Cross-endpoint regression validation with the exact PR image (
All requests were forced through The three local failures were fail-closed citation-integrity failures and were prompt-independent across repeats: prompts that failed in one run passed in another. This matches the stochastic format-adherence behavior seen in the earlier local baseline rather than a deterministic regression. Citation success therefore shows no regression and remains above the 80% acceptance gate on both endpoints. Latency is somewhat higher than the earlier sample (IH p50 10.15s -> 14.60s; local p50 7.85s -> 9.12s), so this evidence should not be used to claim latency neutrality. |

Learning: In Python logging code that handles potentially sensitive exceptions, do not add `exc_info=True` solely to restore stack traces, because standard traceback formatting includes `str(exception)` and may expose provider, customer, or credential-bearing content. When sensitive-content redaction is required, log the exception type together with `log_content_metadata(exception)` instead.

Learning: In agent test files (e.g., tests/aiq_agent/agents/*/test_agent.py), avoid brittle assertions that match exact substrings from prompt template files (such as *.j2 prompt wording). Prompt wording can change frequently, so instead assert structural/behavioral properties (e.g., that the prompt builder is called, that required sections/fields are present via stable markers, that the model output/agent behavior conforms to an expected schema, or that key actions are taken) rather than matching literal prompt text.

Learning: In `src/aiq_agent/agents/chat_researcher/agent.py`, `ChatResearcherAgent.validate_deep_research_tools_fn` is an injected validator contract whose returned `error_msg` can contain arbitrary sensitive text. Return `error_msg` to the caller when required, but use `log_content_metadata(error_msg)` for production logging so centralized logs do not contain the diagnostic content.

Learning: In agent test files (e.g., tests/aiq_agent/agents/*/test_agent.py), avoid brittle assertions that match exact substrings from prompt template files (such as *.j2 prompt wording). Prompt wording can change frequently, so instead assert structural/behavioral properties (e.g., that the prompt builder is called, that required sections/fields are present via stable markers, that the model output/agent behavior conforms to an expected schema, or that key actions are taken) rather than matching literal prompt text.

When sensitive-content redaction is required, log the exception type together with `log_content_metadata(exception)` instead.

Timestamp: 2026-07-01T23:47:04.217Z
Learning: In `src/aiq_agent/agents/deep_researcher/sandbox/base.py` (`SandboxProvider`), `cleanup_succeeded` is intentionally cumulative/sticky across the provider's lifetime rather than resettable: once `_cleanup_failed` is set to True (e.g., a stale session's close() fails during `_reset_session()`), it stays True even if a later terminal `close()`/`terminate()` on a replacement session succeeds. This is fail-closed by design — a stale-session close failure means the previously owned physical OpenShell sandbox's deletion was never confirmed, so a later successful cleanup of a different session must not mask that earlier unconfirmed deletion. This is covered by `test_retry_cleanup_failure_remains_terminal_failure` in `tests/aiq_agent/agents/deep_researcher/sandbox/test_openshell_provider.py`, which asserts `DeepAgentsRuntime.finalize()` remains `False` in this scenario with only `started`/`failed` cleanup events emitted.

I revalidated these paths against the current PR head with focused deterministic reproductions. The inline comments are written as implementation suggestions. Findings 1, 2, 4, and 5 arise from this PR; finding 3 is an existing shallow-research behavior that conflicts with this PR's stated no-uncited-fallback guarantee; finding 6 is an optional compatibility safeguard for direct callers of the preceding release candidate.

…search (#446) #### Overview Document the known shallow citation-output limitation observed when Nemotron 3.5 Lightning is served through NVIDIA API Catalog, while preserving the shipped `release/2.2` runtime and default model assignments. AI-Q verifies shallow drafts against captured source identities and fails closed rather than publishing citation-incomplete or malformed answers. The behavior is serving-profile dependent: the tested self-hosted NVFP4 vLLM profile did not reproduce it at the same rate. This PR makes that deployment boundary explicit in every shipped Lightning-backed shallow config and in the relevant user guides. The Brev getting-started notebook is the only active model-assignment change. It keeps Lightning for intent classification, assigns the validated Ultra shallow profile, and retains a commented self-hosted Lightning alternative. The Ultra profile enables thinking with temperature `0.2`, top-p `0.7`, 8192 output tokens, no parallel tool calls, five model retries, 20 LLM turns, and five tool iterations. Its Tavily tool uses five results, three retries, and basic search. General-purpose configs continue to use Lightning for shallow research. The user impact is limited to the Brev launchable path: its shallow answers favor reliability over Lightning's lower-latency profile. No agent runtime, citation verification, package, image, or canonical config behavior changes. #### DCO sign-off for the squash commit Signed-off-by: Ajay Thorve <athorve@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Ajay Thorve <20476096+AjayThorve@users.noreply.github.com> #### Validation - `uv run pytest -q tests/aiq_agent/test_default_model_profiles.py` — 24 passed.

Overview
Nemotron 3.5 Lightning usually omits citations in its initial shallow-research draft. The rc10 citation-integrity fix therefore invoked a second, one-shot LLM repair on nearly every request. On NVIDIA Build, that repair frequently exceeded its hard-coded 60-second timeout and converted otherwise successful research into a failed workflow.
This change removes the latency-sensitive citation-repair pass and makes citation-complete generation part of the primary shallow-research flow:
The upfront and post-search prompts also require the model to verify assumed events, relationships, counts, titles, and entities, and to directly correct unsupported premises rather than substitute a related fact.
Citation verification remains authoritative. This PR removes the repair LLM call; it does not weaken the publication invariant or publish an uncited fallback.

Validation
Focused shallow-research tests:
Broader citation and source-registry tests:
Targeted Ruff validation:
Commit hooks passed for the final two commits, including Ruff, formatting, merge-conflict, large-file, whitespace, and secret checks.
NVIDIA Build forced-shallow benchmark using the same 15 prompts, submitted serially through the async-job API with
agent_type=shallow_researcher:CitationIntegrityError, not a repair timeout.This benchmark validates the release-blocking publication reliability and latency path. It is not a claim of semantic-answer parity: source relevance remains model-dependent, with the bounded retry and premise-verification prompt reducing but not eliminating irrelevant evidence selection.
The local Inference Hub endpoint override used during comparison testing is intentionally excluded from this PR.

Start with
src/aiq_agent/agents/shallow_researcher/agent.py, specifically the post-tool relevance/synthesis decision, the two-call budget, and current-turn registry reconstruction inrun(). Then review the behavioral coverage intests/aiq_agent/agents/shallow_researcher/test_agent.pyfor irrelevant results, tool failures, stale session/input evidence, malformed citations, and fail-closed behavior.The central design decision is to make the primary generation path citation-complete while retaining exactly one bounded research retry. There is no citation-repair LLM call and no uncited fallback.
