UploadsMiddleware defines only the sync `before_agent` hook. LangChain wires a
sync-only hook as `RunnableCallable(before_agent, None)`, and LangGraph's
`ainvoke` runs it directly on the event loop when `afunc is None` — so the
per-message uploads-directory scan (`exists`/`iterdir`/`stat` plus reading
sibling `.md` outlines) blocks the asyncio event loop on every message that has
an uploads directory.
Add `abefore_agent` that offloads the scan to a worker thread via
`run_in_executor`; it copies the current context, preserving the `user_id`
contextvar read by `get_effective_user_id()`.
Add a runtime anchor under `tests/blocking_io/` that drives the real
`create_agent` graph via `ainvoke` under the strict Blockbuster gate, so a
regression back onto the event loop fails CI. Update blocking-IO docs.
