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].

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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
  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.

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.

* 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.

* fix(security): serve --http hides the generated admin token from non-TTY output by default (#2624)

Generated admin bootstrap tokens printed into container/log-aggregator
stdout on every headless start. shouldSuppressBootstrapPrint now defaults
to hidden unless stderr is an interactive TTY; env-sourced tokens are
never printed; --print-admin-token is the explicit escape hatch for
capturing the value on a trusted non-TTY start; --suppress-bootstrap-token
still overrides everything. Unit-tested across all five postures.

* fix(security): legacy bearer tokens honor permissions.takes_holders over serve --http (#2529)

GBrainOAuthProvider.verifyAccessToken never returned takesHoldersAllowList,
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.

* 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(auth): keep tokenEndpointAuthMethod terminal in the register-client destructure (PKCE structural contract)

The #2016 absorb appended source/federatedRead after
tokenEndpointAuthMethod; test/fix-wave-structural.test.ts pins
tokenEndpointAuthMethod as the final destructured field (v0.36.1.x #1077
PKCE regression contract). The added fields move into the regex's
optional-middle slot.

Taking master's v0.42.74.0 oauth.test.ts (its #2529 implementation) dropped

test/operations-trust-boundary.test.ts.

* 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.

Cross-model doc review caught stragglers: docs/TESTING.md still said

timeout default (600s -> 3000s), and didn't name the new
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.

* fix(test): rescue lane survives CI — strip ::group:: prefixes, satisfy the bun-test-timeout guard

Two CI-only breaks from the master merge: (1) under GITHUB_ACTIONS the
shard wraps file sections as ::group::path.test.ts, so the rescue pass
extracted literal ::group:: non-paths that matched zero test files —
failing_files_in_log now strips the prefix; (2) master's new
check-bun-test-timeout guard greps for bare 'bun test' and tripped on
run_rescue's comment text (the invocations themselves carry

* fix(test): shard-mechanics tests disable mem-adaptation — CI's 7GB runner collapsed explicit 2 shards to 1

The runner deliberately adapts even explicit --shards to available memory
(GBRAIN_TEST_NO_MEM_ADAPT=1 is the escape hatch); on GitHub's ~7GB runners
that collapsed the tests' 2-shard sandbox runs to 1 shard, breaking every
'shard 1/2:' expectation while passing locally. The tests pin shard
MECHANICS with tiny synthetic files, so they now set the escape hatch;
the one test that checks the mem banner overrides it back on.
