📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdds Deepnote agent blocks with encrypted OpenAI key storage, model selection, streamed execution, generated ephemeral cells, and status-bar controls. Agent cells execute separately from kernel cells. Ephemeral cells are excluded from persistence and file synchronization. The change adds execution-state notifications, telemetry updates, unit tests, and end-to-end mock OpenAI coverage. Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to This change adds agent-generated notebook execution and ephemeral-cell handling. An unresolved snapshot race could allow an older run to save after a newer run begins, potentially overwriting newer notebook state; merge should wait for this issue to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

Inline comments:
In `@src/notebooks/deepnote/agentCellExecutionHandler.ts`:
- Around line 110-113: The code directly reads OPENAI_API_KEY from process.env
in agentCellExecutionHandler.ts (openAiToken = process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY) which
is unsafe for production; replace this direct env access with a secure secret
retrieval call (e.g., a new getOpenAiApiKey() that fetches from your secret
manager/credentials vault or from an injected secure config) and update callers
to inject the key instead of relying on process.env; ensure the secret is never
logged or included in error messages and keep the existing null-check/throw
behavior but reference the secure getter (getOpenAiApiKey) or injected parameter
in place of process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY.
- Around line 274-278: The success check in the return object of
agentCellExecutionHandler is too permissive—replace the current expression
`cell.executionSummary?.success !== false` with an explicit true check like
`cell.executionSummary?.success === true` (so only an explicit success is
reported; undefined/in-progress will not be treated as success); update the
return here (where `success`, `outputs:
cell.outputs.map(translateCellDisplayOutput)`, and `executionCount:
cell.executionSummary?.executionOrder ?? null` are constructed) to use that
strict equality.
In `@src/notebooks/deepnote/agentCellStatusBarProvider.ts`:
- Around line 69-71: The dispose() method currently uses an expression-bodied
arrow in this.disposables.forEach((d) => d.dispose()) which triggers the Biome
callback-return lint; change the callback to a block body or replace the forEach
with a for...of loop so the disposables are disposed without returning a
value—e.g., update dispose() to iterate over the disposables array and call
dispose() inside a statement block (reference: dispose method and disposables
property).
- Around line 142-149: getMaxIterations currently only enforces a lower bound;
add an upper-bound check so the returned value is an integer between
MIN_ITERATIONS and MAX_ITERATIONS (e.g., require value <= MAX_ITERATIONS). In
setMaxIterations replace permissive parseInt usage with strict integer
validation (use a full-match regex like /^\d+$/) and then parse with Number() so
inputs like "5.5" or "10abc" are rejected; after parsing ensure the numeric
value is an integer and within MIN_ITERATIONS..MAX_ITERATIONS before accepting
or falling back to DEFAULT_MAX_ITERATIONS. Update both occurrences in
setMaxIterations that currently call parseInt to use this strict validation and
range check, and reference the getMaxIterations and setMaxIterations functions
when making the change.
In `@src/notebooks/deepnote/converters/agentBlockConverter.unit.test.ts`:
- Around line 1-5: Reorder the imports so third-party modules are grouped
together and local imports come after: move the dedent import to be alongside
the other external imports (DeepnoteBlock, chai's assert, and vscode's
NotebookCellData/NotebookCellKind) and place the local AgentBlockConverter
import ('./agentBlockConverter') after that group; ensure the symbols
DeepnoteBlock, assert, NotebookCellData, NotebookCellKind, and dedent remain
imported and only the order changes to comply with the "third-party then local"
guideline.

- Around line 142-147: The onLog callback in agentCellExecutionHandler.ts
contains commented-out accumulation code and a TODO; either remove the dead code
or implement it: add an accumulated string variable in the enclosing scope, make
onLog async (or forward logs to an async helper), append incoming message to
accumulated, then call
execution.replaceOutputItems(NotebookCellOutputItem.text(accumulated), output)
to update the cell output; if you choose to drop it, delete the commented lines
and the TODO and keep only logger.info('Agent log', message). Reference: onLog
callback, accumulated variable, execution.replaceOutputItems,
NotebookCellOutputItem.text, and output.
- Around line 41-64: serializeNotebookContext instantiates a new
DeepnoteDataConverter on every call which is wasteful if called frequently;
modify serializeNotebookContext to use a shared or injected converter instance
instead of creating one per invocation (e.g., accept a DeepnoteDataConverter
parameter or read from a module-scoped singleton), and update callers to pass or
rely on the shared converter so convertCellToBlock usage inside
serializeNotebookContext reuses the same converter.
In `@src/notebooks/deepnote/agentCellExecutionHandler.unit.test.ts`:
- Around line 310-324: The test creates a CancellationTokenSource named
tokenSource and cancels it but never disposes it; update the test for 'returns
success false immediately when token is pre-cancelled' to ensure
tokenSource.dispose() is called after use (e.g., in a finally block or via
afterEach cleanup) so the CancellationTokenSource is properly disposed; locate
the tokenSource variable in this test and add the dispose call around
executeEphemeralCell(tokenSource.token) to clean up resources.
In `@src/notebooks/deepnote/agentCellStatusBarProvider.ts`:
- Line 27: MaxIterationsSchema currently only enforces a minimum via
MIN_ITERATIONS so values >100 slip through; update MaxIterationsSchema to also
enforce an upper bound (e.g., .max(100)) or reference a new constant like
MAX_ITERATIONS = 100 if you prefer a named limit, ensuring you use
z.coerce.number().int().min(MIN_ITERATIONS).max(MAX_ITERATIONS) (or .max(100))
to validate both ends; modify the schema definition where MaxIterationsSchema is
declared and add the MAX_ITERATIONS constant if not already present.

used in AgentCellStatusBarProvider and to ensure proper synchronous disposal and
error handling: iterate over this.disposables using for (const d of
this.disposables) and call d.dispose() inside the loop (referencing the dispose
method and the disposables array to locate the change).

of await workspace.applyEdit(edit) and verify the notebook now contains the
inserted cell (e.g. notebook.cellCount > insertIndex or try
notebook.cellAt(insertIndex) exists). If applyEdit returns false or the
verification fails, throw an Error (or return a sentinel/failure value as per
project convention) instead of returning insertIndex so callers won't operate on
an invalid index; use the same local symbols edit, insertIndex, notebook,
WorkspaceEdit, NotebookEdit.insertCells and workspace.applyEdit to locate and
implement the checks.
- Around line 136-138: The handler onAgentEvent currently logs the full

metadata such as event.type, any safe IDs or timestamps, and the transition
detected using lastAgentEventType (e.g., logger.info('Agent event', { type:
event.type, prevType: lastAgentEventType, timestamp: ... })) and remove
JSON.stringify(event) so no full payload is written to logs.
- Around line 264-283: The code rejects completionDeferred when
token.isCancellationRequested but still proceeds to run
commands.executeCommand('notebook.cell.execute'), allowing work after
cancellation; update the handler (around token, completionDeferred,
CancellationError and before commands.executeCommand) to short-circuit: if token
&& token.isCancellationRequested (or if completionDeferred has already been
rejected/settled) then clear the timeout, dispose any disposables, and
return/throw so commands.executeCommand is not invoked; ensure the same
early-exit path is taken when token.onCancellationRequested fires so cancelled
executions never call notebook.cell.execute.
In `@src/notebooks/deepnote/agentCellExecutionHandler.unit.test.ts`:
- Around line 366-384: The test for executeEphemeralCell should also assert that
no execution request was sent when the token is pre-cancelled: after calling

start of the first line to the end of the last line (use
editor.document.lineAt(0).range.start and
editor.document.lineAt(editor.document.lineCount - 1).range.end) and pass an

@tkislan this is working great, but at the moment it only supports three OpenAI models.
Have you maybe thought of ways to support more providers or make it more configurable, so that users are not limited when it comes to model selection?
They provide the key themself, they should be able to have more choice.

First pass with Sol Ultra:
I found 8 actionable issues: 3 P1 merge blockers and 5 P2 issues.
-
P1 — Web extension activation is broken
build/esbuild/build.ts:72 externalizes
@deepnote/runtime-core, but the shared controller statically imports the agent execution handler. This leaves a bare runtime-core import in the web bundle. Since the dependency is not packaged and requires Node-only modules, the browser extension fails to load even when agents are unused. -
P1 — Agent execution cannot be stopped
vscodeNotebookController.ts:611 installs an interrupt handler that only interrupts Jupyter. VS Code therefore does not cancel the agent cell’s execution token. Pressing Stop while the model or an MCP tool is running leaves it active, potentially adding cells and incurring more API usage.
-
P1 — Mixed Run All continues after failure
vscodeNotebookController.ts:658 splits execution around agent cells, but both kernel and agent failures are consumed. A sequence such as failing Python → agent → Python still runs the agent and trailing code. Segment failures and cancellations should abort the remaining batch.
-
P2 — Snapshot completion fires multiple times during one agent run
vscodeNotebookController.ts:672 allows every kernel segment and generated-code execution to signal queue completion, then emits another completion after the agent. SnapshotService can consequently save and clear execution state during an ordinary LLM pause. Treat the entire agent run as one outer execution batch.
-
P2 — Streamed agent output is truncated on persistence
deepnoteDataConverter.ts:499 serializes only the first stdout or stderr item. Agent execution stores the planning message and each streamed event as separate stdout items, so save/reload preserves only “Planning next steps…” and loses tool, reasoning, and final output.
-
P2 — Explicitly generated agent IDs can be overwritten
deepnoteSerializer.ts:535 treats any ID absent from the original project as lost metadata and replaces it using content-only matching. For example, deleting an empty block and adding an empty agent before saving can give the agent the deleted block’s ID, breaking ephemeral-cell ownership and snapshot matching.
-
P2 — Add Agent Block is available in non-Deepnote notebooks
package.json:176 contributes the command without an enablement condition, while deepnoteNotebookCommandListener.ts:243 does not validate the notebook type. Running it from the Command Palette in an
.ipynbinserts Deepnote-specific agent metadata into that notebook. -
P2 — Metadata-only external changes are ignored
deepnoteFileChangeWatcher.ts:166 compares only cell kind, language, and source. External changes to fields such as
deepnote_agent_modelor the block ID are ignored when the prompt remains unchanged, leaving stale live metadata that a later save can overwrite.
addAgentBlock was the only add-block command that never called trackAddBlock, so agent-block adoption reported zero: the auto-tracker skips pocket-typed cells, and nothing else observed the insert. Agent scratch cells had the inverse problem. They were invisible to add_block for the same reason, while the agent running them through notebook.cell.execute re-enters the kernel path and emitted execute_cell as though a user had pressed Run. isEphemeral separates the two. Required rather than optional so no call site can omit it -- queries that mean "a human did this" need `isEphemeral != true`, since rows written before this change carry no such field.

transformOutputsForDeepnote took the first stdout or stderr item of an output and dropped the rest. Agent runs append every streamed delta as a new item on one output, so saving kept only "[Agent] Planning next steps..." and lost the whole transcript -- 82% of it in the case that prompted this. Ordinary Jupyter cells whose stdout arrives in several chunks were truncated the same way; this is not agent-specific. Note the agent's context serializer runs the same converter, so a later run now sees an earlier agent cell's full output. That is correct, and it grows the prompt in a way the truncation was hiding. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01WAA6y9KqdkR8p5H26VD2ee
recoverBlockIdsFromOriginal matched on trimmed content alone -- not type, not cell kind -- and rewrote the id, sortingKey and blockGroup of any block whose id was absent from the stored project. Deleting an empty block and adding an empty agent block in the same save handed the agent the deleted block's identity. That matters now because addAgentBlock mints its id up front so each run can stamp its generated cells with a stable owner; the recovery silently voided it on the first save, leaving the main file and the snapshot disagreeing about which block the outputs belong to. Recovery still runs for cells VS Code stripped metadata from, which is what it was added for -- those have no id, so they stay candidates. Adding type to the match key would not work: a metadata-stripped SQL block arrives as 'code' and would stop matching its own original. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01WAA6y9KqdkR8p5H26VD2ee
contentActuallyChanged compared cell count, kind, languageId and source. An external edit that changed only deepnote_agent_model or a block id was read as "no change", the reload was skipped, and the next save wrote the stale in-memory value back over the file -- silently reverting the edit. Editing a .deepnote on disk while it is open is the case this watcher exists for. Comparing raw cell metadata would be worse than the bug: the save path rewrites contentHash and normalizes sortingKey every time, so every user save would reload, and reloading replaces all cells and destroys agent scratch cells. So compare what the file actually carries -- run both sides through convertCellToBlock, the same conversion the serializer saves through, and compare the resulting block. Anything the write path derives, normalizes or strips is excluded because it never reaches block.metadata, so there is no field list here to drift out of sync. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01WAA6y9KqdkR8p5H26VD2ee
Three faults in the same execution frame, all from splitting a Run All around agent cells and letting each generated cell re-enter it. Run All no longer continues past a failure. Before the split this function was one body where a failing segment's `return` ended the whole run; splitting it demoted those returns to ending one segment, so failing Python -> agent -> Python ran everything. They rethrow again, which is the pre-existing control flow rather than new bookkeeping. Cancellation needs more, because a cancelled execution resolves rather than rejects: the queue already latches that verdict, so expose it as INotebookKernelExecution.failed instead of tracking it again. Queue completion is now per gesture, not per queue. An agent run opens a fresh CellExecutionQueue per generated cell, each announcing completion, so SnapshotService saved and cleared execution state during ordinary LLM pauses. The controller owns the batch, so it announces completion once, when its re-entrancy depth unwinds to zero. Retiring a run's metadata moved off the save. Clearing it in performSnapshotSave's finally meant the save that follows a run -- and any file save after it -- serialized nothing, and it wiped the captured environment, so an agent run re-ran pip freeze per generated cell. It is now dropped when the next run starts, signalled by the same frame that announces completion so a run that opens no kernel queue still retires the previous one. Stopping an agent run does something. interruptHandler leaves NotebookCellExecution.token inert, so the agent never saw a stop: the kernel interrupt ended its in-flight cell, which the model read as a failure worth retrying, and a cell cancelled before it started left the agent waiting out a five minute timeout. The controller now owns a cancellation source per notebook, cancelled before the kernel interrupt so the agent sees the stop first. The model call itself still runs to the end of its turn -- that needs the AbortSignal support sitting unreleased in runtime-core, and executeAgentCell documents where it plugs in.

- Around line 690-703: Update the agent-cell execution flow in the surrounding
batch method to check agentCancellation.token after executeAgentCell completes
and stop/return from the batch when cancellation was requested, matching the
existing failed-kernel-segment behavior; do not allow execution to proceed to
subsequent cells or the trailing executeKernelCells call after interruption.

executeAgentCell reports a stop by ending its cell and returning, not by throwing, so a run interrupted during the agent cell reached the loop looking like one that finished and the cells after it still executed. The batch already aborts when a kernel segment is interrupted; this is the one branch that did not, because it was the one that does not throw. Reported by CodeRabbit on #358.

…e watcher - Added logging for error handling in the notebook controller's interrupt handler to ensure proper error reporting when interrupting notebook execution. - Updated comments in the agent cell execution handler for clarity on tool failure handling. - Corrected content hash and spelling in deepnote file change watcher tests to maintain consistency and accuracy. These changes improve the robustness of the tests and clarify the code's intent.
Marking @deepnote/runtime-core external for the web target left a bare top-level import in extension.web.bundle.js: agentCellExecutionHandler imports it statically, and the web-registered VSCodeNotebookController pulls that handler in through controllerRegistration. runtime-core needs Node built-ins (net, child_process) and .vscodeignore excludes node_modules from the VSIX, so the specifier can never resolve at runtime -- and dropping the external turns it into a build failure (tcp-port-used and @ai-sdk/mcp reach for net/child_process), which is what the external was actually silencing rather than fixing. Alias it to a stub instead, the same way @nteract/presentational-components is already aliased in this file. Agent blocks are desktop-only; the web build now throws a clear error if either export is ever called instead of shipping an unresolvable import.

executeAgentCell called controller.createNotebookCellExecution directly and never touched the internal execution-state shim that SnapshotService and execute_cell analytics actually listen to -- start()/end() on a raw NotebookCellExecution fires no event either one sees. The agent cell still counts toward totalCodeCells since it's Code-kind, so a Run All containing an agent block could never make executedBlockCount equal totalCodeCells and always fell back to updating the latest snapshot only, silently losing timestamped history for every run of the PR's headline feature. The agent block also never got execution timing on save, and never showed up in execute_cell analytics. Route start/end through notebookCellExecutions.changeCellState so the run is visible on the same shim every kernel execution reports to.

notifyQueueComplete now has a single production caller, the controller's executeQueuedCells, after the per-queue notification moved out of CellExecutionQueue to stop an agent batch's own per-segment queues from retiring the run mid-batch. NotebookKernelExecution.resumeCellExecution opens a queue through the same path but never goes through the controller's batch, so SnapshotService starts tracking a resumed execution and never sees it finish -- its counters and startedAt survive into whatever runs next on that document. restoreConnection is reachable only for Jupyter/interactive documents (a .deepnote file cannot take that path), so this doesn't affect Deepnote snapshots today, but a resumed queue should still announce its own completion.

Adds the Agent block — a Deepnote block type that runs an LLM agent which writes and executes code in the notebook on your behalf.
What you get
Creating one
Deepnote: Add Agent Block, plus a 🤖 button first among the block buttons in the notebook toolbar.add*Blockcommands, this one mints the block id at creation.createBlockFromPockethands an id-less block a fresh random id on every call, so without this each run would stamp its generated cells with a different owner — the stale-run guard would never match and scratch cells would pile up until the first save-and-reload.Running one
executeAgentBlockfrom@deepnote/runtime-core.agent_source_block_id.Deepnote: Set OpenAI API Key/Clear OpenAI API Key, held inIEncryptedStorage.Agent cell status bar
Agent Blockindicator.auto(default),gpt-5.6-sol,gpt-5.6-terra,gpt-5.6-luna.Clear ephemeral blocks— appears only when that block currently owns generated cells, and asks for confirmation before deleting.Ephemeral cells
Ephemerallabel whose tooltip names the source agent block.serializeNotebook, so they never reach the.deepnotefile (deepnoteSerializer.ts:234). The file-change watcher keeps them in the live editor when it reads back our own save.Decisions worth a reviewer's attention
getBlockId(agentCell)— the same derivationremoveEphemeralCellsForAgentBlocksalready used..deepnotefile that already contains two still opens fine.add*Blockcommands are unchanged.Testing
test/e2e/suite/agentBlock.e2e.test.ts— drives a real agent run against a stand-in OpenAI server (test/e2e/helpers/mockOpenAiServer.ts), then asserts the run, the re-run that drops stale cells, and the clear button. CI pre-downloads the mock server since it is npx-only.Known gaps
agent_source_block_id(hand-authored file) has no clear button anywhere — nothing claims it. It is stripped from the file on save regardless.main's newexecute_notebooktelemetry infers "Run All" fromcells.length === codeCellCount. This branch inserts and strips ephemeral code cells around agent runs, so that count may shift during an agent Run All. Worst case is a miscounted analytics event.Summary by CodeRabbit
