* fix(core): prevent ModelSettings default max_output_tokens from overriding agent config
When a conversation's model_settings were saved, the Pydantic default
of max_output_tokens=4096 was always persisted to the DB even when the
client never specified it. On subsequent messages, this default would
overwrite the agent's max_tokens (typically None) with 4096, silently
capping output.
Two changes:
1. Use model_dump(exclude_unset=True) when persisting model_settings
to the DB so Pydantic defaults are not saved.
2. Add model_fields_set guards at all callsites that apply
_to_legacy_config_params() to skip max_tokens when it was not
explicitly provided by the caller.
Also conditionally set max_output_tokens in the OpenAI Responses API
request builder so None is not sent as null (which some models treat
as a hard 4096 cap).
* nit
* Fix model_settings serialization to preserve provider_type discriminator
Replace blanket exclude_unset=True with targeted removal of only
max_output_tokens when not explicitly set. The previous approach
stripped the provider_type field (a Literal with a default), which
broke discriminated union deserialization when reading back from DB.
* feat: recompile system message on new conversation creation
When a new conversation is created, the system prompt is now recompiled
with the latest memory block values and metadata instead of starting
with no messages. This ensures each conversation captures the current
agent state at creation time.
- Add _initialize_conversation_system_message to ConversationManager
- Compile fresh system message using PromptGenerator during conversation creation
- Add integration tests for the full workflow (modify memory → new conversation
gets updated system message)
- Update existing test expectations for non-empty conversation messages
Fixes#9507

* refactor: deduplicate system message compilation into ConversationManager
Consolidate the duplicate system message compilation logic into a single
shared method `compile_and_save_system_message_for_conversation` on
ConversationManager. This method accepts optional pre-loaded agent_state
and message_manager to avoid redundant DB loads when callers already have
them.
- Renamed _initialize_conversation_system_message → compile_and_save_system_message_for_conversation (public, reusable)
- Added optional agent_state and message_manager params
- Replaced 40-line duplicate in helpers.py with a 7-line call to the shared method
- Method returns the persisted system message for caller use

* feat: add order_by and order params to /v1/conversations list endpoint [LET-7628]
Added sorting support to the conversations list endpoint, matching the pattern from /v1/agents.
**API Changes:**
- Added `order` query param: "asc" or "desc" (default: "desc")
- Added `order_by` query param: "created_at" or "last_run_completion" (default: "created_at")
**Implementation:**
**created_at ordering:**
- Simple ORDER BY on ConversationModel.created_at
- No join required, fast query
- Nulls not applicable (created_at always set)
**last_run_completion ordering:**
- LEFT JOIN with runs table using subquery
- Subquery: MAX(completed_at) grouped by conversation_id
- Uses OUTER JOIN so conversations with no runs are included
- Nulls last ordering (conversations with no runs go to end)
- Index on runs.conversation_id ensures performant join
**Pagination:**
- Cursor-based pagination with `after` parameter
- Handles null values correctly for last_run_completion
- For created_at: simple timestamp comparison
- For last_run_completion: complex null-aware cursor logic
**Performance:**
- Existing index: `ix_runs_conversation_id` on runs table
- Subquery with GROUP BY is efficient for this use case
- OUTER JOIN ensures conversations without runs are included
**Follows agents pattern:**
- Same parameter names (order, order_by)
- Same Literal types and defaults
- Converts "asc"/"desc" to ascending boolean internally

* feat: make agent_id optional in conversations list endpoint [LET-7612]
Allow listing all conversations without filtering by agent_id.
**Router changes (conversations.py):**
- Changed agent_id from required (`...`) to optional (`None`)
- Updated description to clarify behavior
- Updated docstring to reflect optional filtering
**Manager changes (conversation_manager.py):**
- Updated list_conversations signature: agent_id: str → Optional[str]
- Updated docstring to clarify optional behavior
- Summary search query: conditionally adds agent_id filter only if provided
- Default list logic: passes agent_id (can be None) to list_async
**How it works:**
- Without agent_id: returns all conversations for the user's organization
- With agent_id: returns conversations filtered by that agent
- list_async handles None gracefully via **kwargs pattern
**Use case:**
- Cloud UI can list all user conversations across agents
- Still supports filtering by agent_id when needed

* fix(core): handle PermissionDeniedError in provider API key validation
Fixed OpenAI PermissionDeniedError being raised as unknown error when
validating provider API keys. The check_api_key methods in OpenAI-based
providers (OpenAI, OpenRouter, Azure, Together) now properly catch and
re-raise PermissionDeniedError as LLMPermissionDeniedError.

* fix(core): handle MCP tool schema validation errors gracefully
Catch fastmcp.exceptions.ToolError in execute_mcp_tool endpoint and
convert to LettaInvalidArgumentError (400) instead of letting it
propagate as 500 error. This is an expected user error when tool
arguments don't match the MCP tool's schema.

* fix(core): handle ExceptionGroup-wrapped ToolError in MCP executor
When MCP tools fail with validation errors (e.g., missing required parameters),
fastmcp raises ToolError exceptions that may be wrapped in ExceptionGroup by
Python's async TaskGroup. The exception handler now unwraps single-exception
groups before checking if the error should be handled gracefully.
Fixes Calendly API "organization parameter missing" errors being logged to
Datadog instead of returning friendly error messages to users.
