修雨 ece91bfa3c feat(agent): accurate agent_code detection + per-channel agentId for stats (#467)
Tag each MCP request with which agent host is driving dws (agent_code) and a
per-(machine × agent_code) instance id, so usage can be sliced by channel and
instance in the data warehouse. Root cause it fixes: agent_code was only sent
when the host injected DINGTALK_DWS_AGENTCODE (~99.98% empty), so the gateway
logged none.

Detection ladder (every signature observed on a real host / official docs, not
guessed; unknown -> custom):
  T0 explicit DINGTALK_DWS_AGENTCODE
  T1 verified env signatures: claudecode (CLAUDECODE), codex (CODEX_SANDBOX),
     openclaw (OPENCLAW_BUNDLE_ROOT), hermes (HERMES_HOME)
  T2 VSCODE_BRAND value (covers the whole VS Code fork family)
  T3 macOS __CFBundleIdentifier map (qoder/cursor/vscode/workbuddy)
  T4 custom fallback

identity.json v2 (machineId + per-agent_code agents map), deterministic
dwsa_<base62> derivation, transparent v1 migration. Backward-compatible wiring:
x-dws-agent-id stays machine-level; new x-dws-agent-instance-id carries the
per-channel id; X-Cli-Version emitted so old/new clients are distinguishable.

Trust boundary (docs/agent-code.md): agent_code and the ids are self-reported
and spoofable — fit for statistics ONLY, never for auth/limit/billing.

Includes unit tests for every tier and the integration doc.

# Agent identification (agent_code & agentId)
dws tags every MCP request with **which agent host is driving it** and a
**per-instance id**, so usage can be sliced by channel/instance in the data
warehouse. This page is the integration contract.
## What dws sends on the wire
| Header | Meaning | Granularity |
|--------|---------|-------------|
| `x-dingtalk-dws-agent-code` | which agent host (claudecode / codex / qoder / cursor / custom …) | channel |
| `x-dws-agent-instance-id` | `dwsa_<base62>` derived from `machineId + agent_code` | machine × channel |
| `x-dws-agent-id` | stable per-install machine id (v1-compatible) | machine |
| `X-Cli-Version` | dws CLI version (segments old vs new clients) | — |
`x-dws-agent-id` keeps its original machine-level meaning for backward
compatibility; `x-dws-agent-instance-id` is the new per-channel value. Old
clients send no `agent_code` / instance id — treat their absence as
"legacy/unknown", not an error.
## How `agent_code` is resolved (confidence ladder)
1. **T0 — explicit declaration:** `DINGTALK_DWS_AGENTCODE=<code>`. **Use this.**
2. **T1 — verified env signature:** an agent that auto-sets a distinctive var
(`CLAUDECODE`, `CODEX_SANDBOX`, `OPENCLAW_BUNDLE_ROOT`, `HERMES_HOME`).
3. **T2 — `VSCODE_BRAND`:** every VS Code fork declares its brand — one rule
covers Cursor / Windsurf / Trae / Qoder / Kiro / … incl. future forks.
4. **T3 — macOS `__CFBundleIdentifier`:** known agent app bundles.
5. **T4 — `custom`:** unknown host. Never guessed.
## Declaring your agent (recommended — the only fully-general path)
Auto-detection cannot cover every agent: most terminal agents (gemini/
antigravity, aider, opencode, qwen-code, crush, goose, kimi, amazon-q,
continue, …) expose **no reliable self-identifying env var** — only user-set
API keys, which must not be used as identity. The robust answer is: **the host
sets `DINGTALK_DWS_AGENTCODE` in the env block where it launches dws as an MCP
server.** This is accurate for any agent, on any OS, and is future-proof.
MCP server config example (JSON-style hosts):
```jsonc
{
"mcpServers": {
"dingtalk-workspace": {
"command": "dws",
"args": ["mcp", "..."],
"env": { "DINGTALK_DWS_AGENTCODE": "your-agent-code" }
}
}
}
```
### Canonical codes
`claudecode`, `codex`, `cursor`, `vscode`, `qoder`, `windsurf`, `trae`,
`workbuddy`, `openclaw`, `hermes`, `codebuddy`, `comate`, `lingma`, `gemini`,
`aider`, `opencode`, `goose`, `crush`, `kimi`, `amazonq`, `continue`, …
Use a stable lowercase slug; unknown values are kept as-is (lowercased,
spaces stripped), so a new agent name flows through cleanly.
## Trust & limitations — READ THIS
**`agent_code` AND the ids (`x-dws-agent-id`, `x-dws-agent-instance-id`) are
self-reported, best-effort signals, NOT an authenticated identity.**
- `agent_code`: every declaration/auto-detect signal is an env var the
host/user controls — spoofable (`export CLAUDECODE=1` → dws reports
`claudecode`).
- The ids are **even easier to forge**: they are generated, stored, and sent
entirely client-side. `machineId` is a random UUID in the plaintext
`~/.dws/identity.json` (which the user owns), and the instance id is just
`sha256(machineId + agent_code)`. Editing that one file — or rewriting the
header — lets anyone mint, split, rotate, or impersonate ids at will. The
`dwsa_` prefix does NOT make it a secure identifier.
- ✅ **Fit for statistics / observability** (the intended use): there is no
incentive to misreport one's own agent, and real hosts emit real signals, so
aggregate per-channel metrics are reliable in practice.
- ❌ **NOT fit for authentication, authorization, rate-limiting, billing, or
revocation.** Anything where a party benefits from lying must not trust this
field. For control-plane use you need a gateway-issued **authoritative**
agentId bound to a verified credential (clientId / PAT / OAuth) — a separate,
heavier mechanism, deliberately out of scope here.
Treat `agent_code` / `x-dws-agent-instance-id` as analytics dimensions only.
## Gateway side (required for the data to land)
dws sending the headers is necessary but not sufficient. The gateway must:
1. add `x-dingtalk-dws-agent-code`, `x-dws-agent-instance-id`, `X-Cli-Version`
to the upstream-header pass-through allowlist (otherwise they are stripped);
2. log them as fields, and deliver them to the warehouse (alongside the
existing flow-control / execution logs).
