Code Review
This pull request introduces an interactive action system for messages, allowing agents to attach clickable buttons with server-side callbacks. Key components include a new ActionButtons React component, an Action registry with an @action_callback decorator, and a dedicated API endpoint for handling button clicks. Feedback identifies a runtime TypeError in the Action constructor when using add_action, a missing MessageContext during action dispatch that prevents server-side side effects like action.remove(), and a security vulnerability where action callbacks could be triggered without session verification. Additionally, improvements were suggested for user-facing error notifications, async callback validation, and preventing accidental registry overwrites.

The Action dataclass does not accept **kwargs in its constructor. Passing them here will cause a TypeError at runtime if any extra arguments are provided to add_action. Note that the legacy dict fallback at line 363 does support them, creating an inconsistency in behavior.

The endpoint trusts the action_name provided in the request body to look up and execute a callback. An attacker could potentially trigger any registered action callback by guessing its name, even if that action was never presented to them in the current session or message. The server should verify that the requested action name is valid for the specified message_id and session_id by checking the message history.

| action_name=action_name, | ||

| message_id=message_id, | ||

| ) |

The dispatch_action_callback is called without setting up a MessageContext. This means that any calls to action.remove() or Message(...).send() inside the callback will fail or return early because _get_context() will return None. You should wrap the dispatch in a context, similar to how run_agent works, to ensure server-side side effects can be communicated back to the UI.

The decorator should verify that the provided callback is an asynchronous function, as it is awaited during dispatch in dispatch_action_callback. If a synchronous function is provided, it will raise a TypeError at runtime.

| raise ValueError("Action callback must be callable") | |

Summary
Implements interactive message actions with server-side
@action_callbackhooks as specified in issue #15. Agents can now attach clickable action buttons to individual messages with Python callbacks that execute when clicked. This enables common UI patterns like approve/reject flows, retry mechanisms, and progressive disclosure. The implementation adds a newActionclass insrc/praisonaiui/actions.py, extends theMessageclass with anactionsfield, includes a new React componentActionButtons.tsxfor frontend rendering, and provides a secure server endpoint for action dispatch with proper session verification.Before / After
