revert: restore intentional defects in ai_code_editor_fixture

The AI code-editor smoke-test fixture is intentionally broken so live
scenarios (implement celsius_to_fahrenheit / fahrenheit_to_celsius / mode,
fix mean/median empty-list handling) exercise the AI editor's repair
capability. Pre-implementing these functions caused acceptance tests to
pass WITHOUT the editor doing any work, defeating the fixture's purpose.

Also removes the redundant conftest.py sys.path mutation; pyproject.toml
already sets pythonpath = ["src"].

 - When reviewing a PR or an issue, evaluate whether the change addresses a framework concern or a user goal, and design its surface (params, naming, defaults) accordingly
 - The aim of this package is to stay **lightweight and powerful**. Do a critical review at each stage — when triaging an issue, when planning a fix, and when reviewing/implementing a PR. Reject scope creep for the sake of adding features: if a capability already exists (e.g. via existing Agent params like `instructions`/`backstory`/`tools`/`hooks`/`memory`), prefer it over a new API surface. A change must genuinely strengthen the SDK (simpler, more robust, more user-friendly) — do not add knobs, params, modules, or exports that have no live consumer or that merely duplicate existing behaviour.

+## 🧬 The Five-Layer Agent Stack
+
+Most frameworks hand you one or two layers and leave the rest as homework. PraisonAI covers **all five** — plus the outer layer that decides *where* your agent actually runs.
+
+Each layer wraps the one inside it. When an agent misbehaves, the layer tells you where to look.
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│ ⬡ MANAGED AGENTS — Where does it actually run?                  │
+│ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │

+│ │ │ │ 3 · HARNESS — Can it act, and be checked?           │ │ │ │

+```
+
+| Layer | The question it answers | PraisonAI |
+|:--|:--|:--|
+| **1 · Prompt** | Did I say it clearly? | `instructions=`, `role`/`goal`/`backstory`, `output=`, `templates=` |
+| **2 · Context** | Is the right thing in the window? | `memory=`, `knowledge=`, `context=`, handoff `ContextPolicy` |
+| **3 · Harness** | Can it act, and be checked? | `tools=`, `MCP()`, `guardrails=`, `approval=`, `hooks=`, `sandbox=` |
+| **4 · Loop** | When do we stop? | `execution=ExecutionConfig(...)`, `reflection=`, `autonomy=`, doom-loop detection |
+| **5 · Graph** | Who runs when, and who checks whom? | `AgentFlow`, `route()`, `parallel()`, `loop()`, `repeat()` |
+| **⬡ Managed** | *Where does it actually run?* | `run_on="docker"` — one shared remote sandbox, or a fully hosted loop |
+
+### Layer 1 · Prompt — *Did I say it clearly?*
+
+Role, instructions, examples, output format.
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents import Agent
+
+agent = Agent(
+    role="Senior Data Analyst",
+    goal="Turn raw numbers into decisions",
+    output="verbose",              # markdown-formatted output
+)
+agent.start("Summarise Q3 revenue trends")
+```
+
+### Layer 2 · Context — *Is the right thing in the window?*
+
+Write, select, compress, isolate — the four context operations, one parameter each.
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents import Agent
+
+agent = Agent(
+    instructions="You are a support engineer.",
+    memory={"user_id": "u-42"},    # write    — persists across runs (needs a user_id)
+    knowledge=["docs/"],           # select   — retrieves only what's relevant
+    context="summarize",           # compress — auto-compacts before the limit
+)
+```
+
+> **Isolate** is `handoffs=[specialist]` — a sub-agent inherits the last few messages and the intersection of your tools, not your whole transcript. [📖 Handoffs](https://docs.praison.ai/docs/concepts/handoffs)
+
+### Layer 3 · Harness — *Can it act, and be checked?*
+
+*Agent = Model + Harness.* Tool dispatch, plus the guides that steer before acting and the sensors that observe after.
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents import Agent, MCP, tool
+
+@tool
+def deploy(env: str) -> str:
+    """Deploy the current build to an environment."""
+    return f"Deployed to {env}"
+
+agent = Agent(
+    name="ReleaseEngineer",
+    instructions="You are a release engineer.",
+    tools=[deploy, MCP("npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem /tmp")],
+    approval=True,                 # guide — human gate before risky tools run
+)
+agent.start("Deploy to staging, then list the files you can read")
+```
+
+### Layer 4 · Loop — *When do we stop?*
+
+Hard iteration caps, budget ceilings, no-progress detection and completion checks — every brake is explicit.
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents import Agent, ExecutionConfig
+
+agent = Agent(
+    instructions="Fix the failing tests.",
+    execution=ExecutionConfig(max_iter=30, max_budget=0.50, on_budget_exceeded="stop"),
+    autonomy=True,                 # required to drive the loop with run_autonomous()
+)
+result = agent.run_autonomous("Refactor the auth module", max_iterations=5)
+
+print(result.completion_reason)
+# goal | no_tool_calls | max_iterations | timeout | doom_loop | needs_help | error
+# (with on_budget_exceeded="stop", hitting the cap raises BudgetExceededError,
+#  surfaced here as completion_reason="error")
+```
+
+> **Doom-loop detection is on by default.** Repeated identical tool calls and A→B→A→B oscillation get caught — while a poller whose output keeps changing does not. [📖 Doom Loop Detection](https://docs.praison.ai/docs/features/doom-loop-detection)
+
+### Layer 5 · Graph — *Who runs when, and who checks whom?*
+
+Topology as a versionable artifact: prompt chaining, routing, parallelisation, orchestrator-worker.
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents import AgentFlow
+from praisonaiagents.workflows import route, parallel, repeat
+
+flow = AgentFlow(steps=[
+    classifier,
+    route({"bug": [bug_agent], "feature": [feature_agent], "default": [triage]}),
+    parallel([reviewer, tester]),                      # fan out, join automatically
+    repeat(editor, until=lambda ctx: "approved" in ctx.previous_result.lower(),
+           max_iterations=3),                          # evaluator–optimizer
+])
+flow.run("Ticket #123: login fails on Safari")
+```
+
+> The same graph is expressible in YAML with no Python at all. [📖 AgentFlow](https://docs.praison.ai/docs/concepts/agentflow)
+
+### ⬡ Outside the stack: Managed Agents — *Where does it actually run?*
+
+The harness is commoditising; **where** the agent executes is the next multiplier. Rather than burning your laptop's CPU, hand an agent a short-lived cloud sandbox — repo, tools and tests run there.
+
+```bash
+pip install praisonai
+```
+
+The simplest way in is `run_on=` — one whole team or workflow shares **one** sandbox, so a file written by step 1 is there for step 2:
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents import Agent, AgentFlow
+
+writer = Agent(name="Writer", instructions="You write files.")
+reader = Agent(name="Reader", instructions="You read files.")
+
+flow = AgentFlow(run_on="docker", steps=[writer, reader])   # or e2b | modal | daytona | flyio
+flow.run("Write 'hello' to /workspace/note.txt, then read it back")
+```
+
+Same thing with no Python at all:
+
+```yaml
+name: remote-demo
+run_on: docker            # every step shares one sandbox
+agents:
+  writer: {role: Writer, goal: Write files}
+  reader: {role: Reader, goal: Read files}
+steps:
+  - agent: writer
+    action: "Write 'hello' to /workspace/note.txt"
+  - agent: reader
+    action: "Read /workspace/note.txt"
+```
+
+For a single agent, pick the axis you need — remote **tools** or a remote **loop**:
+
+```python
+from praisonai import Agent, LocalAgent, LocalAgentConfig, HostedAgent
+
+# A. Tools run in a remote sandbox; the agent loop stays local
+agent = Agent(name="builder", backend=LocalAgent(
+    compute="e2b",                     # or modal | daytona | flyio | docker | tenki
+    config=LocalAgentConfig(model="gpt-4o-mini", name="RemoteTools"),
+))
+
+# B. The entire agent loop runs in the cloud (needs ANTHROPIC_API_KEY)
+agent = Agent(name="teacher", backend=HostedAgent(provider="anthropic"))
+agent.start("Write a Python script that prints the first 10 primes, then run it")
+```
+
+See what is running and reclaim strays:
+
+```bash
+praisonai managed ps          # list running sandboxes
+praisonai managed stop --all  # reclaim them
+```
+
+Sandboxes shut themselves down when idle (`auto_shutdown`, `idle_timeout_s`), and a post-setup snapshot is reused so the next run skips the image pull and dependency install. Commit a `.praisonai/environment.yaml` and the environment travels with the repo.

+Human Review Between Sequential AgentTeam Tasks
+================================================
+
+Demonstrates a human-in-the-loop review gate between sequential tasks using the
+existing ``on_task_complete`` hook — no new API required.
+
+IMPORTANT — two different ``on_task_complete`` hooks exist, with DIFFERENT
+signatures. Do not confuse them:
+
+    AgentTeam(hooks=MultiAgentHooksConfig(on_task_complete=fn))
+        -> fn(task, task_output)          # team-level; gets the Task and its output
+
+    Task(on_task_complete=fn)
+        -> fn(task_output)                # 1 param: just the TaskOutput
+        -> fn(task_output, metadata)      # 2+ params: TaskOutput + metadata dict
+                                          #   NOTE: NOT (task, task_output)
+
+This example uses the TEAM-level hook so we get ``(task, task_output)`` and can
+filter which tasks require review by ``task.name``.
+
+Approve / reject / edit:
+- approve -> return, workflow continues
+- reject  -> raise; see "stopping the workflow" note below
+- edit    -> mutate ``task_output.raw``; downstream tasks that read this task via
+             ``context=[...]`` pick up the edited text
+
+Stopping the workflow on reject
+-------------------------------
+The TEAM-level hook logs and swallows exceptions, so a bare ``raise`` inside it
+does NOT stop the sequential run today. To hard-stop on reject, use the PER-TASK
+callback path with the 1-argument signature and ``fail_on_callback_error=True``
+(see ``review_output`` / ``t1_strict`` at the bottom of this file).

+# Simple Sequential Team (YAML)
+
+A minimal 2-agent sequential team: a **researcher** gathers facts, then a
+**writer** summarizes them. This is the copy-paste starting point for the most
+common multi-agent pattern (2–5 agents, run in order).
+
+```
+research_task  ->  summary_task
+ (researcher)       (writer)
+```
+
+## Files
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `agents.yaml` | Roles (who) + their tasks (what); tasks run in declaration order |
+
+> **Which loader applies?** This example uses the canonical single-file format
+> consumed by `AgentsGenerator.generate_crew_and_kickoff()`
+> (`src/praisonai/praisonai/agents_generator.py`). Agents live under `roles:`,
+> each with nested `tasks:`. **Tasks run in the order they are declared** — the
+> researcher's task first, then the writer's. (An optional top-level
+> `dependencies:` block is included to document intent and mirror the canonical
+> fixture, but the roles-file loader sequences by declaration order, so keep
+> tasks in the order you want them to run.) No new loader module is required —
+> this is the existing YAML path.
+
+## Run it
+
+```bash
+export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
+praisonai examples/yaml/teams/research-writer/agents.yaml
+```
+
+This positional-file form is the canonical roles-file entry point. From Python
+the equivalent is `praisonai.run("agents.yaml")` (see
+`src/praisonai/praisonai/_entrypoint.py`), which dispatches to the same
+`AgentsGenerator`.
+
+Change the subject by editing the `topic:` line in `agents.yaml` (interpolated
+into every `{topic}` placeholder).
+
+## When to use this vs a workflow YAML
+
+| You need… | Use | Example |
+|-----------|-----|---------|
+| 2–5 agents, sequential/hierarchical | **This** (`roles:` + `tasks:`) | `agents.yaml` here |
+| Routing by classifier output | workflow YAML | `../../workflows/routing_workflow.yaml` |
+| Parallel branches | workflow YAML | `../../workflows/parallel_workflow.yaml` |
+| Loops / planning / memory | workflow YAML | `../../workflows/complete_workflow.yaml` |
+
+## Python equivalent
+
+```python
+from praisonaiagents import Agent, Task, PraisonAIAgents
+
+researcher = Agent(role="Senior Researcher", goal="Find accurate information")
+writer = Agent(role="Report Writer", goal="Turn research into summaries")
+
+t1 = Task(description="Research renewable energy and list 5 key facts", agent=researcher)
+t2 = Task(description="Write a 3-sentence summary from the research", agent=writer, context=[t1])
+
+PraisonAIAgents(agents=[researcher, writer], tasks=[t1, t2]).start()

+    channels. Every adapter replaces its bespoke ladder with one call and
+    records ``decision.reason_code``.
+
+    The ladder (first matching gate wins):
+
+    1. **Block-list** — an explicitly blocked sender is always dropped
+       (``blocked``), taking precedence over any allowlist entry.
+    2. **Allow-list** — when an ``allowlist`` is configured and the sender is
+       not in it, drop (``not_in_allowlist``). An empty/``None`` allowlist means
+       "no allowlist restriction".
+    3. **Pairing** — an unknown but not-yet-``paired`` sender that passed the
+       allowlist gate requires pairing (``pairing_required``).
+    4. **Group policy** — for group/channel chats only:
+         - ``command_only``: admit commands, else drop (``command_only``);
+         - ``mention_only``: admit mentions/commands, else drop
+           (``group_mention_only``);
+         - ``observe``: admit mentions/commands, else *observe* (recorded, no
+           run) with reason ``observe``;
+         - ``respond_all``: admit everything;
+         - unset/unknown: treated as ``mention_only`` (the live
+           ``BotConfig.group_policy`` default), so an adapter forwarding an
+           unset policy does not silently reply to all group traffic.
+
+    Direct (DM/private) chats skip the group-policy gate entirely.
+
+    Args:
+        chat_type: Native chat type (e.g. ``"dm"``, ``"private"``, ``"group"``,
+            ``"channel"``, ``"supergroup"``). Anything not in the direct set is
+            treated as a group for policy purposes.
+        sender_id: Stable sender identifier used for allow/block-list checks.
+        is_mention: Whether the bot was mentioned/@-addressed in the message.
+        is_command: Whether the message is a bot command (always allowed under
+            ``mention_only`` / ``command_only`` / ``observe``).
+        allowlist: Optional collection of allowed sender ids to *enforce*.
+            Empty/``None`` disables the allowlist gate (no restriction). This is
+            the already-resolved list — an adapter that wants an empty allowlist
+            to mean "deny unknown" (``BotConfig.is_explicitly_allowed`` +
+            ``unknown_user_policy``) resolves that upstream into the ``paired``
+            flag rather than passing an empty ``allowlist`` here.
+        blocklist: Optional collection of blocked sender ids.
+        group_policy: One of ``respond_all`` / ``mention_only`` /
+            ``command_only`` / ``observe``. ``None`` or unknown values behave as
+            ``mention_only`` — the live ``BotConfig.group_policy`` default — so
+            an unset policy fails safe (mention-gated) rather than open.
+        paired: Whether the sender is already paired/known. ``True`` (the
+            default) means pairing is not required.
+
+    Returns:

+"""Declarative webhook filter — a tiny, import-light matcher for HTTP events.
+
+A generic webhook channel needs to decide, purely from configuration, whether
+an inbound HTTP event should trigger an agent. This module provides that
+decision as a small, side-effect-free predicate tree so the heavy HTTP-serving
+ingress (in ``praisonai-bot``) — and any third-party channel — can reuse one
+canonical filter semantics instead of re-implementing payload matching.
+
+The filter is expressed as plain dict/JSON so it round-trips through YAML:
+
+    when:
+      all:
+        - { field: headers.X-GitHub-Event, equals: issues }
+        - { field: payload.action, in: [opened, reopened] }
+
+Grammar
+-------
+A node is either a *combinator* or a *leaf*.
+
+Combinators (compose sub-nodes)::
+
+    {"all": [<node>, ...]}   # AND — every child must match (empty = True)
+    {"any": [<node>, ...]}   # OR  — at least one child matches (empty = False)
+    {"not": <node>}          # negation
+
+Leaf (a single field test)::
+
+    {"field": "payload.action", "<op>": <value>}
+
+where ``<op>`` is one of:
+
+- ``exists``  — truthy check the field is present (value: bool, default True)
+- ``equals``  — equality (string-insensitive for headers is *not* implied;
+                 compares the resolved value to ``value``)
+- ``contains``— substring / membership (``value in resolved``)
+- ``in``      — resolved value is one of ``value`` (a list)
+- ``regex``   — ``re.search(value, str(resolved))``
+
+``field`` is a dotted path into the event mapping, e.g. ``payload.issue.number``
+or ``headers.X-GitHub-Event``. Header lookup is case-insensitive. A missing path
+resolves to ``None`` and simply fails the leaf (fail-safe), it never raises.
+
+This module has no third-party imports and does not perform any I/O, so it is
+safe to keep in the core SDK; the wrapper composes it with HMAC verification and
+the ingress journal.

+and an actionable next step. It is a generic protocol + default in-process impl
+with no heavy third-party imports, mirroring the existing gateway
+policy-protocol + default-impl pattern in ``protocols.py``.
