Fix auto_debug.py node state mutations (#10496)
All four node functions in AutoDebugAgent were mutating the input state dict in-place and returning the full state object, violating the LangGraph StateGraph contract which expects nodes to return only a partial update dict.
Changes
{{"messages": updated_messages}}instead of mutatingstate["messages"]in-place via append and returning the full state.{{"current_fix": fix_data}}instead of mutatingstate["current_fix"]and returning all 10 state keys.fix_validated+attempted_fixes"with new list copies) instead of aliasing the originalattempted_fixeslist and mutating it in-place.{{"result": ...}}}instead of settingstate["result"]in-place and returning the full state.Bug impact
state.get("attempted_fixes")returns a reference to the same list, and.append()mutates both the checkpointed state and any other code holding a reference to that list.Tests
Added BDD feature tests in
features/tdd_auto_debug_state_mutation.featurecovering all four node functions (including the validation retry branch) to verify no in-place mutations occur. Each test uses deepcopy/length snapshots before and after the call to assert immutability of the original state.Closes #10496
Node functions _analyze_error, _generate_fix, _validate_fix, and _finalize previously mutated the input state dict in-place and returned the full state object, violating the LangGraph node contract which requires returning only a dict of state updates (changed keys). This fix updates all four node functions to return new partial state dicts containing only the changed keys, consistent with the correct pattern already used in context_analysis.py and plan_generation.py. Changes: - _analyze_error: returns {"messages": [*existing, new_message]} - _generate_fix: returns {"current_fix": fix_data} - _validate_fix: returns {"fix_validated": is_valid} plus "attempted_fixes" when invalid - _finalize: returns {"result": {...}} - All four functions now have return type dict[str, Any] instead of AutoDebugState - Added TDD BDD tests verifying no in-place mutation occurs ISSUES CLOSED: #10496Review Summary
The core logic fix in
auto_debug.pyis correct and well-implemented — all four node functions (_analyze_error,_generate_fix,_validate_fix,_finalize) now properly return partial state update dicts instead of mutating state in-place, which is exactly the right fix for the LangGraph node contract violation described in #10496. The new docstrings and updated return type annotations (dict[str, Any]instead ofAutoDebugState) are appropriate.However, there are 8 blocking issues that must be resolved before this PR can be approved.
BLOCKER 1 — CI is failing
Three CI checks are currently failing:
CI / lint— failing after 1m0sCI / unit_tests— failing after 4m38sCI / integration_tests— failing after 3m42sPer company policy and CONTRIBUTING.md, all CI gates must pass before a PR can be approved and merged. Fix all CI failures and push a corrected commit.
BLOCKER 2 —

_base_stateto returndict[str, Any]and cast toAutoDebugStateonly where a method signature demands it.BLOCKER 3 — Missing
@tdd_issueand@tdd_issue_10496tags in BDD feature file (see inline comment)features/tdd_auto_debug_state_mutation.featurehas no TDD tags on any scenario. Per the TDD bug fix workflow, regression tests for bug issues must carry@tdd_issueand@tdd_issue_Ntags permanently. The CI gate checks for@tdd_issue_10496and will block the merge if absent.How to fix: Add
@tdd_issue @tdd_issue_10496before everyScenario:in the file. Do NOT add@tdd_expected_fail— that tag only appears on the TDD branch before the fix.BLOCKER 4 — PR scope is not atomic: unrelated changes bundled in (see inline comments)
This PR modifies 43 files but its stated purpose is fixing
auto_debug.pyfor issue #10496. The diff contains numerous changes unrelated to this issue:subplan_execution_service.py— status_map optimisation and stop_flag guard (for #7582)plan_lifecycle_service.py— prompt_definition root decision fix (for #9061).opencode/agents/config files — agent permission restructuringbenchmarks/langgraph_execution_bench.pyandtui_rendering_bench.py— new benchmarksdocs/api/decisions.md,docs/api/invariants.md,docs/api/checkpoints.md,docs/api/plan-corrections.md— API docs for other featuresfeatures/subplan_execution.feature— new scenario for #7582features/tdd_plan_lifecycle_decision_root_type.feature— new feature for #9061docs/timeline.md,mkdocs.yml— unrelated updatesPer CONTRIBUTING.md, each PR must be atomic. These must be removed via rebase and submitted in separate PRs.
BLOCKER 5 — No milestone assigned on PR
The PR has no milestone. Per CONTRIBUTING.md requirement 12, the PR must be assigned to the same milestone as the linked issue. Issue #10496 is in v3.2.0 — assign this milestone to the PR.

Type/label on PRThe PR has no labels. Per CONTRIBUTING.md requirement 12, exactly one
Type/label must be applied. This is a bug fix: applyType/Bug.BLOCKER 7 — Branch name does not match issue Metadata and uses wrong prefix
Issue #10496's Metadata section specifies branch
fix/auto-debug-node-return-update-dicts. The actual branch used isfix/issue-10496-auto-debug-state-mutation. Additionally, per CONTRIBUTING.md, bug fix branches must use thebugfix/mN-prefix (notfix/). The correct branch name would have beenbugfix/m2-auto-debug-node-return-update-dicts. Since renaming a pushed branch is disruptive, document this deviation in a follow-up cleanup.BLOCKER 8 — Missing Forgejo dependency link
The PR does not block issue #10496 in Forgejo. Per CONTRIBUTING.md: CORRECT direction is PR → blocks → issue. Currently no dependency links are set in either direction. Add issue #10496 under "blocks" on the PR.
Additional: CHANGELOG missing entry for #10496

(check
no_duplicates, categoryno_duplicates)PR #11155 addresses a specific LangGraph contract violation in AutoDebugAgent (issue #10496): node functions returning full state dicts instead of partial update dicts, causing double-appending and aliasing bugs. Scanned all 238 open PRs for overlapping scope (same issue, same agent, state mutation fixes). No PR references issue #10496, mentions auto_debug.py, or addresses AutoDebugAgent state semantics. Related agent work addresses different modules/agents. This is a focused, isolated bug fix with no duplicates in the pool.
📋 Estimate: tier 1.
Multi-file change (5 files, +349/-27) targeting 4 node functions in auto_debug.py to return partial update dicts instead of mutating state in-place, satisfying the LangGraph StateGraph contract. The logic change is well-bounded to one agent file but requires understanding LangGraph merge semantics (partial vs full-state returns). Substantial new BDD test coverage added (deepcopy/snapshot verification across all four functions including the validation retry branch). Fits Tier 1 cleanly: multi-file, new test files, cross-file context needed, standard engineering work with meaningful correctness implications.

The conflict resolver appears to have reset or clobbered the branch to master HEAD, losing all auto_debug state-mutation commits (including the29c9be7aacommit that freemo approved). Cannot implement anything without the PR's changes present on the branch. The controller must restore the branch from the last known-good commit (29c9be7aa2ee95c4a83abd79c118ad7c36fa3800) and re-run conflict resolution if needed.(attempt #10, tier 2)

fix/issue-10496-auto-debug-state-mutationHEAD is8ee9d5944c03ef2bb1ed0072ab502545574d6e1c— a master merge commit for PR #10772 ("feat(context): implement PriorityContextStrategy"), entirely unrelated to PR #11155.git log origin/master..HEADis empty: the branch has ZERO commits ahead of master. Two additional anomalies: (1) the prompt declaredhead_sha=5e71221f615e673d7dd410b6872c958100f822cabut actual HEAD is8ee9d5944c03ef2bb1ed0072ab502545574d6e1c— the controller's snapshot is stale or the branch was force-pushed between dispatch and now; (2) the diff summary shows0 files, +0, -0, consistent with an empty branch. The reviewer-approved commit29c9be7aa2ee95c4a83abd79c118ad7c36fa3800(per freemo's 2026-05-13 approval) is absent from the branch — all auto_debug state-mutation work for #10496 has been lost. There is nothing to verify (verified-cleaninappropriate), no CI verdict to wait for (ci-not-readyinappropriate — CI is meaningless on an empty branch), and no factual reviewer claim to dispute (reviewer feedback is moot when zero PR code exists). The git contract forbids me fromrebase/reset --hard/cherry-pick/restore --source=, which are the only operations that could restore the lost commit. Recommended controller actions: (a) restore the branch by force-pushing29c9be7aa2ee95c4a83abd79c118ad7c36fa3800(the last known-good reviewer-approved SHA) ontofix/issue-10496-auto-debug-state-mutation, OR (b) close PR #11155 and abandon the workflow if the upstream conflict-resolver is repeatedly clobbering the branch (root-cause investigation needed — this is the second tier attempt observing the same loss, suggesting a pipeline-level bug, not a per-PR transient). Until either action is taken, the implementer cannot make progress within the git contract.🌱 Grooming: proceed — PR cleared for processing.
(check
no_duplicates, categoryno_duplicates)PR #11155 fixes a specific LangGraph StateGraph contract violation in auto_debug.py (issue #10496) where four node functions were mutating input state dicts in-place instead of returning partial update dicts. Scanned all 218 open PRs: no other PR mentions auto_debug, issue #10496, or addresses the same state mutation problem. The only tangentially related PR (#11239) is a broader langgraph library extraction refactor with different scope and issue targets.
📋 Estimate: tier 1.
4-file change (+117/-42) touching auto_debug.py source and adding a new BDD feature file with tests covering all four node functions. The fix pattern is consistent but requires understanding LangGraph's StateGraph merge contract and the aliasing/mutation semantics — not purely mechanical. Multi-file, new test code, non-trivial logic: solidly tier 1. CI is green. No architectural or cross-subsystem impact warrants tier 2.
