From 69ebccd81eccf2970321c379c244cbc0e27873b2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian O'Kelley Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 02:27:40 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] =?UTF-8?q?feat(server)!:=20pluggable=20TaskStore=20on?= =?UTF-8?q?=20A2A=20=E2=80=94=20unblock=20production=20A2A=20adoption?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Closes #224 (Phase 2 PR-N from .context/sdk-adoption-roadmap.md). `create_a2a_server()` now accepts `task_store: TaskStore | None`, and threads it through to `DefaultRequestHandler(task_store=...)`. `serve()` surfaces the same kwarg so `serve(..., transport="a2a", task_store=...)` works end-to-end. When omitted, behavior is unchanged — default `InMemoryTaskStore` keeps existing adopters green. This is the first of three A2A hooks salesagent's 2,288-LOC custom A2A server replaces. With #225 (push-notif config store) and #226 (per-skill middleware) landing next, their ~13-day A2A migration becomes ~5-day and net-positive. ### Reference impl — examples/a2a_db_tasks.py SQLite-backed `TaskStore` subclass showing the full contract (save / get / delete) and durability across process restart. SQLite chosen as the reference target: stdlib-only, no infra, schema sketch translates directly to Postgres/MySQL. Docstring calls out the gaps between reference and production (async driver, transaction pattern for same-transaction commits with handler writes, TTL/GC). ### Tests tests/test_a2a_server.py: - test_create_a2a_server_defaults_to_in_memory_task_store — preserves pre-#224 behavior (omitting the kwarg is a no-op). - test_create_a2a_server_accepts_custom_task_store — asserts the store threads through to DefaultRequestHandler.task_store via a `_extract_default_request_handler()` helper that walks the a2a-sdk Starlette graph (localises the blast radius when a2a-sdk internals move). - test_task_store_survives_server_recreation — end-to-end property: create two A2A apps sharing a store, prove tasks written by app A are readable by app B. ### Docs docs/handler-authoring.md — A2A section's "InMemoryTaskStore caveat" bullet upgraded to a "Durable task storage" subsection with the `SqliteTaskStore` recipe. Known-gaps bullets link to #225/#226. serve.py + create_a2a_server docstrings document the new kwarg.

SECURITY — HIGH: reference SqliteTaskStore taught cross-tenant leakage The TaskStore ABC passes a ServerCallContext with the authenticated user on every call, but the reference impl ignored it. Durability turned a process-local ambiguity into a permanent, enumerable disclosure: any principal that learns another tenant's task id retrieves that tenant's full task — history, artifacts, PII. Fix in examples/a2a_db_tasks.py: - New `scope` column on the a2a_tasks table, composited into the PK `(scope, task_id)`. - `_scope_from_context()` derives the scope from `context.user.user_name` (with `is_authenticated` check), falling back to `__anonymous__` when unauth'd — so anonymous and authenticated tasks never collide. - Every `save` / `get` / `delete` passes the scope into a `WHERE scope = ?` clause. Cross-scope reads return None; cross-scope deletes affect zero rows. HARDENING — SqliteTaskStore additional followups - `_conn()` now rolls back on exception (port-to-psycopg safety). - SQLite file is `chmod 0o600` on first creation so a co-tenant process can't read buyer-supplied task history on a shared host. - `INSERT OR REPLACE` last-writer-wins caveat documented at the SQL site and in the "Not production-ready" block. - Buyer-supplied history in `Task.model_dump_json` now explicit: the docstring calls out that persisted history = plaintext conversation content on disk. DOCS — docs/handler-authoring.md "Four things a durable TaskStore MUST do" Surfaces the four most common production mistakes (principal scoping, file permissions, concurrent-save correctness, terminal-task GC) so readers who skip the example file don't ship a leak. TESTS — tests/test_a2a_server.py - `test_custom_task_store_receives_saves_from_skill_dispatch` replaces the previous test's misleading claim. The old version only proved Python GC; this one calls `DefaultRequestHandler.on_get_task` and asserts the custom store's recording set receives the lookup. If a2a-sdk ever bypasses `.task_store`, this fails even when the kwarg still gets set. - `test_task_store_persists_across_app_recreation`: retained and scoped to the property it actually proves (store reusable across multiple app instances). - `test_sqlite_task_store_isolates_scopes_by_context`: loads the reference example via importlib and asserts tenant A's task is not returned to tenant B — pins the example's security claim.

Root cause: the a2a-sdk Starlette integration uses 3.11+ typing patterns. The existing ``test_create_a2a_server_creates_starlette_app`` already guards with ``@pytest.mark.skipif(sys.version_info < (3, 11))``; the four new tests added in #230 didn't, so they collected and blew up. Adds the same guard to: - test_create_a2a_server_defaults_to_in_memory_task_store - test_create_a2a_server_accepts_custom_task_store - test_custom_task_store_receives_saves_from_skill_dispatch - test_task_store_persists_across_app_recreation test_sqlite_task_store_isolates_scopes_by_context doesn't call create_a2a_server (it exercises the SqliteTaskStore directly via importlib), so no skip needed — confirmed passing on 3.10 in the failing CI run.
