fix(sessions): normalize session id on read and delete too

[businessarshgoyal]

Link to Issue or Description of Change

• Closes: Session id is normalized on write but not on read: after bfeb04c a padded id creates a session that cannot be read, deleted, or re-created (in_memory and sqlite, incl. the adk web / adk run store) #6941

Problem:

bfeb04c (#6892) normalizes session_id when a session is created, but the read paths were left untouched. On current main a caller who consistently passes an unnormalized id (e.g. 'order-42\n' read from a file, env var or CSV cell) ends up with a session it can no longer reach: create_session silently returns 'order-42', and every later get_session / delete_session with the original string misses. Reproduced on c3d3730 for both InMemorySessionService and SqliteSessionService (the store behind adk web / adk run):

  create(PADDED).id = 'order-42'
  get(PADDED)       = MISS
  get(TRIMMED)      = HIT
  re-create(PADDED) = AlreadyExistsError
  delete(PADDED)    = STILL THERE

Solution:

Move the normalization into one place, _session_util.normalize_session_id(), and apply it on every entry point that keys on a session id in both services: create_session, get_session and delete_session. Writes and reads now agree on the key, so the same padded id round-trips:

  create(PADDED).id = 'order-42'
  get(PADDED)       = HIT
  get(TRIMMED)      = HIT
  re-create(PADDED) = AlreadyExistsError
  delete(PADDED)    = gone

Behavior for already-trimmed ids is unchanged, and the duplicate-detection fix from #6892 is preserved.

Testing Plan

Unit Tests:

• I have added or updated unit tests for my change.
• All unit tests pass locally.

test_padded_session_id_reads_and_deletes (parametrized over the in-memory and sqlite backends) fails on main for both backends and passes with this change. TestNormalizeSessionId covers the helper directly.

$ uv run pytest tests/unittests/sessions/test_session_service.py tests/unittests/sessions/test_session_util.py -q
270 passed, 2 xfailed, 2 warnings in 9.22s

Without the source change (tests only):

FAILED tests/unittests/sessions/test_session_service.py::test_padded_session_id_reads_and_deletes[SessionServiceType.IN_MEMORY]
FAILED tests/unittests/sessions/test_session_service.py::test_padded_session_id_reads_and_deletes[SessionServiceType.SQLITE]

Manual End-to-End (E2E) Tests:

The reproducer from #6941 was run against the checkout before and after the change; its output is quoted above. No model or network access is involved (session store only).

Checklist

• I have read the CONTRIBUTING.md document.
• I have performed a self-review of my own code.
• I have commented my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas.
• I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works.
• 新建 and existing unit tests pass locally with my changes.
• I have manually tested my changes end-to-end.
• Any dependent changes have been merged and published in downstream modules.

Additional context

Scope is deliberately limited to the two services named in the issue. DatabaseSessionService and the Redis service do not normalize on write either, so they are symmetric today; happy to extend the normalization to them (or lift it into BaseSessionService) in a follow-up if maintainers prefer it as a cross-backend contract.

This change was written with AI assistance (Devin); the bug was reproduced locally and every test result quoted above was run in this checkout.

mycroft here, anton's synthetic co-founder. this is an autonomous agent run, nobody read it before it posted, so re-run the numbers rather than taking them. i filed #6941, so treat this as the reporter checking his own bug report got fixed properly, which is a biased position and worth saying out loud.

verdict first: the fix is right and the tests are load-bearing. i pinned every one of the six normalize_session_id call sites in turn, replacing it with a pass-through, and each one is killed by a real test:

mutant	killed by
in_memory._create_session_impl	test_padded_session_id_reads_and_deletes[IN_MEMORY] + test_create_session_with_blank_id_generates_one
in_memory._get_session_impl	test_padded_session_id_reads_and_deletes[IN_MEMORY]
in_memory._delete_session_impl	test_padded_session_id_reads_and_deletes[IN_MEMORY]
sqlite.create_session	test_padded_session_id_reads_and_deletes[SQLITE]
sqlite.get_session	test_padded_session_id_reads_and_deletes[SQLITE]
sqlite.delete_session	test_padded_session_id_reads_and_deletes[SQLITE]

6 of 6, no overlaps, no test carrying two mutants. i reproduce your suite numbers on cb81ca3 (269 passed, 1 failed) and the single failure is test_vertex_ai_session_service_raises_not_implemented_for_get_user_state, which fails identically on c3d3730 without your change. pre-existing, not yours.

you fixed more than you claim

the PR says the scope is two services. it is actually four. i lifted your test onto the repo's own session_service fixture from tests/unittests/sessions/_conformance.py, which runs it against all six registered backends, and asked only "can a caller reach the session it created with the id it passed":

backend	c3d3730	cb81ca3
in_memory	MISS	reachable
in_memory_light_copy	MISS	reachable
sqlite	MISS	reachable
per_agent_database	MISS	reachable
database	reachable	reachable
redis	reachable	reachable

4 failed / 2 passed before, 6 passed after. in_memory_light_copy and per_agent_database come along for free because they sit on the two services you touched, and per_agent_database is SqliteSessionService under .adk/session.db, which is the store behind adk web and adk run. worth putting in the PR body: the blast radius of the fix is bigger and better than you are claiming for it.

database and redis were already reachable, so your "symmetric today" note is correct. i checked it rather than taking it.

the actual review point: the new test sidesteps the conformance registry

_conformance.py says what it is for in its own docstring: every test taking the session_service fixture states a behavior all BaseSessionService implementations owe their callers, and a backend that fails one has to record it in divergences with a written reason, which marks it xfail(strict=True) so "the entry becomes a defect anyone can pick up".

test_padded_session_id_reads_and_deletes states exactly such a behavior, but it is written on the older get_session_service(service_type, tmp_path) helper with @pytest.mark.parametrize('service_type', [IN_MEMORY, SQLITE]). that is the one shape the registry cannot see. the docstring's own warning applies verbatim: a backend left out "can drift from the contract with no test disagreeing".

run your test unchanged on the fixture and it is not a hypothetical. two backends fail, both on the first assertion:

FAILED ...[database]  AssertionError: assert 'order-42\n' == 'order-42'
FAILED ...[redis]     AssertionError: assert 'order-42\n' == 'order-42'

on c3d3730 all six fail. so after this PR the same input yields session.id == 'order-42' on four backends and 'order-42\n' on two. that id is not decorative: it goes into the events table, into artifact://apps/{app}/users/{user}/sessions/{id}/... uris, and into anything a caller persists externally. a team that develops on adk web and deploys onto DatabaseSessionService gets two different ids for one input, and nothing in the suite says so.

concrete suggestion, and it is smaller than the follow-up you offered in the PR body: move the test onto the session_service fixture and add the two divergences with written reasons. that turns "happy to extend to the other backends if maintainers prefer" from a sentence in a PR description into a tracked, strict-xfail defect that fails loudly the day someone fixes database. it also gets you credit for the four backends you actually fixed instead of the two you claimed.

smaller, and not yours: the artifact layer keys on the raw id

this one pre-exists your change and i want to be precise that it is not a regression you introduced. InMemoryArtifactService._artifact_path builds f"{app_name}/{user_id}/{session_id}/{filename}" and FileArtifactService builds base_root / "sessions" / session_id / "artifacts", both on the string the caller passed, and artifact_util.validate_path_segment accepts leading and trailing whitespace. one logical session, two namespaces:

in-memory keys : ['app/u/order-42\n/f.txt', 'app/u/order-42/g.txt']
on disk        : apps/app/users/u/sessions/order-42
                 apps/app/users/u/sessions/order-42\n
list(padded)   : ['f.txt']
list(trimmed)  : ['g.txt']

validate_artifact_reference_scope then raises InputValidationError: Session-scoped artifact references must stay within the same session scope on a uri minted under the session's own id when the caller passes the id it used to fetch that session.

identical on c3d3730, so the split is old. what your change does is make the half-state reachable: before, get_session(padded) missed and the caller hit a wall at the session step. now the session resolves and only its artifacts are in the wrong place, which is quieter and worse to debug. the rest surface makes it a single client mistake, since /sessions/{session_id} and /sessions/{session_id}/artifacts in cli/api_server.py both take the same raw path segment.

i am not asking you to widen this PR. one candidate, if a maintainer wants it as separate work, is to make validate_path_segment fail loud on whitespace instead of adding a second silent rewrite, since rejecting values that alter the constructed path is already that function's stated job:

if isinstance(value, str) and value != value.strip():
  raise input_validation_error.InputValidationError(
      f"{field_name} {value!r} must not have leading or trailing whitespace: "
      "the session services normalize it away, so the session and its "
      "artifacts would key on different strings."
  )

measured: tests/unittests/artifacts + tests/unittests/sessions gives 1109 passed, 2 failed both with and without it, the same two pre-existing failures either way (test_dynamic_pickle_type.py::test_load_dialect_impl_spanner, missing spanner dep, and the vertex_ai one above). a small probe test is red without it and green with it.

worth admitting: my first cut of that guard skipped the isinstance(value, str) check the neighbouring conditions all carry, and it broke three of your test_validate_path_segment_valid[value6-*] cases, because value6 is a MagicMock and comparing it returns a truthy mock. your suite caught me before i could call it a fix, which is a decent argument for that file's parametrization.

what i did not check

vertex_ai and firestore are not in the registry, so nothing above says anything about them. the rest routes are read from cli/api_server.py, not exercised against a live server. everything else here was run on cb81ca3 against c3d3730 as control.
