Mason Daugherty 4f34c51d4b feat(code): add /summarization-model (#5884)
Closes #4483

dcode users can now choose a dedicated model for conversation compaction
without changing the main agent model.

---

Add `/summarization-model [provider:model|--clear]`,
`--summarization-model MODEL`, and `[models].summarization_default` with
CLI → TOML → main-model fallback precedence.

The selected model is used for automatic compaction, model-triggered
`compact_conversation`, and server-owned `/offload`. Runtime summarizers
are request-local, so changing the summary model does not mutate the
main agent model, its system-prompt identity, or shared middleware
state.

"""Create a CLI-configured agent with flexible options.
This is the main entry point for creating a Deep Agents Code agent, usable
both internally and from external code (e.g., benchmarking frameworks).
Args:
model: LLM model to use (e.g., `'provider:model'`)
assistant_id: Agent identifier for memory/state storage
tools: Additional tools to provide to agent.
mcp_tools: Exact MCP tools within `tools`, used to extend approval policy
from their protocol annotations.
sandbox: Optional sandbox backend for remote execution
(e.g., `ModalSandbox`).
If `None`, uses local filesystem + shell.
sandbox_type: Type of sandbox provider
(`'agentcore'`, `'daytona'`, `'langsmith'`, `'modal'`, `'runloop'`).
Used for system prompt generation.
system_prompt: Override the default system prompt.
If `None`, a system prompt is auto-generated with dynamic context
interpolated in (model identity, working directory, sandbox vs.
local execution mode, skills path, and interactive-vs-headless
guidance).
!!! warning
Passing a value here replaces that auto-generated prompt
entirely — none of the dynamic context above is added, and
`sandbox_type` and `interactive` no longer influence the
prompt. Only pass an explicit prompt when you intend to take
full ownership of the system prompt's content.
interactive: When `False`, the auto-generated system prompt is
tailored for headless non-interactive execution, and every stack
gains terminal-stall recovery middleware (a runtime no-op unless the
resolved model is Fireworks GLM-5.2). Only the system-prompt
tailoring is ignored when `system_prompt` is provided explicitly;
the recovery wiring still applies.
auto_approve: If `True`, no tools trigger human-in-the-loop
interrupts — all calls (shell execution, file writes/edits,
web search, URL fetch) run automatically.
If `False`, tools pause for user confirmation via the approval menu.
See `_add_interrupt_on` for the full list of gated tools.
auto_mode_enabled: Install classifier-backed Auto for local TUI or ACP
runtimes. Callers must leave this disabled for headless and
sandbox-backed graphs.
interrupt_shell_only: If `True`, all HITL interrupts are disabled;
shell commands are validated inline by `ShellAllowListMiddleware`
against the configured allow-list instead.
Used in non-interactive mode with a restrictive shell allow-list
to avoid splitting traces into multiple LangSmith runs.
Has no effect when `auto_approve` is `True` (interrupts are already
disabled) or when `shell_allow_list` is `SHELL_ALLOW_ALL`.
shell_allow_list: Explicit restrictive shell allow-list forwarded from
the CLI process. When provided (and `interrupt_shell_only` is
`True`), used directly instead of resolving `shell.allow_list`
again in the server subprocess.
fs_tools: Allowlist of filesystem tools to expose to the agent, from
`--allow-fs-tools`. `None` (default; also what `--allow-fs-tools
all` parses to) leaves `FilesystemMiddleware` at its SDK default
(all tools). An explicit list (which must include `"read_file"`)
installs a `FilesystemMiddleware` restricted to those tool names,
replacing the SDK's default for the main agent and every synchronous
subagent (including `general-purpose`) as well as the nested
goal-criteria agent, so delegation cannot bypass the restriction.
Async subagents are unaffected (they run on their own remote
backend, not the local filesystem).
enable_ask_user: Enable `AskUserMiddleware` so the agent can ask
clarifying questions.
Non-interactive callers without a resume loop must explicitly pass
`enable_ask_user=False`.
enable_memory: Enable `MemoryMiddleware` for persistent memory
memory_auto_save: When `True` (default), the memory prompt tells the
agent to proactively persist learnings to the `AGENTS.md` sources.
When `False`, memory is still loaded into context but the read-only
prompt is used instead, so the agent does not auto-save; explicit
saves (e.g. the `remember` skill) still work.
No effect when
`enable_memory` is `False`.
enable_skills: Enable `SkillsMiddleware` for custom agent skills
enable_shell: Enable shell execution via `LocalShellBackend`
(only in local mode). When enabled, the `execute` tool is available.
enable_interpreter: Wire `CodeInterpreterMiddleware` from
`langchain-quickjs` into the main agent.
Local-mode only — passing a non-`None` `sandbox` while
`enable_interpreter=True` raises `ValueError`. Subagents do not
receive the interpreter in v1.
PTC (`tools.*` host bridge) calls bypass `interrupt_on`/HITL
approval, so `InterpreterConfig.ptc` is the only effective
control over which host tools can be invoked from inside the
REPL. `js_eval` itself is intentionally not gated by HITL —
per-call approval would be unusably noisy and would not block
PTC fan-out anyway. The `"safe"` preset is therefore restricted
to tools that are already non-HITL outside the REPL (read-only
file inspection); exposing HITL-gated tools — network fetch,
subagent dispatch, shell, file writes — requires an explicit
list or `interpreter_ptc="all"` with
`interpreter_ptc_acknowledge_unsafe=True`.
Requires the core `langchain-quickjs` dependency.
interpreter_config: Resolver-backed interpreter settings snapshot.
Direct callers may omit this to resolve one for the current
process. The server supplies a snapshot that incorporates its
invocation-scoped PTC overrides.
rubric_model: Default grader model. `None` makes the grader follow
the active main model. Either way a thread's recorded
`_rubric_model_spec` selection takes precedence.
A `'provider:model'` string or `BaseChatModel`.
When `None`, the main `model` is reused.
rubric_max_iterations: Explicit grader iterations per rubric attempt
before the agent terminates with `'max_iterations_reached'`; `None`
uses the SDK default.
auto_classifier_model: Model the Auto approval classifier reviews with.
A `'provider:model'` string or `BaseChatModel`.
When `None`, `DEEPAGENTS_CODE_AUTO_CLASSIFIER_MODEL` is consulted,
then `[models].auto_classifier`, and the main `model` is reused when
both are unset. A blank string is *not* the same as `None`: it means
"inherit the main model" directly and, unlike `None`, does not
consult the env var or `config.toml`. Only meaningful when
`auto_mode_enabled` is `True`.
recursion_limit: Explicit LangGraph `recursion_limit` (graph step budget)
for the main agent. When `None`, it is resolved from runtime
configuration. If unset, no `recursion_limit` is bound.
checkpointer: Optional checkpointer for session persistence.
When `None`, the graph is compiled without a checkpointer.
store: Optional LangGraph Store for runtime approval state.
mcp_server_info: MCP server metadata to surface in the system prompt.
cwd: Override the working directory for the agent's filesystem backend
and system prompt.
project_context: Explicit project path context for project-sensitive
behavior such as project `AGENTS.md` files, skills, subagents, and
MCP trust.
async_subagents: Remote LangGraph deployments to expose as async subagent tools.
Loaded from `[async_subagents]` in `config.toml` or passed directly.
goal_criteria_tools: External read-only context tools available to server-side
goal criteria generation. `None` disables goal criteria requests.
rubric_grader_tools: External read-only context tools available to rubric
grading for verifying work completed in MCP-backed or web-accessible
systems.
model_retries: Model-node retry attempts after the first call. `0`
disables retries. Resolved upstream from config/CLI.
cli_max_retries: The `--max-retries` flag value, or `None` when unset.
Forwarded to subagent, Auto classifier, and runtime offload models
so each one resolves its own provider's configured budget unless the
user overrode it globally.
summarization_model: Model spec used only for context-compaction summaries.
The model is resolved lazily when compaction first runs. `None`
reuses the effective main model.
enforce_model_policy: Check every model string against `models.allowed`.
Pass `False` **only** from callers that compile a graph they never
invoke (tool enumeration), so a blocked subagent model degrades the
listing rather than raising. Any caller that can run the graph must
leave this `True`.
extension_registry: Server-owned Python extension registrations.
Returns:
2-tuple of `(agent_graph, backend)`
- `agent_graph`: Configured LangGraph Pregel instance ready
for execution
- `composite_backend`: `CompositeBackend` for file operations
Raises:
ValueError: When `enable_interpreter=True` is paired with a
non-`None` `sandbox`, when `InterpreterConfig.ptc` contains
unknown tool names, or when `interpreter_ptc="all"` is used
without `auto_approve` or `interpreter_ptc_acknowledge_unsafe`.
ModelNotAllowedError: When `model`, `auto_classifier_model`,
`rubric_model`, or a subagent's frontmatter `model` is a string
outside the effective `models.allowed` policy. Model strings are
checked before dcode resolves them with provider retries disabled;
a prebuilt `BaseChatModel` came from a path that already checked.
