Garry Tan 52332073b0 fix: adversarial-review hardening — fail-closed consents + honest scope prose
consentAnswer: a present-but-unusable answer (non-string, empty, bare {})
now fails CLOSED to 'no' with a stderr note — a bank-default fall-through
could flip a damaged opt-out into consent (cross-model finding); 'no' is
every consent key's safe reading (no hooks, no cron, project scope). Pinned
by a malformed-HOOKS_CONSENT matrix case asserting hooks are declined.
Codex scope note: names the safe remediation (--skip MCP_SCOPE + reconfirm;
never --set user — the answer git-syncs to paired Claude Code machines and
would widen their scope) [codex review P2]. Prose states the user-global
registration's read+write reach honestly (runbook, ACCESS_POLICY + vendored).
Interview resume_hint carries the consent-recording step (the CLI channel a
resumed install actually reads). Guard §(e): unparseable questions.json now
FAILS instead of passing silently. TODOS: P1 filed for stdio dispatch scope
parity (pre-existing, surfaced by the adversarial pass).

Garry Tan a8b2cbaf28 fix: pre-landing + red-team review hardening
Guard §(e): a valid-JSON bank missing its questions object now FAILS (it
silently passed both §a and §e); the pin also asserts MCP_SCOPE.phase is
'interview' so the schema half of the fix can't silently revert. Fixtures
for both + entry-vanished. consentAnswer says so on stderr when it discards
a malformed answer value (a silent fall-through could flip a damaged opt-out
to the permissive default) — pinned by a claude-code matrix case asserting
the receipt. Off-ramp texts gain the narrow `codex mcp remove gbrain`
alongside full uninstall (note, runbook, ACCESS_POLICY + vendored copy).
Cross-refs de-ordinaled (phase names, not numbers — master renumbers steps).
TODOS A8 entry gains the healing half (status can't distinguish consent-key
invalidation from tampering).

Garry Tan 9ea036d1b6 chore(ci): pin the harness-scoping counter-signals (check-bootstrap-templates §e)
Three SKIP-GRACEFUL tripwires: the runbook must carry "Do NOT offer an MCP
scope choice" and "Claude Code only"; questions.json's MCP_SCOPE.question
must start with "(Claude Code only". Guard-test fixtures gain a compliant
MCP_SCOPE entry + pass/fail cases for each pin.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 d35c9c9e44 v0.45.0.0 feat(bootstrap): paste-in personal-agent install for Codex + Claude Code (#3975)
* docs(designs): agent-bootstrap plan + design docs (normative, review-absorbed)

The scrubbed, in-repo sources of truth for the gbrain bootstrap wave:
AGENT_BOOTSTRAP_DESIGN.md (product scope/sequencing) and
AGENT_BOOTSTRAP_PLAN.md (implementation; all review-finding IDs inlined).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(bootstrap): format spec, question bank, identity templates, bundled assets

agent.json manifest (format_version 1, initialized sentinel) + machine-local
install receipt [CX2-1, CX2-12]; 12-question/6-required interview bank with
consent keys and a persist:false sink for the optional provider key [CX2-13];
ten {{TOKEN}} identity templates (generic, adapted to gbrain ops — gates call
recall/query/put_page, write-through-ops rule, keyless agent-authored facts,
silence contract); assets embedded compiled-binary-safe via file-type imports
[ENG-6].

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(bootstrap): runbook, README paste block, bootstrap guide, TODOS entries

BOOTSTRAP_FOR_AGENTS.md (agent-driven install runbook: CLI phase list is the
source of truth, never-invent rules, Codex approvals preflight, keyless posture,
failure-modes table, version stamp for the skew check); README gains the
full-agent paste block pinned to latest-stable inside the Claude Code/Codex
quick start (memory-only tier stays); docs/guides/bootstrap.md carries the full
install/security/consent/degradation/uninstall contract.

* docs(designs): spike instrument for the bootstrap wave (build order 0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(bootstrap): interview + render engines

Interview gate with read-back confirm-hash (any later answer change clears the
confirmation — the hostile single-batch case is structurally impossible),
per-answer provenance, caps + escaping at set time, config-sink routing for the
provider key; renderer with hard-fail token sweep, subordinate fencing of
principal input, never-clobber + backups, deterministic minimal mode for the
template repo, scaled byte floors. 58 unit tests.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(bootstrap): private-repo lifecycle — repo create, attach, uninstall, run lock

gh-gated private repo creation with API-verified privacy (rate-limit distinct
from public), refuse-foreign-origin with attach as the sanctioned path, atomic
bootstrap mutex (pid liveness + age + token), receipt-keyed uninstall that
never wholesale-deletes the gbrain home and only offers --delete-brain for a
brain it created; read-only PGLite lock probe (never opens the engine).
54 unit tests, injectable exec seam throughout.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(release): latest-stable ref, template-repo publish job, bootstrap CI guards

release.yml advances the latest-stable tag only after assets publish (the paste
block's permanent ref — copies in the wild never rot) and gains a PAT-gated
publish-template job verified against the vendored tree; two skip-graceful
guards (sanctioned-ref + runbook stamp; template/token bijection + placeholder
assertion + generator byte-diff) wired into verify; README + runbook re-admitted
to the CI cache hash; vendored deterministic template tree generated.

* feat(context): IPC v2 turn_context + 8KB assembly + visibility resolver + session identity

Discriminated-union IPC with handler map, protocol echo (stale-serve detection),
shared-secret gate, server-side source binding, per-kind budgets; turn-context
assembly (reflex pointers + volunteered pages + world-only hot facts) under a
data-not-instructions envelope trimmed to the harness's 10KB hook-output cap;
facts.default_visibility resolved through one helper at all four sites (explicit
caller wins, typos fail closed); typed sessionId threads _meta.session_id into
the hot-memory cache key. 50 new tests; 180 adjacent tests confirmed green.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(persistence): secret-scan, gbrain sources push, durability unification

Pattern secret scanner (own runtime allowlist, redacted previews, corpus-write
redaction mode); sources push runs the whole scan→stage→commit→pull→push
sequence under one cross-platform lock (mkdir-atomic, pid+age+token) with a
deny-glob backstop, commit-first divergence-safe pull, refuse-unverifiable
visibility, and push-status telemetry; gbrain-home choke point unifies
GBRAIN_HOME semantics with config (0700); durability is parent-repo-aware and
rotates its push log at 0600. 35 new tests; 200 existing green.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(sources): harden/pull gates accept sources inside a parent git repo

The bootstrap workspace registers brain/ (a subdirectory) as the source; the
durability core already resolves the repo root, so the command gates now check
inside-a-repo rather than .git-right-here [CX2-3].

* feat(serve): resident maintenance sweep + keyless capability probe

The lock-owning serve process now closes the persistence loop: startup (3s
post-connect, best-effort, unref'd) and idle (10-min quiet intervals through
the injectable timer seam) sweeps run facts-fence reconciliation, deterministic
link/timeline extraction over recent workspace pages, and spend-gated corpus
ingest (skipped keyless — agent-authored fences cover it). gbrain sweep --once
is the trusted CLI seam bootstrap verify uses. Capability probe renders the
honest keyless/keyed report. Full reuse of the cycle extractor + extract cores;
26 new tests, neighbors green.

* feat(hooks): engine-free gbrain hook command, settings writers, transcript parser

Four hook events (session-start digest + crashed-session recovery push,
user-prompt turn-context injection under an 800ms deadline and the 10KB cap,
stop buffers, session-end corpus write with redaction/retention/dedup +
best-effort push); structural JSON settings merger keyed by a _gbrain marker
(foreign hooks and permissions survive); dated host-spec registry; Claude Code
.jsonl parser as a spec-target with a scrubbed 7-shape fixture. Heartbeat is
counters-only by construction. 59 tests; zero engine modules in the import
graph.

* docs(bootstrap): cross-link the full-agent path from the connection docs

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(bootstrap): dispatcher, verify, status — the command assembled

gbrain bootstrap {status,interview,render,repo,hooks,verify,uninstall,attach}:
engine-free except verify (owns its engine, in-process sweep — no live-serve
conflict); phase list is the TS source of truth with install.jsonl telemetry
and the support blob; verify's fail-soft check suite covers the real write path
(put_page → write-through file → sweep → graph floor → recall), passes keyless,
persists snapshots, and ends with the first-run tour. cli.ts wired per the
three-touchpoint rule; doctor gains the bootstrap check group (silent on
machines with no bootstrap state). 28 new tests; 353 adjacent green.

* docs: KEY_FILES bootstrap cluster + CLAUDE.md dispatcher row (+ build:llms)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(bootstrap): e2e pins — hook-under-live-serve, attach, degraded modes, compiled binary, Docker harness

The permanent pins: a real serve holds the PGLite lock while the engine-free
hook completes (and a direct engine open provably throws LiveServeLockError);
stale-socket fail-open; machine-2 attach with marker-keyed hook repair;
decline-everything installs verify green with every degradation named; the
compiled binary renders bundled templates in an empty cwd. Offline Docker
harness (networkless, read-only) gated into heavy-tests.

* fix(bootstrap): register doctor check categories + system-of-record allow comments

The six bootstrap doctor checks join OPS_CHECK_NAMES; the sweep's batch link/
timeline inserts carry the explicit extract-path allow comments (the sweep IS
the extraction path for workspace pages).

* fix(test): shard wedge cap tracks suite growth (1500s -> 1800s)

At ~9000 tests a healthy shard finished at 1466s and two progressing shards
were false-killed at the old cap; 1800s restores ~25% headroom over the
slowest observed healthy shard. Real hangs still hit it.

* test(ci): cache-hash policy — README + runbook edits must invalidate [C2]

The old deny-list assertion predates the paste block; README.md and
BOOTSTRAP_FOR_AGENTS.md are policy-doc re-admissions now, so their edits must
change the hash (a paste-block edit shipping under a cached green was the C2
hole).

* fix(test): classify post-suite exit-hangs as warn-pass; file the leak forensics

A shard killed by the wedge watchdog with every assigned file started and zero
fail markers did all its work and leaked a handle at exit — pre-existing and
master-reproducible (P1 TODO carries the full bisect forensics). Bun's per-test
timeout turns a hung test into a (fail), so the classifier cannot mask one.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(test): shard cap 2400s — the count-balanced heavy shard needs it under contention

Observed: the heavy shard still progressing 22s before an 1800s kill while
siblings finish at 1150-1550s (split balances file count, not weight). Filed
the load-sensitive WAL-repair flake (pre-existing, master's v0.42.75.0 wave).

* test(bootstrap): quarantine env-mutating suites to the serial lane

check-test-isolation R1: six new files mutate GBRAIN_HOME/env at module scope —
the serial lane (one process per file) is the guard's prescribed home for them.
All 114 tests pass post-rename.

* docs(readme): per-harness install sections — Codex, Claude Code, then OpenClaw/Hermes

Each harness gets its own complete paste-block section (desktop app first,
terminal noted — Claude Code CLI is the identical harness; Codex CLI works
pull-based today); the OpenClaw/Hermes platform path keeps equal weight with
its one-click deploys and INSTALL_FOR_AGENTS block intact; memory-only and
remote-connect tiers consolidated under 'Lighter ways in'. Supersedes the
review's D5 ordering by user direction; stale heading references updated.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs(readme): Codex as the recommended first step; OpenClaw/Hermes framed as-intended, high-cost

The install section now routes newcomers explicitly: Codex first
(subscription-priced, nothing to deploy), OpenClaw/Hermes as GBrain used the
way it was designed — always on, at real server + API cost.

* fix: doc-audit code chasers — broken recovery hints, stale op description, auto_link key

Four small code fixes surfaced by the markdown accuracy audit:
- doctor's auto-RLS recovery hint pointed at `apply-migrations --force-retry 35`,
  which cannot work (--force-retry targets the vX.Y.Z orchestrator registry, not
  the numeric schema MIGRATIONS array). Hint now points at the recreate SQL in
  docs/guides/rls-and-you.md; test pins against regression.
- v0_11_0 migration printed the same broken-mechanism class of hint
  (`config set minion_mode` writes DB config nothing reads); now names
  `apply-migrations --mode` + preferences.json, the real setter.
- submit_job's op description hardcoded a stale handler list; now points at
  registerBuiltinHandlers as the source plus the --follow discovery trick.
- `auto_link` added to KNOWN_CONFIG_KEYS: read by link-extraction, reconcile-links,
  and sweep, and documented as the off-switch in brain-ops/maintain, but the
  allowlist rejected `config set auto_link false`.

* docs: repo-wide accuracy + MECE reform from the 9-bucket markdown audit

A code-grounded audit of every markdown file (root, architecture, guides,
mcp, tutorials, docs-root, operations/eval/designs, skills, recipes) followed
by a fix wave with per-bucket ownership. Four classes of change:

Accuracy — every documented command/flag verified against src/ before writing:
dead commands replaced with working ones (pages purge-deleted, jobs watch
--follow, gbrain restore, import-based Obsidian flow, space-separated --scopes,
real thin-client recipes, working isolation verification, real supervisor
restart procedure, curl-based ngrok health check, real minion_mode setter);
count drift fixed with rot-proof phrasing (100+ ops, 50+ bundled skills via
skills/manifest.json, 140+ engine methods, KNOBS_HASH_VERSION pointer instead
of hardcoded versions); stale claims corrected (search-mode defaults, RETRIEVAL
pipeline order incl. autocut, sentinel rules, refusal-list mechanism, engine
snapshot, shard cap 2400s + EXIT-HANG classifier in TESTING.md, latest-stable +
publish-template documented in RELEASING.md as release.yml promises).

MECE — one home per concept, pointers elsewhere: test isolation → TESTING.md;
OAuth registration + --bind/--public-url lore → DEPLOY.md; mode bundles →
guides/search-modes.md (the home the CLAUDE.md dispatcher always promised);
merge contract → schema-packs.md; WAL ladder → ENGINES.md; quiet-hours →
quiet-hours.md; capture taxonomy → entity-detection.md; person-page taxonomy →
compiled-truth.md; brain-first protocol → brain-first-lookup.md; refresh
semantics → refresh-algorithm.md; KEY_FILES.md deduplicated (58 extension
entries merged, one entry per file); infra-layer.md rewritten as a pointer page.

Privacy — placeholder sweep across guides, docs, skills, and recipes per the
iron rule; per-release narration stripped from reference docs (current-state
prose only).

Bootstrap coverage — AGENTS.md pointer, RESOLVER routing row, INSTALL.md path,
tutorial cross-links, keyless-mode sections in spend-controls/headless-install.

skills.lock.json regenerated; llms.txt/llms-full.txt rebuilt. Gates: verify
36/36, typecheck clean, doctor 96/96, skills-integrity + resolver + build-llms
+ config-set + migrations all green.

* docs(readme): refresh production-brain stats to current brain-repo counts

155,795 pages / 24,589 people / 5,340 companies, counted from the brain
repo's current HEAD; the "100K-page brain" framing moves to 150K to match.
Cron-fleet count unchanged (its store lives on the deployment host, not in
the repos available for verification).

* fix(scan,push): modern OpenAI/Voyage key patterns, scan staged blobs not disk

- secret-scan matches sk-proj-/sk-svcacct-/sk-None- and pa- Voyage keys
  (the bare sk- pattern missed every current OpenAI key format).
- workspacePush stages first, then scans the staged index blobs via
  git cat-file, closing the scan-then-stage TOCTOU where a file changed
  between snapshot and commit shipped unscanned.
- shared binary-sniff helper, memoized glob regexes, atomic push-status
  write, and tests for pull_conflict + gitignored deny-match paths.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(ci): regenerate flag registry for new commands, harden shard classifier + release token

- cli-flag-registry.generated.ts regenerated: bootstrap/hook/sweep and
  sources push --message/--allow-unverified-remote were missing, so the
  strict #2185 validator rejected real invocations and skipped the new
  commands entirely.
- EXIT-HANG shard classifier now requires every assigned file to have
  started before warn-passing a watchdog kill (was fail-open).
- release.yml passes TEMPLATE_REPO_PAT via http.extraheader, off the argv.
- compiled-binary e2e fails loud in CI instead of a silent permanent skip.

* fix(hook,sweep,ipc): non-blocking hook pushes, bounded sweep + cache, source-bound resolve

- session-start/session-end no longer run synchronous git + inline push
  inside their self-deadline; a detached child does the push and the hook
  returns immediately (blocked Claude Code startup for minutes on a dirty
  tree before).
- serve sweep drops the unbounded listAllPageRefs, resolves only candidate
  targets, claims corpus files atomically (no double-LLM-spend race), and
  caps the fence LIKE scan; heartbeat writes are O_APPEND with rare compaction.
- hot-memory cache evicts expired entries and bounds entry count (the key is
  caller-controlled via _meta.session_id).
- v1 resolve IPC honors boundSourceId like turn_context; turn-context runs
  its arms concurrently. doctor reads push/heartbeat thresholds from hook.ts.
- new tests: doctor bootstrap checks, hook push-gate + deadline, concurrent
  sweep claims, cache eviction, bound-source resolve.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(bootstrap): origin-ownership gate, world visibility, collision-safe source id, consent + templates

- repo adoption requires an exact receipt repo_url match or authed-owner
  check (undefined repo_url was a wildcard); create verifies privacy BEFORE
  the first push.
- verify sets facts.default_visibility=world if unset, so agent-authored
  facts surface in per-turn context (they defaulted private before).
- source_id derives a path-hash suffix when 'workspace' is taken by another
  checkout; every consumer reads manifest.source_id.
- skipped HOOKS_CONSENT now declines (was falling through to default yes);
  --minimal refuses on an initialized manifest; tilde fences escaped.
- MCP registration pins --surface full; status hard-fails a public origin
  (template door); receipt writers guard against newer/corrupt receipts;
  uninstall only claims brain-deleted after a real rm.
- templates ship jobs disabled + provider-consent + support-relay lines;
  soul-audit re-runs over the shared interview bank. TODOS: 11 follow-ups.

* fix(security): close adversarial-review findings — scan fails closed, whole-PEM redaction, bound repo push

Cross-model adversarial pass (Claude + Codex) on the bootstrap wave:

- secret scan fails CLOSED: an unreadable, oversized, or binary staged blob
  now blocks the push (blocked_unscannable, exit 5) instead of committing
  unscanned; only a confirmed staged deletion is skipped. This was the
  headline "block secrets before they leave the machine" property failing open.
- private-key redaction spans the whole PEM block (header+body+footer), not
  just the header line — the base64 body no longer survives into the corpus
  the sweep sends to an extraction provider.
- bootstrap repo commits the workspace (secret-scan-gated) before the first
  push and verifies the remote actually received it, so a push-fail retry
  can't adopt an empty remote as success.
- privacy verify is re-bound to origin immediately before push (a concurrent
  origin rewrite between verify and push is refused).
- session-end corpus write is atomic and clears the stale ingested/in-progress
  sidecars so a resumed session's appended transcript is re-ingested.
- public-origin refusal enforced at render (not only status); MCP "already
  registered" is verified to target this workspace, not blessed blindly;
  verify probe cleanup scopes deletes to its own slugs, not a token substring;
  allowlist fingerprint floor raised 8→16 hex.

* v0.45.0.0 feat(bootstrap): paste-in personal-agent install for Codex + Claude Code

Turns a Codex or Claude Code session into a persistent personal agent:
interview-rendered identity files, a local PGLite brain, per-turn context via
serve IPC (Claude Code hooks / Codex pull protocol), session-triggered
persistence, and a private GitHub repo as the agent's portable body. Keyless-
first (the harness model is the LLM; one optional key adds embeddings +
extraction). New `gbrain bootstrap` command family + `gbrain hook` + `gbrain
sweep`; doctor bootstrap health checks; latest-stable distribution ref +
template-repo publish job. Opt-in, additive — existing installs untouched.

* fix: regenerate flag registry for security-fix flags; drop fabricated gbrain capabilities doc ref

CI caught two real failures under the merged state:
- the flag registry lagged the blocked_unscannable/exit-5 flags the security
  round added, tripping the #2185 freshness guard.
- headless-install.md described the keyless capability report as a
  `gbrain capabilities` command, which the #3502 doc-command resolver
  rejects — reworded to prose (the real surface is bootstrap verify's report).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: sync KEY_FILES + bootstrap plan to security-fix behavior

Cross-referenced the security-fix round against the reference docs and
corrected the drift those commits introduced:

- workspace-push.ts entry: stage-FIRST-then-scan order (the TOCTOU fix),
  fail-closed blocked_unscannable, and the sources-push status -> exit-code map.
- hooks.ts entry: MCP registration pins `serve --surface full`.
- hook.ts entry: session-start/session-end pushes run in a detached child
  (non-blocking); atomic corpus write clears stale sidecars.
- bootstrap.ts entry: render hard-refuses a public origin (template door).
- verify.ts entry: source_id collision resolution (workspace-<path-hash>).
- AGENT_BOOTSTRAP_PLAN as-shipped delta note for the scan/stage reorder.

llms bundle unchanged (KEY_FILES is link-only); build:llms and
test/build-llms.test.ts green.

* fix(ci): silence SC2016 on the intentional askpass literal in release.yml

The one-shot GIT_ASKPASS script must contain literal $1 and
$TEMPLATE_REPO_PAT so they expand when /bin/sh runs it at git's credential
prompt, not when the outer shell writes the file — single quotes are correct.
Add a scoped shellcheck disable so actionlint passes.

* fix(skills): declare 'bootstrap my data' trigger in cold-start frontmatter

The doc reform added 'bootstrap my data' to cold-start's RESOLVER.md row (to
disambiguate data-bootstrap from agent-bootstrap) but not to the skill's own
frontmatter triggers, tripping the RESOLVER↔frontmatter round-trip contract
(resolver.test.ts). Declare it; regenerate skills.lock.json.

* feat(bootstrap): default per-turn hooks + search mode ON without a prompt

Installing gbrain for your coding agent IS the consent for the behaviors that
make it work, so stop re-litigating them with install-time questions whose
"no" defeats the product:

- Per-turn hooks (Claude Code) install ON by default — no prompt. Off-ramps:
  `--no-hooks` at install, `GBRAIN_HOOKS=0` at runtime, `bootstrap uninstall`.
  The "hooks installed" line now surfaces the kill switch so default-on is
  never silent. A persisted HOOKS_CONSENT=no (interview --skip) still declines.
- Search mode defaults to `balanced` silently (nobody knows the modes at
  install; `gbrain search modes` changes it any time).
- MCP scope stays the ONE deliberate prompt — project vs user is a real
  cross-repo privacy choice, not friction.

Marks the two consents `silent: true` in the question bank (new QuestionSpec
field), rewrites the runbook phases so the agent no longer asks them, adds the
`--no-hooks` flag (+ registry regen), and adds default-on / opt-out tests.

* test(bootstrap): real end-to-end coverage — cross-session recall, per-turn content, Codex door, realistic corpus

Closes the seven e2e gaps a coverage audit surfaced: the plumbing was
well-unit-tested but the product claims ("Codex works, context shows up every
turn with real content, it remembers across restarts, machine two recovers,
Postgres works") were unproven end to end. Test-only wave — zero src changes.

- Hermetic synthetic corpus (test/fixtures/bootstrap-corpus/ + a loader helper):
  12 interlinked pages (52 edges, timelines), 12 world/private beliefs, 8 gold
  queries — curated from the gbrain-evals synthetic corpora, 100% placeholder
  names, so recall is asserted on a real multi-entity brain instead of a
  2-node self-planted probe.
- GAP1 magic moment: author a fact via the real write path, disconnect the
  engine, reopen against the same DB, recall it — a real session boundary, not
  verify.ts's same-connection SQL read-back. Plus a source-isolation assertion.
- GAP2 per-turn content: hook-under-serve Pin 1 now seeds a known fact and
  asserts its text lands in the injected block AND private beliefs never do
  (was: empty brain, empty_block accepted as a pass).
- GAP3 Codex door: assert the rendered AGENTS.md carries the Gate-3 brain-first
  pull protocol; make the fake codex shim implement `mcp get` so the [FIX7]
  target-verification can actually fail; the Docker cold-machine harness now
  exercises the hooks/MCP registration step instead of skipping it.
- GAP4 corpus recall: turn-context + verify graph-floor/qrels run on the real
  multi-entity brain with real edges.
- GAP5 attach: machine-two now re-ingests the cloned brain/ into a fresh DB and
  recalls a fact authored only on machine one — the multi-device payoff.
- GAP6 keyed + Postgres (env-gated): real embeddings prove semantic recall a
  paraphrase query can reach but keyless BM25 cannot; bootstrap verify drives a
  real Postgres engine (skipIf DATABASE_URL/keys absent).
- GAP7 persistence: session-end runs the REAL push (not the mocked seam) to a
  local bare remote and the remote receives the content; a planted secret is
  blocked at the gate; the 15-min cron installs and fires a scan-gated push.

* test(bootstrap): real-agent e2e — drive the actual claude + codex binaries end to end

Closes the audit's biggest gap ("no real harness ever drives a turn"). Adapts
gstack's PTY/headless agent harness to prove the bootstrap install + smoke work
against the REAL binaries, not PATH shims. Test/CI/docs only — zero src changes.

- test/helpers/agent-harness.ts: hermetic clean-room child env (ported from
  gstack; drops CONDUCTOR_/CLAUDE_/GSTACK_/MCP_/GBRAIN_, promotes
  GSTACK_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY→ANTHROPIC_API_KEY), real-binary resolvers + auth
  probes, headless `claude -p --output-format stream-json` and `codex exec
  --json` turn runners, a gbrain stdio MCP-config writer, and a keyless brain
  seeder. + a fixture-parse unit test (no binary needed).
- test/e2e/bootstrap-real-claude.serial.test.ts: real `gbrain bootstrap`
  install → REAL `claude mcp add` (verified via `claude mcp get`) → verify
  exit 0 → a real `claude -p --mcp-config --strict-mcp-config` turn that
  invokes mcp__gbrain__search and answers from the brain (proven: toolCalls
  include mcp__gbrain__search, final text carries the seeded fact).
- test/e2e/bootstrap-real-codex.serial.test.ts: same install with REAL `codex
  mcp add` into a real ~/.codex/config.toml + Gate-3 pull-protocol assertion,
  then a real `codex exec --json` turn surfacing the fact (MCP or the pull-
  protocol shell path). Bounded retry absorbs codex's occasional MCP-call
  cancellation without softening the fact-requiring assertion.
- Everything hermetic (temp HOME/CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/CODEX_HOME/GBRAIN_HOME;
  real ~/.codex auth copied read-only) and skipIf-gated so it self-skips
  cleanly where the binaries/auth are absent.
- heavy-tests.yml: gated `real-agent-e2e` job (nightly/label, never the PR
  shard; no-op on a runner without authed binaries).
- TODOS: compiled `gbrain` binary can't serve a PGLite brain (bun compile
  omits the WASM/extension payloads); harness falls back to `bun run` serve.

Verified against live claude 4.6 + codex 0.147.0: 15 pass / 0 fail; verify
36/36; typecheck clean.

* fix(ci): real-agent-e2e job — bash array + --timeout (actionlint SC2086 + bun-test-timeout guard)

The real-agent-e2e job's file loop used an unquoted $FILES (SC2086) and ran
`bun test` without --timeout (check-bun-test-timeout guard). Switch to a bash
array and add --timeout=600000 (real-agent turns are slow; the tests self-skip
without authed binaries so it's a no-op elsewhere).

* fix(pglite): embed WASM + extension assets so the compiled binary can serve

A `bun build --compile` gbrain binary could not `serve` a PGLite brain: the
compile bundles JS but not PGLite's runtime payload (pglite.wasm, initdb.wasm,
pglite.data, vector/pg_trgm tarballs), so `serve` on PGLite died with a
bunfs/ENOENT. Now the assets ride inside the binary.

- src/core/pglite-embedded-assets.ts: embeds the five assets via
  `import … with { type: 'file' }` (the ENG-6 idiom) and exposes
  getEmbeddedPgliteOptions() → { pgliteWasmModule, initdbWasmModule, fsBundle,
  extensions:{vector,pg_trgm} }. WASM/fsBundle are consumed as bytes; the two
  extension tarballs are materialized to a content-addressed temp file (atomic,
  size-verified reuse) because PGLite reads them via fs.createReadStream, which
  cannot read a /$bunfs path. Unconditional (works in bun-run and compiled),
  so no fragile mode branch.
- src/core/pglite-engine.ts: static-import getEmbeddedPgliteOptions (engine
  path stays static per the engine-dynamic-import invariant); spread into both
  PGlite.create sites (initial + WAL-repair retry). The bunfs classifier stays
  as a backstop but no longer fires for a correct binary.
- scripts/check-pglite-embedded.sh (+ smoketest): compiles a focused binary and
  asserts it boots PGLite, CREATE EXTENSION vector/pg_trgm, and round-trips a
  page — wired into `bun run verify` (now 37 checks), check:all, and
  check:pglite-embedded. Fail-soft only when compile is unavailable.
- agent-harness.ts probeCompiledPglite now passes → the real-agent e2e uses the
  fast compiled MCP server. TODOS: the P2 "can't serve PGLite" item is closed.

Verified: fresh compiled binary ran `search`/`query` against a PGLite brain and
returned the seeded row (no bunfs/ENOENT); verify 37/37; pglite-engine 120/0
source-mode; typecheck clean; engine-dynamic-import + parity guards pass.

Public, reproducible, cross-harness benchmark for the four ways agent memory fails (know-to-ask, push precision/recall, write-back fidelity, cross-session continuity).

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 c5952b8714 v0.43.0.0 feat(mcp,search): MEMORY_VERBS v1 five-verb protocol + concept-question query steering (cathedral 1, #2416) (#2172)
* feat(verbs): MEMORY_VERBS v1 core — five frozen verbs over existing machinery

recall extended in place (G1B additive superset: protocol_version + string
fact_id/provenance on every response; query arm via cheap-hybrid with
keyword-only degradation when no embedding provider; op-layer budget packing
facts-first via the new generic packToBudget). remember/entity/synthesize/
forget as first-class Operations in src/core/verbs.ts (runtime leaf — TDZ-safe
both import directions) with MEMORY VERB descriptions, ToolAnnotations,
populated suggestions on every error (verbError + protocol ErrorCodes +
additive detail/protocol_version on OperationError.toJSON).

writeSingleFact (facts/write-single.ts): zero-LLM single-fact seam reusing the
pipeline's dedup; X1 deterministic supersession (same entity+kind, similar,
text differs -> supersedeId / fence expire+link); validUntil threaded through
FenceInputFact (was silently dropped). buildEntityCard (verbs/entity-card.ts):
reflex resolution arms + parallel depth-1 reads, per-arm degradation on
pre-page_aliases brains, near-miss suggestions with create_safety. runThink
gains additive usage aggregation; synthesize converts the no-LLM graceful
result to the unavailable protocol error and prices the cost block via
canonical model-pricing. RESPONSE_SCHEMAS registry + ERROR_SCHEMA for the
conformance kit.

* feat(mcp): MEMORY_VERBS v1 surface mode + fail-closed dispatch + usage sidecar

gbrain serve --surface verbs|full (config mcp_surface registered in the merge
allowlist; default full — existing installs unchanged). Enforcement is
two-layer and fail-closed: filtered ListTools AND dispatchToolCall's new
allowedOps set, applied on stdio + BOTH HTTP paths (serve-http.ts OAuth and
the second http-transport.ts). ToolAnnotations passthrough in buildToolDefs +
the HTTP inline mapper, emitted only when an op defines them (byte-stability
for existing tools). Verb validation/internal errors speak the protocol
envelope (suggestion + protocol_version) at the dispatch layer.

E4 observability: per-verb JSONL sidecar (usage-log.ts — local only, never
uploaded; O_APPEND line-atomic, lock-free 10MB rotation) written from dispatch
so param-validation failures count; brain_id via gbrainPath; doctor gains the
memory_verbs_usage check. CLI: human-readable rendering for remember/entity/
synthesize with trailing --json escape; gbrain recall gains --query +
--budget-tokens routed through the recall OP (same arm MCP exercises) with the
budget footer; the forget verb carries no cliHint (CLI_ONLY forget dispatches
first and would shadow it).

* feat(protocol): gbrain protocol — schemas, conformance kit, stats + TTHW

gbrain protocol [--json] emits the live verb input schemas + the hand-authored
RESPONSE_SCHEMAS + error contract + versioning policy. gbrain protocol
conformance certifies ANY MCP endpoint (default: self-spawned stdio; --target
http://...[--token] or a stdio command) against the embedded fixture set —
shape/enum/behavior/round-trip only, deterministic; entity-page cases seed via
put_page when available and skip honestly on verbs-only targets; synthesize is
cost-gated behind --synthesize (asserts the clean unavailable error on key-less
CI). Fixtures double as BrainBench seeds (test/fixtures/memory-verbs/cases.json
mirror). Self-certification passes 23/23 live.

gbrain protocol stats [--days N]: per-verb calls/error-rate/latency, budget
drops, entity hit rate, and measured TTHW (init stamps protocol_installed_at;
delta to the sidecar's first verb call) — local JSONL only, never uploaded.
init epilogues print the 3-command quickstart (mcp add --surface verbs +
key-free resurrection demo) with the visibility consent line. entity-card fix:
raw namespaced-slug input now matches exactly (slugify flattens slashes).

* test+docs(protocol): conformance suite, p99 gate, MEMORY_VERBS_v1 doc, funnel

test/memory-verbs-conformance.test.ts: 26 tests through dispatchToolCall —
G1B superset regression (legacy fields byte-equal, additions allowed), budget
math incl. budget<first-item, keyword degradation (never an error), remember
provenance/ttl-trap/null-echo, remote round-trip via the world default +
private facts hidden, entity card schema-validated with the chat gateway
rigged to throw (zero-LLM guard) + all arms + fence test, synthesize
[EXPENSIVE + annotations + clean unavailable, forget idempotency/not_found,
writeSingleFact X1 supersession via the embed-transport seam + degraded
dedup, the F3 negative self-test (the runner FAILS lying servers: dropped
fields, bad enums, re-typed ids), fixture-mirror drift guard.
test/mcp-surface.test.ts: verbs=exactly 5, full=identity, dispatch-layer
fail-closed, strict flag parsing. test/entity-card-perf.slow.test.ts: 20K
pages/100K links/30K aliases/40K facts — measured p99 22.9ms vs the 100ms
contract + a recalibrated 50x ratio guard; wired into the CI perf job along
with stdio self-certification (23/23 CONFORMANT live). tool-defs byte-
stability test now pins per-op: ops WITHOUT annotations keep the exact
pre-v1 shape.

docs/protocol/MEMORY_VERBS_v1.md: the frozen contract — envelopes, error
codes, additive-forever policy, ttl forms (P30D rejected), status-not-
status_text, surface modes + why default full, per-harness installs, consent
line, conformance pass criteria + copyable --target examples, local-only
stats privacy, 200K manual bench recipe. README quickstart + docs/mcp pages
moved to --surface verbs with the claude-not-found recovery; llms-config
registered + bundles rebuilt; KEY_FILES entries for the 7 new modules.

* fix(verbs): verify-gate compliance — test seam, allow-comment placement, import hygiene

usage-log gains __setUsageLogPathForTests so the verb tests redirect the
sidecar without mutating process.env.GBRAIN_HOME (test-isolation lint);
the gbrain-allow-direct-insert rationale moves onto the insertFact call line
(system-of-record guard greps per-line); protocol.ts drops its unused
`operations` import (operations-filter-bypass guard — operationsByName only).
The synthesize unit test now drives the chat-transport seam (deterministic
success envelope + priced cost block, zero real API spend); the keyless
`unavailable` conversion stays covered end-to-end by the CI conformance step,
which runs credential-free.

Cathedral 1 verify pass (#cathedral-1)

* fix(verbs): close 3 ship-review P1s — forget cross-source, entity backlink leak, conformance exit code

Pre-landing review (codex, on the committed diff) caught three P1s the
plan-stage reviews flagged only in the abstract:

P1.1 trust boundary — forget expired by GLOBAL fact id with no source/visibility
scope: a remote caller in source A could expire facts in source B (incl.
private) by guessing ids. forgetFactInFence gains sourceId + worldOnly opts
(scope-check before any state inspection; out-of-scope → not_found, no
existence leak); the forget verb passes ctx.sourceId + worldOnly=remote.

P1.2 source isolation — entity card incoming edges + backlink_count leaked
across sources: getBacklinks(slug,{sourceId}) scopes only the TARGET page and
getBacklinkCounts has no source param, so a foreign-source page's slug surfaced
in a same-named entity's card. Replaced both with a both-sides-scoped query
(f.source_id = t.source_id = entity source, mentions excluded) inside the card
module — no engine-interface change.

P1.3 CLI exit code — protocol conformance/unknown-subcommand set
process.exitCode directly, which the PGLite/WASM force-exit seam ignores
(it reads the gbrain-owned setCliExitVerdict). A NOT CONFORMANT target printed
the banner but exited 0 — CI would green-light a non-conformant server. Now
routes through setCliExitVerdict; proven: unknown subcommand exits 1.

Regression tests: cross-source forget → not_found + foreign fact stays active;
remote can't forget a private fact; entity card omits foreign-source backlinks
from both edges and the count.

* v0.43.0.0 feat(mcp): MEMORY_VERBS v1 — frozen five-verb memory protocol + conformance kit (cathedral 1)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: surface --surface verbs in local-stdio quickstart paths for v0.43.0.0

The MEMORY_VERBS v1 quickstart flag (gbrain serve --surface verbs) was added to
the README quickstart, CLAUDE_CODE.md, and CODEX.md during the build but three
other docs that show the local-stdio wire-up still presented bare `gbrain serve`:
the connect-coding-agent Path B walkthrough (the doc the README links to),
INSTALL.md, and DEPLOY.md's Local stdio path. Brought them in line so the
five-verb surface is consistent across every local-quickstart entry point.

* fix(doctor): assign memory_verbs_usage check to the SKILL category set

The new memory_verbs_usage doctor check (Cathedral 1, E4) was added without a
category, tripping the doctor-categories drift guard (every check name must
belong to exactly one category set). It's an agent-capability adoption signal,
a sibling of retrieval_reflex_health — assigned to SKILL_CHECK_NAMES.

Cathedral 1 ship-review fix (#cathedral-1)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(verbs): propagate MEMORY_VERBS v1 to existing harnesses on upgrade

The verbs shipped reachable + self-describing, but an EXISTING install that
upgrades to 0.43 and keeps its skills had no active push toward them: no
post-upgrade notice (default surface stays 'full'), and no skill/guidance
routing — agents kept calling search/query/get_page/extract_facts.

Two additive propagation fixes:

- Post-upgrade feature pitch: src/commands/migrations/v0_43_0.ts (pitch-only,
  no-op idempotent orchestrator — the verbs ride existing tables, no schema/
  data migration). Registered in the migrations index so
  and the self-upgrade NOTIFY channel announce the five verbs +  +  on any upgrade past 0.43.
  Verified live: the pitch fires for an install upgrading from 0.42.43.0.
- Skill routing: skills/query (memory reads) and skills/brain-ops (read/write
  cycle) now teach the verbs — recall/entity/synthesize vs search/get_page/
  query, remember vs extract_facts, forget — with a fall-back-to-classic-ops
  note for older brains / full surface. The in-MCP tool descriptions already
  steered tool-list readers; this adds the narrative layer the audit found
  missing across all 29 skills.

apply-migrations future-list fixtures updated for the new 0.43.0.0 registry
entry. No DB migration; no contract change; verbs unaffected.

Cathedral 1 propagation (#cathedral-1)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(verbs): green the 3 failing CI shards — 3-seg migration version, hermetic synthesize test, fresh llms

Three real CI-shard failures from the propagation commit + master merges:

- migrations-registry (shard 10): v0_43_0 used a 4-segment version 0.43.0.0,
  but the registry enforces 3-segment semver (/^\d+\.\d+\.\d+$/). Changed
  the migration version to 0.43.0 (the RELEASE stays 0.43.0.0; migrations have
  always used 3-seg, e.g. 0.32.2). apply-migrations future-list fixtures
  updated to match.
- synthesize conformance test (shard 5): asserted a successful answer via the
  chat seam, but runThink builds its client through a real-key check (not the
  seam), so CI (credential-free) took the NO_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY path → the
  verb's unavailable conversion → isError. Now wraps the call in withEnv with a
  fake key AND the chat seam, so it's deterministic regardless of ambient
  credentials.
- build-llms (shard 8): the v0.42.44.0 master merge changed an inlined doc;
  regenerated llms.txt/llms-full.txt.

* feat(search): steer concept/landscape questions to query — descriptions, docs, lookup chain, CLI nudge (#2416)

The search/query routing guidance shipped a stale and backwards model:
SEARCH_DESCRIPTION still led with "Keyword search using full-text search"
(search has been cheap-hybrid — vector + keyword + RRF, expansion off —
since D4/D15), and the mandatory lookup chain in brain-first.md ordered
search-first with query only "if search is thin". For concept/landscape
questions ("all the X that do Y"), keyword+vector recall always returns
something, so the fallback never fires and expansion-recoverable
synonym-phrased matches drop silently.

- operations-descriptions.ts: fix the stale SEARCH lead (cheap-hybrid, no
  LLM expansion); both constants now route concept/synonym/landscape
  questions to query, cap the claim honestly (both are top-K — exhaustive
  enumeration belongs to list_pages), and keep every pinned redirect.
- brain-first.md: lookup chain is intent-driven (exact token → search;
  concept/landscape → query FIRST), cost claims corrected, and the
  anti-pattern is explicit: a nonzero search count is not a completeness
  signal. Same sweep in brain-ops/SKILL.md and query/SKILL.md, which
  duplicated the backwards order.
- search-modes.md: decision tree + quick-ref updated to the cheap-hybrid
  reality, new Tricky Spot #6 (count ≠ completeness), example names moved
  to placeholder people per the privacy convention. RETRIEVAL.md gets the
  matching one-liner.
- query-intent.ts: looksConceptShaped + conceptNudge — deterministic
  concept-shape classifier in the existing classifier home, tuned to favor
  false-negatives; cues owned by other routers (find_experts, salience
  ops) deliberately excluded. cli.ts prints the hint-only stderr nudge on
  BOTH result paths (local engine + thin-client routed), --quiet-gated;
  search stays the cheap hot path (never auto-reroutes).
- salience-llm-routing e2e: new concept-phrasings block asserts the
  descriptions actually route concept questions to query (verified live:
  20/20 — all 12 personal-query regressions still route to salience ops,
  all 8 concept phrasings route to query).
- KEY_FILES.md: query-intent entry updated to current state (the old
  entry pointed at a renamed file); llms bundle regenerated (no diff —
  entry is link-only).
- TODOS.md: MCP-envelope hint follow-up filed (remote agents are the
  higher-value half; needs a return-contract change kept out of this
  commit).

Verification: typecheck clean; 70 targeted unit tests + 20 live routing
evals green; all 24 check:all guards green; failing full-suite shards
triaged — think-pipeline.serial.test.ts:434 fails identically on the
clean tree (pre-existing on this branch, filed separately), the rest are
PGLite parallel-load contention that pass in isolation.

* fix(test): pin think's stub-path usage at null per the E2 accounting contract

The MEMORY_VERBS [E2] usage-accounting change deliberately moved "no LLM
ran" from `undefined` to `null` (the frozen cost-block spelling), but the
older #1698 stub-path test still pinned `undefined` and failed on every
run of this branch. The protected semantic is unchanged: no fake usage or
cost on the stub path.

* docs(changelog): cover the #2416 query-steering wave under v0.43.0.0

The 0.43.0.0 entry described only MEMORY_VERBS; the #2416 retrieval-routing
wave rides the same release. Adds its user-facing summary and refreshes the
release date to the actual ship date.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs(protocol): reword so the #3502 docs-lint doesn't read a phantom command

Master's docs-lint (landed after this branch forked) scans for
`gbrain <verb>` references; the MEMORY_VERBS diagram's "gbrain reference
implementation" phrasing parsed as a nonexistent `gbrain reference`
command. Post-merge-only failure; both sides were green alone.

* docs: update project documentation for v0.43.0.0

Post-ship /document-release drift pass over the MEMORY_VERBS v1 +
#2416 query-steering waves:

- docs/tutorials/connect-coding-agent.md: the pasteable brain-first
  protocol still taught the pre-#2416 "Search first" rule and named
  only full-surface tools; step 1 now routes by question shape
  (exact tokens -> search, concept/landscape -> query first) and both
  steps map the five-verb surface names (recall/synthesize/remember).
  find_experts and query callouts marked with their surface.
- README.md + tutorial: "90-tool wall" count refreshed to 110 (the
  actual operation catalog).
- CLAUDE.md: contract-first op count ~90 -> ~110 with the v0.43.0.0
  MEMORY_VERBS clause; reference-map row for the memory-verbs
  protocol / --surface / conformance docs.
- TODOS.md: blank line before the v0.42.74.0 section header.
- llms-full.txt regenerated (build:llms; freshness test green).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: apply cross-model doc-review fixes for v0.43.0.0

Verified findings from the /document-release Codex pass:

- MEMORY_VERBS_v1.md: disclose that conformance WRITES (marker-suffixed
  seed page + remember/forget facts, write-scope creds, artifacts not
  auto-deleted); quickstart header says 4 commands because it has 4.
- CHANGELOG v0.43.0.0: cost claim scoped per verb (budget/latency/cost
  block); remember "updates in place" -> supersedes-with-history (what
  write-single.ts actually does).
- DEPLOY.md: legacy bearer fallback works on BOTH engines now (both
  schemas carry access_tokens per http-transport.ts) — was Postgres-only.
- CLAUDE_CODE.md: list_skills/core-tools verify note marked full-surface
  (on --surface verbs those tools aren't on the surface).
- skills/query/SKILL.md: --surface full INCLUDES the verbs; fallback is
  for pre-0.43 servers only.
- skills/brain-ops/SKILL.md: search/query tool labels updated to the
  #2416 reality (cheap hybrid vs hybrid + LLM expansion).
- search-modes.md: stale "keyword search returns chunks" label.
- RETRIEVAL.md: note the query op defaults expand:true per call.
- Counts: 43 skills -> 52 (README x2, INSTALL), 30 skills -> 52
  (CLAUDE.md), "30+ tools over MCP" -> 110 (README).
- TODOS.md: filed 2 code-vs-spec follow-ups (recall filter composition +
  limit cap; synthesize unavailable-mapping breadth) instead of silently
  editing the frozen contract.
- llms-full.txt + skills.lock.json regenerated; freshness guards green.

* fix(cli): regenerate the flag registry for the cathedral-1 command set

Master's #2185 strict flag validation ships a committed, generated
CLI_FLAG_REGISTRY with drift + freshness guards keyed off CLI_ONLY. The
merge added this branch's `protocol` command to CLI_ONLY, but the
committed registry was generated on master without it, failing CI shard
7's drift guard. Regenerated via `bun run build:flag-registry` on the

help-text mentions from the verbs work).

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 130d321d23 v0.42.76.0 fix(upgrade,security,cli): strict flag validation, bootstrap-wedge class kill, federated chunk scope (#3902)
* fix(schema): bootstrap timeline_entries.event_page_id forward reference — un-wedge pre-v121 upgrades (#2626 #2594 #2579 #2537 #2536)

v0.42.56.0 (Chronicle, migration v121) added timeline_entries.event_page_id
and two partial indexes in the embedded schema blobs without extending
applyForwardReferenceBootstrap — any brain whose timeline_entries predates
v121 wedged initSchema at blob replay ("column event_page_id does not
exist") before runMigrations could apply v121, with no in-band recovery.

- Add the timeline_entries.event_page_id probe + column-only ALTER to
  applyForwardReferenceBootstrap in BOTH engines; FK + partial indexes land
  via the idempotent v121 / blob replay afterwards. Stays in the always-run
  bootstrap (never a migration hook — those skip oddly-stamped brains).
- REQUIRED_BOOTSTRAP_COVERAGE entry + strip blocks in both runtime tests.
- e2e: pre-v121 rewind → full initSchema converges (indexes re-created);
  wedged-brain recovery — a brain that already FAILED the upgrade attempt
  converges on retry with full final shape (column + FK + both partial
  indexes) and no ledger residue.

Absorbs PR #2548 (@chetan-guevara) and the e2e test from PR #2623
(@colinagent) — thank you both.

* test(schema): coverage guard cross-references migration-added columns — close the scan hole that shipped the v121 wedge

The A2 static check treated a column as covered when the current CREATE
TABLE body declared it. But a column that is BOTH in the blob's CREATE
TABLE AND added by a migration is a forward reference by definition — on
pre-existing tables CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS no-ops and the blob's
CREATE INDEX crashes initSchema before runMigrations can help. That mask
is exactly how timeline_entries.event_page_id passed the guard while
wedging every pre-v121 brain.

- buildIndexRefCoveragePredicate: migration-added columns (from
  extractAddedColumnsFromMigrations over the MIGRATIONS array) require a
  bootstrap ALTER; CREATE TABLE presence no longer counts for them.
- Unit test pins the v121 regression shape red/green with synthetic inputs;
  the A2 test pins the incident triple directly (migration-added +
  blob-indexed + bootstrap-covered).
- The strengthened predicate immediately surfaced two more latent wedges of
  the same class: minion_jobs.timeout_at + minion_jobs.idempotency_key
  (migration v7, blob-indexed, unprobed). Added probes in both engines +
  coverage entries + runtime strip blocks.

Generated admin bootstrap tokens printed into container/log-aggregator
stdout on every headless start. shouldSuppressBootstrapPrint now defaults

so the serve --http dispatch site always fell back to ['world'] — remote
MCP callers with an operator-configured takes_holders grant saw only
public takes. The legacy branch now extracts permissions.takes_holders
exactly like src/mcp/http-transport.ts (fail-safe ['world'] default,
non-string entries dropped, malformed permissions JSON fails closed
without throwing), and AuthInfo carries the field as a typed contract.

OAuth-registered clients have no takes_holders storage on oauth_clients;
that lane is design work tracked in TODOS (column migration + DCR/
registration surface), not part of this hotfix.

* fix(security): get_chunks honors the federated source grant + stops shipping embedding vectors (#2555, getChunks half of #2544)

The get_chunks op still used the pre-#2200 scalar pattern
(ctx.sourceId ? {sourceId} : {}) and engine.getChunks had no sourceIds[]
support — a federated client that could read a page via get_page got []
from get_chunks. The op now routes through sourceScopeOpts (canonical
ladder: federated array > scalar floor > nothing) and both engines gain
the getPage-style sourceIds[] precedence branch; the unset-opts 'default'
floor is preserved for local callers (importCodeFile contract).

While in the function: SELECT cc.* pulled every embedding vector over the
wire per chunk only for rowToChunk to discard them — replaced with the
explicit non-vector column list in both engines (the getChunks half of
#2544; the per-put_page getAllSlugs half is tracked separately).

getChunksWithEmbeddings stays scalar-only by design (engine-internal,
zero remote-reachable callers — documented at the interface).

Tests: op-level federated repro + isolation + default-floor bleed guard
(PGLite), engine precedence + Chunk-shape pin, and a DATABASE_URL-gated
engine-parity test covering all three scope shapes.

* fix(auth): /admin/api/register-client accepts source + federatedRead bindings (#2143 enabler)

The HTTP register endpoint hardcoded source_id='default' and
federated_read=undefined — only the CLI could mint a client bound to a
non-default source, so HTTP-registered MCP clients wrote into 'default'
regardless of intent. The endpoint now accepts optional source /
federatedRead body fields, validated via assertValidSourceId with a
structured 400 on bad input; omitting both preserves the historical
default. The admin-UI form layer is a tracked follow-up.

* fix(scope,calibration): think reads over MCP; source-scoped takes reads; calibration CLI reachability + model resolution (#2078-class #2451)

- think op → scope:'read' for OAuth/MCP clients: the handler already forces
  save/take off for remote callers before persistence, so a read-scoped
  token can think without a write grant; local CLI persistence unchanged.
  Scope-annotation test carries an explicit remote-gated allowlist.
- takes_list / takes_search / takes_scorecard / takes_calibration route
  through sourceScopeOpts (the #2200 class on the takes read lane) with
  engine support in BOTH engines + tests.
- 'calibration' added to CLI_ONLY (the command was registered but
  unreachable — dispatch-gap class) and calibration_profile/voice-gate
  resolve models through the canonical gateway tier resolver instead of
  bare ids that parseModelId rejects.
- BigInt-safe local-op output normalization (bigintToStringReplacer,
  postgres.js wire parity) — first half of the #2450 fix; the
  formatResult default case lands with the cli-output commit.

* fix(cli): output correctness — BigInt-safe rendering, search --json, files bigint, and 5 unreachable commands (#2450 #2527 #2042 #2035-class)

- normalizeLocalResult wraps the local-op output round-trip with the
  bigint→string replacer (postgres.js wire parity; a bare stringify THROWS
  on BIGSERIAL keys); formatResult's default renderer gets the same
  replacer so nothing upstream can crash it.
- search/query --json: CLI-local formatter flag threaded through the shared
  formatter — stdout is a parseable result array, never human text on the
  --json path (the #2042 residual).
- file_list normalizes size_bytes (Postgres BIGINT → Number) so MCP
  serialization and the CLI KB math survive; null preserved.
- NEW dispatch-gap guard: every handleCliOnly top-level case label must be
  reachable via CLI_ONLY. It immediately caught FIVE live unreachable
  commands: pages, backfill, reconcile-links, notability-eval (added to
  CLI_ONLY), and the documented 'gbrain search modes|stats|tune' dashboards
  (pre-fix, 'search modes' silently keyword-searched the word "modes") —
  now routed via a pre-dispatch subcommand gate. 'whoknows' stays on its
  op-alias route (collision guard); tracked with PR #2509.

* fix(db): updateSourceConfig survives mixed-array config rows + repair/doctor cover the subagent jsonb columns (#2251)

The array-coercion branch called jsonb_each(elem) bare — a mixed array
(e.g. '["x", {"last_full_cycle_at": ...}]') threw 'cannot call
jsonb_each on a non-object' DURING row production, permanently failing
every subsequent updateSourceConfig (last_full_cycle_at could never be
written again). Non-object elements are now neutralized inline via a
CASE-guarded jsonb_each; the row self-heals to a flat object on the next
write, object elements' keys recovered. Pinned ungated on PGLite (real
Postgres semantics) and via a DATABASE_URL-gated e2e on the real engine.

repair-jsonb + doctor's jsonb_integrity check extend from 5 to 8 columns
(subagent_messages.content_blocks, subagent_tool_executions.input/output
— historical damage rows from the pre-v0.42.53.0 positional double-encode;
the write paths themselves were fixed in #2375) with a to_regclass skip
for brains predating those tables.

Adapts the repair/doctor extension from PR #597 (@vinsew) — thank you.

* fix(cli): dry-run honesty — strict unknown-flag rejection CLI-wide + unify-types worker defaults to dry-run (#2185 #1575)

#2185: 'gbrain init --migrate-only --dry-run' applied REAL migrations —
flags are read ad hoc (args.includes) so anything a handler doesn't look
for was silently ignored, including intent-bearing safety flags. The CLI
now validates every flag pre-dispatch and pre-engine:

- Op commands validate against the operation contract (op.params +
  CLI-local --json/--explain), mirroring parseOpArgs so flag values that
  begin with '--' are never misread. parseOpArgs also gains the
  --key=value inline form (previously parsed as a junk key that consumed
  the NEXT token).
- CLI_ONLY commands validate against a GENERATED per-command registry
  (scripts/generate-flag-registry.ts scans each command's case block +
  imported modules + one level of relative imports; deliberately
  over-inclusive so a missed flag can't break a working invocation).
  Committed as src/core/cli-flag-registry.generated.ts;
  'bun run build:flag-registry' regenerates.
- Passthrough by construction: everything after '--', plus call / config /
  'jobs submit' payloads (handler-defined params are their contract).
- Guards: sweep test (every command × nonsense flag → error), acceptance
  tests (real flags, --no- negation, = form, -- passthrough), drift guard
  (every CLI_ONLY member has an entry), freshness guard (committed
  registry == fresh generator run), subprocess smokes incl. the literal
  #2185 repro failing loud with zero engine work.

BREAKING: scripts passing stray flags now fail loud with
"Unknown flag --x for 'gbrain <cmd>'" — that is the point.

#1575: the unify-types worker registration passed apply ?? true while the
handler documents 'Default false (dry-run)' — the canonical operator
invocation destructively retyped 25K+ pages by default. Now ?? false with
a structural test; explicit --params '{"apply":true}' is the only way to
mutate.

* fix(test): memory-safe unit runner — adaptive concurrency + serial OOM rescue pass

A default run (4 shards × 4 intra-shard files) holds up to 16 concurrent
PGLite WASM instances (~1.5GB each). With sibling Conductor workspaces
running their own suites, PGLite connect failed with 'Out of memory'
across every shard at once — 369 phantom test failures on a healthy
branch, indistinguishable from real breakage at a glance.

Two default-on layers in scripts/run-unit-parallel.sh:
1. Memory-aware sizing: total concurrency is capped to available memory
   (vm_stat on macOS, MemAvailable on Linux) at GBRAIN_TEST_MEM_PER_FILE_MB
   (default 1536) per concurrent file, shedding shards before intra-shard
   width. Quiet machines are unaffected (banner: mem-ok); pressured ones
   degrade instead of OOMing (banner: mem-adapted AxB→CxD).
2. Serial OOM rescue: failures whose shard log carries the WASM
   out-of-memory signature are re-run at --max-concurrency 1 after the
   fan-out drains. Phantoms pass serially → run goes green with an
   oom_rescued note and the failure blocks marked superseded; real
   failures fail again and stay red. Plain assertion failures never match
   the signature and never enter the rescue lane (existing exit-code and
   failure-log contract tests unchanged).

Escape hatches: GBRAIN_TEST_NO_MEM_ADAPT=1, GBRAIN_TEST_NO_OOM_FALLBACK=1.
Tests: OOM-once fixture rescued to exit 0; kill-switch stays red; banner
advertises the sizing verdict. Documented in docs/TESTING.md.

* fix(test,cli): merge-seam repairs — shard timeout for the tripled suite, init flag-error contract, think scope exemption

Three post-merge repairs surfaced by the first full-suite run:
- Shard timeout 1500s -> 3000s: the suite roughly tripled since the cap was
  sized (~3900 -> 11k+ tests; PGLite inits replay 120 migrations, was 92).
  Two shards were killed mid-progress at 1500s.
- The #2185 pre-dispatch validator now emits the same error contract as
  init.ts's in-handler check it preempts: lowercase 'unknown flag' on
  stderr + structured {status:'error', reason:'invalid_flag'} on stdout
  for --json callers (pinned by test/init-migrate-only.test.ts).
- test/operations-trust-boundary.test.ts gets the same documented
  remote-gated allowlist for think's read scope (#2598) that
  test/oauth.test.ts already carries.

* fix(test): rescue lane also covers externally-killed shards (sibling-workspace pkill / memory jetsam)

Second phantom class observed on a multi-workspace Conductor machine:
3 shards SIGTERM'd + 1 SIGKILL'd at ~700s under a 3000s cap, all
mid-progress — an external killer, not a wedge. The dead shards then
poisoned the serial pass (lock/state residue → 18 more phantoms), and
every one of the 18 passed standalone.

The runner now stamps per-shard start/end epochs; a shard dying on
143/137 before 80% of SHARD_TIMEOUT is classified externally-killed and
its file list joins the serial rescue queue (real wedges die AT the cap
and stay red). Serial-pass failures that occur while any shard was
externally killed are treated as suspect residue and rescued too.
Structural tests pin the detector, threshold, and routing.

* fix(review): pre-landing review batch — CLI-local flag acceptance, json= coherence, re-landed getChunks trim, payload-aware jsonb repair, rescue-lane tightening

Ship Step 9 findings (checklist pass + 4 specialists), all verified before fixing:
- CRITICAL: the #2185 validator rejected --source/--dry-run on op commands
  (makeContext CLI-locals consumed outside the op contract) — 'gbrain search
  "x" --source y' exited 1. Exempted with parser-mirroring value consumption
  + unit/subprocess tests incl. global-flag acceptance.
- CRITICAL: --json=<v> diverged between validator (accepted) and parseOpArgs
  (junk-key path consumed the NEXT token, corrupting positionals). Parser now
  handles --json=true|false; =-forms of bare-only CLI-locals reject loud.
  parseOpArgs inline-= suite added (regression rule).
- CRITICAL: the master merge silently restored SELECT cc.* in both engines'
  getChunks while docs claimed the #2544 trim. Re-landed the explicit
  non-vector column list + a source-level structural pin so a merge can't
  silently undo it again.
- repair-jsonb/doctor: the subagent columns legitimately hold jsonb string
  scalars (persistToolExec binds pre-serialized strings) — unconditional
  unwrap would abort the repair run or corrupt legit values. jsonPayloadOnly
  predicate (JSON-container content only) on those 3 targets, mirrored in
  doctor + parameterized to_regclass + behavioral test (damage flagged,
  legit string ignored, absent table skipped).
- runner rescue-lane tightening: serial failures rescue-eligible only with
  their own OOM signature or after an external shard kill (residue), never
  because a sibling shard OOM'd — flaky serial tests stay red. Rescue passes
  no longer double-count into TOTAL_PASS; shard timeout scales when
  mem-adaptation sheds shards; negative-path tests (mixed run stays red,
  deterministic OOM-signature failure stays red).
- fail-closed remote spelling at 2 forward sites (ctx.remote !== false per
  the CLAUDE.md invariant); registry generator drops template-literal flag
  prefixes; real-PG e2es for the v121 + minion_jobs wedge classes; stale
  comments corrected.

* chore: regenerate flag registry after master merge (#3864 added extract help flags)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(review): red-team batch — dispatch-order validation, real --dry-run boolean, rescue-lane timeout/isolation/cap, parseable-payload repair gate

Red-team pass (post-specialist) findings, all verified before fixing:
- CRITICAL: validateCommandFlags checked the op lane before CLI_ONLY while
  dispatch runs CLI_ONLY first — dual-lane commands (think/salience/
  anomalies) were validated against the WRONG contract, rejecting documented
  invocations ('salience --kind entity'). Lane order now mirrors dispatch.
- CRITICAL: --dry-run was blessed as legal on op commands but parseOpArgs
  never SET it (trailing → nothing → ctx.dryRun false → the REAL destructive
  action ran; leading → consumed the next token). Now a CLI-local boolean
  exactly like --json, with --dry-run=false support and regression tests.
- CRITICAL: the rescue lane ran bun test WITHOUT --timeout=60000 (bun default
  5s) — PGLite phantoms re-failed on timeout and were mislabeled 'confirmed
  real'. Both rescue invocations now mirror the shard flags; serial files
  re-run one process per file (run-serial-tests.sh isolation contract);
  rescue wallclock capped at 2x the shard timeout.
- CRITICAL: the jsonPayloadOnly probe matched container-LOOKING invalid JSON
  ('[INFO] fetch complete') whose repair cast would throw and abort the run
  mid-loop. Predicate now gates on pg_input_is_valid (PG16+, same floor as
  the existing IS JSON usage) + per-target catch records and continues;
  doctor mirrors; behavioral test covers the lookalike row.
- Registry generator bounded at handleCliOnly's closing brace (the LAST case
  block absorbed ~100 junk flags from the rest of cli.ts, neutering strict
  validation for it); uppercase flag typos reject loudly in both lanes
  (handlers are lowercase-sensitive); --json=true spelling gets the
  structured invalid_flag envelope; get_chunks __all__ narrowing filed as a
  Wave 3 TODO.

* fix(engines): getChunks trimmed SELECT must carry modality (codex P1-B)

The #2544 egress trim replaced SELECT cc.* with an explicit column list but
omitted cc.modality — every rowToChunk field except the vector must survive
the trim, or the embed round-trip (getChunks -> upsertChunks) rewrites image
chunks as text. Both engines; the structural pin now iterates the full
rowToChunk field list instead of spot-checking.

* fix(cli): safety flags require consumption evidence in the flag registry (codex P1-A)

upgrade.ts prints a help hint naming another command's --dry-run; that
literal is depth-0 text for post-upgrade, so the generator allowlisted
--dry-run there — recreating the exact #2185 repro this wave kills
(post-upgrade --dry-run accepted, ignored, migrations run for real).
Safety flags now need a tight-quoted standalone literal (an args read
like has('--dry-run')) before the registry grants them; prose bleed
embeds the flag inside a longer string and never qualifies. Regenerated
registry drops --dry-run from post-upgrade, keeps genuine consumers.

run-unit-parallel regression test or the remaining runner knobs;
CONTRIBUTING.md's fast-loop file count predated the tripled suite
(92+ -> 1000+); test-count claims unified at 3700+; the
CLIENT_FENCED_WRITE_OPS comment in operations.ts still described
think as scope write; KEY_FILES names the exported findUnknownFlag.

Two CI-only breaks from the master merge: (1) under GITHUB_ACTIONS the

extracted literal ::group:: non-paths that matched zero test files —
failing_files_in_log now strips the prefix; (2) master's new

that collapsed the tests' 2-shard sandbox runs to 1 shard, breaking every

MECHANICS with tiny synthetic files, so they now set the escape hatch;
the one test that checks the mem banner overrides it back on.

aecb33e795 v0.42.73.1 revert(ci): remove the PR gate and withdraw the v0.42.72.1 contribution requirements (#3805)
* v0.42.73.1 revert(ci): remove the PR gate — it cannot function on this repository

The gate needs an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY Actions secret for its verdict and
read-write workflow permissions to post a comment or set a label. This
repository grants neither, and both are admin-only, so it can only ever skip.

It also caused a real incident before that was understood: a read-only token
turned every API call into a 403, the code treated that as a crash, and the
check went red on an outside contributor's PR four times with no comment
explaining why. v0.42.73.0 fixed the crash, but a check that runs on every PR
and can never reach a verdict does not earn a place in the repo.

Removes the workflow, the script, its type surface, and its test file. The code
is preserved in git history at v0.42.73.0. If it is ever restored, the
mechanical half (intent/screenshot policy, title rule, red flags) should render
to the Actions job summary rather than a comment — that needs no token
permission and no API key.

CONTRIBUTING.md's intent-paragraph and screenshot requirement is unchanged and
stands as written; it is enforced by maintainers reading PRs, as before.

typecheck clean, verify 34/34, llms bundles regenerated.

* v0.42.73.1 revert(docs): withdraw the human-intent-paragraph + screenshot contribution requirement

This reverts commit 6d1232d5a6 (v0.42.72.1).

CONTRIBUTING.md, both issue templates, and the pull-request template return
to their pre-2026-08-02 state. VERSION/package.json/CHANGELOG keep moving
forward (0.42.73.1); the v0.42.72.1 CHANGELOG entry stays as historical
record, and the 0.42.73.1 entry now describes the withdrawal.

Garry Tan 3c26f2eaf2 fix(ci): a permission failure must never red-X a contributor's PR (live incident)
The gate's first live runs put a red X on an outside contributor's PR five
times over, with no comment explaining why. This repo's GITHUB_TOKEN is
read-only, so every comment and label call returned 403; the throw reached the
top-level handler as exit 2.

The gate is advisory. A repository permission problem is an operator condition,
never a statement about the PR under review. 401/403/404 from GitHub now emit a
loud operator-facing warning naming both blockers (workflow permissions and the
missing ANTHROPIC_API_KEY secret) and exit 0. A genuine outage or a bug in here
still fails visibly at exit 2. Pinned by four tests including the entry-handler
routing; mutation-tested.

40d1d4cabc fix(import): make imported pages readable by gbrain's own conversation parser (#3788)
* fix(envelope importer): honor the envelope's own counts, and stop a second import destroying the first

Two ways this importer lost conversation history at exit 0 with zero stderr
bytes. Both reproduced against output from the real memvelope converter, not
hand-authored envelopes — the blind spot that let them through review.

F1. envelope-v0 makes meta.conversation_count and meta.message_count mandatory:
the envelope states its own totals. The script read neither. A file declaring
353 conversations and 9412 messages that actually held one of each imported
one, exited 0, and printed a receipt internally consistent with the reduced
output. The receipt also counted only pages, never messages, so every
message-level loss was invisible by construction — a conversation arriving with
one turn instead of forty still writes exactly one page.

Each declared count is now checked on its own, before the first write. A count
that disagrees with the contents, or that is present but is not a non-negative
integer, refuses the import (exit 2). A count that is simply absent cannot be
compared, so the envelope still imports — but stderr names the field whose half
of the check was skipped, because an unchecked import must never look like a
checked one. The receipt reports messages as well as pages, and says so out
loud when messages read exceed messages written.

F2. filesWritten was per-process and the default outDir is a fixed literal, so
a second import into the same directory clobbered the first with no read-back
and no warning. The trigger is the positional fallback conv-N, which fires
whenever c.id is not a non-empty string — and the spec is explicit that id is
string | null and that a converter MUST NOT synthesize one, so null is the
CONFORMING shape, not malformed input. The reference converter emits it for any
ChatGPT export lacking conversation_id and id. Filenames then key off array
position rather than identity, and two unrelated exports both put their first
conversation at conv-1.

Target files are now examined before anything is written. Byte-identical
content is a re-import; a page this importer wrote from the SAME conversation
id is a refreshed export legitimately updating its own page. Anything else — a
foreign file, or one of ours whose conversation id cannot be matched — refuses
the import (exit 2) and writes nothing. Refusing rather than disambiguating
keeps the importer from inventing an identity the envelope declined to state,
and the remedy is a different output directory.

Both checks run before the first write, so a refused import leaves no partial
output to be mistaken for a whole one, and does not even create the directory.

Verified against all 12 golden fixtures from the memvelope reference converter
and 7 envelopes freshly produced by running that converter over synthetic
ChatGPT and Claude exports: every one imports at exit 0 with zero stderr bytes,
and all 19 produce byte-identical pages to the previous script. The guards do
not false-positive on legitimate producer output.

Known limit, documented in the header: the target-file check is check-then-
write, not atomic. Two simultaneous imports into one directory can both pass it
— measured 19 refused / 21 raced over 40 trials, against 0 / 40 before.

17 new tests; the 13 existing tests are unchanged and still pass. No new
dependencies: package.json and bun.lock are byte-identical.

* fix(envelope importer): close the three holes the adversarial pass found in the guards

An eight-agent refutation round attacked every claim made for the previous
commit. Four claims survived untouched; three did not, and all three were in
code that commit introduced. Each is reproduced, then closed, with tests.

Identity was compared on the TRIMMED conversation id, because that is what the
filename slugs and what the frontmatter recorded. So two ids differing only by
surrounding whitespace — both copied verbatim by the reference converter, both
schema-valid — looked like one conversation to the guard, and the second import
destroyed the first at exit 0 with zero stderr bytes. The surviving page then
recorded an id that appeared nowhere in the envelope that wrote it. The
frontmatter now records the id verbatim, as the spec requires, and identity is
matched raw. The filename still slugs the trimmed form, so no page's bytes
change for any id without surrounding whitespace.

The identity scan required a page to start with exactly `---\n`. A page THIS
IMPORTER WROTE that later picked up CRLF line endings or a UTF-8 BOM — a git
checkout with core.autocrlf, a cross-platform sync, an editor save — was
therefore reclassified as foreign, and one such page refused the ENTIRE
envelope at exit 2. The previous script treated the same mutation as a harmless
overwrite, so the guard had turned a cosmetic byte change into an unrecoverable
block. Both are normalized away before the scan. The message for a file that
genuinely cannot be recognized no longer asserts "was not written by this
importer" — a claim this code cannot make, and one that was false for exactly
the pages it was being printed about.

The new message-delta warning announced "N message(s) in the envelope are not on
disk" whenever pages collided. Duplicate ids are conforming input — the spec has
merging never deduplicate — so converting an old export together with a newer
one, which is what the memvelope CLI tells users to do, fired it routinely while
every unique turn was on disk. It now states what it knows: the overwritten
pages carried N messages that are not on disk, and if those were earlier copies
the surviving page may already hold them. The raw tally stays, since hiding it
is what made message-level loss invisible to begin with.

Two header claims were false as written and are corrected: message text is
byte-verbatim for 18 of the 19 producer envelopes, not all 19 — the
lone-surrogate fixture writes U+FFFD, unchanged from before and out of scope —
and sequential coverage is no longer described as complete. Three further limits
are now stated rather than left implicit: an id-less conversation cannot be
refreshed in place (refused, not applied — the deliberate trade, since the same
ambiguity resolved the other way is the defect being fixed); a conversation
whose created_at moves orphans its earlier page rather than updating it; and a
hand-written lookalike is indistinguishable from a page this importer wrote.

Rejected after reproducing it: a "silent loss" via a duplicate top-level
conversations key in the JSON text. JSON.parse keeps the last such key, which is
language semantics, is identical on the previous script, and cannot be produced
by JSON.stringify.

36 tests pass, 0 fail. The 13 pre-existing tests remain byte-identical as the
first 306 lines of the file. All 19 real-producer envelopes still produce
byte-identical pages. package.json and bun.lock unchanged.

* fix(envelope importer): write pages gbrain's own conversation parser can read

Every page this importer wrote declared `type: conversation` — which opens the
gate to conversation-facts extraction, chronicle eligibility and the
conversation_format_coverage check — and then presented a turn header

    **Assistant** (2025-11-02T14:22:51.000Z · m2):

matching none of the 17 built-in patterns in the conversation parser. The
extractor parsed zero messages, incremented `pages_skipped`, and said nothing.
Pages were stored and searchable; no fact was ever extracted from any of them.

Measured on two throwaway PGLite brains fed the same 13 conversations, one
written each way: `conversation-parser scan` goes from 13/13 `no_match` with 0
messages to 13/13 `imessage-slack` with 33; `extract-conversation-facts
--dry-run` goes from "Skipped 13 page(s)" to every page segmenting and reaching
the extractor; `doctor` conversation_format_coverage goes from warn "13/13 ...
match NO built-in pattern" to ok "13 pages: imessage-slack=13".

The turn header is now `**Me** (2025-11-02 14:22):`, the one shape that parser
reads. 24-hour, not 12-hour-with-AM/PM: both match and both were measured to
reconstruct all 24 hours exactly, so the tie is broken on the fact that 24-hour
is a substring of the envelope's own `ts` (no hour arithmetic, so the 12/0
boundary cannot be got wrong) and sorts chronologically within a day.

That header can carry a wall clock and nothing else, so per-message identity
moves to frontmatter as an array of maps:

    messages:
      - id: "m1"
        ts: "2025-11-02T14:22:51.000Z"

An array, not a map keyed by id — a map discards order and collapses the
duplicate ids the spec permits. Consumers index it by position.

Every scalar is JSON-encoded, so every timestamp is quoted. Unquoted, js-yaml
reads an RFC 3339 scalar as a JS Date: microseconds truncate, a +05:30 offset
normalises away, and gbrain's own coerceFrontmatterString slices a Date to 10
characters — the time of day gone. It is sticky, too. The suite fails if a
timestamp is ever emitted unquoted, and carries a sentinel proving that guard
fires.

Also drops the `---` rule between turns: it is a non-blank line matching no
pattern, so the parser appended it to the preceding message and every extracted
text ended `...\n---`.

Verified over all 12 golden fixtures from the memvelope reference converter
(exit 0, zero stderr, 33/33 messages, every id and ts byte-identical after the
round trip) and over fresh envelopes built by running that converter over
synthetic vendor exports. 52 tests green, up from 36.

* fix(envelope importer): build the offset-shifted header clock without Date.UTC

Self-review of the branch, before the refutation round. `headerClock()` is the
only place in this script that does arithmetic on a timestamp, and its offset
branch had two ways to emit a header that is off — or that does not parse at
all.

`Date.UTC` applies MakeFullYear: a year of 0..99 is read as 1900+y. The shape
regex accepts any four digits, so `0050-01-01T00:30:00+05:30` was rendered as
1949-12-31 — the page moved by nineteen hundred years, silently, at exit 0.
Built with the UTC setters instead, which do not remap.

And `getUTCFullYear()` returns `49`, not `0049`. The pattern's regex requires
`\d{4}`, so an unpadded year emits a header that matches nothing and the turn is
appended to its neighbour as a continuation — one message where there were two.
The year is now padded like every other field.

Neither is reachable from the reference converter, which emits `Z`. Both are
reachable from a conforming envelope: the spec types `ts` as any date-time
string, and RFC 3339 offsets are legal.

18 new tests pin the clock on its own: every Z / offset / designator-less form,
both day-boundary crossings, `+0530` without a colon, the sub-100 year in both
branches, and the six unusable-`ts` shapes that must fall back to the
conversation's date at midnight rather than fabricate a clock or drop a turn.
Three more hostile ids added — U+2028, U+2029 and U+0085 are line breaks in
YAML 1.1 and JSON.stringify emits all three raw, so they are the sharpest
version of the injection the quoting exists to stop. js-yaml 3.14 does not
honor them as breaks; measured, not assumed.

72 tests pass, 0 fail. Adjacent suites (conversation-parser, markdown,
extract-conversation-facts, doctor backlog): 380 pass, 0 fail.

* docs(envelope importer): name the built-in pattern count the header claims

'None of the built-in patterns' is a claim about a number the reader cannot
see. There are 17, and `gbrain conversation-parser list-builtins` is how to
count them.

* fix(envelope importer): stop the conversation title manufacturing a turn

An adversarial round against the new format. Three claims in the file header
were wrong or overstated, and one of them was a defect.

The H1 heading is the only place a third-party string reaches the BODY — every
frontmatter value is JSON-escaped, the heading was interpolated raw. That was
merely untidy while nothing parsed the body. Now that the turn headers are
legible, a title carrying a newline manufactures a TURN, and one that lands
AHEAD of every real one, so `messages[0]` in frontmatter names content the user
never sent and every id after it is off by one. Measured: a 2-message
conversation titled "Real Title\n\n**Me** (2020-01-01 09:00): INJECTED" parses
to 3 turns, the first attributed to 2020. The heading is flattened to one line;
the verbatim title, newlines and all, is still recorded in frontmatter.

The empty-title fallback also disagreed with itself — "Untitled conversation"
in frontmatter, "Conversation" in the heading, two names for the same missing
thing, and parseMarkdown prefers the body's H1 when frontmatter has no title.
One fallback now.

Corrected in the header, because a false claim there is worse than a limit:

"the frontmatter array still holds exactly the real turns, so the two can be
reconciled by count" was FALSE. parse.ts picks one pattern per page, scored on
the first 10 body lines, and only re-scores full-body under 0.3 — so a pasted
Slack or Telegram snippet inside one message only has to win that window, and
the length of the real conversation is irrelevant. With four `**[09:0N] Name:**`
lines quoted inside message 1: 40 real turns are replaced by 4 fabricated
speakers at fabricated times, at exit 0, with phase regex_match, so
pages_skipped stays 0 and doctor's conversation_format_coverage reports OK. And
at 4 real turns against 4 pasted lines the COUNTS AGREE while every speaker and
timestamp is fabricated — which is exactly the check the old wording offered as
the remedy. The table is in the header now, with what count-comparison does and
does not catch. Closing it needs a parse.ts change, not an importer change.

"every timestamp is QUOTED" was true only for conforming input. JSON quotes
strings; an envelope whose `ts` is a number emits `ts: 1762093371000` unquoted.
That is a YAML integer, not a Date, so it is lossless and carries no truncation
hazard — but the claim as written was wrong, and the behavior is now pinned by
test rather than described.

Two more limits stated: minute resolution is the parser's ceiling, not this
format's — every branch of buildIso hardcodes :00 and no built-in captures
seconds, so two turns in the same minute collide (claude-basic m1 15:02:00 and
m2 15:02:31 both parse to 15:02:00Z) and frontmatter `ts` is the only
full-resolution value on the page. And the array survives a gbrain rewrite
semantically, not textually: serializeMarkdown re-emits `id: "m1"` as `id: m1`.

81 tests pass, 0 fail. Adjacent suites: 389 pass, 0 fail. All 12 golden
fixtures still import at exit 0 with zero stderr.

* fix(envelope importer): range-check the per-message clock, and arm two guards

Second adversarial round. The shape regex counts digits; it does not know a
calendar. `2025-99-99T99:99:00Z` was copied straight into a turn header — and
`imessage-slack` MATCHES that header, so gbrain stored an instant no calendar
contains. `2025-02-30` is the sharper one: it yields a VALID JS Date, silently
shifted to March 2. The script already validates `created_at` before it reaches
a header, with a comment explaining why; the per-message clock is the same
untrusted surface and is used far more often. It is validated now, by round
trip — a date that does not survive its own UTC round trip was never a date.

Also removes a provably unreachable `Number.isFinite` check: over the whole
space the shape regex admits, the constructed instant is always finite.

Two guards had no test that fires. Both are now pinned:

- The `created_at` validation. Dropping it let a hostile value break the turn
  header it was supposed to anchor, and the whole suite stayed green.
- The determinism guard — the reason TS_SHAPE exists rather than
  `new Date(string)`, which parses a designator-less date-time as LOCAL time.
  The one test that touched it only caught the mutation because this box is
  America/New_York; on a UTC runner it passed. TZ is now pinned explicitly and
  the case runs under four zones including UTC and Pacific/Kiritimati.

94 tests pass, 0 fail.

* docs(envelope importer): correct five claims the adversarial round falsified

None of these change behavior. All five were statements in the file header that
an independent pass could not reproduce, and a false claim in a header is worse
than a limitation, because a reader has no way to tell.

"the field is read nowhere outside builtins.ts", of `time_format`, was flatly
false: src/commands/conversation-parser.ts reads it twice. Both are display —
`list-builtins` prints it — and the operative half stands, since parse.ts never
reads it and converts off the captured AM/PM group instead. Said that way now.

"turns averaging more than ~19 non-blank lines fall below the floor" was
optimistic by one line: measured line by line, 18 parses (0.0526) and 19 does
not (0.0499), because the H1 is in the denominator too.

"a fallback when `ts` is null" understated the condition. It fires for any
string this script will not read a clock out of — a date with no time, a basic-
format 20251102T142251Z, an impossible 2025-02-30 — silently preferring the
conversation's date over a value that looked like a time.

"Every emitted scalar is JSON-encoded" was false for the four keys the script
writes itself (`type:`, `origin:`, `date: null`, `messages: []`), which are
literals under its own control rather than envelope data.

"collapses the duplicate ids the spec permits" cited the wrong half of the
spec: duplicates are tolerated for CONVERSATION ids; message ids are positional
and unique within their conversation. The real argument for an array is that
order IS the join. And since a conforming envelope's message id is derivable
from its index, `ts` is the only genuinely new value the array carries — worth
saying rather than implying more is being rescued than is.

Also: the STATUS block quoted `gbrain conversation-parser scan` as producing a
13-page aggregate; it takes one slug and has no aggregate form. The numbers
were reproduced per-slug, so the receipt now shows the command that produced
them.

And two tests changed by this branch still used `page.split('---')[1]` to reach
the frontmatter — the exact idiom this branch's own helper documents as unsound,
since it cuts on the substring anywhere including inside a quoted value. Both
now go through that helper.

94 tests pass, 0 fail. Adjacent suites: 402 pass, 0 fail. All 12 golden
fixtures still exit 0 with zero stderr and 33/33 messages parsed.

* fix(envelope importer): break a duplicate id on updated_at, not array position

A merged re-export kept the STALE copy, deterministically.

The memvelope CLI's own USAGE tells users to pass every downloaded export
at once; folder expansion sorts by filename (cli/convert.mjs expandInputs)
and SPEC.md rule 8 forbids the converter from re-sorting conversations
afterwards. Every automatic duplicate-namer a browser or OS gives a second
download of `conversations.json` inserts a character that sorts below `.`
— ` (1)`, `(1)`, `-1`, ` 2` — so the RE-EXPORT lands first in
`conversations[]` and the ORIGINAL lands last. Resolving the collision by
array index therefore threw away the newer copy every time, not half the
time.

Reproduced with an envelope built by the reference converter from two
ChatGPT downloads named the way a browser names them: 4-turn re-export at
index 0, 2-turn original at index 1, and the 2-turn page reached disk at
exit 0.

`updated_at` is a required conversation key in envelope-v0, is populated
by both vendor paths of the reference converter, and was read by nothing
here. It now decides, compared as an INSTANT (a `+05:30` value sorts above
a `Z` value it precedes) at full sub-second resolution (the converter
emits milliseconds always).

The tiebreak applies only when BOTH copies carry an orderable value.
Equal, absent, non-string or unparseable on either side falls back to
array order — a missing timestamp is not evidence of being older, and
preferring the copy that has one is a guess dressed as a rule. `created_at`
is not a secondary key: it is identical in both copies of a re-export.

The collision warning is not quieter — it is louder. It now names which
copy survived, on what basis, and with both timestamps, because
"overwriting the earlier page" is false whenever the tiebreak fires. The
run summary says "discarded" rather than "overwritten" for the same
reason: the losing copy is now sometimes never written at all.

`updated_at` is still written to no page. That is a separate, tracked gap.

Receipts: 107 pass / 0 fail (94 pre-existing, unweakened; 13 new, red-first
against cd88d1de at 96 pass / 11 fail). Over all 12 golden fixtures from
the reference converter plus the repo's sample, output pages, stdout,
stderr and exit code are byte-identical to cd88d1de — this fires only on a
filename collision.

* docs(envelope importer): name the extraction path, the UTC day, and drop a contradicted key claim

R2. The header promised `type: conversation` "keeps pages eligible for
conversation-facts extraction ... after sync" and stopped there, which
reads as "sync extracts facts from these." It does not. The accepting
path is `gbrain extract-conversation-facts`, run by hand, and its
autopilot wrapper — the `conversation_facts_backfill` cycle phase — is
opt-in and OFF by default. Both names verified against upstream/master
before writing them: src/cli.ts:1964 dispatches the command,
src/core/cycle/conversation-facts-backfill.ts:4-6 and :34 document the
phase as "Default OFF" with `enabled (false)`, and doctor.ts:3373 reads
an absent key as disabled. What the type actually buys is admission to
`ALLOWED_TYPES`, and that is now what the header says.

R3. The page `date` and every turn header are the UTC calendar day, not
the user's, and the limits block did not say so. Reproduced on this box:
a conversation held at 19:30 on Sunday 2 November 2025 in California is
`created_at: "2025-11-03T03:30:00.000Z"`, and the page comes out
`date: "2025-11-03"` — a Monday — with a Monday turn header. The output
is byte-identical under TZ=UTC, America/Los_Angeles, Asia/Kolkata,
Pacific/Kiritimati, Pacific/Midway and Europe/London (one sha across all
six), so this is the format's day, not the importing machine's.

Named as unfixable, with the reason rather than an apology: envelope-v0
renders every timestamp as `...Z` and SPEC.md rule 3 says why — "The
source's true offset is unknowable, and UTC is the only
machine-independent choice." A source offset is normalised away before
this script opens the file, and the vendor fields the reference
converter reads carry none to preserve: over the 22 conversation-level
timestamps in its own input fixtures, 16 are bare unix-epoch numbers, 4
end in `Z`, 2 have no designator, and 0 carry a numeric offset. No fix
is invented; the one available guess (the importing machine's zone)
would break determinism.

R4. Deleted the claim that "the id is the natural key," which the header
disclaimed 127 lines later in its own identity limit. The key is the
PAIR — date and id name the file — and the surviving limit already says
so correctly. The same claim appeared a second time as an in-code
comment at the filename site ("the date only leads as a ... prefix; the
id carries uniqueness"); deleting one statement of a false claim and
leaving its twin is a half-correction, so both went. Flagged as a
deviation: R4 as written names the header only.

The bullet R4 emptied also still described the pre-R1 duplicate-id
behaviour, so it is rewritten to the behaviour that now ships.

Doc-only: 107 pass / 0 fail, unchanged.

* fix(envelope importer): correct what the adversarial gate falsified in R1-R4

Six independent refuters plus a completeness critic ran against 81deb83d.
Two of my own corrections were themselves false, one broke a repo-wide CI
gate, and one real defect nobody had measured turned up. Everything here
was re-derived on this box before it was written.

BLOCKER — test/fixtures/memvelope/merged-re-export.mve.json shipped with
no trailing newline, taking scripts/check-trailing-newline.sh from green
to red. It is wired into `bun run check:all`, `bun run check:newlines` and
three call sites in scripts/ci-local.sh, so the branch could not pass the
project's own local CI. Now `trailing-newline check: ok (1547 files)`.

BLOCKER — the R2 paragraph claimed `ALLOWED_TYPES` "requires"
`type: conversation`, "so a page typed anything else is not merely un-run,
it is ineligible." False. ALLOWED_TYPES (extract-conversation-facts.ts:142)
admits six types — conversation, meeting, slack, email, imessage,
imessage-daily — and :569 defaults to the whole list. A new false claim
about a named upstream constant, in a branch whose purpose is deleting
false claims. Rewritten to say what the type actually buys: admission, not
a trigger, and one admission among six.

Also in R2: "extracts no facts from any of them until one of those two is
invoked" is unsafe as an absolute. facts/eligibility.ts ORs the type test
with RESCUE_SLUG_PREFIXES = ['meetings/','personal/','daily/'], so a page
written into an outDir syncing under one of those IS picked up by a plain
sync — subject to the 80-char MIN_BODY_CHARS floor, which nobody in the
gate noticed either. Both named; the default outDir is unaffected and now
says so.

MAJOR — R4's replacement sentence, "Two conversations carrying the SAME id
land on one filename", is false and reinstated the exact contradiction R4
removed. Verified: one id at two created_at dates writes TWO files and
zero collisions. The filename is the PAIR.

MAJOR — the same bullet stated the fallback condition backwards ("when
neither carries an orderable one"). The code (`a === null || b === null ||
a === b`) falls back when EITHER side is unorderable, or when the two are
equal, and the function's own doc said so correctly 460 lines down.

MAJOR — the R3 census was wrong by four in both figures: 22/16 should be
26/20. chatgpt-split.json is an array of PARTS, each an array of
conversations, and my counter walked the parts as if they were
conversations and scored zero. Recounted with the level flattened: 13
conversations, 26 conversation-level timestamps, 20 bare unix-epoch, 4 Z,
2 no-designator, 0 numeric offset. The conclusion is unharmed and slightly
stronger. Also narrowed "not fixable, here or upstream" to "not fixable
HERE" — a converter CAN hold a source offset and this format drops it by
design, which is a decision, not an impossibility.

MINOR (found independently by four of six refuters) — the message-delta
warning still said "the overwritten page(s)", the exact word this branch
deleted from the summary line one commit earlier for being false whenever
the tiebreak keeps the earlier copy. Now "discarded" in both places.

R1's own limits, all newly documented rather than newly introduced:
  - when only ONE copy carries an orderable `updated_at` the rule changes
    nothing and the stale copy still wins. `updated_at: null` is
    producer-reachable (both normalizers end in `|| null`) though it is 0
    of 13 in the reference corpus. Refusing to promote a copy for merely
    HAVING a timestamp is the deliberate choice; the header now states
    what it costs instead of implying coverage the rule does not have.
    The argument is also repaired: both copies come from ONE converter
    run, so the asymmetry is the vendor's and its direction is
    unrecoverable — not the weaker "an older converter" reasoning.
  - the reduction is PAIRWISE. With every copy orderable it is a true
    maximum in all six permutations; with an unorderable copy in the
    middle transitivity is lost and [later, absent, earlier] keeps
    `earlier`. Now documented and pinned by a 7-case test.
  - the tiebreak is WITHIN one envelope. Across runs, check 2 still lets
    an older export refresh a newer page at exit 0 with no warning at all.

Test-file note, stated plainly: exactly ONE pre-existing test was touched
— 'the message-delta warning ties itself to the ... pages' — whose
assertion moved from 'overwritten page(s) carried' to 'discarded page(s)
carried' to track the deliberate message change. Its claim is unchanged
and nothing was loosened. Run against the untouched cd88d1de script in a
detached worktree, the shipped test file is 100 pass / 14 fail: that one
renamed pre-existing test plus 13 of the 20 new ones.

Receipts: 114 pass / 0 fail. Adjacent suites (conversation-parser x6,
markdown x3, extract-conversation-facts, doctor backlog) 301 pass / 0
fail. Over all 12 golden fixtures from the reference converter plus the
repo's sample, pages, stdout, stderr and exit code remain byte-identical
to cd88d1de.

NOT fixed here, escalated instead: a message body containing any of
gbrain's four timeline sentinels truncates the conversation at
markdown.ts before parse.ts runs. Reproduced against a pristine
`git archive upstream/master`: five sentinel forms each take a 4-turn
conversation to 2 parsed turns with the tail reclassified into the page's
timeline, at exit 0 with stdout reporting "4 message(s)"; two controls
stay clean. The re-grade graded this class NOT-A-DEFECT on a different
measurement and the packet puts its drop table out of scope, so this is
the RE's call, not a change smuggled in here.

* test(envelope importer): make the offset guard discriminate, cover the leap-second ceiling

The test named "an offset-bearing updated_at is compared as an instant, not
lexically" asserted only `kept === 'second'`. Array order keeps the second copy
too, so the assertion could not tell "compared as an instant" from "not compared
at all". Measured on the parent commit: dropping the offset alternation from
UPDATED_AT_SHAPE — so an offset-bearing value stops parsing and the pair falls
back to array order — leaves the file at 114 pass / 0 fail. The guard was
decorative against exactly the failure it is named for.

It now runs both offset signs and asserts the VERDICT STRING, which names the
branch that decided. The negative-offset case additionally makes the
offset-bearing copy win from array position 0, an outcome the fallback cannot
produce. Both cases fail under that mutant, and under the sign-arithmetic
mutant that the old test did already catch.

The `s > 60` leap-second ceiling had no test at all. Three cases now pin it.
Two of them pin the ROLL ACROSS THE MINUTE BOUNDARY rather than inside it:
23:59:60Z IS 2027-01-01T00:00:00.000Z, so a copy carrying each of those two
strings is a TIE and falls to array order, and 23:59:60Z outranks
23:59:59.999Z by one millisecond. Asserting only that 23:59:60Z beats
23:59:59Z would have pinned nothing but f(60) > f(59) — measured: making the
seconds field contribute milliseconds instead of seconds (`s * 1000` -> `s`)
destroys the date roll and still passes such a test at 117/0. The third case
is 23:59:61Z, the only value in the file rejected solely by the ceiling.

NOT CLOSED, so nobody reads this as a mutation-clean function: two sibling
guards in `updatedAtInstant` remain decorative on this commit. Deleting either
`if (h > 23 || mi > 59) return null` or the offset-range `if (oh > 23 || om >
59) return null` leaves the file green. They are the same class; they are not
this commit's scope.

Header prose only, no behavior change:
  - The Output-layout paragraph said the filename is the (date, id) PAIR. Both
    halves are slugged, so two DISTINCT ids reach one filename and the tiebreak
    then discards one of two UNRELATED conversations while stderr calls the id
    "not unique". Stated on the SLUG, not the raw id, because raw ids predict
    nothing either way: `AbC-123`/`abc-123` differ at character 1 and collide,
    while sixty `-` plus `a` and sixty `-` plus `b` agree on all of their first
    60 characters and do not collide — `slug` strips leading/trailing `-`
    before it truncates. Check 2 below already named this class; it REFUSES
    what the tiebreak resolves.
  - The header explains at length why check 2 refuses to resolve an id-less
    `conv-1` across runs, then the code resolves that same name WITHIN one
    envelope. Both sides are now stated together, with the asymmetry named:
    the within-run path is loud and has `updated_at` on both copies, which is
    exactly the evidence check 2 lacks. Also widened — any id that SLUGS to
    `conv-N` collides with the positional name, and any id that slugs to EMPTY
    enters that namespace while still recording a non-null id in frontmatter.
  - "two different values" -> "two different INSTANTS": two different strings
    can name one instant (`09:00:00Z` and `14:30:00+05:30`) and fall back.
  - The collision block's own comment still glossed "mapping to the same
    filename" as "carrying duplicate ids" — the equation the header now
    corrects. Fixed in place.

Suite: 114 pass / 0 fail before, 118 pass / 0 fail after.

* test(envelope importer): remove a duplicate helper tsc rejects

Two functions were both named writeEnvelope. Bun hoists the later declaration,
so the earlier raw-envelope form was already dead at runtime - every call was
executing the fields form, which rebuilds the envelope from .conversations and
.meta and therefore handles both call shapes. All 118 tests passing under bun
is the proof; tsc's TS2393 was the only honest complaint.

Deleting the dead function keeps runtime behavior byte-identical. Removing it
also unmasked the two type mismatches TS2393 had hidden: envelopeWith declared
a return type of unknown for a value with a concrete shape, and writeEnvelope's
parameter did not admit the memvelope key that full-envelope call sites pass.
Both signatures now state what the values actually are.

bun run verify: 2/34 failing, identical to upstream/master's own baseline
(check:skill-brain-first and check:conversation-parser fail on the untouched
base as well).

* fix(envelope importer): recognize our own pages after gbrain re-serializes them

The pre-file sweep proved existingPageIdentity() accepted only this importer's
own JSON.stringify output. gbrain rewrites pages it holds - export --dir, the
DB-only restore path, and put_page write-through all re-emit frontmatter
through gray-matter, which writes a UUID as a plain unquoted scalar and an
all-digit or boolean-looking id single-quoted. 16 of 17 id shapes, and 13 of
13 golden-fixture ids, came back in a form JSON.parse rejects - so the page
turned foreign, a later refresh refused the whole envelope at exit 2, and the
error's remedy advised deleting gbrain's own copy, provenance and body edits
included.

idScalar() now reads the three shapes a YAML round trip produces: our own
JSON, YAML single-quoted (doubled-quote escape), and plain scalars. YAML
null shapes and the empty string stay foreign, exactly as before - refusal
remains the answer for anything not confidently recognized.

Red-first: both new tests (plain-scalar UUID, single-quoted digits) fail on
the parent and pass at this commit. 120 pass / 0 fail; typecheck clean;
bun run verify at the repo baseline.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 d610a845a8 fix(ci): gate — CommonMark info-string rule, hash the real model payload, close the YAML scanner gap (blind review round 5)
Three defects a second blind reviewer found that survived round 5. All three
reproduced against cf7a1616 before the fix and are pinned after it.

1. The fence scanner still falsely closed compliant descriptions. CommonMark 4.5
   forbids a backtick in a BACKTICK fence's info string, so ```foo`bar is an
   ordinary paragraph. The scanner opened a fence on it, never found a closer,
   and stripped the body to EOF:

     body = '```foo`bar' + three sentences of real prose + an image embed
     before: intentWordCount 0, misses [missing_intent, missing_screenshot]
     after:  intentWordCount 52, misses []

   Same class as round 5's closing-length bug and the same cost — opening a
   block CommonMark would not open deletes the author's prose exactly the way
   closing one late did. Tilde fences keep the permissive rule (4.5 restricts
   backtick fences only).

2. The spend guard hashed less than the model consumes. hashInputs covered
   title, modelBody, head.sha, exemption and policy ids — but the payload also
   carries the changed-file list and the diff, and the workflow degrades the
   diff to a marker line when the API 406s on a huge one. So a run that
   classified with no diff cached a diff-blind verdict, and the next run — real
   diff in hand, same title/body/sha — matched the hash and was served that
   verdict permanently (measured: anthropicCalls 1 across both runs). The
   assembled payload is now folded in as a fixed-width digest, inside the JSON
   tuple where quoting still makes a forged boundary impossible. Round 5's
   property is re-pinned: a policy fix past the model's body cap invalidates
   even when the payload is byte-identical.

3. The workflow's ${{ }}-in-run scanner missed a legal commented block header.
   `run: | # shell block` is valid YAML — js-yaml puts the following
   interpolation in the script — but the header fell through to the
   single-line branch, which captured `| # shell block` as the whole command
   and never looked at the block body. The rule protecting against shell
   injection reported clean over an interpolating workflow. The scanner now
   handles a trailing comment on the header, and scans the comment text too
   rather than leaving itself a hiding place. Guarded against js-yaml's actual
   parse, not against the scanner's own opinion.

Also corrected one overstated claim in the file's security block: a BARE url in
a sanitized string still autolinks under GFM. That is a self-labelled link and
the deliberate stopping point — the escaping targets the masking characters so
it cannot forge `![APPROVED](…)` or `[click to approve](…)` — but "no live
links" was too strong for what the code does.

Self-audit: all 13 interpolations into the sticky comment are either literals in
this file or pass sanitizeModelText/sanitizeList; the only unsanitized one
(titleCheck.reason) is a hardcoded literal and renders inside a code span. Every
rendered statement matches behavior the code performs. The four realistic-human
fixtures and the three new fence cases all PASS; empty, "fixes bug", the
unfilled template, ten words of lorem and a fenced-away screenshot all still
FAIL.

test/pr-gate-workflow.test.ts 158 -> 163 pass, 0 fail. Six mutations (the
CommonMark rule, the tilde exemption, the payload digest, the runGate wiring,
the scanner's comment group, the header-comment scan) each fail at least one
test. typecheck, actionlint, verify (34/34) green.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 f87488ff36 fix(ci): gate — stop red-Xing genuine contributors; neutralize markdown embeds (blind review round 4)
A blind reviewer rejected this branch on false positives and the repro held up.
The gate's intent check deleted every list and blockquote LINE before counting
words, then measured what was left against an arbitrary 40. Real people write
their story as bullets. Measured on the four realistic-human descriptions from
the repro:

  description                              before  after  floor 40  floor 20
  own prose written as four bullets             0     55  CLOSE      PASS
  short non-native-English paragraph           38     38  CLOSE      PASS
  specific first-person bug report             34     34  CLOSE      PASS
  mostly a stack trace + a real explanation    28     27  CLOSE      PASS

The file's own exemption rationale already says a check that is red on every
release is a check somebody disables inside a week. Red on every terse-but-
genuine contribution dies the same way, and it costs real contributors on the
way there — worse than the forgery risks rounds 1-3 chased.

- intentWordCount strips the list/quote MARKER and keeps the author's words.
  Still stripped: fenced code, indented code (new — the other spelling of a
  fence, guarded so it never eats a list continuation), headings, HTML
  comments, raw HTML, bare URLs, inline code, link/image syntax, and the
  template's own bold prompts. An untouched pull_request_template.md still
  scores 0, pinned against the real file on disk.
- INTENT_MIN_WORDS 40 -> 20, documented as a floor against empty/boilerplate-
  only descriptions, not a quality bar. CONTRIBUTING.md documents no word count
  at all. Empty, "fixes bug", the unfilled template, 10 words of lorem and an
  indented log paste all still fail.
- The fix-it comment no longer tells contributors to reopen a PR that was never
  closed — the gate has no close call in it. It now says what actually happens:
  editing the description re-runs the check (the workflow triggers on `edited`),
  the PR stays open, a maintainer decides.
- sanitizeModelText backslash-escapes `[` and `]`. Escaping HTML killed the
  <details> forgery, but Markdown needs no angle brackets: an image embed
  renders a green "APPROVED" picture and a link renders a live phishing target
  inside a close-lane comment. The file asserted nothing attacker-controlled
  reaches Markdown unescaped; that is now true.
- A label-API failure during a NEUTRAL run no longer throws to exit 2 with no
  comment. NEUTRAL has no verdict to record, so it logs, still posts, exits 0 —
  and the comment stops claiming labels were cleared when they were not. The
  verdict path keeps failing loudly on purpose (ordering note).

Four verbatim human descriptions are pinned as PASSING forever. Eight mutations
(floor, list markers, quote markers, indented code, markdown escaping, the
reopen copy, the NEUTRAL try/catch, the label claim) each fail at least one test.

test/pr-gate-workflow.test.ts 145 -> 158 pass, 0 fail. typecheck, actionlint,
verify (34/34) green.

Garry Tan ddb39df23a fix(ci): gate — escape comment HTML, tighten screenshot floor, fix fence false-positive, repair label ordering (blind review round 3)
Four findings from a second independent blind review, all reproduced against
HEAD before the fix and all pinned by a mutation-tested case.

- sanitizeModelText escapes &, < and > after the existing comment/mention/
  block-marker stripping, so raw HTML from any dynamic string (model output,
  mechanical flag details built from PR filenames, neutralReason, the
  policy-exempt note) renders as literal text. A <details open><summary>MERGE
  LANE — approved</summary> string is a forged verdict inside a close-lane
  comment; it now renders as &lt;details.
- hasScreenshot requires a markdown image whose URL looks like a URL or path,
  an <img> carrying a non-empty src=, or a bare paste URL, and strips HTML
  comments before scanning. `![proof](x)`, `<img alt=proof>` and an image
  hidden inside `<!-- -->` no longer clear it. Documented in the code as a
  FLOOR against zero-effort submissions, not proof.
- stripCodeFences is a line scanner following the CommonMark rule that a
  closing fence must be the same character and at least as long as the
  opening one. The old backreference read ```` as a NEW opening fence and
  stripped to EOF, so a compliant body documenting fence syntax lost its
  intent paragraph and was closed. The scanner is also linear, retiring the
  superlinear-backtracking hazard the 16KB cap was sized against.
- Labels are reconciled BEFORE the sticky comment carrying the cached state.
  Written the other way, one transient label-API 500 left stale/missing/
  duplicate labels forever: the rerun short-circuited on the persisted state
  and returned success without repairing them.

Also:
- hashInputs covers what the run consumes — the truncated model body plus the
  mechanical policy outcome — so an edit past the 6KB model cap no longer
  mints a new hash and buys an identical paid call, while a policy fix landing
  past that cap still invalidates the cached verdict.
- The test's YAML block-scalar scanner accepts indentation indicators in both
  legal orders (`>2-` as well as `|-2`), with a guard-the-guard case proving
  it sees a `run: >2-` block interpolating attacker-controlled text.
- A block at the top of the script states plainly that this gate is a triage
  signal and a reviewer checklist, not an authorization boundary; one line of
  the sticky comment footer says the same to the contributor.

145 pass / 0 fail (was 126), typecheck clean, actionlint clean, verify 34/34.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 88731d8cf3 fix(ci): gate — sanitize mechanical flag details, anchor path regexes, exempt maintainer/bot/draft from the policy check (blind review round 2)
Blind review round 2 rejected the branch. Five findings, all fixed.

BLOCKING 1 — the verdict was forgeable through a PR filename.
renderComment wrote mechanical red-flag details raw, and two of them
interpolate filenames (adds_recipe, deletes_tests). git allows a newline
inside a filename and JS `[^/]` matches one, so RECIPE_RE's anchors were
decorative: a PR adding `src/core/ai/recipes/x\n## PR Gate — ...\ncc
@octocat\n<!-- ...state... -->\nz.ts` put that text verbatim into the bot's
comment — forged heading, live third-party mention, and on the NEUTRAL
render (which writes no state block of its own) parseState() returned the
ATTACKER's block, so the next run hit the spend guard and silently skipped
the verdict with no label and exit 0. Three layers:
  (a) flag details go through sanitizeList, exactly like the model's
      strings. Audited every other interpolation into the comment; the rest
      are literals in the file, Number()-coerced, or already sanitized.
  (b) every path regex spells its segment class [^/\n], not [^/] —
      RECIPE_RE, SOURCE_EXT_RE and the test-path check.
  (c) parseState reads the state block only off line 2 of a marker-leading
      comment (where renderComment writes it) and STATE_RE is whole-line
      anchored. A block anywhere else is somebody else's text.

BLOCKING 2 — no exemption, so every release PR was close-lane.
Measured: 40 of the last 40 merged PRs would be close-lane on
missing_screenshot, including every /ship release PR. A check that is red
on every release gets switched off within a week, and then it filters
nothing. The #3745 policy exists to filter INCOMING OUTSIDE CONTRIBUTIONS;
release automation cannot take a screenshot of itself. It is now waived for
OWNER/MEMBER/COLLABORATOR, bot authors and drafts — the usefulness verdict,
the title rule and every mechanical red flag still run, and the sticky
comment says the check was skipped. author_association / draft / user.type
are read from the pr.json the workflow already fetches: no new API call, one
source of truth. `draft` is the one author-settable input, so
ready_for_review joins the trigger list and the exemption is folded into the
spend-guard hash — the draft-era verdict cannot be reused after the flip.
Stated as a deliberate decision in both the workflow header and the script.

3 — DOWNGRADE_FLAG_IDS omitted deletes_tests, adds_symlink and
adds_node_modules, so a PR deleting test/e2e/engine-parity.test.ts kept
merge-lane and a green check on the strength of its prose. All three added.
The old test used deletes_tests as its example of a NON-downgrading flag;
rewritten to pin the stronger invariant instead — every id detectRedFlags
can emit is a downgrade trigger (derived from the detector, so a new flag
fails until it is classified on purpose), and the set is still an allowlist
(an unrecognized id changes nothing).

4 — FENCE_RE backtracks superlinearly on a hostile body: 65KB of backticks
(GitHub's max body length) measured 8.2s across the two policy scans on a
pull_request_target runner. stripCodeFences now caps the scan at 16KB —
same input, 0.40s. Tradeoff documented at the constant: the intent
paragraph and the screenshot both sit near the top in practice (the PR
template puts them in the first two sections, and the model payload already
caps the same body at 6KB), so a real contributor is not judged on a
truncated tail.

Verified: test/pr-gate-workflow.test.ts 126 pass / 0 fail (was 95),
typecheck clean, actionlint clean, check-privacy /
check-no-tracked-symlinks / check-progress-to-stdout /
check-bun-test-timeout / check-key-files-current-state all exit 0. Each new
pin was mutation-tested against the pre-fix behavior: all six mutants fail
the suite.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 4a00c31b12 fix(ci): gate policy check survives an API outage; merge master; drop NUL separators
Three fixes on the strict PR usefulness gate (#3698), plus the merge that
brings in the policy it enforces.

1. The mechanical policy check now outlives the model. The
   ANTHROPIC_API_KEY guard used to sit above detectPolicyMisses, so a PR
   with no intent paragraph and no screenshot got a green NEUTRAL skip
   whenever the key was absent or Anthropic was down — "wait for a 500"
   was a documented way past the one hard requirement. The #3745 branch
   now sits above the key guard and the spend guard: a policy miss is
   close-lane + the friendly fix-it comment + exit 1 with no API
   dependency at all. A compliant PR that hits a missing key or a dead
   API keeps the round-1 NEUTRAL behavior unchanged (loud comment,
   ::warning::, exit 0, stale gate:* labels cleared) — and the NEUTRAL
   comment now says plainly that the *usefulness verdict* did not run,
   while still reporting the title check and mechanical red flags it was
   able to compute without a model.

2. Merged origin/master, which carries #3745's CONTRIBUTING.md section
   and .github/pull_request_template.md. No conflicts: this branch never
   touched VERSION / package.json / CHANGELOG.md, so master's 0.42.72.1
   carried through untouched — the feature branch adds no version bump.
   The test's inlined pull_request_template fallback (only needed while
   the branch predated the merge) is gone; it now reads the real file, so
   growing the template's own prose past the 40-word bar fails here
   instead of silently letting an untouched template through. The
   CONTRIBUTING_URL deep link is pinned against a GitHub-style slug of
   every heading in the merged CONTRIBUTING.md, with the slugger itself
   pinned so it cannot "pass" against an anchor GitHub never generates.

3. hashInputs joined its three fields with literal NUL bytes, which made
   grep treat the whole of scripts/pr-gate.mjs as binary — any future
   grep-based CI guard over that file would have matched nothing and
   passed silently. Replaced with JSON.stringify of the tuple: still
   unforgeable (each field is quoted and escaped), still stable by
   construction, and printable. `grep -c hashInputs scripts/pr-gate.mjs`
   now returns 2 instead of nothing. Existing sticky-comment state hashes
   are invalidated once, costing one re-verdict per open PR.

Tests: 95 pass / 0 fail in test/pr-gate-workflow.test.ts. The no-API-key
policy-miss case was verified to fail against the pre-fix ordering.
Verified live against the Anthropic API: HTTP 200, strict JSON, all seven
required keys, merge-lane on a compliant fixture.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 94662eb1e1 feat(ci): gate enforces the #3745 intent-paragraph + screenshot requirement
CONTRIBUTING.md (#3745) requires every PR to carry a paragraph the author
wrote themselves and a screenshot of gbrain actually in use. The gate now
checks both, mechanically, before it spends anything on review.

What it checks (no LLM, both exported for testing):
- hasScreenshot: markdown `![alt](url)`, a bare user-images.githubusercontent
  or github.com/user-attachments/assets URL, or an <img> tag. Anything inside
  a fenced code block does not count — pasting the syntax is not attaching
  the picture.
- hasIntentParagraph: >= 40 words of prose left after stripping fenced code,
  blockquotes, list items, headings, HTML comments, links and the PR
  template's own boilerplate. Per-character scripts are tokenized per
  character, so a paragraph written in Chinese counts as one.

The two lane consequences:
- missing_screenshot OR missing_intent forces close-lane from any recommended
  lane (exit 1) and skips the model call entirely — closed without review is
  the documented consequence, so there is nothing to spend a review on. The
  sticky comment leads with what is missing, how to fix it, and the reopen
  path; both misses are also recorded in the existing "Mechanical downgrades
  applied" section.
- The model's new advisory intent_authenticity verdict forces
  needs-maintainer (exit 0) when it reads "ai_generated", and never
  close-lane on that signal alone. The comment says only that a maintainer
  will read the paragraph personally; the model's reasoning is consumed and
  never published at the contributor.

Rubric + strict-JSON schema gain intent_authenticity and
intent_authenticity_reason, with explicit instructions that rough grammar,
terseness and non-native English are evidence of a HUMAN and that "unclear"
is the answer whenever the evidence is not clear-cut.

test/pr-gate-workflow.test.ts: 63 -> 88 tests, all green.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 2f65ed8da6 fix(ci): harden the PR gate — comment-ownership, output sanitization, deterministic lane downgrades (blind review round 1)
Two independent blind reviews of #3698 (one APPROVE, one REJECT). Every
confirmed finding from the reject side, plus the cheap hardening both
reviews flagged.

BLOCKING

1. Sticky-comment hijack. upsertStickyComment adopted ANY comment containing
   the marker, so a contributor could pre-post `<!-- gbrain-pr-gate -->`, have
   the gate PATCH it, then edit it into a fake green verdict. isOwnComment()
   now requires user.type === 'Bot' AND login === 'github-actions[bot]' AND
   the body to START WITH the marker; anything else gets a fresh comment.

2. LLM output injected as raw Markdown. Model-produced reasons[] and
   reviewer_checklist[] reached the comment unescaped — PR-body-driven
   injection could forge headings, a second marker, and live @mentions.
   sanitizeModelText()/sanitizeList() are now the single choke point in
   renderComment(): HTML comments stripped, mentions zero-width-broken,
   leading block markers removed, newlines collapsed, 300 chars per string,
   8 entries per list, both caps self-marking.

3. Lane was purely model-decided. A well-written feature pitch could talk
   itself into merge-lane. The model now RECOMMENDS; applyMechanicalDowngrades
   forces merge-lane -> needs-maintainer on any of: workflow edits, a new
   package.json dependency, a new src/core/ai/recipes/ provider file, new
   KNOWN_CONFIG_KEYS entries, >40 changed files, >400 net source lines outside
   test/, or a src/ change with no test file touched (#3665). The sticky
   comment reports them under "Mechanical downgrades applied".

4. The test file did not pin what it claimed. Added: no gh pr checkout /
   git fetch / refs/pull / pull/*/head in any spelling; exact permissions
   key->value map plus a single-permissions-block assertion so no job-level
   grant re-widens contents; the ${{ }}-in-run scanner now covers folded
   (`run: >`) and chomped blocks, with a guard-the-guard test; and mocked
   end-to-end runGate() runs for close-lane exit 1, marker hijack, sanitizer,
   truncation, refusal routing, NEUTRAL label clearing, label swap, and the
   spend guard.

5. Version-first title regex rejected the documented suffix form.
   `v0.31.1.1-fixwave fix: ...` now passes. VERSION_AT_END_RE no longer
   false-positives on `chore: bump zod (3.25.76)`: it fires only on a
   v-prefixed or 4-segment trailing version, i.e. this project's own shape.

6. Refusal fail-open. stop_reason=refusal exhausted retries into a green
   NEUTRAL — a deterministic way to dodge the red X. Refusal and
   schema-invalid output now route to needs-maintainer with an explicit
   note; only transport failure stays NEUTRAL. Refusal also short-circuits
   the retry loop, since retrying a deterministic refusal only burns spend.

ALSO

7. persist-credentials: false on the checkout step.
8. Dropped pull-requests:write. Everything the script calls is the issues
   API (comments, label create, label add/remove), so issues:write is the
   only grant that is actually needed.
9. Spend guard for the edited/synchronize amplification: the LLM call is
   skipped when sha256(title+body+head_sha) matches the hash recorded in the
   previous sticky comment's state block, and the stored lane's exit code is
   reused.
10. NEUTRAL runs now clear every gate:* label instead of leaving a stale
    verdict behind.

Verified: bun test test/pr-gate-workflow.test.ts 63 pass / 0 fail,
bun run typecheck clean, actionlint clean, check-privacy /
check-no-tracked-symlinks / check-progress-to-stdout /
check-bun-test-timeout clean, plus a live Anthropic smoke of the exact
request shape (HTTP 200, valid strict JSON, injection attempt rejected).

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 ca1eed3e95 feat(ci): strict PR usefulness gate — merge-lane/close-lane verdict before any review effort (#3698)
Runs on pull_request_target against master. PR code is never checked out
or executed: metadata + a 120KB-capped diff come from the GitHub API only;
the base-repo checkout provides the rubric script. All interpolations are
env-bound; actions SHA-pinned; permissions limited to contents:read +
pull-requests:write + issues:write; per-PR concurrency with cancel.

scripts/pr-gate.mjs (no deps, fetch only) classifies via the strict
usefulness rubric (claude-sonnet-5, strict JSON schema, thinking disabled;
sampling params omitted — rejected on this model), posts one sticky
comment (<!-- gbrain-pr-gate -->), applies exactly one gate:* label, and
exits 1 only on close-lane. Missing ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or API failure after
2 retries NEUTRAL-skips loudly (comment + warning, exit 0). Mechanical
(no-LLM) checks: version-first title rule and diff red flags (>40 files,
node_modules, symlinks, workflow edits force needs-maintainer, new
package.json deps, deleted tests).

test/pr-gate-workflow.test.ts pins the security invariants and unit-tests
the exported title rule + red-flag detector (import side-effect guarded).

Require the line-level opt-out marker to be standalone inside real comment trivia so negated or incidental longer tokens cannot authorize an import. Preserve the existing general marked-line contract and pin it with focused regression coverage.

Sean Gearin a12ab5eabc fix(import): quote frontmatter values and omit absent conversation id (#3600)
Review follow-up to #3549.

An envelope is a third-party file, so interpolating source_provider raw let a
provider string carrying a newline close the scalar and inject arbitrary
frontmatter keys. title: on the line above was already quoted; source: now
matches it.

memvelope_conversation_id emitted the literal string undefined when a
conversation carried no id, which asserts a value rather than reporting
absence: every id-less conversation claims the same id, so anything grouping
or deduping on that key merges unrelated pages. The key is now omitted.

Filename and frontmatter read one hasId predicate so they cannot disagree
about whether an id exists. Tests add both cases; the injection case parses
emitted frontmatter with js-yaml rather than substring-matching it.

Sean Gearin 1057bf4368 feat(import): standalone importer seeding a brain from envelope-v0 chat-history files (#3549)
One Markdown page per conversation from an envelope-v0 file (format spec:
github.com/memvelope/memvelope), written into a directory gbrain sync
ingests. Zero dependencies, deterministic, no network; does not call gbrain.

Filenames are date + conversation id (collision-proof natural key; duplicate
ids overwrite their own file and warn on stderr). Frontmatter carries
type: conversation, source provider, conversation id, and origin. Bodies keep
message-id citations per speaker turn.

Ships as script + test + fixture only; usage and verification steps live in
the script header.

913d2d7f79 fix(test): give slow setup hooks a real timeout budget (#3566)
bun ignores bunfig.toml's timeout key, and beforeAll/beforeEach hooks do
NOT inherit a test's third-arg timeout — a bare `bun test` gives every
hook the 5000ms default even when all tests in the file declare 30s+.
Measured on bun 1.3.14: a 6s hook dies at ~5001ms with the signature
`(unnamed) [5001ms] ... hook timed out` (the #3545 jsonb-parity CI
failure); both `beforeAll(fn, ms)` and the CLI `--timeout` flag are
enforced hook budgets (kills observed at exactly the configured ms).

Fixes:
- e2e.yml (jsonb-parity, tier1, tier2) and release.yml ran bare
  `bun test`; they now pass --timeout=60000 like every scripts/ runner.
- test/e2e/jsonb-roundtrip.test.ts (the #2339 double-encode guard, which
  only real Postgres can surface) additionally carries per-hook 60s
  budgets so a bare local run can't flake either — same pattern as its
  sibling op-checkpoint-jsonb-parity.test.ts.
- scripts/check-bun-test-timeout.sh: CI guard (run from test.yml's
  verify job) failing any future bare `bun test` in workflows/scripts.
- scripts/run-e2e.sh: correct the comment claiming --timeout is
  per-test-only (it covers hooks; the outer gtimeout exists for
  sync-blocking WASM hangs where no timer can fire).

Proof: with Postgres paused for 6s during setupDB's connect, the
unfixed file fails at 5001.81ms with the exact CI signature; the fixed
file passes the identical condition (5 pass, 6.57s). 396 slow
before-hooks across 362 test files lack per-hook budgets; all of them
run through --timeout-passing invocations after this change, enforced
by the new guard.

Eoin O'BrienandClaude Opus 5 2a17a4dab5 fix(repo): untrack node_modules symlink, guard against tracked symlinks (#3463)
Commit faf5cdba tracked `node_modules -> /tmp/fleet/repo/node_modules`.
That path exists only on the sandbox that produced it, so every other
clone materialized a dangling symlink and `bun install` aborted with
`ENOENT: could not open the "node_modules" directory`. That also broke
`gbrain upgrade` on bun-link installs, which shells out to bun install
and then prints a manual fallback that fails identically.

Three changes:

- Untrack the symlink (`git rm --cached node_modules`).
- Drop the trailing slash from the .gitignore node_modules patterns. A
  `node_modules/` pattern matches directories only, which is why a
  symlink of the same name was never ignored in the first place.
- Add scripts/check-no-tracked-symlinks.sh, wired into `bun run verify`
  and `check:all`. The .gitignore fix alone is not sufficient, since
  `git add -f` bypasses it; the guard fails on any mode-120000 entry.
  The repo has no legitimate tracked symlinks, so it starts with an
  empty allowlist.

Covered by test/no-tracked-symlinks-guard.test.ts, which builds a
throwaway repo containing the exact symlink shape and asserts the guard
exits 1 and names the offender.

0bbaed2e48 v0.42.67.0 feat(migrate): provider-agnostic embedding migration — the path off ZeroEntropy (#3390, fixes #3391) (#3459)
* feat(migrate): provider-agnostic embedding migration service — the path off ZeroEntropy (#3390)

- gbrain migrate embeddings --to <provider:model> (alias: retrieval-upgrade):
  plan + cost preflight, consent gate (--yes / TTY confirm / non-TTY exit 2),
  live probe against the target provider before any mutation, env-override
  gate, schema dimension transition via the shared runSchemaTransition,
  dual-plane config write, NULL-signature-inclusive invalidation, query-cache
  purge, resumable re-embed through the standard embed pipeline (single-flight
  locks, backoff, pacing, stderr progress). Killed runs resume by re-running
  the same command; the NULL-embedding column is the checkpoint.
- #3391 root-cause fix (both engines): countStaleChunks / sumStaleChunkChars /
  invalidateStaleSignatureEmbeddings accept includeNullSignature to lift the
  v108 grandfather clause; embed --stale warns loudly when a model swap
  leaves NULL-signature pages in the old embedding space, and
  --include-null-signature re-embeds them. Default sweep behavior unchanged.
- knobs_hash v=12 → v=13 (prov=default legacy callers must not be served
  pre-migration cache rows).
- migrate_embeddings op: scope admin, localOnly, hidden cliHints, hard
  remote refusal, needs_confirmation without yes=true.
- One-shot post-upgrade ZE-sunset banner (ze_sunset_notice_shown) for brains
  resolving to a zeroentropyai:* embedding model or reranker.
- doctor's dimension-mismatch repair hint now names the real command.
- Docs: docs/guides/embedding-migration.md, KEY_FILES entries, spend-controls
  gate row. Tests: PGLite unit + full-lifecycle flow (interrupted-run resume),
  real-Postgres e2e (pgvector DDL path + #3391 predicate parity).

* fix(test): satisfy check:test-isolation + bump the remaining knobs_hash pins

- test/migrate-embeddings-flow.test.ts → .serial.test.ts: the file holds a
  temp GBRAIN_HOME + an installed fake embed transport for its whole
  lifecycle (beforeAll → afterAll), which withEnv() can't wrap. This also
  fixes the CI shard-pollution failure in
  test/ai/recipes-existing-regression.test.ts (that file passes solo on both
  master and this branch; the flow test's configureGateway + provider-key
  deletion was leaking into it inside the same shard process).
- test/embedding-migration.test.ts: env-override case now uses withEnv().
- Bump the three remaining KNOBS_HASH_VERSION pins to 13
  (cross-modal-phase1, search-alias-resolved-boost, search/knobs-hash-reranker).
- Docs + llms bundles follow the test rename.

* chore(test): wire the new Postgres e2e into the smart e2e selector map

Changes to embed.ts / embedding-migration.ts / retrieval-upgrade-planner.ts /
postgres-engine.ts now trigger test/e2e/migrate-embeddings-postgres.test.ts —
the #3391 stale predicates and runSchemaTransition's DDL path behave
differently on real pgvector than on PGLite, so the smart selector has to know.

* feat(migrate): consult spend.posture in the embedding-migration consent gate

The brief asked the gate to honor spend.posture; it previously didn't read it
at all. Now it does — but deliberately does NOT bypass on tokenmax: posture
waives the spend CEILING, and this gate also guards a destructive schema
rebuild (existing vectors dropped, retrieval degraded until the re-embed
finishes). Under tokenmax the dollar figure is marked informational on stderr
and the confirmation is still asked; --yes stays the single scripted bypass.

Pinned by a new case in the flow test so a later refactor can't quietly turn
posture into a bypass. Guide + spend-controls table updated to match.

* feat(exports): expose runThink synthesis via gbrain/think subpath

The think synthesis pipeline (runThink, stripGapsSection, persistSynthesis,
maxOutputTokensFor + the ThinkResult/ParsedCitation types) lives in
src/core/think/index.ts but is not reachable through the public exports
map. Downstream consumers importing `gbrain/think` fail to resolve it, and
no other exported entrypoint re-exports runThink.

Add `./think` to package.json exports and extend the public-exports
contract test (count 20 -> 21; new EXPECTED_EXPORTS row with runtime
canaries runThink + stripGapsSection). Test passes 38/38.

Left the VERSION / package.json version / CHANGELOG / llms bumps to the
maintainer /ship flow to avoid colliding with the version-queue allocator.

* fix(ci): bump public-exports guard baseline to 21 for gbrain/think

The new ./think subpath grows the exports map to 21 entries;
scripts/check-exports-count.sh still pinned EXPECTED_COUNT=20 and
exits 1 on growth, failing CI.

1f319e6d5a fix(scripts): capture check/shard rc before watchdog teardown in no-timeout fallback (#2864) (#3340)
On machines with neither gtimeout nor timeout on PATH, run-verify-parallel.sh
and run-unit-parallel.sh fall back to a bg-pid + sleep-watchdog cap. Both
read $? only after tearing the watchdog down (kill + wait on cap_pid), so the
sentinel .exit files recorded the killed watchdog's status — 143 — instead of
the check/shard's own exit code. Every run reported total failure (verify:
pass=0 fail=31; unit: rc=143 per shard) while every per-check/shard log
showed success.

Capture rc immediately after `wait $pid` in both scripts, and reap the
watchdog's sleep child (pkill -P, children-first — the same orphan quirk the
heartbeat cleanup documents) so the fallback stops leaking one sleep per
check/shard.

Regression tests force the fallback branch hermetically on any host via a
curated PATH with no timeout binaries: the verify dispatcher runs from a
tempdir copy with a stubbed `bun`, pinning exit 0 + all-zero sentinels when
checks pass and the check's own rc (not 143) when one fails; the unit wrapper
runs real two-shard fixture passes, pinning rc=0 sentinels and a real
failure's rc=1.

Sanjay Santhanam 1229bec1eb fix(postinstall): cross-platform node shim instead of POSIX shell (#1554)
* fix(postinstall): cross-platform node shim instead of POSIX shell

The postinstall script used POSIX shell syntax ('command -v',
'>/dev/null 2>&1', '1>&2') which Bun's built-in script parser rejects
on Windows. 'bun install' aborted with 'expected a command or
assignment but got: "Redirect"' before gbrain could ever be probed.

Replace with a one-liner 'node -e' shim that:

* uses spawnSync to probe 'gbrain --version' (shell:true on win32 so
  the Windows shim/.cmd resolution works)
* on success: runs 'gbrain apply-migrations --yes --non-interactive'
  and propagates its exit code
* on failure: writes the same skip message to stderr and exits 0, so
  fresh clones (where gbrain isn't on PATH yet) still complete install

POSIX hosts retain the original behavior; Windows hosts now succeed
instead of failing the whole install.

Fixes #1486

* fix(postinstall): move logic to scripts/postinstall.ts to survive Bun Windows script-runner

The `node -e` inline shim still failed on Windows under Bun. Embedding a
program inside the package.json postinstall string lets the lifecycle shell
mangle it: Bun's Windows script-runner expands the `\n` in the hint string
into a REAL newline before node sees it, producing `SyntaxError: Invalid or
unexpected token` and aborting the whole install. `node` is also not
guaranteed present under a Bun install (bun is the guaranteed runtime), and
`shell: win32` re-opened a quoting surface.

Move the logic into a checked-in `scripts/postinstall.ts` run via
`bun run scripts/postinstall.ts`, matching the repo's existing convention of
~19 scripts under scripts/*.ts. This sidesteps all three failure modes:

* `which('gbrain')` from bun does Windows-aware PATH resolution (finds
  gbrain / gbrain.exe / gbrain.cmd) with no shell.
* `Bun.spawnSync` with an argv array invokes apply-migrations directly —
  no shell, nothing to quote, no `\n` expansion.
* No dependency on `node` being present; bun runs the script.

Behavior is preserved exactly: same `apply-migrations --yes
--non-interactive` command, same issue-218 skip hint, and the same
never-fail-the-install guarantee (every path exits 0). Verified on macOS:
`bun run scripts/postinstall.ts` exits 0 on the skip path (gbrain absent),
on a failing migration, and on a successful migration.

Fixes #1486

Garry TanandClaude Opus 4.8 dde1132a29 v0.42.55.0 fix(security): dotfile/skills/slug confinement + DCR consent default + schema-lint migration (#418 #419 #245 #1353 #1647 #171 #1385) (#2399)
* fix(security): confine routing dotfiles, skills dir, slugs, and transcription exec

Shared src/core/path-confine.ts consolidates the realpath-containment idiom
(moved from sources-ops.ts) and adds isTrustedDotfile + isWriteTargetContained.

- .gbrain-source (source-resolver) and .gbrain-mount (brain-resolver) walk-up
  dotfiles are now lstat trust-gated: a symlink, foreign-owned, or world-writable
  file is refused on multi-user hosts (#418), fail-closed on stat error.
- resolveWorkspaceSkillsDir + every skills-dir tier (env, cwd_walk_up, repo_root,
  cwd_skills, install_path) route through realpath containment so a symlinked
  workspace/skills can't escape the declared workspace (#419).
- resolveSourceId/resolveBrainId realpath both sides of the registered local_path
  / mount prefix match so a symlinked cwd can't misattribute source/brain.
- validateSlug rejects NUL/control, bidi/RTL overrides, backslashes, and
  URL-encoded path separators at the shared putPage/updateSlug chokepoint;
  write-through confirms the file path stays within the source tree.
- transcribeLargeFile uses execFileSync arg-arrays + fs.rmSync (no shell), so a
  path with shell metacharacters is never parsed by a shell (#245).

* fix(security): default dynamic-registration clients to authorization_code

Self-registered DCR clients (the unauthenticated network registration path)
previously defaulted to the client_credentials grant, which bypasses the
/authorize consent screen. They now default to authorization_code; an explicit
client_credentials request is rejected with invalid_client_metadata unless the
operator opts in with the new --enable-dcr-insecure flag. A loud stderr WARNING
prints at startup whenever DCR is enabled (#1353). Manual CLI/admin client
registration is unchanged (operator-trusted).

* fix(security): schema-lint hardening migration (search_path + view security_invoker)

Migration v120 brings existing brains to the same posture as fresh installs:

- ALTER VIEW page_links SET (security_invoker = on) on Postgres so the view
  honors the caller's RLS instead of the owner's (the view-through-RLS bypass).
- ALTER FUNCTION ... SET search_path on the gbrain-owned trigger/event functions
  (both engines, IF EXISTS so engine-only functions are skipped; body untouched,
  so the load-bearing auto_enable_rls event trigger is unchanged). Closes #171.
- Broaden the BYPASSRLS preflight in the historical RLS migration gates to honor
  superuser and inherited-role BYPASSRLS, so a superuser-connected fresh install
  no longer aborts (#1385).

Fresh-install function definitions in schema.sql / pglite-schema.ts are
born-correct (regenerated schema-embedded.ts). scripts/check-search-path.sh is a
new CI guard (wired into verify) that fails if a trigger function in the schema
base files is added without SET search_path. Postgres-only assertions live in the
bootstrap E2E; the PGLite path is covered by test/migration-v120.test.ts.

* fix(security): correct plpgsql alias collision in #1385 BYPASSRLS gate (real-PG)

The broadened BYPASSRLS preflight aliased `pg_roles r`, but several RLS DO-blocks
already declare `r record` for their backfill FOR loop, so plpgsql resolved
`r.oid`/`r.rolbypassrls` to the unassigned record variable → "record \"r\" is
not assigned yet" on real Postgres (PGLite tolerated it; the DATABASE_URL-gated
e2e jobs are the backstop). Renamed the subquery alias to `pr` at all 10
migrate.ts sites; also broadened the schema.sql base RLS gate the same way (with
the `pr` alias) for #1385 consistency on superuser fresh installs, and
regenerated schema-embedded.ts.

Also fixes a PRE-EXISTING engine-parity bug (confirmed failing on clean
origin/master): the relationalFanout shape compared `canonical_chunk_id`, a
serial id that diverges between a fresh PGLite engine and a shared Postgres DB
(setupDB TRUNCATEs without RESTART IDENTITY). Compare its presence, not the
exact value.

Validated on real Postgres (pgvector/pg16): migration v120 applies, the v35 RLS
backfill runs, and engine-parity + postgres-bootstrap + jsonb-parity are green.

Garry TanandClaude Opus 4.8 814258dda6 v0.42.53.0 fix(sync,db): #2339 op_checkpoints jsonb double-encode + bug-class sweep + CI guard (#2375)
* fix(sync): op_checkpoints pin write double-encodes jsonb — every sync aborts (#2339)

recordCompleted bound JSON.stringify(array) to a $3::jsonb param via postgres.js
.unsafe(), double-encoding it into a jsonb string scalar that violates the v119
op_checkpoints_completed_keys_array CHECK — aborting every multi-source sync on
real Postgres at the first checkpoint write. PGLite parses the string silently,
which is why unit tests stayed green and it shipped. Cast through $3::text::jsonb
so the text->jsonb cast parses a genuine array. Adds a DATABASE_URL-gated parity
test + a dedicated Postgres CI job so the guard can never silently skip.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(db): sweep positional jsonb double-encode sites + AST CI guard (#2324)

Every executeRaw/.unsafe site that bound JSON.stringify(x) to a bare positional
jsonb cast double-encodes on real Postgres (same class as #2339). Sweep them all
to the text::jsonb form across query-cache, sources-ops, llm-base,
calibration-profile, impact-capture, subagent, receipt-write, traversal-cache,
symbol-resolver, and the agent/sources commands. Adds scripts/check-jsonb-params.mjs
(AST-lite scanner for the positional form the legacy template grep misses, incl.
generic-typed calls), wired into check-jsonb-pattern.sh, with a self-test. PGLite's
native db.query is not scanned — it parses text to jsonb natively, so the bug can't
occur there.

Garry TanandClaude Opus 4.8 70d5f36db6 v0.42.50.0 ci: reliability hardening — cancel-superseded + per-job timeouts + actionlint + hermetic E2E env (#2254)
* ci: cancel superseded runs + per-job timeouts on test.yml & e2e.yml

Ports the GH-Actions hygiene gbrain already uses in heavy-tests.yml to the two
hot-path workflows. concurrency cancels a superseded run (keyed on PR number for
pull_request events — fork-safe — with github.ref fallback for push/scheduled);
frees runners and stops a stale-SHA run reporting a flaky failure on an obsolete
commit. Per-job timeout-minutes (test matrix 15, verify 12, serial 15, slow-* 12,
e2e tier1 20 / tier2 30, trivial jobs 5-10) convert a wedged job from a 6-hour
zombie (GitHub's default) into a fast legible fail. fail-fast:false already set.

* ci: add actionlint workflow (rhysd/actionlint v1.7.11, SHA-pinned)

Lints workflow YAML on .github/workflows/** changes so a malformed workflow /
bad action ref / missing-permission bug is caught before it ships a broken
pipeline. gbrain edits these workflows often; cheap preventive guard. Mirrors
GStack's actionlint job, SHA-pinned to gbrain's convention.

* ci(e2e): scrub operator/agent env before E2E (hermetic runner)

A dev or Conductor shell exports CONDUCTOR_*/MCP_*/OPENCLAW_*/GBRAIN_* overrides
that silently change test behavior, making hermetic E2E non-hermetic and its
failures unreproducible across machines. run-e2e.sh drops those prefixes before
bun starts (denylist — PATH/HOME/TMPDIR/DATABASE_URL survive; GBRAIN_HOME kept
for the existing HOME isolation). Adapts GStack's buildHermeticEnv to gbrain's
shell runner. Verified: a 78-test e2e file passes with DATABASE_URL surviving +
a planted GBRAIN_BRAIN_ID scrubbed.

* v0.42.50.0 ci: reliability hardening — cancel-superseded + per-job timeouts + actionlint + hermetic E2E env

Ports GStack's CI-reliability hygiene to gbrain's hot-path workflows: concurrency
cancel-in-progress (PR-number keyed), per-job timeout-minutes (no more 6-hour
zombie jobs), an actionlint workflow, and an operator-env scrub in run-e2e.sh.

Garry TanandClaude Fable 5 a81f7e05e8 v0.42.43.0 feat(context): push-based context (#2095) + teardown-exit hardening (#2084) (#2175)
* fix(cli): exit deliberately after bounded teardown instead of riding the 10s backstop (#2084)

Root cause: bounded teardown (endPoolBounded, #2015) RESOLVES, but lingering
sockets — embedding-provider fetch keep-alive, PgBouncer txn-mode sockets the
bound raced past — keep Bun's event loop alive, so every `gbrain query` paid
a flat 10s tax exiting via the hard-deadline force-exit banner.

Three changes, one contract:

- flushStdoutThenExit (cli-force-exit.ts): when main() resolves and the
  command is not a daemon, exit deliberately — after stdout AND stderr drain
  (writableLength===0, 'drain'-event + poll loop, 2s unref'd guard for a
  blocked pipe). Incident #1959 (force-exit truncating piped stdout) is the
  regression class; pinned by a 256KB real-pipe subprocess test.

- drainThenDisconnect (cli.ts): ONE owner-disconnect helper at all 8 sites
  (op-dispatch, CLI_ONLY fall-through, search dashboard, doctor remediation
  x3, ze-switch, dream, read-only timeout path). Drains the background-work
  registry, then disconnect (best-effort), bounded by the 10s unref'd
  hard-deadline — which is now armed around the TEARDOWN window only, not
  before the op handler (the old placement would have force-killed any op
  slower than 10s). Closes the filed TODOS P3 drain-hoist: six sites
  previously skipped the drain entirely and had no hang timer at all.

- Inner process.exit sweep: mid-handler exits in engine-owning/output-bearing
  paths (status, friction, claw-test, smoke-test, eval cross-modal /
  takes-quality replay / conversation-parser / whoknows-thin, status-thin)
  become process.exitCode + return so they flow through the drains and the
  flush-exit. Pre-engine usage/parse/refusal exits stay as-is.

BrainRegistry.disconnectAll deliberately unchanged: zero production callers
in src/, per-engine disconnects already bounded, and the kernel reclaims
sockets on exit (src/core/timeout.ts doctrine).

DAEMON_COMMANDS gains 'watch' ahead of the #2095 push transport.

* test(e2e): PgBouncer transaction-mode pooler in CI + teardown e2e (#2084)

Three consecutive waves (#1972#2015#2084) fixed pooler-teardown bugs
verified only against one production deployment — CI had no transaction-mode
pooler and could never see the class. Now it can:

- docker-compose.ci.yml: `pgbouncer` service (transaction pooling) fronting
  postgres-1, mirroring the production split-pool topology (direct :5432 +
  pooled :6543). AUTH_TYPE=plain (pg16 SCRAM verifiers need the plaintext
  password in the userlist) + IGNORE_STARTUP_PARAMETERS for the
  statement_timeout/idle_in_transaction_session_timeout startup params
  gbrain's client sets (the Supabase pooler whitelists the same).
- test/e2e/pgbouncer-teardown.test.ts: schema + fixture via the DIRECT url
  into a dedicated `gbrain_pgbouncer` database (never races shard TRUNCATEs),
  then spawns the real CLI against the POOLED url and asserts: exit 0,
  stdout intact (the #1959 truncation class), and NO
  "did not return within 10000ms — force-exiting" banner (pre-#2084 it
  printed on 100% of query-shaped ops on this topology). Class bound, not
  exact timing. Skips gracefully without GBRAIN_PGBOUNCER_URL.
- scripts/ci-local.sh: threads GBRAIN_PGBOUNCER_URL +
  GBRAIN_PGBOUNCER_DIRECT_URL into all three e2e phases.

Verified live: both tests green against pgbouncer 1.25.2 in transaction mode.

* feat(schema): context_volunteer_events table (v116) — push-context feedback log (#2095)

One row per page the brain volunteers (op / reflex / watch channels).
"Used" is DERIVED, never written: pages.last_retrieved_at > volunteered_at
(the existing bumpLastRetrievedAt write-back is the open/cite signal), so
there is no second tracking path. session_id/turn are nullable
caller-supplied attribution; rationale is a deterministic template string,
never raw conversation text.

- Migration v116 (idempotent) + mirrors in src/schema.sql +
  src/core/pglite-schema.ts + regenerated schema-embedded.ts (regen also
  folds in pre-existing comment-only drift from the v114 links edits).
- src/core/context/volunteer-events.ts: insertVolunteerEvents (ONE
  multi-row parameterized INSERT — never per-row awaited round-trips) +
  purgeStaleVolunteerEvents (90-day GC, returns 0 on pre-v116 brains).
- Dream cycle purge phase prunes stale events alongside op_checkpoints /
  brainstorm checkpoints / batch-retry audit files.
- RLS on Postgres comes from the v35 auto_rls_on_create_table event
  trigger (the same mechanism that covered v110 page_aliases and v115
  op_checkpoint_paths); the volunteer Postgres e2e pins it.
- No ::jsonb anywhere; no bootstrap probe needed (nothing references the
  table pre-creation; writers guard with try/catch).

Tests: v116 shape + columns + indexes + live insert/purge round-trip on
PGLite (test/migrate.test.ts, 161 pass); schema-bootstrap-coverage green.

* feat(context): multi-turn window extraction + confidence-scored volunteer core (#2095)

- entity-salience.ts: extractCandidatesFromWindow(turns) — runs the existing
  per-turn extractor across the last N turns (oldest→newest), merges by the
  normalizeAlias form with occurrence/newest-turn/user-mention metadata, and
  orders by salience (recency > frequency > user-role) so the MAX_CANDIDATES
  cap drops stale assistant chatter, not the entity the user just named.
  Closes the filed assistant-introduced-entities recall TODO; true pronoun
  coreference (never-named antecedents) stays out of scope.

- retrieval-reflex.ts: ReflexPointer gains source_id + arm + confidence +
  matchedNorm. ARM_CONFIDENCE (alias 0.9 / title 0.8 / slug-suffix 0.6)
  lives next to the arm definitions so identity and score can't drift.
  Arm-2 provenance is classified in JS (codex D8 — the combined OR can't
  report which predicate matched). Federated sourceIds[] scope (alias arm
  loops per source; arm 2 uses source_id = ANY — no engine-interface
  change). Suppression gains 'slug-only' mode (codex D7, REQUIRED for
  windowing): the legacy title-whole-word rule would suppress every entity
  merely MENTIONED in a prior window turn, breaking the feature by
  construction — slugs only enter context when a pointer/page was actually
  surfaced. Default stays 'slug-and-title' for the window=1 legacy path.

- volunteer.ts (new): parseWindow (lenient user:/assistant: prefixes, CRLF,
  unprefixed → one user turn), volunteerContext (zero-LLM: extract →
  resolve → +0.05 multi-turn/newest-turn boost → min_confidence 0.7 gate →
  cap 3/5; deterministic rationale strings, never raw conversation text),
  and volunteerUsageStats (per-arm/channel precision from the
  last_retrieved_at join, labeled approximate — 5-min throttle false
  negatives, unrelated-read false positives; codex D9).

Tests: 35 green across volunteer-context (window parsing, pronoun follow-up
via assistant-introduced entity, confidence gating, slug-only suppression,
takes-fence privacy, multi-source scope, caps, stats join math) +
retrieval-reflex back-compat + resolve-ipc.

* feat(ops): volunteer_context op — CLI (stdin) + MCP, drained event sink (#2095)

New read-scope op on the contract surface (CLI `gbrain volunteer-context`
with stdin → window, MCP tool for free): takes a rolling conversation
window, returns confidence-gated page pointers with rationales + synopses.
`window` is optional-unless-stats (validated in the handler, codex D9);
`stats: true` returns the volunteered-vs-used precision summary, labeled
APPROXIMATE (the 5-min last-retrieved throttle and unrelated reads both
bias the join). Source scope threads through sourceScopeOpts — federated
grants narrow the volunteer to the granted sources.

Event logging is fire-and-forget through a new `volunteer-events`
background-work sink (volunteer-events.ts, mirrors last-retrieved: tracked
dangling promise set + bounded drain + snapshot-drop on timeout so a
long-lived process never accumulates ghosts). ONE batched INSERT per call,
drained on every exit path by the commit-1 drain hoist; failure never
fails the op (pinned by an injected failing-engine test).

cli formatResult renders both shapes (pointer lines with confidence/arm/
rationale; the stats summary with per-arm precision).

Tests: op contract surface, window-required validation, sink round-trip
with session_id/turn attribution, failing-engine fail-open, federated
grant scoping, stats mode (26 green on PGLite) + a real-Postgres e2e
proving the op + sink + stats join AND that context_volunteer_events has
RLS enabled (keeps the auto-RLS event-trigger mechanism honest for v116).

* feat(context): reflex consumes the rolling window + ambient-channel logging (#2095)

The default-on retrieval reflex now extracts entities from the last N turns
(retrieval_reflex_window_turns, default 4; env
GBRAIN_RETRIEVAL_REFLEX_WINDOW_TURNS; window=1 reproduces the legacy
current-turn-only behavior exactly). assemble() passes the recent
user/assistant turns (hard cap 12); the reflex slices to the configured
window. Assistant-introduced entities and "what did she invest in?"
follow-ups whose antecedent was NAMED in the window now surface pointers —
the issue's "zero agent-initiated queries" success criterion on the
ambient path.

Under windowing, suppression switches to slug-only (codex D7): the legacy
title-whole-word rule would suppress every entity merely MENTIONED in a
prior window turn, breaking the feature by construction. Slugs only enter
prior context when a pointer/page was actually surfaced, so
already-surfaced pages still suppress. The suppression mode flows through
all three resolver rungs (host opts, serve IPC request, direct Postgres).

Ambient-channel feedback (codex D11): the server-side resolver paths
(serve IPC + direct Postgres) log volunteered pointers with
channel: 'reflex' through the drained volunteer-events sink, so
`gbrain volunteer-context --stats` measures the default-on path where most
volunteering happens. Host-injected resolvers (no gbrain engine) can't
log — documented gap. Precision gates, 1.5s ceiling, fail-open, and the
pointer cap are unchanged.

Tests: prev-assistant-turn entity fires; window=1 legacy parity; slug-only
vs already-surfaced suppression; throwing resolver stays fail-open
(16 green).

* feat(cli): gbrain watch — push transport over stdin (#2095)

The issue's headline: the brain volunteers pages as the conversation flows,
instead of waiting to be asked. `some-transcript-feed | gbrain watch` reads
turns line-by-line ('user:'/'assistant:' prefixes set the role; unprefixed
lines are user turns), keeps a rolling window (--window-turns, default 4),
and streams confidence-gated pointers with rationales to stdout (--json for
JSONL). Session dedupe rides the core's slug-only suppression — a slug is
volunteered at most once per session. Events log on channel 'watch' with
session_id + turn through the drained sink.

Lifecycle: watch BLOCKS in the stdin iteration (like `jobs work`) — an
interactive TTY stays alive until Ctrl-C/Ctrl-D, piped input ends at EOF —
so it is deliberately NOT in DAEMON_COMMANDS (reverts the commit-1
placeholder): when main() resolves the work is over, the CLI_ONLY finally
drains volunteer events via drainThenDisconnect, and the entrypoint
flush-exit ends the process. Keeping it in the daemon set would have made
the piped EOF path hang on lingering sockets — the exact #2084 class.
SIGINT closes the stream and flows through the same drain path instead of
killing mid-write. Per-turn resolution failures are fail-open (the stream
never dies on a transient DB error).

Full wiring (eng-review D12): CLI_ONLY + CLI_ONLY_SELF_HELP (WATCH_HELP) +
THIN_CLIENT_REFUSED_COMMANDS (thin clients use the volunteer_context MCP
op) + main --help entry.

Tests: 18 green — help, per-turn volunteering + clean EOF return, rolling
window via assistant-introduced entity, session dedupe, --json shape with
turn attribution, channel-watch event rows, --min-confidence gate, CRLF/
blank tolerance, daemon-gate semantics. Live smoke: piped `gbrain watch`
on a fresh PGLite brain exits 0 at EOF with no force-exit banner.

* docs: KEY_FILES + push-context guide + TODOS for the #2084/#2095 wave

- docs/architecture/KEY_FILES.md (current-state): context entries gain the
  window extractor, arm provenance/confidence, suppression modes, volunteer
  + volunteer-events modules; background-work entry now lists FIVE sinks and
  the drainThenDisconnect owner-disconnect contract; new entries for
  src/core/cli-force-exit.ts (the exit contract) and src/commands/watch.ts.
- docs/guides/push-context.md (new): the three channels (reflex/op/watch),
  the confidence model, CLI usage, config keys, and the approximate-stats
  caveat. Linked from CLAUDE.md's reference map.
- CLAUDE.md: ops line mentions volunteer_context + the guide link;
  bun run build:llms regenerated in the same commit (freshness test green).
- TODOS.md: #2095 deferrals filed (SSE push channel, policy skill + doctor
  check, structured messages[] param); the #1981 entity-detection TODO
  narrowed (window extraction covered assistant-introduced entities +
  named-antecedent follow-ups); the drain-hoist P3 marked DONE by the
  #2084 wave.

* test(e2e): truncate context_volunteer_events in setupDB (#2095)

The new feedback-log table wasn't in ALL_TABLES, so volunteered-event rows
persisted across e2e runs on a reused database and poisoned count/stats
assertions in volunteer-context-postgres on the second run. No FK to pages
(slug join), so position before pages is for hygiene only.

* fix(cli): own the exit verdict — never trust ambient process.exitCode (#2084)

Caught by the full unit suite: `gbrain apply-migrations` on PGLite started
exiting 99. Root cause: PGLite's Emscripten runtime writes the WASM
backend's proc_exit status into process.exitCode (initdb at create-time,
the postmaster at close-time — `exitCode=status` in pglite's dist), and
the writes land ASYNCHRONOUSLY, outside any snapshot/restore window around
create/close (a guarded attempt verified this). The pre-#2084 success path
never read process.exitCode, so the pollution was invisible; the new
deliberate flush-exit propagated it faithfully.

Fix: gbrain records its own verdict. setCliExitCode(n)/getCliExitCode() in
cli-force-exit.ts — every gbrain-owned exit-code assignment routes through
the setter (still mirrored to process.exitCode for outside readers), and
both exit paths (entrypoint flushStdoutThenExit + the drainThenDisconnect
hard-deadline backstop) read the getter. Swept all assignment sites:
cli.ts (op error, friction, claw-test, smoke-test, eval runners, status,
import errors) + reindex/transcripts/brainstorm/frontmatter/autopilot.

Also updates the v0.42.20 structural pins to the drainThenDisconnect shape
(ordering invariant asserted INSIDE the helper + >=8 helper call sites,
superseding the two-inline-pairs assertion).

Verified: apply-migrations spawn test green; `init --migrate-only` exits 0;
an errored op still exits 1.

* test: re-pin the teardown-arming invariant at its post-#2084 home

Master's v0.42.41.0 triage wave and the #2084 wave fixed the same
pre-armed-timer bug independently; the merge keeps #2084's shape (arming
inside the shared drainThenDisconnect helper, covering all 8 exit paths).
The structural pin now asserts the same invariant — no pre-try arming;
gated, unref'd, before-drain, cleared — at the helper.

* test: coverage for ambient reflex-channel logging + watch window/cap flags

Ship coverage audit (85%, gate PASS) named five gaps; the two substantive
cheap ones close here: the codex-D11 logChannel='reflex' path now has a
behavioral pin (events land on channel 'reflex' through the drained sink;
no logChannel → no events), and gbrain watch's --window-turns / --max-pages
flags are exercised (turn-1 attribution under window=1; cap to one page).
Remaining flagged-not-blocking: the wallclock-timeout branch (untestable
without >10s real-clock flake — same rationale as the arming pin),
formatResult's volunteer case (module-private), and the cycle purge wiring.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: close the remaining plan-audit gaps — formatResult rendering + watch SIGINT

formatResult exported for tests (same import-safety contract as cliAliases);
test/cli-format-volunteer.test.ts pins the pointer lines, empty-gate message,
and approximate stats summary. test/watch-command.test.ts gains a real
subprocess SIGINT test: piped stdin that never reaches EOF, SIGINT mid-stream,
assert exit 0 with no force-exit banner — the drain-then-exit lifecycle under
the actual signal, not just the shared exit path.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: doctor's FAIL verdict was zeroed by the owned exit — sweep stragglers + class pin

The merged-state suite caught it: doctor --fast --json reported FAIL but
exited 0. Master's v0.42.41.0 brought raw `process.exitCode =` writes
(doctor.ts hasFail ternary, extract.ts) that the #2084 verdict-owning exit
silently zeroes — getCliExitCode() deliberately never reads ambient
process.exitCode (the PGLite-Emscripten pollution defense), so any setter
that bypasses setCliExitCode reports success on failure.

Swept both sites and added the structural class pin: a test greps src/ for
raw `process.exitCode =` outside cli-force-exit.ts, so the next merge that
introduces one fails loudly instead of lying about exit codes.

* test: quarantine the watch SIGINT subprocess test to the serial lane

The parallel unit shards flake on concurrent CLI subprocess spawns (failed
at 7ms in-suite, green solo) — same isolation rationale as
apply-migrations-pglite-spawn.serial.test.ts and #2141's R3 quarantine.

* docs: update project documentation for v0.42.43.0

Post-ship doc verification against the release diff (#2095 push-based
context + #2084 superset hardening), with a cross-model doc review:

- push-context.md: version tag corrected to v0.42.43.0; per-call knobs
  now cover prior_context/days and watch's flag surface accurately;
  feedback-log writes described as best-effort; synopsis fence-strip
  described as unconditional.
- CLAUDE.md: stale operation count (~47 -> ~90); volunteer_context
  release reference corrected to v0.42.43.0.
- KEY_FILES.md: ci-local entry rewritten to current topology (4-shard
  parallel default, four Postgres services, transaction-mode PgBouncer
  + GBRAIN_PGBOUNCER_URL/_DIRECT_URL exports); stale E2E file counts
  dropped from the selector entry.
- TESTING.md: inventory entries for the new #2084 structural pins
  (cli-exit-verdict-pin, cli-pipe-truncation), the push-context test
  suite (volunteer-context, watch-command, watch-sigint.serial,
  cli-format-volunteer), migrate v117 coverage, and the two new E2E
  files (pgbouncer-teardown env gating, volunteer-context-postgres RLS
  pin); check:all row corrected (not a superset of verify).
- AGENTS.md + RELEASING.md: ci:local descriptions updated to the
  sharded + pooler topology.
- CHANGELOG (wording only, entry preserved): "retrieved" instead of
  "opened" for the used-signal, pooler scoped to the local CI gate,
  feedback log labeled best-effort.
- llms-config.ts: index the new push-context guide; bundles
  regenerated (build:llms) and freshness test green.

* docs(test): correct the v116 reference — the table shipped as migration v117

* fix: pre-landing review hardening — federated alias parallelism, trust-boundary clamps, shared protocol helpers (#2095)

Five specialist reviewers (testing/maintainability/security/performance/
data-migration) on the reconciled diff; every finding applied:

Performance: the alias arm now resolves all granted sources CONCURRENTLY
(a federated caller paid M sequential RTTs per turn — ~355ms at 5 sources
cross-region, inside the reflex's 1.5s budget); watch's session dedupe is
O(1) Set membership instead of a monotonically growing priorContext string
(O(T²) over a long-lived session); getWindowTurns iterates from the tail
(per-turn cost no longer grows with session length); the resolver's
provenance maps fold into the existing candidate pass.

Security: volunteer_context clamps caller-supplied attribution at the trust
boundary — session_id capped at 256 chars (a read-scoped token could bank
~1MiB TEXT per request, retained 90 days), turn logged only when a safe
integer (a non-integer threw inside the batched INSERT and silently dropped
the whole batch). The privacy comments now state precisely what rationale
may contain (the matched entity's surface form — which by construction
resolved to an existing alias/title/slug — never free conversation text).

Maintainability: TURN_PREFIX_RE + formatVolunteeredPage exported from
volunteer.ts and shared by watch/cli (the two surfaces can no longer
drift); volunteerEventRowsFrom is the single VolunteerEventRow assembly
site for all three channels; watch's window default now honors the same
retrieval_reflex_window_turns config knob the reflex reads; the stale
pre-v116 comments swept to pre-v117.

Testing: the two flake-class CRITICALs fixed (pipe test asserts the
backstop banner instead of a cold-CI-hostile 9s wall bound; the SIGINT test
waits on watch's new machine-readable ready line instead of a fixed 15s
sleep — 2.5s and deterministic now); new coverage for the sink's timeout
branch + ghost-reference drop, watch per-turn fail-open, untrusted knob
clamps (min_confidence/max_pages/days), window-cap ordering (newest user
mention survives), serve-IPC suppression passthrough + channel=reflex
logging, windowTurnCount edge semantics, and structural pins for the sink
registration + cycle purge wiring. The exit-verdict pin's grep is now
operator/whitespace-tolerant.

Deferred with TODOs: resolver index shapes for the per-turn query;
batched first-prune after a long dream-cycle gap.

* fix(context): red-team hardening — pre-cap dedupe, delivery-side reflex logging, window clamp

Four red-team findings on the #2095 push-context surface:

- RT1 starvation: watch's session-dedupe Set filtered AFTER volunteerContext's
  cap, so a recurring already-pushed entity burned cap slots every turn and
  starved fresh pages behind it. VolunteerOpts.excludeSlugs now skips inside
  the pointer loop BEFORE the confidence gate and the cap.
- RT3 honest stats: reflex-channel event logging moved from inside the
  resolver to the DELIVERY point — serve's resolve-IPC onDelivered hook fires
  only after the response write succeeds, and buildReflexAddition logs only
  after the per-turn timeout admits the block. A block the client's 250ms
  budget abandoned was never injected and no longer counts as volunteered.
  (logChannel resolver opt removed; logDeliveredReflexPointers is the seam.)
- RT5 unbounded window: --window-turns is clamped to [1, 64] so a config typo
  can't reintroduce the re-scan-everything-per-turn cost class.
- RT2/RT4 documented + filed: PGLite watch connection monopoly (WATCH_HELP,
  push-context guide, TODO to route watch via serve IPC); host-resolver
  suppression contract at ResolveEntitiesFn (TODO for a capability gate).

Tests: starvation guard (watch + volunteerContext unit), window clamp floor +
ceiling, delivery-side logging (helper writes channel=reflex through the
drained sink; bare resolver writes nothing; empty list no-op), IPC wiring test
rewired to onDelivered. KEY_FILES.md + push-context.md updated; build:llms run.

* fix(context): env-plane window knob works config-less; harden two gateway-state-leak victims

Three CI-only check failures, two root causes:

1. windowTurnCount ignored GBRAIN_RETRIEVAL_REFLEX_WINDOW_TURNS when
   loadConfig() returned null (no config file AND no DATABASE_URL — a clean
   CI shard with no brain). loadConfig drops its env→config mapping in that
   case, so the documented escape hatch silently died and the window fell
   back to 4 → windowed extraction widened when the test set window=1 →
   prior-turn entity leaked. Fixed: read the env var directly in
   windowTurnCount, mirroring reflexEnabled's direct process.env read. This
   is a real product bug, not just a test artifact — any config-less host
   using the env hatch was affected. Regression test pins it.

2. sync-cost-preview + doctor-federation-health failed only IN-SHARD: a
   sibling test configured a non-legacy (ZeroEntropy 1280-d / $0.05) gateway
   and never reset it. The legacy-embedding preload only restores the
   OpenAI/1536 default when the gateway slot is EMPTY, so a non-empty foreign
   config survives into the next file — and a file's beforeAll runs BEFORE
   the preload's restoring beforeEach, so federation-health built a
   vector(1280) column and its 1536-d fixture hit CheckExpectedDim. My new
   test files reshuffled the deterministic file→shard assignment, exposing
   this latent ordering bug. Hardened both victims to establish the gateway
   state they assert (sync-cost-preview resets to the unconfigured fallback;
   federation-health pins legacy 1536 before initSchema) so they're
   order-independent. Verified against a simulated leaker run before them.

* test(context): use withEnv() in the window env-hatch test (test-isolation guard)

The regression test added in 82cc7fff mutated process.env directly, which
check:test-isolation (R1) forbids — use the withEnv() helper that restores on
exit, same as the rest of this file. Behavior identical; guard green.

Garry TanandClaude Opus 4.8 d4211f4176 v0.42.11.0 feat(skillopt): held-out eval gate, honest receipts, ENFORCE + ablation opts (#1759)
* feat(skillopt): wire held-out gate, honest receipts, ENFORCE + ablation opts

Wire the F11 held-out gate into the orchestrator at checkpoint acceptance
(runHeldOutGate was dead code); parse + thread --held-out through CLI, batch,
fleet, background job, and the run_skillopt MCP op. Populate the real
receipt.baseline_sel_score (was hardcoded 0) and add a final-test eval
(test_score + baseline_test_score) via a shared scoreSkillOnTasks primitive.
Fix the --no-mutate proposed.md write (was a stub) and enforce maxRuntimeMin.

D16 ENFORCE in core mutation policy (assertBundledMutationHeldOut): mutating a
bundled skill in place requires a non-empty (>=5), benchmark-disjoint held-out
set or hard-refuses. Add three eval-internal ablation opts (reflectMode,
disableValidationGate, optimizerMode='one-shot-rewrite') recorded in the
receipt + audit; ROLLOUT_SUCCESS_THRESHOLD named constant.

Security: run_skillopt MCP op validates skill_name (kebab-only) and confines
caller-supplied benchmark/held-out paths to the skills dir for remote callers.

* test(skillopt): held-out gate, ENFORCE, one-shot rewrite, runtime + receipt honesty

New test/skillopt/rollout.test.ts (rollout had zero coverage). Held-out ENFORCE
unit cases + one-shot-rewrite fence handling (whole-response unwrap, embedded-fence
preserved, error path). E2E: F11 held-out BLOCKS/ALLOWS, bundled no-mutate write,
reflectMode/disableValidationGate/optimizerMode, maxRuntimeMin abort, receipt
baseline/test-score honesty, held-out/benchmark disjointness, D2 no-DB-pollution.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.42.9.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: document skillopt held-out gate + bundled mutation requirement for v0.42.9.0

Wire --held-out into the skill-optimizer SKILL.md, guide flags/safety tables, and
the tutorial's bundled-skill step: mutating a bundled skill in place now requires
--allow-mutate-bundled AND --held-out (>=5 benchmark-disjoint tasks) or it
hard-refuses. Add the --held-out flag row + F11 held-out gate to the guide; update
the receipt contract to the honest baseline/test-score fields.

* fix(gateway): AI SDK v6 toolLoop compat — multi-turn tool calls work again

The ai@6.x bump tightened ModelMessage + tool-schema validation, which
silently broke every multi-turn tool loop. Both `gbrain skillopt` rollouts
and production background `subagent` jobs route through `chat()`/`toolLoop`
and crashed the moment the model called a tool ("messages do not match the
ModelMessage[] schema" / "schema is not a function"). Surfaced end-to-end
by the SkillOpt real-LLM eval.

Three fixes:
- chat(): wrap tool defs with the SDK's `jsonSchema()` helper instead of a
  bare `{jsonSchema}` object (v6 asSchema() treated the bare object as a
  thunk and threw).
- chat(): new exported pure `toModelMessages()` converts gbrain's
  provider-neutral ChatMessage[] into v6 ModelMessage[] — tool results ride
  a dedicated `role:'tool'` message with structured `{type,value}` output;
  null output preserved as json null. Load-bearing for the production
  subagent path, not just skillopt.
- rollout.ts: replace the inline params→schema mapper (dropped `items` on
  array params) with the shared `paramDefToSchema` single source of truth.

Pinned by test/gateway-model-messages.test.ts (8 cases). Folds into the
open v0.42.9.0 PR (#1759) — these complete the eval-readiness wave by
making skillopt actually run against a live model.

* fix(skillopt): budget no-pricing for Haiku silently scored every rollout 0

Surfaced by the SkillOpt real-LLM eval (Track B). Two coupled bugs that made
a budget-capped Haiku run report a vacuous "0/N" measurement in ~2ms with
zero LLM calls — indistinguishable from a real deficient-skill score:

1. Claude Haiku 4.5's canonical dateless id (`claude-haiku-4-5`) was missing
   from anthropic-pricing.ts (only the dated `-20251001` was present). With
   `--max-cost` set, BudgetTracker.reserve() threw no_pricing on the FIRST
   chat() of every rollout. Added the dateless entry (sonnet already had its
   dateless form).
2. runValidationGate swallowed that BUDGET_EXHAUSTED error — runWithLimit
   settled it as {ok:false}, which the gate turned into median:0. A pricing/cap
   crash became a fake score. The gate now scans settled results for
   isMustAbortError() and re-throws so the caller aborts loudly; ordinary
   (non-abort) rollout errors still fail-open to 0 (judge-hiccup posture kept).

Pinned by test/skillopt/validate-gate-abort.test.ts (3 cases). Folds into the
open v0.42.9.0 PR (#1759).

* fix(ci): llms-full.txt over size budget — drop what-schemas-unlock from full bundle

The toolLoop + budget bug-fix annotations grew CLAUDE.md, pushing llms-full.txt
to 756KB over the 750KB FULL_SIZE_BUDGET (the `build-llms > size budget` test
failed, failing the `test` CI job). CLAUDE.md stays inlined by design (it's the
point of the one-fetch bundle), so per the budget comment's own guidance ("ship
with includeInFull=false exclusions") this excludes docs/what-schemas-unlock.md
(15.4KB value-explainer, not load-bearing operational reference) from
llms-full.txt; it stays linked in llms.txt. Bundle now 740KB with ~9KB headroom.
No budget bump — 750KB is near the ~190k-token-context fit ceiling.

* chore(ci): re-admit policy docs into ci-cache-hash before doc relocation

docs/**/*.md is deny-listed from the CI cache hash (test-irrelevant). The
CLAUDE.md restructure moves test/release POLICY into docs/TESTING.md +
docs/RELEASING.md, which DO carry contracts the test suite reads. Without
re-admitting them, a policy-only edit would produce the same cache hash and
skip the test shard that runs the build-llms + doc-history guards (false-pass).

Adds an ALLOW_PATTERNS re-admit step after the deny, scoped to the named
policy docs (not a blanket docs un-deny). Lands FIRST, before any doc moves.

Pinned by 3 new cases in test/scripts/ci-cache-hash.test.ts: TESTING.md +
RELEASING.md edits MUST change the hash; docs/guide.md still must not.

* refactor(docs): relocate Key files / thin-client / Testing out of CLAUDE.md (verbatim)

CLAUDE.md had grown to 592KB / ~147k tokens auto-loaded every session (~77% of
the llms-full.txt single-fetch bundle). The per-file index was append-only by
mandate. This is the exact thin-dispatcher-vs-fat-blob anti-pattern gbrain exists
to fix, so CLAUDE.md becomes a thin orientation + resolver that points at
on-demand docs.

This commit is the VERBATIM move (content-preserving — the next commit compresses):
- docs/architecture/KEY_FILES.md   <- ## Key files + the calibration key-files
  cluster + Schema Cathedral v3 impl detail
- docs/architecture/thin-client.md <- ## Thin-client routing
- docs/TESTING.md                   <- ## Testing

CLAUDE.md gains: a Reference map (resolver), a Maintaining section (the
anti-disease rule), and a Cross-cutting invariants subsection under Architecture
so the must-never-violate rules (trust fail-closed, sourceScopeOpts isolation,
JSONB trap, engine parity, contract-first, migrations, multi-source) still
auto-load after the index moved out.

Result: CLAUDE.md 592KB -> 61KB; llms-full.txt 740KB -> 210KB (new docs link-only
until compressed). build-llms drift + budget test green; verify 29/29 green.

* refactor(docs): compress relocated docs to current-state + add recurrence guard

Compresses the verbatim-relocated reference docs from append-only release-history
to current-state-only (the disease cure), then makes recurrence structurally
impossible via a CI guard.

Compression (fan-out subagents + adversarial verify, audited mechanically):
- KEY_FILES.md 453KB -> 356KB; TESTING.md 42KB -> 38KB; thin-client.md already clean.
- 393/393 entries preserved; every src/test/scripts path from the verbatim original
  survives (mechanical comm-check); zero bolded **v0. markers remain.
- Conservative ratio (~22%) because the content is invariant-dense — correctness
  over brevity. Dropped: **vX.Y.Z (#NNN):** clauses, codex/review tags, contributor
  credits, PR-numbers-as-ids, pre-fix/then/was-now history deltas. Kept: every
  exported symbol, invariant, and Pinned-by reference. Verbatim original recoverable
  at git show <relocation-commit>:docs/architecture/KEY_FILES.md.

Recurrence guard (scripts/check-key-files-current-state.sh, wired into verify + check:all):
- HARD: bans the bolded **v0.<digit> marker in the reference docs (scoped — plain
  'as of pgvector 0.7' prose is fine, no false positives).
- HARD: CLAUDE.md size cap (90KB; currently 61KB) — the structural backstop.
- Pinned by test/scripts/check-key-files-current-state.test.ts (7 cases).

Content contracts (test/build-llms.test.ts, +5 cases per codex outside-voice):
CLAUDE.md keeps inline ship IRON RULES (version format, document-release,
never-hand-roll); AGENTS.md keeps its boot order; llms indexes the new docs;
KEY_FILES stays link-only (not inlined).

Privacy: scrubbed the relocated 'wintermute/chat/' source-boost examples + the
literal harvest-lint regex to generic placeholders (legitimate in allowlisted
CLAUDE.md; genericized for the new public docs per the privacy rule).

Reverts the 284c50a4 band-aid: re-inlines docs/what-schemas-unlock.md now that the
restructure freed ~530KB of bundle headroom (llms-full.txt 740KB -> 225KB).

verify 30/30 green (incl. new check:doc-history).

* refactor(docs): relocate verbose release process to docs/RELEASING.md

The highest-/ship-risk commit (isolated so it can revert alone). Moves the verbose
release + contributor procedure out of CLAUDE.md, keeping every ship-critical IRON
RULE inline so /ship + /document-release (which read CLAUDE.md) cannot regress.

Moved to docs/RELEASING.md: pre-ship test requirements; the CHANGELOG-branch-scoped
+ CHANGELOG voice + release-summary template; the 'To take advantage of vX' block
spec; version migrations + migration-is-canonical; schema state tracking; GitHub
Actions SHA maintenance; PR-descriptions-cover-the-branch; community-PR-wave;
checking-out-PRs-from-garrytan-agents.

Kept INLINE in CLAUDE.md (ship-critical IRON RULES — do NOT move):
- the Version-locations table (5-file sync) + the 3-line consistency audit
- Conductor branch=workspace
- Post-ship /document-release (MANDATORY)
- Privacy + Responsible-disclosure rules (Privacy also anchors the check-privacy
  allowlist — the only place allowed to name the fork)
- PR-title-version-first
- never-hand-roll-ship (Skill routing)
Plus a new ## Releasing pointer ('Before any ship, read docs/RELEASING.md in full')
and a resolver row.

CLAUDE.md 61KB -> 39KB (592KB -> 39KB overall, 93% cut; ~9k tokens auto-loaded vs
~147k). CLAUDE.md size-gate tightened 90KB -> 60KB. The content-contract tests pin
that the inline IRON RULES (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.MICRO, document-release, hand-roll
ship) did NOT move out. The moved ranges carry no banned fork name, so RELEASING.md
needs no privacy allowlist entry. verify 30/30; bundle 225KB -> 204KB.

* docs(changelog): note CLAUDE.md restructure in v0.42.9.0

The CLAUDE.md thin-resolver restructure (592KB → 39KB) rides in this
release; record it under the existing v0.42.9.0 For-contributors section.
No version bump — v0.42.9.0 is unreleased and already allocated to this PR.

* fix(ci): ci-cache-hash re-admit matched a literal \t, a no-op on GNU grep

The policy-doc re-admit (75992b77) put `\t` inline in the ALLOW patterns
passed to `grep -E`. BSD grep (macOS local) treats `\t` as a tab so it
worked locally; GNU grep (Ubuntu CI) treats it as literal `t`, so nothing
re-admitted and docs/TESTING.md / docs/RELEASING.md stayed deny-listed —
the two policy-doc tests failed on CI shard 6 (1097 pass / 2 fail).

Build ALLOW_RE with `printf '\t(%s)'` so the tab is a real byte, identical
in construction to DENY_RE (line 117), which the CI log shows matches
correctly on GNU grep. End-to-end: editing docs/TESTING.md now flips the
hash; a normal docs/*.md add still does not (deny stays scoped).

* fix(skillopt): feed the scorer's success criteria to the optimizer

Surfaced by the SkillOpt real-LLM eval (Track B). The reflect step was shown
only a pass/fail score and the agent transcript — never WHAT the benchmark
judge rewards. On a skill judged by structure (e.g. "must include a
Confidence: line") the optimizer proposed plausible-but-off edits ("close with
a synthesis") that never satisfied the literal check; every candidate scored 0
on D_sel, the validation gate rejected them all, and the skill text never
changed (optimized === baseline === 0).

Fix: render each benchmark Judge (rule checks / llm rubric / qrels) into
plain-English criteria via new exported describeJudge / describeJudges, and
thread them into the reflect prompt (a SUCCESS CRITERIA block) for both the
loop reflect calls and the one-shot-rewrite path. The orchestrator computes the
distinct criteria across train+sel+test once. The optimizer system prompt now
instructs it to satisfy the criteria through genuine content, never empty
keywords — reward-hacking stays defended by the independent held-out gate
(cat32 confirms the gate catches a keyword-stuffing hack).

End-to-end this took a deficient skill from 0.00 to 1.00 on a held-out set it
never trained on. Pinned by test/skillopt/reflect.test.ts (describeJudge per
kind, describeJudges dedup, criteria present/absent in the prompt). Folds into
the open v0.42.9.0 PR (#1759).

f09f9177a9 v0.42.10.0 feat(extract): opt-in global-basename wikilink resolution (closes #972) (#1388)
* v0.40.8.2 fix(extract): opt-in global-basename wikilink resolution (#972)

Bare wikilinks like [[struktura]] that point at pages in another folder
were silently dropped from the graph. The issue reporter saw 71 wikilinks
in Obsidian render to 12 in gbrain (~83% lost). Symptoms downstream:
`gbrain graph` returns thin neighborhoods, `gbrain backlinks` undercounts.

This release adds an opt-in mode that resolves bare wikilinks by basename
match, covers all three resolver surfaces (FS-source extract, DB-source
extract, put_page auto-link), and emits one edge per match — no silent
winner on ambiguity. `gbrain doctor` surfaces a paste-ready enable hint
when ≥5 bare wikilinks would resolve under the new mode.

Enable with:
  gbrain config set link_resolution.global_basename true
  gbrain extract links

Default stays off. Existing brains see zero behavior change on upgrade.

Closes #972. Adapts PR #1233 from @rayers (regex shape + slug-tail index)
into a multi-match, opt-in form with FS-source coverage that the original
PR explicitly skipped.

* docs: document opt-in global-basename wikilink resolution (#972)

The #972 feature shipped with no user-facing docs — only CHANGELOG + CLAUDE.md.
Anyone migrating an Obsidian/Notion vault with bare [[name]] wikilinks couldn't
discover the link_resolution.global_basename flag unless gbrain doctor happened
to surface its hint.

- README "Self-wiring knowledge graph": one sentence on the opt-in mode for
  Obsidian-style cross-folder bare wikilinks + the doctor pre-check, linking to
  the install step.
- INSTALL_FOR_AGENTS Step 4.5 (Wire the Knowledge Graph): a dedicated agent-
  facing subsection — when bare [[name]] links need it, the enable command,
  re-running extract, the doctor opportunity hint, and the multi-match behavior.
- Regenerated llms-full.txt.

* fix(#972): resolve aliased wikilinks by target slug, not display text

Codex outside-voice [P1]: `[[struktura|the project]]` resolved the basename
"the project" (the alias) instead of `struktura` (the target), because
extractPageLinks called resolveBasenameMatches(ref.name) and the doctor check
keyed basenameIndex.get(e.name). ref.name is the display alias (match[2]);
ref.slug is the wikilink target (match[1]).

- extractPageLinks resolves ref.slug; context excerpt locates ref.slug.
- doctor link_resolution_opportunity keys e.slug so its estimate matches
  what extraction actually resolves.
- Test: aliased wikilink calls resolveBasenameMatches with the target, never
  the display text.

* fix(#972): reconcile wikilink-resolved edges in put_page auto-link

Codex outside-voice [P1]: put_page's reconcilableOut filter excluded
link_source='wikilink-resolved', so a basename edge written by auto-link
survived after the bare wikilink was deleted from the page OR the
link_resolution.global_basename flag was turned off (the stale-removal loop
only iterates reconcilableOut). Add 'wikilink-resolved' to the reconcilable
set; manual edges still untouched.

Test: write page with [[struktura]] (flag on) → edge lands; re-put without
the wikilink → edge reconciled away.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(#972): source-scope basename resolution (no cross-source edges)

Codex outside-voice [P1]: makeResolver.resolveBasenameMatches called
engine.getAllSlugs() unscoped, so a bare [[name]] could resolve to a
same-tail page in a DIFFERENT source and create a cross-source edge. The
engine exposes getAllSlugs({sourceId}) precisely to prevent this. #972 is
"global basename across folders," not "cross-source federation" — the
canonical gbrain multi-source bug class.

- makeResolver gains opts.sourceId; ensureBasenameIndex passes it to
  getAllSlugs (unscoped only when sourceId omitted — back-compat).
- runAutoLink (put_page) passes opts.sourceId; extractLinksFromDB passes
  sourceIdFilter. FS extract is already single-source (walks one dir).
- Tests: scoped index returns only the source's slugs (no cross-source);
  unscoped call stays brain-wide.

* fix(#972): FS-source basename edges carry link_source='wikilink-resolved'

The FS extract path is the issue's default repro (gbrain extract links with no
--source db). ExtractedLink had no link_source field, so FS basename edges
landed with the engine default ('markdown') instead of the 'wikilink-resolved'
provenance the DB / put_page paths set and the docs promise. The e2e FS test
only asserted link_type, so it was blind to this.

- ExtractedLink gains link_source?; extractLinksFromFile sets it to
  'wikilink-resolved' on basename edges (undefined for ordinary markdown).
- Carries through the addLinksBatch snapshots automatically (LinkBatchInput
  already has link_source); single-row addLink fallback now passes it too.
- e2e FS repro asserts link_source === 'wikilink-resolved'.

* refactor(#972): one shared basename matcher across resolver/FS/doctor

Codex outside-voice [P2] DRY: three surfaces each hand-rolled a basename
matcher with divergent key sets — the doctor omitted the slugified key, so its
link_resolution_opportunity estimate undercounted what extraction resolves, and
the resolver returned matches in unsorted getAllSlugs bucket order.

New shared exports in link-extraction.ts: buildBasenameIndex(slugs) +
queryBasenameIndex(index, name) (keys raw/lower/slugified tail; stable sort
shorter-first then lexical) + normalizeBasename.

- makeResolver.resolveBasenameMatches → queryBasenameIndex (now stable-sorted).
- extract.ts resolveBasenameMatchesFromSlugs → delegates to the shared pair.
- doctor link_resolution_opportunity → shared builder/query (slugified key
  added; estimate now matches extraction).
- Test: doctor counts a slugified-only match ([[Fast Weigh]] → companies/fast-weigh).

* fix(#972): P2 cluster — masking, code-fence, self-link, dedup decision

Codex outside-voice P2 findings:
- P2a markdown-label masking: a wikilink inside a markdown-link label
  ([see [[acme]]](companies/acme.md)) spawned a stray generic basename ref.
  Pass-1 can't match the nested brackets, so a new MARKDOWN_LABEL_WIKILINK_RE
  masks those spans out of pass 2c. Inner [[acme]] is now inert.
- P2b FS code-fence: the FS path (extractMarkdownLinks on raw content) didn't
  strip code blocks like the DB path. extractLinksFromFile now scans
  stripCodeBlocks(content) so [[name]] inside a fence creates no FS edge.
- P2c self-link guard: a basename [[own-tail]] on its own page resolved back
  to itself. Dropped in both extractPageLinks and the FS path.
- P2d dedup: documented the decision to KEEP qualified + bare edges to the
  same target as separate rows (distinct provenance/audit trail).
- P2e: skipFrontmatter unresolved-contract tests added.

Tests: P2a inert-label, P2c self-link drop, P2b code-fence, P2e unresolved.

* perf(#972): bound the doctor link_resolution_opportunity scan

The check did listAllPageRefs() + a getPage() per page under a 60s budget.
On a large brain (the eng-review concern) it hit the budget every non-fast
doctor run and returned a perpetual partial, adding ~60s.

Now batch-loads the 1000 most-recent pages in ONE query
(ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT SAMPLE_LIMIT) and scans in memory, with the 60s cap
kept as a backstop. Mirrors the v0.40.9 sampling convention. The estimate
message names the bound when the brain exceeds the sample
("scanned the 1000 most-recent of N pages").

Test: source-grep pins the bounded query + the absence of the per-page
getPage walk.

* docs(#972): reconcile stale version/migration references to v112 / 0.42.6.0

Merge churn left intermediate refs: schema.sql + schema-embedded.ts said
"migration v93", CLAUDE.md said "v0.41.32.0 / Migration v109", CHANGELOG said
"Migration v93". Reconciled all to migration v112 / shipping 0.42.6.0. The
CLAUDE.md annotation is also refreshed to describe the final behavior (shared
matcher, source-scoping, alias-by-target, stale-edge reconciliation, bounded
doctor scan) and credit @rayers + @ukd1. Regenerated schema-embedded + llms.

* fix(#972): register doctor check category + bump llms budget to 800KB

Two full-suite gate failures from the re-sync:
- doctor-categories drift guard: the new `link_resolution_opportunity` check
  wasn't in any category set. Added to BRAIN_CHECK_NAMES (alongside
  graph_coverage / orphan_ratio — it's a graph-quality signal).
- build-llms size budget: the #972 Key Files annotation (landing with master's
  #1696/#1699 waves) pushed llms-full.txt past 750KB. Bumped FULL_SIZE_BUDGET
  750KB→800KB, the established "budget tracks CLAUDE.md's legitimate per-feature
  growth" pattern (600→700→750→800 across releases).

* feat(engine): listEnrichCandidates source-aware candidate selection (#1700)

One SQL query per engine: thin-filter + per-page source-correct inbound-link
count (to_page_id = p.id, mentions excluded) + enriched_at recency guard +
whitelisted ORDER BY (ENRICH_ORDER_SQL) + LIMIT, returning a lightweight
projection (no page bodies). EnrichCandidate/EnrichCandidatesOpts types.
pg + pglite parity, pinned by engine-parity.test.ts.

* feat(enrich): gbrain enrich --thin brain-internal grounded synthesis (#1700)

Develops stub pages at scale by consolidating scattered brain knowledge (search
+ backlinks + facts + raw_data) into one grounded gateway.chat call per page.
Resumable (op-checkpoint), budget-capped (best-effort under --workers), per-page
advisory lock, put_page write-through. CLI + thin-client refuse + Minion handler.

Includes codex-review fixes: sanitizeContext neutralizes the <context> envelope
delimiters (P1 injection escape); background fan-out idempotency key carries the
run fingerprint (P1); post-hoc budget-overage flag via new BudgetTracker.cap
getter (P1); checkpoint flush on budget exhaustion (P2). Accepts the documented
best-effort in-flight-cancel limitation (D5) with an explicit code note.

* feat(cycle): enrich_thin opt-in autopilot phase (#1700)

Default-OFF trickle around runEnrichCore: develops a few thin pages per source
per tick so the brain compounds over time. Per-source cap enforced as
min(per-source, brain-wide remaining) with brain-wide total + walltime caps
(P2 fix: per-source max_cost_usd was parsed but never enforced). Wired into
CyclePhase / ALL_PHASES / PHASE_SCOPE / NEEDS_LOCK + dispatch.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.42.6.0)

gbrain enrich --thin batch enrichment (#1700) + codex-review fixes.

Garry TanandClaude Opus 4.8 7b0d99adb0 v0.42.2.0 feat: gbrain connect — one-command Claude Code onboarding from a bearer token (#1683)
* fix: gbrain auth create dropped the name on the bare (no-flag) form

Extract parseAuthCreateArgs; only exclude the --takes-holders value from the
positional search when the flag is present (rest[takesIdx+1] resolved to rest[0]
when takesIdx === -1, silently dropping the name). Add regression test.

* feat: gbrain connect — one-command Claude Code onboarding from a bearer token

New connect command prints a paste-ready claude-mcp-add block (or --install wires
it + smoke-tests the token via a raw-bearer get_brain_identity probe). Direct HTTP
MCP, literal-token default, URL normalization, token header-injection guard,
--json redaction, execFileSync (no shell). Wired into CLI_ONLY + CLI_ONLY_SELF_HELP
+ handleCliOnly. 58 unit + 3 PGLite-E2E cases; e2e-test-map updated.

* docs: lead CLAUDE_CODE.md with gbrain connect (remote fast path) + README one-liner

Regenerate llms-full.txt for the README change.

* refactor: pre-landing review fixes for gbrain connect

- DRY: single DEFAULT_PROBE_TIMEOUT_MS + shared isAuthErrorMessage predicate
- reuse promptLine (shared stdin lifecycle) for the --install confirm
- harden redactToken with a Bearer <value> scrub (defense in depth)
- +8 tests: orchestrator guard paths, deterministic timeout, invalid --timeout-ms,
  Bearer-redaction

* fix: adversarial-review hardening for gbrain connect

- probe: Promise.race the call against a real timer so a stalled connect()/SSE
  handshake (signal alone doesn't cover it) can't hang --install indefinitely
- probe: close transport even if client.connect() throws
- parseArgs: reject a missing/flag-shaped value (e.g. --token --install)
- block link-local / cloud-metadata hosts (169.254/fe80:/fd00:ec2::254) — keeps
  localhost + RFC1918 LAN brains working
- non-interactive --install now requires --yes
- clearer message when --force removed then add failed
+8 tests covering each

* fix: codex-review P2s for gbrain connect

- POSIX single-quote the rendered claude-mcp-add command so a token with shell
  metacharacters ($(), backticks) can't trigger command substitution on paste
- detect IPv4-mapped IPv6 metadata addresses (::ffff:169.254.x.x / ::ffff:a9fe:*)
  so they don't bypass the link-local guard
+3 tests

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.42.2.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: gbrain connect — add codex and perplexity agents

--agent codex emits 'codex mcp add ... --bearer-token-env-var GBRAIN_REMOTE_TOKEN'
(token read from the env var at runtime, never in Codex config; --install runs it).
--agent perplexity prints the URL + token for the Settings → Connectors GUI (no
--install). Generalized the command file: AGENT_SPECS table, buildCodexMcpAddArgv,
cmdString(binary,argv), binary-generic ConnectDeps (hasBinary/runBinary/env),
agent-aware buildConnectBlock/buildJson. +25 tests.

* docs: codex + perplexity connect paths (new CODEX.md, README, CHANGELOG, CLAUDE.md)

Regenerate llms-full.txt for the CLAUDE.md/README edits.

* test: real-CLI E2E for connect — drive actual claude + codex against a live server

Adds claude-code + codex cases to connect-bearer.test.ts that run the real
'claude mcp add' / 'codex mcp add' through 'gbrain connect --install' against a
live 'gbrain serve --http' (sandboxed HOME/CODEX_HOME), then assert via
'claude mcp get' / 'codex mcp get' that the server registered (and codex's token
stays out of config). Skips when the binary is absent. Perplexity is GUI-only so
it's print-asserted. Regen llms for the CLAUDE.md note.

* docs: perplexity OAuth + serve --bind/--public-url footgun (per Perplexity feedback)

PERPLEXITY.md now documents the host-side HTTP setup (gbrain serve --http
--bind 0.0.0.0 --public-url, the v0.34 ECONNREFUSED footgun) and the OAuth 2.1
client_credentials path (gbrain auth register-client) alongside the legacy
bearer token. The 'connect --agent perplexity' output points at the same
bind/public-url requirement + PERPLEXITY.md.

* feat: gbrain connect --oauth — client-credentials path for perplexity/generic

OAuth is the correct path for a third-party cloud connector (Perplexity): instead
of a long-lived full-access bearer token, the connector gets Issuer URL + Client
ID + Client Secret and mints short-lived scoped tokens. --oauth --register mints a
least-privilege client on the host (shells gbrain auth register-client); --oauth
--client-id/--client-secret uses an existing one. Rejected for claude-code/codex
(bearer) and with --install. Issuer derived from the mcp-url. New E2E proves the
full chain: register → connect --oauth → OAuth discovery → /token client_credentials
mint → get_brain_identity tool call against a live server. Docs: PERPLEXITY.md leads
with OAuth; README + CLAUDE.md updated; +18 unit cases.

* docs: add gbrain connect to INSTALL.md MCP section + link CODEX.md

The remote-client onboarding command was documented in README/CLAUDE_CODE/CODEX/
PERPLEXITY but missing from INSTALL.md §3 (the natural 'how do I connect a client'
home). Add the one-command connect how-to (claude-code/codex/perplexity) and the
missing docs/mcp/CODEX.md link.

* fix: connect LEARN_INSTRUCTION names put_page, not CLI-only capture

The self-orientation block told a connected agent that `capture` is an
available MCP tool. It isn't — `capture` is a CLI-only convenience command;
the MCP write tool is `put_page`. An agent that followed the instruction hit
"unknown tool". Drop capture; put_page was already in the list. Adds a
regression block to connect.test.ts.

* feat: serve --http surfaces skill-publishing status (banner + nudge)

When mcp.publish_skills is OFF, connected agents can search/write but can't
call list_skills/get_skill, so the host's skill catalog is invisible to them.
The startup banner now shows a Skills: line, and a stderr nudge fires when off
with the paste-ready fix. Pure skillPublishStatus() helper, unit-tested.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: prove the local stdio MCP funnel end-to-end

Spawns real `gbrain serve` (stdio) against a freshly init --pglite brain and
drives the official MCP SDK client through initialize -> tools/list ->
tools/call (get_brain_identity + search). Pins the advertised core-tool set
against what the server actually exposes (asserts capture is NOT advertised).
This funnel had zero e2e coverage before.

* test: make batch-retry-audit ENOENT case hermetic

The 'no-op when audit dir does not exist' case called
pruneOldBatchRetryAuditFiles(30) without a GBRAIN_AUDIT_DIR override, so it
read the real ~/.gbrain/audit and flaked (kept:1) on any dev machine with a
batch-retry-*.jsonl on disk. Point it at a guaranteed-missing temp subdir,
matching this file's own hermetic-header contract.

New tutorial docs/tutorials/connect-coding-agent.md: Path A (connect to an
existing brain) + Path B (start from nothing, local stdio), the brain-first
protocol to paste into CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md, and the four translatable habits.
README gains a 'Quick start: Claude Code or Codex' fork separating lightweight
retrieval from the full autonomous install. INSTALL.md shows the one-command
wire-up at the standalone CLI section. mcp/CLAUDE_CODE + CODEX cross-link the
tutorial + note publish_skills + capture-is-CLI-only. Tutorial promoted to

Garry TanandClaude Opus 4.8 eefe8b5741 v0.42.1.0 feat: gbrain skillopt — self-evolving skills (closes #1481) (#1563)
* feat(skillopt): foundation modules — types, lr-schedule, benchmark, score, audit, lock

* feat(skillopt): edit primitives — apply-edits (D5+D9), rejected-buffer LRU, version-store (D8 history-intent-first)

* feat(skillopt): rollout (D2 gateway.toolLoop + D13 read-only allowlist), reflect (D7 two calls), validate-gate (D12 median+epsilon, D4 parallel), preflight (D3), bundled-skill-gate (D16)

* feat(skillopt): orchestrator (D6 slow-update, D10 ASCII diagrams, D11 caching), checkpoint, bootstrap (D15 sentinel), CLI dispatch + help

* feat(skillopt): cycle phase (F1 dream-loop wiring), PROTECTED_JOB_NAMES + MCP op (F6 admin scope + allowlist) + Minion handler (F7 --background)

* feat(skillopt): full cathedral — --all batch (F4), --target-models fleet (F5), write-capture (F10), held-out scaffold (F11), adversarial suite 41 cases (F2), E2E PGLite (F3), meta-skill bundle (T7), reflect+judge evals (F8+F9), docs (T10)

* chore: bump version to v0.42.0.0 (MINOR — significant new feature)

* fix(skillopt): wire trajectories from forward gate to reflect + fix parseEditsResponse parser misuse

Two related v0.42.0.0 bugs that conspired to make `runSkillOpt` structurally
unable to accept any candidate edit. Either alone would have killed self-evolution;
together they made the loop a no-op for every input.

**Bug 1 (orchestrator gap):** `runOptimizationLoop` in orchestrator.ts called
`runReflect({successes: [], failures: []})` with hardcoded empty arrays. The
forward gate's `scoredRollouts` were computed then voided. `runReflect`
short-circuits both modes when their batches are empty, so the optimizer was
never asked to propose an edit. Every step hit the no_edits_applied branch.

Fix: add `scoredRollouts: ScoredRollout[]` to `GateResult` and
`runsPerTask?: number` to `ValidateGateOpts`. Forward pass uses
`runsPerTask: 1`; orchestrator partitions returned rollouts by `score >= 0.5`
and threads real successes + failures into `runReflect`.

**Bug 2 (parser misuse):** `parseEditsResponse` in reflect.ts routed every
optimizer response through `parseJudgeJson` first. `parseJudgeJson` looks for
a `score` key (it's a judge-output parser, not an edits parser) and returns
null for any JSON without one — including the well-formed `{"edits": [...]}`
the optimizer is contractually required to emit. The function then early-
returned `[]` and the actual `tryExtractEdits` path on the next line was
unreachable dead code.

Fix: drop the wrong-typed guard. `parseEditsResponse` now calls
`tryExtractEdits` directly. Export it so `reflect.test.ts` can pin the
contract independently of the chat transport.

**Why this slipped through 152 prior skillopt tests:** zero unit coverage
of `parseEditsResponse` or `runReflect`. The existing E2E `all-reject` case
asserted no_improvement (which was true for the wrong reason — empty edits,
not gate rejection). Both bugs were structurally invisible to the existing
test surface.

**New coverage:**

- `test/skillopt/reflect.test.ts` (15 cases):
  - 8 `parseEditsResponse` cases including the IRON-RULE regression pin
    for the v0.42.0.1 fix (`{"edits": [...]}` JSON must survive the parser).
  - 7 `runReflect` D7 contract cases: both modes fire, empty-batch skips,
    additive token usage, one-mode-throws-other-still-works, rejected-buffer
    flows into anti-bias prompt.
  - Documents the trailing-comma limitation as an explicit out-of-scope pin
    (so a future tightening of `tryExtractEdits` lights this test up
    intentionally).

- `test/e2e/skillopt-loop.serial.test.ts` (7 cases):
  - HAPPY PATH: stubbed `gateway.chat` acts as both target agent (emits
    sections based on skill content) and optimizer (proposes a real
    add-Citations edit). Drives `runSkillOpt` end-to-end against PGLite.
    Asserts outcome=accepted, SKILL.md mutated with new section,
    frontmatter preserved (D5), history has one committed row,
    best.md mirrors disk, delta > epsilon, receipt fields populated.
  - 5 broken cases (each isolates a distinct orchestrator-visible failure):
    1. Below-baseline regression: optimizer proposes a destructive edit;
       gate rejects with reason=below_baseline; SKILL.md unchanged;
       rejected-buffer captures the bad edit for anti-bias context.
    2. Malformed reflect JSON: orchestrator degrades gracefully to
       no_improvement without crashing.
    3. Anchor-not-found: applyEditBatch rejects all; sel gate skipped;
       rejected-buffer captures with reason=apply_failed.
    4. Budget exhausted mid-step: outcome=aborted, no pending rows survive.
    5. Converged-skill re-run: starting from already-perfect skill →
       no_improvement (no thrash on a well-tuned starting point).
  - IDEMPOTENT RE-RUN: drive runSkillOpt twice in sequence. Run 1 accepts.
    Run 2 sees improved baseline, no failures, returns no_improvement.
    SKILL.md byte-identical to post-run-1; history still has exactly 1
    committed row. Proves stability at the fixed point.

All hermetic (no DATABASE_URL, no API keys). PGLite in-memory engine,
tempdir SKILL.md + benchmark, stubbed gateway.chat via
`__setChatTransportForTests`. `.serial.test.ts` because the stub installs
module state and the loop walks shared disk state across epochs.

Test counts after fix: 174 skillopt-surface tests pass (149 pre-existing
unit + 15 new reflect unit + 3 existing E2E + 7 new E2E). Typecheck clean.

* fix(cycle): align ALL_PHASES skillopt position with actual dispatch order

v0.42.0.0 added skillopt to ALL_PHASES right after `patterns` (line 127), but
the dispatch block in runCycle (line ~1912) actually runs skillopt between
`conversation_facts_backfill` and `embed`. The two were inconsistent, and the
serial test `report.phases.map(p => p.phase)).toEqual(ALL_PHASES)` was failing
on master because of it.

A second pre-existing failure: the two phase-count assertions in
`test/core/cycle.serial.test.ts` still said `toBe(20)` even though
ALL_PHASES grew to 21 when skillopt was added. The author bumped the array
but forgot the test.

Two fixes, one commit:

1. Move `'skillopt'` in ALL_PHASES from after `patterns` to between
   `conversation_facts_backfill` and `embed`, matching where runCycle
   actually dispatches it. Runtime behavior is unchanged — only the
   declaration order moves. Updated the surrounding comment to call out
   the position invariant and reference the test that pins it.

2. Update both `toBe(20)` assertions in cycle.serial.test.ts to `toBe(21)`
   with a v0.42.0.0 history line in the running comments.

Why declaration follows runtime (not the other way around): the comment
intent ("Runs AFTER patterns — graph-fresh") is still satisfied because
"after the entire main graph-mutating cluster" is strictly fresher than
"right after patterns". No design intent is lost.

Test result: cycle.serial.test.ts is now 28/28 (was 27/28 on master + my
prior commit). Skillopt suite still 174/174.

* fix(ci): bump PHASE_SCOPE assertion to 21 + fix skill-optimizer Anti-Patterns case

Two CI failures pre-existing on this branch since the v0.42.0.0 skillopt
cathedral landed; master is green because skillopt didn't exist there yet.

1. test/phase-scope-coverage.test.ts asserted ALL_PHASES.length === 20.
   skillopt is the 21st phase. Bumped to 21 with v0.42.0.0 history line
   in the comment chain. Sibling fix to the cycle.serial.test.ts bump
   in commit 08ad2468.

2. skills/skill-optimizer/SKILL.md had `## Anti-patterns` (lowercase p).
   skills-conformance.test.ts asserts `## Anti-Patterns` (capital P) as
   the required section header. Single-character rename.

Local: 174 skillopt-surface tests + 6 phase-scope tests + 249 skills-
conformance tests all green. Typecheck clean.

Remaining CI delta: 5 put_page facts backstop failures in shard 10 that
reproduce only on Linux CI, not locally even with empty env / cleared
HOME / max-concurrency=1. The error surface is `r.isError === true` with
no further detail captured in the bun:test output. Pushing these 2 fixes
first to narrow the CI signal; will instrument if the 5 persist.

* fix(e2e): align dream-cycle-phase-order + onboard-full-flow with v0.41/v0.42 reality

Two stale E2E assertion files surfaced by a full local E2E run against
real Postgres (the gbrain-test-pg container on port 5434). Neither file
is in the CI E2E job (CI only runs mechanical.test.ts + mcp.test.ts +
skills.test.ts + zeroentropy-live.test.ts), so the drift has been latent.

1. `test/e2e/dream-cycle-phase-order-pglite.test.ts`
   EXPECTED_PHASES was missing 4 phases that landed in master since the
   list was last revised:
     - extract_atoms (v0.41 T9 — atom extraction, after extract_facts)
     - synthesize_concepts (v0.41 T9 — concept synthesis, after patterns)
     - conversation_facts_backfill (v0.41.11.0, after calibration_profile)
     - skillopt (v0.42.0.0 — self-evolving skills, between
       conversation_facts_backfill and embed)
   Updated to 21 entries in the actual runtime dispatch order (matches
   ALL_PHASES exactly). 5/5 tests in the file pass after.

2. `test/e2e/onboard-full-flow.test.ts`
   `runAllOnboardChecks` shape test asserted exactly 4 checks; v0.42's
   type-unification cathedral (PR #1542, T13-T15) added 3 more
   (`pack_upgrade_available`, `type_proliferation`, `dangling_aliases`)
   for a total of 7. And `empty brain returns 0 remediations` regressed
   because `pack_upgrade_available` can emit a manual_only remediation
   on brains where gbrain-base@1.x is active and gbrain-base-v2 is
   registered as a successor. Tightened that assertion to `total <= 1`
   AND kept a per-check guard asserting takes_count remediations stay 0
   (the original test's load-bearing claim — A12 two-gate consent).
   13/13 tests in the file pass after.

Honest scope: 4 other E2E files still fail locally after this commit
(cycle.test.ts, dream.test.ts, phantom-redirect.test.ts,
sync-lock-recovery.test.ts), each for a distinct pre-existing master
bug unrelated to v0.42 skillopt work:
  - cycle.test.ts (5 fails): PostgresEngine.getConfig falls back to
    db.getConnection() singleton via the `get sql()` getter when no
    poolSize is set; the new conversation_facts_backfill phase chain
    hits this fallback even though the test's setupDB() connects both
    the singleton AND the engine. Race condition between the test's
    singleton lifecycle and the phase's getConfig call. Deeper fix
    needed in PostgresEngine.getConfig (use this._sql directly with
    explicit fallback only on user-driven CLI paths).
  - dream.test.ts (1 fail): expects "concepts/testing" slug to appear
    in dream cycle output, gets empty array. Related to v0.42 concept
    type-unification semantics.
  - phantom-redirect.test.ts (2 fails): concurrent-sync race +
    postgres-js text-string embedding survival. Master-level data-path
    bug; would need its own fix wave.
  - sync-lock-recovery.test.ts (1 fail): `gbrain sync --break-lock
    --all` exits 0 but test expects 1 with a shell-loop hint. CLI
    behavior changed in a master commit; need to either restore the
    refusal behavior or update the assertion.

None of these 4 block CI (E2E job doesn't run them). Filed as a
TODOS.md entry for a follow-up wave; the 2 in this commit are the
ones that mirror v0.42 work landing.

Local: 130/136 E2E files green, 927/940 tests pass (was 925/940
before these fixes; the 2 files this commit fixes added 7 newly-
passing tests).

* fix(ci): quarantine query-cache-knobs-hash.test.ts to serial runner

CI shard 10 (commit 4d721077) failed 5 tests in the
`SemanticQueryCache cross-mode isolation (CDX-4 hotfix)` describe block,
all ~7-34ms each, all expecting writes/reads to round-trip through one
shared PGLite engine + a `beforeEach DELETE FROM query_cache`. Passes
9/9 locally; fails 5/9 on Linux CI under bun's default in-file
max-concurrency=4.

Classic intra-file concurrency race shape: test A's `beforeEach`
clears the table → test A's `store` writes a row → test B's
`beforeEach` (concurrent with A's `store`) clears the table → test A's
follow-up COUNT query returns 0. Same root cause that quarantined
`embed-stale.test.ts`, `brain-allowlist.test.ts`, and
`schema-pack-find-pack-successors.test.ts` to the serial runner in
prior fix waves (documented in v0.41.22.0 CI fix wave).

Fix: rename to `query-cache-knobs-hash.serial.test.ts` so the v0.26.7
serial-tests runner picks it up at `max-concurrency=1`. Tests still
exercise the actual cache logic — no test deleted, no production code
changed. The describe block's `beforeAll` engine + `beforeEach`
TRUNCATE pattern works correctly at serial concurrency.

Local: 12/12 in this file + 52/52 in the serial runner. Production
SemanticQueryCache code is untouched.

* fix(heavy): frontmatter_scan_wallclock — opt into --no-embedding so CI runners work

Heavy tests workflow run 26542447602 (commit 483a5577) failed on the
first heavy script:

  [fm_wallclock] FAIL: gbrain init exited non-zero
  No embedding provider configured. Set one of:
    OPENAI_API_KEY / ZEROENTROPY_API_KEY / VOYAGE_API_KEY
  Or defer setup: gbrain init --pglite --no-embedding

The v0.37 D9 hard-require landed in init.ts: `gbrain init --pglite` now
refuses to proceed without an embedding provider configured. The
heavy-tests GitHub workflow doesn't pipe any embedding API keys
(deliberate — the heavy tests measure ops shape, not LLM behavior), so
every CI invocation now blocks at step 2 of this script.

The script's whole purpose is measuring `gbrain doctor`'s
frontmatter-scan wallclock — it never embeds, never calls
`gbrain embed`, never queries vectors. The right fix is to opt out of
the provider requirement via the same `--no-embedding` flag init.ts
already exposes for this exact "deferred setup" case.

Verified locally:
  TMP=$(mktemp -d); GBRAIN_HOME="$TMP" \
    bun run src/cli.ts init --pglite --yes --no-embedding
  # exit 0, brain initialized.

No production code change. One-line + comment in the script.

* fix(heavy): sync_lock_regression — pass --no-embed so CI runs measure lock contention, not key absence

Heavy tests workflow run 26542545802 (commit 7962d312, after the
previous fm_wallclock fix) failed at the next heavy script in the chain:

  [sync_lock_regression] outcomes: winners=0 losers=0 unknown=4
  [sync_lock_regression] FAIL: expected 1 winner, got 0
  [sync_lock_regression] FAIL: expected 3 lock-busy losers, got 0

Each of the 4 parallel `gbrain sync` invocations failed for the same
reason — none of them ever even got to the lock-acquire step:

    Embedding model "zeroentropyai:zembed-1" requires ZEROENTROPY_API_KEY.
    Re-run with --no-embed to import-only and embed later once the key is set.

The CI runner doesn't pipe any embedding-provider API keys (deliberate —
heavy tests measure ops shape, not LLM behavior), and sync now hard-fails
when its embed step can't reach a configured provider.

This script measures the writer-lock race shape — `gbrain-sync` row in
`gbrain_cycle_locks`, exactly-one-winner semantics, N-1 fail-fast losers
with "Another sync is in progress", zero leaked rows post-run. It never
needed embeddings; the original write predates the hard-require landing.

Fix: pass `--no-embed` to the sync invocation. Same kind of fix as
fm_wallclock (commit 7962d312) but on the sync side rather than init.

No production code touched. One-line change in the bash script.

* fix(heavy): sync_lock_regression — register source via psql + use --repo + tolerate doctor warns

Heavy tests run 26542638471 (commit 60145eee, after the --no-embed
fix) failed at the same script but at a downstream step:

  > Source "default" has no local_path. Run: gbrain sources add default --path <path>

Three independent bugs in the script that all surfaced at once after
v0.41's source-registry landed:

1. `gbrain config set sync.repo_path` is the legacy way; sync now
   reads `sources.local_path` first. Replaced with an upsert into the
   sources table via psql:
     INSERT INTO sources (id, name, local_path)
     VALUES ('default', 'default', $BRAIN_DIR)
     ON CONFLICT (id) DO UPDATE SET local_path = EXCLUDED.local_path
   Kept the legacy `config set sync.repo_path` line too as
   belt-and-suspenders for any downstream caller that still reads it.

2. `gbrain sync --dir <path>` is silently ignored; sync's CLI parser
   recognizes `--repo`, not `--dir`. Switched to `--repo`.

3. `bun run src/cli.ts doctor --json` at the top (used to apply
   migrations as a side effect) exits non-zero whenever ANY check
   warns — including the new "no embedding provider configured"
   warning on a fresh CI runner. The script's `set -e` aborted at
   line 53 before reaching any of the sync invocations. Added `|| true`
   since the migration runs regardless of doctor's exit verdict.

Verified locally — `DATABASE_URL=... bash tests/heavy/sync_lock_regression.sh`
output:
  [sync 1] rc= (lock-busy: 'Another sync is in progress')
  [sync 2] rc=0 (winner)
  [sync 3] rc= (lock-busy: 'Another sync is in progress')
  [sync 4] rc= (lock-busy: 'Another sync is in progress')
  outcomes: winners=1 losers=3 unknown=0
  post-run gbrain_cycle_locks(gbrain-sync) row count: 0
  OK — 1 winner, 3 lock-busy losers, no leaked lock rows.

Production code untouched. All three fixes are in the bash script.

* docs(skillopt): hands-on tutorial for auto-improving a skill + discoverability

There was no tutorial for skillopt — only a reference guide
(docs/guides/skillopt.md) that opens at --bootstrap-from-routing and
assumes you already understand benchmarks, and an agent-facing SKILL.md.
README had ZERO skillopt mention. The one thing a user must hand-author
(the benchmark JSONL) was taught nowhere with a worked example.

New: docs/tutorials/improving-skills-with-skillopt.md — Diataxis tutorial
(learning-oriented), copy-pasteable end to end:
  1. mental model in two sentences (SKILL.md is the trainable param, the
     agent is frozen)
  2. write your first benchmark from scratch — a complete 15-task rule-judge
     starter you paste and run, with the full check-op table
     (contains/regex/section_present/max_chars/min_citations/tool_called/
     tool_not_called)
  3. --dry-run cost preview (and that it exits 2 by convention, not failure)
  4. real run + reading accepted(0)/no_improvement(1)/aborted(2) with the
     actual stderr output shape
  5. where output lands (best.md, versions/, history.json, rejected.json,
     audit jsonl)
  6. accept/reject — bundled vs user skills, --no-mutate vs
     --allow-mutate-bundled
  7. iterate by sharpening the benchmark

The load-bearing fix the tutorial makes that the reference guide got wrong:
the DEFAULT --split 4:1:5 needs ~50 tasks before it runs (sel = N/10, floor
5). A first-time author writing 10-15 tasks hits `D_sel has N task(s)
(need >=5)` and bounces. The tutorial ships 15 tasks + `--split 1:1:1`
(clean 5/5/5) so the copy-paste path actually works. Verified against the
real loadBenchmark + splitBench: the exact shipped block parses 15 unique
tasks and splits 5/5/5 with sel>=5; the system's own error message confirms
"need ~50 total for 4:1:5".

Discoverability (Diataxis cross-linking):
  - README.md tutorials section: new entry (was zero skillopt mention)
  - docs/tutorials/README.md: added under ## Shipped
  - docs/guides/skillopt.md: "New to this? Start with the tutorial" callout

Every claim devex-verified against source: exit-code map from
skillopt.ts (accepted:0/no_improvement:1/aborted:2/errored:2), stderr
format from skillopt.ts:286-292, check ops from score.ts, output paths
from SKILL.md, split math from benchmark.ts.

* docs: regenerate llms-full.txt after skillopt tutorial + README edit

Refreshes the inlined doc bundle so the committed llms-full.txt matches
fresh `bun run build:llms` output (test/build-llms.test.ts drift guard).
Picks up the README tutorials-section edit from c39dbdb1. The new tutorial
file itself isn't curated into scripts/llms-config.ts (the bundle curates
a fixed doc set, not every tutorial) — this is purely the README delta.

* fix(ci): stop embed-preflight leaking gateway config into facts-backstop shard

CI shard 10 failed 5 `put_page facts backstop` tests with:

  [embed(openai:text-embedding-3-small)] Incorrect API key provided: sk-test

(captured by the diagnostic stderr added in a prior commit). Root cause is
a cross-file module-state leak, not a logic bug:

- `embed-preflight.test.ts` calls `configureGateway({env:{OPENAI_API_KEY:
  'sk-test'}})` to drive credential-validation scenarios. It resets the
  gateway `beforeEach` but never AFTER its last test, so it leaves the
  gateway configured with `sk-test`.
- bun runs every file in a shard inside ONE process. The residual config
  bleeds into the next file. When `facts-backstop-gating.test.ts` lands in
  the same shard, its put_page calls see `isAvailable('embedding') === true`
  (the key is *present*, just invalid), so put_page attempts a real embed
  and 401s before the backstop gating even runs.
- It's intermittent across master merges because shard bin-packing changes
  which files co-locate. (It "resolved" after the v107 merge earlier for
  exactly this reason, then came back.)

R1/R2 test-isolation lint doesn't catch this — it's `configureGateway`
module state, not `process.env` or `mock.module`.

Two fixes, both using the gateway's own `resetGateway()` seam (no
process.env, R-compliant):

1. embed-preflight.test.ts — `afterAll(() => resetGateway())` so the leaker
   cleans up after the whole file. Primary fix; also protects any OTHER
   shard-mate that reads gateway state.
2. facts-backstop-gating.test.ts — `beforeEach(() => resetGateway())` so the
   suite is deterministic regardless of ambient gateway config. Defense in
   depth: isAvailable('embedding') is now reliably false → put_page uses
   noEmbed → the import never embeds → only the backstop gating (the suite's
   actual subject) is exercised.

Verified: running leaker+victim in one process (the shard repro) goes
16/16; full shard 10 goes 1208/1208 (was 5 fail in CI). Typecheck clean.

* docs(skillopt): make benchmark authoring an agent job, not a human chore

The prior tutorial taught a human to hand-write a 15-task benchmark — but
nobody does that. The real workflow is: user says "make skill X better,"
the AGENT authors the benchmark and runs the optimizer. The agent-facing
dispatcher didn't actually cover that.

Gap found: skill-optimizer/SKILL.md documented exactly one authoring path,
`--bootstrap-from-routing`, which (a) requires a pre-existing
routing-eval.jsonl (bootstrap-benchmark.ts:57-63 refuses without it) and
(b) generates tasks from ROUTING fixtures — which test dispatch ("does
this phrasing pick this skill"), not output quality. So an agent told to
improve a skill with no benchmark had no documented way to author a
*quality* benchmark; it'd have to reinvent the JSONL format the human
tutorial teaches.

Two fixes:

1. skills/skill-optimizer/SKILL.md — new "Authoring the benchmark yourself
   (the common case)" section: read the target SKILL.md, generate ~15
   realistic tasks, attach rule judges (contains/max_chars/min_citations/
   section_present/regex/tool_called), write the JSONL, run with
   `--split 1:1:1` (the default 4:1:5 needs ~50 tasks). Decision-tree row
   "New skill, no benchmark" now says "Author one" instead of pointing at
   bootstrap-from-routing; the bootstrap row is reframed as a head-start
   that only applies when routing fixtures exist and notes routing tasks
   test dispatch, not quality.

2. docs/tutorials/improving-skills-with-skillopt.md — new "The easiest
   path: ask your agent" section up top. Tells humans to just tell their
   agent "improve my X skill — write a benchmark first," and frames the
   manual walkthrough as "read this when you want to understand or
   hand-curate what the agent is doing."

Verified: conformance 249/0, resolver 99/0, build-llms drift guard 7/0,
cross-link resolves.

* feat(skillopt): --bootstrap-from-skill starter benchmark generator

Generate a quality benchmark from a skill's SKILL.md directly, no
routing-eval.jsonl required. One LLM call emits JSONL tasks (each with rule
judges) that the agent reviews + strengthens before optimizing.

- runBootstrapFromSkill: JSONL output parsed line-by-line with skip-bad-line
  salvage (a truncated final line drops, the rest survive); a task is kept only
  when >=2 valid rule checks survive; provider errors propagate instead of
  collapsing to bootstrap_empty.
- --bootstrap-tasks N (default 15, cap 50); maxTokens scales with the count.
- Extracted assertBenchmarkAbsent + readSkillBodyOrThrow shared with the routing
  bootstrap; hardened runBootstrap's routing-eval parse to skip malformed lines.
- CLI: --bootstrap-from-skill short-circuit + 6-way mutual exclusion; parseFlags
  exported for unit tests. The benchmark-not-found hint + --help now point here.
- The generator's REVIEW line prints the paste-ready
  `--bootstrap-reviewed --split 1:1:1` next command (the default 4:1:5 split
  refuses a 15-task starter at D_sel >= 5).
- 20 hermetic cases incl. round-trip into loadBenchmark + splitBench(1:1:1).

* docs(skillopt): make --bootstrap-from-skill the primary no-benchmark path

The agent runs --bootstrap-from-skill, strengthens the generated judges (they
are weak drafts), deletes the sentinel, then runs --bootstrap-reviewed
--split 1:1:1. Freehand authoring is demoted to the fallback for the rare skill
the generator can't draft well. Updates the Iron Law, decision tree, and
anti-patterns to cover both bootstrap modes and the 15-task / --split 1:1:1
gotcha.

llms-full.txt to 700,423 bytes — 423 over the 700KB cap — failing the
build-llms size-budget test on CI shard 6. CLAUDE.md is ~540KB (77% of the

the budget tracks its per-release growth. 750KB still fits 200k+ context models.

Garry TanandClaude Opus 4.8 6f26d5e4df v0.41.37.0 fix: critical fix wave — reindex tag wipe, grandfather hang, Windows migration spawn, sync ReDoS (#1621 #1581 #1605 #1569) (#1665)
* fix(reindex): add-only tag reconciliation + DB-only re-chunk preserves frontmatter (#1621)

reindex --markdown and re-import no longer wipe DB-side enrichment tags.
Tag reconciliation is now ADD-ONLY (import-file.ts): re-import adds current
frontmatter tags and never deletes, so auto/dream/signal-detector tags survive.
The reindex DB-only fallback reconstructs full markdown via serializeMarkdown
so re-chunking a page with no on-disk source preserves frontmatter/title/timeline.

* fix(migrations): v0.13.1 grandfather chunked, source-safe, soft-delete-filtered (#1581)

phaseCGrandfather rewritten from a per-page getPage+putPage loop (which hung
70+ min on an 82K-page PGLite brain) to a chunked bulk SQL pass keyed on
pages.id (NOT slug — slug isn't globally unique), filtering deleted_at IS NULL,
with a batched rollback log carrying source identity.

* fix(migrations): run schema phases in-process to fix Windows getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND (#1605)

The 9 'gbrain init --migrate-only' execSync spawns died on Windows+bun+Supabase
(child DNS resolution). runMigrateOnlyCore (extracted from initMigrateOnly) runs
the schema bring-up in-process for all engines, unblocking schema_version
advancement. Includes async-call-site audit, a wall-clock guard, and a
runGbrainSubprocess stderr-capture wrapper for the remaining backfill spawns.

* fix(sync): ReDoS hardening + diagnostics for schema-pack regexes (#1569)

Input-length cap in runRegexBounded + route the unbounded link-inference path
through it (closes the only no-timeout ReDoS hole); star-height lint rule warns
on nested-quantifier patterns; --no-schema-pack sync escape hatch; GBRAIN_SYNC_TRACE
per-file begin heartbeat; PGLite serve/sync concurrency doc. Defensive hardening +
diagnostics — the deterministic ~3100-file wedge root cause remains open (no repro).

* docs(todos): file v0.41.37.0 fix-wave follow-ups (#1621/#1605/#1569)

v0.41.37.0 key-files annotations merged on top of master's v0.41.34/35/36 CLAUDE.md

f79c1306a2 v0.41.32.0 fix(staleness): commit-relative sync staleness (supersedes #1623) (#1656)
* fix(staleness): commit-relative sync staleness (HEAD-hash local, durable column remote)

Quiet, fully-caught-up repos no longer false-alarm as SEVERELY STALE in
gbrain doctor / sources status. Staleness now means "is there committed
content the sync hasn't ingested?" not raw wall-clock since the last sync.

- git-head.ts: requireCleanWorkingTree gains 'ignore-untracked' mode (git
  status --porcelain --untracked-files=no). Untracked dirs no longer defeat
  the freshness short-circuit — sync's incremental path keys off the commit
  diff and never imports untracked files, so doctor agrees with sync.
- source-health.ts: newestCommitMs (HEAD committer time) + pure
  lagFromContentMs comparator; computeAllSourceMetrics {probeContent} routes
  local→live commit-hash, remote→stored column. Dead isSourceStale removed.
- migration v108 sources.newest_content_at + fresh-schema blobs.
- sync.ts: writeSyncAnchor stamps newest_content_at atomically with
  last_commit/last_sync_at; buildSyncStatusReport (remote get_status_snapshot)
  reads the column — no git subprocess (v0.41.27.0 trust boundary intact).
- doctor.ts: checkSyncFreshness short-circuit ignores untracked; remote path
  reads the column; clock-skew check stays on raw wall-clock.

Local consumers probe live git (catch HEAD moving to an old-dated commit, which
a timestamp compare would miss); remote consumers read the durable column so a
remote-callable endpoint never shells out to a DB-supplied local_path.

Supersedes #1623 (re-implemented in base repo with the trust boundary preserved).

* chore(ci): offload tests to on-demand cloud runners from a local CLI

scripts/ship-remote-tests.sh pushes the branch, dispatches the test workflow,
and blocks on `gh run watch --exit-status` — a local caller (human or agent)
awaits the GitHub run exactly like a local `bun run test`, with a real pass/fail
exit code. Frees a load-saturated local machine (many Conductor agents running
their own bun-test suites at once → load avg 120 on 16 cores → PGLite OOM/crawl).

test.yml gains workflow_dispatch so the suite can be triggered from any branch.

6ae94301a6 v0.41.26.1 fix: lock-renewal cathedral — closes ~39 worker crashes/day (supersedes #1567) (#1572)
* v0.41.26.1 fix: lock-renewal cathedral — closes ~39 worker crashes/day (supersedes #1567)

Production worker daemons against Supabase / PgBouncer were crashing
~39 times/day with `unhandledRejection at renewLock`. PR #1567
proposed the right try/catch shape; this wave incorporates it and
closes the entire bug class (4 inside-review + 8 outside-voice
findings absorbed via 9 locked design decisions).

What's fixed:

- `setInterval(async () => await renewLock(...))` replaced with a
  sync wrapper around the new pure `runLockRenewalTick` function.
  No more unhandled rejections escaping the timer callback.
- Second crash vector closed: `.catch()` on the stored
  `executeJob(...).finally(...)` promise so failJob/completeJob
  throws during the same outage can't propagate to
  `process.on('unhandledRejection')`.
- Per-call `Promise.race` timeout (default `lockDuration/3`) bounds
  hung renewLock calls so the re-entrancy guard can't wedge
  indefinitely.
- Time-based abort (NOT count-based) so the worker releases its
  lock BEFORE another worker can reclaim. With the prior 3-strike
  count + 30s lockDuration, a 15s window let other workers race.
- Infrastructure aborts (`lock-renewal-failed`, `lock-lost`) don't
  burn job attempts — `executeJob`'s catch consults the exported
  `INFRASTRUCTURE_ABORT_REASONS` set and skips `failJob` so the
  stall detector reclaims cleanly.
- Universal grace-eviction: 30s force-evict safety net now fires
  for ANY abort reason, not just `job.timeout_ms`.

What's added:

- `src/core/minions/lock-renewal-tick.ts` (NEW): pure extracted
  state-machine function + env-knob resolver. Three operator-tunable
  knobs via env (max-failures-for-audit, call-timeout-ms,
  safety-margin-ms) with stderr-warn-once on bad input + default
  fallback.
- `src/core/audit/lock-renewal-audit.ts` (NEW): sibling of
  `batch-retry-audit.ts`. Four outcomes: failure /
  success_after_failure / gave_up / executeJob_rejected. JSONL at
  `~/.gbrain/audit/lock-renewal-YYYY-Www.jsonl`.
- `src/core/audit/redact-connection-info.ts` (NEW): shared privacy
  helper. Strips Postgres URLs, host=, user=, password=, IPv4 from
  error messages before they hit audit JSONL. Wired into BOTH the
  new lock-renewal audit AND the existing batch-retry audit
  (privacy backfill — same risk class).
- `scripts/check-worker-lock-renewal-shape.sh` (NEW): CI guard
  wired into `bun run verify`. Asserts the v0.41.22.1 bug pattern
  (`lockTimer = setInterval(async ...)`) stays absent AND the pure
  function call site survives refactors. Bug-pattern-specific so it
  doesn't fight legitimate refactors (codex C12).

Tests: 64 new cases across 5 new test files. 182 existing minion +
worker tests still pass. All hermetic — no PGLite, no real network,
no `mock.module`.

Plan + 9 decisions + codex outside-voice review at
~/.claude/plans/system-instruction-you-are-working-humming-nygaard.md

Closes #1567 (incorporates the contributor's try/catch shape; closes
the bug class structurally).

* test: fill A-H gaps for v0.41.26.1 lock-renewal cathedral

The original v0.41.26.1 wave shipped 64 hermetic unit tests on the
pure tick function, audit primitives, and redactor. Post-ship audit
flagged 8 wiring gaps the pure tests can't see — A (launchJob
wiring), B (executeJob skip-failJob), C (.catch on stored promise),
D (INFRASTRUCTURE_ABORT_REASONS export), E (universal grace-evict),
F (executeJob_rejected end-to-end), G (re-entrancy guard at worker
layer), H (gold-standard E2E regression).

Now closed:

- **test/worker-lock-renewal-e2e.serial.test.ts** (1 test, gap H):
  the headline gold-standard regression. Real PGLite + real
  MinionWorker + executeRaw wrap that injects renewLock failures on
  demand. Pins that the worker process DOES NOT crash via
  unhandledRejection under sustained renewLock throws, the handler
  observes abort.signal.aborted = true with reason
  'lock-renewal-failed', and the audit JSONL contains both `failure`
  and `gave_up` events. The exact v0.41.22.1 production bug class.
  Quarantined to its own file because bun:test serial + PGLite has an
  unresolved interaction with multiple MinionWorker-driven tests in
  the same file (second test's queue.add hangs indefinitely).

- **test/worker-lock-renewal-shape.test.ts** (18 tests, gaps A-G):
  source-shape behavioral pins. Greps worker.ts function bodies for
  the patterns the locked decisions promised: launchJob calls
  runLockRenewalTick + resolveLockRenewalKnobs + uses
  lockRenewalAudit; tickInFlight declared and gated correctly; stored
  executeJob promise has .catch with logExecuteJobRejected + console
  stderr; abort.signal.addEventListener fires for any abort (not just
  timeout_ms); INFRASTRUCTURE_ABORT_REASONS used inside executeJob's
  catch with return-early shape. Bug-pattern-specific so a refactor
  that genuinely improves the shape passes; a refactor that
  accidentally strips a guarantee fails loud.

All 83 lock-renewal wave tests pass in 5.2s. 205 existing minion +
worker tests still green. No production code changes.

* fix: typecheck errors in worker-lock-renewal-e2e.serial.test.ts

CI verify failed on the new E2E gap-fill test (commit a8b282d4) due
to two TS errors that bun's runtime accepts but tsc rejects:

1. line 92: `originalExecuteRaw(sql, ...args)` with `args: unknown[]`
   — TS can't prove args has <=2 elements, so the call site looks
   like 1+1+N args against a function that accepts 1-3. Fixed by
   destructuring the wrap params explicitly: `(sql, params?, opts?)`
   matching the executeRaw signature, then calling
   `originalExecuteRaw(sql, params, opts)` with named args.

2. line 145: `expect(abortReason).toBe('lock-renewal-failed')` where
   `abortReason: string | null = null`. TS narrows the variable to
   `null` because the closure assignment in worker.register isn't
   observable to the inferrer. bun:test's `.toBe` overload then
   picks the null variant and rejects the string literal. Fixed by
   `as unknown as string` cast — the preceding `handlerAbortObserved`
   assertion guarantees we entered the branch where abortReason was
   assigned. Documented inline.

Local verify (29 checks) now green; E2E test still passes in 5.0s.

Garry TanandClaude Opus 4.7 ff32fcaa78 v0.41.25.0 perf(sync): batched deletes + global page-generation clock (supersedes #1538) (#1566)
* feat(engine): add deletePages + resolveSlugsByPaths to BrainEngine (v0.41.21.0 T1)

Two new REQUIRED methods on the BrainEngine interface, implemented on
both Postgres and PGLite engines. Closes the per-file N+1 query pattern
that PR #1538 batched on Postgres only.

  deletePages(slugs: string[], opts: { sourceId: string }): Promise<string[]>
    — Single SQL round-trip:
        DELETE FROM pages WHERE slug = ANY($1::text[]) AND source_id = $2
        RETURNING slug
    — Returns slugs ACTUALLY DELETED (D6, codex CDX-8) so callers can
      filter pagesAffected to exclude phantom slugs (paths in the
      deletion list but with no DB row).
    — Single-batch primitive: caller chunks input to DELETE_BATCH_SIZE.
      Throws if input exceeds the cap.
    — sourceId is REQUIRED at the type level (D5, codex CDX-10).
      Asymmetric with single-row deletePage which keeps the optional
      'default' fallback for back-compat. v0.42+ TODO to tighten.

  resolveSlugsByPaths(paths, opts): Promise<Map<path, slug>>
    — Batch path → slug lookup. Single SQL round-trip:
        SELECT slug, source_path FROM pages
         WHERE source_path = ANY($1::text[]) AND source_id = $2
    — Missing paths absent from the Map (caller falls back to
      path-derived slug, same contract as resolveSlugByPathOrSourcePath).
    — Empty input short-circuits to empty Map (no SQL).

  src/core/engine-constants.ts (NEW)
    — Single source of truth for DELETE_BATCH_SIZE = 500.
    — Both engines import; no engine-from-engine coupling.
    — Lives outside engine.ts (the interface module) to avoid circular
      imports.

Also updates the deletePage JSDoc (CDX-11): drops the misleading
"hard delete is admin-only" framing. `gbrain sync` hard-deletes on
every run that sees a deleted file; not admin-only.

* perf(sync): batched delete + rename + DRY refactor (v0.41.21.0 T2/T3/T4)

Replaces the per-file delete loop (sync.ts:1241-1257) and per-file
rename slug-resolve (sync.ts:1263-1295) with interleaved per-batch
flows using engine.resolveSlugsByPaths + engine.deletePages. Also
refactors resolveSlugByPathOrSourcePath (sync.ts:267) to delegate to
the new batch helper when sourceId is set — one owner of the SQL +
fallback semantics (D8).

ROUND-TRIP COUNTS (73K-delete commit):
  pre-fix:   73,000 SELECTs + 73,000 DELETEs = 146,000 (~5 hours)
  post-fix:     146 SELECTs +     146 DELETEs =     292 (~2 minutes)

Headline win: a single commit deleting 73K files no longer jams the
sync pipeline for hours, no longer cascades staleness across every
other source on the brain.

Shape (T2 delete loop, per the plan's ASCII diagram):

  filtered.deleted (73K paths)
        │
        ▼
   slice into batches of DELETE_BATCH_SIZE (500)
        │
        ▼  for each batch:
   abort-check ──► partial('timeout')
        │
        ▼
   engine.resolveSlugsByPaths(batch, {sourceId})  ◀── 1 SQL round-trip
        │
        ▼
   slugs = batch.map(path => map.get(path)
                  ?? resolveSlugForPath(path))    ◀── pure-JS fallback
        │                                              for frontmatter-
        ▼                                              fallback slugs
   try {
     deleted = engine.deletePages(slugs, opts)    ◀── 1 SQL round-trip
     pagesAffected.push(...deleted)               ◀── D6 confirmed only
   } catch {
     // D7 decompose: per-slug deletePage,
     // unrecoverable failures → failedFiles
   }

Per-batch try-catch (D7) decomposes batch DELETE failures to per-slug
deletePage so a transient blip on batch 73 doesn't lose 500 deletes —
it self-heals to one-at-a-time for that batch only. Unrecoverable
per-slug failures land in failedFiles (matching the existing
import-loop pattern at sync.ts:~1350). failedFiles declaration
hoisted above the delete loop so both delete decompose and import
loops feed the same sync-bookmark gate.

T4 rename loop: pre-resolves all `from` slugs in batches via
resolveSlugsByPaths BEFORE iterating. Per-file updateSlug + importFile
calls stay (those are inherently per-file). The try/catch around
updateSlug for slug-doesn't-exist preserves verbatim.

T3 DRY refactor: resolveSlugByPathOrSourcePath delegates to
resolveSlugsByPaths via a single-element array when sourceId is set.
When sourceId is undefined (legacy unscoped callers), falls back to
the original executeRaw shape — the batch engine surface requires
sourceId per D5 (multi-source-bug-class defense).

Atomicity coarsening (D3): each batch is one transaction. A mid-batch
abort or connection failure rolls back up to DELETE_BATCH_SIZE - 1
successful deletes from the in-flight batch. Sync is idempotent so
the next run picks them up via git diff regenerating the deletion
list. Documented at the call site + in the deletePages JSDoc.

* feat(schema): global page-generation clock + statement-level trigger (v0.41.21.0 T5)

Migration v104: page_generation_clock_and_statement_trigger.

The pre-v0.41.21.0 query-cache Layer 1 bookmark read MAX(generation) FROM
pages to detect "writes happened since cache-store". Two bugs in that
contract — independent of any sync work, surfaced by codex
outside-voice on the /plan-eng-review pass:

  1. The row-level bump_page_generation_trg (migration v91) sets
     NEW.generation = OLD.generation + 1 on UPDATE. Updating a NON-MAX
     page didn't advance MAX(generation). Cache silently served stale
     for any UPDATE-to-non-max page. (CDX-2)
  2. The trigger is BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE — DELETE doesn't fire it
     at all. Even an AFTER DELETE wouldn't move MAX (surviving rows
     are untouched). (CDX-1)

Fix: single-row page_generation_clock counter, bumped per-statement
(FOR EACH STATEMENT — per-row would turn a 73K-row batch DELETE into
73K UPDATEs on the same counter, recreating the bottleneck this PR
fixes elsewhere — codex CDX-4). Layer 1 reads the clock value
directly (T6, separate commit). Per-row pages.generation stays for
Layer 2 (per-page snapshot via jsonb_each + LEFT JOIN pages) which
doesn't care about MAX, only per-page advancement.

Seeded with COALESCE(MAX(pages.generation), 0) so existing query_cache
rows stored under the old MAX semantics aren't all instantly
invalidated on upgrade. Their max_generation_at_store stamp compares
cleanly against the seeded clock; future writes bump the clock and
the bookmark fires correctly.

  CREATE TABLE page_generation_clock (
    id    INTEGER PRIMARY KEY CHECK (id = 1),
    value BIGINT  NOT NULL DEFAULT 0
  );
  CREATE TRIGGER bump_page_generation_clock_trg
    AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE OR DELETE ON pages
    FOR EACH STATEMENT
    EXECUTE FUNCTION bump_page_generation_clock_fn();

Mirror in src/core/pglite-schema.ts so fresh PGLite installs get the
table + trigger via SCHEMA_SQL replay. The forward-reference bootstrap
probe doesn't need an entry: page_generation_clock is created directly
by SCHEMA_SQL (no separate index or FK references it), so the
schema-bootstrap-coverage gate is satisfied as-is.

* fix(cache): move Layer 1 to global clock + invalidate empty snapshots (v0.41.21.0 T6)

Closes the silent stale-cache bug class that's been live in master
since the bookmark feature shipped. Pre-fix, gbrain search would
silently serve stale cached results in three independent scenarios:

  1. UPDATE to a non-max-generation page (CDX-2) — the row-level
     trigger advanced per-page generation but didn't move
     MAX(generation), so the bookmark passed.
  2. DELETE of any page (CDX-1) — the trigger didn't fire at all,
     and even an AFTER DELETE wouldn't move MAX.
  3. Empty-result cache row + subsequent matching INSERT (CDX-6 /
     D20) — page_generations = '{}'::jsonb was "vacuously valid" via
     Layer 2, surviving any clock bump.

Fix:

  buildPageGenerationsSnapshot (store path)
    — Replaces the SELECT MAX(generation) FROM pages reads at
      cache-write time with SELECT value FROM page_generation_clock
      WHERE id = 1.
    — Empty pageIds path: only need the clock value (D20 contract).
    — Combined non-empty path: per-page generation (Layer 2 substrate)
      + clock value, both folded in one round trip via UNION ALL.

  CACHE_GATE_WHERE_CLAUSE (lookup path)
    — Layer 1 reads page_generation_clock.value (single-row O(1)
      lookup, faster than the pre-fix MAX(generation) backward index
      scan).
    — Layer 2 stricter: requires page_generations <> '{}'::jsonb AND
      the per-page check (not OR with the vacuously-valid `= '{}'`
      shortcut). Empty snapshots can no longer survive a Layer 1 miss.

  validateCacheRowAgainstPages (pure validator)
    — Layer 2 returns false for empty snapshots when Layer 1 fails.
    — Documented contract change.

Backward compat: pre-v0.40.3.0 cache rows have
max_generation_at_store = 0 AND page_generations = '{}'::jsonb. On a
populated brain, Layer 1 fails (clock > 0). Layer 2 is now stricter
so legacy rows invalidate once on first post-upgrade lookup, then the
cache fills back correctly. Acceptable one-time miss spike;
post-upgrade cache is structurally sound.

The clock seed (COALESCE(MAX(pages.generation), 0)) from migration
v104 keeps NON-empty legacy rows passing Layer 1 until the next
write — they don't all invalidate at once.

* test: cover v0.41.21.0 delete-batch + global clock + cache contract (T7+T8+T9)

Tests for every behavior the v0.41.21.0 wave introduces or changes.

New test files:

  test/sync-delete-batch.test.ts (PGLite hermetic)
    — engine.deletePages: empty input short-circuit, returns confirmed
      slugs (D6), multi-source isolation, cascade integrity (chunks +
      links cleared via FK), rejects oversized input.
    — engine.resolveSlugsByPaths: empty input, present + missing rows,
      D10 exotic-filename substrate (🌟.md / ทดสอบ.md / عربي.md),
      source isolation.
    — D13 pagesAffected filter: 100 deletable + 10 ghost paths →
      deletePages returns 100 (regression-pin: pre-fix would return
      all 110 via D6's pre-RETURNING shape).

  test/sync-delete-batch.slow.test.ts (.slow suffix keeps it out of
  the fast loop)
    — 10K-page batched delete completes in <5s on PGLite. Measured
      277ms on dev hardware (18x under the gate); pins the headline
      perf promise.

  test/sync-rename-batch.test.ts (PGLite hermetic)
    — 500-rename batch slug-resolve in 1 round-trip (exactly at
      DELETE_BATCH_SIZE boundary).
    — Frontmatter-fallback rename: exotic source_paths resolve via
      the batch SELECT.
    — Mixed present + missing: partial Map (missing → caller falls
      back to path-derived).

  test/page-generation-counter.test.ts (PGLite hermetic)
    — Statement-level trigger fires once per INSERT statement (raw
      SQL — NOT putPage, which uses ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE and bumps
      by 2 in PG semantics).
    — Statement-level trigger fires once per UPDATE statement.
    — Headline contract: batch DELETE bumps clock by 1, NOT by row
      count (25-row batch → +1).
    — CDX-1 regression: DELETE of non-max page bumps clock.
    — CDX-2 regression: UPDATE of non-max page bumps clock (raw SQL).
    — D14 end-to-end: clock advances after batch DELETE → cache rows
      stamped at the prior clock value are now stale by Layer 1.
    — CDX-6/D20: empty-result cache + INSERT matching page → clock
      advances (Layer 1 fires).
    — Documents the PG quirk: putPage's INSERT...ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE
      bumps clock by 2 (both INSERT and UPDATE triggers fire).

Test-helper update:

  test/helpers/reset-pglite.ts
    — Added page_generation_clock to PRESERVE_TABLES so the seeded
      single-row counter survives resetPgliteState between tests
      (same treatment as schema_version). Production never truncates.

Existing test contract inversions (CDX-6 / D20 fix):

  test/query-cache-gate.test.ts
    — Pre-v0.41.21.0 "vacuously valid for legacy empty snapshot"
      assertion inverted: empty snapshot now invalidates when Layer 1
      fires. Add positive CDX-6 regression test (empty-result + INSERT
      matching page).
    — SQL shape regression: page_generation_clock in Layer 1 (negative
      regression guard: MAX(generation) FROM pages MUST be gone).
    — Empty-snapshot reject guard:
      `qc.page_generations <> '{}'::jsonb` present; the old
      `qc.page_generations = '{}'::jsonb OR` shortcut MUST be gone.

  test/e2e/cache-gate-pglite.test.ts
    — Pre-v0.41.21.0 "legacy row serves vacuously" test inverted:
      legacy rows now invalidate on first clock advance post-upgrade.
    — CDX-1 regression: DELETE bumps clock → cached query for
      surviving pages invalidates.
    — CDX-2 regression: UPDATE-to-non-max-page bumps clock → cache
      invalidates.
    — CDX-11 comment fix: drop misleading "hard delete is admin-only"
      framing; gbrain sync hard-deletes on every run.

Engine parity extension:

  test/e2e/engine-parity.test.ts
    — deletePages parity: same input set, both engines return same
      string[] of confirmed-deleted slugs (D6).
    — resolveSlugsByPaths parity: same Map on both engines.

* dx(test-runner): heartbeat shows real progress instead of 0p 0f

Bun's default test reporter doesn't print per-test markers — only a
single shard-end summary block when you pass it a file list. The
existing heartbeat tried to count `^[[:space:]]+✓` lines as a live
pass-count proxy, but bun never emits them in the multi-file mode this
runner uses, so every mid-run heartbeat showed `0p 0f` for the entire
12-20 minute wallclock. Users (and agents polling the runner) couldn't
distinguish "still bootstrapping" from "wedged" from "almost done."

Fix: parse three complementary real-time signals instead.

  1. Total files this shard was assigned — parsed from the
     `[unit-shard N/M] running X files` banner that run-unit-shard.sh
     echoes before invoking bun test. Available from second 1.

  2. PGLite initSchema() count — proxy for "test files started so far."
     Each PGLite-using test file's beforeAll triggers one initSchema(),
     which logs `Schema version 1 → 106 (101 migration(s) pending)`.
     Undercounts because not every test file opens a PGLite engine
     (covers ~30-60% of files in practice), but it's the only real-time
     progress signal bun's default reporter leaves in the log. The
     output uses a `~` prefix to convey "approximate count."

  3. Log size in KB — strictly monotonic liveness signal that works
     even when the PGLite count is still 0 (early-shard startup before
     the first initSchema fires).

  4. Per-shard elapsed time — formatted as MmSSs.

New mid-run heartbeat line:

  [heartbeat]  [s1: ~62/190f 476KB 12m31s] [s2: ~63/190f 513KB 12m31s] ...

When a shard finishes, the heartbeat upgrades to its final summary
including pass/fail counts from bun's end-of-shard summary block:

  [heartbeat]  [s1: done ✓ 2807p 0f] [s2: done ✓ 2784p 0f] ...

Portability: BSD awk on macOS doesn't support `match($0, /re/, arr)`
with the array sink — that's a gawk extension. The total-files parser
uses sed instead so the runner stays portable to the default Mac toolchain.

Helpers are pure functions and unit-testable in isolation: pass a log
file path, get the parsed number. No mocking. No bun runtime required.

* fix(schema): reorder migration_impact_log AFTER minion_jobs (CI green)

Pre-existing bug in master's SCHEMA_SQL ordering, surfaced by CI on
this PR but lived silently on master since v0.41.18.0.

migration_impact_log declares `job_id BIGINT REFERENCES minion_jobs(id)`,
but its CREATE TABLE was at line 658 while minion_jobs's CREATE TABLE
was at line 778. On any fresh-install initSchema() the FK target
didn't exist yet:

  psql:/tmp/schema.sql:672: ERROR: relation "minion_jobs" does not exist

postgres-js's `unsafe()` aborts the multi-statement batch on the first
error response, so every CREATE TABLE after migration_impact_log
(including minion_jobs itself) never ran. Every subsequent CLI
subprocess that opened a connection then crashed with
`relation "minion_jobs" does not exist` on its first query.

Why master CI sometimes passed: the per-shard advisory lock + the
test setup's `engine.initSchema()` second pass (which runs the
migrations array) would eventually create minion_jobs via the v5
`minion_jobs_table` migration. From there migration_impact_log would
land via migration v103 with its FK resolving correctly. But CLI
subprocesses spawned by mechanical.test.ts's Parallel Import block
open their OWN connections and run a fresh `engine.connect() →
initSchema()` — that path runs SCHEMA_SQL FIRST and aborted at the
same forward-reference error before the migrations array could repair.

Fix: relocate the migration_impact_log CREATE TABLE + its two indexes
to AFTER the minion_jobs CREATE TABLE block (lines ~865), keeping
the rest of the schema layout intact. PGLite schema (pglite-schema.ts)
already had the correct ordering — only Postgres SCHEMA_SQL needed
the move.

Verified: fresh-DB local repro that previously failed 31/34 tests
with `relation minion_jobs does not exist` now passes 78/78 in
test/e2e/mechanical.test.ts.

Garry Tanandgarrytan-agents a7b79b66d4 feat: v0.41.19.0 Supavisor Retry Cathedral (#1537)
Engine-level retry primitive that closes the v0.41.17 production incident
where ~3,000 wiki links + timeline entries were silently lost per dream
cycle on a 16K-page brain. Supavisor's circuit-breaker takes 5-10s to
recover; the prior single-500ms-retry shape couldn't survive it.

ARCHITECTURE
============

Retry becomes a data-primitive contract, not a caller responsibility.
postgres-engine.ts + pglite-engine.ts now self-retry inside addLinksBatch,
addTimelineEntriesBatch, and upsertChunks. Every caller — current AND
future — inherits retry-for-free. CI lint guard `scripts/check-no-double-retry.sh`
fails the build if anyone re-wraps an engine batch method (preventing
3×3=9 retry amplification on incomplete reverts).

CODEX-HARDENED DEFAULTS
=======================

BULK_RETRY_OPTS = {maxRetries:3, delayMs:1000, delayMaxMs:10000,
jitter:'decorrelated'}. Total worst-case wait ≈12s covers full Supavisor
recovery window. Decorrelated jitter (AWS-style uniform(base, prevDelay*3)
capped at maxDelay) replaces 'full' which allowed near-zero retries that
re-hit the still-recovering breaker.

AbortSignal threading from MinionWorker.shutdownAbort.signal through
engine method opts → withRetry → abortableSleep. SIGTERM aborts sleeping
retries instead of blocking deploys for up to delayMaxMs.

OBSERVABILITY
=============

`~/.gbrain/audit/batch-retry-YYYY-Www.jsonl` records every retry event
(success-after-blip AND exhausted-retries). Built on the v0.40.4.0
audit-writer cathedral. Privacy posture: never logs slugs / page IDs /
content (mirrors shell-audit.ts).

`gbrain doctor` learns `batch_retry_health` check. Reads last 24h
(not 7d — codex H-9: avoid permanent noise from one historical blip).
Thresholds: ok (zero or <3 same-site), warn (>=3 same-site OR >=5
cross-site), fail (>=20 sustained breaker). Surfaces bad GBRAIN_BULK_*
env at startup (codex M-10). Corrupt-JSONL tolerant.

30-day audit pruning hooked into the dream cycle's purge phase (codex H-8
— implements the 'pruning convention' for real).

OPERATOR TUNING
===============

GBRAIN_BULK_MAX_RETRIES (int >= 0; 0 disables retries for debugging)
GBRAIN_BULK_RETRY_BASE_MS (int > 0)
GBRAIN_BULK_RETRY_MAX_MS (int >= base)

Bad values throw GBrainError with paste-ready fix hints at doctor startup,
not at first-retry mid-cycle.

VERIFICATION
============

- bun run verify: 28/28 checks green (includes 2 new lint guards:
  check-no-double-retry, check-batch-audit-site)
- bun run test: 11453 pass / 1 pre-existing flake (schema-cli.test.ts —
  confirmed by running on clean master, NOT introduced by this wave)
- bun run test:slow: 40/40 including new test/core/retry-stress.slow.test.ts
  (100 batches × 30% blip rate × decorrelated jitter, zero row loss)
- bunx tsc --noEmit: 0 errors

REVIEWS
=======

- CEO review (SELECTIVE EXPANSION): 4 cherry-picks proposed, 4 accepted
- Eng review (2 passes): 10 findings, 0 critical gaps, architectural
  pivot from per-site to engine-level wrap
- Codex independent review: 23 findings; 10 critical/high absorbed
  (decorrelated jitter, 12s backoff window, AbortSignal, idempotency
  proof, backfill unification, typed audit-site enum, doctor expiry
  thresholds, audit pruning, env validation at doctor startup)

PR #1523 closed and absorbed (@garrytan-agents original extract.ts fix
preserved via co-author trailer; 5 test cases moved to test/core/retry.test.ts
with assertions adjusted for the v0.41.19.0 BULK_RETRY_OPTS defaults).
