Fixes #2151

Summary

Adds a versioned handshake with capability negotiation to the WebSocket gateway protocol, enabling graceful protocol evolution and structured connect errors.

Changes

Core SDK (praisonaiagents/gateway/protocols.py)

  • Added GATEWAY_PROTOCOL_VERSION and MIN_CLIENT_PROTOCOL_VERSION constants
  • Added ConnectErrorCode enum with structured error codes
  • Added HelloParams, HelloResult, HelloError data structures
  • Added new event types: HELLO, HELLO_OK, HELLO_ERROR

Wrapper (praisonai/gateway/server.py)

  • Implemented hello message handler with protocol version negotiation
  • Capability-based feature discovery (streaming, presence, ack)
  • Policy limits communication (max_payload, heartbeat_ms)
  • Structured error responses with actionable next steps
  • Maintains full backward compatibility with existing join/joined messages

Benefits

  • Graceful protocol evolution: Clients and servers can negotiate compatible versions
  • Structured errors: Clients receive actionable error codes instead of free-text
  • Feature discovery: Clients know what methods/events are available
  • Policy communication: Clients can self-configure based on server limits
  • Backward compatibility: Existing clients continue to work

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added gateway protocol versioning for improved system compatibility and version negotiation
    • Introduced structured error codes providing clearer diagnostics for connection failures
    • Implemented enhanced handshake flow with session management and missed event replay capabilities
    • Maintained backward compatibility with existing connection methods

…rotocol (fixes #2151)

- Add protocol version constants and negotiation
- Add structured connect error codes (auth_required, protocol_unsupported, etc.)
- Add HelloParams, HelloResult, HelloError data structures
- Implement hello/hello_ok/hello_error message exchange
- Support capability-based feature discovery
- Communicate policy limits (max_payload, heartbeat_ms)
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing join/joined messages

Walkthrough

Adds protocol version constants (GATEWAY_PROTOCOL_VERSION, MIN_CLIENT_PROTOCOL_VERSION), a ConnectErrorCode enum, and three handshake dataclasses (HelloParams, HelloResult, HelloError) to protocols.py. Implements a corresponding hello/hello_ok/hello_error message handler in gateway/server.py with version negotiation, session resume, and event replay, while keeping the legacy join path.

Gateway Versioned Handshake

Layer / File(s) Summary
Protocol contract: constants, error codes, and handshake types
src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/gateway/protocols.py
Adds GATEWAY_PROTOCOL_VERSION = 1 and MIN_CLIENT_PROTOCOL_VERSION = 1, ConnectErrorCode string enum with five members, HELLO/HELLO_OK/HELLO_ERROR values to EventType, and HelloParams, HelloResult, HelloError dataclasses representing the full versioned handshake wire contract.
Server handshake handler and backward-compatible join path
src/praisonai/praisonai/gateway/server.py
Imports new protocol types, adds a hello branch to _handle_client_message that validates agent existence, negotiates protocol version (sending hello_error with protocol_unsupported or agent_not_found on failure), resumes or creates sessions, replays missed events via since_cursor, and sends hello_ok with features and policy; preserves the legacy join path with an explicit backward-compatibility comment.

Greptile Summary

This PR introduces a versioned handshake (hello/hello_ok/hello_error) to the WebSocket gateway, enabling protocol version negotiation, structured error codes, capability-based feature discovery, and policy communication to clients, while keeping the legacy join/joined path intact for backward compatibility.

  • protocols.py: Adds GATEWAY_PROTOCOL_VERSION/MIN_CLIENT_PROTOCOL_VERSION constants, the ConnectErrorCode enum, HelloParams/HelloResult/HelloError dataclasses, and three new EventType variants — purely additive data-model changes.
  • server.py: Implements the hello handler with version negotiation, capability gating (streaming/presence/ack events), config-sourced policy limits, session resumption with event replay, and structured error responses; two input-validation gaps exist (see inline comments).

Confidence Score: 3/5

The hello handshake handler has two input-validation gaps that allow malformed client messages to crash the connection handler or squatt arbitrary session IDs.

Sending "protocol_min": null causes an unhandled TypeError that drops the connection silently without any error response to the client, mirroring the caps: null bug that was already fixed in this same handler. Additionally, supplying an unknown session_id creates a fresh session under that attacker-supplied ID in _client_sessions, potentially reserving it before a legitimate owner reconnects. Both issues are on the hot path of the new handshake flow.

src/praisonai/praisonai/gateway/server.py — specifically the protocol_min/protocol_max extraction block and the session creation fallback in resume_or_create_session.

Filename Overview
src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/gateway/protocols.py Adds GATEWAY_PROTOCOL_VERSION/MIN_CLIENT_PROTOCOL_VERSION constants, ConnectErrorCode enum, HelloParams/HelloResult/HelloError dataclasses, and HELLO/HELLO_OK/HELLO_ERROR EventType variants — clean data-model additions with no logic.
src/praisonai/praisonai/gateway/server.py Implements the hello handshake handler; has a null/non-integer guard gap for protocol_min/protocol_max (causing unhandled TypeError on null values) and a session-squatting window when an unknown session_id is supplied.

- Around line 1064-1069: The heartbeat_ms value in the policy dictionary is
hard-coded to 15000 instead of using the heartbeat_interval value loaded from
the gateway configuration. Replace the hard-coded 15000 value with the
heartbeat_interval from the gateway config so that the policy reflects the
actual configured heartbeat interval and clients negotiate the correct interval
instead of defaulting to 15 seconds.
- Around line 1037-1063: The features list in the code starting around line 1039
is advertising methods and events that are either not implemented or not
negotiated with the client. Remove the "abort" method from the methods list
unless it has a corresponding handler implemented, and move the streaming events
(TOKEN_STREAM, TOOL_CALL_STREAM, STREAM_END, MESSAGE, MESSAGE_ACK, ERROR) from
the base features dictionary into a conditional block that only adds them if the
client has advertised streaming capability in client_caps, similar to how the
presence and ack features are conditionally added. This ensures that
hello_ok.features only advertises methods and events that are both implemented
and negotiated with the client.
- Around line 981-1024: The wire parser is reading incorrect field names from
the incoming data, causing clients that properly serialize HelloParams to fall
back to protocol v1 with no capabilities. Update the parsing logic around line
982-983 to read protocol_min and protocol_max as direct fields (not nested under
protocol), and update line 1023 to read capabilities instead of caps, so that
client data aligned with the HelloParams contract is correctly parsed.
- Around line 1025-1035: The resumed session returned from
resume_or_create_session() may belong to a different agent_id or contain a stale
client_id, which causes incorrect message routing later since responses use
session.client_id. Before storing the session in self._client_sessions, validate
that the returned session's agent_id matches the requested agent_id parameter,
and rebind the current client_id to the session to ensure the correct websocket
receives the replayed messages and subsequent responses.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Align the wire parser with HelloParams.

Line 982 reads protocol.{min,max} and Line 1023 reads caps, but the shared contract defines protocol_min, protocol_max, and capabilities. SDK clients serializing HelloParams will be treated as protocol v1 with no capabilities.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Validate and rebind resumed sessions before attaching this client.

resume_or_create_session() may return an existing session for a different agent_id and with an old client_id; after Line 1035, later responses use session.client_id, so resumed messages can be routed to the wrong websocket or expose another agent session.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Only advertise negotiated and implemented features.

Line 1039 advertises "abort", but this handler has no abort branch; streaming events are also advertised even when the client did not offer a streaming capability. That makes hello_ok.features unreliable for clients.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Report the configured heartbeat policy.

Line 1068 hard-codes heartbeat_ms to 15s even though gateway config loads heartbeat_interval; clients using the negotiated policy can self-configure to the wrong interval.

@claude You are the FINAL architecture reviewer. If the branch is under MervinPraison/PraisonAI (not a fork), you are able to make modifications to this branch and push directly. SCOPE: Focus ONLY on Python packages (praisonaiagents, praisonai). Do NOT modify praisonai-rust or praisonai-ts. Read ALL comments above from Gemini, Qodo, CodeRabbit, and Copilot carefully before responding.

Phase 1: Review per AGENTS.md

  1. Protocol-driven: check heavy implementations vs core SDK
  2. Backward compatible: ensure zero feature regressions
  3. Performance: no hot-path regressions

Phase 2: FIX Valid Issues
4. For any VALID bugs or architectural flaws found by Gemini, CodeRabbit, Qodo, Copilot, or any other reviewer: implement the fix
5. Push all code fixes directly to THIS branch (do NOT create a new PR)
6. Comment a summary of exact files modified and what you skipped

Phase 3: Final Verdict
7. If all issues are resolved, approve the PR / close the Issue
8. If blocking issues remain, request changes / leave clear action items

Architecture Review Complete ✅

Phase 1: Review per AGENTS.md

  1. Protocol-driven: ✅ Correct - protocols defined in core SDK (praisonaiagents/gateway/protocols.py), heavy implementation in wrapper (praisonai/gateway/server.py)
  2. Backward compatible: ✅ Preserved - legacy join/joined flow intact
  3. Performance: ✅ No hot-path regressions - handshake is one-time per connection

Phase 2: Fixed Issues

Files Modified:

  • src/praisonai/praisonai/gateway/server.py

Issues Fixed:

  1. Fixed caps: null causing TypeError (P1) - Added None check and type validation
  2. Fixed wire parser field mismatches - Now supports both HelloParams format (protocol_min/max, capabilities) and legacy format
  3. Fixed hard-coded policy limits (P2) - Now uses config values (heartbeat_interval)
  4. Removed unused HelloParams import (P2)
  5. Added session validation and client_id rebinding - Prevents cross-agent session hijacking
  6. Only advertise implemented features - Removed non-existent "abort" method, made streaming conditional

Issues Skipped:
None - all valid issues from reviewers were addressed.

Phase 3: Final Verdict

PR Approved - All architectural and implementation issues have been resolved. The implementation correctly follows protocol-driven design with protocols in core SDK and heavy implementation in wrapper, maintains full backward compatibility, and introduces no performance regressions.

The versioned handshake protocol is now ready for merge.

P1 Null protocol_min/protocol_max causes unhandled TypeError

data.get("protocol_min", 1) returns None — not 1 — when the client explicitly sends "protocol_min": null, because .get() only substitutes its default when the key is absent. The same applies to protocol_max. The first comparison client_max < MIN_CLIENT_PROTOCOL_VERSION then raises TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'NoneType' and 'int', which propagates out of the hello handler and is swallowed by the outer WebSocket loop, silently dropping the connection instead of sending a hello_error to the client. This is the same class of null-vs-absent bug that was fixed for caps on line 1033 but was not applied here. Add a type/null guard immediately after extracting client_min/client_max, defaulting or rejecting non-integer values before any comparison.
