From 7290d9727f6cb7718fe5181a721612eebe27e079 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Molecule AI Fullstack Engineer Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 10:32:11 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] fix(workspace): include ~1KB sanitized stderr in A2A error responses MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Adds an optional `stderr` parameter to sanitize_agent_error(). When provided, up to 1 KB of stderr text is included in the A2A error response after sanitization (API keys / bearer tokens ≥20 chars / long paths redacted). The existing generic form is preserved when stderr is absent. Updates both the main a2a_executor and the google-adk adapter. Closes: roadmap item — SDK executor stderr swallowing.
