feat(agent-loader): add runner_config support for interval and ignored_sender_ids

[Edison-A-N]

Add runner_config Support for Agent YAML Configuration

Summary

Adds runner_config section to agent YAML configuration files, allowing users to configure runtime parameters for AgentRunner including polling interval and ignored sender IDs.

Changes

• Added runner_config section to agent YAML configuration

  • interval: Polling interval in seconds (default: 1)
  • ignored_sender_ids: List of agent IDs to ignore messages from

• Updated agent_loader.py to extract and pass runner_config parameters to AgentRunner

• Added comprehensive tests for runner_config loading:

  • Full configuration test
  • Default values test
  • Partial configuration test

• Updated documentation in yaml-based-agents.mdx with runner_config reference

Use Cases

1. Prevent infinite loops: Configure agents to ignore messages from specific agents to prevent response loops
2. Control polling frequency: Adjust interval to optimize CPU usage or responsiveness
3. Filter noisy agents: Ignore messages from agents that generate excessive traffic

Example

agent_id: "founder"

config:
  model_name: "gpt-4o-mini"
  instruction: "You are a startup founder."
  react_to_all_messages: true

runner_config:
  interval: 2
  ignored_sender_ids:
    - "agent:engineer"
    - "agent:investor"

Testing

All existing tests pass. Added 3 new test cases covering:

• ✅ Full runner_config configuration
• ✅ Default values when runner_config is absent
• ✅ Partial configuration (only ignored_sender_ids or only interval)

Related Issues

Addresses the need for preventing agent-to-agent infinite loops in multi-agent scenarios.
