This commit transforms the agent system from traditional ReAct to Reflexion-based Dynamic Planning: - Add REFLECTING state to AgentStatus for self-reflection on failures - Implement reflect_on_failure() method in PlannerAgent for analyzing errors - Add reflection field to Step model to store self-correction insights - Modify CREATE_PLAN_PROMPT to generate goal + first step only (not full plan) - Redesign UPDATE_PLAN_PROMPT for dynamic next-step generation based on results - Add REFLECT_ON_FAILURE_PROMPT for failure analysis and correction suggestions - Refactor PlanActFlow.run() loop to support: Plan -> Execute -> Reflect -> Plan Next - Update update_plan() to generate only ONE next step dynamically - Add reflection_history tracking to prevent repeating mistakes - Include comprehensive documentation in REFLEXION_CHANGES.md Benefits: - Adaptive planning based on actual execution results - Self-correction capability when steps fail - No wasted planning on future steps that may become invalid - Ground truth-based decision making - Memory of past mistakes to avoid repetition The new flow: PLANNING (goal+step1) -> EXECUTING -> REFLECTING (if failed) -> UPDATING (generate next step) -> loop
feat: Implement Reflexion and Dynamic Planning Architecture
This commit upgrades Browser and File tools to handle real-world complexity:
Browser Tool Enhancements:
- Add Vision-Enhanced Navigation with bounding box coordinates
* All interactive elements now include precise bbox (x, y, width, height)
* Enables accurate clicking even when selectors change dynamically
* Foundation for future vision-model integration
- Implement smart_scroll() for infinite scroll pages
* Automatically detects when new content loads
* Stops when reaching end of content
* Configurable max scrolls with statistics
- Add automatic error handling for common issues
* Auto-close cookie banners and consent popups
* Handle modal dialogs automatically
* Retry logic with exponential backoff for timeouts
* Smart handling of DNS errors (no retry for unresolvable)
- New tools: browser_smart_scroll(), browser_navigate_robust()
File Tool Enhancements:
- Add Excel/CSV analysis with pandas integration
* Read .xlsx, .xls, and .csv files
* Generate statistical summaries (mean, count, min, max, std)
* Support natural language queries ("average of column X", "sum Y")
* Preview first 10 rows with data types
- Implement PDF text and table extraction with pdfplumber
* Extract text while preserving document structure
* Extract tables in structured format (rows x columns)
* Page-by-page extraction with optional page range
* Maintains layout and formatting
- New tools: file_analyze_excel(query), file_extract_pdf(extract_tables)
- Created file_processors.py utility module
Sandbox Enhancements:
- Add real CDP health check
* Verifies Chrome DevTools Protocol endpoint responds
* Checks /json/version for actual browser readiness
* Integrated into ensure_sandbox() startup
- Improve large file support with streaming
* Extended timeout (5min) for large files
* Warning logs for files > 100MB
* Better error messages for timeout scenarios
* Prevents memory exhaustion
Dependencies Added:
- pandas>=2.0.0 (Excel/CSV analysis)
- openpyxl>=3.1.0 (Excel file support)
- pdfplumber>=0.10.0 (PDF extraction)
Benefits:
- Handle modern SPAs with dynamic content
- Process business documents (Excel, PDF)
- Robust error recovery for unreliable networks
- Support for large datasets and files
Integration with Reflexion Agent:
- Reduces need for trial-and-error loops
- Enables complex data analysis tasks
- Handles real-world website complexity automatically
- Comprehensive documentation in TOOLS_ENHANCEMENT.md
All changes are backward compatible.
Critical fixes based on qodo and Cursor code review: 1. Fixed column substring matching ambiguity in file_processors.py - Use longest-match algorithm instead of first-match - Prevents 'a' matching 'average' incorrectly - Added explicit error messages for missing columns 2. Implemented TRUE streaming for large file downloads - Replaced response.content with client.stream() - Use aiter_bytes() for chunk-by-chunk processing - Prevents OOM on files >100MB 3. Raise exception on sandbox startup failure (CRITICAL) - Uncommented raise Exception() to fail fast - Prevents silent failures and cascade errors 4. Fixed PDF page range logic - Now accepts partial ranges: (start, None) or (None, end) - More flexible extraction options 5. Removed redundant file_read in file.py - Eliminated unnecessary network call - Improved performance 6. Fixed browser_smart_scroll required parameter inconsistency - Changed required=['direction'] to required=[] - Matches default parameter behavior All changes are backward compatible and improve reliability.

Critical security and robustness fixes based on qodo round 2 review: 1. Memory Exhaustion DoS Protection (HIGH - SECURITY) - Added 500MB file size limit (MAX_FILE_SIZE) - Pre-check via Content-Length header - Runtime enforcement during download - Prevents attacker-controlled large file DoS 2. Robust Content-Length Parsing (HIGH) - Wrapped int() parsing in try-except - Handles ValueError, TypeError gracefully - Logs invalid headers, continues with runtime checks - Prevents download failures from malformed headers 3. Secure Error Messages (MEDIUM - SECURITY) - Removed str(e) from user-facing messages - Internal logging retains full debug info - Generic messages: 'check the file path and try again' - Prevents information disclosure attacks - Applied to file_analyze_excel and file_extract_pdf 4. PDF Page Range Validation (MEDIUM) - Validate start_page >= 0 - Validate end_page >= 0 - Validate start_page < end_page - Clear error messages for invalid ranges - Fail-fast with actionable feedback Impact: - Prevents DoS via memory exhaustion - Prevents download failures from bad headers - Prevents info leakage through error messages - Better input validation and UX Security posture: HARDENED Related: PR #3 Addresses: qodo-code-review round 2 compliance checks
