Release v4.5.117

Implemented automatic discovery and loading of protocol-driven plugins
via pip in the `PluginManager`. The new method `discover_entry_points`
fetches entry points from the `praisonai.plugins` group, loads callable
plugins, and registers them. Updated version number to 1.5.117.

         CRITICAL INSTRUCTION: If your task involves modifying codebase files to add a feature or fix a bug:
-        1. ALWAYS create a new git branch appropriately named (e.g. \`feature/issue-<number>\`).
-        2. MANDATORY: Before writing any code, you MUST carefully read "src/praisonai-agents/AGENTS.md" to understand this repository's extremely specific Architecture, Protocol-First design rules, and Agent-Centric Philosophy.
-        3. Make your necessary code changes honoring the rules in AGENTS.md.
-        4. Commit your changes and push the branch to the remote repository.
-        5. Use the GitHub CLI (\`gh pr create --title "..." --body "Fixes #<number>"\`) to open a Pull Request containing your work.

+
+        STEP 0 — SETUP GIT IDENTITY:
+        git config user.name "MervinPraison"
+        git config user.email "[email protected]"
+
+        STEP 1 — READ GUIDELINES:
+        MANDATORY: Before writing any code, you MUST carefully read "src/praisonai-agents/AGENTS.md" to understand this repository's extremely specific Architecture, Protocol-First design rules, and Agent-Centric Philosophy.
+
+        STEP 2 — ARCHITECTURE VALIDATION & ROUTING (MANDATORY before writing code):
+        Before implementing anything, answer these questions:
+        - CORE vs WRAPPER vs TOOLS ROUTING:
+          1. Core SDK (praisonaiagents/): Only core protocols, base classes, decorators. No heavy implementations.
+          2. Wrapper (praisonai/): CLI, heavy implementations, optional dependencies.
+          3. Tools (PraisonAI-Tools): Specific integrations, external tools (e.g. SurrealDB, Slack), and community extensions MUST go to the `MervinPraison/PraisonAI-Tools` repository. If the feature is a tool, clone `https://github.com/MervinPraison/PraisonAI-Tools`, implement it there, and create the PR using `gh pr create -R MervinPraison/PraisonAI-Tools`.
+        - Does it duplicate existing functionality? Check if Agent already supports this via existing params (reflection, planning, tools, hooks, memory).
+        - Does it inherit from Agent properly? New agent types MUST inherit Agent, not wrap it with composition.
+        - Does it add new dependencies? Only optional deps allowed, must be lazy-imported.
+        - Will agent.py grow larger? If the change adds >50 lines to agent.py, find a way to extract instead.
+        - Is there a name collision with existing exports in __init__.py?
+        If ANY of these conceptual checks fail (excluding routing), add a comment to the issue explaining why and close it. Do NOT create a PR.
+
+        STEP 3 — IMPLEMENT:
+        - Create a new git branch appropriately named (e.g. \`feature/issue-<number>\`)
+        - Follow protocol-driven design: protocols in core SDK, heavy implementations in wrapper
+        - Keep changes small and backward-compatible
+
+        STEP 4 — TEST:
+        - Run: cd src/praisonai-agents && PYTHONPATH=. python -m pytest tests/ -x -q --timeout=30
+        - Ensure no regressions
+
+        STEP 5 — CREATE PR:
+        - Commit with descriptive message, push the branch
+        - Use the GitHub CLI (\`gh pr create --title "..." --body "Fixes #<number>"\`) to open a Pull Request
+        CRITICAL: You MUST create the PR automatically using \`gh pr create\`. Do NOT just provide a link.

             STEP 1 — READ GUIDELINES:
             Read AGENTS.md to understand the architecture rules.
 
-            STEP 2 — ARCHITECTURE VALIDATION (MANDATORY before writing code):
+            STEP 2 — ARCHITECTURE VALIDATION & ROUTING (MANDATORY before writing code):
             Before implementing anything, answer these questions:
-            - Does this add heavy implementations to the core SDK (praisonaiagents)? If YES → move it to the wrapper (praisonai) or make it a plugin.
+            - CORE vs WRAPPER vs TOOLS vs DOCS vs PLUGINS ROUTING:
+              1. Core SDK (praisonaiagents/): Only core protocols, base classes, decorators. No heavy implementations.
+              2. Wrapper (praisonai/): CLI, heavy implementations, optional dependencies.
+              3. Tools (PraisonAI-Tools): Capabilities Agents actively call during execution (e.g. SurrealDB tool, Slack tool).
+              4. Documentation (PraisonAIDocs): Documentation pages, guides, API references.
+              5. Plugins (PraisonAI-Plugins): Framework lifecycle extensions replacing systemic behavior (e.g. tracing, logging, metrics, hooks, guardrails).
+              For items routed to an EXTERNAL repository (Tools, Docs, Plugins), follow STEP 3-ALT below.
             - Does it duplicate existing functionality? Check if Agent already supports this via existing params (reflection, planning, tools, hooks, memory).
             - Does it inherit from Agent properly? New agent types MUST inherit Agent, not wrap it with composition.
             - Does it add new dependencies? Only optional deps allowed, must be lazy-imported.
             - Will agent.py grow larger? If the change adds >50 lines to agent.py, find a way to extract instead.
             - Is there a name collision with existing exports in __init__.py?
-            If ANY of these checks fail, add a comment to the issue explaining why and close it. Do NOT create a PR.
+            If ANY of these conceptual checks fail (excluding routing), add a comment to the issue explaining why and close it. Do NOT create a PR.
 
-            STEP 3 — IMPLEMENT:
+            STEP 3 — IMPLEMENT (for changes in THIS repo — PraisonAI):
             - Create a fix branch and implement a minimal, focused fix
             - Follow protocol-driven design: protocols in core SDK, heavy implementations in wrapper
             - Keep changes small and backward-compatible
 
+            STEP 3-ALT — IMPLEMENT IN EXTERNAL REPO (for PraisonAI-Tools, PraisonAIDocs, PraisonAI-Plugins):
+            When work must happen in a different repository, follow these steps EXACTLY. Do NOT attempt to use `cd`, as directory state is not preserved. Use `git -C` for all commands.
+            a) Clone the repository:
+               gh repo clone MervinPraison/<REPO_NAME> /tmp/<REPO_NAME>
+            b) Copy GitHub authentication from the main repository so push works seamlessly:
+               git -C /tmp/<REPO_NAME> config http."https://github.com/".extraheader "$(git config --get http."https://github.com/".extraheader)"
+            c) Create a feature branch (NEVER commit to main):
+               git -C /tmp/<REPO_NAME> checkout -b claude/issue-$ISSUE_NUMBER-$(date +%Y%m%d)
+            d) Make your changes using absolute paths (e.g. edit /tmp/<REPO_NAME>/docs.json)
+            e) Commit:
+               git -C /tmp/<REPO_NAME> add -A
+               git -C /tmp/<REPO_NAME> commit -m "feat: <description> (fixes #$ISSUE_NUMBER)"
+            f) Push the branch:
+               git -C /tmp/<REPO_NAME> push origin claude/issue-$ISSUE_NUMBER-$(date +%Y%m%d)
+            g) Create PR in the EXTERNAL repo:
+               gh pr create -R MervinPraison/<REPO_NAME> --head claude/issue-$ISSUE_NUMBER-$(date +%Y%m%d) --title "feat: <title>" --body "Fixes MervinPraison/PraisonAI#$ISSUE_NUMBER
