Evan Mattson 8c4da3c3b9 Python: Harden AG-UI approval lifecycle and resume semantics (#7594)
* Route local approvals through lifecycle owner

Key decisions:
- Add an internal typed approval lifecycle with pending, claimed, executing, and settled states.
- Keep authorization separate from execution; only LocalPendingToolTransitionOwner invokes approved local calls.
- Register server-owned occurrences before canonical ResumeDecision claims and retain one replayable result under the original call identity.

Files changed:
- packages/ag-ui/agent_framework_ag_ui/_approval_lifecycle.py
- packages/ag-ui/agent_framework_ag_ui/_approval_state.py
- packages/ag-ui/agent_framework_ag_ui/_agent_run.py
- packages/ag-ui/tests/ag_ui/test_approval_lifecycle.py
- packages/ag-ui/tests/ag_ui/test_approval_result_event.py
- packages/ag-ui/tests/ag_ui/test_agent_wrapper_comprehensive.py

Verification:
- 952 AG-UI tests passed.
- Focused lifecycle/public tracer passed with warnings treated as errors.
- Ruff format/check and AG-UI Pyright passed.
- git diff --check passed.

Notes for next iteration:
- The function-calling-loop scenario mapping is inaccessible under the organization content-exclusion policy and could not be updated.
- The workspace Poe package fan-out is blocked by the pre-existing missing packages/durabletask/pyproject.toml; equivalent package-local checks were run.

* Make approval batches occurrence-safe

Key decisions:
- Give each local approval a scoped logical occurrence identity and share one occurrence across trusted thread aliases.
- Validate complete Resume Decision batches before applying claims, then account for accepted, rejected, and cancelled occurrences independently.
- Preserve sibling authority and original result identity across failures, mixed decisions, and reused raw call IDs.

- packages/ag-ui/tests/ag_ui/test_approval_lifecycle.py
- packages/ag-ui/tests/ag_ui/test_agent_wrapper_comprehensive.py

Verification:
- 959 AG-UI tests passed with 90% lifecycle branch coverage.
- 30 focused lifecycle/public tracer tests passed with warnings treated as errors.
- Ruff format/check and AG-UI Pyright passed.
- git diff --check passed.

Notes for next iteration:
- The function-calling-loop scenario mapping remains inaccessible under the organization content-exclusion policy.
- Workspace typing fan-out remains blocked by the pre-existing missing packages/durabletask/pyproject.toml; package-local Pyright passed, while package-local MyPy retains three unrelated baseline errors.

* Make approval resume retries idempotent

Key decisions:
- Retain terminal decisions and outcomes by scoped occurrence so identical accepted and rejected retries reproject results without granting execution authority again.
- Reject conflicting names, arguments, decisions, wrong-scope lookups, and expired authority before an execution intent can reach the local transition owner.
- Keep protocol normalization in the runner while using server-owned lifecycle context to canonicalize retries and preserve existing AG-UI wire aliases.

- packages/ag-ui/tests/ag_ui/test_agent_wrapper_comprehensive.py
- packages/ag-ui/tests/ag_ui/test_endpoint.py

Verification:
- 965 AG-UI tests passed with 90% approval lifecycle coverage.
- 18 focused lifecycle, hostile-resume, wrong-thread, and endpoint retry tests passed with runtime and deprecation warnings treated as errors.
- Ruff format/check and AG-UI package-local Pyright passed.
- git diff --check passed.

Notes for next iteration:
- Terminal retention is process-local and unbounded until the later bounded-retention issue adds its explicit policy.
- The function-calling-loop scenario mapping remains inaccessible under the organization content-exclusion policy.

* Separate approval execution ownership

Key decisions:
- Carry explicit local, hosted, deferred in-run, or unavailable ownership on every approval occurrence and authorized intent.
- Keep lifecycle authorization separate from execution; local calls execute only through the local adapter while hosted and setup-injected decisions forward through owner-specific adapters.
- Leave declaration-only calls pending when no transition owner can act, and settle forwarded outcomes against the original occurrence without local fallback.

- packages/ag-ui/tests/ag_ui/test_approval_lifecycle.py
- packages/ag-ui/tests/ag_ui/test_endpoint.py

Verification:
- 967 AG-UI tests passed with 92% package coverage and 89% approval lifecycle coverage.
- 94 focused lifecycle, hosted, deferred-owner, hostile-resume, and approval tests passed.
- Ruff format/check and package-local Pyright passed.
- git diff --check passed.

Notes for next iteration:
- Executing-without-outcome recovery remains for the indeterminate execution-window issue.
- The function-calling-loop scenario mapping remains inaccessible under the organization content-exclusion policy.
- Workspace Poe fan-out remains blocked by the pre-existing missing packages/durabletask/pyproject.toml; equivalent package-local checks passed.

* Represent approval execution uncertainty

Key decisions:
- Distinguish reserved claims from execution windows that may have started an external side effect.
- Recover non-idempotent execution failures as indeterminate and reject identical retries without another invocation.
- Permit claim release only under an explicit safe policy and execution retry only with a predeclared idempotency key shared by local and forwarded owners.

Verification:
- 972 AG-UI tests passed with 92% line coverage and 89% package branch coverage.
- 23 focused lifecycle, duplicate-resume, hosted-owner, and public settlement-window tests passed.
- Package-local Ruff and Pyright passed; git diff --check passed.

Notes for next iteration:
- The function-calling-loop scenario mapping remains inaccessible under the organization content-exclusion policy.
- Workspace Poe fan-out remains blocked by the pre-existing missing packages/durabletask/pyproject.toml; equivalent package-local checks passed.

* Reconcile approval snapshots with lifecycle state

Key decisions:
- Keep Approval State authoritative and emit typed snapshot reconciliation keyed by logical occurrence identity.
- Retire settled, rejected, cancelled, expired, indeterminate, and missing controls while preserving nonterminal authority.
- Reconcile stale snapshots before hydration or resume, and retain lifecycle deduplication when snapshot saves fail.

- Workspace Poe fan-out remains blocked by the pre-existing missing packages/durabletask/pyproject.toml; equivalent package-local checks passed.

* Bound process-local approval lifecycle state

Key decisions:
- Protect pending, claimed, executing, and indeterminate occurrences from eviction while retaining terminal outcomes for a configurable 15-minute process-local deduplication window.
- Serialize complete approval batches by logical occurrence locks so aliases share atomic decisions and independent batches can progress concurrently.
- Fail capacity, claim, and settlement conflicts explicitly, and emit redacted structured lifecycle telemetry without tool names, arguments, or approval payloads.
- Remove legacy LRU eviction paths so active Approval State and middleware state are never silently discarded.

- The function-calling-loop scenario mapping remains inaccessible under the organization content-exclusion policy.
- Workspace Poe fan-out remains blocked by the pre-existing missing packages/durabletask/pyproject.toml; equivalent package-local checks passed.

* Complete approval lifecycle cutover

Key decisions:
- Make ApprovalLifecycle the sole owner of trusted aliases, occurrence metadata, authority transitions, and retained outcomes.
- Remove the parallel mutable pending-approval registry and route local, hosted, deferred, cancellation, replay, and snapshot reconciliation through lifecycle occurrences.
- Encapsulate middleware Approval State behind copy-isolated store methods while keeping AG-UI protocol normalization and event projection in the runner.
