state_snapshot.py DOX

Purpose

• Own the state_snapshot.py helper module.
• This module builds and validates typed WebUI state snapshots.
• Keep this file-level DOX profile synchronized with state_snapshot.py because this directory is intentionally flat.

Ownership

• state_snapshot.py owns the runtime implementation.
• state_snapshot.py.dox.md owns durable notes about responsibilities, contracts, side effects, and verification for that implementation.
• Classes:
• SnapshotV1 (TypedDict)
• StateRequestV1 (no explicit base class)
• StateRequestValidationError (ValueError)
• Top-level functions:
• _annotation_to_isinstance_types(annotation: Any) -> tuple[type, ...]: Convert type annotation to tuple suitable for isinstance().
• _build_schema_from_typeddict(td: type) -> dict[str, tuple[type, ...]]: Extract field names and isinstance-compatible types from TypedDict.
• validate_snapshot_schema_v1(snapshot: Mapping[str, Any]) -> None
• _coerce_non_negative_int(value: Any, default: int=...) -> int
• _get_agent_profile_labels() -> dict[str, str]
• _apply_agent_profile_metadata(context_data: dict[str, Any], ctx: AgentContext, labels: dict[str, str]) -> None
• parse_state_request_payload(payload: Mapping[str, Any]) -> StateRequestV1
• _coerce_state_request_inputs(context: Any, log_from: Any, notifications_from: Any, timezone: Any) -> StateRequestV1
• advance_state_request_after_snapshot(request: StateRequestV1, snapshot: Mapping[str, Any]) -> StateRequestV1
• async build_snapshot_from_request(request: StateRequestV1) -> SnapshotV1: Build a poll-shaped snapshot for both /poll and state_push.
• _notify_timezone_changed(previous_timezone: str, current_timezone: str) -> None
• async build_snapshot(context: str | None, log_from: int, notifications_from: int, timezone: str | None) -> SnapshotV1
• Notable constants/configuration names: _SNAPSHOT_V1_SCHEMA, SNAPSHOT_SCHEMA_V1_KEYS.

Runtime Contracts

• Helper modules own reusable framework APIs and must preserve public callers unless all callers, tests, and docs are updated together.
• Update this file whenever public functions, classes, persistence behavior, path/security assumptions, side effects, or cross-module contracts change.
• Observed side-effect areas: plugin state, settings/state persistence, secret handling, scheduler state.
• Imported dependency areas include: __future__, agent, dataclasses, helpers.dotenv, helpers.localization, helpers.task_scheduler, pytz, types, typing.

Key Concepts

• Important called helpers/classes observed in the source: dataclass, _build_schema_from_typeddict, get_origin, timezone.strip, StateRequestV1, localization.get_timezone, localization.set_timezone, ctxid.strip, _coerce_non_negative_int, AgentContext.get_notification_manager, notification_manager.output, _get_agent_profile_labels, ctxs.sort, tasks.sort, validate_snapshot_schema_v1, _coerce_state_request_inputs, super.__init__, get_args, _annotation_to_isinstance_types, TypeError.
• Keep request/response, tool, or helper semantics documented here at the same time as source changes.

Work Guidance

• Preserve public helper APIs used by core code and plugins unless every caller is updated.
• Keep path, auth, secret, persistence, network, and subprocess behavior explicit and bounded.
• Prefer adding cohesive helper functions here only when behavior is reused across modules.

Verification

• Run targeted tests for changed helper behavior; run security regressions for auth, filesystem, WebSocket, tunnel, upload, or secret-handling helpers.
• Related tests observed by source search:
  • tests/test_multi_tab_isolation.py
  • tests/test_snapshot_parity.py
  • tests/test_snapshot_schema_v1.py
  • tests/test_state_monitor.py
  • tests/test_state_sync_handler.py
  • tests/test_state_sync_welcome_screen.py
