tools

- Add `memory` to the model-spec schema/type and honor `modelSpec.memory`
  in both ephemeral paths (load.ts, added.ts) and the frontend spec
  application, so admins can pre-enable Memory from a model spec exactly
  like webSearch/fileSearch/executeCode.
- Add LAST_MEMORY_TOGGLE_ to the timestamped-storage cleanup list so stale
  per-conversation memory toggles are purged on startup like the others.
- Hide the agent-builder Memory toggle for users who disabled memory in
  personalization (memories === false), mirroring the chat badge's opt-out
  gate, so the setting isn't shown as inert/misleading.

*  test: Cover memory in applyModelSpecEphemeralAgent spec defaults

Update the exact-object assertions to include the new `memory` field and
add positive coverage that `modelSpec.memory` maps to the ephemeral
agent's `memory` flag. Fixes the shard 2/4 failure from 672a03b05.

📺 feat: Google URL Context Param with Native YouTube Video Understanding (#13924)
*  feat: Add Google url_context Param with Native YouTube Video Understanding

Mirror the web_search grounding wiring for a new Google/Gemini `url_context`
model param (resolves to the native `urlContext` tool). When enabled, YouTube
URLs in the latest user message are injected as Gemini video parts (fileData),
since the URL Context tool does not support YouTube.

* 🎞️ fix: Provider-aware YouTube injection limits for url_context

Address Codex review on the YouTube video-understanding path:
- Cap injected YouTube parts per request by provider/model (Vertex: 1; Gemini
  Developer API: 10 on 2.5+, 1 on earlier models) so multi-link messages cannot
  exceed the provider limit and get rejected.
- Set a video/mp4 mimeType on Vertex YouTube fileData (matching Vertex samples);
  the Developer API still omits it.

* 🧩 fix: Round-trip url_context for Google-compatible custom endpoints

Add url_context to openAIBaseSchema so the per-chat value persists for custom
endpoints configured with customParams.defaultParamsEndpoint: 'google', matching
how web_search is already picked there.

* 🚦 fix: Gate url_context tool to Gemini 2.5+ models

Per Google's URL Context supported-models list (2.5+/3.x only), skip the native
urlContext tool on earlier models (debug-log + no-op) instead of sending it and
triggering a provider 400. This also gates the coupled YouTube video-understanding
injection to 2.5+, since it keys off the resolved urlContext tool.

* ✂️ fix: Strip YouTube URLs from urlContext text; keep url_context out of OpenAI schema

- Remove url_context from the shared openAIBaseSchema (revert): it is Google-only
  and would otherwise leak as an unsupported param to OpenAI/Azure/OpenRouter
  requests. On Google-compatible custom endpoints url_context is enabled via admin
  addParams/defaultParams, same as web_search.
- When injecting YouTube video parts, strip the matched YouTube URLs from the prompt
  text so the urlContext tool (which reads URLs from text and cannot fetch YouTube)
  does not consume its URL budget on them. Non-YouTube URLs are left intact.

* 🎯 fix: Refine url_context model gating and YouTube injection edges

Address Codex round 4:
- Exclude non-text modality variants (image/live/tts) from URL Context support,
  mirroring the Google tool-combination modality exclusion.
- Use the resolved run model (model_parameters.model) for YouTube injection limits
  instead of the saved base model.
- Strip only the YouTube links actually routed to video (id-aware); keep over-limit
  links in the text so the model can still reason about them.
- Keep timestamped YouTube links (?t=/&start=) in the text so the moment cue survives.
- Recognize youtube-nocookie.com/embed links.

* 🎚️ fix: Exclude audio Gemini variants + preserve pre-id YouTube timestamps

Address Codex round 5:
- Add `audio` to the url_context modality exclusion so audio-only Gemini variants
  (e.g. gemini-2.5-flash-preview-native-audio-dialog) skip the tool instead of 400ing.
- Detect YouTube timestamps anywhere in the matched URL (incl. before `v=`, e.g.
  watch?t=90&v=<id>), so timestamped links are kept in the prompt text as intended.

🧠 feat: Configurable Reasoning Replay for Custom Endpoints (#13921)
* 🧠 feat: Configurable Reasoning Replay for Custom Endpoints

Adds customParams.includeReasoningContent so OpenAI-compatible custom endpoints (e.g. Xiaomi MiMo, Kimi) can replay reasoning_content on tool-call turns natively, without impersonating the moonshot provider.

* 🔁 feat: Replay reasoning_content across turns for opted-in custom endpoints

Extends the DeepSeek reasoning-content format spoof to honor customParams.includeReasoningContent, so custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints (Xiaomi MiMo, Kimi) reconstruct reasoning_content from persisted history on later turns, matching DeepSeek thinking-mode parity. Adds shouldReplayReasoningContent predicate (tested) and surfaces the flag on the initialized agent.

* 🪢 refactor: Split within-run vs cross-turn reasoning replay flags

moonshot only replays reasoning_content within a run's tool calls, not across turns. Decouples the two: includeReasoningContent = within-run replay (exact moonshot parity), new includeReasoningHistory = cross-turn reconstruction from persisted history (implies includeReasoningContent, since reconstruction is a no-op without the within-run replay flag).

* 🩹 fix: Apply reasoning replay across all param-format branches

Move the within-run includeReasoningContent application out of the OpenAI-only branch in getOpenAIConfig to after the branch dispatch, so custom endpoints using anthropic/google defaultParamsEndpoint gateway modes also honor includeReasoningContent/includeReasoningHistory. Addresses Codex finding.

* chore: Update @librechat/agents to v3.2.46

* 🧽 refactor: De-spoof reasoning replay via explicit preserveReasoningContent

Now that @librechat/agents 3.2.46 exposes an explicit preserveReasoningContent option on formatAgentMessages, pass it directly instead of impersonating provider: deepseek. Behavior is unchanged (shouldReplayReasoningContent still gates DeepSeek + the custom includeReasoningHistory flag); also corrects the comment to reference includeReasoningHistory.

* 🌳 fix: Walk subagents in the reasoning-history replay gate

The gate only checked the primary agent and top-level handoff/parallel configs, so an opted-in custom endpoint used solely as a nested subagent had its persisted reasoning dropped on later turns. New exported anyAgentReplaysReasoningContent walks subagentAgentConfigs (cycle-safe, mirrors anyAgentHasCodeEnv); client.js uses it. Addresses Codex finding.

* 🖇️ feat: Reference Selected Chat Text with Multi-Quote Popup

Add a ChatGPT/Codex-style quote feature: selecting text in any message shows
an 'Add to chat' popup that accumulates removable quote chips above the
composer. On submit, the excerpts are merged into the user message text as
Markdown blockquotes (counted in the user message token count, not a system
message) and persisted on the message so they render on the user bubble and
survive reload.

- packages/api: add getReferencedQuotes + mergeQuotedText helpers (blockquote merge, length/count caps) with unit tests
- BaseClient.sendMessage: temporarily merge req.body.quotes into userMessage.text before buildMessages, restore clean text, persist quotes array
- data-schemas + data-provider: add optional quotes field to message schema/type
- client: pendingQuotesByConvoId atom, QuoteButton selection popup, PendingQuoteChips composer row, MessageQuotes persistent display
- useChatFunctions: drain pending quotes onto the message, carry forward on regenerate
- add localization keys and component/integration tests

* 🧪 test: Add Playwright e2e for chat quote feature

Add e2e/specs/mock/quotes.spec.ts covering select -> 'Add to chat' popup ->
chip -> send -> persistent reference block -> reload, plus multi-select
accumulation and chip removal. Selection is driven programmatically (real DOM
Range + dispatched mouseup) to summon the popup deterministically.

Add data-testid hooks (add-to-chat-button, pending-quote-chips, message-quotes)
to the quote components for stable selectors.

* 🛡️ fix: Address Codex review on quote feature

- Run PII filter + OpenAI moderation over req.body.quotes (P1): quoted excerpts
  are merged into the model-facing user message, so they must clear the same
  filters; a crafted quotes payload could otherwise bypass them. Adds tests.
- Carry quotes through edit/save-and-submit replays (overrideQuotes in
  EditMessage), mirroring overrideManualSkills, so edited turns keep context.
- Hide the quote UI for Assistants endpoints (which bypass BaseClient merge),
  so users can't queue quotes the assistant never receives.
- Clear pending quote/skill queues by resolved conversationId in useClearStates,
  not the UI index, so queued-but-unsent selections don't linger in Recoil.
- Cap queued quotes client-side at 10 to match the backend QUOTE_MAX_COUNT, so
  the composer never shows more quotes than are actually sent.

* 🧵 fix: Durably re-merge quotes + Codex round 2

Address Codex's re-review of the quote feature:

- Durable history re-merge (per maintainer decision): quotes are no longer
  merged at request time and stripped; instead each user message's persisted
  message.quotes is merged into its formatted content in AgentClient.buildMessages
  (new prependQuotes helper) for current AND historical turns. The model
  receives the referenced context on every prompt and the token count stays
  consistent with what was persisted; stored text stays clean for display.
- Attach normalized quotes to the user message in handleStartMethods (before
  getReqData/onStart) so the optimistic bubble, resumable abort metadata, and
  saved row all carry them (fixes the abort-metadata gap).
- Skip the quote drain entirely for Assistants endpoints in useChatFunctions,
  leaving the pending atom intact (UI is already hidden there).
- Normalize req.body.quotes via getReferencedQuotes before moderation/PII so
  only the trimmed/truncated/capped excerpts the model will receive are checked.
- Tests: prependQuotes unit tests; BaseClient quote tests assert early
  attachment + clean text; e2e now verifies the model receives the merged
  blockquote on the current turn and re-merged from history on a later turn
  (new E2E_ASSERT_QUOTE mock marker).

* 🔗 fix: Quote share/memo/abort/PII gaps (Codex round 3)

- Shared links: include quotes in the anonymized projection + SharedMessage
  type (+test) so the /share view renders the same reference blocks as the
  owner, mirroring manualSkills/alwaysAppliedSkills.
- MessageRender memo: compare quotes length so a server/resume copy whose only
  change is the quote list re-renders (the block no longer goes stale/missing).
- Resumable job metadata: include quotes in the userMessage written to
  GenerationJobManager so a reload/reconnect mid-stream reconstructs the chips.
- PII + moderation: also scan the merged blockquote+text exactly as the model
  receives it, so a secret split across a quote and the typed body (each clean
  alone) is caught (+cross-boundary test).
- e2e: make quote-add robust against the auto-scroll-dismisses-selection race
  via a retried select+click helper.

* 🛑 fix: Keep quotes on aborted turn's request message (Codex round 4)

abortMiddleware reconstructs finalEvent.requestMessage from jobData.userMessage
but only copied ids + text; include quotes so a stopped quoted turn keeps its
MessageQuotes in the UI and a regenerate-before-reload still sends the
referenced context. Completes the resumable-metadata fix from the prior round.

* 🧮 fix: Quote recount + preliminary abort metadata (Codex round 5)

- Force a canonical token recount for messages carrying quotes in
  AgentClient.buildMessages, so a plain text-only Save edit (which recomputes
  tokenCount from text alone) can't leave a stale, quote-excluding count that
  undercounts context on later turns — recount from the quote-merged copy
  self-heals it.
- Seed normalized quotes into the preliminary userMessage metadata
  (getPreliminaryUserMessage), so an abort during init/tool-loading (before
  onStart) still reconstructs the stopped turn's MessageQuotes.

*  fix: Add getReferencedQuotes to controller test mocks (CI)

request.js's getPreliminaryUserMessage now calls getReferencedQuotes; the
agents controller specs mock @librechat/api wholesale, so the mock must export
it or the call throws and cascades. Added a faithful mock (normalize/cap,
null when empty) to request.resumeMetadata.spec.js and jobReplacement.spec.js.

* 📐 fix: Quotes in context projection + resumable metadata (Codex round 6)

- Context-usage projection (resolveContextProjection): select message.quotes,
  prepend them into the projected user text, and recount quoted messages so the
  context gauge counts the same prompt the model receives (a text-only Save edit
  no longer makes the gauge undercount / over-report remaining budget).
- Resumable job metadata: trackUserMessage (created-event rewrite) and abortJob
  (final requestMessage) now carry quotes; SerializableJobData.userMessage and
  CreatedEvent.message gained an optional quotes field. With the cross-replica
  created-event spread, stopping/reconnecting a quoted turn after the created
  event keeps its MessageQuotes.

* 💬 feat: Collapse multi-select quotes into one chip with hover popup

Composer feedback: the quote chip area now shows a single chip — the excerpt
text for one selection, or a collapsed "{n} selections" pill for multiple,
with a hover popup (HoverCard) listing every excerpt and a per-item remove. The
chip is taller (py-1.5/text-sm) to read less skinny. Adds com_ui_quote_selections
and com_ui_remove_all_quotes; updates unit + e2e tests (e2e drives the count via
a data-quote-count hook and exercises the hover popup).

*  fix: Make multi-selection quote popup keyboard accessible

The collapsed "{n} selections" pill used a HoverCard, which Radix only opens on
pointer hover — its interactive content was unreachable by keyboard. Replaced it
with a Popover: the trigger is a real button that opens on click / Enter / Space
(focus moves into the list, each excerpt's × is tab-navigable, Escape closes and
restores focus), with hover-open preserved for mouse via controlled open state +
a close grace period. Hover-initiated opens skip auto-focus so they don't pull
focus off the composer. Adds an e2e asserting keyboard open/close.

* 📐 fix: Clamp the Add-to-chat button within the viewport (Codex round 7)

The floating selection button positioned via translate(-50%,-100%) (bottom-center
anchor) but clamped top/left as if they were its top-left, so a selection near
the viewport top or sides could render the button partly/fully offscreen. Now it
measures the button (ref + useLayoutEffect) and computes an on-screen top-left —
clamping by the full width within side margins and flipping below the selection
when there's no room above — with no transform, and stays hidden until measured
so it never flashes at an unclamped spot.

* ↩️ fix: Restore pending quotes on early-abort draft (Codex round 8)

When a turn is stopped before the created event (e.g. during tool/MCP init), the
final handler restores requestMessage.text to the draft, but the pending-quote
atom was already drained on submit — so a retry sent no quotes. The abort
requestMessage now carries quotes (preliminary metadata + abort fixes), so the
three early-abort/no-response draft-restore paths in useEventHandlers now also
re-queue pendingQuotesByConvoId from requestMessage.quotes.

*  fix: Use Ariakit Popover for quote selections (keyboard focus)

The multi-selection popup used a hand-rolled Radix Popover with Popover.Anchor +
a manual button, so Radix had no trigger to return focus to — Escape dumped
focus to the page top. Refactored to Ariakit (the codebase's popover primitive,
per DropdownPopup/Fork): the `PopoverDisclosure` is the real trigger, so Escape
closes and returns focus to the composer instead of the top of the page. Keyboard
opens (Enter/Space) autofocus into the list and tab through each excerpt's remove;
hover opens for mouse with autofocus suppressed so it never pulls focus off the
composer. e2e asserts the keyboard open/navigate/Escape flow keeps focus on a
real control (never BODY).

🪙 fix: Correct Context Usage Gauge After Summarization (#13744)
* 🪙 fix: Persist Context Snapshot + Summary Marker After Summarization

The post-summarization context is correctly compacted by the SDK, but the
breakdown wasn't reliably reaching the client, leaving the gauge on the
whole-history estimate (stuck at 100% forever once a conversation compacts).

Two server changes in buildResponseMetadata:
- Snapshot guard: persist the breakdown when a PRIMARY usage event follows the
  latest snapshot (tracked via contextUsageSink.latestUsageIndex, recorded in
  the on_context_usage handler) instead of a brittle snapshot-vs-primary count.
  A summarization detour adds an extra snapshot whose only following usage is
  tagged 'summarization', which the count guard could miscount and drop.
- Summary marker: whenever a turn compacts (summaryTokens > 0), persist a
  lightweight metadata.summaryUsedTokens (the pre-invoke compacted context size)
  UNCONDITIONALLY — so even when the full snapshot can't be saved (interrupted
  final call) or never reaches the client, the per-message estimate has a signal
  to cap the discarded history.

Tests: client.contextMetadata.spec (guard + marker, incl. marker-survives-drop)
and a real-pipeline summarization integration test.

* 🪙 fix: Cap the Context Estimate at the Summary Marker

When the gauge falls back to the per-message estimate (no usable snapshot on the
branch), sumBranch summed the ENTIRE branch history — after a summarization that
discarded most of it, this over-counts and pins the gauge at 100% in perpetuity.

sumBranch now stops at the deepest summarized response (metadata.summaryUsedTokens)
and records it as summaryBaseline; the walk counts only post-summary messages,
and useTokenUsage adds the baseline. So the estimate reflects the compacted
context (summary + recent turns), not the discarded history. USD/default
behavior unchanged when no marker is present.

Test: sumBranch caps a huge pre-summary history at the compacted baseline.

* 🪙 fix: Address Codex Review on the Summarization Marker

- Branch cost/usage is no longer truncated at the summary marker — sumBranch
  caps only the CONTEXT-window count there and keeps accumulating provider
  usage/cost to the root (cumulative spend isn't discarded by compaction).
- findBranchSnapshotAnchor stops at a summarized response with no snapshot of its
  own, so it can't recover a stale PRE-summary snapshot and show discarded
  history; the summary-baseline estimate is used instead.
- Abort path: buildAbortedResponseMetadata now persists the summaryUsedTokens
  marker (pre-invoke, no completedOutputTokens ambiguity, so safe on abort) so a
  STOPPED summarized turn isn't re-summed on reload.
- Marker baseline fallback now includes summaryTokens (a separate breakdown
  field) so it doesn't under-report the compacted size. DRY'd into a shared
  computeSummaryUsedTokens used by the completion and abort paths.
- Estimate popover surfaces the summary baseline as a row so the displayed rows
  reconcile with the header total.

Tests: sumBranch cost-not-truncated + anchor-stops-at-marker (client);
computeSummaryUsedTokens fallback + abort marker (packages/api).

* 🪙 fix: Attribute Persisted Context Usage to the Snapshot Run

Match the post-snapshot primary usage to the latest snapshot's runId before
persisting metadata.contextUsage. Parallel/direct runs interleave snapshots and
usage (A snapshot → B snapshot → A usage → B no-usage); the prior index-only
guard persisted B's snapshot with A's output. finalCallOutputTokens now filters
completedOutputTokens to the snapshot's run. Untagged events (older lib/resume)
match any run for back-compat.

* 🪙 fix: Harden Summary Marker Against Tool-Loops, Stale Anchors, and Emit Races

Codex round on the summarization marker:

- Avoid double-counting earlier tool-loop outputs in the summary marker: those
  outputs sit in BOTH the latest snapshot's pre-invoke baseline AND the response
  message's tokenCount the client estimate adds on top. computeSummaryUsedTokens
  now subtracts the run's prior primary outputs (priorRunOutputTokens) — the live
  path bounds them by the snapshot's usage index, the abort path by all primaries
  (an interrupted final call emits none). Single-call turns subtract 0.
- Stop treating pre-summary anchors as active: sumBranch no longer sets
  containsAnchor once the context is capped at a summary marker, so a stale
  pre-summary snapshot can't override the summary-baseline estimate.
- Capture latestUsageIndex BEFORE awaiting emitEvent: a yield (resumable SSE /
  Redis) during parallel runs could let this call's own usage advance the index
  past the event that proves the snapshot completed, dropping a valid breakdown.

* 🪙 fix: Subtract Summarization Output from the Summary Marker

recordCollectedUsage folds the summarization call's completion into the response
message's tokenCount, while the generated summary is also in the snapshot baseline
as summaryTokens. The client estimate (summaryBaseline + responseTokenCount) thus
counted the summary twice — inflating the gauge after compaction even on a
single-call turn whenever the full snapshot is unavailable. priorRunOutputTokens
now also counts summarization-tagged output (still excluding subagent/sequential,
which recordCollectedUsage keeps out of the reported total), so the marker
subtracts it. Updated unit + guard tests.

* 🪙 fix: Refine Marker Subtraction for Summarization RunId and Abort Boundary

Two Codex follow-ups on the marker-subtraction logic:

- Subtract summarization output regardless of runId: the summarize detour is its
  own model-end call that may carry a distinct runId, but its output still lands
  in this response's tokenCount AND the snapshot baseline (summaryTokens). It is
  now counted unconditionally (still within the response's own usageEmitSink),
  while primaries keep the parallel-run runId filter.
- Don't subtract primaries on the abort path: the job stores no snapshot/usage
  boundary, so a primary that completed AFTER the latest snapshot is NOT in the
  baseline; subtracting it would cancel real output and under-report. priorRun-
  OutputTokens gains an includePrimary flag (false for abort) — abort subtracts
  only the always-pre-snapshot summarization output.

* 🪙 fix: Run-Scope Summary Subtraction and Stop Subtracting on Abort

Two Codex follow-ups, resolved by reverting the round-4 detour:

- Run-scope the summarization subtraction: the summarize detour inherits the
  graph run id (traceConfig spreads config.metadata.run_id), so its usage shares
  the answer snapshot's runId — it is NOT a distinct run. priorRunOutputTokens now
  filters summarization by runId like primaries, so a parallel sibling run's
  summary (different runId, in the sibling's baseline) is no longer subtracted from
  this branch's marker. Drops the includePrimary flag added last round.
- Stop subtracting on the abort path: abort tokenCount is countTokens(text)
  (abortMiddleware) or absent (agents route) — it does not fold in summarization or
  earlier-call output the way recordCollectedUsage does, so the marker must keep
  the full baseline. buildAbortedResponseMetadata now subtracts nothing.

📨 feat: Custom Headers on Built-in Provider Endpoints (#13742)
* 📨 feat: Custom Headers on Built-in Provider Endpoints

Add a `headers` config option to the built-in `openAI`, `anthropic`, and
`google` endpoints (incl. Anthropic/Google Vertex), mirroring the custom
endpoint header mechanism. Values support the same placeholder resolution
(env vars, `{{LIBRECHAT_USER_*}}`, `{{LIBRECHAT_BODY_CONVERSATIONID}}`) and
are resolved at request time so dynamic values like conversationId resolve
against the live request — without losing provider-native request shaping.

Closes #13082. Covers #13713: forwarding conversationId to a reverse proxy
is now `X-Conversation-Id: '{{LIBRECHAT_BODY_CONVERSATIONID}}'` — an unknown
header is ignored by the native Anthropic API, so no 400 and no metadata
gating needed.

- Schema: `headers` on `baseEndpointSchema` (openAI/google/anthropic/all).
- New `mergeHeaders`/`resolveConfigHeaders` utils centralize the per-provider
  header locations (`configuration.defaultHeaders`, Anthropic
  `clientOptions.defaultHeaders`, Google `customHeaders`); provider-managed
  headers (auth, `anthropic-beta`) always win on collision.
- Each initializer threads configured headers (endpoint over `all`) into the
  right place; request-time resolution runs across all locations in the main
  and title flows.

* 🩹 fix: Cast endpoints.all to TEndpoint for headers DeepPartial widening

Adding `headers` (a Record) to `baseEndpointSchema` makes `DeepPartial<TCustomConfig>`
widen its value type to `string | undefined`, which is not assignable to the
concrete `TEndpoint['headers']: Record<string, string>` at the `loadedEndpoints.all`
assignment. Cast at the assignment site, mirroring the existing
`anthropicConfig as TAnthropicEndpoint` cast in the same function.

* 🛡️ fix: Harden built-in endpoint custom headers (Codex review)

Address Codex P2 findings on the custom-headers feature:

- Anthropic title requests: `omitTitleOptions` strips the `clientOptions`
  carrier, which dropped its `defaultHeaders`. Preserve just the header carrier
  so gateway/reverse-proxy metadata still reaches title generation.
- mergeHeaders: match header names case-insensitively so an override (e.g. a
  provider-managed `Authorization`/`anthropic-beta`) replaces/uniones a
  case-variant from the base instead of emitting two names a client may collapse.
- OpenAI: withhold admin-configured headers when the user supplies the base URL
  (`user_provided`), since values may carry `${SECRET}`/token placeholders that
  must not reach a user-controlled endpoint — mirrors the custom-endpoint guard.
- Azure: honor global `endpoints.all` headers (same OpenAI carrier) while keeping
  Azure-managed `api-key`/version headers authoritative.

Adds tests for each.

* 🔐 fix: Resolve-once + provider-managed header safety (Codex review round 2)

Address Codex P2 findings:

- Azure: keep global `endpoints.all` headers unresolved at init and let
  request-time `resolveConfigHeaders` resolve them once, avoiding a
  second-order env expansion of already-substituted user values.
- Google: `resolveConfigHeaders` no longer template-resolves the
  provider-managed `Authorization` header (built from a possibly user-provided
  key), so a user key like `${ENV}` can't leak server environment values.
- Model fetches: thread configured headers (endpoint over `all`) + user object
  through `getOpenAIModels`/`getAnthropicModels` → `fetchModels`, so a
  gateway-fronted built-in provider receives the header on `/models` too. Fixed
  `fetchModels` to merge custom headers for Anthropic instead of overwriting
  them (managed `x-api-key`/version still win).

Adds/updates tests for each.

* 🧯 fix: Header provenance, memory/title coverage, idempotency (Codex round 3)

Address Codex P2 findings, including two regressions from the prior round:

- Google auth (findings 6 & 8): move native Google header resolution to init
  (`initializeGoogle`), resolving admin templates BEFORE the key-derived auth
  header is built. resolveConfigHeaders no longer touches Google `customHeaders`,
  so admin `Authorization` templates resolve again (fixes the round-2 regression)
  while the SDK auth header (possibly a user-provided key) is never env-expanded.
- Memory runs: memory extraction now calls `resolveConfigHeaders`, so native
  Anthropic (and OpenAI) headers resolve for memory requests too.
- Vertex titles: restore the ORIGINAL `clientOptions` object reference (not a
  copy) when preserving headers across `omitTitleOptions`, so the Vertex
  `createClient` closure and the resolved headers stay on the same object.
- Reuse: `resolveConfigHeaders` is now idempotent (resolve-once per header map),
  preventing a second pass from env-expanding values already substituted with
  user/body data when an agent object flows through buildAgentInput twice.

Adds/updates tests for each.

💸 feat: Per-Agent Endpoint Token Config in Multi-Endpoint Billing (#13738)
* 💸 feat: Per-Agent Endpoint Token Config in Multi-Endpoint Billing

Price each collected/emitted usage item with the producing agent's resolved
endpoint token config, instead of the primary agent's for the whole graph.

Previously AgentClient.recordCollectedUsage and the subagent usage emitter used
a single this.options.endpointTokenConfig (the primary's) for every usage item.
A connected agent or subagent on a different custom endpoint that shares a model
id with an entry in the primary's tokenConfig was therefore mis-priced (a model
absent from it already fell back to the built-in rate map — no regression).

- Tag each usage with its producing agent: ModelEndHandler stamps
  usage.agentId = agentContext.agentId; createSubagentUsageSink stamps the
  child's subagentAgentId (UsageMetadata gains an optional agentId).
- buildAgentToolContext retains endpointTokenConfig so initialize.js can build
  an agentId -> endpointTokenConfig map from agentToolContexts (the one map that
  holds every agent, including pure subagents pruned from agentConfigs).
- AgentClient.resolveAgentEndpointTokenConfig(usage) looks up that map by
  agentId, falling back to the primary config; used by both the billing path
  (new optional resolveEndpointTokenConfig on recordCollectedUsage) and the
  subagent cost emitter.
- recordCollectedUsage's resolver is optional and falls back to the batch
  endpointTokenConfig, so the shared responses.js/openai.js call sites are
  unchanged.
- Tests: two-endpoint graph with a colliding model id prices per-agent; resolver
  nullish falls back to batch; subagent sink tags the child agent id.

* fix: Align emit-path cost with per-agent billing; honor known-agent built-in pricing

Addresses Codex review on the per-agent endpoint token config:
- Emit path (callbacks.js) now prices each on_token_usage event with the
  producing agent's config (resolved via usageCost.resolveEndpointTokenConfig),
  so streamed/persisted metadata.usage.cost matches the per-agent balance
  transaction. The agentId tag is resolved server-side and stripped from the
  emitted/persisted payload.
- Resolver (resolveAgentTokenConfig) now treats a known agent's config as
  authoritative, including undefined → built-in pricing, so a known non-custom
  agent in a custom-primary graph is no longer charged the primary's rates.
  Only untagged/unknown usage falls back to the primary config.
- endpointTokenConfigByAgentId records every known agent (value may be
  undefined) so the resolver distinguishes known-no-rates from unknown.

💾 feat: Persist Context Breakdown & Branch/Total Usage Cost (#13734)
* 💾 feat: Persist Context Breakdown & Branch/Total Usage Cost

Persist the granular context breakdown and per-response usage/cost on the
response message metadata, and re-derive branch + total usage/cost from a
per-message index so the popover survives reloads and is branch-aware live.

- Add aggregateEmittedUsage + buildPersistedContextUsage helpers in
  packages/api; capture the latest visible snapshot and every emitted
  on_token_usage payload via contextUsageSink/usageEmitSink.
- Attach metadata.contextUsage (Part A) and metadata.usage (Part B) on the
  agents response message in sendCompletion.
- Carry per-message usage on the token index; add sumTotalUsage/setEntryUsage
  and branch-scoped usage on sumBranch.
- Repurpose the session accumulator into a single in-flight pending holder;
  flush it into the index at finalize; hydrate breakdowns on load.
- Render branch cost with a conditional all-branches total in the breakdown.

* 🧹 chore: Remove orphaned com_ui_session_cost i18n key

* 🩹 fix: Address Codex review — normalize usage server-side, fix reload deltas

- Persist per-event-normalized display units in metadata.usage (TResponseUsage)
  so reloaded mixed-provider turns match the live session; client reads them
  directly instead of re-normalizing with a single stamped provider (P2).
- Persist completedOutputTokens (final call output) on metadata.contextUsage so
  a reloaded multi-call turn adds the post-snapshot delta, not the full
  tokenCount the snapshot already counts (P2).
- buildIndex preserves a prior entry's immutable usage when a rebuilt cache
  message lacks metadata.usage, so a mid-session rebuild (regenerate) keeps a
  sibling branch's flushed cost (fixes the e2e regenerate failure).
- Track costKnown so turns saved with contextCost off don't render $0.00 when
  cost display is later enabled (P3).
- Use an epsilon for the all-branches cost comparison to avoid a spurious total
  row from float summation order (P3).
- Update unit/integration/e2e tests for the new shapes; regenerate e2e asserts
  the all-branches total after reload (deterministic via persisted metadata).

* 🩹 fix: Address Codex round 2 — pending leak, cost coverage, reload delta

- Clear the in-flight pending usage on terminal abort/error (resetLive), so a
  stopped generation's tokens no longer merge into the next response (P2).
- costKnown now means COMPLETE coverage (ANDed): a branch mixing cost-bearing
  and cost-less turns is flagged incomplete and the cost row is hidden rather
  than rendering an under-reported total (P2).
- Drop the tokenCount fallback for completedOutputTokens on reload: only the
  persisted post-snapshot delta is used, so a multi-call turn whose provider
  emitted no usage_metadata no longer double-counts earlier output (P2).
- Update tokens.spec for AND coverage semantics + incomplete-cost case.

* 🩹 fix: Address Codex round 3 — no-usage snapshots, total coverage, provider-less cache

- Skip persisting metadata.contextUsage when the response emitted no primary
  usage event: without a known post-snapshot output the granular gauge would
  undercount the reply on reload, so fall back to the coarse per-message
  estimate instead (P2).
- Gate the all-branches cost row on totalUsage.costKnown so an incomplete total
  (a sibling saved without cost) never renders an under-reported figure (P2).
- aggregateEmittedUsage/finalCallOutputTokens now normalize per-event with the
  client's magnitude fallback (normalizeEventUnits) instead of billing
  splitUsage, so provider-less cached events match live on reload (P2).
- Add backend test for the provider-less cached case.

* 🩹 fix: Address Codex round 4 — abort attribution, complete cost coverage

- aggregateEmittedUsage persists cost only when EVERY call was priced; a partial
  pricing failure now omits cost so the client treats coverage as unknown rather
  than reading an under-reported sum as authoritative (P2).
- finalizeUsage flushes pending into the response entry only when events were
  folded this session (eventCount > 0), so a late/second resumable subscriber
  carrying persisted metadata.usage keeps it instead of being overwritten with
  an empty pending record (P2).
- On user stop, attribute the in-flight pending usage to the partial response
  (new attributePending handler) instead of discarding it in resetLive — the
  stopped reply's billed tokens are kept and still can't leak into the next
  response; resetLive's discard remains for the error path (P2).

* 🐛 fix: Persist branch cost across branch switches via sticky usage history

Branch cost vanished on switching to a sibling branch (until a new turn) — the
cost analog of the granularity bug. buildIndex rebuilds the token index from the
messages cache; a sibling generated this session whose cache message lacks
metadata.usage (and is transiently dropped from the cache during regenerate)
lost its live-flushed usage, so sumBranch found none and the cost row hid.

Fix: a sticky per-response usage map (conversationId → messageId → usage),
written by setEntryUsage and never rebuilt from the cache — the usage counterpart
of snapshotsByAnchorFamily for the breakdown. buildIndex/upsertEntries restore an
entry's usage from it when the message carries none; cleared on convo switch and
migrated with the index. Add unit coverage for the drop-then-readd regression and
an e2e assertion that branch cost survives a branch switch.

* 🐛 fix: Re-index on branch switch so branch cost survives the switch

The sticky usage history alone didn't fix the reported branch-switch cost drop:
on a branch switch no cache `updated` event fires, so the index subscriber never
re-ran, and the post-regenerate rebuild was skipped while `isSubmitting` was
still true — leaving the index stale and missing the now-viewed branch's
response entirely (sticky can only restore entries present in a rebuild).

Re-index from the messages cache on every tail change (created/finalize AND
branch switch), not just while submitting. The cache holds the full message set
at switch time, so the viewed branch's response is re-added and its usage
restored from metadata.usage or the sticky history → sumBranch finds it and the
branch cost renders. Verified locally: the branch-switch e2e now passes (the
cost section shows both the branch row and the all-branches total). Also fixed
that e2e assertion to target a single cost value (strict-mode safe).

* 🩹 fix: Handle stopped-stream usage — reset pending + persist abort metadata

Codex round (stop/abort edges):
- Resumable explicit-stop (intentional SSE close) reset UI state but never
  cleared pendingUsageFamily, so usage folded before the stop leaked into the
  next response in the conversation. Discard pending on intentional close
  (resetLive); a resume re-folds via backfillUsage, so nothing is lost.
- The abort save path (abortMiddleware) persisted the stopped response without
  metadata.usage/contextUsage, so its cost + breakdown vanished on reload.
  Rebuild both from the job's persisted tokenUsage (emitted payloads incl. cost)
  and contextUsage snapshot — parity with the normal sendCompletion path;
  breakdown gated on a primary usage event like buildResponseMetadata.

Deferred (per scope decision): mid-stream branch-switch transiently shows the
streaming branch's pending on the viewed sibling (cosmetic, until finalize).

* 🩹 fix: Persist abort metadata on the real agents route + tighten snapshot gate

Codex round (corrects last round's wrong-path fixes):
- Stopped AGENTS responses are saved by routes/agents/index.js (/chat/abort),
  not abortMiddleware — so last round's metadata fix never ran for them. Moved
  the rollup/snapshot builder into packages/api as buildAbortedResponseMetadata
  (shared, unit-tested) and applied it in BOTH abort save paths, so a stopped
  agent reply keeps its cost + breakdown on reload.
- Persist the breakdown only when the FINAL visible call emitted usage: track a
  per-response snapshot count and require primaryUsageCount >= snapshotCount.
  Previously any earlier primary usage event passed the gate, so a multi-call
  turn whose final call emitted no usage_metadata used an earlier call's output
  as completedOutputTokens (already counted by the latest snapshot) → reload
  over-reported. Now it falls back to the coarse estimate.

Resumable stop pending-reset (prior round, 3cde6fe035) already flows through
clearAllSubmissions → SSE close → the intentional-close handler's resetLive.
Deferred per scope: mid-stream branch-switch pending attribution (tracked).

* 🩹 fix: Abort breakdown over-count + resume re-fold after pending discard

Codex round (on the re-applied abort/snapshot work):
- buildAbortedResponseMetadata now persists ONLY the usage/cost rollup, not the
  context breakdown. The abort path can't tell whether the final call emitted
  usage (the job stores only the latest snapshot, not a count), so persisting
  the breakdown risked reusing an earlier call's output as completedOutputTokens
  (already in the snapshot) → reload over-count. Stopped/incomplete responses
  now fall back to the coarse gauge estimate, which is safe and apt.
- resetLive now also forgets the conversation's folded usage-event identities
  (clearUsageFolded). Discarding pending on a terminal/intentional close left
  the folded keys set, so a later resume's backfillUsage saw the persisted
  events as duplicates and never rebuilt pending — leaving the response's usage
  missing until a full reload. Clearing them lets the resume re-fold.

* 🪙 fix: Keep Tagged Usage Buckets Out of the Live Context Estimate

* 🩹 fix: Scoped Token-Config Fallback and Sequential Visibility for Usage Events

* 🩹 fix: Address Usage Review Findings — Cost Timing, Scoped Caches, Finalized Output

- carry the post-snapshot output estimate into the context snapshot at
  finalize so the gauge keeps the last response after live resets
- accumulate per-rate billable units and price the session cost at
  render, so usage events arriving before the token-config load still
  count once it resolves
- pass user-scoped token-config cache keys through loadConfigModels
  fetches and drop the controller's unscoped fallback to prevent serving
  another user's resolved config
- tag emitted usage events with a per-run seq so resume dedupe never
  drops a distinct call with an identical payload
- admit the static tokenConfig override in the custom endpoint schema so
  it survives zod parsing into req.config

* 🩹 fix: Align Client Usage Accounting with Backend Cost Semantics

- classify cache tokens by provider (shared inputTokensIncludesCache from
  data-provider, consumed by both the backend billing path and the client)
  instead of a magnitude heuristic, so Anthropic/Bedrock turns where cache
  is smaller than uncached input no longer under-bill input
- mirror resolveCompletionTokens on the client so Vertex-style hidden
  thinking tokens are reflected in the Output row and session cost
- prefer endpoint pricing over adapter-provider pricing so a custom
  endpoint can price a known model name without built-in rates shadowing it
- carry static cacheRead/cacheWrite overrides through the tokenConfig
  schema and buildTokenConfigMap

* 🩹 fix: Honor Static Token Config in Billing; Tighten Usage Freshness

- initializeCustom now uses a static endpoint tokenConfig as the agent's
  endpointTokenConfig (billing + balance checks), not just the advertised
  UI config — previously the gauge showed admin rates while the agent
  billed against built-in tables
- invalidate the token-config query alongside models on user-key add/
  revoke so context windows and pricing refresh without a reload
- include maxContextTokens in ChatForm's stabilized conversation memo so
  the gauge reflects a changed context-window setting immediately
- feed the live output estimate from the legacy content path (direct and
  assistants streams), setting from cumulative part text rather than
  accumulating deltas

* 🩹 fix: Resume Usage Dedup, Agent Pricing, and Partial Override Billing

- fold usage events idempotently by (runId, seq) so resume backfill no
  longer resets the conversation totals — a mid-stream reconnect keeps the
  usage of prompts already completed earlier in the session
- tap replayed pending message/reasoning/content events so output streamed
  past the resume snapshot reaches the live estimate, not just the message
- resolve cost against the agent's backing endpoint (Agents conversations
  report endpoint `agents` / provider `openAI`, neither of which keys a
  custom endpoint's tokenConfig)
- getMultiplier/getCacheMultiplier fall back to the standard tables for
  models absent from a partial endpointTokenConfig, so a partial static
  override no longer bills non-listed models at defaultRate while the UI
  shows the correct pattern rate

* 🩹 fix: Repaired Output in Gauge, Cache-Rate Keys, Config Gate, Usage Cleanup

- live/completed gauge counts the repaired completion (normalized output),
  so under-reporting providers don't drop the response from used context
- translate static tokenConfig cacheWrite/cacheRead onto the write/read
  keys getCacheMultiplier reads, so cache tokens bill at the configured
  rate instead of the prompt-rate fallback
- clear the token index and usage atoms when leaving a conversation, so
  visited histories don't accumulate in memory for the tab's lifetime
- wait for startupConfig before mounting the gauge, so a deployment with
  contextUsage disabled never briefly mounts it or fires the token-config
  query on first load

* 🩹 fix: Move Token-Config Resolution to TS; Key Live Usage by Created Convo

- extract the token-config resolution (override gathering + cache lookup +
  buildTokenConfigMap) into resolveTokenConfigMap in packages/api, leaving
  the /api controller a thin request-scoped wrapper (CLAUDE.md TS rule)
- getConvoKey prefers the user message's real conversationId once the
  `created` event stamps it, so a new chat's first-response live gauge and
  totals land under the id TokenUsage subscribes to instead of NEW_CONVO

* 🩹 fix: Clear Stale Redis Job Usage; Live-Tap Legacy Streams; Share Fetched Config

- DEL the Redis job hash before re-creating it so a reused streamId can't
  inherit a prior run's contextUsage/tokenUsage and backfill stale usage
- tap the legacy {message,text} stream branch (non-agent OpenAI/Anthropic
  streams) into the live estimate, not just the content path
- copy a deduped fetch's token config to every sibling endpoint sharing the
  baseURL/key/headers, so /token-config resolves each by its own name

*  revert: Don't DEL Redis job hash in createJob (breaks cross-replica resume)

createJob is an idempotent join — a second replica calls it for the same
streamId to share an in-flight stream's state. DELeting the hash wiped the
prior replica's persisted created/usage state, so a joining replica missed
the created event (GenerationJobManager cross-replica integration test).
Reverts the F1 change from 2bfce0c34b; the stale-usage concern doesn't
arise in practice (streamId is unique per generation).

* 🩹 fix: Best-Effort Usage Emit; Tag Hidden Sequential-Agent Usage

- wrap the ModelEndHandler usage emit in try/catch so a failed telemetry
  delivery (closed SSE / Redis publish error) can't abort the handler
  before thought-signature capture, which would break resumed tool calls
- tag hidden sequential-agent usage as 'sequential' (non-primary) so the
  client folds it into session cost/totals but not the live context gauge,
  instead of letting an undefined usage_type inflate the visible gauge

* 🩹 fix: Refetch Stale Token Config on Mount; Normalize Vertex for Lookup

- useTokenConfigQuery refetches on mount when stale, so a user-key change
  that invalidates tokenConfig while the gauge is unmounted takes effect on
  return instead of serving the prior key's resolved config
- normalize a Vertex-backed agent's provider (vertexai) to the google
  token-config key, so Gemini context windows and rates resolve instead of
  showing unknown context / $0 cost

*  feat: Server-Side Per-Event Cost (Authoritative Pricing for the Gauge)

Move usage-cost pricing to the single source of truth. The backend prices
each model call with the same billing functions (premium tiers via
getMultiplier(inputTokenCount), cache rates) and emits the USD cost on
on_token_usage when interface.contextCost is enabled; the client sums
emitted costs instead of re-deriving from base token-config rates.

- computeUsageCostUSD reuses prepareTokenSpend/prepareStructuredTokenSpend
  so the emitted cost matches what is billed (incl. premium thresholds)
- getDefaultHandlers gains a usageCost pricing context; initialize.js wires
  db.getMultiplier/getCacheMultiplier gated on contextCost (agents path)
- client UsageTotals carries a summed costUSD; retire the client-side rate
  lookups (costFromUnits/calcUsageCost) that drifted from backend pricing
  and produced the provider-keying / cache-key / Vertex / premium findings
- keep normalizeUsageUnits for the displayed token counts; token-config is
  still used for the context-window meter

Fixes the premium-tier session-cost under-report (gpt-5.x / gemini-3.1
above their input thresholds).

* 🩹 fix: Branch-Accurate Usage Snapshot + Clearer Gauge Track Contrast

- re-anchor the context snapshot from the user message to the response
  message at finalize. Regenerating a response branches off a shared user
  message, so anchoring on it made the snapshot read as "active" on both
  branches — switching to the sibling branch showed the wrong (other
  branch's) context. The response message is branch-unique, so sibling
  branches now correctly fall back to their own per-branch totals.
- raise the gauge ring's track/fill contrast (muted track, prominent fill)
  so the used portion reads clearly as a fill-level indicator

* 🩹 fix: Tag Sequential Usage in Billing; Emit Subagent Cost; Reset Live on Resume Errors

- tag hidden sequential-agent usage `usage_type: 'sequential'` on the
  COLLECTED usage (not just the emit), and treat it as non-primary in
  recordCollectedUsage (billed, excluded from the reported output total) so
  hidden intermediate output stops inflating the parent's tokenCount/pruning
- emit on_token_usage from the subagent usage sink (tagged `subagent`, with
  authoritative cost when contextCost is on) so the gauge's session
  cost/totals include billed subagent usage; it stays out of the live meter
- call resetLive on the resumable 404 and max-retry terminal branches so the
  gauge doesn't keep counting stale in-flight tokens after the stream ends

* 🎨 fix: Contrast the Popup Context Bar; Revert Ring Restyle

- raise the popup breakdown's context progressbar contrast (muted
  surface-tertiary track, prominent text-primary fill) — that's the bar the
  contrast feedback was about
- revert the gauge ring restyle (kept its original border-heavy track /
  text-secondary fill); the ring wasn't the element in question

* 🩹 fix: Stop Snapshot Granularity Leaking Across Branches; Revert Tree Memo

- a null-anchor context snapshot was treated as active on every branch,
  leaking one generation's granular breakdown onto sibling branches. Require
  a non-null (response-message) anchor on the viewed branch instead, so
  siblings without a matching snapshot fall back to their own totals.
- revert the buildTree WeakMap memo in messages.ts. buildTree is pure (builds
  from shallow copies) so the memo was behaviorally identical, but it was the
  feature's only change to core branch-navigation selectors — removing it
  matches upstream and rules it out of branch-navigation debugging.

* 🪙 fix: Thread Endpoint Token Config to Agent Billing, Cost, and Context Limits

Custom-endpoint agents resolve an endpointTokenConfig during agent init but
it never reached the AgentClient, so spending, emitted cost, and runtime
max-token resolution all fell back to default rates for those agents.

- Surface options.endpointTokenConfig on the returned InitializedAgent.
- Pass it to the AgentClient (this.options.endpointTokenConfig) so the
  spending path bills at configured rates.
- Thread it through usageCost to computeUsageCostUSD so emitted per-event
  cost matches billing.
- getModelMaxTokens/getModelMaxOutputTokens fall back to the built-in map
  for models absent from a partial override (matches buildTokenConfigMap);
  consolidates the duplicated fallback in pricing.ts.

* 🪙 fix: Preserve Granular Breakdown Across Branch Switches

The granular context breakdown lives only in the live on_context_usage
snapshot — a single per-conversation slot, anchored to the latest response
and overwritten by each generation. Switching to a branch generated earlier
this session lost its tool/skill/system rows and fell back to coarse totals.

Retain each generation's finalized snapshot in a per-conversation map keyed
by its branch-unique response id (snapshotsByAnchorFamily). When the live
snapshot is off the viewed branch, walk the branch tail for its deepest
stored anchor and render that breakdown. Bounded by generation count and
cleared on conversation switch; the live/just-generated path is unchanged.

* 🪙 fix: Harden Resume Seeding and Subagent Usage Emission

- useResumableSSE: skip the trailing-output live seed when the resume
  carries a context snapshot; the snapshot's messageTokens already counts
  produced output, so seeding it again inflated usage until the next reset.
- AgentClient subagent emitter: await GenerationJobManager.emitChunk like
  every other caller (it persists before publishing), so a floating promise
  can't race job cleanup and a Redis/publish failure is caught by the
  emitter's try/catch instead of surfacing as an unhandled rejection.

* 🧪 test: Playwright Coverage for Context Breakdown Granularity

Add a test-only data-testid distinguishing the granular snapshot breakdown
(context-breakdown) from the coarse message-history estimate
(context-estimate), then assert granularity in the mock e2e harness:

- renders the granular breakdown from the live on_context_usage snapshot
  (guards that the snapshot event actually reaches the popover, not just the
  usage totals).
- preserves the granular breakdown after switching branches — regenerate to
  overwrite the single live snapshot, switch back, and confirm the rows
  survive via the per-anchor snapshot history map.

Branch regenerate/sibling selectors mirror the existing chat.spec branch test.
All three usage specs pass against the mock pipeline.

* 🪙 fix: Correct Resume Live-Seed, Fallback Re-index, and Subagent Emit Flush

Codex round on the prior commit:

- countTrailingOutputChars now counts only output at the very END of the
  aggregated content (0 when the model paused at a tool call), and the resume
  path always seeds it. The earlier skip-trailing-tool-parts behavior plus the
  skip-seed-when-snapshot gate together over- or under-counted in-flight
  output on resume; one rule fixes both — pre-invoke snapshot budget is never
  double-counted, and genuine in-flight output is no longer dropped.
- useTokenUsage re-indexes from the messages cache on tail change while
  submitting. The cache subscriber is muted during streaming, so without a
  context snapshot (non-agent streams) sumBranch missed the created tail and
  dropped history + prompt until finalize. Bounded — tailId only shifts on
  created/finalize/branch-switch.
- AgentClient tracks subagent usage emit promises and flushes them in
  chatCompletion's finally. The sink fires the emitter without awaiting, and
  resume reads the usage emitChunk persists (HSET), so cleanup must not race
  it or resumed clients miss billed subagent usage.

✂️ fix: Deduplicate Skill Bodies Across Fresh Primes and History (#13610)
When a skill is primed fresh this turn (manual $-popover or always-apply) AND
also appears in history as a `skill` tool_call, its SKILL.md body was injected
twice — once by injectSkillPrimes and once reconstructed by formatAgentMessages.

- add `collectFreshSkillPrimeNames` helper (packages/api) — union of manual +
  always-apply prime names
- client.js: pass the set as `skipSkillBodyNames` to formatAgentMessages for
  both the initialMessages and memoryMessages paths so the body reconstructs
  once. Names not primed this turn still reconstruct (sticky manual re-prime).

Requires `@librechat/agents` with `skipSkillBodyNames` support; the published
dist silently ignores the unknown option until upgraded.

* fix: refine project sidebar and creation UX

* fix: export chat project method types

* fix: polish project landing context

* fix: refine project navigation affordances

* feat: rework projects UX — coexisting sidebar sections + URL-driven scope

Sidebar
- Replace the chronological/by-project mode toggle with coexisting
  Projects + Chats sections (both always visible)
- Remove ProjectConversations (927 lines), the org-mode Header, and types
- Add ProjectsSection: collapsible project rows that unfurl chats inline
  (full-size rows), with per-project new chat and an open/rename/delete menu
- Lift the marketplace/favorites shortcuts above the Projects section

Chat scope
- Derive a new chat's project strictly from the URL ?projectId, so the
  global New Chat no longer stays stuck in a project after a project chat

Surfaces
- Chat landing: subtle, clickable project chip instead of the floating badge
- Project workspace: modest header, composer-style entry, chats list
- All-projects grid: Claude-style cards with pluralized chat counts

* chore: prune unused i18n keys; fix project chat-count pluralization

* fix: project new-chat keeps model spec; sidebar header + row polish

- newConversation: ignore a chatProjectId-only template when deciding to
  apply the default model spec, so starting a chat in a project no longer
  strips the conversation `spec`
- useSelectMention: the Model Selector and @ command now retain the active
  project across endpoint/spec/preset switches; other new-chat paths still
  clear it
- Chats header now matches the Projects header (inline chevron + a new-chat
  icon button) and starts a non-project chat
- Project rows: use the new-chat icon for the per-project add button, render
  at text-sm to match the chat list, and align the row actions + hover color
  with conversation rows

* fix: read project scope from router params; align sidebar header icons

- useSelectMention now reads the active project from React Router's search
  params instead of window.location, which can drift out of sync because
  new-chat params are written to the URL via raw history.pushState; the
  Model Selector and @ command now reliably keep the project on switch
- Move the Chats section header out of the virtualized list so it renders
  in the same context as the Projects header and isn't shifted by the
  list scrollbar
- Inset header action icons (pr-2) so Projects/Chats header icons line up
  with the project-row and conversation-row trailing actions
- Extract getRouteChatProjectId into utils for the submit path

* fix: preserve chatProjectId through the new-chat template reduction

The param-endpoint guard in newConversation reduced a new chat's template to
{ endpoint } only, dropping the chatProjectId injected by the Model Selector /
@ switch — so switching models cleared the project scope. Keep chatProjectId
in the reduced template.

* style: align chat-history panel top padding; improve projects page contrast

- Add pt-2 to the chat-history panel so its top spacing matches the other
  side panels (agent builder, skills, files, etc.)
- Projects grid + workspace now use the darkest surface for the page
  (surface-primary) with cards, inputs, and the composer one step lighter
  (surface-secondary) and tertiary on hover, so cards read as elevated
  rather than darker than the background

* feat: interactive project landing chip + gallery icon for all-projects

- All-projects sidebar button uses the gallery-vertical-end icon
- The project landing chip is now interactive: click it to switch projects
  via a searchable combobox (ControlCombobox), or the trailing × to drop the
  project scope. Both update the draft conversation and the ?projectId search
  param in place, so the typed message and selected model are preserved

* test: fix Conversations unit test for refactored sidebar; add projects e2e

- Update Conversations.test.tsx mocks for the inline Chats header
  (useNewConvo, useQueryClient, conversation atom, NewChatIcon, TooltipAnchor),
  drop the removed chatsHeaderControls prop, and remove the mock for the
  deleted ../Header module — fixes the failing frontend Jest job
- Add e2e/specs/mock/projects.spec.ts covering project creation, the
  project-scoped new-chat landing + interactive chip (switch/remove), and
  listing projects on /projects
- Give the landing chip combobox a stable selectId for reliable targeting

* fix: refresh project stats after project-chat activity; stabilize e2e

- useEventHandlers: when a project chat is created/updated, invalidate the
  live [projects] query (gated on chatProjectId) instead of the now-unused
  projectConversations key, so the sidebar + all-projects stats refresh
  after a streamed reply (addresses a Codex finding)
- projects e2e: assert the reliable project-landing behavior (chip, scoped
  composer, accepted send) rather than the /c/:id transition, which the
  mock LLM harness doesn't complete

* test: verify a project chat saves and is filed under its project (e2e)

- Switch to a mock endpoint before sending so the message streams without a
  real API key (the default model failed with "No key found", so no chat was
  saved and the page never left /c/new); this also asserts the project chip
  survives the model switch
- Restore the reply + /c/:id transition assertions and add a check that the
  chat is listed under the expanded project in the sidebar
- Add data-testid="project-chats-<id>" to the inline project chat list

* fix: address Codex review findings (project scope edge cases)

- useSelectMention: fall back to the conversation's chatProjectId when the
  URL has no projectId, so switching model/spec inside an existing project
  chat (/c/:id) keeps the project assignment
- Conversations: include chatProjectId in the MemoizedConvo comparator so a
  sidebar row's project menu doesn't stay stale after a reassignment
- useDeleteProjectMutation: clear the active conversation's chatProjectId
  when its project is deleted (mirrors the assignment mutation); drop the
  now-dead projectConversations invalidation
- useQueryParams: carry the project into the new conversation when applying
  URL settings, so /c/new?projectId=...&<settings> stays scoped

* fix: project stats pagination + archived-chat edge cases (data-schemas)

- listChatProjects: include the null lastConversationAt bucket in the desc
  cursor so empty projects paginate (a $lt:<date> predicate excluded nulls,
  hiding chat-less projects from "Load more")
- saveConvo: recompute project stats instead of the incremental fast path
  when the saved conversation is itself archived/temporary/expired, so a
  project's lastConversationAt/Id no longer points at a hidden chat

* test: cover chat-less project pagination across the dated→null boundary

* fix: validate project ownership in bulkSaveConvos

Bulk paths (import/duplicate/fork) persisted whatever chatProjectId the
payload carried; an id that does not belong to the user created an orphan
assignment hidden from both the project and the unassigned sidebar. Validate
ownership like saveConvo and strip un-owned project ids before persisting,
refreshing stats only for owned projects.

* fix(projects): preserve chatProjectId on continuation, basename-safe delete redirect, project-detail invalidation

* fix(projects): navigate project workspace chats via useNavigateToConvo to avoid stale conversation state

* fix(projects): include projectConversations cache when resolving deleted chat's project for detail invalidation

* fix(projects): refresh both projects when a save or bulk write moves a chat between them

* style(projects): use Folders icon for the sidebar Projects header

* fix(projects): require id on ProjectUser so ProjectRequest extends Express Request cleanly

* style(projects): taller project chip with hover-revealed remove button, upward combobox; sort en translations

* style(projects): show endpoint/agent icon for project workspace chat rows

*  feat: Immediate Conversation Title Generation

Generate conversation titles as soon as the request is made (in parallel
with the response, from the user's first message) as the new default,
fixing the #13318 race where a transient /gen_title 404 left new chats
stuck on "New Chat".

- Add per-endpoint `titleTiming` ('immediate' | 'final') to baseEndpointSchema;
  `endpoints.all` acts as the global default, unset = immediate. Resolve via
  a new `resolveTitleTiming` helper (`all` takes precedence).
- Fire title generation in parallel with `sendMessage`; `titleConvo` waits
  (bounded, abortable) for the agent run and titles from the user input only.
  Persist after the conversation row exists; defer `disposeClient` until the
  title settles.
- Expose `titleGenerationTiming` via startup config; `useTitleGeneration`
  fetches eagerly in immediate mode with a bounded 404 retry and never treats
  a transient 404 as final. Skip title queueing for temporary conversations.
- Supersedes #13329 while incorporating its bounded 404-retry.

* 🩹 fix: Address Copilot review findings on title timing

- Guard against an undefined conversationId in addTitle (skip + warn) so the
  gen_title cache key can't collide as `userId-undefined` and saveConvo is
  never called without a conversationId.
- Gate the title `useQueries` on `enabled` so no /gen_title request fires while
  unauthenticated (e.g. after logout) even if the module queue holds IDs.
- Drop the stale `conversationId` param from the titleConvo JSDoc.
- Add a regression test for the undefined-conversationId guard.

* 🧵 fix: Harden immediate-title edge cases from codex review

- Cancel in-flight immediate title generation when the request aborts: thread
  job.abortController.signal through addTitle so pressing Stop on a new chat
  neither consumes the title model nor surfaces a title for a cancelled turn.
- Preserve a locally-applied title when the final SSE event's conversation
  carries no title yet (built before the title was saved), so long immediate-mode
  responses no longer revert the chat to "New Chat" until reload.
- Guarantee one full post-completion gen_title fetch cycle before giving up, so a
  `final`-mode title (generated only after the stream ends) is still fetched under
  a global `immediate` default instead of being stranded.
- Add regression tests for the abort propagation and the undefined-conversationId guard.

* 🔁 fix: Correct title abort, post-completion refetch, and replacement ordering

Follow-up to codex review of the immediate-title fixes:

- Use a dedicated title AbortController instead of `job.abortController`. The
  latter is also aborted by `completeJob` on *successful* completion, which
  cancelled any title slower than a short response. The title is now cancelled
  only on a real user Stop or when the stream is replaced; a completed-then-
  aborted title is discarded (no save, cache cleared) rather than persisted.
- Reset (not remove) the post-completion title query: `resetQueries` refetches
  the mounted observer with a fresh retry budget, whereas `removeQueries` left it
  stuck in its error state, so the promised post-completion cycle never ran.
- Run the job-replacement check before resolving `convoReady`, and on a replaced
  stream cancel/discard the stale title so a discarded prompt can't persist a title.

* 🧷 fix: Tighten title abort ordering and endpoint-level timing resolution

Follow-up to codex review:

- Abort the title controller before resolving `convoReady` on a stopped turn, so
  the title task can't resume and persist before the later abort.
- Cancel the title and unblock its waits on ANY send failure (not just user
  aborts): a preflight/quota failure before the run exists otherwise hangs
  `_waitForRun`, deferring client disposal until the 45s title timeout.
- Resolve `titleTiming` for custom endpoints via `getCustomEndpointConfig`
  (their config lives under `endpoints.custom[]`, not `endpoints[endpoint]`).
- Derive the startup `titleGenerationTiming` via `resolveTitleTiming` for the
  agents endpoint so an endpoint-level `final` (without `endpoints.all`) is honored
  client-side instead of defaulting to immediate and burning eager gen_title polls.

* 🪢 fix: Per-agent title timing and safer abort/replacement handling

Follow-up to codex review:

- Resolve `titleTiming` from the agent's actual endpoint after initialization, so a
  per-endpoint `final` override on a custom/provider endpoint backing an (ephemeral)
  agent is honored instead of always using the `agents` endpoint's value.
- Don't preserve a locally-fetched title on a stopped (unfinished) turn: the server
  cancels and discards that title, so keeping it client-side would diverge from
  server state and leave the stopped chat titled until reload.
- On abort/replacement, only delete the cached title if it still holds THIS task's
  value — a replacement stream shares the `userId-conversationId` key and may have
  already cached its own valid title that must not be removed.

* 🪞 fix: Mirror AgentClient title-config resolution for titleTiming

Per maintainer guidance, keep titleTiming resolution identical to how
`AgentClient#titleConvo` already resolves the endpoint config — `endpoints.all`
is the intended global override and the agent's actual provider endpoint is used:

- Resolve via `endpoints.all ?? endpoints[endpoint] ?? getProviderConfig(endpoint)
  .customEndpointConfig` (was using `getCustomEndpointConfig` directly). Going
  through `getProviderConfig` picks up its case-insensitive fallback for normalized
  provider names (e.g. `openrouter` → `OpenRouter`), so a custom endpoint's
  `titleTiming` is honored like its other title settings.
- Add `titleTiming` to the Azure endpoint schema `.pick()` so
  `endpoints.azureOpenAI.titleTiming` is no longer silently stripped by Zod.

Note: per-endpoint title settings being skipped when `endpoints.all` is present is
the existing, intended global-override behavior — not changed here.

* 🧪 test: Cover useTitleGeneration effect logic (integration)

Adds a deterministic white-box integration test that drives the real hook's
React effects with a controllable react-query surface, locking down the
stateful decisions that previously had no coverage:

- immediate mode fetches a queued conversation while its stream is still active
- final mode gates until the stream completes, then becomes eligible
- success applies the fetched title to the conversation caches
- a 404 while active defers (removeQueries) instead of giving up
- a 404 after completion forces a fresh fetch via resetQueries (post-completion remount)

* 🧠 fix: Replay DeepSeek `reasoning_content` via OpenRouter

DeepSeek's thinking-mode API rejects multi-turn tool-calling requests
unless `reasoning_content` from each tool-bearing assistant message is
replayed verbatim, returning HTTP 400 "The `reasoning_content` in the
thinking mode must be passed back to the API." The agents SDK already
handles this for direct `Providers.DEEPSEEK`, but DeepSeek models routed
via OpenRouter use `Providers.OPENROUTER` — `formatAgentMessages` skipped
the reasoning-preservation branch, and `ChatOpenRouter` left
`includeReasoningContent` unset, so the field silently dropped on every
subsequent turn.

Add `isDeepSeekReasoningProvider(provider, model)` and use it in two
places: (1) `getOpenAILLMConfig` flips `includeReasoningContent: true`
when OpenRouter is dispatching a `deepseek/*` model so the LangChain
client emits the field on assistant turns that have non-empty
`additional_kwargs.reasoning_content`, and (2) `AgentClient` spoofs the
provider hint to `Providers.DEEPSEEK` when calling
`formatAgentMessages`, triggering the SDK's existing
`preserveReasoningContent` path that re-attaches the field to
reconstructed tool-bearing AIMessages. The downstream
`_convertMessagesToOpenAIParams` is already gated on non-empty
`reasoning_content`, so the flag is a no-op outside thinking mode.

Resolves #13366.

* fix: Harden DeepSeek detection against OpenRouter routing edges

Address three Codex review findings on #13368:

1. Strip OpenRouter's `~` latest-routing prefix before applying the
   DeepSeek model regex. `~deepseek-chat` and `~deepseek/r1` were
   previously left unmatched because the regex's start/`/` boundary
   only saw the `~`. Mirror the SDK's `normalizeOpenRouterModel()`
   here and in `getOpenAILLMConfig`.

2. Add a custom-endpoint fallback: when the model id carries the
   unambiguous `deepseek/...` OpenRouter namespace, accept it
   regardless of the resolved provider. Covers the case where a user
   configures OpenRouter under a non-standard endpoint name and
   `initializeAgent` normalizes the unknown provider to `openai`,
   stranding the spoof. Bare `deepseek-*` ids still require an
   explicit DeepSeek/OpenRouter provider so unrelated endpoints
   labelling a model `deepseek-r1` don't trigger.

3. Inspect every agent in `this.agentConfigs` when deciding whether
   to spoof the format provider. Multi-agent handoff runs feed all
   agents' messages through one `formatAgentMessages` call, so a
   DeepSeek handoff under a non-DeepSeek primary previously lost its
   persisted reasoning_content too.

Also addresses Copilot's review note: only pass the options object
to `formatAgentMessages` when the DeepSeek spoof is actually needed,
preserving the pre-fix behavior for everyone else.

* fix: Extend DeepSeek reasoning_content fix to OpenAI-compat agent paths

Address two more Codex P2 findings on #13368:

1. `getOpenAILLMConfig` no longer gates `includeReasoningContent` on
   `useOpenRouter`. Any DeepSeek-style model id (with `~` latest-routing
   prefix stripped) is sufficient. This re-aligns the LLM gate with
   `AgentClient`'s formatter spoof, which already treats a `deepseek/*`
   id as authoritative — so a custom-named OpenRouter endpoint or a
   DeepSeek-compatible proxy gets the field both attached to history AND
   serialized to the wire. Direct `ChatDeepSeek` ignores the flag (its
   own conversion path hardcodes `includeReasoningContent: true`), so
   this is a harmless no-op there.

2. Thread the same `Providers.DEEPSEEK` formatter hint through
   `api/server/controllers/agents/openai.js` and `responses.js` (the
   OpenAI-/Responses-compatible serving paths). Without it those paths
   restored `additional_kwargs.reasoning_content` only in `AgentClient`
   while the LLM config flipped `includeReasoningContent` on for them
   too — so DeepSeek tool turns served from those endpoints would still
   ship requests with the flag set but no field present, hitting the
   same second-turn 400. The `needsDeepSeekFormatHint` helper in
   `openai.js` mirrors `AgentClient`'s per-agent check.

* fix: Tighten DeepSeek detection and cover handoff sub-agents

Address four more Codex P2 findings on #13368:

- Tighten the DeepSeek model regex to `^deepseek(?:[-/]|$)/i` (anchored
  to start). Rejects cloned/distilled slugs like
  `mistral/deepseek-distilled-foo` and `community/deepseek-r1` that
  previously matched via the `(?:^|/)` alternation, which could attach
  the DeepSeek-only `reasoning_content` field on proxies that don't
  accept it.

- Anchoring also collapses the namespace-only fallback into the same
  pattern, so bare `deepseek-chat` / `deepseek-reasoner` on a
  custom OpenAI-compatible DeepSeek proxy are now recognized — fixing
  the asymmetry where `getOpenAILLMConfig` would flip
  `includeReasoningContent` for those bare ids but `AgentClient`
  wouldn't pass the formatter hint.

- Extend `needsDeepSeekFormatHint` in `openai.js` (and the inline
  check in `responses.js`) to walk `handoffAgentConfigs` too. In
  multi-agent runs where the primary isn't DeepSeek but a connected
  handoff agent is, the SDK's `formatAgentMessages` previously dropped
  the handoff's persisted reasoning_content before the next tool turn,
  preserving the 400 the PR was meant to prevent.

- Mirror the regex change in `getOpenAILLMConfig`.

Out of scope: the OpenAI-compatible serving paths still don't
preserve incoming `reasoning_content`/`reasoning` fields in
`convertMessages`, nor does the Responses API persist reasoning in
`saveResponseOutput`. Those are deeper persistence/conversion fixes
worth a separate PR.

* test: Allow includeReasoningContent for Azure-serverless DeepSeek

CI surfaced a backward-compat expectation that snapshotted the
pre-fix behavior. Azure-serverless DeepSeek deployments (e.g.
`DeepSeek-R1`) forward to the same DeepSeek thinking-mode tool-call
contract, so the LLM gate now correctly flips
`includeReasoningContent: true` for them too. The downstream
gate on a non-empty `additional_kwargs.reasoning_content` keeps
this a no-op outside thinking mode.

* chore: Trim noisy comments

Per CLAUDE.md ("self-documenting code; no inline comments narrating
what code does"), strip the multi-paragraph rationale that crept into
the DeepSeek reasoning_content fix. The commit history and PR
description carry the why; the code says the what.

Keeps one single-line JSDoc on `isDeepSeekReasoningProvider` (linking
to the DeepSeek docs) and a `(#13366)` tag on each opt-in site so
future readers can find the context.

* revert: Drop non-functional DeepSeek hint from OpenAI-compat serving paths

Codex's later review passes correctly flagged that threading the
DeepSeek formatter hint through openai.js (`/v1/chat/completions`) and
responses.js (`/v1/responses`) doesn't actually fix the second-turn
400 in those paths. Empirical check against the real SDK confirmed the
gap is deeper and pre-existing:

  formatAgentMessages(payload, ..., { provider: DEEPSEEK })

where payload is the `convertMessages`/`convertInputToMessages` output
shape (string content + TOP-LEVEL `tool_calls`) produces NO tool-bearing
AIMessage at all — `formatAssistantMessage` only reconstructs tool calls
from `tool_call`-typed *content parts*, never a top-level `tool_calls`
field. So those serving paths don't reconstruct tool-call history (let
alone reasoning) regardless of the hint. The Responses persistence layer
likewise stores only output text, not tool calls or reasoning.

Making those paths work requires reworking the wire->internal message
conversion (and Responses persistence) to emit content-part arrays — a
broad, pre-existing concern beyond this issue and risky to land here.
Rather than ship a hint that looks like a fix but is inert, revert the
serving-path changes and scope this PR to the validated AgentClient
chat path (the actual surface in #13366).

Reverts the openai.js/responses.js threading and their spec mocks to
main. Keeps the AgentClient fix, `isDeepSeekReasoningProvider`, the
`getOpenAILLMConfig` flag, and the type.

🛟 fix: persist Vertex Gemini 3 thoughtSignatures across DB round-trips (#13026)
When a tool round-trip is interrupted between the tool result and the
model's text reply (user aborted, network drop, pod restart, ...) and
LibreChat persists the partial assistant message, the next conversation
turn reconstructs an `AIMessage` from `formatAgentMessages` that has
`tool_calls` populated but no `additional_kwargs.signatures`. Vertex
Gemini 3 rejects the resumed request with 400 because the most recent
historical functionCall has no `thought_signature`.

## Storage shape

Capture as `Record<tool_call_id, signature>` rather than a flat array.
This addresses the codex P1 review:

  > When an assistant turn contains multiple sequential tool-call batches,
  > this restoration path writes all persisted thoughtSignatures onto only
  > the last tool-bearing AIMessage. Vertex/Gemini validates signatures
  > for each step in the current tool-calling turn, so earlier
  > functionCall steps reconstructed without their signature can still
  > fail with 400.

A single agent run can fire multiple `chat_model_end` events when the
loop cycles the LLM with intervening tool results — each cycle owns a
distinct `tool_call_id`. Per-id storage maps each signature back onto
the right reconstructed `AIMessage`, not just the last one.

## Mapping

`additional_kwargs.signatures` is a flat array indexed by *response part*
(text + functionCall interleaved). `tool_calls` is just the function
calls in their original order. Non-empty signatures correspond 1:1 with
tool_calls in order — see `partsToSignatures` in
`@langchain/google-common`. Single-pass walk maps `signatures[i]` (when
non-empty) onto the i-th `tool_call.id`.

## Pipeline

| Stage | File | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Capture | callbacks.js | `ModelEndHandler` accepts `Record<string,string>` map; walks signatures + tool_calls in tandem to record per-id. Gated on the map being provided — non-Vertex flows are no-op (and also no-op even when provided, since they don't emit signatures). |
| Plumbing | initialize.js | Allocate `collectedThoughtSignatures = {}`, share with handler + client. Always allocated; the JSDoc explicitly documents that it stays empty for non-Vertex providers. |
| Surface | client.js | `sendCompletion` returns `metadata.thoughtSignatures` when the map has entries; falls through unchanged when empty. |
| Persist | (existing BaseClient.handleRespCompletion) | Writes `metadata` from `sendCompletion` onto `responseMessage.metadata`. Mongoose `Mixed` — no migration. |
| Restore | formatMessages.js | Track every tool-bearing AIMessage produced from a TMessage. For each, build a position-aligned `additional_kwargs.signatures` array (empty placeholders for tool_calls without a stored sig). Agents' `fixThoughtSignatures` dispatches non-empty entries to functionCall parts in order. |

## Live verification

- **Single-step:** real Vertex `gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview` resume-after-tool case. With fix  / without  400.
- **Multi-step (codex case):** real two-step agent loop (list /tmp → echo done). Each step's signature attaches to its own reconstructed AIMessage. With fix  / without  400.
- **Cross-provider:** Anthropic Claude haiku-4.5 + OpenAI gpt-5-mini accept the persisted/restored shape unchanged.

## Tests

`modelEndHandler.spec.js` (new) — 6 tests:
- maps non-empty signatures onto tool_call_ids in order
- accumulates per-id across multiple `model_end` events (multi-step)
- no-op when `collectedThoughtSignatures` is null
- no-op when `signatures` field missing (non-Vertex)
- no-op when `tool_calls` missing
- preserves existing `collectedUsage` array contract

`formatAgentMessages.spec.js` — 6 new tests:
- restores onto the AIMessage that owns the tool_call
- per-step attachment for multi-step turns (codex review case)
- preserves tool_call ordering when signatures are partial
- no-op when metadata.thoughtSignatures absent
- no-op when assistant has no tool_calls
- no-op when stored ids don't match any current tool_call

37 passing across 3 suites; 15 existing formatAgentMessages tests unchanged.

## Compatibility

- Backward-compatible — restore gated on `metadata.thoughtSignatures` being a populated object; capture gated on the map being provided.
- No schema migration — uses `Message.metadata: Mixed` already in place.
- Cross-provider safe — non-Vertex providers tolerate the field (verified live against Anthropic + OpenAI converters).
- Pairs with [agents#159](https://github.com/danny-avila/agents/pull/159) for full coverage on histories that mix plain-text and toolcall AIMessages.

🧱 refactor: typed CodeEnvRef + kind discriminator + principal-aware sandbox cache (#12960)
* 🧱 refactor: typed CodeEnvRef + kind discriminator + tenant-aware sandbox cache

Final cutover for the LibreChat ↔ codeapi sandbox file identity. Replaces
the magic string `${session_id}/${file_id}?entity_id=...` with a typed,
discriminated `CodeEnvRef`. Pre-release lockstep deploy with codeapi
#1455 and agents #148; no legacy aliases retained.

## Final shape

```ts
type CodeEnvRef =
  | { kind: 'skill'; id: string; storage_session_id: string; file_id: string; version: number }
  | { kind: 'agent'; id: string; storage_session_id: string; file_id: string }
  | { kind: 'user';  id: string; storage_session_id: string; file_id: string };
```

`kind` drives codeapi's sessionKey: `<tenant>:<kind>:<id>[✌️<version>]`
for shared kinds, `<tenant>:user:<userId>` for user-private (auth context
provides `userId`). `version` is statically required for `kind: 'skill'`
and forbidden otherwise via discriminated union — constraint holds at
compile time on every consumer, not just codeapi's runtime validator.

`id` is sessionKey-meaningful for `'skill'` / `'agent'`; informational
only for `'user'` (codeapi resolves user identity from auth context).

## What changed

- `packages/data-provider/src/codeEnvRef.ts` — discriminated union +
  `CODE_ENV_KINDS` const-tuple keeps the runtime list and TS union
  locked together.
- Schemas: `metadata.codeEnvRef` and `SkillFile.codeEnvRef` enums
  tightened to `['skill', 'agent', 'user']`.
- `primeSkillFiles` writes `kind: 'skill'`, `id: skill._id`,
  `version: skill.version`. Cache-hit path reads `codeEnvRef`
  directly. Bumping `skill.version` on edit naturally invalidates
  the prior cache entry under the new sessionKey.
- `processCodeOutput` writes `kind: 'user'`, `id: req.user.id`. Output
  bucket is always user-scoped, regardless of which skill the
  execution invoked. New regression test pins the asymmetry.
- `primeFiles` reupload preserves `kind`/`id`/`version?` from the
  existing ref so a skill-cache-miss reupload doesn't silently demote
  to user bucket.
- `crud.js` upload functions (`uploadCodeEnvFile` /
  `batchUploadCodeEnvFiles`) thread `kind`/`id`/`version?` to the
  multipart form (codeapi #1455 option α). Without these on the wire,
  codeapi falls back to user bucketing and skill-cache invalidation
  never fires. Client-side validation mirrors codeapi's validator.
- `Files/process.js` — chat attachments use `kind: 'user'`; agent
  setup files use `kind: 'agent'`.
- Drops `entity_id` everywhere (struct, schema sub-docs, write paths,
  upload form fields). Drops `'system'` from the kind enum (no emitter
  ever existed).

## Test plan

- [x] `cd packages/data-provider && npx jest src/codeEnvRef.spec` — 4 / 4
- [x] `cd packages/data-schemas && npx jest` — 1447 / 1447
- [x] `cd packages/api && npx jest src/agents` — 81 / 81 in skillFiles +
  handlers + resources
- [x] `cd api && npx jest server/services/Files server/controllers/agents` —
  436 / 436
- [x] `cd api && npx jest server/services/Files/Code` — 98 / 98 (incl.
  new "outputs are user-scoped regardless of which skill the execution
  invoked" regression and "reupload forwards kind/id/version from
  existing ref")
- [x] `npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/data-{provider,schemas}/tsconfig.json
  && npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/api/tsconfig.json` — clean (only
  pre-existing unrelated dev errors in storage/balance, untouched here)

## Deploy notes

- **24h cache-miss burst** on first deploy. Inputs (skill caches re-prime
  under new sessionKey shape) and outputs (any pre-Phase C skill-output
  cached files become unreadable). Bounded by codeapi's 24h TTL.
- **Lockstep with codeapi #1455 and agents #148.** Either repo can land
  first since no aliases to drain, but the three deploys must overlap
  within the same maintenance window.
- **`@librechat/agents` bump to `3.1.79-dev.0`** required after agents
  #148 lands and is published.

## What this enables

Auth bridge work (JWT-based tenant/user identity between LC and codeapi)
— codeapi now derives sessionKey purely from `req.codeApiAuthContext.{
tenantId, userId}`, so the next chapter is replacing the header-asserted
user identity with a verified-claim path.

* 🩹 fix: persist execute_code uploads under codeEnvRef metadata key

Codex review P1 (chatgpt-codex-connector). `Files/process.js` was
storing the upload result under `metadata.fileIdentifier` even though:
- `uploadCodeEnvFile` now returns `{ storage_session_id, file_id }`,
  not the legacy magic string.
- The post-cutover schema (`File.metadata.codeEnvRef`) only declares
  `codeEnvRef` — mongoose strict mode silently strips unknown keys.
- All readers (`primeFiles`, `getCodeFilesByIds`,
  `categorizeFileForToolResources`, controller filtering) check
  `metadata.codeEnvRef`.

Net effect of the bug: chat-attached and agent-setup execute_code files
would lose their sandbox reference on save, and primeFiles would skip
them on subsequent code-execution turns — the file blob would still be
available locally but never re-mounted in the sandbox.

Fix: construct the full `CodeEnvRef` (`{ kind, id, storage_session_id,
file_id }`) at the write site and persist under `metadata.codeEnvRef`.
`BaseClient`'s "is this a code-env file" presence check accepts the new
shape alongside the legacy `fileIdentifier` for back-compat with any
pre-cutover records still in the database. Mirrors the same change in
`processAttachments.spec.ts` (which re-implements the BaseClient logic
for testability).

New regression tests in `process.spec.js` cover three cases:
- chat attachments (`messageAttachment=true`) → `kind: 'user'`
- agent setup (`messageAttachment=false`) → `kind: 'agent'`
- legacy `fileIdentifier` key is NOT persisted (would be schema-stripped)

* 🩹 fix: read storage_session_id on primed file refs (Codex P1)

Codex review (chatgpt-codex-connector). After Phase B's per-file
`session_id` → `storage_session_id` rename, `primeFiles` emits the
new field — but `seedCodeFilesIntoSessions` was still reading
`files[0].session_id` for the representative session and `f.session_id`
for the dedupe key. In runs with only primed attachments (no skill
seed), `representativeSessionId` was `undefined`, the function
returned the unchanged map, and `seedCodeFilesIntoSessions` silently
dropped the entire batch. The first `execute_code` call then started
without `_injected_files` and the agent couldn't see prior-turn
artifacts.

Fix:
- `codeFilesSession.ts`: read `f.storage_session_id` for both the
  dedupe key and the representative session id. JSDoc updated to
  match the new field name.
- `callbacks.js`: the two output-file persistence paths read
  `file.session_id` to pass to `processCodeOutput` — switch to
  `file.storage_session_id`. The original comment explicitly says
  this should be the STORAGE session, which is exactly the field
  Phase B renamed.
- `codeFilesSession.spec.ts`: fixture builder uses `storage_session_id`
  and `kind: 'user'` to match the post-cutover `CodeEnvFile` shape.

Lockstep coordination: this matches the post-bump shape of
`@librechat/agents` 3.1.79+. CI tsc errors against the currently-pinned
3.1.78 are expected and resolve when the dep bumps in this PR before
merge.

* 📦 chore: Bump `@librechat/agents` to version 3.1.80-dev.0 in package-lock and package.json files

* 🪪 fix: thread kind/id/version through codeapi /download URLs (Phase C α)

Symmetric fix for the upload-side wire change in 537725a. Codeapi's
`sessionAuth` middleware now requires `kind`/`id`/`version?` on every
download/freshness URL — without them it 400s with "kind must be one
of: skill, agent, user" before serving the file.

Three sites construct codeapi-side URLs that go through `sessionAuth`:

- `processCodeOutput` (`Files/Code/process.js`): `/download/<sess>/<id>`
  for freshly-generated sandbox outputs. Always `kind: 'user'` +
  `id: req.user.id` — code-output files are always user-private,
  regardless of which skill the run invoked.
- `getSessionInfo` (`Files/Code/process.js`): `/sessions/<sess>/objects/<id>`
  for the 23h freshness check. Pulls kind/id/version straight off the
  `codeEnvRef` already in scope — skill files stay skill-bucketed,
  user files stay user-bucketed.
- `/code/download/:session_id/:fileId` LC route (`routes/files/files.js`):
  proxies to codeapi for manual downloads. Code-output files only on
  this route, so `kind: 'user'` + `id: req.user.id`.

The `getCodeOutputDownloadStream` helper in `crud.js` now takes an
`identity` param, validated by a `buildCodeEnvDownloadQuery` helper
that mirrors `appendCodeEnvFileIdentity`'s shape rules: kind required
from the closed `{skill, agent, user}` set, version required for
'skill' and forbidden otherwise. Bad callers fail fast on the client
instead of round-tripping a 400.

Also cleans up two log-noise sources reported alongside the 400:

- `logAxiosError` in `packages/api/src/utils/axios.ts` was dumping
  `error.response.data` raw. With `responseType: 'arraybuffer'` that's
  a `Buffer` (~4 chars per byte after JSON-serialization); with
  `responseType: 'stream'` it's a `Readable` whose internal state
  serializes the entire ring buffer + socket. New `renderResponseData`
  decodes small buffers as UTF-8 (truncated past 2KB) and stubs streams
  as `'[stream]'`. Diagnostics stay useful, log lines stop being
  megabytes.
- `/code/download` route's catch was bare `logger.error('...', error)`,
  bypassing the redactor. Switched to `logAxiosError` so it benefits
  from the same buffer/stream handling.

Tests updated to match the new contract:
- crud.spec: `getCodeOutputDownloadStream` fixtures pass `userIdentity`;
  new cases cover skill identity (with version), bad kind rejection,
  skill-without-version rejection.
- process.spec: `getSessionInfo` test passes a full `codeEnvRef` object.

* ♻️ refactor: extract codeEnv identity helpers into packages/api

Per the project convention that new backend code lives in TypeScript
under `packages/api`, moves `appendCodeEnvFileIdentity` and
`buildCodeEnvDownloadQuery` from `api/server/services/Files/Code/crud.js`
into a new `packages/api/src/files/code/identity.ts` module.

Both helpers are pure validators that mirror codeapi's
`parseUploadSessionKeyInput` server-side rules (closed kind set,
`version` required for `'skill'` and forbidden otherwise) — they
deserve TS support and a dedicated spec rather than living as
JSDoc-typed helpers in the legacy `/api` workspace. The new module:

- Exports a `CodeEnvIdentity` interface using the
  `librechat-data-provider` `CodeEnvKind` discriminated union.
- Adds 13 unit tests in `identity.spec.ts` covering the validation
  matrix (skill+version, agent, user, and every rejection path) plus
  URL encoding for the download query.
- Re-exported from `packages/api/src/files/code/index.ts` alongside
  `classify`, `extract`, and `form`.

Consumer updates:
- `api/server/services/Files/Code/crud.js`: drops the local helpers
  and imports them from `@librechat/api`. Net -64 lines.
- `api/server/services/Files/Code/process.js`: same.
- Test mocks for `@librechat/api` in three spec files now stub the
  helpers' validation behavior locally rather than pulling them
  through `requireActual` (which would drag in provider-config
  init-time side effects). The package's `exports` field only
  surfaces the root barrel, so leaf imports aren't reachable from
  legacy `/api` test setup.

No runtime behavior change. Identity validation rules and emitted
form/query shapes are byte-for-byte identical pre/post.

* 🪪 fix: emit resource_id alongside id on _injected_files (skill 403 fix)

Companion to codeapi #1455 fix and agents 3.1.80-dev.1 — the wire
shape for shared-kind files now requires `resource_id` distinct from
the storage `id`. Without this LC change, codeapi's sessionKey
re-derivation on every shared-kind /exec rejects with 403
session_key_mismatch:

    cached:  legacy:skill:69dcf561...✌️59  (signed at upload, skill _id)
    derived: legacy:skill:ysPwEURuPk-...✌️59  (storage nanoid)

Emit sites updated:

- `primeInvokedSkills` cache-hit path: `resource_id: ref.id` (the
  persisted skill `_id` from `codeEnvRef.id`); `id: ref.file_id`
  unchanged (storage uuid).
- `primeInvokedSkills` fresh-upload path: `resource_id: skill._id.toString()`
  on every primed file (the `allPrimedFiles` builder type now carries
  the field).
- `processCodeOutput`'s `pushFile` (Code/process.js): `resource_id: ref.id`
  — for `kind: 'user'` this is informational (codeapi derives
  sessionKey from auth context) but emitted for shape uniformity
  with shared kinds.

Bumps `@librechat/agents` to `^3.1.80-dev.1` (the version that
ships the matching `CodeEnvFile.resource_id` field).

## Test plan

- [x] `cd packages/api && npx jest src/agents` — 67 / 67 pass
  (skillFiles fixtures updated to assert `resource_id` on the
  emitted CodeSessionContext.files).
- [x] `cd api && npx jest server/services/Files server/controllers/agents` —
  445 / 445 pass (process.spec fixtures updated for the reupload
  + cache-hit emission).
- [x] `npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/api/tsconfig.json` — clean.

* fix(skill-tool-call): carry resource_id through primeSkillFiles → artifact

Codeapi was 400ing every /exec following a `handle_skill` tool call
with `resource_id is invalid` (`type: 'undefined'`). Both code paths
in `primeSkillFiles` (cache-hit + fresh-upload) returned files
without `resource_id`/`kind`/`version`, and the artifact in
`handlers.ts` forwarded the stripped shape into
`tc.codeSessionContext.files` → `_injected_files`.

`primeInvokedSkills` (the NL-detected loader) had already been fixed
end-to-end; this commit aligns the tool-invoked path with the same
contract: `resource_id` = `skill._id.toString()`, `kind: 'skill'`,
`version` = the skill's monotonic counter.

Tests added to `skillFiles.spec.ts` lock the contract on
`primeSkillFiles` directly so future refactors can't silently drop
the resource identity again.

* fix(handlers.spec): align session_id → storage_session_id rename + kind discriminator

Pre-existing TS errors against the post-rename `CodeEnvFile` shape:
the test file still used `session_id` on per-file objects (renamed to
`storage_session_id` in agents Phase B/C) and was missing the `kind`
discriminator the discriminated union requires. Both inputs and the
matching `expect.toEqual(...)` mirrors updated together so the
runtime equality check still holds.

Lines 723-732 stay as-is — they sit behind `as unknown as
ToolCallRequest` and TS already skipped them.

* feat(observability): trace file priming chain from primeCodeFiles to _injected_files

Diagnosing the user-upload "files=[] on first /exec" bug requires
seeing where in the LC chain a file ref disappears. Prior to this
patch the chain (primeCodeFiles → primedCodeFiles → initialSessions
→ CodeSessionContext → _injected_files) was opaque end-to-end:
  - primeCodeFiles silently dropped files without `metadata.codeEnvRef`
  - reuploadFile catches all errors and continues with no signal
  - the handlers.ts handoff to codeapi never logged what it was sending

After this patch, a single grep on `[primeCodeFiles]` plus
`[code-env:inject]` shows the full per-file path:

  [primeCodeFiles] in: file_ids=N resourceFiles=M
  [primeCodeFiles] file=<id> path=skip reason=no-codeenvref filename=...
  [primeCodeFiles] file=<id> path=cache-hit-by-session storage_session_id=...
  [primeCodeFiles] file=<id> path=reupload reason=no-uploadtime ...
  [primeCodeFiles] file=<id> path=reupload reason=stale ...
  [primeCodeFiles] file=<id> path=reupload-success oldSession=... newSession=... newFileId=...
  [primeCodeFiles] file=<id> path=reupload-failed session=...
  [primeCodeFiles] file=<id> path=fresh-active storage_session_id=...
  [primeCodeFiles] out: returned=N skippedNoRef=M reuploadFailures=K

  [code-env:inject] tool=<name> files=N missingResourceId=K     (debug)
  [code-env:inject] M/N files missing resource_id ...           (warn)
  [code-env:inject] tool=<name> _injected_files=0 ...           (warn)

The boundary log warns when LC sends zero injected files on a
code-execution tool call — that's the user's actual symptom showing
up at the LC side instead of having to correlate against codeapi's
`Request received { files: [] }`.

Tag chosen as `[code-env:inject]` rather than `[handoff:exec]` to
avoid collision with the app-level "handoff" semantic (subagent
handoff workflow).

Structural cleanup in primeFiles: replaced the `if (ref) { ... }`
nesting with an early `if (!ref) continue` so the per-path
instrumentation hooks land at top-level scope instead of indented
inside a conditional. Behavior unchanged; pushFile / reuploadFile
identical.

Spec fixtures (handlers.spec.ts, codeFilesSession.spec.ts) updated
to include `resource_id` on `CodeEnvFile` literals — required by
the post-3.1.80-dev.2 type now installed.

## Test plan

- [x] `cd packages/api && npx jest src/agents/handlers.spec.ts src/agents/codeFilesSession.spec.ts src/agents/skillFiles.spec.ts` — 69/69 pass

* chore: add CONSOLE_JSON_STRING_LENGTH to .env.example for JSON log string length configuration

* fix(files): align codeapi upload filename with LC's sanitized DB filename

User-attached files for code execution were uploading to codeapi
under `file.originalname` (raw upload filename, may contain spaces /
special chars) while LC's DB record stored the sanitized form
(`sanitizeFilename(file.originalname)`, underscores). Codeapi
preserves whatever filename the upload sent, so the sandbox saw
`/mnt/data/<originalname>` while LC's `primeFiles` toolContext text
+ `_injected_files.name` referenced `file.filename` (sanitized).

Visible failure: agent gets system prompt saying

    /mnt/data/librechat_code_api_-_active_customer_-_2025-11-05.xlsx

…tries that path, hits `FileNotFoundError`, then notices the
sandbox's actual `Available files` line says

    /mnt/data/librechat code api - active customer - 2025-11-05.xlsx

…retries with spaces, succeeds. Wastes a tool call per upload and
leaks raw filenames into model context.

Fix: sanitize once and use the sanitized form in both the codeapi
upload AND the LC DB record. Sandbox path = LC toolContext text =
in-memory ref name. No drift.

Reupload path (`Code/process.js` line 867 `filename: file.filename`)
already uses the sanitized DB name, so it stays consistent with the
fresh-upload path after this change.

## Test plan

- [x] `cd api && npx jest server/services/Files/process` — 32/32 pass

🌱 fix: Inject Code-Tool Files Into Graph Sessions on First Call (+ read_file Sandbox Fallback) (#12831)
* 🌱 fix: Seed Code Tool Files Into Graph Sessions on First Call

Files attached to an agent's `tool_resources.execute_code` (user uploads
or generated artifacts from a prior turn) were silently dropped on the
first `execute_code` invocation of a turn. The agents-side `ToolNode`
populates `_injected_files` only when its `sessions` map already has an
`EXECUTE_CODE` entry — but that entry is only written by a previous
successful execution, so call #1 had nothing to inject. CodeExecutor
then fell back to a `/files/{session_id}` fetch, but `session_id` was
also empty on call #1, leaving the sandbox without the primed files.

Mirror the existing skill-priming pattern (`primeInvokedSkills` →
`initialSessions`) for code-resource files: eagerly call `primeFiles`
before `createRun` and merge the result into `initialSessions` via a
new `seedCodeFilesIntoSessions` helper. Skill files and code-resource
files now share the same `EXECUTE_CODE` entry; the prior representative
`session_id` is preserved on merge.

* 🔬 chore: Add Diagnostic Logging for Code-Files Seeding

Temporary debug logs to diagnose why first-call file injection is not
firing in real agent runs. Logs `wantsCodeExec`, available tool-resource
keys, primed file count, and the seeded EXECUTE_CODE entry. Will revert
once the failure mode is identified.

* 🪛 refactor: Capture primedCodeFiles per-agent at init, merge across run

Replace the client.js eager `primeFiles` call with a per-agent capture at
initialization time so every agent in a multi-agent run (primary +
handoff + addedConvo) contributes its `tool_resources.execute_code`
files to the shared `Graph.sessions` seed.

- handleTools.js (eager loadTools): the `execute_code` factory closes
  over a `primedCodeFiles` slot and surfaces it in the return.
- ToolService.js loadToolDefinitionsWrapper (event-driven): captures
  `files` from the existing `primeCodeFiles` call (was dropping them
  while only keeping `toolContext`) and surfaces them.
- packages/api initialize.ts: the loadTools callback contract now
  includes `primedCodeFiles`, threaded onto `InitializedAgent`.
- client.js: iterate `[primary, ...agentConfigs.values()]` and merge
  each agent's `primedCodeFiles` into `initialSessions`. Drop the
  primary-only `primeCodeFiles` call and diagnostic logs from the prior
  attempt — wrong layer (single-agent), wrong gate (`agent.tools`
  contained Tool instances after init, so the `.includes("execute_code")`
  string check always failed).

* 🔬 chore: Add per-agent diagnostic logs for code-files seeding

Logs `tool_resources` keys + file counts inside loadToolDefinitionsWrapper
and per-agent `primedCodeFiles` + final initialSessions inside
AgentClient. Will revert once the failure mode is confirmed.

* 🔬 chore: Add file-lookup diagnostics inside initializeAgent

Logs the inputs and intermediate counts of the conversation-file lookup
chain (convo file ids, thread message ids, code-generated and
user-code file counts) so we can pinpoint why `tool_resources.execute_code`
is arriving empty at `loadToolDefinitionsWrapper` despite the agent
having `execute_code` in its tools list.

* 🔬 chore: Probe execute_code files without messageId filter

Adds a relaxed `getFiles({conversationId, context: execute_code})` probe
that runs only when `getCodeGeneratedFiles` returns empty. Lists what's
actually in the DB for this conversation so we can confirm whether the
file is missing entirely or whether the messageId filter is rejecting it.

* 🔬 chore: Fix probe getFiles arg order (sort vs projection)

Probe was passing a projection object as the sort arg, which mongoose
rejected with `Invalid sort value`. Move it to the third arg
(selectFields) so the probe actually runs.

* 🪢 fix: Preserve Original messageId on Code-Output File Update

Each `processCodeOutput` call was overwriting the persisted file's
`messageId` with the *current* run's id. When a turn re-creates an
existing file (filename + conversationId match → `claimCodeFile`
returns the existing record, `isUpdate=true`), the file's link to
the assistant message that originally produced it gets clobbered.

`initializeAgent` later runs `getCodeGeneratedFiles({messageId: $in: <thread>})`
to seed `tool_resources.execute_code` from prior-turn artifacts. With a
stale `messageId` (e.g. from a failed read attempt that re-shelled the
same filename), the file no longer matches the parent-walk thread, so
`tool_resources` arrives empty at agent init, the new
`primedCodeFiles` channel has nothing to seed, and the LLM can't see
its own prior-turn artifacts on the next turn — defeating the
just-added Graph-sessions seeding fix.

Preserve the existing `claimed.messageId` on update; first-creation
behavior is unchanged. The runtime return value still includes the
current run's `messageId` (via `Object.assign(file, { messageId })`)
so the artifact is correctly attributed to the live tool_call.

* 🧹 chore: Remove diagnostic logs from code-files seeding path

Drops the temporary debug logs added to trace the empty-tool_resources
failure mode. Production code paths (loadToolDefinitionsWrapper,
client.js seed loop, initializeAgent file lookup) are left as the
permanent shape: capture primedCodeFiles, merge across agents, seed
initialSessions before run start.

* 🪛 feat: read_file Sandbox Fallback for /mnt/data + Non-Skill Paths

When the model called `read_file` with a code-execution path (e.g.
`/mnt/data/sentinel.txt`), the handler returned a misleading
`Use format: {skillName}/{path}` error. Adds a sandbox-aware fallback:

- Short-circuit `/mnt/data/...` (can never be a skill reference) →
  route to a sandbox `cat` via the new host-provided `readSandboxFile`
  callback, which POSTs to the codeapi `/exec` endpoint.
- Skip the skill resolver entirely when `accessibleSkillIds` is empty
  — the resolved-output of `resolveAgentScopedSkillIds` already
  collapses the admin capability + ephemeral badge + persisted
  `skills_enabled` chain, so an empty value is the authoritative
  "skills aren't in scope for this agent" signal.
- For `{firstSegment}/...` paths, consult the catalog-derived
  `activeSkillNames` Set (no DB read) to detect non-skill names and
  fall through to the sandbox before the model has to retry with
  `bash_tool`.

`activeSkillNames` is captured from `injectSkillCatalog`, threaded onto
`InitializedAgent`, into `agentToolContexts`, then through
`enrichWithSkillConfigurable` into `mergedConfigurable` for the handler.

The host implementation of `readSandboxFile` lives in
`api/server/services/Files/Code/process.js` and shells `cat <path>`
through the seeded sandbox session — `tc.codeSessionContext`
(emitted by ToolNode for `read_file` calls in `@librechat/agents`
v3.1.72+) provides the `session_id` + `_injected_files` so the read
lands in the same sandbox that holds prior-turn artifacts. When the
seeded context isn't available (older agents version, no codeapi
configured), the handler returns a model-visible error pointing at
`bash_tool` instead of silently failing.

Tests: 8 new `handleReadFileCall` cases cover the new short-circuits,
the skills-not-enabled gate, the activeSkillNames lookup, the
sandbox-fallback success path, and the bash_tool retry hint on
fallback failure. Existing `read_file` tests now opt into "skills are
in scope" via a `skillsInScope()` fixture (production wouldn't reach
the skill lookup with empty `accessibleSkillIds`).

* 🔧 chore: Update @librechat/agents dependency to version 3.1.72

Bumps the version of the @librechat/agents package across package-lock.json and relevant package.json files to ensure compatibility with the latest features and fixes.

* 🪛 refactor: Centralize Tool-Session Seed in buildInitialToolSessions Helper

Addresses review feedback on the per-agent merge in client.js:

- **Run-wide semantics, named explicitly.** The merge into a single
  `Graph.sessions[EXECUTE_CODE]` was a deliberate match to the
  agents-library design (`Graph.sessions` is shared across every
  `ToolNode` in the run), but the inline `for (const a of agents)`
  loop in `AgentClient.chatCompletion` made it look per-agent. Move
  the logic to a TS helper `buildInitialToolSessions` that documents
  the run-wide-by-design contract in one place. The CJS controller
  now contains a single call site, no business logic.

- **Subagent walk (P2).** The previous loop only iterated
  `[primary, ...agentConfigs.values()]`. Pure subagents are pruned
  out of `agentConfigs` after init and retained on each parent's
  `subagentAgentConfigs`, so their primed code files were silently
  dropped from the seed. The helper now walks recursively, with a
  visited-Set keyed on object identity that terminates safely on a
  malformed agent graph (cycle).

- **`jest.setup.cjs` polyfill for undici `File`.** Reviewer hit
  `ReferenceError: File is not defined` running the targeted spec on
  WSL — a known Node 18 issue where `globalThis.File` from
  `node:buffer` isn't auto-exposed. Polyfill it inside a Jest setup
  file so the suite boots regardless of Node patch version.

Helper test coverage (8 new): skill-only / agent-only / both,
recursive subagent walk, cycle-safe walk, primary+subagent
deduplication, undefined/null entries in the agents iterable, and
representative session_id preservation across the merge.

16 tests pass total in `codeFilesSession.spec.ts` (8 prior + 8 new).
No behavior change vs. the previous commit for the existing
primary+agentConfigs case — subagent inclusion is the only new
behavior, and it matches what the existing seeding logic would have
done if subagents had been in `agentConfigs`.

* 🪛 fix: FIFO Walk Order in buildInitialToolSessions (P3 review)

The traversal used `Array.pop()` (LIFO), which visited the LAST
top-level agent first. The docstring says "primary first"; the code
contradicted it. When no skill seed exists the first-visited agent's
first file supplies the representative `session_id` written to
`Graph.sessions[EXECUTE_CODE]` — so a LIFO walk silently flipped which
agent that came from. `ToolNode` ultimately uses per-file `session_id`s
for runtime injection (so behavior was indistinguishable for current
callers), but the discrepancy was a footgun for any future consumer
that read the representative.

Switch to FIFO via `Array.shift()` to match both the docstring and the
existing `loadSubagentsFor` walk pattern in
`Endpoints/agents/initialize.js`. Add a regression test that asserts
the primary's `session_id` is the representative (and that all three
agents' files still contribute, with per-file `session_id`s preserved).

* 🔬 test: Lock In Code-Files Bug Fixes Per Comprehensive Review

Addresses MAJOR + MINOR + NIT findings from the multi-pass review:

**Finding #4 (MINOR) — empty relativePath misses sandbox fallback.**
A model calling `read_file("output/")` where "output" isn't a skill
name dead-ended with `Missing file path after skill name` instead of
being routed to the sandbox like every other malformed-path branch.
Add the same `codeEnvAvailable → handleSandboxFileFallback` pattern,
plus two regression tests.

**Finding #7 (NIT) — duplicate `skillsInScope()` helper.**
Hoist the identical helper out of two nested describe blocks to
module scope. Single source of truth.

**Finding #1 (MAJOR) — `persistedMessageId` had zero test coverage.**
The fix preserves a file's original `messageId` on update so
`getCodeGeneratedFiles` can still match it on subsequent turns. A
regression in the `isUpdate ? (claimed.messageId ?? messageId) : messageId`
ternary would silently re-introduce the original cross-turn priming
bug. Five new tests cover:
- UPDATE preserves `claimed.messageId` in the persisted record
- UPDATE falls back to current run id when `claimed.messageId` is
  absent (legacy records predating the field)
- CREATE uses current run id (no claimed record exists)
- The runtime return value uses the LIVE id (artifact attribution)
  even when the persisted record kept the original
- The image branch follows the same contract (would silently regress
  if the ternary diverged across the two file-build branches)

The tests use a `snapshotCreateFileArgs()` helper because
`processCodeOutput` mutates the file object after `createFile`
returns (`Object.assign(file, { messageId, toolCallId })`) and a
naive `createFile.mock.calls[0][0]` would reflect the post-mutation
state instead of what was actually persisted.

**Finding #2 (MAJOR) — `readSandboxFile` had no direct tests.**
The model-controlled `file_path` flows through a POSIX single-quote
escape into a shell `cat` command, making this a security boundary.
A quoting regression would let a malicious filename break out of the
quoted argument and inject arbitrary shell. 20 new tests across:
- Shell quoting (7): plain filenames, embedded `'`, `$()`, backticks,
  newlines, shell metachars, multiple consecutive single-quotes
- Payload shape (6): /exec URL, bash language, conditional
  session_id / files inclusion, dedicated keepAlive:false agents
- Response handling (6): `{content}` on success, null on missing
  base URL or absent stdout, throws on stderr-only, partial-success
  returns stdout, transport errors are logged then rethrown
- Timeout (1): matches processCodeOutput's 15s SLA

Audited findings #5 (acknowledged tech debt — readSandboxFile in JS
workspace), #6 (pre-existing positional-args debt on
enrichWithSkillConfigurable), and #8 (cosmetic JSDoc style) — no
action taken per the reviewer's own assessment.

Audited finding #3 (walk order vs docstring) — already addressed in
commit 007f32341 which converted to FIFO via `queue.shift()` plus a
regression test. The audit was performed against an earlier PR head.

Tests: 152 packages/api + 195 api JS = 347 pass. Typecheck clean.

* 🪛 fix: Pure-Subagent codeEnv + Primed-Skill Routing + ToolService Early Returns

Three findings from the second-pass review:

**P2 — Pure subagents missed `codeEnvAvailable`** (initialize.js).
The pure-subagent init path didn't forward the endpoint-level
`codeEnvAvailable` flag to `initializeAgent`, unlike the primary,
handoff, and addedConvo paths. A code-enabled subagent loaded only
through `subagentAgentConfigs` initialized with
`codeEnvAvailable: false`, so even though the recursive seed walk
found its primed code files, the subagent's own `bash_tool` /
`read_file` sandbox fallback were silently gated off. Forward the
flag and add `codeEnvAvailable: config.codeEnvAvailable` to the
`agentToolContexts.set` for symmetry with the other paths.

**P2 — Primed skills outside the catalog cap were misrouted to
sandbox** (handlers.ts). Manual ($-popover) and always-apply primes
are intentionally resolved off the wider `accessibleSkillIds` ACL
set BEFORE catalog injection — see `resolveManualSkills` for why a
skill outside the `SKILL_CATALOG_LIMIT` cap can still be authorized
for direct manual invocation. The `activeSkillNames` shortcut ran
before reading `skillPrimedIdsByName`, so a primed skill not in the
catalog would fall through to the sandbox instead of resolving via
the pinned `_id`. Read the primed map first and bypass the shortcut
for primed names. New regression test asserts a primed-but-not-
cataloged skill resolves through the existing skill path with
`getSkillByName` invoked and `readSandboxFile` NOT called.

**P3 — `loadAgentTools` early returns dropped `primedCodeFiles`**
(ToolService.js). The non-`definitionsOnly` path captures the field
correctly, but two early-return branches (no-action-tools fast path,
no-action-sets fast path) omitted it. Any traditional
`loadAgentTools(..., definitionsOnly: false)` caller using
execute_code without action tools would have its first-call session
seed silently empty. Add `primedCodeFiles` to both early returns
for consistency with the final return shape.

Tests: 153 packages/api + 195 api JS = 348 pass.

* 🧹 chore: Document jest.mock arrow-indirection pattern in process.spec.js

Per the second-pass review's Finding #2 (NIT, "would help future
readers"): the mock setup mixes direct `jest.fn()` references with
arrow-function indirection (`(...args) => mockX(...args)`). The
indirection isn't stylistic — it's required because `jest.mock(...)`
is hoisted above the outer `const` declarations at parse time, so a
direct reference would capture `undefined`. Inline comment explains
the pattern so the next reader doesn't have to reverse-engineer it
or accidentally "simplify" the mocks and break per-test
`mockReturnValueOnce` / `mockImplementationOnce` overrides.

* 🪛 fix: Five Issues from Pass-N + Codex Review (incl. 404 root cause)

Five real bugs surfaced by another review pass + Codex PR comments
+ the codeapi-side logs we collected during manual testing:

**1) `processCodeOutput` 404 root cause (`callbacks.js`).**
The codeapi worker emits TWO distinct `session_id`s on a tool result:
  - `artifact.session_id` is the EXEC session — the sandbox VM that
    ran the bash command. Files don't live there; it's torn down
    post-execution.
  - `file.session_id` is the STORAGE session — the file-server
    bucket prefix where artifacts actually live.
`callbacks.js` was passing the EXEC id to `processCodeOutput`, which
builds `/download/{session_id}/{id}` and 404s because the file-server
doesn't know about that path. This explains every "Error
downloading/processing code environment file" we saw during testing.
Use `file.session_id ?? output.artifact.session_id` (per-file id with
artifact-level fallback for older worker payloads).

**2) `primeFiles` reupload pushed STALE sandbox ids (`process.js`).**
When `getSessionInfo` returns null (file expired/missing in sandbox),
`reuploadFile` re-uploads via `handleFileUpload`, gets a NEW
`fileIdentifier`, and persists it on the DB record. But `pushFile`
was a closure capturing the OLD `(session_id, id)` parsed at the top
of the loop, so the in-memory `files[]` array (now consumed by
`buildInitialToolSessions` to seed `Graph.sessions`) silently
referenced a sandbox object that no longer existed. The first tool
call would 404 trying to mount it; only the next turn's metadata
re-read would correct course. Parameterize `pushFile` with optional
`(session_id, id)` overrides; in `reuploadFile` parse the new
identifier and pass through. 2 regression tests.

**3) Codex P2 — Cap sandbox fallback output before line-numbering
(`handlers.ts`).** The new `handleSandboxFileFallback` returned
`addLineNumbers(result.content)` without a size guard, so reading a
multi-MB `/mnt/data/*` artifact materialized the file twice in
memory (raw + line-numbered) before downstream truncation. Match the
existing skill-file path's `MAX_READABLE_BYTES` (256KB): truncate
raw first, then number, surface the truncation to the model so it
can use `bash_tool` (`head` / `tail`) for the rest. 2 tests
(oversized truncates with hint, in-cap doesn't).

**4) Codex P2 — Dedupe seeded code files by `(session_id, id)`
(`codeFilesSession.ts`).** Multiple agents in a run commonly carry
the same primed execute-code resources (shared conversation files);
without dedupe, `_injected_files` grows proportionally to agent
count and bloats every `/exec` POST. Use a `(session_id, id)`
identity key so first-seen wins (preserves source ordering); name
alone isn't sufficient because two distinct primed uploads can
share a filename across different sessions. 4 tests covering dedup
across iterations, against pre-existing entries, name-collision
distinct-session preservation, and the multi-agent realistic case
in `buildInitialToolSessions`.

**5) Pass-N P2 — Polyfill `globalThis.File` in api Jest setup
(`api/test/jestSetup.js`).** `packages/api/jest.setup.cjs` had the
polyfill; the legacy api workspace's Jest config has its own
`setupFiles` that didn't, so on Node 18 / WSL the api focused tests
still failed at import time with `ReferenceError: File is not
defined` from undici. Mirror the polyfill.

Tests: 159 packages/api + 206 api JS = 365 pass. Typecheck clean.

d83cb84f59 🪆 feat: Subagent configuration in Agent Builder (#12725)
* 🪆 feat: Subagents configuration (isolated-context child agents)

Surfaces the new @librechat/agents `SubagentConfig` primitive in the Agent
Builder. Subagents let a supervisor delegate a focused subtask to a child
graph running in an isolated context window: verbose tool output stays in
the child, only a filtered summary returns to the parent.

Data model: new `subagents: { enabled, allowSelf, agent_ids }` on Agent,
wired through the Zod, Mongoose, and form schemas plus a new
`AgentCapabilities.subagents` capability (enabled by default).

Backend: `initialize.js` loads explicit subagent configs alongside handoff
agents, and drops subagent-only references from the parallel/handoff maps
so they don't leak into the supervisor's graph. `run.ts` emits
`SubagentConfig[]` on the primary `AgentInputs` — a self-spawn entry when
`allowSelf` is enabled plus one entry per configured agent.

UI: an "Advanced" panel section with an enable toggle, a self-spawn
toggle, and an agent picker (capped at 10). Enabling without adding
agents still yields self-spawn; disabling self-spawn with no agents shows
a warning. A capability flag gates the whole section.

* 🪆 feat: Stream subagent progress to UI (dialog + inline ticker)

Pairs with the @librechat/agents SDK change that forwards child-graph
events through the parent's handler registry (danny-avila/agents#107):

- Self-spawn and explicit subagents can now use event-driven tools,
  because child `ON_TOOL_EXECUTE` dispatches reach our ToolService via
  the parent's registered handler.
- The same forwarding path wraps the child's run_step / run_step_delta
  / run_step_completed / message_delta / reasoning_delta dispatches in
  a new `ON_SUBAGENT_UPDATE` envelope, with start/stop/error bookends.

Backend: `callbacks.js` registers an `ON_SUBAGENT_UPDATE` handler that
forwards each envelope straight to the SSE stream.

Frontend:
- `useStepHandler` consumes `ON_SUBAGENT_UPDATE` events and merges them
  into a per-tool_call Recoil atom (`subagentProgressByToolCallId`).
  First-seen `subagentRunId` claims the most-recent unclaimed `subagent`
  tool call in the active response message — a temporal mapping, no SDK
  wire-format change needed to correlate child runs with parent tool
  calls.
- New `SubagentCall` part component replaces the default `ToolCall`
  rendering when `toolCall.name === Constants.SUBAGENT`: compact status
  ticker showing the 3 most recent update labels, clickable to open a
  dialog with the full activity log + final markdown-rendered result.
- Adds `Constants.SUBAGENT`, `StepEvents.ON_SUBAGENT_UPDATE`, and
  `SubagentUpdateEvent` type in data-provider.

Tests:
- `packages/api npx jest run-summarization` — 23 pass
- `api npx jest initialize` — 16 pass
- `npm run build` — clean

Dependency note: bumps `@librechat/agents` to `^3.1.67-dev.1` — requires
the SDK PR (danny-avila/agents#107) to be merged to dev and published
before this PR merges. `ON_SUBAGENT_UPDATE` is absent from dev.0, so the
handler registration would be a no-op with the older SDK but would not
crash.

* 🪆 fix: address Codex review and review audit on subagents

Stacks on top of the SDK change in danny-avila/agents#107 (bumped to
`^3.1.67-dev.2`).

- **P1 (`initialize.js`)**: subagent-only agents were being deleted from
  both `agentConfigs` AND `agentToolContexts`. The tool-execute handler
  resolves execution context (agent, tool_resources, skill ACLs) from
  `agentToolContexts`, so explicit subagents would run without their
  configured resources and skip action tools. Now only `agentConfigs`
  is pruned — tool context stays intact.
- **P2 (`AgentSubagents.tsx`)**: toggling subagents off set the form
  field to `undefined`; `removeNullishValues` stripped it from the
  PATCH, leaving the server copy enabled. Now it persists an explicit
  `{ enabled: false, ... }` so the update actually clears state.

- **Finding 1 (MAJOR)** — `agent_ids` Zod schema gains `.max()` via a
  new `MAX_SUBAGENTS` export from `data-provider` (shared with the UI
  cap). Crafted payloads can't trigger hundreds of `processAgent`
  calls.
- **Finding 2 (MAJOR)** — `subagentProgressByToolCallId` atomFamily
  atoms are now tracked in a ref and reset from `clearStepMaps` via a
  `useRecoilCallback({ reset })`. No monotonic growth across a session.
- **Finding 3 (MAJOR)** — early-arriving `ON_SUBAGENT_UPDATE` events
  whose parent `tool_call_id` is not yet mapped are now buffered in
  `pendingSubagentBuffer` (keyed by `subagentRunId`) and replayed in
  arrival order once correlation completes. Mirrors the existing
  `pendingDeltaBuffer` pattern.
- **Finding 4 (MAJOR)** — switched to deterministic correlation via
  the new `parentToolCallId` that SDK `3.1.67-dev.2` threads through
  from `ToolRunnableConfig.toolCall.id`. Temporal fallback now iterates
  oldest-unclaimed-first (forward), matching tool-call creation order,
  so concurrent spawns map correctly.
- **Finding 6 (MINOR)** — `agent_ids` are deduped on the backend via
  `new Set(...)` before the load loop. Duplicates no longer produce
  duplicate `SubagentConfig` entries visible to the LLM.
- **Finding 7 (MINOR)** — events array inside each Recoil atom is
  capped at 200 entries. Long-running subagents no longer replay O(n)
  spreads on every update; the dialog log still shows the cap window.
- **Finding 8 (MINOR)** — documented: subagents are loaded only for
  the primary agent this release (handoff children get self-spawn but
  not explicit sub-subagents). In-code comment added so the next
  maintainer doesn't wonder.
- **Finding 9 (NIT)** — removed `{!isSubmitting && null}` dead code
  and the misleading announce-polite comment in `SubagentCall`.

- New `validation.spec.ts` — 9 tests covering the cap on
  `agent_ids.length` at the subagent schema, agent-create, and
  agent-update layers.
- `run-summarization` — 23 pass, `initialize` — 16 pass, total backend
  package: 103 pass across touched areas.

Findings 5 (component tests) and 10 (micro-allocation) are tracked
but deferred; the former needs a Recoil-RenderHook harness that isn't
in this PR's scope, and the latter has negligible impact (one `Array.from`
per subagent run).

* 🧪 test: integration coverage for subagent correlation + backend loading

Addresses the follow-up audit on #12725 with real-code tests (no mock
handlers, only the existing setMessages/getMessages spies and the
standard mongodb-memory-server harness).

Six new tests under a dedicated `describe('subagent loading')`:
- loads a configured subagent, populates `subagentAgentConfigs`, keeps
  it out of `agentConfigs`
- **P1 regression guard**: drives the real `toolExecuteOptions.loadTools`
  closure with the subagent id and asserts `loadToolsForExecution` is
  called with `agent: <subagent>`, `tool_resources`, `actionsEnabled`.
  If anyone deletes `agentToolContexts` again, this fails.
- dedup: three copies of the same id load the agent once
- overlap: agent referenced both as handoff target and subagent stays in
  `agentConfigs`
- capability gate: admin disabling `subagents` suppresses loading even
  when the agent has a config
- per-agent disable: `subagents.enabled: false` skips loading entirely

Five new tests under `describe('on_subagent_update event')` using a
real `RecoilRoot` and a companion `useRecoilCallback` reader so writes
from the hook are observable:
- deterministic correlation via `parentToolCallId` (happy path with
  SDK dev.2+)
- fallback: oldest-unclaimed tool call wins for concurrent spawns
  without `parentToolCallId`
- early-arrival buffer: updates with no mapping get buffered and
  replayed once the tool call appears
- event cap: 205 updates collapse to 200 retained, oldest dropped
- `clearStepMaps` resets tracked atoms back to their null default

- F2 — added explicit `// TODO` marker for handoff-subagent-loading
  extension (matches the comment that referenced it).
- F3 — dropped the unnecessary `MAX_SUBAGENTS as MAX_SUBAGENTS_CAP`
  alias; just import the constant directly.
- Bumped `@librechat/agents` to `^3.1.67-dev.3` to pick up the SDK's
  paired test additions.

- `api/server/services/Endpoints/agents/initialize.spec.js` — 22 pass
  (6 new + 16 existing)
- `packages/api/src/agents/validation.spec.ts` +
  `run-summarization.test.ts` — 103 pass
- `client/src/hooks/SSE/__tests__/useStepHandler.spec.ts` — 48 pass
  (5 new + 43 existing)

* 🪆 fix: strip parent run summary + discovered tools from subagent inputs

Codex P1 on #12725: `buildSubagentConfigs` reused the shared
`buildAgentInput` factory for each explicit child, and that factory
always stamps the parent run's `initialSummary` (cross-run conversation
summary) and `discoveredTools` (tool names the parent's LLM searched
earlier) onto every `AgentInputs` it returns. When subagents were
enabled on a conversation that had already been summarized, every
child inherited that summary — silently defeating the isolated-context
contract and burning extra tokens on unrelated prior chat.

Fix in `run.ts`: after `buildAgentInput(child)`, explicitly clear
`childInputs.initialSummary` and `childInputs.discoveredTools` before
attaching to the `SubagentConfig`. The parent keeps both — that's how
the supervisor receives cross-turn context — but the child starts
fresh.

Paired with danny-avila/agents#107 (bumped to `^3.1.67-dev.4`), which
adds the equivalent strip inside `buildChildInputs` to cover the
self-spawn path where the SDK clones parent `_sourceInputs` directly
and LibreChat never sees the intermediate shape. Belt and suspenders.

Regression test (new):
- `does NOT leak the parent run initialSummary into an explicit child
  (Codex P1 regression)` — sets `initialSummary` on the run, enables
  subagents with an explicit child, asserts the parent still has the
  summary but `childConfig.agentInputs.initialSummary` is `undefined`.
  Same for `discoveredTools`. 24 pass.

* 🪆 fix: capability gate applies to handoff agents + parallel subagent test

### Codex P2 — handoff agents kept `subagents` after capability disabled
The endpoint-level `AgentCapabilities.subagents` gate only cleared
`subagents` on `primaryConfig`. Handoff agents loaded into
`agentConfigs` retained their persisted `subagents.enabled: true`,
and because `run.ts` calls `buildSubagentConfigs` for every agent
input, self-spawn would still fire on a handoff target even when the
admin had disabled the capability globally.

Fix in `initialize.js`: after the subagent loading block, when the
capability is off, iterate `agentConfigs.values()` and clear
`subagents` + `subagentAgentConfigs` on every loaded config.

Regression test: `clears subagents on handoff agents too when
capability is disabled (Codex P2 regression)` — seeds a handoff target
with its own `subagents.enabled: true`, disables the capability at
the endpoint, asserts both primary AND handoff have `subagents`
undefined in the client args. 23 init tests pass.

### Parallel subagent correlation — user-requested verification
Added `keeps parallel subagent streams independent when events
interleave` to `useStepHandler.spec.ts`. Two `subagent` tool calls
seeded side by side, 6 interleaved `ON_SUBAGENT_UPDATE` envelopes
dispatched (a-start, b-start, a-step, b-step, a-stop, b-step), each
carrying its own `parentToolCallId`. Asserts each `tool_call_id`'s
Recoil bucket accumulates only its own run's events, statuses reflect
each run independently (`call_a` → stop, `call_b` → run_step), no
cross-contamination. 49 step-handler tests pass.

* 🪆 fix: SubagentCall detects cancelled / errored states (Codex P2)

Codex P2 on #12725: the old `running` check only consulted
`initialProgress` and the subagent's phase. A user stop, dropped
stream, or backend crash before a terminal `stop`/`error` envelope
arrived would leave the ticker permanently stuck on "working…". Other
*Call components (ToolCall.tsx) already model this via
`!isSubmitting && !finished` → cancelled.

Mirror that pattern. Re-introduce `isSubmitting` on `SubagentCallProps`
(the prop was dropped earlier as 'unused' — that was a bug) and resolve
status as a tri-state:

- `finished`  — initialProgress >= 1, or subagent `stop`/`error`
- `cancelled` — `!isSubmitting && !finished`
- `running`   — neither

New locale keys `com_ui_subagent_cancelled` + `com_ui_subagent_errored`
swap in the right header text per state.

Tests: new `SubagentCall.test.tsx` covers all four states with a real
`RecoilRoot` and a `useRecoilCallback` seeder — no mocked store — 5/5
pass. Includes an explicit P2 regression test that simulates the
`isSubmitting=false, progress.status='run_step', initialProgress<1`
scenario and asserts the cancelled label renders.

* 🪆 feat: semantic ticker + aggregated content-part dialog for subagents

Two rounds of feedback on #12725:

### Ticker — user-readable lines, not raw event names

The old ticker showed \`on_run_step\`, \`on_message_delta\`, etc. — not
meaningful to users. Replaced with \`buildSubagentTickerLines\`, a pure
helper that walks the \`SubagentUpdateEvent\` stream and emits:

- message/reasoning deltas → a single live "Writing: <last 60 chars>"
  (or "Reasoning: …") line that updates in place as chunks arrive
- run_step with tool_calls → "Using calculator(expression=42*58)" for
  a single call, "Using tool: a, b" for parallel (args dropped when
  multiple so the line stays short)
- run_step_completed → "calculator → 42*58 = 2436" (output truncated
  to 48 chars; falls back to "Tool X complete" when output is empty)
- error → "Error: <message>"
- start / stop / run_step_delta → suppressed (too granular / lifecycle-only)

Args and output pass through \`summarizeArgs\` / \`summarizeOutput\`
which flatten JSON to \`key=value\` pairs and head-truncate long
strings so a 200-line tool output never bloats the ticker.

### Dialog — aggregated content parts via leaf renderers

\`aggregateSubagentContent\` folds the raw event stream into
\`TMessageContentParts[]\` — text/reasoning delta streaks collapse into
single \`TEXT\` / \`THINK\` parts, tool calls become \`TOOL_CALL\` parts,
and \`run_step\` boundaries correctly break text runs around tool
calls. The dialog iterates those parts through a \`SubagentDialogPart\`
renderer that delegates to the existing \`Text\`, \`Reasoning\`, and
\`ToolCall\` leaf components — the same sub-components \`<Part />\` uses
— wrapped in a minimal \`MessageContext\` so reasoning expand state and
cursor animation work.

Leaf components are used directly rather than importing \`<Part />\`
itself to avoid a module cycle (Part → Parts/index → SubagentCall →
Part) and to sidestep a hypothetical nested-subagent rendering.

### Tests

- \`subagentContent.test.ts\` — 19 pure-function tests covering the
  aggregator (text concat, reasoning concat, tool call lifecycle,
  interleaving, phase suppression, late-arriving completions) and the
  ticker builder (live preview truncation, args/output snippets,
  parallel-call handling, output truncation, i18n formatter override).
- \`SubagentCall.test.tsx\` — 9 component tests: 5 status-resolution
  (existing) + 2 ticker (semantic text, delta collapse) + 2 dialog
  (aggregated parts routed to leaf renderers, raw-output fallback).

### Locale keys

New: \`com_ui_subagent_ticker_writing\`, \`…_reasoning\`, \`…_error\`,
\`…_using\`, \`…_using_with_args\`, \`…_tool_complete\`,
\`…_tool_output\`. Preserves i18n at the display layer while the
helper stays pure.

* chore: drop unused com_ui_subagent_activity_log locale key

The dialog no longer renders an "Activity log" section — the new
content-parts renderer replaced it. Also tweaks the dialog description
copy to match.

* 🪆 fix: subagent dialog order, persistence, auto-scroll, width

Follow-up pass addressing the four issues observed in real runs
against a live subagent-using parent.

### Aggregator ordering (reasoning appearing after text it preceded)

Reproducible pattern: LLM emits reasoning → text → tool call in that
order, but the dialog rendered text BEFORE reasoning in the content
array. Root cause: `aggregateSubagentContent` maintained `currentText`
and `currentThink` buffers in parallel and only flushed them at a
`run_step` boundary in a fixed (text, think) order, losing the actual
arrival order.

Fix: when a text chunk arrives, close any open think buffer first
(pushes it into the content array right then); symmetric for think →
text. Two new regression tests cover the exact reasoning → text →
tool_call sequence from the screenshot and the repeated
reasoning ↔ text flow across a turn.

### Content persists after completion (markdown not rendering when done)

`clearStepMaps` was calling `resetSubagentAtoms()` at stream end,
which wiped every `subagentProgressByToolCallId` entry. Once reset,
`contentParts.length === 0` and the dialog fell back to rendering the
raw `output` string with plain text — hence the literal `##`/`**` in
the completed-state screenshot. Stopped resetting; the atoms are
bounded per-call (200-event cap) and per-conversation (one per
subagent spawn) so growth matches the rest of the conversation state.
`resetSubagentAtoms` is kept for a future conversation-switch caller.

Also: routed the raw-`output` fallback (older subagent runs recorded
before the event forwarder existed) through the same
`SubagentDialogPart` → `Text` leaf that content parts use, so its
markdown renders the same way.

### Auto-scroll to bottom while running

Added a `scrollRef` on the dialog body and a `useEffect` that pins
`scrollTop = scrollHeight` while the dialog is open AND the subagent
is running. Triggers on `contentParts.length` (new tool calls / part
boundaries) and `events.length` (intra-part deltas) so the cursor
tracks text streaming. Disabled post-completion so re-opening a
finished run doesn't yank to the bottom.

### Wider dialog

Went from `max-w-2xl` (42rem / 672px — too cramped on maximized
laptop windows) to `w-[min(95vw,64rem)] max-w-[min(95vw,64rem)]`.
Narrow on phones, scales up to 64rem on desktop, always leaves a bit
of margin from the viewport edge. Bumped `max-h-[65vh]` on the scroll
area to give the extra width room to breathe vertically too.

### Tests

- `subagentContent.test.ts` — 21 pass (2 new ordering regressions).
- `useStepHandler.spec.ts` — 49 pass (1 updated to assert atoms are
  *preserved* on clearStepMaps).
- `SubagentCall.test.tsx` — 9 pass (unchanged; aggregator-level tests
  cover the ordering).

* 🪆 feat: persist subagent_content via SDK createContentAggregator

Per-request map of createContentAggregator instances keyed by the
parent's tool_call_id. ON_SUBAGENT_UPDATE handler feeds each event
into the matching aggregator (phase → GraphEvent mapping); AgentClient
harvests contentParts onto the subagent tool_call at message save so
the child's reasoning / tool calls / final text survive a page refresh.

Reusing the SDK's battle-tested aggregator instead of a bespoke one
keeps the persisted shape identical to the parent graph's output and
drops ~100 lines of custom aggregation code.

* 🪆 fix: incremental subagent aggregation + dialog render parity

**Disappearing tool_calls**: the Recoil atom trimmed events to a 200-long
rolling window, so verbose subagents could shed the `run_step` that
originally created a tool_call part — rebuilding content from the trimmed
window then produced only the surviving text/reasoning. Fix: fold each
envelope into `contentParts` incrementally in the atom as it arrives
(new `foldSubagentEvent` + cursor state). Event trim window now affects
only the ticker, never the dialog.

**Render parity**: dialog now applies `groupSequentialToolCalls` and
renders single parts through `Container` + grouped batches through
`ToolCallGroup` — same spacing and "Used N tools" collapsing the main
message view uses.

**Width**: `min(96vw, 80rem)` — wider on big screens, still responsive.

**Labels**: "Subagent: X" is jargon. Named subagents render as
`Running "{name}" agent` / `Ran "{name}" agent` (past tense on
completion); self-spawns use `Running subtask` / `Ran subtask` since
`Running "self" agent` reads badly.

* 🪆 polish: subagent dialog parity + agent avatar in header

**Labels**: drop "subtask" framing. Self-spawn shows `Running agent` /
`Ran agent` (past tense on completion); named subagents stay
`Running "X" agent` / `Ran "X" agent`.

**Dialog render parity**: stop wrapping every part in `Container`.
TEXT keeps its `Container` (gap-3 + `mt-5` sibling margin), THINK and
TOOL_CALL render bare so their own wrappers set the full-column width
the regular message view gives them — matches the main `<Part>` dispatch.
Outer scroll region now uses `px-4 py-3` padding and a
`max-w-full flex-grow flex-col gap-0` inner wrapper, mirroring the
`MessageParts` container the main conversation uses.

**Avatar**: header icon now renders the subagent's configured avatar
via `MessageIcon` when `useAgentsMapContext()` has the child agent,
falling back to the `Users` SVG (which keeps its running-state pulse).
Same icon-left-of-label pattern the tool UI uses.

* 🪆 polish: subagent group label, ticker throttle + tail-ellipsis, scroll button

**Grouped label**: ToolCallGroup now detects all-subagent batches and
labels them "Running N agents" / "Ran N agents" instead of "Used N
tools". Mixed batches keep the existing label. The tool-name summary
is suppressed for all-subagent groups (every entry dedupes to
"subagent", which adds nothing).

**Ticker width + tail-ellipsis**: raise the preview cap to 300 chars so
wide containers aren't half-empty, and flip the ticker `<li>` to
`dir="rtl"` so `text-overflow: ellipsis` clips the *oldest* characters
(visually the left edge) — the newest tokens stay pinned to the right
regardless of container width. Bidi lays out the Latin text LTR
internally, the rtl only affects which side gets the ellipsis.

**Throttle**: `useThrottledValue` hook (trailing-edge, 1.2s) smooths
the live `Writing: …` preview so tokens no longer strobe past the
eye faster than they can be read. Ref-based internals (not `useState`)
avoid infinite-update loops when the upstream value is a new-reference
each render; `NEGATIVE_INFINITY` sentinel ensures the very first value
passes through synchronously so tests and first paint aren't delayed.

**Scroll-to-bottom**: dialog tracks `isAtBottom` with a 120px
threshold; auto-scroll only engages when the user is already following
along, and a persistent jump-to-latest button appears whenever they
scroll up — no more fighting the auto-scroll to read back.

* 🪆 polish: snappier ticker, prefix-safe labels, agents icon, readable lines

**Ticker lines are now incrementally aggregated in the atom** — same
pattern as contentParts. The raw-events rolling window is gone; event
volume no longer caps what the ticker can display. Verbose subagents
that used to drop early tool_call lines out of the window now keep the
full 3-line history (using_tool, tool_complete, writing).

**Discriminated-union ticker lines** split a constant prefix (e.g.
"Writing:") from a tail-truncatable body. The prefix lives in a
`shrink-0` span so it never gets clipped when the body overflows; the
body uses `dir="rtl"` only on itself — scoped so non-streaming lines
(e.g. "Waiting for first update…") can't get their trailing ellipsis
flipped by bidi.

**Content-aware throttle**: 800ms interval (down from 1200ms), skipped
entirely while the live buffer is below 120 chars. Early tokens now
appear immediately — no more "Reasoning: I" sitting blank for a full
second before the next heartbeat. Once the preview is long enough to
fill the container, throttling kicks in at the tighter interval.

**Header label** is now a constant verb + optional muted sub-label.
Base reads "Running agent" / "Ran agent" / "Cancelled agent" / "Agent
errored" for every subagent; named subagents get the configured agent
name rendered to the right in secondary text (self-spawns and
unresolved names omit it — "Running self agent" is nonsense).

**ToolCallGroup** now detects `allSubagents` and swaps `StackedToolIcons`
for a single `Users` glyph — otherwise the group header shows a wrench
("tool") icon next to "Ran 5 agents", which reads wrong.

* 🪆 feat: delimiter-aware tool labels in ticker + full-width tool lines

New shared `parseToolName` helper in `client/src/utils/toolLabels.ts`
— single source of truth for splitting `<tool>_mcp_<server>` ids and
mapping native tool names (web_search, execute_code, …) to their
friendly translation keys. `ToolCallGroup` drops its inline copy and
pulls from this helper.

Ticker tool lines now use the shared parser + a new `ToolIdentifier`
sub-renderer so the live log reads like the main tool UI:

  - MCP tool  → `<server> · <code-badge:tool>` (e.g. "github · `search_code`")
  - Native   → friendly name from `TOOL_FRIENDLY_NAME_KEYS`
  - Unknown  → bare `<code>` badge of the raw id

The `using_tool` / `tool_complete` rows now render with a
`flex w-full items-baseline gap-1 overflow-hidden` layout matching
the writing/reasoning rows — they take the full container width
instead of collapsing to content size. Output snippets on
`tool_complete` get the same tail-side `dir="rtl"` ellipsis so the
newest characters stay flush-right when the container is narrow.

Dropped the now-unused template i18n keys
(`com_ui_subagent_ticker_using_with_args`,
`com_ui_subagent_ticker_tool_complete`,
`com_ui_subagent_ticker_tool_output`) in favor of tokens the JSX
composes structurally. Only English is touched per the project rule;
other locales follow externally.

* 🪆 fix: dialog scroll button + auto-scroll during streaming deltas

Two race/trigger bugs in the dialog's scroll behavior:

**Button never showed**: `addEventListener('scroll', …)` in a
`useEffect` ran before Radix's portal had actually committed the
scroll container, so `scrollRef.current` was still null — the listener
never attached, `isAtBottom` stayed stuck at its initial `true`, and
the jump-to-latest button was never rendered. Swap to React's
`onScroll` prop on the element itself so the handler wires up as part
of DOM commit, not a post-commit effect.

**Auto-scroll stalled during text streaming**: the pin-to-bottom
effect only re-fired on `contentParts.length` changes. Message/reasoning
deltas extend the last TEXT/THINK part's `.text` without changing the
array length — so the view would drift up as tokens piled in and
never catch back up. Replace the length-dep effect with a
`ResizeObserver` on the inner content div; every height change (new
part or in-place growth) triggers a scroll-pin when the user is still
at the bottom.

* 🪆 fix: drop leading ellipsis from ticker body

truncatePreview was prepending ... to the tail when the buffer
exceeded 300 chars. The component's CSS already produces a left-side
ellipsis for overflow via dir=rtl + text-overflow: ellipsis — stacking
a data-level ellipsis on top renders a stray dot character right after
the Writing: / Reasoning: label (Writing: .Sure!), which looks like a
typo to the reader.

Data now returns just the last 300 chars when truncating; CSS handles
the visual cue whenever the body actually overflows its container.

* 🪆 fix: Codex review — subagent isolation + concurrent-safe throttle

Three findings from the @codex review pass, all valid:

**P1 — buildAgentInput leaks parent discovered-tool state into subagent
children.** `buildAgentInput` mutates `agent.toolRegistry`
(`overrideDeferLoadingForDiscoveredTools` flips `defer_loading:true→false`
on tools the parent previously searched for) and appends those tools'
definitions to the returned `toolDefinitions` before the function
returns. `buildSubagentConfigs` was clearing the reported
`initialSummary` / `discoveredTools` fields on the returned
AgentInputs, but that happened post-return — the registry writes and
extra tool definitions persisted on the child, silently defeating
context isolation and inflating the child's prompt.

Fix: `buildAgentInput` now takes an `isSubagent` flag that gates the
registry-mutation block and omits `initialSummary` /
`discoveredTools` at the source. `buildSubagentConfigs` passes
`{ isSubagent: true }` for every explicit child; no post-hoc cleanup
needed.

**P2 — ToolCallGroup labels a finished subagent group as still
running when the child returned no output.** `getToolMeta` computed
`hasOutput` as `!!tc.output`, which is `false` for a completed
subagent that returned empty text (the UI already has an "empty
result" fallback for that case). `allCompleted` would stay `false`
and the group header stuck on "Running N agents" forever.

Fix: treat `tc.progress === 1` as completion too — progress is the
authoritative lifecycle signal, output is just content.

**P2 — useThrottledValue schedules `setTimeout` during render.**
Discarded renders under Strict Mode / Concurrent rendering would
leave orphan timers firing against stale trees.

Fix: move `setTimeout` into a `useEffect` keyed on `[value, intervalMs,
enabled]`. Render-time still mutates refs (idempotent), but timer
scheduling lives post-commit. Cleanup on unmount and on passthrough
transitions is preserved.

* 🪆 fix: Codex P2 — wipe subagent atoms on conversation switch

`clearStepMaps()` intentionally doesn't reset `subagentProgressByToolCallId`
so a user can reopen a completed subagent's dialog mid-conversation,
but `resetSubagentAtoms` was defined and never exposed / called —
so each completed run's aggregated `contentParts` + `tickerState`
stayed resident in the `atomFamily` for the whole app session.
Unbounded growth across multi-conversation sessions.

Expose `resetSubagentAtoms` from `useStepHandler` and fire it from
`useEventHandlers` whenever the URL's `conversationId` changes.
That's the correct cleanup boundary: historical subagent dialogs
rehydrate from persisted `subagent_content` on each `tool_call` at
message-save time, so wiping live atoms on switch doesn't lose any
viewable history — it just releases per-tool-call state that the
old conversation's components no longer subscribe to.

* 🪆 fix: Codex round 3 — subagent registry isolation + post-run label

Two more valid findings.

**P1 — parent-order registry mutation leaks into subagent inputs.**
`overrideDeferLoadingForDiscoveredTools` mutates `agent.toolRegistry`
in place (the Map *and* the LCTool objects inside it). When an agent
appears both as a handoff target (normal graph node) AND an explicit
subagent child, a subagent build that ran before the parent's build
captures a reference to the same registry — the parent's later mutation
leaks through to the child.

Fix: for subagent children (`isSubagent`), clone the `toolRegistry`
Map and shallow-clone each LCTool inside before returning the inputs.
`defer_loading` flips on parent-graph registry mutations can't
propagate across the clone boundary. `toolDefinitions` also gets a
shallow-copy pass so the same isolation holds for definitions the
child carries directly.

**P2 — "Running N agents" label stuck after cancel/error.**
ToolCallGroup's all-subagent label was gated only on `allCompleted`,
which requires every child to have `hasOutput || progress === 1`.
A subagent that gets cancelled (stream ends, no `stop` phase, no
output) never satisfies that — so even after `isSubmitting` flips
false, the header stays on "Running N agents" while each individual
card correctly shows "Cancelled agent".

Fix: derive a `subagentsDone` flag as `allCompleted || !isSubmitting`
and gate the past-tense label on that. Matches the tri-state each
SubagentCall card already resolves (finished / cancelled / running).

* 🪆 fix: Codex P2 — ACL-check subagents.agent_ids on create/update

Codex flagged that `subagents.agent_ids` was accepted as arbitrary
strings on the create/update routes while `edges` got a
`validateEdgeAgentAccess` pass — so users could save subagent
references to agents they can't VIEW. At runtime `initializeClient`'s
`processAgent` ACL gate silently drops those, so the persisted
configuration and the actual behavior diverged in a way that is
difficult to diagnose.

Refactor: extract the id-set → unauthorized-ids check into a shared
`collectUnauthorizedAgentIds`, wrap it with a dedicated
`validateSubagentAccess`, and plumb the same 403-on-failure response
the edge path already returns. Applied on both POST /agents and
PATCH /agents/:id.

* 🪆 fix: Codex round 5 — ACL-disable escape hatch + ticker order

Two valid findings.

**P1 — can't disable subagents after losing access to a child.**
The subagent ACL check ran on every create/update that echoed back
the `agent_ids` list, even when the user was explicitly disabling
the feature. The UI keeps the list intact when toggling `enabled:
false`, so a user who subsequently lost VIEW on any child would be
locked in a 403 loop — every edit (including the one that turns
subagents off) bounces.

Fix: gate the ACL check on `subagents.enabled !== false` at both
the POST /agents and PATCH /agents/:id handlers. Empty list stays
a no-op. Disabling the feature is always permitted.

**P2 — ticker fold merges out-of-order previews across delta
switches.** `foldSubagentEventIntoTicker` carried `textLineIdx` /
`thinkLineIdx` across a reasoning → text → reasoning transition,
so the second reasoning chunk appended to the original reasoning
line instead of starting a new chronological one.

Fix: close the opposite buffer + cursor when a delta-type switch
is detected (same rule the content-parts reducer already applies).
Added a regression test.

* 🪆 fix: Codex round 6 — preserve mid-stream atoms + honor sequential suppression

Two valid findings.

**P2 — atom reset fires on initial chat URL assignment.**
`useEventHandlers` initialized `lastConversationIdRef` from the URL's
current `paramId`, then reset subagent atoms whenever the ref and
`paramId` disagreed. For a brand-new conversation the URL stamp goes
from `undefined → "abc123"` while the first response is still
streaming, which used to drop subagent ticker/content state mid-run
and leave dialogs missing earlier updates.

Fix: only reset when *both* the old and new IDs are non-null and
differ — i.e. a user-initiated switch between two established
conversations. The initial assignment passes through without
clearing.

**P2 — ON_SUBAGENT_UPDATE bypassed `hide_sequential_outputs`.**
Every other streaming handler in `callbacks.js`
(`ON_RUN_STEP`, `ON_MESSAGE_DELTA`, etc.) gates emission on
`checkIfLastAgent` + `metadata?.hide_sequential_outputs`, but the
subagent forwarder did an unconditional `emitEvent` — so intermediate
agents in a sequential chain were leaking their children's activity
to the client even when the chain was configured to suppress
intermediates.

Fix: accept `metadata` and apply the same `isLastAgent ||
!hide_sequential_outputs` gate. Aggregation still runs regardless of
visibility (persistence + dialog depend on it); only the SSE forward
is suppressed.

* 🪆 fix: Codex P2 — gate subagent ACL check on endpoint capability

`validateSubagentAccess` ran on every create/update where
`subagents.enabled !== false`, regardless of the endpoint-level
`subagents` capability. When the capability is off at the appConfig
level, `initializeClient` already strips the `subagents` block at
runtime — so persisted `agent_ids` are inert — but the validation
could still 403 on a legacy record whose referenced child is no
longer viewable, blocking unrelated edits.

Fix: add `isSubagentsCapabilityEnabled(req)` that reads the agents
endpoint's capabilities from `req.config` and gate both the create
and update ACL checks on it. Capability-off environments can update
agents with stale `subagents` data freely; capability-on keeps the
full ACL protection.

* 🪆 fix: Codex P2 — reset subagent atoms on id→null navigation too

Previous guard (both-established) skipped the reset whenever
`paramId` became null/undefined, so navigating from an existing
chat to a "new chat" route left stale subagent progress resident
in the `atomFamily` until the user picked a specific different
chat.

Swap the both-established check for a one-time flag: skip only the
very first `undefined → id` transition (the brand-new-chat URL
stamp that happens mid-stream), then reset on any subsequent
change — id→id, id→null, null→id-after-reset. If the user started
on an established chat the flag is true at mount, so the guard is
a no-op and every navigation resets normally.

* 🪆 fix: Codex round 9 — subagent persistence gate + handoff children

Two valid findings.

**P1 — hide_sequential_outputs also gates persistence.**
The previous fix gated the SSE forward on
`isLastAgent || !hide_sequential_outputs` but still ran the
per-tool-call `createContentAggregator` aggregation unconditionally.
`finalizeSubagentContent` would then attach the hidden intermediate
agent's child reasoning / tool output to the saved message, so a
page refresh could reveal activity that was intentionally suppressed
live. Move the visibility gate to the top of the handler — hidden
agents now skip both aggregation and emission, so
"hide_sequential_outputs" is a consistent "don't record" rule for
subagent traces.

**P2 — handoff agents' explicit subagents were silently dropped.**
`initializeClient` only resolved `subagentAgentConfigs` for the
primary config, so an agent used via handoff that had its own
`subagents.agent_ids` saved in the builder would get self-spawn
only; every explicit child was quietly ignored, creating a
saved-config / runtime mismatch the user couldn't diagnose.

Extract the resolution into a shared `loadSubagentsFor(config)`
helper and invoke it for the primary and every handoff agent in
`agentConfigs`. The `edgeAgentIds` precomputation stays outside
the helper (it's loop-invariant). Capability-off shortcuts return
empty early so the existing strip-on-capability-off path still
holds.

* 🪆 fix: Codex P2 — recursive subagent build for multi-level delegation

Previously only the outer `agents[]` loop attached `subagentConfigs`
to its inputs, so a child used as a subagent (invoked via the
`subagent` tool) lost every explicit spawn target of its own. A
user-valid configuration like A → B → C would only run the top
layer; B could never actually delegate to C from inside A's run.

Recursively build `subagentConfigs` for each child inside
`buildSubagentConfigs`, passing the child's freshly-constructed
`childInputs` down so its own `subagents.enabled` children get
resolved too. Added cycle protection via an `ancestors` Set — a
configuration like A → B → A is safely cut off at the second
encounter of A rather than recursing forever (the existing
`child.id === agent.id` guard already prevents the direct self-loop).

* 🪆 fix: Codex P2 — reset subagent atoms on useEventHandlers unmount

The effect that resets subagent atoms only fired on `paramId` change,
so unmounting the chat container (route change away from /c) never
flushed the atoms. `knownSubagentAtomKeys` lives in a ref inside
`useStepHandler` — once the hook unmounts the ref is gone, so a
subsequent remount can't clean atoms it never registered.

Added a second `useEffect` that only runs cleanup on unmount (empty
deps aside from the stable `resetSubagentAtoms` callback). Keeps
`atomFamily` bounded across full route teardowns too.

* 🪆 fix: Codex round 13 — cyclic subagent guard + prefer persisted

Two valid findings.

**P1 — cyclic subagent ref reloads the primary.** A configuration
like `A ↔ B` (B lists A as its own subagent) would send
`loadSubagentsFor` down a path that couldn't find A in
`agentConfigs` (the primary isn't stored there), so it called
`processAgent(A)` a second time. That inserts a fresh config for
the primary id, which downstream duplicates in
`[primary, ...agentConfigs.values()]` and can replace the primary's
tool context with the reloaded copy.

Fix: short-circuit when a subagent ref points back at
`primaryConfig.id` — reuse the already-loaded primary config.
Primary is always an edge id so no pruning bookkeeping needed.

**P2 — live atom preferred over canonical persisted trace.** The
dialog picked `progress.contentParts` ahead of
`persistedContent`, but the Recoil bucket is best-effort — after
a disconnect/reconnect it can be stale or partial. The server's
`subagent_content` on the `tool_call` is the canonical record
refreshed on sync. Preferring live could hide completed
tool/reasoning history that was actually persisted.

Fix: flip the preference order. Persisted wins when it's
non-empty; live covers the mid-stream window (before the parent
message saves, persisted is empty) and the older-runs fallback.
Updated the test that enforced the old order to lock the new
semantics in (separate mid-stream live-fallback assertion kept).

* 🪆 fix: Codex P2 — subagent atom reset rule simplified to 'leaving established id'

The `hasEstablishedConversationRef` + check for initial undefined→id
covered the first navigation but missed the equivalent mid-stream
URL stamp when a user goes from an existing chat to a new chat and
sends a message there (`id → null → newId`). The null → newId
transition was still hitting the reset branch and wiping the
in-flight subagent ticker/content for that first turn.

Simpler rule: only reset when the PREVIOUS paramId is an established
id. Every transition AWAY from an established chat clears (id→id2,
id→null, id→undefined); every transition FROM null/undefined passes
through (initial mount, new-chat URL stamp mid-stream). Drop the
`hasEstablishedConversationRef` machinery in favor of that single
condition.

* 🪆 fix: Codex P2 — match runtime's strict subagent enable check in ACL

Runtime (`initializeClient` + `run.ts`) treats `subagents?.enabled`
as a truthy predicate — `undefined`, `null`, missing, and `false`
all short-circuit. The ACL gate was using `!== false` which
accepted `undefined` / missing as "enabled" and could 403 a payload
whose subagent tool would be inert at runtime.

Swap both create and update to `enabled === true`. Only a strictly-
enabled payload triggers the ACL check; the disable path (`false`)
still passes through so a user who lost VIEW on a child can still
save the disable edit.

* 🪆 fix: Codex P2 — reject missing subagent references with 400

`validateSubagentAccess` collapsed through `collectUnauthorizedAgentIds`,
which returns an empty list for ids with no DB record — so typos and
references to deleted agents passed validation silently, and
`initializeClient` later dropped them at runtime. Saved config would
then list spawn targets that the backend never honored, a hard-to-
diagnose drift.

Refactor the helper into `classifyAgentReferences(ids, …)` which
returns `{ missing, unauthorized }` separately. `validateEdgeAgentAccess`
keeps its old semantics (missing is intentional — a self-referential
`from` names the agent being created). `validateSubagentReferences`
surfaces both buckets so the create/update handlers can 400 on
missing and 403 on unauthorized with distinct error messages and
`agent_ids` lists.

* 🪆 polish: tighten subagent dialog grid gap to gap-2

OGDialogContent's grid default is `gap-4`, which renders the title,
description, and scroll area as three visually separated panels.
Drop to `gap-2` so they read as one block.

* 🪆 polish: swap Subagents above Handoffs in Advanced panel

Subagents is the more common knob users reach for, so show it first.
Handoffs keep the same Controller wiring, just move below.

35bf04b26c 🧰 refactor: Unify code-execution tools (#12767)
* 🛠️ feat: Add registerCodeExecutionTools helper

Idempotently registers `bash_tool` + `read_file` in the run's tool
registry and tool-definition list via a registry `.has()` dedupe. Sets
up the single code-execution tool path shared by:

- `initializeAgent` (when an agent has `execute_code` in its tools and
  the capability is enabled for the run)
- `injectSkillCatalog` (when skills are active; unconditional read_file,
  bash_tool follows `codeEnvAvailable`)

Both callers reach the helper in the same initialization sequence, so
the second call becomes a no-op and exactly one copy of each tool
reaches the LLM — no more double registration for agents that combine
`execute_code` capability with active skills.

Unit-tested on a fresh run, idempotence (second call, overlap with
prior tooldefs, partial overlap), and the no-registry variant.

* 🔀 refactor: Route injectSkillCatalog bash_tool + read_file through registerCodeExecutionTools

The `skill` tool is still registered inline (it's skill-path-specific),
but `bash_tool` + `read_file` now flow through the shared idempotent
helper so a prior registration from the execute_code path doesn't
produce a duplicate copy later in the same run. Behavior preserved:

- `read_file` always registers when any active skill is in scope —
  manually-primed `disable-model-invocation: true` skills still need it
  to load `references/*` from storage.
- `bash_tool` follows `codeEnvAvailable` exactly as before.

Adds a test pinning the cross-call dedupe: when `injectSkillCatalog`
runs AFTER `registerCodeExecutionTools` has already seeded the registry
+ tool definitions with bash_tool/read_file, the resulting
`toolDefinitions` still contains exactly one copy of each.

* 🪄 feat: Expand `execute_code` tool name into bash_tool + read_file at initialize-time

When an agent's `tools` include `execute_code` and the `execute_code`
capability is enabled for the run, `initializeAgent` now registers
`bash_tool` + `read_file` via `registerCodeExecutionTools` before
`injectSkillCatalog`. The legacy `execute_code` tool definition is no
longer handed to the LLM — `execute_code` remains on the agent
document as a capability-trigger marker, but the runtime expands it
into the skill-flavored tool pair.

Call ordering matters: the `execute_code` registration runs BEFORE
`injectSkillCatalog`, so the skill path's own `registerCodeExecutionTools`
call inside `injectSkillCatalog` becomes a no-op via the registry's
`.has()` check. Exactly one copy of each tool reaches the LLM whether
the agent has:

- only `execute_code` (legacy path)
- only skills
- both

No data migration needed — `agent.tools: ['execute_code']` stays in
the DB unchanged; the expansion is a runtime operation.

Three tests cover the matrix: execute_code + capability on →
bash_tool + read_file registered; execute_code + capability off →
neither registered; no execute_code + capability on → neither
registered.

* 🗑️ refactor: Drop CodeExecutionToolDefinition from the builtin registry

Removes the legacy `execute_code` entry from `agentToolDefinitions` and
the corresponding import. With the initialize-time expansion in place,
nothing consults `getToolDefinition('execute_code')` for a tool schema
any more — the capability gate still filters on the string
`execute_code`, but the actual tool definitions the LLM sees come from
`registerCodeExecutionTools` (i.e. `bash_tool` + `read_file`).

`loadToolDefinitions` in `packages/api/src/tools/definitions.ts`
silently drops `execute_code` when it no longer resolves in the
registry — that's the expected path and is now covered by an updated
test. No caller of `getToolDefinition('execute_code')` expects a
non-undefined result after this change.

* 🔌 refactor: Read CODE_API_KEY from env for primeCodeFiles + PTC

Finishes the Phase 4 server-env-keyed rollout on the two remaining
`loadAuthValues({ authFields: [EnvVar.CODE_API_KEY] })` sites in
`ToolService.js`:

- `primeCodeFiles` (user-attached file priming on execute_code agents)
- Programmatic Tool Calling (`createProgrammaticToolCallingTool`)

Both now read `process.env[EnvVar.CODE_API_KEY]` directly, matching
`bash_tool`'s pattern. The per-user plugin-auth path is no longer
consulted for code-env credentials anywhere in the hot path — the
agents library owns the actual tool-call execution and also reads the
env var internally.

Priming still fires for existing user-file workflows so the legacy
`toolContextMap[execute_code]` hint ("files available at /mnt/data/...")
stays in the prompt; only the key lookup changed.

* 🔧 fix: Type the pre-seeded dedupe-test tools as LCTool

CI TypeScript type checks caught `{ parameters: {} }` in the new
cross-call dedupe test: `LCTool.parameters` is a `JsonSchemaType`,
not `{}`. Use `{ type: 'object', properties: {} }` and type the
local registry Map through the parameter-derived shape so the
pre-seeded values match what `toolRegistry.set` expects.

* 🛡️ fix: Run execute_code expansion before GOOGLE_TOOL_CONFLICT gate

Codex review caught a latent regression: the original Phase 8 placement
ran `registerCodeExecutionTools` after `hasAgentTools` was computed,
so an execute-code-only agent on Google/Vertex with provider-specific
`options.tools` populated would no longer trip `GOOGLE_TOOL_CONFLICT`
— the legacy `CodeExecutionToolDefinition` used to populate
`toolDefinitions` before the guard, but after dropping it from the
registry, `toolDefinitions` stayed empty until my expansion ran
downstream of the guard. Mixed provider + agent tools would silently
flow through to the LLM.

Fix moves the `execute_code` expansion to BEFORE `hasAgentTools`
computation. `bash_tool` + `read_file` now contribute to the check
the same way the legacy `execute_code` def did. Covered by a new
test that pins the Google+execute_code+provider-tools scenario —
the `rejects.toThrow(/google_tool_conflict/)` path would have
silently passed on the prior placement.

* 🔗 fix: Thread codeEnvAvailable through handoff sub-agents

Round-2 codex review caught the other half of the execute_code
expansion gap: `discoverConnectedAgents` omitted `codeEnvAvailable`
from its forwarded `initializeAgent` params, so handoff sub-agents
with `agent.tools: ['execute_code']` lost the `bash_tool` + `read_file`
registration (pre-Phase 8 the legacy `CodeExecutionToolDefinition`
would have landed in their `toolDefinitions` via the registry).

- Add `codeEnvAvailable?` to `DiscoverConnectedAgentsParams` and
  forward it verbatim on every sub-agent `initializeAgent` call.
- Update the three JS call sites that construct the primary's
  `codeEnvAvailable` (`services/Endpoints/agents/initialize.js`,
  `controllers/agents/openai.js`, `controllers/agents/responses.js`)
  to pass the same flag into `discoverConnectedAgents` — one
  authoritative source per request.
- Two regression tests in `discovery.spec.ts` pin the true/false
  passthrough so a future refactor that drops the param-forwarding
  surfaces immediately.

Left intentionally unchanged: `packages/api/src/agents/openai/service.ts`
(public API helper with no in-repo caller). External consumers of
`createAgentChatCompletion` who want code execution should pass a
`codeEnvAvailable`-aware `initializeAgent` via `deps` — documenting
the full public-API surface is out of scope for this Phase 8 PR.

* 🔗 fix: Thread codeEnvAvailable through addedConvo + memory-agent paths

Round-3 codex review caught the last two production `initializeAgent`
callers missing the Phase-8 capability flag:

- `api/server/services/Endpoints/agents/addedConvo.js` (multi-convo
  parallel agent execution). Added `codeEnvAvailable` to
  `processAddedConvo`'s destructured params and forwarded it into
  the per-added-agent `initializeAgent` call. Caller in
  `api/server/services/Endpoints/agents/initialize.js` passes the
  same `codeEnvAvailable` it computed for the primary.
- `api/server/controllers/agents/client.js` (`useMemory` — memory
  extraction agent). Computes its own `codeEnvAvailable` from
  `appConfig?.endpoints?.[EModelEndpoint.agents]?.capabilities` and
  forwards into `initializeAgent`. Memory agents rarely list
  `execute_code`, but if one does, pre-Phase 8 they got the legacy
  `execute_code` tool registered unconditionally — the passthrough
  restores parity.

With this, every production caller of `initializeAgent` explicitly
resolves the capability: main chat flow (primary + handoff), OpenAI
chat completions (primary + handoff), Responses API (primary + handoff),
added convo parallel agents, and memory agents. The one remaining
caller, `packages/api/src/agents/openai/service.ts::createAgentChatCompletion`,
is a public API helper with no in-repo consumer (external callers
must pass a capability-aware `initializeAgent` via `deps`).

* 🪤 fix: Remove duplicate appConfig declaration causing TDZ ReferenceError

The Responses API controller had TWO `const appConfig = req.config;`
bindings inside `createResponse`: one at the top of the function
(added by the Phase 4 `bash_tool` decouple) and one inside the try
block (added by the polish PR #12760). Because `const` is block-scoped
with a temporal dead zone, the inner redeclaration put `appConfig` in
TDZ for the entire try block, so any earlier reference inside the
try — notably `appConfig?.endpoints?.[EModelEndpoint.agents]?.allowedProviders`
at line 348 — threw `ReferenceError: Cannot access 'appConfig'
before initialization`. The error was silently swallowed by the
outer try/catch, leaving `recordCollectedUsage` unreached and the
six `responses.unit.spec.js` token-usage tests failing.

Removing the inner redeclaration fixes the six failing tests
(verified: 11/11 pass locally post-fix, 0 regressions elsewhere).
The outer function-scoped binding already provides `appConfig` to
every downstream reference.

* 🔗 fix: Thread codeEnvAvailable through the OpenAI chat-completion public API

Round-4 codex review (legitimate on the type-safety angle, even though the
runtime concern was already covered): the `createAgentChatCompletion`
helper defines its own narrower `InitializeAgentParams` interface locally,
and the type was missing `codeEnvAvailable`. External consumers who
supply a capability-aware `deps.initializeAgent` couldn't route
`codeEnvAvailable` through without a type-cast workaround.

- Widen the local `InitializeAgentParams` interface to include
  `codeEnvAvailable?: boolean` (matches the real
  `packages/api/src/agents/initialize.ts` type).
- Derive `codeEnvAvailable` inside `createAgentChatCompletion` from
  `deps.appConfig?.endpoints?.agents?.capabilities` (the same source
  the in-repo controllers use) and forward to `deps.initializeAgent`.
  Uses a string literal `'execute_code'` lookup so this file stays free
  of a `librechat-data-provider` import — keeping the dependency surface
  of the public helper minimal.

With this, external consumers of `createAgentChatCompletion` who pass
`appConfig` with the agents capabilities get `bash_tool` + `read_file`
registration automatically; consumers who don't pass `appConfig` retain
the existing "explicit opt-in" semantics (the flag stays `undefined`,
expansion is skipped).

* 🧹 chore: Review-driven polish — observability log, JSDoc DRY, test gaps, no-op allocation

Addresses the comprehensive review of PR #12767:

- **Finding #1** (MINOR, observability): `initializeAgent` now emits a
  debug log when an agent lists `execute_code` in its tools but the
  runtime gate is off (`params.codeEnvAvailable` !== true). The
  event-driven `loadToolDefinitionsWrapper` path doesn't log
  capability-disabled warnings, so without this the tool silently
  vanishes from the LLM's definitions with zero trace. Operators
  debugging "why isn't code interpreter working?" now get a signal at
  the initialize layer.

- **Finding #5** (NIT, allocation): `registerCodeExecutionTools` now
  returns the input `toolDefinitions` array by reference on the no-op
  path (both tools already registered by a prior caller in the same
  run) instead of allocating a fresh spread array every time. The
  common dual-call scenario — `initializeAgent` then
  `injectSkillCatalog` — saves one O(n) copy per request.

- **Finding #4** (NIT, DRY): Collapsed the duplicated 6-line JSDoc
  comment in `openai.js`, `responses.js`, and `addedConvo.js` into
  either a one-line `@see DiscoverConnectedAgentsParams.codeEnvAvailable`
  pointer (the two JS call sites) or a compact 3-line block referring
  back to the canonical source (addedConvo's @param).

- **Finding #2** (MINOR, test gap): Added
  `api/server/services/Endpoints/agents/addedConvo.spec.js` with three
  cases covering `codeEnvAvailable=true`, `codeEnvAvailable=false`,
  and omitted (undefined) passthrough. A future refactor that drops
  the param from destructuring now surfaces here instead of silently
  regressing multi-convo parallel agents with `execute_code`.

- **Finding #3** (MINOR, test gap): Added
  `api/server/controllers/agents/__tests__/client.memory.spec.js`
  pinning the capability-flag derivation that `AgentClient::useMemory`
  uses — six cases covering present/absent/null/undefined config shapes
  plus an enum-literal pin (`'execute_code'` / `'agents'`). Catches
  enum renames or config-path shifts that would otherwise silently
  strip `bash_tool` + `read_file` from memory agents.

Finding #7 (jest.mock scoping, confidence 40) left as-is: the
reviewer's own risk assessment noted `buildToolSet` doesn't touch
the mocked exports, and restructuring a file-level `jest.mock` to
`jest.doMock` + dynamic `import()` introduces more complexity than
the speculative risk justifies. The existing mock is scoped to the
test file and contains the same stubs the adjacent
`skills.test.ts` already uses.

Finding #6 (PR description commit count) addressed out-of-band via
PR description update.

All existing tests pass, typecheck clean, lint clean across touched
files. New tests: 9 cases across 2 new spec files.

* 🧽 refactor: Replace hardcoded 'execute_code' string with AgentCapabilities enum in service.ts

Follow-up review (conf 55) caught that `openai/service.ts`'s Phase 8
`codeEnvAvailable` derivation used the literal `'execute_code'` while
every in-repo controller uses `AgentCapabilities.execute_code` from
`librechat-data-provider`. The file deliberately uses local type
interfaces to keep the public API helper's type surface small, but
that pattern was never a ban on single-value imports from the data
provider — `packages/api` already depends on it. Importing the enum
value means a future rename of `AgentCapabilities.execute_code`
propagates to this file automatically, matching the in-repo
controllers' behavior.

Other follow-up findings left as-is per the reviewer's own verdict:

- #2 (memory spec mirrors the production expression rather than
  calling `AgentClient::useMemory` directly): reviewer flagged as
  "not blocking" / "design-philosophy observation." The test file's
  JSDoc already explicitly documents the tradeoff and pins the enum
  literals to catch the most likely drift vector. Standing up
  `AgentClient` + all its mocks for a one-line regression guard is
  disproportionate.
- #3 (`addedConvo.spec.js` mock signature vs. underlying
  `loadAddedAgent` arity): reviewer's own confidence 25 noted the
  mock matches the wrapper's actual call pattern in the production
  file. Not a real gap.
- #4 was self-retracted as a false alarm.

* 🗑️ refactor: Fully deprecate CODE_API_KEY — remove all LibreChat-side references

The code-execution sandbox no longer authenticates via a per-run
`CODE_API_KEY` (frontend or backend). Auth moved server-side into the
agents library / sandbox service, so LibreChat drops every reference:

**Backend plumbing:**
- `api/server/services/Files/Code/crud.js`: `getCodeOutputDownloadStream`,
  `uploadCodeEnvFile`, `batchUploadCodeEnvFiles` no longer accept
  `apiKey` or send the `X-API-Key` header.
- `api/server/services/Files/Code/process.js`: `processCodeOutput`,
  `getSessionInfo`, `primeFiles` drop the `apiKey` param throughout.
- `api/server/services/ToolService.js`: stop reading
  `process.env[EnvVar.CODE_API_KEY]` for `primeCodeFiles` and PTC; the
  agents library handles auth internally. Remove the now-dead
  `loadAuthValues` + `EnvVar` imports. Drop the misleading
  "LIBRECHAT_CODE_API_KEY" hint from the bash_tool error log.
- `api/server/services/Files/process.js`: remove the `loadAuthValues`
  call around `uploadCodeEnvFile`.
- `api/server/routes/files/files.js`: code-env file download no longer
  fetches a per-user key.
- `api/server/controllers/tools.js`: `execute_code` is no longer a
  tool that needs verifyToolAuth with `[EnvVar.CODE_API_KEY]` — the
  endpoint always reports system-authenticated so the client skips
  the key-entry dialog. `processCodeOutput` called without `apiKey`.
- `api/server/controllers/agents/callbacks.js`: `processCodeOutput`
  invoked without the loadAuthValues round trip, for both LegacyHandler
  and Responses-API handlers.
- `api/app/clients/tools/util/handleTools.js`: `createCodeExecutionTool`
  called with just `user_id` + files.

**packages/api:**
- `packages/api/src/agents/skillFiles.ts`: `PrimeSkillFilesParams`,
  `PrimeInvokedSkillsDeps`, `primeSkillFiles`, `primeInvokedSkills` all
  drop the `apiKey` param; the gate is purely `codeEnvAvailable`.
- `packages/api/src/agents/handlers.ts`: `handleSkillToolCall` drops
  the `process.env[EnvVar.CODE_API_KEY]` read; skill-file priming is
  now gated solely on `codeEnvAvailable`. `ToolExecuteOptions`
  signatures drop apiKey from `batchUploadCodeEnvFiles` and
  `getSessionInfo`.
- `packages/api/src/agents/skillConfigurable.ts`: JSDoc no longer
  references the env var.
- `packages/api/src/tools/classification.ts`: PTC creation no longer
  gated on `loadAuthValues`; `buildToolClassification` drops the
  `loadAuthValues` dep entirely (no LibreChat-side callers need it for
  this path anymore).
- `packages/api/src/tools/definitions.ts`: `LoadToolDefinitionsDeps`
  drops the `loadAuthValues` field.

**Frontend:**
- Delete `client/src/hooks/Plugins/useAuthCodeTool.ts`,
  `useCodeApiKeyForm.ts`, and
  `client/src/components/SidePanel/Agents/Code/ApiKeyDialog.tsx` —
  the install/revoke dialogs for CODE_API_KEY are fully dead.
- `BadgeRowContext.tsx`: drop `codeApiKeyForm` from the context type and
  provider. `codeInterpreter` toggle treated as always authenticated
  (sandbox auth is server-side).
- `ToolsDropdown.tsx`, `ToolDialogs.tsx`, `CodeInterpreter.tsx`,
  `RunCode.tsx`, `SidePanel/Agents/Code/Action.tsx` +`Form.tsx`: all
  API-key dialog trigger refs, "Configure code interpreter" gear
  buttons, and auth-verification plumbing removed. The
  "Code Interpreter" toggle is now a plain `AgentCapabilities.execute_code`
  checkbox — no key-entry gate.
- `client/src/locales/en/translation.json`: drop the three
  `com_ui_librechat_code_api*` keys and `com_ui_add_code_interpreter_api_key`.
  Other locales are externally automated per CLAUDE.md.

**Config:**
- `.env.example`: remove the `# LIBRECHAT_CODE_API_KEY=your-key` section
  and its header.

**Tests:**
- `crud.spec.js`: assertions flipped to pin "no X-API-Key header" and
  "no apiKey param".
- `skillFiles.spec.ts`: removed env-var save/restore; tests now pin
  that the batch-upload path is gated solely on `codeEnvAvailable` and
  that no apiKey is threaded through.
- `handlers.spec.ts`: same — just the `codeEnvAvailable` gate pins
  remain.
- `classification.spec.ts`: remove the two tests that asserted
  `loadAuthValues` was (not) called for PTC.
- `definitions.spec.ts`: drop every `loadAuthValues: mockLoadAuthValues`
  entry from the deps shape.
- `process.spec.js`: strip the mock of `EnvVar.CODE_API_KEY`.

**Comment hygiene:**
- `tools.ts`, `initialize.ts`, `registry/definitions.ts`: shortened
  stale comment references to "legacy `execute_code` tool" without
  naming the retired env var.

Tests verified: 678 packages/api tests pass, 836 backend api tests
pass. Typecheck clean, lint clean. Only remaining CODE_API_KEY
mentions in the code are two regression-guard assertions:
- `crud.spec.js`: pins "no X-API-Key header" stays absent.
- `skillConfigurable.spec.ts`: pins `configurable` never grows a
  `codeApiKey` field.

* 🧹 chore: Remove the last two CODE_API_KEY name mentions in LibreChat

Follow-up to the prior full deprecation commit: two tests still named
the retired identifier in their regression-guard assertions.

- `packages/api/src/agents/skillConfigurable.spec.ts`: drop the
  "does not inject a codeApiKey key" test. The `codeApiKey` field is
  gone from the production configurable shape, so an absence-assertion
  naming it re-introduces the retired identifier in code.
- `api/server/services/Files/Code/crud.spec.js`: rename the
  "without an X-API-Key header" case back to "should request stream
  response from the correct URL" and drop the
  `expect(headers).not.toHaveProperty('X-API-Key')` assertion. The
  surrounding request-shape checks (URL, timeout, responseType) still
  pin the behavior; the explicit header-absence line was named-after
  the deprecated contract.

Result: `grep -rn "CODE_API_KEY\|codeApiKey\|LIBRECHAT_CODE_API_KEY"`
against the LibreChat source tree returns zero hits. The only
remaining `X-API-Key` strings in this repo are on unrelated OpenAPI
Action + MCP server auth configurations, where the string is
user-facing config, not a LibreChat-owned identifier.

Tests: 677 packages/api pass (2 pre-existing summarization e2e failures
unrelated); 126 api-workspace controller/service tests pass.
Typecheck and lint clean.

* 🎯 fix: Narrow codeEnvAvailable to per-agent (admin cap AND agent.tools)

Before this commit, `codeEnvAvailable` was computed in the three JS
controllers as the admin-level capability flag only
(`enabledCapabilities.has(AgentCapabilities.execute_code)`) and passed
through `initializeAgent` → `injectSkillCatalog` / `primeInvokedSkills` /
`enrichWithSkillConfigurable` unchanged. A skills-only agent whose
`tools` array didn't include `execute_code` still got `bash_tool`
registered (via `injectSkillCatalog`) and skill files re-primed to the
sandbox on every turn — wrong, because the agent never opted in to
code execution.

**Fix:** `initializeAgent` now computes the per-agent effective value
once as `params.codeEnvAvailable === true && agent.tools.includes(Tools.execute_code)`,
reuses the same boolean for:

1. The `execute_code` → `bash_tool + read_file` expansion gate
   (previously already consulted `agent.tools`; now shares the single
   `effectiveCodeEnvAvailable` binding).
2. The `injectSkillCatalog` call (previously got the raw admin flag).
3. The returned `InitializedAgent.codeEnvAvailable` field (new, typed as
   required boolean).

**Controllers (initialize.js, openai.js, responses.js):** store
`primaryConfig.codeEnvAvailable` in `agentToolContexts.set(primaryId, ...)`,
capture `config.codeEnvAvailable` in every handoff `onAgentInitialized`
callback, and read it from the per-agent ctx inside the
`toolExecuteOptions.loadTools` runtime closure. The hoisted
`const codeEnvAvailable = enabledCapabilities.has(...)` locals in the
two OpenAI-compat controllers are gone — they were shadowing the
narrowed per-agent value.

**primeInvokedSkills:** `handlePrimeInvokedSkills` in
`services/Endpoints/agents/initialize.js` now uses
`primaryConfig.codeEnvAvailable` (per-agent, narrowed) instead of the
raw admin flag. A skills-only primary agent won't re-prime historical
skill files to the sandbox even when the admin enabled the capability
globally.

**Efficiency:** one extra `&&` in `initializeAgent`. No runtime hot-path
cost — the `includes()` scan on `agent.tools` was already happening for
the `execute_code` expansion gate; it's now just bound to a local. Tool
execution closures read `ctx.codeEnvAvailable === true` (property
access + strict equality, O(1)).

**Ephemeral-agent note:** per-agent narrowing is authoritative for both
persisted and ephemeral flows. The ephemeral toggle
(`ephemeralAgent.execute_code`) is reconciled into `agent.tools`
upstream in `packages/api/src/agents/added.ts`, so
`agent.tools.includes('execute_code')` is the single source of truth
by the time `initializeAgent` runs.

**Tests:** two new regression tests pin the narrowing contract:

- `initialize.test.ts` — four-quadrant matrix on
  `InitializedAgent.codeEnvAvailable` (cap on × agent asks, cap on ×
  doesn't ask, cap off × asks, neither). Catches future refactors that
  drop either half of the AND.
- `skills.test.ts` — `injectSkillCatalog` with `codeEnvAvailable: false`
  against an active skill catalog must NOT register `bash_tool` even
  though it still registers `read_file` + `skill`. This is the state
  a skills-only agent gets post-narrowing.

All 191 affected packages/api tests pass + 836 backend api tests pass.
Typecheck clean, lint clean.

* 🧽 refactor: Comprehensive-review polish — hoist tool defs, pin verifyToolAuth contract, doc appConfig

Addresses the comprehensive review of Phase 8. Findings mapped:

**#1 (MINOR): `verifyToolAuth` unconditional auth for execute_code**
- Added doc comment explicitly stating the deployment contract
  (admin capability → reachable sandbox; no per-check health probe
  to keep UI-gate queries O(1)).
- New `api/server/controllers/__tests__/tools.verifyToolAuth.spec.js`
  with 4 regression tests pinning the contract:
  1. `authenticated: true` + `SYSTEM_DEFINED` for execute_code.
  2. 404 for unknown tool IDs.
  3. `loadAuthValues` is never consulted (catches a future revert
     that would resurface the per-user key-entry dialog).
  4. Response `message` is never `USER_PROVIDED`.

**#2 (MINOR): `openai/service.ts` undocumented `appConfig` dependency**
- Expanded the `ChatCompletionDependencies.appConfig` JSDoc to spell
  out that omitting it silently disables code execution for agents
  with `execute_code` in their tools. External consumers of
  `createAgentChatCompletion` now have the contract documented at
  the type boundary.

**#5 (NIT): `registerCodeExecutionTools` re-allocates tool defs**
- Hoisted `READ_FILE_DEF` and `BASH_TOOL_DEF` to module-level
  `Object.freeze`d constants. The shapes derive entirely from
  static `@librechat/agents` exports, so a single frozen object per
  tool is safe to share across every agent init. Eliminates the
  ~4-property allocations on every call (including the common
  second-call no-op path).

**#6 (NIT): Verbose history-priming comment in initialize.js**
- Trimmed the 16-line `handlePrimeInvokedSkills` block to a 5-line
  summary with `@see InitializedAgent.codeEnvAvailable` pointer.
  The canonical narrowing explanation lives on the type; the
  controller comment is just the ACL-vs-capability rationale.

**Skipped:**

- #3 (memory spec tests a mirror function): reviewer self-dismissed
  as a design tradeoff; the enum-literal pin already catches the
  highest-risk drift vector.
- #4 (cross-repo contract for `createCodeExecutionTool`): user will
  explicitly install the latest `@librechat/agents` dev version
  once the companion PR publishes, so the version pin will be
  authoritative.
- #7 (migration/deprecation note for self-hosters): out of scope
  per user direction — release notes handle this.

Tests verified: 679 packages/api + 840 backend api tests pass.
Typecheck + lint clean.

* 🔧 chore: Update @librechat/agents version to 3.1.68-dev.1 across package-lock and package.json files

This commit updates the version of the `@librechat/agents` package from `3.1.68-dev.0` to `3.1.68-dev.1` in the `package-lock.json` and relevant `package.json` files. This change ensures consistency across the project and incorporates any updates or fixes from the new version.

91cd3f7b7c 🧽 refactor: Skills polish: precedence-aware body validation, controller drop logs, SkillPills rename (#12760)
Post-merge sanity-review cleanup on top of #12746:

- `createSkill` / `updateSkill` now parse SKILL.md body's always-apply
  status once and reuse it for both validation and derivation (was
  parsing the same YAML block twice per call).
- Body-inline `always-apply:` validation becomes precedence-aware: a
  caller sending an explicit top-level `alwaysApply` or a structured
  `frontmatter['always-apply']` no longer gets rejected for a typo in
  the body — the body value is never consulted at derivation time when
  a higher-precedence source wins. New tests cover the three relevant
  interactions (explicit+body-typo, frontmatter+body-typo, body-only
  typo still rejects).
- OpenAI and Responses controllers now emit a `logger.warn` when
  `injectSkillPrimes` drops always-apply primes to stay under
  `MAX_PRIMED_SKILLS_PER_TURN`. `injectSkillPrimes` already logs
  internally; the controller-level warn adds endpoint context so
  operators can identify which path hit the cap at a glance. Mirrors
  AgentClient's existing log.
- Rename `ManualSkillPills` → `SkillPills` (component + type + file +
  test + all JSDoc references). The component handles both manual and
  always-apply pills now; the original name was carried over from the
  manual-only Phase 3 and misleads new readers.
- Drive-by fix: declare `appConfig = req.config` at the top of
  `createResponse` in `responses.js` — it was used unqualified on
  lines 381/396, which silently evaluated to `undefined` (via optional
  chaining) and disabled the skills-capability check on the Responses
  endpoint. Pre-existing, surfaced by lint on the touched file.

dfc3dfa57f 📍 feat: always-apply frontmatter: auto-prime skills every turn (#12746)
* 🔁 refactor: Rebase always-apply work onto merged structured-frontmatter columns

Phase 6 (disable-model-invocation / user-invocable / allowed-tools)
landed first on feat/agent-skills. Reconcile this branch with the new
mainline:

- Thread alwaysApplySkillPrimes through unionPrimeAllowedTools alongside
  manualSkillPrimes, applying the combined MAX_PRIMED_SKILLS_PER_TURN
  ceiling before loading tools.
- Add `_id` to ResolvedAlwaysApplySkill to match Phase 6's
  ResolvedManualSkill shape (read_file name-collision protection).
- Register 'always-apply' in ALLOWED_FRONTMATTER_KEYS / FRONTMATTER_KIND
  so Phase 6's validator recognizes it.
- Drop frontmatter from the listSkillsByAccess projection; the backfill
  helper remains as defensive code but its read path is no longer
  exercised on summary rows (no legacy rows exist — the branch never
  shipped), saving ~200KB per page.
- Retire the corresponding "backfills legacy on summaries" test.
- Plumb listAlwaysApplySkills through the JS controllers + endpoint
  initializer so the always-apply resolver sees a real DB method.

* 🧹 fix: Dedupe manual/always-apply overlap, share YAML util, tidy comments

Addresses review findings:

- Cross-list dedup: when a user $-invokes a skill that is also marked
  always-apply, the always-apply copy is now dropped so the same
  SKILL.md body never primes twice in one turn. Manual wins (explicit
  intent, closer to the user message). Dedup runs in both
  initializeAgent (so persisted user-bubble pills stay in sync) and
  injectSkillPrimes (defense-in-depth at splice time). New test cases
  cover single-overlap, partial-overlap, and dedup-before-cap.
- DRY: extract stripYamlTrailingComment to
  packages/data-schemas/src/utils/yaml.ts; packages/api/src/skills/import.ts
  now imports the shared helper. Also drop the redundant inner
  stripYamlTrailingComment call inside parseBooleanScalar — the call
  site already strips.
- Mark injectManualSkillPrimes as @deprecated in favor of
  injectSkillPrimes (kept for external consumers of @librechat/api).
- Document SKILL_TRIGGER_MODEL as forward-looking plumbing for the
  model-invoked path rather than leaving it as a bare unused export.
- Replace the stale "frontmatter is included" comment on
  listSkillsByAccess with an accurate explanation of why it was
  intentionally excluded.

* 🔒 fix: Include always-apply primes in skillPrimedIdsByName + clear alwaysApply on body opt-out

Two bugs flagged by Codex review:

P1 (read_file): `manualSkillPrimedIdsByName` only carried manual-invocation
primes, so an always-apply skill with `disable-model-invocation: true`
was blocked from reading its own bundled files, and same-name collisions
could resolve to a different doc than the one whose body got primed.
- Rename `buildManualSkillPrimedIdsByName` → `buildSkillPrimedIdsByName`
  (accepts both manual + always-apply prime arrays).
- Rename the configurable field `manualSkillPrimedIdsByName` →
  `skillPrimedIdsByName` throughout the plumbing (skillConfigurable.ts,
  handlers.ts, CJS callers, tests).
- Overlap resolution: manual wins on the rare edge case where the same
  name appears in both arrays (upstream dedup should prevent this, but
  defensive merging treats manual as authoritative).
- New tests: (1) gate-relaxation fires for always-apply primes, (2) `_id`
  pinning works for always-apply same-name collisions.

P2 (updateSkill): when a body update had no `always-apply:` key,
`extractAlwaysApplyFromBody` returned `absent` and the column was left
untouched. A skill that was once `alwaysApply: true` would keep
auto-priming even after its SKILL.md no longer declared the flag.
- Treat `absent` as a positive "not always-apply" declaration when the
  body is explicitly submitted; flip the column to `false`.
- Explicit top-level `alwaysApply` still wins (three-source precedence
  unchanged).
- New tests: body removes key → false, body has no frontmatter at all →
  false, explicit + body-without-key → explicit wins.

* 🧵 refactor: Collapse duplicate prime types + tighten parse + test hygiene

Sanity-check review follow-ups:

- Collapse `ResolvedManualSkill` / `ResolvedAlwaysApplySkill` into a
  single `ResolvedSkillPrime` canonical interface with two backward-
  compatible type aliases. Both resolvers feed the same pipeline stages
  (injectSkillPrimes, unionPrimeAllowedTools, buildSkillPrimedIdsByName);
  the per-source distinction lives on `additional_kwargs.trigger`, not
  on the resolver output.
- Move the `always-apply` branch in `parseFrontmatter` to operate on the
  raw post-colon text. The outer `unquoteYaml` was fine today because
  it's idempotent on non-quoted strings, but running it twice (once per
  line, once after stripping the inline comment) would be fragile if the
  unquoter ever grows richer YAML-escape handling.
- Add the missing `alwaysApplyDedupedFromManual: 0` field to the
  `injectSkillPrimes` mocks in `openai.spec.js` and `responses.unit.spec.js`
  so they match the full `InjectSkillPrimesResult` contract.
- Insert the blank line between the `unionPrimeAllowedTools` and
  `resolveAlwaysApplySkills` describe blocks.

* 🔧 fix(tsc): Cast mock.calls via `unknown` for strict tuple destructure

`getSkillByName.mock.calls[0]` is typed as `[]` by jest's generic default;
a direct cast to `[string, ..., ...]` fails TS2352 under `--noEmit` even
though the runtime shape matches. Go through `as unknown as [...]` like
the earlier test in the same file so CI's type-check step stays green.

* 🪢 fix: Propagate skillPrimedIdsByName into handoff agent tool context

Handoff agents go through the same `initializeAgent` flow as the primary
(with `listAlwaysApplySkills` now plumbed), so they resolve their own
`manualSkillPrimes` and `alwaysApplySkillPrimes` — but the
`agentToolContexts.set(...)` for handoff agents didn't carry
`skillPrimedIdsByName` into the per-agent context.

That meant `handleReadFileCall` fell back to the full ACL set + a
`prefer*` flag for handoff agents: same-name collisions could resolve to
a different doc than the one whose body got primed, and a
`disable-model-invocation: true` skill primed via manual `$` or
always-apply inside the handoff flow would be blocked from reading its
own bundled files.

Build the map via `buildSkillPrimedIdsByName(config.manualSkillPrimes,
config.alwaysApplySkillPrimes)` for every handoff tool context so
`read_file` behaves identically across primary and handoff agents.

539c4c7e4d 🎬 feat: Prime Manually-Invoked Skills via $ Popover (#12709)
* 🎬 feat: Prime Manually-Invoked Skills via $ Popover

Lands the backend for manual skill invocation, making the $ popover
deterministically prime SKILL.md before the LLM turn instead of leaving
the model to discover the skill via the catalog.

Flow: popover drains pendingManualSkillsByConvoId on submit, attaches
names to the ask payload, controllers forward to initializeAgent, and
initialize resolves each name to its body (ACL + active-state filtered,
reusing the same rules as catalog injection). AgentClient splices the
primes as meta HumanMessages before the user's current message.

- Extract primeManualSkill / resolveManualSkills in packages/api/src/agents/skills.ts
  and reuse primeManualSkill inside handleSkillToolCall for a single shape source.
- Thread manualSkills + getSkillByName through InitializeAgentParams / DbMethods
  and all three initializeAgent call sites (initialize.js, responses.js, openai.js).
- Splice HumanMessage primes in client.js chatCompletion after formatAgentMessages,
  shifting indexTokenCountMap so hydrate still fills fresh positions correctly.
- Carry isMeta / source / skillName in additional_kwargs for downstream filtering.

* 🛡️ fix: Scope manual skill primes to single-agent + cap resolver input

Two follow-ups to the Phase 3 priming path flagged in Codex review.

Multi-agent runs: skipping the splice when agentConfigs is non-empty.
`initialMessages` is shared across every agent in `createRun`, so splicing
a skill body there would bypass Phase 1's per-agent `scopeSkillIds`
contract — a handoff / added-convo agent with a different skill scope
would see content its configuration excludes. Warn + skip is the minimal
correct behavior; lifting this to per-agent initial state is a follow-up.

Input bounding: `resolveManualSkills` now truncates to `MAX_MANUAL_SKILLS`
(10) after dedup, with a warn listing the dropped tail. Controllers only
validate `Array.isArray(req.body.manualSkills)`, so a crafted payload
could otherwise fan out into an unbounded `Promise.all` of concurrent
`getSkillByName` DB lookups. Cap lives in the resolver so every caller
(including future `always-apply` in Phase 5) inherits it.

* 🧪 refactor: Testable Helpers + Payload Validation for Manual Skill Primes

Follow-ups from the comprehensive review. No behavior change for the
happy path — these are architectural and defensive improvements that
shrink the JS surface in /api, tighten the request-body contract, and
cover the delicate splice logic with proper unit tests.

- Extract `injectManualSkillPrimes` into packages/api/src/agents/skills.ts
  so the message-array splice and `indexTokenCountMap` shift are unit-
  testable in TS. client.js now calls the helper. Tests pin the `>=`
  vs `>` boundary condition — a regression here would silently corrupt
  token accounting for every message after the insertion point.
- Extract `extractManualSkills(body)` and use in all three controllers
  (initialize.js, responses.js, openai.js). Replaces copy-pasted
  `Array.isArray(...) ? ... : undefined` with a helper that also filters
  non-string / empty elements — closes a type-safety gap where a crafted
  payload like `{"manualSkills": [123, {"$gt":""}]}` would otherwise reach
  `getSkillByName` and waste DB round-trips.
- Rename `primeManualSkill` → `buildSkillPrimeMessage`. The helper serves
  three invocation modes (`$` popover, `always-apply`, model-invoked);
  the old name misled readers coming from `handleSkillToolCall`.
- Add `loadable.state === 'hasValue'` guard in `drainPendingManualSkills`
  — defensive, since the atom has a synchronous `[]` default, but the
  previous `.contents` cast would have been unsound under loading/error.
- Document why `resolveManualSkills` honors the active-state filter even
  for explicit `$` selections (Phase 2 popover filter + API-direct
  hardening).
- Remove stray `void Types;` in initialize.test.ts — `Types` is already
  consumed elsewhere in that test.

* 🔖 refactor: Single source for the skill-message source marker

Export `SKILL_MESSAGE_SOURCE = 'skill'` and use it in both construction
paths that stamp skill-primed messages — `buildSkillPrimeMessage` (for
the model-invoked tool path) and `injectManualSkillPrimes` (for the
user-invoked splice path). Downstream filtering and telemetry read this
marker, so the two paths must agree; keeping the literal in one place
removes the risk of them drifting when Phase 5's `always-apply` adds a
third caller.

* ♻️ refactor: Drop Multi-Agent Guard + Review Polish

- Remove the multi-agent skip in `AgentClient.chatCompletion`. Leaking
  primes to handoff / added-convo agents via shared `initialMessages` is
  the agents SDK's concern to scope; this layer should just inject and
  let the graph handle agent-scoped state. The guard was well-intended
  but produced a silent-drop UX where `$skill` in a multi-agent run did
  nothing.
- Bound the `[resolveManualSkills] Truncating ...` warn output to the
  first 5 dropped names plus a count suffix. A malicious payload of
  1000 names was previously spilling all ~990 names into the log line.
- Remove dead `?? []` from the `hasValue`-guarded loadable read in
  `drainPendingManualSkills` — the atom always yields a string[] when
  resolved, so the nullish fallback was unreachable.
- Reorder skills.ts imports to follow the style guide: value imports
  shortest-to-longest (`data-schemas` → `langchain/core/messages` →
  multi-line `@librechat/agents`), type imports longest-to-shortest.

* 🧠 fix: Strip Skill Primes from Memory Window + Unbreak CI Mocks

Two fixes after the last push.

CI unbreak: `responses.unit.spec.js` and `openai.spec.js` mock
`@librechat/api` and the mock didn't expose the new `extractManualSkills`
symbol, so every test in those files crashed before reaching the
`recordCollectedUsage` assertion. Added `extractManualSkills: jest.fn()`
returning `undefined` to both mocks; the controllers now no-op on
manualSkills as the tests expect.

Codex P2: `runMemory` passes `messages` straight through to the memory
processor, so after the splice in `injectManualSkillPrimes`, SKILL.md
bodies ride along as if they were real user chat. That pollutes memory
extraction with synthetic instruction content and crowds out real turns
from the window.

- Export `isSkillPrimeMessage(msg)` from `packages/api/src/agents/skills.ts`
  — a predicate keyed on the shared `SKILL_MESSAGE_SOURCE` marker.
- Filter `chatMessages = messages.filter(m => !isSkillPrimeMessage(m))`
  at the top of `runMemory` before the window-sizing logic. Keeps the
  primes visible to the LLM (they still ride in `initialMessages`) but
  invisible to the memory layer.
- 5 new tests for the predicate covering marker-present, plain messages,
  different source, non-object inputs, and array filter integration.

* 📜 feat: Show Skill-Loaded Cards for Manually-Invoked Skills

The $ popover was priming SKILL.md bodies into the turn but leaving no
visible trace on the assistant response — from the user's view it looked
like the `$name ` cosmetic text did nothing. Now each manually-invoked
skill renders the same "Skill X loaded" tool-call card that model-invoked
skills already produce via PR #12684's SkillCall renderer.

Approach: post-run prepend to `this.contentParts`. The aggregator owns
per-step indices during the run, so pre-seeding collides; waiting until
`await runAgents(...)` returns lets the graph settle before synthetic
parts slot in at the front.

- Export `buildSkillPrimeContentParts(primes, { runId })` from
  `packages/api/src/agents/skills.ts`. Returns completed tool_call parts
  (`progress: 1`, args JSON-encoded with `{skillName}`, output matching
  the model-invoked path's wording) that the existing `SkillCall.tsx`
  renderer draws identically.
- In `AgentClient.chatCompletion`, prepend the built parts to
  `this.contentParts` immediately after `await runAgents`. Persistence
  and the final-event reconcile come for free — `sendCompletion` already
  reads `this.contentParts` verbatim.
- Card ordering: skills appear first in the assistant message, reflecting
  that priming ran before the LLM's turn.

Live-during-streaming cards are a separate follow-up — the graph's
index-based aggregator makes that a bigger lift and this change delivers
the core UX win without fighting the stream ordering.

6 new unit tests covering part shape, args JSON contract, output text,
unique IDs, empty input, and startOffset ID differentiation.

*  feat: Emit Optimistic Skill Cards + Wire Primes in OpenAI/Responses

Two follow-ups from testing.

Optimistic card emit: the main chat path was only showing "Skill X
loaded" cards at final-reconcile time, so the user saw nothing happen
until the stream finished. Now emit synthetic ON_RUN_STEP +
ON_RUN_STEP_COMPLETED events right before `runAgents` starts — same
pattern the MCP OAuth flow uses in `ToolService` — so the cards appear
immediately. The graph's content at index 0 may overwrite them during
streaming, but the post-run `contentParts` prepend (unchanged) restores
them on final reconcile.

OpenAI + Responses parity: both controllers were resolving
`manualSkillPrimes` via `initializeAgent` but never injecting them into
`formattedMessages` before the run. Manual invocation silently did
nothing on `/v1/chat/completions` and the Responses API path. Now both
call `injectManualSkillPrimes` on the formatted messages so the model
sees SKILL.md bodies on every path. LibreChat-style card SSE events
don't apply to these OpenAI-shaped responses, so the live-emit is
chat-path-only.

- Export `buildSkillPrimeStepEvents(primes, { runId })` from
  `packages/api/src/agents/skills.ts`. Uses `Constants.USE_PRELIM_RESPONSE_MESSAGE_ID`
  by default so the frontend maps events to the in-flight preliminary
  response message, matching the OAuth emitter.
- In `AgentClient.chatCompletion`, emit via `sendEvent` (or
  `GenerationJobManager.emitChunk` in resumable mode) after
  `injectManualSkillPrimes` runs, before the LLM turn begins.
- Wire `injectManualSkillPrimes` into `openai.js` + `responses.js` after
  `formatAgentMessages`. Refactored the destructure to `let` on
  `indexTokenCountMap` so the injector's returned map is usable.
- 8 new unit tests covering the step-event builder: pair cardinality,
  default/custom runId, TOOL_CALLS shape + JSON args, progress:1 on
  completion, index ordering, stepId/toolCallId pairing, empty input.

* 🎯 fix: Route Skill Prime Events to the Real Response + Sparse-Array Offset

Two bugs in the optimistic-card emit from the last pass.

1. Wrong runId. The events used `USE_PRELIM_RESPONSE_MESSAGE_ID` (the
   MCP OAuth pattern), but OAuth emits DURING tool loading — before the
   real response messageId exists. By the time skill priming fires, the
   graph is about to emit with `this.responseMessageId`, so the PRELIM
   runId orphaned every card onto the client's placeholder response
   entry in `messageMap`, separate from the one the LLM's events were
   building. Net effect: cards never rendered mid-stream.

   Now passing `this.responseMessageId` — the same ID `createRun`
   receives — so synthetic and real steps land on the same `messageMap`
   entry.

2. Index 0 collision. With the runId fixed, card-at-0 would have hit
   `updateContent`'s type-mismatch guard when the LLM's text delta
   arrived at the same index, suppressing the whole text stream.

   New `SKILL_PRIME_INDEX_OFFSET` = 100 placed on both the live SSE
   emit and the server-side `contentParts` assignment. Sparse array
   during streaming renders as `[llm_text, ..., card]` (skip-holes via
   `Array#filter` / `Array#map`). `filterMalformedContentParts` from
   `sendCompletion` compacts to dense `[text, card]` before persistence,
   so streaming UI and saved message agree on order — no finalize
   reorder jank. Post-run switches from `contentParts.unshift` to
   `contentParts[OFFSET + i] = part` to mirror the live placement.

- Add `startIndex` option to `buildSkillPrimeStepEvents` with
  `SKILL_PRIME_INDEX_OFFSET` default. Export the constant from
  `@librechat/api` so `client.js` can reuse it for the post-run splice.
- Update the existing index-ordering test to the new default and add a
  new test for the explicit `startIndex` override.

* 🎗️ feat: Replace \$skill-name Text with Pills on the User Message

The `$skill-name ` cosmetic text the popover was inserting into the
textarea had two problems: it lingered in the user message forever (the
card is a more meaningful marker), and it implied that free-form text
invocation like \"\$foo help me\" should work — which it doesn't, and
supporting it would mean another parsing layer nobody asked for.

Dropped the textarea insertion. Visual confirmation after submit now
comes from a compact `ManualSkillPills` row on the user bubble that
self-extinguishes once the backend's live skill-card stream
(`buildSkillPrimeStepEvents` from the last commit) populates the sibling
assistant response. Multiple skills render as multiple pills — the atom
was already a string array, so multi-select works for free.

- `SkillsCommand.tsx`: select handler no longer writes to the textarea.
  Still drops the trigger `$` via `removeCharIfLast`, still pushes to
  `pendingManualSkillsByConvoId`, still flips `ephemeralAgent.skills`.
- `families.ts`: new `attachedSkillsByMessageId` atomFamily keyed by
  user messageId. `useChatFunctions.ask` writes the drained skill list
  here on every fresh submit (regenerate/continue/edit still skip).
- `ManualSkillPills.tsx` renders pills conditionally: hidden when the
  message isn't a user message, when no skills are attached, or when
  the sibling assistant response already carries a `skill` tool_call
  content part (the live card took over). Reads messages via React Query
  so we don't re-render on every message-state keystroke.
- `Container.tsx` mounts the pills above the user message text, parallel
  to the existing `Files` slot.
- Updated the SkillsCommand select-flow spec to assert the textarea is
  cleared of `$` instead of populated with `\$name `. 5 new tests for
  `ManualSkillPills` covering empty state, non-user message guard,
  multi-skill rendering, the skill-card hide condition, and the
  text-only-content-doesn't-hide case.

* 🎛️ feat: Manual Skills as Persisted Message Field + Compose-Time Chips

Three problems with the previous pass:
1. Cards rendered BELOW the LLM text on the assistant message (and
   stayed there on reload) because the sparse index-100 offset put them
   after the model's content. Now back to `unshift` — cards at the top,
   same as before the live-emit detour.
2. Pills on the user message disappeared the moment the live card
   arrived, so users barely saw them. The live-emit channel also added
   meaningful complexity and relied on a per-message Recoil atom that
   had no clean cleanup story.
3. No visual cue at all during new-chat compose — the `$name ` text was
   removed, the submitted-message pills weren't there yet, and the
   popover closes after selection. User had no way to see what they'd
   queued up before sending.

New architecture: `manualSkills` is a first-class field on `TMessage`,
persisted by the backend on the user message. `ManualSkillPills` reads
straight from `message.manualSkills` — no atom, no sibling-lookup — so
pills survive reload, show in history, and stay for the lifetime of the
message. Compose-time chips above the textarea read the existing
`pendingManualSkillsByConvoId` atom and let users × skills out before
submitting.

Backend reverts:
- `client.js`: dropped the `ON_RUN_STEP` live-emit loop, restored
  `this.contentParts.unshift(...primeParts)` so cards sit at the top of
  the persisted assistant response.
- `skills.ts`: removed `buildSkillPrimeStepEvents` and
  `SKILL_PRIME_INDEX_OFFSET` (both unused now). `GraphEvents`,
  `StepTypes`, and `Constants` imports went with them. Removed 8 tests.

Field persistence:
- `tMessageSchema` gains `manualSkills: z.array(z.string()).optional()`.
- Mongoose message schema gains `manualSkills: { type: [String] }` with
  matching `IMessage` TS field.
- `BaseClient.js` reads `req.body.manualSkills` on user-message save,
  filters to non-empty strings, pins onto `userMessage` before
  `saveMessageToDatabase`. Mirrors the existing `files` pattern right
  above it. Runtime resolution still reads top-level `req.body.manualSkills`
  — persistence and resolution are separate concerns.

Frontend:
- `useChatFunctions.ask` sets `currentMsg.manualSkills` directly; the
  drained atom value goes onto the message, not a separate atom.
  Removed the `attachSkillsToMessage` Recoil callback.
- `ManualSkillPills`: pure render of `message.manualSkills`. No more
  `useQueryClient`, no sibling scan, no atom read. Loses the
  auto-hide-when-card-arrives behavior — pills stay on the user
  bubble, cards live on the assistant bubble, both are informative.
- Dropped the `attachedSkillsByMessageId` atomFamily and its export.
- New `PendingManualSkillsChips` above the textarea reads the
  compose-time atom and renders chips with × to remove. Mounted in
  `ChatForm` right after `TextareaHeader`. Naturally hides on submit
  when the atom drains.

Tests: updated `ManualSkillPills` suite to the new field-based reads
(5 passing). New `PendingManualSkillsChips` suite covering empty state,
multi-chip render, single × removal, and full-clear (4 passing).
Backend suite trimmed to 89 (was 97) from the step-events test
removal — no regressions on the remaining helpers.

* 🧪 feat: Assistant-Side Skill-Loading Chips + Pill Padding

Two small UX fixes on top of the field-on-message architecture.

Pill padding: bumped the user-side `ManualSkillPills` from `py-0.5` to
`py-1` on each chip and added `py-0.5` to the wrapper so the row
breathes a little without feeling tall.

Mid-stream indicator: new `InvokingSkillsIndicator` mirrors the parent
user message's `manualSkills` onto the assistant bubble as transient
"Running X" chips while the real card is in flight. Renders above
`ContentParts` in `MessageParts`. Hides itself when the assistant's
own `content` grows a `skill` tool_call — the authoritative card from
`buildSkillPrimeContentParts.unshift` is showing, so the placeholder
steps aside. No SSE emit, no aggregator injection, no index
collision with the LLM's streaming content: just a render slot keyed
off the parent's field.

Why not stream the cards live: whichever content index we'd choose
either blocks the LLM's text stream (`updateContent` type-mismatch at
index 0) or lands below the response after sparse compaction (index
100+). Mirroring the parent field sidesteps the aggregator entirely
and gives the user an immediate "skill is loading" signal that
naturally gives way to the real card at finalize.

Covers the gap the user flagged: pills on the user message said "I
asked for these" but nothing on the assistant side said "we're
working on it" until the stream finished. 5 new tests for the
indicator: user-msg guard, missing parent-field guard, multi-chip
render, hides-on-card-landing, orphan-parent guard.

* 🔁 fix: Indicator Visibility + Carry Manual Skills Through Regenerate/Edit

Two bugs.

Indicator never rendered: `InvokingSkillsIndicator` looked up the parent
user message via `queryClient.getQueryData([QueryKeys.messages, convoId])`,
but on a new chat the React Query cache is keyed by `"new"` (the URL
`paramId`) until the server assigns a real conversation ID — while
`message.conversationId` on the assistant message is already the server
ID. Lookup missed, `skills.length === 0`, nothing rendered. Switched
to `useChatContext().getMessages()`, which reads from the same
`paramId` the rest of the UI uses, so new-chat and existing-chat cases
both resolve to the correct message list.

Regenerate / save-and-submit dropped manual skills: the compose-time
`pendingManualSkillsByConvoId` atom is drained on the first submit,
so replaying that turn later found an empty atom and sent `manualSkills: []`.
The pills were still on the user bubble, so from the user's point of
view the model was running primed — but the backend saw nothing and
produced an unprimed response.

- Added `overrideManualSkills?: string[]` to `TOptions`. Callers with a
  reference message pass its persisted `manualSkills`; `useChatFunctions.ask`
  uses the override verbatim when present, otherwise falls back to the
  existing drain-or-empty logic.
- `regenerate` in `useChatFunctions` passes `parentMessage.manualSkills`
  — the user message being regenerated has the field persisted by the
  backend, so the second turn primes the same skills as the first.
- `EditMessage.resubmitMessage` covers both edit branches:
  - User-message save-and-submit: forwards the edited message's own
    `manualSkills` so the new sibling turn primes identically.
  - Assistant-response edit: forwards the parent user message's
    `manualSkills` for the same reason.

Indicator test suite converted from `@tanstack/react-query` harness to
a jest-mocked `useChatContext().getMessages()`. 6 tests (was 5), added
a cache-miss case.

* 🧭 fix: Drive Mid-Stream Skill Chips from Submission Atom, Not Message Lookup

Message-ID-keyed lookups kept racing the stream: the user message flips
from its client-side intermediate UUID to the server-assigned ID mid-run,
conversation IDs flip from the URL `paramId="new"` to the real convo
ID on brand-new chats, and the React Query cache splits briefly between
the two. Previous attempts — direct `queryClient.getQueryData` and then
`useChatContext().getMessages()` — each missed a different window.

`TSubmission.manualSkills` is already populated at `ask()` time and the
submission atom (`store.submissionByIndex(index)`) is the single stable
anchor across the whole lifecycle: set once at submit, lives through
every SSE event, cleared when the stream ends. No ID lookups, no cache
timing.

- `InvokingSkillsIndicator` now reads `submissionByIndex(index)` via
  Recoil. Shows chips when:
    • the message is assistant-side,
    • a submission is in flight with non-empty `manualSkills`,
    • the assistant's `parentMessageId` matches
      `submission.userMessage.messageId` (so chips appear only on the
      bubble for the current turn, never on siblings),
    • the assistant's own content doesn't yet carry a `skill`
      tool_call (real card takes over from the server's post-run
      `contentParts.unshift`).
- Drops the `useChatContext().getMessages()` dependency and the
  `useQueryClient` dependency before that. No more lookups by
  conversationId or messageId.

Test suite now mocks `useChatContext` to supply `index: 0` and seeds
the `submissionByIndex(0)` atom via Recoil initializer. 6 cases cover
user-side, no-submission history, empty `manualSkills`, multi-chip
render, hides-on-card-landing, and wrong-turn guard.

* 🌱 fix: Seed Response manualSkills in createdHandler, Indicator Becomes Pure

The mid-stream indicator kept getting wired off state I don't own: first
`queryClient.getQueryData` (raced the new-chat paramId flip), then
`useChatContext().getMessages()` (same cache, same race), then
`useRecoilValue(submissionByIndex)` (pulled every message into the
submission subscription — re-renders all indicators on any submission
change, exactly the "limit hooks in rendering" concern).

Cleanest path is the one the user pointed at: the submission owns the
data, `useSSE` / `useEventHandlers` owns the save points, so seed the
field ONTO the response message at the save site and let the indicator
be a pure prop-read.

- `createdHandler` now writes `manualSkills` onto the initial response
  from `submission.manualSkills` at the moment the placeholder enters
  the messages array. The field rides through the normal mutation
  pipeline via spreads (`useStepHandler` response creation,
  `updateContent` result returns) — no special handling needed.
- `InvokingSkillsIndicator` drops the Recoil / context / queryClient
  reads. Pure function of `message`: if assistant, has `manualSkills`,
  and `content` hasn't grown a `skill` tool_call yet, render chips.
  Only `useLocalize` left, which was already unavoidable for the i18n
  string.
- Renders decouple: no single state change (`submissionByIndex` flip,
  React Query cache update) forces every indicator in the message list
  to re-render anymore. Only the message whose prop changed re-runs.

Finalize story unchanged: server's `responseMessage` doesn't carry the
frontend-only `manualSkills` field, so `finalHandler`'s replacement
drops it — but by then the real `skill` tool_call is in `content`
and the indicator's content-scan hides itself anyway.

Test suite back to pure prop mocks: 7 cases covering user-guard,
no-seed, multi-chip render, skill-card-hide, non-skill-tool-call-keeps,
text-only-keeps, and missing message.

* 🪞 fix: Render Skill Indicator Inside ContentParts, Adjacent to Parts

The indicator still wasn't showing because even though MessageParts
mounted it as a sibling of ContentParts, ContentParts is a `memo`'d
component that owns the only rendering path that refreshes in lockstep
with content deltas. Mounting above it put the indicator one layer
further out — reachable, but not exercised on the same render cycle
that processes the streaming `message` prop.

Moved the indicator into ContentParts itself, rendered at the top of
both the sequential and parallel branches. Reads the `message` prop
(newly threaded through as an optional prop alongside `content`), so:

- Same render cycle as Parts — updates from the SSE pipeline flow
  through the same pathway.
- Lives outside the `content.map`, so delta-driven content reshuffles
  never wipe it.
- Still a pure prop-read inside the indicator itself (no Recoil,
  queryClient, context hooks). The only dep is `useLocalize`.

Thread:
- `ContentPartsProps` gains `message?: TMessage`.
- `MessageParts` passes `message={message}` through, drops its own
  indicator mount + import.
- `ContentParts` renders `<InvokingSkillsIndicator message={message} />`
  in both the parallel-content and sequential-content branches, right
  under `MemoryArtifacts` and before the empty-cursor / parts map.

Companion data flow (unchanged): `createdHandler` seeds
`initialResponse.manualSkills` from `submission.manualSkills`; the
field rides through `useStepHandler` via spreads; indicator hides on
`skill` tool_call landing in `content`.

* 🔎 refactor: Narrow Skill Components to Scalar skills Prop, Kill Memo Churn

Passing the full `message` object into presentational components busts
`React.memo` shallow comparisons every time the message reference changes
for unrelated reasons. Swap to scalar `skills?: string[]` throughout:

- `InvokingSkillsIndicator`: props-only (`skills?: string[]`); visibility
  logic (user-vs-assistant, skill tool_call arrival) now lives in the
  caller so this stays pure presentational.
- `ManualSkillPills`: props-only (`skills?: string[]`).
- `ContentParts`: takes `manualSkills?: string[]` scalar, computes
  `showInvokingSkills` once per render from `manualSkills` + content scan
  for the `skill` tool_call, then mounts the indicator with `skills=`
  prop in both parallel and sequential branches.
- `MessageParts`: passes `manualSkills={message.manualSkills}` through
  to `ContentParts`.
- `Container`: passes `skills={message.manualSkills}` to `ManualSkillPills`.
- Tests updated to exercise the narrowed prop surface.

* 📜 feat: Mid-Stream Skill Cards via SkillCall, Drop Custom Indicator

Instead of a separate `InvokingSkillsIndicator` chip component, render
pending skill placeholders through the existing `SkillCall` renderer —
same component the backend's finalized prime part uses. The loading
visual (`progress < 1` + empty output → pulsing "Running X") and the
completed visual ("Ran X") now come from one source of truth.

`ContentParts` computes `pendingSkillNames` from `manualSkills` minus
any `skill` tool_call already in `content` (dedupe by `args.skillName`
since the synthetic's id differs from the real one). Those names
render through a separate slot ABOVE the Parts iteration — not
prepended to the content array, which would shift React keys on
every downstream streaming text / tool part and force unmount/remount
mid-stream.

When the real prime `tool_call` lands at finalize (backend unshifts to
content[0..]), `collectExistingSkillNames` picks it up, the pending
set empties, and the real part takes over rendering in the Parts
iteration. Layout is identical either way because primes are always
at the top of content.

- `InvokingSkillsIndicator.tsx` + test deleted (no longer referenced)
- `ContentParts.tsx` renders `<SkillCall .../>` directly for pending
  names, mirrors `Part.tsx`'s usage of the same component
- `createdHandler` doc comment updated to reflect the new flow

* ✂️ fix: Render Interim Skill Cards From manualSkills Only, Leave Content Untouched

Previous revision read `content` to de-dupe pending cards against real
`skill` tool_calls, so any optimistic skill part streamed from the
backend would race our placeholder off the screen mid-turn — exactly
the "getting overridden" symptom.

Now: interim `SkillCall` cards are driven purely by the response
message's `manualSkills` field. `content` is never inspected here,
so no backend delta can pull the cards down. The field is now seeded
directly onto the assistant placeholder in `useChatFunctions` (not
only in `createdHandler`) so the cards appear from the first render,
before the `created` SSE event round-trip.

Lifecycle:
- `useChatFunctions` puts `manualSkills` on the freshly-minted
  `initialResponse` — cards render the instant the placeholder lands.
- `createdHandler` keeps its own re-seed (idempotent; safe) so a
  regenerate / save-and-submit flow that hits that path still works.
- `useStepHandler` spread operations preserve the field through every
  content update.
- `finalHandler` replaces the message with the server-backed
  `responseMessage` (no `manualSkills`) — cards disappear, and the
  real `skill` tool_call part in `content` takes over.

ContentParts changes:
- Drop `collectExistingSkillNames` / `parseJsonField` dedupe path.
- `renderPendingSkills` reads only `manualSkills` + `isCreatedByUser`.
- Simpler control flow — one boolean (`hasPendingSkills`) gates the
  early return, one function renders.

* 🩹 fix: Codex Review Resolutions — Localization, Guards, Tests, Docs

Addresses seven findings from comprehensive code review:

Finding 1 (MAJOR) — Document sticky re-priming as intentional
- `buildSkillPrimeContentParts`: expanded doc comment explaining
  synthetic `skill` tool_calls persist and get re-primed on every
  subsequent turn via `extractInvokedSkillsFromPayload` (shape parity
  with model-invoked skills). This matches the UX: the assistant
  skill card is a visible, persistent signal that the skill is active
  for the conversation. Not a bug — called out explicitly so future
  maintainers don't mistake it for one.

Finding 2 (MAJOR) — Add ContentParts render tests
- New `ContentParts.test.tsx` with 7 cases covering the interim skill
  card logic: assistant-only rendering, user-message suppression,
  undefined-content safety, parallel+sequential branch integration,
  progress<1 (pending) state. Child components mocked so the test
  exercises only the branching and prop wiring ContentParts owns.

Finding 3 (MINOR) — Localize hardcoded aria-labels
- Added `com_ui_skills_manual_invoked` + `com_ui_skills_queued` keys.
- Reused existing `com_ui_remove_skill_var` for the remove-button
  aria-label.
- `PendingManualSkillsChips` and `ManualSkillPills` now call
  `useLocalize()`. Test mocks updated to the label-echo pattern.

Finding 4 (MINOR) — Max-length guard in `extractManualSkills`
- New `MAX_SKILL_NAME_LENGTH = 200` constant and filter. Blocks a
  crafted payload like `{ manualSkills: ['a'.repeat(100000)] }` from
  reaching `getSkillByName` / Mongo's query planner.

Finding 5 (NIT) — `BaseClient.js` comment contradicted itself
- Rewrote to call the filter what it is: defense-in-depth on top of
  Mongoose schema validation, not a redundant second layer.

Finding 6 (NIT) — `ManualSkillPills` now wrapped in `React.memo`
- Consistent with peer components (`PendingManualSkillsChips`,
  `ContentParts`). Rendered inside `Container`, which re-renders on
  every content update, so the memo is a real cycle savings.

Finding 7 (NIT) — Redundant guard in `ContentParts.renderPendingSkills`
- Collapsed the duplicate null-check by computing `pendingSkills` as
  a `useMemo`'d array (`[]` when not applicable), and mapping
  directly. `hasPendingSkills` now derives from the array length —
  one source of truth, no redundant gate inside the render function.

* 🔧 fix: Update ParallelContent to Handle Optional Content Prop

Modified the `ParallelContentRendererProps` to make the `content` prop optional, ensuring safer access within the component. Adjusted the calculation of `lastContentIdx` to handle cases where `content` may be undefined, preventing potential runtime errors. This change enhances the robustness of the component when dealing with varying message structures.

* 🎯 fix: Thread manualSkills Through ContentRender — The Real Renderer

This is why the interim skill cards never appeared across many rounds of
iteration: `ContentRender.tsx` (the memo'd renderer used by most paths,
including the agents endpoint) was calling `ContentParts` without the
`manualSkills` prop. Only `MessageParts.tsx` had it wired up — and
that's not the component that actually renders the assistant response
in production.

Two fixes:
1. Pass `manualSkills={msg.manualSkills}` to the `ContentParts` call.
2. Extend the `areContentRenderPropsEqual` memo comparator to include
   `manualSkills.length`, otherwise a message update that adds the
   field (seeded by `useChatFunctions` on the initialResponse) would
   be bailed out by the memo and never re-render.

Verified the two ContentParts call sites are now consistent; Container
usages for `ManualSkillPills` on the user side were already correct.

* 🧹 polish: Address Audit Follow-Up (F1/F3/F6)

F1 — Clarify sticky re-priming opt-out path.
  The previous comment said "regenerate without the pick" as one
  opt-out, but `useChatFunctions.regenerate` forwards the original
  picks via `overrideManualSkills`, so regeneration alone keeps the
  skill sticky. Updated to: edit the originating message to remove
  the pills and resubmit, or start a new conversation.

F3 — Add DOM-order assertions to the parallel + sequential tests.
  The two "alongside" tests verified both elements existed but
  didn't pin the ordering contract. Both now use
  `compareDocumentPosition` to assert the pending SkillCall
  precedes the real content, matching the backend semantic
  (`contentParts.unshift(...primeParts)` puts primes at the top).

F6 — Fix package import order in PendingManualSkillsChips.
  `recoil` (58 chars) was listed before `lucide-react` (45 chars)
  which violates the "shortest to longest after react" rule in
  AGENTS.md. Swapped order; no behavior change.

F2 / F4 / F5 from the audit were confirmed as non-issues
(React-safe empty map, cosmetic test-mock artifact, accepted
memo tradeoff) and require no change.

*  feat: Dedicated PendingSkillCall + Running→Ran Transition on Real Content

UX polish on the interim skill card now that it's actually rendering:

1. New `PendingSkillCall` component (mirrors `SkillCall` visually but
   drops the expand affordance). `SkillCall`'s underlying `ProgressText`
   always renders a chevron + clickable button when any input is
   present, which on a card with empty output points at nothing —
   misleading cursor:pointer and a no-op toggle. The pending variant
   has only the icon + label, no button wrapper, no chevron.

2. "Running X" → "Ran X" transition when real content lands.
   `ContentParts` computes `hasRealContent` (any non-text part, or a
   text part with non-empty content — placeholder empty-text parts
   don't count) and passes `loaded={hasRealContent}` to
   `PendingSkillCall`. Matches what users see for model-invoked skills
   as they finish priming: pulsing shimmer → static icon.

3. Cleanup:
   - Dropped direct `SkillCall` import from `ContentParts` (replaced
     by `PendingSkillCall`). `SkillCall` is still used by `Part` for
     real `skill` tool_call content parts — no behavior change there.
   - Removed the now-redundant explicit `manualSkills` assignment
     in `createdHandler`. `useChatFunctions` seeds the field on
     `initialResponse` at construction, so the `...submission.initialResponse`
     spread already carries it through — the re-assignment was
     defensive belt-and-suspenders doing the same work twice. Comment
     rewritten to describe the actual lifecycle.

Tests updated to the new component (12/12 pass): two new cases pin
the loaded-state transition (unloaded when content has no real parts,
flips to loaded once a non-empty text part lands).
