What changed

Branch-triggered session summaries on a single-filterKey session no longer rebuild a standalone full-session prompt from raw stored events. The cascaded empty key now uses the same trigger context as multi-filter cascade, so the model-visible view and cache-safe parent request decide whether to generate or persist a copy. Token tailoring that only rewrites messages, without dropping history, keeps the cache-safe fork snapshot.

Why

Cache-safe forking is documented to skip the cascaded full-session target in the same summary pass. That skip was only applied when a session contained multiple filter keys. The common single-agent case went through isSingleFilterKey, then SummarizeSession for filterKey="" with a mismatched view, counted uncompressed tool results, and fell back to a standalone dump larger than the parent request. That inverts the fork contract and can exceed the summary model's input window.

Testing

  • go test -count=1 ./session/internal/summary ./internal/flow/llmflow
  • Live smoke go test -count=1 -timeout 3m ./session/internal/summary -run TestLive against Hunyuan hy3-preview and GLM glm-5.0-w4afp8 (OpenAI-compatible endpoints)

Notes for reviewers

No public API change. CreateSessionSummaryWithCascade still persists the copied full-session summary when the branch call generated one; it only avoids a second LLM call that would use a different corpus. Callers that need a true all-branch full-session summary should keep triggering that key separately, as the docs already describe.

Single-filter sessions were re-checking the empty full-session key against
raw stored events, so a below-threshold model-visible view still dumped the
whole session as a standalone summary. Reuse the branch cascade context and
keep the cache-safe fork when token tailoring only rewrites messages.

📝 Walkthrough

English

Overview

  • Updates branch-triggered session summaries for cache-safe forks.
  • Single-filterKey sessions copy the generated branch summary to SummaryFilterKeyAllContents.
  • Multi-filterKey sessions skip the cascaded full-session target. A separate full-session trigger remains required.
  • Prevents standalone full-session prompts from rebuilding input from raw events, including large uncompressed tool results.
  • Preserves summary fork and view snapshots when token tailoring does not drop history messages.

API and compatibility

  • No public Go API changes.
  • CreateSessionSummaryWithCascade keeps its existing persistence behavior for single-filter sessions.
  • Existing callers must trigger an all-branch full-session summary separately when they use multiple filter keys.

Risks

  • A full-session summary may remain absent after a multi-filter branch pass.
  • Token tailoring or cache-safe fork changes could affect summary generation if history messages are incorrectly classified as dropped.
  • Summary persistence depends on the branch request and its model-visible view.

Recommended validation

  • Run targeted Go tests for cascade behavior and token tailoring.
  • Verify that single-filter cache-safe forks produce one LLM request and identical filter-key and all-contents summaries.
  • Verify that bounded summary views do not rebuild prompts from raw events.
  • Run live smoke tests with Hunyuan hy3-preview and GLM glm-5.0-w4afp8.
  • Confirm that a separate full-session trigger works for multi-filter sessions.
中文

变更概述

  • 更新缓存安全分支中的会话摘要触发逻辑。
  • 对单个 filterKey 的会话,将生成的分支摘要复制到 SummaryFilterKeyAllContents
  • 对多个 filterKey 的会话,跳过级联的全会话目标。仍需单独触发全会话摘要。
  • 防止全会话提示词从原始事件重新构建输入,避免未压缩的工具结果超过摘要模型的输入窗口。
  • 当令牌裁剪未删除历史消息时,保留摘要分支和视图快照。

API 与兼容性

  • 没有公共 Go API 变更。
  • CreateSessionSummaryWithCascade 保持单过滤键会话的现有持久化行为。
  • 使用多个过滤键时,调用方必须单独触发全会话摘要。

风险

  • 多过滤键的分支调用完成后,全会话摘要可能仍不存在。
  • 如果错误判断历史消息是否被删除,令牌裁剪或缓存安全分支可能影响摘要生成。
  • 摘要持久化依赖分支请求及其模型可见视图。

建议验证

  • 运行级联行为和令牌裁剪相关的 Go 定向测试。
  • 验证单过滤键缓存安全分支只发起一次 LLM 请求,并写入相同的过滤键摘要和全内容摘要。
  • 验证有界摘要视图不会从原始事件重建提示词。
  • 使用 Hunyuan hy3-preview 和 GLM glm-5.0-w4afp8 运行在线冒烟测试。
  • 确认多过滤键会话可以通过单独触发生成全会话摘要。

Walkthrough

The change refines cache-safe summary cascades for single- and multi-filter sessions, limits summary invalidation to token tailoring that drops history, adds regression tests, and updates English and Chinese documentation.

Changes

Summary correctness

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cascade target context handling
session/internal/summary/summary.go
Cascade targets now use shared context handling that skips the full-session target for branch-triggered cache-safe forks.
Cascade behavior validation
session/internal/summary/summary_test.go, docs/mkdocs/en/session/summary.md, docs/mkdocs/zh/session/summary.md
Tests cover raw-event limits and single-filter summary copying. Documentation describes the different single- and multi-filter behaviors.
Token-tailoring invalidation
internal/flow/llmflow/llmflow.go, internal/flow/llmflow/llmflow_test.go
Summary bindings and forks are invalidated only when token tailoring reduces the message count. Tests cover both non-collapsing and history-dropping records.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e1c97

The PR reuses the branch request for single-filter cascades, avoiding duplicate generation and oversized full-session prompts. Merge readiness still requires owner awareness because the English and Chinese documentation can lead consumers to repeat unnecessary calls, and snapshot cleanup across retries or overlapping operations is not fully established.

235-239: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Both language docs conflate "skip the second LLM call" with "skip the full-session target." For a single-filterKey session, CreateSessionSummaryWithCascade still populates SummaryFilterKeyAllContents in the same pass by copying the branch summary (copySummaryToKey); it only avoids a redundant LLM call. Only a genuinely multi-filterKey session leaves the full-session target unset until a separate trigger. As written, both docs tell readers to "trigger a full-session summary separately" for both cases, which could cause unnecessary duplicate requests for single-filterKey sessions.

  • docs/mkdocs/en/session/summary.md#L235-L239: revise to state that single-filterKey sessions get the full-session summary via copy in the same pass, while multi-filterKey sessions skip it entirely and require a separate trigger.
  • docs/mkdocs/zh/session/summary.md#L219-L220: apply the same clarification in Chinese, keeping the translation in sync with the English fix.

[P2] 不要用消息数量判断历史是否完整

这里仅通过 AfterMessages < BeforeMessages 判断是否丢失历史,但公开支持的 TailoringStrategy 可以在消息数量不变时截断、替换或重排内容。此时 summaryview 和 summaryfork 仍绑定到裁剪前请求,后续 cache-safe 摘要可能总结模型实际未见的内容,并错误推进持久化边界。

建议继续对所有未提供完整 provenance 的变换失效快照;若要保留空 Content 补空格等安全规范化,应为该精确变换提供显式的 history-preserved 信号和回归测试。

Addressed independently in #2563. Unknown same-size transforms still invalidate; only the exact proven one-to-one built-in normalization rebases summaryview and replaces summaryfork with the post-tailoring request.

线上复现报告:Token Tailoring 后 branch 异步摘要缺失,产生不可消费的 full summary

我们在一个使用 branch filterKey、异步 session summary、cache-safe forking 和默认 full-session cascade 的下游 Agent 中稳定复现了本 PR 涉及的问题。测试环境当前基于公开 commit 327581d52b7d(与本 PR head e1c97e90402957 分叉,因此尚未包含本 PR)。

场景与触发条件

同时满足以下条件:

  1. 当前请求使用非空 filterKey="agent_skill",summary lookup 为 prefix
  2. Session 内事件均属于同一 filter key,进入 single_filter cascade,targets 为 branch 和 full-session 两个 key。
  3. 开启 async summary、cache-safe forking 和默认 CascadeFullSessionSummary=true
  4. 主模型 provider 在请求发送前执行 Token Tailoring,并上报 TokenTailoringRecord
  5. Tailoring 可能减少消息数量,也可能只修改消息内容、保持消息数量不变。
  6. 主模型返回后触发 branch 异步摘要。

复现一:Tailoring 删除历史消息

模型窗口为 65,536:

Model request token tailoring applied: max_input_tokens=65536, messages=38->38
Model request token tailoring applied: max_input_tokens=65536, messages=41->5

随后 branch 摘要拒绝使用已经失效的 model-visible view:

Session summary result:
  outcome=unsafe_view
  dispatch=async
  target_kind=branch
  filter_key="agent_skill"
  summary_view_bound=false
  binding_reason=invalidated
  input_source=unbound_view
  updated=false

但 single-filter cascade 随后从 raw session events 独立生成并持久化了 full summary:

Session summary result:
  outcome=success
  dispatch=async
  target_kind=full
  filter_key=""
  input_source=session_events
  updated=true
  persist_result=stored

Session summary cascade result:
  mode=single_filter
  targets=2
  source_materialized=false
  action=independent
  invariant=violation

下一轮 branch 请求无法消费这个摘要:

Session summary injection result:
  outcome=scope_mismatch
  filter_key="agent_skill"
  lookup_strategy=prefix
  lookup_result=none
  stored_summaries=1
  matching_candidates=0
  full_session_summary=true

复现二:窗口调到 204,800,不删除 QA,但仍修改消息内容

调大窗口后没有出现 collapsed history,所有 Tailoring 均为 N->N;一份完整日志中共记录到 46 次 Tailoring,例如:

messages=99->99
messages=117->117
messages=121->121
messages=123->123

这说明没有删除整条 QA,但 provider 确实修改了 message 内容。达到异步阈值时:

Pre-LLM context compaction result:
  outcome=no_update
  request_tokens=169550
  threshold=143360
  context_window=204800
  messages=117->117
  summary_view_bound=true

Model request token tailoring applied:
  max_input_tokens=204800
  messages=117->117

Tailoring 后依然出现相同链路:

branch summary:
  outcome=unsafe_view
  filter_key="agent_skill"
  binding_reason=invalidated
  updated=false

full summary:
  outcome=success
  filter_key=""
  trigger_value=152704
  trigger_threshold=143360
  selected_events=78
  persist_result=stored

cascade:
  source_materialized=false
  action=independent
  invariant=violation

后续两个独立用户请求均未注入摘要:

request 1:
  outcome=scope_mismatch
  stored_summaries=1
  matching_candidates=0
  full_session_summary=true
  history_messages=120

request 2:
  outcome=scope_mismatch
  stored_summaries=1
  matching_candidates=0
  full_session_summary=true
  history_messages=122

作为对照,后续一次同步 request-path summary 成功生成了 filter_key="agent_skill" 后,紧接着即正常注入:

Session summary result:
  outcome=success
  dispatch=request
  target_kind=branch
  filter_key="agent_skill"
  summary_view_bound=true
  persist_result=stored

Session summary injection result:
  outcome=injected
  lookup_result=exact
  matching_candidates=1
  selected_block_present=true

这证明 injection 本身正常,失败点是异步 branch summary 未 materialize,最终只留下了 branch lookup 无法消费的 full summary。

与本 PR 当前实现的关系

本 PR 的 cascade 修改直接命中了第二个问题:single-filter branch pass 不应在 branch source 未生成时,从另一份 raw session corpus 独立生成 full summary。保留 contextForCascadeTarget、禁止额外 standalone full LLM call 的方向是正确的。

但当前 tokenTailoringDroppedHistory 仅通过以下条件决定是否失效 snapshot:

return record.AfterMessages < record.BeforeMessages

这会让 N->N 的任意 Tailoring 保留 Tailoring 前的 summaryviewsummaryfork。消息数量相同只能证明“条数没减少”,不能证明内容、顺序和结构保持不变。公开 TailoringStrategy 仍可在 N->N 时截断、替换、合并或重排内容。当前第二个复现正是生产 provider 的真实 N->N 内容变换,不只是测试中的空 Content 补空格。

因此,当前实现可能修复“不注入摘要”的表象,但会引入更严重的语义风险:摘要模型总结 Tailoring 前内容,主模型实际看到 Tailoring 后内容,随后 summary boundary 仍可能越过模型实际未见的历史。

这与现有 P2 review 的担忧一致。

修复建议

  1. 保留 cascade 修复。 Branch 未 materialize 时,不要 fallback 为独立 full-session LLM call,也不要留下只有 filter_key="" 的孤立摘要。建议将该结果报告为 skippedpartial_success,而不是整体 success + invariant=violation
  2. 不要用消息数量推断 Tailoring 是否安全。 扩展 Tailoring 结果,提供显式 provenance,例如 HistoryPreservation=preserved|dropped|unknown,默认 unknown 必须 invalidate。
  3. 安全变换应 rebase,而不是保留旧 snapshot。 对能够提供一一消息映射的 provider,将 summaryview rebase 到 Tailoring 后实际发送给模型的 messages,并把 summaryfork 更新为 Tailoring 后的真实请求。
  4. 无法提供完整映射时保持保守行为。 包括消息数减少,以及 N->N 但内容/顺序变化来源不明的情况,都应 invalidate branch view/fork。
  5. 补充回归测试:
    • 显式声明 preserved 的一一规范化:branch summary 成功、只调用一次 summary LLM、复制到 full key、下一轮 exact injection。
    • N->N 内容截断但无 provenance:snapshot invalidated,branch 不生成,同时不得独立生成 full orphan。
    • N->M 删除历史:snapshot invalidated,且不得独立生成 full orphan。
    • branch source 未 materialize:断言 Summaries["agent_skill"]Summaries[""] 都不会被错误推进。

建议将本 PR 拆分为“cascade consistency 修复”和“Tailoring provenance/rebase”两部分:前者可以独立成立;后者不应依赖 AfterMessages < BeforeMessages 这一启发式判断。
