* feat(ai): recipes resolve any model — remove the native-recipe runtime allowlist
Frontier models ship weekly; a curated models: array can never stay current.
assertTouchpoint now checks only the provider's touchpoint capability (anthropic
has no embeddings, voyage has no chat) and never gates on the model id. Any id
the user names goes to the provider, which is the real authority on what
exists — a nonexistent model surfaces as the provider's own model_not_found at
call time, and gbrain models doctor live-probes the configured models for a
pre-flight check.
With the gate gone, the entire extendedModels bypass machinery is dead and
deleted: the _extendedModels registry, registerExtendedModel,
registerConfigSelectedChatModel (+ its one caller in the contextual-reindex
handler), both registration loops, and the tier-resolution loop that existed
only to feed them. This also structurally closes the per-task-key gap where
models.think / models.dream.* / facts.extraction_model selections were rejected
while identical models.default selections worked.
Recipe models: arrays remain informational — models[0] default selection for
--model <provider> shorthand, guard-test fixtures pinning the repo's own
hardcoded defaults, and gbrain providers list display. gateway.rerank() keeps
its own model-list check deliberately: each listed reranker id maps to a known
request/response wire shape.
unknown_model still fires for providers lacking the touchpoint, so every probe
reason stays reachable; tests that pinned the allowlist rejection now pin the
pass-through contract (or the missing-touchpoint trigger).

* v0.44.1.0 feat(ai): recipes resolve any model — remove the native-recipe runtime allowlist
Frontier models ship weekly; a curated models: array can never stay current.
assertTouchpoint now checks only the provider's touchpoint capability and never
gates on the model id — any id the user names goes to the provider, and a
nonexistent one surfaces as the provider's own model_not_found at call time
(gbrain models doctor stays the token-free pre-flight).
The extendedModels bypass machinery is deleted end to end, which also closes
the per-task-key gap: models.think / models.dream.* / facts.extraction_model
selections now behave exactly like models.default. think's graceful sentinel
surfaces the thrown AIConfigError's own message + fix instead of generic key
advice, so a provider 4xx is never key-blamed. gateway.rerank() keeps its own
model-list check (each listed id maps to a known wire shape).
Ship chores: VERSION/package.json → 0.44.1.0, CHANGELOG entry, gitleaks action
pin refreshed to current v2.

`gbrain auth register-client --scopes` only split on whitespace, so the
comma-joined form the CLI's own registration hint recommends
(`--scopes read,write,admin`, printed by init.ts) fell through as a
single unrecognized token and was rejected with `Unknown scope
"read,write,admin"` -- self-contradicting the hint.
parseRegisterClientArgs now normalizes comma- and/or whitespace-separated
--scopes input to the canonical space-joined form before it reaches
registerClientManual's assertAllowedScopes gate. The shared
parseScopeString (RFC 6749 space-delimited OAuth wire format, also used
for untrusted DCR/refresh/request-scope parsing) is left untouched.
Input that normalizes to zero tokens (comma-only, whitespace-only, or
empty) is rejected at the parser boundary with a clear usage error,
rather than silently registering a client with no usable scopes --
closing a hole that a comma-only first pass at this fix left open
(caught by review).
Tests cover comma/space/mixed forms parsing to the identical scope set,
a genuinely unknown scope still being rejected, and zero-token input
being rejected.
* fix(enrich): keep entity-name candidates on a single line
extractEntities()'s namePattern used \s+ between capitalized words,
which matches across line breaks. A capitalized word ending one
paragraph and a capitalized word starting the next were spliced into
one bogus multi-word candidate whose name embedded the line break(s).
Scope the pattern to same-line whitespace: [^\S\r\n ]+
(spaces, tabs, NBSP, other Unicode space separators, but not \n, \r,
or the Unicode line/paragraph separators U+2028/U+2029). Same-line
multi-word names and NBSP-separated names still match; any line break
between two capitalized words now stops the match, same as it already
does for punctuation.
Surfaced during single-user dogfooding on a ~100-page install
(v0.44.0.0): extractEntities produced ~1,620 raw candidates, and these
paragraph-spanning splices were the largest single source of noise.
* fix(enrich): exclude vertical tab and form feed from name-splice guard
The line-scoping fix in the prior commit excluded CR, LF, and the
Unicode line/paragraph separators (U+2028/U+2029) from the same-line
whitespace class, but still treated VT (U+000B) and FF (U+000C) as
same-line whitespace since \s matches them and they weren't in the
excluded set. Winters<VT>Reyes and Winters<FF>Reyes were still spliced
into one bogus candidate, contradicting the "any line break stops the
match" intent.
Add \v and \f to the excluded set, so the pattern now excludes every
vertical whitespace code point (CR, LF, VT, FF, U+2028, U+2029) while
still retaining horizontal whitespace (spaces, tabs, NBSP, other
Unicode space separators) between same-line words.
* fix(cycle): price BudgetMeter through the canonical table, not the derived Anthropic view
BudgetMeter estimated submit cost with `estimateMaxCostUsd`, which reads
ANTHROPIC_PRICING. CLAUDE.md defines that table as a DERIVED view of the one
canonical chat-pricing table, so any non-Anthropic model was unpriceable here
even when CANONICAL_PRICING carries its rates — and an unpriceable model does
not merely lose accuracy, it takes the `cost === null` branch and returns
`allowed: true` with cost 0. The cap is off for that model.
Measured on 130d321d: openai:gpt-5.2 and deepseek:deepseek-chat are both in
CANONICAL_PRICING and both absent from the derived view, so the gate was
disabled for them. claude-opus-4-7 resolves through either.
The estimate now goes through canonicalLookup, falling back to the existing
call for anything canonical does not carry. Anthropic numbers are unchanged
by construction — the derived view is generated from canonical — and a test
pins that parity.
Deliberately NOT changed: a model absent from canonical too keeps the
documented warn-and-allow bypass, with the same BUDGET_METER_NO_PRICING
warning, the same submit_unpriced ledger event, and the same
`unpricedSubmits` counter. Whether those should be priced at a conservative
fallback rate instead — as synthesize-concepts (#3915) and skillopt/preflight
already do — is a policy call, not this fix. The ledger schema is untouched;
`test/fixtures/dream-budget-schema-v1.jsonl` still describes it.
Related to #2149 (self-closed by its reporter without a fix; the pricing half
of what it described is still live). Distinct from #2504, which is the
opposite failure mode in BudgetTracker: hard-throw on a missing entry rather
than silent bypass.
Verification on 130d321d (v0.42.76.0):
- bun test budget-meter + auto-think-phase + propose-takes + model-pricing -> 93 pass / 0 fail
- red check: with upstream/master's budget-meter.ts -> 10 pass / 1 fail on the new gating test

* fix(cycle): guard the non-finite estimate, and correct the docs the change makes stale
Codex review, both verified before applying:
- Both pricing tables are object literals, so a model id colliding with an
inherited key ('constructor', 'toString', '__proto__') resolves to a truthy
Object.prototype value whose .input/.output are undefined and the rate
arithmetic yields NaN. Measured: canonicalLookup('constructor') returns a
function, and estimateMaxCostUsd('constructor', …) already returns NaN on
master, so the shape predates this change — but it sits on the path this
patch touches. `cumulative + NaN` is NaN and `NaN > budget` is false, so one
such submit would disable the gate for the rest of the cycle. The estimate
helper now treats a non-finite result as unpriceable, which routes that one
submit into the documented warn-and-allow branch and leaves the running
total finite. Regression test submits the poison id, then a submit that must
be denied. The same shape on the estimateMaxCostUsd path is left alone.
- Two docs asserted the old behaviour and are now current-state: the
anthropic-pricing.ts header ("non-Anthropic models … bypass … runs
unbounded") and the KEY_FILES.md entry for the same file. Both now say the
bypass applies only when canonical has no rates either. `bun run
build:llms` regenerated; the bundles are unchanged because KEY_FILES.md is
linked rather than inlined, and test/build-llms.test.ts passes.
Verification on 130d321d (v0.42.76.0):
- bun test budget-meter + auto-think-phase + propose-takes + model-pricing + build-llms -> 106 pass / 0 fail
- bun run typecheck -> clean

* fix(config): register sources.default as a known key + validate it at set time
`gbrain config set sources.default <id>` printed
WARN: writing unknown key "sources.default" with --force.
Nothing in gbrain reads this.
That last sentence is false. `source-resolver.ts` tier 5 reads
`getConfig('sources.default')` on every unqualified call, and
`gbrain sources default <id>` writes exactly this key. The key was
simply missing from KNOWN_CONFIG_KEYS.
The message matters more than the missing entry: pinning
`sources.default` is the documented way to stop tier 5.5
(sole-non-default-source auto-routing) from silently moving where
unqualified writes land. An operator who hits that and reaches for
this knob is told the knob does nothing.
- Register the exact key, not a `sources.` prefix. A prefix would
bless arbitrary unread `sources.*` keys and weaken the unknown-key
guard this list exists to provide.
- Validate at set time, mirroring `runDefault()`: reject a malformed
id, and reject one that is not registered. Without this, registering
the key would turn `config set` into a way around the check
`sources default` already performs — and tier 5 calls
assertSourceExists, so a typo would surface later as a throw on
unrelated commands rather than at the point of the mistake.
Tests: membership, the absence of a blanket `sources.` prefix, and the
three set-time paths (malformed / unregistered / accepted).
* fix(config): keep flag literals out of the new error text + refresh flag registry
CI caught this: the #2185 freshness guard failed because the generated
flag registry no longer matched a fresh generator run.
Two separate causes, only one of them mine:
1. Mine. The "source is not registered" message named `--path` while
suggesting `gbrain sources add`. The generator scans command sources
for flag tokens, so a flag named in prose silently gets granted to
`gbrain config` — exactly the prose-bleed class #3902 closed for
safety flags. Reworded to carry no flag literals. (The first attempt
at a warning comment reproduced the bug by quoting a placeholder
flag in the comment itself; that is gone too.)
2. Pre-existing. Regenerating also adds `--federated-read`, which comes
from `src/commands/auth.ts` and appears in no line this branch
touches. The committed registry on master is stale with respect to
its own sources, so the guard fails for any branch cut from master
until it is refreshed. Committed here because the guard's contract is
"committed registry == fresh generator run"; flagged in the PR body
so it is not mistaken for part of this change.
`bun test test/cli-flag-validation.test.ts` — 24 pass / 0 fail.
* fix(config): propagate lookup failures, describe the real id grammar
Round-2 review findings:
- Dropped `.catch(() => null)` around `fetchSource`. It turned a
connection failure / permission error / SQL regression into
"source is not registered", sending the operator after a
registration problem that doesn't exist while the real fault was
swallowed. `fetchSource` already absorbs the one expected
legacy-column case; everything else should surface as itself.
Test added: `executeRaw` throws → the error propagates and nothing
is written.
- The malformed-id message quoted `[a-z0-9-]{1,32}`, which is looser
than `SOURCE_ID_RE` (`-wiki` reads as legal under the printed rule
but is rejected). Now states the actual grammar.
- Tightened the accept-path assertion from `toContainEqual` to an
exact `setCalls` equality.
Also corrects the previous commit's explanation of the flag-registry
drift: `--federated-read` is NOT pre-existing master drift. It enters
`config`'s flag set because this change adds
`await import('../core/source-id.ts')`, and that module's comment
mentions the flag — the generator follows imports, so prose-bleed
crosses module boundaries. Master is not stale; this branch pulled it
in. The regenerated entry is deterministic and harmless (`config` is
flag-validation-exempt), and stays in this PR because the guard's
contract is "committed registry == fresh generator run".

* fix(jobs): embed --dry-run --background embedded for real
`runEmbed` serializes the flag into the job payload
(`dryRun: cleanArgs.includes('--dry-run')`), but the registered `embed` worker
handler never read it back — it forwards slug/slugs/all/stale/sourceId/pace and
onProgress, and nothing else. So `runEmbedCore` ran without `dryRun`: a
backgrounded preview called the embedding provider and wrote vectors. API spend
and NULL->vector mutation from an invocation whose entire purpose was neither.
One line: the handler now passes `dryRun: !!job.data.dryRun`.
Fourth instance of the class in #3594, which lists three (jobs prune, unify-types,
sync) and says "filing the class, because fixing them one at a time will not stop
the fourth". The shape here is a fourth variant: the guard is neither late nor
defaulted wrong — it simply is not wired to the flag the CLI already sends.
The test mirrors test/jobs-unify-types-default-dryrun.test.ts (the #1575 fix in
that same issue) and asserts the side effect rather than the return value, which
is #3594's stated reason this class escapes tests. It seeds real stale chunks
first and asserts countStaleChunks > 0, so the dry-run path cannot short-circuit
and pass the write assertion vacuously.
Two independent signals, so it bites in either environment. Without embedding
credentials a real run throws EmbeddingCredentialError from the preflight, so
reaching the assertion at all proves the dry-run branch was taken — a preview
has no business needing an API key. With credentials the run would succeed and
write, and the chunk count catches it.
Verification on 130d321d (v0.42.76.0):
- bun test jobs-embed-background-dryrun + jobs-unify-types-default-dryrun + jobs-nice-flag -> 7 pass / 0 fail
- red check: with upstream/master's jobs.ts -> 0 pass / 1 fail

* fix(jobs): report what the embed job did, and make the guard hermetic
Codex, both verified:
- The handler returned a constant `{ embedded: true }`, so after the dryRun
fix a dry run reported that it embedded — the same lie in miniature, visible
through `gbrain jobs get`. It now returns the real counts. `embedded` keeps
its key and stays truthy on a real run (it is the count now, 0 on a dry run).
- The guard was only sound where no embedding provider is configured:
runEmbedCore catches provider failures into `failures` and writes nothing, so
an unfixed handler pointed at a broken provider would also leave the write
count unchanged and pass. A mocked transport with a call counter closes that
window — a real run must reach embedBatch, a dry run must not.
Verification on 130d321d: typecheck clean, verify 34/34, focused jobs+embed
tests 36 pass / 0 fail, and still 0 pass / 1 fail against upstream/master's
jobs.ts.

* test(jobs): rename to *.serial.test.ts — mock.module needs it
check:test-isolation rule R2: mock.module() leaks across files inside a shard
process, so a file using it must be serial. The hermetic embed transport added
in the previous commit introduced one; embed.serial.test.ts is serial for the
same reason.
Caught by `bun run verify`, which I ran after pushing rather than before —
same sequencing mistake as earlier on this branch. Gates now, all green:

* fix(cli): --help required a configured brain for five commands
`gbrain models --help` on a machine that has not run `gbrain init` exits 1
with "No brain configured. Run: gbrain init". So do watch, skillopt, maintain
and extract-conversation-facts. That is the state a reader is most likely to
be in when they reach for --help.
Mechanism: cli.ts's per-command --help block prints the generic usage stub
only for CLI_ONLY commands NOT in CLI_ONLY_SELF_HELP. Members of that set are
meant to print their own help, so they fall through to the normal dispatch --
which connects the engine before the handler runs. Each of these five already
opens with a --help branch (models honours it first by explicit comment,
watch and skillopt on line 1 of the handler); the connect gate made that
branch unreachable.
Dispatched pre-connect now, through a small table keyed by command. The engine
is never read on the help path, so a placeholder is passed rather than
widening five signatures -- skillopt already declares `BrainEngine | null` for
this reason.
Measured on 130d321d with an empty GBRAIN_HOME:
before: models/watch/skillopt/maintain/extract-conversation-facts -> exit 1, 0 lines
after: exit 0, 15 / 21 / 94 / 11 / 43 lines of their own help
Seven other members of the set (brainstorm, config, embed, lsd, migrate,
pages, retrieval-upgrade) still need a brain, because their handlers have no
--help branch to reach. Fixing those means either writing help or dropping
them from CLI_ONLY_SELF_HELP so the generic stub answers -- a call for the
maintainer, not something to guess at here. They are pinned in the test as a
tripwire rather than omitted, so the coverage list cannot drift in either
direction: fixing one fails the test until its entry moves.
The guard runs the CLI with an empty GBRAIN_HOME and asserts exit 0 plus real
help output. Behaviour, not a declaration -- membership in CLI_ONLY_SELF_HELP
was itself unverified, which is how five commands sat in a set whose whole
meaning is "prints its own help" while printing none.
Verification on 130d321d (v0.42.76.0):
- bun test cli + cli-flag-validation + cli-help-without-brain -> 54 pass / 0 fail

* test(cli): stop the no-brain guard inheriting a database URL
Codex: an empty GBRAIN_HOME is not sufficient. loadConfig also honours
GBRAIN_DATABASE_URL and DATABASE_URL (config.ts:550-551), so a developer or CI
runner exporting either would let the CLI connect, the positive assertions
would pass on master, and the guard would be inert.
Both are now unset for the spawned process. Verified the guard still regresses
under the leak it was vulnerable to: with DATABASE_URL exported and
upstream/master's cli.ts, the run is 5 fail / 1 pass.

* fix(test): type the spawn env so the delete compiles
process.env is narrowly typed here, so deleting GBRAIN_DATABASE_URL /

My previous commit was pushed with this error present — typecheck and verify
were run after the push, not before. Verified now:

* test(cli): spawn with --no-env-file so a local .env cannot re-inject the URL
Codex: unsetting GBRAIN_DATABASE_URL / DATABASE_URL on the spawn env is not
enough, because bun auto-loads .env from cwd and GBRAIN_DATABASE_URL is
honored unconditionally (config.ts:550). A developer's local .env would put
back exactly what the deletes removed, and the guard would go inert. Flag
semantics confirmed from `bun --help`: '--no-env-file Disable automatic
loading of .env files'.
Verified: typecheck clean, verify 34/34, guard 6 pass / 0 fail, and still
5 fail / 1 pass against upstream/master's cli.ts.

* test(cli): run the tripwire spawns concurrently
Seven sequential CLI spawns were most of this file's wall clock and each is
independent (own temp GBRAIN_HOME). 4.05s -> 2.87s locally; the saving is
larger on a loaded CI runner.
Gates run BEFORE this push, unlike twice earlier on this branch: typecheck
clean, verify 34/34, 6 pass / 0 fail, and still 5 fail / 1 pass against
upstream/master's cli.ts.
Note on the shard 9 failure on the previous run: it exited 123 with no
reported test failure, the last output being an unrelated capture test hitting
a placeholder API key. Shard 9 passes locally with this change, and passes on
three sibling PRs off the same base, so I have not been able to attribute it.
Pushing this change re-runs it; if it reproduces in the same place the cause is
here and I will chase it rather than re-run again.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test(cli): make the guard serial so it does not re-shard the suite
Root cause of the shard 9 failure on the two previous runs, chased rather than
re-run as promised.
scripts/run-unit-shard.sh documents 'hash-disjoint' sharding but assigns by
sorted-index modulo: `i % shard_m + 1`. Adding ONE test file shifts every
index after it, so 933 of 1103 files change shard. Shard 9 kept
capture-runcapture.test.ts but got a different set of neighbours, and that file
does a real embed attempt — under CI's placeholder OPENAI_API_KEY it reached
the network, failed, and took the shard process down with exit 123 and no
reported test failure.
Not my code's behaviour: capture-runcapture passes in isolation with my cli.ts
AND with master's (26 pass each), and shard 9 passed on four sibling PRs off
the same base that add no test file. Any PR adding a sharded test file can
surface this.
Serial files are excluded from the partition (`-not -name '*.serial.test.ts'`),
so the sharded set is back to master's 1103 files and shard 9 to its original
composition. Serial is also the honest classification: this guard spawns twelve
CLI subprocesses.
Gates before push: typecheck clean, verify 34/34, 6 pass / 0 fail, still
5 fail / 1 pass against upstream/master's cli.ts.

* fix(frontmatter): drop five Apple Notes rules that cannot change an outcome
DIRECTORY_RULES carried five subfolder rules whose every field equals what
the generic 'apple notes/' rule already produces. The generic rule assigns
type/source/date/title and tags the first path segment lowercased and
hyphenated, which is exactly what these five spelled out by hand. They read
as deliberate overrides and are not.
Measured across prefix x body x filename (45 cases): title, type, date,
source and tags are identical with and without them. The only field that
moves is `matchedRule`, the debug label naming which rule fired -- and it
must move, because the rule that fires is now the generic one. Nothing
persists that field: serializeFrontmatter writes title/type/date/source/tags
only, and the one behavioural consumer (frontmatter.ts:475) compares it
against the literal '(default)', which neither value is.
Removing them exposed an existing assertion as vacuous: the ordering test
named 'apple notes/yc/' and asserted its index is below the generic rule's.
findIndex returns -1 for an absent prefix, and -1 is below any index, so the
test kept passing while testing nothing. Rewritten to require every subfolder
rule to precede the generic one, and to require that the set is non-empty.
Adds a guard that recomputes the equivalence rather than listing prefixes, so
a rule that re-derives the generic output cannot be added back silently.

* fix(frontmatter): mirror production normalization in the redundancy guard
Codex review, both gaps verified against the implementation before fixing:
- inferFrontmatter lowercases BOTH sides before `startsWith`
(frontmatter-inference.ts:297), so a rule authored as 'Apple Notes/YC/'
matches at runtime. The guard compared prefixes case-sensitively and
skipped it.
- The generic rule tags parts[1] only (frontmatter-inference.ts:332), so a
nested rule 'apple notes/yc/archive/' carrying tags ['yc'] is equally
redundant. The guard derived from the whole remainder ('yc/archive') and
did not match.
The predicate now lowercases the prefix and derives from the first segment,
and it is extracted so the guard can be pointed at synthetic rules. A second
test does exactly that: both missed spellings must be flagged, and three
genuine overrides (different tag set, differing field, non-Apple prefix) must
not be. A guard that never fires is indistinguishable from a guard that
cannot fire; this makes the difference observable.

* fix(frontmatter): normalize the optional strategy fields in the guard
Codex round 3, verified: inferFrontmatter defaults datePattern and
titleStrategy to 'filename' (frontmatter-inference.ts:310, :317), so an
omitted field and an explicit 'filename' describe the same rule. The guard
compared them literally, which meant a redundant rule could escape detection
by simply leaving them out.
Both sides are now normalized through the same default, and the guard's own
self-test covers the escape: the same redundant rule with those two keys
deleted must still be flagged.

a path under a removed prefix now reports 'apple notes/', every field
serializeFrontmatter writes is unchanged, and the value is still not the
literal '(default)' that frontmatter.ts's catch-all skip keys on.

`gbrain embed --stale --dry-run` emitted a synthetic `onProgress(1, 1, 0)`.
The CLI latches its `embed.pages` total from the first callback, so the
progress stream announced a single page next to a summary naming every stale
chunk:
{"event":"start","phase":"embed.pages","total":1}
{"event":"tick","phase":"embed.pages","done":1,"total":1,"pct":100}
[dry-run] Would embed 60 stale chunks
Measured on a fresh PGLite brain with 60 unembedded pages, v0.42.76.0.
docs/progress-events.md defines `total` as "the total item count if known at
start" and says it is omitted when the work has no total up front. Omission is
provided for; asserting a wrong value is not. The number is also internally
inconsistent with this same path's own result: the existing test asserts
`pages_processed === 0` for a dry run, with the comment "we don't enumerate
pages in dry-run (cheaper pre-flight)".
The synthetic call is dropped, so a dry run emits no `embed.pages` phase --
matching the zero pages it processes. No consumer requires the phase to appear:
progress-tail.ts names it only as an example, and the minion path
(jobs.ts:1553) passes its own callback from the real embed loop.
Adjacent but distinct from #1459, which is about the denominator of a REAL
`--stale` run being latched from the first callback while pages keep arriving
(numerator exceeds it). Same phase, different cause; this change does not
address that one.
Verification on 130d321d (v0.42.76.0):
- bun test test/embed.serial.test.ts -> 35 pass / 0 fail
- red check: with upstream/master's embed.ts -> 34 pass / 1 fail
- live: `embed --stale --dry-run --progress-json` on the 60-page brain now
prints the summary only, no embed.pages events

* docs(search): telemetry header still promised an exit flush that was removed
The module header for the search-telemetry rollup writer describes the
buffer as "flushed periodically (60s OR 100 calls, whichever first) AND on
process exit via beforeExit/SIGINT/SIGTERM with a 2-second timeout cap."
`ensureExitHook` two hundred lines below says the opposite, and is the
current behaviour: "Lossy by design: skip the buffered drain entirely on
process exit", with the signal handlers dropped too. The beforeExit drain
was removed because it kept short-lived CLI processes alive waiting on a DB
write, which hung test/e2e/claw-test.test.ts.
So the file has documented an exit flush it does not perform. A reader who
stops at the header concludes every recorded search reaches search_telemetry.
The header now states current behaviour and names the consequence, pointing
at the existing ensureExitHook rationale rather than restating it. Comment
only; no code path changes.

- bun test test/search-telemetry.test.ts -> 16 pass / 0 fail

* docs(search): sweep the rest of the file's exit-hook claims
Codex review: correcting only the module header left three more comments in
the same file describing hooks that ensureExitHook does not install, and
stated the loss window too narrowly.
- header: loss is not "fewer than 100 buffered calls". flush() clears
`buckets` before awaiting the write, so a snapshot handed to an in-flight
flush is lost too, and coalesced flushes let the buffer exceed the
threshold. Stated as: anything not yet committed is lost on exit.
- line ~26 attributed the downside to a "hard crash" and pointed at the
methodology doc. Checked: docs/eval/SEARCH_MODE_METHODOLOGY.md contains no
such explanation, and with no exit drain an ordinary exit loses data too.
- the TelemetryWriter docblock said the timer "and exit hooks" install
lazily.
- stop() said it uninstalls exit hooks; it clears the timer and the buffer.
Still comment-only.

* docs(search): qualify the threshold trigger and the test-only helpers
Codex round 3, both verified against the code before applying:
- `flush()` returns the in-flight promise at its first line, before the
bucket swap, so a record that crosses FLUSH_THRESHOLD_CALLS while a write
is running coalesces onto it and never drains the new bucket. "100 calls,
whichever first" read as a guarantee; it is a trigger. The flush docstring
now says the coalesced caller does not get its own drain, and notes that
the pre-write swap is why an uncommitted snapshot cannot be recovered.
- `stop()` said "Called from tests / shutdown". Its only caller in src/ and
test/ is `_resetTelemetryWriterForTest`; nothing shuts the writer down in
production.
- `flushOnExitForTest()` said it was "retained as a no-op"; it calls
`flush()`. It is also unreferenced — the only occurrence in the tree is
its own definition. Comment corrected; left in place rather than deleted,
since removing an exported test helper is beyond a comment fix.

* docs(search): the flush timer installs on setEngine, not on the first record
Codex round 4, verified: ensureTimer() has exactly one call site and it is
inside setEngine(). A caller can wire an engine without ever recording, as
the telemetry tests do, so attributing installation to the first record()
was wrong.
Verification on 130d321d: typecheck clean, verify 34/34, telemetry tests
20 pass / 0 fail.

`gbrain --help` documents `list [--type T] [--tag T] [-n N]`. The command does
not read `-n`; the limit flag is `--limit`, which `gbrain list --help` already
documents. Nothing in the tree parses `-n` for this command (the only `-n` in
src/ is integrations.ts's alias for --dry-run).
Measured on a fresh PGLite brain with 60 pages:
list -n 5 -> 50 rows (the default)
list -n 300 -> 50 rows
list --limit 5 -> 5 rows
list --limit 300 -> 60 rows
Not silent, but not usable either. The run prints `output truncated at 50 rows
(default 50). Pass an explicit limit`, and a reader who reached for -n because
the help said so has already done exactly what that message asks.

* 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/

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

* 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).

* 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.

The MEMORY_VERBS v1 quickstart flag (gbrain serve --surface verbs) was added to

a sibling of retrieval_reflex_health — assigned to SKILL_CHECK_NAMES.

* 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.

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

* feat(search): steer concept/landscape questions to query — descriptions, docs, lookup chain, CLI nudge (#2416)
The search/query routing guidance shipped a stale and backwards model:
SEARCH_DESCRIPTION still led with "Keyword search using full-text search"
(search has been cheap-hybrid — vector + keyword + RRF, expansion off —
since D4/D15), and the mandatory lookup chain in brain-first.md ordered
search-first with query only "if search is thin". For concept/landscape
questions ("all the X that do Y"), keyword+vector recall always returns
something, so the fallback never fires and expansion-recoverable
synonym-phrased matches drop silently.
- operations-descriptions.ts: fix the stale SEARCH lead (cheap-hybrid, no
LLM expansion); both constants now route concept/synonym/landscape
questions to query, cap the claim honestly (both are top-K — exhaustive
enumeration belongs to list_pages), and keep every pinned redirect.
- brain-first.md: lookup chain is intent-driven (exact token → search;
concept/landscape → query FIRST), cost claims corrected, and the
anti-pattern is explicit: a nonzero search count is not a completeness
signal. Same sweep in brain-ops/SKILL.md and query/SKILL.md, which
duplicated the backwards order.
- search-modes.md: decision tree + quick-ref updated to the cheap-hybrid
reality, new Tricky Spot #6 (count ≠ completeness), example names moved
to placeholder people per the privacy convention. RETRIEVAL.md gets the
matching one-liner.
- query-intent.ts: looksConceptShaped + conceptNudge — deterministic
concept-shape classifier in the existing classifier home, tuned to favor
false-negatives; cues owned by other routers (find_experts, salience
ops) deliberately excluded. cli.ts prints the hint-only stderr nudge on
BOTH result paths (local engine + thin-client routed), --quiet-gated;
search stays the cheap hot path (never auto-reroutes).
- salience-llm-routing e2e: new concept-phrasings block asserts the
descriptions actually route concept questions to query (verified live:
20/20 — all 12 personal-query regressions still route to salience ops,
all 8 concept phrasings route to query).
- KEY_FILES.md: query-intent entry updated to current state (the old
entry pointed at a renamed file); llms bundle regenerated (no diff —
entry is link-only).
- TODOS.md: MCP-envelope hint follow-up filed (remote agents are the
higher-value half; needs a return-contract change kept out of this
commit).
Verification: typecheck clean; 70 targeted unit tests + 20 live routing
evals green; all 24 check:all guards green; failing full-suite shards
triaged — think-pipeline.serial.test.ts:434 fails identically on the
clean tree (pre-existing on this branch, filed separately), the rest are
PGLite parallel-load contention that pass in isolation.

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

older #1698 stub-path test still pinned `undefined` and failed on every

Post-ship /document-release drift pass over the MEMORY_VERBS v1 +

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.

Verified findings from the /document-release Codex pass:

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 +

editing the frozen contract.
- llms-full.txt + skills.lock.json regenerated; freshness guards green.

* 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 +

* 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(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.

think as scope write; KEY_FILES names the exported findUnknownFlag.

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

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

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

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

maxOutputTokensFor() gave the 16000-token output budget only to
thinking-by-default Anthropic Claude 5 models; every other model kept the
4000 default. OpenAI reasoning models (the gpt-5 family and the numbered
o-series) bill internal reasoning tokens as output tokens counting against
max_tokens, so the 4000 cap starved think's actual answer the same way.
Add OPENAI_REASONING_MODEL_RE alongside the existing Claude-5 regex,
deliberately scoped to the gpt-5 family + numbered o-series with the
non-reasoning ChatGPT -chat snapshots (gpt-5-chat-latest,
gpt-5.2-chat-latest) excluded. Defaults (4000/16000) are unchanged and no
config knob is added; gpt-4o, other providers, and provider-prefixed
spellings outside openai:/openai/ keep 4000.
Tests pin the new 16000 cases (colon + slash forms), the chat-snapshot and
codex-mini-latest exclusions, and name/version boundaries (gpt-50, o3foo,
bare model names, openrouter-nested ids).

The T1/T2 narrative cost estimate hardcoded Sonnet rates ($3/M in,
$15/M out) regardless of which model actually answered, violating the
one-canonical-chat-pricing-table invariant. On non-Sonnet models
(e.g. openai:gpt-5.2) the ~2.4x over-estimate tripped the $1.50 budget
gate early — degrading remaining T1/T2 groups to the deterministic
template with budget still left — and persisted the inflated cost into
receipts and rollups.
The estimate now resolves through canonicalLookup(result.model), the
model that actually answered. A canonical miss falls back to Sonnet-tier
pricing (derived from the canonical table, not hand-copied), mirroring
skillopt/preflight's lookupPrice policy: conservative, non-throwing, and
it keeps the budget gate effective.
The $1.50 gate, concept-generation logic, and model resolution are
untouched (model resolution is in flight separately on the same file).

The doc comment claimed brainstorm ~$0.05-0.15 and lsd ~$0.20-0.40 while
stating it anchors on Sonnet pricing. Plugging the function's own token
budgets (3000 in/cross, 250 out/idea, 350 judge-in/idea, 200 judge-out/idea)
and the profile constants (brainstorm 4x6x3, lsd 2x12x4) into Sonnet's
canonical $3/M-in $15/M-out yields ~$0.78 and ~$0.96 — roughly 5x and
3x the stated ranges. No single model in the canonical pricing table makes
both stated ranges true, and the comment, formula, and profile constants
were all introduced in the same commit (613da940), so this was an arithmetic
slip rather than drift.
Comment-only; no behavior change. The runtime preview already prints the
real number via canonicalLookup.

* fix(pglite): in-place WAL auto-repair for the Aborted() startup crash (#223, #1670, #2575)
The 'macOS 26.x WASM bug' was a misdiagnosis: an unclean shutdown (typically
the OS-upgrade reboot) tears the data dir's WAL, and every subsequent open
fails WAL replay inside WASM with an opaque RuntimeError: Aborted(). This
ports the pg_resetwal recovery upstream rejected (electric-sql/pglite#994,
by @yestheboxer) and wires it into connect() as bounded auto-repair:
- src/core/pglite-resetwal.ts: pg_resetwal for PG17 NodeFS dirs, fail-closed
layout validation, atomic+durable writes (tmp+fsync+rename), idempotent.
- src/core/pglite-repair.ts: whole-pg_wal-dir rename backup (zero transient
disk), overwrite-order restore with mtime guard, cooldown sidecar +
episode-scoped backup retention (newest 3 episodes), and a never-throws
engine seam. Kill-switch: GBRAIN_PGLITE_WAL_REPAIR=off.
- pglite-engine.ts: verdict rename macos-26-3 -> wasm-abort, classifier now
matches the real production message (it previously fell to 'unknown'),
corrupt-beats-wasm precedence preserved, honest per-outcome error copy
incl. the failed-not-restored arm, and repair only under a cleanly-acquired
lock (new LockHandle.reaped provenance; never after reaping a holder).
- gbrain pglite-repair: manual dry-run/repair command (validate-before-lock,
serve/reaped refusals, no --force by design).
- doctor: pglite_data_dir fs-check with recurrence escalation and backup
inventory when a PGLite brain fails to connect.
- reinit-pglite: embedding flags default from file-only config so the
recovery ladder's rebuild rung works bare mid-outage.
- stringifyPgliteInitError: message-less Emscripten ErrnoError objects no
longer surface as [object Object].
Regression-tested against real brains: corrupt every WAL segment (truncate
and garbage variants), reopen, auto-repair fires, original rows readable,
process.exitCode stays contained (#2084).

* docs(pglite): replace the macOS-26.x misdiagnosis with the corrupt-WAL recovery ladder
README + INSTALL.md shipped (via #1671) the claim that PGLite is incompatible
with macOS 26.x and that a Bun/WASM fix would restore it. The real cause is
torn WAL state from the upgrade reboot, now auto-repaired in place. Rewrites
those sections around the recovery ladder (auto-repair -> gbrain pglite-repair
-> reinit-pglite -> engine switch; native-Postgres recipe kept, credit
@roysaurav), adds the ENGINES.md troubleshooting section, updates the
KEY_FILES.md entries to current truth, files the two follow-up TODOs
(SIGTERM engine-close extension; pglite upgrade blocker), and regenerates
the llms bundles.

* fix(pglite): harden WAL auto-repair (pre-landing + adversarial review)
Review-army (security/testing/maintainability/perf) + Claude & Codex
adversarial passes on the WAL-repair wave. Correctness + safety hardening,
no behavior change to the happy path:
- Live-writer safety: repair refuses any reaped lock acquisition, a corrupt
(unknowable-liveness) reap writes a cross-process quarantine marker that
gates auto-repair AND the manual command for 10 min, isProcessAlive treats
only ESRCH as dead (EPERM/malformed-pid read as alive), and a live
postmaster.pid (native Postgres) is refused. Lock heartbeat + initial write
are atomic (tmp+rename) so a torn read can't misclassify a healthy holder;
an in-flight acquisition is no longer mistaken for corrupt.
- resetWal verifies the stored pg_control CRC before trusting/re-signing it —
a damaged control file routes to rebuild instead of laundering corrupt
checkpoint counters under a fresh CRC. Atomic 'wx' writes (no symlink
follow), whole-pg_wal-dir rename backup, 64MB seg-size cap.
- Honest failure reporting: repairPgliteWal threads the real restore result
out via WalRepairError so the 'failed-restored' vs 'failed-not-restored'
message never lies; the not-restored copy names the correct restore paths.
- Episode lifecycle: episodes close on the next healthy connect (not just on
a verified repair), a gutted (restored) backup loses its pin, stale (>24h)
episode backups aren't reused, and the cooldown also caps repaired-only
crash loops. Empty backup dirs are pruned on refusal.
- Command: rejects unknown flags and valueless --path (a destructive command
must not silently mis-parse), confirm prompt goes to stderr (stdout stays
clean for --json), embedding-flag defaults come from the config file only.
- Symlink confinement extended to global/; sidecar reuse path validated
(prefix + no '..' + must still hold pg_wal); sidecar writes atomic.
- doctor recurrence escalation counts all attempts; data dir absolutized.

Fixes#3835
Use a canonical positive pull flag for sync and autopilot-cycle jobs while preserving legacy noPull payloads. Parse source config consistently so local-only sources skip pulls and PGLite remote sources still pull.

* fix(auth): honor permissions.takes_holders for legacy bearer tokens over serve --http (#2529)
The OAuth provider's legacy access_tokens branch parsed permissions.source_id
but never read permissions.takes_holders, so the /mcp dispatch site's
fail-closed default pinned every remote caller to world-only takes visibility
— set-takes-holders was a silent no-op over serve --http, in both directions
(grants above world never applied; restrictions below world didn't either).
- src/core/legacy-token-scope.ts: new parseTakesHoldersAllowList shared by
BOTH transports (the drift between the legacy HTTP transport's correct
inline parse and the OAuth provider is how this bug shipped). [] preserved
as explicit deny-all; non-array → undefined → consumer defaults ['world'].
- src/core/operations.ts: AuthInfo.takesHoldersAllowList typed field
(same ride-along as sourceId/allowedSources).
- src/core/oauth-provider.ts: legacy branch threads the stored grant.
OAuth-client tokens unchanged (no per-client storage — TODO filed).
- src/mcp/http-transport.ts: converged on the shared helper (behavior no-op).
- src/commands/serve-http.ts: sidecar cast replaced by the typed field.
- src/core/facts/meta-hook.ts: hashAllowList gives [] its own cache key
(cache identity only — payload filtering stays visibility-based).
Tests: 7 verifyAccessToken cases (grant/absent/garbage/deny-all/mixed/
oauth-client/column-default), pure-helper describe, meta-hook cache-key pin,
and a Postgres e2e (test/e2e/serve-http-takes-holders.test.ts) pinning the
issue repro end-to-end over POST /mcp — the seam that had no coverage.

* fix(agent-voice): default-deny CORS + origin gate + loopback bind in reference server (#2477)
The recipe reference server reflected any Origin into
Access-Control-Allow-Origin on every route, including the unauthenticated
side-effectful POSTs. Recipe is install_kind: copy-into-host-repo, so the
reference is the source of truth for every future install.
- Default-deny CORS: headers emitted only for exact matches against the new
AGENT_VOICE_CORS_ORIGIN allowlist (comma-separated), with Vary: Origin;
Allow-Credentials never set. Same-origin /call needs no configuration.
- Origin gate on /session and /tool: CORS headers gate response reads, not
request sends — a no-preflight "simple" cross-origin POST still executes.
Disallowed Origins now 403 before any body read / upstream fetch / tool
dispatch. No-Origin callers (curl, Twilio, native) and same-origin pages
(Origin host == Host, tunnels included) pass. DNS rebinding stays a
documented production-checklist item (TODO filed).
- Loopback-default bind: HOST env, default 127.0.0.1 (mirrors gbrain
serve --http --bind default); HOST=0.0.0.0 for containers/LAN.
- Startup log prints the bind + CORS posture; recipe md + install manifest
bumped to 0.1.1 with the production checklist rewritten to match.
Tests: test/agent-voice-cors.serial.test.ts spawns the real server twice and
pins default-deny, allowlist echo + trimming, preflight behavior, and the
gate's ordering (evil-origin 403 vs no-origin reaching the handler).

* test: agent-voice origin gate fails closed on malformed Origin (#2477)
Coverage-audit follow-up: a cross-origin POST with an unparseable Origin

* test: pin loopback-bind default + wire-level fail-closed takes default (#2529#2477)
Pre-landing review (testing specialist) flagged two revert-catching gaps:
- #2477 HOST default (127.0.0.1) had no assertion — a regression to
all-interfaces would pass every test. Capture the server's startup log
and assert the loopback bind; add a HOST=0.0.0.0 override case.
- #2529 serve-http `?? ['world']` default branch was only unit-covered.
Add a 4th e2e case: a legacy token with no takes_holders key sees
world-held takes but NOT brain-held ones over POST /mcp, pinning the
fail-closed default end-to-end. Also assert the deny-all case returns a
successful (non-error) tool result so the negatives can't pass vacuously.
Verified: agent-voice 4/4, serve-http-takes-holders e2e 4/4 (real Postgres).

* fix(auth): shared permissions decode + collision-free hot-memory cache key (#2529)
Adversarial-review hardening on the #2529 fix:
- The two transports shared parseTakesHoldersAllowList but still decoded the
permissions column differently: the OAuth provider JSON.parse'd a
string-typed value, the legacy HTTP transport didn't. On a double-encoded
jsonb string scalar (#2339 class) a deny-all token would fail open to
['world'] on the HTTP transport while the provider honored it. Extract
coerceLegacyPermissions into the shared module and route both through it, so
"the two transports cannot drift" is literally true (shared decode + shared
parse). Arrays/scalars/malformed strings → undefined (no grant).
- hashAllowList used bare sentinels ('_' for undefined, '(empty)' for []),
which collided with real holder values ['_'] and ['(empty)']. Encode
collision-free (undefined → 'none', else JSON.stringify(sorted)) so the
[]-vs-undefined cache separation the #2529 change relies on holds for every
holder value.
Tests: coerceLegacyPermissions unit cases (object/JSON-string/malformed/
array/scalar), all existing takes-holders + meta-hook + e2e suites green.

* fix(security): fence the dedup-resolved slug under the caller's own confinement
put_page's resolved-slug re-check tested `ctx.auth.boundSlugPrefixes` only.
The delegated submit_agent -> subagent context carries `viaSubagent` +
`allowedSlugPrefixes` but no `auth`, so a slug-bound client holding `agent`
scope could delegate a write and have importFromContent's dedup pre-check
redirect it onto a page outside its grant — where the disk write-through
then re-rendered the victim's file with the caller's provenance.
The re-check now applies whichever confinement the caller is actually
under (OAuth binding and/or subagent allow-list / legacy namespace) via
`slugOutsideCallerFence`, which composes the existing match rules rather
than re-deriving them. Dedup returns status 'skipped' before any DB write,
so the throw still rolls nothing back. The denial does not name the
resolved slug (slug-enumeration oracle) and reads "your write scope",
since either confinement can trigger it.

* v0.42.73.1 revert(ci): remove the PR gate — it cannot function on this repository
The gate needs an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY Actions secret for its verdict and
read-write workflow permissions to post a comment or set a label. This
repository grants neither, and both are admin-only, so it can only ever skip.
It also caused a real incident before that was understood: a read-only token
turned every API call into a 403, the code treated that as a crash, and the
check went red on an outside contributor's PR four times with no comment
explaining why. v0.42.73.0 fixed the crash, but a check that runs on every PR
and can never reach a verdict does not earn a place in the repo.
Removes the workflow, the script, its type surface, and its test file. The code
is preserved in git history at v0.42.73.0. If it is ever restored, the
mechanical half (intent/screenshot policy, title rule, red flags) should render
to the Actions job summary rather than a comment — that needs no token
permission and no API key.
CONTRIBUTING.md's intent-paragraph and screenshot requirement is unchanged and
stands as written; it is enforced by maintainers reading PRs, as before.
typecheck clean, verify 34/34, llms bundles regenerated.

forward (0.42.73.1); the v0.42.72.1 CHANGELOG entry stays as historical

osv-scan passed on the last two release PRs and fails on this one, so these are
newly published, not tolerated debt: 2 High + 4 Medium across fast-uri (3.1.4 →
3.1.5), hono (4.12.25 → 4.12.34), ip-address (10.1.1 → 10.3.1), and admin's
postcss (8.5.10 → 8.5.23). All four are transitive and pinned through the
overrides block, so the fix is the pin, not a dependency addition.
Resolved: fast-uri@3.1.5, hono@4.13.0, ip-address@10.4.0, postcss@8.5.25.
The gate's first live runs put a red X on an outside contributor's PR five
times over, with no comment explaining why. This repo's GITHUB_TOKEN is
read-only, so every comment and label call returned 403; the throw reached the
top-level handler as exit 2.
The gate is advisory. A repository permission problem is an operator condition,
never a statement about the PR under review. 401/403/404 from GitHub now emit a
loud operator-facing warning naming both blockers (workflow permissions and the
missing ANTHROPIC_API_KEY secret) and exit 0. A genuine outage or a bug in here
still fails visibly at exit 2. Pinned by four tests including the entry-handler
routing; mutation-tested.
* fix(envelope importer): honor the envelope's own counts, and stop a second import destroying the first
Two ways this importer lost conversation history at exit 0 with zero stderr
bytes. Both reproduced against output from the real memvelope converter, not
hand-authored envelopes — the blind spot that let them through review.
F1. envelope-v0 makes meta.conversation_count and meta.message_count mandatory:
the envelope states its own totals. The script read neither. A file declaring
353 conversations and 9412 messages that actually held one of each imported
one, exited 0, and printed a receipt internally consistent with the reduced
output. The receipt also counted only pages, never messages, so every
message-level loss was invisible by construction — a conversation arriving with
one turn instead of forty still writes exactly one page.
Each declared count is now checked on its own, before the first write. A count
that disagrees with the contents, or that is present but is not a non-negative
integer, refuses the import (exit 2). A count that is simply absent cannot be
compared, so the envelope still imports — but stderr names the field whose half
of the check was skipped, because an unchecked import must never look like a
checked one. The receipt reports messages as well as pages, and says so out
loud when messages read exceed messages written.
F2. filesWritten was per-process and the default outDir is a fixed literal, so
a second import into the same directory clobbered the first with no read-back
and no warning. The trigger is the positional fallback conv-N, which fires
whenever c.id is not a non-empty string — and the spec is explicit that id is
string | null and that a converter MUST NOT synthesize one, so null is the
CONFORMING shape, not malformed input. The reference converter emits it for any
ChatGPT export lacking conversation_id and id. Filenames then key off array
position rather than identity, and two unrelated exports both put their first
conversation at conv-1.
Target files are now examined before anything is written. Byte-identical
content is a re-import; a page this importer wrote from the SAME conversation
id is a refreshed export legitimately updating its own page. Anything else — a
foreign file, or one of ours whose conversation id cannot be matched — refuses
the import (exit 2) and writes nothing. Refusing rather than disambiguating
keeps the importer from inventing an identity the envelope declined to state,
and the remedy is a different output directory.
Both checks run before the first write, so a refused import leaves no partial
output to be mistaken for a whole one, and does not even create the directory.
Verified against all 12 golden fixtures from the memvelope reference converter
and 7 envelopes freshly produced by running that converter over synthetic
ChatGPT and Claude exports: every one imports at exit 0 with zero stderr bytes,
and all 19 produce byte-identical pages to the previous script. The guards do
not false-positive on legitimate producer output.
Known limit, documented in the header: the target-file check is check-then-
write, not atomic. Two simultaneous imports into one directory can both pass it
— measured 19 refused / 21 raced over 40 trials, against 0 / 40 before.
17 new tests; the 13 existing tests are unchanged and still pass. No new
dependencies: package.json and bun.lock are byte-identical.
* fix(envelope importer): close the three holes the adversarial pass found in the guards
An eight-agent refutation round attacked every claim made for the previous
commit. Four claims survived untouched; three did not, and all three were in
code that commit introduced. Each is reproduced, then closed, with tests.
Identity was compared on the TRIMMED conversation id, because that is what the
filename slugs and what the frontmatter recorded. So two ids differing only by
surrounding whitespace — both copied verbatim by the reference converter, both
schema-valid — looked like one conversation to the guard, and the second import
destroyed the first at exit 0 with zero stderr bytes. The surviving page then
recorded an id that appeared nowhere in the envelope that wrote it. The
frontmatter now records the id verbatim, as the spec requires, and identity is
matched raw. The filename still slugs the trimmed form, so no page's bytes
change for any id without surrounding whitespace.
The identity scan required a page to start with exactly `---\n`. A page THIS
IMPORTER WROTE that later picked up CRLF line endings or a UTF-8 BOM — a git
checkout with core.autocrlf, a cross-platform sync, an editor save — was
therefore reclassified as foreign, and one such page refused the ENTIRE
envelope at exit 2. The previous script treated the same mutation as a harmless
overwrite, so the guard had turned a cosmetic byte change into an unrecoverable
block. Both are normalized away before the scan. The message for a file that
genuinely cannot be recognized no longer asserts "was not written by this
importer" — a claim this code cannot make, and one that was false for exactly
the pages it was being printed about.
The new message-delta warning announced "N message(s) in the envelope are not on
disk" whenever pages collided. Duplicate ids are conforming input — the spec has
merging never deduplicate — so converting an old export together with a newer
one, which is what the memvelope CLI tells users to do, fired it routinely while
every unique turn was on disk. It now states what it knows: the overwritten
pages carried N messages that are not on disk, and if those were earlier copies
the surviving page may already hold them. The raw tally stays, since hiding it
is what made message-level loss invisible to begin with.
Two header claims were false as written and are corrected: message text is
byte-verbatim for 18 of the 19 producer envelopes, not all 19 — the
lone-surrogate fixture writes U+FFFD, unchanged from before and out of scope —
and sequential coverage is no longer described as complete. Three further limits
are now stated rather than left implicit: an id-less conversation cannot be
refreshed in place (refused, not applied — the deliberate trade, since the same
ambiguity resolved the other way is the defect being fixed); a conversation
whose created_at moves orphans its earlier page rather than updating it; and a
hand-written lookalike is indistinguishable from a page this importer wrote.
Rejected after reproducing it: a "silent loss" via a duplicate top-level
conversations key in the JSON text. JSON.parse keeps the last such key, which is
language semantics, is identical on the previous script, and cannot be produced
by JSON.stringify.
36 tests pass, 0 fail. The 13 pre-existing tests remain byte-identical as the
first 306 lines of the file. All 19 real-producer envelopes still produce
byte-identical pages. package.json and bun.lock unchanged.
* fix(envelope importer): write pages gbrain's own conversation parser can read
Every page this importer wrote declared `type: conversation` — which opens the
gate to conversation-facts extraction, chronicle eligibility and the
conversation_format_coverage check — and then presented a turn header
**Assistant** (2025-11-02T14:22:51.000Z · m2):
matching none of the 17 built-in patterns in the conversation parser. The
extractor parsed zero messages, incremented `pages_skipped`, and said nothing.
Pages were stored and searchable; no fact was ever extracted from any of them.
Measured on two throwaway PGLite brains fed the same 13 conversations, one
written each way: `conversation-parser scan` goes from 13/13 `no_match` with 0
messages to 13/13 `imessage-slack` with 33; `extract-conversation-facts
--dry-run` goes from "Skipped 13 page(s)" to every page segmenting and reaching
the extractor; `doctor` conversation_format_coverage goes from warn "13/13 ...
match NO built-in pattern" to ok "13 pages: imessage-slack=13".
The turn header is now `**Me** (2025-11-02 14:22):`, the one shape that parser
reads. 24-hour, not 12-hour-with-AM/PM: both match and both were measured to
reconstruct all 24 hours exactly, so the tie is broken on the fact that 24-hour
is a substring of the envelope's own `ts` (no hour arithmetic, so the 12/0
boundary cannot be got wrong) and sorts chronologically within a day.
That header can carry a wall clock and nothing else, so per-message identity
moves to frontmatter as an array of maps:
messages:
- id: "m1"
ts: "2025-11-02T14:22:51.000Z"
An array, not a map keyed by id — a map discards order and collapses the
duplicate ids the spec permits. Consumers index it by position.
Every scalar is JSON-encoded, so every timestamp is quoted. Unquoted, js-yaml
reads an RFC 3339 scalar as a JS Date: microseconds truncate, a +05:30 offset
normalises away, and gbrain's own coerceFrontmatterString slices a Date to 10
characters — the time of day gone. It is sticky, too. The suite fails if a
timestamp is ever emitted unquoted, and carries a sentinel proving that guard
fires.
Also drops the `---` rule between turns: it is a non-blank line matching no
pattern, so the parser appended it to the preceding message and every extracted
text ended `...\n---`.
Verified over all 12 golden fixtures from the memvelope reference converter
(exit 0, zero stderr, 33/33 messages, every id and ts byte-identical after the
round trip) and over fresh envelopes built by running that converter over
synthetic vendor exports. 52 tests green, up from 36.

* fix(envelope importer): build the offset-shifted header clock without Date.UTC
Self-review of the branch, before the refutation round. `headerClock()` is the
only place in this script that does arithmetic on a timestamp, and its offset
branch had two ways to emit a header that is off — or that does not parse at
all.
`Date.UTC` applies MakeFullYear: a year of 0..99 is read as 1900+y. The shape
regex accepts any four digits, so `0050-01-01T00:30:00+05:30` was rendered as
1949-12-31 — the page moved by nineteen hundred years, silently, at exit 0.
Built with the UTC setters instead, which do not remap.
And `getUTCFullYear()` returns `49`, not `0049`. The pattern's regex requires
`\d{4}`, so an unpadded year emits a header that matches nothing and the turn is
appended to its neighbour as a continuation — one message where there were two.
The year is now padded like every other field.
Neither is reachable from the reference converter, which emits `Z`. Both are
reachable from a conforming envelope: the spec types `ts` as any date-time
string, and RFC 3339 offsets are legal.
18 new tests pin the clock on its own: every Z / offset / designator-less form,
both day-boundary crossings, `+0530` without a colon, the sub-100 year in both
branches, and the six unusable-`ts` shapes that must fall back to the
conversation's date at midnight rather than fabricate a clock or drop a turn.
Three more hostile ids added — U+2028, U+2029 and U+0085 are line breaks in
YAML 1.1 and JSON.stringify emits all three raw, so they are the sharpest
version of the injection the quoting exists to stop. js-yaml 3.14 does not
honor them as breaks; measured, not assumed.
72 tests pass, 0 fail. Adjacent suites (conversation-parser, markdown,
extract-conversation-facts, doctor backlog): 380 pass, 0 fail.

* docs(envelope importer): name the built-in pattern count the header claims
'None of the built-in patterns' is a claim about a number the reader cannot
see. There are 17, and `gbrain conversation-parser list-builtins` is how to
count them.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(envelope importer): stop the conversation title manufacturing a turn
An adversarial round against the new format. Three claims in the file header
were wrong or overstated, and one of them was a defect.
The H1 heading is the only place a third-party string reaches the BODY — every
frontmatter value is JSON-escaped, the heading was interpolated raw. That was
merely untidy while nothing parsed the body. Now that the turn headers are
legible, a title carrying a newline manufactures a TURN, and one that lands
AHEAD of every real one, so `messages[0]` in frontmatter names content the user
never sent and every id after it is off by one. Measured: a 2-message
conversation titled "Real Title\n\n**Me** (2020-01-01 09:00): INJECTED" parses
to 3 turns, the first attributed to 2020. The heading is flattened to one line;
the verbatim title, newlines and all, is still recorded in frontmatter.
The empty-title fallback also disagreed with itself — "Untitled conversation"
in frontmatter, "Conversation" in the heading, two names for the same missing
thing, and parseMarkdown prefers the body's H1 when frontmatter has no title.
One fallback now.
Corrected in the header, because a false claim there is worse than a limit:
"the frontmatter array still holds exactly the real turns, so the two can be
reconciled by count" was FALSE. parse.ts picks one pattern per page, scored on
the first 10 body lines, and only re-scores full-body under 0.3 — so a pasted
Slack or Telegram snippet inside one message only has to win that window, and
the length of the real conversation is irrelevant. With four `**[09:0N] Name:**`
lines quoted inside message 1: 40 real turns are replaced by 4 fabricated
speakers at fabricated times, at exit 0, with phase regex_match, so
pages_skipped stays 0 and doctor's conversation_format_coverage reports OK. And
at 4 real turns against 4 pasted lines the COUNTS AGREE while every speaker and
timestamp is fabricated — which is exactly the check the old wording offered as
the remedy. The table is in the header now, with what count-comparison does and
does not catch. Closing it needs a parse.ts change, not an importer change.
"every timestamp is QUOTED" was true only for conforming input. JSON quotes
strings; an envelope whose `ts` is a number emits `ts: 1762093371000` unquoted.
That is a YAML integer, not a Date, so it is lossless and carries no truncation
hazard — but the claim as written was wrong, and the behavior is now pinned by
test rather than described.
Two more limits stated: minute resolution is the parser's ceiling, not this
format's — every branch of buildIso hardcodes :00 and no built-in captures
seconds, so two turns in the same minute collide (claude-basic m1 15:02:00 and

* fix(envelope importer): range-check the per-message clock, and arm two guards
Second adversarial round. The shape regex counts digits; it does not know a
calendar. `2025-99-99T99:99:00Z` was copied straight into a turn header — and
`imessage-slack` MATCHES that header, so gbrain stored an instant no calendar
contains. `2025-02-30` is the sharper one: it yields a VALID JS Date, silently
shifted to March 2. The script already validates `created_at` before it reaches
a header, with a comment explaining why; the per-message clock is the same
untrusted surface and is used far more often. It is validated now, by round
trip — a date that does not survive its own UTC round trip was never a date.
Also removes a provably unreachable `Number.isFinite` check: over the whole
space the shape regex admits, the constructed instant is always finite.
Two guards had no test that fires. Both are now pinned:
- The `created_at` validation. Dropping it let a hostile value break the turn
header it was supposed to anchor, and the whole suite stayed green.
- The determinism guard — the reason TS_SHAPE exists rather than
`new Date(string)`, which parses a designator-less date-time as LOCAL time.
The one test that touched it only caught the mutation because this box is
America/New_York; on a UTC runner it passed. TZ is now pinned explicitly and
the case runs under four zones including UTC and Pacific/Kiritimati.
94 tests pass, 0 fail.

* docs(envelope importer): correct five claims the adversarial round falsified
None of these change behavior. All five were statements in the file header that
an independent pass could not reproduce, and a false claim in a header is worse
than a limitation, because a reader has no way to tell.
"the field is read nowhere outside builtins.ts", of `time_format`, was flatly
false: src/commands/conversation-parser.ts reads it twice. Both are display —
`list-builtins` prints it — and the operative half stands, since parse.ts never
reads it and converts off the captured AM/PM group instead. Said that way now.
"turns averaging more than ~19 non-blank lines fall below the floor" was
optimistic by one line: measured line by line, 18 parses (0.0526) and 19 does
not (0.0499), because the H1 is in the denominator too.
"a fallback when `ts` is null" understated the condition. It fires for any
string this script will not read a clock out of — a date with no time, a basic-
format 20251102T142251Z, an impossible 2025-02-30 — silently preferring the
conversation's date over a value that looked like a time.
"Every emitted scalar is JSON-encoded" was false for the four keys the script
writes itself (`type:`, `origin:`, `date: null`, `messages: []`), which are
literals under its own control rather than envelope data.
"collapses the duplicate ids the spec permits" cited the wrong half of the
spec: duplicates are tolerated for CONVERSATION ids; message ids are positional
and unique within their conversation. The real argument for an array is that
order IS the join. And since a conforming envelope's message id is derivable
from its index, `ts` is the only genuinely new value the array carries — worth
saying rather than implying more is being rescued than is.
Also: the STATUS block quoted `gbrain conversation-parser scan` as producing a
13-page aggregate; it takes one slug and has no aggregate form. The numbers
were reproduced per-slug, so the receipt now shows the command that produced
them.
And two tests changed by this branch still used `page.split('---')[1]` to reach
the frontmatter — the exact idiom this branch's own helper documents as unsound,
since it cuts on the substring anywhere including inside a quoted value. Both
now go through that helper.
94 tests pass, 0 fail. Adjacent suites: 402 pass, 0 fail. All 12 golden
fixtures still exit 0 with zero stderr and 33/33 messages parsed.

* fix(envelope importer): break a duplicate id on updated_at, not array position
A merged re-export kept the STALE copy, deterministically.
The memvelope CLI's own USAGE tells users to pass every downloaded export
at once; folder expansion sorts by filename (cli/convert.mjs expandInputs)
and SPEC.md rule 8 forbids the converter from re-sorting conversations
afterwards. Every automatic duplicate-namer a browser or OS gives a second
download of `conversations.json` inserts a character that sorts below `.`
— ` (1)`, `(1)`, `-1`, ` 2` — so the RE-EXPORT lands first in
`conversations[]` and the ORIGINAL lands last. Resolving the collision by
array index therefore threw away the newer copy every time, not half the
time.
Reproduced with an envelope built by the reference converter from two
ChatGPT downloads named the way a browser names them: 4-turn re-export at
index 0, 2-turn original at index 1, and the 2-turn page reached disk at
exit 0.
`updated_at` is a required conversation key in envelope-v0, is populated
by both vendor paths of the reference converter, and was read by nothing
here. It now decides, compared as an INSTANT (a `+05:30` value sorts above
a `Z` value it precedes) at full sub-second resolution (the converter
emits milliseconds always).
The tiebreak applies only when BOTH copies carry an orderable value.
Equal, absent, non-string or unparseable on either side falls back to
array order — a missing timestamp is not evidence of being older, and
preferring the copy that has one is a guess dressed as a rule. `created_at`
is not a secondary key: it is identical in both copies of a re-export.
The collision warning is not quieter — it is louder. It now names which
copy survived, on what basis, and with both timestamps, because
"overwriting the earlier page" is false whenever the tiebreak fires. The
run summary says "discarded" rather than "overwritten" for the same
reason: the losing copy is now sometimes never written at all.
`updated_at` is still written to no page. That is a separate, tracked gap.
Receipts: 107 pass / 0 fail (94 pre-existing, unweakened; 13 new, red-first
against cd88d1de at 96 pass / 11 fail). Over all 12 golden fixtures from
the reference converter plus the repo's sample, output pages, stdout,
stderr and exit code are byte-identical to cd88d1de — this fires only on a
filename collision.
* docs(envelope importer): name the extraction path, the UTC day, and drop a contradicted key claim
R2. The header promised `type: conversation` "keeps pages eligible for
conversation-facts extraction ... after sync" and stopped there, which
reads as "sync extracts facts from these." It does not. The accepting
path is `gbrain extract-conversation-facts`, run by hand, and its
autopilot wrapper — the `conversation_facts_backfill` cycle phase — is
opt-in and OFF by default. Both names verified against upstream/master
before writing them: src/cli.ts:1964 dispatches the command,
src/core/cycle/conversation-facts-backfill.ts:4-6 and :34 document the
phase as "Default OFF" with `enabled (false)`, and doctor.ts:3373 reads
an absent key as disabled. What the type actually buys is admission to
`ALLOWED_TYPES`, and that is now what the header says.
R3. The page `date` and every turn header are the UTC calendar day, not
the user's, and the limits block did not say so. Reproduced on this box:
a conversation held at 19:30 on Sunday 2 November 2025 in California is
`created_at: "2025-11-03T03:30:00.000Z"`, and the page comes out
`date: "2025-11-03"` — a Monday — with a Monday turn header. The output
is byte-identical under TZ=UTC, America/Los_Angeles, Asia/Kolkata,
Pacific/Kiritimati, Pacific/Midway and Europe/London (one sha across all
six), so this is the format's day, not the importing machine's.
Named as unfixable, with the reason rather than an apology: envelope-v0
renders every timestamp as `...Z` and SPEC.md rule 3 says why — "The
source's true offset is unknowable, and UTC is the only
machine-independent choice." A source offset is normalised away before
this script opens the file, and the vendor fields the reference
converter reads carry none to preserve: over the 22 conversation-level
timestamps in its own input fixtures, 16 are bare unix-epoch numbers, 4
end in `Z`, 2 have no designator, and 0 carry a numeric offset. No fix
is invented; the one available guess (the importing machine's zone)
would break determinism.
R4. Deleted the claim that "the id is the natural key," which the header
disclaimed 127 lines later in its own identity limit. The key is the
PAIR — date and id name the file — and the surviving limit already says
so correctly. The same claim appeared a second time as an in-code
comment at the filename site ("the date only leads as a ... prefix; the
id carries uniqueness"); deleting one statement of a false claim and
leaving its twin is a half-correction, so both went. Flagged as a
deviation: R4 as written names the header only.
The bullet R4 emptied also still described the pre-R1 duplicate-id
behaviour, so it is rewritten to the behaviour that now ships.
Doc-only: 107 pass / 0 fail, unchanged.
* fix(envelope importer): correct what the adversarial gate falsified in R1-R4
Six independent refuters plus a completeness critic ran against 81deb83d.
Two of my own corrections were themselves false, one broke a repo-wide CI
gate, and one real defect nobody had measured turned up. Everything here
was re-derived on this box before it was written.
BLOCKER — test/fixtures/memvelope/merged-re-export.mve.json shipped with
no trailing newline, taking scripts/check-trailing-newline.sh from green
to red. It is wired into `bun run check:all`, `bun run check:newlines` and
three call sites in scripts/ci-local.sh, so the branch could not pass the
project's own local CI. Now `trailing-newline check: ok (1547 files)`.
BLOCKER — the R2 paragraph claimed `ALLOWED_TYPES` "requires"
`type: conversation`, "so a page typed anything else is not merely un-run,
it is ineligible." False. ALLOWED_TYPES (extract-conversation-facts.ts:142)
admits six types — conversation, meeting, slack, email, imessage,
imessage-daily — and :569 defaults to the whole list. A new false claim
about a named upstream constant, in a branch whose purpose is deleting
false claims. Rewritten to say what the type actually buys: admission, not
a trigger, and one admission among six.
Also in R2: "extracts no facts from any of them until one of those two is
invoked" is unsafe as an absolute. facts/eligibility.ts ORs the type test
with RESCUE_SLUG_PREFIXES = ['meetings/','personal/','daily/'], so a page
written into an outDir syncing under one of those IS picked up by a plain
sync — subject to the 80-char MIN_BODY_CHARS floor, which nobody in the
gate noticed either. Both named; the default outDir is unaffected and now
says so.
MAJOR — R4's replacement sentence, "Two conversations carrying the SAME id
land on one filename", is false and reinstated the exact contradiction R4
removed. Verified: one id at two created_at dates writes TWO files and
zero collisions. The filename is the PAIR.
MAJOR — the same bullet stated the fallback condition backwards ("when
neither carries an orderable one"). The code (`a === null || b === null ||
a === b`) falls back when EITHER side is unorderable, or when the two are
equal, and the function's own doc said so correctly 460 lines down.
MAJOR — the R3 census was wrong by four in both figures: 22/16 should be
26/20. chatgpt-split.json is an array of PARTS, each an array of
conversations, and my counter walked the parts as if they were
conversations and scored zero. Recounted with the level flattened: 13
conversations, 26 conversation-level timestamps, 20 bare unix-epoch, 4 Z,
2 no-designator, 0 numeric offset. The conclusion is unharmed and slightly
stronger. Also narrowed "not fixable, here or upstream" to "not fixable
HERE" — a converter CAN hold a source offset and this format drops it by
design, which is a decision, not an impossibility.
MINOR (found independently by four of six refuters) — the message-delta
warning still said "the overwritten page(s)", the exact word this branch
deleted from the summary line one commit earlier for being false whenever
the tiebreak keeps the earlier copy. Now "discarded" in both places.
R1's own limits, all newly documented rather than newly introduced:
- when only ONE copy carries an orderable `updated_at` the rule changes
nothing and the stale copy still wins. `updated_at: null` is
producer-reachable (both normalizers end in `|| null`) though it is 0
of 13 in the reference corpus. Refusing to promote a copy for merely
HAVING a timestamp is the deliberate choice; the header now states
what it costs instead of implying coverage the rule does not have.
The argument is also repaired: both copies come from ONE converter
run, so the asymmetry is the vendor's and its direction is
unrecoverable — not the weaker "an older converter" reasoning.
- the reduction is PAIRWISE. With every copy orderable it is a true
maximum in all six permutations; with an unorderable copy in the
middle transitivity is lost and [later, absent, earlier] keeps
`earlier`. Now documented and pinned by a 7-case test.
- the tiebreak is WITHIN one envelope. Across runs, check 2 still lets
an older export refresh a newer page at exit 0 with no warning at all.
Test-file note, stated plainly: exactly ONE pre-existing test was touched
— 'the message-delta warning ties itself to the ... pages' — whose
assertion moved from 'overwritten page(s) carried' to 'discarded page(s)
carried' to track the deliberate message change. Its claim is unchanged
and nothing was loosened. Run against the untouched cd88d1de script in a
detached worktree, the shipped test file is 100 pass / 14 fail: that one
renamed pre-existing test plus 13 of the 20 new ones.
Receipts: 114 pass / 0 fail. Adjacent suites (conversation-parser x6,
markdown x3, extract-conversation-facts, doctor backlog) 301 pass / 0
fail. Over all 12 golden fixtures from the reference converter plus the
repo's sample, pages, stdout, stderr and exit code remain byte-identical
to cd88d1de.
NOT fixed here, escalated instead: a message body containing any of
gbrain's four timeline sentinels truncates the conversation at
markdown.ts before parse.ts runs. Reproduced against a pristine
`git archive upstream/master`: five sentinel forms each take a 4-turn
conversation to 2 parsed turns with the tail reclassified into the page's
timeline, at exit 0 with stdout reporting "4 message(s)"; two controls
stay clean. The re-grade graded this class NOT-A-DEFECT on a different
measurement and the packet puts its drop table out of scope, so this is
the RE's call, not a change smuggled in here.
* test(envelope importer): make the offset guard discriminate, cover the leap-second ceiling
The test named "an offset-bearing updated_at is compared as an instant, not
lexically" asserted only `kept === 'second'`. Array order keeps the second copy
too, so the assertion could not tell "compared as an instant" from "not compared
at all". Measured on the parent commit: dropping the offset alternation from
UPDATED_AT_SHAPE — so an offset-bearing value stops parsing and the pair falls
back to array order — leaves the file at 114 pass / 0 fail. The guard was
decorative against exactly the failure it is named for.
It now runs both offset signs and asserts the VERDICT STRING, which names the
branch that decided. The negative-offset case additionally makes the
offset-bearing copy win from array position 0, an outcome the fallback cannot
produce. Both cases fail under that mutant, and under the sign-arithmetic
mutant that the old test did already catch.
The `s > 60` leap-second ceiling had no test at all. Three cases now pin it.
Two of them pin the ROLL ACROSS THE MINUTE BOUNDARY rather than inside it:
23:59:60Z IS 2027-01-01T00:00:00.000Z, so a copy carrying each of those two
strings is a TIE and falls to array order, and 23:59:60Z outranks
23:59:59.999Z by one millisecond. Asserting only that 23:59:60Z beats
23:59:59Z would have pinned nothing but f(60) > f(59) — measured: making the
seconds field contribute milliseconds instead of seconds (`s * 1000` -> `s`)
destroys the date roll and still passes such a test at 117/0. The third case
is 23:59:61Z, the only value in the file rejected solely by the ceiling.
NOT CLOSED, so nobody reads this as a mutation-clean function: two sibling
guards in `updatedAtInstant` remain decorative on this commit. Deleting either
`if (h > 23 || mi > 59) return null` or the offset-range `if (oh > 23 || om >
59) return null` leaves the file green. They are the same class; they are not
this commit's scope.
Header prose only, no behavior change:
- The Output-layout paragraph said the filename is the (date, id) PAIR. Both
halves are slugged, so two DISTINCT ids reach one filename and the tiebreak
then discards one of two UNRELATED conversations while stderr calls the id
"not unique". Stated on the SLUG, not the raw id, because raw ids predict
nothing either way: `AbC-123`/`abc-123` differ at character 1 and collide,
while sixty `-` plus `a` and sixty `-` plus `b` agree on all of their first
60 characters and do not collide — `slug` strips leading/trailing `-`
before it truncates. Check 2 below already named this class; it REFUSES
what the tiebreak resolves.
- The header explains at length why check 2 refuses to resolve an id-less
`conv-1` across runs, then the code resolves that same name WITHIN one
envelope. Both sides are now stated together, with the asymmetry named:
the within-run path is loud and has `updated_at` on both copies, which is
exactly the evidence check 2 lacks. Also widened — any id that SLUGS to
`conv-N` collides with the positional name, and any id that slugs to EMPTY
enters that namespace while still recording a non-null id in frontmatter.
- "two different values" -> "two different INSTANTS": two different strings
can name one instant (`09:00:00Z` and `14:30:00+05:30`) and fall back.
- The collision block's own comment still glossed "mapping to the same
filename" as "carrying duplicate ids" — the equation the header now
corrects. Fixed in place.
Suite: 114 pass / 0 fail before, 118 pass / 0 fail after.

* test(envelope importer): remove a duplicate helper tsc rejects
Two functions were both named writeEnvelope. Bun hoists the later declaration,
so the earlier raw-envelope form was already dead at runtime - every call was
executing the fields form, which rebuilds the envelope from .conversations and
.meta and therefore handles both call shapes. All 118 tests passing under bun
is the proof; tsc's TS2393 was the only honest complaint.
Deleting the dead function keeps runtime behavior byte-identical. Removing it
also unmasked the two type mismatches TS2393 had hidden: envelopeWith declared
a return type of unknown for a value with a concrete shape, and writeEnvelope's
parameter did not admit the memvelope key that full-envelope call sites pass.
Both signatures now state what the values actually are.
bun run verify: 2/34 failing, identical to upstream/master's own baseline
(check:skill-brain-first and check:conversation-parser fail on the untouched
base as well).

* fix(envelope importer): recognize our own pages after gbrain re-serializes them
The pre-file sweep proved existingPageIdentity() accepted only this importer's
own JSON.stringify output. gbrain rewrites pages it holds - export --dir, the
DB-only restore path, and put_page write-through all re-emit frontmatter
through gray-matter, which writes a UUID as a plain unquoted scalar and an
all-digit or boolean-looking id single-quoted. 16 of 17 id shapes, and 13 of
13 golden-fixture ids, came back in a form JSON.parse rejects - so the page
turned foreign, a later refresh refused the whole envelope at exit 2, and the
error's remedy advised deleting gbrain's own copy, provenance and body edits
included.
idScalar() now reads the three shapes a YAML round trip produces: our own
JSON, YAML single-quoted (doubled-quote escape), and plain scalars. YAML
null shapes and the empty string stay foreign, exactly as before - refusal
remains the answer for anything not confidently recognized.
Red-first: both new tests (plain-scalar UUID, single-quoted digits) fail on
the parent and pass at this commit. 120 pass / 0 fail; typecheck clean;
bun run verify at the repo baseline.

Three defects a second blind reviewer found that survived round 5. All three
reproduced against cf7a1616 before the fix and are pinned after it.
1. The fence scanner still falsely closed compliant descriptions. CommonMark 4.5
forbids a backtick in a BACKTICK fence's info string, so ```foo`bar is an
ordinary paragraph. The scanner opened a fence on it, never found a closer,
and stripped the body to EOF:
body = '```foo`bar' + three sentences of real prose + an image embed
before: intentWordCount 0, misses [missing_intent, missing_screenshot]
after: intentWordCount 52, misses []
Same class as round 5's closing-length bug and the same cost — opening a
block CommonMark would not open deletes the author's prose exactly the way
closing one late did. Tilde fences keep the permissive rule (4.5 restricts
backtick fences only).
2. The spend guard hashed less than the model consumes. hashInputs covered
title, modelBody, head.sha, exemption and policy ids — but the payload also
carries the changed-file list and the diff, and the workflow degrades the
diff to a marker line when the API 406s on a huge one. So a run that
classified with no diff cached a diff-blind verdict, and the next run — real
diff in hand, same title/body/sha — matched the hash and was served that
verdict permanently (measured: anthropicCalls 1 across both runs). The
assembled payload is now folded in as a fixed-width digest, inside the JSON
tuple where quoting still makes a forged boundary impossible. Round 5's
property is re-pinned: a policy fix past the model's body cap invalidates
even when the payload is byte-identical.
3. The workflow's ${{ }}-in-run scanner missed a legal commented block header.
`run: | # shell block` is valid YAML — js-yaml puts the following
interpolation in the script — but the header fell through to the
single-line branch, which captured `| # shell block` as the whole command
and never looked at the block body. The rule protecting against shell
injection reported clean over an interpolating workflow. The scanner now
handles a trailing comment on the header, and scans the comment text too
rather than leaving itself a hiding place. Guarded against js-yaml's actual
parse, not against the scanner's own opinion.
Also corrected one overstated claim in the file's security block: a BARE url in
a sanitized string still autolinks under GFM. That is a self-labelled link and
the deliberate stopping point — the escaping targets the masking characters so
it cannot forge `` or `[click to approve](…)` — but "no live
links" was too strong for what the code does.
Self-audit: all 13 interpolations into the sticky comment are either literals in
this file or pass sanitizeModelText/sanitizeList; the only unsanitized one
(titleCheck.reason) is a hardcoded literal and renders inside a code span. Every
rendered statement matches behavior the code performs. The four realistic-human
fixtures and the three new fence cases all PASS; empty, "fixes bug", the
unfilled template, ten words of lorem and a fenced-away screenshot all still
FAIL.
test/pr-gate-workflow.test.ts 158 -> 163 pass, 0 fail. Six mutations (the
CommonMark rule, the tilde exemption, the payload digest, the runGate wiring,
the scanner's comment group, the header-comment scan) each fail at least one
test. typecheck, actionlint, verify (34/34) green.

A blind reviewer rejected this branch on false positives and the repro held up.
The gate's intent check deleted every list and blockquote LINE before counting
words, then measured what was left against an arbitrary 40. Real people write
their story as bullets. Measured on the four realistic-human descriptions from
the repro:
description before after floor 40 floor 20
own prose written as four bullets 0 55 CLOSE PASS
short non-native-English paragraph 38 38 CLOSE PASS
specific first-person bug report 34 34 CLOSE PASS
mostly a stack trace + a real explanation 28 27 CLOSE PASS
The file's own exemption rationale already says a check that is red on every
release is a check somebody disables inside a week. Red on every terse-but-
genuine contribution dies the same way, and it costs real contributors on the
way there — worse than the forgery risks rounds 1-3 chased.
- intentWordCount strips the list/quote MARKER and keeps the author's words.
Still stripped: fenced code, indented code (new — the other spelling of a
fence, guarded so it never eats a list continuation), headings, HTML
comments, raw HTML, bare URLs, inline code, link/image syntax, and the
template's own bold prompts. An untouched pull_request_template.md still
scores 0, pinned against the real file on disk.
- INTENT_MIN_WORDS 40 -> 20, documented as a floor against empty/boilerplate-
only descriptions, not a quality bar. CONTRIBUTING.md documents no word count
at all. Empty, "fixes bug", the unfilled template, 10 words of lorem and an
indented log paste all still fail.
- The fix-it comment no longer tells contributors to reopen a PR that was never
closed — the gate has no close call in it. It now says what actually happens:
editing the description re-runs the check (the workflow triggers on `edited`),
the PR stays open, a maintainer decides.
- sanitizeModelText backslash-escapes `[` and `]`. Escaping HTML killed the
<details> forgery, but Markdown needs no angle brackets: an image embed
renders a green "APPROVED" picture and a link renders a live phishing target
inside a close-lane comment. The file asserted nothing attacker-controlled
reaches Markdown unescaped; that is now true.
- A label-API failure during a NEUTRAL run no longer throws to exit 2 with no
comment. NEUTRAL has no verdict to record, so it logs, still posts, exits 0 —
and the comment stops claiming labels were cleared when they were not. The
verdict path keeps failing loudly on purpose (ordering note).
Four verbatim human descriptions are pinned as PASSING forever. Eight mutations
(floor, list markers, quote markers, indented code, markdown escaping, the
reopen copy, the NEUTRAL try/catch, the label claim) each fail at least one test.
test/pr-gate-workflow.test.ts 145 -> 158 pass, 0 fail. typecheck, actionlint,
verify (34/34) green.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Four findings from a second independent blind review, all reproduced against
HEAD before the fix and all pinned by a mutation-tested case.
- sanitizeModelText escapes &, < and > after the existing comment/mention/
block-marker stripping, so raw HTML from any dynamic string (model output,
mechanical flag details built from PR filenames, neutralReason, the
policy-exempt note) renders as literal text. A <details open><summary>MERGE
LANE — approved</summary> string is a forged verdict inside a close-lane
comment; it now renders as <details.
- hasScreenshot requires a markdown image whose URL looks like a URL or path,
an <img> carrying a non-empty src=, or a bare paste URL, and strips HTML
comments before scanning. ``, `<img alt=proof>` and an image
hidden inside `<!-- -->` no longer clear it. Documented in the code as a
FLOOR against zero-effort submissions, not proof.
- stripCodeFences is a line scanner following the CommonMark rule that a
closing fence must be the same character and at least as long as the
opening one. The old backreference read ```` as a NEW opening fence and
stripped to EOF, so a compliant body documenting fence syntax lost its
intent paragraph and was closed. The scanner is also linear, retiring the
superlinear-backtracking hazard the 16KB cap was sized against.
- Labels are reconciled BEFORE the sticky comment carrying the cached state.
Written the other way, one transient label-API 500 left stale/missing/
duplicate labels forever: the rerun short-circuited on the persisted state
and returned success without repairing them.
Also:
- hashInputs covers what the run consumes — the truncated model body plus the
mechanical policy outcome — so an edit past the 6KB model cap no longer
mints a new hash and buys an identical paid call, while a policy fix landing
past that cap still invalidates the cached verdict.
- The test's YAML block-scalar scanner accepts indentation indicators in both
legal orders (`>2-` as well as `|-2`), with a guard-the-guard case proving
it sees a `run: >2-` block interpolating attacker-controlled text.
- A block at the top of the script states plainly that this gate is a triage
signal and a reviewer checklist, not an authorization boundary; one line of
the sticky comment footer says the same to the contributor.
145 pass / 0 fail (was 126), typecheck clean, actionlint clean, verify 34/34.
Blind review round 2 rejected the branch. Five findings, all fixed.
BLOCKING 1 — the verdict was forgeable through a PR filename.
renderComment wrote mechanical red-flag details raw, and two of them
interpolate filenames (adds_recipe, deletes_tests). git allows a newline
inside a filename and JS `[^/]` matches one, so RECIPE_RE's anchors were
decorative: a PR adding `src/core/ai/recipes/x\n## PR Gate — ...\ncc
@octocat\n<!-- ...state... -->\nz.ts` put that text verbatim into the bot's
comment — forged heading, live third-party mention, and on the NEUTRAL
render (which writes no state block of its own) parseState() returned the
ATTACKER's block, so the next run hit the spend guard and silently skipped
the verdict with no label and exit 0. Three layers:
(a) flag details go through sanitizeList, exactly like the model's
strings. Audited every other interpolation into the comment; the rest
are literals in the file, Number()-coerced, or already sanitized.
(b) every path regex spells its segment class [^/\n], not [^/] —
RECIPE_RE, SOURCE_EXT_RE and the test-path check.
(c) parseState reads the state block only off line 2 of a marker-leading
comment (where renderComment writes it) and STATE_RE is whole-line
anchored. A block anywhere else is somebody else's text.
BLOCKING 2 — no exemption, so every release PR was close-lane.
Measured: 40 of the last 40 merged PRs would be close-lane on
missing_screenshot, including every /ship release PR. A check that is red
on every release gets switched off within a week, and then it filters
nothing. The #3745 policy exists to filter INCOMING OUTSIDE CONTRIBUTIONS;
release automation cannot take a screenshot of itself. It is now waived for
OWNER/MEMBER/COLLABORATOR, bot authors and drafts — the usefulness verdict,
the title rule and every mechanical red flag still run, and the sticky
comment says the check was skipped. author_association / draft / user.type
are read from the pr.json the workflow already fetches: no new API call, one
source of truth. `draft` is the one author-settable input, so
ready_for_review joins the trigger list and the exemption is folded into the
spend-guard hash — the draft-era verdict cannot be reused after the flip.
Stated as a deliberate decision in both the workflow header and the script.
3 — DOWNGRADE_FLAG_IDS omitted deletes_tests, adds_symlink and
adds_node_modules, so a PR deleting test/e2e/engine-parity.test.ts kept
merge-lane and a green check on the strength of its prose. All three added.
The old test used deletes_tests as its example of a NON-downgrading flag;
rewritten to pin the stronger invariant instead — every id detectRedFlags
can emit is a downgrade trigger (derived from the detector, so a new flag
fails until it is classified on purpose), and the set is still an allowlist
(an unrecognized id changes nothing).
4 — FENCE_RE backtracks superlinearly on a hostile body: 65KB of backticks
(GitHub's max body length) measured 8.2s across the two policy scans on a
pull_request_target runner. stripCodeFences now caps the scan at 16KB —
same input, 0.40s. Tradeoff documented at the constant: the intent
paragraph and the screenshot both sit near the top in practice (the PR
template puts them in the first two sections, and the model payload already
caps the same body at 6KB), so a real contributor is not judged on a
truncated tail.
Verified: test/pr-gate-workflow.test.ts 126 pass / 0 fail (was 95),
typecheck clean, actionlint clean, check-privacy /
check-no-tracked-symlinks / check-progress-to-stdout /
check-bun-test-timeout / check-key-files-current-state all exit 0. Each new
pin was mutation-tested against the pre-fix behavior: all six mutants fail
the suite.

Three fixes on the strict PR usefulness gate (#3698), plus the merge that
brings in the policy it enforces.
1. The mechanical policy check now outlives the model. The
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY guard used to sit above detectPolicyMisses, so a PR
with no intent paragraph and no screenshot got a green NEUTRAL skip
whenever the key was absent or Anthropic was down — "wait for a 500"
was a documented way past the one hard requirement. The #3745 branch
now sits above the key guard and the spend guard: a policy miss is
close-lane + the friendly fix-it comment + exit 1 with no API
dependency at all. A compliant PR that hits a missing key or a dead
API keeps the round-1 NEUTRAL behavior unchanged (loud comment,
::warning::, exit 0, stale gate:* labels cleared) — and the NEUTRAL
comment now says plainly that the *usefulness verdict* did not run,
while still reporting the title check and mechanical red flags it was
able to compute without a model.
2. Merged origin/master, which carries #3745's CONTRIBUTING.md section
and .github/pull_request_template.md. No conflicts: this branch never
touched VERSION / package.json / CHANGELOG.md, so master's 0.42.72.1
carried through untouched — the feature branch adds no version bump.
The test's inlined pull_request_template fallback (only needed while
the branch predated the merge) is gone; it now reads the real file, so
growing the template's own prose past the 40-word bar fails here
instead of silently letting an untouched template through. The
CONTRIBUTING_URL deep link is pinned against a GitHub-style slug of
every heading in the merged CONTRIBUTING.md, with the slugger itself
pinned so it cannot "pass" against an anchor GitHub never generates.
3. hashInputs joined its three fields with literal NUL bytes, which made
grep treat the whole of scripts/pr-gate.mjs as binary — any future
grep-based CI guard over that file would have matched nothing and
passed silently. Replaced with JSON.stringify of the tuple: still
unforgeable (each field is quoted and escaped), still stable by
construction, and printable. `grep -c hashInputs scripts/pr-gate.mjs`
now returns 2 instead of nothing. Existing sticky-comment state hashes
are invalidated once, costing one re-verdict per open PR.
Tests: 95 pass / 0 fail in test/pr-gate-workflow.test.ts. The no-API-key
policy-miss case was verified to fail against the pre-fix ordering.
Verified live against the Anthropic API: HTTP 200, strict JSON, all seven
required keys, merge-lane on a compliant fixture.

CONTRIBUTING.md (#3745) requires every PR to carry a paragraph the author
wrote themselves and a screenshot of gbrain actually in use. The gate now
checks both, mechanically, before it spends anything on review.
What it checks (no LLM, both exported for testing):
- hasScreenshot: markdown ``, a bare user-images.githubusercontent
or github.com/user-attachments/assets URL, or an <img> tag. Anything inside
a fenced code block does not count — pasting the syntax is not attaching
the picture.
- hasIntentParagraph: >= 40 words of prose left after stripping fenced code,
blockquotes, list items, headings, HTML comments, links and the PR
template's own boilerplate. Per-character scripts are tokenized per
character, so a paragraph written in Chinese counts as one.
The two lane consequences:
- missing_screenshot OR missing_intent forces close-lane from any recommended
lane (exit 1) and skips the model call entirely — closed without review is
the documented consequence, so there is nothing to spend a review on. The
sticky comment leads with what is missing, how to fix it, and the reopen
path; both misses are also recorded in the existing "Mechanical downgrades
applied" section.
- The model's new advisory intent_authenticity verdict forces
needs-maintainer (exit 0) when it reads "ai_generated", and never
close-lane on that signal alone. The comment says only that a maintainer
will read the paragraph personally; the model's reasoning is consumed and
never published at the contributor.
Rubric + strict-JSON schema gain intent_authenticity and
intent_authenticity_reason, with explicit instructions that rough grammar,
terseness and non-native English are evidence of a HUMAN and that "unclear"
is the answer whenever the evidence is not clear-cut.
test/pr-gate-workflow.test.ts: 63 -> 88 tests, all green.

Two independent blind reviews of #3698 (one APPROVE, one REJECT). Every
confirmed finding from the reject side, plus the cheap hardening both
reviews flagged.
BLOCKING
1. Sticky-comment hijack. upsertStickyComment adopted ANY comment containing
the marker, so a contributor could pre-post `<!-- gbrain-pr-gate -->`, have
the gate PATCH it, then edit it into a fake green verdict. isOwnComment()
now requires user.type === 'Bot' AND login === 'github-actions[bot]' AND
the body to START WITH the marker; anything else gets a fresh comment.
2. LLM output injected as raw Markdown. Model-produced reasons[] and
reviewer_checklist[] reached the comment unescaped — PR-body-driven
injection could forge headings, a second marker, and live @mentions.
sanitizeModelText()/sanitizeList() are now the single choke point in
renderComment(): HTML comments stripped, mentions zero-width-broken,
leading block markers removed, newlines collapsed, 300 chars per string,
8 entries per list, both caps self-marking.
3. Lane was purely model-decided. A well-written feature pitch could talk
itself into merge-lane. The model now RECOMMENDS; applyMechanicalDowngrades
forces merge-lane -> needs-maintainer on any of: workflow edits, a new
package.json dependency, a new src/core/ai/recipes/ provider file, new
KNOWN_CONFIG_KEYS entries, >40 changed files, >400 net source lines outside
test/, or a src/ change with no test file touched (#3665). The sticky
comment reports them under "Mechanical downgrades applied".
4. The test file did not pin what it claimed. Added: no gh pr checkout /
git fetch / refs/pull / pull/*/head in any spelling; exact permissions
key->value map plus a single-permissions-block assertion so no job-level
grant re-widens contents; the ${{ }}-in-run scanner now covers folded
(`run: >`) and chomped blocks, with a guard-the-guard test; and mocked
end-to-end runGate() runs for close-lane exit 1, marker hijack, sanitizer,
truncation, refusal routing, NEUTRAL label clearing, label swap, and the
spend guard.
5. Version-first title regex rejected the documented suffix form.
`v0.31.1.1-fixwave fix: ...` now passes. VERSION_AT_END_RE no longer
false-positives on `chore: bump zod (3.25.76)`: it fires only on a
v-prefixed or 4-segment trailing version, i.e. this project's own shape.
6. Refusal fail-open. stop_reason=refusal exhausted retries into a green
NEUTRAL — a deterministic way to dodge the red X. Refusal and
schema-invalid output now route to needs-maintainer with an explicit
note; only transport failure stays NEUTRAL. Refusal also short-circuits
the retry loop, since retrying a deterministic refusal only burns spend.
ALSO
7. persist-credentials: false on the checkout step.
8. Dropped pull-requests:write. Everything the script calls is the issues
API (comments, label create, label add/remove), so issues:write is the
only grant that is actually needed.
9. Spend guard for the edited/synchronize amplification: the LLM call is
skipped when sha256(title+body+head_sha) matches the hash recorded in the
previous sticky comment's state block, and the stored lane's exit code is
reused.
10. NEUTRAL runs now clear every gate:* label instead of leaving a stale
verdict behind.
Verified: bun test test/pr-gate-workflow.test.ts 63 pass / 0 fail,
bun run typecheck clean, actionlint clean, check-privacy /
check-no-tracked-symlinks / check-progress-to-stdout /
check-bun-test-timeout clean, plus a live Anthropic smoke of the exact
request shape (HTTP 200, valid strict JSON, injection attempt rejected).

Runs on pull_request_target against master. PR code is never checked out
or executed: metadata + a 120KB-capped diff come from the GitHub API only;
the base-repo checkout provides the rubric script. All interpolations are
env-bound; actions SHA-pinned; permissions limited to contents:read +
pull-requests:write + issues:write; per-PR concurrency with cancel.
scripts/pr-gate.mjs (no deps, fetch only) classifies via the strict
usefulness rubric (claude-sonnet-5, strict JSON schema, thinking disabled;
sampling params omitted — rejected on this model), posts one sticky
comment (<!-- gbrain-pr-gate -->), applies exactly one gate:* label, and
exits 1 only on close-lane. Missing ANTHROPIC_API_KEY or API failure after
2 retries NEUTRAL-skips loudly (comment + warning, exit 0). Mechanical
(no-LLM) checks: version-first title rule and diff red flags (>40 files,
node_modules, symlinks, workflow edits force needs-maintainer, new
package.json deps, deleted tests).
test/pr-gate-workflow.test.ts pins the security invariants and unit-tests
the exported title rule + red-flag detector (import side-effect guarded).

runImport printed its informational lines ('Found N markdown files' and four
siblings) through console.log unconditionally, so `gbrain import <dir> --json`
emitted them ahead of the payload and stdout did not parse as JSON. A consumer
parsing stdout reads that as zero imports while its own bookkeeping records the
files as ingested, so the next run skips them permanently.
Route those five lines through an `info` helper that switches to stderr when
--json is set. The lines are relocated, not removed: human mode is byte-for-byte
unchanged, and the JSON payload itself is untouched. This is the contract
CLAUDE.md already states ('Stdout stays clean for data output (--json
payloads)') and that import.ts's own progress comment repeats.
scripts/check-progress-to-stdout.sh only greps for process.stdout.write('\\r…),
so this class was never guarded; the new spawn-level test pins it.
installHelper's "already current" fast path ran chmodSync(helperPath,
0o755) unconditionally, before the dryRun check further down — so
`gbrain sources harden --dry-run` mutated the helper's permissions even
though dry-run is documented as a pure preview. This is the 5th
instance of the #3594 class (see #3692 for the sibling fix to the
step-1 pull, same function).
Gate the chmod with `if (!dryRun)`, mirroring the guard pattern already
used in installLocalHook's own "already current" branch. Non-dry-run
behavior is unchanged.
Adds a regression pair to test/brain-repo-durability.serial.test.ts:
one asserting dry-run leaves a drifted-permission helper untouched,
and a control asserting the real run still restores the exec bit.
Two cycle phases still carried the label-vs-actual defect that
propose_takes shed in v0.42.62 (and that the #2805 review noted was worth
tracking so it isn't lost):
- grade_takes hardcoded 'claude-sonnet-4-6' into judge_model_id, the
evidence signature, and budget metering, while the default judge call
passed NO model hint and rode the gateway's chat_model. On any brain
with a non-default chat_model, the verdict cache and telemetry recorded
a model that never ran.
- calibration_profile persisted TIER_DEFAULTS.reasoning to model_id but
never passed a model to the patterns generator at all, so the recorded
model and the executed one were unrelated.
Fix, matching the propose_takes convention: each phase resolves ONE
string via explicit override > getChatModel(), and that string drives the
chat call, the cache key, and the stored id.
- grade_takes: the judge hint gets the FULL provider-prefixed string; the
stored judge_model_id and evidence signature keep the historical bare
tail. Stock installs are unchanged: getChatModel() defaults to
'anthropic:claude-sonnet-4-6', whose tail equals the old hardcoded
value, so no verdict cache invalidates. A genuinely different
chat_model invalidates, which is correct — the judge really changed.
- calibration_profile: getChatModel() is provider-prefixed, preserving
the #2451 contract, and its default IS the old TIER_DEFAULTS.reasoning
value — stock behavior unchanged. The generator now receives the same
resolved string that is persisted to model_id.
Tests: regression per phase pinning configured-chat-model routing (full
string to the call, bare tail to the cache key for grade_takes, full
string persisted for calibration); all existing suites pass unchanged,
pinning the no-change-on-stock property. 112 tests across the four
affected suites; typecheck clean.

The comment listed `gbrain integrity --dry-run` as a subcommand, but
runIntegrity dispatches on `check`/`auto` and parses --dry-run inside
the auto path, so that form exits 1 with "Unknown subcommand". The
runtime help already shows --dry-run indented under `auto [options]`;
only the source comment disagreed.
Addresses #3738.
The dead-link branch in cmdAuto called logSkip() (writing to
integrity.log.jsonl) but incremented bucketReview, the same counter fed by
the bare-tweet path's appendReview() calls (which write to
integrity-review.md). The printed "Review queue" summary line therefore
included findings that were never written to the review file, so
`gbrain integrity review` silently disagreed with `integrity auto`'s own
summary.
Give dead-link findings their own counter (bucketDeadLink) and print it as
a separate line. No change to bare-tweet bucketing or CLI surface.
retype mapping_rules' existing path_filter matches pages.source_path,
which is only populated for pages synced from a git repo. Pages ingested
via the put_page MCP tool (or any write path that doesn't go through
sync) have source_path = NULL, so path_filter can never disambiguate
them — a same-from_type retype rule targeting a slug prefix has no way
to address this class of page at all.
slug_filter adds an independent, orthogonal LIKE filter on pages.slug
(the field that's always populated), combinable with path_filter via AND
when both are given. Wired through the full call path: schema validation
(manifest-v1.ts), the RetypeRule interface + probeRule/applyRetypeRule
(retype.ts), and the pack-manifest → RetypeRule conversion in the
unify-types job handler (unify-types-handler.ts) — the last one matters
because a field only present in the zod schema but not carried through
that conversion would validate fine yet silently no-op at execution time.
- manifest-v1.ts: add optional slug_filter to RetypeMappingRuleSchema
- retype.ts: slug_filter on RetypeRule; probeRule + applyRetypeRule both
apply `AND slug LIKE $N` when present, independent of path_filter
- unify-types-handler.ts: carry rule.slug_filter through the
pack-mapping-rule → RetypeRule conversion
- tests: skips-outside-slug_filter, matches-despite-NULL-source_path
(the motivating case), path_filter+slug_filter combined via AND
320/320 existing schema-pack tests pass; 3 new tests added; tsc --noEmit
clean.

Effective 2026-08-02. Every issue and PR must carry a paragraph the author
wrote themselves explaining why they are opening it, and a screenshot showing
gbrain actually in use in that situation. AI-generated or AI-polished intent
text is not accepted; AI assistance for the code is still fine. Missing either
one means closed without review, reopenable once added.
Stated in CONTRIBUTING.md and pre-filled in both issue templates plus a new
pull request template so the fields are in front of the author.

Registering an OAuth client with --bound-slug-prefixes now makes the write boundary real: writes outside the bound prefixes are refused on every op that can name a page, and ops that write by something other than a slug are refused outright rather than left unfenced. Deny-by-default at dispatch, so a write op added later is refused to bound clients until it is explicitly fenced.
Adds docs/integrations/qm-harness.md (gbrain as the company brain for a qm deployment) with a roster-driven provisioning script and deployment templates, plus a Known limitations section stating plainly that this is a write boundary and not a privacy boundary.
Five review rounds, including three clean-room passes by codex gpt-5.6-sol and Claude Fable 5 against an instruction-stripped tree.
The first Release run (30698650484) failed before building anything: the
build job re-ran the entire unit suite serially on the release runner —
a different environment from the sharded Test workflow that had already
gated the exact SHA at merge — and died on ambient-env tests. The review
of #3573 predicted this ('a flaky test now blocks the release'). The
build job now compiles and smoke-tests the binary (--version must match
the VERSION file), which validates the actual artifact — something the
test suite never did. The Test workflow remains the code gate.
Review hardening from the #3573 gatekeeper pass: a ${{ }} inside run: is
shell injection by construction; bind through env instead. Not
attacker-reachable today (VERSION comes from master), correct anyway.
CI caught what the composite review's watermark 'fix' actually did: the
stamp path clamps links_extracted_at up to the watermark
(GREATEST(updated_at, versionTs), extract.ts:1835), so a future watermark
stamps every page at 2026-08-02 and masks any concurrent edit until then —
the exact race D4 guards — and makes the doctor lag check warn on fresh
brains. The limitation the future date tried to cover (stamps written by
pre-wave code after the watermark) is inherent: no fixed watermark covers
code that keeps running past it. Documented instead.
Two cross-PR findings from the wave-i hostile review (Codex xhigh):
1. The #3560-ungated bare-path pass scanned inside [[...]] spans, so a
dir-qualified wikilink's lowercase prefix (its parent page) became a
spurious 'markdown' edge whenever the parent existed. Wikilink spans
are now masked with equal-length blanks before pass 2; discriminating
test added (fails without the mask).
2. LINK_EXTRACTOR_VERSION_TS was midnight today with a strict-< staleness
predicate, so same-day stamps from pre-wave code read as fresh and
never re-extracted. Bumped to 2026-08-02T00:00:00Z.
Plus two comment corrections from both reviewers: upgrade.ts's X1 hook
rationale (stale after #3085) and PGLiteEngine.transaction's tx-engine
db-proxy hazard for #3613's searchVector wrapper.
In-wave interaction with #3560: extractPageLinks now also emits raw-literal and bare-path candidates that downstream existence checks drop; the tests' whole-list toEqual predates that. Filter to linkSource='wikilink-resolved' — the PR's resolution + no-cross-dir-leak claims are still fully pinned.
Master's #1072 test asserted bare qwen3-embedding@1024 threads dimensions:1024;
wave PR #3699 suppresses the param when the request equals the native width
(1024 for the bare id), so the same input now correctly returns undefined —
pinned by dims-qwen3-native.test.ts. Moved this test to 512 to keep its actual
intent (bare id recognized as Matryoshka-capable) without contradicting the
suppression. Third composition defect of the wave; caught by CI shard 8.
#3574 flipped the unify-types worker default to dry-run (jobs.ts:2221,
apply: data.apply ?? false) and updated the architecture docs, but three
agent-facing surfaces still presented the bare submit as the Apply step:
skills/schema-unify/SKILL.md 'Phase 3: Apply', skills/conventions/
schema-evolution.md, and README.md. Because #3545 also edited SKILL.md in
this wave, each PR looked self-consistent in isolation — only the composed
branch shipped a playbook whose apply step silently retypes nothing and
never flips the active pack. Skills distribute downstream via the skillpack,
so this would have propagated. Found by an independent cross-PR review pass.
#3691's regression test used llama-server as an 'unknown provider' example.
#3541 (same wave) prices ollama/llama-server at $0 via FREE_LOCAL_CHAT_PROVIDERS,
so that example is now priceable and the assertion inverted. Swapped in groq —
the paid-but-unpriced case #3691's own description cites — and added the
positive assertion that free local providers keep their cap enforced.
Non-string values interpolated into the template literal printed
'[object Object]' (e.g. provider_base_urls). Objects now render via
JSON.stringify; objects under a sensitive key redact to '***' like
their string counterparts.

The real plugin-load e2e test dynamically imports 'openclaw/plugin-sdk'.
TypeScript still resolves and type-checks that bare specifier via upward
node_modules resolution, so 'bunx tsc --noEmit' on a clean checkout could
fail (TS2339 on sdk.registerContextEngine) or pass depending on whichever
undeclared openclaw package happened to exist in an ancestor directory.
The existing @ts-ignore only covered the import line, not the property
access on the following line.
Cast the awaited import to a local structural interface declaring the
one member the test uses (registerContextEngine, optional). TypeScript
never consults the ambient module's types for the property access, so
typecheck output is identical regardless of ancestor node_modules state.
The @ts-ignore stays on the import statement itself and stays @ts-ignore
(not @ts-expect-error) because whether TS2307 fires there is itself
ambient-dependent. Runtime behavior is unchanged: the cast erases at
compile time and the export's presence is still verified at runtime.

The phase was calling runSchemaSuggestPhase(engine, { dryRun }) with no
sourceId, so it silently fell back to 'default' on every source's dream
cycle -- same bug class as upstream #1586 (synthesize) and #2666
(patterns/synthesize), just an undiscovered instance for this phase.
Confirmed live: schema-events audit log shows only source=default across
41 entries this week despite calendar/mail/mem/social cycles all running
the phase.

Adversarial review: survived a hostile reviewer plus two independent refuters, each told to assume the PR was broken and to default to refuting when uncertain. 19 of 62 PRs cleared that bar.
Applying a schema mutation batch was not atomic: a failure partway through left earlier mutations permanently written. Reproduced on disk — a failure at index 2 left mutation 0 applied with no way to tell from the pack's state that it was half-done. The fix validates the whole batch first and writes once, which makes partial application impossible by construction rather than by careful ordering.
Verified before merge: the failure was reproduced by injecting one rather than reasoning about it; the PR's own tests fail when the fix is reverted; typecheck clean; MERGEABLE/CLEAN at 22/22 on the current base after batches 1-4 landed.

Full-cycle maintenance jobs were stamped with the outer 600s timeout instead of the 30-minute handler anchor — a regression from #3338 that killed long cycles mid-run.

One-character regex fix with a real user-visible effect: "what do **I** know about X" was classified as a general query while the you/we phrasings were correctly classified as entity queries.

The bug: `gbrain reindex-frontmatter` and `gbrain backfill <kind>` were 100% dead on PGLite. cli.ts takes the data-dir lock, the command modules built a second engine on the same dir, and acquireLock never reaps a live PID — 30s timeout, exit 1, with the error naming the waiting process itself as the holder. Reproduced on the parent commit at 33.2s; passes in 5.0s with the fix. Root-cause fix at the dispatch layer, not a softening of the lock, and the sibling census confirmed these were the only two affected callers.
Postgres path verified before merge (it was the review's one open gap, since the bug is PGLite-only and all verification had gone there while the change itself is connection-teardown ownership). Against real Postgres 16 + pgvector: reindex-frontmatter and all three registered backfills exit 0 with zero residual connections, zero advisory locks, and zero cycle-lock rows — byte-identical output and identical teardown to master on the same database, confirming the change is behavior-neutral there.
Merged tree re-verified after rebase: typecheck clean, pglite-lock + reindex-frontmatter 16 pass, llms bundle fresh, 23/23 CI green.

Review follow-up to #3549.
An envelope is a third-party file, so interpolating source_provider raw let a
provider string carrying a newline close the scalar and inject arbitrary
frontmatter keys. title: on the line above was already quoted; source: now
matches it.
memvelope_conversation_id emitted the literal string undefined when a
conversation carried no id, which asserts a value rather than reporting
absence: every id-less conversation claims the same id, so anything grouping
or deduping on that key merges unrelated pages. The key is now omitted.
Filename and frontmatter read one hasId predicate so they cannot disagree
about whether an id exists. Tests add both cases; the injection case parses
emitted frontmatter with js-yaml rather than substring-matching it.
One Markdown page per conversation from an envelope-v0 file (format spec:
github.com/memvelope/memvelope), written into a directory gbrain sync
ingests. Zero dependencies, deterministic, no network; does not call gbrain.
Filenames are date + conversation id (collision-proof natural key; duplicate
ids overwrite their own file and warn on stderr). Frontmatter carries
type: conversation, source provider, conversation id, and origin. Bodies keep
message-id citations per speaker turn.
Ships as script + test + fixture only; usage and verification steps live in
the script header.
bun ignores bunfig.toml's timeout key, and beforeAll/beforeEach hooks do
NOT inherit a test's third-arg timeout — a bare `bun test` gives every
hook the 5000ms default even when all tests in the file declare 30s+.
Measured on bun 1.3.14: a 6s hook dies at ~5001ms with the signature
`(unnamed) [5001ms] ... hook timed out` (the #3545 jsonb-parity CI
failure); both `beforeAll(fn, ms)` and the CLI `--timeout` flag are
enforced hook budgets (kills observed at exactly the configured ms).
Fixes:
- e2e.yml (jsonb-parity, tier1, tier2) and release.yml ran bare
`bun test`; they now pass --timeout=60000 like every scripts/ runner.
- test/e2e/jsonb-roundtrip.test.ts (the #2339 double-encode guard, which
only real Postgres can surface) additionally carries per-hook 60s
budgets so a bare local run can't flake either — same pattern as its
sibling op-checkpoint-jsonb-parity.test.ts.
- scripts/check-bun-test-timeout.sh: CI guard (run from test.yml's
verify job) failing any future bare `bun test` in workflows/scripts.
- scripts/run-e2e.sh: correct the comment claiming --timeout is
per-test-only (it covers hooks; the outer gtimeout exists for
sync-blocking WASM hangs where no timer can fire).
Proof: with Postgres paused for 6s during setupDB's connect, the
unfixed file fails at 5001.81ms with the exact CI signature; the fixed
file passes the identical condition (5 pass, 6.57s). 396 slow
before-hooks across 362 test files lack per-hook budgets; all of them
run through --timeout-passing invocations after this change, enforced
by the new guard.

Closes the paths #3382 left open (its author said it narrowed the issue
rather than closing it):
1. checkCycleFreshness iterates EVERY local_path source, so an install
that nightly-dreams one vault via --dir showed a permanent FAIL for
every other federated source — and for any source added minutes ago.
'Never completed a full cycle' is now a WARN with the dream/autopilot
hint; a source that HAS cycled and then went stale still escalates
through the 6h warn / 24h fail thresholds (the regression signal the
check exists for). This is the reporter's actual case: the permanent
red eroded doctor's signal until real staleness hid inside it.
2. resolveSourceForDir's exact-match lookup had no archived filter and
no ORDER BY, so an archived (or duplicate) alias of the same path
could shadow the active source; dream's archived guard then refused
the stamp and the ACTIVE source stayed unstamped forever. The lookup
now excludes archived rows and orders deterministically, matching
the canonical-path fallback's posture. The fallback's fail-closed
ambiguity handling is deliberately unchanged.
3. #3382's own regression test (ii) was environment-sensitive: it
assumed unsetting OPENAI_API_KEY/ANTHROPIC_API_KEY makes the embed
phase fail, which is false wherever another embedding provider
resolves (the cycle then reports 'clean' and the test flips). It now
fails the sync phase against a vanished checkout — deterministic on
every machine, same property pinned (a genuinely failing enabled
phase must prevent the stamp).
New pins fail on unmodified master and pass here: never-cycled→warn
(x2, doctor) and the archived-alias shadow (dream --dir stamp).

master's rename loop swallows updateSlug failures with an empty catch
("treat as add"), and updateSlug returns void — so a zero-row UPDATE
(old slug absent) and a thrown collision are both invisible. Either way
the run falls through to importFile at the new path while the old row
stays behind live: slug occupied, 0 chunks after the next embed pass,
page count unchanged. A rename that didn't rename, with no trace.
The fix reconciles the duplicate:
- updateSlug returns the number of rows moved in both engines (a
zero-row UPDATE does not throw; the count is the only way to see it).
- When the cheap rename didn't move a row AND the destination
demonstrably materialized — imported, or an errorless skip AT the new
slug (NOT an identity-dedup skip against the old row, which would mean
nothing landed and deleting the old row would destroy the only copy) —
the stale row is located positively by source_path = from and deleted.
No source_path match → nothing is deleted (code-strategy imports don't
populate source_path and fall back safely to leaving the row).
- A failed reconcile delete records a <rename:…> sentinel: the failure
gate hard-blocks the bookmark, the auto-skip valve can never
chronic-skip it (which would bank the duplicate permanently after a
multi-run outage), and the rename is not checkpointed — the next run
retries the same diff and clears the sentinel on convergence.

* fix(search): stop boosting compiled_truth at default detail (#3430)
COMPILED_TRUTH_BOOST = 2.0 is applied AFTER RRF normalization, and RRF's whole
dynamic range over a 100-deep pool is 1/60 -> 1/160 (a factor of 2.67). So a
2.0x multiplier consumes roughly three quarters of the range: break-even is
`2/(60+r) >= 1/60`, i.e. r <= 60, which means ANY boosted chunk inside the
first 60 ranks outranks an unboosted rank-1 chunk. That is a categorical
filter, not a tilt.
Measured against master's own rrfFusion, with the correct answer in a
fenced_code chunk at vector rank 0:
compiled_truth chunks in pool | final rank | in top-20
10 | 10 | yes
20 | 20 | NO
40 | 40 | NO
80 | 59 | NO
With the boost off the answer stays at rank 0 in every case.
The gate was spelled `detail !== 'high'` -- written as though `high` were the
special case. The documented contract in src/core/operations.ts is
"low (compiled truth only), medium (default, all with dedup), high (all
chunks)", which makes LOW the special one: `low` already restricts to
compiled_truth, so a boost there is a no-op among equals, while `medium` and
`high` are both meant to see everything. So the default detail was silently
compiled-truth-only, contradicting the op's own description.
Three changes:
1. The three fusion call sites now route through a named predicate,
`shouldBoostCompiledTruth(detail)`, returning true only for 'low'.
Extracted rather than left inline precisely because an inline expression is
only reachable through a full hybridSearch round trip -- which is why the
inversion went unnoticed. The predicate is directly unit-testable.
2. KNOBS_HASH_VERSION 13 -> 14. Results are cached AFTER fusion, so rows
ranked under the old semantics would otherwise be served under the new ones
for the whole TTL (3600s default). One-time miss spike on upgrade.
3. test/search-compiled-truth-boost-scope.test.ts pins both the mapping and
the arithmetic, and documents the displacement it prevents.
Verified the tests discriminate: stubbing the OLD predicate body into master
(so the failure is behavioral rather than a missing export) gives 4 fail /
3 pass; with the fix, 7 pass. typecheck clean, verify 32/32, and 144 pass /
0 fail across the search + fusion + cache suites.
* fix(test): update the three remaining KNOBS_HASH_VERSION pins to 14 (#3430)
Missed in the first pass because I ran a targeted set of test files instead of
the full suite. CI shards 3, 8 and 10 caught them:
test/search/knobs-hash-reranker.test.ts:67
test/cross-modal-phase1.test.ts:139,149
test/search-alias-resolved-boost.test.ts:93
Each carries the running history of why the version moved, so each gets the
13→14 rationale appended rather than just the number swapped. No pins at 13
remain anywhere in test/.

getStats() has excluded soft-deleted pages since v0.26.5, but getHealth()
kept counting raw pages rows: page_count, the islanded/orphan scan, the
entity_pages CTE (link/timeline coverage denominators), and most_connected
all included deleted pages, so brain_score never moved when a user
soft-deleted pages. Repro: 50 pages, soft-delete 40 -> getStats 10 vs
getHealth 50, orphan_pages 50, brain_score byte-identical.
Fix: every page-scoped count in getHealth now filters deleted_at IS NULL,
identically in both engines (engine-parity SQL shapes match).
Deliberate boundary: chunk/link storage counts (embed_coverage,
missing_embeddings, link_count, dead_links) stay raw until the purge phase
runs — matching getStats' documented posture — and destructive-removal
counts (#2235) deliberately keep counting all rows. stale_pages already
filtered via buildStalePagesWhere.
Test: test/health-soft-delete.test.ts — 3 of 4 tests fail behaviorally on
unmodified master (page_count 10 vs 4, orphan_pages 8 vs 0, link_coverage
0.5 vs 1), all pass with the fix.

* fix(test): make resetGateway restore the test baseline instead of unconfiguring (#3554)
bunfig.toml's legacy-embedding-preload pins the gateway once at process
start to openai:text-embedding-3-large @ 1536, but resetGateway() wiped
that pin to _config = null. The next test file's beforeAll engine-connect
then reconfigured from the SHIPPED default (zembed-1 @ 1280) before the
preload's per-test beforeEach could restore anything, and every 1536-d
fixture in that file failed with `expected 1280 dimensions, not 1536`.
Which file pairs collided depended on shard bin-packing, so adding ANY
test file reshuffled the mines (this is what blocks #3545).
Fix: the preload registers its config as a reset baseline via a new
test-only seam (__setGatewayResetBaselineForTests); resetGateway() clears
all module state as before, then re-applies the baseline. All 93 existing
resetGateway() call sites get the correct behavior with zero edits.
Production is untouched: nothing in src/ calls resetGateway() or the
setter, so the baseline is never registered outside tests and
resetGateway() still fully unconfigures there.
Five tests genuinely need an unconfigured gateway (no_gateway_config
diagnosis, isAvailable=false, the #2590 cold-gateway path, the registry
builtin-default tier); they switch to the new __unconfigureGatewayForTests.
Two files' hand-rolled "restore the legacy pin in afterAll/finally"
workarounds for this exact bug are now redundant and simplified away.
Guard test (test/ai/gateway-reset-baseline.test.ts) pins the contract:
1536/openai immediately after resetGateway(), transports still cleared,
hard-unconfigure still available.

* fix(test): restore preload's GBRAIN_AUDIT_DIR instead of deleting it (#3554 sibling)
Same bug class as the gateway fix in this PR: state set once by a bunfig
preload (audit-dir-preload's scratch GBRAIN_AUDIT_DIR), wiped by one
file's cleanup, blast radius decided by shard bin-packing. In shard 6,
test/minions-shell.test.ts (position 12) unconditionally deleted the var
in afterAll; test/audit/audit-dir-preload.test.ts (position 93) then
found it undefined and failed 3 tests — and every file in between wrote
audit fixtures toward the operator's real ~/.gbrain/audit/.
Fix: capture the prior value at file load and conditionally restore it,
the same inline save/restore pattern 11 sibling files already use.
test/e2e/skill-brain-first.test.ts had the identical unconditional
delete in afterEach; fixed the same way. Sweep of every
`delete process.env.GBRAIN_AUDIT_DIR` in test/ confirms all remaining
sites are conditional restores.
Ordered-pair proof (minions-shell.test.ts then
audit/audit-dir-preload.test.ts, one process): 3 fail on master,
43/43 pass with this fix.

* fix(cli): stop parseOpArgs hanging on a non-TTY stdin with no input (#3513)
parseOpArgs read stdin for stdin-capable ops via readFileSync(0),
assuming non-TTY implies piped content. In a non-TTY with no piped
input — a CI step, a cron job, an agent harness that inherits a non-TTY
stdin without ever writing to it — that call never returns.
The stdin fill moves out of parseOpArgs into an async applyStdinParam
with a bounded read (readStdinBounded), called by the op dispatch right
after arg parsing:
- TTY: skipped, as before.
- Regular file / /dev/null (fstat says not a pipe/socket): readFileSync
returns without blocking — `gbrain put x < file` and `< /dev/null`
behave exactly as before (empty-but-readable still yields '').
- FIFO/socket: stream-read with a deadline on the FIRST byte only
(default 5000ms, GBRAIN_STDIN_TIMEOUT_MS overrides). Real pipes
(`echo foo | gbrain put x`, heredocs) deliver their first byte in
milliseconds; once any data arrives the deadline lifts and the read
drains to EOF, so slow producers keep working. An empty pipe that
closes yields ''. A pipe that never delivers a byte times out, the
param stays unset, and the existing required-param usage error fails
fast with exit 1.
Regression tests spawn the real CLI with a held-open, never-written
pipe (hangs 20s+ on pre-fix code; exits ~1s fixed) plus parity cases
for data pipes, /dev/null, and empty closed pipes, and a subprocess
driver pinning content preservation through applyStdinParam.

100644, failing `bun run verify` (1/32) on an otherwise-green PR. Mode only,
no content change.
* fix(cli): keep the R4-pinned stdin branch shape in applyStdinParam (#3513)
Shard 10's R4 regression pin (test/cycle/regression-pr-wave-r1-r2-r4.test.ts,
protecting PR #1325's Windows /dev/stdin → fd 0 fix) asserts three source
literals in src/cli.ts: `readFileSync(0, ...)`, the `op.cliHints?.stdin` +
`MAX_STDIN = 5_000_000` branch, and the `!process.stdin.isTTY` gate. The
bounded-read refactor kept the first two but inverted the TTY gate into a
positive early-return, dropping the pinned `!process.stdin.isTTY` spelling.
Restore the original branch shape inside applyStdinParam (guard + read +
cap + assign), unchanged semantics. The #1325 protection itself was never
at risk: no '/dev/stdin' anywhere, readFileSync(0) remains the read for
non-pipe stdin, and pipes drain through process.stdin (fd 0, cross-platform).
The pin now passes unmodified. A comment marks the shape as R4-pinned so
the next refactor doesn't trip it.

The `__all__` sentinel had two spellings and only one worked: as a
per-call source_id param, resolveRequestedScope understood it; as
--source __all__ or GBRAIN_SOURCE=__all__, SOURCE_ID_RE (which forbids
underscores) made all three resolver entry points throw. makeContext's
blanket catch then silently fell back to sourceId 'default' — making
the documented span-everything flag STRICTLY NARROWER than passing no
flag at all, because the catch also discarded the #2561/#3242 federated
widening:
unqualified read (federated brain) -> {"sourceIds":["default","src-a","src-b"]}
--source __all__ (pre-fix) -> {"sourceId":"default"}
--source __all__ (post-fix) -> {} (spans the brain)
Fix:
- src/core/source-id.ts: export ALL_SOURCES = '__all__'. SOURCE_ID_RE
itself is NOT loosened — it still guards source creation, lock ids,
and path joins, and its underscore rejection is what makes the
sentinel collision-free.
- src/core/source-resolver.ts: the explicit and env tiers of
resolveSourceId / resolveSourceIdEngineFree / resolveSourceWithTier
pass the sentinel through verbatim (skipping the regex and
assertSourceExists). Covers --source (#1712/#2289) and
GBRAIN_SOURCE (#2140), local and thin-client alike.
- src/core/operations.ts: sourceScopeOpts — the single choke point every
read-side scope helper delegates to — translates ctx.sourceId ===
ALL_SOURCES into {} for trusted local callers (strictly remote ===
false) and keeps the unsatisfiable literal for remote/untrusted
callers, so the sentinel can never widen past a caller's grant
(fail-closed). A federated grant still wins over the sentinel.
- src/cli.ts: makeContext's catch now rethrows when an explicit
--source was passed — a source that genuinely fails to resolve errors
loudly instead of silently becoming 'default' (the silent fallback is
what turned three bug reports into debugging sessions).
Tests (test/all-sources-sentinel.test.ts) fail on unmodified master
(9/13, behaviorally) and pass with the fix; the 4 that pass on both
sides pin invariants that must hold on both (remote fail-closed
literal, grant precedence, invalid-id rejection).
Closes#1712. #2289 and #2140 were closed as duplicates of it.

'backfill' had a fully implemented handler (case 'backfill' dispatching
to commands/backfill.ts) but was missing from the CLI_ONLY set, so
dispatch rejected every invocation with 'Unknown command: backfill'.
Same drift class as #2900 (reconcile-links) and #2035 (calibration).
Also lists backfill in the main --help TOOLS section.

shortRunId() truncated run ids to their first 8 chars, so propose_takes
run ids ('propose-<timestamp>-<uuid>') shortened to 'propose-' with a
trailing hyphen. slugifySegment() strips boundary hyphens during repo
sync, so the DB receipt slug and its Git-backed markdown slug disagreed
— writing the receipt through to the system-of-record repo created a
normalized sibling/collision instead of materializing the existing page.
shortRunId now trims boundary hyphens after truncation (invariant:
slugifySegment(shortRunId(x)) === shortRunId(x)), with a non-empty
fallback for pathological all-separator prefixes. All other run-id
families (atoms-, efacts-, concepts-, ecf-) are unchanged.

'gbrain takes list' printed 'No takes on list.' even when the brain held
many takes: the CLI had no list subcommand, so cmdList treated the word
'list' as a page slug and looked up a page named 'list'. The failure
read exactly like an empty takes table, so agents concluded there were
no takes and moved on.
'takes list' now lists all active takes (CLI parity with the takes_list
op), prefixing each row with its page slug. 'takes <slug>' unchanged.

#3461 — insertChunks stamped DEFAULT_EMBEDDING_MODEL on chunk provenance
whenever the AI gateway was unconfigured: getEmbeddingModel() throws
rather than returning falsy, so the reland's '|| resolvedModel' guard
(e1919fab) was dead code and the catch path kept the compile-time
constant. Both engines now fall back to the brain's own
config.embedding_model row on the throw path, with the compiled default
as last resort. Same-line sibling: the ON CONFLICT clause overwrote
'model' via COALESCE even when the existing vector was preserved —
'model' now mirrors the 'embedding' CASE branch-for-branch so the label
always describes whichever vector wins the upsert. The initSchema
sizing sites drop their dead '||' terms too.
#3507 — every plain re-embed path (embed <slug>, --all, --stale, and
the embed-backfill Minion loop) embedded raw chunk_text, silently
stripping the contextual-retrieval prefixes the sync path applied —
and embed --stale is the NORMAL post-model-migration path. All four
sites now wrap through wrapChunkTextsForStoredMode(), reproducing the
page's STORED convention (pages.contextual_retrieval_mode):
title/per_chunk_synopsis pages get the title-tier prefix, fenced_code
chunks stay unwrapped (D20-T4), unstamped pages stay raw. A fully
re-embedded per_chunk_synopsis page is restamped to 'title' so the
mode column keeps describing the vectors actually in the DB.
Deliberately NOT folding the contextual mode into
currentEmbeddingSignature(): the convention is already recorded
per-page (mode + corpus_generation), pages legitimately differ
per-page so a global signature cannot represent it, and bumping
signature semantics would force a full-corpus re-embed on upgrade.
No KNOBS_HASH_VERSION change (no collision with #3514).
Tests fail on unmodified master (6) and pass with the fix; postgres.js
path verified against a real pgvector instance in addition to the
PGLite suite.

facts-absorb performs one LLM extraction call per page — the same shape
as chronicle_extract — but was missing from HANDLER_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS,
so it inherited the tight null-default wall-clock budget and was
dead-lettered mid-generation on slow chat providers. Nothing was
inserted; the page's facts were silently lost.

Defect A (#3526): the empty-fence guard COUNT had no source_id predicate,
so one pending legacy row in any mounted source jammed extract_facts for
every source in the brain. The count now binds f.source_id = $1 to the
run's sourceId (source-isolation invariant).
Defect B: the guard advised `gbrain apply-migrations --yes`, which is a
proven no-op once the v0.32.2 ledger entry is complete (the runner
classifies it as already-applied and Phase B never re-runs). The warning
(and cycle.ts's phase hint) now gives the drain path verified to work
end-to-end on a real brain: `apply-migrations --force-retry 0.32.2`
then `apply-migrations --yes` (Phase B is idempotent), or forget_fact
per row.
New test proves a pending legacy row in source A does not jam extraction
for source B (fails on master, passes with the fix).

gbrain jobs prune --dry-run used to silently drop the flag and run the
destructive default — rows were really deleted while the operator
believed they were previewing.
MinionQueue.prune now takes dryRun: count the would-be-pruned rows
without deleting; the CLI parses --dry-run and labels the output.

slugifySegment stripped every character outside [a-z0-9._-] + four CJK
ranges, so filenames in Hebrew, Arabic, Cyrillic, Greek, Thai (and every
other script) collapsed to empty segments. Distinct files then mapped to
the SAME slug (their shared directory prefix) and silently overwrote each
other, last-writer-wins, with import reporting 0 errors.
All three slug grammars move together so sync never emits a slug that
put_page rejects:
- sync.ts SLUGIFY_KEEP_RE + SLUG_SEGMENT_PATTERN — now keep
\p{Ll}\p{Lm}\p{Lo}\p{M}\p{N} (new single-source SLUG_WORD_CHARS in
cjk.ts), with the u flag
- cjk.ts PAGE_SLUG_SEG — rebuilt on SLUG_WORD_CHARS; consumers
(validatePageSlug, SlugRegistry SLUG_RE, dream-cycle SUMMARY_SLUG_RE,
takes-fence HOLDER_REGEX) all gain the required u flag
CJK_SLUG_CHARS is untouched — it also drives the countCJKAwareWords
chunking density heuristic and must not move with slug grammar.
Kebab-casing, lowercasing, Latin accent-strip (cafe), dots/underscores,
path handling, and the NFC re-normalize (NFD macOS filenames converge
with NFC git filenames) are all unchanged and regression-pinned in
test/slug-unicode-scripts.test.ts. No data migration: the collapse was
N-to-1, so only one row per group ever persisted; a normal gbrain sync
recreates the lost pages under their real slugs.

The repo publishes zero GitHub releases, so releases/latest is a permanent
404 and fetchLatestRelease() could never succeed — the entire upgrade
notification subsystem was a silent no-op, and refreshUpdateCache() cached
a fabricated up_to_date marker on every failure.
- Resolve the latest version from raw.githubusercontent.com/.../master/VERSION
(same trusted host fetchChangelog already uses). Bounded, shape-gated parse;
handles legacy 3-segment and -suffix channel forms.
- Discriminate network_error from no_releases in the --json error field and
human output.
- Never write up_to_date on a failed check: preserve the last-known-good
marker (mtime bump keeps the TTL throttle) or write nothing.
- Rejected the issue's proposed npm fallback: the gbrain npm package is an
unrelated GPU library (#505) and would produce false upgrade prompts.

Three layers, verified by 10-run tallies (master: 7 pass/3 fail; branch: 10/10):
1. Deadline inversion: the hook tests' internal 8s poll deadlines sat behind
bun's 5000ms default because no third-arg timeout was passed — and bun
1.3.14 ignores bunfig.toml's `timeout` key, so bare `bun test` runs died
at 5s with the 8s budget unreachable. All three tests now pass 60_000
explicitly; deadlines raised to 30s for loaded-shard headroom. Same class
fixed in test/e2e/jsonb-roundtrip.test.ts (four tests had no explicit
timeout).
2. Root cause of the CI assertion failures: the test's git() helper spawned
git WITHOUT `env: process.env`. Bun snapshots process.env at startup (the
#2747 quirk), so the post-commit hook under test resolved GBRAIN_HOME to
the operator's real ~/.gbrain — writing its log there (polluting the real
brain-push.log every run) while the test polled the temp log. The
LOCAL-ONLY assertion only passed when beforeEach's scaffolding hook push
happened to still be in flight, lose the ref race, and retry after origin
pointed at the dead path — a load-dependent accident. env is now passed
everywhere, making the intended signal deterministic (~1s).
3. index.lock race (the third observed CI form): beforeEach now waits for the
scaffolding commit's detached brain_push to write its terminal log line
before handing the repo to the test, so its pull-rebase fallback can't
take .git/index.lock under the test body's own git calls.
Poll loops untouched — they were already correct; the 150 is the poll interval.

* v0.42.67.0 fix(build): force LF for shell scripts and route package.json checks through bash
Two independent defects left `bun run test`, `verify`, `ci:local` and
`test:e2e` dead on Windows. All four dispatch through bash.
First, every tracked *.sh is checked out with CRLF. The committed blobs are
clean LF; system-level core.autocrlf=true rewrites them on checkout, and a
strict bash then dies at run-unit-parallel.sh line 23 with
"$'\r': command not found". A root .gitattributes pinning `*.sh text eol=lf`
overrides autocrlf regardless of the contributor's git config.
Second, 33 package.json scripts invoked `scripts/foo.sh` directly, which bun
cannot exec via shebang on Windows. They now go through `bash`, matching the
11 that already did; all 59 tracked *.sh files are bash-shebanged (52
`#!/usr/bin/env bash`, 7 `#!/bin/bash`), so the change is uniform. The five
`scripts/*.ts` entries still run under bun.
Measured on this base, `bun run verify` goes from pass=1 fail=31 to pass=25
fail=7. Every one of the baseline's 29 `command not found: scripts/...`
errors is gone; those were the shebang defect, and they account for the
measured delta.
The line-ending defect is verified structurally rather than by that number,
because the bash on PATH for this measurement tolerates CR and so cannot
exhibit it: under the new attribute all 59 tracked *.sh check out LF-only
(0/59 carry a CR byte, against 59/59 before), and `git add --renormalize .`
is a no-op, confirming the index was always correct and only the working
tree was wrong. Zero content churn.
All 7 residual failures also fail on the pristine baseline: four exceed the
harness's 120s cap (standalone `bun run typecheck` exits 0), and check:wasm,
check:skill-brain-first and check:resolver are pre-existing content or
environment issues. check:resolver is not even a shell script.
No behavior change on Linux or macOS.

* docs: sync docs to v0.42.67.0
CONTRIBUTING.md gains a Windows section: the `.gitattributes` LF pin makes a
fresh clone correct with no extra steps, working copies cloned earlier need a
one-time `git rm --cached -r . -q && git reset --hard`, and new shell-script
checks must be registered as `bash scripts/<name>.sh`.
docs/TESTING.md records the shell-dispatch convention alongside the command-tier
table, and notes that the table's wallclock figures are Mac numbers: on Windows
`check:privacy`, `check:test-names`, `check:test-isolation` and `typecheck` can
exceed run-verify-parallel.sh's 120s per-check cap while passing on Linux and
macOS. It also flags that the Cygwin bash shipped with Git for Windows tolerates
CRLF where a strict bash does not, so a green local run is not evidence that a
script is CRLF-clean.
CHANGELOG.md's itemized list covers both doc updates.
`bun run build:llms` regenerates byte-identical bundles: docs/TESTING.md is
linked rather than inlined, so llms.txt / llms-full.txt do not move.
`bun test test/build-llms.test.ts` passes 12/12.

master's empty-fence guard counts soft-expired legacy rows
(row_num IS NULL, expired_at set), so forget_fact — the sanctioned
removal path, which soft-expires rather than deletes — can never drain
the backlog: apply-migrations no-ops (already marked applied) and the
guard stays triggered forever, jamming extract_facts.
Narrowed re-send of #3252-sibling #3234, scoped to exactly what the
maintainer named reviewable: "one predicate plus the
reconcile-preservation guard."
- Guard predicate: the legacy COUNT adds `AND f.expired_at IS NULL`,
so each forget_fact visibly drains the pending counter.
- Reconcile preservation: listExistingFactsForPage excludes soft-expired
legacy rows (they are never fence-owned, so they must neither read as
perpetually stale nor mask a fence row), and the two wipe call sites
pass `preserveExpiredLegacy: true` so deleteFactsForPage keeps the
forget record. The option is the minimal seam for that guard —
implemented identically in both engines (~6 lines each).
Explicitly NOT included from #3234 (per the close review): the
drift-repair lane, the re-runnable migration orchestrator path, and the
race-accounting layer.
Fence-is-canonical semantics are preserved and pinned by test: if the
fence still carries an expired legacy row's claim, the reconcile
reinserts it as a fresh active fence-owned row (legacy DB-only forgets
are documented non-durable; the expired row survives as the audit
record of the forget).

Shape requested in #3475's closing review: make capOversizedChunks use a
CJK-aware estimate instead of adding a parallel opt-in cap.
Measurement (vs the Qwen3-Embedding tokenizer, the strict-backend class
from #2826): cl100k matches embedding-family tokenizers on pure-ASCII
source (identical counts on English prose and JSON) but undercounts
MIXED CJK+ASCII chunks — −31% on URL-dense Korean text. The heuristic
fallback (~3.5 chars/token) undercounts CJK ~2.5×.
estimateEmbedTokens(): for chunks containing CJK, max(cl100k, per-char-
class overestimate — CJK 1.0 / other non-ws 0.75 / ws 0.1). ASCII-only
chunks short-circuit to estimateTokens verbatim (bit-identical, pinned);
CJK-DOMINANT text is unchanged too (cl100k already exceeds the weighted
form, so max() returns today's value — pinned). Only mixed-script
chunks, the measured divergence class, estimate higher. Reuses cjk.ts's
existing exports — no new module, no config.
Also: only the empty-AST branch routed its fallback through
capOversizedChunks. The no-language, parse-timeout, no-semantic-nodes
(every JSON/YAML fence — their node types aren't in TOP_LEVEL_TYPES) and
parse-throw branches shipped word-counted chunks unchecked, letting a
14K-char JSON fence emit ~2,700-token chunks past the 2,000 default cap.
Hoist the cap into fallbackChunks so all five emission paths share the
net. Hard-split slice budget becomes 1 char/token for CJK-bearing pieces
(the weighted estimate can reach 1 token/char).

The thin-client branches receive MinionJob rows as parsed JSON off the
MCP wire — every timestamp an ISO string — while formatJob /
formatJobDetail and the stalled-detection comparison hold a Date
contract (locally hydrated by MinionQueue.rowToJob). `jobs get <id>` on
a thin client crashed with "job.started_at.toISOString is not a
function" the moment the remote routing actually worked (unmasked by
the #2951 scratch-engine fix).
Rehydrate once at the unpack boundary via an exported helper that
coerces valid ISO strings to Dates, leaves Dates/nulls/malformed
strings untouched, and preserves the input type. Unit tests +
source-audit pins for both unpack sites.

On stateless deploys (Docker on EB/K8s/Fly — what the cloud recipes
produce), a container restart wipes federated clones; each is only
re-materialized when that source's next sync job runs. Until then the
v0.41.27.0 git short-circuit cannot probe HEAD at all, and the check
fell through to raw wall-clock age — which no-op syncs never advance —
so every QUIET source read as stale/FAIL right after a restart.
Observed live: 16-source brain, 12 clones gone after a config-update
restart, doctor 70 -> 25-35, monitor alert storm (score < threshold)
while every clone that DID exist was byte-identical to origin HEAD.
Fix: classify the probe three ways (probeSourceGitState: unchanged /
changed / unavailable). 'unavailable' + chunker match borrows the
REMOTE path's newest_content_at lag (v0.41.32.0) — DB-only, no
subprocess — so a quiet source reads healthy while real missed work
(content newer than last sync) still reports stale. 'changed'
(readable clone, HEAD moved / dirty) keeps wall-clock exactly as
before, and a chunker mismatch disables the fallback (D7: a pending
re-chunk is never masked). isSourceUnchangedSinceSync stays as a
boolean facade so source-health.ts is untouched.
Tests: 6 new doctor cases (F1-F6, incl. three-bucket invariant) +
7 probeSourceGitState unit cases; existing suites green
(doctor 90, git-head 21, source-health 28), tsc --noEmit clean.
The no-embedding-provider short-circuit in hybridSearch probed only the
text column's provider. On a multimodal-only install (text embedding
provider absent, a multimodal provider such as Voyage multimodal-3
present), the function returned to the keyword-only path before the
image/unified vector routing ever ran -- so image and unified queries
silently degraded to keyword search (vector_enabled:false) even though a
usable multimodal vector path existed.
Add a willTryMultimodal guard that probes the multimodal embedding
provider (embedding_multimodal_model) so the early-return does not fire
when multimodal vectoring is still possible, and tighten the unified and
image branches' bare aiIsAvailable('embedding') (global-default) checks
to probe the multimodal provider too.
Adds a focused regression test (search-multimodal-no-embed.serial) that
configures a text-provider-absent / multimodal-present install and
asserts image + unified queries reach the multimodal vector path.

Commit faf5cdba tracked `node_modules -> /tmp/fleet/repo/node_modules`.
That path exists only on the sandbox that produced it, so every other
clone materialized a dangling symlink and `bun install` aborted with
`ENOENT: could not open the "node_modules" directory`. That also broke
`gbrain upgrade` on bun-link installs, which shells out to bun install
and then prints a manual fallback that fails identically.
Three changes:
- Untrack the symlink (`git rm --cached node_modules`).
- Drop the trailing slash from the .gitignore node_modules patterns. A
`node_modules/` pattern matches directories only, which is why a
symlink of the same name was never ignored in the first place.
- Add scripts/check-no-tracked-symlinks.sh, wired into `bun run verify`
and `check:all`. The .gitignore fix alone is not sufficient, since
`git add -f` bypasses it; the guard fails on any mode-120000 entry.
The repo has no legitimate tracked symlinks, so it starts with an
empty allowlist.
Covered by test/no-tracked-symlinks-guard.test.ts, which builds a
throwaway repo containing the exact symlink shape and asserts the guard
exits 1 and names the offender.

DashScope's OpenAI-compatible /embeddings endpoint rejects requests with
more than 10 input items (documented Model Studio cap). The generic
per-recipe max_batch_items field + gateway capBatchItems pre-split
already exist (#1281); the in-tree dashscope recipe just never declared
the cap, so large embed backfills would send oversized batches and get
rejected server-side. Declare max_batch_items: 10 on the dashscope
embedding touchpoint; max_batch_tokens stays as the aggregate
token-size guard.
Test: pins dashscope's max_batch_items === 10 (+ max_batch_tokens
unchanged) and that 25 items pre-split into groups of at most 10 via
capBatchItems, alongside the existing llama-server cap pin.
No new models or recipes; no error-sniffing/halving recovery — the
pre-split makes the failure unreachable. Item-cap concept credited to
declined community PRs #2643 and #2405.
Also verified (no code change needed): #2103's litellm three-way dead
end is already fixed on master by a25209bb (#2271) via trust_custom_dims.

extract-conversation-facts extracted nothing on brains that store chat in the
collector's native page types. Two stacked gaps:
- Type routing: the allowlist exact-matched {conversation,meeting,slack,email}
against pages.type and passed each straight to listPages({type}), so
--types slack matched zero rows on a brain carrying slack-dm-day /
slack-thread / email-digest. Add ALLOWED_TYPE_ALIASES + pageTypesForAllowed()
to expand logical -> concrete (canonical name first so consolidated brains are
unaffected), wired into both the single-slug filter and the listPages loop.
- Block-format parsing: the 14 built-in patterns are single-line; the Slack
collector emits a header + indented-body block (`- **Name** (Mon 11:18)` then
body on following lines) that none match -> phase:'no_match', 0 messages, and
the LLM fallback is not wired. Add normalize-block.ts, a strict-no-op pre-pass
in parseConversation that collapses the block into the canonical
`**Name** (HH:MM): body` line the bold-paren-time pattern handles; the
per-message date fills in downstream via fallbackDate. 12h am/pm normalized to
24h; day-of-week dropped.
Verified on a 13.7K-page comms brain whose facts table was empty: a 12-page
Slack sample went 0/12 parsed (no_match) -> 12/12 (regex_match), 103 messages,
13 segments; extraction wrote 58 facts across 16 entities (~$0.09) and
find_trajectory returns a populated points list for a local/owner caller where
it previously returned empty.
Tests: +13 normalize-block (detection, multi-paragraph collapse, 12h->24h,
no-op on canonical, parseConversation integration) + 7 pageTypesForAllowed.
typecheck clean; verify 30/30.

* feat(extract): --infer-dates anchors timeline from a page's content date when its body has none
parseTimelineEntries only reads in-body date lines (`- **YYYY-MM-DD** | ...`).
Comms- and calendar-dominated brains keep the date in frontmatter or the
filename (slug `2026-04-24-...`), so those pages yield zero timeline entries
and find_trajectory stays blind even though the page is firmly dated.
`--infer-dates` (opt-in, DB-source) anchors ONE timeline entry at the page's
already-computed `effective_date` for pages whose body parse returns nothing.
Trustworthy sources only (frontmatter event_date/date/published or the filename
date) — never the `updated_at` fallback. Applied solely on the zero-entry path
so it can never shadow a real in-body timeline.
- new pure helper `deriveTimelineAnchor()` in link-extraction.ts (+6 unit tests)
- `getPage()` now projects effective_date/effective_date_source in BOTH engines
(engine parity)

* feat: CJK entity extraction for Chinese/Japanese/Korean names
- Add hasCJK() / cjkCharCount() detection helpers
- Lower min name length for CJK entities from 4 to 2 chars
- Fix tokenizeTitle() to handle pure CJK titles as single tokens
(was returning [] for CJK-only titles, excluding them from gazetteer)
- Add CJK substring matching pass in findMentionedEntities
- NER extraction works without schema pack (plain mentions fallback)
Verified: gbrain extract links --by-mention creates 27 links from
456 pages with 3 CJK entity pages in gazetteer.
* feat: Chinese link type inference + timeline date formats
Link types:
- CN_FOUNDED_RE: 创立/创办/成立/创建 → founded
- CN_INVESTED_RE: 投资/入股/融资 → invested_in
- CN_ADVISES_RE: 顾问/咨询/指导 → advises
- CN_WORKS_AT_RE: 任职/就职/担任 → works_at
- CN_CITED_RE: 引用/提到/提及 → cited
Timeline:
- TIMELINE_LINE_RE_CN: YYYY年M月D日 | event
- Auto-normalizes to YYYY-MM-DD format
- Falls through to English format if CN doesn't match
* fix: CJK tokenizer uses char-level tokens (reviewer feedback)
Addresses all 4 concerns from review of PR #1637:
1. tokenizeForScan now emits CJK characters as individual tokens
— normal scan path reaches CJK gazetteer entries naturally,
eliminating the separate O(P×C×N) substring fallback pass.
2. tokenizeTitle splits pure CJK titles into individual chars
— e.g. '纳瓦尔' → ['纳','瓦','尔'], matching body-level CJK tokens.
3. Removed O(P×C×N) CJK substring pass — no longer needed.
Performance now O(P × N_tokens) for both ASCII and CJK.
4. Renamed CN_*_RE → ZH_*_RE in link-extraction.ts with a comment
clarifying these are Chinese-only (entity NAME extraction in
by-mention.ts covers CJK scripts, link TYPE extraction is zh only).
Added 12 CJK-specific tests (10 pure + 2 engine integration).
All 51 existing + new tests pass.
* review-repair(#1637): scope CN timeline regex to 年月日, revert off-scope extract-ner no-pack change, cosmetics
- TIMELINE_LINE_RE_CN required only [年-] separators, so non-bold ASCII
dates (- 2020-01-02 - text) started parsing as timeline entries — an
English-default regression. Now requires the 年/月 markers.
- Dropped the dead 'm = cm as any' assignment.
- src/core/extract-ner.ts reverted to origin/master: the no-pack →
plain-mentions walk was off-scope for a CJK PR, duplicated the
existing --by-mention pass, and hardcoded pack_unavailable:false
(breaking the CLI hint).
- by-mention.ts: fixed stray indentation + restored EOF newline.

* feat(extract): quarantine lane for auto-extracted entities from untrusted input (#160)
extractAndEnrich regex-extracts entity names from arbitrary ingested text
and creates people/ + companies/ stub pages. Those writes are now trust-
gated end to end:
- src/core/extraction-review.ts: new marker module (sibling of
quarantine.ts / embed-skip.ts, frontmatter-key pattern, no migration).
Untrusted-input stubs carry `provenance: auto-extracted` +
`status: unverified`; the shared unverifiedExtractionFragment() is the
single SQL source of truth for every consumer.
- enrichment-service: enrichEntity/enrichEntities/extractAndEnrich take
EnrichmentTrustOptions; only an explicit trusted:true writes
authoritative pages (fail-closed, mirrors the OperationContext.remote
invariant). Also threads sourceId through the write path.
- retrieval: unverified stubs rank as ordinary content — skipped by the
compiled-truth fusion boost (stampUnverifiedExtractions pre-fusion on
all three hybrid paths + keyword-only opt-out) and by the people//
companies/ namespace source-boost (guard inside buildSourceFactorCase,
shared by both engines' search SQL). Results carry `unverified: true`.
New engine method getUnverifiedExtractionPageIds in BOTH engines.
- ops (contract-first): extract_entities (direct write only for
ctx.remote === false + --trusted-extraction; everything else
quarantines), extraction_pending (read, source-scoped list),
extraction_review (owner-only batch promote/reject; promote flips
status to verified keeping provenance for audit, reject soft-deletes).
- doctor: unverified_extractions check warns on stubs older than N days
(default 7) with the exact review commands.
Tests: test/extraction-review.test.ts (PGLite: fail-closed matrix incl.
remote-unset, fusion boost skip, review queue, doctor, hostile-transcript
e2e proving fake entities land quarantined and rank below a verified page
of equal lexical relevance) + test/e2e/extraction-review-postgres.test.ts
(live Postgres parity, verified against pgvector:pg16). sql-ranking
expectations updated to current state. Docs: KEY_FILES + RETRIEVAL +
llms rebuild.
Closes#160

* fix(extract): close vector-arm source-boost gap + harden extract_entities (#160 review round)
Adversarial review of the quarantine lane found the people//companies/
1.2x source factor still applied to unverified stubs inside searchVector's
pre-LIMIT re-rank (a different multiplier from the fusion-level 2.0x the
lane already cancels — and applied early enough to evict legitimate pages
from the candidate pool, which nothing downstream can restore).
- buildSourceFactorCase gains an optional unverifiedGuardColumn for the
bare-slug re-rank form; both engines' hnsw_candidates CTEs now project
the guard predicate as `unverified_stub` and the factor CASE checks it
first. Wrong "fusion covers the vector arm" comment corrected.
- extract_entities resource guards: 200k-char input cap (loud reject),
200-entity cap surfaced as `truncated` + `entities_found`; the library
extractAndEnrich gets the same default cap. (OperationContext has no
abort signal field — caps are the bound.)
- extraction_review promote is now a targeted JSONB-merge UPDATE instead
of putPage, so non-carried columns (page_kind, content_hash) can't be
reset by the upsert.
- extraction_pending applies buildVisibilityClause (archived-source stubs
no longer list).
- Wording: op description + module header now state the marker-strip
assumption plainly (markers are ordinary frontmatter; the boundary
against wholesale rewrite is put_page write authz) and document the
CREATE-only scope of the lane.
Tests: vector-arm factor-1.0 pinned on BOTH engines (PGLite unit + live
Postgres e2e, identical basis embeddings → score ratio is the factor);
resource-guard test (oversize reject + 300-entity flood capped at 200);
guard-column form pinned in the buildSourceFactorCase unit test.
search/ suite (340), sql-ranking, searchvector-maxpool, title-retrieval-
arm, rrf-source-key, doctor, ops, cli suites all green; JSONB guards clean.

* feat(migrate): provider-agnostic embedding migration service — the path off ZeroEntropy (#3390)
- gbrain migrate embeddings --to <provider:model> (alias: retrieval-upgrade):
plan + cost preflight, consent gate (--yes / TTY confirm / non-TTY exit 2),
live probe against the target provider before any mutation, env-override
gate, schema dimension transition via the shared runSchemaTransition,
dual-plane config write, NULL-signature-inclusive invalidation, query-cache
purge, resumable re-embed through the standard embed pipeline (single-flight
locks, backoff, pacing, stderr progress). Killed runs resume by re-running
the same command; the NULL-embedding column is the checkpoint.
- #3391 root-cause fix (both engines): countStaleChunks / sumStaleChunkChars /
invalidateStaleSignatureEmbeddings accept includeNullSignature to lift the
v108 grandfather clause; embed --stale warns loudly when a model swap
leaves NULL-signature pages in the old embedding space, and
--include-null-signature re-embeds them. Default sweep behavior unchanged.
- knobs_hash v=12 → v=13 (prov=default legacy callers must not be served
pre-migration cache rows).
- migrate_embeddings op: scope admin, localOnly, hidden cliHints, hard
remote refusal, needs_confirmation without yes=true.
- One-shot post-upgrade ZE-sunset banner (ze_sunset_notice_shown) for brains
resolving to a zeroentropyai:* embedding model or reranker.
- doctor's dimension-mismatch repair hint now names the real command.
- Docs: docs/guides/embedding-migration.md, KEY_FILES entries, spend-controls
gate row. Tests: PGLite unit + full-lifecycle flow (interrupted-run resume),
real-Postgres e2e (pgvector DDL path + #3391 predicate parity).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(test): satisfy check:test-isolation + bump the remaining knobs_hash pins
- test/migrate-embeddings-flow.test.ts → .serial.test.ts: the file holds a
temp GBRAIN_HOME + an installed fake embed transport for its whole
lifecycle (beforeAll → afterAll), which withEnv() can't wrap. This also
fixes the CI shard-pollution failure in
test/ai/recipes-existing-regression.test.ts (that file passes solo on both
master and this branch; the flow test's configureGateway + provider-key
deletion was leaking into it inside the same shard process).
- test/embedding-migration.test.ts: env-override case now uses withEnv().
- Bump the three remaining KNOBS_HASH_VERSION pins to 13
(cross-modal-phase1, search-alias-resolved-boost, search/knobs-hash-reranker).
- Docs + llms bundles follow the test rename.

* chore(test): wire the new Postgres e2e into the smart e2e selector map
Changes to embed.ts / embedding-migration.ts / retrieval-upgrade-planner.ts /
postgres-engine.ts now trigger test/e2e/migrate-embeddings-postgres.test.ts —
the #3391 stale predicates and runSchemaTransition's DDL path behave
differently on real pgvector than on PGLite, so the smart selector has to know.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(migrate): consult spend.posture in the embedding-migration consent gate
The brief asked the gate to honor spend.posture; it previously didn't read it
at all. Now it does — but deliberately does NOT bypass on tokenmax: posture
waives the spend CEILING, and this gate also guards a destructive schema
rebuild (existing vectors dropped, retrieval degraded until the re-embed
finishes). Under tokenmax the dollar figure is marked informational on stderr
and the confirmation is still asked; --yes stays the single scripted bypass.
Pinned by a new case in the flow test so a later refactor can't quietly turn
posture into a bypass. Guide + spend-controls table updated to match.

Kotlin chunks fine (bundled grammar, symbol-typed chunks) but CALL_CONFIG
had no kotlin entry, so code sync on Kotlin repos produced zero call edges
and code_callers/code_callees/code_blast/code_flow returned empty.
Two grammar quirks made this more than a config row:
- tree-sitter-kotlin defines no fields on call_expression, and
extractCalleeName required calleeFieldName (the interface comment
claimed a text-scan fallback that the code never had). Added an
explicit calleeFirstNamedChild option — the callee is positional
(namedChild(0)) — reusable by any future field-less grammar; corrected
the stale comment.
- receiver calls parse as navigation_expression, unknown to the unwrap
loop. Added a case alongside member_expression (TS) / scoped_identifier
(Rust) that walks to the trailing navigation_suffix identifier, so
receiver.method(...) resolves to the method, not the receiver.
No behavior change for the existing 8 languages: the new callee path only
activates via calleeFirstNamedChild, and navigation_expression does not
occur in the other configured grammars.
Validated on a private production Kotlin codebase (Spring + QueryDSL,
5,143 .kt files): 0 parse errors, 10,621 chunks, 89,279 call edges,
5,586 distinct callees.

* feat(azure): keyless (Entra/AAD) auth for the azure-openai embedding recipe
Subscriptions that enforce `disableLocalAuth` via Azure Policy reject api-key
auth, so the azure-openai recipe was unusable there. Add an Entra path:
- recipes/azure-openai.ts: when AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY is absent (or
AZURE_OPENAI_USE_ENTRA=1), mint a short-lived AAD bearer token via
`az account get-access-token --resource https://cognitiveservices.azure.com`,
cached ~45min. resolveAuth is sync, so execSync is the seam. Returns an
`Authorization: Bearer …` pair (gateway uses the SDK's native bearer path).
AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY moves from required → optional.
- config.ts + build-gateway-config.ts: add azure_openai_endpoint /
azure_openai_deployment / azure_openai_use_entra config keys, folded into the
gateway env (same pattern as openai_api_key) so the recipe works in any shell
without per-shell env. Non-secret only; the token is minted at request time.
Caller needs `az login` + the "Cognitive Services OpenAI User" role on the
resource. Verified end-to-end: import + query retrieval against a keyless
Azure OpenAI text-embedding-3-large deployment.
* fix(azure): refresh Entra bearer per request + align recipe tests with keyless auth
The gateway caches model instances with auth baked in at instantiation, so
the AAD token minted in resolveAuth would go stale after ~1h in long-running
processes. The recipe's existing api-version fetch wrapper now re-sets the
Authorization header from the TTL-cached token on every request in Entra
mode. Adds a test seam (__setEntraTokenForTests) so unit tests never shell
out to az, and updates test/ai/recipe-azure-openai.test.ts for the
required->optional AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY move.

* fix(gateway): constrain query expansion JSON key to "queries"
The expansion prompt asks the model to "Rewrite the search query below
into 3-4 different, related queries" without naming the JSON key.
On OpenAI-compatible endpoints that don't enforce a strict JSON schema
server-side (e.g. DeepSeek, many self-hosted gateways), the model
picks the prompt-salient noun and emits {"rewrites": [...]}, which
fails ExpansionSchema ({ queries: string[] }) validation. The catch
block only warns for AIConfigError, so the schema-validation failure
silently falls back to [query] and expansion is effectively disabled.
Verified on two providers: oMLX serving Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-6bit at
http://127.0.0.1:8888/v1 and deepseek-v4-flash at
https://api.deepseek.com/v1. With the prompt constraint, both return
{"queries": [...]} and gbrain query latency increases by ~150 ms
(the expansion inference), confirming expansion now runs end-to-end.
Refs #1156
(cherry picked from commit 132973039c)
* fix(gateway): expand() falls back to generateText for openai-compat providers
generateObject() with a Zod schema uses the response_format
json_schema mode, which most openai-compatible providers do not
support. When the provider rejects structured outputs, the expansion
silently returns only the original query — no error, no log, just
degraded retrieval quality.
For openai-compatible recipes, use generateText() with a JSON prompt
and parse the response manually. Native providers (Anthropic, OpenAI,
Google) keep the existing generateObject() path. This fixes silent
expansion failure for all openai-compatible providers: Zhipu/GLM,
DeepSeek, Groq, Together, Ollama, and any future recipe using the
openai-compatible implementation.

(cherry picked from commit 0e271961c0)
* refactor(ai): lift parseLlmJson into a leaf util
parseLlmJson lived in conversation-parser/llm-base.ts, which imports chat from the gateway. The gateway needs the same tolerant decoder for its expansion fallback, so importing it back would create a dependency cycle and pull the conversation-parser base into the gateway's module graph.
Move the function to src/core/llm-json.ts, a leaf with no provider or gateway imports, and re-export it from llm-base.ts so existing importers (llm-fallback, llm-polish) and its test keep their import path unchanged. Behavior-preserving.
* feat(ai/gateway): structured-output opt-in + capability-aware expansion fallback
Unifies two cherry-picked fixes (preserved in this branch's history) under a single capability flag and one expand() path:
- #1158 (im4saken): names the required "queries" key in the expansion prompt.
- #1618 (punksterlabs): falls back to generateText for openai-compatible providers.
Adds ChatTouchpoint.supports_structured_outputs (default false) and threads it into createOpenAICompatible's supportsStructuredOutputs at the chat and expansion build sites via recipeSupportsStructuredOutputs().
expand() now routes three ways:
- Native providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google) use generateObject unchanged.
- openai-compatible recipes that opt into structured outputs request a strict json_schema and fall back to the text path if it is rejected at call time, so a mis-declared capability never drops expansion.
- Every other openai-compatible recipe skips the json_schema attempt and parses the model's text directly, which removes the AI SDK warning and the silent degradation.
parseExpansionResponse() recovers the queries through a tolerant JSON decode plus schema validation, replacing the inline regex parse.
Net: fixes the silent expansion failure for every openai-compatible backend (the #1618 case), keeps the named-key prompt (closes the gap in #1156 that #1158 addresses), and adds strict structured outputs for backends that support them, which the always-generateText approach cannot reach.
Tests: capability gating across recipes plus a synthetic opt-in recipe; schemaless recovery from clean, fenced, and prose-wrapped JSON; null on non-JSON and schema-violating output.

- CONTRIBUTING.md: PR-side note that Semgrep is advisory/non-blocking
while the baseline is tuned (#2272 item 5), plus when OSV-Scanner and

resolveSourceForDir matched two path SPELLINGS: --dir goes through
resolve(), while sources.local_path stores whatever spelling the source
was registered with. Neither side is canonicalized, so a source
registered through a symlink but dreamt via the real path (or vice
versa) never matched, no source was derived, the #1869 freshness stamp
never landed, and doctor's cycle_freshness stayed permanently stale.
On an exact-match miss, retry with realpathSync applied to both sides.
Archived sources are excluded (dream already refuses to stamp them) and
an ambiguous canonical match fails closed rather than picking an
arbitrary id.

* fix(synthesize): dedupe across corpus moves
* fix(synthesize): dedupe legacy CHUNKED completions; keep plain-completed suppression
Repairs three gaps in the corpus-move dedupe (v2 content-hash keys):
1. Legacy chunked completions now suppress v2 resubmission. The scan
previously matched only keys ending ':<hash16>' (legacy single-chunk),
so every transcript synthesized under the pre-v2 chunked family
'dream:synth:<path>:<hash16>:c<i>of<n>' re-ran as a full paid v2
synthesis after upgrade. findLegacyCompletion now also matches the
chunked family, counting a transcript as done only when the FULL
chunk set c0..c(n-1) completed; partial sets fall through to a fresh
v2 run (reason: already_synthesized_legacy_chunked for full sets).
2+3. Legacy suppression reverts to plain status='completed', dropping the
result->>'stop_reason' = 'end_turn' filter. This restores the pre-v2
cost-safe semantics (queue-level idempotency blocks re-submission of
completed jobs regardless of stop_reason, pinned in test/minions.test.ts)
and sidesteps the double-encoded-jsonb result rows the naive ->> read
missed. The tightening was not documented as intended in the PR.
Tests: legacy chunked full-set suppression + partial-set resubmission;
double-encoded jsonb result row still recognized.

sources.local_path is machine-specific state in a brain-wide table. Any
brain whose sources were registered from more than one machine — or a
sanctioned setup mid-migration (topologies.md Topology 2, or the
system-of-record git flow before every repo is cloned) — has sources
whose checkout is not present on the machine running sync --all. Each
surfaced as a hard failure and forced rc=1 every run; on one observed
fleet that was 12 phantom failures per hour, training operators to
ignore the exit code.
--missing-path skip classifies them honestly: ⊘ in the human aggregate,
status skipped_missing_path + local_path in the --json envelope, new
skipped_count, excluded from error_count and the rc=1 gate. Using the
flag outside --all warns instead of silently no-oping.
Default stays fail: on a single-machine brain a missing local_path
usually means an unmounted volume or deleted checkout, and silently
skipping would hide data loss. Skip is explicit opt-in.
Pure helpers (parseMissingPathMode, partitionMissingPathSources)
exported and unit-tested in the sync-all-parallel style — no DB, no fs.
Docs: sync --help, docs/TESTING.md inventory, KEY_FILES.md sync entry.

* fix(sources): bind restoreSource federated patch via ::text::jsonb (#2339 class)
restoreSource bound a JS JSON string to a bare $1::jsonb placeholder;
postgres.js double-encodes that into a jsonb string scalar, so on the

array-concat and restore RE-CORRUPTS the exact config shape this PR
repairs. PGLite masks the bug (its driver parses the bind natively).
Fix: bind through $1::text::jsonb per the repo JSONB rule.
Adds the DATABASE_URL-gated Postgres regression

corrupted string-scalar config, runs archive -> restore, asserts
jsonb_typeof(config) = 'object' with the federated flag applied and
pre-existing keys preserved. Verified red on the bare ::jsonb bind
(config became a jsonb array) and green on the fix against a real
pgvector Postgres; skips cleanly without DATABASE_URL.

* feat(exports): expose runThink synthesis via gbrain/think subpath
The think synthesis pipeline (runThink, stripGapsSection, persistSynthesis,
maxOutputTokensFor + the ThinkResult/ParsedCitation types) lives in
src/core/think/index.ts but is not reachable through the public exports
map. Downstream consumers importing `gbrain/think` fail to resolve it, and
no other exported entrypoint re-exports runThink.
Add `./think` to package.json exports and extend the public-exports
contract test (count 20 -> 21; new EXPECTED_EXPORTS row with runtime
canaries runThink + stripGapsSection). Test passes 38/38.
Left the VERSION / package.json version / CHANGELOG / llms bumps to the

#2775 reported that `gbrain init --migrate-only` fails with
`column "event_page_id" does not exist` on PGLite brains predating
migration v121, because PGLiteEngine#initSchema() replayed the embedded
schema blob (which indexes timeline_entries.event_page_id) before
runMigrations() could add the column.
That ordering bug was already fixed on master by #2735 (which resolved
the Postgres-side report of the same bug, #2724) via a forward-reference
bootstrap probe in both pglite-engine.ts and postgres-engine.ts, with
coverage in test/bootstrap.test.ts and
test/schema-bootstrap-coverage.test.ts.
Add a regression test at the actual CLI-facing entry point
(runMigrateOnlyCore, what `gbrain init --migrate-only` calls) against a
downgraded pre-v121 brain, closing the gap between the existing
engine-method-level tests and the command users actually run. Verified
this test fails with the exact reported error when the bootstrap probe
is neutralized, and passes with it in place.

The ollama recipe declared a single `default_dims: 768` (nomic-embed-text's
width) while serving models spanning 384..4096. Every non-nomic model
resolved to 768, so `gbrain init --embedding-model ollama:bge-m3` built a
768-wide `content_chunks.embedding` column for a model that emits 1024. The
schema looked fine and only failed at first insert with
`expected 768 dimensions, not 1024`.
Adds an optional `model_dims` map to `EmbeddingTouchpoint` and an
`embeddingDimsForModel()` resolver that prefers the per-model entry and falls
back to `default_dims`. The ollama recipe declares real widths for the models
it lists; bge-m3 is added to that list. The three `init` call sites that read
`default_dims` now resolve per model.
Partial by design: unlisted models still fall back to `default_dims`, and
`trust_custom_dims` keeps an explicit `--embedding-dimensions` override
working. `user_provided_models` recipes (litellm, llama-server) still resolve
to 0, so they continue to require explicit dimensions.
Verified end to end against an OpenAI-compatible stub standing in for Ollama,
using an isolated GBRAIN_HOME:
before: config 768, content_chunks.embedding vector(768), insert fails
after: config 1024, content_chunks.embedding vector(1024), insert succeeds
* fix(patterns): make reflections/patterns slug sub-paths configurable
gatherReflections()'s SQL WHERE clause and the pattern-page write slug
were hardcoded to wiki/personal/reflections/ and wiki/personal/patterns/
respectively. A prior fix (#2415/#2939) made the leading namespace root
configurable via dream.synthesize.output_root, but the personal/reflections
and personal/patterns sub-path segments stayed pinned literals, so brains
whose schema has no personal/ nesting (e.g. a flat meetings/ tree) could
not point the phase at their own compiled_truth source.
Adds two new config keys:
- dream.patterns.source_slug_prefix (default: <output_root>/personal/reflections)
- dream.patterns.output_slug_prefix (default: <output_root>/personal/patterns)
Both default to the exact literal the code previously hardcoded, so
existing installs see no behavior change. A custom output_slug_prefix is
also added to the subagent's put_page allow-list, since the filing-rules
JSON globs only remap the wiki/personal/patterns/* literal by output_root
and would otherwise reject writes to a differently-shaped output path.
Updated test/cycle-patterns.test.ts's scope-filter assertions to match;
added coverage for the two new config keys and the allow-list addition.
* fix(patterns): drain PGLite subagent job inline (no worker claims it)
runPhasePatterns submitted a subagent job via queue.add() and waited on
it via waitForCompletion, but on PGLite there is no separate Minions
worker process (the embedded data-dir holds an exclusive file lock;
'gbrain jobs work' refuses to start against it). synthesize.ts already
has runPgliteSubagentsInline to drive the claim -> run -> complete loop
inline for exactly this reason; patterns.ts never called it, so a real
(non-dry-run) invocation against a PGLite brain always hung until
subagentWaitTimeoutMs (default 35 min) with the job stuck in 'waiting'.
Exports runPgliteSubagentsInline from synthesize.ts (was test-only via
__testing) and calls it from patterns.ts with the same private
per-run childQueueName derivation synthesize.ts uses, so the inline
drain never claims unrelated 'default'-queue jobs a Postgres worker
owns.
Updated test/cycle-patterns-child-outcome.test.ts's #2782 regression
test: its premise (no worker running with a 1ms wait timeout, so the
job never completes and waitForCompletion genuinely times out) is
exactly the scenario this fix addresses. With the inline drain, a fake
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY test fixture now gets claimed and actually attempted,
failing fast and landing the job in 'dead' rather than staying
uncompleted until a timeout. The #2782 status-reflects-outcome contract
the test exists to pin is unchanged (any non-'complete' outcome with
zero writes still surfaces as status 'fail'); updated the expected
outcome/error code to match the outcome that now actually occurs.
* feat(think): surface usage/cost_usd in --json output
think's own cost was previously unsurfaced anywhere: not in this CLI's
own --json output, not in budget_ledger (nothing in src/core/think/*.ts
ever writes to it), and invisible to a wrapping caller's own token
accounting since the LLM call think makes is its own, separate API
call from anything the caller's session tracks.
runThink() already captured result.usage.{input_tokens,output_tokens}
from the underlying client.create() call but discarded it. Adds
usage/cost_usd to ThinkResult, populates usage on the real-LLM-call
path (undefined on the no-client/stub paths, matching how synthesisOk
already distinguishes those), and computes cost_usd in think.ts's CLI
handler via the existing canonicalLookup() pricing table (same pattern
brain-score-recommendations.ts's estimateAnthropicCost already uses).
Extracted the multiply-and-sum into a small exported computeThinkCostUsd
for direct unit testing. Also appends the cost to the human-readable
footer.
Verified live: gbrain think --json against a real anchor returned
usage:{input_tokens:3271,output_tokens:1490}, cost_usd:0.0536, matching
Opus pricing ($5/$25 per MTok) by hand calculation.
Two robustness fixes to `gbrain autopilot --install`/`--status`, hardening #3305.
1. Universal bun PATH (extends #3305). The install-generated wrapper
(~/.gbrain/autopilot-run.sh) execs the `#!/usr/bin/env bun` gbrain shim, so
bun must be on PATH under cron/systemd/launchd's minimal env. #3305 hardcodes
`$HOME/.bun/bin`, which only covers the default bun.sh installer. Hosts where
bun lives elsewhere (Homebrew, npm -g, Docker /usr/local/bin, custom
BUN_INSTALL, nix) still die with `env: bun: No such file or directory`,
leaving a stale lock that stalls the nightly cycle. Fix: bake the dir of the
actually-running bun (dirname(process.execPath)) onto PATH at install time,
~/.bun/bin kept as fallback, single-quote-escaped, empty execPath guarded.
2. `--status` false negative. showStatus() checked crontab.includes('gbrain
autopilot'), but --install writes a line calling the wrapper
`.../autopilot-run.sh` — no such substring. So `--status` reported
installed:false on every wrapper-based Linux host. Fix: also match
'autopilot-run.sh'.
Tests: test/autopilot-install.test.ts — universal-form + runtime-derivation +
wrapper-detection assertions (fail-before/pass-after verified).
* v0.42.67.0 fix(agent): provider-neutral help + one truthiness parser for the gateway-loop toggle (#2753)
The gbrain agent help described --model as Anthropic-only and named only
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY. It also overclaimed that any recipe works and that MCP
submitters get permission_denied.
Reviewing that turned up a live mismatch: the doctor accepted true/1/yes/on
for agent.use_gateway_loop, the subagent worker accepted only true/1. So
config set ... yes reported healthy and still refused the job. Both now share
isConfigTruthy() in src/core/config.ts.
Item 1 of the issue (registering the key) is already on master, so this scopes
to the help text, the parser, and the regression test.

* skillify: make the Phase 0 gate fail closed
The gate only rejected when all three answers were no, but each
criterion's parenthetical reads as individually disqualifying
("One-off work != skill"). A one-line alias used once answers
No/No/Yes and runs the entire pipeline - up to 9 frontier eval
calls, four test layers, resolver wiring - and gets certified
properly skilled.
Any single no now stops the run, with the forbidden follow-on
work enumerated so executors cannot rationalize past it.
* skillify: add an upper-bound scope check to Phase 0
Phase 0 only guarded the lower bound (one-off, trivial), so an
entire multi-feature subsystem answered yes to all three checks
and became one mega-skill. In that shape the cross-modal eval
diagnoses the problem (every model says split it) but no phase
can act on the advice - decomposition is not a file edit - so
the only path is ship-with-KNOWN_GAPS, and Phase 4 then locks
the below-bar scope in with tests: the exact tests-cement-
mediocrity outcome the eval gate exists to prevent.
Multi-intent targets now stop in Phase 0 with a proposed split
and a question about which target to skillify first.
The check asks about the set of intents rather than the
existence of a trigger phrase, because check 3 is existential
and any one phrase ("ship it") makes a subsystem answer yes.
Anthropic released Claude Opus 5, at the same $5/$25 pricing tier as
Opus 4.8. Neither the chat recipe allowlist nor CANONICAL_PRICING knew
about it, so operators could not opt into it via models.tier.deep /
models.default without gbrain rejecting the id.
- src/core/ai/recipes/anthropic.ts: add claude-opus-5 to the models list.
- src/core/model-pricing.ts: add anthropic:claude-opus-5 { input: 5.00,
output: 25.00 } (plus cache rates, matching Opus 4.8's ratios).
- src/core/takes-quality-eval/pricing.ts: add it to SUPPORTED_MODELS so
eval takes-quality run --budget-usd doesn't reject it during preflight.
- Refreshed the stale pricing-verification date and the Opus list in
docs/architecture/KEY_FILES.md.
- Tests: pinned-value regression in test/model-pricing.test.ts, recipe
membership in test/anthropic-model-ids.test.ts, budget-pricing coverage
in test/eval-takes-quality-pricing.test.ts.
Scope: registration only. TIER_DEFAULTS / DEFAULT_ALIASES /
DEFAULT_CHAT_MODEL are untouched — default-routing bumps are the
separate, already-open #2858; this just makes the id valid/priced for
operators who opt in explicitly.
* chore(ci): refresh GitHub Actions SHA pins (checkout v4, action-gh-release v2)
Pre-ship pin staleness check per docs/RELEASING.md: both floating major
tags moved upstream; pins updated to the current tag commits.
* v0.42.65.0 chore(release): 92 verified fixes since v0.42.64.0 — changelog + version bump
Aggregates everything merged to master since the v0.42.64.0 bump commit:
community fixes, credited takeovers, batch re-lands, CI hardening, and
maintainer-approved features. Net commit list excludes revert pairs.
No new schema migrations.

* fix(deps): clear OSV-flagged transitive dependencies via override floors
Raise the existing security-floor overrides so the lockfile resolves
patched versions of three transitive packages flagged by the OSV scan
(@hono/node-server, fast-uri, body-parser). None are on gbrain's own
runtime path (@hono/node-server is only referenced by the MCP SDK's
optional hono transport, which gbrain does not load); the floors keep
the dependency scan green. MCP/OAuth unit tests pass against the
resolved versions.
* chore(release): fold #3110 into the v0.42.65.0 entry (93 net changes)
* v0.42.66.0 chore(release): 54 verified fixes since v0.42.65.0 — changelog + version bump

list_pages clamps limit to max 100 (default 50) — deliberate server
protection, pinned in test/search-limit.test.ts. But the clamp was
SILENT: a caller whose limit was defaulted or clamped got a
full-looking array with no signal that rows were dropped, and with the
default updated_desc sort the dropped rows are always the OLDEST —
precisely what exhaustive consumers (audits, scans, backfills) exist
to find. Observed in the field: a source with 212 pages enumerated as
80 visible rows, hiding 26 pages from a compliance scan for days.
Fix, with no response-shape change (MCP consumers still get an array)
and no engine surface change (handler probes limit+1):
- handler probes one row past the effective limit; when the caller's
limit was NOT honored (unset -> default, or clamped to cap) and rows
were dropped, it warns on stderr for local (CLI) callers — same
operator-facing channel as the put_page unknown-type hint, but
without the isTTY gate: scripted callers are exactly the consumers
that cannot detect truncation any other way, and stderr keeps stdout
parseable. An explicit honored limit stays silent (ordinary
pagination), as does a clamped-but-complete result. Remote (MCP)
ctx never writes to stderr.
- LIST_PAGES_DESCRIPTION documents the cap and the exhaustive-listing
recipe (sort=updated_asc + updated_after cursor) — the description
is the signal channel MCP clients actually read.
- regression suite: default-limit truncation warns, honored limit
silent, clamped-but-complete silent, remote silent, and the
documented cursor recipe enumerates a corpus to completion.

* feat(recipes): add reranker touchpoint to OpenRouter (#2164)
OpenRouter's POST /api/v1/rerank is wire-compatible with gateway.rerank()
({query, documents, model} → {results: [{index, relevance_score}]}). This
adds a recipe-only reranker touchpoint declaring four models:
- cohere/rerank-v3.5 (default; $0.001/search)
- cohere/rerank-4-fast ($0.002/search, 32K context)
- cohere/rerank-4-pro ($0.0025/search, SOTA quality)
- nvidia/llama-nemotron-rerank-vl-1b-v2:free (multimodal)
Unlike embedding/chat, the reranker path strictly enforces the models
allowlist — the openai-compat extended-model bypass does not apply. New
rerank models must be added to this recipe before they can be called.
The cost_per_1m_tokens_usd value is a pseudo-rate for the budget tracker's
chars/4 heuristic — Cohere bills per-search, not per-token. At ~4K chars
the estimated cost is in the right ballpark.
Recipe-only change; no gateway or search-layer modifications. gateway
auto-concatenates path → .../api/v1/rerank.
Adds hermetic unit test (test/openrouter-reranker-recipe.test.ts) covering
shape, models, default_model, path, max_payload_bytes, default_timeout_ms,
and cost field. No DB, no env mutation — survives the parallel 8-shard
fan-out.
Verified: bun run verify (30/30 green); 285 targeted recipe+rerank+budget
tests pass.

* test(facts): pin gateway to 1536d in facts-engine.test.ts beforeAll
Shard-composition hermeticity fix. The legacy preload's beforeEach only
re-applies the 1536-d gateway default before each TEST, not before a
file's beforeAll — so when the previous file in the shard resets the
gateway in its teardown (e.g. test/providers-test-model-base-url.test.ts
via afterEach), this file's initSchema() sized facts.embedding at the
1280-d production default and the 1536-d fixture inserts threw
'expected 1280 dimensions, not 1536' (CI shard 1 failure on #3302).
Same pattern as test/consolidate-valid-until.test.ts.

When link_resolution.global_basename is enabled, extend basename-index
resolution to frontmatter link fields (FRONTMATTER_LINK_MAP), mirroring the
body bare-wikilink path added in #972.
Problem: a bare-title wikilink in a frontmatter list -- e.g.
sources:
- "[[2025-12-25_mentor-extraction]]"
never resolves. SlugResolver.resolve() has no '/' to hit the slug-direct
getPage, and the field's dirHint (sources -> ['source','media']) may name
folders absent from the brain, so the dir-scoped exact + fuzzy steps also
miss. The frontmatter path never consulted resolveBasenameMatches -- that was
wired only for body bare-wikilinks. On a PARA/Obsidian vault this silently
drops the bulk of sources:/related: provenance edges.
Fix: extractFrontmatterLinks takes a globalBasename flag (threaded from
extractPageLinks). On a resolve() miss, unwrap [[ ]] and fall back to
resolver.resolveBasenameMatches -- UNIQUE-MATCH-ONLY, so ambiguous basenames
(archive dupes, generic hubs like _index) stay unresolved rather than create
a wrong edge. Purely additive; resolved frontmatter edges are unchanged.
Scope: covers the db-source extract and live put_page paths (real
makeResolver). The --source fs extract uses an inline resolver without a
basename index, so it gracefully no-ops there (typeof guard).
Tested: 3 new cases (resolves-when-on, ambiguous-stays-unresolved,
gated-off-by-flag); full link-extraction suite green (130 pass).

* fix(onboard): stop repeating the same auto-remediation within a run (#2854)
When the recommendation list is refreshed between remediation steps, a
remediation that doesn't clear its own health signal is reintroduced
under its stable id and attempted again, indefinitely on long runs.
Track attempted recommendation ids for the run and skip re-attempts.
Includes a behavioral regression test: a persistently-stuck signal is
attempted once, the loop terminates, and other remediations still run.
* fix(test): quarantine remediation-run-loop test as serial + complete BrainHealth fixture
Two CI failures, one root cause each:
- verify (check:test-isolation + typecheck): the new test uses mock.module
(R2) so it must live in the *.serial.test.ts quarantine, and the
BrainHealth fixture was missing the now-required linkable_page_count.
- test (6): the top-level mock.module('../src/core/ai/gateway.ts') leaked
into other files in the parallel shard process, flaking
test/ai/adaptive-embed-batch.test.ts. Serial quarantine fixes it —
run-serial-tests.sh executes each serial file in its own bun process.

Dispatch timeout was derived as interval*2 with a 5-minute floor, tuned
for light per-interval work. A full autopilot cycle routinely needs more
than 10 minutes at common intervals, so healthy full cycles were killed
mid-run. Full-cycle dispatch now gets a 30-minute floor; lighter
dispatches keep the interval-derived budget.
Adds a regression test for the full-cycle floor.

* fix(serve): boot-readiness deadline releases PGLite lock on wedged boot (#3273)
A serve process that wedges mid-boot (e.g. a boot step blocked on an
unreachable upstream) held the PGLite write lock indefinitely — the
post-#2348 lock discipline never steals from a live holder, so every CLI
consumer timed out until the serve PID was manually killed.
runServe (stdio path) now arms a boot-readiness deadline around
startMcpServer: if the transport hasn't connected within
GBRAIN_SERVE_BOOT_TIMEOUT_SECONDS (default 60, 0 disables), it logs the
condition, awaits engine.disconnect() (raced against the existing
5s cleanup deadline so a wedged WASM close can't trap it either), and
exits non-zero so supervisors restart with backoff. A completed boot
clears the timer; the HTTP path is untouched (own lifecycle).

`sources.config` is a jsonb OBJECT column, but a read→write cycle that
JSON.stringify'd an already-stringified value re-wrapped it into a JSON string
scalar ("{}", "\"{}\"", ...) that grew one layer per write. parseSourceConfig
only unwrapped one layer, so the corruption never healed and federation/ACL
reads saw a string instead of the settings object.
- Add normalizeSourceConfig: a bounded (10-iteration) loop that JSON.parses
while the value is a string and returns {} (with a console.warn) when the
result is not a plain object. All six `UPDATE sources SET config` writers run
their config through it before stringify, converging the stored value back to
a jsonb object on the next write.
- parseSourceConfig now does the same bounded unwrap and warns once when more
than one layer was found (one layer is the normal PGLite path).
- Add a `source_config_shape` doctor check that flags any sources row where
jsonb_typeof(config) <> 'object', with the repair path.
- Unit-test the helper (object passthrough, 1-layer, 5-layer nested, garbage
and over-bound inputs) and the doctor check (mock engine).

gbrain list --limit 100000 silently returned 100 rows (default 50) with
no warning, and --offset was accepted but dropped at the op layer even
though PageFilters has supported it all along.
- Local CLI callers (ctx.remote === false, the same trust boundary that
already bypasses scope enforcement) get an explicit limit above 100
honored — full enumeration is a legitimate local operation.
- Remote MCP/OAuth callers keep the 100-row DoS cap, now loud: one
logger.warn (stderr, stdout stays script-clean) with both numbers,
parity with the three search-path clamp warnings.
- offset is declared as a param (so the CLI coerces it to number) and
threaded to engine.listPages for real pagination.

The idempotency row is only written inside `for (const p of proposals)`, so a
page that extracts ZERO gradeable claims never records an idempotency tuple
and is re-sent to the LLM on every cycle forever. The docstring's "unchanged
page never re-spends tokens" contract only holds for pages that produce >=1
claim; a page that legitimately has no gradeable claims (or any machine-
generated page) is a perpetual cache miss and re-spends tokens indefinitely.
Fix: when `proposals.length === 0`, write one tombstone row keyed by the same
(source_id, page_slug, content_hash, prompt_version) tuple, with
status='rejected' so it never surfaces in a pending-review query (the pending
index filters status='pending'). Content changes (new content_hash) or a
PROPOSE_TAKES_PROMPT_VERSION bump still miss the tombstone and re-extract. The
extractor-throw path `continue`s before the tombstone, so failed pages are
retried rather than cached.
Guard against a subtle regression: `parseExtractorOutput` returns [] for BOTH
a genuine empty extraction AND malformed/prose/truncated model output, so
naively tombstoning every [] would permanently suppress a page that has claims
but hit a transient parse failure. `defaultExtractor` now throws when the
output is empty-but-not-a-clean-`[]` (new `isWellFormedEmptyExtraction`
predicate), routing transient failures into the existing retry path; only a
cleanly-parsed empty array is memoized.
Adds a `tombstones_written` counter for observability.
Tests: tombstone written on genuine empty extraction; two-cycle idempotency
(no repeat LLM call on an unchanged zero-claim page); extractor error writes
no tombstone; isWellFormedEmptyExtraction discriminates clean-[] from
malformed/prose/non-empty output. propose-takes suite: 36 pass / 0 fail.

* fix(search): honor recency decay config on the hybrid path (#2386)
The hybrid recency stage in runPostFusionStages imported
DEFAULT_RECENCY_DECAY directly, so operator overrides via the
GBRAIN_RECENCY_DECAY env var and the gbrain.yml `recency:` section were
honored only on the get_recent_salience SQL path and silently ignored on
the hot hybridSearch path. Non-default vault layouts therefore stayed on
the baked-in defaults / DEFAULT_FALLBACK (90d / 0.5) regardless of
tuning.
Call resolveRecencyDecayMap() (already used by the SQL path) so the
configured decay map reaches the boost stage. Behavior is unchanged when
no override is set — resolveRecencyDecayMap() returns DEFAULT_RECENCY_DECAY.
Adds test/hybrid-recency-config.test.ts asserting the env override
reaches the applied recency factor (fails against the prior wiring).
* test: use withEnv() in hybrid-recency-config test (check-test-isolation R1)
The test-isolation lint (shipped after #2386 was written) rejects raw
process.env mutation in non-serial test files. Wrap the
GBRAIN_RECENCY_DECAY overrides in withEnv() from test/helpers/with-env.ts;
assertions unchanged.

* fix(frontmatter): derive validate slug from brain root, not absolute path (#2340)
Single-file `frontmatter validate` derived the expected slug from the
absolute path: relative(resolve(target), file) is empty when target IS the
file, so it fell back to `|| file` (the full path), yielding "root/<abs>"
slugs and a false SLUG_MISMATCH. The pre-commit hook from install-hook
validates staged files one-by-one, so this rejected every commit in a
markdown brain (only bypassable with --no-verify).
Walk up to the brain root (nearest .git) and use relative(brainRoot, file)
|| basename(file), matching runAudit/runGenerate and sync/extract. Files
above the root fall back to basename instead of a ../-prefixed slug.
Reopens#565. Present since v0.32.0; reproduced on v0.42.51.

* test(facts): pin embedding dims in facts-engine — kill the shard-order 1280/1536 flake
facts-engine.test.ts hardcodes Float32Array(1536) vectors (vec()) but lets
initSchema size its vector columns from process-global gateway state
(getEmbeddingDimensions(), default 1280). Whether the file passes depends
on which test files run before it in the shard; adding
test/frontmatter-validate-slug-565.test.ts reshuffled the weight-packed
shards and tripped it on this PR's CI (test (1):
'expected 1280 dimensions, not 1536' in findCandidateDuplicates cosine
ordering).
Same fix + rationale as doctor-hidden-by-search-policy.test.ts (#2801),
engine-find-trajectory.test.ts and cosine-rescore-column.test.ts:
configureGateway(1536) in beforeAll BEFORE initSchema, resetGateway in
afterAll.

* fix(autopilot): export ~/.bun/bin onto PATH in cron wrapper (#2013)
The wrapper script that 'gbrain autopilot --install' writes to
~/.gbrain/autopilot-run.sh sources ~/.bashrc to inherit PATH for the
exec'd gbrain binary (which has a '#!/usr/bin/env bun' shebang). The
standard Debian/Ubuntu ~/.bashrc ships a non-interactive guard that
returns early when bash is launched non-interactively (cron, launchd,
systemd) — so PATH exports operators add to ~/.bashrc never reach the
wrapper subprocess.
The result: the wrapper dies silently with 'env: bun: No such file or
directory', leaves a stale lockfile, and every subsequent cron tick
hits the lockfile and bails. The nightly dream cycle hangs waiting on
a worker that never comes back, and the wrapper's own 10-min
stale-lock window is the only thing that can recover it.
This bites every operator whose bashrc is the standard distro default
(which is the default), and there is no warning at install time.
Fix: prepend ~/.bun/bin to PATH directly in the wrapper, so it is
self-contained regardless of which init file the OS loaded. Add a
regression test alongside the existing zshenv/zshrc source-order test
(v0.36.1.x #966) so this class of bug stays caught.
* fix(test): scrub real agent-fork name from regression comment (privacy check)

Idempotency was keyed on atom rows alone — a page the LLM judges
un-atomizable leaves no row, so it re-entered the discovery window every
run. Two production consequences: --drain false-stopped with
no_progress once the window head was mostly zero-yield pages (remaining
frozen while batches report +0), and every nightly re-spent extraction
budget on the same pages.
Fix:
- After a SUCCESSFUL chat call that parses to zero atoms, stamp the
source page with frontmatter.atoms_scan_hash = contentHash16. LLM
failures take the catch path and stay retryable.
- discoverExtractablePages + countExtractAtomsBacklog (both variants)
exclude pages whose stamp matches the CURRENT content hash prefix —
content edits re-eligibilize, mirroring atom-row staleness semantics.
- Drain no_progress now recounts the backlog on a zero-atom batch and
only stops when it genuinely didn't shrink — tombstoning IS progress.
Tests: +2 pure-loop drain cases (shrinking backlog continues / flat
backlog stops) and +3 PGLite integration cases (stamp + exclusion /
content-change re-eligibility / failed chat does not stamp).
29 pass / 0 fail across the two files; tsc clean.

Adds the bold-time-dash built-in pattern: **Speaker** HH:MM <dash> text
(em dash, en dash, or ASCII hyphen), valid 24-hour times only, date from
page frontmatter/date headings, multi-line continuation bodies.
Opt-in score_continuations_as_body scoring keeps long multiline messages
parseable while preserving the sparse-prose false-positive floor (needs
two anchors or a first-line anchor before candidate-only scoring kicks in).
Hardens validatePatternEntry to reject non-integer / out-of-range capture
indexes including text_group. Adds maintainer doc, JSONL fixtures, and
adversarial coverage.
Takeover of #3289 (fork branch went CONFLICTING against master on the

On machines with neither gtimeout nor timeout on PATH, run-verify-parallel.sh
and run-unit-parallel.sh fall back to a bg-pid + sleep-watchdog cap. Both
read $? only after tearing the watchdog down (kill + wait on cap_pid), so the
sentinel .exit files recorded the killed watchdog's status — 143 — instead of
the check/shard's own exit code. Every run reported total failure (verify:
pass=0 fail=31; unit: rc=143 per shard) while every per-check/shard log
showed success.
Capture rc immediately after `wait $pid` in both scripts, and reap the
watchdog's sleep child (pkill -P, children-first — the same orphan quirk the
heartbeat cleanup documents) so the fallback stops leaking one sleep per
check/shard.
Regression tests force the fallback branch hermetically on any host via a
curated PATH with no timeout binaries: the verify dispatcher runs from a
tempdir copy with a stubbed `bun`, pinning exit 0 + all-zero sentinels when
checks pass and the check's own rc (not 143) when one fails; the unit wrapper
runs real two-shard fixture passes, pinning rc=0 sentinels and a real
failure's rc=1.

* fix(embed): stamp gateway-resolved model in content_chunks.model, not compiled default (#2846)
upsertChunks fell back to the compile-time DEFAULT_EMBEDDING_MODEL
('zeroentropyai:zembed-1') when a ChunkInput carried no explicit `model`.
The embed pipeline (src/commands/embed.ts) builds ChunkInputs without a
`model` field, so rows whose vectors were produced by the config-resolved
model (e.g. openai:text-embedding-3-large) were mislabeled with the
hardcoded default — corrupting the provenance that signature-drift
staleness and dimension-migration logic depend on.
Both engines now resolve the gateway's runtime embedding model once per
upsert and use it as the fallback, mirroring the existing resolve-then-
default pattern used for schema sizing. Regression test added (pglite);
verified via negative control that it fails against the old fallback.
This is a write-path change (upsertChunks), not a search-path change, so
retrieval eval replay is not applicable.

* test: Lane A.7 pins gateway-resolved chunk model, not compiled default
#2846 changed upsertChunks' fallback from DEFAULT_EMBEDDING_MODEL to the
gateway-resolved runtime model. Lane A.7 still pinned the old fallback,
and the test preload (test/helpers/legacy-embedding-preload.ts) pins the
gateway to openai:text-embedding-3-large for every test process — so the
original #2846 landing failed this test deterministically and got batch-
reverted. The test now asserts the resolved model (the intended #2846
semantics) while keeping the CDX2-4 bare-literal regression guard.

DashScope's OpenAI-compatible rerank endpoint lives at
{base}/compatible-api/v1/reranks — PLURAL leaf, different base path from
the embedding surface (compatible-mode). Reusing llama-server-reranker
against DashScope forces users to hand-patch the recipe's '/rerank' leaf
in node_modules, which every upgrade silently reverts (and llama.cpp
genuinely serves singular /rerank, so changing that recipe would break
real llama.cpp users).
New dedicated recipe rides the v0.40.6.1 recipe-pluggable reranker path:
- id dashscope-rerank, base_url_default compatible-api/v1 (intl), ZE wire
- path '/reranks', default_timeout_ms 30s, 5MB payload ceiling
- models: only qwen3-rerank (live-verified 200; gte-rerank-v2 is rejected
by the compat surface with 'Unsupported model for OpenAI compatibility
mode', so it is deliberately not listed)
- separate recipe (not a reranker touchpoint on dashscope) because
provider_base_urls is keyed by recipe id and the two capabilities need
different prefixes — same topology as llama-server vs
llama-server-reranker
Tests: recipe shape smoke mirroring recipe-llama-server-reranker.test.ts
(path/timeout/payload pins, /v1/v1 concat guard, auth resolve, sibling
recipe isolation). bun test test/ai/: 322 pass / 0 fail.

The four `hybridSearch — reranker enabled (reorder)` cases stub the gateway
at 1536 dims (DIMS). Since v0.36.3.0 hybridSearch resolves the embedding
column via loadConfig(), whose precedence is
cfg.embedding_dimensions > gateway dims > default. On any machine whose
~/.gbrain/config.json sets embedding_dimensions to something other than 1536
(e.g. text-embedding-3-small at 1280), the real config outranks the stub: the
1536-d stub vector fails the gateway dim check, the error is swallowed, search
falls back to keyword-only, and the reranker never runs (rerankerFn gets 0
docs, rerank_score undefined). Green in CI only because a fresh runner has no
config file — deterministic red on a contributor's machine.
Fix (test-only): isolate GBRAIN_HOME to an empty tmpdir in beforeAll so
loadConfig() returns null and the stub's dims win, then restore it and clean
up in afterAll. Same idiom as emptyHome() in
test/ai/gateway-probe-chat-model.test.ts.
Verified with a planted ~/.gbrain/config.json at 1280 dims: 2 pass / 4 fail
before, 6 pass / 0 fail after; still green with no config file. typecheck clean.

Reland of #2639, reverted with its batch in 68e4cebd. getHealth's
entity_pages CTE and the top-linked-pages query only match the legacy
'person' and 'company' types, so brains using the gbrain-base-v2 pack's
'entity' type report 0% entity link/timeline coverage in `gbrain health`.
Add 'entity' to both queries in both engines (PGLite + Postgres, in
lockstep per the engine-parity rule).
Reland fix (the batch-red root cause): the original PR's test expected
the entities/project-x page to appear in orphan_pages, but #3023's shared
orphan-reporting policy (landed before #2639 merged) excludes the
'entities' first segment from orphan reporting, so the test failed on
master. Orphan expectations now account for the policy exclusion.

Replace the strictly sequential per-chunk synopsis loop with a bounded
sliding worker pool (existing runSlidingPool helper). Results land in
chunk order via index-addressed writes; code chunks still bypass the
wrapper; embedding remains one page-level batch after all synopses.
New knob GBRAIN_CONTEXTUAL_CHUNK_CONCURRENCY, default 4, clamped to
[1,16]; 1 reproduces the prior sequential behavior exactly. Each chunk
task still acquires/releases the global synopsis rate-lease, which
remains the cross-worker governor; the lease id now travels from
acquire to release instead of shared mutable state, and lease waits
are abort-responsive.
At 20-45s per synopsis call, a 120-chunk transcript page previously
needed 60-90+ min wall time and routinely outlived job timeouts.

statusForVersion short-circuited on any 'complete' entry before checking
the trailing 'retry' marker, so --force-retry appended an inert row and a
version marked complete with zero work done could never be re-run without
hand-editing completed.jsonl. Check retry-latest first: an explicit
--force-retry now yields 'pending' even past an earlier 'complete', while
a stray 'partial' after 'complete' still cannot regress the version.

SupabaseStorage.getSignedUrl built the download URL as `${projectUrl}${signedURL}`,
but Supabase's sign API returns `signedURL` relative to the Storage API root
(/object/sign/<bucket>/<path>?token=...), so the generated link dropped /storage/v1
and returned 404. Now prepends `${projectUrl}/storage/v1`, tolerating an
already-absolute URL or a value that already carries the prefix. `gbrain files
signed-url` links resolve again.

Reasoning models (MiniMax-M3, DeepSeek-R1, etc.) return <think>...</think>
tags in the content field before the actual JSON output. This caused
parseExtractorOutput to fail in two ways:
1. The fence regex /^\`\`\`(json)?...$/ requires the fence at text start;
<think> preceding it prevents matching, so the raw text (with trailing
fences) hits JSON.parse and throws.
2. When think tags contain [ or { characters, indexOf finds them inside
the reasoning block instead of the actual JSON array.
Changes:
- Strip <think>...</think> tags before any parsing (covers all reasoning models)
- Add JSON.parse fallback: truncate at last ] or } to handle trailing
noise (leftover markdown fences after stripping)
Tests: 28/28 pass (3 new cases for think tags + trailing noise).

The empty-fence guard counted every `row_num IS NULL AND entity_slug IS NOT NULL`
row as a pending v0_32_2 backfill, but the inline facts writer keeps producing
rows of exactly that shape post-migration: when a resolved slug has no fenceable
page (slugify-floor / stub-guard-blocked unprefixed slugs like `wingman`,
`people-jane-doe`), backstop.ts falls through to a DB-only insert with row_num
NULL. Those rows are structurally unfenceable — no page to fence onto, and the
ledger-complete migration won't re-run — so they jammed the phase forever
(~16/day observed) and the warning advised a no-op `apply-migrations --yes`.
Discriminator: a row is a genuine backfill candidate only if its entity_slug
resolves to a LIVE page in the same source (EXISTS in `pages` with deleted_at
NULL) — mirroring the migration's Phase B, which only fences slugs that map to
a writable page. Genuine pre-v0.32.2 rows (their entity page exists) still gate;
inline-writer unfenceable rows no longer do. Warning text updated to name the
"entity page present, not yet fenced" condition.
Regression tests pin both sides: unfenceable rows (no page / soft-deleted page)
do NOT gate and the phase converges; a legacy row WITH a backing page still
gates. Fails pre-fix, passes post-fix.
(#2484)
Reland note: original merge (53c90869) was batch-reverted (4b6cf32c) —
the guard-semantics change broke test/phantom-redirect.test.ts
'round 2 P1: legacy-row guard fires BEFORE phantom-redirect pass',
which seeded a legacy row WITHOUT a backing page and expected the
guard to fire. Under the new (intended) semantics such a row is
structurally unfenceable and must NOT gate. Fixed by seeding a live
backing page for the legacy row, preserving what the test pins
(guard fires before the phantom-redirect pass).

Code legitimately contains tiktoken special-token strings (e.g. CLIP/GPT tokenizers embed the literal <|endoftext|>). The default encode() uses disallowed_special='all' and THROWS on those, crashing reindex-code on valid source files. Re-encode treating them as ordinary text (allowed=[], disallowed=[]); heuristic fallback if even that fails. A token COUNT needs no special-token semantics.

OpenRouter (and potentially other proxy providers) expose OpenAI's
text-embedding-3 models with a provider prefix in the model ID, e.g.
`openai/text-embedding-3-large` rather than bare `text-embedding-3-large`.
`dimsProviderOptions()` checks `modelId.startsWith('text-embedding-3')`
which fails for the prefixed form, so the `dimensions` parameter is never
sent. The upstream provider returns its native dimensionality (3072 for
-large) instead of the configured value (e.g. 1536), causing an immediate
"dim mismatch" error on first embed.
The default OpenRouter embedding (`text-embedding-3-small` at 1536d)
masked this because its native size happens to match the default config.
The bug surfaces when using `-large`, or `-small` with a non-1536 dim
(512, 768, 1024 — all listed in the recipe's `dims_options`).
Fix: strip the provider prefix before the `startsWith` check. The full
prefixed ID is preserved in the error message for user clarity.

* feat(subagent): claude-cli MessagesClient adapter (baseline, no tool use)
Closes#334 (partially — text-only baseline; tool use lands in the next
commit on this branch).
Adds a MessagesClient adapter that shells out to `claude --print
--output-format json --model <model>` instead of the Anthropic SDK. When
`GBRAIN_USE_CLAUDE_CLI=1` is set, the subagent worker registers the adapter
in place of the SDK client; the default path (Anthropic SDK with
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY) is unchanged when the env var is unset or set to
anything else.
The benefit is that Claude Max subscribers can run Minions subagents
against their existing OAuth subscription, no ANTHROPIC_API_KEY needed.
New: src/core/minions/handlers/claude-cli-adapter.ts
- Implements the MessagesClient interface exported from subagent.ts.
- Strips provider prefixes (`anthropic:`, `litellm:`) from the model id
because `claude --print` only accepts CLI-native aliases (`sonnet`,
`opus`, `haiku`, or the bare `claude-*-N-M` form).
- Flattens the Anthropic messages array into a single text prompt for
claude-cli stdin. Tool blocks (tool_use / tool_result) are stringified
as placeholders so multi-turn conversations stay coherent in this
baseline; native tool_use round-tripping is the follow-up commit.
- Spawns claude with stdio piped, captures stdout, parses the
`{type:"result", subtype:"success", result, usage, ...}` JSON envelope,
and returns it as a properly shaped Anthropic.Message with
`stop_reason: 'end_turn'`.
- Token totals propagate from the claude usage block so the subagent
handler's `ctx.updateTokens()` reports usable numbers.
- AbortSignal is wired through to SIGTERM the child so the subagent loop's
cancellation path stays correct.
Modified: src/commands/jobs.ts (worker registration)
- Conditionally constructs a MessagesClient via the new adapter when
GBRAIN_USE_CLAUDE_CLI=1.
- Passes it into makeSubagentHandler({ engine, client: subagentClient }).
- Logs `[minion worker] subagent routing via claude-cli (GBRAIN_USE_CLAUDE_CLI=1)`
on startup so the env var status is operator-visible.
Limitations of this commit (addressed in the follow-up):
- Tool use is not yet supported. Tools in params.tools are ignored; the
adapter returns a single text block with stop_reason='end_turn'.
- Token counts come from claude-cli's reporting and may not match the
Anthropic API's accounting precisely (especially for cache tiers).
Original design from #334; this commit preserves that author's attribution.
The follow-up commits on this branch carry the tool-use implementation.
* feat(subagent): tool use + context isolation + convention rename on top of jarvisdoes baseline
Builds on the previous commit (jarvisdoes's #334 baseline) by adding three
things the upstream issue called out as gaps or that surfaced during review:
1. Tool use support via system-prompt-instructed JSON emission.
2. Context isolation flags so claude-cli does not load operator-level
CLAUDE.md, skills, and local project context into every subagent call.
3. Env var rename from GBRAIN_USE_CLAUDE_CLI=1 to
GBRAIN_SUBAGENT_PROVIDER=claude-cli to match the existing
GBRAIN_<noun>_<role>=<value> convention used by GBRAIN_CHAT_MODEL,
GBRAIN_EMBEDDING_MODEL, GBRAIN_EXPANSION_MODEL.
## Tool use
The MessagesClient interface returns Anthropic.Message objects whose
content array may include tool_use blocks. The subagent handler filters
those blocks and dispatches each tool, so any backend that produces
correctly shaped tool_use blocks gets the same loop behavior as the
Anthropic SDK.
The adapter injects a system-prompt addendum describing the tool registry
plus an emission protocol:
<use_tools>
[{"id": "...", "name": "...", "input": {...}}, ...]
</use_tools>
After the response comes back, extractToolCalls() scans for the block,
parses the JSON (tolerant of optional ```json fencing), and converts each
entry into a tool_use content block. Multiple parallel tool calls in one
turn are supported via the array shape; this is the exact case that
breaks today on the codex-proxy / litellm GPT-5.x bridge where parallel
tool-call response IDs get dropped.
Defensive fallbacks:
- Malformed JSON inside the block: drop to text-only, stop_reason='end_turn'.
- Unterminated <use_tools> (no close tag): drop to text-only.
- Model omits id field: adapter synthesizes a toolu_claude_cli_<rand> id.
- Empty response: still hand the subagent loop a well-formed content
array so the .filter chain does not crash.
## Context isolation
claude-cli auto-discovers CLAUDE.md from cwd upward and injects the
operator's skills + plugins + auto-memory into the default system prompt.
On a real install that is ~42-65k tokens of contamination per subagent
call, with both cost and behavioral consequences (the subagent picks up
the operator's coding conventions, opinions, and preferences).
The maximum suppression that still preserves OAuth / Claude Max
subscription auth is:
- Spawn from a dedicated clean cwd (tmpdir-based) so LOCAL CLAUDE.md
auto-discovery has nothing to find. -13k tokens on a real gbrain
install where CLAUDE.md is substantial.
- --disable-slash-commands so skill resolution does not pull in
/skill-name handlers.
- --system-prompt <gbrain prompt> so the default system prompt is
replaced rather than appended to.
The --bare flag would also strip user-level ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md but it
forces ANTHROPIC_API_KEY auth, defeating the whole point of this adapter.
The remaining ~42k cached tokens from user-level instructions are
accepted as a cost-trivial trade-off because the Max subscription absorbs
the per-call cost. Behavioral contamination is mitigated by gbrain's
strong per-call system prompt overriding any operator-level drift.
## Env var rename
Surveyed all ~140 GBRAIN_* env vars in src/. The codebase uses three
patterns: GBRAIN_NO_<feature> (negative toggles), GBRAIN_<noun>_<role>
=<value> (routing keys), GBRAIN_ALLOW_<feature> (permissive toggles).
GBRAIN_USE_* does not appear anywhere except jarvisdoes's original
commit; it would introduce a fourth pattern.
GBRAIN_SUBAGENT_PROVIDER=claude-cli aligns with the routing-keys family
and is value-extensible — adding codex-cli / meridian-proxy / etc. later
means a new value, not a new env var. The scope ('SUBAGENT_*') is also
unambiguous about which calls the toggle covers; GBRAIN_USE_CLAUDE_CLI
was silent on whether it applied to all gbrain LLM calls or only the
subagent path.
Unknown values are rejected with a fail-fast error message naming the
two valid values rather than silently falling through to the default.
## Tests
New file: test/claude-cli-adapter.test.ts — 12 tests, 33 assertions:
- Text-only round trip (single text block, usage propagation, end_turn).
- Provider prefix stripping ('anthropic:claude-sonnet-4-6' -> 'claude-sonnet-4-6').
- Single tool_use parsing.
- Multiple parallel tool calls in one block (the case that triggered
the codex-proxy regression).
- Fenced JSON inside <use_tools> block.
- Model-omitted id gets synthesized to toolu_claude_cli_<rand>.
- Malformed JSON falls back to text.
- Unterminated block falls back to text.
- AbortSignal SIGTERMs the child.
- Error envelope rejected with informative message.
- Non-JSON output rejected with raw-output excerpt in the error.
- argv + cwd assertion: --disable-slash-commands + --system-prompt are
present and cwd is the dedicated tmpdir.
Tests use a POSIX shell stub at GBRAIN_CLAUDE_CLI_BIN that emits a
scripted --output-format json envelope, so the suite runs without
claude-cli installed and without API credits.
* feat(ai): claude-cli recipe with native gateway integration (supersedes #334 baseline)
Replaces the MessagesClient adapter + GBRAIN_USE_CLAUDE_CLI=1 env-var
gate from the previous commit on this branch with a proper gateway recipe.
The recipe path gives per-call routing as a native capability: a model
string like `claude-cli:claude-sonnet-4-6` lands here while a sibling
`litellm:gpt-5.4` continues through the litellm-proxy / codex-proxy path
in the same worker. No global env-var switch, no agent.use_gateway_loop
bypass, no MessagesClient injection at jobs.ts worker startup.
The previous commit on this branch (jarvisdoes baseline) is preserved
in the history for #334 authorship attribution. Its functional changes
are backed out here because the recipe pattern is gbrain's established
integration seam; introducing a parallel MessagesClient + env-var path
would have created two routing mechanisms competing for the same job.
New: src/core/ai/recipes/claude-cli.ts
- Recipe declaration: id 'claude-cli', tier 'native', implementation
'claude-cli', chat-only (no embedding or expansion touchpoints).
- Models: claude-opus-4-7, claude-sonnet-4-6, claude-haiku-4-5-20251001.
- supports_tools and supports_subagent_loop both true.
- supports_prompt_cache false because the CLI handles caching internally
and does not surface cache_control via the standard control plane.
- auth_env.required is the empty array because the CLI owns auth (OAuth
session managed by `claude login`).
- Friendly aliases mirror the `anthropic` recipe: `sonnet`, `haiku`,
`opus` and the same legacy-id rewrites for back-compat with stale
config strings.
New: src/core/ai/providers/claude-cli-language-model.ts
- ClaudeCliLanguageModel class implementing the ai-sdk LanguageModelV2
interface.
- doGenerate: renders the ai-sdk prompt array into a system text + user
text, injects the use_tools protocol instructions when tools are
present, spawns `claude --print --output-format json --model <X>
--disable-slash-commands --system-prompt <gbrain prompt>` from a
dedicated tmpdir (contamination suppression: no local CLAUDE.md
auto-discovery), parses the JSON envelope, extracts <use_tools>
blocks, and returns ai-sdk-shaped LanguageModelV2Content (text +
tool-call parts with stringified-JSON input matching the V2 contract).
- Tolerates fenced JSON inside use_tools blocks, malformed JSON
(falls back to text), missing close tag (falls back to text),
model-omitted ids (synthesizes toolu_claude_cli_<rand>).
- Parallel tool calls in one block round-trip cleanly: this is the
case that drops IDs on the litellm + codex-proxy bridge today.
- AbortSignal SIGTERMs the child for proper cancellation.
- doStream throws not-supported (gateway.toolLoop is non-streaming).
Modified: src/core/ai/gateway.ts
- Adds case 'claude-cli' to instantiateChat (returns ClaudeCliLanguageModel).
- Adds case 'claude-cli' to instantiateExpansion (same wrapper, reserved
for a future expansion touchpoint declaration).
- Adds case 'claude-cli' to instantiateEmbedding (throws, no embedding
model, mirrors the native-anthropic path).
- Lazy require() at the call site keeps the gateway module load cheap
for users who never use the claude-cli path.
Modified: src/core/ai/recipes/index.ts
- Registers `claudeCli` in the ALL[] array next to `anthropic`.
Modified: src/core/ai/types.ts
- Adds 'claude-cli' to the Implementation union so the gateway switch
is exhaustive at compile time.
Reverted: src/commands/jobs.ts
- Drops the GBRAIN_USE_CLAUDE_CLI=1 env-var gate the prior commit
added. Routing now happens at the gateway based on the model string.
Deleted: src/core/minions/handlers/claude-cli-adapter.ts
- The MessagesClient adapter is superseded by the recipe + LanguageModelV2
path. Two routing mechanisms competing for the same job would have
forced users to reason about which one wins; the recipe is the single
source of truth.
New file: test/claude-cli-recipe.test.ts (16 tests, 46 assertions):
- Recipe registration: getRecipe returns chat-only Recipe; aliases map
short names (sonnet/haiku/opus) to canonical model ids.
- Text round trip: single text content block, usage propagation, stop
finish reason.
- Provider prefix stripping.
- Single tool-call parsing.
- Multiple parallel tool calls in one block.
- Fenced JSON inside the block.
- Model-omitted id synthesizes toolu_claude_cli_<rand>.
- Malformed JSON falls back to text + stop reason.
- Unterminated block falls back to text + stop reason.
- Tools offered but model declines: returns text-only with stop reason
so the gateway-loop treats it as a final answer rather than wedging
for tool calls that never come.
- AbortSignal SIGTERMs the child.
- is_error envelope rejected.
- Non-JSON output rejected.
- doStream throws.
- argv + cwd assertion: --print, --disable-slash-commands,
--system-prompt are present and cwd is the dedicated tmpdir.
Tests use a POSIX shell stub at GBRAIN_CLAUDE_CLI_BIN so the suite runs
without claude-cli installed and without API credits.
End-to-end smoke verified against a real `claude --print --model haiku`
invocation: model emitted `<use_tools>` block with toolu_add_001 +
{"a":12,"b":30}, adapter parsed back into a `tool-call` content block,
finishReason 'tool-calls'.
* feat(ai/claude-cli): harden subagent isolation, env scrub, verbose + stdin robustness
Four defensive fixes to the claude-cli provider so a subagent call behaves
identically regardless of the host's ambient Claude Code config:
- Agent isolation: pass `--tools ''` and `--strict-mcp-config` so the subprocess
runs as a raw LLM with no built-in tools and no inherited user MCP servers.
Without `--strict-mcp-config`, each call boots the user's MCP servers (including
gbrain's own), causing recursion plus PGLite single-writer lock contention.
- Env scrub: drop ANTHROPIC_API_KEY / ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN / ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL
from the child env so the CLI authenticates via its own OAuth subscription
session. An inherited API key silently flips billing to per-token API usage,
the exact setup this recipe exists to replace.
- Verbose-mode compat: with `"verbose": true` in ~/.claude/settings.json,
`--print --output-format json` emits an event array instead of a bare result
object. Tolerate both shapes and select the result event.
- stdin robustness: handle the child stdin 'error' event and wrap write/end so a
missing binary (ENOENT) or early child death (EPIPE) rejects cleanly instead of
crashing the worker with an unhandled error.
Adds unit coverage for the env scrub, the isolation argv, and the verbose event
array. Verified against claude CLI 2.1.x.
* test(ai/claude-cli): cover verbose-array no-result + missing-binary reject paths
Two error branches in the hardened claude-cli provider had no coverage: the
verbose event-array path when no result event is present, and a missing binary
surfacing as a clean spawn-failed rejection. The missing-binary case is the
deterministic form of the stdin/EPIPE robustness; a synchronous stdin-write
throw is not reliably triggerable in a unit test, so the real ENOENT path the
handlers defend is exercised instead. Both reuse the existing shell-stub harness.

queue.add() with an idempotency_key returns any existing row regardless
of status. This means dead jobs (exhausted retries from a transient
provider outage) permanently block re-submission of the same work —
even after the underlying issue is fixed.
Fix: when the existing row is dead or cancelled, NULL its
idempotency_key (preserving the row for audit) and fall through to the
INSERT path so a fresh job can be created.
Affects dream synthesize children that died during provider migrations
(429 rate-limit on old Anthropic proxy, tool-results-missing on old
OpenRouter). 45 dead children were blocking re-synthesis of transcripts
in production.
Includes 4 new tests covering dead, cancelled, completed, and active
status interactions with idempotency dedup.

`gbrain doctor --remediation-plan` printed two consecutive lines that
contradicted each other when the brain was below target AND the target
was unreachable with autonomous remediation:
Brain score: 45/100 → target 90
Target unreachable: max with autonomous remediation is 70/100.
No remediations needed. Brain is at target.
The second sentence hid the real next step (configure the prereqs that
would lift `max_reachable_score`) and made the brain look healthy when it
was not.
Fix: gate the "Brain is at target" line on `brain_score_current >=
targetScore`. When the plan is empty AND the brain is below target, the
"Target unreachable" line above is already the user-facing explanation;
the `Blocked checks` block below surfaces the manual gap.
Extracted `renderRemediationPlanLines(plan, targetScore): string[]` as a
pure helper alongside `runRemediationPlan` so the regression coverage
asserts on the rendered output directly rather than mocking
`console.log`. `runRemediationPlan` now joins the lines verbatim through
console.log; behavior is byte-identical for every case other than the
fixed contradiction.
Five regression tests cover: unreachable-and-below-target (the bug
case), reachable-and-at-target, exact-target, below-target-with-plan,
unreachable-with-partial-plan. 38 tests across the adjacent doctor test
files stay green; `bun run typecheck` clean.

synthesize-concepts.ts's design comment says extract_atoms stamps a
`concepts:` frontmatter field on each atom and :92 consumes ONLY that
field — but the extractor never wrote it, so the atoms → concepts
pipeline was dead end-to-end: every cycle reported "synthesize_concepts:
skipped — no atoms with concept refs" no matter how many atoms
accumulated (696 page-derived atoms / 0 with concepts on our production
brain before an external backfill).
Fix, all on the extractor side (no synthesize change needed):
- EXTRACT_PROMPT asks for `concepts` (1-3 kebab-case TOPIC labels) with
an explicit reuse-over-coinage instruction — labels must cluster,
since synthesize_concepts only materializes groups of >=2.
- parseAtomsResponse validates labels (kebab regex, max 3, drop
invalid; empty -> undefined).
- The putPage frontmatter write stamps `concepts` alongside lesson /
source_quote.
Tests: 4 parse cases + an end-to-end regression that goes extractor ->
real frontmatter -> synthesize_concepts' OWN DB query path -> concept
page. The existing tests fed synthesize via the `_atoms` seam, which is
exactly how this gap survived.
Validated in production ahead of this PR by stamping the same shape
externally: the next synthesize_concepts run wrote 33 concept pages
(T2=7/T3=26) from 60 stamped atoms, zero failures.

* feat(doctor): raw-source persistence guarantee — warn-only v1 (#1978)
Every synthesized/derived page (dream_generated:true or type:synthesis)
must carry a raw trace or an explicit exemption. v1 is warn-only:
- New doctor check `raw_provenance` (brain category) flags synthesized
pages with none of: raw_trace/raw_source/source_uri/raw_trace_exempt
frontmatter, an attached raw_data row, or synthesis_evidence rows.
- Dream synthesize now stamps `raw_source: <transcript path>` into each
written page's frontmatter via the existing #2569 provenance stamp.
- Dream-cycle summary index pages and extract receipts carry an explicit
`raw_trace_exempt: true` + reason (no source document of their own).
No write path is blocked; fail-closed enforcement is the v2 escalation.

* fix(doctor): exclude soft-deleted pages from raw_provenance check
Sibling frontmatter checks (quarantined_pages, flagged_pages) filter
deleted_at IS NULL; without it a deleted synthesized page keeps warning
(and its slug keeps being named) through the 72h recovery window with
no way to clear the warn.

dream.drift.enabled has gated an unwired scaffold since v0.28: runPhaseDrift
had zero call sites, the resolved model + BudgetMeter were discarded
(void modelId; void meter), and no operator-readable output existed.
- Wire 'drift' as a CyclePhase (default OFF via dream.drift.enabled),
ordered after the calibration trio and before embed so the report page
gets embedded same-cycle. PHASE_SCOPE=global, cycle-lock coordinated,
--once (--phase drift --once) bypasses the gate for one run.
- Implement the LLM judge: soft-band candidates (weight 0.3-0.85, active,
unresolved, fresh timeline evidence) are judged against their page's
recent timeline entries via gateway chat; BudgetMeter-gated
(dream.drift.budget, default $1), capped by dream.drift.max_per_cycle
(default 20). Judge model resolves models.drift -> reasoning tier ->
sonnet fallback (unchanged from scaffold).
- Report-only v1: judged candidates land on a reports/drift-<date> page.
dream.drift.auto_update mutates NOTHING; the flag state is recorded in
the report for operators.

* fix(auth): admin-gated rescope surface for DCR clients stuck on default scope (#1914)
DCR clients self-register with source_id='default' + federated_read=['default']
and the registration comment promised 'rescope via the CLI later' — but no
rescope surface existed. Adds:
- GBrainOAuthProvider.rescopeClient(clientId, { sourceId?, federatedRead? }):
single-statement COALESCE update, canonical source-id validation
(assertValidSourceId), FK-backed existence check on the write source,
friendly errors for pre-v60/v61 schemas and unknown clients. Takes effect
for already-issued tokens because verifyAccessToken re-reads oauth_clients.
- gbrain auth rescope-client <client_id> [--source S] [--federated-read a,b]
(trusted local CLI).
- POST /admin/api/rescope-client (requireAdmin), mirroring the existing
register-client / revoke-client admin endpoints.
Deliberately does NOT let clients self-widen scope (options a/b from the
issue) — fail-closed trust invariant.

Pages ingested into a config.federated=true source were invisible to
normal reads: get_page/list_pages scoped to the scalar resolved source
('default'), while the fully UNSCOPED resolve_slugs leaked every
source's slugs — the reporter's exact observation matrix.
- federatedSearchScope now backs get_page, list_pages and resolve_slugs
(not just search/query), so the unqualified read surface shares one
visibility set: grant > federated set > scalar source. resolve_slugs
gains the missing sourceScopeOpts-family scoping (leak sealed).
- The widening gate is now field-presence instead of ctx.remote:
localFederatedSourceIds is populated only by server-side transports
(never from caller params), so trust stays fail-closed while the
stdio MCP transport (no GBRAIN_SOURCE) and the legacy HTTP token
path (no operator-set permissions.source_id grant) can opt their
unqualified callers into the operator-configured federated set.
Tokens WITH a grant, per-call source_id, and OAuth allowedSources
all still win and never widen.
- gbrain sync now attributes its ingest-log row to the synced source
instead of the shared 'default' bucket (attribution sub-bug).
No engine SQL changes: getPage/listPages/resolveSlugs already accept
sourceIds[] in both engines (#1393/#876).

Both engines' searchTakes used whole-string trigram similarity
(claim % query), which structurally cannot pass the 0.3 threshold for a
short keyword against a 100-200 char claim — keyword search returned
zero results on real brains. Switch the predicate to word similarity
(query <% claim) and rank by word_similarity(query, claim), in both
postgres-engine and pglite-engine per the engine-parity invariant.
Holder allow-list and source-scope filters unchanged.
Regression test: single-word query must match a long claim containing
it (fails under the old predicate).

Agent tools (Claude Code, Codex, …) support a *.local.md counterpart to the
committed CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md for personal, per-clone instruction overrides that
load after the committed file and are meant to stay uncommitted.
gbrain already ignores other workspace-local agent artifacts (.context/,
.claude/), so this fills the remaining gap for the two root-level override files.
Explicit filenames rather than a *.local.md glob, matching the existing
commented, specific style.
doctor and the get_health CLI surface printed two different timeline
metrics under one ambiguous 'timeline' label: the entity-scoped
timeline_coverage fraction (eligible entity pages with a timeline entry)
and the whole-brain timeline_coverage_score brain-score component (all
pages with a timeline entry, 0-15). Different numerators AND
denominators, indistinguishable in output.
Label-only fix, scoring unchanged:
- graph_coverage check: 'entity timeline coverage N%'
- brain_score breakdown: 'timeline density (all pages) N/15'
- get_health CLI: 'Timeline coverage (entity pages)' plus a new
'Timeline density (all pages): N/15' line when the score is present
Adds test/doctor-timeline-metric-labels-2298.test.ts pinning the
denominator semantics, the rendered doctor messages, and the CLI
guard matrix (fails on master, passes here).
Takeover of #2761.

* fix(thin-client): map --source/GBRAIN_SOURCE/.gbrain-source onto source_id for routed ops (#2098)
The thin-client route short-circuits before makeContext, so the 6-tier
source resolution never ran and `gbrain query --source X` against a
remote brain sent the unknown `source` key verbatim — the server op
ignored it and searched unscoped.
applyThinClientSourceScope now runs the engine-free tiers (flag → env →
dotfile; DB-backed tiers need an engine, and the server's grant scoping
covers the rest) and sets the op's source_id wire param. Ops declaring
their own `source` param are untouched; an explicit --source on an op
with no source_id wire param errors loudly instead of silently dropping;
explicit --source-id/--all-sources on the wire win over ambient tiers.

* fix(thin-client): keep ambient scope out of get_skill's non-scope source_id param
get_skill's source_id is a mode switch (host catalog vs brain-resident-pack

injection would silently reroute 'gbrain skill <name>' on thin clients to
getResidentSkillDetail. Exclude it via NON_SCOPE_SOURCE_ID_OPS; explicit
--source-id still passes through, explicit --source errors with a hint.

* fix(links): resolve [[wikilink]] + slug-path frontmatter values; keep frontmatter links fresh on the incremental cycle
Takeover/rebase of two community PRs:
PR #1983 — frontmatter link fields never resolved Obsidian-style values:
- makeResolver step 1's strict slug regex rejected digit-leading folders
(90-people/nicolai) and nested paths (a/b/c); broadened to any slug-shaped
value with an EXACT getPage match only (no fuzzy, no false positives).
- extractFrontmatterLinks resolved "[[dir/slug]]" verbatim; new anchored
unwrapWikilink() strips wholly-wrapped [[...]] (and |alias/#heading/^block)
before resolution. Bare values pass through unchanged.
- Same broadened slug-shape applied to the fs-path synthetic resolver in
extractLinksFromFile (exact Set membership guards it), so the fs
frontmatter path resolves PARA-numbered slugs too.
PR #2434 — the cycle's incremental extract (extractForSlugs) extracted body
links only, so externally-edited YAML (sources:/related:) edges drifted
stale. Adds an includeFrontmatter opt (threaded as a param after sourceId,
which master added in #1747/#1503 after the PR was cut), gated by the new
config key autopilot.incremental_extract_include_frontmatter (default off,
preserves body-only behavior).
Tests: unwrapWikilink unit coverage, broadened-resolver + end-to-end
frontmatter cases in test/link-extraction.test.ts; fs-resolver digit-leading
case in test/extract.test.ts; incremental gate off/on cases in
test/extract-incremental.test.ts.

The gate read loadConfig() (file/env plane) only, but the documented enable
command — gbrain config set autopilot.incremental_extract_include_frontmatter
true — writes the DB plane via engine.setConfig, so the feature could never be
turned on the documented way (silent no-op, #2120 class). Now the file plane
wins when the key is present there; otherwise the DB plane is consulted,
matching the autopilot.auto_drain.* read pattern.

Adds a `perplexity` embedding recipe (OpenAI-compatible at
https://api.perplexity.ai/v1, auth via PERPLEXITY_API_KEY only — never an
OPENAI_API_KEY fallback) covering pplx-embed-v1-0.6b and pplx-embed-v1-4b.
Perplexity's /embeddings endpoint diverges from OpenAI's wire shape in two
places that break the AI SDK adapter, handled by a new perplexityCompatFetch
shim (mirrors the Voyage/ZeroEntropy pattern incl. the two-layer OOM caps):
- encoding_format only accepts base64_int8/base64_binary; the SDK's 'float'
default is forced to 'base64_int8' outbound.
- The response embedding is base64-encoded signed int8 components (natively
quantized); decoded to number[] inbound so the SDK's Zod schema validates.
Cosine similarity is scale-invariant, so raw int8 components rank correctly.
Flexible dims (Matryoshka-style 128..native max: 1024 for 0.6b, 2560 for 4b)
validate fail-loud in dims.ts + the init preflight; `dimensions` is
Perplexity's native field so no wire translation is needed. default_dims is
1024 (works on a plain vector column for both models); the 4b model's full
2560 width rides the existing halfvec (>2000 dims) storage/ANN path. Pricing
entries land in embedding-pricing.ts.

* fix(schema): make bundled pack inspection truthful (#2029)
Two live bugs:
- parseYamlMini had no block-scalar support, so a 'description: |' swallowed
every following top-level key — the active gbrain-recommended pack loaded
with 0 page types. Add parseBlockScalar for |/|-/|+ and >/>-/>+ in both
mapping and sequence-sibling positions.
- The bundled-pack list was hand-copied in three places (operations.ts had 2
names, mutate.ts had 3, load-active.ts had 7). New single registry
src/core/schema-pack/bundled.ts carries all 7 shipped packs; every
consumer derives from it.

* fix(minions): subagent default client resolves config-stored Anthropic key (#2048)

failed auth. anthropic-key.ts now exports resolveAnthropicKey() (env first,

## [0.44.1.0] - 2026-08-11
**Any current model works now. gbrain stops rejecting model ids it hasn't heard of.**
New models ship every week. Until now, gbrain kept a built-in list of "known" models for each major provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google), and if you configured a model that list hadn't learned yet, gbrain refused to run it, even when the provider was already serving that model to everyone else. In practice that meant a brand-new model like `openai:gpt-5.6-sol` read as "not available" on an install whose binary shipped three weeks earlier, and the error message steered people toward older models instead. Worse, the workaround was inconsistent: the same model id worked when set as `models.default` but was rejected when set as `models.think`, for no reason a user could see.
That whole class of failure is gone. gbrain now checks only what a provider can do (Anthropic has no embedding models, Voyage has no chat models). Which model id you use is your call. If you name one that does not exist, the provider says so at call time, in its own words, and gbrain shows you that message instead of guessing.
How to use it:
```bash
gbrain config set models.default openai:gpt-5.6-sol # any current model id
gbrain config set models.think google:gemini-3.6-flash # per-task keys work identically now
gbrain models doctor # pre-flight: probes your configured models live
```
What changed in each case:
| You do | Before | Now |
|---|---|---|
| Configure a model newer than your gbrain binary | Rejected: "not listed... Known models: ..." | Runs |
| Set that model via `models.think` / `models.dream.*` | Rejected even when `models.default` worked | Identical behavior on every key |
| Typo a model id | Caught instantly, locally | Fails at the provider with the provider's own message; `gbrain models doctor` still catches it pre-flight without spending tokens |
| Use a chat model from an embeddings-only provider | Rejected | Still rejected (that check is about the provider, not the model) |
Things to watch: a typo'd model id now costs one failed provider call instead of failing free and instantly. Run `gbrain models doctor` after changing model config if you want the old fail-fast feel. `gbrain think`'s fallback answer now carries the provider's actual error text, so a bad model id no longer reads as an API-key problem.
## To take advantage of v0.44.1.0
No migration, no schema change. `gbrain upgrade` is enough.
1. **Set any current model:**
```bash
gbrain config set models.default <provider>:<model>
```
2. **Verify:**
```bash
gbrain models doctor
```
3. **If a model you know is real still fails,** the error now comes from the provider; check the id spelling and your key, then file an issue at https://github.com/garrytan/gbrain/issues with the `gbrain models doctor` output.
### Itemized changes
- `src/core/ai/model-resolver.ts` — `assertTouchpoint(recipe, touchpoint, modelId)` checks provider touchpoint capability only; the native-recipe model allowlist throw is removed. Recipe `models:` arrays remain as data: `models[0]` default selection for `--model <provider>` shorthand and env-ready pickers, guard-test fixtures for the repo's own hardcoded defaults, and `gbrain providers list` display.
- `src/core/ai/gateway.ts` — the extended-models registry (`_extendedModels`, `registerExtendedModel`, `registerConfigSelectedChatModel`, both registration loops, and the tier-resolution loop that fed them) is deleted. Every per-task model key (`models.think`, `models.dream.*`, `facts.extraction_model`, ...) now behaves exactly like `models.default`. `gateway.rerank()` keeps its own model-list check: each listed reranker id maps to a known request/response wire shape.
- `src/core/think/index.ts` — the graceful "no LLM available" sentinel surfaces the thrown `AIConfigError`'s own message and fix (which key is missing, or what the provider rejected) instead of generic key advice.
- `src/core/minions/handlers/contextual-reindex-per-chunk.ts` — drops the now-dead chat-model registration call.
- Tests — `test/gateway-tier-extended-models.test.ts` deleted (pinned the removed machinery); rejection tests across `test/ai/`, `test/think-*`, and `test/cycle/` now pin the pass-through contract; `unknown_model` still fires for providers lacking the touchpoint, so every probe reason stays reachable; new test pins the sentinel carrying the provider's error text.
- Docs — `docs/architecture/KEY_FILES.md` entries for the resolver, gateway, and reindex handler updated to the new contract.
## [0.44.0.0] - 2026-06-12
**BrainBench: agent memory now has a scorecard.** `gbrain eval brainbench` is a public, reproducible, cross-harness conformance suite for the four ways agent memory fails — and from this release forward, every memory PR must hold or move its numbers against a committed baseline that CI compares against master's own copy.
Four suites, scored per harness seam:
- **know-to-ask** — does memory volunteer the right context unprompted, and stay silent when it should? (`know_to_ask_failure_rate` + the anti-gaming `false_fire_rate` — "always inject" can't win both)
- **push precision / recall** — when context is volunteered, was it the right context, within each harness's injection budget?
- **write-back fidelity** — do conversation facts survive the PRODUCTION conversation→memory pipeline with correct provenance? (graded through a new injectable-extractor seam on the conversation-facts pipeline, so CI executes the shipped segmentation/insertion/dedup code with zero LLM calls; `--llm` opts into the real extractor under a run-scoped budget)
- **continuity** — a decision recorded in one session, recalled by a different harness on the same brain
Plus two cross-cutting measures: `source_isolation_violations` (gates at zero, every run — cross-source leakage is the data-leak invariant) and `avg_injected_tokens` (the intrusion budget, reported per harness).
Every scoreboard row carries a `seam` label: the `openclaw` row exercises the shipped context-engine pipeline byte-for-byte (`production`); the `claude-code` and `codex` rows grade the same gbrain primitives through those harnesses' injection-shape contracts (`contract`) — the exported wire types are the contracts future integrations implement, and the rows flip to `production` with continuous numbers when they land. At v0.44.0.0 the production seam reads: know-to-ask failure 0.15 (the documented v1 reflex limits, now measured), push recall 0.81 at precision 1.0, write-back fidelity 1.0, continuity 1.0, zero isolation violations.
### Added
- `gbrain eval brainbench` — hermetic by default (in-memory PGLite, no keys, no LLM, ~7s for the full corpus), with `--harness`, `--suite`, `--fixtures DIR --gold DIR` (the foreign-runner surface), `--json`, `--out` (the canonical CI artifact), `--compare`, `--update-baseline`, `--justification`, `--allow-regression`, `--include-holdout`, and `--llm --budget-usd`. Exit codes are the contract: 0 pass, 1 regression, 2 error/inconclusive.
- A 141-fixture / 241-gold-turn benchmark corpus across 7 stratified categories, generated deterministically (seed 42) over a whole-cloth fictional universe with SEALED gold (a `gold` key inside a fixture is a validation error; adapters only ever see sanitized turns), a ~15% holdout split, and a blind double-label validation receipt (96.4% agreement) recorded in the corpus ledger. Rebuild byte-identically with `bun evals/brainbench/generator/gen.ts`.
- Published interchange contract for foreign runners: JSON Schemas for fixtures, gold, results, and baselines under `evals/brainbench/schema/` — point the CLI at any conforming corpus and parse the schema'd receipt back.
- A CI gate (`brainbench` job + `scripts/ci-brainbench-gate.sh`) hardened through four adversarial review rounds: it compares against MASTER's committed baseline (a PR cannot rewrite the thing it's graded by), any baseline edit without a fixture change must byte-match the actual run, corpus changes route through a bless mode where shrinking gold coverage or regressing a metric requires a written justification visible in the PR diff, baselines bind their run config, and the gate fails hard — never silently open — on broken refs or deleted baselines.
- Eleven new metrics in the metric glossary (plain-English definitions in `docs/eval/METRIC_GLOSSARY.md`); every JSON response carries the standard `_meta.metric_glossary` block.
- Methodology doc at `docs/eval/BRAINBENCH.md`: seam disclosure, formulas, pre-registered expectations, determinism posture, gate governance, gold methodology, and accepted residuals.
### Changed
- `gbrain eval run-all --suites brainbench` now actually runs the suite in-process (closing the long-standing orchestrator-stub follow-up) and records one result per sweep under `EvalRunRecord` schema v3 with `mode: 'n/a'` — benchmark records no longer fabricate a search mode.
- The conversation-facts pipeline accepts an injectable per-segment extractor (default unchanged — the LLM path); this is the seam the write-back suite grades production code through.
- The synthetic-corpus privacy guard now scans the BrainBench corpus dirs (fixtures AND gold) alongside the calibration corpus, and the fixture-authoring guide adds scenario-level privacy rules: scenarios are invented whole-cloth, never anonymized from real situations.
- The CI aggregate (`test-status`) now checks the brainbench job's result explicitly — a failing memory gate fails the branch-protection check.
### Fixed
- CLI exit codes for the new command route through the shared write-fence + aliveness-grace exit seam, so PGLite's WASM exit-code stomping and Bun's exit-time stdout discard can't corrupt the CI contract.
To take advantage of v0.44.0.0: run `gbrain eval brainbench` — no setup, no keys, no brain required. If it ever reports something broken after an upgrade, `bun evals/brainbench/generator/gen.ts` rebuilds the corpus byte-identically and `gbrain eval brainbench --update-baseline` re-derives the baseline from an actual run; both are safe to re-run any time.
## [0.43.0.0] - 2026-08-08
**Your agent now has five memory verbs it can actually reach.** Cathedral 1 freezes
a stable, versioned memory protocol — `recall`, `remember`, `entity`, `synthesize`,
`forget` — over the brain's operation catalog, the way Postgres speaks one wire
protocol to every client. Point any MCP harness at it (`claude mcp add gbrain --
gbrain serve --surface verbs`, or the Codex/OpenClaw equivalents) and the agent sees
exactly five self-describing tools instead of a wall of internal ops. Every response
carries what it is, why it matched, where it came from, and what it spent (the token
budget on `recall`, latency on `entity`, the full cost block on `synthesize`) — and the
contract never breaks: v1 field names and meanings are frozen, changes are
additive-forever.
What you can do now that you couldn't before:
- **Remember a fact once, recall it in a fresh session — in any harness.**`remember`
takes mandatory provenance (where the fact came from) and an optional expiry, dedupes
against what's already known, and supersedes the old fact when it changes
("X joined acme-example" → "X left acme-example" — the outdated fact expires, the
history stays). `recall` retrieves saved facts and,
with a query, budget-packed page snippets — the server enforces the token budget and
tells you what it dropped instead of trusting the client to trim.
- **Look up one person/company/project as a compact card in well under 100ms, zero LLM
calls.** `entity` resolves a name to a privacy-safe card (who/what, aliases,
last-touched, open threads, top typed edges) — or, on a miss, near-miss suggestions
instead of a dead end.
- **Reason across pages when you actually need it.**`synthesize` is the explicitly
expensive verb (it says so in its own description), with a best-effort cost block so
agents choose it deliberately. No API key configured? It says `unavailable` with a
fix, never a fake answer.
- **Certify any memory server against the contract.**`gbrain protocol --json` publishes
the machine-readable spec; `gbrain protocol conformance [--target <endpoint>]` runs the
frozen-contract test suite against gbrain's own server or any MCP endpoint — and
with a live LLM routing eval: all concept phrasings route to `query`, and personal
questions still route to the salience ops.
- **"Got results" is no longer treated as "got everything."** The descriptions, docs, and
conventions now say it plainly: a populated `search` result set is not proof of
coverage, and `query` is still top-K — literal exhaustive enumeration belongs to
`list_pages` pagination.
- **The CLI nudges you when it can help.** A concept-shaped `gbrain search "..."` prints a
one-line hint on stderr suggesting the equivalent `gbrain query` call (results stay
clean on stdout; `--quiet` silences it; never auto-reroutes).
- **`think` cost accounting reads consistently.** When no LLM call ran (stubbed or no
API key), `usage` is now uniformly `null` in `--json` output rather than sometimes
missing.
To take advantage of v0.43.0.0: re-run `gbrain serve` with `--surface verbs` to give
your coding agent the five-verb memory protocol (or keep `--surface full` for the
complete operation catalog — both speak the verbs). Run `gbrain protocol conformance`
to self-certify, and `gbrain protocol stats` to watch adoption. Memories your agent
saves are readable by every agent connected to the brain by default; pass
`visibility: "private"` for local-only facts. If your agent instructions or skill
files copy the old "search first, query if thin" rule, refresh them from
`skills/conventions/brain-first.md` — the shipped skillpack carries the corrected
routing.
## [0.42.76.0] - 2026-08-08
**Mistyped or unsupported flags now fail loudly instead of being silently ignored — including the ones that were supposed to make a command safe.**
**Strict flag validation, CLI-wide.** Every gbrain command now rejects a flag it does not understand, with a clear error naming the flag and the command, before any work runs. Before, commands read their flags ad hoc and ignored the rest — so `gbrain post-upgrade --dry-run` accepted the flag, ignored it, and applied migrations for real. That class is gone: the legal flags for every command are derived from each command's own source into a generated registry, checked before dispatch, and a command may only advertise a safety flag like `--dry-run` if its code actually reads it. On commands routed through the operations contract, a trailing `--dry-run` is now a real rehearsal switch rather than a no-op. `--json` invocations get the same error as a structured payload, so scripts fail cleanly too.
**A word of warning (intentional breaking change):** cron jobs or scripts that pass stray, misspelled, or long-removed flags have been running on luck — the flag did nothing. Those invocations now exit with an error naming the flag. That is the point: fix the invocation once and it means what it says forever. Everything after `--` is passthrough and remains untouched.
**Upgrades can't wedge on forward-referenced columns anymore — as a class.** The v0.42.56.0-era startup wedge (a schema blob referencing a column that pre-existing brains didn't have yet) had two more latent instances waiting in the jobs table. Both are now probed and healed at startup, and the schema coverage guard was rewritten to cross-reference every column referenced by the embedded schema against the set of columns any migration has ever added — so a new forward reference cannot ship without its startup probe. A recovery test walks the exact journey an affected brain takes: failed upgrade, retry on the fixed binary, converge with no leftover state blocking the way.
**Remote agents get more, within the same fences.** The `think` operation is now available to remote MCP callers as a read-only synthesis — the local CLI can still persist results, while remote callers are forced read-only. Chunk reads now resolve through the same source-scope rules as page reads, so a federated grant that can open a page can also read that page's chunks, and a caller without the grant cannot reach chunks outside its own floor. Chunk payloads also stop carrying raw embedding vectors over the wire — noticeably smaller responses with no behavior change, since no consumer ever read them. Two internal call sites that forward caller identity now treat anything ambiguous as untrusted, matching the fail-closed rule the rest of the codebase already follows.
**Source-bound clients can be minted over HTTP.** The `/admin/api/register-client` endpoint now accepts `source` and `federatedRead` bindings, mirroring the CLI's `--source` / `--federated-read` flags — so an admin UI or provisioning proxy can create a client confined to a specific brain source without shelling out to the CLI. Omitting both preserves the historical default, and invalid source ids get a structured 400.
**`gbrain doctor` and `repair-jsonb` see further and misfire less.** The double-encoded-JSON scan now covers the subagent execution columns, and the damage test requires the stored text to actually parse as JSON before flagging it — a legitimate string value that merely starts with `[` or `{` (a log line, a code snippet) is no longer misclassified, and a repair pass can no longer corrupt it. One damaged table no longer aborts the scan of the rest.
### To take advantage of v0.42.76.0
## [0.42.75.0] - 2026-08-08
**The "PGLite crashes on macOS 26" era is over: gbrain now repairs a torn brain in place, automatically, with your data preserved.**
The dreaded `RuntimeError: Aborted()` at startup — the one that made zero-config brains unusable after a macOS upgrade and pushed people onto Homebrew Postgres — was never a macOS or WASM bug. An unclean shutdown (typically the upgrade reboot) tears the write-ahead log inside the data dir, and every open after that dies replaying it. gbrain now detects that failure on any command, backs up the WAL state to a sibling directory, resets it in place (the pg_resetwal recovery Postgres has shipped for decades, ported to run against PGLite data dirs), and reopens your brain — pages, embeddings, and history intact. Transactions that never reached a checkpoint may be lost; that is the standard trade for a database that would otherwise not open at all.
### Added
- **Automatic WAL repair on startup.** A torn-WAL abort self-heals on the next gbrain command: backup → in-place reset → retry, with a loud notice naming the backup and recommending `gbrain doctor`. Disable with `GBRAIN_PGLITE_WAL_REPAIR=off`.
- **`gbrain pglite-repair`** — the deliberate version: `--dry-run` gives a read-only diagnosis of the data dir; `--yes` runs the same in-place repair manually. Refuses to operate while any live process holds the brain, and never force-removes another process's lock.
- **`gbrain doctor` diagnoses unopenable PGLite brains.** A new `pglite_data_dir` check reads the data dir from disk when connect fails, names the right recovery rung (repair vs rebuild), inventories repair backups, and escalates when repairs keep recurring — the signal that something is still killing gbrain mid-write.
- **Recovery guardrails throughout:** repair runs only under a cleanly-acquired lock (never after taking over another process's lock, with a quarantine window when a lock's holder couldn't be verified); a live database — including a native Postgres one — is refused by a `postmaster.pid` liveness check; repeated attempts inside one corruption episode reuse one backup instead of stacking copies (newest three episodes retained); a cooldown stops repair loops from silently eating data on machines where crashes keep recurring; and every restore path reports honestly whether your original files are back in place or waiting in the backup.
### Changed
- **`gbrain reinit-pglite` works bare.** The embedding model and dimensions now default from your config file, so the rebuild rung of the recovery ladder is one command mid-outage (explicit flags still win; environment overrides are deliberately ignored so a stale shell export can't change the rebuild target).
- **Honest error messages.** The startup-abort hint now names the real cause (torn WAL after an unclean shutdown), states exactly what auto-repair did or why it stood down, and lays out the full ladder: repair → rebuild → engine switch. The docs that claimed PGLite is "incompatible with macOS 26.x" have been rewritten (README, INSTALL, ENGINES) — thanks @roysaurav for the original native-Postgres walkthrough, which remains the engine-switch rung.
- Message-less WASM error objects no longer surface as `[object Object]`.
### Fixed
- The classifier that routes startup failures now matches the abort message PGLite actually produces (it previously fell through to a generic hint), while catalog corruption keeps routing to rebuild — WAL repair is never suggested for damage it cannot fix.
- Lock-file reads can no longer misclassify a healthy live holder as corrupt (writes are atomic now), a holder owned by another user is treated as alive, and an in-flight acquisition is no longer mistaken for a corrupt lock.
Credit where due: @yang1996202-cpu (#2575), @AndreLYL (#223), and @roysaurav (#1670) for reports and diagnosis, the #223 thread contributors whose recoveries proved the root cause, and @yestheboxer, whose rejected upstream recovery PR (electric-sql/pglite#994) this port builds on.
### To take advantage of v0.42.75.0
```bash
gbrain upgrade
```
Nothing to configure. If a cron job or script starts failing with `unknown flag`, that invocation was passing a flag that did nothing — remove or fix the flag and it will not regress silently again.
### For contributors
Community fixes absorbed with credit: @colinagent (#2598 think read-scope; the upgrade-rewind e2e pattern from #2623), @guim4dev (#2016 register-client source bindings), @vinsew (#597 repair-jsonb coverage extension), @javieraldape (#2494/#2531 output-correctness class — BigInt-safe local rendering and the search `--json` regression pin land here; parts of both PRs shipped earlier from master). Thank you — superseded PRs are being closed with notes.
The unit-test runner is now memory-safe on machines running multiple workspaces: shard concurrency adapts to actually-available memory, and a serial rescue lane re-runs files that died to OOM or external kills before calling them failures — a red suite now means real failures, not memory pressure. The flag registry regenerates via `bun run build:flag-registry` and is pinned by freshness, drift, and consumption-evidence guards.
If your brain currently won't open, that's it — the next command repairs it. If you'd rather look first: `gbrain pglite-repair --dry-run`.
## [0.42.74.0] - 2026-08-07
**Two fixes for agents that reach a brain over the network: takes-holder visibility now works the way you set it, and the voice recipe is safe by default.**
Legacy bearer tokens served over `gbrain serve --http` now honor the takes-holder allow-list you set with `gbrain auth permissions <token> set-takes-holders`. Before, that setting was read on one serving path but silently ignored on the other, so a remote agent saw only world-held takes no matter what you granted — a token you widened to see brain-held takes saw none of them, and a token you narrowed still saw the public ones. Both directions now behave as configured, an empty grant means "no takes" (not "the default set"), and the two serving paths decode and apply the grant through one shared piece of code so they cannot drift apart again. Tokens with no grant continue to fall back to public-only, so nothing widens on upgrade.
The bundled voice-agent recipe (`recipes/agent-voice`) ships secure by default. Its reference server now refuses cross-origin browser requests unless you name the origins in `AGENT_VOICE_CORS_ORIGIN`, gates the endpoints that spend your OpenAI key or read your brain so a stray web page can't trigger them, and listens on loopback only until you set `HOST` to expose it. The voice page you run locally is unaffected. Because this recipe is copied into your own repo at install time, `gbrain integrations install agent-voice --refresh` picks up the hardened version.
### To take advantage of v0.42.74.0
```bash
gbrain upgrade
```
Then, if you serve a brain to remote agents, set each token's takes-holder scope with `gbrain auth permissions <token> set-takes-holders world,brain` (or your desired holders). Voice-recipe operators run `gbrain integrations install agent-voice --refresh --target <your-host-repo>`, then set `AGENT_VOICE_CORS_ORIGIN` if a browser on another origin needs access and `HOST=0.0.0.0` only if the server must listen beyond loopback.
### For contributors
Both issues were reported by external security researchers who supplied fixes. Ship-stage adversarial review hardened two more spots: the two serving paths now share one permissions-decode helper (not just the allow-list parser) so a malformed double-encoded row can't make them disagree, and the hot-memory cache key encodes the allow-list collision-free so the empty-vs-absent distinction holds for every holder value. Credit @Derek95king (takes-holder threading) and @sebastiondev (voice-recipe CORS).
## [0.42.73.2] - 2026-08-05
**A write that deduplication redirects onto an existing page is now checked against the write scope of whoever asked for it.** When the same content arrives under a new slug, gbrain recognises it and points the write at the page that already holds it. That redirected target is now tested against the caller's own scope — under whichever mechanism confines that caller. One of the two mechanisms was consulted at that point; both are now.
Nothing changes for local CLI use, or for clients that hold unrestricted write access — neither was ever scope-confined. A confined caller whose write dedups onto a page **inside** its own scope keeps working exactly as before; that redirect is a feature and it is preserved, with a regression test to keep it that way. A confined caller whose write dedups onto a page **outside** its scope now gets `permission_denied`, with the remedy in the message: drop the `id:` frontmatter field, or change the content, to write a new page under your own prefix. The denial does not name the page the write resolved to.
Recommended for any brain served over HTTP to scope-restricted clients.
### To take advantage of v0.42.73.2
```bash
gbrain upgrade
```
Nothing to configure. Existing clients keep their scopes unchanged, and no re-registration is needed.
### For contributors
Reported privately by an external security researcher, who supplied a fix and a regression test with it. The version that shipped composes the two existing scope-matching rules into a single predicate rather than restating either one, so the check at the door and the check after a redirect cannot drift apart; the audit the report prompted closed the same gap on one further caller path.
## [0.42.73.1] - 2026-08-05
**Removes the PR gate that v0.42.73.0 added, and reverts the v0.42.72.1 contribution-policy change it enforced.** The gate cannot function on this repository, and it caused a real incident before that was understood.
The gate needed two things this repository does not grant it: an `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` Actions secret for its verdict, and read-write workflow permissions to post a comment or set a label. Without them it can only skip. Worse, on its first live runs a read-only token turned every API call into a 403, the code treated that as a crash, and the check went red on an outside contributor's pull request four times with no comment explaining why. That was fixed in v0.42.73.0, but a check that runs on every pull request and can never reach a verdict does not earn its place in the repository.
The v0.42.72.1 contribution policy is also withdrawn: the human-written intent paragraph and gbrain-in-use screenshot are no longer required on issues and pull requests. `CONTRIBUTING.md`, both issue templates, and the pull-request template return to their pre-2026-08-02 state, and issues and PRs are reviewed on their content by maintainers, as before.
The code is preserved in git history at v0.42.73.0 and can be restored if the repository ever grants those permissions. If it is restored, the mechanical half — the intent and screenshot check, the version-first title rule, the red flags — should render to the Actions job summary instead of a comment, because that needs no token permission and no API key.
### To take advantage of v0.42.73.1
```bash
gbrain upgrade
```
Nothing to change. Everything else v0.42.73.0 shipped — the five contributed correctness fixes, `slug_filter`, and the four dependency pins that cleared six CVEs — is unaffected and stays.
## [0.42.73.0] - 2026-08-04
**Every incoming pull request now gets a verdict before anyone reads it — and five contributed fixes for silent wrong answers.**
**The PR gate.** Open a pull request against gbrain and an automated check now posts a single verdict comment within a minute: **merge-lane**, **close-lane**, or **needs-maintainer**, with its reasons and a checklist of what a human reviewer should verify for that specific diff. It also checks mechanically that the description carries the human-written intent paragraph and the screenshot of gbrain in use that `CONTRIBUTING.md` requires, and that the title leads with its version.
It is deliberately **advisory** — a triage signal and a reviewer checklist, not an authorization boundary. A green verdict is not permission to merge; a maintainer still decides. Pull-request code is never checked out or executed: the verdict comes from the description and the diff read through the API. Maintainer, bot, and draft pull requests are exempt from the intent-and-screenshot floor only (release automation cannot screenshot itself); they still receive the full verdict. Where the rubric can be argued with, the decision is taken away from it: a merge-lane recommendation is downgraded automatically when a diff adds a dependency, a new provider recipe, or new config keys, edits workflows, deletes a test, exceeds 40 files or 400 net source lines, or changes `src/` without touching a single test.
**Your import output parses again.** `gbrain import <dir> --json` printed five informational lines to stdout ahead of the JSON payload, so anything parsing that output read zero imports while its own bookkeeping recorded the files as ingested — and the next run skipped them permanently. Those lines now go to stderr under `--json`; human output is byte-for-byte unchanged.
**`sources harden --dry-run` no longer changes anything.** It reset the helper's executable bit before reaching the dry-run check, so a documented preview quietly mutated permissions.
**Telemetry records the model that actually ran.** Two nightly-cycle phases wrote a hardcoded or unrelated model name into their verdict cache, evidence signature, and spend metering while the gateway ran whatever chat model you configured. On any brain with a non-default model, the recorded history was fiction.
**`gbrain integrity` stops contradicting itself.** Dead-link findings were counted in the "Review queue" total but written to a different file, so `integrity review` disagreed with `integrity auto`'s own summary. They now get their own line.
**Retype rules can address API-ingested pages.** Mapping rules could only filter on a file path, which is empty for every page written through `put_page` — so no rule could target that whole class. A new `slug_filter` filters on the slug instead, and combines with the path filter when both are given.
Also: the `integrity` source comment no longer documents a `--dry-run` subcommand form that exits with an error.
### To take advantage of v0.42.73.0
```bash
gbrain upgrade
gbrain import <dir> --json | jq . # now parses
gbrain integrity auto # dead links reported separately
```
Nothing to configure for the gate — it runs on pull requests to this repository. If you maintain a fork and want it, the workflow needs an `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` secret; without one it skips loudly rather than blocking anyone.

The gate went through six rounds against two independent blind reviewers, each judging cold. The findings that changed the design most were not exploits but false positives: a code fence that swallowed the rest of a description, an explanation written as bullet points scoring zero words, a word floor stricter than the published policy, and a comment telling contributors to reopen a pull request that was never closed. Those four descriptions are now permanent regression fixtures — a gate that insults a first-time contributor is worse than no gate. Two properties are deliberate and documented rather than fixed: the mechanical floor is a floor (a determined author clears it in seconds), and a bare URL in a cited reason still autolinks.

## [0.42.72.1] - 2026-08-02
**Every issue and pull request now needs a human-written paragraph and a screenshot of gbrain actually being used.**
Effective immediately, opening an issue or a PR requires two things from you personally: a paragraph you wrote yourself saying why you're opening it — what you were doing, what went wrong or what you needed, why it matters — and a screenshot of your terminal, agent session, or logs showing the real situation. Rough grammar is fine and preferred over polish. AI-generated or AI-polished intent text is not accepted; the paragraph is the human part. AI assistance for the *code* is still welcome.
Issues and PRs missing either are closed without review, and can be reopened once both are added. Scrub private names, companies, keys, and brain contents from screenshots before attaching — a redacted screenshot is fine, a missing one is not.
The requirement is stated in `CONTRIBUTING.md` and pre-filled in the bug-report and feature-request issue templates plus a new pull-request template, so the fields are in front of you when you open one.
## [0.42.72.0] - 2026-08-01
**Per-person write isolation inside a shared source, and a guide for putting gbrain behind a multi-user agent harness.**
Until now, `--source` was the only write boundary: a client could write anywhere inside the source it was scoped to, and keeping each person in their own folder was a convention the agent had to honor by itself. Registering a client with `--bound-slug-prefixes` now makes that boundary real. Writes outside the bound prefixes are refused by the server, on every op that can name a page.
**Adding a binding to an existing client narrows it on purpose.** Ops that write by something other than a page slug can't be confined to a prefix, so a bound client is refused them outright rather than left with an unfenced path: `extract_entities`, `extract_facts`, `forget_fact`, `ontology_propose`, `sources_add`/`sources_remove`, and `POST /ingest`. `put_page`'s automatic fact extraction is skipped for the same reason — it writes to entity pages the caller never named. Reads are unaffected, and unbound clients behave exactly as before. The gate keys on "anything that is not a plain read", so an op added in a future release is refused to bound clients until it is explicitly fenced.
Both prefix spellings work: the `wiki/agents/alice/*` glob that `submit_agent` bindings already use, and the plainer `emp-alice/` form. Change a binding in place with `gbrain auth rescope-client <id> --bound-slug-prefixes <p1,p2|none>` — existing tokens pick it up on their next request, so no secret rotation is needed when someone joins or leaves a team.
**New guide: [gbrain as the company brain for a qm deployment](docs/integrations/qm-harness.md).** qm is a multiplayer agent harness where each employee and each channel gets an isolated agent scope. The guide covers the whole path — one central `gbrain serve --http`, the thin-client binary baked into the sandbox image, one OAuth client per scope, and a roster-driven provisioning script that converges the brain to a list of people and channels. It also states plainly what the model does *not* give you: within a shared source, reads stay source-granular, so prefix isolation is a write boundary, not a privacy boundary.
gbrain upgrade # or: bun install -g gbrain@0.42.72.0
gbrain apply-migrations --yes # required: the fence refuses writes it cannot evaluate
Verify it took, from a client holding that credential — the first write should succeed and the second should be refused:
```bash
gbrain put partners/alice-example/notes/test --content "mine"
gbrain put partners/bob-example/notes/test --content "not mine"
```
## [0.42.71.0] - 2026-08-01
**GBrain now publishes real releases. Every version bump from here on lands on the [Releases page](https://github.com/garrytan/gbrain/releases) with organized notes and downloadable binaries — and binary self-update finally works.**
Until now the repo had no releases at all: `gbrain check-update` could tell you a new version existed, but `gbrain self-upgrade` downloaded from an empty releases API and failed every time, and anyone trying to follow what shipped had to read raw commit history. That's what people have been (rightly) complaining about.
From this release forward, every version bump automatically:
- **Tags the commit** (`v0.42.71.0`) so versions are addressable in git.
- **Publishes a GitHub Release** whose notes are that version's CHANGELOG entry — the same organized, user-facing writeup, not a commit dump.
- **Attaches compiled binaries** for macOS (arm64) and Linux (x64), so `gbrain self-upgrade` and fresh binary installs work without a toolchain.
The pipeline is idempotent: a partial release (tag exists, assets incomplete) is repaired on the next run instead of wedging. It runs post-merge, so a flaky release build can never turn master red. Releases for today's two fix waves (v0.42.69.0 and v0.42.70.0) have been backfilled with their CHANGELOG notes so the Releases page tells the whole story of the day; binaries attach from v0.42.71.0 onward.
### To take advantage of v0.42.71.0
```bash
gbrain check-update # now resolves against real releases
gbrain self-upgrade # now actually downloads a binary
```
Or browse https://github.com/garrytan/gbrain/releases for organized per-version notes.
### For contributors
`docs/RELEASING.md` gains the release-publication section; `scripts/changelog-entry.sh` extracts a version's CHANGELOG section (used for release notes — keep entries under the standard `## [X.Y.Z.W]` headers and they publish verbatim). The workflow keeps all actions SHA-pinned, tightens top-level permissions to `contents: read` with write scoped to the release job only, and env-binds all interpolations.

## [0.42.70.0] - 2026-08-01
**Community fix wave two: 18 contributed fixes. The headline: several things you asked gbrain to do were being quietly ignored — and now they aren't.**
**`--brain` now actually routes.** The documented `gbrain query "X" --brain media-team` parsed the flag and then ran against your host brain anyway. It now routes to the named brain, and an unknown brain name fails loudly instead of silently answering from the wrong database.
**`sync --dry-run` no longer touches anything.** A dry run could pull from the remote and — if your sync strategy had changed — delete indexed pages before the "dry run" early-return was reached. Previews are now read-only, full stop.
**`apply-migrations --yes` applies.** It previously warned that your schema was behind and then printed "All migrations up to date" with exit 0. If you have wedged brains that upgrade never healed, this was why.
**Links between your pages resolve the way you write them.** Dir-qualified wikilinks with raw Obsidian names (`[[wiki/entities/AI 3.0]]`) now resolve to the sync-slugified page; references in non-whitelisted directories are no longer silently dropped; and a scan bug that could add an edge to a *parent* page you never referenced was caught in the wave's composite review and fixed before shipping.
**Windows and self-hosters.** Markdown files keep LF endings so frontmatter parsers stop mis-reading on Windows checkouts; the archive-crawler path gate no longer denies every real Windows path (and no longer fail-opens on NTFS case-insensitivity); a chat-synopsis tier that was hardcoded to one provider now follows your configured models; vector search asks the index for as many candidates as it was told to consider.
**Quieter, more honest infrastructure.** `serve --http` no longer leaves an orphan holding the database lock after Ctrl-C; a minion child that fails to launch settles immediately instead of hanging its slot; doctor gains checks for content-hash duplicates, undeclared database-only pages, stale heartbeats, and a tamper-evident manifest for the skills directory; federated reads respect per-source isolation settings in two more paths; and the security docs were rewritten to describe fixes without cataloguing attack surface.
gbrain upgrade
gbrain extract --stale # re-extracts links under the fixed resolver
gbrain doctor # includes the new silent-failure checks
```
If your brain uses `link_resolution.global_basename` and was populated before this release, a small number of superseded `wikilink_basename` edges can linger beside their newer typed replacements after re-extraction (edge writes are append-only by design). `gbrain reconcile-links` cleans them up; they are harmless to queries that dedup on target.
### For contributors
The composite review of this wave (two independent max-effort review passes over the combined branch) caught two interaction defects that per-PR review could not: the ungated bare-path scanner reading inside wikilink spans, and an extraction watermark set to a date that same-day stamps would already outrun. Both were fixed in the wave with discriminating tests. One reviewed-and-approved PR was deliberately held out: it conflicts semantically with its author's own sibling PR in this wave, and choosing between their two path-resolution mechanisms is the author's call.
**A community fix wave: 22 contributed fixes, most of them for work your brain was quietly not doing.**
The theme of this release is silent failure. A nightly cycle that reported `ok` while extracting nothing. An `embed` run that left a whole page unsearchable because one chunk in it failed, then exited 0. A health metric that recommended the same step forever because it counted one thing and the fix measured another. None of these looked broken from the outside, which is exactly why they lasted.
**If you run a local or non-Anthropic model, atom extraction was doing nothing.** With a cost cap set, any model absent from the pricing tables made the first work item hard-fail, which latched a budget flag and skipped every remaining item — while the phase still reported success. Local models (`ollama`, `llama-server`) now price at $0, because local inference costs electricity rather than tokens, so their caps stay enforceable. Genuinely unpriced paid providers still skip, but loudly now instead of silently.
**`gbrain embed` no longer lets one bad chunk darken an entire page,** and it exits non-zero when embeddings actually fail. If you have a cron wrapping `gbrain embed`, a brain holding permanently un-embeddable content will now turn that cron red. That is the intended change — it was previously green while silently incomplete.
**Non-Latin and diacritic names now survive mention extraction.** The by-mention tokenizer matched ASCII letters and digits only, so `Đà Nẵng` shredded into one- and two-character fragments and never matched anything. Names in Vietnamese, and any script outside ASCII, are now tokenized properly.
**Self-hosted embedding backends work.** Fixed-dimension OpenAI-compatible servers that reject an explicit `dimensions` parameter no longer get sent one when the requested width already matches the model's native width. A vector search on the embedded database also now asks the index for as many candidates as it was told to consider, instead of silently truncating the pool to the driver default.
**Multi-source brains route correctly in two more places.** A programmatic `sync_brain` call now syncs the source it was handed rather than the global default, and entity slug resolution keeps its path separators instead of flattening `people/alice-example` into an id no page can hold.
**Safer default on a destructive migration.** Submitting the type-unification job without an explicit `apply` now previews instead of applying. If you have that command in a runbook, add `"apply":true` — the playbooks and README were updated to show it.
Also: interrupted imports keep their tail instead of losing progress below the next 100-file boundary; `gbrain init --help` prints its own help instead of a stub; `doctor` stops reporting Windows drive paths as missing files under WSL and bounds its embedding health probe instead of retrying a permanent auth failure three times; cycle lock-release and stamp-write failures are visible instead of swallowed; and references to a `gbrain install` command that never existed are gone from the docs.
### To take advantage of v0.42.69.0
```bash
gbrain upgrade # or: bun install -g gbrain@0.42.69.0
gbrain doctor # confirms the health metric now converges
gbrain embed --stale # exits non-zero if anything is genuinely un-embeddable
```
If you use a local chat model for the nightly cycle, re-run it once and check that atoms actually land:
If you have `gbrain jobs submit unify-types` in a runbook or script, add `"apply":true` to its `--params` or it will now preview only.
### For contributors
Two defects existed only in the *combination* of otherwise-sound fixes, and were caught by reviewing the composed branch rather than the individual changes:
- `isModelPriceable` was introduced with a test asserting `llama-server` is unpriced, while a second fix in the same wave priced `llama-server` at $0. Together the assertion inverted. Reconciled by using a genuinely unpriced provider in the test and pinning the positive case: free local providers are priceable at $0, so their caps stay enforced.
- The type-unification default flipped to dry-run, but three agent-facing playbooks still presented a bare submit as the apply step. Because a second fix in the same wave also edited one of those files, each change looked self-consistent alone. Skills ship downstream via the skillpack, so this would have propagated a playbook whose apply step silently did nothing.
One reviewed fix was deliberately held back: extending the inline subagent drain to Postgres composes badly with this wave's minion connection-recovery work, since the drain calls the same queue operations without the new recovery path and can strand a child job in a per-run queue no worker will claim.
**If you run `gbrain reindex-frontmatter` or `gbrain backfill` on the default embedded database, they now work. Until this release both failed every time, after waiting 30 seconds.**
The embedded database allows one process at a time, and holds a lock to enforce it. These two commands opened a second connection to the same database from inside the process that already held that lock, then waited for a lock that could never be released — because the thing holding it was the waiting process itself. The wait ran its full 30 seconds and the command exited with an error naming a blocking process that was, in fact, itself. Both commands now reuse the connection that is already open.
Nothing changes for brains on Postgres, where a second connection was always allowed.
## To take advantage of v0.42.68.1
Nothing to undo — the commands failed without writing anything. Just run whichever you needed:
```bash
gbrain reindex-frontmatter
```
## [0.42.67.0] - 2026-07-28
**If you develop GBrain on Windows, the test and check commands now actually run. Until this release they were quietly doing almost nothing.**
`bun run test`, `bun run verify`, `bun run ci:local` and `bun run test:e2e` all hand off to shell scripts, and on Windows that hand-off was broken in two separate places. The commands did not stop with an obvious error. They reported a result, so a run could look finished when barely any of the checks had actually inspected anything. On a clean Windows clone, `bun run verify` got 1 check to pass and 31 to fail. It now gets 25 to pass and 7 to fail, and none of the 7 are caused by this change.
The first problem was line endings. Git for Windows installs with `core.autocrlf=true`, which rewrites shell scripts to Windows line endings when you clone or check out. Bash refuses to run those, so a script died on its second line before doing any work. The scripts stored in the repository were always correct; only the copy on your disk was wrong. A new `.gitattributes` pins every `.sh` file to Unix line endings at checkout, no matter how your Git is configured.
The second problem was how the checks were started. Thirty three of them pointed straight at a `.sh` file. On macOS and Linux the shell reads the `#!/usr/bin/env bash` line at the top of the script and runs it correctly. Bun on Windows does not do that, so those commands failed the moment they were called. They now go through `bash` explicitly, the same way the other eleven were already written.
Nothing changes for macOS and Linux. No stored file content moves, and no check behaves differently on those platforms.
## To take advantage of v0.42.67.0
Only Windows contributors need to do anything, and only once. `.gitattributes` applies at checkout time, so shell scripts already sitting on your disk keep their old line endings until you refresh them.
1. **Refresh the working copy** from the repository root:
```bash
git rm --cached -r . -q
git reset --hard
```
2. **Confirm bash can read the scripts:**
```bash
bash -n scripts/run-unit-parallel.sh
```
Silence means it worked. `$'\r': command not found` means step 1 did not take effect.
3. **Run the gate:**
```bash
bun run verify
```
### Itemized changes
- New root `.gitattributes` pins `*.sh text eol=lf`, so shell scripts check out with Unix line endings regardless of the contributor's `core.autocrlf` setting. All 59 tracked `.sh` files were already stored with Unix endings, so `git add --renormalize .` reports nothing to do and no stored content changes.
- `package.json` now routes the remaining 33 `.sh` check commands through `bash`, matching the 11 that already did. Every tracked `.sh` file carries a bash shebang (52 `#!/usr/bin/env bash` and 7 `#!/bin/bash`), so the treatment is uniform across all of them.
- The five `scripts/*.ts` entries still run under bun and are untouched.
- `CONTRIBUTING.md` gains a Windows section covering the one-time working-copy refresh and the `bash scripts/<name>.sh` convention for new checks.
- `docs/TESTING.md` records how the test commands dispatch through bash, and notes that three tree-walking checks plus `typecheck` can exceed the 120s per-check cap on Windows while passing on Linux and macOS.
## [0.42.66.1] - 2026-07-27
### Fixed
- `gbrain doctor` now treats embedding columns wider than pgvector's HNSW limit as healthy exact-scan configurations instead of prescribing an index PostgreSQL cannot build.
- Local CI now passes an empty Docker mount list correctly and compiles the embedded-WASM smoke binary from container-local storage on Docker Desktop.
## [0.42.66.0] - 2026-07-24
**54 verified fixes from the community backlog: background enrichment stops wasting money on dead pages, autopilot stops killing its own healthy runs, and search respects your settings.**
This release is the second big sweep through the open pull-request backlog, with every change reviewed and tested individually before merging. The theme is trust in the background machinery. The overnight "dream" cycle now remembers which pages produced nothing and stops re-reading them every night, meters its small-model calls against your spend caps, and keeps claim proposals from silently overwriting each other. Long consolidation runs get a 30-minute deadline instead of being killed at 10 minutes mid-work. A wedged server boot now releases its database lock instead of blocking every later command.
Search behaves the way you configured it: the recency-decay setting now actually applies to hybrid search, a local `list_pages` call returns as many rows as you asked for, and when a listing is cut short it says so instead of looking complete. Slack conversation exports parse cleanly, with an optional AI fallback for formats the parser does not know.
New provider recipes: DashScope reranking, OpenRouter reranking, and a claude-cli recipe for dispatching subagents through the gateway.
## To take advantage of v0.42.66.0
`gbrain upgrade` should do this automatically. One schema migration ships in this release (v125, take-proposal idempotency); it is idempotent and needs no manual action.
1. **Upgrade and verify:**
```bash
gbrain upgrade
gbrain doctor
gbrain stats
```
2. **If `gbrain doctor` warns about a partial migration**, run the orchestrator manually:
```bash
gbrain apply-migrations --yes
```
3. **If any step fails,** please file an issue at https://github.com/garrytan/gbrain/issues with the output of `gbrain doctor` and `~/.gbrain/upgrade-errors.jsonl` if it exists.

## [0.42.65.0] - 2026-07-23
**A large maintenance release: 93 verified fixes and small features merged since v0.42.64.0, most of them community contributions.**
If you use gbrain day to day, this release makes the boring parts trustworthy. Importing and syncing notes is safer: a failed pull no longer pretends everything is up to date, imported pages are read back after writing to confirm they landed, and a page with real content can no longer be silently overwritten by an empty one. Search answers get better inputs: the think command now picks excerpts that actually match your question, and results respect your federated source settings. Background enrichment (the "dream" cycle) wastes less money and retries properly when an AI provider is down. Spending caps now fail closed, so a billing hiccup can never turn into an uncapped spend. And `gbrain doctor` is quieter, with several false alarms removed and real problems (like an embedding backlog with no worker running) now flagged.
More AI providers work out of the box, including OpenRouter prompt caching, MiniMax and Zhipu GLM recipes, Ollama Matryoshka embedding dimensions, and llama-server batch limits.
## To take advantage of v0.42.65.0
`gbrain upgrade` should do this automatically. No new schema migrations ship in this release.
1. **Upgrade and verify:**
```bash
gbrain upgrade
gbrain doctor
gbrain stats
```
2. **If `gbrain doctor` reports new findings after upgrading,** that is the quieter, more accurate check set working as intended. Each finding names its fix.
3. **If any step fails,** please file an issue at https://github.com/garrytan/gbrain/issues with the output of `gbrain doctor` and `~/.gbrain/upgrade-errors.jsonl` if it exists.
### Itemized changes
#### Security
- MCP source scoping for remote callers got a hardening pass, so agent-facing connections stay confined to the sources they were granted. (#2881, contributed by @spinsirr)
- Paid MCP spend accounting is now atomic and fails closed, and resolver spend is recorded before a cap error is raised, so caps cannot be raced past or undercounted. (#3203, #3204, contributed by @caterpillarC15)
- The OAuth token endpoint rate limit on the HTTP server is now configurable via env for deployments behind shared IPs. (#3114, contributed by @time-attack)
- `WWW-Authenticate` responses now carry `resource_metadata` per the MCP spec and RFC 9728, so conforming clients can discover the auth server. (#1410, contributed by @rayers)
#### Search, retrieval, and think
- `think` selects query-relevant excerpts instead of generic ones. (#3197, contributed by @Y0lan)
- Unqualified local CLI `search`/`query` now honors `sources.config.federated` read visibility. (#2561, #3141, contributed by @time-attack)
- Email citation metadata is projected into search results. (#2873, contributed by @amtagrwl)

- Reranker calls with missing auth are classified as configuration errors before falling back. (#2059, #3139, contributed by @time-attack)
#### Import, sync, and ingestion
- A failed git pull with zero imports reports `partial (pull_failed)` instead of `up_to_date`. (#3068, #3253, contributed by @Masashi-Ono0611)
- Imports run a post-write read-back verification with a durable ingest-log record. (#2869, contributed by @Andredsouza1984)
- `put` refuses to overwrite a non-empty page with empty content. (#2708, contributed by @symmetric-matthew)
- `putPage` restores soft-deleted rows instead of colliding with them. (#2779, contributed by @RerankerGuo)
- Mixed-case slugs are normalized before chunk upsert, ending duplicate-chunk churn. (#430, #3143, contributed by @time-attack)
- Imports fall back to the body H1 for the title when frontmatter lacks `title:`. (#2446, #3072, contributed by @time-attack)
- YAML comments inside the frontmatter fence are no longer treated as markdown headings. (#3225, #3247, contributed by @Masashi-Ono0611)
- Write-through guards case-insensitive filesystem collisions before the atomic write. (#2831, #3119, contributed by @time-attack)

- CJK slugs are supported in the slug registry and dream-cycle summary slugs. (#782, #738, #3083, contributed by @time-attack)
- Three ingest/sync/serve singleton fixes: page-type round-trip, deleted-slug embed noise, and a stateless width guard. (#3140, contributed by @time-attack)
- Sync honors the `embedding_disabled` sentinel as an implicit `--no-embed`. (#2879, contributed by @gawievanblerk)
- Verified sync head sentinels are cleared correctly. (#2734, contributed by @symmetric-matthew)
- Resumed syncs report the pinned commit they actually landed on. (#3202, contributed by @caterpillarC15)
- The expected `discover_git_root` probe failure stays off stderr. (#3232, contributed by @Masashi-Ono0611)
- `extract --stale` runs the real resolver so basename resolution reaches stale pages, and clears pre-version-bump pages. (#2576, #2717, contributed by @paul-0320; #1791, contributed by @Nazim22)
- Oversized code chunks are capped so they stay embeddable, and code-chunk metadata survives re-embeds. (#1675, contributed by @lubosxyz; #769, #1232, contributed by @rayers)
#### Background cycle, dream, and facts

**PGLite crashes at startup with `RuntimeError: Aborted()` (often right after a macOS upgrade)?** Not a macOS incompatibility — the OS-upgrade reboot killed gbrain mid-write and tore the data dir's WAL. gbrain now repairs this automatically on the next command (data preserved, backup kept); if auto-repair is disabled or skipped, run `gbrain pglite-repair --dry-run` to diagnose and `gbrain pglite-repair --yes` to repair in place.

Fresh `gbrain init --pglite` auto-detects your embedding provider from API keys in your environment: set `OPENAI_API_KEY` (or `ZEROENTROPY_API_KEY` / `VOYAGE_API_KEY`) before running init, or pass `--embedding-model <provider>:<model>` explicitly. With multiple keys set, init fires an interactive picker. In non-TTY contexts (CI, Docker) with no keys, init exits 1 with a paste-ready setup hint; pass `--no-embedding` to defer setup until runtime.

- [ ] **`--live` agent-in-the-loop know-to-ask.** Replay fixtures with a real model deciding whether to issue retrieval calls; grade the agent, not just the deterministic reflex. Pre-registered in `docs/eval/BRAINBENCH.md` (the v1 metric grades the injection decision, which IS the shipped mechanism). Needs: seeded N-repeat methodology for model stochasticity + budget rails. Priority: P2.
- [ ] **Intrusion-budget gating calibration.**`avg_injected_tokens` is reported, non-gating (decision 18) — a wrong threshold is worse than none. After a few weeks of scoreboard data across PRs, pick calibrated per-seam thresholds and promote it to a gated metric. Priority: P2.
- [ ] **Flip contract adapters to production when real integrations land.**`adapters/claude-code.ts` exports the UserPromptSubmit hook wire types; the real hook swaps the in-process transport for an exec of the hook script and flips `seam: 'contract'` → `'production'` with continuous bench numbers. Same for codex fragments. This is the integration PR's checklist item — without it the seam disclosure goes stale. Priority: P1 (attached to the harness-integration PR, not standalone).
- [ ] **Cathedral 1 conformance-kit fixture import.** The memory-verbs conformance scenarios convert to BrainBench fixtures via the published `evals/brainbench/schema/fixture.schema.json` once `garrytan/cathedral-1` merges ("conformance tests double as BrainBench seed fixtures", decision log 2026-06-12). Free corpus growth from already-reviewed scenarios. Blocked by: cathedral-1 on master. Priority: P2.
- [ ] **Live-embeddings fidelity mode (`--embeddings`).** Hermetic CI grades the keyword/alias arms only (disclosed); an opt-in mode seeding real embeddings would grade write-back/continuity retrieval through the vector path. Same budget rails as `--llm`. Priority: P3.
- [ ] **Community fixture intake + competitor adapters.** The TD1 remainder after the generated corpus absorbed in-PR growth: an `external-authors/`-style intake path for contributed fixtures (validator + privacy guard already gate them) and adapters for non-gbrain memory systems against the published schemas, enabling true head-to-head rows in the gbrain-evals scorecard. Priority: P3.
- [ ] **JSON-Schema ↔ validator parity test.**`evals/brainbench/schema/*.schema.json` is the foreign-runner contract but only existence/parse is pinned — the schemas could drift from `fixtures.ts`'s validator silently. Needs a JSON-schema validator dep (ajv) or a hand-rolled subset checker; deferred to avoid a new dependency mid-wave. Priority: P3.
- [ ] **`eval compare` markdown rendering for `mode: 'n/a'` rows.** EvalRunRecord v3 records brainbench under 'n/a'; the markdown renderer iterates SEARCH_MODES only, so those rows surface in `--json` output but not the mode table (documented in the v3 docstring). Add an un-grouped section to `renderMarkdown`. Priority: P3.
- [ ] **Periodic re-baselining (the ratchet doesn't auto-tighten).** Improvements aren't banked into master's baseline until a PR updates it, so a regression back to a stale baseline level passes. Documented as an accepted residual in `docs/eval/BRAINBENCH.md`; the fix is an operator habit or a scheduled job that re-runs `--update-baseline` after metric-improving merges. Priority: P3.
- [ ] **Hermetic-ize the 7 env-sensitive LLM-availability tests.**`test/think-gateway-adapter.test.ts`, `test/conversation-parser/llm-base.test.ts`/`llm-fallback.test.ts`, `test/doctor-ze-checks.test.ts` assert behavior "when ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is unset" by reading the live process env — they fail on any dev shell that exports provider keys (verified failing on clean master in such a shell; green in keyless CI). Stub/save-restore the env per test so local runs match CI. Priority: P2.

`SearchResult[]` (`src/core/operations.ts` — both return sites), so a hint
needs an envelope change that ripples into `formatResult`, MCP
serialization, and array-shape tests — deliberately kept out of the atomic
#2416 commit. The pure classifier already exists
(`looksConceptShaped`/`conceptNudge` in `src/core/search/query-intent.ts`);

This crash (`RuntimeError: Aborted()` at engine startup, typically first seen
after a macOS upgrade) is **not** a macOS/WASM incompatibility. The upgrade
reboot kills gbrain mid-write and tears the data dir's write-ahead log; every
subsequent open then fails WAL replay. Recovery ladder:
1. **Auto-repair (default):** just run any gbrain command — gbrain detects the
abort, resets the WAL in place (data preserved; a backup of the pre-repair
state is kept next to the data dir), and continues. Then run `gbrain doctor`.
2. **Manual repair:**`gbrain pglite-repair --dry-run` to diagnose,
`gbrain pglite-repair --yes` to repair in place.
3. **Rebuild:**`gbrain reinit-pglite` (wipes and re-creates the brain from
your brain repo; embedding settings default from your config).

### Shell dispatch and Windows
All four of `test`, `verify`, `ci:local` and `test:e2e` hand off to shell scripts
under `scripts/`, so every `check:*` entry in `package.json` invokes its script as
`bash scripts/<name>.sh` instead of relying on the shebang — bun on Windows cannot
exec a `.sh` directly. Add a new shell-script check with that same prefix. The
`scripts/*.ts` entries run under bun and take no prefix.
The scripts must also be on disk with Unix line endings. A strict bash (WSL, Linux
CI, macOS) rejects CRLF and dies on the script's first meaningful line; the Cygwin
bash that ships with Git for Windows tolerates it, so a green local run is not by
itself evidence that a script is CRLF-clean.
The root `.gitattributes` pins `*.sh text eol=lf`, which overrides the
`core.autocrlf=true` default that Git for Windows installs. It pins `*.md` the
same way, because the frontmatter readers anchor on a `---` fence followed by a
Unix line ending and a CRLF checkout makes a document parse as having no
frontmatter, silently. Working copies cloned
before those pins need a one-time `git rm --cached -r . -q && git reset --hard` to
pick them up; see the Windows section of `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
Wallclock figures in the table above are from a Mac dev box. Windows is
substantially slower because each check pays full process-creation cost, and three
plus `typecheck` can exceed the 120s per-check cap in `run-verify-parallel.sh`
there even though they pass on Linux and macOS.
### CI vs local: intentionally divergent file sets
- **CI matrix** (`.github/workflows/test.yml`) runs `scripts/test-shard.sh` across 10 matrix shards partitioned by weight-aware LPT bin-packing (`scripts/sharding.ts`) and INCLUDES `*.slow.test.ts` (the two outlier slow files run as dedicated jobs alongside the matrix). CI EXCLUDES `*.serial.test.ts` from the shards and runs them in a dedicated job via `bun run test:serial`, one bun process per file — keeping serial files out of the shard processes is what preserves the `mock.module` quarantine (a top-level mock in one file leaks into every other file sharing its process). `bun run verify` gets its own job too. CI is the ground truth for "did everything pass."
- **CI matrix** (`.github/workflows/test.yml`) runs `scripts/test-shard.sh` across 10 matrix shards partitioned by weight-aware LPT bin-packing (`scripts/sharding.ts`) and INCLUDES `*.slow.test.ts` (the two outlier slow files run as dedicated jobs alongside the matrix). CI EXCLUDES `*.serial.test.ts` from the shards and runs them in a dedicated job via `bun run test:serial`, one bun process per file — keeping serial files out of the shard processes is what preserves the `mock.module` quarantine (a top-level mock in one file leaks into every other file sharing its process). `bun run verify` gets its own job too, as does the BrainBench memory-conformance gate (`brainbench` job → `scripts/ci-brainbench-gate.sh`, hermetic in-memory PGLite, ~15s), which compares HEAD's fresh run against master's committed baseline (`evals/brainbench/baselines/main.json`) — the `test-status` aggregate checks its result explicitly. CI is the ground truth for "did everything pass."
- **Local fast loop** (`scripts/run-unit-shard.sh` via the parallel wrapper) uses round-robin-by-index sharding and EXCLUDES `*.slow.test.ts` AND `*.serial.test.ts`. Local trades coverage for inner-loop speed; CI catches what local skips.
This divergence is intentional. Don't try to make them equal — the two scripts deliberately solve different problems. The regression test at `test/scripts/run-unit-shard.test.ts` pins what the local fast loop should and shouldn't include.

### Failure-first logging
@@ -35,17 +61,26 @@ When `bun run test` finds any failure, the wrapper:
3. Writes a one-line-per-shard summary to `.context/test-summary.txt` (`shard N/M: pass=X fail=Y skip=Z rc=W`).
4. Exits non-zero. Empty failure log + non-zero exit = infrastructure problem (wedged shard, killed child); the banner says so.
If a shard wedges (per-shard `GBRAIN_TEST_SHARD_TIMEOUT` cap, default 600s), the wrapper writes `--- shard N: WEDGED after ${SHARD_TIMEOUT}s ---` to the failure log, includes the last 50 lines of the shard log, and proceeds with other shards' results.
If a shard wedges (per-shard `GBRAIN_TEST_SHARD_TIMEOUT` cap, default 3000s; `GBRAIN_TEST_SHARD_KILL_AFTER` grace after TERM before KILL, default 30s), the wrapper writes `--- shard N: WEDGED after ${SHARD_TIMEOUT}s ---` to the failure log, includes the last 50 lines of the shard log, and proceeds with other shards' results.
### File taxonomy
- `*.test.ts` → fast loop (parallel 8-shard fan-out).
- `*.test.ts` → fast loop (parallel up-to-4-shard fan-out, memory-adaptive).
- `*.slow.test.ts` → run via `bun run test:slow` only (intentional cold-path tests; would dominate the fast loop's wallclock).
- `*.serial.test.ts` → run via `bun run test:serial` after the parallel pass completes; one bun process per file (`--max-concurrency=1` within a shared process is not enough — the module registry still leaks `mock.module`). Quarantine for tests that share file-wide state and race when run alongside other files in the same `bun test` process. Several dozen files, discovered by the `*.serial.test.ts` glob — no list to maintain. Typical residents: `mock.module(...)` users (top-level mocks leak across files in a shard process, e.g. `test/embed.serial.test.ts`), env-coupled files (e.g. `test/brain-registry.serial.test.ts`), and process-lifecycle suites that assert on `process.exitCode` (e.g. `test/pglite-engine-disconnect.serial.test.ts`). **Do not put the parallelism back on a serial file unless you've fixed the contention root cause** (it just re-introduces the flake).
- `test/e2e/*.test.ts` → real-Postgres E2E. Skipped when `DATABASE_URL` is unset.
- `tests/heavy/*.sh` → ops-shape shell scripts. Cost minutes per run; NOT in default `bun test`. Run via `bun run test:heavy` or scheduled nightly via `.github/workflows/heavy-tests.yml`. Examples: pg_upgrade matrix (boot legacy brain → walk to head), RSS budget gate (measure peak worker RSS vs committed baseline), read-latency-under-sync (p50/p95/p99 under concurrent writer load), sync lock regression (N concurrent syncs assert 1 winner + N-1 lock-busy + zero leaked `gbrain_cycle_locks` rows). See `tests/heavy/README.md` for when to add a script here vs `*.slow.test.ts`. Files prefixed with `_` (e.g. `tests/heavy/_build_legacy_fixtures.sh`) are helpers/libs invoked by sibling tests — the runner skips them.
- `test/fuzz/*.test.ts` → property-based fuzz harness. Pure-validator targets in `pure-validators.test.ts` are guarded by `scripts/check-fuzz-purity.sh` (in `bun run verify`), which `bun build --target=bun` bundles each target and greps the resulting bundle for banned transitive imports (`node:fs`, `node:child_process`, engine modules). Anything that fails the guard moves to `mixed-validators.test.ts` (still property-tested, but no purity guarantee) or `filesystem-validators.test.ts` (fs-backed, uses temp dirs). Fuzz tests run in the default `bun test` loop because they're fast (~3s for ~12 properties × 1000 runs each).
### Skills-manifest freshness guard
`skills/skills.lock.json` is a committed sha256 inventory of every bundled file under
`skills/` (tamper evidence, not signatures — see `src/core/skills-integrity.ts`).
Any change under `skills/` must regenerate it: `bun run scripts/generate-skills-manifest.ts`.
`scripts/check-skills-manifest-fresh.sh` (`bun run check:skills-manifest`, wired into
`bun run verify`) regenerates to a tmp file and diffs, failing CI on drift; at runtime
`gbrain doctor` reports the same drift as a warn-only `skills_manifest_integrity` check.

## Metrics (formulas)
All micro-averaged per (harness × suite) cell; registered in
`src/core/eval/metric-glossary.ts` (plain-English in
[`METRIC_GLOSSARY.md`](METRIC_GLOSSARY.md)); JSON output carries one
- `false_fire_rate` = |stay-silent turns with any injection| / |stay-silent turns|. Lower better. Anti-gaming companion: "always inject" cannot win both.
- `push_precision` = Σ|injected ∩ (gold ∪ acceptable)| / Σ|injected| over turns with injection. `acceptable_slugs` count for precision, not recall.
- `push_recall` = Σ|injected ∩ gold| / Σ|gold| over should-retrieve turns. Pointer budgets cap this by design.
- `write_back_fidelity` = |gold facts that survive the PRODUCTION conversation→memory pipeline and are keyword-findable with correct entity attribution| / |gold facts|. The deterministic mode injects a gold extractor at the pipeline's extractor seam so segmentation, batching, dedup, and provenance stamping execute shipped code with zero LLM calls.
- `continuity_rate` = |decision probes recalled by the reader| / |probes|, per READER harness. The writer fixture's decisions persist through the production write-back pipeline — which is harness-INDEPENDENT in v1 — so each pair preps once and every harness replays the read-only reader against the same persisted state (an ordered writer×reader sweep would rebuild byte-identical brains for identical scores). A probe succeeds via pointer injection or stored-fact keyword lookup. The per-writer axis activates when harness-specific write paths land.
- `source_isolation_violations` = count of injected slugs from a non-active source. **Gates at zero**, every run, regardless of baseline — cross-source leakage is the data-leak invariant. Granularity disclosure: detection is slug-keyed, so it catches injection of slugs seeded ONLY in a foreign source; a same-slug cross-source CONTENT leak would require the engine's source-scoped SQL itself to fail, which the engine-layer source-isolation fuzz (gbrain-evals Cat 22) covers directly.
- `avg_injected_tokens` = mean estimated tokens (chars/4) of injected context per replayed turn. Intrusion-budget diagnostic; reported, NOT gated (gating awaits calibration data — filed TODO).
- `extraction_recall` / `extraction_precision` — `--llm` runs only: the real extractor's output vs gold keyword probes.
### What know-to-ask deliberately means in v1
It grades the **deterministic injection decision** — the Reflex pipeline that
ships at the seam. The agent never "knows to ask"; the reflex pushes. An
agent-LLM-in-the-loop replay (did the *model* issue a retrieval call when the
reflex stayed silent?) is **pre-registered as the `--live` extension**:
fixture-compatible, seeded, N-repeat methodology — and unimplemented. No LLM
grading is faked in v1.
### Difficulty is stratified on purpose
Several know-to-ask variants exercise documented v1 reflex limits (lowercase
Gold records what SHOULD happen; the committed baseline records what the
current system does (`know_to_ask_failure_rate` ≈ 0.15 at v1). The gap is the
measured roadmap, not a bug in the bench.
## Pre-registered expectations (v1, recorded before the first published run)
1. The production seam (openclaw) leads `push_recall` strictly: 3-pointer > 2-pointer > 1-fragment budgets. *(Observed at landing: 0.81 / 0.65 / 0.45.)*
2. The no-suppression contract (claude-code) is the only seam with `false_fire_rate` > 0. *(Observed: 0.02–0.03.)*
3. `write_back_fidelity` = 1.0 and `provenance_accuracy` = 1.0 in deterministic mode — the production pipeline must not lose or mis-attribute gold facts it was handed. Anything below 1.0 is a pipeline bug, not benchmark noise.
4. `source_isolation_violations` = 0 everywhere.
5. `push_precision` = 1.0 at v1 (exact-match resolution arms cannot inject an irrelevant page on this corpus); expected to dip below 1.0 when fuzzy/semantic resolution lands — that dip is the precision/recall trade made visible.
## Determinism & statistical posture
The harness is deterministic end-to-end: regex extraction + SQL resolution
(zero LLM, zero embeddings — facts seed with NULL embeddings; keyword/alias
arms carry retrieval), seeded PRNG corpus, one in-memory PGLite reset between
fixtures. Two runs produce identical metrics, so N-repeat error bars are
meaningless here (stddev = 0 by construction, the gbrain-evals "deterministic
adapters" convention) and the gate can be exact: **any flipped gold item is a
real behavior change.** Bootstrap/CI discipline applies to the future `--live`
and `--llm` published runs, which are model-stochastic.

## BrainBench — Cross-Harness Memory Conformance
### Know-to-ask failure rate (BrainBench)
**Key:** `know_to_ask_failure_rate`
**Plain English:** Of the conversation turns where memory SHOULD have surfaced something unprompted, the fraction where nothing relevant was injected. This is the thesis failure mode every agent harness shares: the agent can't ask for what it doesn't know it forgot — the memory layer has to volunteer it.
**Range:** 0..1, LOWER is better. 0.15 means memory stayed silent on 15% of the turns where it had the answer.
### False-fire rate (BrainBench)
**Key:** `false_fire_rate`
**Plain English:** Of the turns where memory should have stayed SILENT, the fraction where it injected anyway. The anti-gaming companion to the know-to-ask rate — "always inject" would ace one and bomb the other. Silence beats noise.
**Range:** 0..1, LOWER is better.
### Push precision (BrainBench)
**Key:** `push_precision`
**Plain English:** Of everything the memory layer volunteered into context, what fraction was actually relevant to the turn? Micro-averaged over injected pointers, so a 3-pointer turn weighs three times a 1-pointer turn — the way a token budget experiences it.
**Range:** 0..1, higher is better.
### Push recall (BrainBench)
**Key:** `push_recall`
**Plain English:** Of everything that SHOULD have been volunteered (the gold pointers), what fraction actually was? Pointer budgets cap this by design: a seam that may inject only 1 fragment cannot reach full recall on a 3-entity turn — that constraint is what the per-harness rows measure.
**Range:** 0..1, higher is better.
### Write-back fidelity (BrainBench)
**Key:** `write_back_fidelity`
**Plain English:** Of the facts stated in a conversation, what fraction survived the PRODUCTION conversation→memory pipeline (segmentation, insertion, dedup) and are findable afterward with the right entity attached? Measures the write path users actually run, not a test-only insert.
**Range:** 0..1, higher is better.
### Provenance accuracy (BrainBench)
**Key:** `provenance_accuracy`
**Plain English:** Of the facts that survived write-back, what fraction carry correct provenance — the right source tag, session id, and origin page? A fact you can't trace is a fact you can't trust, audit, or expire.
**Range:** 0..1, higher is better.
### Cross-session continuity rate (BrainBench)
**Key:** `continuity_rate`
**Plain English:** A decision is recorded in one session and persisted through the production write path; a different harness asks about it later on the same brain. What fraction of those decision probes were recalled — by pointer injection or stored-fact lookup? This is the continuity-that-survives-the-harness-hop moat, measured.
**Range:** 0..1, higher is better. Scored per reader harness (the v1 write path is harness-independent, disclosed in docs/eval/BRAINBENCH.md).
### Source-isolation violations (BrainBench)
**Key:** `source_isolation_violations`
**Plain English:** Count of injected pointers that belong to a source other than the active one. Cross-source leakage is gbrain's must-never-violate invariant (a missed source filter is a data leak), so this gates at ZERO — any baseline, any run.
**Range:** 0..n, count. MUST be 0; any value above 0 fails the gate.
### Average injected tokens per turn (BrainBench)
**Key:** `avg_injected_tokens`
**Plain English:** Estimated tokens of volunteered context per replayed turn (chars/4 heuristic). The intrusion-budget diagnostic: two seams with equal precision can differ 3x in how much context they spend to get it. Reported, not gated, until calibration data exists.
**Range:** 0..n tokens, judgment call — lower is cheaper, but starving the agent has its own cost. Non-gating.
### Extraction recall (BrainBench --llm)
**Key:** `extraction_recall`
**Plain English:** With the real LLM extractor running (instead of the deterministic gold extractor), what fraction of the gold facts did it actually extract and persist? Only scored in --llm runs — the hermetic CI gate never calls a model.
**Range:** 0..1, higher is better. Absent in deterministic runs.
### Extraction precision (BrainBench --llm)
**Key:** `extraction_precision`
**Plain English:** Of everything the real LLM extractor persisted, what fraction matches a gold fact? Low precision means the extractor invents or over-extracts — junk memory that pollutes future recall.
**Range:** 0..1, higher is better. Absent in deterministic runs.

## Tricky Spots
1. **Search returns chunks, not full pages.** After `gbrain search` or `gbrain query`, you get excerpts. Always run `gbrain get <slug>` to load the full page when the chunk confirms relevance. Don't answer questions from chunks alone when the full context matters.
2. **Keyword search works without embeddings.** On day one before any embedding run, `gbrain search` still works. Don't tell the user "search isn't available yet" -- keyword search is always available.
3. **Don't use hybrid search for known names.**`gbrain query "Pedro Franceschi"` wastes embedding compute. Use `gbrain search "Pedro Franceschi"` or better yet `gbrain get pedro-franceschi` if you know the slug.
4. **Token budget awareness.** A full page via `gbrain get` can be large. Read the search chunks first to confirm relevance before pulling the full page. "Did anyone mention the Series A?" -- search results (chunks) are probably enough. "Tell me everything about Pedro" -- get the full page.
5. **Hybrid search needs embeddings to have been run.** If `gbrain query` returns nothing but `gbrain search` finds results, the embeddings haven't been generated yet. Run the embedding pipeline first.
2. **Search works without embeddings.** On day one before any embedding run, `gbrain search` still works (the keyword arm carries it; the vector arm joins once embeddings exist). Don't tell the user "search isn't available yet" -- search is always available.

6. **A populated `gbrain search` result set is not proof you found everything.** Search runs without query expansion, so synonym- and outcome-phrased matches can be missed even when it returns plenty of hits. For "find every / all / the landscape of" questions, use `gbrain query`; for literal exhaustive enumeration ("list every page of type X"), use `list_pages` pagination. A nonzero count is not a completeness signal.
## How to Verify
1. Run `gbrain search "Pedro"` -- confirm it returns chunks with matching text and slug references.
1. Run `gbrain search "Alice"` -- confirm it returns chunks with matching text and slug references.
2. Run `gbrain query "who works at fintech companies"` -- confirm it returns semantically relevant results (not just keyword matches on "fintech").
3. Run `gbrain get pedro-franceschi` -- confirm it returns the full page with compiled truth and timeline.
3. Run `gbrain get alice-example` -- confirm it returns the full page with compiled truth and timeline.
4. Compare: search for the same entity using all three modes. Keyword should be fastest, hybrid should surface conceptual matches, direct should return the complete page.
5. After a search returns a chunk, run `gbrain get` on the slug from that chunk. Confirm the full page contains more context than the chunk alone.

# gbrain — the company brain
This sandbox has the `gbrain` CLI connected (thin-client) to the org's central
brain. It is the deep, indexed, cross-source memory: org docs, shared channel
knowledge, and every agent's durable notes. Your scope's own notebook stays the
fast per-turn memory; the brain is where knowledge outlives a scope and becomes
searchable by everyone entitled to it.
## First-run setup (once per sandbox — skip if `gbrain remote doctor` passes)
Your scope's brain credentials arrive via the deployment's secret handoff
(keychain entry or one-time secret drop named `gbrain`). Then:
```bash
gbrain init --mcp-only \
--issuer-url "https://brain.<org>.com" \
--mcp-url "https://brain.<org>.com/mcp" \
--oauth-client-id "<client id from the handoff>" \
--oauth-client-secret "<client secret from the handoff>"
gbrain whoami # must succeed before using any other command
```
Pass the secret with `--oauth-client-secret`, not via `GBRAIN_REMOTE_CLIENT_SECRET`:
an env-sourced secret is deliberately NOT written to `~/.gbrain/config.json`, so
every later command would fail with "No client_secret available" once the
variable is out of scope. The flag persists it to the config file on this
sandbox's durable disk, which is what the tool's credential capture expects.
Do not run `gbrain remote doctor` — it needs `admin` scope, which your client
does not have (by design). `gbrain whoami` is the read-scope health check.
## Reading (do this liberally)
```bash
gbrain search "who decided X and why" # hybrid semantic + keyword search
gbrain get <slug> # read one page
gbrain query "question" --json # search tuned for agent consumption
```
You can read: the shared agent-memory source, org read-only sources (wiki,
handbook), and everything under them. Reads are isolation-enforced server-side;
you only ever see sources your client is entitled to.
## Writing (durable knowledge only, under YOUR prefixes)
Your client is write-fenced to slug prefixes — your own namespace plus the
channels you belong to. Writes outside them are rejected server-side.
```bash
# personal durable memory (your namespace):
gbrain put emp-<your-slug>/people/jane-example --content "..."
# shared channel knowledge (channels you are in):
gbrain put chan-eng/decisions/2026-08-database-choice --content "..."
```
Conventions:
- Write conclusions and durable facts, not chat transcripts. One page per
entity/decision/topic; update the page rather than appending near-duplicates.
- Markdown with YAML frontmatter; the brain chunks, embeds, and links it.
- Cross-reference liberally: `gbrain link <from> <to>` (from must be in your
namespace; linking TO any readable page is fine).
- When you learn something channel-relevant in personal work, mirror the
conclusion into the channel prefix with a `(said in <where>)` provenance
note.
## When to reach for the brain
- Any question about the org, a person, a project, a decision, or history →
`gbrain search` FIRST, then answer.
- You produced knowledge with value beyond this conversation → `gbrain put`.

`gbrain extract-conversation-facts` stores page-level outcomes in `facts` so
bulk runs, autopilot, and `gbrain doctor` can distinguish finished work from
retryable work without adding another state table.
This is completion authority, not ordinary extracted knowledge. The authority
is deliberately narrow: a marker is valid only for the exact page or transcript
snapshot that was parsed, and only after every required operation succeeded.
## Outcome protocol
The current protocol is v2. Its source names are versioned so rows written by
older best-effort implementations cannot suppress a corrective replay.
| Outcome | `facts.source` | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Complete | `cli:extract-conversation-facts:terminal:v2` | Every eligible segment was extracted and inserted successfully, the input remained unchanged, and the terminal write succeeded. |
| Scanned, not extractable | `cli:extract-conversation-facts:non-extractable:v2` | A recognized input was scanned successfully but contained no eligible multi-message segment. |
| Unfinished | no matching v2 outcome | Work is pending, failed, was not recognized, changed during extraction, or has only a legacy marker. |
The non-extractable outcome is intentionally separate from completion. It does
not claim that knowledge facts were extracted. CLI counters, cycle details, and
doctor output preserve that distinction.
## Snapshot identity
Every v2 marker binds `source_session` to the parser input snapshot:
```text
<outcome-source>:<page-slug>:<version-token>
```
There are two token forms.
### Database-backed page body
For pages parsed from `compiled_truth` and `timeline`, the token is:
```text
page-<pages.content_hash>-<effective-date>
```
`content_hash` covers title, type, compiled truth, timeline, and frontmatter.
The effective-date suffix covers the remaining date input used by parsing. This
identity does not depend on JavaScript's millisecond timestamp precision, so two
writes within one PostgreSQL millisecond still produce different tokens when
parser input changes. A legacy page with a null content hash uses a computed
SHA-256 fallback and is verified in-process by both extraction and doctor.
### Raw transcript sidecar
When frontmatter contains `raw_transcript`, the source text lives outside the
page row and may change without changing `pages.updated_at`. Its token is:
```text
sidecar-<SHA-256>
```
The digest covers the exact body given to the parser plus parser-relevant page
metadata: title, type, frontmatter, and effective date. Selection recomputes
the digest before skipping work. A sidecar-only edit therefore reopens the page.
`gbrain doctor` cannot read sidecars in its SQL aggregate, so it enumerates those
pages in bounded batches and calls the same canonical verifier used by
extraction. Doctor and extraction therefore agree after sidecar-only edits.
## Selection and locking
Bulk extraction follows this sequence:
1. Enumerate candidate pages in bounded batches.
2. Filter candidates with matching v2 outcomes.
3. Apply `--limit` to the remaining pages that actually need work.
4. Acquire the source-and-slug advisory lock.
5. Re-fetch the page under that lock.
6. Recompute and recheck the snapshot-bound outcome.
7. Prepare one immutable parser snapshot and process it.
8. Re-fetch and recompute the snapshot before writing an outcome.
The pre-lock check avoids parser, filesystem, and model work for ordinary
completed pages. The under-lock refetch prevents a stale enumeration object
from becoming the certified input. The final comparison prevents an edit that
happens during model or insertion work from receiving a marker for old content.
An edit can occur after the final comparison and before marker insertion. That
is still safe because the marker contains the old version token. Future
selection compares the token, not marker creation time, and reopens the page.
Single-page `--slug` runs use the same under-lock path.
## Strict extraction success
The general `extractFactsFromTurn` API remains best-effort for interactive
callers. It historically returns an empty array for both a legitimate zero-fact
| `protocol_version` | int | always present (every verb, every call) |
| `facts[]` | array | legacy fact fields unchanged, PLUS per fact: `fact_id` (opaque STRING — the value `forget` accepts; the legacy numeric `id` stays for pre-v1 consumers) and `provenance` (the stored source attribution) |

# Engine Dynamic-Import Reconciliation Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Reconstruct the missing engine-path static-import hardening, preserve the four load-bearing lazy gateway fallbacks, and prevent unreviewed dynamic imports from returning.
**Architecture:** Make the 13 safe engine/migration import statements static and leave only four line-marked `ai/gateway.ts` imports inside their existing soft-failure `try/catch` boundaries. Enforce that current state with a repository-anchored Bash wrapper delegating to a fail-closed TypeScript AST scanner, a hermetic Bun regression test, package/verify wiring, and current-state architecture documentation.
**Tech Stack:** TypeScript compiler API, Bun test runner, Bash, Git, generated llms documentation bundles.
## Global Constraints
- Reconstruct directly on branch `claude/kind-meitner-330c90`, based on investigated `origin/master` commit `6136e139972a5449630b4f47f5ed7b4cbe5b811b` plus design commit `d7f52d8c`.
- Do not merge or cherry-pick `48ada48f`, `248bfe55`, `ef4cf7a8`, or either historical branch wholesale.
- Do not modify `VERSION`, `CHANGELOG.md`, `TODOS.md`, or release metadata; this is a no-version-bump reconciliation.
- Keep all four `await import('./ai/gateway.ts')` calls lazy: PGLite and Postgres `initSchema`, plus both `_upsertChunksOnce` methods.
- Every allowed lazy gateway line must carry `engine-dynamic-import-ok`; there is no file-level exemption.
- Preserve the stronger gateway rationale: the static closure is large, and eager module evaluation would occur outside the local `try/catch`, potentially converting a recoverable configuration/import failure into a module-load-time hard failure.
- Describe the hoists as engine-path hardening. Do not claim every dynamic import deterministically causes a Windows crash; system-wide commit exhaustion confounded prior measurements.
- Keep shared PGLite/Postgres behavior in parity.
- Invoke repository shell scripts through `bash` in `package.json`.
- Capture complete test/check output to workspace-local `.context/*.txt` files before inspecting it; never pipe a test command directly through `head` or `tail`.
- Use `git log -G`, not `git log -S`, for any additional dynamic-to-static import history work.
- Keep every implementation and verification commit local. Do not push, create a PR, comment upstream, or otherwise publish without explicit user approval after local completion.
- Before editing any affected function, run GBrain `code_blast` and `code_callers` for that symbol and inspect any disambiguation candidates.
---
## File Map
- Create `scripts/check-engine-dynamic-import.sh` — repository-anchored Bash wrapper for default and explicit input routing.
- Create `scripts/check-engine-dynamic-import.ts` — TypeScript AST policy scanner for runtime `import()` expressions, parse/read failures, and exact-line comment-trivia opt-outs.
- Consumes: shell positional arguments `FILE...`; without arguments, the guard scans the three repository files.
- Produces: `scripts/check-engine-dynamic-import.sh [FILE...]`, exit `0` when every runtime dynamic import is allowed and exit `1` after reporting every `file:line:text` violation plus every read/parse error on stderr.
- Produces: one line-level opt-out token, `engine-dynamic-import-ok`, accepted only in real comment trivia on the same physical line as the deliberately lazy import.
- Fails closed on missing/unreadable inputs, TypeScript parse diagnostics, and scanner/process failures; comments, strings, templates, regex literals, and type-position `import(...)` syntax are not runtime imports.
- [ ] **Step 1: Record call-graph blast radius before touching functions**
First call `sources_list` and select the source whose registered path is this gbrain checkout. Then run `code_blast` and `code_callers` for these qualified symbols with that exact `source_id`, following `did_you_mean`/`candidates` when a method name is ambiguous:
Use `depth: 5`, `max_nodes: 200`, and `limit: 100`. Expected: no caller requires a signature or behavior change; the patch only changes module binding time and retains all local fallback/error handling.
Create `test/scripts/check-engine-dynamic-import.test.ts` as a hermetic subprocess suite. The completed 22-test surface covers:
- unmarked runtime `import()` rejection, including bare and trivia-separated forms;
- same-line markers in real line or multiline block-comment trivia;
- rejection of markers on prior lines or inside strings, templates, and module paths;
- comments and comment-like delimiters inside strings, templates, and regex literals;
- live code after same-line or multiline block comments close;
- CRLF input and complete multi-file violation aggregation;
- missing/readable mixed inputs and TypeScript parse diagnostics;
- default repository anchoring when invoked from a foreign Git repository;
- the reconciled three-file source scan plus package/parallel-verifier wiring.
Use the TypeScript parser rather than a partial lexical reimplementation. On Windows, set the test default to 30 seconds because each case launches Git Bash and Bun, whose startup can exceed Bun's 5-second per-test default.
- [ ] **Step 3: Run the test to prove the pre-implementation red state**
```bash
bun test test/scripts/check-engine-dynamic-import.test.ts > .context/engine-dynamic-import-red.txt 2>&1; rc=$?; printf 'EXIT=%s\n' "$rc"; exit 0
```
Expected: non-zero Bun result captured inside the log. At minimum, the `exists` assertion fails because `scripts/check-engine-dynamic-import.sh` does not exist. Read `.context/engine-dynamic-import-red.txt`; do not infer the result from a truncated pipeline.
- [ ] **Step 4: Add the CRLF-safe, fail-closed guard**
Create `scripts/check-engine-dynamic-import.sh` as a thin LF-terminated wrapper. Resolve its own directory first; when no explicit files are passed, anchor the repository with `git -C "$SCRIPT_DIR/.."` and scan the two engines plus `migrate.ts`. Delegate with `exec bun "$SCRIPT_DIR/check-engine-dynamic-import.ts" "${FILES[@]}"` so scanner failures propagate.
Create `scripts/check-engine-dynamic-import.ts` using the TypeScript compiler API:
- read every requested file and aggregate read failures;
- parse as TypeScript and aggregate parse diagnostics;
- walk the AST for `CallExpression`s whose expression is `ImportKeyword`;
- locate all marker occurrences in the full source and use `ts.getTokenAtPosition` to admit only occurrences outside AST tokens (real comment trivia), recording their physical source lines;
- require each runtime import's line to have an admitted marker or report its original `file:line:text`;
- print every read/parse error and every violation before exiting nonzero.
This preserves CRLF line accounting, ignores comment/literal/type-only false positives, catches every legal runtime `import()` shape the TypeScript parser recognizes, rejects marker spoofing, and fails closed.
- [ ] **Step 5: Run the guard test to prove the source-tree midpoint is still red**
```bash
bun test test/scripts/check-engine-dynamic-import.test.ts > .context/engine-dynamic-import-midpoint.txt 2>&1; rc=$?; printf 'EXIT=%s\n' "$rc"; exit 0
```
Expected: the synthetic violation, marker, comments, and CRLF cases pass. The default repository scan fails and reports all 17 current imports: 13 unmarked safe candidates plus the four not-yet-marked gateway calls.
- [ ] **Step 6: Hoist the three safe PGLite import statements**
Replace the existing `retry.ts` import and add the ontology/recency imports near the top of `src/core/pglite-engine.ts`:
```ts
// Engine-path imports stay static unless a call site carries an explicit
// engine-dynamic-import-ok justification. The gateway is the only current
// exception because its local try/catch preserves a soft fallback.
import {
withRetry,
BULK_RETRY_OPTS,
resolveBulkRetryOpts,
computeNextDelay,
isRetryableConnError,
type BatchAuditSite,
} from './retry.ts';
import {
valueHash,
normalizeDimension,
isNovelDimension,
} from './chronicle/ontology.ts';
import {
resolveRecencyDecayMap,
DEFAULT_FALLBACK,
} from './search/recency-decay.ts';
```
Delete only these three in-method destructuring imports, leaving their uses unchanged:
Expected: exactly four lines, all importing `./ai/gateway.ts` and all carrying `engine-dynamic-import-ok`; no match in `src/core/migrate.ts`.
- [ ] **Step 13: Run focused behavior tests**
```bash
bun test test/chronicle-ontology.test.ts test/chronicle-ontology-ops.test.ts test/recency-decay.test.ts test/core/retry.test.ts test/retry-matcher.test.ts test/audit/pool-recovery-audit.test.ts test/migrate-retry.test.ts test/timeline-dedup-repair.test.ts > .context/engine-dynamic-import-focused.txt 2>&1; rc=$?; printf 'EXIT=%s\n' "$rc"; exit "$rc"
```
Expected: exit `0`. If Windows resource pressure aborts the process, record the exact exit code and rerun the failing file alone; do not relabel an infrastructure abort as a source pass.
- [ ] **Step 14: Commit the source invariant locally**
Expected: one local commit with the guard wiring and its regression assertions.
---
### Task 3: Document the current-state invariant
**Files:**
- Modify: `CLAUDE.md`
- Modify: `docs/architecture/KEY_FILES.md`
- Regenerate: `llms.txt`
- Regenerate: `llms-full.txt`
**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: the four-marked-import source state and the `check:engine-dynamic-import` package surface.
- Produces: current-state contributor guidance and fresh generated documentation bundles.
- [ ] **Step 1: Add the cross-cutting invariant to `CLAUDE.md`**
Add this bullet under “Cross-cutting invariants” near the other language/filesystem guards:
```md
- **Engine-live paths use static imports by default.** In
`src/core/pglite-engine.ts`, `src/core/postgres-engine.ts`, and
`src/core/migrate.ts`, helper modules are top-level imports. The only current
exceptions are the four `ai/gateway.ts` lookups in both engines'
`initSchema()` and `_upsertChunksOnce()` methods; each remains lazy inside a
local `try/catch` because the gateway has a large provider/config closure and,
more importantly, eager evaluation would occur before the catch and could
turn a recoverable default/config-row fallback into a module-load failure.
Every exception carries `engine-dynamic-import-ok` on the import line.
`scripts/check-engine-dynamic-import.sh` enforces the rule. For history, use
`git log -G'await[[:space:]]+import\\('`, not `git log -S`: a dynamic-to-static
rewrite can preserve the searched token while changing its context.
```
Do not add release tags, Windows-crash certainty, or historical branch names.
- [ ] **Step 2: Update the PGLite current-state entry in `KEY_FILES.md`**
Append this current-state sentence to the existing `src/core/pglite-engine.ts` entry, preserving the entry as one bullet:
```md
Engine-path helper dependencies (`retry`, ontology, recency decay) bind statically; the only lazy imports are `ai/gateway.ts` in `initSchema` and `_upsertChunksOnce`, line-marked because their local catches preserve compiled-default and stored-config fallbacks that eager module evaluation would bypass.
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Update the Postgres current-state entry in `KEY_FILES.md`**
Append this sentence to the existing `src/core/postgres-engine.ts` entry:
```md
Retry classifiers, ontology/recency helpers, and disconnect/pool-recovery audit writers bind statically; only the two `ai/gateway.ts` fallback lookups stay lazy and line-marked, in parity with PGLite.
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Update the migration current-state entry in `KEY_FILES.md`**
Append this sentence to the canonical `src/core/migrate.ts` entry (the broad runner entry, not the older v95-specific index note):
```md
`retry-matcher.ts` and `timeline-dedup-repair.ts` are static dependencies because `runMigrations()` executes from live engine initialization; the engine dynamic-import guard scans this file with both engine implementations.
```
Keep all three entries current-state only: no `v0.42.x`, branch, commit, “previously,” or “was/now” narration.
- [ ] **Step 5: Regenerate the llms bundles**
```bash
bun run build:llms > .context/engine-dynamic-import-build-llms.txt 2>&1; rc=$?; printf 'EXIT=%s\n' "$rc"; exit "$rc"
```
Expected: exit `0`; `llms.txt` and/or `llms-full.txt` update according to their configured linked/inlined status. Byte-identical output for a linked source is acceptable; the freshness test is authoritative.
- [ ] **Step 6: Run documentation freshness checks**
```bash
bun test test/build-llms.test.ts > .context/engine-dynamic-import-llms-test.txt 2>&1; rc=$?; printf 'EXIT=%s\n' "$rc"; exit "$rc"
```
Expected: exit `0`.
```bash
bun run check:doc-history > .context/engine-dynamic-import-doc-history.txt 2>&1; rc=$?; printf 'EXIT=%s\n' "$rc"; exit "$rc"
```
Expected: exit `0`; no release-history marker is introduced into current-state reference docs.
bun run typecheck > .context/engine-dynamic-import-typecheck.txt 2>&1; rc=$?; printf 'EXIT=%s\n' "$rc"; exit "$rc"
```
Expected: exit `0`. Report exact diagnostics if the branch or current Windows environment has a pre-existing failure.
- [ ] **Step 3: Run the authoritative verify dispatcher**
```bash
bun run verify > .context/engine-dynamic-import-verify.txt 2>&1; rc=$?; printf 'EXIT=%s\n' "$rc"; exit "$rc"
```
Expected: exit `0`, including `check:engine-dynamic-import`. On Windows, classify any per-check timeout from the complete log instead of treating the aggregate result as a source regression without evidence.
- [ ] **Step 4: Re-run focused tests as an ownership check**
```bash
bun test test/chronicle-ontology.test.ts test/chronicle-ontology-ops.test.ts test/recency-decay.test.ts test/core/retry.test.ts test/retry-matcher.test.ts test/audit/pool-recovery-audit.test.ts test/migrate-retry.test.ts test/timeline-dedup-repair.test.ts > .context/engine-dynamic-import-final-focused.txt 2>&1; rc=$?; printf 'EXIT=%s\n' "$rc"; exit "$rc"
```
Expected: exit `0`; record any infrastructure abort separately and rerun only the named file before classifying it.
- [ ] **Step 5: Run the llms freshness test after all documentation settles**
```bash
bun test test/build-llms.test.ts > .context/engine-dynamic-import-final-llms.txt 2>&1; rc=$?; printf 'EXIT=%s\n' "$rc"; exit "$rc"
- Exactly 13 safe `await import(...)` statements are removed.
- Exactly four `ai/gateway.ts` imports remain, all marked on the same line.
- All four gateway imports remain inside their original local `try/catch` fallback boundaries.
- No accessor logic, fallback ordering, SQL, public signature, or engine parity behavior changes.
- The parser-backed guard reports all violations plus read/parse failures, preserves CRLF line accounting, ignores comments/literals/type-only syntax, detects every runtime `import()` call expression, and accepts opt-outs only from real comment trivia on the same physical line.
- The package script invokes the shell guard through Bash; `check:all` invokes that shell guard directly, and the parallel verify dispatcher invokes the package check.
- Documentation is current-state and makes no deterministic Windows-crash claim.
**Observed Windows verification classification:** The authoritative aggregate completed with 25 of 33 checks passing. Individual reruns showed `check:test-names` and `typecheck` green; privacy/isolation exceeded Windows timing budgets; WASM failed in unrelated temporary-symlink setup; eval-glossary was CRLF/LF drift; resolver/brain-first findings predated and did not intersect this branch. The focused aggregate produced 103 pass / 5 fail: three setup-hook timeouts reproduced at the untouched base, and the known `migrate-retry` polling failure reproduced there. Its additional race-status assertion did not reproduce at base, so it remains an unresolved timing-sensitive limitation in untouched code—not evidence of an in-scope defect and not claimed as conclusively pre-existing.
- [ ] **Step 8: Commit the approved plan document locally**
The plan is an approved, tracked execution artifact and must not be left as an uncommitted file after implementation:
git commit -m "docs: plan engine dynamic-import reconciliation"
```
Expected: one local plan commit; no release metadata staged.
- [ ] **Step 9: Inspect final status without publishing**
```bash
git status --short --branch
```
Expected: branch `claude/kind-meitner-330c90` with a clean working tree. No push, PR, upstream comment, or other external side effect.
- [ ] **Step 10: Capture the completed milestone to memory**
Before writing, search MemPalace wing `gbrain` for this exact reconciliation to avoid duplication. Add a verbatim drawer recording exact base/head commits, the 13 hoists, four gateway opt-outs and rationale, guard/test/docs files, every verification command with exit code, and any environment-owned failures. Add a GBrain project timeline entry only if there is an existing relevant gbrain project page; do not create duplicate release metadata.
- [ ] **Step 11: Report the local result and ask separately before publication**
Report:
- exact local commits;
- changed files;
- test/check exit codes;
- any blocked or pre-existing failures;
- confirmation that release files were untouched;
- confirmation that nothing was pushed or published.
Do not run any publication command. Wait for explicit user approval before any push, PR, or upstream interaction.
# Scalar-source Backlink Validation Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Make backlink validation compare exact `(source_id, slug)` endpoint identities while preserving existing scalar, unscoped, and federated link-read semantics.
**Architecture:** Enrich every engine link-read row with the source identity of its joined from, to, and visible origin pages. Pass the validated page's scalar or federated scope into validator context; the backlink validator scopes its initial read consistently, groups targets by exact identity, and accepts only an exact reverse endpoint pair. SQL predicates remain unchanged, so trusted scalar cross-source visibility and federated all-endpoint containment remain intact.
**Tech Stack:** TypeScript, Bun test, PGLite, PostgreSQL/postgres.js.
## Global Constraints
- Use strict red-before-green TDD with duplicate slugs across sources.
- Keep PostgreSQL and PGLite projections in parity.
- Do not change schema or conditional-write conflict semantics.
- Keep deployment, restart, migration, and push actions outside the implementation tasks; a separately authorized release workflow may perform them after verification.
- Capture full test output to files before inspecting it.
---
### Task 1: Pin the backlink false-negative in PGLite
**Files:**
- Modify: `test/writer.test.ts`
**Interfaces:**
- Consumes: `backLinkValidator.validate(PageValidationContext)` and source-qualified `putPage`/`addLink`.
- Produces: regressions for wrong-source reverse rejection, exact reverse acceptance, cross-source pair acceptance, and exact target deduplication.
Create `default` and `team-x` copies of the origin and target, add `(team-x, origin) -> (team-x, target)` plus the wrong reverse `(team-x, target) -> (default, origin)`, validate with `sourceId: 'team-x'`, and require one warning.
- [ ] **Step 2: Run the focused test and verify RED**
```bash
bun test test/writer.test.ts -t "wrong-source reverse" > "$TEMP/backlink-red.txt" 2>&1
```
Expected: assertion failure because current slug-only validation returns zero findings.
- [ ] **Step 3: Add the remaining behavioral regressions after the first red is recorded**
Add tests proving that the exact reverse clears the warning, a legitimate cross-source forward/reverse pair passes, and two destinations sharing one slug but differing by source are validated independently.
### Task 2: Expose exact endpoint identity from both engines
- [ ] **Step 1: Add engine-contract assertions before implementation**
Assert scalar cross-source rows expose `beta -> default`, federated rows expose only in-grant endpoint IDs, `sourceIds` still beats scalar `sourceId`, and an out-of-grant origin has both `origin_slug` and `origin_source_id` null.
- [ ] **Step 2: Run the focused contract tests and verify RED**
```bash
bun test test/get-page-federated-scope.test.ts test/e2e/multi-source-bug-class.test.ts > "$TEMP/link-identity-red.txt" 2>&1
```
Expected: source-ID assertions fail because fields are absent.
- [ ] **Step 3: Extend `Link` and project IDs without changing predicates**
Use this additive contract:
```ts
export interface Link {
from_slug: string;
from_source_id: string;
to_slug: string;
to_source_id: string;
link_type: string;
context: string;
link_source?: string | null;
origin_slug?: string | null;
origin_source_id?: string | null;
origin_field?: string | null;
}
```
In all six branches per engine, project:
```sql
f.source_id AS from_source_id,
t.source_id AS to_source_id,
o.source_id AS origin_source_id
```
Keep every `WHERE` and grant-aware origin `LEFT JOIN` unchanged.
- Produces: optional `PageValidationContext.sourceId` and `sourceIds`, with `sourceIds` taking precedence.
- `runPostWriteLint(..., opts)` accepts the same optional scope and loads the validated page through it.
- [ ] **Step 1: Add a post-write nested-read regression and verify RED**
Validate a non-default page with a wrong-source reverse via `runPostWriteLint(..., { force: true, noLog: true, sourceId: 'team-x' })`; require a backlink warning.
Add `sourceId?`/`sourceIds?` to validation context and lint options. Load pages using `sourceIds` when non-empty, otherwise scalar `sourceId`. Pass the same scope into nested validators. In the put-page success hook, call lint with the already-resolved write source ID.
Initial outbound reads use the validation scope. Deduplicate rows by all four endpoint identity fields so every distinct expected origin remains represented even when targets share a source-qualified identity. Read each target using the federated grant when present, otherwise the target's exact scalar source. Accept only a row matching all four endpoint fields of the expected reverse.
- [ ] **Step 4: Run writer and post-write tests and verify GREEN**
```bash
bun test test/writer.test.ts test/post-write-lint.test.ts > "$TEMP/backlink-green.txt" 2>&1
```
Expected: all tests pass, including the recorded false-negative.
### Task 4: Verify PostgreSQL/PGLite parity and final scope
Compare sorted tuples containing `from_source_id`, `from_slug`, `to_source_id`, `to_slug`, `origin_source_id`, and `origin_slug` for scalar and federated fixtures.
- [ ] **Step 2: Run focused PGLite/source-isolation tests**
```bash
bun test test/writer.test.ts test/post-write-lint.test.ts test/get-page-federated-scope.test.ts test/e2e/multi-source-bug-class.test.ts > "$TEMP/backlink-focused.txt" 2>&1
```
Expected: exit 0.
- [ ] **Step 3: Run PostgreSQL parity when the test database is available**
```bash
bun test test/e2e/engine-parity.test.ts -t "federated sourceIds" --timeout=300000 > "$TEMP/backlink-parity.txt" 2>&1
```
Expected: exit 0; if the configured test database is unavailable, report the exact environmental blocker rather than claiming parity execution.
- [ ] **Step 4: Typecheck and inspect the final diff**
```bash
bun run typecheck > "$TEMP/backlink-typecheck.txt" 2>&1
```
Expected: exit 0. Then run `git diff --check` and confirm no version, schema, migration, deployment, or conditional-write files changed.
Reconcile the overlapping engine dynamic-import changes from:
- `claude/hungry-edison-8bb1cd` at release commits `48ada48f` and `248bfe55`
- `claude/elegant-gates-e5275e` at `ef4cf7a8`
onto a fresh branch from current `origin/master`, without merging or cherry-picking either lineage wholesale and without adding a release/version bump.
## Established state
At investigation time:
- `origin/master` was `6136e139972a5449630b4f47f5ed7b4cbe5b811b`, version `0.42.67.0`.
- Upstream PR #3511 was still open, so trunk did not contain its two `chronicle/ontology.ts` hoists.
- Neither source branch was an ancestor of trunk.
- Trunk contained 17 dynamic imports in the three engine-path files:
- 13 safe-hoist candidates: two ontology imports, nine engine helper/audit imports, and two migration imports.
- Four `ai/gateway.ts` imports, all inside `try/catch` fallback paths.
- `git log -G` showed the separate ontology, helper, migration, and gateway histories. `git log -S` is not suitable for this dynamic-to-static replacement because the relevant token can remain present while its context changes.
- The guard from `ef4cf7a8` passed against that commit but failed against trunk. It also knew about only two gateway opt-outs because two `_upsertChunksOnce` gateway lookups landed later in trunk.
## Selected approach
Reconstruct the intended current state directly on fresh `origin/master`.
Do not merge or cherry-pick either old lineage. Selectively reproduce the desired source changes, adapt the guard to the current four gateway call sites, and write current-state documentation. This avoids importing stale release metadata, stale TODO claims, and unrelated lineage changes.
## Source changes
### Safe static imports
Hoist all 13 safe candidates:
- `src/core/pglite-engine.ts`
- `valueHash`, `normalizeDimension`, `isNovelDimension` from `chronicle/ontology.ts`
- `isRetryableConnError` through the existing `retry.ts` import
- `resolveRecencyDecayMap`, `DEFAULT_FALLBACK` from `search/recency-decay.ts`
- `src/core/postgres-engine.ts`
- the same ontology, retry, and recency helpers
- `isConnectionEndedError` from `retry-matcher.ts`
- `logDbDisconnect` from `audit/db-disconnect-audit.ts`
- `logPoolRecovery` from `audit/pool-recovery-audit.ts`
- `src/core/migrate.ts`
- `isStatementTimeoutError`, `isRetryableConnError` from `retry-matcher.ts`
- `repairTimelineDedupIndex` from `timeline-dedup-repair.ts`
The implementation must keep the two engines in parity where the behavior is shared. Comments should describe current invariants, not repeat an unproven causal claim that these hoists fix the Windows test-runner crash.
### Deliberately lazy gateway imports
Keep all four `await import('./ai/gateway.ts')` call sites lazy:
- PGLite `initSchema`
- PGLite `_upsertChunksOnce`
- Postgres `initSchema`
- Postgres `_upsertChunksOnce`
Each line receives the explicit `engine-dynamic-import-ok` marker and a concise nearby rationale.
The rationale has two parts:
1. The gateway's static closure includes the AI SDK, provider packages, and validation/config machinery, so eager loading would tax engine startup paths that do not otherwise need it.
2. More importantly, each lookup is inside a `try/catch` that preserves a soft fallback (compiled defaults or the brain's stored embedding-model config). Hoisting the module would evaluate it before that catch can run and could convert a recoverable configuration/import failure into a module-load-time hard failure.
The guard must not allow unmarked gateway imports or a broad file-level exemption.
## Guard and wiring
Add `scripts/check-engine-dynamic-import.sh`, adapted from `ef4cf7a8`, with these properties:
- Default scan set:
- `src/core/pglite-engine.ts`
- `src/core/postgres-engine.ts`
- `src/core/migrate.ts`
- Normalize trailing CR before matching so CRLF checkouts cannot bypass the check.
- Ignore comment-only lines.
- Ignore only lines carrying `engine-dynamic-import-ok`.
- Report every unmarked `await import(` with file and line.
- Explain that contributors should prefer a static import and must justify a real opt-out.
- Avoid asserting that every dynamic import deterministically crashes Windows; the measured evidence supports treating the pattern as an engine-path hardening invariant, while box-level commit exhaustion remained a confound in prior runs.
Wire it into:
- `package.json` as `check:engine-dynamic-import`
- `package.json``check:all`
- `scripts/run-verify-parallel.sh`
Follow trunk's current rule that package scripts invoke repository shell scripts through `bash`.
## Regression coverage
Add an automated test for the guard. It must cover:
- A real dynamic import produces exit 1 and is reported.
- A line carrying `engine-dynamic-import-ok` is allowed.
- Line comments and block-comment lines do not produce findings.
- The same violation is caught with CRLF input.
- The default repository scan passes after the source reconciliation.
Use a temporary fixture rather than mutating tracked source files. Keep assertions path-portable.
The pre-fix red demonstration is the exact guard from `ef4cf7a8` run against current trunk: it exits 1 and reports the existing unmarked imports. The post-fix guard and test must pass.
## Documentation policy
Preserve current behavior, not either old release narrative:
- Do not modify `VERSION` or add a release `CHANGELOG.md` entry.
- Do not copy old version headings or completed release TODO blocks.
- Do not retain the old TODO claiming that extracting gateway accessors is necessarily the fix; the lazy imports are deliberately protected by their local soft-failure boundaries.
- Add the cross-cutting no-unmarked-dynamic-import invariant to `CLAUDE.md`.
- Update the current-state entries for `src/core/pglite-engine.ts`, `src/core/postgres-engine.ts`, and `src/core/migrate.ts` in `docs/architecture/KEY_FILES.md` where needed.
- Regenerate `llms.txt` and `llms-full.txt` after the documentation edits.
- Add a TODO only if implementation uncovers a real unresolved action.
Public documentation must use generic language and must not overstate the historical Windows crash causality.
## Verification
Capture full output to files before inspecting summaries. Run, at minimum:
1. The guard regression test.
2. `bash scripts/check-engine-dynamic-import.sh`.
3. Focused tests that exercise the touched engine, migration, retry, audit, and recency modules.
4. `bun run typecheck`.
5. `bun run verify`.
6. `bun run build:llms` followed by `bun test test/build-llms.test.ts`.
7. `git diff --check` and a final clean-status/diff review.
If platform contention or existing Windows suite defects block a broad test, report the exact command, exit code, and ownership classification rather than declaring success from a partial run.
## Git and publication boundary
- Work on `claude/kind-meitner-330c90`, reset locally to the exact investigated `origin/master` base.
- Preserve the previous worktree tip under `claude/kind-meitner-330c90-pre-reconcile`.
- Keep implementation and verification commits local.
- Do not push, create a PR, comment upstream, or otherwise publish without explicit user approval after the local result is complete.
the validator accepts any reverse row whose bare slugs are:
```text
people/target -> concepts/origin
```
That can incorrectly accept a row ending at `(default, concepts/origin)` instead of `(source-a, concepts/origin)`.
The bug is not that scalar `getLinks(slug, { sourceId })` permits cross-source destinations. That behavior is intentional: scalar scope qualifies the near/from endpoint while trusted local callers retain visibility into explicit cross-source edges. The gap is that a returned `Link` does not carry the source identity of either endpoint, so callers cannot distinguish same-slug pages.
## Reproduction and evidence
A deterministic PGLite reproduction creates duplicate `concepts/a` and `people/b` pages in `default` and `team-x`, then adds:
```text
(team-x, concepts/a) -> (team-x, people/b)
(team-x, people/b) -> (default, concepts/a)
```
The second edge is not a valid reverse of the first. Nevertheless:
returns the second row, and the current validator accepts it because `to_slug === 'concepts/a'`.
Both engines implement the same scalar rule: filter `f.slug` and `f.source_id`, join the actual destination by `to_page_id`, and do not filter `t.source_id`. Federated `sourceIds` is a separate branch that constrains all visible endpoints and takes precedence over scalar scope.
## Goals
1. Validate back-links by exact source-qualified endpoint identity.
2. Preserve explicit cross-source links for trusted scalar reads.
3. Preserve federated all-endpoint containment and `sourceIds` precedence.
4. Keep PostgreSQL and PGLite behavior identical.
5. Add strict red-before-green regressions using duplicate slugs across sources.
6. Avoid schema migrations and production operational changes.
## Non-goals
- Changing scalar link reads to same-source-only reads.
- Weakening or widening federated reads.
- Changing link write identity or database schema.
- Refactoring the atomic conditional-write branch.
- Coupling deployment, restart, or migration mechanics to the backlink code change. Release operations are handled separately after verification.
## Chosen approach
Extend the engine `Link` result with endpoint source identities and use those fields in the validator.
```ts
interface Link {
from_slug: string;
from_source_id: string;
to_slug: string;
to_source_id: string;
// existing fields
origin_slug?: string | null;
origin_source_id?: string | null;
}
```
All `getLinks` and `getBacklinks` query branches in PostgreSQL and PGLite will project the source IDs from the pages already joined as `f`, `t`, and `o`. No filtering behavior changes.
This approach is preferred over a dedicated `hasExactLink` method because it keeps source identity attached to the link data everywhere, avoids duplicate engine SQL and per-edge existence queries, and matches existing source-qualified link-write and batch-row contracts.
Validator-only raw SQL is rejected because validators should consume the `BrainEngine` contract rather than bypass it with engine-specific schema knowledge.
## Engine semantics
The existing three read modes remain unchanged.
### Unscoped
`getLinks(slug)` returns rows from all same-slug from-pages across sources. Each row identifies the actual source of both endpoints.
### Scalar source
`getLinks(slug, { sourceId })` matches exactly `(sourceId, slug)` on the from side. A destination may belong to another source, and `to_source_id` reveals that exact identity.
The corresponding scalar `getBacklinks` rule continues to match the exact destination/to-page identity while allowing a cross-source referrer.
### Federated sources
`getLinks(slug, { sourceIds })` continues to constrain from and to endpoints to the grant. The origin join continues to redact an out-of-grant origin. `sourceIds` continues to take precedence over scalar `sourceId`.
Adding source IDs to returned in-grant endpoints does not disclose anything new: the existing result already discloses those pages' slugs and edges. An out-of-grant endpoint remains absent.
## Validator algorithm
The validator receives the source scope associated with the page being validated.
Duplicate edge rows are deduplicated by the full endpoint pair `(from_source_id, from_slug, to_source_id, to_slug)`, not by bare target slug. This preserves separate reverse requirements when multiple same-slug origin pages point to one exact target.
For each target:
1. Read target outbound links using the target's exact scalar source when validation is scalar-scoped.
2. Under federated validation, retain the caller's `sourceIds` grant rather than converting it to scalar scope.
3. Accept only a returned row whose `from_source_id`, `from_slug`, `to_source_id`, and `to_slug` exactly match the expected reverse identity.
4. Emit the existing warning when no exact reverse exists.
This preserves legitimate cross-source pairs. For example:
`PageValidationContext` must carry the relevant scalar or federated source scope. The writer and post-write lint paths must load the page with that scope and pass the same scope to nested validator reads.
This change is scoped to source routing needed by validation. It does not modify conditional-write revision or conflict semantics and must not be applied to the atomic conditional-write branch.
## Testing strategy
### PGLite strict-TDD regression
Add duplicate pages across `default` and a second source, then prove before the production fix that:
1. A forward edge in the second source plus a wrong-source reverse produces a warning.
2. Adding the exact reverse removes the warning.
3. A legitimate cross-source forward/reverse pair passes.
4. Two same-slug destination pages are not collapsed into one target identity.
The first assertion must fail against the pre-fix implementation.
### Engine contract tests
For PGLite and PostgreSQL:
1. Assert link rows expose exact from/to source IDs.
2. Assert scalar reads still return explicit cross-source destinations.
3. Assert federated reads still exclude out-of-grant endpoints.
4. Assert `sourceIds` still takes precedence over scalar `sourceId`.
5. Assert origin source identity is null when the origin is redacted by the federated branch.
### Parity and focused verification
Run:
- the focused backlink validator test;
- source-isolation and federated link tests;
- the Postgres/PGLite parity fixture with a test database;
- related writer/post-write tests;
- `bun run typecheck`.
Capture complete command output to files before inspecting summaries. Do not use production databases or restart the live service.
## Compatibility
The `Link` change is additive at runtime. Existing consumers that read only slug or provenance fields continue to work. TypeScript object literals typed as complete `Link` values may need source fields; if compatibility pressure is high, the source fields can initially be optional in the public type while engine implementations and validator tests require their presence. The preferred contract is required endpoint source IDs because every persisted link always has both pages and therefore both source IDs.

**Model A: separate sources with OAuth scoping (recommended for true multi-user with different AI clients).** What this tutorial walks you through. Each teammate gets their own OAuth client, which carries `--source` + `--federated-read` flags. The brain refuses cross-source reads at the SQL layer; isolation is database-enforced. Each teammate can run their own MCP-aware client (Claude Code, Cursor, their own OpenClaw, etc.) and the scoping holds.
**Model B: one source, directory-based per-person scoping (simpler for one-agent-serves-everyone setups).** The shape I actually run in production: a single source called `default`, with a `partners/<slug>/` convention inside it (e.g. `partners/alice-example/`, `partners/bob-example/`). Each partner gets their own subdirectory holding their personal pages: `partners/alice-example/USER.md`, `partners/alice-example/concepts/`, `partners/alice-example/sources/`, etc. There's no OAuth-enforced isolation; the agent itself enforces "Alice's writes go to her partners/ subdir." This is the right model when ONE agent (yours) serves everyone over Telegram or a single shared interface. It's simpler ops, no per-user OAuth, but the scoping is convention-only.

It's simpler ops, no per-user OAuth. **Write scoping within the shared source can be server-enforced:** register each per-person client with `--bound-slug-prefixes partners/alice-example/` and every slug-mutating write outside that prefix is rejected with `permission_denied` (v0.42.72.0+). Without the binding, the scoping is convention-only (the agent polices itself). Read scoping stays source-granular in both models — within a shared source, everyone entitled to the source can read every folder.
For most company-brain installs (10+ teammates each with their own AI client), Model A is the right starting point. If you're running the fat-agent-serves-everyone pattern from the personal-brain tutorial, Model B is genuinely simpler. You can also mix: separate sources for the obviously-different ones (customer notes vs internal-only) AND a `partners/<slug>/` convention inside the shared source for per-person workspace.

A note on the flags:
- `--scopes read,write` lets the client query the brain and write new pages. You can omit `write` for read-only clients (executive summaries, dashboards). The `admin` scope is needed for operational commands like `gbrain remote doctor` and is usually reserved for your own admin client.
- `--source` controls write authority. A client can only write to one source. Within that source, your folder convention from Part 3 keeps each person's writes in their own subfolder.
- `--source` controls write authority. A client can only write to one source. Within that source, your folder convention from Part 3 keeps each person's writes in their own subfolder — and you can make that server-enforced with `--bound-slug-prefixes alice-example/` (v0.42.72.0+): every slug-mutating write op (put_page, delete_page, tags, links, timeline, revert, raw data) outside the bound prefixes is rejected with `permission_denied`. Update the binding later with `gbrain auth rescope-client <id> --bound-slug-prefixes <p1,p2|none>`. **Adding a binding to an existing client narrows it in ways you should expect:** ops that write by something other than a slug (`extract_entities`, `extract_facts`, `forget_fact`, `ontology_propose`, `sources_add`/`sources_remove`) and `POST /ingest` become unavailable to that client, and `put_page`'s automatic fact extraction is skipped — all because none of them can be confined to a prefix. Reads are unaffected. See [the qm-harness guide](../integrations/qm-harness.md) for the full model.

### If agents run as containers on the same Docker host
OAuth source scoping only guards the HTTP MCP path. If the brain's Postgres and your teammates' agent runtimes are containers on the same Docker host, make sure the agents can't reach Postgres directly over Docker's default bridge network — a direct DB session skips OAuth entirely. Put Postgres on its own user-defined network, publish it loopback-only if at all, and never hand agent containers a `DATABASE_URL`. The copy-paste operator checklist lives in [docs/mcp/DEPLOY.md — Co-located Docker workloads](../mcp/DEPLOY.md#co-located-docker-workloads-self-hosted-postgres).

## Step 6: Install GBrain
Once OpenClaw is running:
Once OpenClaw is running, installation is two commands — one in the brain repo, one in the agent workspace:
```bash
gbrain install
# In the BRAIN repo (the git repo that holds your markdown pages):
gbrain init --supabase
# In the AGENT WORKSPACE repo (where OpenClaw runs):
gbrain skillpack scaffold --all
```
This installs:
`gbrain init --supabase` walks a short wizard that asks for your Supabase connection string and creates the schema. You'll get that connection string in Step 7 — read 7a and 7b first so you paste the right one (the transaction pooler, not the direct connection). If you'd rather try things locally before paying for a database, `gbrain init --pglite` gives you a zero-config embedded engine instead; you can migrate to Supabase later with `gbrain migrate --to supabase`.
- About 60 skills
- About 9 skill packs
- Default brain structure
- MCP server configuration
- Supabase connection (for embeddings and search)
`gbrain skillpack scaffold --all` copies the ~43 bundled skills into your agent workspace as first-class files you can edit freely. (The old managed-install model was retired in v0.36.0.0; see `docs/INSTALL.md` if you're upgrading from an older release.)
GBrain populates the brain repo with its default directory structure, skill files, and configuration. From this point, the agent has working memory and access to every skill.

The sync backfills `page.type = 'meeting'` on all 4000 pages in 1000-row batches. Now:
- `gbrain whoknows "Q3 roadmap discussion"` routes through the meeting type, ranking by `expert_routing` signal (attendees, recency, salience) instead of raw text.
- `gbrain extract-facts` runs on every meeting page automatically (because `extractable: true`), pulling typed facts like `attended_by=alice-example`, `date=2026-05-23`.
- The `extract_facts` cycle runs on every meeting page automatically (because `extractable: true`), pulling typed facts like `attended_by=alice-example`, `date=2026-05-23`.

One command. 4000 pages went from invisible to queryable. The content didn't change. The structure did.

Three things gbrain does that generic note systems can't:
**1. The brain knows the difference between a person and an idea.** Page-type matters at query time. `gbrain whoknows` only considers `expert_routing: true` types. `gbrain extract-facts` only runs on `extractable: true` types. `gbrain graph-query` walks declared link verbs. None of that works on a flat tag system because tags don't have semantics — they're labels. Types are first-class citizens with rules attached.

None of that works on a flat tag system because tags don't have semantics — they're labels. Types are first-class citizens with rules attached.
**2. Untyped content is invisible content.** If your meetings are typed as `note`, expert routing skips them, facts extraction ignores them, link inference doesn't fire. They exist on disk and they're indexed for text search, but the structural surfaces (whoknows, find_experts, recall, think) treat them as second-class. Adding a type isn't cosmetic; it's structural promotion.
