LCORE-: Update widget system design - #2999
Conversation
- Add client/server conversation modes to widget-system.md: client mode (frontend-owned history) and server mode (LCS-persisted with compaction) - Replace run_shield_moderation_v2() with shield capability on the agent - Scope LCORE-4576 to client mode only, blocked on pydantic-ai migration - Extract OTEL tracing and server mode into separate proposed tickets - Use build_run_input() with forwardedProps instead of AGUIAdapter.from_request()
Add a proposed JIRA for building an end-to-end demo that teams can use to evaluate the /agui endpoint and learn from as a reference implementation.
WalkthroughThe design documents define client mode as the default and server mode as the option for persisted history and compaction. They also update shield moderation behavior and separate implementation, tracing, and demo work into distinct tickets. ChangesWidget-system design

client-selected server.

to specify `mode` as an AG-UI extension field, not part of `forwardedProps`.

Specify the forwardedProps security boundary.
forwardedProps is frontend-controlled and can influence model selection and MCP server hints. validate_model_provider_override checks only the Action.MODEL_OVERRIDE permission. check_mcp_auth probes configured MCP servers but does not authorize a client-selected server. Define an allowlisted schema and require tenant-scoped validation before build_agent() or tool resolution.

Add the server-mode dependency to the AG-UI E2E work.
LCORE-4577 requires conversation-persistence scenarios, but LCORE-4576 is client-mode only and has no persistence. LCORE-5145 is the ticket that adds persistence, while LCORE-4578 is blocked only by LCORE-4577 and LCORE-4576. Add LCORE-5145 to the E2E implementation dependency or remove/defer the persistence scenarios.

Define the wire location for mode.
The design defines client and server modes and sets client mode as the default. However, neither document specifies where mode is encoded in RunAgentInput or how the request validates it. State whether it is an AG-UI extension or part of forwardedProps, and document the validation.

Scope server-mode conversations to the authenticated user.
Server mode loads and appends history using a frontend-controlled threadId mapped to conversation_id. Require the authenticated user_id for both operations. Do not use threadId as the sole access key. Otherwise, a caller who obtains another valid threadId can access or modify that conversation.

Align the blocked-shield event contract.
The shield section promises a normal text response, but the error table specifies a RunError event. Update the table and acceptance tests to define one contract. Existing capability tests do not establish AG-UI event conversion.

Description
Updated the AG-UI widget system design and spike docs to introduce client/server conversation modes, replace run_shield_moderation_v2() with the shield capability integrated into the pydantic-ai agent, and scope the LCORE-4576 implementation ticket to client mode only (blocked on pydantic-ai migration) while extracting OTEL tracing and server mode into separate tickets. Also added a proposed JIRA for an end-to-end demo using CopilotKit, Lightspeed Stack's /agui endpoint, and an MCP server to give teams a practical reference for evaluating and adopting the AG-UI endpoint.
