GatewaySession briefly in an inconsistent state
GatewaySession constructs with an unbounded asyncio.Queue() default and relies on a separate setup_inbox() call to install the bounded queue. Any code that constructs GatewaySession directly (rather than through GatewayServer.create_session) will silently get an unbounded inbox regardless of config. Moving the bounded queue creation into __post_init__ or accepting max_inbox as a constructor argument would prevent this footgun in the real implementation.

Landing a prototype at the root of the repo risks it being treated as a production artifact, imported accidentally, or left behind indefinitely. Consider placing it under examples/ or docs/ alongside any other reference implementations, or making it part of the test suite.
Note: If this suggestion doesn't match your team's coding style, reply to this and let me know. I'll remember it for next time!

_is_executing gets stuck True because no processing path is started.
At Line 108, execution is marked active, but the success path returns at Line 123 without draining the queue or clearing the flag. After the first message, later calls always take the queueing branch and can hit false inbox_full rejection.

@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

Phase 1: Architecture Review✅ Protocol-driven design: Configuration properly placed in core SDK (praisonaiagents), implementation pattern shown in prototype for wrapper layer. ✅ Backward compatibility: Default values maintain existing behavior (max_inbox=256, max_buffered_bytes=1MB). ✅ Performance: No hot-path regression in config, prototype logic bug fixed. Phase 2: Fixes ImplementedAll critical issues identified by reviewers have been fixed in commit aafc19e:
Phase 3: Final Verdict✅ APPROVED - This PR successfully implements backpressure and slow-consumer flow control for the gateway:

asyncio.create_task is called but its return value is discarded. Per the Python docs, the event loop holds only a weak reference to tasks, so the GC can collect the drain task before it finishes if no other strong reference exists. Concretely: if the heap is under memory pressure while _drain_session_queue is awaiting asyncio.sleep or _send_to_client, the task disappears, _is_executing is never reset (the finally block doesn't run), and that session's queue is permanently stalled. Store the task on the session or in a set so a strong reference is kept until completion.
