Problem

param_resolver has a single documented spelling rule for preset names, and applies it on the
string path but not on the array path.

• _resolve_string (src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/config/param_resolver.py, the preset
  branch) normalises the value with value.strip().lower().replace("-", "_") and carries an
  explicit comment that this exists so "the accepted spellings match the closed-set guard in
  validate_preset_string (which uses the same normalization)".
• _resolve_array compares raw strings in both branches that look up a preset:
  • ArrayMode.SINGLE_OR_LIST — if isinstance(single_value, str) and presets and single_value in presets:
  • ArrayMode.PRESET_OVERRIDE — if presets and first in presets:

So the array form of the same parameter accepts a strictly smaller set of spellings than the
string form. Two user-visible symptoms, both reproduced with the real resolvers:

1. Rejects a spelling the error message itself suggests (loud).

resolve_output("VERBOSE",  OutputConfig)  # -> OutputConfig(verbose=True, markdown=True, ...)
resolve_output(["VERBOSE"], OutputConfig) # -> ValueError: Invalid output value: 'VERBOSE'.
                                          #    Did you mean 'verbose'? Valid presets: ...

Same for [" verbose "] and for ["fast-track"] vs. the fast_track preset. The resolver's own
suggest_similar finds the match; the raw in presets check refuses it.

2. Silently picks the wrong backend (quiet, and worse).

resolve_memory("sqlite",   MemoryConfig)  # -> MemoryConfig(backend='sqlite')
resolve_memory(["sqlite"], MemoryConfig)  # -> MemoryConfig(backend='sqlite')
resolve_memory(["SQLITE"], MemoryConfig)  # -> MemoryConfig(backend='file')   <-- default
resolve_memory([" sqlite "], MemoryConfig)# -> MemoryConfig(backend='file')   <-- default

The raw check misses, execution falls through to return config_class(), and the caller gets the
default backend with no error and no log. This repo already names this failure mode:
tests/unit/config/test_preset_typo_validation.py::test_context_variant_actually_resolves —
"Accepting a spelling and then disabling the feature is worse than rejecting it".

_validate_preset_params only inspects str values, so array input never reaches the closed-set
guard and reaches this raw comparison unvalidated.

Fix

Add _match_preset_key() — a canonical preset lookup that goes through canonical_preset_key —
and use it at the two array sites. Values that already matched exactly are unaffected; a
non-canonical spelling now behaves exactly like its canonical form.

This is the array-path counterpart of #5226 (issue #5148), which DRYs the same
normalisation into canonical_preset_key on the string path. To avoid colliding with that open
PR, this change deliberately does not touch _resolve_string or the top-level import block,
and imports canonical_preset_key locally in the new helper.

Validation

Tests added to the existing tests/unit/config/test_param_resolver.py::TestArrayParsing:

• test_preset_override_array_accepts_canonical_spellings
• test_single_or_list_array_preset_is_not_silently_dropped

Test effectiveness self-proof — reverting only param_resolver.py (git stash) while
keeping the new tests makes both fail:

ValueError: Invalid output value: 'VERBOSE'. Did you mean 'verbose'? Valid presets: fast_track, verbose
AssertionError: SQLITE
E   assert 'file' == 'sqlite'

Restoring the fix makes both pass. (33 passed in test_param_resolver.py.)

Differential fuzz, 1502 cases — 7 array modes x 4 input shapes (scalar, [v], [v, {...}],
[v, extra]) x 39 value spellings (case / whitespace / - vs _ variants of real preset names,
near-miss typos, URLs, paths, empty strings, non-string items):

• 1409 identical before/after
• 93 changed — and every one now equals what the canonical spelling of that same input
  already did before the change (verified programmatically). 0 unexplained changes.

Regression — pytest tests/unit/config/:

	failed	passed
unmodified main	6	325
with this fix	6	327

The 6 failures are byte-identical and pre-existing (test_parallel_tool_calls_single_source.py).

Zero persistence impact. This only affects in-memory resolution of constructor arguments: no
config key, path, serialised field or cache key is written or renamed by the change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Preset names in single-item and preset-override arrays now match regardless of capitalization or surrounding whitespace. Hyphens and underscores are also treated as interchangeable.
  • Preset overrides now apply to the matched preset while preserving its existing values, including values not changed by the override. This makes array-based preset selection consistent across these configuration forms.

Confidence Score: 5/5

[Medium risk] Normalizes preset name matching in configuration resolution.

The PR appears safe to merge; no blocking issue was found.

What we checked:

• Unknown presets stay rejected: With a nonempty preset map, an unmatched name still raises ValueError. The added test checks this behavior.

Summary

Array-form preset lookup now uses canonical_preset_key to accept case, whitespace, and hyphen variants.

• Both array lookup branches apply the matched preset.
• Tests cover accepted spellings, preserved overrides, and unknown names.
• The only change since the previous review adds the unknown-name test. No new actionable issues were found.

[MervinPraison]

@claude You are the FINAL architecture reviewer. If the branch is under MervinPraison/PraisonAI (not a fork), you are able to make modifications to this branch and push directly. SCOPE: Review changes in this PR. Python SDK: praisonaiagents, praisonai. TypeScript SDK: src/praisonai-ts/. Do NOT modify src/praisonai-rust. Read ALL comments above from Gemini, Qodo, CodeRabbit, and Copilot carefully before responding.

MANDATORY READ (before reviewing):

• Always read src/praisonai-agents/AGENTS.md
• If this PR touches src/praisonai-ts/, also read src/praisonai-ts/AGENTS.md §2.1.2 (TS triage + PR review checklist)

Phase 1: Review per AGENTS.md

1. Protocol-driven: check heavy implementations vs core SDK
2. Backward compatible: ensure zero feature regressions
3. Performance: no hot-path regressions
4. SDK value: review in depth whether the change genuinely adds value to the SDK — never add features for the sake of adding them. It must strengthen the SDK (simpler, more user-friendly, robust, world-class, secure). If it does not clearly add value, request changes or recommend rejecting/closing rather than merging scope creep
5. Do not bloat the Agent class with additional params — only if absolutely required; we already support many params.
6. Repo routing: agent-callable tools → PraisonAI-Tools; lifecycle plugins → PraisonAI-Plugins; optional sandbox backends → PraisonAI-Plugins (praisonai.sandbox entry point) — request changes if wrongly added to praisonaiagents/
   6b. External tool examples (examples/tools/external/**): If the diff is confined to that path, mark SDK value ❌ for monorepo merge — redirect the contributor to PraisonAI-Tools; do not Approve for merge unless the PR has the maintainer-accept-example label.
   6c. New vendor *_tools.py in core (src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/tools/): If the PR adds a new *_tools.py for a third-party API/SaaS/dataset (e.g. FXMacroData), mark Repo routing ❌ and SDK value ❌ — redirect to MervinPraison/PraisonAI-Tools. Do not Approve because legacy bundled tools (Tavily/Exa/You.com/etc.) already in core are not precedent for new vendor modules. Request changes or recommend closing unless the PR has maintainer-accept-core-tools.

MANDATORY COMMENT FORMAT — include this Phase 1 table in your review comment:

Phase 1 — AGENTS.md review

Check	Result
Protocol-driven / no heavy impl in core	✅ or ❌ + one-line rationale
Backward compatible	✅ or ❌ + one-line rationale
Performance (hot path)	✅ or ❌ + one-line rationale
SDK value	✅ or ❌ + one-line rationale (explicitly judge whether the change strengthens the SDK)
No Agent param bloat	✅ or ❌ + one-line rationale
Repo routing	✅ or ❌ + one-line rationale

For TypeScript PRs (src/praisonai-ts/), also add:
| TS types / parity / tests | ✅ or ❌ + one-line rationale (npm run build && npm test) |

Phase 2: FIX Valid Issues
7. For any VALID bugs or architectural flaws found by Gemini, CodeRabbit, Qodo, Copilot, or any other reviewer: implement the fix
8. Also independently identify and fix any gaps or issues you find in the changed code — do not rely only on prior reviewer feedback
9. Push all code fixes directly to THIS branch (do NOT create a new PR)
10. Comment a summary of exact files modified and what you skipped

Phase 3: Final Verdict
11. Never Approve or write “Approve for merge” if any Phase 1 row is ❌, if rule 6b/6c applies, or if the change belongs in PraisonAI-Tools/PraisonAI-Plugins. Use Request changes, redirect to the external repo, and recommend closing the monorepo PR when routing is wrong.
12. Approve only when every Phase 1 row is ✅ (including Repo routing and SDK value) and blocking issues are resolved; otherwise request changes with clear action items

Add an invalid preset_override array test.

The existing invalid-preset tests use scalar strings. The array tests cover only valid presets, so a regression that silently accepts an unknown array preset would pass.

The first-match collision case is not an established contract. _match_preset_key() currently returns the first dictionary-order match, but no inspected test or documentation requires that behavior.

Phase 1 — AGENTS.md review

Check	Result
Protocol-driven / no heavy impl in core	✅ Pure in-memory arg resolution in config/; no heavy deps, no protocols touched
Backward compatible	✅ Canonical-key lookup is a strict superset of the old raw in presets check; exact matches behave identically
Performance (hot path)	✅ _match_preset_key is one .strip().lower().replace() + a generator scan over a tiny preset dict; no fuzzy matching on the happy path
SDK value	✅ Genuine robustness fix — kills a silent wrong-default (memory=["SQLITE"] → backend='file') and a self-contradicting error (["VERBOSE"] rejected while suggesting verbose). Aligns array path with the documented string-path spelling rule; no new knobs/params
No Agent param bloat	✅ No new Agent params; internal resolver only
Repo routing	✅ Correctly in praisonaiagents/config/ — core SDK logic, not a vendor tool/plugin

Phase 2 — fixes applied

Verified the implementation is correct against reviewer feedback:

• _match_preset_key() (param_resolver.py:172) correctly delegates to canonical_preset_key (same rule as _resolve_string and validate_preset_string) — Greptile's concern about preset fields surviving overrides is satisfied: the matched key is returned and merge_config_with_overrides rebuilds from the base.
• Local import of canonical_preset_key inside the helper deliberately avoids colliding with the open fix: use canonical_preset_key in param_resolver (DRY cleanup) #5226 — reasonable.

Implemented CodeRabbit's nitpick (the one valid outstanding item):

• src/praisonai-agents/tests/unit/config/test_param_resolver.py — added test_preset_override_array_rejects_unknown_preset. The prior array tests covered only valid presets; this negative case guards the closed set so a future regression that widens matching into silent acceptance of unknown presets is caught.

Skipped:

• CodeRabbit's note on first-match collision ordering — correctly flagged by CodeRabbit itself as "not an established contract"; no code change warranted.
• No independent bugs found in the diff.

Phase 3 — Verdict

✅ Approve for merge. Every Phase 1 row passes; routing is correct (core config/ resolver, not Tools/Plugins); the change is minimal, backward-compatible, and strengthens the SDK by removing a quiet correctness bug. The only outstanding review item (negative array test) is now implemented and pushed. The 6 config-suite failures are pre-existing and unrelated (missing praisonaiagents[llm] extra in CI env).
