Charles YaoandClaude Opus 5 38ef6178a6 fix(dify-builder): refuse to apply a repair that stages no intents
handle_await_repair offered "Apply the fix" unconditionally, so an empty
staged_repair produced approve -> apply nothing -> retest -> same failure
-> offer again, with no LLM in the loop. ESQ1-291's trace shows five such
approvals, every change set {count: 0, changes: []}.

Adds repair_attempts / last_repair_error to the context (both defaulted,
so persisted contexts deserialize unchanged) and _repair_is_repeating for
the follow-on gate. An empty staged repair is now declined with a decision
the user can act on instead of a run that cannot help.

_repair_is_repeating is also wired in at the point a repair is OFFERED
(the config-failure path in handle_test_and_repair, right after
diagnose()): a third identical failure clears staged_repair and surfaces
a "Repeated failure" card instead of proposing a fourth repair
(ESQ1-285/290 burned nine and six approvals this way).

Also catalogs the two new user-facing literals in core/dify_builder/
strings.py so test_catalog_covers_handler_literals keeps passing.

Dify Backend API

Setup and Run

Important

In the v1.3.0 release, poetry has been replaced with uv as the package manager for Dify API backend service.

uv and pnpm are required to run the setup and development commands below.

The scripts resolve paths relative to their location, so you can run them from anywhere.

  1. Run setup (copies env files and installs dependencies).

    ./dev/setup
    
  2. Review api/.env, web/.env.local, and docker/middleware.env values (see the SECRET_KEY note below).

  3. Start middleware (PostgreSQL/Redis/Weaviate).

    ./dev/start-docker-compose
    
  4. Start backend (runs migrations first).

    ./dev/start-api
    
  5. Start Dify web service.

    ./dev/start-web
    

    ./dev/setup and ./dev/start-web install JavaScript dependencies through the repository root workspace, so you do not need a separate cd web && pnpm install step.

  6. Set up your application by visiting http://localhost:3000.

  7. Start the worker service (async and scheduler tasks, runs from api).

    ./dev/start-worker
    
  8. Optional: start Celery Beat (scheduled tasks).

    ./dev/start-beat
    

Environment notes

Important

When the frontend and backend run on different subdomains, set COOKIE_DOMAIN to the site’s top-level domain (e.g., example.com). The frontend and backend must be under the same top-level domain in order to share authentication cookies.

  • Generate a SECRET_KEY in the .env file.

    bash for Linux

    sed -i "/^SECRET_KEY=/c\\SECRET_KEY=$(openssl rand -base64 42)" .env
    

    bash for Mac

    secret_key=$(openssl rand -base64 42)
    sed -i '' "/^SECRET_KEY=/c\\
    SECRET_KEY=${secret_key}" .env
    

Testing

  1. Install dependencies for both the backend and the test environment

    cd api
    uv sync --group dev
    
  2. Run the tests locally with mocked system environment variables in tool.pytest_env section in pyproject.toml, more can check AGENTS.md

    Continue in the api directory from the previous step.

    uv run pytest                           # Run all tests
    uv run pytest tests/unit_tests/         # Unit tests only
    uv run pytest tests/integration_tests/  # Integration tests
    
    # Code quality
    ../dev/reformat              # Run all formatters and linters
    uv run ruff check --fix ./   # Fix linting issues
    uv run ruff format ./        # Format code
    uv run pyrefly check         # Type checking
