+Before a dependent role's sandbox is created, the verified pod IPs of its dependencies are injected as environment variables into the pod template. To ensure compatibility with standard shell naming conventions, any hyphens or non-alphanumeric characters in the role name are replaced by underscores.

+The naming convention is:
 
 ```
-AGENTCUBE_DEP_{ROLE_NAME_UPPER}_ENDPOINT = {podIP}:{port}
+AGENTCUBE_DEP_{ROLE_NAME_SANITISED_UPPER}_ENDPOINT = {podIP}:{port}
 ```
 
-For a role with `dependencies: [planner]`, the pod receives:
+**Port Resolution Rule:**
+* If the dependency's `AgentRuntime` CRD defines a single port, that port is used.
+* If it defines multiple ports, the system first looks for a port named `http` or `default`. If no such port is found, it falls back to the first port in the ports list.
+
+For a role with `dependencies: [my-planner]` (where the planner exposes `8080` as the first port), the dependent pod receives:
 
 ```
-AGENTCUBE_DEP_PLANNER_ENDPOINT = 10.0.0.4:8080
+AGENTCUBE_DEP_MY_PLANNER_ENDPOINT = 10.0.0.4:8080
 ```
 
 Injection happens in-memory inside `createSandboxGroup()` by mutating the pod template before it is passed to `buildSandboxByAgentRuntime()`. The referenced `AgentRuntime` CRD object in the informer cache is never written.

+Both `store_redis.go` and `store_valkey.go` implement these methods using the key prefix `agentgroup:`. 
 
-> **Note:** `UpdateAgentGroupRoleStatus` performs a read-modify-write on the manifest JSON. Under high concurrency this could race, but group manifests are updated infrequently (only during self-healing) and only by the reconciler, so optimistic concurrency control is not required in the initial implementation.
+> **Store Implementation Note:** To prevent race conditions in a distributed environment during concurrent updates, the store backends (Redis/Valkey) implement group manifests using a **Redis Hash** (`HSET agentgroup:{groupSessionID}`) instead of a raw JSON string.
+> 
+> The hash fields map directly to roles and their metadata (e.g., `HSET agentgroup:{groupSessionID} role:{roleName} <json>`), allowing atomic field-level updates without rewriting the full manifest JSON, avoiding read-modify-write races.
