+# Agent-owned Context 协议设计
+
+本文档描述插件化 AgentRunner 场景下的上下文边界。结论先行：LangBot 不应成为最终 agentic context manager；LangBot 应提供 context substrate，AgentRunner 或其背后的 agent runtime 自己决定如何管理历史、压缩、召回和 KV cache。
+
+## 当前状态
+
+**当前分支已落地**：
+
+- ✅ `AgentRunContext` — event-first context 模型
+- ✅ `ContextAccess` — cursor、inline policy、available APIs
+- ✅ `AgentRunAPIProxy.history` — page/search API
+- ✅ `AgentRunAPIProxy.events` — get/page API
+- ✅ `AgentRunAPIProxy.artifacts` — metadata/read_range API
+- ✅ `AgentRunAPIProxy.state` — get/set/delete API
+- ✅ EventLog / Transcript / ArtifactStore — host 事实源
+- ✅ PersistentStateStore — 持久化状态存储
+- ✅ `max-round` 已从协议实体中移除，只在 Pipeline adapter 中处理
+
+## 1. 设计原则
+
+### 1.1 Agent 拥有上下文策略
+
+不同 runner 背后的 runtime 差异很大：
+
+- 官方 local-agent 可能依赖 LangBot 的模型、工具、知识库和存储。
+- Claude Code SDK / Codex 类 runtime 可能有自己的 session、transcript、tool loop 和上下文压缩。
+- Pi Agent SDK 或外部 agent 平台可能只需要当前事件和一个外部 conversation key。
+
+因此 LangBot 不应强行决定最终传给模型的历史窗口。Host 只提供：
+
+- 当前事件的完整结构化信息。
+- 稳定身份和会话引用。
+- 可授权读取的 history / event / artifact / state API。
+- payload hard cap 和权限 guardrail。
+
+### 1.2 不再把 `max-round` 作为目标设计
+
+Pipeline adapter 的 `max-round` 配置可以在运行时被读取并转换为某种默认 bootstrap policy，但不应继续作为 AgentRunner 协议的核心概念。
+
+新协议不应该问“LangBot 每轮裁几轮历史给 agent”，而应该问：
+
+- 这类 runner 是否自管 context？
+- 事件到来时 host 应 inline 哪些最小信息？
+- agent 需要更多上下文时通过什么 API 拉取？
+- host 如何保证安全、可审计和可分页？
+
+### 1.3 Host 保存事实源，Agent 管理 working context
+
+三类数据要分开：
+
+- `EventLog`: Host 保存原始事件、工具调用、投递结果、错误和系统事件。
+- `Transcript`: Host 从 EventLog 投影出的对话视图，用于 UI、审计和按需历史读取。
+- `Working context`: Agent 本轮实际送进模型或 runtime 的上下文，由 AgentRunner 决定。
+
+LangBot 可以为简单 runner 提供 bootstrap window，但这只是 convenience，不是主架构。
+
+## 2. Event 到来时传什么
+
+默认 `AgentRunContext` 应尽量小且稳定：
+
+```python
+class AgentRunContext(BaseModel):
+    run_id: str
+    trigger: AgentTrigger
+    event: AgentEventContext
+    conversation: ConversationContext | None
+    actor: ActorContext | None
+    subject: SubjectContext | None
+    input: AgentInput
+    delivery: DeliveryContext
+    resources: AgentResources
+    context: ContextAccess
+    state: AgentRunState
+    runtime: AgentRuntimeContext
+    config: dict[str, Any]
+```
+
+默认规则：
+
+- Host MUST NOT inline full history by default.
+- Host SHOULD inline only current event / input and context handles.
+- Runner owns working-context assembly.
+- Runner MAY use Host history / event / artifact / state / storage APIs when authorized.
+- Official runners MUST consume Host infrastructure through the same public APIs as third-party runners.
+
+### 2.1 必须 inline 的内容
+
+每次 run 必须 inline：
+
+- 当前 event 的稳定类型、id、时间、source。
+- 当前输入文本和结构化内容。
+- 附件 / 文件 / 图片的 metadata 和 artifact ref。
+- actor、subject、conversation、thread、bot、workspace。
+- delivery 能力，例如是否支持 streaming、reply target、平台限制。
+- 已授权资源列表。
+- context cursors 和可用 API 能力。
+- runner binding config。
+
+这些是 agent 决定下一步需要的最低信息。
+
+### 2.2 默认不 inline 的内容
+
+默认不要 inline：
+
+- 完整历史消息。
+- 大文件全文。
+- 大工具结果。
+- 全量知识库内容。
+- 平台原始 payload 大对象。
+- 每轮重新生成的大段 summary。
+
+这些会破坏跨进程序列化成本、泄露范围、KV cache 稳定性，也会迫使 host 替 agent 做 context 策略。
+
+### 2.3 可选 bootstrap
+
+根据 runner manifest 可以提供可选 bootstrap：
+
+```yaml
+context:
+  bootstrap: none | current_event | recent_tail | summary_tail
+  max_inline_events: 0
+  max_inline_bytes: 0
+```
+
+建议默认：
+
+- 自管 runtime：`bootstrap: current_event`
+- 简单 HTTP runner：`bootstrap: recent_tail`
+- Pipeline adapter 的 `max-round` 可映射为 `recent_tail` 配置，但不再作为协议字段扩展。
+
+## 3. ContextAccess
+
+`ContextAccess` 是 host 交给 agent 的上下文读取入口描述：
+
+```python
+class ContextAccess(BaseModel):
+    conversation_id: str | None
+    thread_id: str | None
+    latest_cursor: str | None
+    event_seq: int | None
+    transcript_seq: int | None
+    has_history_before: bool
+    inline_policy: InlineContextPolicy
+    available_apis: ContextAPICapabilities
+```
+
+它告诉 agent：
+
+- 当前事件位于哪条 conversation / thread。
+- 若需要更多历史，从哪个 cursor 开始拉。
+- host inline 了什么，没 inline 什么。
+- 当前 run 有哪些 context API 权限。
+
+## 4. Agent 如何获取更多上下文
+
+所有 API 都必须走 `AgentRunAPIProxy`，并由 host 用 `run_id` 校验。
+
+### 4.1 History API
+
+```python
+await api.history.page(
+    conversation_id=ctx.context.conversation_id,
+    before_cursor=ctx.context.latest_cursor,
+    limit=50,
+    direction="backward",
+    include_artifacts=False,
+)
+```
+
+返回：
+
+```python
+class HistoryPage(BaseModel):
+    items: list[TranscriptItem]
+    next_cursor: str | None
+    prev_cursor: str | None
+    has_more: bool
+```
+
+约束：
+
+- `limit` 有 host hard cap。
+- 默认只能读当前 conversation / thread。
+- 跨会话读取必须有 manifest permission + binding policy。
+- 返回 artifact ref，不默认返回大文件内容。
+
+### 4.2 Search API
+
+```python
+await api.history.search(
+    query="用户之前提到的数据库连接信息",
+    filters={
+        "conversation_id": ctx.context.conversation_id,
+        "event_types": ["message.received"],
+    },
+    top_k=10,
+)
+```
+
+Search 可以先用数据库全文索引，后续再接 embedding recall。它是 host 提供的检索能力，不等于 agent 的长期记忆策略。
+
+### 4.3 Event API
+
+```python
+await api.events.get(event_id)
+await api.events.page(before_cursor=..., limit=...)
+```
+
+Event API 用于读取非消息事件、工具事件、系统事件。Agent 不应把所有事件都当成 user/assistant message。
+
+### 4.4 Artifact API
+
+```python
+await api.artifacts.metadata(artifact_id)
+await api.artifacts.read_range(artifact_id, offset=0, length=65536)
+await api.artifacts.open_stream(artifact_id)
+```
+
+约束：
+
+- 校验 artifact 所属 conversation / run / binding。
+- 校验 MIME、大小、过期时间和权限。
+- 大文件按 range/stream 读取。
+- 工具大结果也应 artifact 化。
+
+### 4.5 State API
+
+```python
+await api.state.get(scope="conversation", key="external.session_id")
+await api.state.set(scope="conversation", key="summary.checkpoint", value=...)
+```
+
+State 是可选寄宿能力。自管 runtime 可以完全不用；依附 LangBot 的官方 runner 可以使用。
+
+## 5. Runner manifest 中的上下文声明
+
+建议增加：
+
+```yaml
+context:
+  ownership: self_managed | host_bootstrap | hybrid
+  bootstrap: none | current_event | recent_tail | summary_tail
+  max_inline_events: 0
+  max_inline_bytes: 0
+  supports_history_pull: true
+  supports_history_search: true
+  supports_artifact_pull: true
+  owns_compaction: true
+  wants_static_context_refs: true
+```
+
+语义：
+
+- `self_managed`: Host 不主动 inline 历史，只提供 event 和 handles。
+- `host_bootstrap`: Host 为简单 runner inline 一个小窗口。
+- `hybrid`: Host inline summary/tail，runner 仍可按需拉更多。
+- `owns_compaction`: runner 负责压缩，host 不做语义摘要。
+- `wants_static_context_refs`: host 用 ref/hash 描述静态内容，减少重复 payload。
+
+## 6. KV cache 友好的上下文管理
+
+如果目标是支持 Claude Code SDK、Codex、Pi Agent SDK 等 runtime，必须避免每轮由 LangBot 重组大块 prompt。
+
+建议：
+
+- 稳定 session key：`workspace/bot/binding/runner/conversation/thread`。
+- 静态内容使用 `ref + version/hash`：system prompt、resource manifest、tool schema、platform policy。
+- 每轮只传 delta：当前 event、artifact refs、少量 runtime metadata。
+- 历史 append-only：不要每轮改写同一段 history 文本。
+- Summary checkpoint 稳定：只有压缩发生时产生新 checkpoint，不要每轮微调。
+- 大文件和工具结果 artifact 化。
+- Tool/context API schema 稳定，数据通过 API 拉取，而不是塞入 prompt。
+- 对自管 runtime，优先让它复用自身 session/cache，而不是强制 LangBot 每轮重放 transcript。
+
+## 7. Host guardrail
+
+Agent 自管 context 不代表无限制访问。LangBot 仍必须控制：
+
+- 每次 run 的 active `run_id`。
+- runner identity。
+- 当前 binding 的 resource policy。
+- conversation / actor / subject scope。
+- page size、artifact read size、API rate limit。
+- 跨会话读取权限。
+- 数据脱敏和敏感变量过滤。
+- 审计日志。
+
+Host 不负责“最佳上下文策略”，但负责“不越权、不爆内存、不不可审计”。
+
+## 8. 官方 runner 与业务编排边界
+
+官方 runner 插件可以选择把状态寄宿在 LangBot，但它们必须和第三方 runner 一样通过公开 Host APIs 消费这些能力。
+
+LangBot core 不应内置官方 agent 的业务流程：
+
+- 不内置 prompt 组装策略。
+- 不内置 tool loop。
+- 不内置 RAG 编排策略。
+- 不内置 summary / compaction 策略。
+- 不内置“local-agent 专用”的状态字段。
+
+官方 local-agent 应作为“依附 LangBot 基础设施的复杂 runner 参考实现”存在：
+
+- transcript / history 通过 `api.history.page()` 或 `api.history.search()` 读取。
+- summary、checkpoint、外部 session id、用户偏好通过 `api.state` 或 `api.storage` 保存。
+- 图片、文件、工具大结果通过 `api.artifacts` 读取。
+- 模型、工具、知识库通过 `api.models`、`api.tools`、`api.knowledge` 调用。
+
+这样 LangBot 保持为通用 agent host，不变成内置 agent 框架。
+
+## 9. 当前实现需要调整
+
+**已完成（当前分支）**：
+
+- ✅ `max-round` 在 Pipeline adapter 中处理（不影响协议实体）
+- ✅ 新 runner 默认不收到历史窗口
+- ✅ `AgentRunContext` 增加 `context` / cursor / access capabilities
+- ✅ `AgentRunAPIProxy` 增加 history / events / artifacts / state API
+- ✅ Host 增加持久 EventLog / Transcript / ArtifactStore / PersistentStateStore
+- ✅ `run_from_query()` 委托到 event-first `run(event, binding)`
+
+这样 LangBot 既能服务依附 host 基础设施的官方 runner，也能服务自带 memory/session/cache 的外部 agent runtime。

+# Event Based Agent 预留设计
+
+> **注意**：本文档是 future design note，不是当前分支实现范围。
+>
+> EventGateway、EventRouter、Event subscription/notification 由其他分支实现。
+> 本分支只预留 event-first 入口和 envelope/binding models。
+
+本文档描述未来 EBA 接入时，事件如何进入 LangBot、如何触发 AgentRunner，以及如何复用插件化 agent 基础设施。
+
+本阶段不实现完整 EventBus / EventRouter / Platform API。本阶段要做的是把协议边界设计对，避免当前消息入口继续绑死 Pipeline 和用户文本消息。
+
+## 1. 设计目标
+
+- 消息、撤回、入群、好友申请、定时任务、API 调用都能抽象为 host event。
+- EventRouter 可以根据 event type、bot、workspace、conversation、actor、subject 解析 AgentBinding。
+- AgentRunner 通过同一套 orchestrator 被调用。
+- 非消息事件不伪造成用户文本消息。
+- 平台动作执行通过显式 capability / permission / result type 预留，不混入普通文本回复。
+
+## 2. 事件不是消息
+
+`message.received` 只是事件的一种。协议不应假设：
+
+- 一定有用户文本。
+- 一定有 conversation history。
+- 一定要返回一条聊天消息。
+- actor 一定等于 sender。
+- subject 一定等于当前消息。
+
+例如：
+
+| event_type | actor | subject | input |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `message.received` | 发消息的人 | 当前消息 | 文本、图片、文件等 |
+| `message.recalled` | 撤回操作者，未知时为系统 | 被撤回消息 | 通常为空 |
+| `group.member_joined` | 新成员或邀请人 | 群/成员关系 | 通常为空 |
+| `friend.request_received` | 申请人 | 好友申请 | 验证消息或申请理由 |
+| `schedule.triggered` | 系统 | 定时任务 | 任务 payload |
+| `api.invoked` | API caller | API request | request payload |
+
+## 3. Event Envelope
+
+建议事件 envelope：
+
+```python
+class AgentEventEnvelope(BaseModel):
+    event_id: str
+    event_type: str
+    event_time: int | None
+    source: EventSource
+    workspace_id: str | None
+    bot_id: str | None
+    conversation_id: str | None
+    thread_id: str | None
+    actor: ActorRef | None
+    subject: SubjectRef | None
+    input: AgentInput
+    delivery: DeliveryContext
+    raw_ref: RawEventRef | None
+    metadata: dict[str, Any] = {}
+```
+
+顶层字段使用 LangBot 稳定协议名。平台原始事件名和原始 payload 放到 `metadata` 或 `raw_ref`，不直接成为 runner 的稳定依赖。
+
+## 4. Event Source
+
+事件来源可以包括：
+
+- `platform_adapter`: 飞书、QQ、微信、Telegram 等 IM 平台。
+- `webui`: Debug Chat、控制台操作。
+- `http_api`: 外部系统调用 LangBot。
+- `scheduler`: 定时任务。
+- `system`: runtime、plugin、maintenance 事件。
+
+同一个 event source 可以产生多个 event type。EventRouter 不应该写死平台 adapter 的类名。
+
+## 5. Event Binding
+
+EBA 中，AgentBinding 取代 Pipeline runner 配置成为触发关系：
+
+```python
+class AgentBinding(BaseModel):
+    binding_id: str
+    enabled: bool
+    event_types: list[str]
+    scope: BindingScope
+    filters: list[EventFilter]
+    runner_id: str
+    runner_config: dict[str, Any]
+    resource_policy: ResourcePolicy
+    state_policy: StatePolicy
+    delivery_policy: DeliveryPolicy
+```
+
+Binding scope 示例：
+
+- workspace 全局。
+- bot 级别。
+- platform channel 级别。
+- conversation / group / thread 级别。
+- user / actor 级别。
+
+旧 Pipeline 可以迁移为 `message.received` 的 binding source，但不是唯一 binding source。
+
+## 6. EventRouter 调用链
+
+目标调用链：
+
+```text
+Platform Adapter / WebUI / API
+  -> Event Gateway normalize payload
+  -> EventLog append raw event
+  -> EventRouter resolve bindings
+  -> AgentRunOrchestrator.run(event, binding)
+  -> AgentRunContextBuilder.build(event, binding)
+  -> PluginRuntimeConnector.run_agent()
+  -> AgentRunResult stream
+  -> DeliveryController render / platform action
+```
+
+约束：
+
+- `run_from_event()` 必须复用现有 orchestrator 能力。
+- 不能为 EBA 单独实现另一套 plugin runner 调用协议。
+- 不能让非消息事件绕过 resource authorization。
+- Delivery 和 platform action 要走统一权限模型。
+
+## 7. Delivery Context
+
+Event 不一定回复到当前聊天窗口。需要显式 delivery：
+
+```python
+class DeliveryContext(BaseModel):
+    surface: str
+    reply_target: ReplyTarget | None
+    supports_streaming: bool
+    supports_edit: bool
+    supports_reaction: bool
+    max_message_size: int | None
+    platform_capabilities: dict[str, Any] = {}
+```
+
+消息事件通常带 reply target。系统事件可能没有默认 reply target，需要 runner 返回 `action.requested` 或由 binding 的 delivery policy 决定投递位置。
+
+## 8. AgentRunResult 与平台动作
+
+当前消息路径主要消费：
+
+- `message.delta`
+- `message.completed`
+- `run.completed`
+- `run.failed`
+
+EBA 后需要预留：
+
+- `action.requested`: 请求 host 执行平台动作。
+- `artifact.created`: runner 生成文件或大结果。
+- `delivery.requested`: 请求投递到某个 surface。
+
+示例：
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "action.requested",
+  "data": {
+    "action": "friend.request.accept",
+    "target": {"platform": "wechat", "request_id": "..."},
+    "reason": "policy matched"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Host 必须校验：
+
+- runner manifest 是否声明 platform_api capability。
+- binding 是否授权该 action。
+- actor / bot / workspace 是否允许。
+- 是否需要人工审批。
+
+本阶段如收到 `action.requested`，可以只记录 telemetry，不执行。
+
+## 9. 与 Context 协议的关系
+
+EBA 事件进入 AgentRunner 时仍使用 [AGENT_CONTEXT_PROTOCOL.md](./AGENT_CONTEXT_PROTOCOL.md) 的原则：
+
+- inline 当前事件。
+- 大 payload 用 raw/artifact ref。
+- 不默认 inline 完整 history。
+- agent 按需通过 API 拉 history/event/artifact/state。
+- Host 保留 EventLog 和权限 guardrail。
+
+非消息事件可以被投影进 Transcript，但不能强制伪装为 user message。AgentRunner 可以根据 event type 自己决定是否把它纳入模型上下文。
+
+## 10. 当前实现与目标差距
+
+**当前分支已落地（Event-first 基础设施）**：
+
+- ✅ `AgentRunOrchestrator` — event-first `run(event, binding)` 入口
+- ✅ `AgentRunContextBuilder` — event-first context 构建
+- ✅ `AgentEventEnvelope` 模型
+- ✅ `AgentBinding` 模型
+- ✅ `AgentRunResult` 基础消息流
+- ✅ `ctx.event` 的最小消息事件封装
+- ✅ `PipelineAdapter` — Query → Event + Binding 转换
+- ✅ `run_from_query()` → `run(event, binding)` 委托
+- ✅ EventLog / Transcript / ArtifactStore
+- ✅ History / Event / Artifact / State pull APIs
+
+**其他分支负责（非本分支范围）**：
+
+- EventGateway 实现
+- EventRouter 实现
+- Event subscription / notification
+- EventLog 持久化管理 UI
+- AgentBinding 持久化 UI
+- 平台动作执行 (`action.requested` 执行器)
+
+**未来 EBA 完整落地需要**：
+
+- EventGateway 完整实现
+- EventRouter 与 BindingResolver 集成
+- AgentBinding 持久模型和 UI
+- DeliveryContext 完整实现
+- platform action permission model 和执行器
+- 真实平台事件接入
+
+## 11. 落地顺序
+
+1. 先把当前 Pipeline 消息入口适配成 `message.received` event。
+2. 增加 `AgentBinding` 抽象，先由 Pipeline config 生成。
+3. `AgentRunContextBuilder` 改为从 event + binding 构造 context。
+4. 引入 EventLog / Transcript。
+5. 增加非消息事件的协议测试，不接真实平台。
+6. 再接入真实 EventRouter 和 platform action。

+# LangBot Host 与 SDK 基础设施设计
+
+本文档描述 LangBot 和 SDK 为插件化 AgentRunner 共同提供的基础设施。它不以 Pipeline 为中心，也不以官方 local-agent 的实现方式为前提。
+
+## 1. 目标
+
+LangBot 要转为 agent host，而不是内置 runner 容器：
+
+- 接收 IM、WebUI、API 和未来 EventRouter 产生的事件。
+- 根据事件、bot、workspace、scope 解析应该调用的 agent binding。
+- 发现、校验和调用插件提供的 AgentRunner。
+- 为每次 run 提供受限资源、状态、存储、上下文引用和生命周期控制。
+- 接收 AgentRunner 返回的事件流，并投递到 IM、WebUI 或其他 output surface。
+
+SDK 要提供稳定协议：
+
+- `AgentRunner` 组件定义。
+- runner manifest / capabilities / permissions / config schema。
+- `AgentRunContext` 输入 envelope。
+- `AgentRunResult` 输出事件流。
+- `AgentRunAPIProxy` 运行期受限 API。
+
+## 2. 非目标
+
+- 不把 Pipeline 当作长期架构中心。
+- 不要求所有 AgentRunner 依赖 LangBot 的上下文管理。
+- 不要求官方 local-agent 的旧行为反向塑造 host 协议。
+- 不在 host 中实现通用 agentic prompt assembler。
+- 不强制 runner 使用 LangBot state / storage；LangBot 只提供可选、受控的寄宿能力。
+- **不实现 EventGateway**：EventGateway 是 future integration point，由外部 event branch 提供。本分支只定义 host-side envelope/binding models 和 `run(event, binding)` 入口。
+
+## 3. 分层架构
+
+目标结构：
+
+```text
+IM / WebUI / API / EventRouter (future)
+        |
+        v
+Event Gateway (future - external event branch)
+        |
+        v
+AgentBindingResolver
+        |
+        v
+AgentRunOrchestrator
+        |-- AgentRunnerRegistry
+        |-- AgentResourceBuilder
+        |-- AgentContextBuilder
+        |-- AgentRunSessionRegistry
+        |-- PersistentStateStore / EventLogStore / TranscriptStore / ArtifactStore
+        v
+Plugin Runtime / AgentRunner
+        |
+        v
+AgentRunResult stream
+        |
+        v
+Delivery / Renderer / Platform API
+```
+
+**当前状态**：
+- `PipelineAdapter` 作为当前 transition adapter，将 Pipeline Query 转换为 `AgentEventEnvelope` + `AgentBinding`
+- `run_from_query()` 内部委托到 `run(event, binding)`
+- EventLog / Transcript / ArtifactStore / PersistentStateStore 已落地
+- EventGateway 由外部 event branch 实现
+
+当前 Pipeline 只应接入在 Pipeline adapter 位置。它可以继续产生 `message.received`，但不应继续拥有 runner 选择、上下文裁剪和业务 agent 执行的核心语义。
+
+## 4. LangBot 侧能力
+
+### 4.1 Event Gateway（Future Integration Point）
+
+> **注意**：EventGateway 由外部 event branch 实现，不在本分支范围。本分支只预留 event-first 入口和 envelope/binding models。
+
+Event Gateway 将负责把入口统一成 host event：
+
+- IM 平台消息。
+- WebUI debug chat 消息。
+- API 触发。
+- 后续非消息事件，例如入群、撤回、好友申请。
+
+输出应是稳定 envelope，而不是 Pipeline Query 私有结构：
+
+```python
+class AgentEventEnvelope(BaseModel):
+    event_id: str
+    event_type: str
+    event_time: int | None
+    source: str
+    bot_id: str | None
+    workspace_id: str | None
+    conversation_id: str | None
+    thread_id: str | None
+    actor: ActorRef | None
+    subject: SubjectRef | None
+    input: AgentInput
+    delivery: DeliveryContext
+    raw_ref: RawEventRef | None
+```
+
+**当前 transition source**：`PipelineAdapter.query_to_event(query)` 从 Pipeline Query 生成 `AgentEventEnvelope`。
+
+原始平台 payload 可以存为 raw event 或 artifact ref；不要把平台私有字段直接扩散到 AgentRunner 顶层协议。
+
+### 4.2 Agent Binding
+
+Agent binding 是”什么事件调用哪个 runner、带什么绑定配置”的持久配置。它替代长期依赖 Pipeline runner config 的角色。
+
+建议模型：
+
+```python
+class AgentBinding(BaseModel):
+    binding_id: str
+    scope: BindingScope
+    event_types: list[str]
+    runner_id: str
+    runner_config: dict[str, Any]
+    resource_policy: ResourcePolicy
+    state_policy: StatePolicy
+    delivery_policy: DeliveryPolicy
+    enabled: bool
+```
+
+**当前 transition source**：`PipelineAdapter.pipeline_config_to_binding(query, runner_id)` 从 Pipeline config 生成临时 `AgentBinding`。
+
+Pipeline 当前可以被迁移为一种 binding source：
+
+- Pipeline AI runner config -> `AgentBinding`
+- Pipeline extension preference -> `resource_policy`
+- Pipeline output settings -> `delivery_policy`
+
+但新设计不应再把这些字段命名为 Pipeline 专属概念。
+
+### 4.3 AgentRunnerRegistry
+
+Registry 负责收集 runner descriptor：
+
+- 插件 runtime 提供的 `AgentRunner`。
+- 可能存在的 host adapter runner。
+- 开发期本地插件 runner。
+
+Descriptor 必须包含：
+
+```python
+class AgentRunnerDescriptor(BaseModel):
+    id: str
+    source: Literal["plugin", "host_adapter"]
+    label: I18nObject
+    description: I18nObject | None = None
+    capabilities: AgentRunnerCapabilities
+    permissions: AgentRunnerPermissions
+    config_schema: list[DynamicFormItemSchema]
+    plugin: PluginRef | None = None
+```
+
+`plugin:author/name/runner` 仍可作为稳定 id 格式。多个 binding 指向同一个 runner id 时，不创建多个插件实例。
+
+### 4.4 AgentRunOrchestrator
+
+Orchestrator 是唯一运行入口：
+
+```text
+run(event, binding)
+  -> resolve runner descriptor
+  -> build resources
+  -> build context
+  -> register run session
+  -> call plugin runtime
+  -> normalize result stream
+  -> update state
+  -> unregister run session
+```
+
+它负责：
+
+- `run_id` 生成和生命周期。
+- timeout / deadline / cancellation。
+- 插件异常隔离。
+- result schema 校验和大小限制。
+- state.updated 处理。
+- delivery backpressure 和 telemetry。
+
+`run_from_query()` 这类 API 可以保留为 Pipeline adapter 入口，但内部应转换成 event + binding 后走统一 `run()`。
+
+### 4.5 Resource Authorization
+
+LangBot 在每次 run 前生成 `ctx.resources`。资源来自三层约束：
+
+- runner manifest 声明的 permissions。
+- binding/resource policy 允许的资源范围。
+- 当前 event / actor / bot / workspace 的实际权限。
+
+资源类型包括：
+
+- models
+- tools
+- knowledge bases
+- files / artifacts
+- storage
+- platform capabilities
+- history / transcript access
+
+运行期 action 必须再次通过 `run_id` 校验。SDK 侧本地校验只用于开发体验，host 侧校验才是安全边界。
+
+### 4.6 State 与 Storage
+
+LangBot 可以提供 host-owned state，让 AgentRunner 把状态寄宿在 LangBot：
+
+- conversation state
+- actor state
+- subject state
+- runner/binding state
+- workspace state
+
+但这不是强制。外部 agent runtime 可以维护自己的 session 和 memory。LangBot 只需要提供：
+
+- 授权开关。
+- scope key。
+- get/set/list/delete API。
+- 持久化 backend。
+- 审计和清理策略。
+
+当前进程内 state store 只能作为过渡实现，不能作为正式生产语义。
+
+### 4.7 EventLog / Transcript / Artifact
+
+LangBot 应提供事实源能力：
+
+- `EventLog`: 保存原始事件、系统事件、工具调用、投递结果、错误。
+- `Transcript`: 面向对话 UI / agent history 的消息投影。
+- `ArtifactStore`: 保存大文件、多模态输入、工具大结果、平台附件。
+
+AgentRunner 可以读取这些能力，但不能被迫使用 LangBot 作为唯一记忆系统。
+
+## 5. SDK 侧协议
+
+### 5.1 AgentRunner 组件
+
+```python
+class AgentRunner(BaseComponent):
+    __kind__ = "AgentRunner"
+
+    @classmethod
+    def get_capabilities(cls) -> AgentRunnerCapabilities:
+        ...
+
+    @classmethod
+    def get_config_schema(cls) -> list[dict]:
+        ...
+
+    async def run(self, ctx: AgentRunContext) -> AsyncGenerator[AgentRunResult, None]:
+        ...
+```
+
+### 5.2 Capabilities
+
+建议能力声明：
+
+```yaml
+capabilities:
+  streaming: true
+  tool_calling: true
+  knowledge_retrieval: true
+  multimodal_input: true
+  event_context: true
+  platform_api: false
+  interrupt: true
+  stateful_session: true
+  self_managed_context: true
+  host_state: optional
+```
+
+`self_managed_context` 表示 runner 或外部 runtime 自己管理上下文。Host 不应给它强塞历史窗口，只提供当前事件和 context handles。
+
+### 5.3 Permissions
+
+```yaml
+permissions:
+  models: ["invoke", "stream", "rerank"]
+  tools: ["detail", "call"]
+  knowledge_bases: ["list", "retrieve"]
+  history: ["page", "search"]
+  artifacts: ["metadata", "read"]
+  storage: ["plugin", "workspace", "binding"]
+  platform_api: []
+```
+
+权限声明是 runner 需要的最大能力，实际可用资源仍由 binding 和当前运行上下文裁剪。
+
+### 5.4 AgentRunContext
+
+Context 顶层应是 event-first，而不是 Query-first：
+
+```python
+class AgentRunContext(BaseModel):
+    run_id: str
+    trigger: AgentTrigger
+    event: AgentEventContext
+    conversation: ConversationContext | None = None
+    actor: ActorContext | None = None
+    subject: SubjectContext | None = None
+    input: AgentInput
+    resources: AgentResources
+    context: ContextAccess
+    state: AgentRunState
+    runtime: AgentRuntimeContext
+    config: dict[str, Any]
+```
+
+`messages` 可以作为兼容字段或 bootstrap 字段，但不应继续是协议核心。
+
+### 5.5 AgentRunResult
+
+输出应是事件流：
+
+```python
+class AgentRunResult(BaseModel):
+    type: Literal[
+        "message.delta",
+        "message.completed",
+        "tool.call.started",
+        "tool.call.completed",
+        "state.updated",
+        "artifact.created",
+        "action.requested",
+        "run.completed",
+        "run.failed",
+    ]
+    data: dict[str, Any] = {}
+```
+
+当前消息回复只消费 `message.delta` / `message.completed` / `run.failed`。平台动作执行等 EBA 和 platform API 权限落地后再启用。
+
+### 5.6 AgentRunAPIProxy
+
+Proxy 是 runner 访问 host 能力的唯一入口：
+
+- model APIs
+- tool APIs
+- knowledge APIs
+- state / storage APIs
+- history / event APIs
+- artifact APIs
+- platform APIs
+
+所有请求必须带 `run_id`，host 侧按 active run session 验证 runner identity 和 resource ACL。
+
+## 6. 当前实现与目标差距
+
+**已落地（当前分支）**：
+
+- ✅ `AgentRunnerRegistry`
+- ✅ `AgentRunOrchestrator` — event-first `run(event, binding)`
+- ✅ `AgentRunContextBuilder` — event-first context
+- ✅ `AgentResourceBuilder`
+- ✅ `AgentRunSessionRegistry`
+- ✅ `AgentRunAPIProxy` — model / tool / knowledge / history / event / artifact / state APIs
+- ✅ `PipelineAdapter` — Query → Event + Binding
+- ✅ `AgentBinding` 抽象
+- ✅ `AgentEventEnvelope` 抽象
+- ✅ `max-round` 从目标设计中移除，只在 Pipeline adapter 中处理
+- ✅ `PersistentStateStore` — 持久化状态存储
+- ✅ `EventLogStore` / `TranscriptStore` / `ArtifactStore`
+- ✅ history / artifact / event 的受限拉取 API
+
+**其他分支负责（非本分支范围）**：
+
+- EventGateway 实现
+- EventRouter 实现
+- AgentBinding 持久化 UI
+- platform API 动作执行
+
+## 7. 落地顺序
+
+**已完成**：
+
+1. ✅ 固化 README 路由和专题文档边界。
+2. ✅ 在 Host 中抽象 `AgentBinding`，由 Pipeline adapter 生成。
+3. ✅ 将 `AgentRunContextBuilder` 改为 event-first。
+4. ✅ 增加持久 transcript/event log/artifact/state 存储模型。
+5. ✅ 扩展 `AgentRunAPIProxy` 的 history / artifact / state API。
+6. ✅ 将 Pipeline-only 字段下沉到 Pipeline adapter。
+7. ✅ 官方 runner 插件迁移完成（7 个插件）。
+
+**后续工作（其他分支）**：
+
+- EventGateway 实现
+- EventRouter 与 BindingResolver 集成
+- 平台动作执行器

+# Agent Runner 插件化当前实现与收尾计划
+
+本文档面向实现 agent，用来把当前 AgentRunner 插件化实现推进到可迁移状态。
+
+当前代码已经不是从零开始的 PoC。LangBot 已经具备 registry、orchestrator、context/resource builder、result normalizer 和插件 runtime action。本计划重点描述剩余工作：补齐宿主通用能力、对齐旧内置 runner 行为、完成官方 runner 插件迁移验收。
+
+## 1. 最终状态
+
+LangBot 最终只保留 Agent Runner 的宿主能力：
+
+- 发现 runner：`AgentRunnerRegistry`
+- 选择 runner：Pipeline 配置和未来事件绑定配置
+- 构造上下文：`AgentRunContext`
+- 裁剪资源：模型、工具、知识库、文件、存储、平台能力
+- 调度执行：`AgentRunOrchestrator`
+- 归一结果：`AgentRunResult` -> 当前 Pipeline 的 `Message` / `MessageChunk`
+- 隔离错误：插件异常、协议错误、超时、结果过大不能破坏主流程
+- 迁移旧配置：把旧内置 runner 配置迁到官方 AgentRunner 插件配置
+- 转发调用：插件 runtime 只维护已安装插件本身的运行实例，Pipeline 不创建插件实例或 runner 实例
+
+LangBot 不再长期维护内置业务 runner 分支。`local-agent`、Dify、n8n、Coze、DashScope、Langflow、Tbox 等都迁到官方 AgentRunner 插件。
+
+迁移期间允许旧 `RequestRunner` 文件继续存在，作为行为对齐基准和回退分析材料。它们不影响当前进度；真正的最终条件是主聊天执行路径不再依赖旧 runner。
+
+## 1.1 当前状态快照
+
+已完成或基本完成：
+
+- `AgentRunnerDescriptor`、runner id 解析、registry。
+- `AgentRunOrchestrator` 替换 `ChatMessageHandler` 内部 runner 调度。
+- `AgentRunContextBuilder`、`AgentResourceBuilder`、`AgentResultNormalizer`。
+- `ai.runner.id` + `ai.runner_config[id]` 的读取与旧配置映射。
+- AgentRunner runtime action：`LIST_AGENT_RUNNERS`、`RUN_AGENT`。
+- run-scoped proxy authorization：模型、工具、知识库、存储、文件。
+
+仍需收尾：
+
+- `AgentRunContext` 暴露宿主处理后的有效 prompt、结构化输入和 runtime metadata。
+- AgentRun proxy action 通过 `run_id/query_id` 找回当前 Query，保留旧 runner 行为所需上下文。
+- `AgentResourceBuilder` 按 DynamicForm schema 泛化模型/rerank/知识库/文件授权。
+- 官方 `local-agent` 插件完成旧内置 local-agent parity。
+- timeout/deadline、取消、插件无输出、协议错误的端到端保护。
+- 官方 runner 插件安装/预装/迁移缺失处理。
+
+## 2. 高层架构
+
+```text
+Pipeline MessageProcessor / future EventRouter
+        |
+        v
+AgentRunOrchestrator
+        |
+        +--> AgentRunnerRegistry
+        |       +--> plugin runtime LIST_AGENT_RUNNERS
+        |       +--> descriptor cache / validation
+        |
+        +--> AgentRunContextBuilder
+        +--> AgentResourceBuilder
+        +--> AgentResultNormalizer
+        |
+        v
+PluginRuntimeConnector.run_agent()
+        |
+        v
+SDK Runtime RUN_AGENT -> plugin AgentRunner.run()
+```
+
+关键约束：
+
+- `ChatMessageHandler` 不解析 `plugin:*`，不实例化 wrapper，不知道 runner 组件细节。
+- `PipelineService.get_pipeline_metadata()` 不直接访问插件 runtime，而是读取 registry。
+- 旧 `RequestRunner` 只作为迁移参考，不作为最终运行路径。
+- `AgentRunOrchestrator` 是 LangBot 侧运行编排层：负责 runner 绑定解析、资源授权、context envelope provisioning、run scope 注册、插件调用和结果归一化；不负责决定 Agent 的最终 prompt/window/压缩策略。
+- 插件是无状态执行单元：多个 Pipeline 可以绑定同一个 runner id，并分别保存自己的 `ai.runner_config[id]`；运行时 LangBot 只把当前绑定配置放入 `ctx.config` 转发给同一个插件 runner。
+- 禁止按 Pipeline 或 runner config 创建多个插件实例。需要跨请求持久化的状态必须走明确授权的 plugin storage / workspace storage / 外部服务，不能隐式保存在 per-pipeline 插件对象里。
+- EBA 只做字段预留，不在本轮实现 EventBus、EventRouter、平台动作执行。
+
+## 3. 新增 LangBot 模块
+
+建议新增：
+
+```text
+src/langbot/pkg/agent/
+  __init__.py
+  runner/
+    __init__.py
+    descriptor.py
+    errors.py
+    id.py
+    registry.py
+    context_builder.py
+    resource_builder.py
+    orchestrator.py
+    result_normalizer.py
+    config_migration.py
+```
+
+### 3.1 descriptor.py
+
+定义 LangBot 内部使用的 descriptor：
+
+```python
+class AgentRunnerDescriptor(BaseModel):
+    id: str
+    source: Literal["plugin"]
+    label: dict[str, str]
+    description: dict[str, str] | None = None
+    plugin_author: str
+    plugin_name: str
+    runner_name: str
+    plugin_version: str | None = None
+    protocol_version: str = "1"
+    config_schema: list[dict[str, Any]] = []
+    capabilities: dict[str, bool] = {}
+    permissions: dict[str, list[str]] = {}
+    raw_manifest: dict[str, Any] = {}
+```
+
+`source == "builtin"` 不作为最终目标。如果实现阶段需要临时 adapter，必须标记为测试过渡代码，并在官方插件跑通后删除。
+
+### 3.2 id.py
+
+统一 runner id 解析和生成：
+
+- 插件 runner id：`plugin:{author}/{plugin_name}/{runner_name}`
+- `parse_runner_id(id)` 返回结构化对象
+- 禁止业务代码手写字符串 split
+- PoC 已存在的 `plugin:author/name/runner` 继续作为合法 id
+
+### 3.3 registry.py
+
+职责：
+
+- 调用 `ap.plugin_connector.list_agent_runners(bound_plugins=None)` 拉取插件 runner
+- 校验 manifest：
+  - `kind == AgentRunner`
+  - `metadata.name` 存在
+  - `metadata.label` 存在
+  - `spec.protocol_version` 兼容，默认 `1`
+  - `spec.config` 是 list，默认空
+  - `spec.capabilities` 是 dict，默认空
+  - `spec.permissions` 是 dict，默认空
+- 输出 `AgentRunnerDescriptor`
+- 缓存 discovery 结果，提供 `refresh()`
+- 单个插件 manifest 失败只记录 warning，不影响其它 runner
+
+刷新触发点：
+
+- 插件安装、卸载、升级、重启后
+- Pipeline metadata 请求时发现缓存为空
+- 可选 TTL，优先保证正确性
+
+### 3.4 context_builder.py
+
+把当前 Pipeline query 转换成 SDK v1 `AgentRunContext` envelope。这里做协议字段组装、Host-owned 状态快照、授权资源挂载和默认工作窗口 provisioning，不承担 Agent 的最终 prompt 组装或长期记忆/压缩策略。
+
+当前消息 Pipeline 的最小字段：
+
+- `run_id`: 新 UUID，不使用 query id 作为全局 run id
+- `trigger.type`: `message.received`
+- `conversation`: launcher、sender、bot、pipeline、历史消息
+- `event`: message event envelope 子集，`event_type` 使用稳定协议名，平台/SDK 原始事件名放入 `event_data.source_event_type`
+- `actor`: sender
+- `subject`: 当前消息或 launcher
+- `prompt`: 宿主已处理的有效 prompt，即 `query.prompt.messages`
+- `messages`: `query.messages` 进入 AgentRunner context packaging 后的历史窗口。插件化 AgentRunner 路径不再由 Pipeline `msgtrun` 截断
+- `runtime.metadata.context_packaging`: Host 本次实际下发的历史窗口元数据，例如来源、策略、下发消息数、完整性；未来可扩展 cursor 和 host-side history API
+- `input`: 从 `query.user_message` 和 `query.message_chain` 构造
+- `params`: 过滤后的公开业务变量
+- `resources`: 由 `resource_builder` 注入
+- `state`: host-managed scoped state snapshot
+- `runtime`: host/version/workspace/bot/pipeline/query/trace/deadline
+- `config`: 当前 Pipeline 对该 runner id 的绑定配置，即 `ai.runner_config[runner_id]`
+
+保留 SDK legacy helper 是 SDK 的责任，LangBot 不再构造 PoC 的 `query_id/session/messages/user_message/extra_config` 上下文。
+
+`prompt` 的语义必须明确：它不是静态配置 `config["prompt"]`，而是 LangBot PreProcessor 和 `PromptPreProcessing` 插件事件之后的有效 prompt。旧内置 local-agent 请求模型时使用：
+
+```python
+query.prompt.messages + query.messages + [query.user_message]
+```
+
+插件化 runner 要保持行为一致，应消费：
+
+```python
+ctx.prompt + ctx.messages + [current_user_message_from_ctx.input]
+```
+
+现阶段不要优化裁剪算法，也不要把新的压缩或 token-budget 裁剪塞回 Pipeline stage。
+插件化 AgentRunner 路径应跳过 Pipeline `msgtrun` 的破坏性截断，然后由
+`AgentContextPackager` 在 AgentRunner 边界执行同一套 max-round user-round 规则。
+当前 SDK v1 还没有顶层 context packaging 字段，LangBot 先把本次 packaging
+元数据放在 `ctx.runtime.metadata.context_packaging`。这是实际下发结果说明，不是 LangBot 侧的长期策略控制面。
+后续 LiteLLM 接入后再把真实 context window、token 预算和摘要策略接到这个边界上。
+
+### 3.4.1 Agentic context plan
+
+本轮只落地 `AgentContextPackager` 的 `max_round` working window，不改变 user-round 选择规则。
+下面的 `ConversationStore` / `EventLog`、`ContextCompressor` 和 host history API 仍是设计预留。
+目标是让 Pipeline 逐步退化为入口 adapter，让 AgentRunner 层拥有上下文打包职责。
+
+建议最终拆成四个 host-side 服务：
+
+```text
+ConversationStore / EventLog
+  -> durable append-only raw messages, events, tool results, artifact refs
+ConversationProjection
+  -> converts events into agent-readable conversation history
+AgentContextPackager
+  -> builds the bounded working context for one run
+ContextCompressor
+  -> creates and updates summaries/checkpoints when thresholds are exceeded
+```
+
+关键原则：
+
+- 完整历史属于 LangBot host，不属于插件实例。插件仍是 singleton/stateless。
+- `ctx.messages` 是 working context window，不是完整 conversation dump。
+- 每轮不能全量复制/序列化完整历史给插件 runtime；否则长会话会产生 O(n) 成本和跨进程 payload 膨胀。
+- `max-round` 的 user-round 规则可以先搬到 `AgentContextPackager`，作为 `max_round` adapter 策略。
+- LiteLLM 接入后，`AgentContextPackager` 再读取模型 context window，升级为 token budget 策略。
+- `ContextCompressor` 生成的是派生 summary/checkpoint，不能覆盖或删除 raw history。
+- 重启恢复依赖持久化 store 和 summary checkpoint，不依赖 `SessionManager` 里的进程内 conversation list。
+
+后续 `AgentRunContext` 可增加：
+
+```python
+context_request: AgentContextRequest | None
+context_packaging: ContextPackagingMetadata
+```
+
+建议语义：
+
+- `context_request.mode`: AgentRunner manifest / binding config 请求的 `max_round`、`token_budget`、`summary_hybrid`、`external_session`
+- `context_request.budget`: 模型窗口、预留输出 token、工具/RAG 预算等偏好
+- `context_packaging.policy`: Host 本次实际采用的打包策略
+- `context_packaging.delivered_count`: 本次下发的历史消息数
+- `context_packaging.source_total_count`: packager 可见的原始历史消息数
+- `context_packaging.messages_complete`: 本窗口是否已经包含完整历史
+- `context_packaging.cursor_before`: 未来通过 host API 读取更早历史的 cursor
+
+未来需要的受限 API：
+
+```python
+api.get_conversation_messages(cursor: str | None, limit: int) -> HistoryPage
+api.get_context_summary(scope: str = "conversation") -> ContextSummary | None
+api.request_context_compaction(policy: dict) -> CompactionResult
+```
+
+这些 API 必须绑定 `run_id`、runner id、actor/subject scope 和资源权限；Host 需要限制
+page size、总字节数、deadline 和可访问 conversation。
+
+### 3.4.2 Large artifacts and tool collaboration
+
+大文件、多模态输入和工具产物不要内联进 `ctx.messages` 或 tool result。后续统一用
+artifact/resource ref 协作：
+
+- message/content 里只放小文本和必要摘要。
+- 大文件、图片、音频、长工具输出返回 `artifact_id`、`mime_type`、`size`、`digest`、
+  `summary`、`expires_at`、`permissions`。
+- `/tmp` 只能作为单次 run 的临时 staging，用于插件或工具短时间读写；它不是 durable store，
+  也不能作为重启恢复依据。
+- box/object storage 是长期 artifact 的目标位置。当前分支尚未合并 box 能力，因此本轮只写文档预留，不实现 API。
+- 工具之间传递大结果时应传 artifact ref，不传完整 blob。Agent 需要读取时走受限 proxy。
+
+未来建议 API：
+
+```python
+api.get_artifact_metadata(artifact_id: str) -> ArtifactMetadata
+api.open_artifact_stream(artifact_id: str) -> AsyncIterator[bytes]
+api.read_artifact_range(artifact_id: str, offset: int, length: int) -> bytes
+api.create_temp_artifact(name: str, content_type: str, ttl_seconds: int) -> ArtifactWriter
+```
+
+安全约束：
+
+- Host 校验 artifact 是否属于当前 run、conversation、actor/subject scope 或授权资源。
+- 默认不允许插件直接读任意本地路径，包括 `/tmp` 任意路径。
+- 临时文件应有 TTL 和清理机制；box artifact 应有 retention policy。
+- 多模态文件进入模型前，由 runner/context packager 决定传引用、摘要、缩略图还是实际 bytes。
+
+### 3.5 resource_builder.py
+
+执行前做三层裁剪：
+
+1. runner manifest 声明的 `spec.permissions`
+2. Pipeline 的 `extensions_preferences`
+3. 当前 Pipeline runner 绑定配置中选择的资源范围
+
+输出写入 `ctx.resources`，至少覆盖：
+
+- models：可调用模型 UUID、类型、能力摘要。包括 LLM、fallback LLM、rerank 等 runner config schema 中选择的模型类资源。
+- tools：可见工具 manifest，使用当前 bound plugins / MCP server 范围
+- knowledge_bases：可检索知识库列表
+- storage：plugin storage / workspace storage 权限摘要
+- files：允许读取的配置文件、知识文件摘要
+- platform_capabilities：本阶段只声明，不执行平台动作
+
+注意：旧的 unrestricted proxy action 必须二次校验，不能只靠 context 声明。AgentRunner 可用资源应来自 `ctx.resources`，不是插件 runtime 的全局能力。
+
+资源裁剪要尽量通用，不应只写死 local-agent：
+
+- `model-fallback-selector` 授权 primary/fallback LLM。
+- `llm-model-selector` 授权 LLM。
+- `rerank-model-selector` 授权 rerank 模型。
+- `knowledge-base-multi-selector` 授权知识库。
+- 后续新增 selector 时应在 resource builder 中统一扩展。
+
+### 3.5.1 future EventRouter 预留
+
+当前分支不实现 EBA EventRouter，但 AgentRunner 协议必须从现在开始兼容非消息事件。未来不要为消息撤回、群成员加入、好友申请各写一套 runner wrapper；统一入口应是：
+
+```text
+EventRouter -> AgentRunOrchestrator.run_from_event(event_request)
+```
+
+EBA 落地后，`ConversationStore` 不应只保存聊天消息，而应从 `EventLog` 投影生成：
+
+```text
+Platform Adapter
+  -> EventLog append raw event
+  -> ConversationProjection update message/history view when applicable
+  -> EventRouter resolve binding
+  -> AgentRunOrchestrator.run_from_event(event_request)
+  -> AgentContextPackager build working context from projection + state + artifacts
+```
+
+这样消息事件、工具事件、群成员事件、好友申请事件可以共用同一套 run/session/state/resource
+边界；非消息事件也不需要伪造成一条用户文本消息。
+
+`event_request` 至少需要包含：
+
+- `event_type`: 稳定协议名，例如 `message.recalled`、`group.member_joined`、`friend.request_received`
+- `event_id` / `event_timestamp`
+- `event_data`: 平台原始 payload 摘要和 source event type
+- `actor`: 触发者，例如撤回操作者、新成员、好友申请人
+- `subject`: 事件作用对象，例如被撤回消息、群/成员关系、好友申请
+- `conversation`: 可选。群事件有 launcher 语义，好友申请可能还没有 conversation
+- `input`: 可选结构化输入。非消息事件允许 `text=None`、`contents=[]`
+- `binding`: 事件绑定解析出的 runner id、runner config、资源范围
+
+先保留的稳定事件名：
+
+- `message.received`
+- `message.recalled`
+- `group.member_joined`
+- `friend.request_received`
+
+这些事件名应作为插件协议的一部分保持稳定。平台原始事件名只能进入 `event_data`，不能成为 `ctx.event.event_type` 的公共契约。
+
+### 3.6 result_normalizer.py
+
+只接受 SDK v1 result：
+
+- `message.delta`
+- `message.completed`
+- `tool.call.started`
+- `tool.call.completed`
+- `state.updated`
+- `run.completed`
+- `run.failed`
+- `action.requested` 允许实验性返回，但本阶段只记录 telemetry，不执行
+
+映射：
+
+- `message.delta.data.chunk` -> `provider_message.MessageChunk`
+- `message.completed.data.message` -> `provider_message.Message`
+- `run.completed.data.message` -> `provider_message.Message`
+- `run.failed` -> 抛出受控异常，让 `ChatMessageHandler` 使用现有错误策略
+- 工具和状态事件默认不 yield 到 Pipeline，只记录 debug/telemetry
+
+防护：
+
+- 未知 type warning 后忽略
+- 单 result 序列化大小限制
+- provider message schema 校验失败转 `run.failed`
+- 插件没有输出任何消息时，按 runner failed 处理
+
+### 3.7 orchestrator.py
+
+核心入口：
+
+```python
+async def run_from_query(query: pipeline_query.Query) -> AsyncGenerator[Message | MessageChunk, None]:
+    runner_id = resolve_runner_id(query.pipeline_config)
+    descriptor = await registry.get(runner_id, bound_plugins=query.variables.get("_pipeline_bound_plugins"))
+    ctx = await context_builder.from_query(query, descriptor)
+    async for raw in plugin_connector.run_agent(...):
+        async for message in result_normalizer.normalize(raw):
+            yield message
+```
+
+必须覆盖：
+
+- runner id 不存在
+- 插件系统关闭
+- runner 不在 bound plugins 范围内
+- 插件 runtime 断连
+- runner 协议版本不兼容
+- run 超时
+- task cancellation
+
+## 4. 配置模型直接切换
+
+配置模型表达的是 Pipeline 到 runner id 的绑定，不表达插件实例。插件安装后由 plugin runtime 管理单个插件运行实例；不同 Pipeline 选择同一个 runner id 时，只是保存不同的 `runner_config[id]`，调用时随 `AgentRunContext.config` 传入。
+
+目标格式：
+
+```json
+{
+  "ai": {
+    "runner": {
+      "id": "plugin:langbot/local-agent/default",
+      "expire-time": 0
+    },
+    "runner_config": {
+      "plugin:langbot/local-agent/default": {}
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+兼容读取：
+
+- 优先读 `ai.runner.id`
+- 没有 `id` 时读旧 `ai.runner.runner`
+- 旧内置 runner 名通过迁移表映射：
+  - `local-agent` -> `plugin:langbot/local-agent/default`
+  - `dify-service-api` -> `plugin:langbot/dify-agent/default`
+  - `n8n-service-api` -> `plugin:langbot/n8n-agent/default`
+  - `coze-api` -> `plugin:langbot/coze-agent/default`
+  - `dashscope-app-api` -> `plugin:langbot/dashscope-agent/default`
+  - `langflow-api` -> `plugin:langbot/langflow-agent/default`
+  - `tbox-app-api` -> `plugin:langbot/tbox-agent/default`
+
+写入策略：
+
+- 新 UI 只写 `ai.runner.id` 和 `ai.runner_config`
+- 后端 update 接口接受旧字段，但保存时归一成新格式
+- migration 最后统一落库
+
+## 5. 需要修改的 LangBot 范围
+
+必须修改：
+
+- `src/langbot/pkg/core/app.py`
+  - 增加 `agent_runner_registry` / `agent_run_orchestrator` 属性
+- `src/langbot/pkg/core/stages/build_app.py`
+  - 初始化 Agent 子系统
+- `src/langbot/pkg/pipeline/process/handlers/chat.py`
+  - 删除 `PluginAgentRunnerWrapper`
+  - 删除内置 runner 查找逻辑
+  - 调用 orchestrator
+- `src/langbot/pkg/api/http/service/pipeline.py`
+  - metadata 从 registry 生成
+- `src/langbot/pkg/plugin/connector.py`
+  - `list_agent_runners()` / `run_agent()` 增加协议校验和 bound plugin 参数
+- `src/langbot/pkg/plugin/handler.py`
+  - proxy action 二次权限校验
+- `src/langbot/pkg/pipeline/preproc/preproc.py`
+  - 不再只为 `local-agent` 构造工具、知识库、模型
+  - 对所有 agent runner 保留 multimodal input
+- `src/langbot/pkg/pipeline/pipelinemgr.py`
+  - runner name 监控改读 `runner.id`
+- `src/langbot/templates/metadata/pipeline/ai.yaml`
+  - runner 字段从 `runner` 迁到 `id`
+- `src/langbot/templates/default-pipeline-config.json`
+  - 默认 runner 改为官方 local-agent 插件 id
+- `web/src/app/home/pipelines/components/pipeline-form/PipelineFormComponent.tsx`
+  - 当前 runner 改读 `ai.runner.id`
+  - runner 配置区改写入 `ai.runner_config[id]`
+
+最终删除或停用：
+
+- `src/langbot/pkg/provider/runner.py` 的业务注册路径
+- `src/langbot/pkg/provider/runners/*` 的运行入口
+
+可以暂时保留文件作为官方插件迁移参考，但不应被运行时引用。
+
+## 6. 收尾实现顺序
+
+### Step 1：补齐宿主上下文
+
+- SDK `AgentRunContext` 增加 `prompt`，并保持向后兼容默认空列表。
+- LangBot context builder 写入 `ctx.prompt`、`ctx.input.contents`、`ctx.runtime.metadata.streaming_supported`、`ctx.runtime.metadata.remove_think`。
+- 保持 `ctx.config` 只表达静态绑定配置。
+
+### Step 2：增强宿主 AgentRun proxy action
+
+- `invoke_llm` / `invoke_llm_stream` 通过 `run_id/query_id` 找回当前 Query。
+- 自动合并 model persisted `extra_args` 与 action-level override。
+- 自动应用 pipeline `remove-think`，并允许 action 显式 override。
+- `call_tool` 传回当前 Query，恢复旧工具调用上下文。
+- `retrieve_knowledge` 保持 `bot_uuid`、`sender_id`、`session_name` 等 settings。
+- `invoke_rerank` 使用 run-scoped model authorization。
+
+### Step 3：泛化资源构建
+
+- 按 manifest permissions + bound plugins/MCP + runner config schema 构造资源。
+- 支持 primary/fallback LLM、rerank model、KB selector。
+- 不把 local-agent 特例扩散到通用资源层。
+
+### Step 4：local-agent parity
+
+- 使用 `ctx.prompt` 而不是重新读取 `ctx.config["prompt"]`。
+- 当前 user message 从 `ctx.input.contents` 构造，保留多模态内容。
+- RAG 只替换/插入文本部分，不丢图片/文件。
+- streaming/non-streaming 默认跟随 `runtime.metadata.streaming_supported`。
+- 首轮 fallback 成功后，tool loop 固定使用 committed model。
+- tool loop 继续传可用 tools，支持多步工具调用。
+- rerank 通过授权模型资源调用。
+
+### Step 5：端到端保护和测试
+
+- 插件无输出时按 runner failed 处理。
+- timeout/deadline 覆盖 plugin runtime、模型调用和外部 runner 调用。
+- runner 协议错误转受控错误。
+- 覆盖旧 local-agent 行为 parity：普通回复、流式、工具、多步工具、KB、rerank、多模态、PromptPreProcessing。
+
+### Step 6：官方 runner 迁移
+
+- 官方插件 ready 后移除内置 runner registry
+- 删除或隔离 provider runners 的运行引用
+- 测试旧 runner 名只能通过 migration 映射到插件 id
+
+### Step 7：历史配置迁移
+
+- 写 persistence migration
+- 更新 default pipeline config
+- 对已存在 Pipeline 执行旧字段到新字段迁移
+- 对监控/日志里的 runner 字段改用新 id
+
+## 7. 测试要求
+
+单测：
+
+- runner id parse / format
+- registry manifest 校验、失败隔离、bound plugins 过滤
+- context builder 从 query 生成完整 v1 context
+- resource builder 三层裁剪
+- result normalizer 对每种 result type 的映射
+- 旧配置 resolve 和 migration
+
+集成测试：
+
+- fake AgentRunner 插件可被 Pipeline 选择
+- streaming 输出仍能更新 message card
+- 插件异常返回用户可理解错误，不中断 runtime
+- runner 不在 bound plugins 时不可执行
+- 未授权工具 / 知识库 / 模型 proxy 调用被拒绝
+- 旧 `local-agent` Pipeline 配置迁到官方插件 id
+
+## 8. 验收标准
+
+- LangBot Pipeline 可以选择插件 AgentRunner 并完成非流式和流式回复。
+- `ChatMessageHandler` 不包含插件 runner 解析和 wrapper。
+- `PipelineService` 不直接拼插件 runner metadata。
+- 所有 runner 配置使用 `ai.runner.id` + `ai.runner_config`。
+- 插件 runtime 不为每个 Pipeline 或 runner 配置创建插件实例；`runner_config` 只作为绑定配置随 `ctx.config` 传入。
+- 主聊天路径不再通过旧内置 runner 执行业务 runner。迁移期间旧文件可以保留。
+- 插件只能访问 `ctx.resources` 授权的模型、工具、知识库和文件。
+- 宿主 action 能为 AgentRunner 调用恢复必要 Query 语义，插件不需要拿裸 Query。
+- 官方 `local-agent` 插件对外行为与旧内置 local-agent 对齐。
+- EBA 相关字段只作为 context/result 预留，不执行平台动作。

+# 官方 AgentRunner 插件迁移计划
+
+本文档描述内置 `RequestRunner` 迁出 LangBot 后，官方 runner 插件如何组织、迁移和验收。
+它是 [HOST_SDK_INFRASTRUCTURE.md](./HOST_SDK_INFRASTRUCTURE.md) 和
+[AGENT_CONTEXT_PROTOCOL.md](./AGENT_CONTEXT_PROTOCOL.md) 的下游落地计划，不是 LangBot
+宿主协议的设计前提。
+
+官方 `local-agent` 可以外移，也可以重写。设计重点不是保留旧内置 runner 的内部结构，
+而是验证一个依附 LangBot host 基础设施的官方 agent 能否完整工作。同时，LangBot 的
+host 协议必须服务 Claude Code SDK、Codex、Pi Agent SDK、外部 Agent 平台等自管
+context/runtime 的 runner，不能被官方插件的实现细节绑死。
+
+当前实现已经进入过渡阶段：
+
+- LangBot 主聊天路径通过 `AgentRunOrchestrator` 调用插件化 `AgentRunner`。
+- 旧 `src/langbot/pkg/provider/runners/*` 仍保留，作为迁移参考和回退分析材料；在官方插件迁移完成前不要求删除。
+- 官方 runner 当前以独立插件目录/仓库推进，例如 `langbot-local-agent/` 和 `langbot-agent-runner/*-agent/`。不再要求先落地单一 monorepo。
+
+## 1. 为什么新仓库
+
+官方 runner 插件会和 LangBot 主仓库、SDK 仓库以不同节奏迭代：
+
+- LangBot 主仓库只维护宿主协议和调度。
+- SDK 仓库维护 AgentRunner 组件和 runtime 协议。
+- 官方 runner 插件承载业务 runner 的具体实现和第三方平台适配。
+
+不要把官方 runner 插件重新绑死在 LangBot 主仓库内。允许开发期使用本地路径插件，但运行边界必须保持为：
+
+- LangBot 提供通用宿主能力：当前事件、context handles、资源授权、状态/存储、历史、artifact、模型/工具/知识库调用代理、结果归一。
+- 插件消费这些公开能力，实现具体 runner 行为。
+- LangBot 默认不把全量历史消息 inline 给 runner；runner 按需通过授权 API 拉取历史和 artifact。
+- 旧内置 runner 只作为行为对齐的基准，不作为长期运行路径。
+
+## 2. 仓库结构
+
+当前推荐策略是“官方插件可独立发布，必要时共享 SDK helper”。开发期可以采用本地多目录布局：
+
+```text
+langbot-app/
+  langbot-local-agent/
+    manifest.yaml
+    components/agent_runner/default.yaml
+    components/agent_runner/default.py
+    pkg/
+    tests/
+  langbot-agent-runner/
+    n8n-agent/
+    ...
+```
+
+后续可以把多个官方 runner 聚合进 monorepo，也可以继续独立发布。这个选择不影响协议设计；协议边界由 SDK 和 LangBot 宿主保证。
+
+如果多个 runner 出现重复逻辑，优先沉淀到 SDK 或一个明确的共享 helper 包，不要把宿主私有结构泄漏给插件。
+
+## 3. 插件命名和 runner id
+
+固定映射：
+
+| 旧 runner | 官方插件 | runner id |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `local-agent` | `langbot/local-agent` | `plugin:langbot/local-agent/default` |
+| `dify-service-api` | `langbot/dify-agent` | `plugin:langbot/dify-agent/default` |
+| `n8n-service-api` | `langbot/n8n-agent` | `plugin:langbot/n8n-agent/default` |
+| `coze-api` | `langbot/coze-agent` | `plugin:langbot/coze-agent/default` |
+| `dashscope-app-api` | `langbot/dashscope-agent` | `plugin:langbot/dashscope-agent/default` |
+| `langflow-api` | `langbot/langflow-agent` | `plugin:langbot/langflow-agent/default` |
+| `tbox-app-api` | `langbot/tbox-agent` | `plugin:langbot/tbox-agent/default` |
+
+每个插件可以后续提供多个 runner，但迁移目标的默认 runner 统一叫 `default`。
+
+## 4. 迁移优先级
+
+### Batch 1：打通协议
+
+1. `local-agent`
+2. `dify-agent`
+
+原因：
+
+- `local-agent` 覆盖模型、工具、知识库、流式、会话历史，是能力最完整的基准。
+- `dify-agent` 代表外部 Agent 平台调用，配置和错误处理能验证传统 service API runner 的迁移方式。
+
+### Batch 2：迁移外部 workflow runner
+
+1. `n8n-agent`
+2. `langflow-agent`
+
+这批主要验证 webhook/workflow 输入输出、timeout、外部 conversation id。
+
+### Batch 3：迁移平台 Agent API
+
+1. `coze-agent`
+2. `dashscope-agent`
+3. `tbox-agent`
+
+这批主要验证平台特有响应格式、引用资料、文件/图片输入。
+
+## 5. 每个官方插件的组件要求
+
+每个插件至少包含：
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: langbot/v1
+kind: AgentRunner
+metadata:
+  name: default
+  label:
+    en_US: Dify Agent
+    zh_Hans: Dify Agent
+  description:
+    en_US: Run a Dify application as a LangBot AgentRunner.
+    zh_Hans: 将 Dify 应用作为 LangBot AgentRunner 运行。
+spec:
+  config: []
+  capabilities:
+    streaming: true
+    tool_calling: false
+    knowledge_retrieval: false
+    multimodal_input: false
+    event_context: true
+    platform_api: false
+    interrupt: false
+    stateful_session: true
+  permissions:
+    models: []
+    tools: []
+    knowledge_bases: []
+    storage: ["plugin"]
+    files: []
+    platform_api: []
+execution:
+  python:
+    path: ./main.py
+    attr: DefaultAgentRunner
+```
+
+## 6. local-agent 插件方向
+
+`local-agent` 是官方插件中的重要消费者，但不是宿主协议的设计中心。它可以选择复用
+旧实现，也可以完全重写。它需要证明：一个主要依附 LangBot host 能力的 agent runner
+可以通过公开协议完成模型、工具、知识库、状态、history、artifact、上下文压缩和消息投递。
+
+LangBot core 不应为了 local-agent 保留业务编排逻辑。local-agent 的 prompt 组装、history
+拉取、summary/checkpoint、tool loop、RAG 编排、fallback、多模态处理都应在插件内完成。
+
+迁移或重写时需要覆盖旧内置 runner 的用户可见能力：
+
+- model primary/fallback 选择
+- prompt
+- knowledge-bases
+- rerank-model
+- rerank-top-k
+- function calling
+- streaming
+- multimodal input
+- conversation history
+- monitoring metadata
+
+与 LangBot 主仓库的责任边界：
+
+- LangBot 构造当前事件、结构化输入、资源授权、context handles、state/storage 能力和 delivery 能力
+- LangBot 不默认 inline 全量历史，不替插件组装最终模型上下文
+- 插件负责选择模型、拼请求、调用 LLM、处理 tool call loop、输出 result stream
+- 插件不能绕过 `ctx.resources` 调用未授权模型、工具或知识库
+
+为了保持旧内置 runner 的用户可见行为，`local-agent` 插件应消费宿主处理后的有效输入和
+受限 API，而不是读取宿主内部私有结构：
+
+- `ctx.event` / `ctx.input`：当前结构化输入，必须保留图片、文件等多模态内容。
+- `ctx.context`：history cursor、inline policy、可用 context API。
+- `AgentRunAPIProxy.history`：按需读取 transcript，而不是依赖 host 每轮强塞历史窗口。
+- `AgentRunAPIProxy.artifacts`：按需读取图片、文件、工具大结果。
+- `AgentRunAPIProxy.state` / storage：保存 summary、外部 conversation id、用户偏好等可选状态。
+- `ctx.resources`：已授权模型、工具、知识库、文件和 storage。
+- `ctx.runtime.metadata.streaming_supported`：当前 adapter 是否能消费流式输出。
+- 宿主代理 action：模型、工具、知识库、rerank 调用必须通过 `run_id` 校验资源权限。
+
+`max-round` 可作为 Pipeline adapter 的历史配置输入。如需适配 Pipeline 行为，可以把 `max-round` 转成 local-agent 插件自己的 bootstrap/history policy；不要把它提升为 LangBot host 的目标协议字段。
+
+建议 local-agent manifest 使用 hybrid 或 self-managed context：
+
+```yaml
+context:
+  ownership: hybrid
+  bootstrap: current_event
+  max_inline_events: 0
+  max_inline_bytes: 0
+  supports_history_pull: true
+  supports_history_search: true
+  supports_artifact_pull: true
+  owns_compaction: true
+  wants_static_context_refs: true
+```
+
+这表示：LangBot 只给当前事件和 context handles；local-agent 自己决定是否拉取历史、是否搜索、
+何时摘要、如何构造最终 prompt。
+
+## 7. 外部 runner 插件要求
+
+外部平台 runner 迁移时遵循：
+
+- 旧配置字段尽量保持同名，便于 migration 复制
+- 输出统一转换为 `AgentRunResult`
+- 外部 API timeout 从 runner config 读取
+- 平台 conversation id 存 plugin storage 或 context runtime state，不能依赖 LangBot 内置 conversation uuid 私有结构
+- 流式支持按平台能力声明，没有流式就只发 `message.completed`
+
+## 8. 发布和安装策略
+
+最终 LangBot 安装或升级时需要保证官方 runner 插件可用。可选方案：
+
+1. 首次启动检测缺失官方 runner 插件并提示安装。
+2. 打包发行版时预装官方 runner 插件。
+3. 在 migration 前检查对应插件是否存在，不存在则自动安装或阻止迁移。
+
+建议实现顺序：
+
+- 开发阶段使用本地路径插件。
+- 发布前支持 marketplace 安装。
+- 历史配置 migration 只在官方插件可用时执行。
+- 迁移期间保留旧内置 runner 文件，直到对应官方插件通过 parity 验收。
+
+## 9. 验收标准
+
+- 每个旧 runner 都有对应官方 AgentRunner 插件。
+- 旧 runner 配置能无损复制到新 `runner_config[id]`。
+- LangBot 主聊天路径不再通过 `RequestRunner` 执行业务 runner。
+- 官方插件测试覆盖非流式、流式、错误、timeout、配置缺失。
+- `local-agent` 插件能完成模型 fallback、tool calling、知识库检索、多模态输入、prompt preprocessing 后的有效 prompt 消费、rerank。
+- 对外行为与旧内置 local-agent runner 保持一致；代码结构不需要相同。

+# Agent Runner 插件化 Phase 1 QA 验收矩阵
+
+本文档用于指导测试 agent 验收 Phase 1：Agent Runner 插件化是否已经达到旧内置 runner 的对外效果。
+
+Phase 1 的目标是让当前聊天 Pipeline 在选择插件化 AgentRunner 后，用户可感知行为与旧内置 runner 保持一致。Phase 2/EBA 不纳入本轮验收。
+
+本文档是当前分支兼容性验收矩阵，不代表目标架构边界。目标协议以 [PROTOCOL_V1.md](./PROTOCOL_V1.md) 为准：Pipeline 是兼容入口，`messages` 只是 optional bootstrap，LangBot 不默认 inline 全量历史。
+
+## 1. 验收边界
+
+本轮必须验收：
+
+- Pipeline 仍按现有消息入口运行。
+- Runner 由插件提供，并通过 `AgentRunOrchestrator` 调用。
+- `local-agent` 插件达到旧内置 local-agent 的主要行为 parity。
+- 官方外部 runner 插件至少完成 smoke 验收。
+- 旧 Pipeline 配置兼容，新配置可保存并生效。
+- 权限裁剪、错误隔离、运行状态更新不破坏主流程。
+
+本轮不验收：
+
+- EBA EventBus。
+- EBA EventRouter。
+- 消息撤回、群成员加入、好友申请等非消息事件的真实接入。
+- `action.requested` 平台动作执行。
+- 新平台 API 权限模型。
+
+上述非目标只允许检查协议预留是否存在，不允许作为 Phase 1 阻塞项。
+
+## 2. 状态定义
+
+测试 agent 只能使用以下状态：
+
+| 状态 | 含义 |
+| --- | --- |
+| PASS | 按本矩阵步骤执行，所有通过条件满足，并记录证据。 |
+| FAIL | 环境可用，但功能行为不满足通过条件。 |
+| BLOCKED | 因缺少密钥、外部服务不可用、账号/OAuth 未完成、测试数据缺失等环境问题无法执行。必须写清阻塞原因。 |
+| N/A | 当前插件或平台明确不支持该能力。必须引用 manifest capability、文档或配置说明。 |
+
+不能使用“看起来正常”“大概通过”“未完全测试”等模糊状态。
+
+## 3. 总体验收条件
+
+Phase 1 可以关闭的最低条件：
+
+- 所有 P0 case 必须 PASS。
+- `local-agent` 的 P1 parity case 必须 PASS，除非该能力旧内置 runner 也不支持，此时可标 N/A。
+- 官方外部 runner smoke case 至少对已具备凭据和服务的插件 PASS；缺凭据的插件可标 BLOCKED，但必须保留配置页面截图或日志说明。
+- 没有会导致主聊天路径不可用、插件 runtime 崩溃、Pipeline 配置丢失、权限绕过的未解决 FAIL。
+- 所有 FAIL/BLOCKED 都必须记录复现步骤、日志位置、截图或请求/响应摘要。
+
+推荐测试前先运行：
+
+```bash
+uv run --frozen pytest tests/unit_tests/agent
+```
+
+Host 侧 agent runner 单测不通过时，不应进入 UI parity QA。
+
+## 4. 证据要求
+
+每个 case 至少记录：
+
+- LangBot commit、SDK commit、相关 runner 插件 commit。
+- Pipeline UUID/name、runner id、runner config 摘要。
+- WebUI 截图或浏览器操作记录。
+- 后端日志中对应 query id/run id 的关键行。
+- 对外部 runner，记录外部服务响应摘要或错误码。
+
+用户可见流程必须通过 WebUI 或真实消息平台验证。API/curl 只能作为诊断证据，不能单独让 UI case PASS。
+
+## 5. P0 环境与主链路
+
+| ID | 场景 | 步骤 | 通过条件 |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| P0-ENV-01 | LangBot 服务可用 | 启动后端和前端，打开 WebUI。 | WebUI 可登录/访问；后端无启动异常；插件系统按配置启用。 |
+| P0-ENV-02 | 插件 runtime 可用 | 查看插件列表或后端日志。 | runtime 已启动；官方 runner 插件处于可用状态；无循环重启。 |
+| P0-ENV-03 | Runner registry 可发现插件 runner | 打开 Pipeline AI runner 配置。 | runner 下拉列表来自插件 registry；至少能看到 `plugin:langbot/local-agent/default`。 |
+| P0-ENV-04 | 默认 Pipeline 可创建 | 新建 Pipeline 或读取默认 Pipeline。 | 默认配置使用 `ai.runner.id` 与 `ai.runner_config`；默认 runner 可保存。 |
+| P0-ENV-05 | 主聊天路径调用插件 runner | 使用默认 `local-agent` Pipeline 发送一条普通消息。 | 后端日志显示走 `AgentRunOrchestrator` / `RUN_AGENT`；用户收到正常回复；旧内置 runner 不应作为主路径执行。 |
+| P0-ENV-06 | 单测基线 | 运行 `uv run --frozen pytest tests/unit_tests/agent`。 | 全部通过；若失败，必须先修复或记录为 P0 FAIL。 |
+
+## 6. P1 local-agent parity
+
+`local-agent` 是 Phase 1 的主验收对象。以下 case 需要和旧内置 local-agent 的用户可见行为对齐。
+
+| ID | 场景 | 步骤 | 通过条件 |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| P1-LA-01 | 普通文本对话 | 绑定 `plugin:langbot/local-agent/default`，发送普通文本。 | 回复正常生成；conversation history 写入用户消息和助手消息。 |
+| P1-LA-02 | 有效 prompt | 配置 system prompt，并通过 PromptPreProcessing 插件或现有预处理改变 prompt。 | runner 使用 host 处理后的 `ctx.prompt`，不是只读取静态 `ctx.config.prompt`；回复体现有效 prompt。 |
+| P1-LA-03 | 历史消息 | 连续多轮对话，第二轮引用第一轮内容。 | 当前兼容路径下 runner 能读到 host 下发的 bootstrap/history；目标协议下应通过 history API 或插件自管上下文实现。第二轮能基于上下文回答。 |
+| P1-LA-04 | 流式输出 | 使用支持流式的 adapter/WebUI，开启流式模型或流式 runner。 | UI 逐步更新；后端接收 `message.delta`；最终没有重复消息或空白卡片。 |
+| P1-LA-05 | 非流式输出 | 使用不支持流式或关闭流式的路径。 | 只输出最终消息；不会创建异常流式卡片。 |
+| P1-LA-06 | 工具调用 | 绑定一个可调用工具，提问触发工具。 | `ctx.resources.tools` 只包含授权工具；runner 能获取工具详情并调用；最终回复包含工具结果。 |
+| P1-LA-07 | 工具权限裁剪 | 不绑定某工具，但让 runner 尝试调用。 | 调用被拒绝；错误不泄露未授权工具详情；Pipeline 不崩溃。 |
+| P1-LA-08 | RAG 检索 | 绑定知识库并提问命中文档。 | `ctx.resources.knowledge_bases` 包含所选知识库；runner 可检索；回复引用或使用检索内容。 |
+| P1-LA-09 | RAG 权限裁剪 | 不绑定知识库或绑定另一个知识库。 | 未授权知识库不可检索；错误可控。 |
+| P1-LA-10 | rerank | 绑定 rerank 模型并启用知识库检索排序。 | runner 可通过授权 rerank 模型排序；无权限时不允许调用。 |
+| P1-LA-11 | fallback model | 配置 primary 和 fallback，模拟 primary 失败。 | fallback 被调用；用户得到可用回复或明确失败提示；日志能区分 primary/fallback。 |
+| P1-LA-12 | remove-think | 开启输出 `remove-think`，使用会产生 think 内容的模型。 | 用户最终回复不包含被移除的 think 内容；插件 runner 走 runtime metadata 或 API 参数保持旧行为。 |
+| P1-LA-13 | 多模态图片 | 发送图片输入。 | `ctx.input.contents` / `ctx.input.attachments` 保留图片；支持视觉模型时可正常处理；不支持时错误提示可控。 |
+| P1-LA-14 | 文件输入 | 发送文件或文件 URL。 | runner 可看到文件 attachment 摘要；支持文件处理时正常处理；不支持时不崩溃。 |
+| P1-LA-15 | 会话状态 | runner 返回 `state.updated`，下一轮继续对话。 | state 被 host 接收并作用于下一轮；conversation id 等兼容旧行为。 |
+| P1-LA-16 | 异常处理 | 让 runner 返回 `run.failed` 或抛异常。 | ChatMessageHandler 使用 Pipeline 的异常策略；用户提示符合配置；runtime 和后续请求不受影响。 |
+| P1-LA-17 | 无输出保护 | runner 完成但不返回消息。 | 不产生空白成功回复；应按受控失败处理或明确记录缺陷。 |
+
+## 7. P1 配置兼容与迁移
+
+| ID | 场景 | 步骤 | 通过条件 |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| P1-CFG-01 | 读取旧配置 | 使用只包含 `ai.runner.runner = local-agent` 和旧 `ai.local-agent` 配置的 Pipeline。 | 能解析为 `plugin:langbot/local-agent/default`；旧配置值生效。 |
+| P1-CFG-02 | 保存新配置 | 在 WebUI 修改 runner 和 runner config 后保存。 | 数据库存储 `ai.runner.id` 和 `ai.runner_config[id]`；刷新页面后不丢失。 |
+| P1-CFG-03 | runner 切换 | 同一 Pipeline 从 local-agent 切到另一个官方 runner，再切回。 | 每个 runner 的绑定配置独立保存；切换不污染其它 runner config。 |
+| P1-CFG-04 | 插件缺失 | 配置引用一个未安装或未启动的 runner。 | WebUI/后端给出可理解错误；Pipeline 不因 metadata 加载失败整体不可用。 |
+| P1-CFG-05 | bound plugin 授权 | Pipeline 只绑定部分插件。 | 未绑定插件的 runner 不能执行；已绑定插件正常执行。 |
+
+## 8. P1 权限与隔离
+
+| ID | 场景 | 步骤 | 通过条件 |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| P1-AUTH-01 | 模型权限 | runner 尝试调用不在 `ctx.resources.models` 的模型。 | Host action 拒绝；错误包含 run/session 维度信息；不会调用实际模型。 |
+| P1-AUTH-02 | 工具权限 | runner 尝试调用不在 `ctx.resources.tools` 的工具。 | Host action 拒绝；不会越权执行工具。 |
+| P1-AUTH-03 | 知识库权限 | runner 尝试检索不在 `ctx.resources.knowledge_bases` 的知识库。 | Host action 拒绝；不会返回未授权知识库内容。 |
+| P1-AUTH-04 | 存储权限 | manifest 未声明 storage 权限时访问 plugin/workspace storage。 | 访问被拒绝；普通插件非 AgentRunner 的兼容路径不受影响。 |
+| P1-AUTH-05 | run_id 生命周期 | runner 结束后继续使用旧 run_id 调 host action。 | session 已注销；请求被拒绝。 |
+| P1-AUTH-06 | 插件身份隔离 | A 插件 runner 的 run_id 被 B 插件使用。 | Host 拒绝 identity mismatch。 |
+
+## 9. P2 官方外部 runner smoke
+
+以下 case 是 smoke，不要求和 local-agent 一样覆盖全部能力。若缺少外部服务凭据，状态标 BLOCKED，并记录缺失项。
+
+| ID | Runner | 步骤 | 通过条件 |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| P2-EXT-01 | `dify-agent` | 配置 chat/agent/workflow 中至少一种可用应用并发送消息。 | runner 可选、配置可保存、请求成功或外部服务错误被清晰返回。 |
+| P2-EXT-02 | `n8n-agent` | 配置 webhook 和认证方式并发送消息。 | webhook 被调用；返回内容进入 LangBot 回复；认证失败时提示明确。 |
+| P2-EXT-03 | `coze-agent` | 配置 Coze 应用并发送文本，若可用再测图片。 | 文本回复正常；多模态能力按 manifest/配置表现；思维链处理不污染最终回复。 |
+| P2-EXT-04 | `dashscope-agent` | 配置 agent 或 workflow 并发送消息。 | 调用成功；失败时错误可控且不影响后续请求。 |
+| P2-EXT-05 | `langflow-agent` | 配置 flow endpoint 并发送消息。 | 普通或 SSE 流式响应能归一为 LangBot 消息。 |
+| P2-EXT-06 | `tbox-agent` | 配置 Tbox 应用并发送消息。 | 回复正常；多模态输入按插件能力处理。 |
+
+## 10. P2 事件预留检查
+
+这些只检查协议预留，不要求真实平台事件接入。
+
+| ID | 场景 | 步骤 | 通过条件 |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| P2-EVT-01 | 消息事件名稳定 | 触发普通消息 runner。 | `ctx.trigger.type` 和 `ctx.event.event_type` 为 `message.received`；平台原始类型保存在 `ctx.event.event_data.source_event_type`。 |
+| P2-EVT-02 | 非消息事件名预留 | 检查 host 侧保留事件名。 | `message.recalled`、`group.member_joined`、`friend.request_received` 作为稳定协议名存在。 |
+| P2-EVT-03 | action.requested 预留 | 让测试 runner 返回 `action.requested`。 | Host 只记录日志，不执行平台动作，不影响主流程。 |
+
+## 11. 退出标准
+
+QA agent 完成后应输出一份报告，至少包含：
+
+- 总状态：PASS / FAIL / BLOCKED。
+- 每个 case 的状态表。
+- 所有 FAIL 的复现步骤和建议归属仓库。
+- 所有 BLOCKED 的环境缺口。
+- 是否建议关闭 Phase 1，进入 Phase 2/EBA。
+
+建议关闭 Phase 1 的条件：
+
+- P0 全 PASS。
+- P1 全 PASS，或只有旧内置 runner 同样不支持的 N/A。
+- P2 外部 runner smoke 对可用凭据全部 PASS。
+- 剩余问题均为 EBA 预留、外部服务凭据、或非阻塞体验问题。

+
+## Blocked Or N/A
+
+| Matrix ID | Status | Reason |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| P1-LA-07 | BLOCKED | Needs a dedicated restricted-pipeline or malicious-runner fixture to force an unauthorized tool call through the runner. Unit-level authorization passes. |
+| P1-LA-09 | BLOCKED | Needs a dedicated restricted-pipeline or malicious-runner fixture to force unauthorized KB access. Unit-level authorization passes. |
+| P1-LA-10 | BLOCKED | No rerank model configured for this environment. |
+| P1-LA-11 | BLOCKED | Primary/fallback failure injection was not configured for this run. |
+| P1-LA-12 | BLOCKED | No known think-output model/path configured for this run. |
+| P1-LA-14 | N/A | Debug Chat UI exposes image upload but no generic file upload control in this run. |
+| P1-CFG-03 | BLOCKED | Runner switching to an external runner requires a usable external runner config; only Dify is discoverable and no Dify credentials are configured. |
+| P2-EXT-01 | BLOCKED | Dify runner is discoverable, but no Dify API key/app config is available. |
+| P2-EXT-02 | N/A | `n8n-agent` runner is not discoverable in metadata. |
+| P2-EXT-03 | N/A | `coze-agent` runner is not discoverable in metadata. |
+| P2-EXT-04 | N/A | `dashscope-agent` runner is not discoverable in metadata. |
+| P2-EXT-05 | N/A | `langflow-agent` runner is not discoverable in metadata. |
+| P2-EXT-06 | N/A | `tbox-agent` runner is not discoverable in metadata. |
+
+## Notes
+
+- The current environment is strong enough to validate the main pluginized local-agent path: WebUI, runner registry, prompt preprocessing, history, streaming, non-streaming, tool calls, LangRAG retrieval, image input, and host-side authorization/unit protocol behavior all passed.
+- External runner smoke cannot close without credentials or installed runner plugins beyond Dify.
+- Console capture contains stale errors from earlier service restarts and diagnostic cross-origin fetch attempts. During the executed Debug Chat flows, the UI completed normally and the backend processed all tested queries.
+- `langbot-skills` now supports machine-local `skills/.env.local` overrides, so local worktree/port changes do not need to modify shared `skills/.env`.
+
+## Recommendation
+
+Do not mark the whole Phase 1 matrix fully closed yet. It is reasonable to treat the local-agent Phase 1 core path as PASS, but Phase 1 closure still needs either:
+
+- explicit acceptance that authorization/error/state cases are covered by unit/protocol tests rather than UI malicious-runner fixtures, and
+- external runner credentials or a decision to keep external runner smoke BLOCKED by environment.

+# LangBot AgentRunner Protocol v1
+
+本文档定义 LangBot Host 与插件 SDK / Runtime / AgentRunner 之间的协议合同。它优先描述”稳定接口应是什么”，不描述具体落地任务。
+
+## 当前状态
+
+**Protocol v1 已在当前分支落地**：
+
+- ✅ SDK 定义 `AgentRunnerManifest`、`AgentRunContext`、`AgentRunResult`、`AgentRunAPIProxy`
+- ✅ Runtime 支持 `LIST_AGENT_RUNNERS` 和 `RUN_AGENT`
+- ✅ Host 支持 `run_id` session authorization
+- ✅ Host 能从当前 Pipeline 入口生成 event-first context
+- ✅ `messages` 降级为 optional bootstrap
+- ✅ `max-round` 不出现在协议实体中（只在 Pipeline adapter 中处理）
+- ✅ Proxy 覆盖 model、tool、knowledge、state/storage
+- ✅ History / Event / Artifact / State API 已落地
+- ✅ EventLog / Transcript / ArtifactStore / PersistentStateStore 已落地
+
+## 1. 协议目标
+
+Protocol v1 要解决四件事：
+
+- LangBot 如何发现插件提供的 AgentRunner。
+- LangBot 如何把一次事件调用封装成 `AgentRunContext`。
+- AgentRunner 如何以事件流形式返回运行结果。
+- AgentRunner 如何通过受限 API 访问 LangBot host 能力。
+
+Protocol v1 不定义：
+
+- LangBot 内部如何持久化 AgentBinding。
+- AgentRunner 内部如何组装 prompt、压缩历史、管理 memory。
+- 官方 local-agent 的具体实现。
+- Pipeline 的长期配置模型。
+
+## 2. 参与方
+
+| 名称 | 职责 |
+| --- | --- |
+| LangBot Host | 事件入口、绑定解析、权限、资源、存储、生命周期、结果投递。 |
+| Plugin Runtime | 加载插件，响应 Host 的 runner discovery 和 run 调用。 |
+| AgentRunner | 插件提供的 agent 执行组件。 |
+| AgentRunAPIProxy | AgentRunner 访问 Host 能力的受限 API。 |
+| AgentBinding | Host 内部的事件到 runner 绑定配置，不直接暴露给 SDK。 |
+
+`AgentBinding` 只影响 Host 构造出的 `ctx.config`、`ctx.resources`、`ctx.context` 和 `ctx.delivery`。SDK 不需要知道 binding 的持久化形态。
+
+## 3. Discovery 协议
+
+### 3.1 LIST_AGENT_RUNNERS
+
+Host 调用 Plugin Runtime 获取当前插件暴露的 runner 列表。该请求不需要额外 payload。
+
+Runtime 返回：
+
+```python
+class ListAgentRunnersResponse(BaseModel):
+    runners: list[AgentRunnerManifest]
+```
+
+### 3.2 AgentRunnerManifest
+
+```python
+class AgentRunnerManifest(BaseModel):
+    id: str
+    name: str
+    label: I18nObject
+    description: I18nObject | None = None
+    capabilities: AgentRunnerCapabilities
+    permissions: AgentRunnerPermissions
+    context: AgentRunnerContextPolicy
+    config_schema: list[DynamicFormItemSchema] = []
+    metadata: dict[str, Any] = {}
+```
+
+字段要求：
+
+- `id` 必须稳定，推荐 `plugin:author/name/runner`。
+- `name` 是插件内 runner 名称，例如 `default`。
+- `config_schema` 只描述绑定配置表单，不代表插件实例状态。
+- `metadata` 只能放展示、诊断、非稳定扩展信息。
+
+### 3.3 Capabilities
+
+```python
+class AgentRunnerCapabilities(BaseModel):
+    streaming: bool = False
+    tool_calling: bool = False
+    knowledge_retrieval: bool = False
+    multimodal_input: bool = False
+    event_context: bool = True
+    platform_api: bool = False
+    interrupt: bool = False
+    stateful_session: bool = False
+    self_managed_context: bool = True
+```
+
+语义：
+
+- `streaming`: runner 可以返回 `message.delta`。
+- `tool_calling`: runner 可能调用 Host tool APIs。
+- `knowledge_retrieval`: runner 可能调用 Host knowledge APIs。
+- `multimodal_input`: runner 可以处理非纯文本 input / artifact。
+- `event_context`: runner 理解 event-first 输入。
+- `platform_api`: runner 可能请求平台动作。
+- `interrupt`: runner 支持取消或中断。
+- `stateful_session`: runner 可能维护跨 run 会话状态。
+- `self_managed_context`: runner 自己管理 working context，Host 不应默认 inline 历史。
+
+### 3.4 Permissions
+
+```python
+class AgentRunnerPermissions(BaseModel):
+    models: list[Literal["invoke", "stream", "rerank"]] = []
+    tools: list[Literal["detail", "call"]] = []
+    knowledge_bases: list[Literal["list", "retrieve"]] = []
+    history: list[Literal["page", "search"]] = []
+    events: list[Literal["get", "page"]] = []
+    artifacts: list[Literal["metadata", "read"]] = []
+    storage: list[Literal["plugin", "workspace", "binding"]] = []
+    platform_api: list[str] = []
+```
+
+Manifest permissions 是 runner 需要的最大能力。实际可用资源还要经过 Host binding policy 和当前 run scope 裁剪。
+
+### 3.5 Context Policy
+
+```python
+class AgentRunnerContextPolicy(BaseModel):
+    ownership: Literal["self_managed", "host_bootstrap", "hybrid"] = "self_managed"
+    bootstrap: Literal["none", "current_event", "recent_tail", "summary_tail"] = "current_event"
+    max_inline_events: int = 0
+    max_inline_bytes: int = 0
+    supports_history_pull: bool = True
+    supports_history_search: bool = False
+    supports_artifact_pull: bool = True
+    owns_compaction: bool = True
+    wants_static_context_refs: bool = True
+```
+
+Host 使用该声明决定是否给 runner inline bootstrap history。默认原则：
+
+- Host 不得默认 inline 全量历史。
+- Host 默认只 inline 当前 event / input 和 context handles。
+- Runner 拥有 working context assembly。
+- Runner 可在授权后通过 Host history / event / artifact / state APIs 拉取更多上下文。
+- `max-round` 不属于 Protocol v1 字段。
+
+## 4. Run 协议
+
+### 4.1 RUN_AGENT
+
+Host 调用 Runtime：
+
+```python
+class AgentRunRequest(BaseModel):
+    runner_id: str
+    runner_name: str
+    context: AgentRunContext
+```
+
+Runtime 返回 `AgentRunResult` 异步流。
+
+插件运行时可以继续在底层 transport 中使用 `plugin_author`、`plugin_name`、`runner_name` 定位组件，但协议语义以 `runner_id` 和 `context` 为准。
+
+### 4.2 AgentRunContext
+
+```python
+class AgentRunContext(BaseModel):
+    run_id: str
+    trigger: AgentTrigger
+    event: AgentEventContext
+    conversation: ConversationContext | None = None
+    actor: ActorContext | None = None
+    subject: SubjectContext | None = None
+    input: AgentInput
+    delivery: DeliveryContext
+    resources: AgentResources
+    context: ContextAccess
+    state: AgentRunState
+    runtime: AgentRuntimeContext
+    config: dict[str, Any] = {}
+    bootstrap: BootstrapContext | None = None
+    adapter: AdapterContext | None = None
+    metadata: dict[str, Any] = {}
+```
+
+核心约束：
+
+- `event` 是必选字段，Protocol v1 是 event-first。
+- `input` 表示当前事件的主输入，不等于历史消息。
+- `bootstrap` 是可选字段，不是完整 history。
+- `adapter` 只放 Pipeline adapter 字段，runner 不应依赖它做长期能力。
+- `config` 是 Host binding config，不是插件实例状态。
+
+### 4.3 AgentTrigger
+
+```python
+class AgentTrigger(BaseModel):
+    type: str
+    source: Literal["platform", "webui", "api", "scheduler", "system", "pipeline_adapter"]
+    timestamp: int | None = None
+```
+
+`trigger.type` 应与 `event.event_type` 一致或更粗粒度。例如 Pipeline 兼容入口触发消息时：
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "message.received",
+  "source": "pipeline_adapter"
+}
+```
+
+### 4.4 AgentEventContext
+
+```python
+class AgentEventContext(BaseModel):
+    event_id: str
+    event_type: str
+    event_time: int | None = None
+    source: str
+    source_event_type: str | None = None
+    raw_ref: RawEventRef | None = None
+    data: dict[str, Any] = {}
+```
+
+要求：
+
+- `event_type` 使用 LangBot 稳定协议名，例如 `message.received`。
+- 平台原始事件名放入 `source_event_type`。
+- 大型原始 payload 必须放入 `raw_ref` 或 artifact，不应直接塞入 `data`。
+
+### 4.5 Actor / Subject / Conversation
+
+```python
+class ConversationContext(BaseModel):
+    conversation_id: str | None = None
+    thread_id: str | None = None
+    launcher_type: str | None = None
+    launcher_id: str | None = None
+    bot_id: str | None = None
+    workspace_id: str | None = None
+
+class ActorContext(BaseModel):
+    actor_type: str
+    actor_id: str | None = None
+    actor_name: str | None = None
+    metadata: dict[str, Any] = {}
+
+class SubjectContext(BaseModel):
+    subject_type: str
+    subject_id: str | None = None
+    data: dict[str, Any] = {}
+```
+
+示例：
+
+- 消息事件：actor 是发消息的人，subject 是当前消息。
+- 入群事件：actor 是新成员或邀请人，subject 是群/成员关系。
+- 定时事件：actor 可以是 system，subject 是 schedule。
+
+### 4.6 AgentInput
+
+```python
+class AgentInput(BaseModel):
+    text: str | None = None
+    contents: list[ContentElement] = []
+    attachments: list[ArtifactRef] = []
+    message_chain: dict[str, Any] | None = None
+```
+
+要求：
+
+- 文本、多模态、附件都属于当前 event input。
+- 大文件、图片、音频、工具大结果应以 artifact ref 传递。
+- `message_chain` 是平台兼容字段，不应成为长期稳定依赖。
+
+### 4.7 DeliveryContext
+
+```python
+class DeliveryContext(BaseModel):
+    surface: str
+    reply_target: dict[str, Any] | None = None
+    supports_streaming: bool = False
+    supports_edit: bool = False
+    supports_reaction: bool = False
+    max_message_size: int | None = None
+    platform_capabilities: dict[str, Any] = {}
+```
+
+Runner 可以参考 delivery 能力决定返回 `message.delta`、`message.completed` 或 `action.requested`。
+
+### 4.8 ContextAccess
+
+```python
+class ContextAccess(BaseModel):
+    conversation_id: str | None = None
+    thread_id: str | None = None
+    latest_cursor: str | None = None
+    event_seq: int | None = None
+    transcript_seq: int | None = None
+    has_history_before: bool = False
+    inline_policy: InlineContextPolicy
+    available_apis: ContextAPICapabilities
+```
+
+`ContextAccess` 告诉 runner：Host inline 了什么、没有 inline 什么、如果需要更多上下文应该通过哪些 API 拉取。
+它不是 Host 的业务上下文编排策略，而是 runner 按需读取上下文的入口说明。
+
+```python
+class InlineContextPolicy(BaseModel):
+    mode: Literal["none", "current_event", "recent_tail", "summary_tail"]
+    delivered_count: int = 0
+    source_total_count: int | None = None
+    messages_complete: bool = False
+    reason: str | None = None
+
+class ContextAPICapabilities(BaseModel):
+    history_page: bool = False
+    history_search: bool = False
+    event_get: bool = False
+    event_page: bool = False
+    artifact_metadata: bool = False
+    artifact_read: bool = False
+    state: bool = False
+    storage: bool = False
+```
+
+### 4.9 BootstrapContext
+
+```python
+class BootstrapContext(BaseModel):
+    messages: list[Message] = []
+    summary: str | None = None
+    artifacts: list[ArtifactRef] = []
+    metadata: dict[str, Any] = {}
+```
+
+约束：
+
+- `bootstrap.messages` 是 host convenience，不是协议核心。
+- 自管 context runner 默认应收到空 bootstrap 或只收到当前 event。
+- Host 不应为了”帮 agent 更聪明”而自动拼接完整 transcript。
+- Pipeline adapter 的 `max-round` 配置只影响 adapter 如何生成 `bootstrap.messages`，不能成为 Protocol v1 字段。
+
+### 4.10 RuntimeContext
+
+```python
+class AgentRuntimeContext(BaseModel):
+    host: str = "langbot"
+    langbot_version: str | None = None
+    trace_id: str
+    deadline_at: float | None = None
+    locale: str | None = None
+    timezone: str | None = None
+    static_refs: dict[str, StaticContextRef] = {}
+    metadata: dict[str, Any] = {}
+```
+
+`static_refs` 用于 KV cache 友好的静态上下文引用，例如 system policy、tool schema、resource manifest 的 hash/version。
+
+### 4.11 State
+
+```python
+class AgentRunState(BaseModel):
+    conversation: dict[str, Any] = {}
+    actor: dict[str, Any] = {}
+    subject: dict[str, Any] = {}
+    runner: dict[str, Any] = {}
+    binding: dict[str, Any] = {}
+```
+
+State 是可选 host-owned snapshot。Runner 也可以完全自管状态。
+
+## 5. Resources
+
+```python
+class AgentResources(BaseModel):
+    models: list[ModelResource] = []
+    tools: list[ToolResource] = []
+    knowledge_bases: list[KnowledgeBaseResource] = []
+    artifacts: list[ArtifactResource] = []
+    storage: StorageResource = StorageResource()
+    history: HistoryResource = HistoryResource()
+    platform_capabilities: dict[str, Any] = {}
+```
+
+资源列表是本次 run 的授权结果。Runner 只能通过 `AgentRunAPIProxy` 访问这些资源。
+
+## 6. Result Stream
+
+### 6.1 AgentRunResult
+
+```python
+class AgentRunResult(BaseModel):
+    run_id: str
+    type: str
+    data: dict[str, Any] = {}
+    sequence: int | None = None
+    timestamp: int | None = None
+```
+
+### 6.2 稳定 result types
+
+| type | 说明 |
+| --- | --- |
+| `message.delta` | 流式消息片段。 |
+| `message.completed` | 完整消息。 |
+| `tool.call.started` | runner 开始工具调用的可观测事件。 |
+| `tool.call.completed` | runner 完成工具调用的可观测事件。 |
+| `artifact.created` | runner 生成 artifact。 |
+| `state.updated` | runner 请求更新 host-owned state。 |
+| `action.requested` | runner 请求 Host 执行平台动作。 |
+| `run.completed` | run 正常结束。 |
+| `run.failed` | run 失败。 |
+
+Host 必须忽略未知 result type 并记录 warning，除非该 type 明确要求强校验。
+
+### 6.3 message.delta
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "message.delta",
+  "data": {
+    "chunk": {
+      "role": "assistant",
+      "content": "hel"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 6.4 message.completed
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "message.completed",
+  "data": {
+    "message": {
+      "role": "assistant",
+      "content": "hello"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 6.5 state.updated
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "state.updated",
+  "data": {
+    "scope": "conversation",
+    "key": "external.session_id",
+    "value": "abc"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Host 必须校验 scope、key、value 大小和 JSON 可序列化性。
+
+### 6.6 action.requested
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "action.requested",
+  "data": {
+    "action": "message.edit",
+    "target": {"message_id": "..."},
+    "payload": {"text": "..."}
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Protocol v1 只定义表达方式。Host 是否执行 action 取决于 platform API 能力、binding policy、审批策略和实现阶段。
+
+## 7. AgentRunAPIProxy
+
+所有 proxy action 必须携带 `run_id`。Host 必须校验：
+
+- active run session 存在。
+- caller plugin identity 匹配。
+- resource 在本次 `ctx.resources` 中授权。
+- scope 不越界。
+- payload size / rate limit / deadline 合法。
+
+### 7.1 Model APIs
+
+```python
+await api.models.invoke(model_id, messages, tools=None, extra_args=None)
+await api.models.stream(model_id, messages, tools=None, extra_args=None)
+await api.models.rerank(model_id, query, documents, top_k=None)
+```
+
+### 7.2 Tool APIs
+
+```python
+await api.tools.get_detail(tool_name)
+await api.tools.call(tool_name, parameters)
+```
+
+### 7.3 Knowledge APIs
+
+```python
+await api.knowledge.retrieve(kb_id, query_text, top_k=5, filters=None)
+```
+
+### 7.4 History APIs
+
+```python
+await api.history.page(
+    conversation_id=None,
+    before_cursor=None,
+    after_cursor=None,
+    limit=50,
+    direction="backward",
+    include_artifacts=False,
+)
+
+await api.history.search(
+    query,
+    filters=None,
+    top_k=10,
+)
+```
+
+History API 返回 Transcript projection，不返回原始平台 payload。
+
+### 7.5 Event APIs
+
+```python
+await api.events.get(event_id)
+await api.events.page(before_cursor=None, limit=50)
+```
+
+Event API 返回稳定 event envelope 或受限 raw ref，不默认返回大 payload。
+
+### 7.6 Artifact APIs
+
+```python
+await api.artifacts.metadata(artifact_id)
+await api.artifacts.read_range(artifact_id, offset=0, length=65536)
+await api.artifacts.open_stream(artifact_id)
+```
+
+Artifact API 必须支持大小限制、MIME 校验、过期时间和授权范围。
+
+### 7.7 State / Storage APIs
+
+```python
+await api.state.get(scope, key)
+await api.state.set(scope, key, value)
+await api.state.delete(scope, key)
+
+await api.storage.get(area, key)
+await api.storage.set(area, key, value)
+await api.storage.delete(area, key)
+await api.storage.list(area, prefix=None)
+```
+
+建议区分：
+
+- `state`: 小型 JSON 状态，适合 conversation / actor / runner / binding。
+- `storage`: blob 或较大数据，适合插件私有数据、workspace 数据、checkpoint。
+
+### 7.8 Platform APIs
+
+```python
+await api.platform.request_action(action, target, payload)
+```
+
+平台 API 是受限能力。默认不开放。需要 runner manifest、binding policy、用户审批策略同时允许。
+
+## 8. 错误模型
+
+Host API 错误统一返回：
+
+```python
+class AgentAPIError(BaseModel):
+    code: str
+    message: str
+    retryable: bool = False
+    details: dict[str, Any] = {}
+```
+
+建议 code：
+
+| code | 说明 |
+| --- | --- |
+| `unauthorized` | 未授权访问资源或 scope。 |
+| `not_found` | 资源不存在或对当前 runner 不可见。 |
+| `deadline_exceeded` | 超过 run deadline。 |
+| `payload_too_large` | 请求或响应过大。 |
+| `rate_limited` | Host 限流。 |
+| `invalid_argument` | 参数错误。 |
+| `runtime_error` | Host 或下游能力错误。 |
+
+Runner 失败使用 `run.failed`：
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "run.failed",
+  "data": {
+    "code": "runner.error",
+    "message": "failed to call external agent",
+    "retryable": false
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## 9. Timeout 与 Cancellation
+
+Host 在 `ctx.runtime.deadline_at` 中下发总 deadline。SDK proxy 必须用该 deadline 限制单次 action timeout。
+
+取消语义：
+
+- Host 可以取消 active run。
+- Runtime 应尽力中断 runner。
+- Runner 支持中断时应返回或触发 `run.failed`，code 为 `cancelled`。
+- Host 必须 unregister active run session。
+
+## 10. Security 与 Guardrail
+
+Protocol v1 的安全边界在 Host：
+
+- Runner 不能直接访问未授权 model/tool/kb/history/artifact/storage。
+- SDK 本地校验只提升开发体验，不能替代 Host 校验。
+- 所有 resource id 对 runner 来说都是 opaque。
+- 默认只能访问当前 conversation / thread 的 history。
+- 跨会话、workspace 级 history 或 storage 必须额外授权。
+- 大 payload 必须 artifact 化。
+- Host 必须记录 run_id、runner_id、action、resource、scope、result。
+
+Host 不负责业务编排：
+
+- 不拼接全量历史。
+- 不替 runner 做业务 prompt assembly。
+- 不内置 agent memory 策略。
+- 不内置 tool loop 业务流程。
+- 不内置上下文压缩策略。
+
+这些能力可以由官方或第三方 AgentRunner 插件实现，并通过公开 Host APIs 消费 LangBot 的状态、历史、存储、artifact、模型、工具和知识库能力。
+
+## 11. Pipeline Adapter
+
+Pipeline 是当前入口 adapter，不是协议中心。
+
+**当前分支已实现**：
+
+- ✅ `PipelineAdapter.query_to_event(query)` — 从 `Query` 构造 `AgentEventEnvelope`
+- ✅ `PipelineAdapter.pipeline_config_to_binding(query, runner_id)` — 从 Pipeline config 构造临时 AgentBinding
+- ✅ `run_from_query()` 委托到 `run(event, binding)`
+- ✅ `max-round` 在 Pipeline adapter 中处理，不进入协议实体
+- ✅ Query-only 字段放入 `adapter` context
+
+Pipeline adapter 负责：
+
+- 从 `Query` 构造 `AgentEventContext`。
+- 从 Pipeline config 构造临时 AgentBinding。
+- 从旧 runner config 构造 `ctx.config`。
+- 将 `max-round` 转换为 `bootstrap` policy。
+- 将 Query-only 字段放入 `adapter`。
+
+Runner 不应长期依赖 `adapter`。新 runner 应只依赖 event-first context 和 Host APIs。
+
+## 12. 最小 v1 完成标准
+
+Protocol v1 已在当前分支完成：
+
+- ✅ SDK 定义 `AgentRunnerManifest`、`AgentRunContext`、`AgentRunResult`、`AgentRunAPIProxy`
+- ✅ Runtime 支持 `LIST_AGENT_RUNNERS` 和 `RUN_AGENT`
+- ✅ Host 支持 `run_id` session authorization
+- ✅ Host 能从当前 Pipeline 入口生成 event-first context
+- ✅ `messages` 降级为 optional bootstrap
+- ✅ `max-round` 不出现在协议实体中
+- ✅ Proxy 至少覆盖 model、tool、knowledge、state/storage
+- ✅ History / event / artifact API 已落地
+- ✅ EventLog / Transcript / ArtifactStore / PersistentStateStore 已落地
+
+## 13. 开放问题
+
+- `AgentBinding` 是否需要进入 SDK 文档作为只读诊断信息，还是完全 Host 内部。
+- `TranscriptItem` 的最小字段集如何定义。
+- ArtifactStore 是否复用现有 BinaryStorage backend，还是引入独立实体。
+- State 与 Storage 的边界是否需要更强类型。
+- `platform_api` action 的审批模型如何表达。
+- 多 runner 并发处理同一 event 时，result delivery 的冲突策略如何定义。

+# Agent Runner 插件化文档入口
+
+本文档是 agent-runner 插件化工作的路由页。具体设计拆到独立文档中维护，避免把 LangBot 宿主架构、SDK 协议、上下文管理、EBA 预留和官方 runner 迁移混在同一份 README 里。
+
+## 本分支目标
+
+**本分支目标：AgentRunner 外化 / 插件化基础设施**
+
+本分支只做 LangBot 作为 Agent Host 的基础能力建设：
+
+- LangBot 与 SDK 的稳定协议合同（Protocol v1）
+- Host-side `AgentEventEnvelope` / `AgentBinding` 模型
+- `run(event, binding)` event-first 入口
+- `PipelineAdapter`：Pipeline Query → AgentEventEnvelope + AgentBinding
+- EventLog / Transcript / ArtifactStore / PersistentStateStore
+- History / Event / Artifact / State pull APIs
+- SDK runtime forwarding pull APIs + `caller_plugin_identity` 验证路径
+
+## 本分支不实现
+
+以下能力由其他分支负责，本分支只预留 integration point：
+
+- **EventGateway**：完整事件网关实现、事件路由、事件持久化管理
+- **Event subscription / Event notification**：事件订阅、推送通知
+- **BindingResolver persistence UI**：绑定配置的持久化 UI 和 event router 集成（如由其他模块负责）
+- **Scheduler / Background event source**：定时任务、后台事件源
+
+EventGateway 在本文档中描述为 **future integration point**，由外部 event branch 提供。本分支只定义 host-side envelope/binding models 和 `run(event, binding)` orchestrator 入口。
+
+## 当前状态
+
+**当前 Pipeline 是 transition adapter，不再是 agent runner 设计核心。**
+
+当前主入口仍可由 Pipeline 触发，但内部已转换成 event-first path：
+
+1. `run_from_query()` 使用 `PipelineAdapter.query_to_event(query)` 转换为 `AgentEventEnvelope`
+2. `run_from_query()` 使用 `PipelineAdapter.pipeline_config_to_binding(query, runner_id)` 转换为 `AgentBinding`
+3. `run_from_query()` 委托到 `run(event, binding, bound_plugins, adapter_context)`
+
+Pipeline path 已获得 event-first host capabilities：
+- EventLog / Transcript 写入
+- ArtifactStore 注册
+- PersistentStateStore 状态持久化
+- History / Event / Artifact / State pull APIs 可用
+
+## 设计文档
+
+| 文档 | 关注点 |
+| --- | --- |
+| [PROTOCOL_V1.md](./PROTOCOL_V1.md) | LangBot Host 与 SDK / Runtime / AgentRunner 的协议合同：run context、result stream、proxy actions、错误和 adapter 边界。 |
+| [HOST_SDK_INFRASTRUCTURE.md](./HOST_SDK_INFRASTRUCTURE.md) | LangBot 宿主能力、SDK 协议、runner 发现、绑定、权限、状态、存储、生命周期和调用链。 |
+| [AGENT_CONTEXT_PROTOCOL.md](./AGENT_CONTEXT_PROTOCOL.md) | Agent-owned context 方向：事件到来时 LangBot 传什么，agent 如何按需拉取更多历史 / artifact / state，以及如何支持 KV cache 友好的上下文管理。 |
+| [EVENT_BASED_AGENT.md](./EVENT_BASED_AGENT.md) | EBA 预留：事件模型、事件来源、触发绑定、非消息事件如何复用 AgentRunner 调度。**标注为 future design note**。 |
+| [OFFICIAL_RUNNER_PLUGINS.md](./OFFICIAL_RUNNER_PLUGINS.md) | 官方 runner 插件迁移，包括 local-agent 和外部 runner。它是下游落地计划，不是 LangBot 基础能力设计的前置约束。 |
+| [PHASE1_QA_ACCEPTANCE_MATRIX.md](./PHASE1_QA_ACCEPTANCE_MATRIX.md) | 当前阶段的 QA 验收矩阵。它验证现有分支的兼容性，不代表最终架构边界。 |
+
+## 工作拆分
+
+### 1. LangBot + SDK 基础设施
+
+目标是把 LangBot 从内置 runner 执行器变成 agent host：
+
+- LangBot 与 SDK 的稳定协议合同
+- runner manifest / descriptor / registry
+- agent binding 与配置解析
+- run orchestration 和生命周期管理
+- resource authorization 与 `run_id` 级权限校验
+- host-owned state / storage / event log / transcript / artifact 能力
+- SDK `AgentRunner`、`AgentRunContext`、`AgentRunResult`、`AgentRunAPIProxy`
+
+协议合同详见 [PROTOCOL_V1.md](./PROTOCOL_V1.md)。
+
+详见 [HOST_SDK_INFRASTRUCTURE.md](./HOST_SDK_INFRASTRUCTURE.md)。
+
+### 2. Agent-owned context
+
+LangBot 不应成为最终 agentic context manager。它应提供事实源、默认上下文引用和按需读取 API；agent 或其背后的 runtime 负责历史剪裁、摘要、召回和 KV cache 策略。
+
+当前代码中的 `max-round` 是 Pipeline adapter 配置，不应作为目标协议继续扩展。
+
+详见 [AGENT_CONTEXT_PROTOCOL.md](./AGENT_CONTEXT_PROTOCOL.md)。
+
+### 3. Event Based Agent（Future）
+
+消息只是事件的一种。后续 `message.received`、`message.recalled`、`group.member_joined`、`friend.request_received` 等事件都应能通过统一事件 envelope 触发 AgentRunner。
+
+**本分支不实现 EBA 完整能力，只预留：**
+- event-first envelope (`AgentEventEnvelope`)
+- AgentBinding model
+- `run(event, binding)` 入口
+- PipelineAdapter（当前 AgentEventEnvelope / AgentBinding 的 Pipeline adapter source）
+
+详见 [EVENT_BASED_AGENT.md](./EVENT_BASED_AGENT.md)。
+
+### 4. 官方 runner 插件
+
+官方 `local-agent` 和外部 runner 迁移是下游工作。它们需要依附 LangBot 提供的宿主能力，但不应反过来决定宿主协议。
+
+`local-agent` 可以外移，也可以重写。验收重点是它能完整消费 LangBot 的模型、工具、知识库、存储、事件、history API 和 result stream，而不是保留旧内置 runner 的内部结构。
+
+详见 [OFFICIAL_RUNNER_PLUGINS.md](./OFFICIAL_RUNNER_PLUGINS.md)。
+
+## 已确认决策
+
+- 一个插件可以声明多个 `AgentRunner` 组件，每个组件独立暴露 manifest、配置 schema、能力和权限。
+- 插件本身按单实例、无状态执行单元理解；不同绑定不创建多个插件实例。
+- 绑定只保存 runner id 和绑定配置，不代表插件实例状态。
+- LangBot 可以提供 host-owned state / storage 能力，让 runner 把状态寄宿在 LangBot；但这应该是授权能力，不是强制要求。
+- 官方 runner 插件是协议消费者，不是协议设计的优先约束。
+- Pipeline 是当前入口 adapter，不是未来架构中心。
+- EventGateway 是 future integration point，由外部 event branch 提供。

+
+    IMPORTANT: This is HOST-OWNED protocol state, NOT plugin instance state.
+
+    Key Design Principles:
+    1. Host-owned: State is owned and managed by LangBot host, not by the plugin.
+       The plugin can only read/write through agent runner state updates.
+    2. Scope keys based on stable host identity: Uses host-controlled identifiers
+       (runner_id, bot_uuid, pipeline_uuid, launcher_type, launcher_id) rather
+       than external/unstable identifiers like external conversation id.
+    3. External conversation id is a VALUE: The runner can update external.conversation_id
+       in state, which syncs to conversation.uuid. The scope key remains stable,
+       preventing state loss when conversation identity changes.
+
+    State scopes:
+    - conversation: runner_id + bot_uuid + pipeline_uuid + launcher_type + launcher_id + conversation identity
+    - actor: runner_id + bot_uuid + sender_id
+    - subject: runner_id + bot_uuid + launcher_type + launcher_id
+    - runner: runner_id + pipeline_uuid
+
+    This ensures different runners don't share state and same runner
+    has appropriate isolation per scope.
+
+    Note: This is an in-memory store. State only persists within the
+    current process lifetime. For production use, a persistent storage
+    backend should be implemented.
