🪝 feat: Configurable Tool-Approval Policy via Programmatic Hooks - #14025
Conversation
…off)
Adds a process-wide registry so host code can plug context-aware PreToolUse decision
hooks into the tool-approval policy, composing with the static
`endpoints.agents.toolApproval` config instead of replacing it.
- `registerToolApprovalHook(factory, { matcher? })` — register a factory that builds a
PreToolUse hook per run from a ToolApprovalHookContext (userId, conversationId, tenantId,
appConfig); return undefined to opt the run out. Returns an unregister fn.
- `buildHITLRunWiring(policy, context)` now registers the static-config policy hook as the
baseline, then layers each resolved host hook after it. Decisions fold in the SDK as
deny > ask > allow, so a host hook can only TIGHTEN a configured ask/deny — it can never
silently auto-approve past policy (to loosen, change the static policy). updatedInput /
allowedDecisions follow the SDK's last-writer-wins, so host hooks win over the baseline.
- `createRun` threads the per-run context (user / conversation / tenant / appConfig) into
the wiring; non-HITL and HITL-disabled runs never invoke any factory.
This unlocks dynamic policy the static name-lists can't express — per-args (e.g. ask before
write_file outside a workspace, the SDK's createWorkspacePolicyHook shape), per-agent,
per-user. Inert until tool approval is enabled and the caller is hitlCapable.
Tests: registry register/unregister/opt-out/order (hooks.spec.ts) + wiring composition,
context passthrough, and disabled-path inertness (runtime.spec.ts). Full HITL suite green.
…k modules)
Lets operators declare programmatic tool-approval hooks in config instead of code, so the
registerToolApprovalHook seam is usable without a custom build.
- Config (data-provider): `endpoints.agents.toolApproval.hooks[]`, each entry
`{ module, matcher?, options? }`. `module` is a bare package name or a path (resolved
against the app root); its default export is a builder `(options?) => ToolApprovalHookFactory`.
- Loader (@librechat/api `loadToolApprovalHooks`): imports each module, builds the factory
with the entry's options, and registers it (with its optional tool-name matcher). Reload-
safe (each call first unregisters its previous batch, leaving code-registered hooks alone)
and robust — an unimportable module / non-function export / throwing builder is logged and
skipped, never crashing startup or blocking the other hooks. Importer is injectable for tests.
- Startup (api/server/index.js): loads the configured hooks once after appConfig resolves.
SECURITY: modules are dynamically imported + executed in-process; this is admin-level config,
documented as trusted-code-only.
Tests: 9 loader cases (default/no-default export, options passthrough, bad-export skip,
builder-returns-non-function skip, import-failure resilience, continue-past-bad-entry,
reload de-dup). Full HITL suite green (80).

Unwrap CommonJS default exports before rejecting hooks
When a configured hook module is CommonJS output from TypeScript/Babel (exports.default = builder), Node's dynamic import() returns a namespace whose default is the whole exports object, so this branch selects an object and the loader logs/skips it as non-function. That makes documented "default export" hook modules fail to load unless authors use native ESM or module.exports = ...; unwrap a nested default function before rejecting the module.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Fixed in d8ff18e. The loader now unwraps a nested default before rejecting — TS/Babel exports.default = fn (esModuleInterop CJS) surfaces through import() as { default: { default: fn } }, so if mod.default is an object whose own .default is a function, it unwraps one more level. module.exports = fn and native export default fn still work. Test added.

Validate hook matcher regexes before registering
If an admin mistypes matcher as an invalid regex such as [, this loader still registers it; the SDK matcher path is documented here as using new RegExp, so the first HITL-capable run that builds the registry can throw out of buildHITLRunWiring instead of skipping only the bad hook. Validate/compile the matcher while loading and log+skip invalid patterns, matching the loader's "bad entry is skipped" behavior.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Fixed in d8ff18e. The matcher is now compiled with new RegExp at load time (before import); an invalid pattern is logged and the entry skipped, exactly like any other bad entry — so a mistyped matcher can no longer throw out of buildHITLRunWiring and break every HITL run. Tests cover the skip + that a sibling valid hook still loads.

Honor the disabled kill switch before loading hooks
When toolApproval.enabled is set to false but the hooks array is still present, this still imports each module and runs its builder during startup. That violates the documented disabled state/no-op guarantee and means an admin cannot safely disable a problematic hook by flipping the endpoint kill switch; only pass hooks to the loader when tool approval is actually enabled.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Fixed in d8ff18e. Startup now passes hooks to the loader ONLY when toolApproval.enabled is true; when disabled it passes undefined, so nothing is imported/run — and any previously loaded batch is unregistered (the loader drops its prior batch on every call). The enabled kill switch is now a true no-op for hooks.

Resolve app-root paths without requiring a leading dot
A config value like module: config/hooks/workspace.js is a relative app-root path per the new schema docs, but this check treats it as a bare package specifier because it does not start with . or /, so import looks for a package named config and the hook never registers. Either require/document ./ explicitly or recognize relative file paths that are meant to resolve under basePath.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Fixed in d8ff18e. resolveModuleSpecifier now treats a bare specifier that resolves to a real FILE under basePath (e.g. config/hooks/workspace.js) as a path → file:// URL; scoped (@scope/pkg) and other non-existent-file names still import as packages. ./-relative and absolute paths unchanged. The schema doc keeps the "relative to app root" wording, now backed by the fallback. Tests cover app-root-file / bare-package / ./relative.

Load hooks from admin config overrides too
This startup call only reads hooks from the base YAML config, while createRun later resolves toolApproval from the request's merged app config, which can include role/user/tenant admin overrides. In deployments that set endpoints.agents.toolApproval.hooks through those overrides, the static enabled/mode/ask policy is honored but the hook modules are never imported or registered, so the dynamic checks silently do not run; either make this field base-only or load/reload hooks from the effective admin config path.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Addressed in d8ff18e by making the contract explicit rather than silently partial: hooks are base-config only — they import + register ONCE, process-wide, at startup, and are not reloaded from per-role/user/tenant overrides. This matches the process-wide registration model; per-user/tenant differences are meant to live INSIDE the hook (it receives userId/conversationId/tenantId in its context), not in per-override module lists. Documented on the hooks schema field and at both startup call sites.

Register hooks in the clustered startup path too
This only wires hook loading into the normal server startup; the parallel clustered startup in api/server/experimental.js performs the same appConfig initialization and startup checks but never imports or calls loadToolApprovalHooks. When LibreChat is launched through that server mode, toolApproval.hooks is accepted by config but no programmatic approval hook is registered, so only the static policy runs.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Fixed in d8ff18e. Added the same loadToolApprovalHooks call (with the enabled gate) to the clustered startup in api/server/experimental.js, right after its getAppConfig/initializeFileStorage init — so toolApproval.hooks is honored in that server mode too, not just the standard startup.
Six P2 findings on the hook loader / startup wiring:
- CJS/transpiled interop: unwrap a nested `default` (TS/Babel `exports.default = fn`
surfaces through import() as `{ default: { default: fn } }`) before rejecting a module,
so documented default-export hook modules actually load.
- Validate the matcher regex at load time and skip invalid ones — the SDK compiles it with
`new RegExp` at run-build time, where a bad pattern would throw out of buildHITLRunWiring
and break EVERY HITL run instead of just skipping the one bad hook.
- Honor the `enabled` kill switch: startup now passes hooks to the loader only when
toolApproval is enabled, so a disabled endpoint imports/runs nothing (and unregisters any
prior batch).
- Resolve app-root-relative paths without a leading dot: a bare specifier that is a real
file under basePath (e.g. `config/hooks/workspace.js`) resolves as a path; scoped/other
bare names still import as packages.
- Base-config-only: documented that hooks register once process-wide at startup and are NOT
reloaded from per-role/user/tenant overrides — encode per-tenant logic inside the hook.
- Wire the loader into the clustered startup path (api/server/experimental.js) too, not
just the standard server.
Tests: CJS-interop unwrap, invalid-matcher skip (+ sibling still loads), and specifier
resolution (app-root file / bare package / ./relative). Full HITL suite green.

Pull request overview
Adds a configurable, programmatic extension point for agent tool-approval (HITL) by introducing a per-run hook registry/factory seam and a config-driven loader that imports and registers hook modules at server startup (only when endpoints.agents.toolApproval.enabled is on).
Changes:
- Added a process-wide registry for tool-approval hook factories, with per-run context threading (
userId,conversationId,tenantId,appConfig) into each factory. - Updated HITL run wiring to layer host-registered
PreToolUsehooks after the static allow/deny/ask policy hook. - Added a startup loader for hook modules configured in
endpoints.agents.toolApproval.hooks[], plus schema support in the data-provider config.

Load clustered hooks from the base config
In the clustered experimental.js startup path, the hook loader reads toolApproval from appConfig fetched with getAppConfig() rather than the { baseOnly: true } config used by api/server/index.js. With no principal, getAppConfig() still merges DB __base__ overrides, so a DB override can enable, disable, or replace toolApproval.hooks and cause those modules to be imported in every worker despite the base-config-only contract; it also makes clustered startup behave differently from the standard server. Use a base-only config for the hook loader before reading toolApproval.hooks.

Fixed in f967bdb. The clustered experimental.js path now reads getAppConfig({ baseOnly: true }) specifically for the hook loader (its general appConfig stays merged for everything else) — so DB __base__ overrides can no longer enable/disable/replace toolApproval.hooks in every worker, and it matches api/server/index.js, honoring the documented base-config-only contract.

CRITICAL — the tool never paused on the real agents endpoint: production loads tools definitions-only, flipping the SDK ToolNode to event-driven dispatch, and the host ON_TOOL_EXECUTE handler runs outside the Pregel task frame (under runOutsideTracing), where interrupt() throws and becomes an error ToolMessage. Reworked: the ask tool never rides toolDefinitions/ toolRegistry — on HITL-capable top-level agents a real instance is supplied via AgentInputs.graphTools (agents#289, requires @librechat/agents > 3.2.57), the SDK's in-graph direct-tool seam; new production-shape e2e pins the event-driven mode end to end. 2. CRITICAL — ask-only runs left orphaned interrupted checkpoints (silent context duplication on every later turn): both orphan prunes were gated on toolApproval.enabled. The pre-turn prune now also fires for ask-capable agents (exported agentRequestsAskUserQuestion), and the abort-route prune fires when the aborted job carries a pendingAction. 3. MAJOR — self-spawned subagents bypassed the strip (self config resolves from the parent's _sourceInputs): fixed SDK-side (buildChildInputs clears graphTools) and the tool is now never present on child surfaces host-side. 4. MINOR — the manifest entry leaked into the Assistants tools dialog and the legacy plugins endpoint, where tools execute with no run to pause: new agentsOnly manifest flag, scoped out of both listings. 5. MINOR — filteredTools/includedTools only hid the tool from the dialog: now enforced at run build (strip + no checkpointer), making the admin filter a real kill switch for already-saved agents. * chore: update @librechat/agents dependency to version 3.2.58 in package-lock.json and package.json files * fix: reject agents-only tools at assistant create/update (Codex round 1) The tools-dialog scoping keeps ask_user_question out of the assistants LISTING, but the v1/v2 create/update handlers resolve arbitrary posted tool strings from the shared getCachedTools map — a REST client or stale saved payload could still attach it, and the assistants runtime executes tools with no run to pause, so every call would error. New isAgentsOnlyTool(tool) (manifest-driven, handles string and function-object shapes) drops such tools with a warn at all four resolution sites (v1+v2, create+update). * fix: offset resumed-run content indices past the pre-pause seed A resumed run rebuilds the graph from the checkpoint, and the fresh graph numbers content indices from its own empty contentData — starting at 0. The resume path seeds the (also fresh) content aggregator with the pre-pause parts at exactly those indices, so the resumed model turn collided with the seed: type-matching parts silently MERGED (post-resume text appended into a pre-pause text block), and type-mismatching parts (a reasoning/think part at index 0 — any Anthropic reasoning agent) dropped EVERY delta with 'Content type mismatch', losing the entire post-resume output from the live stream and the saved message. Latent since #13942 — tool-approval resumes corrupt content the same way (probe-verified); it surfaced now because ask_user_question makes pausing a first-class flow and reasoning models make the loss total. - createContentIndexOffsetHandlers(handlers, offset): wraps ON_RUN_STEP (the single point where a content index enters the pipeline — deltas resolve through the aggregator's stepMap) and ON_AGENT_UPDATE's inline index; every other handler passes through by reference. Probe-validated: resumed output now lands as a new part after the paused tool call. - resumeCompletion wires it with offset = seedContent.length. - logToolError: a GraphInterrupt unwinding out of a tool body is the HITL pause working as designed — no longer logged as a Tool Error. * fix: unblock live streaming of the resumed segment after an answer With resume indices now ABSOLUTE (server continues after the pre-pause parts), the synthetic ask-user-question card was squatting on exactly the index the resumed segment streams into: applyAskUserQuestion appends the card at the end of the message content, so on the answering device every incoming part at that index was blocked and nothing rendered between the answer submission and the finalize replacing the message. removeAskUserQuestionPart(message, actionId) strips the pause-scoped card on successful answer submission (useResumeSubmit onSuccess) — the durable record of the Q&A is the ask_user_question tool call itself. Pure helper + specs; same-reference no-op when nothing matches. * fix: displace the synthetic question card in the streaming content writer The store-level strip on answer submit wasn't enough: the SSE step handler keeps its own in-flight copy of the streaming message, so on the answering device the synthetic ask-user-question card still occupied the ABSOLUTE index the resumed segment streams into — every delta warned 'Content type mismatch' (existing ask_user_question vs incoming text) and nothing rendered between the pending_action and finalize. Displace the card inside updateContent when any real part claims its slot — the same displacement pattern as the OAuth prompt part directly above it. Covers the streaming handler's own copy, reconnecting tabs, and other devices; once real content streams, the pause is over by definition. Spec drives a runStep + text delta into the card's index and pins: no mismatch warn, card gone, text rendered. * feat: dedicated UI + durable data for completed ask_user_question calls The completed ask call rendered as a generic tool card labeled 'Cancelled' with raw (and empty) JSON args. Two layers fixed: Data: the saved tool_call part had args:'' and no output — streamed arg chunks carry no tool name so the aggregator drops them (normal tools recover via the completion event, which never fires for a tool that interrupts mid-execution and resumes on a rebuilt run with no step id). The resume controller now stamps the paused ask part with the pendingAction's authoritative question as args and the user's answer as output (attachAskUserQuestionAnswer — pure, targets the newest unanswered ask part, so sequential questions each keep their own answer). UI: Part.tsx routes ask_user_question tool calls to AskUserQuestionCall — a compact Q&A record ('Asked a question' header, question, description, 'You answered: <label>' preferring the picked option's label, or 'No answer was given' for an abandoned pause) instead of the generic card. New i18n keys; parseAskUserQuestionArgs degrades to null on malformed model args. * fix: single question UI per pause + immediate answer display Two live-turn issues with the new durable Q&A card: 1. Duplicate question on ask: during a live pause the message carries BOTH the ask tool_call part (now rendered by AskUserQuestionCall, showing a misleading 'No answer was given' while paused) and the synthetic interactive card. The durable card now defers while the turn is live and unanswered (isSubmitting) — the interactive card owns the question UI until it's answered; an abandoned pause still shows its no-answer state once the turn settles. 2. 'No answer was given' after answering: the server stamps the answer onto the part at resume seed, but the client only received that at finalize. No stream emission needed — the client knows the answer it just submitted: resolveAskUserQuestionPart (replacing the plain strip on submit success) removes the synthetic card AND stamps output/progress onto the newest unanswered ask tool_call, seeding args from the synthetic part's question when the streamed args were lost — mirroring the server-side attachAskUserQuestionAnswer, so the Q&A record shows the answer the moment the user submits. * fix: keep the Q&A record visible while the resumed segment streams The optimistic output stamp lives in the message store, but the SSE step handler evolves its own cached copy of the streaming message (created at turn start) — the first resumed event overwrites the store with that copy, wiping the stamp, so the Q&A card blinked out during streaming and only returned at finalize. Render-layer fallback instead of fighting the handler's copy: submitted answers are recorded by ask tool_call id when resolveAskUserQuestionPart stamps the part, and AskUserQuestionCall reads the recorded answer whenever the part's own output is missing — the record survives any message-copy churn until finalize delivers the server-stamped part. * feat: present Ask User as a native builtin in the tools dialog It ships with the app and pauses the run like a first-class feature, so it belongs with the builtins (Run Code, Web Search, Memory, ...) rather than in the third-party plugin list — while its mechanics stay exactly a plugin's: - BuiltinId += 'ask_user_question' (documented exception: a native TOOL, not a capability; selection reads agent.tools, the toggle emits tool-add/remove patches instead of a capability field) - buildCatalog surfaces it as a builtin gated on the same signals as before (tools capability on + the server lists the plugin, i.e. not admin-filtered) and skips it in the plugin loop so it never double-lists - On-theme icon: lucide MessageCircleQuestion in a teal chip via the builtin icon map, matching the other native entries; the bespoke purple SVG and the manifest icon field are gone - i18n'd name/description keys like the other builtins * feat: composer popover for answering questions (mentions-style) Answering moves to the composer, matching the existing mentions/prompts popover pattern: while an ask_user_question pause is live, a popover anchors above the textarea with the question as its header, numbered option rows (hover/click, or ↑/↓ + Enter from the empty composer), and an × to dismiss. The main textarea doubles as the free-form answer — its placeholder flips to 'Something else...' and form submit routes the text to the paused run as the answer instead of starting a new turn. Dismissing (× or Escape) restores normal sends; the inline transcript surfaces stay as before (interactive card while paused, durable Q&A record after) so the question remains visible in history. - findLiveAskUserQuestion (pure, spec'd): newest unanswered synthetic part across the conversation IS the popover signal — applied on on_pending_action, stripped on answer submit, so visibility tracks the pause lifecycle with no extra state - useLiveAskUserQuestion hook shared by the popover and ChatForm; dismissals in a recoil atom so both react - popover only mounts on the primary composer (index 0), mirroring QuoteButton * feat: number-key selection + return glyph in the question popover Pressing 1-9 in the empty composer picks the matching option directly, mirroring the numbered row chips; the highlighted row shows a return-key glyph as the Enter affordance. Same empty-composer guard as the arrow keys — typing a free-form answer is never intercepted. * refactor: first-class composer answer mode (useAskAnswerMode) Replaces the bolted-on integration (inline onSubmit interception + raw capture-phase keydown listeners on the textarea ref) with a single hook that owns the whole answer mode: live-question derivation, dismissal + highlighted option (shared recoil state), option selection, free-form submit routing (submitText returns whether it consumed the submission), and keyboard handling (handleKeyDown returns whether it consumed the key, composed ahead of the textarea's normal handler — no more addEventListener). The popover is now pure rendering off the hook; ChatForm wires placeholder, onKeyDown, and onSubmit through the same instance. Deliberately scoped to the composer rather than useSubmitMessage: starters/prompt-commands keep new-turn semantics (and the existing job-replacement behavior while paused). * fix: Codex round 2 — inline answer input, approval exemption, pause-time args F1 (composer submit unreachable while paused — isSubmitting keeps Stop shown and useTextarea eats Enter): redesigned around it, borrowing Claude Code's AskUserQuestion semantics. The popover now owns free-form input via an inline 'Other' row (numbered last, 'Something else…'), with select-then-confirm rows (click/arrows/digits highlight; Submit ↵, Enter, or double-click fires; Skip dismisses). The composer returns to being a plain composer — no placeholder swap, no submit interception; Stop keeps meaning stop. F2: ask_user_question is exempt from the tool-approval prompt unless the admin explicitly lists it (allow/ask/deny all win) — approving the right to ask a question was a pure double pause; the tool is side-effect-free. F3: the question is stamped onto the paused ask tool_call's args at PAUSE time (attachAskUserQuestionArgs in handleRunInterrupt), so abandoned/expired/ stopped turns persist with the question intact and the record card can render it — previously only the answer-resume path stamped args. * fix: fold model-supplied 'Other' options into the inline free-form row The model can generate its own catch-all option ('Other (type your own)', value 'other'), duplicating the popover's built-in free-form row — two other-ish rows, one pickable as a literal answer. Two layers: - Tool description now tells the model NOT to include catch-all options (the answer UI always offers free-form input on its own) - splitOtherOption (pure, spec'd) folds a catch-all option that arrives anyway out of the choice rows and uses its label as the inline input's placeholder — conservative match (value 'other', or a label reading as a free-form invitation), no false positives on real choices * fix: single question surface + clean free-form-only popover Two live-pause confusions: (1) the inline transcript card and the composer popover both rendered — the card now defers while the popover is up for its action, returning as the fallback surface when the user dismisses the popover (and in contexts without a ChatContext, where the popover can't exist); (2) an options-less question showed a pointless numbered '1 Something else…' row — free-form-only questions now render the inline input alone, with the 'Type your answer…' placeholder (a folded model 'Other' label still wins). * feat: the composer is the free-form answer box (like the main chat input) While a question pause is live, the main chat textarea composes the free-form answer — placeholder swaps to 'Something else…' (or a folded model 'Other' label), Enter with text submits the answer through answer-mode key handling (composed BEFORE useTextarea's submitting-lock, so the lock can't swallow it), and the Stop button swaps to Send (enabled despite isSubmitting) per the select-then-confirm design. The popover slims to the question header, numbered option rows, and Skip/Submit — its inline input is gone since the composer owns free-form now. Dismissing the popover restores normal composer semantics (Stop button, normal sends). * fix: Codex round 3 + real Skip semantics - Skip now ANSWERS instead of hiding UI (danny): it resumes the run with a decline notice ('The user chose not to answer this question.') so the model moves on — a client-side dismiss left the run paused until expiry, a hung turn. × / Escape remain pure dismiss (switch to the inline card surface). - P1 (resumed approval tool indices): resumed tool_calls steps whose tool_call id matches a seeded UNRESOLVED part now rebind to that seeded slot instead of offsetting — the original part resolves in place (output attaches) and no duplicate appears; message steps keep the offset, so the text-loss fix stands. createContentIndexOffsetHandlers now takes the seed array; resolved seeded calls are not rebind targets. - P2 (stale selection across questions): selection state resets when the live actionId changes; the vestigial inline-Other state ('other' selection + text atom) is gone — the composer owns free-form. - P2 (Redis abort path loses the args stamp): the abort route re-stamps the question onto the ask tool_call in the reconstructed abort content, so a Stop-abandoned question persists with its question intact. - P2 (malformed args crash): parseAskUserQuestionArgs normalizes untrusted shapes (options: {} / non-string entries) instead of throwing in render. * feat: free-form hint in the question popover footer Left-aligned in the footer row (opposite Skip/Submit): 'Or type your answer below' — points open-ended answering at the composer, whose placeholder already reads 'Something else…'. * feat: preserve composer drafts across the answer-mode swap The answer phase gets its own draft key (ask-answer:<actionId>), passed as a draftId override into useAutoSave — the key change itself drives the existing save/restore machinery, so the conversation draft (or mid-run PENDING draft) is stashed when a question pause takes the composer and restored once the user answers, skips, or dismisses. Ask keys are exempt from the PENDING migration branch, which would otherwise move-and-delete the stashed draft. A half-typed answer survives reload/navigation while its question stays live. Answer submission (option pick, free-form, skip) resets the composer via a new non-throwing useOptionalChatFormContext, so the swap-back restores into an empty box even outside ChatView-less render contexts (Share/search). * fix: rebind resumed steps for ALL seeded tool call ids The resume controller pre-stamps the user's answer onto the seeded ask_user_question part, so the unresolved-only rebind predicate treated it as settled and shifted the tool's re-run step to a fresh offset slot, leaving a duplicate ask record in streamed/saved content. Tool call ids are provider-minted per call: a resumed step bearing a seeded id can only be the interrupted batch re-executing, so rebinding every seeded id is always correct. * feat: popover UX round 4 — clickable hint, collapse, click-submit, multiSelect - Footer hint is a button that focuses the composer; reads 'Type your answer below' (no 'Or') when the question has no options. - Collapse (chevron) hides the popover WITHOUT closing the pause: answer mode stays live (placeholder, Enter routing, draft key), the chat card renders the question with a ChevronUp affordance to re-expand. x remains dismiss. - Single-select options submit on a single click; the Submit button renders only for multi-select. - multiSelect end-to-end: tool zod schema + JSON definition twin, wire type, client parse, popover check-chips, card toggles, record-card label mapping; answer = option values joined ', '; composer Enter and the multi Submit button both fold free-form text in with the checked values. - Hardening from adversarial review: in-flight status guard on every submit path (no duplicate resumes on double-click), popover locks while submitting, collapsed mode disarms invisible digit/arrow steering, the card shares the hook's checked state while the pause is live, the card folds catch-all 'Other' options, record mapping is all-or-nothing to avoid phantom labels, composer resets only when its text was consumed or the draft machinery will restore the stash. * feat: ask_user_question in model specs and ephemeral agents A librechat.yaml modelSpec can now equip the tool the same way it equips webSearch/executeCode/fileSearch/memory: modelSpecs: list: - name: my-spec askUserQuestion: true loadEphemeralAgent pushes the tool name when the spec flag (or the ephemeralAgent request flag, wired for parity) is set; everything downstream is the existing persisted-agent machinery — createRun's hitlCapable gating, graphTools injection, checkpointer attach, subagent strip, and the admin filteredTools/includedTools kill switch all apply unchanged. * feat: tense-aware Q&A record label (Asking / Asked) Shorten the record card header per feedback: 'Asking' while the question is still unanswered (abandoned/awaiting), 'Asked' once answered — replacing the single 'Asked a question' label. * fix: Codex round 4 — added-agent ask parity + preserve answer on failed resume F1 (added.ts): mirror loadEphemeralAgent's ask_user_question branch in the added-agent loader so a model spec's askUserQuestion flag (or the ephemeral request flag) equips added top-level agents too, matching execute_code / web_search / memory. Two load.spec cases added. F3 (composer): submitAskAnswer now takes an onSuccess callback and useAskAnswerMode defers clearing the selection/composer until the resume is accepted. A failed resume (16k answer-cap 400, expired action, network error) leaves status re-answerable, so wiping the composer up front lost the user's only copy of a free-form answer; now it survives for trim/retry. (F2 — a claimed Tools-capability bypass — was verified NOT reproducible: agentRequestsAskUserQuestion matches only loaded instances/toolDefinitions/ toolRegistry, all capability-filtered; a raw tools string has no .name and never triggers the install. Replied on-thread with the probe evidence.) * fix: Codex round 5 — expired question exits answer mode so its message shows An expired question (e.g. resume returns the stale-action 409) previously left the popover open with locked controls and no explanation, because the chat card — which carries the only 'this action expired' message — was suppressed by the popover-open guard. Treat 'expired' as no longer active: the popover closes, the composer reverts to normal, and the card becomes the sole surface and renders the expired message. 'error' stays active (retryable). * feat: group ask_user_question calls as their own category A homogeneous group of ask_user_question tool calls now reads 'Asked N questions' (present tense 'Asking N questions' while the turn streams) with a question glyph and no raw-name suffix — mirroring the subagent 'Ran N agents' category treatment, instead of 'Used N tools — ask_user_question'. Mixed groups keep 'Used N tools' but humanize the suffix to 'Question' and show a question icon for the ask entries (TOOL_FRIENDLY_NAME_KEYS + ToolIcon map). A group only forms at count >= 2, so the plural is always grammatical. Three ToolCallGroup.test cases cover homogeneous label/icon/suffix, present tense while streaming, and the mixed-group fallback. * fix: Codex round 6 — composer submit lock + abort stamp before emit F7 (composer status lock): the ask submit status lived on ApprovalContext, a React context mounted only around message content (ContentParts). The PRIMARY answer surface — the composer in ChatForm — renders outside it, so useApprovalContext returned the inert FALLBACK: status was always 'idle', setStatus a no-op. The in-flight double-submit guard (round 4) and the expired-exits-answer-mode fix (round 5) therefore never engaged for the composer. Move ask submit status to a global Recoil atom (useAskSubmitStatus) read/written by the composer, the popover, and the card alike, so a fast double-click/Enter is actually blocked and expired/error surfaces on every surface. Tool-approval status stays on the context (unchanged). F5 (abort stamp before emit): the abort route re-stamped a paused ask_user_question's args AFTER GenerationJobManager.abortJob had already emitted the final SSE from the unstamped content, so a Redis/cross-replica Stop left the live client showing an empty question until reload. abortJob now takes an optional transformAbortContent applied to the persistable content BEFORE the final event is built (and returned), so the live client and the saved message agree. New abort.spec case + updated call assertions. * feat: gate ask_user_question behind its own agent capability Add a first-class AgentCapabilities.ask_user_question (in defaultAgentCapabilities, on by default) so admins can enable/disable questions independently via endpoints.agents.capabilities, exactly like execute_code / web_search — not lumped under the generic tools capability. - ToolService: both filteredTools predicates (definitions-only and instance loaders) gate ask_user_question on checkCapability(ask_user_question) before the generic tools fallthrough. When off, the tool is dropped from toolDefinitions/toolRegistry, so run.ts's agentRequestsAskUserQuestion (which keys on the loaded surface) declines to install it and attach a checkpointer — the capability is enforced end-to-end at the loader, no run.ts change needed. - Tools dialog catalog: surface the ask builtin under its own capability rather than the generic tools one, so the UI matches the backend gate. - Tests: ToolService capability on/off filtering + defaults membership; catalog builtin visibility keyed on the dedicated capability. * style: sort imports in ToolCallGroup.test (CI import-order gate) * fix: Codex round 7 — surface ask-answer errors in the open popover A failed answer submission (16k reject, network error) sets the ask status to 'error', which — unlike 'expired' — deliberately keeps the question active and retryable. But the chat card that renders the error message is suppressed while the popover is open, so a composer/popover answer failed silently. Expose an 'errored' flag from useAskAnswerMode and render a warning line (com_ui_ask_answer_error) in the popover, so the user gets feedback and retry guidance without having to collapse/dismiss. It clears automatically on retry (status flips to 'submitting'). * fix: Codex round 8 — respect IME composition before submitting answers handleComposerKeyDown runs before useTextarea's composition guard, so with a CJK/IME keyboard the Enter that commits an in-progress composition was being intercepted and submitting the partial answer (and the composition buffer can leave value empty mid-compose, mis-triggering digit/arrow steering too). Bail at the top when composing — nativeEvent.isComposing, or key==='Process' / keyCode===229 for Safari's inconsistent reporting — mirroring the existing composer guard so the character commits normally. * chore: update `@librechat/agents` to v3.2.60 * 🔧 chore: Update @opentelemetry/core to version 2.9.0 and clean up package-lock.json * feat: digit shortcuts select options when the popover has focus Previously a number key (1..N) only selected an option from the empty composer (handleComposerKeyDown on the textarea) — if focus moved into the popover (a row/Skip/Submit button clicked or tabbed to), the number keys went dead. Add handlePopoverKeyDown, wired to the popover container's onKeyDown so it catches digits bubbling from the focused control: a digit activates its option exactly like a click (single-select submits, multi toggles). No highlight/Enter dance on this path — the options are buttons whose action is the click, and intercepting Enter would fight the focused button. Gated on active && !locked so it no-ops while a submit is in flight. * chore: update @librechat/agents to version 3.2.61 and @opentelemetry packages to latest versions
…reChat-AI#14025) * 🪝 feat: Programmatic tool-approval hook seam (configurable beyond on/off) Adds a process-wide registry so host code can plug context-aware PreToolUse decision hooks into the tool-approval policy, composing with the static `endpoints.agents.toolApproval` config instead of replacing it. - `registerToolApprovalHook(factory, { matcher? })` — register a factory that builds a PreToolUse hook per run from a ToolApprovalHookContext (userId, conversationId, tenantId, appConfig); return undefined to opt the run out. Returns an unregister fn. - `buildHITLRunWiring(policy, context)` now registers the static-config policy hook as the baseline, then layers each resolved host hook after it. Decisions fold in the SDK as deny > ask > allow, so a host hook can only TIGHTEN a configured ask/deny — it can never silently auto-approve past policy (to loosen, change the static policy). updatedInput / allowedDecisions follow the SDK's last-writer-wins, so host hooks win over the baseline. - `createRun` threads the per-run context (user / conversation / tenant / appConfig) into the wiring; non-HITL and HITL-disabled runs never invoke any factory. This unlocks dynamic policy the static name-lists can't express — per-args (e.g. ask before write_file outside a workspace, the SDK's createWorkspacePolicyHook shape), per-agent, per-user. Inert until tool approval is enabled and the caller is hitlCapable. Tests: registry register/unregister/opt-out/order (hooks.spec.ts) + wiring composition, context passthrough, and disabled-path inertness (runtime.spec.ts). Full HITL suite green. * 🪝 feat: Config-driven tool-approval hook loader (librechat.yaml → hook modules) Lets operators declare programmatic tool-approval hooks in config instead of code, so the registerToolApprovalHook seam is usable without a custom build. - Config (data-provider): `endpoints.agents.toolApproval.hooks[]`, each entry `{ module, matcher?, options? }`. `module` is a bare package name or a path (resolved against the app root); its default export is a builder `(options?) => ToolApprovalHookFactory`. - Loader (@librechat/api `loadToolApprovalHooks`): imports each module, builds the factory with the entry's options, and registers it (with its optional tool-name matcher). Reload- safe (each call first unregisters its previous batch, leaving code-registered hooks alone) and robust — an unimportable module / non-function export / throwing builder is logged and skipped, never crashing startup or blocking the other hooks. Importer is injectable for tests. - Startup (api/server/index.js): loads the configured hooks once after appConfig resolves. SECURITY: modules are dynamically imported + executed in-process; this is admin-level config, documented as trusted-code-only. Tests: 9 loader cases (default/no-default export, options passthrough, bad-export skip, builder-returns-non-function skip, import-failure resilience, continue-past-bad-entry, reload de-dup). Full HITL suite green (80). * 💄 style: Sort imports in HITL hook spec files (CI sort-imports:check) * 🛡️ fix: Harden tool-approval hook loader (Codex review) Six P2 findings on the hook loader / startup wiring: - CJS/transpiled interop: unwrap a nested `default` (TS/Babel `exports.default = fn` surfaces through import() as `{ default: { default: fn } }`) before rejecting a module, so documented default-export hook modules actually load. - Validate the matcher regex at load time and skip invalid ones — the SDK compiles it with `new RegExp` at run-build time, where a bad pattern would throw out of buildHITLRunWiring and break EVERY HITL run instead of just skipping the one bad hook. - Honor the `enabled` kill switch: startup now passes hooks to the loader only when toolApproval is enabled, so a disabled endpoint imports/runs nothing (and unregisters any prior batch). - Resolve app-root-relative paths without a leading dot: a bare specifier that is a real file under basePath (e.g. `config/hooks/workspace.js`) resolves as a path; scoped/other bare names still import as packages. - Base-config-only: documented that hooks register once process-wide at startup and are NOT reloaded from per-role/user/tenant overrides — encode per-tenant logic inside the hook. - Wire the loader into the clustered startup path (api/server/experimental.js) too, not just the standard server. Tests: CJS-interop unwrap, invalid-matcher skip (+ sibling still loads), and specifier resolution (app-root file / bare package / ./relative). Full HITL suite green. * 🛡️ fix: Read tool-approval hooks from base config in clustered startup (Codex) The clustered experimental.js path read toolApproval from getAppConfig() (which merges DB __base__ overrides with no principal), so a DB override could enable/disable/replace toolApproval.hooks and import those modules in every worker — violating the base-config-only contract and diverging from the standard server. Fetch getAppConfig({ baseOnly: true }) specifically for the hook loader, matching api/server/index.js.
…use/resume (LibreChat-AI#14139) * feat: ask_user_question tool — agent-initiated questions with durable pause/resume The HITL runtime merged in LibreChat-AI#13942/LibreChat-AI#14024/LibreChat-AI#14025/LibreChat-AI#14123 already ships the full ask_user_question lifecycle (payload-agnostic handleRunInterrupt, resume validation via mapAskUserAnswer, reconnect rehydration, and the client question card) — but nothing ever raised the interrupt. This adds the producer: - packages/api/agents/hitl/askUserQuestionTool.ts: LLM-callable tool whose func calls the SDK askUserQuestion() helper (LangGraph interrupt() from the tool body); zod schema with length caps mirroring AskUserQuestionRequest, plus a JSON-schema twin for the schema-only registry - Registration: agentToolDefinitions, manifest.json (Tools dialog, admin filteredTools/includedTools kill switch), basicToolInstances, handleTools constructor branch - run.ts gating: checkpointer now attaches for hitlCapable runs whose agents carry the ask tool even with the tool-approval policy disabled (the interrupt needs only durability, not humanInTheLoop/hooks); the tool is stripped fail-closed from non-HITL callers (OpenAI-compat/Responses) and subagent child configs; excluded from eager event execution (interrupts must be raised inside the Pregel task frame) - resume.js: 16k length cap on the answer wire field - e2e (real Run + FakeChatModel + LazyMongoSaver + supertest resume): tool-body interrupt pauses durably with NO approval policy, answer round-trips as the ToolMessage content, tool body re-runs once on resume, sequential questions re-pause * fix: adversarial-review findings — in-graph execution, orphan prunes, endpoint scoping, real kill switch Pre-PR multi-agent review confirmed 5 defects in the initial commit; all fixed: 1. CRITICAL — the tool never paused on the real agents endpoint: production loads tools definitions-only, flipping the SDK ToolNode to event-driven dispatch, and the host ON_TOOL_EXECUTE handler runs outside the Pregel task frame (under runOutsideTracing), where interrupt() throws and becomes an error ToolMessage. Reworked: the ask tool never rides toolDefinitions/ toolRegistry — on HITL-capable top-level agents a real instance is supplied via AgentInputs.graphTools (agents#289, requires @librechat/agents > 3.2.57), the SDK's in-graph direct-tool seam; new production-shape e2e pins the event-driven mode end to end. 2. CRITICAL — ask-only runs left orphaned interrupted checkpoints (silent context duplication on every later turn): both orphan prunes were gated on toolApproval.enabled. The pre-turn prune now also fires for ask-capable agents (exported agentRequestsAskUserQuestion), and the abort-route prune fires when the aborted job carries a pendingAction. 3. MAJOR — self-spawned subagents bypassed the strip (self config resolves from the parent's _sourceInputs): fixed SDK-side (buildChildInputs clears graphTools) and the tool is now never present on child surfaces host-side. 4. MINOR — the manifest entry leaked into the Assistants tools dialog and the legacy plugins endpoint, where tools execute with no run to pause: new agentsOnly manifest flag, scoped out of both listings. 5. MINOR — filteredTools/includedTools only hid the tool from the dialog: now enforced at run build (strip + no checkpointer), making the admin filter a real kill switch for already-saved agents. * chore: update @librechat/agents dependency to version 3.2.58 in package-lock.json and package.json files * fix: reject agents-only tools at assistant create/update (Codex round 1) The tools-dialog scoping keeps ask_user_question out of the assistants LISTING, but the v1/v2 create/update handlers resolve arbitrary posted tool strings from the shared getCachedTools map — a REST client or stale saved payload could still attach it, and the assistants runtime executes tools with no run to pause, so every call would error. New isAgentsOnlyTool(tool) (manifest-driven, handles string and function-object shapes) drops such tools with a warn at all four resolution sites (v1+v2, create+update). * fix: offset resumed-run content indices past the pre-pause seed A resumed run rebuilds the graph from the checkpoint, and the fresh graph numbers content indices from its own empty contentData — starting at 0. The resume path seeds the (also fresh) content aggregator with the pre-pause parts at exactly those indices, so the resumed model turn collided with the seed: type-matching parts silently MERGED (post-resume text appended into a pre-pause text block), and type-mismatching parts (a reasoning/think part at index 0 — any Anthropic reasoning agent) dropped EVERY delta with 'Content type mismatch', losing the entire post-resume output from the live stream and the saved message. Latent since LibreChat-AI#13942 — tool-approval resumes corrupt content the same way (probe-verified); it surfaced now because ask_user_question makes pausing a first-class flow and reasoning models make the loss total. - createContentIndexOffsetHandlers(handlers, offset): wraps ON_RUN_STEP (the single point where a content index enters the pipeline — deltas resolve through the aggregator's stepMap) and ON_AGENT_UPDATE's inline index; every other handler passes through by reference. Probe-validated: resumed output now lands as a new part after the paused tool call. - resumeCompletion wires it with offset = seedContent.length. - logToolError: a GraphInterrupt unwinding out of a tool body is the HITL pause working as designed — no longer logged as a Tool Error. * fix: unblock live streaming of the resumed segment after an answer With resume indices now ABSOLUTE (server continues after the pre-pause parts), the synthetic ask-user-question card was squatting on exactly the index the resumed segment streams into: applyAskUserQuestion appends the card at the end of the message content, so on the answering device every incoming part at that index was blocked and nothing rendered between the answer submission and the finalize replacing the message. removeAskUserQuestionPart(message, actionId) strips the pause-scoped card on successful answer submission (useResumeSubmit onSuccess) — the durable record of the Q&A is the ask_user_question tool call itself. Pure helper + specs; same-reference no-op when nothing matches. * fix: displace the synthetic question card in the streaming content writer The store-level strip on answer submit wasn't enough: the SSE step handler keeps its own in-flight copy of the streaming message, so on the answering device the synthetic ask-user-question card still occupied the ABSOLUTE index the resumed segment streams into — every delta warned 'Content type mismatch' (existing ask_user_question vs incoming text) and nothing rendered between the pending_action and finalize. Displace the card inside updateContent when any real part claims its slot — the same displacement pattern as the OAuth prompt part directly above it. Covers the streaming handler's own copy, reconnecting tabs, and other devices; once real content streams, the pause is over by definition. Spec drives a runStep + text delta into the card's index and pins: no mismatch warn, card gone, text rendered. * feat: dedicated UI + durable data for completed ask_user_question calls The completed ask call rendered as a generic tool card labeled 'Cancelled' with raw (and empty) JSON args. Two layers fixed: Data: the saved tool_call part had args:'' and no output — streamed arg chunks carry no tool name so the aggregator drops them (normal tools recover via the completion event, which never fires for a tool that interrupts mid-execution and resumes on a rebuilt run with no step id). The resume controller now stamps the paused ask part with the pendingAction's authoritative question as args and the user's answer as output (attachAskUserQuestionAnswer — pure, targets the newest unanswered ask part, so sequential questions each keep their own answer). UI: Part.tsx routes ask_user_question tool calls to AskUserQuestionCall — a compact Q&A record ('Asked a question' header, question, description, 'You answered: <label>' preferring the picked option's label, or 'No answer was given' for an abandoned pause) instead of the generic card. New i18n keys; parseAskUserQuestionArgs degrades to null on malformed model args. * fix: single question UI per pause + immediate answer display Two live-turn issues with the new durable Q&A card: 1. Duplicate question on ask: during a live pause the message carries BOTH the ask tool_call part (now rendered by AskUserQuestionCall, showing a misleading 'No answer was given' while paused) and the synthetic interactive card. The durable card now defers while the turn is live and unanswered (isSubmitting) — the interactive card owns the question UI until it's answered; an abandoned pause still shows its no-answer state once the turn settles. 2. 'No answer was given' after answering: the server stamps the answer onto the part at resume seed, but the client only received that at finalize. No stream emission needed — the client knows the answer it just submitted: resolveAskUserQuestionPart (replacing the plain strip on submit success) removes the synthetic card AND stamps output/progress onto the newest unanswered ask tool_call, seeding args from the synthetic part's question when the streamed args were lost — mirroring the server-side attachAskUserQuestionAnswer, so the Q&A record shows the answer the moment the user submits. * fix: keep the Q&A record visible while the resumed segment streams The optimistic output stamp lives in the message store, but the SSE step handler evolves its own cached copy of the streaming message (created at turn start) — the first resumed event overwrites the store with that copy, wiping the stamp, so the Q&A card blinked out during streaming and only returned at finalize. Render-layer fallback instead of fighting the handler's copy: submitted answers are recorded by ask tool_call id when resolveAskUserQuestionPart stamps the part, and AskUserQuestionCall reads the recorded answer whenever the part's own output is missing — the record survives any message-copy churn until finalize delivers the server-stamped part. * feat: present Ask User as a native builtin in the tools dialog It ships with the app and pauses the run like a first-class feature, so it belongs with the builtins (Run Code, Web Search, Memory, ...) rather than in the third-party plugin list — while its mechanics stay exactly a plugin's: - BuiltinId += 'ask_user_question' (documented exception: a native TOOL, not a capability; selection reads agent.tools, the toggle emits tool-add/remove patches instead of a capability field) - buildCatalog surfaces it as a builtin gated on the same signals as before (tools capability on + the server lists the plugin, i.e. not admin-filtered) and skips it in the plugin loop so it never double-lists - On-theme icon: lucide MessageCircleQuestion in a teal chip via the builtin icon map, matching the other native entries; the bespoke purple SVG and the manifest icon field are gone - i18n'd name/description keys like the other builtins * feat: composer popover for answering questions (mentions-style) Answering moves to the composer, matching the existing mentions/prompts popover pattern: while an ask_user_question pause is live, a popover anchors above the textarea with the question as its header, numbered option rows (hover/click, or ↑/↓ + Enter from the empty composer), and an × to dismiss. The main textarea doubles as the free-form answer — its placeholder flips to 'Something else...' and form submit routes the text to the paused run as the answer instead of starting a new turn. Dismissing (× or Escape) restores normal sends; the inline transcript surfaces stay as before (interactive card while paused, durable Q&A record after) so the question remains visible in history. - findLiveAskUserQuestion (pure, spec'd): newest unanswered synthetic part across the conversation IS the popover signal — applied on on_pending_action, stripped on answer submit, so visibility tracks the pause lifecycle with no extra state - useLiveAskUserQuestion hook shared by the popover and ChatForm; dismissals in a recoil atom so both react - popover only mounts on the primary composer (index 0), mirroring QuoteButton * feat: number-key selection + return glyph in the question popover Pressing 1-9 in the empty composer picks the matching option directly, mirroring the numbered row chips; the highlighted row shows a return-key glyph as the Enter affordance. Same empty-composer guard as the arrow keys — typing a free-form answer is never intercepted. * refactor: first-class composer answer mode (useAskAnswerMode) Replaces the bolted-on integration (inline onSubmit interception + raw capture-phase keydown listeners on the textarea ref) with a single hook that owns the whole answer mode: live-question derivation, dismissal + highlighted option (shared recoil state), option selection, free-form submit routing (submitText returns whether it consumed the submission), and keyboard handling (handleKeyDown returns whether it consumed the key, composed ahead of the textarea's normal handler — no more addEventListener). The popover is now pure rendering off the hook; ChatForm wires placeholder, onKeyDown, and onSubmit through the same instance. Deliberately scoped to the composer rather than useSubmitMessage: starters/prompt-commands keep new-turn semantics (and the existing job-replacement behavior while paused). * fix: Codex round 2 — inline answer input, approval exemption, pause-time args F1 (composer submit unreachable while paused — isSubmitting keeps Stop shown and useTextarea eats Enter): redesigned around it, borrowing Claude Code's AskUserQuestion semantics. The popover now owns free-form input via an inline 'Other' row (numbered last, 'Something else…'), with select-then-confirm rows (click/arrows/digits highlight; Submit ↵, Enter, or double-click fires; Skip dismisses). The composer returns to being a plain composer — no placeholder swap, no submit interception; Stop keeps meaning stop. F2: ask_user_question is exempt from the tool-approval prompt unless the admin explicitly lists it (allow/ask/deny all win) — approving the right to ask a question was a pure double pause; the tool is side-effect-free. F3: the question is stamped onto the paused ask tool_call's args at PAUSE time (attachAskUserQuestionArgs in handleRunInterrupt), so abandoned/expired/ stopped turns persist with the question intact and the record card can render it — previously only the answer-resume path stamped args. * fix: fold model-supplied 'Other' options into the inline free-form row The model can generate its own catch-all option ('Other (type your own)', value 'other'), duplicating the popover's built-in free-form row — two other-ish rows, one pickable as a literal answer. Two layers: - Tool description now tells the model NOT to include catch-all options (the answer UI always offers free-form input on its own) - splitOtherOption (pure, spec'd) folds a catch-all option that arrives anyway out of the choice rows and uses its label as the inline input's placeholder — conservative match (value 'other', or a label reading as a free-form invitation), no false positives on real choices * fix: single question surface + clean free-form-only popover Two live-pause confusions: (1) the inline transcript card and the composer popover both rendered — the card now defers while the popover is up for its action, returning as the fallback surface when the user dismisses the popover (and in contexts without a ChatContext, where the popover can't exist); (2) an options-less question showed a pointless numbered '1 Something else…' row — free-form-only questions now render the inline input alone, with the 'Type your answer…' placeholder (a folded model 'Other' label still wins). * feat: the composer is the free-form answer box (like the main chat input) While a question pause is live, the main chat textarea composes the free-form answer — placeholder swaps to 'Something else…' (or a folded model 'Other' label), Enter with text submits the answer through answer-mode key handling (composed BEFORE useTextarea's submitting-lock, so the lock can't swallow it), and the Stop button swaps to Send (enabled despite isSubmitting) per the select-then-confirm design. The popover slims to the question header, numbered option rows, and Skip/Submit — its inline input is gone since the composer owns free-form now. Dismissing the popover restores normal composer semantics (Stop button, normal sends). * fix: Codex round 3 + real Skip semantics - Skip now ANSWERS instead of hiding UI (danny): it resumes the run with a decline notice ('The user chose not to answer this question.') so the model moves on — a client-side dismiss left the run paused until expiry, a hung turn. × / Escape remain pure dismiss (switch to the inline card surface). - P1 (resumed approval tool indices): resumed tool_calls steps whose tool_call id matches a seeded UNRESOLVED part now rebind to that seeded slot instead of offsetting — the original part resolves in place (output attaches) and no duplicate appears; message steps keep the offset, so the text-loss fix stands. createContentIndexOffsetHandlers now takes the seed array; resolved seeded calls are not rebind targets. - P2 (stale selection across questions): selection state resets when the live actionId changes; the vestigial inline-Other state ('other' selection + text atom) is gone — the composer owns free-form. - P2 (Redis abort path loses the args stamp): the abort route re-stamps the question onto the ask tool_call in the reconstructed abort content, so a Stop-abandoned question persists with its question intact. - P2 (malformed args crash): parseAskUserQuestionArgs normalizes untrusted shapes (options: {} / non-string entries) instead of throwing in render. * feat: free-form hint in the question popover footer Left-aligned in the footer row (opposite Skip/Submit): 'Or type your answer below' — points open-ended answering at the composer, whose placeholder already reads 'Something else…'. * feat: preserve composer drafts across the answer-mode swap The answer phase gets its own draft key (ask-answer:<actionId>), passed as a draftId override into useAutoSave — the key change itself drives the existing save/restore machinery, so the conversation draft (or mid-run PENDING draft) is stashed when a question pause takes the composer and restored once the user answers, skips, or dismisses. Ask keys are exempt from the PENDING migration branch, which would otherwise move-and-delete the stashed draft. A half-typed answer survives reload/navigation while its question stays live. Answer submission (option pick, free-form, skip) resets the composer via a new non-throwing useOptionalChatFormContext, so the swap-back restores into an empty box even outside ChatView-less render contexts (Share/search). * fix: rebind resumed steps for ALL seeded tool call ids The resume controller pre-stamps the user's answer onto the seeded ask_user_question part, so the unresolved-only rebind predicate treated it as settled and shifted the tool's re-run step to a fresh offset slot, leaving a duplicate ask record in streamed/saved content. Tool call ids are provider-minted per call: a resumed step bearing a seeded id can only be the interrupted batch re-executing, so rebinding every seeded id is always correct. * feat: popover UX round 4 — clickable hint, collapse, click-submit, multiSelect - Footer hint is a button that focuses the composer; reads 'Type your answer below' (no 'Or') when the question has no options. - Collapse (chevron) hides the popover WITHOUT closing the pause: answer mode stays live (placeholder, Enter routing, draft key), the chat card renders the question with a ChevronUp affordance to re-expand. x remains dismiss. - Single-select options submit on a single click; the Submit button renders only for multi-select. - multiSelect end-to-end: tool zod schema + JSON definition twin, wire type, client parse, popover check-chips, card toggles, record-card label mapping; answer = option values joined ', '; composer Enter and the multi Submit button both fold free-form text in with the checked values. - Hardening from adversarial review: in-flight status guard on every submit path (no duplicate resumes on double-click), popover locks while submitting, collapsed mode disarms invisible digit/arrow steering, the card shares the hook's checked state while the pause is live, the card folds catch-all 'Other' options, record mapping is all-or-nothing to avoid phantom labels, composer resets only when its text was consumed or the draft machinery will restore the stash. * feat: ask_user_question in model specs and ephemeral agents A librechat.yaml modelSpec can now equip the tool the same way it equips webSearch/executeCode/fileSearch/memory: modelSpecs: list: - name: my-spec askUserQuestion: true loadEphemeralAgent pushes the tool name when the spec flag (or the ephemeralAgent request flag, wired for parity) is set; everything downstream is the existing persisted-agent machinery — createRun's hitlCapable gating, graphTools injection, checkpointer attach, subagent strip, and the admin filteredTools/includedTools kill switch all apply unchanged. * feat: tense-aware Q&A record label (Asking / Asked) Shorten the record card header per feedback: 'Asking' while the question is still unanswered (abandoned/awaiting), 'Asked' once answered — replacing the single 'Asked a question' label. * fix: Codex round 4 — added-agent ask parity + preserve answer on failed resume F1 (added.ts): mirror loadEphemeralAgent's ask_user_question branch in the added-agent loader so a model spec's askUserQuestion flag (or the ephemeral request flag) equips added top-level agents too, matching execute_code / web_search / memory. Two load.spec cases added. F3 (composer): submitAskAnswer now takes an onSuccess callback and useAskAnswerMode defers clearing the selection/composer until the resume is accepted. A failed resume (16k answer-cap 400, expired action, network error) leaves status re-answerable, so wiping the composer up front lost the user's only copy of a free-form answer; now it survives for trim/retry. (F2 — a claimed Tools-capability bypass — was verified NOT reproducible: agentRequestsAskUserQuestion matches only loaded instances/toolDefinitions/ toolRegistry, all capability-filtered; a raw tools string has no .name and never triggers the install. Replied on-thread with the probe evidence.) * fix: Codex round 5 — expired question exits answer mode so its message shows An expired question (e.g. resume returns the stale-action 409) previously left the popover open with locked controls and no explanation, because the chat card — which carries the only 'this action expired' message — was suppressed by the popover-open guard. Treat 'expired' as no longer active: the popover closes, the composer reverts to normal, and the card becomes the sole surface and renders the expired message. 'error' stays active (retryable). * feat: group ask_user_question calls as their own category A homogeneous group of ask_user_question tool calls now reads 'Asked N questions' (present tense 'Asking N questions' while the turn streams) with a question glyph and no raw-name suffix — mirroring the subagent 'Ran N agents' category treatment, instead of 'Used N tools — ask_user_question'. Mixed groups keep 'Used N tools' but humanize the suffix to 'Question' and show a question icon for the ask entries (TOOL_FRIENDLY_NAME_KEYS + ToolIcon map). A group only forms at count >= 2, so the plural is always grammatical. Three ToolCallGroup.test cases cover homogeneous label/icon/suffix, present tense while streaming, and the mixed-group fallback. * fix: Codex round 6 — composer submit lock + abort stamp before emit F7 (composer status lock): the ask submit status lived on ApprovalContext, a React context mounted only around message content (ContentParts). The PRIMARY answer surface — the composer in ChatForm — renders outside it, so useApprovalContext returned the inert FALLBACK: status was always 'idle', setStatus a no-op. The in-flight double-submit guard (round 4) and the expired-exits-answer-mode fix (round 5) therefore never engaged for the composer. Move ask submit status to a global Recoil atom (useAskSubmitStatus) read/written by the composer, the popover, and the card alike, so a fast double-click/Enter is actually blocked and expired/error surfaces on every surface. Tool-approval status stays on the context (unchanged). F5 (abort stamp before emit): the abort route re-stamped a paused ask_user_question's args AFTER GenerationJobManager.abortJob had already emitted the final SSE from the unstamped content, so a Redis/cross-replica Stop left the live client showing an empty question until reload. abortJob now takes an optional transformAbortContent applied to the persistable content BEFORE the final event is built (and returned), so the live client and the saved message agree. New abort.spec case + updated call assertions. * feat: gate ask_user_question behind its own agent capability Add a first-class AgentCapabilities.ask_user_question (in defaultAgentCapabilities, on by default) so admins can enable/disable questions independently via endpoints.agents.capabilities, exactly like execute_code / web_search — not lumped under the generic tools capability. - ToolService: both filteredTools predicates (definitions-only and instance loaders) gate ask_user_question on checkCapability(ask_user_question) before the generic tools fallthrough. When off, the tool is dropped from toolDefinitions/toolRegistry, so run.ts's agentRequestsAskUserQuestion (which keys on the loaded surface) declines to install it and attach a checkpointer — the capability is enforced end-to-end at the loader, no run.ts change needed. - Tools dialog catalog: surface the ask builtin under its own capability rather than the generic tools one, so the UI matches the backend gate. - Tests: ToolService capability on/off filtering + defaults membership; catalog builtin visibility keyed on the dedicated capability. * style: sort imports in ToolCallGroup.test (CI import-order gate) * fix: Codex round 7 — surface ask-answer errors in the open popover A failed answer submission (16k reject, network error) sets the ask status to 'error', which — unlike 'expired' — deliberately keeps the question active and retryable. But the chat card that renders the error message is suppressed while the popover is open, so a composer/popover answer failed silently. Expose an 'errored' flag from useAskAnswerMode and render a warning line (com_ui_ask_answer_error) in the popover, so the user gets feedback and retry guidance without having to collapse/dismiss. It clears automatically on retry (status flips to 'submitting'). * fix: Codex round 8 — respect IME composition before submitting answers handleComposerKeyDown runs before useTextarea's composition guard, so with a CJK/IME keyboard the Enter that commits an in-progress composition was being intercepted and submitting the partial answer (and the composition buffer can leave value empty mid-compose, mis-triggering digit/arrow steering too). Bail at the top when composing — nativeEvent.isComposing, or key==='Process' / keyCode===229 for Safari's inconsistent reporting — mirroring the existing composer guard so the character commits normally. * chore: update `@librechat/agents` to v3.2.60 * 🔧 chore: Update @opentelemetry/core to version 2.9.0 and clean up package-lock.json * feat: digit shortcuts select options when the popover has focus Previously a number key (1..N) only selected an option from the empty composer (handleComposerKeyDown on the textarea) — if focus moved into the popover (a row/Skip/Submit button clicked or tabbed to), the number keys went dead. Add handlePopoverKeyDown, wired to the popover container's onKeyDown so it catches digits bubbling from the focused control: a digit activates its option exactly like a click (single-select submits, multi toggles). No highlight/Enter dance on this path — the options are buttons whose action is the click, and intercepting Enter would fight the focused button. Gated on active && !locked so it no-ops while a submit is in flight. * chore: update @librechat/agents to version 3.2.61 and @opentelemetry packages to latest versions
…use/resume (LibreChat-AI#14139) * feat: ask_user_question tool — agent-initiated questions with durable pause/resume The HITL runtime merged in LibreChat-AI#13942/LibreChat-AI#14024/LibreChat-AI#14025/LibreChat-AI#14123 already ships the full ask_user_question lifecycle (payload-agnostic handleRunInterrupt, resume validation via mapAskUserAnswer, reconnect rehydration, and the client question card) — but nothing ever raised the interrupt. This adds the producer: - packages/api/agents/hitl/askUserQuestionTool.ts: LLM-callable tool whose func calls the SDK askUserQuestion() helper (LangGraph interrupt() from the tool body); zod schema with length caps mirroring AskUserQuestionRequest, plus a JSON-schema twin for the schema-only registry - Registration: agentToolDefinitions, manifest.json (Tools dialog, admin filteredTools/includedTools kill switch), basicToolInstances, handleTools constructor branch - run.ts gating: checkpointer now attaches for hitlCapable runs whose agents carry the ask tool even with the tool-approval policy disabled (the interrupt needs only durability, not humanInTheLoop/hooks); the tool is stripped fail-closed from non-HITL callers (OpenAI-compat/Responses) and subagent child configs; excluded from eager event execution (interrupts must be raised inside the Pregel task frame) - resume.js: 16k length cap on the answer wire field - e2e (real Run + FakeChatModel + LazyMongoSaver + supertest resume): tool-body interrupt pauses durably with NO approval policy, answer round-trips as the ToolMessage content, tool body re-runs once on resume, sequential questions re-pause * fix: adversarial-review findings — in-graph execution, orphan prunes, endpoint scoping, real kill switch Pre-PR multi-agent review confirmed 5 defects in the initial commit; all fixed: 1. CRITICAL — the tool never paused on the real agents endpoint: production loads tools definitions-only, flipping the SDK ToolNode to event-driven dispatch, and the host ON_TOOL_EXECUTE handler runs outside the Pregel task frame (under runOutsideTracing), where interrupt() throws and becomes an error ToolMessage. Reworked: the ask tool never rides toolDefinitions/ toolRegistry — on HITL-capable top-level agents a real instance is supplied via AgentInputs.graphTools (agents#289, requires @librechat/agents > 3.2.57), the SDK's in-graph direct-tool seam; new production-shape e2e pins the event-driven mode end to end. 2. CRITICAL — ask-only runs left orphaned interrupted checkpoints (silent context duplication on every later turn): both orphan prunes were gated on toolApproval.enabled. The pre-turn prune now also fires for ask-capable agents (exported agentRequestsAskUserQuestion), and the abort-route prune fires when the aborted job carries a pendingAction. 3. MAJOR — self-spawned subagents bypassed the strip (self config resolves from the parent's _sourceInputs): fixed SDK-side (buildChildInputs clears graphTools) and the tool is now never present on child surfaces host-side. 4. MINOR — the manifest entry leaked into the Assistants tools dialog and the legacy plugins endpoint, where tools execute with no run to pause: new agentsOnly manifest flag, scoped out of both listings. 5. MINOR — filteredTools/includedTools only hid the tool from the dialog: now enforced at run build (strip + no checkpointer), making the admin filter a real kill switch for already-saved agents. * chore: update @librechat/agents dependency to version 3.2.58 in package-lock.json and package.json files * fix: reject agents-only tools at assistant create/update (Codex round 1) The tools-dialog scoping keeps ask_user_question out of the assistants LISTING, but the v1/v2 create/update handlers resolve arbitrary posted tool strings from the shared getCachedTools map — a REST client or stale saved payload could still attach it, and the assistants runtime executes tools with no run to pause, so every call would error. New isAgentsOnlyTool(tool) (manifest-driven, handles string and function-object shapes) drops such tools with a warn at all four resolution sites (v1+v2, create+update). * fix: offset resumed-run content indices past the pre-pause seed A resumed run rebuilds the graph from the checkpoint, and the fresh graph numbers content indices from its own empty contentData — starting at 0. The resume path seeds the (also fresh) content aggregator with the pre-pause parts at exactly those indices, so the resumed model turn collided with the seed: type-matching parts silently MERGED (post-resume text appended into a pre-pause text block), and type-mismatching parts (a reasoning/think part at index 0 — any Anthropic reasoning agent) dropped EVERY delta with 'Content type mismatch', losing the entire post-resume output from the live stream and the saved message. Latent since LibreChat-AI#13942 — tool-approval resumes corrupt content the same way (probe-verified); it surfaced now because ask_user_question makes pausing a first-class flow and reasoning models make the loss total. - createContentIndexOffsetHandlers(handlers, offset): wraps ON_RUN_STEP (the single point where a content index enters the pipeline — deltas resolve through the aggregator's stepMap) and ON_AGENT_UPDATE's inline index; every other handler passes through by reference. Probe-validated: resumed output now lands as a new part after the paused tool call. - resumeCompletion wires it with offset = seedContent.length. - logToolError: a GraphInterrupt unwinding out of a tool body is the HITL pause working as designed — no longer logged as a Tool Error. * fix: unblock live streaming of the resumed segment after an answer With resume indices now ABSOLUTE (server continues after the pre-pause parts), the synthetic ask-user-question card was squatting on exactly the index the resumed segment streams into: applyAskUserQuestion appends the card at the end of the message content, so on the answering device every incoming part at that index was blocked and nothing rendered between the answer submission and the finalize replacing the message. removeAskUserQuestionPart(message, actionId) strips the pause-scoped card on successful answer submission (useResumeSubmit onSuccess) — the durable record of the Q&A is the ask_user_question tool call itself. Pure helper + specs; same-reference no-op when nothing matches. * fix: displace the synthetic question card in the streaming content writer The store-level strip on answer submit wasn't enough: the SSE step handler keeps its own in-flight copy of the streaming message, so on the answering device the synthetic ask-user-question card still occupied the ABSOLUTE index the resumed segment streams into — every delta warned 'Content type mismatch' (existing ask_user_question vs incoming text) and nothing rendered between the pending_action and finalize. Displace the card inside updateContent when any real part claims its slot — the same displacement pattern as the OAuth prompt part directly above it. Covers the streaming handler's own copy, reconnecting tabs, and other devices; once real content streams, the pause is over by definition. Spec drives a runStep + text delta into the card's index and pins: no mismatch warn, card gone, text rendered. * feat: dedicated UI + durable data for completed ask_user_question calls The completed ask call rendered as a generic tool card labeled 'Cancelled' with raw (and empty) JSON args. Two layers fixed: Data: the saved tool_call part had args:'' and no output — streamed arg chunks carry no tool name so the aggregator drops them (normal tools recover via the completion event, which never fires for a tool that interrupts mid-execution and resumes on a rebuilt run with no step id). The resume controller now stamps the paused ask part with the pendingAction's authoritative question as args and the user's answer as output (attachAskUserQuestionAnswer — pure, targets the newest unanswered ask part, so sequential questions each keep their own answer). UI: Part.tsx routes ask_user_question tool calls to AskUserQuestionCall — a compact Q&A record ('Asked a question' header, question, description, 'You answered: <label>' preferring the picked option's label, or 'No answer was given' for an abandoned pause) instead of the generic card. New i18n keys; parseAskUserQuestionArgs degrades to null on malformed model args. * fix: single question UI per pause + immediate answer display Two live-turn issues with the new durable Q&A card: 1. Duplicate question on ask: during a live pause the message carries BOTH the ask tool_call part (now rendered by AskUserQuestionCall, showing a misleading 'No answer was given' while paused) and the synthetic interactive card. The durable card now defers while the turn is live and unanswered (isSubmitting) — the interactive card owns the question UI until it's answered; an abandoned pause still shows its no-answer state once the turn settles. 2. 'No answer was given' after answering: the server stamps the answer onto the part at resume seed, but the client only received that at finalize. No stream emission needed — the client knows the answer it just submitted: resolveAskUserQuestionPart (replacing the plain strip on submit success) removes the synthetic card AND stamps output/progress onto the newest unanswered ask tool_call, seeding args from the synthetic part's question when the streamed args were lost — mirroring the server-side attachAskUserQuestionAnswer, so the Q&A record shows the answer the moment the user submits. * fix: keep the Q&A record visible while the resumed segment streams The optimistic output stamp lives in the message store, but the SSE step handler evolves its own cached copy of the streaming message (created at turn start) — the first resumed event overwrites the store with that copy, wiping the stamp, so the Q&A card blinked out during streaming and only returned at finalize. Render-layer fallback instead of fighting the handler's copy: submitted answers are recorded by ask tool_call id when resolveAskUserQuestionPart stamps the part, and AskUserQuestionCall reads the recorded answer whenever the part's own output is missing — the record survives any message-copy churn until finalize delivers the server-stamped part. * feat: present Ask User as a native builtin in the tools dialog It ships with the app and pauses the run like a first-class feature, so it belongs with the builtins (Run Code, Web Search, Memory, ...) rather than in the third-party plugin list — while its mechanics stay exactly a plugin's: - BuiltinId += 'ask_user_question' (documented exception: a native TOOL, not a capability; selection reads agent.tools, the toggle emits tool-add/remove patches instead of a capability field) - buildCatalog surfaces it as a builtin gated on the same signals as before (tools capability on + the server lists the plugin, i.e. not admin-filtered) and skips it in the plugin loop so it never double-lists - On-theme icon: lucide MessageCircleQuestion in a teal chip via the builtin icon map, matching the other native entries; the bespoke purple SVG and the manifest icon field are gone - i18n'd name/description keys like the other builtins * feat: composer popover for answering questions (mentions-style) Answering moves to the composer, matching the existing mentions/prompts popover pattern: while an ask_user_question pause is live, a popover anchors above the textarea with the question as its header, numbered option rows (hover/click, or ↑/↓ + Enter from the empty composer), and an × to dismiss. The main textarea doubles as the free-form answer — its placeholder flips to 'Something else...' and form submit routes the text to the paused run as the answer instead of starting a new turn. Dismissing (× or Escape) restores normal sends; the inline transcript surfaces stay as before (interactive card while paused, durable Q&A record after) so the question remains visible in history. - findLiveAskUserQuestion (pure, spec'd): newest unanswered synthetic part across the conversation IS the popover signal — applied on on_pending_action, stripped on answer submit, so visibility tracks the pause lifecycle with no extra state - useLiveAskUserQuestion hook shared by the popover and ChatForm; dismissals in a recoil atom so both react - popover only mounts on the primary composer (index 0), mirroring QuoteButton * feat: number-key selection + return glyph in the question popover Pressing 1-9 in the empty composer picks the matching option directly, mirroring the numbered row chips; the highlighted row shows a return-key glyph as the Enter affordance. Same empty-composer guard as the arrow keys — typing a free-form answer is never intercepted. * refactor: first-class composer answer mode (useAskAnswerMode) Replaces the bolted-on integration (inline onSubmit interception + raw capture-phase keydown listeners on the textarea ref) with a single hook that owns the whole answer mode: live-question derivation, dismissal + highlighted option (shared recoil state), option selection, free-form submit routing (submitText returns whether it consumed the submission), and keyboard handling (handleKeyDown returns whether it consumed the key, composed ahead of the textarea's normal handler — no more addEventListener). The popover is now pure rendering off the hook; ChatForm wires placeholder, onKeyDown, and onSubmit through the same instance. Deliberately scoped to the composer rather than useSubmitMessage: starters/prompt-commands keep new-turn semantics (and the existing job-replacement behavior while paused). * fix: Codex round 2 — inline answer input, approval exemption, pause-time args F1 (composer submit unreachable while paused — isSubmitting keeps Stop shown and useTextarea eats Enter): redesigned around it, borrowing Claude Code's AskUserQuestion semantics. The popover now owns free-form input via an inline 'Other' row (numbered last, 'Something else…'), with select-then-confirm rows (click/arrows/digits highlight; Submit ↵, Enter, or double-click fires; Skip dismisses). The composer returns to being a plain composer — no placeholder swap, no submit interception; Stop keeps meaning stop. F2: ask_user_question is exempt from the tool-approval prompt unless the admin explicitly lists it (allow/ask/deny all win) — approving the right to ask a question was a pure double pause; the tool is side-effect-free. F3: the question is stamped onto the paused ask tool_call's args at PAUSE time (attachAskUserQuestionArgs in handleRunInterrupt), so abandoned/expired/ stopped turns persist with the question intact and the record card can render it — previously only the answer-resume path stamped args. * fix: fold model-supplied 'Other' options into the inline free-form row The model can generate its own catch-all option ('Other (type your own)', value 'other'), duplicating the popover's built-in free-form row — two other-ish rows, one pickable as a literal answer. Two layers: - Tool description now tells the model NOT to include catch-all options (the answer UI always offers free-form input on its own) - splitOtherOption (pure, spec'd) folds a catch-all option that arrives anyway out of the choice rows and uses its label as the inline input's placeholder — conservative match (value 'other', or a label reading as a free-form invitation), no false positives on real choices * fix: single question surface + clean free-form-only popover Two live-pause confusions: (1) the inline transcript card and the composer popover both rendered — the card now defers while the popover is up for its action, returning as the fallback surface when the user dismisses the popover (and in contexts without a ChatContext, where the popover can't exist); (2) an options-less question showed a pointless numbered '1 Something else…' row — free-form-only questions now render the inline input alone, with the 'Type your answer…' placeholder (a folded model 'Other' label still wins). * feat: the composer is the free-form answer box (like the main chat input) While a question pause is live, the main chat textarea composes the free-form answer — placeholder swaps to 'Something else…' (or a folded model 'Other' label), Enter with text submits the answer through answer-mode key handling (composed BEFORE useTextarea's submitting-lock, so the lock can't swallow it), and the Stop button swaps to Send (enabled despite isSubmitting) per the select-then-confirm design. The popover slims to the question header, numbered option rows, and Skip/Submit — its inline input is gone since the composer owns free-form now. Dismissing the popover restores normal composer semantics (Stop button, normal sends). * fix: Codex round 3 + real Skip semantics - Skip now ANSWERS instead of hiding UI (danny): it resumes the run with a decline notice ('The user chose not to answer this question.') so the model moves on — a client-side dismiss left the run paused until expiry, a hung turn. × / Escape remain pure dismiss (switch to the inline card surface). - P1 (resumed approval tool indices): resumed tool_calls steps whose tool_call id matches a seeded UNRESOLVED part now rebind to that seeded slot instead of offsetting — the original part resolves in place (output attaches) and no duplicate appears; message steps keep the offset, so the text-loss fix stands. createContentIndexOffsetHandlers now takes the seed array; resolved seeded calls are not rebind targets. - P2 (stale selection across questions): selection state resets when the live actionId changes; the vestigial inline-Other state ('other' selection + text atom) is gone — the composer owns free-form. - P2 (Redis abort path loses the args stamp): the abort route re-stamps the question onto the ask tool_call in the reconstructed abort content, so a Stop-abandoned question persists with its question intact. - P2 (malformed args crash): parseAskUserQuestionArgs normalizes untrusted shapes (options: {} / non-string entries) instead of throwing in render. * feat: free-form hint in the question popover footer Left-aligned in the footer row (opposite Skip/Submit): 'Or type your answer below' — points open-ended answering at the composer, whose placeholder already reads 'Something else…'. * feat: preserve composer drafts across the answer-mode swap The answer phase gets its own draft key (ask-answer:<actionId>), passed as a draftId override into useAutoSave — the key change itself drives the existing save/restore machinery, so the conversation draft (or mid-run PENDING draft) is stashed when a question pause takes the composer and restored once the user answers, skips, or dismisses. Ask keys are exempt from the PENDING migration branch, which would otherwise move-and-delete the stashed draft. A half-typed answer survives reload/navigation while its question stays live. Answer submission (option pick, free-form, skip) resets the composer via a new non-throwing useOptionalChatFormContext, so the swap-back restores into an empty box even outside ChatView-less render contexts (Share/search). * fix: rebind resumed steps for ALL seeded tool call ids The resume controller pre-stamps the user's answer onto the seeded ask_user_question part, so the unresolved-only rebind predicate treated it as settled and shifted the tool's re-run step to a fresh offset slot, leaving a duplicate ask record in streamed/saved content. Tool call ids are provider-minted per call: a resumed step bearing a seeded id can only be the interrupted batch re-executing, so rebinding every seeded id is always correct. * feat: popover UX round 4 — clickable hint, collapse, click-submit, multiSelect - Footer hint is a button that focuses the composer; reads 'Type your answer below' (no 'Or') when the question has no options. - Collapse (chevron) hides the popover WITHOUT closing the pause: answer mode stays live (placeholder, Enter routing, draft key), the chat card renders the question with a ChevronUp affordance to re-expand. x remains dismiss. - Single-select options submit on a single click; the Submit button renders only for multi-select. - multiSelect end-to-end: tool zod schema + JSON definition twin, wire type, client parse, popover check-chips, card toggles, record-card label mapping; answer = option values joined ', '; composer Enter and the multi Submit button both fold free-form text in with the checked values. - Hardening from adversarial review: in-flight status guard on every submit path (no duplicate resumes on double-click), popover locks while submitting, collapsed mode disarms invisible digit/arrow steering, the card shares the hook's checked state while the pause is live, the card folds catch-all 'Other' options, record mapping is all-or-nothing to avoid phantom labels, composer resets only when its text was consumed or the draft machinery will restore the stash. * feat: ask_user_question in model specs and ephemeral agents A librechat.yaml modelSpec can now equip the tool the same way it equips webSearch/executeCode/fileSearch/memory: modelSpecs: list: - name: my-spec askUserQuestion: true loadEphemeralAgent pushes the tool name when the spec flag (or the ephemeralAgent request flag, wired for parity) is set; everything downstream is the existing persisted-agent machinery — createRun's hitlCapable gating, graphTools injection, checkpointer attach, subagent strip, and the admin filteredTools/includedTools kill switch all apply unchanged. * feat: tense-aware Q&A record label (Asking / Asked) Shorten the record card header per feedback: 'Asking' while the question is still unanswered (abandoned/awaiting), 'Asked' once answered — replacing the single 'Asked a question' label. * fix: Codex round 4 — added-agent ask parity + preserve answer on failed resume F1 (added.ts): mirror loadEphemeralAgent's ask_user_question branch in the added-agent loader so a model spec's askUserQuestion flag (or the ephemeral request flag) equips added top-level agents too, matching execute_code / web_search / memory. Two load.spec cases added. F3 (composer): submitAskAnswer now takes an onSuccess callback and useAskAnswerMode defers clearing the selection/composer until the resume is accepted. A failed resume (16k answer-cap 400, expired action, network error) leaves status re-answerable, so wiping the composer up front lost the user's only copy of a free-form answer; now it survives for trim/retry. (F2 — a claimed Tools-capability bypass — was verified NOT reproducible: agentRequestsAskUserQuestion matches only loaded instances/toolDefinitions/ toolRegistry, all capability-filtered; a raw tools string has no .name and never triggers the install. Replied on-thread with the probe evidence.) * fix: Codex round 5 — expired question exits answer mode so its message shows An expired question (e.g. resume returns the stale-action 409) previously left the popover open with locked controls and no explanation, because the chat card — which carries the only 'this action expired' message — was suppressed by the popover-open guard. Treat 'expired' as no longer active: the popover closes, the composer reverts to normal, and the card becomes the sole surface and renders the expired message. 'error' stays active (retryable). * feat: group ask_user_question calls as their own category A homogeneous group of ask_user_question tool calls now reads 'Asked N questions' (present tense 'Asking N questions' while the turn streams) with a question glyph and no raw-name suffix — mirroring the subagent 'Ran N agents' category treatment, instead of 'Used N tools — ask_user_question'. Mixed groups keep 'Used N tools' but humanize the suffix to 'Question' and show a question icon for the ask entries (TOOL_FRIENDLY_NAME_KEYS + ToolIcon map). A group only forms at count >= 2, so the plural is always grammatical. Three ToolCallGroup.test cases cover homogeneous label/icon/suffix, present tense while streaming, and the mixed-group fallback. * fix: Codex round 6 — composer submit lock + abort stamp before emit F7 (composer status lock): the ask submit status lived on ApprovalContext, a React context mounted only around message content (ContentParts). The PRIMARY answer surface — the composer in ChatForm — renders outside it, so useApprovalContext returned the inert FALLBACK: status was always 'idle', setStatus a no-op. The in-flight double-submit guard (round 4) and the expired-exits-answer-mode fix (round 5) therefore never engaged for the composer. Move ask submit status to a global Recoil atom (useAskSubmitStatus) read/written by the composer, the popover, and the card alike, so a fast double-click/Enter is actually blocked and expired/error surfaces on every surface. Tool-approval status stays on the context (unchanged). F5 (abort stamp before emit): the abort route re-stamped a paused ask_user_question's args AFTER GenerationJobManager.abortJob had already emitted the final SSE from the unstamped content, so a Redis/cross-replica Stop left the live client showing an empty question until reload. abortJob now takes an optional transformAbortContent applied to the persistable content BEFORE the final event is built (and returned), so the live client and the saved message agree. New abort.spec case + updated call assertions. * feat: gate ask_user_question behind its own agent capability Add a first-class AgentCapabilities.ask_user_question (in defaultAgentCapabilities, on by default) so admins can enable/disable questions independently via endpoints.agents.capabilities, exactly like execute_code / web_search — not lumped under the generic tools capability. - ToolService: both filteredTools predicates (definitions-only and instance loaders) gate ask_user_question on checkCapability(ask_user_question) before the generic tools fallthrough. When off, the tool is dropped from toolDefinitions/toolRegistry, so run.ts's agentRequestsAskUserQuestion (which keys on the loaded surface) declines to install it and attach a checkpointer — the capability is enforced end-to-end at the loader, no run.ts change needed. - Tools dialog catalog: surface the ask builtin under its own capability rather than the generic tools one, so the UI matches the backend gate. - Tests: ToolService capability on/off filtering + defaults membership; catalog builtin visibility keyed on the dedicated capability. * style: sort imports in ToolCallGroup.test (CI import-order gate) * fix: Codex round 7 — surface ask-answer errors in the open popover A failed answer submission (16k reject, network error) sets the ask status to 'error', which — unlike 'expired' — deliberately keeps the question active and retryable. But the chat card that renders the error message is suppressed while the popover is open, so a composer/popover answer failed silently. Expose an 'errored' flag from useAskAnswerMode and render a warning line (com_ui_ask_answer_error) in the popover, so the user gets feedback and retry guidance without having to collapse/dismiss. It clears automatically on retry (status flips to 'submitting'). * fix: Codex round 8 — respect IME composition before submitting answers handleComposerKeyDown runs before useTextarea's composition guard, so with a CJK/IME keyboard the Enter that commits an in-progress composition was being intercepted and submitting the partial answer (and the composition buffer can leave value empty mid-compose, mis-triggering digit/arrow steering too). Bail at the top when composing — nativeEvent.isComposing, or key==='Process' / keyCode===229 for Safari's inconsistent reporting — mirroring the existing composer guard so the character commits normally. * chore: update `@librechat/agents` to v3.2.60 * 🔧 chore: Update @opentelemetry/core to version 2.9.0 and clean up package-lock.json * feat: digit shortcuts select options when the popover has focus Previously a number key (1..N) only selected an option from the empty composer (handleComposerKeyDown on the textarea) — if focus moved into the popover (a row/Skip/Submit button clicked or tabbed to), the number keys went dead. Add handlePopoverKeyDown, wired to the popover container's onKeyDown so it catches digits bubbling from the focused control: a digit activates its option exactly like a click (single-select submits, multi toggles). No highlight/Enter dance on this path — the options are buttons whose action is the click, and intercepting Enter would fight the focused button. Gated on active && !locked so it no-ops while a submit is in flight. * chore: update @librechat/agents to version 3.2.61 and @opentelemetry packages to latest versions
…reChat-AI#14025) * 🪝 feat: Programmatic tool-approval hook seam (configurable beyond on/off) Adds a process-wide registry so host code can plug context-aware PreToolUse decision hooks into the tool-approval policy, composing with the static `endpoints.agents.toolApproval` config instead of replacing it. - `registerToolApprovalHook(factory, { matcher? })` — register a factory that builds a PreToolUse hook per run from a ToolApprovalHookContext (userId, conversationId, tenantId, appConfig); return undefined to opt the run out. Returns an unregister fn. - `buildHITLRunWiring(policy, context)` now registers the static-config policy hook as the baseline, then layers each resolved host hook after it. Decisions fold in the SDK as deny > ask > allow, so a host hook can only TIGHTEN a configured ask/deny — it can never silently auto-approve past policy (to loosen, change the static policy). updatedInput / allowedDecisions follow the SDK's last-writer-wins, so host hooks win over the baseline. - `createRun` threads the per-run context (user / conversation / tenant / appConfig) into the wiring; non-HITL and HITL-disabled runs never invoke any factory. This unlocks dynamic policy the static name-lists can't express — per-args (e.g. ask before write_file outside a workspace, the SDK's createWorkspacePolicyHook shape), per-agent, per-user. Inert until tool approval is enabled and the caller is hitlCapable. Tests: registry register/unregister/opt-out/order (hooks.spec.ts) + wiring composition, context passthrough, and disabled-path inertness (runtime.spec.ts). Full HITL suite green. * 🪝 feat: Config-driven tool-approval hook loader (librechat.yaml → hook modules) Lets operators declare programmatic tool-approval hooks in config instead of code, so the registerToolApprovalHook seam is usable without a custom build. - Config (data-provider): `endpoints.agents.toolApproval.hooks[]`, each entry `{ module, matcher?, options? }`. `module` is a bare package name or a path (resolved against the app root); its default export is a builder `(options?) => ToolApprovalHookFactory`. - Loader (@librechat/api `loadToolApprovalHooks`): imports each module, builds the factory with the entry's options, and registers it (with its optional tool-name matcher). Reload- safe (each call first unregisters its previous batch, leaving code-registered hooks alone) and robust — an unimportable module / non-function export / throwing builder is logged and skipped, never crashing startup or blocking the other hooks. Importer is injectable for tests. - Startup (api/server/index.js): loads the configured hooks once after appConfig resolves. SECURITY: modules are dynamically imported + executed in-process; this is admin-level config, documented as trusted-code-only. Tests: 9 loader cases (default/no-default export, options passthrough, bad-export skip, builder-returns-non-function skip, import-failure resilience, continue-past-bad-entry, reload de-dup). Full HITL suite green (80). * 💄 style: Sort imports in HITL hook spec files (CI sort-imports:check) * 🛡️ fix: Harden tool-approval hook loader (Codex review) Six P2 findings on the hook loader / startup wiring: - CJS/transpiled interop: unwrap a nested `default` (TS/Babel `exports.default = fn` surfaces through import() as `{ default: { default: fn } }`) before rejecting a module, so documented default-export hook modules actually load. - Validate the matcher regex at load time and skip invalid ones — the SDK compiles it with `new RegExp` at run-build time, where a bad pattern would throw out of buildHITLRunWiring and break EVERY HITL run instead of just skipping the one bad hook. - Honor the `enabled` kill switch: startup now passes hooks to the loader only when toolApproval is enabled, so a disabled endpoint imports/runs nothing (and unregisters any prior batch). - Resolve app-root-relative paths without a leading dot: a bare specifier that is a real file under basePath (e.g. `config/hooks/workspace.js`) resolves as a path; scoped/other bare names still import as packages. - Base-config-only: documented that hooks register once process-wide at startup and are NOT reloaded from per-role/user/tenant overrides — encode per-tenant logic inside the hook. - Wire the loader into the clustered startup path (api/server/experimental.js) too, not just the standard server. Tests: CJS-interop unwrap, invalid-matcher skip (+ sibling still loads), and specifier resolution (app-root file / bare package / ./relative). Full HITL suite green. * 🛡️ fix: Read tool-approval hooks from base config in clustered startup (Codex) The clustered experimental.js path read toolApproval from getAppConfig() (which merges DB __base__ overrides with no principal), so a DB override could enable/disable/replace toolApproval.hooks and import those modules in every worker — violating the base-config-only contract and diverging from the standard server. Fetch getAppConfig({ baseOnly: true }) specifically for the hook loader, matching api/server/index.js.
…use/resume (LibreChat-AI#14139) * feat: ask_user_question tool — agent-initiated questions with durable pause/resume The HITL runtime merged in LibreChat-AI#13942/LibreChat-AI#14024/LibreChat-AI#14025/LibreChat-AI#14123 already ships the full ask_user_question lifecycle (payload-agnostic handleRunInterrupt, resume validation via mapAskUserAnswer, reconnect rehydration, and the client question card) — but nothing ever raised the interrupt. This adds the producer: - packages/api/agents/hitl/askUserQuestionTool.ts: LLM-callable tool whose func calls the SDK askUserQuestion() helper (LangGraph interrupt() from the tool body); zod schema with length caps mirroring AskUserQuestionRequest, plus a JSON-schema twin for the schema-only registry - Registration: agentToolDefinitions, manifest.json (Tools dialog, admin filteredTools/includedTools kill switch), basicToolInstances, handleTools constructor branch - run.ts gating: checkpointer now attaches for hitlCapable runs whose agents carry the ask tool even with the tool-approval policy disabled (the interrupt needs only durability, not humanInTheLoop/hooks); the tool is stripped fail-closed from non-HITL callers (OpenAI-compat/Responses) and subagent child configs; excluded from eager event execution (interrupts must be raised inside the Pregel task frame) - resume.js: 16k length cap on the answer wire field - e2e (real Run + FakeChatModel + LazyMongoSaver + supertest resume): tool-body interrupt pauses durably with NO approval policy, answer round-trips as the ToolMessage content, tool body re-runs once on resume, sequential questions re-pause * fix: adversarial-review findings — in-graph execution, orphan prunes, endpoint scoping, real kill switch Pre-PR multi-agent review confirmed 5 defects in the initial commit; all fixed: 1. CRITICAL — the tool never paused on the real agents endpoint: production loads tools definitions-only, flipping the SDK ToolNode to event-driven dispatch, and the host ON_TOOL_EXECUTE handler runs outside the Pregel task frame (under runOutsideTracing), where interrupt() throws and becomes an error ToolMessage. Reworked: the ask tool never rides toolDefinitions/ toolRegistry — on HITL-capable top-level agents a real instance is supplied via AgentInputs.graphTools (agents#289, requires @librechat/agents > 3.2.57), the SDK's in-graph direct-tool seam; new production-shape e2e pins the event-driven mode end to end. 2. CRITICAL — ask-only runs left orphaned interrupted checkpoints (silent context duplication on every later turn): both orphan prunes were gated on toolApproval.enabled. The pre-turn prune now also fires for ask-capable agents (exported agentRequestsAskUserQuestion), and the abort-route prune fires when the aborted job carries a pendingAction. 3. MAJOR — self-spawned subagents bypassed the strip (self config resolves from the parent's _sourceInputs): fixed SDK-side (buildChildInputs clears graphTools) and the tool is now never present on child surfaces host-side. 4. MINOR — the manifest entry leaked into the Assistants tools dialog and the legacy plugins endpoint, where tools execute with no run to pause: new agentsOnly manifest flag, scoped out of both listings. 5. MINOR — filteredTools/includedTools only hid the tool from the dialog: now enforced at run build (strip + no checkpointer), making the admin filter a real kill switch for already-saved agents. * chore: update @librechat/agents dependency to version 3.2.58 in package-lock.json and package.json files * fix: reject agents-only tools at assistant create/update (Codex round 1) The tools-dialog scoping keeps ask_user_question out of the assistants LISTING, but the v1/v2 create/update handlers resolve arbitrary posted tool strings from the shared getCachedTools map — a REST client or stale saved payload could still attach it, and the assistants runtime executes tools with no run to pause, so every call would error. New isAgentsOnlyTool(tool) (manifest-driven, handles string and function-object shapes) drops such tools with a warn at all four resolution sites (v1+v2, create+update). * fix: offset resumed-run content indices past the pre-pause seed A resumed run rebuilds the graph from the checkpoint, and the fresh graph numbers content indices from its own empty contentData — starting at 0. The resume path seeds the (also fresh) content aggregator with the pre-pause parts at exactly those indices, so the resumed model turn collided with the seed: type-matching parts silently MERGED (post-resume text appended into a pre-pause text block), and type-mismatching parts (a reasoning/think part at index 0 — any Anthropic reasoning agent) dropped EVERY delta with 'Content type mismatch', losing the entire post-resume output from the live stream and the saved message. Latent since LibreChat-AI#13942 — tool-approval resumes corrupt content the same way (probe-verified); it surfaced now because ask_user_question makes pausing a first-class flow and reasoning models make the loss total. - createContentIndexOffsetHandlers(handlers, offset): wraps ON_RUN_STEP (the single point where a content index enters the pipeline — deltas resolve through the aggregator's stepMap) and ON_AGENT_UPDATE's inline index; every other handler passes through by reference. Probe-validated: resumed output now lands as a new part after the paused tool call. - resumeCompletion wires it with offset = seedContent.length. - logToolError: a GraphInterrupt unwinding out of a tool body is the HITL pause working as designed — no longer logged as a Tool Error. * fix: unblock live streaming of the resumed segment after an answer With resume indices now ABSOLUTE (server continues after the pre-pause parts), the synthetic ask-user-question card was squatting on exactly the index the resumed segment streams into: applyAskUserQuestion appends the card at the end of the message content, so on the answering device every incoming part at that index was blocked and nothing rendered between the answer submission and the finalize replacing the message. removeAskUserQuestionPart(message, actionId) strips the pause-scoped card on successful answer submission (useResumeSubmit onSuccess) — the durable record of the Q&A is the ask_user_question tool call itself. Pure helper + specs; same-reference no-op when nothing matches. * fix: displace the synthetic question card in the streaming content writer The store-level strip on answer submit wasn't enough: the SSE step handler keeps its own in-flight copy of the streaming message, so on the answering device the synthetic ask-user-question card still occupied the ABSOLUTE index the resumed segment streams into — every delta warned 'Content type mismatch' (existing ask_user_question vs incoming text) and nothing rendered between the pending_action and finalize. Displace the card inside updateContent when any real part claims its slot — the same displacement pattern as the OAuth prompt part directly above it. Covers the streaming handler's own copy, reconnecting tabs, and other devices; once real content streams, the pause is over by definition. Spec drives a runStep + text delta into the card's index and pins: no mismatch warn, card gone, text rendered. * feat: dedicated UI + durable data for completed ask_user_question calls The completed ask call rendered as a generic tool card labeled 'Cancelled' with raw (and empty) JSON args. Two layers fixed: Data: the saved tool_call part had args:'' and no output — streamed arg chunks carry no tool name so the aggregator drops them (normal tools recover via the completion event, which never fires for a tool that interrupts mid-execution and resumes on a rebuilt run with no step id). The resume controller now stamps the paused ask part with the pendingAction's authoritative question as args and the user's answer as output (attachAskUserQuestionAnswer — pure, targets the newest unanswered ask part, so sequential questions each keep their own answer). UI: Part.tsx routes ask_user_question tool calls to AskUserQuestionCall — a compact Q&A record ('Asked a question' header, question, description, 'You answered: <label>' preferring the picked option's label, or 'No answer was given' for an abandoned pause) instead of the generic card. New i18n keys; parseAskUserQuestionArgs degrades to null on malformed model args. * fix: single question UI per pause + immediate answer display Two live-turn issues with the new durable Q&A card: 1. Duplicate question on ask: during a live pause the message carries BOTH the ask tool_call part (now rendered by AskUserQuestionCall, showing a misleading 'No answer was given' while paused) and the synthetic interactive card. The durable card now defers while the turn is live and unanswered (isSubmitting) — the interactive card owns the question UI until it's answered; an abandoned pause still shows its no-answer state once the turn settles. 2. 'No answer was given' after answering: the server stamps the answer onto the part at resume seed, but the client only received that at finalize. No stream emission needed — the client knows the answer it just submitted: resolveAskUserQuestionPart (replacing the plain strip on submit success) removes the synthetic card AND stamps output/progress onto the newest unanswered ask tool_call, seeding args from the synthetic part's question when the streamed args were lost — mirroring the server-side attachAskUserQuestionAnswer, so the Q&A record shows the answer the moment the user submits. * fix: keep the Q&A record visible while the resumed segment streams The optimistic output stamp lives in the message store, but the SSE step handler evolves its own cached copy of the streaming message (created at turn start) — the first resumed event overwrites the store with that copy, wiping the stamp, so the Q&A card blinked out during streaming and only returned at finalize. Render-layer fallback instead of fighting the handler's copy: submitted answers are recorded by ask tool_call id when resolveAskUserQuestionPart stamps the part, and AskUserQuestionCall reads the recorded answer whenever the part's own output is missing — the record survives any message-copy churn until finalize delivers the server-stamped part. * feat: present Ask User as a native builtin in the tools dialog It ships with the app and pauses the run like a first-class feature, so it belongs with the builtins (Run Code, Web Search, Memory, ...) rather than in the third-party plugin list — while its mechanics stay exactly a plugin's: - BuiltinId += 'ask_user_question' (documented exception: a native TOOL, not a capability; selection reads agent.tools, the toggle emits tool-add/remove patches instead of a capability field) - buildCatalog surfaces it as a builtin gated on the same signals as before (tools capability on + the server lists the plugin, i.e. not admin-filtered) and skips it in the plugin loop so it never double-lists - On-theme icon: lucide MessageCircleQuestion in a teal chip via the builtin icon map, matching the other native entries; the bespoke purple SVG and the manifest icon field are gone - i18n'd name/description keys like the other builtins * feat: composer popover for answering questions (mentions-style) Answering moves to the composer, matching the existing mentions/prompts popover pattern: while an ask_user_question pause is live, a popover anchors above the textarea with the question as its header, numbered option rows (hover/click, or ↑/↓ + Enter from the empty composer), and an × to dismiss. The main textarea doubles as the free-form answer — its placeholder flips to 'Something else...' and form submit routes the text to the paused run as the answer instead of starting a new turn. Dismissing (× or Escape) restores normal sends; the inline transcript surfaces stay as before (interactive card while paused, durable Q&A record after) so the question remains visible in history. - findLiveAskUserQuestion (pure, spec'd): newest unanswered synthetic part across the conversation IS the popover signal — applied on on_pending_action, stripped on answer submit, so visibility tracks the pause lifecycle with no extra state - useLiveAskUserQuestion hook shared by the popover and ChatForm; dismissals in a recoil atom so both react - popover only mounts on the primary composer (index 0), mirroring QuoteButton * feat: number-key selection + return glyph in the question popover Pressing 1-9 in the empty composer picks the matching option directly, mirroring the numbered row chips; the highlighted row shows a return-key glyph as the Enter affordance. Same empty-composer guard as the arrow keys — typing a free-form answer is never intercepted. * refactor: first-class composer answer mode (useAskAnswerMode) Replaces the bolted-on integration (inline onSubmit interception + raw capture-phase keydown listeners on the textarea ref) with a single hook that owns the whole answer mode: live-question derivation, dismissal + highlighted option (shared recoil state), option selection, free-form submit routing (submitText returns whether it consumed the submission), and keyboard handling (handleKeyDown returns whether it consumed the key, composed ahead of the textarea's normal handler — no more addEventListener). The popover is now pure rendering off the hook; ChatForm wires placeholder, onKeyDown, and onSubmit through the same instance. Deliberately scoped to the composer rather than useSubmitMessage: starters/prompt-commands keep new-turn semantics (and the existing job-replacement behavior while paused). * fix: Codex round 2 — inline answer input, approval exemption, pause-time args F1 (composer submit unreachable while paused — isSubmitting keeps Stop shown and useTextarea eats Enter): redesigned around it, borrowing Claude Code's AskUserQuestion semantics. The popover now owns free-form input via an inline 'Other' row (numbered last, 'Something else…'), with select-then-confirm rows (click/arrows/digits highlight; Submit ↵, Enter, or double-click fires; Skip dismisses). The composer returns to being a plain composer — no placeholder swap, no submit interception; Stop keeps meaning stop. F2: ask_user_question is exempt from the tool-approval prompt unless the admin explicitly lists it (allow/ask/deny all win) — approving the right to ask a question was a pure double pause; the tool is side-effect-free. F3: the question is stamped onto the paused ask tool_call's args at PAUSE time (attachAskUserQuestionArgs in handleRunInterrupt), so abandoned/expired/ stopped turns persist with the question intact and the record card can render it — previously only the answer-resume path stamped args. * fix: fold model-supplied 'Other' options into the inline free-form row The model can generate its own catch-all option ('Other (type your own)', value 'other'), duplicating the popover's built-in free-form row — two other-ish rows, one pickable as a literal answer. Two layers: - Tool description now tells the model NOT to include catch-all options (the answer UI always offers free-form input on its own) - splitOtherOption (pure, spec'd) folds a catch-all option that arrives anyway out of the choice rows and uses its label as the inline input's placeholder — conservative match (value 'other', or a label reading as a free-form invitation), no false positives on real choices * fix: single question surface + clean free-form-only popover Two live-pause confusions: (1) the inline transcript card and the composer popover both rendered — the card now defers while the popover is up for its action, returning as the fallback surface when the user dismisses the popover (and in contexts without a ChatContext, where the popover can't exist); (2) an options-less question showed a pointless numbered '1 Something else…' row — free-form-only questions now render the inline input alone, with the 'Type your answer…' placeholder (a folded model 'Other' label still wins). * feat: the composer is the free-form answer box (like the main chat input) While a question pause is live, the main chat textarea composes the free-form answer — placeholder swaps to 'Something else…' (or a folded model 'Other' label), Enter with text submits the answer through answer-mode key handling (composed BEFORE useTextarea's submitting-lock, so the lock can't swallow it), and the Stop button swaps to Send (enabled despite isSubmitting) per the select-then-confirm design. The popover slims to the question header, numbered option rows, and Skip/Submit — its inline input is gone since the composer owns free-form now. Dismissing the popover restores normal composer semantics (Stop button, normal sends). * fix: Codex round 3 + real Skip semantics - Skip now ANSWERS instead of hiding UI (danny): it resumes the run with a decline notice ('The user chose not to answer this question.') so the model moves on — a client-side dismiss left the run paused until expiry, a hung turn. × / Escape remain pure dismiss (switch to the inline card surface). - P1 (resumed approval tool indices): resumed tool_calls steps whose tool_call id matches a seeded UNRESOLVED part now rebind to that seeded slot instead of offsetting — the original part resolves in place (output attaches) and no duplicate appears; message steps keep the offset, so the text-loss fix stands. createContentIndexOffsetHandlers now takes the seed array; resolved seeded calls are not rebind targets. - P2 (stale selection across questions): selection state resets when the live actionId changes; the vestigial inline-Other state ('other' selection + text atom) is gone — the composer owns free-form. - P2 (Redis abort path loses the args stamp): the abort route re-stamps the question onto the ask tool_call in the reconstructed abort content, so a Stop-abandoned question persists with its question intact. - P2 (malformed args crash): parseAskUserQuestionArgs normalizes untrusted shapes (options: {} / non-string entries) instead of throwing in render. * feat: free-form hint in the question popover footer Left-aligned in the footer row (opposite Skip/Submit): 'Or type your answer below' — points open-ended answering at the composer, whose placeholder already reads 'Something else…'. * feat: preserve composer drafts across the answer-mode swap The answer phase gets its own draft key (ask-answer:<actionId>), passed as a draftId override into useAutoSave — the key change itself drives the existing save/restore machinery, so the conversation draft (or mid-run PENDING draft) is stashed when a question pause takes the composer and restored once the user answers, skips, or dismisses. Ask keys are exempt from the PENDING migration branch, which would otherwise move-and-delete the stashed draft. A half-typed answer survives reload/navigation while its question stays live. Answer submission (option pick, free-form, skip) resets the composer via a new non-throwing useOptionalChatFormContext, so the swap-back restores into an empty box even outside ChatView-less render contexts (Share/search). * fix: rebind resumed steps for ALL seeded tool call ids The resume controller pre-stamps the user's answer onto the seeded ask_user_question part, so the unresolved-only rebind predicate treated it as settled and shifted the tool's re-run step to a fresh offset slot, leaving a duplicate ask record in streamed/saved content. Tool call ids are provider-minted per call: a resumed step bearing a seeded id can only be the interrupted batch re-executing, so rebinding every seeded id is always correct. * feat: popover UX round 4 — clickable hint, collapse, click-submit, multiSelect - Footer hint is a button that focuses the composer; reads 'Type your answer below' (no 'Or') when the question has no options. - Collapse (chevron) hides the popover WITHOUT closing the pause: answer mode stays live (placeholder, Enter routing, draft key), the chat card renders the question with a ChevronUp affordance to re-expand. x remains dismiss. - Single-select options submit on a single click; the Submit button renders only for multi-select. - multiSelect end-to-end: tool zod schema + JSON definition twin, wire type, client parse, popover check-chips, card toggles, record-card label mapping; answer = option values joined ', '; composer Enter and the multi Submit button both fold free-form text in with the checked values. - Hardening from adversarial review: in-flight status guard on every submit path (no duplicate resumes on double-click), popover locks while submitting, collapsed mode disarms invisible digit/arrow steering, the card shares the hook's checked state while the pause is live, the card folds catch-all 'Other' options, record mapping is all-or-nothing to avoid phantom labels, composer resets only when its text was consumed or the draft machinery will restore the stash. * feat: ask_user_question in model specs and ephemeral agents A librechat.yaml modelSpec can now equip the tool the same way it equips webSearch/executeCode/fileSearch/memory: modelSpecs: list: - name: my-spec askUserQuestion: true loadEphemeralAgent pushes the tool name when the spec flag (or the ephemeralAgent request flag, wired for parity) is set; everything downstream is the existing persisted-agent machinery — createRun's hitlCapable gating, graphTools injection, checkpointer attach, subagent strip, and the admin filteredTools/includedTools kill switch all apply unchanged. * feat: tense-aware Q&A record label (Asking / Asked) Shorten the record card header per feedback: 'Asking' while the question is still unanswered (abandoned/awaiting), 'Asked' once answered — replacing the single 'Asked a question' label. * fix: Codex round 4 — added-agent ask parity + preserve answer on failed resume F1 (added.ts): mirror loadEphemeralAgent's ask_user_question branch in the added-agent loader so a model spec's askUserQuestion flag (or the ephemeral request flag) equips added top-level agents too, matching execute_code / web_search / memory. Two load.spec cases added. F3 (composer): submitAskAnswer now takes an onSuccess callback and useAskAnswerMode defers clearing the selection/composer until the resume is accepted. A failed resume (16k answer-cap 400, expired action, network error) leaves status re-answerable, so wiping the composer up front lost the user's only copy of a free-form answer; now it survives for trim/retry. (F2 — a claimed Tools-capability bypass — was verified NOT reproducible: agentRequestsAskUserQuestion matches only loaded instances/toolDefinitions/ toolRegistry, all capability-filtered; a raw tools string has no .name and never triggers the install. Replied on-thread with the probe evidence.) * fix: Codex round 5 — expired question exits answer mode so its message shows An expired question (e.g. resume returns the stale-action 409) previously left the popover open with locked controls and no explanation, because the chat card — which carries the only 'this action expired' message — was suppressed by the popover-open guard. Treat 'expired' as no longer active: the popover closes, the composer reverts to normal, and the card becomes the sole surface and renders the expired message. 'error' stays active (retryable). * feat: group ask_user_question calls as their own category A homogeneous group of ask_user_question tool calls now reads 'Asked N questions' (present tense 'Asking N questions' while the turn streams) with a question glyph and no raw-name suffix — mirroring the subagent 'Ran N agents' category treatment, instead of 'Used N tools — ask_user_question'. Mixed groups keep 'Used N tools' but humanize the suffix to 'Question' and show a question icon for the ask entries (TOOL_FRIENDLY_NAME_KEYS + ToolIcon map). A group only forms at count >= 2, so the plural is always grammatical. Three ToolCallGroup.test cases cover homogeneous label/icon/suffix, present tense while streaming, and the mixed-group fallback. * fix: Codex round 6 — composer submit lock + abort stamp before emit F7 (composer status lock): the ask submit status lived on ApprovalContext, a React context mounted only around message content (ContentParts). The PRIMARY answer surface — the composer in ChatForm — renders outside it, so useApprovalContext returned the inert FALLBACK: status was always 'idle', setStatus a no-op. The in-flight double-submit guard (round 4) and the expired-exits-answer-mode fix (round 5) therefore never engaged for the composer. Move ask submit status to a global Recoil atom (useAskSubmitStatus) read/written by the composer, the popover, and the card alike, so a fast double-click/Enter is actually blocked and expired/error surfaces on every surface. Tool-approval status stays on the context (unchanged). F5 (abort stamp before emit): the abort route re-stamped a paused ask_user_question's args AFTER GenerationJobManager.abortJob had already emitted the final SSE from the unstamped content, so a Redis/cross-replica Stop left the live client showing an empty question until reload. abortJob now takes an optional transformAbortContent applied to the persistable content BEFORE the final event is built (and returned), so the live client and the saved message agree. New abort.spec case + updated call assertions. * feat: gate ask_user_question behind its own agent capability Add a first-class AgentCapabilities.ask_user_question (in defaultAgentCapabilities, on by default) so admins can enable/disable questions independently via endpoints.agents.capabilities, exactly like execute_code / web_search — not lumped under the generic tools capability. - ToolService: both filteredTools predicates (definitions-only and instance loaders) gate ask_user_question on checkCapability(ask_user_question) before the generic tools fallthrough. When off, the tool is dropped from toolDefinitions/toolRegistry, so run.ts's agentRequestsAskUserQuestion (which keys on the loaded surface) declines to install it and attach a checkpointer — the capability is enforced end-to-end at the loader, no run.ts change needed. - Tools dialog catalog: surface the ask builtin under its own capability rather than the generic tools one, so the UI matches the backend gate. - Tests: ToolService capability on/off filtering + defaults membership; catalog builtin visibility keyed on the dedicated capability. * style: sort imports in ToolCallGroup.test (CI import-order gate) * fix: Codex round 7 — surface ask-answer errors in the open popover A failed answer submission (16k reject, network error) sets the ask status to 'error', which — unlike 'expired' — deliberately keeps the question active and retryable. But the chat card that renders the error message is suppressed while the popover is open, so a composer/popover answer failed silently. Expose an 'errored' flag from useAskAnswerMode and render a warning line (com_ui_ask_answer_error) in the popover, so the user gets feedback and retry guidance without having to collapse/dismiss. It clears automatically on retry (status flips to 'submitting'). * fix: Codex round 8 — respect IME composition before submitting answers handleComposerKeyDown runs before useTextarea's composition guard, so with a CJK/IME keyboard the Enter that commits an in-progress composition was being intercepted and submitting the partial answer (and the composition buffer can leave value empty mid-compose, mis-triggering digit/arrow steering too). Bail at the top when composing — nativeEvent.isComposing, or key==='Process' / keyCode===229 for Safari's inconsistent reporting — mirroring the existing composer guard so the character commits normally. * chore: update `@librechat/agents` to v3.2.60 * 🔧 chore: Update @opentelemetry/core to version 2.9.0 and clean up package-lock.json * feat: digit shortcuts select options when the popover has focus Previously a number key (1..N) only selected an option from the empty composer (handleComposerKeyDown on the textarea) — if focus moved into the popover (a row/Skip/Submit button clicked or tabbed to), the number keys went dead. Add handlePopoverKeyDown, wired to the popover container's onKeyDown so it catches digits bubbling from the focused control: a digit activates its option exactly like a click (single-select submits, multi toggles). No highlight/Enter dance on this path — the options are buttons whose action is the click, and intercepting Enter would fight the focused button. Gated on active && !locked so it no-ops while a submit is in flight. * chore: update @librechat/agents to version 3.2.61 and @opentelemetry packages to latest versions
Summary
Makes the agents tool-approval policy configurable beyond on/off by adding a programmatic hook seam plus a config-driven loader. Builds directly on the HITL Slice B runtime (#13942), and is inert until
endpoints.agents.toolApproval.enabledis set — no behavior change for anyone not opting in.The static
allow/deny/askname-lists can't express dynamic policy ("ask beforewrite_fileoutside the workspace", "auto-approve for admins", per-agent rules). Hooks fill that gap: a host hook sees the full live call and returns a decision, composing with the static policy.What's added
1. Programmatic hook seam (
packages/api/src/agents/hitl/hooks.ts)registerToolApprovalHook(factory, { matcher? })— register a factory that builds aPreToolUsehook per run from aToolApprovalHookContext(userId,conversationId,tenantId,appConfig— the request identity the SDK hook input lacks). Returnundefinedto opt a run out. Returns an unregister fn.buildHITLRunWiring(policy, context)registers the static-config policy hook as the baseline, then layers each resolved host hook after it.createRunthreads the per-run context.deny > ask > allow, so a hook can only tighten a configuredask/deny— never silently auto-approve past policy.updatedInput/allowedDecisionsfollow the SDK's last-writer-wins, so host hooks override the baseline. (The SDK's owncreateWorkspacePolicyHookis this exact shape.)2. Config-driven loader (
hookLoader.ts+endpoints.agents.toolApproval.hooks[])The module's default export is a builder
(options) => (context) => (input) => decision.loadToolApprovalHooksimports + registers each at startup (wired inapi/server/index.jsafterappConfigresolves). It is reload-safe (each call drops its own previous batch, leaving code-registered hooks alone) and robust — an unimportable module / non-function export / throwing builder is logged and skipped, never crashing startup or blocking the others.Security
The configured
moduleis dynamically imported and executed in-process. This is admin-level config (librechat.yaml), documented as trusted-code-only.Testing
hooks.spec.ts— registry register/unregister/opt-out/order.runtime.spec.ts— wiring composition (static + N host hooks), context passthrough, disabled-path inertness.hookLoader.spec.ts— default/no-default export, options passthrough, bad-export skip, builder-returns-non-function skip, import-failure resilience, continue-past-bad-entry, reload de-dup.Follow-ups (not in this PR)
