* fix: move Key Citations to early position in reporter prompt to reduce URL hallucination
Move the Key Citations section from position 6 (end of report) to position 2
(immediately after title) in the reporter prompt. When citations are placed at
the end of a long report, LLMs tend to forget real URLs from source material
and fabricate plausible-looking but non-existent URLs.
Changes to src/prompts/reporter.md:
- Move Key Citations from section 6 to section 2 (right after Title)
- Add explicit anti-hallucination instructions: only use URLs from provided
source material, never fabricate or guess URLs
- Keep a repeated citation list at the end (section 7) for completeness
- Renumber all subsequent sections accordingly
- Update Notes section to reflect new structure
Tested with real DeerFlow backend + DuckDuckGo search:
- Before: multiple hallucinated URLs in report citations
- After: hallucinated URLs reduced significantly
Closes#825
* fix: move citations after observations in reporter_node to reduce URL hallucination
Previously, the citation message was appended BEFORE observation messages,
meaning it got buried under potentially thousands of chars of research data.
By the time the LLM reached the end of the context to generate the report,
it had 'forgotten' the real URLs and fabricated plausible-looking ones.
Now citations are appended AFTER compressed observations, placing them
closest to the LLM's generation point for maximum recall accuracy.

- Expand Docker Compose section in README.md and README_zh.md with:
- Explicit note that only root .env is used (not web/.env)
- Instructions to update NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL for remote/LAN deployment
- Explanation that NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL is a build-time variable
- Improve NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL comments in root .env.example
Closes#527
This commit fixes a potential AttributeError in ChatStreamManager.__init__().
Problem:
- When checkpoint_saver=True and db_uri=None, the code attempts to call
self.db_uri.startswith() on line 56, which raises AttributeError
- Line 56: if self.db_uri.startswith("mongodb://"):
This fails with "AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'"
Root Cause:
- The __init__ method accepts db_uri: Optional[str] = None
- If None is passed, self.db_uri is set to None
- The code doesn't check if db_uri is None before calling .startswith()
Solution:
- Add explicit None check before string prefix checks
- Provide clear warning message when db_uri is None but checkpoint_saver is enabled
- This prevents AttributeError and helps users understand the configuration issue
Changes:
```python
# Before:
if self.checkpoint_saver:
if self.db_uri.startswith("mongodb://"):
# After:
if self.checkpoint_saver:
if self.db_uri is None:
self.logger.warning(
"Checkpoint saver is enabled but db_uri is None. "
"Please provide a valid database URI or disable checkpoint saver."
)
elif self.db_uri.startswith("mongodb://"):
```
This makes the error handling more robust and provides better user feedback.

The compress_messages method was being called by PreModelHookMiddleware

This caused a TypeError when the middleware executed the pre_model_hook.
Added optional runtime parameter to compress_messages signature to match
the expected interface while maintaining backward compatibility.

Fixes a critical bug in the from_runnable_config() method where falsy values (like False, 0, and empty strings) were being incorrectly filtered out, causing configuration fields to revert to their default values. The fix changes the filter condition from if v to if v is not None, ensuring only None values are skipped.
* fix(config): Add support for MCP server configuration parameters
* refact: rename the sse_readtimeout to sse_read_timeout
* update the code with review comments
* update the MCP document for the latest change
This pull request adds support for custom HTTP headers to the MCP server configuration and ensures that these headers are properly validated and included when adding new MCP servers. The changes are primarily focused on extending the schema and data handling for MCP server metadata.

When NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL is not explicitly configured, the frontend now
automatically detects the API URL based on the current page's hostname.
This allows accessing DeerFlow from other machines without rebuilding
the frontend.
- Add getBaseURL() helper with runtime window.location detection
- Use same protocol and hostname with default port 8000
- Preserve explicit NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL configuration when set
- Fallback to localhost:8000 for SSR scenarios
