# Configuration for the DeerFlow application
#
# Guidelines:
# - Copy this file to `config.yaml` and customize it for your environment
# - The default path of this configuration file is `config.yaml` in the current working directory.
#   However you can change it using the `DEER_FLOW_CONFIG_PATH` environment variable.
# - Environment variables are available for all field values. Example: `api_key: $OPENAI_API_KEY`
# - The `use` path is a string that looks like "package_name.sub_package_name.module_name:class_name/variable_name".

tool_search:
  enabled: false

# ============================================================================
# Sandbox Configuration
# ============================================================================
# Choose between local sandbox (direct execution) or Docker-based AIO sandbox

# Option 1: Local Sandbox (Default)
# Executes commands directly on the host machine
sandbox:
  use: deerflow.sandbox.local:LocalSandboxProvider

# Option 2: Container-based AIO Sandbox
# Executes commands in isolated containers (Docker or Apple Container)
# On macOS: Automatically prefers Apple Container if available, falls back to Docker
# On other platforms: Uses Docker
# Uncomment to use:
# sandbox:
#   use: deerflow.community.aio_sandbox:AioSandboxProvider
#
#   # Optional: Container image to use (works with both Docker and Apple Container)
#   # Default: enterprise-public-cn-beijing.cr.volces.com/vefaas-public/all-in-one-sandbox:latest
#   # Recommended: enterprise-public-cn-beijing.cr.volces.com/vefaas-public/all-in-one-sandbox:latest (works on both x86_64 and arm64)
#   # image: enterprise-public-cn-beijing.cr.volces.com/vefaas-public/all-in-one-sandbox:latest
#
#   # Optional: Base port for sandbox containers (default: 8080)
#   # port: 8080

#   # Optional: Maximum number of concurrent sandbox containers (default: 3)
#   # When the limit is reached the least-recently-used sandbox is evicted to
#   # make room for new ones. Use a positive integer here; omit this field to use the default.
#   # replicas: 3
#
#   # Optional: Prefix for container names (default: deer-flow-sandbox)
#   # container_prefix: deer-flow-sandbox
#
#   # Optional: Additional mount directories from host to container
#   # NOTE: Skills directory is automatically mounted from skills.path to skills.container_path
#   # mounts:
#   #   # Other custom mounts
#   #   - host_path: /path/on/host
#   #     container_path: /home/user/shared
#   #     read_only: false
#
#   # Optional: Environment variables to inject into the sandbox container
#   # Values starting with $ will be resolved from host environment variables
#   # environment:
#   #   NODE_ENV: production
#   #   DEBUG: "false"
#   #   API_KEY: $MY_API_KEY        # Reads from host's MY_API_KEY env var
#   #   DATABASE_URL: $DATABASE_URL  # Reads from host's DATABASE_URL env var

# Option 3: Provisioner-managed AIO Sandbox (docker-compose-dev)
# Each sandbox_id gets a dedicated Pod in k3s, managed by the provisioner.
# Recommended for production or advanced users who want better isolation and scalability.:
# sandbox:
#   use: deerflow.community.aio_sandbox:AioSandboxProvider
#   provisioner_url: http://provisioner:8002

# ============================================================================
# Subagents Configuration
# ============================================================================
# Configure timeouts for subagent execution
# Subagents are background workers delegated tasks by the lead agent

# subagents:
#   # Default timeout in seconds for all subagents (default: 900 = 15 minutes)
#   timeout_seconds: 900
#
#   # Optional per-agent timeout overrides
#   agents:
#     general-purpose:
#       timeout_seconds: 1800  # 30 minutes for complex multi-step tasks
#     bash:
#       timeout_seconds: 300   # 5 minutes for quick command execution

# ============================================================================
# Skills Configuration
# ============================================================================
# Configure skills directory for specialized agent workflows

skills:
  # Path to skills directory on the host (relative to project root or absolute)
  # Default: ../skills (relative to backend directory)
  # Uncomment to customize:
  # path: /absolute/path/to/custom/skills

  # Path where skills are mounted in the sandbox container
  # This is used by the agent to access skills in both local and Docker sandbox
  # Default: /mnt/skills
  container_path: /mnt/skills

# ============================================================================
# Title Generation Configuration
# ============================================================================
# Automatic conversation title generation settings

title:
  enabled: true
  max_words: 6
  max_chars: 60
  model_name: null # Use default model (first model in models list)

# ============================================================================
# Summarization Configuration
# ============================================================================
# Automatically summarize conversation history when token limits are approached
# This helps maintain context in long conversations without exceeding model limits

summarization:
  enabled: true

  # Model to use for summarization (null = use default model)
  # Recommended: Use a lightweight, cost-effective model like "gpt-4o-mini" or similar
  model_name: null

  # Trigger conditions - at least one required
  # Summarization runs when ANY threshold is met (OR logic)
  # You can specify a single trigger or a list of triggers
  trigger:
    # Trigger when token count reaches 15564
    - type: tokens
      value: 15564
    # Uncomment to also trigger when message count reaches 50
    # - type: messages
    #   value: 50
    # Uncomment to trigger when 80% of model's max input tokens is reached
    # - type: fraction
    #   value: 0.8

  # Context retention policy after summarization
  # Specifies how much recent history to preserve
  keep:
    # Keep the most recent 10 messages (recommended)
    type: messages
    value: 10
    # Alternative: Keep specific token count
    # type: tokens
    # value: 3000
    # Alternative: Keep percentage of model's max input tokens
    # type: fraction
    # value: 0.3

  # Maximum tokens to keep when preparing messages for summarization
  # Set to null to skip trimming (not recommended for very long conversations)
  trim_tokens_to_summarize: 15564

  # Custom summary prompt template (null = use default LangChain prompt)
  # The prompt should guide the model to extract important context
  summary_prompt: null

# ============================================================================
# Memory Configuration
# ============================================================================
# Global memory mechanism
# Stores user context and conversation history for personalized responses
memory:
  enabled: true
  storage_path: memory.json # Path relative to backend directory
  debounce_seconds: 30 # Wait time before processing queued updates
  model_name: null # Use default model
  max_facts: 100 # Maximum number of facts to store
  fact_confidence_threshold: 0.7 # Minimum confidence for storing facts
  injection_enabled: true # Whether to inject memory into system prompt
  max_injection_tokens: 2000 # Maximum tokens for memory injection

# ============================================================================
# Checkpointer Configuration
# ============================================================================
# Configure state persistence for the embedded DeerFlowClient.
# The LangGraph Server manages its own state persistence separately
# via the server infrastructure (this setting does not affect it).
#
# When configured, DeerFlowClient will automatically use this checkpointer,
# enabling multi-turn conversations to persist across process restarts.
#
# Supported types:
#   memory   - In-process only. State is lost when the process exits. (default)
#   sqlite   - File-based SQLite persistence. Survives restarts.
#              Requires: uv add langgraph-checkpoint-sqlite
#   postgres - PostgreSQL persistence. Suitable for multi-process deployments.
#              Requires: uv add langgraph-checkpoint-postgres psycopg[binary] psycopg-pool
#
# Examples:
#
# In-memory (default when omitted — no persistence):
# checkpointer:
#   type: memory
#
# SQLite (file-based, single-process):
checkpointer:
  type: sqlite
  connection_string: checkpoints.db
#
# PostgreSQL (multi-process, production):
# checkpointer:
#   type: postgres
#   connection_string: postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/deerflow
