api pods lose their logs on restart, so a failed build's real cause
("Workflow generator: structural validation failed: ...") could only be read
from a pod log that may already be gone. Session 01a08fd0 hit exactly that.
Carry the generator's own diagnostics back with the result instead:
BuildNodesResult and ErrorCard gain a ``diagnostics`` list, and build_nodes
records one entry per failed generation attempt -- initial AND the corrective
retry, so an error that changes between attempts stays visible -- plus the
all-rejected and exception paths.
Each entry holds a server-side UTC ``at`` (so the surviving pod-log window can
be searched around it), ``source``, ``attempt``, the generator's ``message``
(the same text the server logs), its ``codes``, and the full structured
``errors`` including ``node_id``. That is strictly more than the log line
carries: for an UNRESOLVED_REFERENCE the export now names the offending node.
The list rides in the ErrorCard's item payload, which is what the streamed
conversation item -- and therefore the exported debug log -- preserves. It is
not rendered in the UI. Retries that eventually succeed keep their breadcrumbs.
Deliberately not mirroring the "structural validation failed" prefix: build.py
cannot tell structural failures from the rest without duplicating the
generator's code taxonomy, which would go stale.

Dify Backend API
Setup and Run
Important
In the v1.3.0 release,
poetryhas been replaced withuvas the package manager for Dify API backend service.
uv and pnpm are required to run the setup and development commands below.
Using scripts (recommended)
The scripts resolve paths relative to their location, so you can run them from anywhere.
-
Run setup (copies env files and installs dependencies).
./dev/setup -
Review
api/.env,web/.env.local, anddocker/middleware.envvalues (see theSECRET_KEYnote below). -
Start middleware (PostgreSQL/Redis/Weaviate).
./dev/start-docker-compose -
Start backend (runs migrations first).
./dev/start-api -
Start Dify web service.
./dev/start-web./dev/setupand./dev/start-webinstall JavaScript dependencies through the repository root workspace, so you do not need a separatecd web && pnpm installstep. -
Set up your application by visiting
http://localhost:3000. -
Start the worker service (async and scheduler tasks, runs from
api)../dev/start-worker -
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_KEYin the.envfile.bash for Linux
sed -i "/^SECRET_KEY=/c\\SECRET_KEY=$(openssl rand -base64 42)" .envbash for Mac
secret_key=$(openssl rand -base64 42) sed -i '' "/^SECRET_KEY=/c\\ SECRET_KEY=${secret_key}" .env
Testing
-
Install dependencies for both the backend and the test environment
cd api uv sync --group dev -
Run the tests locally with mocked system environment variables in
tool.pytest_envsection inpyproject.toml, more can check Claude.mdContinue in the
