state_updates::apply merged EVERY top-level key of an llm/agent node's JSON
output into graph state whenever the node had an output_schema, and
structured::extract never validated the output against that schema. Any
prompt text able to steer the model — including plan/diff text pasted from a
repo under review — could therefore plant an undeclared key (e.g.
verification_commands) into state and overwrite a caller-declared value
before a downstream script consumed it.
- apply() now takes the node's output_schema and merges only keys present in
schema.properties; undeclared keys are dropped. No schema, or a schema
without an object properties map, merges nothing.
- Nodes without output_schema are unchanged (None == the old false path);
explicit state_updates are unchanged and still see the full output via
{{output.<key>}}, which remains the author-controlled way to lift a key.
- Callers: llm.rs, agent.rs (x2), rag.rs (None).
- Sweep test bundled_graph_output_schemas_declare_every_key_relied_on: for
every bundled graph, every consumed state key has a declared writer
(initial_state, variable, state_updates target, map key, script-emitted key,
or an output_schema property), and no schema node's field list names a key
its schema omits — so this restriction cannot silently break a shipped
graph. It passes with no graph.yaml changes.
- graph.example.yaml documents the declared-keys-only merge; the residual
disclosed in 665fee9's README/docstring notes is now recorded as closed.
Comment-only: settings.timeout notes that Ctrl-C ends a run promptly from
anywhere; the map node's as:/output_key: comments state that the two must
differ, and max_concurrency describes the template form as exactly one
{{key}} with nothing around it.
Comment-only rewrite of the map/branch and teammates comments: a branch is
the entry of a per-item chain; chain nodes may use next, state_updates,
output_schema, fallback and script _next inside the chain; output_key is
removed from the fork and must be written by the chain; max_concurrency
accepts an integer or a template; a teammate identity spans the item's
whole chain.
An llm node never persists its completion under `output` (the binding
is transient), so a map branch without state_updates collected the
stale inherited value: deep-research produced `None` findings and
finding-verifier errored on its first item because `output` was absent.
Both maps now declare an explicit output_key and their branch nodes
write it via state_updates. graph.example.yaml's research_subject gets
the same named-key pattern and its branch comment describes it.
Design: plans/map-subgraph-branches-design.md §2.6, §3.7 (C9).
Agent nodes marked teammates: true whose sub-agents run concurrently (map fan-out branches or multiple flagged agent nodes in one super-step) now form a team: each member gets a pre-provisioned inbox in a messaging-only PeerRegistry before any branch starts, a teammate roster injected into its prompt, peer resolution in agent__send_message, and a peers section in agent__list_running. Registries are scoped to a single fan-out and carry no lifecycle semantics: outputs still flow exclusively through collect_into/state reducers, finished peers reject new messages, and nothing registers in a supervisor. Also hardens the agent-recursion depth guard to work without a supervisor and adds validator warnings for zero-valued orchestration limits.
Graph agents previously derived can_spawn_agents from the presence of an agent node, so a pure-LLM-node graph could never spawn dynamic sub-agents. The three optional graph-level keys now override the derivation/defaults in AgentConfig::from_graph, enabling orchestrator graphs (can_spawn_agents: true with only llm nodes). Explicit false on a graph with agent nodes still runs those nodes; only dynamic spawning from llm nodes is disabled.
Graph LLM nodes now own the jobs they start, on every exit path. A new
node_job_scope on RequestContext records job ids started while a node
runs: the turn-end guardrail nags only about the node's own jobs
(parallel branches no longer see each other's), and the node executor
reaps — cancels and deregisters — anything left registered when the
node exits, including error, timeout, and retry-exhaustion paths.
Cross-node job handoff is no longer possible; a crashed node takes its
in-flight jobs with it.
With inheritance gone, job__* declarations are gated on capability:
the family is only declared when at least one declared tool would pass
job__start's whitelist (shared predicate: is_backgroundable_tool). One
carve-out — while a context still owns registered jobs (job started,
tool disabled mid-session), the lifecycle verbs stay declared so a
running job can never become unreachable; job__start alone disappears.
A graph node with tools: [] now sees no job__* tools at all.
Prompt instructions, tool declarations, and graph.example.yaml updated
to the node-local semantics; +7 tests, 8 visibility pins rewritten.
Graph agents could only inherit the app-wide job budget; the agent-level
header in graph.yaml now accepts max_concurrent_jobs alongside
model/temperature, flowing through AgentConfig::from_graph into the
run-wide supervisor. Deliberately graph-wide, not per-node: jobs outlive
the node that started them.
