From 712d71aced7b551e8c160715e2e5e80c67ed50fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Molecule AI Fullstack Engineer Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 10:32:11 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] 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.

Fix the assertion to match actual (correct) behavior: ValueError is in the tag, stderr is the body. Also add a check that we don't fall back to the generic "workspace logs" form.
