* feat(agent): add update_agent tool for in-chat custom-agent self-updates (#2616)
Custom agents had no built-in way to persist updates to their own SOUL.md /
config.yaml from a normal chat — `setup_agent` was only bound during the
bootstrap flow, so when the user asked the agent to refine its description
or personality, the agent would shell out via bash/write_file and the edits
landed in a temporary sandbox/tool workspace instead of
`{base_dir}/agents/{agent_name}/`.
Changes:
- New `update_agent` builtin tool with partial-update semantics (only the
fields you pass are written) and atomic temp-file + os.replace writes so
a failed update never corrupts existing SOUL.md / config.yaml.
- Lead agent now binds `update_agent` in the non-bootstrap path whenever
`agent_name` is set in the runtime context. Default agent (no
agent_name) and bootstrap flow are unchanged.
- New `<self_update>` system-prompt section is injected for custom agents,
instructing them to use `update_agent` — and explicitly NOT bash /
write_file — to persist self-updates.
- Tests: 11 new cases in `tests/test_update_agent_tool.py` covering
validation (missing/invalid agent_name, unknown agent, no fields),
partial updates (soul-only, description-only, skills=[] vs omitted),
no-op detection, atomic-write safety, and AgentConfig round-tripping;
plus 2 new cases in `tests/test_lead_agent_prompt.py` covering the
self-update prompt section.
- Docs: updated backend/CLAUDE.md builtin tools list and tools.mdx
(en/zh) with the new tool description.
* feat(agent): isolate custom agents per user
Store custom agent definitions under the effective user, keep legacy agents readable until migration, and cover API/tool/migration behavior with tests.
