+            If `None`, a system prompt is auto-generated with dynamic context
+            interpolated in (model identity, working directory, sandbox vs.
+            local execution mode, skills path, and interactive-vs-headless
+            guidance).
+
+            !!! warning
+
+                Passing a value here replaces that auto-generated prompt
+                entirely — none of the dynamic context above is added, and
+                `sandbox_type` and `interactive` no longer influence the
+                prompt. Only pass an explicit prompt when you intend to take
+                full ownership of the system prompt's content.
+        interactive: When `False`, the auto-generated system prompt is
+            tailored for headless non-interactive execution. Ignored when
+            `system_prompt` is provided explicitly.
+        auto_approve: If `True`, no tools trigger human-in-the-loop
+            interrupts — all calls (shell execution, file writes/edits,
+            web search, URL fetch) run automatically.
+
+            If `False`, tools pause for user confirmation via the approval menu.
+            See `_add_interrupt_on` for the full list of gated tools.
+        interrupt_shell_only: If `True`, all HITL interrupts are disabled;
+            shell commands are validated inline by `ShellAllowListMiddleware`
+            against the configured allow-list instead.
+
+            Used in non-interactive mode with a restrictive shell allow-list
+            to avoid splitting traces into multiple LangSmith runs.
+
+            Has no effect when `auto_approve` is `True` (interrupts are already
+            disabled) or when `shell_allow_list` is `SHELL_ALLOW_ALL`.
+        shell_allow_list: Explicit restrictive shell allow-list forwarded from
+            the CLI process. When provided (and `interrupt_shell_only` is
+            `True`), used directly instead of reading `settings.shell_allow_list`
+            (which may not be set in the server subprocess environment).
+        enable_ask_user: Enable `AskUserMiddleware` so the agent can ask
+            clarifying questions.
+
+            Disabled in non-interactive mode.
+        enable_memory: Enable `MemoryMiddleware` for persistent memory
+        memory_auto_save: When `True` (default), the memory prompt tells the
+            agent to proactively persist learnings to the `AGENTS.md` sources.
+
+            When `False`, memory is still loaded into context but the read-only
+            prompt is used instead, so the agent does not auto-save; explicit
+            saves (e.g. the `remember` skill) still work.
+
+            No effect when
+            `enable_memory` is `False`.
+        enable_skills: Enable `SkillsMiddleware` for custom agent skills
+        enable_shell: Enable shell execution via `LocalShellBackend`
+            (only in local mode). When enabled, the `execute` tool is available.
+        enable_interpreter: Wire `CodeInterpreterMiddleware` from
+            `langchain-quickjs` into the main agent.
+
+            Local-mode only — passing a non-`None` `sandbox` while
+            `enable_interpreter=True` raises `ValueError`. Subagents do not
+            receive the interpreter in v1.
+
+            PTC (`tools.*` host bridge) calls bypass `interrupt_on`/HITL
+            approval, so `settings.interpreter_ptc` is the only effective
+            control over which host tools can be invoked from inside the
+            REPL. `js_eval` itself is intentionally not gated by HITL —
+            per-call approval would be unusably noisy and would not block
+            PTC fan-out anyway. The `"safe"` preset is therefore restricted
+            to tools that are already non-HITL outside the REPL (read-only
+            file inspection); exposing HITL-gated tools — network fetch,
+            subagent dispatch, shell, file writes — requires an explicit
+            list or `interpreter_ptc="all"` with
+            `interpreter_ptc_acknowledge_unsafe=True`.
+
+            Requires the core `langchain-quickjs` dependency.
+        rubric_model: Grader model for `RubricMiddleware`.
+
+            A `'provider:model'` string or `BaseChatModel`.
+
+            When `None`, the main `model` is reused.
+        rubric_max_iterations: Explicit grader iterations per rubric attempt
+            before the agent terminates with `'max_iterations_reached'`; `None`
+            uses the SDK default.
+        checkpointer: Optional checkpointer for session persistence.
+            When `None`, the graph is compiled without a checkpointer.
+        mcp_server_info: MCP server metadata to surface in the system prompt.
+        cwd: Override the working directory for the agent's filesystem backend
+            and system prompt.
+        project_context: Explicit project path context for project-sensitive
+            behavior such as project `AGENTS.md` files, skills, subagents, and
+            MCP trust.
+        async_subagents: Remote LangGraph deployments to expose as async subagent tools.
+
+            Loaded from `[async_subagents]` in `config.toml` or passed directly.
+
+    Returns:
+        2-tuple of `(agent_graph, backend)`
+
+            - `agent_graph`: Configured LangGraph Pregel instance ready

+
