* feat(mcp,context): ambient recall — context_pack + delta frozen verbs + boundary runtime (#1)

Two new frozen MEMORY_VERBS (context_pack, delta) on the pull surface + a
Claude Code hook boundary runtime on the push surface, sharing one stateless
assembler core (assembleTurnContext mode: turn|pack|delta) and a keyset
session cursor (migration v126). World-only by default; include_private
gated fail-closed to trusted-local. protocol_version stays 1 (additive
5→7 verbs). Survived three adversarial review waves.

* v0.45.7.0 feat(mcp,context): ambient recall — context_pack + delta frozen verbs + boundary runtime (#1)

Two new frozen MEMORY_VERBS (context_pack, delta) grow the frozen set 5→7
without a wire bump — all seven stamp protocol_version: 1. context_pack
assembles a deterministic, zero-LLM, budget-packed bundle (entity cards +
open threads + hot facts) for a set of standing entities; delta returns
only what changed since a timestamp for cheap heartbeats, with a
per-session keyset cursor for at-least-once delivery. A boundary runtime
wires these into Claude Code lifecycle hooks (SessionStart warm pack,
PreCompact entity banking for post-compaction rehydration); Codex and any
MCP host pull the same verbs at their own boundaries. World-only by
default on all arms; include_private widens only for local trusted
callers. Migration v126 adds session_context_state (additive).

Includes the coverage close-out wave (~55 tests): real-serve compact→
session-start round trip over the live socket, --surface verbs stdio
session pinning exactly 7 tools fail-closed, HTTP-transport verb calls
with per-token cursor isolation, Postgres engine-parity for keyset
pagination + the session-cursor table, migration v126 shape + rewind
test, sub-second latency gates, CLI-level invocations, rendered-protocol
boundary assertions, and a live-Codex boundary-call check. The wave
caught and fixed three real bugs: the delta CLI wedging on first wake
(floating GC promise racing engine teardown), the compact hook probing
the PGLite socket on a Postgres config with a leftover database_path,
and the verbs-surface banner hardcoding a stale verb count.

Also the /document-release sweep: stale "five verbs" → seven across the
protocol doc, README, INSTALL, DEPLOY, the Claude Code MCP guide, and
the query skill; deferred scope filed in TODOS.

* fix(release): bump openclaw.plugin.json to 0.45.7.0 — the sixth version location

The #4033 merge auto-resolved the OpenClaw plugin manifest at master's
version while the trio moved to 0.45.7.0, failing the manifest drift test
on CI shard 4. Register the file in CLAUDE.md's version-locations table
(five → six) so every future ship and merge re-bumps it with the trio.

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.

* 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.

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

* 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.

* 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.

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

* 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

* 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).

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

* 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.

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).

Cathedral 1 stage 3/4 (#cathedral-1)

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

* 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)

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

* 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.

Cathedral 1 CI fixes (#cathedral-1)

* 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.

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

* 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
merged tree (95 commands; picks up `protocol` and the `--surface`
help-text mentions from the verbs work).

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>

* docs: document gbrain connect + connect-probe in CLAUDE.md Key files (v0.42.2.0)

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,

* 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.

* 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.

* docs: two-funnel coding-agent onboarding (Claude Code / Codex)

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
Shipped in the tutorials index.
