+# Call4Agents
+
+Call4Agents makes the actions of a Python agent safe to retry. You add it to the agent you already
+have: LangGraph, Pydantic AI, the OpenAI Agents SDK, or plain Python. It does not replace any of them.
+
+- **Once-only actions.** A crash, a retry or a resume does not send the same email or payment twice.
+- **Approvals bound to exact arguments.** A "yes" to `pay(10, alice)` cannot run `pay(9999, mallory)`.
+  A "yes" covers one action, and a later "no" is enforced.
+- **Idempotency keys for outside APIs.** The same key across crashes and resumes, so the payment API
+  itself can drop the duplicate.
+- **Record, replay, diff.** Rerun a recorded run offline with zero model calls, and find the step where
+  two runs (for example two models) begin to differ.
+
+Version 0.1, early. Standard library only, zero dependencies. Apache-2.0.
+
+**Tested on every change** ([tests.yml](.github/workflows/tests.yml)). These are the only systems we claim:
+
+| | Python 3.10 | Python 3.11 | Python 3.12 | Python 3.13 |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Linux (GitHub `ubuntu-latest`) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
+| macOS (GitHub `macos-latest`) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
+| Windows (GitHub `windows-latest`) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
+
+With the real frameworks, on all three systems with Python 3.12: LangGraph (+ LangChain), Pydantic AI and
+the OpenAI Agents SDK. CI installs the latest release of each, and each run prints the exact versions
+with `call4agents doctor`.
+
+## Try it (under a minute, offline, no API keys)
+
+```bash
+pip install call4agents
+call4agents quickstart
+```
+
+`quickstart` runs a plain-Python demo. Then, for each of LangGraph, Pydantic AI and the OpenAI
+Agents SDK that is installed, it runs a real crash and resume in that framework, using a fake model.
+Each framework is run once without Call4Agents and once with it. Output on our machine (Windows 10,
+Python 3.12, all three installed):
+
+```
+Plain Python - crash right after an email is sent, then resume:
+  without the run record                        emails sent: 2
+  with the run record (crash after the tool)    emails sent: 1
+  with the run record (crash inside the tool)   emails sent: 1 (refused to resend: in doubt)
+  "yes" to pay(10, alice), call changed to pay(9999, mallory): REFUSED; approved call: PAID; payments: 1
+
+Frameworks found: LangGraph, Pydantic AI, OpenAI Agents SDK
+  LangGraph          crash after the email, resume:  without call4agents 2 emails,  with call4agents 1
+  Pydantic AI        crash after the email, resume:  without call4agents 2 emails,  with call4agents 1
+  OpenAI Agents SDK  crash after the email, resume:  without call4agents 2 emails,  with call4agents 1
+```
+
+With no framework installed, only the plain-Python part runs (about 5 seconds on our machine). To see
+the framework rows, install them first: `pip install langgraph langgraph-checkpoint-sqlite pydantic-ai
+openai-agents` (about 75 seconds in a fresh virtual environment).
+
+`call4agents selftest` checks the demo results. Run it from the root of a repository checkout to run the
+full offline suites instead (kit, production, stress and idempotency checks).
+
+Found a problem, or something missing? `call4agents doctor` prints your system and framework versions
+(it sends nothing). Paste it into an [issue](https://github.com/salahmakboul/call4agents/issues/new/choose).
+
+## When you need it
+
+- Your agent sends emails, payments, tickets or database writes, and a crash, a timeout retry or a
+  resume from a checkpoint can repeat them.
+- A person approves an action, and the arguments can change before it runs, for example through an
+  edited saved state or a model asked again after a restart.
+- A person double-clicks "approve", or two workers pick up the same approved task.
+- You call an API that supports `Idempotency-Key` (Stripe, Adyen and others) and want a crash
+  half-way through to be retried safely instead of needing a person.
+- You switch model or provider and want to see which tool calls changed before you release.
+
+You probably do not need it if your agent only reads data, or if every action already runs inside
+a durable workflow engine that gives you these guarantees.
+
+## How to use it
+
+```python
+import call4agents as c4a
+
+c4a.init()                                     # creates .c4a/ledger.sqlite and .c4a/secret
+
+@c4a.effect                                    # once per (run, tool, exact arguments)
+def send_email(to, body): ...
+
+@c4a.effect(approval=True)                     # also needs a "yes" for these exact arguments
+def pay(amount, to): ...
+
+@c4a.effect(idempotent_for=24 * 3600)          # the API remembers keys for 24 h (Stripe v1)
+def charge(amount, to):
+    return requests.post(URL, json={"amount": amount, "to": to},
+                         headers=c4a.idempotency_headers()).json()
+
+@c4a.recorded                                  # model calls, for replay and diff
+def ask_model(prompt): ...
+
+with c4a.run("thread-42"):                     # use the id your framework resumes with
+    send_email("bob", "hi")
+    send_email("bob", "hi")                    # same action: returns the recorded result, sends nothing
+    send_email("bob", "hi", c4a_key="second")  # a deliberate second identical action
+    c4a.approve(pay, amount=10, to="alice")    # when the person says yes to what they SAW
+    pay(amount=10, to="alice")
+```
+
+Rules worth knowing before you start:
+- **Always inside `c4a.run(...)`.** An action or approval outside a run raises `RuntimeError`. New threads
+  do not inherit the run, so enter `c4a.run` in the thread (or use `contextvars.copy_context().run`).
+- **A tool is identified by module + function name** (`billing.charge`). If you move or rename the
+  function between deploys, a resumed run sees a new tool. Give long-lived tools a fixed `name="charge"`.
+- **Arguments need a stable text form**: numbers, strings, lists, dicts, sets, dataclasses, Pydantic models.
+  An object that prints its memory address raises `TypeError`; pass `c4a_key=` instead. For methods,
+  `self` is not part of the key.
+- **If the function raises**, the action may or may not have happened (a timeout after the charge
+  raises too). The next call raises `EffectInDoubt` and names the error. List errors that prove nothing
+  happened with `retry_on=(ConnectionRefusedError,)`; after those, the next call runs the action again.
+
+**LangGraph and LangChain.**
+- `from call4agents.adapters import langgraph as c4a_lg`.
+- Use `@c4a_lg.effect` in nodes or tools.
+- Call `c4a_lg.approve(tool, config, **shown_args)` when an interrupt is answered, or `c4a_lg.deny(...)`.
+- The thread id becomes the run id.
+
+**Pydantic AI, the OpenAI Agents SDK, plain Python.** Decorate the tool function with `@c4a.effect` and
+wrap the run in `c4a.run(<your session or conversation id>)`. You can see working code for each framework
+in [call4agents/examples/crash_resume.py](call4agents/examples/crash_resume.py).
+
+## How it works
+
+The kit's whole state is one local SQLite file, which we call the run record. Entries are only ever
+added to it, never changed or deleted.
+
+1. **Before** a decorated action runs, an *intent* is written: run id, tool name, and a hash of the
+   exact arguments. A unique index lets only one caller write the intent for the same action, so
+   simultaneous callers cannot both start it.
+2. **After** it returns, the *result* is written. A later call of the same action gets that result back
+   and the action does not run again.
+3. If the process dies **between** the two writes, nobody knows whether the action happened. The kit
+   raises `EffectInDoubt` instead of guessing. You can resolve it in two ways:
+   - `reconcile=` asks the outside system whether the action happened;
+   - `idempotent_for=` lets the kit resend it with the same key while the API still remembers that key
+     ([docs/IDEMPOTENCY.md](docs/IDEMPOTENCY.md)).
+4. **Approvals.** An approval is an HMAC, made with a local secret, over the tool name and its exact
+   arguments, and it is scoped to the run. Each approval can be spent by one action only. A later `deny`
+   cancels it.
+5. **Replay.** `c4a.init(replay_from="old.sqlite")` returns recorded model calls and results without
+   calling anything. They come back as the same Python types, including Pydantic models and dataclasses.
+   `call4agents diff a.sqlite b.sqlite` shows the step where two runs start to differ.
+
+## Commands
+
+| Command | What it does |
+|---|---|
+| `call4agents quickstart` | the demo plus a crash and resume in each installed framework |
+| `call4agents demo` | the plain-Python demo only |
+| `call4agents selftest` | the kit's checks (in a repository checkout, the full offline suites) |
+| `call4agents doctor` | system and framework versions for a bug report; prints only, sends nothing |
+| `call4agents status <record>` | rows, actions, actions in doubt, integrity |
+| `call4agents doubt <record> [--fail-if-any]` | every action that may or may not have happened (exit 3 if any, for alerts) |
+| `call4agents resolve <record> <key> done\|not-done "note"` | decide one in-doubt action; stored as a new row with your note |
+| `call4agents archive <record> <archive> <days>` | move finished runs older than N days to another file |
+| `call4agents verify <record>` | integrity, format version, late results |
+| `call4agents diff a.sqlite b.sqlite [run_id]` | the step where two recorded runs start to differ |
+| `call4agents prove spec.json` | puts each bug back and checks that your guard catches it |
+
+`python -m call4agents ...` works the same way.
+
+## In production
+
+[docs/PRODUCTION.md](docs/PRODUCTION.md) covers the rest:
+- costs: a new action is 1.9 ms (median) on our machine, a repeated one 45 µs;
+- the big test, with 12 processes, random kills and a payment API that drops answers: 0 double charges,
+  against 244 of 300 orders without the kit;
+- secret rotation, archiving, what the record stores, every error message and what to do;
+- a guide for whoever is on call.
+
+## Measured in each framework
+
+You can rerun every number in this table. The tests use fake models, fake tools and real process kills.
+
+| Case | LangGraph | Pydantic AI | OpenAI Agents SDK | How to check |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Crash after the email, then resume: emails sent without the kit | 2 | 2 | 2 | `call4agents quickstart` |
+| The same with Call4Agents | **1** | **1** | **1** | `call4agents quickstart` |
+| With Call4Agents: timeout retry after the email | **1** | – | – | `python -m tests.framework_kill_langgraph` |
+| With Call4Agents: model asked again after a restart (approved 10, now says 12) | **refused** | – | – | same |
+| With Call4Agents: LangChain human-in-the-loop, saved state edited to 9999 → mallory | **refused** | – | – | same |
+
+A dash means the case was not tested in that framework.
+
+## What is proven and what is not
+
+**Proven by tests in this repository** (`tests/`):
+- the table above;
+- the big test (`python -m tests.bigtest_c4a`). 12 processes are killed at random while they charge
+  300 orders through a payment API that drops and delays answers. The result is 0 double charges.
+  Without the kit, the same run charges 244 of 300 orders twice or more;
+- an action resumed in 3 new processes, as a method with a set argument, runs once;
+- 14 simultaneous callers of one action: it runs once;
+- 8 simultaneous actions on one "yes": exactly one runs;
+- 3,000 of 3,000 records from 20 parallel writers;
+- 5 kills during writes left the file intact;
+- a crash after a payment API charged, then a resume with the idempotency key: 1 charge, and the
+  original charge is returned;
+- replay returns the same types, including real Pydantic and OpenAI SDK objects.
+
+Each guard is mutation-tested: when its bug is put back, its check fails. A no-op control is run
+next to every batch of mutations. Rerun them with `python -m tests.mutations.run_kit_mutations`.
+
+**Not proven:**
+- real payment or email systems, and production traffic;
+- systems and Python versions not listed at the top of this page;
+- several machines sharing one run record (once-only holds for processes that share the file);
+- an independent code review;
+- adapters other than LangGraph (the decorator itself works in any framework).
+
+## Costs and limits
+
+- A crash *during* an action is not resolved for you. You get `EffectInDoubt` unless you use `reconcile=`
+  or `idempotent_for=`. Most frameworks would simply run the action again.
+- A refused approval means the action does not run. Your app has to ask the person again.
+- You decorate each action yourself, and call `approve` with the arguments the person saw.
+- Replaying a recorded run that contains approval-gated actions needs the approvals again in the
+  new run record (`c4a.approve(...)` before the replayed call).
+- If the model rewrites the arguments on a retry (`10` becomes `10.00`), the call is treated as a new
+  action. Pass `c4a_key=` (for example, an order id) when that can happen.
+- The secret in `.c4a/secret` protects approvals from anyone who cannot read that file. It does not
+  protect them from someone who can (see [docs/THREAT_MODEL.md](docs/THREAT_MODEL.md)).
