DATA 6de0bf9f5b Initial commit: hardened DeerFlow factory
Vendored deer-flow upstream (bytedance/deer-flow) plus prompt-injection
hardening:

- New deerflow.security package: content_delimiter, html_cleaner,
  sanitizer (8 layers — invisible chars, control chars, symbols, NFC,
  PUA, tag chars, horizontal whitespace collapse with newline/tab
  preservation, length cap)
- New deerflow.community.searx package: web_search, web_fetch,
  image_search backed by a private SearX instance, every external
  string sanitized and wrapped in <<<EXTERNAL_UNTRUSTED_CONTENT>>>
  delimiters
- All native community web providers (ddg_search, tavily, exa,
  firecrawl, jina_ai, infoquest, image_search) replaced with hard-fail
  stubs that raise NativeWebToolDisabledError at import time, so a
  misconfigured tool.use path fails loud rather than silently falling
  back to unsanitized output
- Native client back-doors (jina_client.py, infoquest_client.py)
  stubbed too
- Native-tool tests quarantined under tests/_disabled_native/
  (collect_ignore_glob via local conftest.py)
- Sanitizer Layer 7 fix: only collapse horizontal whitespace, preserve
  newlines and tabs so list/table structure survives
- Hardened runtime config.yaml references only the searx-backed tools
- Factory overlay (backend/) kept in sync with deer-flow tree as a
  reference / source

Memory Settings Review

Use this when reviewing the Memory Settings add/edit flow locally with the fewest possible manual steps.

Quick Review

  1. Start DeerFlow locally using any working development setup you already use.

    Examples:

    make dev
    

    or

    make docker-start
    

    If you already have DeerFlow running locally, you can reuse that existing setup.

  2. Load the sample memory fixture.

    python scripts/load_memory_sample.py
    
  3. Open Settings > Memory.

    Default local URLs:

    • App: http://localhost:2026
    • Local frontend-only fallback: http://localhost:3000

Minimal Manual Test

  1. Click Add fact.
  2. Create a new fact with:
    • Content: Reviewer-added memory fact
    • Category: testing
    • Confidence: 0.88
  3. Confirm the new fact appears immediately and shows Manual as the source.
  4. Edit the sample fact This sample fact is intended for edit testing. and change it to:
    • Content: This sample fact was edited during manual review.
    • Category: testing
    • Confidence: 0.91
  5. Confirm the edited fact updates immediately.
  6. Refresh the page and confirm both the newly added fact and the edited fact still persist.

Optional Sanity Checks

  • Search Reviewer-added and confirm the new fact is matched.
  • Search workflow and confirm category text is searchable.
  • Switch between All, Facts, and Summaries.
  • Delete the disposable sample fact Delete fact testing can target this disposable sample entry. and confirm the list updates immediately.
  • Clear all memory and confirm the page enters the empty state.

Fixture Files

  • Sample fixture: backend/docs/memory-settings-sample.json
  • Default local runtime target: backend/.deer-flow/memory.json

The loader script creates a timestamped backup automatically before overwriting an existing runtime memory file.
