From 21c31a32595282c8926c2d973fbed110be4bc05d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Suhani Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2026 22:05:57 +0530 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix(agent-framework): repair memory injection into chat messages `_inject_memories` did not work against Agent Framework `Message` objects, in two separate ways. 1. `Message.text` is a read-only property derived from `Message.contents`, so assigning to it raises `AttributeError`. Every request that found an existing system message hit this path, and `_inject_memories` is called from `process()` without a guard, so the exception propagated and failed the whole chat call. Memories are now appended as an extra text content item, and the dict branch is checked first so plain-dict messages keep working. 2. When no system message was present, the prepended message carried the raw memories instead of the `wrap_memory_injection` output. That is the fence which marks retrieved memories as data and tells the model not to follow instructions inside them, so untrusted memory content reached the model unfenced. This path is common, since it covers any agent built without instructions. Both branches now inject the same wrapped text. Adds coverage for `_inject_memories`, which previously had none. --- .../supermemory_agent_framework/middleware.py | 35 +++++++--- .../tests/test_middleware.py | 64 +++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 91 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/packages/agent-framework-python/src/supermemory_agent_framework/middleware.py b/packages/agent-framework-python/src/supermemory_agent_framework/middleware.py index 93536521..97d540c7 100644 --- a/packages/agent-framework-python/src/supermemory_agent_framework/middleware.py +++ b/packages/agent-framework-python/src/supermemory_agent_framework/middleware.py @@ -24,6 +24,22 @@ from .utils import ( wrap_memory_injection, ) +try: + from agent_framework import Content + + def _text_content(text: str) -> Any: + """Build a text content item for a Message.""" + return Content(type="text", text=text) + +except ImportError: + # agent-framework-core exposed a dedicated TextContent class before the + # 1.0.0 stable release consolidated the content types into Content. + from agent_framework import TextContent # type: ignore[attr-defined] + + def _text_content(text: str) -> Any: + """Build a text content item for a Message.""" + return TextContent(text=text) + @dataclass class SupermemoryMiddlewareOptions: @@ -393,10 +409,11 @@ def _inject_memories(context: Any, memories: str) -> None: different Agent Framework providers.

The fallback branch only prepended a system message when `context.messages` was a `list`, and silently did nothing otherwise. It also wrapped the insert in `except Exception: pass`, commented "log a warning" but with nothing to log through, since the function had no logger in scope. The function now takes the middleware's logger and warns on both paths: one for a non-list container, including the type it actually got, and one for an insert that raised, including the exception type. Neither raises, since injection is best-effort and must not fail the chat request. `_inject_memories` is private with a single call site, so the logger is a required argument rather than an optional one that could reintroduce the silent path. --- .../supermemory_agent_framework/middleware.py | 25 +++++-- .../tests/test_middleware.py | 75 +++++++++++++++++-- 2 files changed, 88 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/packages/agent-framework-python/src/supermemory_agent_framework/middleware.py b/packages/agent-framework-python/src/supermemory_agent_framework/middleware.py index 97d540c7..bc1abb56 100644 --- a/packages/agent-framework-python/src/supermemory_agent_framework/middleware.py +++ b/packages/agent-framework-python/src/supermemory_agent_framework/middleware.py @@ -368,7 +368,7 @@ class SupermemoryChatMiddleware(ChatMiddleware): ) # Inject memories into messages - _inject_memories(context, memories) + _inject_memories(context, memories, self._logger) await call_next() @@ -402,11 +402,14 @@ class SupermemoryChatMiddleware(ChatMiddleware): raise -def _inject_memories(context: Any, memories: str) -> None: +def _inject_memories(context: Any, memories: str, logger: Logger) -> None: """Inject memories into the chat context messages.
