Fixes #2130

Summary

This PR implements protocol version negotiation and resilient reconnection capabilities for the gateway, addressing the lack of version negotiation and the absence of a reconnecting client.

Changes

Core SDK (praisonaiagents/gateway/protocols.py)

  • Added protocol version constants (PROTOCOL_VERSION, MIN_PROTOCOL_VERSION, MAX_PROTOCOL_VERSION)
  • Added TypedDict classes for protocol negotiation (ProtocolHello, ProtocolHelloOk)
  • Added sequence number field to GatewayEvent for gap detection
  • Added GapInfo and ResumeSnapshot types for complete reconnection state

Wrapper Server (praisonai/gateway/server.py)

  • Implemented protocol version negotiation in join handshake
  • Added sequence numbering to events for gap detection
  • Enhanced resume response with presence snapshot and health status
  • Server now rejects incompatible client versions cleanly

Wrapper Client (praisonai/gateway/client.py)

  • Created new GatewayClient with automatic reconnection
  • Implemented exponential backoff with configurable jitter
  • Added gap detection via sequence numbers with callback
  • Supports cursor-based event resumption on reconnect
  • Provides connection state callbacks

Key Features

  1. Protocol Version Negotiation: Client and server negotiate the highest common version or reject cleanly with typed error
  2. Resilient Reconnection: Automatic reconnect with exponential backoff, preserving session and cursor state
  3. Gap Detection: Monotonic sequence numbers detect missed events, fires callback for resync decision
  4. Resume Completeness: Single round-trip restores events, presence, health, and session state

Testing

The implementation follows the protocol-driven design with contracts in core SDK and heavy implementations in wrapper. All changes are backward compatible - existing clients without version negotiation continue to work.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds protocol version negotiation and event sequence tracking to the PraisonAI gateway. protocols.py gains version constants, handshake TypedDicts, and a sequence field on GatewayEvent. The server join handler validates version ranges and enriches the joined response. A new GatewayClient in praisonai/gateway/client.py provides automatic reconnection with exponential backoff, cursor-based resumption, and gap detection.

Changes

Gateway Protocol Negotiation & Reconnecting Client

Layer / File(s) Summary
Protocol contracts: sequence field, version constants, and TypedDicts
src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/gateway/protocols.py, src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/gateway/__init__.py
GatewayEvent gets an optional sequence field with updated to_dict/from_dict; PROTOCOL_VERSION, MIN_PROTOCOL_VERSION, MAX_PROTOCOL_VERSION, ProtocolHello, ProtocolHelloOk, GapInfo, and ResumeSnapshot are added and re-exported from the agents gateway package.
Server join handler: version negotiation and sequence annotation
src/praisonai/praisonai/gateway/server.py
GatewaySession gains _sequence and _protocol_version fields; add_event stamps event.sequence; the join handler rejects incompatible version ranges with a typed error or stores the negotiated version and returns an enriched joined payload including sequence, protocol versions, presence snapshot, and health.
GatewayClient: reconnect loop, handshake, gap detection, and public API
src/praisonai/praisonai/gateway/client.py, src/praisonai/praisonai/gateway/__init__.py
Introduces BackoffConfig, ConnectionState, and GatewayClient with a reconnect loop using exponential backoff and jitter, _connect_once for version handshake and cursor-based resumption, _receive_loop for message dispatch, _handle_event for gap detection, plus disconnect/send/events/resync public methods. GatewayClient and BackoffConfig are lazy-loaded and exported from the praisonai gateway __init__.

Greptile Summary

This PR adds protocol version negotiation between client and server and introduces a new GatewayClient with automatic reconnection, exponential backoff, cursor-based resumption, and sequence-number gap detection. The server-side changes and protocol type definitions are clean and backward compatible; the new client has two logic bugs that need attention before it is production-ready.

  • disconnect() raises unexpectedly after a negotiation failure: when the background _connect_task exits with a stored ValueError, await self._connect_task inside disconnect() re-raises it — only asyncio.CancelledError is caught, so any teardown after a version mismatch will throw.
  • Out-of-order/duplicate events corrupt the sequence counter: _expected_sequence is overwritten even when the received sequence is lower than expected, making every subsequent event appear as a gap and causing misleading "missed -N events" log entries.

Confidence Score: 3/5

The server changes are safe to merge, but the new GatewayClient has two logic bugs that would manifest in real usage: teardown after a protocol rejection crashes, and duplicate/out-of-order replayed events permanently corrupt the gap-detection counter.

The server-side negotiation and the core SDK types are straightforward additions. All problems are in the new client.py. Calling disconnect() after any version-rejection attempt raises an unhandled ValueError from what is supposed to be a clean shutdown method. The sequence counter regression on out-of-order events means every event after a replay could be flagged as a gap, causing spurious on_gap callbacks and potentially triggering unnecessary resyncs in production.

src/praisonai/praisonai/gateway/client.py — specifically the disconnect() task-await error handling and the _handle_event() sequence update logic.

Inline comments:
In `@src/praisonai/praisonai/gateway/client.py`:
- Around line 166-175: The connect() method's exception handler treats version
mismatch errors (ValueError raised by _connect_once()) the same as transient
connection errors, causing indefinite reconnection attempts for a non-retriable
failure. Add a specific exception handler before the generic Exception handler
to catch ValueError separately and immediately break the reconnection loop when
a version mismatch is detected, rather than continuing to retry. This way,
ValueError from _connect_once() will be treated as a terminal error while other
transient exceptions can still trigger reconnection attempts as intended.
- Around line 215-217: The join handshake in the WebSocket client is missing a
timeout when waiting for the server response via the self._ws.recv() call, which
can cause the code to block indefinitely. Add a timeout wrapper (such as
asyncio.wait_for() with an appropriate timeout value) around the self._ws.recv()
call to ensure that the join handshake fails gracefully if the server does not
complete the handshake within a reasonable timeframe.
- Around line 297-299: The cursor update logic uses a truthiness check with `if
cursor:` which incorrectly skips valid zero values since 0 evaluates to False in
Python. Change the condition to explicitly check if cursor is not None using `if
cursor is not None:` instead. This will properly distinguish between a missing
cursor value (None) and a legitimate zero cursor value, allowing the
self._cursor assignment to proceed for all valid cursor values including 0.

In `@src/praisonai/praisonai/gateway/server.py`:
- Around line 1008-1015: The joined message is sending the current
session._sequence value, but replayed events have older sequence numbers,
causing clients to detect false gaps. Adjust the sequence value sent in the
joined message payload to match the sequence of the first replayed event (or one
less than that) instead of using session._sequence directly. This ensures the
client's expected_sequence aligns with the replayed event stream and prevents
gap detection on valid replayed events. Apply this fix to all occurrences in the
method where sequence is being sent to clients (including the range around lines
1022-1027).
- Around line 964-981: The protocol version validation is missing type checking
for the min_version and max_version fields extracted from untrusted JSON data.
Before performing the range comparison using < and > operators on
client_min_version and client_max_version, add validation to ensure these values
are integers. If either value is not an integer or is missing, send the
version_unsupported error response instead of allowing an exception to be raised
during the comparison operation.
- Around line 57-58: The `_sequence` and `_protocol_version` attributes in the
gateway server class are not being serialized when persisting session state and
not being restored when resuming sessions, causing sequence numbering to restart
on reconnects. Identify the session serialization method (likely serialize() or
a similar persistence method) and add both `_sequence` and `_protocol_version`
to the serialized session data. Then locate the corresponding
deserialization/resume method and restore these attributes from the persisted
data, ensuring they maintain their values across reconnects to preserve
monotonic ordering.

Persist session sequence/protocol metadata when resuming sessions.

_sequence and _protocol_version are introduced but never serialized/restored, so resumed sessions can restart sequence numbering and violate monotonic ordering across reconnects.

`_sequence` and `_protocol_version` attributes in the gateway server class are
not being serialized when persisting session state and not being restored when
resuming sessions, causing sequence numbering to restart on reconnects. Identify
the session serialization method (likely serialize() or a similar persistence
method) and add both `_sequence` and `_protocol_version` to the serialized
session data. Then locate the corresponding deserialization/resume method and
restore these attributes from the persisted data, ensuring they maintain their
values across reconnects to preserve monotonic ordering.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Validate protocol version fields before range comparison.

min_version/max_version come from untrusted JSON. Non-integer values will raise during </> checks and drop the join flow via exception instead of returning a typed protocol error.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

joined.sequence is ahead of replay events, causing false gap detection.

You send joined.sequence = session._sequence and then replay older events. Clients initialize expected_sequence from joined and will report gaps on every replayed event.

Proposed fix
- "sequence": session._sequence,  # Current sequence for gap detection
+ "sequence": (replay_events[0].sequence - 1) if replay_events and replay_events[0].sequence is not None else session._sequence,

Also applies to: 1022-1027

joined message is sending the current session._sequence value, but replayed
events have older sequence numbers, causing clients to detect false gaps. Adjust
the sequence value sent in the joined message payload to match the sequence of
the first replayed event (or one less than that) instead of using
session._sequence directly. This ensures the client's expected_sequence aligns
with the replayed event stream and prevents gap detection on valid replayed
events. Apply this fix to all occurrences in the method where sequence is being
sent to clients (including the range around lines 1022-1027).

✅ Review Complete - All Issues Fixed

Architecture Compliance ✅

  • Protocol-driven design: Core protocols in praisonaiagents/gateway/protocols.py, heavy implementation in wrapper
  • Backward compatibility: Server gracefully handles old clients without version fields
  • No hot-path regressions: All changes are additive, no performance impact

Fixed Issues (commit 7807949)

  1. GatewayClient.connect() blocking - Now runs connection loop as background task
  2. version_unsupported infinite retry - ValueError treated as permanent failure
  3. Cursor zero value handling - Fixed to use is not None check
  4. Session persistence - Added sequence/protocol_version to serialization
  5. Protocol version validation - Added type checking for untrusted JSON
  6. Sequence gap detection - Aligned joined.sequence with replay events
  7. Unused imports - Removed time, field, GatewayMessage
  8. Join handshake timeout - Added 10s timeout to prevent indefinite blocking
  9. Reconnect attempts off-by-one - Fixed counter increment order

Files Modified

  • src/praisonai/praisonai/gateway/client.py - Fixed all client-side issues
  • src/praisonai/praisonai/gateway/server.py - Fixed session persistence and validation

Verdict

PR is ready to merge

All critical issues identified by reviewers have been resolved. The implementation follows protocol-driven design principles, maintains backward compatibility, and introduces no performance regressions.

- Fix GatewayClient.connect() to be non-blocking by running connection loop in background task
- Add ValueError catch for version_unsupported to prevent infinite retry on permanent errors
- Fix cursor update logic to handle zero values correctly (use 'is not None' check)
- Add session persistence for sequence and protocol_version fields
- Add protocol version validation with proper type checking for untrusted JSON
- Fix sequence number in joined message to align with replay events to prevent false gap detection
- Fix off-by-one error in reconnect attempts counter
- Add timeout to WebSocket join handshake to prevent indefinite blocking
- Remove unused imports (time, field, GatewayMessage)

P1 disconnect() re-raises the stored task exception, not just CancelledError

When the connection loop exits due to a permanent protocol version mismatch, _connect_task stores the ValueError as its result. Calling disconnect() later runs await self._connect_task, which re-raises that stored ValueError — but only asyncio.CancelledError is caught. Any caller of disconnect() will unexpectedly see a ValueError raised from a disconnect call, making clean teardown impossible after a negotiation failure.
