+- `src/core/operations.ts` — Contract-first operation definitions (the foundation). Also exports upload validators: `validateUploadPath`, `validatePageSlug`, `validateFilename`, plus `matchesSlugAllowList(slug, prefixes)` (v0.23 glob matcher: `<prefix>/*` matches recursive children; bare `<prefix>` matches exact only). `OperationContext.remote` flags untrusted callers; `OperationContext.allowedSlugPrefixes` (v0.23) is the trusted-workspace allow-list set by the dream cycle. `put_page` enforces: when `viaSubagent` and `allowedSlugPrefixes` is set, slug must match the allow-list; else the legacy `wiki/agents/<id>/...` namespace check applies. Auto-link enabled for trusted-workspace writes (skipped only when `remote=true && !trustedWorkspace`). As of v0.26.0, every `Operation` also carries `scope?: 'read' | 'write' | 'admin'` + `localOnly?: boolean`. All ops are annotated; `sync_brain`, `file_upload`, `file_list`, and `file_url` are `admin + localOnly` (rejected over HTTP). `OperationContext.auth?: AuthInfo` is threaded through HTTP dispatch for scope enforcement in `serve-http.ts` before the op runs. **v0.26.9 (D12 + F7b):** `OperationContext.remote` is now a REQUIRED field in the TypeScript type — the compiler is the first defense against transports that forget to set it. Four trust-boundary call sites (`put_page` allowlist, file_upload trust-narrowing, submit_job protected-name guard, auto-link skip) flipped from falsy-default (`!ctx.remote`) to fail-closed semantics (`ctx.remote === false` for "trusted-only" sites and `ctx.remote !== false` for "untrust unless explicit-false"). Anything that isn't strictly `false` is now treated as remote. Closed an HTTP MCP shell-job RCE: a `read+write`-scoped OAuth token could submit `shell` jobs because the HTTP request handler's literal context skipped `remote: true` and `submit_job`'s protected-name guard saw a falsy undefined. Stdio MCP set the field correctly via dispatch.ts; HTTP inlined a parallel context-builder for several releases and lost it.
 - `src/core/engine.ts` — Pluggable engine interface (BrainEngine). `clampSearchLimit(limit, default, cap)` takes an explicit cap so per-operation caps can be tighter than `MAX_SEARCH_LIMIT`. Exports `LinkBatchInput` / `TimelineBatchInput` for the v0.12.1 bulk-insert API (`addLinksBatch` / `addTimelineEntriesBatch`). As of v0.13.1, `BrainEngine` has a `readonly kind: 'postgres' | 'pglite'` discriminator so migrations (`src/core/migrate.ts`) and other consumers can branch on engine without `instanceof` + dynamic imports.
 - `src/core/engine-factory.ts` — Engine factory with dynamic imports (`'pglite'` | `'postgres'`)
 - `src/core/pglite-engine.ts` — PGLite (embedded Postgres 17.5 via WASM) implementation, all 40 BrainEngine methods. `addLinksBatch` / `addTimelineEntriesBatch` use multi-row `unnest()` with manual `$N` placeholders. As of v0.13.1, `connect()` wraps `PGlite.create()` in a try/catch that emits an actionable error naming the macOS 26.3 WASM bug (#223) and pointing at `gbrain doctor`; the lock is released on failure so the next process can retry cleanly. v0.22.0: `searchKeyword` and `searchKeywordChunks` multiply `ts_rank` by the source-factor CASE expression at the chunk-grain level; `searchVector` becomes a two-stage CTE — inner CTE keeps `ORDER BY cc.embedding <=> vec` so HNSW stays usable, outer SELECT re-ranks by `raw_score * source_factor`. Inner LIMIT scales with offset to preserve pagination contract. As of v0.22.6.1, `initSchema()` calls `applyForwardReferenceBootstrap()` BEFORE replaying SCHEMA_SQL — probes for the specific forward-referenced state the embedded schema blob needs (`pages.source_id`, `links.link_source`, `links.origin_page_id`, `content_chunks.symbol_name`, `content_chunks.language`, `sources` FK target table) and adds only what's missing. Closes the upgrade-wedge bug class that bit users 10+ times across 6 schema versions over 2 years (#239/#243/#266/#357/#366/#374/#375/#378/#395/#396). No-op on fresh installs and modern brains.
 - `src/core/pglite-schema.ts` — PGLite-specific DDL (pgvector, pg_trgm, triggers)
-- `src/core/postgres-engine.ts` — Postgres + pgvector implementation (Supabase / self-hosted). `addLinksBatch` / `addTimelineEntriesBatch` use `INSERT ... SELECT FROM unnest($1::text[], ...) JOIN pages ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING RETURNING 1` — 4-5 array params regardless of batch size, sidesteps the 65535-parameter cap. As of v0.12.3, `searchKeyword` / `searchVector` scope `statement_timeout` via `sql.begin` + `SET LOCAL` so the GUC dies with the transaction instead of leaking across the pooled postgres.js connection (contributed by @garagon). `getEmbeddingsByChunkIds` uses `tryParseEmbedding` so one corrupt row skips+warns instead of killing the query. v0.22.0: `searchKeyword`, `searchKeywordChunks`, and `searchVector` apply source-aware ranking by inlining the source-factor CASE and `NOT (col LIKE …)` hard-exclude clause from `src/core/search/sql-ranking.ts`. `searchVector` switches to a two-stage CTE (HNSW-safe inner ORDER BY, source-boost re-rank in the outer SELECT) and carries `p.source_id` through inner→outer for v0.18 multi-source callers. v0.22.1 (#406): `_savedConfig` retains the connect config; `reconnect()` tears down + recreates the pool from saved config (called by supervisor watchdog after 3 consecutive health-check failures). `executeRaw` is a single-statement passthrough — no per-call retry (D3 dropped that as unsound for non-idempotent statements; recovery is supervisor-driven). v0.22.1 (#363, contributed by @orendi84): `connect()` applies `resolveSessionTimeouts()` from `db.ts` as connection-time startup parameters (`statement_timeout`, `idle_in_transaction_session_timeout`) so orphan pgbouncer backends can't hold locks for hours. v0.22.1 (#409, contributed by @atrevino47): `countStaleChunks()` + `listStaleChunks()` server-side-filter on `embedding IS NULL` for `embed --stale`, eliminating ~76 MB/call client-side pull on a fully-embedded brain; `upsertChunks()` resets both `embedding` AND `embedded_at` to NULL when chunk_text changes without a new embedding (consistency). As of v0.22.6.1, `initSchema()` calls `applyForwardReferenceBootstrap()` BEFORE replaying SCHEMA_SQL on the same forward-reference probe set as the PGLite engine, so old Postgres brains pinned at v0.13/v0.18/v0.19 walk forward cleanly instead of wedging on `column "..." does not exist`.
-- `src/core/utils.ts` — Shared SQL utilities extracted from postgres-engine.ts. Exports `parseEmbedding(value)` (throws on unknown input, used by migration + ingest paths where data integrity matters) and as of v0.12.3 `tryParseEmbedding(value)` (returns `null` + warns once per process, used by search/rescore paths where availability matters more than strictness).
+- `src/core/postgres-engine.ts` — Postgres + pgvector implementation (Supabase / self-hosted). `addLinksBatch` / `addTimelineEntriesBatch` use `INSERT ... SELECT FROM unnest($1::text[], ...)

New `_connectionStyle` instance field tracks whether the engine owns its pool (worker engines) or shares the module-level singleton; second call on an instance-pool engine is a no-op rather than falling through to `db.disconnect()` and clobbering the singleton. Pinned by `test/e2e/postgres-engine-disconnect-idempotency.test.ts` (2 cases). Closes the bug class where any test sharing an engine across multiple `worker.start()` / `worker.stop()` cycles silently broke its own DB connectivity.
+- `src/core/utils.ts` — Shared SQL utilities extracted from postgres-engine.ts. Exports `parseEmbedding(value)` (throws on unknown input, used by migration + ingest paths where data integrity matters) and as of v0.12.3 `tryParseEmbedding(value)` (returns `null` + warns once per process, used by search/rescore paths where availability matters more than strictness). **v0.26.9 (D14):** adds `isUndefinedColumnError(err)` predicate — pattern-matches Postgres SQLSTATE 42703 / "column ... does not exist" with engine-driver shape variation tolerated. Replaces bare `catch {}` blocks in `oauth-provider.ts` so genuine errors (lock timeout, network blip, permission denied) propagate while column-missing falls through to the legacy fallback path. Reusable from any future code that needs the same column-existence probe semantics.
 - `src/core/db.ts` — Connection management, schema initialization. v0.22.1 (#363, contributed by @orendi84): `resolveSessionTimeouts()` returns `statement_timeout` + `idle_in_transaction_session_timeout` (defaults: 5min each, env-overridable via `GBRAIN_STATEMENT_TIMEOUT` / `GBRAIN_IDLE_TX_TIMEOUT` / `GBRAIN_CLIENT_CHECK_INTERVAL`). Both `connect()` (module singleton) and `PostgresEngine.connect()` (worker pool) consume the result via postgres.js's `connection` option, sending GUCs as startup parameters that survive PgBouncer transaction mode (unlike the prior `setSessionDefaults` post-pool SET, kept as a back-compat no-op shim).

 - `src/core/search/sql-ranking.ts` (v0.22.0) — Pure SQL string builders. `buildSourceFactorCase(slugColumn, boostMap, detail)` emits a CASE expression with longest-prefix-match wins (returns literal `'1.0'` when `detail === 'high'` for temporal-bypass parity with COMPILED_TRUTH_BOOST). `buildHardExcludeClause(slugColumn, prefixes)` emits `NOT (col LIKE 'p1%' OR col LIKE 'p2%')` — OR-chain wrapped in NOT, NOT `NOT LIKE ALL/ANY` (those quantifiers don't express set-exclusion). LIKE meta-character escape covers all three of `%`, `_`, AND `\` (backslash matters because it's Postgres LIKE's default escape char). Single-quote doubling on SQL string literals so injection-style inputs are inert text.
-- `src/commands/eval.ts` — `gbrain eval` command: single-run table + A/B config comparison
-- `src/core/embedding.ts` — OpenAI text-embedding-3-large, batch, retry, backoff
+- `src/commands/eval.ts` — `gbrain eval` command: single-run table + A/B config comparison. v0.25.0 adds sub-subcommand dispatch on `args[0]` so `gbrain eval export` + `gbrain eval prune` + `gbrain eval replay` route into session-capture handlers; bare `gbrain eval --qrels …` fall-through preserves the legacy IR-metrics flow. v0.27.x adds `gbrain eval cross-modal` to the dispatch (the user-facing path is the cli.ts no-DB branch — `src/commands/eval.ts:cross-modal` only fires when callers re-enter with an existing engine).
+- `src/commands/eval-cross-modal.ts` (v0.27.x) — multi-model quality gate. Three different-provider frontier models score the OUTPUT against the TASK on a 5-dim list. Verdict `pass` (exit 0) / `fail` (exit 1) / `inconclusive` (exit 2; <2/3 model successes per Q3=A in plans/radiant-napping-lerdorf.md). Reuses `src/core/ai/gateway.ts:chat()` so config/auth/aliasing comes from the gateway recipe registry — no parallel provider stack. Self-configures the gateway (`configureGateway(loadConfig() + process.env)`) since the cli.ts dispatch bypasses `connectEngine()`. Default cycles 3 in TTY, 1 in non-TTY (T11=B partial cost guardrail). Receipts land at `gbrainPath('eval-receipts')/<slug>-<sha8-of-output>.json`. The full `--budget-usd` cap is a v0.27.x follow-up TODO.
+- `src/core/cross-modal-eval/json-repair.ts` (v0.27.x) — `parseModelJSON(raw)` named export with a 4-strategy fallback chain (direct parse → fence-strip → trailing-comma + single-quote + embedded-newline repair → regex nuclear option). Adversarial input throws rather than fabricating scores — the aggregator treats a throw as "this model contributed nothing this cycle" so the gate stays correct at >=2/3 successes.
+- `src/core/cross-modal-eval/aggregate.ts` (v0.27.x) — pure verdict logic. Pass criterion: `(successes >= 2) AND (every dim mean >= 7) AND (every dim min across models >= 5)` (Q2=A floor). Inconclusive when <2/3 models returned parseable scores (Q3=A regression guard for the v1 .mjs `Object.values({}).every(...) === true` empty-array PASS bug).
+- `src/core/cross-modal-eval/runner.ts` (v0.27.x) — orchestrator. Each cycle runs `Promise.allSettled([gwChat(slotA), gwChat(slotB), gwChat(slotC)])` (T4=A — bare allSettled, no rate-leases for the CLI path; minion-integration TODO recovers cross-process concurrency). Stops early on PASS or INCONCLUSIVE; runs up to 3 cycles. Default slots: `openai:gpt-4o` / `anthropic:claude-opus-4-7` / `google:gemini-1.5-pro`. `estimateCost()` exports a small per-model pricing table (drifts; refresh alongside model-family bumps).
+- `src/core/cross-modal-eval/receipt-name.ts` (v0.27.x) — receipt filename binds (slug, SKILL.md sha-8). `findReceiptForSkill(skillPath, receiptDir)` returns `'found' | 'stale' | 'missing'` (T10=A). Skillify-check item 11 surfaces the status as informational (T7=C); the audit does NOT fail on missing/stale receipts.
+- `src/core/cross-modal-eval/receipt-write.ts` (v0.27.x) — wraps `fs.writeFileSync` with `mkdirSync({recursive:true})` ahead of every write (T5 correction; `gbrainPath()` does NOT auto-mkdir).
+- `src/commands/eval-export.ts` (v0.25.0) — streams `eval_candidates` rows as NDJSON to stdout with `schema_version: 1` prefix on every line. EPIPE-safe, progress heartbeats on stderr, stable id-desc tiebreaker so `--since` windows never dupe/miss rows.
+- `src/commands/eval-prune.ts` (v0.25.0) — explicit retention cleanup. Requires `--older-than DUR`. `--dry-run` reports would-delete count.
+- `src/commands/eval-replay.ts` (v0.25.0) — contributor-facing replay tool. Reads NDJSON from `gbrain eval export`, re-runs each captured `query` / `search` op against the current brain, computes set-Jaccard@k between captured + current `retrieved_slugs`, top-1 stability rate, and latency Δ. Stable JSON shape (`schema_version: 1`) for CI gating; human mode prints a regression table. Pure Bun, zero new deps. The dev-loop half of BrainBench-Real that closes the gap between "data captured" and "data used to gate a PR." See `docs/eval-bench.md` for the workflow.
+- `docs/eval-bench.md` (v0.25.0) — contributor guide for using captured data to benchmark retrieval changes before merging. Linked from CONTRIBUTING.md under "Running real-world eval benchmarks (touching retrieval code)".
+- `src/core/eval-capture.ts` (v0.25.0) — op-layer capture wrapper called from `src/core/operations.ts` `query` + `search` handlers. Catches MCP + CLI + subagent tool-bridge from one site. Fire-and-forget; failures route to `engine.logEvalCaptureFailure` so `gbrain doctor` sees drops cross-process. **Capture is off by default** — `isEvalCaptureEnabled` resolution: explicit `config.eval.capture` (true/false) wins, else `process.env.GBRAIN_CONTRIBUTOR_MODE === '1'`, else off. Production users get a quiet brain; contributors set `export GBRAIN_CONTRIBUTOR_MODE=1` in `.zshrc` to enable the dev loop. PII scrubber gate is independent and defaults to true regardless of CONTRIBUTOR_MODE.
+- `src/core/eval-capture-scrub.ts` (v0.25.0) — zero-deps PII scrubber: emails, phones, SSN, Luhn-verified credit cards, JWT-shaped tokens, bearer tokens.
+- `src/core/search/hybrid.ts` — Cathedral II `Promise<SearchResult[]>` return shape unchanged in v0.25.0. Adds `onMeta?: (m: HybridSearchMeta) => void` callback so op-layer capture can record what hybridSearch actually did. Existing callers leave it undefined.
+- `docs/eval-capture.md` (v0.25.0) — stable NDJSON schema reference for gbrain-evals consumers.
+- `test/public-exports.test.ts` (v0.25.0 / R2) — runtime contract test. Imports each of the 17 public subpaths via package name and pins a canary symbol per module. Paired with `scripts/check-exports-count.sh`.
+- `src/core/embedding.ts` — OpenAI text-embedding-3-large, batch, retry, backoff. **v0.28.7:** `BATCH_SIZE` reverted 50→100 — the original Voyage safety guard halved OpenAI throughput on every page. Per-recipe pre-split + recursive halving + adaptive shrink-on-miss now live in the gateway, so the outer paginator goes back to its original purpose: progress-callback granularity, not batch protection.
+- `src/core/ai/types.ts` — provider/recipe types. **v0.28.7 (#680):** `EmbeddingTouchpoint` extended with optional `chars_per_token` (default 4 chars/token, matching OpenAI tiktoken on English) and `safety_factor` (default 0.8, budget-utilization ceiling). Both consulted only when `max_batch_tokens` is also set. Voyage declares `chars_per_token=1` + `safety_factor=0.5` to handle dense payloads (CJK/JSON/base64) that overshoot tiktoken. The pre-split budget is `max_batch_tokens × safety_factor / chars_per_token`.
+- `src/core/ai/gateway.ts` — unified seam for every AI call. **v0.28.7 (#680):** module-scoped `_embedTransport` defaulting to AI SDK `embedMany`, with `__setEmbedTransportForTests(fn)` test seam so tests drive the public `embed()` function with a stubbed transport instead of probing private helpers. `splitByTokenBudget` and `isTokenLimitError` are now exported `@internal` — pure functions reused directly by the test file. Module-level `_shrinkState: Map<recipeId, {factor, consecutiveSuccesses}>` halves the recipe's effective `safety_factor` on token-limit miss (floor 0.05) and heals back ×1.5 toward the ceiling after `SHRINK_HEAL_AFTER=10` consecutive successes. `configureGateway()` walks every registered recipe at construction time and emits a once-per-process stderr warning for any embedding touchpoint missing `max_batch_tokens` (excluding the canonical OpenAI fast-path recipe). `resetGateway()` clears `_shrinkState`, the warned-set, and restores the real transport. ASCII flow diagram embedded in the `embed()` JSDoc covers the routing decision, recursion + halving, and shrinkState lifecycle.
+- `src/core/ai/recipes/voyage.ts` — Voyage AI openai-compatible recipe. **v0.28.7 (#680):** declares `chars_per_token=1` + `safety_factor=0.5` so the gateway pre-splits Voyage batches at a 60K-character budget (50% of 120K-token cap with the dense-tokenizer ratio). Closes the v0.27 backfill loop where ~26% of the corpus stayed un-embedded because tiktoken-grounded budgeting silently undercounted Voyage's actual token usage.
 - `src/core/check-resolvable.ts` — Resolver validation: reachability, MECE overlap, DRY checks, structured fix objects. v0.14.1: `CROSS_CUTTING_PATTERNS.conventions` is an array (notability gate accepts both `conventions/quality.md` and `_brain-filing-rules.md`). New `extractDelegationTargets()` parses `> **Convention:**`, `> **Filing rule:**`, and inline backtick references. DRY suppression is proximity-based via `DRY_PROXIMITY_LINES = 40`.
 - `src/core/repo-root.ts` — Shared `findRepoRoot(startDir?)` (v0.16.4): walks up from `startDir` (default `process.cwd()`) looking for `skills/RESOLVER.md`. Zero-dependency module imported by both `doctor.ts` and `check-resolvable.ts`. Parameterized `startDir` makes tests hermetic.
 - `src/commands/check-resolvable.ts` — Standalone CLI wrapper (v0.16.4) over `checkResolvable()`. Exports `parseFlags`, `resolveSkillsDir`, `DEFERRED`, `runCheckResolvable`. Exit rule: **1 on any issue (warnings OR errors)**, stricter than doctor's `ok` flag — honors README:259. Stable JSON envelope `{ok, skillsDir, report, autoFix, deferred, error, message}` — same shape on success and error paths. `--fix` path runs `autoFixDryViolations` BEFORE `checkResolvable` (same ordering as doctor). `scripts/skillify-check.ts` subprocess-calls `gbrain check-resolvable --json` (cached per process) and fails loud on binary-missing — no silent false-pass. **v0.19:** AGENTS.md workspaces now resolve natively (see `src/core/resolver-filenames.ts`) — gbrain inspects the 107-skill OpenClaw deployment whether the routing file is `RESOLVER.md` or `AGENTS.md`. `DEFERRED[]` is empty — Checks 5 + 6 shipped as real code, not issue URLs.
 - `src/core/resolver-filenames.ts` (v0.19) — central list of accepted routing filenames (`RESOLVER.md`, `AGENTS.md`). Shared by `findRepoRoot`, `check-resolvable`, and skillpack install so every code path walks the same fallback chain.
 - `src/commands/skillify.ts` + `src/core/skillify/{generator,templates}.ts` (v0.19) — `gbrain skillify scaffold <name>` creates all stubs for a new skill in one command: SKILL.md, script, tests, routing-eval.jsonl, resolver entry, filing-rules pointer. `gbrain skillify check <script>` runs the 10-step checklist (LLM evals, routing evals, check-resolvable gate, filing audit) against a candidate skill before it lands.
 - `src/commands/skillify-check.ts` (v0.19) — `gbrain skillpack-check` agent-readable health report. Exit 0/1/2 for CI pipeline gating; JSON for debugging. Wraps `check-resolvable --json`, `doctor --json`, and migration ledger into one payload so agents can decide whether a human action is required.
-- `src/commands/skillpack.ts` + `src/core/skillpack/{bundle,installer}.ts` (v0.19) — `gbrain skillpack install` drops gbrain's curated 25-skill bundle into a host workspace, managed-block style. Never clobbers local edits; tracks a skill manifest so subsequent `install --update` diffs cleanly. Bundle builder (`skillpack/bundle.ts`) packages the set from `skills/` into a versioned payload.
+- `src/commands/book-mirror.ts` (v0.25.1) — `gbrain book-mirror --chapters-dir <path> --slug <slug> [flags]`. Flagship of the v0.25.1 skills wave. Submits N read-only subagent jobs (one per chapter; `allowed_tools: ['get_page', 'search']`), waits for all via `waitForCompletion`, reads each child's `job.result`, assembles two-column markdown CLI-side, writes a single operator-trust `put_page` to `media/books/<slug>-personalized.md`. Codex HIGH-1 fix applied: trust narrowing happens at the tool-allowlist layer (subagents can't call put_page) instead of allowedSlugPrefixes — untrusted EPUB content cannot prompt-inject any people page. Cost-estimate prompt before launching; refuses to spend in non-TTY without `--yes`. Per-chapter idempotency keys (`book-mirror:<slug>:ch-<N>`) for retry-friendly re-runs. Partial-failure handling: assembles with completed chapters and a `## Failed chapters` section listing retries. Test surface: `test/book-mirror.test.ts` (9 cases — CLI registration + source invariants).
+- `src/commands/skillpack.ts` + `src/core/skillpack/{bundle,installer}.ts` (v0.19) — `gbrain skillpack install` drops gbrain's curated 25-skill bundle into a host workspace, managed-block style. Never clobbers local edits; tracks a skill manifest so subsequent `install --update` diffs cleanly. Bundle builder (`skillpack/bundle.ts`) packages the set from `skills/` into a versioned payload. **v0.24.0:** managed block embeds a `<!-- gbrain:skillpack:manifest cumulative-slugs="..." version="..." -->` receipt inside the fence. Per-skill installs accumulate via `union(prior_receipt, this_call)`; `install --all` is the only path that prunes (drops slugs no longer in the bundle). Rows inside the fence whose slug is in neither the new cumulative set nor the bundle survive as user-added with a stderr `[skillpack] unknown row in managed block: "<slug>" — Investigate: ...` warning. Pre-v0.24 fences upgrade silently on first install (extracted slugs become the prior cumulative set). **v0.25.1:** `gbrain skillpack uninstall <name>` lands as a real CLI subcommand. Inverse of install with symmetric data-loss posture: D8 refuses if the slug isn't in the cumulative-slugs receipt (won't nuke a hand-added row); D11 content-hash guard refuses if any installed file diverges from the bundle (you've edited it locally) unless `--overwrite-local` is passed. `applyUninstall` enforces an atomic-refusal contract: pre-scans ALL files for divergence; refuses BEFORE any unlink fires if anything is blocked. The bug fix landed via `test/skillpack-uninstall.test.ts`'s D11 case — the test was written with the contract in mind, the original implementation interleaved hash-check + unlink, and the lie surfaced immediately.
+- `src/core/archive-crawler-config.ts` (v0.25.1) — D12 + codex HIGH-4 safety gate for the `archive-crawler` skill. Refuses to run unless `archive-crawler.scan_paths:` is explicitly set in the brain repo's `gbrain.yml`. Mirrors the storage-config.ts parsing pattern (sibling file; separate concern from storage tiering). `loadArchiveCrawlerConfig(repoPath)` throws `ArchiveCrawlerConfigError(missing_section | empty_scan_paths | invalid_path | parse_error)`. `normalizeAndValidateArchiveCrawlerConfig` rejects relative paths and `..` traversal; `~` is expanded; trailing-slash normalized for unambiguous prefix matching. `isPathAllowed(candidate, config)` is the runtime per-file gate (scan_paths prefix-match with directory-boundary correctness; deny_paths overrides). Tests in `test/archive-crawler-config.test.ts` (19 cases).
+- `test/helpers/cli-pty-runner.ts` (v0.25.1) — generic real-PTY harness ported from gstack and trimmed to ~470 lines. Uses pure `Bun.spawn({terminal:})` (Bun 1.3.10+; engines.bun pin in package.json). Generic primitives only — no plan-mode orchestrators. Exports: `launchPty`, `resolveBinary`, `stripAnsi`, `parseNumberedOptions`, `optionsSignature`, `isNumberedOptionListVisible`, `isTrustDialogVisible`. Self-tests in `test/cli-pty-runner.test.ts` (24 cases).
 - `src/core/skill-manifest.ts` (v0.19) — parser for `skill-manifest.json` records. Used by skillpack installer to detect drift between the shipped bundle and the user's local edits, so updates merge instead of overwriting.
-- `src/commands/routing-eval.ts` + `src/core/routing-eval.ts` (v0.19) — `gbrain routing-eval` catches user phrasings that route to the wrong skill. Reads `skills/<name>/routing-eval.jsonl` fixtures (`{intent, expected_skill, ambiguous_with?}`). Structural layer runs in `check-resolvable` by default (zero API cost); `--llm` opts into a Haiku tie-break layer for CI. False positives surface before users hit them.

Reads `skills/<name>/routing-eval.jsonl` fixtures (`{intent, expected_skill, ambiguous_with?}`). Structural layer runs in `check-resolvable` by default (zero API cost). The `--llm` flag is accepted as a placeholder for a future LLM tie-break layer; in v0.24.0 it emits a stderr notice and runs structural only. False positives surface before users hit them.
 - `src/core/filing-audit.ts` + `skills/_brain-filing-rules.json` (v0.19) — Check 6 of `check-resolvable`. Parses new `writes_pages:` / `writes_to:` frontmatter on skills and audits their filing claims against the filing-rules JSON. Warning-only in v0.19, upgrades to error in v0.20.
 - `src/core/dry-fix.ts` — `gbrain doctor --fix` engine. `autoFixDryViolations(fixes, {dryRun})` rewrites inlined rules to `> **Convention:** see [path](path).` callouts via three shape-aware expanders (bullet / blockquote / paragraph). Five guards: working-tree-dirty (`getWorkingTreeStatus()` returns 3-state `'clean' | 'dirty' | 'not_a_repo'`), no-git-backup, inside-code-fence, already-delegated (40-line proximity, consistent with detector), ambiguous-multi-match, block-is-callout. `execFileSync` array args (no shell — no injection surface). EOF newline preserved.

As of v0.12.1 there is no in-memory dedup pre-load — candidates are buffered 100 at a time and flushed via `addLinksBatch` / `addTimelineEntriesBatch`; `ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING` enforces uniqueness at the DB layer, and the `created` counter returns real rows inserted (truthful on re-runs). v0.22.1 (#417): `ExtractOpts.slugs?: string[]` enables incremental extract — when set, `extractForSlugs()` reads ONLY those slugs' files (single combined links+timeline pass) instead of the full directory walk. CLI `gbrain extract` keeps full-walk behavior; the cycle path threads sync's `pagesAffected` through. `walkMarkdownFiles(brainDir)` still runs at line 455 to build `allSlugs` for link resolution — see `TODOS.md` for replacing it with `engine.getAllSlugs()`.
 - `src/commands/graph-query.ts` — `gbrain graph-query <slug> [--type T] [--depth N] [--direction in|out|both]`: typed-edge relationship traversal (renders indented tree)

Bun (like Node) only auto-reaps when a SIGCHLD listener is registered; without it, every child the worker spawns (shell jobs, embed batches, sub-agents) becomes a zombie on exit and holds connection slots. Called once at module load from `src/cli.ts` (with Windows platform guard — SIGCHLD doesn't exist on Windows). Cross-file leak guard via `_uninstallSigchldHandlerForTests()` for tests. Layer 1 of the three-layer zombie defense; Layer 2 is tini-as-PID-1 wrapping the worker subtree (via `src/core/minions/spawn-helpers.ts`); Layer 3 is the container's own tini for hard Bun crashes.

-- `src/core/minions/worker.ts` — MinionWorker class (handler registry, lock renewal, graceful shutdown, timeout safety net). v0.14.0 abort-path fix: aborted jobs now call `failJob` with reason (`timeout`/`cancel`/`lock-lost`/`shutdown`) instead of returning silently. `shutdownAbort` (instance field) fires on process SIGTERM/SIGINT and propagates to `ctx.shutdownSignal` — shell handler listens to it; non-shell handlers don't. v0.22.1 (#403): per-job timeout fires `abort.abort(new Error('timeout'))` then a 30-second grace-then-evict safety net force-evicts the job from `inFlight` and marks it dead in DB if the handler ignores the abort signal — frees the slot even when a handler wedges (the 98-waiting-0-active prod incident driver).
-- `src/core/minions/supervisor.ts` — MinionSupervisor process manager. Spawns `gbrain jobs work` as a child, restarts on crash with exponential backoff, periodic health check. v0.22.1 (#406): `consecutiveHealthFailures` counter; on 3 consecutive failures emits `health_warn` with `reason: 'db_connection_degraded'` and calls `engine.reconnect()` to swap in a fresh pool, then resets the counter.

Resolves the DRY violation between the two spawn sites and makes the tini wrapping testable without `mock.module()` (rule R2 of `scripts/check-test-isolation.sh`). `detectTini()` calls `execFileSync('which', ['tini'])` with explicit `env: process.env` so Bun sees runtime PATH mutations (the env-snapshot bug fix). `buildSpawnInvocation(tiniPath, cmd, args)` returns `{cmd, args}` with tini prepended when present, or the bare invocation otherwise. Pinned by `test/spawn-helpers.test.ts` (5 cases) and `test/supervisor-tini.test.ts` (4 cases).

-- `src/mcp/rate-limit.ts` (v0.22.7) — Bounded-LRU token-bucket limiter for `gbrain serve --http`. `buildDefaultLimiters()` returns the two-bucket pipeline used by http-transport: pre-auth IP (default 30/60s, fires BEFORE the DB lookup so brute-force load against `access_tokens` is actually capped) + post-auth token-id (default 60/60s). Tracks `lastTouchedMs` separately from `lastRefillMs` so an exhausted key can't be reset by hammering past the TTL. LRU cap (default 10K keys) bounds memory under attacker-controlled key growth; TTL prune at 2× window evicts abandoned buckets.
-- `src/mcp/http-transport.ts` (v0.22.7, rewrite) — `gbrain serve --http` HTTP transport. Postgres-only — fails fast at startup on PGLite (the `access_tokens` table only exists on Postgres). Bearer auth against SHA-256 hashes in `access_tokens`. CORS default-deny via `GBRAIN_HTTP_CORS_ORIGIN` allowlist. Body cap stream-counted (1 MiB default via `GBRAIN_HTTP_MAX_BODY_BYTES`) so chunked transfers without Content-Length still hit the cap. `last_used_at` SQL-level debounce (one UPDATE per token per 60s). Per-request audit row in `mcp_request_log` with token_name + operation + status + latency. Optional `GBRAIN_HTTP_TRUST_PROXY=1` honors `X-Forwarded-For` — only safe when bound to a private interface AND the proxy strips client-supplied XFF (otherwise enables IP spoofing past the pre-auth rate limit). `/health` does `SELECT 1` against Postgres and returns 503 + `status:unhealthy` when the DB is unreachable so orchestration doesn't see green pods while clients get misleading 401s. Replaces the standalone OAuth wrapper that was vulnerable to unauthenticated client registration.
-- `src/commands/auth.ts` — Token management for the HTTP transport. `gbrain auth create/list/revoke/test`. As of v0.22.7 wired into the main CLI (`src/cli.ts`); also runs standalone via `bun run src/commands/auth.ts ...` for environments without a compiled binary. Tokens stored as SHA-256 hashes in `access_tokens` (Postgres-only).
+- `src/mcp/dispatch.ts` (v0.22.7) — Shared tool-call dispatch consumed by both stdio (`server.ts`) and HTTP transports. Exports `dispatchToolCall(engine, name, params, opts)`, `buildOperationContext(engine, params, opts)`, and `validateParams(op, params)`. Single source of truth for `(ctx, params)` handler arg order and the 5-field `OperationContext` shape (engine + config + logger + dryRun + remote). Defaults to `remote: true` (untrusted); local CLI callers pass `remote: false`. Closed F1/F2/F3 drift bugs in the original v0.22.5 HTTP transport. **v0.26.9 (F8):** adds `summarizeMcpParams(opName, params)` — privacy-preserving redactor for `mcp_request_log` and the admin SSE feed. Returns `{redacted, kind, declared_keys, unknown_key_count, approx_bytes}`. Intersects submitted top-level keys against the operation's declared `params` allow-list (declared keys preserved as a sorted array for debug visibility; unknown keys counted but never named, closing the attacker-controlled-key-name leak). Byte counts bucketed up to nearest 1KB so an attacker can't binary-search secret-content sizes via repeated probes. Operators on a personal laptop who want raw payload visibility opt back in with `gbrain serve --http --log-full-params` (loud stderr warning at startup). Canonical helper — new logging code paths route through it rather than `JSON.stringify(params)`.
+- `src/mcp/rate-limit.ts` (v0.22.7) — Bounded-LRU token-bucket limiter. `buildDefaultLimiters()` returns the two-bucket pipeline: pre-auth IP (30/60s, fires BEFORE the DB lookup so brute-force load against `access_tokens` is actually capped) + post-auth token-id (60/60s). Tracks `lastTouchedMs` separately from `lastRefillMs` so an exhausted key can't be reset by hammering past the TTL. LRU cap bounds memory under attacker-controlled key growth.
+- `src/commands/serve-http.ts` (v0.26.0) — Express 5 HTTP MCP server with OAuth 2.1, admin dashboard, and SSE live activity feed. Started via `gbrain serve --http [--port N] [--token-ttl N] [--enable-dcr] [--public-url URL] [--log-full-params]`. Supersedes the v0.22.7 `src/mcp/http-transport.ts` simple bearer-auth path. Combines MCP SDK's `mcpAuthRouter` (authorize / token / register / revoke endpoints), a custom `client_credentials` handler (SDK's token endpoint throws `UnsupportedGrantTypeError` for CC; the custom handler runs BEFORE the router and falls through for `auth_code` / `refresh_token`), `requireBearerAuth` middleware for `/mcp` with scope enforcement before op dispatch, `localOnly` rejection, and `express-rate-limit` at 50 req / 15 min on `/token`. Serves the built admin SPA from `admin/dist/` with SPA fallback. `/admin/events` SSE endpoint broadcasts every MCP request to connected admin browsers. `cookie-parser` middleware wired (Express 5 has no built-in). Startup logging prints port, engine, configured issuer URL (honors `--public-url`), registered-client count, DCR status, and admin bootstrap token. **v0.26.9 hardening pass:** F7 sets `remote: true` explicitly on the `/mcp` request handler's OperationContext literal (closes the HTTP shell-job RCE — without this, `submit_job`'s protected-name guard at `operations.ts:1391` saw a falsy undefined and skipped, letting a `read+write`-scoped OAuth token submit `shell` jobs). F8 wires `summarizeMcpParams` from `src/mcp/dispatch.ts` into both `mcp_request_log` writes and the admin SSE feed by default (raw payloads opt-in via `--log-full-params` with stderr warning). F9 sets cookie `Secure` flag when behind HTTPS or a public-URL proxy. F10 caps the magic-link nonce store with an LRU bound. F12 routes DCR disable through the `GBrainOAuthProvider` constructor's `dcrDisabled` option instead of the prior monkey-patch on the express router. F14 wraps `transport.handleRequest` in try/catch so SDK throws return a JSON-RPC 500 envelope instead of express's default HTML error page. F15 unifies OperationError + unexpected exceptions through `buildError` / `serializeError` so `/mcp` always returns the same envelope shape. **v0.28.1:** `/health` endpoint extracted into pure `probeHealth(engine)` async function with `HEALTH_TIMEOUT_MS = 3000` exported constant — drops the timeout from 5s to 3s so Fly.io's 5s health-check deadline gets 2s of headroom for TCP, response framing, and clock skew. Races `engine.getStats()` against the timeout via `Promise.race`; saturated pool returns 503 with `Health check timed out (database pool may be saturated)` instead of hanging. `clearTimeout` in finally block prevents pending-timer pile-up under high probe rates (race-leak fix from adversarial review).
+- `src/core/oauth-provider.ts` (v0.26.0) — `GBrainOAuthProvider` implementing the MCP SDK's `OAuthServerProvider` + `OAuthRegisteredClientsStore` interfaces. Backed by raw SQL (works on both PGLite and Postgres — OAuth is infrastructure, not a BrainEngine concern). Full OAuth 2.1 spec: `authorize` + `exchangeAuthorizationCode` with PKCE (for ChatGPT), `client_credentials` (for Perplexity / Claude), `refresh_token` with rotation, `revokeToken`, `registerClient` (DCR path validates redirect_uri must be `https://` or loopback per RFC 6749 §3.1.2.1). All tokens + client secrets SHA-256 hashed before storage. Auth codes single-use with 10-minute TTL via atomic `DELETE...RETURNING` (closes RFC 6749 §10.5 TOCTOU race). Refresh rotation also `DELETE...RETURNING` (closes §10.4 stolen-token detection bypass). `pgArray()` escapes commas/quotes/braces in elements so a comma-bearing redirect_uri can't smuggle a second array element. Legacy `access_tokens` fallback in `verifyAccessToken` grandfathers pre-v0.26 bearer tokens as `read+write+admin`. `sweepExpiredTokens()` runs on startup wrapped in try/catch. **v0.26.9 RFC 6749/7009 hardening pass:** F1+F2 fold `client_id` atomically into the `DELETE WHERE` clauses for both auth-code exchange and refresh rotation — pre-fix the post-hoc client compare burned the row on wrong-client paths so the legitimate client couldn't retry. F3 enforces refresh-scope-subset against the original grant on the row (RFC 6749 §6), not the client's currently-allowed scopes — fixes the case where revoking a scope from a client wouldn't shrink the agent's existing refresh tokens. F4 binds `client_id` on `revokeToken` so a client can only revoke its own tokens (RFC 7009 §2.1). F7c validates the `/token` request's `redirect_uri` against the value stored at `/authorize` (RFC 6749 §4.1.3) — empty-string treated as missing rather than wildcard match (adversarial-review fix). F5 swaps bare `catch {}` blocks in `verifyAccessToken` and `getClient` for `isUndefinedColumnError` from `src/core/utils.ts` — only SQLSTATE 42703 falls through to legacy fallback; lock timeouts and network blips throw and surface. F6 makes `sweepExpiredTokens()` actually return the count via `RETURNING 1` + array length, not a fire-and-forget zero. F12 adds `dcrDisabled` constructor option so `serve-http.ts` can disable the `/register` endpoint without monkey-patching the router. **v0.26.2:** module-private `coerceTimestamp()` boundary helper at the top of the file normalizes postgres-driver-as-string BIGINT columns to JS numbers at every read site (5 call sites: `getClient` L112+L113 for DCR `/register` RFC 7591 §3.2.1 numeric timestamps, `exchangeRefreshToken` L274 + `verifyAccessToken` L296+L303 for the SDK's `typeof === 'number'` bearerAuth check). Throws on non-finite input (NaN/Infinity) so corrupt rows fail loud at the boundary instead of riding through as `expiresAt: NaN`; returns undefined for SQL NULL so callers decide NULL semantics explicitly (refresh + access token paths treat NULL as expired). Helper intentionally NOT promoted to `src/core/utils.ts` — codex review flagged repo-wide BIGINT precision-loss risk for a generic helper.
+- `admin/` (v0.26.0) — React 19 + Vite + TypeScript admin SPA embedded in the binary via `admin/dist/` served by `serve-http.ts`. 7 screens: Login (bootstrap token → session cookie), Dashboard (metrics + SSE feed + token health), Agents (sortable table + sparklines + Register button), Register (modal with scope checkboxes + grant type selector), Credentials reveal (full-screen modal with Copy + Download JSON + yellow one-time-only warning), Request Log (filterable paginated), Agent Detail drawer (Details / Activity / Config Export tabs + Revoke). Design tokens: `#0a0a0f` bg, Inter for UI, JetBrains Mono for data, 4-32px spacing scale, rounded pill badges. HTTP-only SameSite=Strict cookie auth. 65KB gzip. Build: `cd admin && bun install && bun run build`; output at `admin/dist/` is committed for self-contained binaries.
+- `src/commands/auth.ts` — Token management. `gbrain auth create/list/revoke/test` for legacy bearer tokens (v0.22.7 wired as a first-class CLI subcommand) plus `gbrain auth register-client` (v0.26.0) and `gbrain auth revoke-client <client_id>` (v0.26.2) for OAuth 2.1 client lifecycle. `revoke-client` runs an atomic `DELETE...RETURNING` on `oauth_clients`; FK `ON DELETE CASCADE` on `oauth_tokens.client_id` and `oauth_codes.client_id` purges every active token + authorization code in a single transaction. `process.exit(1)` on no-such-client (idempotent — re-running on the same id produces the same exit-1 message). Legacy tokens stored as SHA-256 hashes in `access_tokens`; OAuth clients in `oauth_clients`. As of v0.26.0, legacy tokens grandfather to `read+write+admin` scopes on the OAuth HTTP server, so pre-v0.26 deployments keep working with no migration.
 - `src/commands/upgrade.ts` — Self-update CLI. `runPostUpgrade()` enumerates migrations from the TS registry (src/commands/migrations/index.ts) and tail-calls `runApplyMigrations(['--yes', '--non-interactive'])` so the mechanical side of every outstanding migration runs unconditionally.
 - `src/commands/migrations/` — TS migration registry (compiled into the binary; no filesystem walk of `skills/migrations/*.md` needed at runtime). `index.ts` lists migrations in semver order. `v0_11_0.ts` = Minions adoption orchestrator (8 phases). `v0_12_0.ts` = Knowledge Graph auto-wire orchestrator (5 phases: schema → config check → backfill links → backfill timeline → verify). `phaseASchema` has a 600s timeout (bumped from 60s in v0.12.1 for duplicate-heavy brains). `v0_12_2.ts` = JSONB double-encode repair orchestrator (4 phases: schema → repair-jsonb → verify → record). `v0_14_0.ts` = shell-jobs + autopilot cooperative (2 phases: schema ALTER minion_jobs.max_stalled SET DEFAULT 3 — superseded by v0.14.3's schema-level DEFAULT 5 + UPDATE backfill; pending-host-work ping for skills/migrations/v0.14.0.md). All orchestrators are idempotent and resumable from `partial` status. As of v0.14.2 (Bug 3), the RUNNER owns all ledger writes — orchestrators return `OrchestratorResult` and `apply-migrations.ts` persists a canonical `{version, status, phases}` shape after return. Orchestrators no longer call `appendCompletedMigration` directly. `statusForVersion` prefers `complete` over `partial` (never regresses). 3 consecutive partials → wedged → `--force-retry <version>` writes a `'retry'` reset marker. v0.14.3 (fix wave) ships schema-only migrations v14 (`pages_updated_at_index`) + v15 (`minion_jobs_max_stalled_default_5` with UPDATE backfill) via the `MIGRATIONS` array in `src/core/migrate.ts` — no orchestrator phases needed.
 - `src/commands/repair-jsonb.ts` — `gbrain repair-jsonb [--dry-run] [--json]`: rewrites `jsonb_typeof='string'` rows in place across 5 affected columns (pages.frontmatter, raw_data.data, ingest_log.pages_updated, files.metadata, page_versions.frontmatter). Fixes v0.12.0 double-encode bug on Postgres; PGLite no-ops. Idempotent.
 - `src/commands/orphans.ts` — `gbrain orphans [--json] [--count] [--include-pseudo]`: surfaces pages with zero inbound wikilinks, grouped by domain. Auto-generated/raw/pseudo pages filtered by default. Also exposed as `find_orphans` MCP operation. Shipped in v0.12.3 (contributed by @knee5).
 - `src/commands/integrity.ts` — `gbrain integrity check|auto|review|extract`: bare-tweet detection, dead-link detection, three-bucket repair (auto-repair / review-queue / skip). `scanIntegrity()` is the shared library function called from `gbrain doctor` (sampled at limit=500) and `cmdCheck` (full scan). v0.22.8: batch-load fast path on Postgres uses `SELECT DISTINCT ON (slug)` in a single SQL query to fix the PgBouncer round-trip timeout (60s → ~6s) while preserving `engine.getAllSlugs()`'s `Set<string>` semantics on multi-source brains. Gated by `engine.kind === 'postgres'` at the call site so PGLite never enters batch; fallback `catch` logs at `GBRAIN_DEBUG=1` so real Postgres errors are diagnosable.
-- `src/commands/doctor.ts` — `gbrain doctor [--json] [--fast] [--fix] [--dry-run] [--index-audit]`: health checks. v0.12.3 added `jsonb_integrity` + `markdown_body_completeness` reliability checks. v0.14.1: `--fix` delegates inlined cross-cutting rules to `> **Convention:** see [path](path).` callouts (pipes DRY violations into `src/core/dry-fix.ts`); `--fix --dry-run` previews without writing. v0.14.2: `schema_version` check fails loudly when `version=0` (migrations never ran — the #218 `bun install -g` signature) and routes users to `gbrain apply-migrations --yes`; new opt-in `--index-audit` flag (Postgres-only) reports zero-scan indexes from `pg_stat_user_indexes` (informational only, no auto-drop). v0.15.2: every DB check is wrapped in a progress phase; `markdown_body_completeness` runs under a 1s heartbeat timer so 10+ min scans are observable on 50K-page brains. v0.19.1 added `queue_health` (Postgres-only) with two subchecks: stalled-forever active jobs (started_at > 1h) and waiting-depth-per-name > threshold (default 10, override via `GBRAIN_QUEUE_WAITING_THRESHOLD`). Worker-heartbeat subcheck intentionally deferred to follow-up B7 because it needs a `minion_workers` table to produce ground-truth signal. Fix hints point at `gbrain repair-jsonb`, `gbrain sync --force`, `gbrain apply-migrations`, and `gbrain jobs get/cancel <id>`. v0.22.12 (#500): `sync_failures` check shows `[CODE=N, ...]` breakdown for both unacked entries (warn) and acked-historical entries (ok), surfacing systemic failure modes (`SLUG_MISMATCH=2685`) instead of a bare count.
-- `src/core/migrate.ts` — schema-migration runner. Owns the `MIGRATIONS` array (source of truth for schema DDL). v0.14.2 extended the `Migration` interface with `sqlFor?: { postgres?, pglite? }` (engine-specific SQL overrides `sql`) and `transaction?: boolean` (set to false for `CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY`, which Postgres refuses inside a transaction; ignored on PGLite since it has no concurrent writers). Migration v14 (fix wave) uses a handler branching on `engine.kind` to run CONCURRENTLY on Postgres (with a pre-drop of any invalid remnant via `pg_index.indisvalid`) and plain `CREATE INDEX` on PGLite. v15 bumps `minion_jobs.max_stalled` default 1→5 and backfills existing non-terminal rows. v0.22.6.1: migration v24 (`rls_backfill_missing_tables`) uses `sqlFor: { pglite: '' }` to no-op on PGLite — PGLite has no RLS engine and is single-tenant by definition, and the v24 ALTERs target subagent tables that don't exist in pglite-schema.ts. Closes #395 (contributed by @jdcastro2).
+- `src/commands/doctor.ts` — `gbrain doctor [--json] [--fast] [--fix] [--dry-run] [--index-audit]`: health checks. v0.12.3 added `jsonb_integrity` + `markdown_body_completeness` reliability checks. v0.14.1: `--fix` delegates inlined cross-cutting rules to `> **Convention:** see [path](path).` callouts (pipes DRY violations into `src/core/dry-fix.ts`); `--fix --dry-run` previews without writing. v0.14.2: `schema_version` check fails loudly when `version=0` (migrations never ran — the #218 `bun install -g` signature) and routes users to `gbrain apply-migrations --yes`; new opt-in `--index-audit` flag (Postgres-only) reports zero-scan indexes from `pg_stat_user_indexes` (informational only, no auto-drop). v0.15.2: every DB check is wrapped in a progress phase; `markdown_body_completeness` runs under a 1s heartbeat timer so 10+ min scans are observable on 50K-page brains. v0.19.1 added `queue_health` (Postgres-only) with two subchecks: stalled-forever active jobs (started_at > 1h) and waiting-depth-per-name > threshold (default 10, override via `GBRAIN_QUEUE_WAITING_THRESHOLD`). Worker-heartbeat subcheck intentionally deferred to follow-up B7 because it needs a `minion_workers` table to produce ground-truth signal. Fix hints point at `gbrain repair-jsonb`, `gbrain sync --force`, `gbrain apply-migrations`, and `gbrain jobs get/cancel <id>`. v0.22.12 (#500): `sync_failures` check shows `[CODE=N, ...]` breakdown for both unacked entries (warn) and acked-historical entries (ok), surfacing systemic failure modes (`SLUG_MISMATCH=2685`) instead of a bare count. v0.26.7 (#612): `rls_event_trigger` check (post-install drift detector for migration v35's auto-RLS event trigger). Lives outside the `// 5. RLS` slice that the structural doctor.test.ts guards anchor on, so the existing test guards stay intact. Healthy `evtenabled` set is `('O','A')` only — `R` is replica-only and would not fire in normal sessions; `D` is disabled. Fix hint is `gbrain apply-migrations --force-retry 35`.
+- `src/core/migrate.ts` — schema-migration runner. Owns the `MIGRATIONS` array (source of truth for schema DDL). v0.14.2 extended the `Migration` interface with `sqlFor?: { postgres?, pglite? }` (engine-specific SQL overrides `sql`) and `transaction?: boolean` (set to false for `CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY`, which Postgres refuses inside a transaction; ignored on PGLite since it has no concurrent writers). Migration v14 (fix wave) uses a handler branching on `engine.kind` to run CONCURRENTLY on Postgres (with a pre-drop of any invalid remnant via `pg_index.indisvalid`) and plain `CREATE INDEX` on PGLite. v15 bumps `minion_jobs.max_stalled` default 1→5 and backfills existing non-terminal rows. v0.22.6.1: migration v24 (`rls_backfill_missing_tables`) uses `sqlFor: { pglite: '' }` to no-op on PGLite — PGLite has no RLS engine and is single-tenant by definition, and the v24 ALTERs target subagent tables that don't exist in pglite-schema.ts. Closes #395 (contributed by @jdcastro2). **v30 (v0.23):** creates `dream_verdicts (file_path TEXT, content_hash TEXT, worth_processing BOOL, reasons JSONB, judged_at TIMESTAMPTZ, PK(file_path, content_hash))`. RLS-enabled when running as a BYPASSRLS role. The synthesize phase reads/writes this table to avoid re-judging on backfill re-runs. **v35 (v0.26.7):** auto-RLS event trigger + one-time backfill. `auto_rls_on_create_table` fires on `ddl_command_end` for `WHEN TAG IN ('CREATE TABLE','CREATE TABLE AS','SELECT INTO')` and runs `ALTER TABLE … ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY` on every new `public.*` table — no FORCE (matches v24/v29/schema.sql posture so non-BYPASSRLS apps can still read their own tables). The same migration backfills RLS on every existing `public.*` base table whose comment doesn't match the doctor regex (`^GBRAIN:RLS_EXEMPT\s+reason=\S.{3,}`). Per-table failure aborts the offending CREATE TABLE (event triggers fire inside the DDL transaction); no EXCEPTION wrap — that would convert loud rollback into silent permissive default. PGLite no-op via `sqlFor.pglite: ''`. Breaking change: operators with intentionally-RLS-off public tables must add the GBRAIN:RLS_EXEMPT comment BEFORE upgrade or the backfill will flip them on.
 - `src/core/progress.ts` — Shared bulk-action progress reporter. Writes to stderr. Modes: `auto` (TTY: `\r`-rewriting; non-TTY: plain lines), `human`, `json` (JSONL), `quiet`. Rate-gated by `minIntervalMs` and `minItems`. `startHeartbeat(reporter, note)` helper for single long queries. `child()` composes phase paths. Singleton SIGINT/SIGTERM coordinator emits `abort` events for every live phase. EPIPE defense on both sync throws and stream `'error'` events. Zero dependencies. Introduced in v0.15.2.
 - `src/core/cli-options.ts` — Global CLI flag parser. `parseGlobalFlags(argv)` returns `{cliOpts, rest}` with `--quiet` / `--progress-json` / `--progress-interval=<ms>` stripped. `getCliOptions()` / `setCliOptions()` expose a module-level singleton so commands reach the resolved flags without parameter threading. `cliOptsToProgressOptions()` maps to reporter options. `childGlobalFlags()` returns the flag suffix to append to `execSync('gbrain ...')` calls in migration orchestrators. `OperationContext.cliOpts` extends shared-op dispatch for MCP callers.
 - `src/core/db-lock.ts` (v0.22.13) — generic `tryAcquireDbLock(engine, lockId, ttlMinutes)` over the existing `gbrain_cycle_locks` table. Parameterized lock id so different scopes can nest cleanly: `gbrain-cycle` for the broad cycle (held by `cycle.ts`) and `gbrain-sync` (`SYNC_LOCK_ID` constant) for `performSync`'s narrower writer window. Same UPSERT-with-TTL semantics as the prior cycle-only helper, just generalized. Survives PgBouncer transaction pooling (unlike session-scoped `pg_try_advisory_lock`); crashed holders auto-release once their TTL expires.
 - `src/core/sync-concurrency.ts` (v0.22.13) — single source of truth for the parallel-sync policy. Exports `autoConcurrency(engine, fileCount, override?)` (PGLite always serial; explicit override clamped to >=1; auto path returns `DEFAULT_PARALLEL_WORKERS=4` when `fileCount > AUTO_CONCURRENCY_FILE_THRESHOLD=100`), `shouldRunParallel(workers, fileCount, explicit)` (Q1: explicit `--workers` bypasses the >50-file floor), and `parseWorkers(s)` (rejects `'0'`, `'-3'`, `'foo'`, `'1.5'`, trailing chars — replaces the prior parseInt-with-no-validation in both `sync.ts` and `import.ts`). Used by `performSync`, `performFullSync`, `runImport`, and the Minion `sync` handler so the three sites can no longer drift.
 - `src/commands/sync.ts` — `gbrain sync` CLI + the `performSync` / `performFullSync` library entrypoints (consumed by the autopilot cycle and the Minion sync handler). v0.22.13 (PR #490): `performSync` wraps its body in a `gbrain-sync` writer lock so two concurrent syncs (manual + autopilot, two terminals, two Conductor workspaces) cannot both write `last_commit` and let the last writer win. Head-drift gate after the import phase re-checks `git rev-parse HEAD`; if HEAD moved (someone ran `git checkout` / `git pull` mid-sync), the bookmark refuses to advance. Vanished files now record a failedFiles entry instead of silent-skip — the silent-skip-then-advance pathology that survived prior hardening passes is dead. Worker engines wrap in try/finally so disconnect always fires (panic-path leak fix). Both PGLite-detection sites use `engine.kind === 'pglite'`. CLI accepts `--workers N` (alias `--concurrency N`), validated via `parseWorkers`. Explicit `--workers` bypasses the auto-path file-count floor; auto path defers to `autoConcurrency()`. Banner moved to stderr.
-- `src/core/cycle.ts` — v0.17 brain maintenance cycle primitive. `runCycle(engine: BrainEngine | null, opts: CycleOpts): Promise<CycleReport>` composes 6 phases in semantically-driven order (lint → backlinks → sync → extract → embed → orphans). Three callers: `gbrain dream` CLI, `gbrain autopilot` daemon's inline path, and the Minions `autopilot-cycle` handler (`src/commands/jobs.ts`). One source of truth for what the brain does overnight. Coordination via `gbrain_cycle_locks` DB table (TTL-based; works through PgBouncer transaction pooling, unlike session-scoped `pg_try_advisory_lock`) + `~/.gbrain/cycle.lock` file lock with PID-liveness for PGLite / engine=null mode. `CycleReport.schema_version: "1"` is the stable agent-consumable shape. `PhaseResult.error: { class, code, message, hint?, docs_url? }` is Stripe-API-tier structured failure info. `yieldBetweenPhases` hook awaited between every phase — Minions handler uses this to renew its job lock and prevent v0.14 stall-death regression. Engine nullable: filesystem phases (lint, backlinks) run without DB; DB phases skip with `status: "skipped", reason: "no_database"`. Lock-skip: read-only phase selections (`--phase orphans`) bypass the cycle lock. v0.22.1 (#403): `CycleOpts.signal?: AbortSignal` propagates the worker's abort signal; `checkAborted()` fires between every phase and throws if the signal is aborted (cooperative — can't interrupt a phase mid-execution). v0.22.1 (#417): `runPhaseSync` returns `pagesAffected` via `SyncPhaseResult`; `runCycle` captures it and threads to `runPhaseExtract` as the 4th arg, enabling incremental extract on the cycle path. v0.22.1 (Codex F2): `runPhaseSync` takes `willRunExtractPhase: boolean` and sets `noExtract: phases.includes('extract')` so `gbrain dream --phase sync` doesn't silently lose extraction. v0.22.5 (#475): new `resolveSourceForDir(engine, brainDir)` helper queries `SELECT id FROM sources WHERE local_path = $1 LIMIT 1`; `runPhaseSync` threads result as `sourceId` to `performSync()` so sync reads the per-source `sources.last_commit` anchor instead of the drift-prone global `config.sync.last_commit` key. Bare try/catch lets pre-v0.18 brains fall through to the global key. Closes the prod hang where every autopilot cycle ran a 30-min full reimport because the global anchor commit had been GC'd from git history.
-- `src/commands/dream.ts` — v0.17 `gbrain dream` CLI. ~80-line thin alias over `runCycle`. brainDir resolution requires explicit `--dir` OR `sync.repo_path` config (no more walk-up-cwd-for-.git footgun). Flags: `--dry-run`, `--json`, `--phase <name>`, `--pull`, `--dir <path>`. Exit code 1 on status=failed (partial/warn not fatal — don't page on warnings).
+- `src/core/cycle.ts` — v0.17 brain maintenance cycle primitive (extended to **8 phases in v0.23**). `runCycle(engine: BrainEngine | null, opts: CycleOpts): Promise<CycleReport>` composes phases in semantically-driven order: **lint → backlinks → sync → synthesize → extract → patterns → embed → orphans**. v0.23's `synthesize` phase runs after sync (cross-references see fresh brain) and before extract (auto-link materializes its writes); `patterns` runs after extract so it reads a fresh graph (codex finding #7 — subagent put_page sets `ctx.remote=true` and skips auto-link/timeline by default; extract is the canonical materialization). Three callers: `gbrain dream` CLI, `gbrain autopilot` daemon's inline path, and the Minions `autopilot-cycle` handler. Coordination via `gbrain_cycle_locks` DB table + `~/.gbrain/cycle.lock` file lock with PID-liveness for PGLite. `CycleReport.schema_version: "1"` is stable; totals additively grew in v0.23 (`transcripts_processed`, `synth_pages_written`, `patterns_written`). `yieldBetweenPhases` runs between phases. **v0.23 added `yieldDuringPhase`** for in-phase keepalive — synthesize/patterns call it during long waits to renew the cycle-lock TTL. Engine nullable; lock-skip on read-only phase selections. v0.22.1 (#403): `CycleOpts.signal?: AbortSignal` propagates the worker's abort signal; `checkAborted()` fires between every phase. v0.22.1 (#417): `runPhaseSync` returns `pagesAffected` via `SyncPhaseResult`; `runCycle` captures it and threads to `runPhaseExtract` as the 4th arg. v0.22.1 (Codex F2): `runPhaseSync` takes `willRunExtractPhase: boolean` and sets `noExtract: phases.includes('extract')` so `gbrain dream --phase sync` doesn't silently lose extraction. v0.22.5 (#475): `resolveSourceForDir(engine, brainDir)` threads `sourceId` to `performSync()` so sync reads the per-source `sources.last_commit` anchor instead of the drift-prone global `config.sync.last_commit` key.
+- `src/core/cycle/synthesize.ts` (v0.23) — Synthesize phase: conversation-transcript-to-brain pipeline. Reads from `dream.synthesize.session_corpus_dir`, runs cheap Haiku verdict (cached in `dream_verdicts`), then fans out one Sonnet subagent per worth-processing transcript with `allowed_slug_prefixes` (sourced from `skills/_brain-filing-rules.json` `dream_synthesize_paths.globs`). Orchestrator collects slugs from `subagent_tool_executions` (NOT `pages.updated_at` — codex finding #2) and reverse-renders DB → markdown via `serializeMarkdown`. Cooldown via `dream.synthesize.last_completion_ts`, written ONLY on success. Idempotency key `dream:synth:<file_path>:<content_hash>`. Auto-commit deferred to v1.1 (codex #5). `--dry-run` runs Haiku, skips Sonnet (codex #8). Subagent never gets fs-write access. **v0.23.2:** `renderPageToMarkdown` (now exported) stamps `dream_generated: true` and `dream_cycle_date` into every reverse-write's frontmatter; `writeSummaryPage` does the same on the dream-cycle summary index. The marker is the explicit identity surface checked by `isDreamOutput` in `transcript-discovery.ts` — replaces the v0.23.1 content-prefix heuristic that could miss real output (`serializeMarkdown` doesn't embed slugs in body) and false-positive on user transcripts citing brain pages. `judgeSignificance` and `JudgeClient` are exported; `judgeSignificance` accepts a `verdictModel` parameter (default `claude-haiku-4-5-20251001`) loaded from `dream.synthesize.verdict_model` via `loadSynthConfig`.
+- `src/core/cycle/patterns.ts` (v0.23) — Patterns phase: cross-session theme detection over reflections within `dream.patterns.lookback_days` (default 30). Names a pattern only when ≥`dream.patterns.min_evidence` (default 3) reflections support it. Single Sonnet subagent; same allow-list path as synthesize. Runs AFTER `extract` so the graph is fresh.
+- `src/core/cycle/transcript-discovery.ts` (v0.23) — Pure filesystem walk for synthesize. `discoverTranscripts(opts)` filters `.txt` files by date range, min_chars, and word-boundary regex `excludePatterns` (Q-3: `medical` matches "medical advice" but NOT "comedical"; power users may pass full regex). `readSingleTranscript(path)` is the `gbrain dream --input <file>` ad-hoc path. **v0.23.2 self-consumption guard:** `DREAM_OUTPUT_MARKER_RE` (anchored at frontmatter open `---\n`, optional BOM + CRLF tolerance, scans first 2000 chars for `dream_generated: true` with case-insensitive value and word boundary on `true`) drives `isDreamOutput(content, bypass=false)`. Both `discoverTranscripts` and `readSingleTranscript` skip matching files and emit a `[dream] skipped <basename>: dream_generated marker` stderr log (no more silent skips). `bypassGuard?: boolean` on `DiscoverOpts` and `readSingleTranscript`'s opts disables the guard for the explicit `--unsafe-bypass-dream-guard` escape hatch only — never auto-applied for `--input`. Replaces v0.23.1's `DREAM_OUTPUT_SLUGS` content-prefix list.
+- `src/commands/dream.ts` — v0.17 `gbrain dream` CLI; ~80-line thin alias over `runCycle`. brainDir resolution requires explicit `--dir` OR `sync.repo_path` config. Flags: `--dry-run`, `--json`, `--phase <name>`, `--pull`, `--dir <path>`. **v0.23 added** `--input <file>` (ad-hoc transcript, implies `--phase synthesize`), `--date YYYY-MM-DD`, `--from <d> --to <d>` (backfill range). Conflict detection: `--input` + `--date` exits 2. ISO date validation. `--dry-run` runs Haiku significance verdict but skips Sonnet synthesis (codex finding #8 — NOT zero LLM calls). Exit code 1 on status=failed. **v0.23.2 added** `--unsafe-bypass-dream-guard` (long-form intentional, plumbed through `runCycle.synthBypassDreamGuard` → `SynthesizePhaseOpts.bypassDreamGuard` → `discoverTranscripts({bypassGuard})` and `readSingleTranscript({bypassGuard})`). Loud stderr warning fires at synthesize-phase entry when set. Never auto-applied for `--input` so any caller can't silently re-trigger the loop bug.
+- `src/commands/friction.ts` + `src/core/friction.ts` (v0.23) — `gbrain friction {log,render,list,summary}` reporter. Append-only JSONL under `$GBRAIN_HOME/friction/<run-id>.jsonl`. Schema is a flat extension of `StructuredAgentError` (D20). Render groups by severity → phase, defaults to `--redact` for md output (strips `$HOME`/`$CWD` to placeholders so reports paste safely in PRs). Run-id resolves from `--run-id` > `$GBRAIN_FRICTION_RUN_ID` > `standalone.jsonl`. Skills the claw-test exercises gain a `_friction-protocol.md` callout so agents know when to log friction.
+- `src/commands/claw-test.ts` + `src/core/claw-test/` (v0.23) — `gbrain claw-test [--scenario <name>] [--live --agent openclaw]`. End-to-end "fresh user" friction harness. Two modes: scripted (CI gate, agent-free) and live (real openclaw subprocess, $1–2 in tokens). Sets `GBRAIN_HOME=<tempdir>` for hermeticity and captures gbrain's `--progress-json` events from each child's stderr to verify expected phases ran (`import.files`, `extract.links_fs`, `doctor.db_checks`). Phases for scripted mode: setup → install_brain (`gbrain init --pglite`) → import (`--no-embed`) → query → extract → verify (`gbrain doctor --json`, asserts `status: 'ok'`) → render. Live mode hands `BRIEF.md` from `test/fixtures/claw-test-scenarios/<name>/` to the agent runner. v1 ships with the OpenClaw runner only (`src/core/claw-test/runners/openclaw.ts`, invokes `openclaw agent --local --agent <name> --message <brief>`); hermes runner deferred to v1.1. Transcript capture (`transcript-capture.ts`) uses `fs.createWriteStream` with `'drain'`-event backpressure — D17 fix for the 256KB-burst child-stall scenario. v0.18 upgrade scenario seeded via `seed-pglite.ts` SQL replay.
+- `skills/_friction-protocol.md` (v0.23) — shared cross-cutting convention skill (like `_brain-filing-rules.md`). Tells agents when to call `gbrain friction log` and how to choose a severity. Routes to friction CLI from any skill the claw-test exercises.
 - `scripts/check-progress-to-stdout.sh` — CI guard against regressing to `\r`-on-stdout progress. Wired into `bun run test` via `scripts/check-progress-to-stdout.sh && bun test` in package.json.
 - `docs/progress-events.md` — Canonical JSON event schema reference. Stable from v0.15.2, additive only.
 - `src/core/markdown.ts` — Frontmatter parsing + body splitter. `splitBody` requires an explicit timeline sentinel (`<!-- timeline -->`, `--- timeline ---`, or `---` immediately before `## Timeline`/`## History`). Plain `---` in body text is a markdown horizontal rule, not a separator. `inferType` auto-types `/wiki/analysis/` → analysis, `/wiki/guides/` → guide, `/wiki/hardware/` → hardware, `/wiki/architecture/` → architecture, `/writing/` → writing (plus the existing people/companies/deals/etc heuristics).
 - `scripts/check-jsonb-pattern.sh` — CI grep guard. Fails the build if anyone reintroduces (a) the `${JSON.stringify(x)}::jsonb` interpolation pattern (postgres.js v3 double-encodes it), or (b) `max_stalled INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 1` in any schema source file (v0.15.1 #219 regression guard — must be DEFAULT 5 to preserve SIGKILL-rescue). Wired into `bun test`.
+- `docker-compose.ci.yml` + `scripts/ci-local.sh` (v0.23.1) — Local CI gate. `bun run ci:local` spins up `pgvector/pgvector:pg16` + `oven/bun:1` with named volumes (`gbrain-ci-pg-data`, `gbrain-ci-node-modules`, `gbrain-ci-bun-cache`), runs gitleaks on host, smoke-tests `scripts/run-e2e.sh` argv handling, runs unit tests with `DATABASE_URL` unset (matches GH Actions structure), then runs all 29 E2E files sequentially. `--diff` swaps in the diff-aware selector; `--no-pull` skips upstream pulls; `--clean` nukes named volumes. Postgres host port defaults to 5434 (avoids 5432 manual `gbrain-test-pg` and 5433 sibling-project conflict); override with `GBRAIN_CI_PG_PORT=NNNN`. Stronger gate than current PR CI's 2-file Tier 1 set — closes the "push-and-wait" feedback loop pre-push.
+- `scripts/select-e2e.ts` + `scripts/e2e-test-map.ts` (v0.23.1) — Diff-aware E2E test selector. Reads three git sources (committed `origin/master...HEAD`, working-tree `HEAD`, and `git ls-files --others --exclude-standard` for untracked, NOT-gitignored files), classifies as EMPTY / DOC_ONLY / SRC. Fail-closed by design: EMPTY → all 29 files (clean branch shouldn't run nothing), DOC_ONLY (every path matches the README/CLAUDE/AGENTS/CHANGELOG/TODOS allowlist) → empty stdout, SRC → escape-hatch paths (schema, package.json, skills/) trigger all; otherwise the hand-tuned `E2E_TEST_MAP` glob → tests narrows; an unmapped src/ change still emits ALL files, never silently nothing. Pure-function exports (`selectTests`, `classify`, `matchGlob`) so it's trivial to test and fork. `bun run ci:select-e2e` prints the current selection on stdout, pipe-friendly. `test/select-e2e.test.ts` covers all 4 branches plus 3 codex regression guards (skills/, untracked files, unmapped src/) — 24 cases.
+- `scripts/run-e2e.sh` (v0.23.1 update) — Sequential E2E runner. Now accepts an optional argv-driven file list (used by `ci:local:diff` to pipe in selector output) and a `--dry-run-list` flag that prints the resolved file list and exits (used by `ci-local.sh`'s startup smoke-test). Falls back to `test/e2e/*.test.ts` when invoked with no args.
 - `scripts/llms-config.ts` + `scripts/build-llms.ts` — Generator for `llms.txt` (llmstxt.org-spec web index) + `llms-full.txt` (inlined single-fetch bundle). Curated config drives both. Run `bun run build:llms` after adding a new doc. `LLMS_REPO_BASE` env var lets forks regenerate with their own URL base. `FULL_SIZE_BUDGET` (600KB) caps the inline bundle; generator WARNs if exceeded. Committed output is not analogous to `schema-embedded.ts` (no runtime consumer); we commit for GitHub browsing and fork-safe fetching.
 - `AGENTS.md` — Local-clone entry point for non-Claude agents (Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, Aider). Mirrors `CLAUDE.md` intent via relative links. Claude Code keeps using `CLAUDE.md`.
 - `docs/UPGRADING_DOWNSTREAM_AGENTS.md` — Patches for downstream agent skill forks to apply when upgrading. Each release appends a new section. v0.10.3 includes diffs for brain-ops, meeting-ingestion, signal-detector, enrich.

+- `src/core/destructive-guard.ts` (v0.26.5) — three-layer protection against accidental data loss in gbrain. `assessDestructiveImpact(engine, sourceId)` counts pages/chunks/embeddings/files for a source. `checkDestructiveConfirmation(impact, opts)` is the fail-closed gate (`--confirm-destructive` required when data is present; `--yes` alone is rejected). `softDeleteSource` / `restoreSource` / `listArchivedSources` / `purgeExpiredSources` drive the source-level archive lifecycle via the column shape introduced in migration v34 (`sources.archived BOOLEAN`, `archived_at TIMESTAMPTZ`, `archive_expires_at TIMESTAMPTZ`). v0.26.5 added the page-level analog through `BrainEngine.softDeletePage` / `restorePage` / `purgeDeletedPages` plus `pages.deleted_at TIMESTAMPTZ` and a partial purge index. The MCP `delete_page` op rewires to `softDeletePage`; new ops `restore_page` (`scope: write`) and `purge_deleted_pages` (`scope: admin`, `localOnly: true`) round out the surface. Search visibility (`buildVisibilityClause` in `src/core/search/sql-ranking.ts`) hides soft-deleted pages and archived sources from `searchKeyword` / `searchKeywordChunks` / `searchVector` in both engines. The autopilot cycle's new 9th `purge` phase calls `purgeExpiredSources` + `engine.purgeDeletedPages(72)` so the 72h TTL is real, not honor-system.

+- `gbrain pages purge-deleted [--older-than HOURS|Nd] [--dry-run] [--json]` — operator escape hatch for page-level soft-delete cleanup. Mirror of `gbrain sources purge`. The autopilot cycle's new `purge` phase calls the same library function automatically every run.
+- MCP `delete_page` op semantically shifts from hard-delete to soft-delete. New ops: `restore_page` (`scope: write`), `purge_deleted_pages` (`scope: admin`, `localOnly: true`).
+- `get_page` and `list_pages` extended with `include_deleted: boolean` (default false).
+- New autopilot cycle phase `purge` (9th, runs after `orphans`). `gbrain dream --phase purge` runs only the purge sweep.
+- Index strategy note: the partial index `pages_deleted_at_purge_idx ON pages (deleted_at) WHERE deleted_at IS NOT NULL` supports the autopilot purge query. Search filters (`WHERE deleted_at IS NULL`) do NOT need their own index — soft-deleted cardinality stays low and Postgres won't use the partial index for the negative predicate. Don't add a regular `(deleted_at)` index without measuring.
+- Schema migration v34 (`destructive_guard_columns`) adds `pages.deleted_at` + the partial purge index; promotes `archived` from `sources.config` JSONB to real columns; backfills any pre-v0.26.5 JSONB shape.

+Key commands added in v0.25.0:
+- `gbrain eval export [--since DUR] [--limit N] [--tool query|search]` — stream captured `eval_candidates` rows as NDJSON to stdout. Every line starts with `"schema_version": 1` per the stable contract in `docs/eval-capture.md`. EPIPE-safe, progress heartbeats on stderr, deterministic ordering. Primary consumer is the sibling `gbrain-evals` repo for BrainBench-Real replay.
+- `gbrain eval prune --older-than DUR [--dry-run]` — explicit retention cleanup for `eval_candidates`. Requires `--older-than` (never deletes without a window). Duration strings: 30d, 7d, 1h, 90m, 3600s.
+- `gbrain eval replay --against FILE.ndjson [--limit N] [--top-regressions K] [--json] [--verbose]` — contributor-facing dev loop. Reads a captured NDJSON snapshot, re-runs each `query` / `search` op against the current brain, computes mean set-Jaccard@k between captured + current `retrieved_slugs`, top-1 stability rate, and latency Δ. JSON mode (`schema_version: 1`) for CI gating; human mode prints a regression table sorted worst-first. Closes the gap between "data captured" and "data used to gate a PR." See `docs/eval-bench.md` for the workflow.
+- `gbrain eval cross-modal --task "..." --output <path> [--cycles N] [--slot-a-model ID] [--slot-b-model ID] [--slot-c-model ID] [--receipt-dir DIR] [--json]` (v0.27.x) — multi-model quality gate. Three different-provider frontier models score the OUTPUT against the TASK on 5 documented dimensions. Pass criterion: every dim mean >=7 AND no model scored any dim <5. Exit codes: 0 PASS, 1 FAIL, 2 INCONCLUSIVE (<2/3 models returned parseable scores). Default cycles=3 in TTY, **cycles=1 in non-TTY** (limits accidental scripted bulk spend). Default slots: `openai:gpt-4o` / `anthropic:claude-opus-4-7` / `google:gemini-1.5-pro` — refresh alongside model-family bumps. Receipts land at `~/.gbrain/.gbrain/eval-receipts/<slug>-<sha8-of-output>.json` (gbrainPath honors GBRAIN_HOME). Bypasses `connectEngine()` via the cli.ts no-DB branch — runs cleanly before `gbrain init`. Reuses `src/core/ai/gateway.ts:chat()` for config/auth (no parallel provider stack). Cost-estimate prints to stderr before each cycle (T11=B partial cost guardrail; full `--budget-usd N` is a follow-up TODO).
+- `gbrain doctor` gains an `eval_capture` check: reads `eval_capture_failures` for the last 24h, groups by reason, warns when non-zero. Cross-process visibility (doctor runs in a separate process from MCP). Pre-v31 brains get `Skipped (table unavailable)` — non-fatal.
+- Config addition: `eval: { capture?: boolean, scrub_pii?: boolean }` in `~/.gbrain/config.json`. **File-plane only** — `gbrain config set` writes the DB plane and does NOT control capture.

 ## Testing
 
+### Test command tiers (v0.26.4 — parallel fast loop)
+
+Five tiers of test commands, each with a clear scope:
+
+| Command | What it runs | Wallclock | When to use |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `bun run test` | Parallel unit-test fast loop. 8-shard fan-out via `scripts/run-unit-parallel.sh`, then a serial pass over `*.serial.test.ts`. Excludes `*.slow.test.ts` and `test/e2e/*`. No pre-checks, no typecheck. | ~85s on a Mac dev box (3650+ tests) | Inner edit loop. Default. |
+| `bun run verify` | CI's authoritative pre-test gate set: `check:privacy && check:jsonb && check:progress && check:wasm && bun run typecheck`. The 4 checks `.github/workflows/test.yml` runs on shard 1 + typecheck. Single source of truth — CI literally calls `bun run verify`. | ~12s (wasm-compile dominates) | Before pushing; before `/ship`. |
+| `bun run test:full` | `verify && bun run test && bun run test:slow && [smart e2e]`. The local equivalent of "everything CI runs." Smart e2e: runs e2e only when `DATABASE_URL` is set; else loud skip notice to stderr. | ~3-5min depending on slow + e2e | Pre-merge sanity, before opening a PR. |
+| `bun run test:slow` | Just the `*.slow.test.ts` set (intentional cold-path correctness checks). | seconds-to-minutes | When touching slow-path code. |
+| `bun run test:serial` | Just the `*.serial.test.ts` set (cross-file-contention quarantine; runs at `--max-concurrency=1`). | ~1s per quarantined file | Debugging a specific quarantined file. |
+| `bun run test:e2e` | Real Postgres E2E. Requires Docker + `DATABASE_URL`. Sequential (template-DB parallelization is a v0.27+ TODO). | ~5-10min | Pre-ship; nightly. |
+| `bun run check:all` | All 7 historical pre-checks (privacy + jsonb + progress + no-legacy-getconnection + trailing-newline + wasm + exports-count). Superset of `verify`. | ~10s | Local-only sweep. The 4 not in `verify` are nice-to-haves. |
+
+### CI vs local: intentionally divergent file sets
+
+- **CI matrix** (`.github/workflows/test.yml`) runs `scripts/test-shard.sh` 4-way, which uses FNV-1a hash bucketing and INCLUDES `*.slow.test.ts`. 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
+
+When `bun run test` finds any failure, the wrapper:
+
+1. Writes failure blocks (each prefixed with `--- shard N: <test name> ---`) to `.context/test-failures.log` (workspace-local, gitignored). On systems without a writable `.context/`, falls back to `/tmp/gbrain-test-failures.log`.
+2. Prints a loud stderr banner with the absolute log path, plus the last 30 lines of the failure log inlined. Banner survives `| head` / `| tail` / agent-side log truncation.
+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.
+
+### File taxonomy
+
+- `*.test.ts` → fast loop (parallel 8-shard fan-out).
+- `*.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; uses `--max-concurrency=1`. Quarantine for tests that share file-wide state and race when run alongside other files in the same `bun test` process. Currently: `test/brain-registry.serial.test.ts`, `test/reconcile-links.serial.test.ts`, `test/core/cycle.serial.test.ts`, `test/embed.serial.test.ts` (the latter two added in v0.26.7 — they use `mock.module(...)` which leaks across files in the shard process). **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.
+
+The intra-file parallelism project (turn `bun test` into `bun test --concurrent` after sweeping shared-state contention sites) is sliced across v0.26.7 (foundation), v0.26.8 (env-mutation sweep), and v0.26.9 (PGLite sweep + codemod + measurement). v0.26.4 ships file-level parallelism only.
+
+### Test-isolation lint and helpers (v0.26.7)
+
+The cross-file flake class is enforced statically by `scripts/check-test-isolation.sh`, wired into `bun run verify` and `bun run check:all`. Rules (non-serial unit files only; `*.serial.test.ts` and `test/e2e/*` are skipped):
+
+| Rule | What it bans | Fix |
+|---|---|---|
+| **R1** | `process.env.X = ...`, bracket assignment, `delete process.env.X`, `Object.assign(process.env, ...)`, `Reflect.set(process.env, ...)` | Use `withEnv()` from `test/helpers/with-env.ts`, OR rename file to `*.serial.test.ts` |
+| **R2** | `mock.module(...)` anywhere in the file | Rename file to `*.serial.test.ts` (no DI on production code for testability) |
+| **R3** | `new PGLiteEngine(` outside ~50 lines after a `beforeAll(` line | Use the canonical block (below) inside `beforeAll(` |
+| **R4** | Files creating `new PGLiteEngine(` without `engine.disconnect(` inside an `afterAll(` block | Add `afterAll(() => engine.disconnect())` |
+
+Files that violated these rules at the v0.26.7 baseline are listed in `scripts/check-test-isolation.allowlist`. **The allow-list MUST shrink over time** — never add new entries. v0.26.8 (env sweep) and v0.26.9 (PGLite sweep) remove entries as files get fixed.
+
+#### Canonical PGLite block (R3 + R4 compliant)
+
+Every test file that needs a PGLite engine should use this exact pattern:
+
+```ts
+import { PGLiteEngine } from '../src/core/pglite-engine.ts';
+import { resetPgliteState } from './helpers/reset-pglite.ts';
+
+let engine: PGLiteEngine;
+
+beforeAll(async () => {
+  engine = new PGLiteEngine();
+  await engine.connect({});
+  await engine.initSchema();
+});
+
+afterAll(async () => {
+  await engine.disconnect();
+});
+
+beforeEach(async () => {
+  await resetPgliteState(engine);
+});
+```
+
+Why this exact shape: `beforeAll` creates a single engine per file (PGLite WASM cold-start + initSchema is ~20s); `beforeEach` truncates user data via `resetPgliteState` ("two orders of magnitude faster" than fresh-engine-per-test); `afterAll` disconnects so the engine doesn't leak across file boundaries within a shard process.
+
+#### `withEnv` pattern (R1 fix)
+
+```ts
+import { withEnv } from './helpers/with-env.ts';
+
+test('reads OPENAI_API_KEY', async () => {
+  await withEnv({ OPENAI_API_KEY: 'sk-test' }, async () => {
+    expect(loadConfig().openai_key).toBe('sk-test');
+  });
+});
+
+// Delete a var (override is undefined):
+await withEnv({ GBRAIN_HOME: undefined }, fn);
+
+// Multiple keys:
+await withEnv({ A: '1', B: '2', C: undefined }, fn);
+```
+
+`withEnv` saves the prior value of every key it touches and restores via try/finally — including when the callback throws. **It is cross-test safe but NOT intra-file concurrent-safe.** `process.env` is process-global; two `test.concurrent()` calls in the same file both touching the same key will race. Files using `withEnv` stay outside the future `test.concurrent()` codemod's eligibility filter.
+
+#### When to quarantine instead of fix
+
+Rename to `*.serial.test.ts` when:
+- The file uses `mock.module(...)` (R2 — there's no clean fix without changing production code).
+- The file is genuinely env-coupled (e.g. `gbrain-home-isolation.test.ts`, `claw-test-cli.test.ts`) — module-load env readers + ESM caching defeat dynamic-import-after-env tricks.
+- The file's tests intentionally share state across `it()` boundaries.
+
+Quarantine count cap: 10 (informational). Beyond that, push back on the design.
+

+## Capturing test output (NEVER pipe through `tail` / `head`)
+
+**Iron rule:** when running `bun test`, `bun run test:e2e`, `bun run typecheck`,
+or any other test/check command, redirect to a file FIRST, then `tail` the file
+separately:
+
+```bash
+# RIGHT — full output preserved, real exit code visible
+bun test > /tmp/ship_units.txt 2>&1
+echo "EXIT=$?"
+tail -50 /tmp/ship_units.txt
+grep -E '(fail\)|✗|error:' /tmp/ship_units.txt | head -30
+```
+
+```bash
+# WRONG — exit code is `tail`'s (always 0), failures truncated, ship gates fail open
+bun test 2>&1 | tail -10
+```
+
+The pipe form silently breaks /ship Step T1 (test failure ownership triage) and
+the test verification gate (Step 16) because:
+- `$?` after a pipe is the LAST command's exit code (`tail` → 0), not bun's
+- bun prints failure details before the summary line, so `tail -N` drops them
+- Step T1 needs the full failure list to classify in-branch vs pre-existing
+
+This bit us during v0.26.2 ship: `bun test 2>&1 | tail -10` reported "3911 pass / 23 fail"
+but no failure details survived, forcing a 23-minute re-run to triage.
+
+Apply the same pattern to any long-running command whose exit code matters:
+`bun run typecheck`, `bun run ci:local`, migration runs, eval suites, etc.
+For background tasks (`run_in_background: true`), the harness captures the exit
+file separately — use it via the bg task's `<id>.exit` file, not the streamed
+output.

+Before shipping (/ship) or reviewing (/review), always run the full test suite.
+Two equivalent paths:
+
+**Path A — local CI gate (recommended, v0.23.1+):**
+- `bun run ci:local` runs the entire stack inside Docker: gitleaks (host), unit
+  tests with `DATABASE_URL` unset, and all 29 E2E files sequentially against a
+  fresh pgvector container. Stronger than PR CI's 2-file Tier 1 set; closer to
+  what nightly Tier 1 catches. Spins up + tears down postgres automatically via
+  `docker-compose.ci.yml`. Override the host port with
+  `GBRAIN_CI_PG_PORT=5435 bun run ci:local` if 5434 collides.
+- `bun run ci:local:diff` runs only the E2E files matched by the diff selector
+  (`scripts/select-e2e.ts`), falling back to all 29 on unmapped src/ paths or
+  schema/skills/package.json changes. Fast iteration during a focused branch.
+
+**Path B — manual lifecycle (still supported):**
 - `bun test` — unit tests (no database required)
 - Follow the "E2E test DB lifecycle" steps above to spin up the test DB,
   run `bun run test:e2e`, then tear it down.
 
 Both must pass. Do not ship with failing E2E tests. Do not skip E2E tests.
 
+**Always run typecheck before pushing.** `bun test` (the bun runner)
+skips TypeScript type checking — it only enforces runtime behavior.
+Three ways to actually gate on types:
+
+1. `bun run test` (npm script in `package.json`) — includes `bun run typecheck`
+   plus the four shell pre-checks (`check-jsonb-pattern.sh`,
+   `check-progress-to-stdout.sh`, `check-trailing-newline.sh`,
+   `check-wasm-embedded.sh`) before the runner. Use this mid-branch.
+2. `bun run typecheck` — `tsc --noEmit` standalone. Fast (~5s on this repo).
+3. `bun run ci:local` — the full local CI gate from Path A.
+
+The trap is: writing a new test, running `bun test test/foo.test.ts`,
+seeing it pass, pushing — and CI's separate typecheck stage rejects an
+invalid type literal that the runner accepted. Caught one of these
+shipping the v0.23.2 round-trip E2E (`type: 'reflection'` is not a
+member of `PageType`). Run `bun run typecheck` once before push, even
+when only test files changed.

+## CONTRIBUTOR_MODE — turn on the dev loop
+
+gbrain captures retrieval traffic so you can replay real queries against
+your code changes before merging. **This is off by default** (production
+users get a quiet brain, no surprise data accumulation). Contributors turn
+it on with one shell rc line:
+
+```bash
+# In ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc:
+export GBRAIN_CONTRIBUTOR_MODE=1
+```
+
+That's it. Every `query` / `search` you (or agents pointed at your dev
+brain) run from that shell now writes a row to `eval_candidates`, and the
+[replay tool](#running-real-world-eval-benchmarks-touching-retrieval-code)
+has data to work against.
+
+What CONTRIBUTOR_MODE actually does:
+
+- Turns on `query`/`search` capture into the local `eval_candidates` table.
+  Without it the gate is closed and capture is a no-op.
+- That's all. PII scrubbing, retention, and replay are independent.
+
+Resolution order (most explicit wins):
+
+1. `eval.capture: true` in `~/.gbrain/config.json` → on
+2. `eval.capture: false` in `~/.gbrain/config.json` → off
+3. `GBRAIN_CONTRIBUTOR_MODE=1` → on
+4. otherwise → off
+
+Quick check that capture is actually running:
+
+```bash
+gbrain query "anything" >/dev/null
+psql $DATABASE_URL -c 'SELECT count(*) FROM eval_candidates'
+# (or `gbrain doctor` — surfaces silent capture failures cross-process)
+```
+
+To disable capture even with the env var set, write
+`{"eval": {"capture": false}}` to `~/.gbrain/config.json` — explicit config
+beats the env var both directions.
+
+## Running real-world eval benchmarks (touching retrieval code)
+
+If your PR touches retrieval — search ranking, RRF fusion, embeddings,
+intent classification, query expansion, source boost, or the `query` /
+`search` op handlers — run `gbrain eval replay` against a snapshot of
+real traffic before merging. Requires `CONTRIBUTOR_MODE` (above) so you
+have captured rows to replay against.
+
+Quick loop:
+
+```bash
+gbrain eval export --since 7d > baseline.ndjson    # snapshot before your change
+# ... make your change ...
+gbrain eval replay --against baseline.ndjson       # diff retrieval, get Jaccard@k
+```
+
+Three numbers come back: mean Jaccard@k between captured and current slug
+sets, top-1 stability, and mean latency Δ. The replay tool flags the worst
+regressions so you can eyeball whether the change is hurting real queries.
+
+Trigger paths (rerun if your diff touches any of these):
+
+- `src/core/search/hybrid.ts`
+- `src/core/search/source-boost.ts`, `sql-ranking.ts`
+- `src/core/search/intent.ts`, `expansion.ts`, `dedup.ts`
+- `src/core/embedding.ts`
+- `src/core/operations.ts` (query / search handlers)
+- `src/core/postgres-engine.ts` / `pglite-engine.ts` (searchKeyword /
+  searchVector SQL)
+
+See [`docs/eval-bench.md`](./docs/eval-bench.md) for the full guide
+including CI integration, hand-crafted NDJSON corpora (so a fresh checkout
+without captured data can still replay), and cost considerations. The
+NDJSON wire format is documented in
+[`docs/eval-capture.md`](./docs/eval-capture.md).

The agent reads the skill and executes it. Skills can also call deterministic TypeScript code bundled in GBrain (search, import, embed, sync) for the parts that shouldn't be left to LLM judgment.

 # TODOS
 
+## cross-modal-eval (v0.27.x follow-ups from PR #674 plan)
+
+### `--budget-usd` hard cap + per-call cost telemetry (T11=B follow-up)
+**Priority:** P2
+
+**What:** `gbrain eval cross-modal` ships in v0.27.x with a partial cost guardrail: default `--cycles 1` in non-TTY plus a stderr cost-estimate printed before each run. The full `--budget-usd N` hard cap (refuse to start the next cycle if estimated spend would exceed) and per-call actual-cost telemetry written into the receipt are intentionally deferred.
+
+**Why:** Codex pushback on the original P2=B "defer everything" decision was right — even with `>=2/3` success required for a verdict (Q3=A), 3 cycles × 3 calls = 9 frontier calls per run, repeated across N skills if anyone scripts a bulk audit. The TTY/non-TTY cycle default catches the worst case; the hard cap catches the next class of mistakes.
+
+**Pros:** Deterministic spend ceiling. Real per-call cost in the receipt drives a feedback loop that lets us refine the price-table constant in `src/core/cross-modal-eval/runner.ts:estimateCost`. Future bulk-audit integrations get a safety net by default.
+**Cons:** ~80 lines of pricing-table + parsing + threading. Pricing values drift; the file becomes a small maintenance burden between model-family bumps.
+**Context:** Pricing table lives at `src/core/cross-modal-eval/runner.ts:estimateCost`. Once we have real telemetry from a few weeks of usage, we can switch the table to "last observed" instead of "list price" and get more accurate caps. v0.27.x candidate.
+**Depends on:** Nothing.
+
+### Subagent integration (recovers cross-process rate-leases — T4 deferred)
+**Priority:** P2
+
+**What:** Wire `gbrain eval cross-modal` to be invokable as a `gbrain agent run` child job. Today the CLI runs synchronously and bypasses `src/core/minions/rate-leases.ts` because the lease helper requires a `minion_jobs.id` that the CLI path doesn't have (T4=A in plans/radiant-napping-lerdorf.md).
+
+**Why:** Cross-process concurrency cap. A user running `gbrain eval cross-modal` in one terminal alongside `gbrain agent run` in another can hit Anthropic 429s due to combined load. As a minion job, the eval gets the rate-lease behavior for free, plus stagger / quiet-hours / retry surface from the existing Minions queue.
+
+**Pros:** No new helper API; reuses what's already there. Closes the cross-process gap that today's `Promise.allSettled` design intentionally leaves open.
+**Cons:** Requires a job handler registration + receipt-path threading through job context. Probably ~150 lines plus tests. Behavior parity (verdict / receipt shape) needs to be pinned with a parametrized test.
+**Context:** Pattern is the same as `src/core/minions/handlers/subagent.ts`. v0.27.x candidate.
+**Depends on:** Nothing.
+
+### Skill adoption telemetry (revisit T7=C with data)
+**Priority:** P3
+
+**What:** Track how many skills land cross-modal eval receipts. If adoption stalls at, say, <30% of skills after 30 days, consider flipping the 11th item from `required:false` (T7=C, current) to `required:true` (T7=A) in v0.28.x.
+
+**Why:** T7=C ships the gate as informational so existing audits don't regress. The forcing function is documentation alone. We don't yet know if that's enough.
+
+**Pros:** Data-driven decision instead of guessing. Lightweight: count receipt files in `gbrainPath('eval-receipts')` against the count of skills under `skills/*/SKILL.md`.
+**Cons:** "Adoption stalled" is a judgment call without a baseline. Could become a debate.
+**Context:** New check in `gbrain doctor` would surface the count. v0.28.x candidate.
+**Depends on:** None.
+
+### `docs/cross-modal-eval.md` user guide
+**Priority:** P3
+
+**What:** Add a user-facing guide. Cover the gateway-config flow, receipt forensics, the `<slug>-<sha8>.json` filename convention, default models + how to override them, the relationship to `skills/cross-modal-review/SKILL.md`, and worked examples on a real skill.
+
+**Why:** SKILL.md teaches the workflow but lives under `skills/skillify/`. CLAUDE.md "Key files" entries are agent-facing, not human-facing. A `docs/cross-modal-eval.md` is the natural home for "I'm a user, how do I use this command?" answers.
+
+**Pros:** Discoverable from CLAUDE.md "Key files" reference. Mirrors `docs/eval-bench.md` precedent.
+**Cons:** Doc-write task; ~250 lines of prose.
+**Context:** v0.27.x candidate.
+**Depends on:** None.
+
+## /health endpoint hardening (v0.28.1 follow-up)
+
+### Cancel `engine.getStats()` when /health times out
+**Priority:** P2
+
+**What:** `probeHealth()` in `src/commands/serve-http.ts` races `engine.getStats()` against a 3s timeout. When the timeout wins, the original `getStats()` keeps running on a saturated pool. Under sustained probe traffic with a slow DB, timed-out probes pile up expensive `count(*)` queries that turn a partial slowdown into a total outage.
+
+**Why:** Both adversarial reviewers (Claude + Codex) flagged this independently during the v0.28.1 ship. Deferred because cancellation requires `AbortController` plumbing through `BrainEngine.getStats()` which doesn't exist yet — wider blast radius than v0.28.1's zombie-reaping scope justified.
+
+**Pros:** Closes the self-DoS path. /health returning 503 stops contributing to pool saturation.
+**Cons:** Touches the BrainEngine interface (PostgresEngine + PGLiteEngine implementations). Needs postgres.js or PgBouncer-level query cancellation. Wider blast radius.
+**Context:** Drop-in replacement for `Promise.race([getStats(), timeout])` is `getStats({ signal })` consumed via AbortController. Reviewer findings: see PR #637 (v0.28.1) adversarial review section.
+**Depends on:** AbortController plumbing in BrainEngine interface.
+
+### Replace `/health` with a lighter liveness probe
+**Priority:** P3
+
+**What:** `engine.getStats()` does `count(*) FROM pages, content_chunks, links, tags, timeline_entries` plus `GROUP BY type`. On a large but otherwise healthy brain, this can normally exceed 3s and cause false-positive 503s + orchestrator restart loops.
+
+**Why:** Codex flagged that the new 3s timeout is aggressive for the cost of the probe. Pre-existing behavior (the /health endpoint was already doing full stats in v0.27 with no timeout). Worth splitting probe purpose: `/health` for liveness (`SELECT 1`), `/stats` for the full counts.
+
+**Pros:** Liveness probe stays under 100ms even on saturated pools. Operators get a separate `/stats` for the count breakdown when they actually want it.
+**Cons:** Behavior change for orchestrator setups that scrape /health as both liveness AND count source.
+**Context:** PR #637 (v0.28.1) adversarial review. Pair with the AbortController follow-up above.
+## Remote-source MCP follow-ups (v0.28.2)
+
+### Token rotation: `gbrain auth rotate <name>` + `rotate_token` MCP op
+**Priority:** P2
+
+**What:** Atomic rotate for legacy + OAuth tokens. Issue a new token in the same TX as the revocation of the old, no overlap window. Refresh-token rotation already exists for OAuth; this is the unified user-facing surface (CLI + MCP).
+
+**Why:** Today rotation is `revoke + create`, with a window where neither token works. For long-lived bearer keys handed to agents, that's a reload outage every time the key gets rotated.
+
+**Pros:** Single command does the right thing. Atomic cutover. Operators stop scripting around the gap.
+**Cons:** Needs careful testing of the legacy `access_tokens` UPDATE path (returns single-use new token before the row mutates) plus an MCP op that grants a new token bound to the original client_id without requiring a new authorize round trip.
+**Context:** Item 4 from the gstack /setup-gbrain v1.28.1.0 enhancement request. v0.28.x candidate.
+**Depends on:** Nothing.
+
+### Migration introspection in `get_health`
+**Priority:** P3
+
+**What:** Extend `BrainEngine.getHealth()` return shape with `migrations: { pending: [...], wedged: [...] }`. `gbrain doctor` already shows this; expose it via the MCP op so remote agents can detect partial-migration state without invoking `doctor` separately.
+
+**Why:** Closes a remote-diagnostic gap. gstack /setup-gbrain Path 4 hit a wedged-migration brain mid-session; the only readback was SSH + `gbrain doctor`. With this, the same diagnostic flows through MCP.
+
+**Pros:** Pure additive change to the `get_health` op shape. No new op surface. Consumers ignore the new field if they don't care.
+**Cons:** Wedged detection logic lives in `gbrain doctor`'s code today; need to extract or duplicate. Care needed not to leak migration internals to non-admin scopes (current op is admin-only — fine).
+**Context:** Item 5 from the gstack /setup-gbrain v1.28.1.0 enhancement request.
+**Depends on:** Nothing.
+
+### Accept-header friendliness on `/mcp`
+**Priority:** P3
+
+**What:** MCP SDK rejects requests missing `text/event-stream` in the Accept header with a generic 406 Not Acceptable. Pre-check the header at the express middleware layer and return a 400 with a descriptive hint pointing at the spec.
+
+**Why:** Other MCP clients (curl scripts, custom integrations) hit the SDK's 406 and get no diagnostic. gstack's verify-helper sets both headers correctly so the headline path works.
+
+**Pros:** Operator UX improvement. Faster debugging when clients fail discovery.
+**Cons:** Tight coupling to the SDK behavior — if it later loosens, the pre-check becomes redundant.
+**Context:** Item 6 from the gstack /setup-gbrain v1.28.1.0 enhancement request.
+**Depends on:** Nothing.
+
+### `gbrain sources rebase-clone <id>`
+**Priority:** P3
+
+**What:** Recover from `url-drift` (config.remote_url updated but the on-disk clone still points at the old origin). Currently `sync` refuses with a structured error pointing at this command — but the command itself doesn't exist yet. Implement: prompt for confirmation (rm-rf the clone is destructive), then re-clone via the same temp-dir + rename atomicity contract as `sources add --url`.
+
+**Why:** Closes the loop on the URL-drift code path the v0.28.2 sync added. Without it, operators have to `sources remove --confirm-destructive` + `sources add --url` (loses page count, history).
+
+**Pros:** Cleaner UX for URL changes. Preserves the source row + history.
+**Cons:** Destructive on-disk; needs `--confirm-destructive` gate. Edge case: what if sync is mid-run when rebase fires? The existing sync-lock guards this, but worth pinning in tests.
+**Context:** v0.28.2 plan filed this explicitly as a follow-up.
+**Depends on:** Nothing.
+
+### `--filter=blob:none` partial-clone option for federated sources
+**Priority:** P3
+
+**What:** v0.28.2 defaults `gbrain sources add --url` to `--depth=1` (no history). For users who want commit-aware features later (page-state-at-commit-X, blame, who-edited-what), expose `--filter=blob:none` as an opt-in: keeps full graph metadata, lazy-fetches blobs.
+
+**Why:** `--depth=1` is a one-way door — once cloned, you can't reconstruct history without re-cloning the whole repo. Partial clones preserve history while staying small.
+
+**Pros:** Forward-compat for commit-aware brain features. Negligible cost on first clone for typical brain repos. Better than the alternative (full clones for everyone).
+**Cons:** First-clone latency is higher on long-history repos. Adds one more flag to the `add` surface.
+**Context:** Eng review A5 — the boring choice for v0.28.2 was `--depth=1`. This is the unboring follow-up.
+**Depends on:** Nothing.
+
+### DNS rebinding defense for `parseRemoteUrl`
+**Priority:** P3
+
+**What:** `isInternalUrl` (`src/core/url-safety.ts`) does lexical/string-based classification only — no DNS resolution. An attacker who controls a public hostname's A/AAAA records can resolve to internal IPs (`127.0.0.1`, `169.254.169.254`, RFC 1918) and bypass the SSRF gate. The gate catches direct IP literals + metadata hostnames; it doesn't catch `https://attacker-controlled.example/repo.git` where DNS points internal.
+
+**Why:** Defense in depth. The current gate is sufficient for naive abuse (typing `192.168.1.1` directly), but a deliberate attacker with DNS control can bypass it. Adding async DNS resolution + revalidation closes the hole.
+
+**Pros:** Closes the cleanest remaining SSRF bypass. Mirrors the redirect-revalidation pattern at `integrations.ts:289`. Pinned by a future test using a mock resolver.
+**Cons:** Async DNS makes `parseRemoteUrl` `async`. Every caller (CLI, MCP op, test) needs to update. ~50-line change.
+**Context:** Codex finding from v0.28.2 ship adversarial review. The IPv6 ULA + link-local portion of the same finding shipped in v0.28.2; DNS rebinding deferred.
+**Depends on:** Nothing.
+
+### `sources.chunker_version` PGLite-schema parity
+**Priority:** P3
+
+**What:** `src/schema.sql:33` declares `sources.chunker_version` and `src/commands/sync.ts:253` reads/writes it, but `src/core/pglite-schema.ts:28` omits the column. PGLite users hit a schema-mismatch error on the sync write path.
+
+**Why:** Pre-existing bug surfaced during the v0.28.2 codex review. Not introduced by remote-source work, but adjacent to source-sync code. Worth fixing as a small parity PR before more source-local state lands.
+
+**Pros:** Closes a quiet schema drift between the two engine implementations. ~10 lines.
+**Cons:** Needs a migration entry to add the column to existing PGLite brains. Migration version bump.
+**Context:** Codex D5 from v0.28.2 plan review.
+**Depends on:** Nothing.
+
+## OAuth/MCP hardening (v0.26.7 follow-up)
+
+### F11 — `auth register-client --redirect-uri` flag
+**Priority:** P3
+
+**What:** `gbrain auth register-client` always passes `[]` for redirect URIs; there is no CLI flag to set them. Operators who want to register an `authorization_code` client without DCR have to hand-edit the database.
+
+**Why:** Operator UX gap, not a trust-boundary issue. Codex C11 correctly flagged it as scope creep on the v0.26.7 hardening pass — kept out of that PR but worth doing.
+
+**Pros:** Closes the operator-experience gap. Validates `https://` or loopback per RFC 6749 §3.1.2.1 at registration time. Repeatable flag.
+**Cons:** ~30 lines of argv parsing + URL validation. Adds one more flag to the `auth register-client` surface. Low value relative to the OAuth provider hardening that already shipped.
+**Context:** Eva-brain has the implementation under `src/commands/auth.ts:registerClient`. Lift verbatim — the `localhost`/`127.0.0.1`/`::1` exact-match validation is correct; codex spot-check confirmed it does NOT match `localhost.evil.com`. v0.27 candidate.
+**Depends on:** Nothing.
+
+### F13 — `gbrain serve --http` argv positive-int validator
+**Priority:** P3
+
+**What:** `parseInt(args[idx + 1])` on `--port` and `--token-ttl` accepts the next flag as the value if the argument is missing (e.g., `--port --token-ttl 100` parses port as NaN → fallback 3131). Negative integers like `--port -1` parse to -1, server fails to bind with a confusing error.
+
+**Why:** Hygiene, not security. Codex C11 flagged as scope creep. Cheap to do later.
+
+**Pros:** Replaces `parseInt(...)  || fallback` with a `parsePositiveIntOption(args, flag, fallback, {max?})` helper that validates the next arg isn't a flag, matches `^[1-9]\d*$`, and clamps to a max. Exits 2 with a clear error.
+**Cons:** ~20 lines of helper + threading through `serve.ts`. Behavior change: previously-silent bad input now exits loud. Probably fine; no consumer relies on the silent fallback.
+**Context:** Eva-brain has the helper at `src/commands/serve.ts`. v0.27 candidate.
+**Depends on:** Nothing.
+
+## destructive-guard (v0.26.5 follow-up)
+
+### Adjacent 2 — Storage objects orphan on hard purge
+**Priority:** P2
+
+**What:** When `purgeExpiredSources` (sources cascade) or `purgeDeletedPages` (page-level) deletes rows, the underlying object-storage payloads referenced by `files.storage_uri` (S3 / Supabase Storage) are NOT torn down. The cascade FK on `files.source_id` removes the DB row that points at the object; the object itself stays.
+
+**Why:** Bound today by most brains carrying `Files: 0` (operator preview boxes confirm this in the wild). The leak compounds the moment attachments / images / audio start landing — every soft-delete + 72h TTL purge silently abandons object-storage bytes.
+
+**Pros:** Closes a real data-leak path. Operators stop paying for orphaned bytes. Aligns sources/pages purge with the file lifecycle.
+**Cons:** Storage backend code is non-trivial (S3 vs Supabase vs local-fs paths each have different cleanup APIs). Single-flight delete + retries on 5xx; needs an audit log.
+**Context:** Plan calls this out explicitly in v0.26.5 CEO review (`~/.claude/plans/take-a-look-and-gentle-pine.md` Adjacent 2). Targets: `src/core/storage.ts` for the object-storage interface, `src/core/destructive-guard.ts` `purgeExpiredSources` for the call site, plus a new sweep in the cycle's purge phase. v0.26.6 candidate.
+**Depends on:** Schema is fine (already has `files.storage_uri`). Just needs the storage delete plumbing.
+
+### Adjacent 3 — sources remove + sources purge race against gbrain sync
+**Priority:** P3
+
+**What:** `gbrain sources remove <id>` and the new `gbrain sources purge <id>` paths don't acquire `SYNC_LOCK_ID` (the `gbrain-sync` writer lock from PR #490). If `gbrain sync` is mid-import for the same source, the parent row can DELETE while sync is INSERTing children, surfacing as a loud FK violation.
+
+**Why:** Failure mode is loud (FK violation, not data corruption), and the race window is narrow. Worth closing while the destructive surface is touched, not before.
+
+**Pros:** Single line at the top of `runRemove` and `runPurge`. Reuses `tryAcquireDbLock(engine, SYNC_LOCK_ID, 5)`. No design surface.
+**Cons:** Adds an extra "couldn't acquire lock" exit path the operator has to recognize and retry.
+**Context:** Plan calls this out in CEO review Adjacent 3. Targets: `src/commands/sources.ts` `runRemove` and `runPurge`. v0.26.6 candidate. Pattern: `try { await fn() } finally { await release() }` mirrors the cycle.ts use of the same primitive.
+**Depends on:** Nothing.
+
+### Auth revoke-client gets the destructive-guard pattern
+**Priority:** P3
+
+**What:** `gbrain auth revoke-client <client_id>` (v0.26.2) lands without an impact preview or `--confirm-destructive` gate. CASCADE-purges every active token + auth code in one transaction; one stray client_id wipes a production integration.
+
+**Why:** Lower urgency than sources/pages because operators run this explicitly with a known client_id, not reflexively. But if the v0.26.5 posture is "every destructive surface gets the same gate," this surface should adopt it.
+
+**Pros:** Posture consistency — every destructive verb in the gbrain CLI follows one pattern. Operators get the impact preview before nuking a production OAuth client.
+**Cons:** Marginal — single-row delete with cascade. The CASCADE is the blast radius, not the verb itself.
+**Context:** Plan flags this in CEO review. Targets: `src/commands/auth.ts` `runRevokeClient` (current shape: atomic DELETE...RETURNING with CASCADE on `oauth_tokens` + `oauth_codes`). Add an impact preview that counts `oauth_tokens` and `oauth_codes` for the client, then gate behind `--confirm-destructive`.
+**Depends on:** Nothing.
+
+## test infra (v0.26.4 follow-up — intra-file parallelism)
+
+### Sweep cross-file shared-state contention; enable `bun test --concurrent` for another 2-3x speedup
+**Priority:** P0
+**Status:** v0.26.7 shipped foundation slice (helpers + lint + mock.module quarantine). v0.26.8 (env sweep) and v0.26.9 (PGLite sweep + codemod + measurement) carry the rest.
+
+**What:** v0.26.4 shipped file-level parallel fan-out (8 shards) and got `bun run test` from 18 minutes to ~85s — a 12x speedup. The next layer is **intra-file** parallelism via Bun's `--concurrent` flag (or per-test `test.concurrent()` markers). This requires every test file to be safe under concurrent execution within the same `bun test` process.
+
+The constraint: when multiple test files load into the same bun process (which is what `bun test foo.test.ts bar.test.ts ...` does inside a shard), they share module-level state. Three contention surfaces today:
+
+- **~58 PGLiteEngine instantiations** across `test/` (per codex's grep). Many use module-level `let engine: PGLiteEngine` patterns. Race when multiple test files load and each invokes `new PGLiteEngine().connect({})`. **(carrying to v0.26.9)**
+- **~40 process.env mutations** without restore. `process.env.X = '...'` not paired with `afterEach` cleanup leaks across files in the same process. **(carrying to v0.26.8 — `withEnv` helper shipped in v0.26.7)**
+- ~~**2 top-level `mock.module(...)` calls** in `test/core/cycle.test.ts:26` and `test/embed.test.ts`. Top-level mocks affect every other test file in the same process.~~ **(quarantined as `*.serial.test.ts` in v0.26.7)**
+
+The repo already has the right helper: `test/helpers/reset-pglite.ts` exports `resetPgliteState(engine)` which is "two orders of magnitude faster" than fresh-engine-per-test (per the helper's own comment). Sweep all PGLite sites to use one shared engine + this reset in `beforeEach`. Do NOT introduce a `freshPglite()` allocator — codex correctly flagged that the repo already rejected that direction.
+
+Two flakes already known and quarantined as `*.serial.test.ts` (run after parallel pass at `--max-concurrency=1`):
+- `test/brain-registry.serial.test.ts` (was `brain-registry.test.ts`)
+- `test/reconcile-links.serial.test.ts` (was `reconcile-links.test.ts`)
+
+After the sweep, both should be fixable and renameable back to plain `*.test.ts`.
+
+**Why:**
+- 2-3x additional speedup on top of v0.26.4's 12x. Target: `bun run test` < 30s on a Mac dev box.
+- Forces the test architecture to be principled (no shared mutable state across files in the same process).
+- The empirical proof point: when `bun run test` was first measured at v0.26.4, two flakes surfaced under cross-file pressure that pass cleanly in isolation. That same pattern WILL surface more flakes if the suite grows. Better to sweep proactively than to keep growing the `*.serial.test.ts` quarantine.
+
+**Pros:**
+- Real architectural win, not just speed: tests become composable.
+- Existing helper (`test/helpers/reset-pglite.ts`) already validates the pattern.
+- Quarantined flakes auto-resolve: rename back to `*.test.ts` after the sweep.
+
+**Cons:**
+- 1-2 weeks of careful refactoring across ~100 test files.
+- Some tests genuinely need shared file-wide state (top-level mocks for module-replacement tests). Those stay quarantined as `*.serial.test.ts` permanently — but the count should shrink to a known small set, not grow.
+
+**Context:** v0.26.4 plan considered doing this in scope (Codex Tension #2 = C). After empirical measurement showed `--max-concurrency=4` does nothing on tests not marked `test.concurrent()`, the user chose to ship v0.26.4 as file-level-only and file this as the v0.27+ project. Plan file: `~/.claude/plans/system-instruction-you-are-working-tranquil-ladybug.md`. Codex critical findings #2, #3, #6 are all relevant.
+
+**Acceptance criteria:**
+1. All ~58 PGLiteEngine sites use shared-engine + `resetPgliteState()` in `beforeEach`. **(v0.26.9)**
+2. All ~40 `process.env` mutations use a `withEnv(...)` helper that saves + restores. **(v0.26.8 — helper shipped v0.26.7)**
+3. ~~The 2 top-level `mock.module()` calls scoped to `beforeEach`/`afterEach`, OR the file moves to `*.serial.test.ts`.~~ **DONE in v0.26.7 (quarantined)**
+4. Wrapper passes `--concurrent` (or every test marked `.concurrent()`). **(v0.26.9 — codemod with `find` recursive per Codex F3)**
+5. `bun run test` runs 5 times consecutively without flakes. **(v0.26.9)**
+6. Quarantine count `≤10` after the sweep (raised from 5 per D15; v0.26.7 added 2, currently 4: brain-registry, reconcile-links, cycle, embed).
+7. Wallclock target: `bun run test` ≤60s informational (per D9, dropped from <30s after Codex F1: marking only ~92 cheap files concurrent doesn't unblock the heavy 56 PGLite + 49 env files). Pinned config: SHARDS=8, MAX_CONCURRENCY=4, document Mac model. **(v0.26.9)**
+
+**Decisions ledger (v0.26.7 plan):** D1 reversed→D16 sliced, D5 quarantine, D6 no helper wrapper, D7 grep+quarantine, D9 ≤60s informational, D10 ESM-cache claim dropped, D11 codemod uses `find` recursive, D12 lint wired into `verify` not `test`, D13 unquarantine attempt dropped, D14 extended grep patterns, D15 cap raised to 10.
+
+**Estimated effort:** 1-2 weeks of one engineer's focused work. Could parallelize by sub-area (env-mutation sweep is independent of PGLite sweep).
+
+### Speed up E2E via Postgres template databases
+**Priority:** P1
+
+**What:** E2E tests (`bun run test:e2e`) currently run sequentially in one shared Postgres container, each test file calling `initSchema()` from scratch (~5-20s each on cold init). Speed-up: build the schema ONCE into a template DB (`gbrain_template`), then have each test file `CREATE DATABASE foo TEMPLATE gbrain_template` (~50ms per clone). With per-shard `DATABASE_URL` overrides, E2E can fan out to N parallel shards too.
+
+**Why:** Current E2E wallclock is ~5-10 min in CI. Template DB clones could bring that to ~1-2 min. Critical for the inner loop on E2E-bearing PRs (currently a real friction point per `/ship` workflow).
+
+**Sketch:**
+1. Build template DB once via `initSchema()` against `gbrain_template`.
+2. Per-test-file: `CREATE DATABASE gbrain_test_clone_<n> TEMPLATE gbrain_template` (50ms vs 5-20s).
+3. Per-shard isolation via `DATABASE_URL` env override.
+4. Schema-version stamp on the template so it invalidates when `migrate.ts` changes.
+5. Cleanup via `DROP DATABASE` in afterAll.
+
+**Estimated effort:** 1-2 days. Filed during v0.26.4 plan as a deferred follow-up (D4 = B).
+
+## test infra (v0.26.2 follow-up — pre-existing failures triage)
+
+### Fix 22 pre-existing test failures unrelated to OAuth
+**Priority:** P0
+
+**What:** A `bun test` run on top of master at v0.26.2 surfaces 22 pre-existing failures across these suites — none touch v0.26.2's diff (oauth-provider.ts, auth.ts, oauth tests). They reproduce on a clean checkout against master:
+
+- 12 cases in `test/e2e/sync.test.ts` (Git-to-DB Sync Pipeline) — `result.status === 'first_sync'` vs actual `'synced'` state-machine drift; same root cause across all 12.
+- 3 cases in `test/e2e/multi-source.test.ts` (cascade delete + 2 sync routing) — performSync sourceId/local_path resolution.
+- `test/e2e/sync-parallel.test.ts` (60-file Postgres concurrency=4) — connection-leak probe regression.
+- `test/e2e/sync.test.ts` `--skip-failed` structured summary loop (v0.22.12 #500).
+- `test/e2e/dream.test.ts` (no --dry-run syncs pages) — runCycle DB write path.
+- `test/e2e/cycle.test.ts` (live cycle + chunks + lock cleanup).
+- `test/e2e/doctor.test.ts` (gbrain doctor exits 0 on healthy DB) — possibly related to v0.26.2 schema changes since CHANGELOG mentions extension of doctor checks.
+- `test/brain-registry.test.ts` (empty/null/undefined id routes to host) — unrelated to OAuth surface.
+- `test/e2e/claw-test.test.ts` (fresh-install scripted scenario) — needs investigation; took 3.9s and reported "produces zero error/blocker friction" failure.
+
+**Why:** These failures pre-date v0.26.2 (CHANGELOG already documents "18 pre-existing master timeouts" from v0.26.0 merge). v0.26.2 brings the count to 22, suggesting a 4-test drift on master between v0.26.0 ship and now. Fixing inside v0.26.2 would balloon scope from a 6-file OAuth fix-wave to a 30+ file test-infra repair. The fix-wave deserves its own PR with focused triage.
+
+**Likely root causes worth investigating:**
+- **bun execSync env inheritance** (already discovered + fixed in test/e2e/serve-http-oauth.test.ts during v0.26.2): bun's `execSync` does NOT inherit env mutations done via `process.env.X = ...`, only OS-level env from before bun started. helpers.ts loads `.env.testing` and sets `DATABASE_URL` via `process.env` mutation, which is invisible to subprocesses unless `env: { ...process.env }` is passed explicitly. Several of the failing E2E tests (sync, cycle, dream, claw-test) spawn subprocesses via execSync — likely the same bug.
+- **Test ordering / DB state pollution**: full-suite runs in bun test happen in a deterministic order; isolated runs of these test files may pass while suite runs fail. Could indicate beforeAll/afterAll cleanup gaps.
+- **Schema drift**: doctor/multi-source tests may rely on specific schema state that v0.26 OAuth tables changed.
+
+**Pros:**
+- Separating from v0.26.2 keeps the OAuth ship focused and auditable; the 22 failures aren't blocking real-world OAuth functionality.
+- The execSync env-inheritance pattern is now documented in test/e2e/serve-http-oauth.test.ts as a reference fix for the next maintainer.
+- Unblocks v0.26.2 ship while preserving the failure inventory for the follow-up.
+
+**Cons:**
+- 22 failing tests on master is real test-infra debt.
+- Some may be load-bearing (sync pipeline failures could mask real regressions in `performSync`).
+- `bun run ci:local` (full E2E gate) won't pass cleanly until these are addressed.
+
+**Context:** Discovered during v0.26.2 ship audit. Reproduce with `bun test 2>&1 | grep "^(fail)"` after copying `.env.testing` from a sibling worktree (port 5435 test DB running). The 17/17 OAuth E2E suite passes in isolation AND in full-suite after the env-inheritance fix landed.
+
+**Effort:** L (human ~4-8h; CC ~30-60min once env-inheritance fix is applied across all tests).
+
+**Depends on / blocked by:** None — independent of v0.26.2.

+## ci-local-mirror
+
+### CI-skip artifact + signature for stages 1+2 follow-up
+**Priority:** P0
+
+**What:** After a successful local CI run via `bun run ci:local`, write `.ci-cache/passed-<commit-sha>.json` containing `{commit, test_set_hash, bun_version, schema_hash, signature}`. Push to a `ci-cache` orphan branch (or GH Releases). CI's first step fetches the artifact for the current SHA and skips the test job if (a) signature matches Garry's GPG/SSH key, and (b) `test_set_hash` matches what CI would have run.
+
+**Why:** Stages 1+2 (shipped in this branch) give a strong local CI gate, but PR CI still re-runs every test on every push. Stage 3 closes the loop and trades ~10 min of CI wall-time for sub-second artifact verification on Garry's own pushes. External PRs are unaffected because the signature won't match — they hit the normal CI path.
+
+**Pros:**
+- ~10 min/PR saved on Garry's own pushes; the local gate becomes the source of truth.
+- External contributor PRs untouched (no security regression).
+- Forces a clear test-set-hash contract: any drift in what local-vs-CI run is caught at verification time.
+
+**Cons:**
+- Trust model needs careful design: signature scheme, key rotation, what happens when signature verification fails.
+- Cache invalidation is real — if env or service version drifts between local run and CI, a stale local pass could ship to master.
+- Adds a `ci-cache` branch / artifact storage surface to maintain.
+
+**Context:**
+- Discussed during the eng-review of the local CI mirror plan at `~/.claude/plans/lets-do-1-2-dockerfile-ci-zany-charm.md`.
+- Don't start until stages 1+2 have been used for ~2 weeks AND the `scripts/e2e-test-map.ts` has stabilized (so test_set_hash is a meaningful identity).
+- Initial trust-but-verify: run both local and CI in parallel for ~1 week before flipping the skip; alert on any disagreement.
+
+**Effort:** M (human ~2-3 days + ~1 week trust-but-verify period running both local + CI in parallel; CC ~1 day for the mechanics).
+
+**Depends on / blocked by:** Stages 1+2 (this PR) landing first.
+
+### test/e2e/multi-source.test.ts cascade test isn't isolated
+**Priority:** P1
+
+**What:** The "sources remove cascades to pages + chunks + timeline + links + files" test in `test/e2e/multi-source.test.ts:281` fails when the file runs after other E2E files in the sequential `bash scripts/run-e2e.sh` order, but passes 20/20 on a fresh Postgres volume. The failing assertion is `SELECT COUNT(*) FROM links WHERE from_page_id = aliceId` expecting 0, getting 1 — so a prior file's setup left a `links` row that references a page id the cascade test happens to reuse. The test's own `setupDB()` truncates but doesn't sweep all referencing rows back when ids collide.
+
+**Why:** Surfaced when `bun run ci:local` (this PR's local CI gate) ran the full sequential E2E. CI never catches it because `.github/workflows/e2e.yml:40` only runs `mechanical.test.ts + mcp.test.ts` on PRs and nightly Tier 1. So 27 of 29 E2E files including this one aren't actually exercised by CI today. The local gate is stronger and surfaces real cross-file isolation gaps.
+
+**Pros:**
+- Fixing isolation makes `bun run ci:local` (full E2E) reliably green.
+- Same fix likely to harden other E2E files that share id namespaces.
+- Lets us turn `bun run ci:local` into a real ship gate.
+
+**Cons:**
+- Could require a per-file "namespace your test ids" pattern, ~30 min per affected file across the suite.
+
+**Context:**
+- Repro: `bash scripts/run-e2e.sh test/e2e/multi-source.test.ts` against a stale DB after other E2E files have run → fails. Same against a fresh `docker compose down -v && up -d postgres` → passes 20/20.
+- The test inserts a hardcoded `cascadetest` source id and `aliceId` page id; collisions across runs are predictable.
+- Likely fix: use `mkdtemp`-style randomized source/page ids per test, OR have the test do a deeper reset (DELETE FROM all five tables in beforeEach) instead of relying on `setupDB`'s TRUNCATE behavior.
+
+**Effort:** S (CC ~30 min for the multi-source.test.ts fix; M if we audit all 29 E2E files for similar id-collision risk).
+
+**Depends on / blocked by:** Nothing.
+
+### scripts/run-e2e.sh:71 echo overflows on large-output failing tests
+**Priority:** P2
+
+**What:** When an E2E test fails AND prints lots of output (e.g., `multi-source.test.ts` floods postgres NOTICE objects), `scripts/run-e2e.sh:71` does `echo "$output"` against a multi-megabyte shell variable. The host pipe to docker-compose-run hits `EAGAIN` and fails with `echo: write error: Resource temporarily unavailable`. With `set -e`, the script aborts at that point, skipping the remaining E2E files and the final SUMMARY block.
+
+**Why:** When the local CI gate finds a real failure (per the multi-source.test.ts entry above), the user wants to see it AND see how the rest of the suite did. Currently the failure shadows the rest.
+
+**Pros:**
+- See all E2E failures from a single run instead of needing to bisect.
+- Quick win, ~5 lines.
+
+**Cons:**
+- None worth listing.
+
+**Context:**
+- Reproduced live during plan verification on 2026-04-29. Previous `multi-source.test.ts` failure killed the script before postgres-bootstrap, postgres-jsonb, etc. could run.
+- Likely fix: replace `echo "$output"` with `printf '%s\n' "$output"`, or write `$output` to a tmpfile and `cat` it (handles large blobs better than echo over pipes), or pipe through `stdbuf -o0`.
+- Don't suppress the postgres NOTICE flood at the test layer — that's separate; here we just want the script to not die when bun's stderr is verbose.

+## claw-test E2E (v0.22.16 follow-ups)
+
+### Hermes runner — `src/core/claw-test/runners/hermes.ts`
+**Priority:** P2
+
+**What:** Add a Hermes implementation of the `AgentRunner` interface. v1 ships only OpenClaw; v1.1 lands hermes once we have real friction reports from openclaw to validate the contract against.
+
+**Why:** Cross-agent diff (`gbrain friction diff --base openclaw --compare hermes`) is the highest-leverage next signal. Friction unique to one agent vs common-to-both separates "agent contract bug" from "gbrain bug" automatically.
+
+**Effort:** S (CC ~30m). Depends on: v1 openclaw runner producing real friction reports first.
+
+---
+
+### Friction analytics suite — `diff` / `trend` / `migration-stub`
+**Priority:** P2
+
+**What:** Three new `gbrain friction` subcommands deferred from v1:
+- `gbrain friction diff --base <run-or-agent> --compare <run-or-agent>` (cross-agent comparison; ~80 LOC)
+- `gbrain friction trend [--since <version-or-date>] [--phase <name>]` (time-series across runs; ~60 LOC)
+- `gbrain friction migration-stub [--threshold N]` (clusters friction by phase + tokens, emits `skills/migrations/v[N+1].md` stub; ~150 LOC)
+
+**Why:** Turns point-in-time reports into a slope. Pairs with the v1.1 public scoreboard.
+
+**Effort:** M (CC ~2h total).
+
+---
+
+### Scenario expansion — `supabase-migration` and `supervisor-restart`
+**Priority:** P2
+
+**What:** Two more scenarios under `test/fixtures/claw-test-scenarios/`:
+- `supabase-migration` — `gbrain init --pglite` then `gbrain migrate --to supabase`; verifies the cross-engine migration path
+- `supervisor-restart` — kill worker mid-job; verify supervisor recovers without data loss
+
+**Why:** These are the other highest-historical-pain regression points (per CLAUDE.md fix-wave history). v1 ships only `fresh-install` + `upgrade-from-v0.18` because Codex flagged that mixing them dilutes the fresh-install signal; v1.1 lands them as separate scenarios.
+
+**Effort:** M (CC ~1h each).
+
+---
+
+### Real v0.18 SQL dump for upgrade scenario
+**Priority:** P2
+
+**What:** The `upgrade-from-v0.18` scenario ships scaffolded — `seed/dump.sql` is missing. The harness gracefully no-ops the seed phase when absent, so the scenario currently behaves like fresh-install. v1.1: generate a real v0.18-shape PGLite dump per the procedure documented in `test/fixtures/claw-test-scenarios/upgrade-from-v0.18/seed/README.md`.
+
+**Why:** Without a real seed, the scenario doesn't actually exercise the migration chain forward-walk. That's the whole point of the upgrade scenario — proves issue #239/#243/#266/#357 class regressions stay fixed.
+
+**Effort:** S (CC ~30m once a v0.18 checkout is handy). Depends on: ability to run a v0.18 gbrain build.

+
+### Public scoreboard — `gbrain-evals.io/friction`
+**Priority:** P3
+
+**What:** Sibling-repo PR in `garrytan/gbrain-evals` that renders friction JSONL into a public dashboard. Friction count per version per agent, line charts over time. v1's JSONL already includes `gbrain_version` + `agent` tags so the scoreboard is a thin layer on top.
+
+**Why:** Marketing surface. Proves install quality is improving release-over-release. The friction loop becomes visible to the world, not just maintainers.
+
+**Effort:** M. Depends on: a working live mode and ≥10 real friction reports.
+
+---
+
+### PTY-mode transcript capture
+**Priority:** P3
+
+**What:** `transcript-capture.ts` currently uses plain `child_process.spawn` pipes. Some agents only emit ANSI colors / progress UI on a TTY. v1.1 adds a PTY mode (likely via `node-pty`) so live-mode transcripts capture the full agent UX.
+
+**Why:** Faithful transcripts make the friction → reasoning link more useful. v1 accepts that some agent UI is lost.
+
+**Effort:** S (CC ~30m). Mostly a ~30 LOC swap inside `spawnWithCapture`.
+
+---
+
+### Read-side host-isolation (`$GBRAIN_HOST_HOME`)
+**Priority:** P3
+
+**What:** v0.22.16 confined every `~/.gbrain` write site to honor `$GBRAIN_HOME`. But `src/commands/init.ts:299-313` still reads real `~/.claude` / `~/.openclaw` / `~/.codex` / `~/.factory` / `~/.kiro` for module fingerprinting (host detection). Even with write-isolation, a claw-test running on a developer's box discovers their real installed mods. v1.1: add a separate `$GBRAIN_HOST_HOME` override for the read-side detection so the claw-test can run truly hermetic.
+
+**Why:** v1's hermeticity contract is "writes are isolated, reads are not." v1.1 closes the read-side gap.
+
+**Effort:** S (CC ~30m).
+
+---
+
+### Routing-callout sweep — annotate skills the claw-test exercises
+**Priority:** P3
+
+**What:** `skills/_friction-protocol.md` is a cross-cutting convention. v1.1: sweep the 4–6 skills the claw-test actually exercises (setup, brain-ops, query, ingest, smoke-test, the migrations the test covers) and add a `> **Convention:** see [skills/_friction-protocol.md](_friction-protocol.md).` callout via the existing `src/core/dry-fix.ts` shape so DRY auto-fix doesn't fight it.
+
+**Why:** Right now agents only call `gbrain friction log` if they find the protocol skill on their own. The callouts route them there proactively from any harness-exercised skill.
+
+**Effort:** S (CC ~15m).

+**What:** Fix the concurrent-PGLite-init flake that surfaces ~27 `error: PGLite not connected. Call connect() first.` failures when `bun test` runs all 174 unit-test files together. Each failing file passes in isolation; failures only appear under full-suite parallelism.
+
+**Why:** The failures are masking real signal. /ship and any solo dev running `bun test` has to manually triage 27 results every time.

All exist on master and date back to v0.12.3-v0.21.0 — pre-existing, not caused by any one branch.
+
+**Context:** Confirmed pre-existing on master via `git diff origin/master...HEAD --stat -- <failing files>` returning empty. Tests pass cleanly in 1-3-file batches. Wall clock for the full suite is 596s. Likely root causes: (a) PGLite has a singleton or shared OPFS-like state that races under parallel `PGlite.create()` calls, (b) `test/cathedral-ii-pglite.test.ts` "fresh-install schema" tests assume exclusive PGLite access, (c) bun test concurrency exceeds what PGLite's WASM init can handle.
+
+**Pros:** Green suite signal. Faster shipping. Stops eroding trust in `bun test`.

+
+### v0.25.0 eval-capture follow-ups (6 surgical hardenings)
+**Priority:** P1
+
+**What:** Six targeted hardenings on the v0.25.0 eval-capture surface, all surfaced by the /ship adversarial review and triaged out of the v0.25.0 PR to keep scope tight:
+
+1. `gbrain eval prune --dry-run`: replace the `listEvalCandidates(limit:100k) + filter` count with a real `engine.countEvalCandidatesBefore(date)` method. Today the warning at `eval-prune.ts:107-109` honestly tells the user the count may be undercounted, but a brain with > 100k rows + old data could still confuse a careful operator. New `BrainEngine` method on both engines, ~30 LOC, lifts the floor count to a true count.
+2. PII scrubber CC false-positive rate: 16-digit Luhn-valid order IDs / invoice numbers get redacted as `[REDACTED]`. Either require a contextual prefix (`card`, `cc`, `credit`) within N chars, or document the tradeoff explicitly in `docs/eval-capture.md`. The two approaches differ in coverage so list them as alternatives.
+3. `eval_capture_failures.reason` enum: `'scrubber_exception'` is dead telemetry — no realistic path emits it (the scrubber is regex-only and never throws). Either remove the value from the schema CHECK + enum, OR wrap `scrubPii` in a try-catch inside `buildEvalCandidateInput` so the value is actually reachable.
+4. `id DESC` tiebreaker docs: CLAUDE.md says "stable id-desc tiebreaker so `--since` windows never dupe/miss rows". This is true within a single call but doesn't prevent dupe/miss across overlapping windows when LIMIT < total. Either add a real `id`-cursor (`WHERE id < $cursor`) for export, or scope the doc claim to "within a single export call".
+5. Public-exports canaries: 6 of 17 subpaths (`gbrain` root, `/minions`, `/engine-factory`, `/transcription`, `/backoff`, `/extract`) have `canary: []` — the test only checks the import resolves, so a barrel module accidentally losing its named exports would still pass. Pin one stable canary symbol per subpath.
+6. `EXPECTED_COUNT` duplication: `scripts/check-exports-count.sh` and `test/public-exports.test.ts` both hardcode `17`. Drift risk. Make one read the other (or both compute from `package.json`).
+
+**Why:** All 6 are real (some informational, some footgun-class) but each is small and surgical. Bundling into one v0.25.1 follow-up PR keeps the v0.25.0 ship clean and lets the fixes land with their own dedicated tests + CHANGELOG entry.

+### beforeAll hook timeouts under parallel test runner
+**What:** 17 tests across 9 files (dream, orphans, brain-allowlist, extract-db, multi-source-integration, core/cycle, migrations-v0_12_2, migrations-v0_13_1, oauth) fail with `beforeEach/afterEach hook timed out for this test` at the 7-10 second threshold when run via `bun run test` (parallel). Every test passes in isolation (`bun test path/to/file.test.ts` → 0 fail). Root cause is PGLite schema init racing under concurrent test files.
+
+**Why:** `bun run test` is the pre-ship gate and reports these as failures, forcing manual triage on every /ship. The tests themselves are correct — the runner is stressing PGLite boot. Bumping the hook timeout or running E2E-like tests with `--bail` or serial execution would clear the 18 false positives.
+
+**Fix options:**
+1. Bump per-test hook timeout to 30s in `bunfig.toml` (quick fix, low risk)
+2. Move PGLite-init-heavy tests to `test/e2e/` so they run serially via `scripts/run-e2e.sh` (follows existing pattern)
+3. Share a module-scoped PGLite instance across describe blocks within a file (biggest win — most fixture setup is identical)

+- **Borders:** #1e1e2e (default), #3a3a5a (hover/active)
+- **Text:**
+  - Primary: #e0e0e0
+  - Secondary: #888888
+  - Muted: #555555
+  - Link: #88aaff
+- **Semantic (badges only):**
+  - Success/active: #34a853
+  - Error/danger: #ff6b6b
+  - Warning: #f5a623
+  - Read scope: #3b82f6
+  - Write scope: #f59e0b
+  - Admin scope: #ef4444
+- **No accent color.** The data IS the interface. Badges carry all the color.
+
+## Spacing
+- **Base unit:** 4px
+- **Density:** Dense — this is an ops tool, not a landing page
+- **Scale:** 4px, 8px, 12px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 32px, 48px
+- **Table row padding:** 10px 16px
+- **Card padding:** 24px
+- **Modal padding:** 24px
+- **Section gaps:** 24px between sections, 12px between related elements
+
+## Layout
+- **Sidebar:** Fixed left, 200px wide, dark (#0a0a0f)
+- **Main content:** Fluid, max-width none (fills available space)
+- **Grid:** Single column for tables (full width), 2-column for stats cards
+- **Border radius:**
+  - Cards/panels: 16px
+  - Buttons/inputs: 8px
+  - Badges: 9999px (pill)
+  - Tables: 0 (sharp edges — data is rectangular)
+
+## Components
+
+### Tables
+- Full-width, no outer border
+- Header row: uppercase, letter-spaced, muted color, no background
+- Data rows: subtle hover (#1a1a2a), pointer cursor when clickable
+- All text left-aligned
+- Monospace for IDs, tokens, latency values
+
+### Badges
+- Pill shape (border-radius: 9999px)
+- Padding: 2px 8px
+- Font: 12px
+- Scoped to semantic meaning: `success`, `danger`, `read`, `write`, `admin`
+
+### Buttons
+- Primary: white text on #3a3a5a, hover brightens
+- Secondary: muted text on transparent, border #1e1e2e
+- Danger: white text on #ff6b6b background
+- Size: 13px font, 6px 14px padding
+
+### Modals
+- Overlay: rgba(0,0,0,0.7)
+- Card: #12121a, border #1e1e2e, border-radius 16px, max-width 480px
+- Title: 18px Semibold, left-aligned
+- Close: top-right ✕ button
+
+### Drawers
+- Right-side panel, 400px wide
+- Slide in from right
+- Dark overlay behind
+- Close button top-right
+- Sections separated by section titles (uppercase, muted)
+
+### Tabs
+- Inline horizontal, wrapping allowed
+- Active: white text, bottom border
+- Inactive: muted text, no border
+- No background color on tabs
+
+### Code blocks
+- Background: rgba(0,0,0,0.3)
+- Border-radius: 8px
+- Padding: 10px 14px
+- Font: JetBrains Mono 12px
+- Copy button: right-aligned, subtle
+
+### Empty states
+- Centered text (only exception to left-align rule)
+- Muted color
+- Suggest next action
+
+## Motion
+- **Approach:** Minimal — transitions for hover states only
+- **Duration:** 150ms for hovers, 200ms for drawer slide
+- **No loading spinners** — show stale data until fresh arrives
+- **SSE live feed:** Real-time, no animation on new entries (just prepend)
+
+## Anti-Patterns (do NOT do these)
+- ❌ Center-aligned table data
+- ❌ Center-aligned headings or labels (except empty states)
+- ❌ Gradient backgrounds
+- ❌ Shadows (the dark theme IS the depth model)
+- ❌ Rounded table corners
+- ❌ Icons as navigation (use text labels)
+- ❌ Loading skeletons (show real data or nothing)
+- ❌ Confirmation toasts (action → result is immediate and visible)
+- ❌ Color for decoration (every color means something)
+
+## Decisions Log
+| Date | Decision | Rationale |
+|------|----------|-----------|
+| 2026-05-01 | Dark theme only | Ops dashboard. No light mode needed. |
+| 2026-05-01 | Steve Krug lens | Zero happy talk, mindless choices, scannable tables, billboard-speed comprehension. |
+| 2026-05-01 | JetBrains Mono for data | Anything copyable or technical should be monospace. |
+| 2026-05-03 | Left-align everything | Garry preference. Centered text is a design crutch. Left-align forces hierarchy through typography weight and spacing, not position. |
+| 2026-05-03 | Incorporate GStack design DNA | Same family: Inter + JetBrains Mono, dark base, semantic-only color. Diverges on accent (GStack: amber; GBrain: none — data is the color). |
+| 2026-05-03 | Per-client config export tabs | Claude Code, ChatGPT, Claude.ai, Cursor, Perplexity, JSON. Every agent has a copy-paste setup path. |
+| 2026-05-03 | Magic link auth | Login page tells you to ask your agent. No pasting hex strings into forms. |

+# All services are pulled as `image:` (no build) so `docker compose pull`

+# uses TRUNCATE CASCADE in setupDB(). Running files in parallel against ONE DB
+# races (file A's TRUNCATE clobbers file B's fixture import). 4 separate DBs
+# remove the race; we shard the file list 1/4..4/4 and run shards in parallel.
+# Within a shard, files still run sequentially. Total wall-time on a 16-core

+# Brains and Sources — the mental model
+
+GBrain has two orthogonal axes for organizing knowledge. Users and agents both
+need to understand both of them, or queries misroute silently.
+
+**TL;DR:**
+- A **brain** is a database. You can have many.
+- A **source** is a named repo of content *inside* a brain. One brain can hold many.
+- `--brain <id>` picks WHICH DATABASE.
+- `--source <id>` picks WHICH REPO WITHIN that database.
+- They're independent. You can target any combination.
+
+---
+
+## The two axes
+
+### Brains (the DB axis)
+
+A **brain** is one database — PGLite file, self-hosted Postgres, or Supabase.
+Each brain has:
+- Its own `pages` table, `chunks` table, `embeddings`, etc.
+- Its own OAuth surface if served over HTTP MCP (v0.19+, PR 2).
+- Its own separate lifecycle, backup, access control.
+
+Brains are enumerated by:
+- **host** — your default brain, configured in `~/.gbrain/config.json`.
+- **mounts** — additional brains registered in `~/.gbrain/mounts.json` via
+  `gbrain mounts add <id>` (v0.19+).
+
+Routing: `--brain <id>`, `GBRAIN_BRAIN_ID`, `.gbrain-mount` dotfile, or
+longest-path match against registered mount paths. Falls back to `host`.
+
+### Sources (the repo axis, v0.18.0+)
+
+A **source** is a named content repo *inside* one brain. Every `pages` row
+carries a `source_id`. Slugs are unique per source, not globally.
+
+Example: in one brain, the slug `topics/ai` can exist under `source=wiki`
+AND under `source=gstack` — they're different pages.
+
+Routing: `--source <id>`, `GBRAIN_SOURCE`, `.gbrain-source` dotfile, or
+registered `local_path` match in the `sources` table.
+
+### When does each axis move?
+
+| You want to | Adjust |
+|---|---|
+| Work in a different repo within the same brain (wiki → gstack notes) | `--source` |
+| Query a team-published brain that isn't yours | `--brain` |
+| Isolate a topic so it never leaks into personal search | `--source` with `federated=false` |
+| Share a brain with teammates | `--brain` (mount the team brain) |
+| Add a new repo to your personal brain | `--source` via `gbrain sources add` |
+| Add a team brain | `--brain` via `gbrain mounts add` |
+
+**Rule of thumb:** if the data owner changes, it's a brain boundary. If the
+data owner stays the same but the topic/repo changes, it's a source boundary.
+
+---
+
+## Topology: a single-person developer
+
+Simplest case. One brain, one source.
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  host brain (~/.gbrain)                 │
+│  ├── source: default (federated=true)   │
+│  │   └── all pages                      │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+`gbrain query "retry budgets"` finds everything. No `--brain`, no `--source`
+needed.
+
+---
+
+## Topology: a personal brain with multiple repos
+
+You maintain several codebases or writing streams. Each is its own source
+inside one brain. Cross-source search is on by default so a query about
+"caching" returns hits from every repo.
+
+```
+┌──────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  host brain (~/.gbrain)                      │
+│  ├── source: wiki      (federated=true)      │
+│  │   └── personal notes, people, companies   │
+│  ├── source: gstack    (federated=true)      │
+│  │   └── gstack plans, learnings             │
+│  ├── source: openclaw  (federated=true)      │
+│  │   └── openclaw docs, memos                │
+│  └── source: essays    (federated=false)     │
+│      └── draft essays, isolated on purpose   │
+└──────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+Inside `~/openclaw/` the `.gbrain-source` dotfile pins every command to
+`source=openclaw`. Inside `~/gstack/` the dotfile pins to `source=gstack`.
+Everything still targets one DB.
+
+Use this topology when:
+- You own all the content.
+- You want cross-repo search to just work.
+- You don't need to share any of it with someone who isn't you.
+
+---
+
+## Topology: personal brain + one team brain
+
+You're on a team that publishes a shared brain. Your personal brain stays
+as-is; you mount the team brain alongside it.
+
+```
+┌──────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  host brain (~/.gbrain)  — YOUR personal DB  │
+│  ├── source: wiki                            │
+│  ├── source: gstack                          │
+│  └── ...                                     │
+└──────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+
+┌──────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  mount: media-team                           │
+│  path:   ~/team-brains/media                 │
+│  engine: postgres (team's Supabase)          │
+│  └── sources: wiki, raw, enriched            │
+└──────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+`gbrain query "X"` (no flags) → runs against host (your personal brain).
+`gbrain query "X" --brain media-team` → runs against the team's DB.
+Inside `~/team-brains/media/` a `.gbrain-mount` dotfile pins brain to
+`media-team` automatically.
+
+Use this topology when:
+- You're on a team and someone publishes a brain the team subscribes to.
+- You need data isolation between work and personal.
+- Different teams/orgs own different brains.
+
+---
+
+## Topology: a CEO-class user with multiple team memberships
+
+You're senior enough to sit across multiple teams. You maintain your personal
+brain (with N sources inside) AND mount several work team brains. Each team
+brain is itself a multi-source brain in the v0.18.0 sense — organized
+internally however the team owner chose.
+
+```
+┌──────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  host brain — YOUR personal DB               │
+│  ├── source: wiki                            │
+│  ├── source: essays                          │
+│  ├── source: gstack                          │
+│  └── source: openclaw                        │
+└──────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+
+┌──────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  mount: media-team (your media team's brain) │
+│  └── sources: wiki, pipeline, enriched       │
+└──────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+
+┌──────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  mount: policy-team (your policy team's)     │
+│  └── sources: wiki, research, letters        │
+└──────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+
+┌──────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  mount: portfolio (another team's)           │
+│  └── sources: companies, deals, diligence    │
+└──────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+Inside each team's checkout, a `.gbrain-mount` dotfile pins the brain. Inside
+a specific subdirectory, a `.gbrain-source` dotfile pins the source. So `cd
+~/team-brains/policy/research && gbrain query "X"` targets
+`brain=policy-team, source=research` with zero flags.
+
+Use this topology when:
+- You cross-cut multiple teams.
+- Each team owns its own brain with its own access policy.
+- You need latent-space federation (agent decides when to query across
+  brains), not SQL federation.
+
+Cross-brain queries are **not deterministic** in v0.19. The agent sees the
+brain list and re-queries as needed. That's the feature — it keeps debugging
+sane and access control clean.
+
+---
+
+## Resolution precedence (one page to remember)
+
+```
+WHICH BRAIN (DB)?                    WHICH SOURCE (repo in DB)?
+ 1. --brain <id>                      1. --source <id>
+ 2. GBRAIN_BRAIN_ID env               2. GBRAIN_SOURCE env
+ 3. .gbrain-mount dotfile             3. .gbrain-source dotfile
+ 4. longest-prefix mount path match   4. longest-prefix source path match
+ 5. (reserved: brains.default v2)     5. sources.default config
+ 6. fallback: 'host'                  6. fallback: 'default'
+```
+
+Both axes follow the same layered pattern on purpose. If you know one, you
+know the other.
+
+---
+
+## For agents reading this
+
+- Default assumption when the user asks a question: start in the current
+  brain (resolved via the precedence above). Don't jump brains without a
+  reason.
+- If the user asks a question that crosses topic areas a team might own
+  (e.g. "what did Team X decide last week?"), the right move is to *query
+  the team's brain explicitly* rather than searching host with "team x".
+- Cross-brain federation is YOUR JOB, not the DB's. You have the brain list
+  (`gbrain mounts list`). You decide when to fan out. You synthesize
+  findings. You cite `brain:source:slug`.
+- When writing a page, respect the brain boundary. A fact about a team's
+  work belongs in the team's brain, not in the user's personal brain. Ask
+  before writing cross-brain.
+- See `skills/conventions/brain-routing.md` for the full decision table.
+
+## For users reading this
+
+- **Default path:** set up your personal brain (`gbrain init`), add a source
+  per repo you care about (`gbrain sources add gstack --path ~/gstack`).
+  You'll almost never need `--brain`.
+- **When a team publishes a brain:** `gbrain mounts add <team-id> --path
+  <clone> --db-url <url>` and the `.gbrain-mount` dotfile in that checkout
+  routes queries there automatically.
+- **When you are the CEO-class user with multiple team memberships:** mount
+  each team brain. Trust the resolver — inside a team's directory the
+  dotfile picks the brain, inside a subdirectory the dotfile picks the
+  source. The flags are for when you want to query across the boundary
+  deliberately.
+

+# Switching embedding models or dimensions on an existing brain
+
+GBrain stores embeddings in a fixed-dimension `vector(N)` column on
+`content_chunks`. If you switch to a model with a different dimension
+(e.g. `text-embedding-3-large` 1536 → `voyage-multilingual-large-2` 2048,
+or back to a smaller model like `nomic-embed-text` 768), the on-disk
+column type doesn't change automatically.
+
+`gbrain init` and `gbrain doctor` both detect and refuse to silently
+proceed in this case. This doc is the recipe they point at.
+
+## Why we don't do this automatically
+
+Switching dimensions requires:
+
+1. Dropping the HNSW vector index (pgvector won't survive an `ALTER COLUMN TYPE`).
+2. Altering the column type.
+3. Wiping every existing embedding (the old vectors are unusable in the new space).
+4. Re-embedding the entire corpus (can take hours on a 50K-page brain and costs $1-100 in API calls depending on model).
+5. Conditionally recreating the index (HNSW supports up to 2000 dimensions per pgvector; above that you must use exact scans).
+
+That's not an upgrade-time auto-run. It's a deliberate, expensive
+operation. Run it when you've decided you actually want the new model.
+
+## Recipe — manual `psql` against your brain
+
+Replace `<NEW_DIMS>` with your target dimension count.
+
+```sql
+BEGIN;
+
+-- 1. Drop the HNSW index. It can't survive the column type change.
+DROP INDEX IF EXISTS idx_chunks_embedding;
+
+-- 2. Alter the column type. (You can DROP COLUMN + ADD COLUMN instead
+--    if the existing data is already gone — same end state.)
+ALTER TABLE content_chunks ALTER COLUMN embedding TYPE vector(<NEW_DIMS>);
+
+-- 3. Clear stale embeddings so they don't survive into the new space.
+--    Either truncate (faster, drops all chunks) or null out (preserves
+--    chunk text so re-embed regenerates without re-chunking):
+UPDATE content_chunks SET embedding = NULL, embedded_at = NULL;
+
+-- 4. Recreate the HNSW index ONLY IF dims <= 2000. Above that, leave it
+--    indexless and rely on exact scans (gbrain searchVector handles this
+--    automatically — search just gets slower, not broken).
+-- For dims <= 2000 (e.g. 1024, 1536, 768):
+CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_chunks_embedding
+  ON content_chunks USING hnsw (embedding vector_cosine_ops);
+-- For dims > 2000 (e.g. 2048 Voyage 4 Large): skip step 4.
+
+COMMIT;
+```
+
+Then update gbrain's config so it knows the new dim:
+
+```bash
+gbrain config set embedding_model <model>
+gbrain config set embedding_dimensions <NEW_DIMS>
+```
+
+And re-embed the corpus:
+
+```bash
+gbrain embed --stale
+```
+
+## PGLite (local brain)
+
+Same recipe, but you connect to the embedded database differently:
+
+```bash
+gbrain config get database_url   # confirm engine: pglite
+# Open a psql-equivalent — for PGLite, the easiest path is to write a small
+# script that imports PGLiteEngine and runs the SQL via engine.executeRaw.
+# Or migrate to Postgres temporarily (gbrain migrate --to supabase) if you
+# want a real psql connection.
+```
+
+For most PGLite users the simpler path is to **wipe and re-init** if your
+corpus is small enough that re-syncing is faster than hand-crafting the
+migration:
+
+```bash
+mv ~/.gbrain/brain.pglite ~/.gbrain/brain.pglite.bak
+gbrain init --pglite --embedding-dimensions <NEW_DIMS>
+gbrain sync   # re-imports your brain repo from disk
+```
+
+## Verify
+
+After the recipe lands, `gbrain doctor --fast` should report green and
+`gbrain doctor` (full) should say check 8b passes:
+
+```
+✓ embedding_provider     dim parity: config 768 / column vector(768) / live probe 768
+```
+
+If it doesn't, file an issue with the doctor output and the SQL you ran.
+
+## v0.29+ plans
+
+`gbrain migrate-embedding-dim --to <N>` is a tracked TODO. It will run
+the recipe above with progress reporting + an explicit confirmation
+gate. Until that lands, this manual recipe is the canonical path.

+# Running real-world eval benchmarks against your gbrain changes
+
+Audience: gbrain maintainers and contributors. If you're touching retrieval
+(search, ranking, embeddings, intent classification, query expansion, source
+boost, hybrid fusion), this is the doc.
+
+For the **NDJSON wire format** consumed by gbrain-evals, see
+[`eval-capture.md`](./eval-capture.md). This doc is the human dev loop
+that lives on top of that format.
+
+## Prerequisite: turn on contributor mode
+
+Capture is **off by default** for production users (privacy-positive — no
+surprise data accumulation). Contributors flip it on with one line:
+
+```bash
+# In ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc:
+export GBRAIN_CONTRIBUTOR_MODE=1
+```
+
+Verify:
+
+```bash
+gbrain query "anything" >/dev/null
+psql $DATABASE_URL -c 'SELECT count(*) FROM eval_candidates'   # should be > 0
+```
+
+To override (force on/off regardless of env var), edit `~/.gbrain/config.json`:
+
+```json
+{"eval": {"capture": true}}    // force on
+{"eval": {"capture": false}}   // force off
+```
+
+Explicit config beats the env var both directions.
+
+## The 4-command loop
+
+```bash
+# ① Capture: writes to eval_candidates whenever CONTRIBUTOR_MODE is set.
+#   Inspect what's been collected:
+gbrain doctor                                     # surfaces capture failures
+psql $DATABASE_URL -c 'SELECT count(*) FROM eval_candidates'
+
+# ② Snapshot: freeze a baseline before your code change.
+gbrain eval export --since 7d > baseline.ndjson
+
+# ③ Code change: do whatever you want — tune RRF_K, swap embed model, edit
+#    hybrid.ts, add a new boost source, change the intent classifier.
+
+# ④ Replay: re-run every captured query against the current build.
+gbrain eval replay --against baseline.ndjson

+
+Output:
+
+```

+```
+
+Three numbers tell you whether the change is safe to land:
+
+| Metric | What it means | Healthy range |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Mean Jaccard@k** | Average overlap between captured retrieved slugs and current run's slugs. 1.0 = identical sets. | ≥0.85 for "neutral" changes. <0.7 means major retrieval shift. |
+| **Top-1 stability** | Fraction of queries whose #1 result didn't change. | ≥85% for tuning passes. <70% means top-of-funnel broke. |
+| **Mean latency Δ** | Current minus captured. Positive = slower now. | Within ±50ms of captured. >2× anywhere = regression alarm. |
+
+## What it actually does
+
+`gbrain eval replay` reads your NDJSON snapshot and, for each row:
+
+1. Re-executes the same op (`searchKeyword` for `tool_name='search'`,
+   `hybridSearch` for `tool_name='query'`) with the captured `detail` and
+   `expand_enabled` values threaded back in.
+2. Captures the current `retrieved_slugs` (deduped, in result order).
+3. Computes set-Jaccard between captured and current slug sets.
+4. Records top-1 match (was the #1 result the same slug?).
+5. Records latency delta vs captured `latency_ms`.
+
+It does NOT compute MRR or nDCG — those need ground-truth relevance labels,
+not a baseline comparison. For metric-against-truth eval, use
+`gbrain eval --qrels <path>` (the legacy IR-eval path, still supported). The
+replay tool answers a different question: "did my code change move
+retrieval, and which queries did it move most?"
+
+## Best-effort by design
+
+Replay is not pure. Three things can drift between capture and replay:
+
+1. **Brain state** — your brain probably has more pages now than when the
+   snapshot was taken. Unless you explicitly seed a fixed corpus, mean
+   Jaccard will drop simply because new pages are eligible.
+2. **Embedding source** — if you changed `OPENAI_API_KEY` between capture
+   and replay (or the embedding model rotated), vector-path results drift
+   even with identical code.
+3. **Capture cap** — captured `retrieved_slugs` is a deduped set; it doesn't
+   preserve internal ranking metadata. Two tools can return the same slug
+   set with different scores — Jaccard will say 1.0, but a downstream
+   consumer that orders by score may behave differently.
+
+The metrics are **regression alarms on real queries**, not a hash check.
+Pair them with manual inspection of the top regressions.
+
+## Cost
+
+Every `query` row in the snapshot embeds the query string via OpenAI to run
+the vector half of `hybridSearch`. Cost is identical to a normal `gbrain
+query` invocation — text-embedding-3-large at OpenAI list price, batched
+inside a single replay row.
+
+If you're iterating locally and don't want to pay per change, use
+`--limit 50` to cap rows replayed. The 50 most recent rows are usually
+enough to catch direction; expand for the final pre-merge run.
+
+```bash
+# Iteration mode — 50 most recent queries
+gbrain eval replay --against baseline.ndjson --limit 50
+
+# Pre-merge — full snapshot
+gbrain eval replay --against baseline.ndjson --top-regressions 20
+```
+
+## CI integration
+
+```bash
+gbrain eval replay --against baseline.ndjson --json > replay.json
+jq -e '.summary.mean_jaccard >= 0.85' replay.json || exit 1
+jq -e '.summary.top1_stability_rate >= 0.85' replay.json || exit 1
+```
+
+Stable JSON shape (schema_version: 1):
+
+```json
+{
+  "schema_version": 1,
+  "summary": {
+    "rows_total": 247,
+    "rows_replayed": 247,
+    "rows_skipped": 0,

+    "mean_latency_delta_ms": 14,
+    "rows_over_2x_latency": 0
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`--verbose` adds a `results: [...]` array with one entry per replayed row
+(useful for piping into jq or a notebook for deeper analysis).
+
+## When to run this
+
+Before merging anything that touches:
+
+- `src/core/search/hybrid.ts` (RRF, fusion, dedup, two-pass retrieval)
+- `src/core/search/source-boost.ts` / `sql-ranking.ts` (per-source ranking)
+- `src/core/search/intent.ts` (auto-detail classification)
+- `src/core/search/expansion.ts` (Haiku query expansion)
+- `src/core/search/dedup.ts` (cross-page result collapse)
+- `src/core/embedding.ts` or any embedding model swap
+- `src/core/operations.ts` `query` or `search` op handlers (capture surface)
+- `src/core/postgres-engine.ts` / `pglite-engine.ts` `searchKeyword` /
+  `searchVector` SQL
+
+Skip for: schema-only migrations, doc changes, tests-only PRs, CLI ergonomics
+that don't touch retrieval.
+
+## Building your own corpus
+
+If you don't have captured traffic yet (fresh install, can't dogfood for a
+week before merging), you can hand-author an NDJSON file:

+## `gbrain eval export` — the consumer contract
+
+```sh
+gbrain eval export [--since DUR] [--limit N] [--tool query|search]
+```
+
+Emits NDJSON to **stdout**. One JSON object per `\n`-terminated line.
+stderr receives progress heartbeats. Every line starts with
+`"schema_version": 1` so a forward-compat parser can fail loudly on
+schema v2 instead of silently misparsing.
+
+Typical usage from gbrain-evals:
+
+```sh
+# Snapshot the last week of real traffic for replay
+gbrain eval export --since 7d > brainbench-real.ndjson
+```
+
+```sh
+# Stream through jq for ad-hoc analysis
+gbrain eval export --tool query | jq -c 'select(.latency_ms > 500)'
+```
+
+## Row schema (v1)
+
+Every exported row has this shape. Field order in JSON output is not
+guaranteed; consumers MUST key by name, not position.
+
+| Field | Type | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `schema_version` | number | Always `1` on v1 rows. Forward-compat gate. |
+| `id` | number | Autoincrement primary key. Stable across exports. |
+| `tool_name` | `"query"` \| `"search"` | Which MCP operation captured this row. |
+| `query` | string | **Already PII-scrubbed** by `scrubPii` unless `eval.scrub_pii: false`. Emails / phones / SSN / Luhn-verified credit cards / JWTs / bearer tokens replaced with `[REDACTED]`. Max length 50KB (CHECK-enforced). |
+| `retrieved_slugs` | string[] | Deduplicated slugs that came back in `SearchResult[]`. |
+| `retrieved_chunk_ids` | number[] | Every chunk id in result order (duplicates preserved — one per hit). |
+| `source_ids` | string[] | Distinct `sources.id` values across the result set (v0.18 multi-source). Empty for pre-v0.18 rows that lacked the column. |
+| `expand_enabled` | boolean \| null | Whether the caller **requested** Haiku expansion. `null` for `search` (no expansion concept). |
+| `detail` | `"low"` \| `"medium"` \| `"high"` \| null | Detail level the caller **requested**. `null` when omitted. |
+| `detail_resolved` | `"low"` \| `"medium"` \| `"high"` \| null | What `hybridSearch` **actually used** after auto-detect. `null` when neither caller nor heuristic classified. |
+| `vector_enabled` | boolean | True iff vector search actually ran. `false` when `OPENAI_API_KEY` was missing or the embed call failed. **Replay MUST respect this** — rows with `false` only exercised the keyword path. |
+| `expansion_applied` | boolean | True iff Haiku expansion actually produced variants (not just "was requested"). |
+| `latency_ms` | number | Wall-clock duration of the op handler (includes capture itself — negligible since it's fire-and-forget). |
+| `remote` | boolean | `true` for MCP callers (untrusted), `false` for local CLI. Partitions "real agent traffic" from "operator probing." |
+| `job_id` | number \| null | `OperationContext.jobId` when the caller was a subagent tool-bridge. Null for MCP + CLI. |
+| `subagent_id` | number \| null | `OperationContext.subagentId` for subagent-owned runs. |
+| `created_at` | string (ISO 8601) | UTC timestamp of insert. |
+
+## Ordering + determinism
+
+`listEvalCandidates` orders by `created_at DESC, id DESC`. Same-
+millisecond inserts tie on `created_at`; `id DESC` is the stable
+tiebreaker. Replay tools can consume rows in order and assume:
+- no duplicate rows across calls with non-overlapping `--since` windows
+- no missed rows across calls that chain `--since` windows (window end
+  of run 1 is the strict upper bound, not a soft cursor)
+
+## Schema versioning promise
+
+- **v1 (shipped v0.21.0)** — this document. All fields listed above.
+- **Additive changes** increment gbrain minor version (v0.25.0, v0.23.0
+  …) and ship with new optional fields. Consumers keyed on known fields
+  ignore unknown keys and keep working.
+- **Breaking changes** (rename, type change, removal) increment
+  `schema_version` to 2. Consumers MUST branch on `schema_version` to
+  stay compatible.
+
+## `eval_capture_failures` — companion audit table
+
+Not exported by `gbrain eval export`. Surfaced via `gbrain doctor`:
+
+```sh
+gbrain doctor   # warns when failures in last 24h > 0
+```
+
+Reason enum (stable): `db_down` | `rls_reject` | `check_violation` |
+`scrubber_exception` | `other`. Cross-process visibility is the whole
+point — `gbrain doctor` runs in its own process and reads the table
+directly, so in-process counters wouldn't work.
+
+## Config + CONTRIBUTOR_MODE
+
+Capture is **off by default** as of v0.25.0 (was on for everyone in
+earlier drafts). Two paths to turn it on:
+
+**Path A — env var (contributor opt-in, the common case):**
+
+```bash
+export GBRAIN_CONTRIBUTOR_MODE=1     # in ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc
+```
+
+**Path B — explicit config (`~/.gbrain/config.json`, file-plane only):**
+
+```json
+{
+  "engine": "postgres",
+  "database_url": "...",
+  "eval": {
+    "capture": true,
+    "scrub_pii": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Resolution order (most explicit wins):
+
+1. `eval.capture: true` in config → on
+2. `eval.capture: false` in config → off (overrides CONTRIBUTOR_MODE=1)
+3. `GBRAIN_CONTRIBUTOR_MODE === '1'` → on
+4. otherwise → off
+
+`scrub_pii` defaults to `true` independent of capture. Set
+`eval.scrub_pii: false` to preserve raw query text (only if you control
+the brain's distribution).
+
+`gbrain config set eval.capture false` does **not** work — that
+command writes the DB-plane config, and the MCP server reads the
+file-plane. Edit the JSON directly or use the env var.

 99% of the time, you want the fix. Run the SQL. Re-run `gbrain doctor`. Done.
 
+## v0.26.7 — auto-RLS event trigger and one-time backfill
+
+Starting in v0.26.7 (migration v35), gbrain ships two changes that close the
+gap where a table could exist in your `public` schema without RLS for any
+amount of time at all.
+
+**1. The event trigger.** A Postgres DDL event trigger named
+`auto_rls_on_create_table` runs `ALTER TABLE … ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY`
+on every newly created `public.*` table. It covers `CREATE TABLE`,
+`CREATE TABLE AS … SELECT`, and `SELECT … INTO` — every syntax Postgres
+reports as a table-creation command. Tables created by gbrain itself, by
+your other apps sharing the same Supabase project (Baku, Hermes, anything),
+or by a human running raw SQL all get RLS enabled the moment they exist.
+Non-`public` schemas (`auth`, `storage`, `realtime`, etc.) are explicitly
+ignored — Supabase manages those, and we should not touch them.
+
+**2. The one-time backfill.** When you upgrade to v0.26.7, the migration
+walks every existing `public.*` base table whose RLS is off and whose comment
+doesn't carry the `GBRAIN:RLS_EXEMPT` exemption (see below) and enables RLS
+on each. After the upgrade, `gbrain doctor`'s `rls` check should be a no-op
+on every brain.
+
+### Breaking change: read this before upgrading
+
+If you have public tables that are intentionally RLS-off and you want them
+to stay that way, you MUST add the `GBRAIN:RLS_EXEMPT` comment **before**
+running `gbrain upgrade` to v0.26.7. The backfill flips RLS on for any public
+table that doesn't carry the exact comment contract documented below. There
+is no `--dry-run` flag on the migration.
+
+The minimum cost of getting this wrong is one round-trip: the operator runs
+the SQL to enable RLS on a table that should have been exempt, then
+`ALTER TABLE … DISABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY` and adds the exempt comment to
+prevent a re-flip on a later doctor run. No data is lost.
+
+### Cross-app implications
+
+If a non-gbrain app (Baku, Hermes, a script you wrote, anything) creates
+tables in the same Supabase project, the trigger will enable RLS on those
+tables too. Two ways to handle that:
+
+1. **The app's connection role has BYPASSRLS** (e.g. it's also using the
+   `postgres` role). Newly created tables get RLS on but the app reads/writes
+   freely because BYPASSRLS bypasses policies entirely.
+2. **The app's role does NOT have BYPASSRLS.** Then the app needs to add a
+   `CREATE POLICY` immediately after creating the table, granting itself
+   the read/write access it needs. The trigger does NOT add policies — it
+   only enables RLS, leaving the deny-by-default posture in place until the
+   app's policy lands.
+
+If neither condition holds, the app will fail to read its own freshly-created
+tables. The fix is at the app side, not gbrain's: either grant BYPASSRLS or
+ship a policy.
+
+### What if the trigger gets dropped?
+
+`gbrain doctor` includes a new `rls_event_trigger` check that verifies the
+trigger is installed and enabled. If you drop it manually for any reason
+(debugging, migration testing, anything), doctor warns and gives you the
+recovery command:
+
+```
+gbrain apply-migrations --force-retry 35
+```
+
+Re-running migration v35 is idempotent — it `DROP EVENT TRIGGER IF EXISTS`
+and recreates cleanly.
+
+### Why no FORCE ROW LEVEL SECURITY?
+
+Postgres has two RLS dials. `ENABLE` blocks anon/authenticated; `FORCE` also
+blocks the table OWNER unless they hold BYPASSRLS. We use `ENABLE` only,
+matching the posture in `src/schema.sql`, migrations v24, and v29. `FORCE`
+would lock non-BYPASSRLS apps out of their own freshly-created tables (the
+trigger function inherits the caller's role, not the gbrain role) — which
+defeats the cross-app coexistence story above. If you want defense-in-depth
+`FORCE` on a specific gbrain-owned table, add it explicitly in your own
+migration; gbrain's auto-RLS does not opt you in by default.

+# Connect GBrain to ChatGPT
+
+**Status (v0.26.0):** Unblocked. GBrain's `gbrain serve --http` ships OAuth 2.1
+with PKCE, which is the ChatGPT MCP connector's hard requirement. Before v1.0,
+this was a P0 TODO — the only major AI client that could not connect.
+
+ChatGPT does not support bearer-token MCP servers. You must use the OAuth 2.1
+HTTP server.
+
+## Setup
+
+### 1. Start the HTTP server
+
+```bash
+gbrain serve --http --port 3131
+```
+
+Save the admin bootstrap token printed on stderr. Open
+`http://localhost:3131/admin` and paste it to access the dashboard.
+
+### 2. Register a ChatGPT client
+
+ChatGPT uses the authorization code flow with PKCE (browser-based OAuth).
+Register from the `/admin` dashboard:
+
+1. Click **Register client**.
+2. Name: `chatgpt`.
+3. Grant type: `authorization_code`.
+4. Scopes: `read`, `write` (leave `admin` unchecked for ChatGPT).
+5. Redirect URI: ChatGPT's OAuth redirect (copy it from the ChatGPT
+   connector setup screen — something like
+   `https://chat.openai.com/connector_platform_oauth_redirect`).
+6. Hit **Register**. The credential-reveal modal shows the `client_id` once
+   with Copy and Download JSON buttons. There is no client secret for
+   PKCE-based public clients.
+
+Host-repo wrappers can register programmatically:
+
+```ts
+await oauthProvider.registerClientManual(
+  'chatgpt',
+  ['authorization_code'],
+  'read write',
+  ['https://chat.openai.com/connector_platform_oauth_redirect'],
+);
+```
+
+### 3. Expose the server publicly
+
+```bash
+brew install ngrok
+ngrok http 3131 --url your-brain.ngrok.app
+```
+
+Your OAuth issuer URL becomes `https://your-brain.ngrok.app`. ChatGPT's
+connector auto-discovers the spec-compliant endpoint at
+`/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server`.
+
+### 4. Add the connector in ChatGPT
+
+1. Open ChatGPT > Settings > Connectors.
+2. Click **Add connector**.
+3. MCP server URL: `https://your-brain.ngrok.app/mcp`.
+4. Client ID: the `client_id` you saved in step 2.
+5. Click **Connect**. ChatGPT opens the OAuth consent page, you approve, and
+   the connector is live.
+
+Start a new conversation and ask ChatGPT to search your brain. The MCP tool
+calls show up in the admin dashboard's live SSE feed in real time.
+
+## Scopes
+
+ChatGPT clients can request any combination of `read`, `write`, `admin`. The
+scopes granted at consent time are enforced on every tool call. Four
+operations are `localOnly` and rejected over HTTP regardless of scope:
+`sync_brain`, `file_upload`, `file_list`, `file_url`. The HTTP server fails
+closed for any attempt to reach local filesystem surface area.
+
+Recommended ChatGPT scope: `read write`. Leave `admin` for your local CLI
+and the admin dashboard.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**"Invalid redirect_uri" during the ChatGPT connector OAuth handshake**
+The registered `redirect-uri` must match ChatGPT's exactly. If ChatGPT
+rejects your server, check the admin dashboard's **Agents** table for the
+client, confirm the redirect URI matches what the error page shows, and
+re-register with the correct URI.
+
+**ChatGPT shows an MCP connection error after approval**
+Open `/admin`, watch the SSE feed, and try again. If no request arrives, the
+connector isn't reaching your ngrok URL. If a request arrives but fails,
+the Request Log tab shows the exact error.
+
+**"Unsupported grant_type" on the token endpoint**
+ChatGPT uses `authorization_code`, which the MCP SDK supports natively.
+If you see this error, verify the client was registered with
+`--grant-types authorization_code` and not `client_credentials`.

+- `src/core/operations.ts` — Contract-first operation definitions (the foundation). Also exports upload validators: `validateUploadPath`, `validatePageSlug`, `validateFilename`, plus `matchesSlugAllowList(slug, prefixes)` (v0.23 glob matcher: `<prefix>/*` matches recursive children; bare `<prefix>` matches exact only). `OperationContext.remote` flags untrusted callers; `OperationContext.allowedSlugPrefixes` (v0.23) is the trusted-workspace allow-list set by the dream cycle. `put_page` enforces: when `viaSubagent` and `allowedSlugPrefixes` is set, slug must match the allow-list; else the legacy `wiki/agents/<id>/...` namespace check applies. Auto-link enabled for trusted-workspace writes (skipped only when `remote=true && !trustedWorkspace`). As of v0.26.0, every `Operation` also carries `scope?: 'read' | 'write' | 'admin'` + `localOnly?: boolean`. All ops are annotated; `sync_brain`, `file_upload`, `file_list`, and `file_url` are `admin + localOnly` (rejected over HTTP). `OperationContext.auth?: AuthInfo` is threaded through HTTP dispatch for scope enforcement in `serve-http.ts` before the op runs. **v0.26.9 (D12 + F7b):** `OperationContext.remote` is now a REQUIRED field in the TypeScript type — the compiler is the first defense against transports that forget to set it. Four trust-boundary call sites (`put_page` allowlist, file_upload trust-narrowing, submit_job protected-name guard, auto-link skip) flipped from falsy-default (`!ctx.remote`) to fail-closed semantics (`ctx.remote === false` for "trusted-only" sites and `ctx.remote !== false` for "untrust unless explicit-false"). Anything that isn't strictly `false` is now treated as remote. Closed an HTTP MCP shell-job RCE: a `read+write`-scoped OAuth token could submit `shell` jobs because the HTTP request handler's literal context skipped `remote: true` and `submit_job`'s protected-name guard saw a falsy undefined. Stdio MCP set the field correctly via dispatch.ts; HTTP inlined a parallel context-builder for several releases and lost it.
 - `src/core/engine.ts` — Pluggable engine interface (BrainEngine). `clampSearchLimit(limit, default, cap)` takes an explicit cap so per-operation caps can be tighter than `MAX_SEARCH_LIMIT`. Exports `LinkBatchInput` / `TimelineBatchInput` for the v0.12.1 bulk-insert API (`addLinksBatch` / `addTimelineEntriesBatch`). As of v0.13.1, `BrainEngine` has a `readonly kind: 'postgres' | 'pglite'` discriminator so migrations (`src/core/migrate.ts`) and other consumers can branch on engine without `instanceof` + dynamic imports.
 - `src/core/engine-factory.ts` — Engine factory with dynamic imports (`'pglite'` | `'postgres'`)
 - `src/core/pglite-engine.ts` — PGLite (embedded Postgres 17.5 via WASM) implementation, all 40 BrainEngine methods. `addLinksBatch` / `addTimelineEntriesBatch` use multi-row `unnest()` with manual `$N` placeholders. As of v0.13.1, `connect()` wraps `PGlite.create()` in a try/catch that emits an actionable error naming the macOS 26.3 WASM bug (#223) and pointing at `gbrain doctor`; the lock is released on failure so the next process can retry cleanly. v0.22.0: `searchKeyword` and `searchKeywordChunks` multiply `ts_rank` by the source-factor CASE expression at the chunk-grain level; `searchVector` becomes a two-stage CTE — inner CTE keeps `ORDER BY cc.embedding <=> vec` so HNSW stays usable, outer SELECT re-ranks by `raw_score * source_factor`. Inner LIMIT scales with offset to preserve pagination contract. As of v0.22.6.1, `initSchema()` calls `applyForwardReferenceBootstrap()` BEFORE replaying SCHEMA_SQL — probes for the specific forward-referenced state the embedded schema blob needs (`pages.source_id`, `links.link_source`, `links.origin_page_id`, `content_chunks.symbol_name`, `content_chunks.language`, `sources` FK target table) and adds only what's missing. Closes the upgrade-wedge bug class that bit users 10+ times across 6 schema versions over 2 years (#239/#243/#266/#357/#366/#374/#375/#378/#395/#396). No-op on fresh installs and modern brains.
 - `src/core/pglite-schema.ts` — PGLite-specific DDL (pgvector, pg_trgm, triggers)
-- `src/core/postgres-engine.ts` — Postgres + pgvector implementation (Supabase / self-hosted). `addLinksBatch` / `addTimelineEntriesBatch` use `INSERT ... SELECT FROM unnest($1::text[], ...) JOIN pages ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING RETURNING 1` — 4-5 array params regardless of batch size, sidesteps the 65535-parameter cap. As of v0.12.3, `searchKeyword` / `searchVector` scope `statement_timeout` via `sql.begin` + `SET LOCAL` so the GUC dies with the transaction instead of leaking across the pooled postgres.js connection (contributed by @garagon). `getEmbeddingsByChunkIds` uses `tryParseEmbedding` so one corrupt row skips+warns instead of killing the query. v0.22.0: `searchKeyword`, `searchKeywordChunks`, and `searchVector` apply source-aware ranking by inlining the source-factor CASE and `NOT (col LIKE …)` hard-exclude clause from `src/core/search/sql-ranking.ts`. `searchVector` switches to a two-stage CTE (HNSW-safe inner ORDER BY, source-boost re-rank in the outer SELECT) and carries `p.source_id` through inner→outer for v0.18 multi-source callers. v0.22.1 (#406): `_savedConfig` retains the connect config; `reconnect()` tears down + recreates the pool from saved config (called by supervisor watchdog after 3 consecutive health-check failures). `executeRaw` is a single-statement passthrough — no per-call retry (D3 dropped that as unsound for non-idempotent statements; recovery is supervisor-driven). v0.22.1 (#363, contributed by @orendi84): `connect()` applies `resolveSessionTimeouts()` from `db.ts` as connection-time startup parameters (`statement_timeout`, `idle_in_transaction_session_timeout`) so orphan pgbouncer backends can't hold locks for hours. v0.22.1 (#409, contributed by @atrevino47): `countStaleChunks()` + `listStaleChunks()` server-side-filter on `embedding IS NULL` for `embed --stale`, eliminating ~76 MB/call client-side pull on a fully-embedded brain; `upsertChunks()` resets both `embedding` AND `embedded_at` to NULL when chunk_text changes without a new embedding (consistency). As of v0.22.6.1, `initSchema()` calls `applyForwardReferenceBootstrap()` BEFORE replaying SCHEMA_SQL on the same forward-reference probe set as the PGLite engine, so old Postgres brains pinned at v0.13/v0.18/v0.19 walk forward cleanly instead of wedging on `column "..." does not exist`.

New `_connectionStyle` instance field tracks whether the engine owns its pool (worker engines) or shares the module-level singleton; second call on an instance-pool engine is a no-op rather than falling through to `db.disconnect()` and clobbering the singleton. Pinned by `test/e2e/postgres-engine-disconnect-idempotency.test.ts` (2 cases). Closes the bug class where any test sharing an engine across multiple `worker.start()` / `worker.stop()` cycles silently broke its own DB connectivity.

Replaces bare `catch {}` blocks in `oauth-provider.ts` so genuine errors (lock timeout, network blip, permission denied) propagate while column-missing falls through to the legacy fallback path. Reusable from any future code that needs the same column-existence probe semantics.
 - `src/core/db.ts` — Connection management, schema initialization. v0.22.1 (#363, contributed by @orendi84): `resolveSessionTimeouts()` returns `statement_timeout` + `idle_in_transaction_session_timeout` (defaults: 5min each, env-overridable via `GBRAIN_STATEMENT_TIMEOUT` / `GBRAIN_IDLE_TX_TIMEOUT` / `GBRAIN_CLIENT_CHECK_INTERVAL`). Both `connect()` (module singleton) and `PostgresEngine.connect()` (worker pool) consume the result via postgres.js's `connection` option, sending GUCs as startup parameters that survive PgBouncer transaction mode (unlike the prior `setSessionDefaults` post-pool SET, kept as a back-compat no-op shim).

+- `src/commands/eval.ts` — `gbrain eval` command: single-run table + A/B config comparison. v0.25.0 adds sub-subcommand dispatch on `args[0]` so `gbrain eval export` + `gbrain eval prune` + `gbrain eval replay` route into session-capture handlers; bare `gbrain eval --qrels …` fall-through preserves the legacy IR-metrics flow. v0.27.x adds `gbrain eval cross-modal` to the dispatch (the user-facing path is the cli.ts no-DB branch — `src/commands/eval.ts:cross-modal` only fires when callers re-enter with an existing engine).
+- `src/commands/eval-cross-modal.ts` (v0.27.x) — multi-model quality gate. Three different-provider frontier models score the OUTPUT against the TASK on a 5-dim list. Verdict `pass` (exit 0) / `fail` (exit 1) / `inconclusive` (exit 2; <2/3 model successes per Q3=A in plans/radiant-napping-lerdorf.md). Reuses `src/core/ai/gateway.ts:chat()` so config/auth/aliasing comes from the gateway recipe registry — no parallel provider stack. Self-configures the gateway (`configureGateway(loadConfig() + process.env)`) since the cli.ts dispatch bypasses `connectEngine()`. Default cycles 3 in TTY, 1 in non-TTY (T11=B partial cost guardrail). Receipts land at `gbrainPath('eval-receipts')/<slug>-<sha8-of-output>.json`. The full `--budget-usd` cap is a v0.27.x follow-up TODO.

Adversarial input throws rather than fabricating scores — the aggregator treats a throw as "this model contributed nothing this cycle" so the gate stays correct at >=2/3 successes.
+- `src/core/cross-modal-eval/aggregate.ts` (v0.27.x) — pure verdict logic. Pass criterion: `(successes >= 2) AND (every dim mean >= 7) AND (every dim min across models >= 5)` (Q2=A floor). Inconclusive when <2/3 models returned parseable scores (Q3=A regression guard for the v1 .mjs `Object.values({}).every(...) === true` empty-array PASS bug).
+- `src/core/cross-modal-eval/runner.ts` (v0.27.x) — orchestrator. Each cycle runs `Promise.allSettled([gwChat(slotA), gwChat(slotB), gwChat(slotC)])` (T4=A — bare allSettled, no rate-leases for the CLI path; minion-integration TODO recovers cross-process concurrency). Stops early on PASS or INCONCLUSIVE; runs up to 3 cycles.

+- `src/commands/eval-replay.ts` (v0.25.0) — contributor-facing replay tool. Reads NDJSON from `gbrain eval export`, re-runs each captured `query` / `search` op against the current brain, computes set-Jaccard@k between captured + current `retrieved_slugs`, top-1 stability rate, and latency Δ. Stable JSON shape (`schema_version: 1`) for CI gating; human mode prints a regression table. Pure Bun, zero new deps.

Fire-and-forget; failures route to `engine.logEvalCaptureFailure` so `gbrain doctor` sees drops cross-process. **Capture is off by default** — `isEvalCaptureEnabled` resolution: explicit `config.eval.capture` (true/false) wins, else `process.env.GBRAIN_CONTRIBUTOR_MODE === '1'`, else off.

+- `src/core/embedding.ts` — OpenAI text-embedding-3-large, batch, retry, backoff. **v0.28.7:** `BATCH_SIZE` reverted 50→100 — the original Voyage safety guard halved OpenAI throughput on every page. Per-recipe pre-split + recursive halving + adaptive shrink-on-miss now live in the gateway, so the outer paginator goes back to its original purpose: progress-callback granularity, not batch protection.
+- `src/core/ai/types.ts` — provider/recipe types. **v0.28.7 (#680):** `EmbeddingTouchpoint` extended with optional `chars_per_token` (default 4 chars/token, matching OpenAI tiktoken on English) and `safety_factor` (default 0.8, budget-utilization ceiling). Both consulted only when `max_batch_tokens` is also set. Voyage declares `chars_per_token=1` + `safety_factor=0.5` to handle dense payloads (CJK/JSON/base64) that overshoot tiktoken. The pre-split budget is `max_batch_tokens × safety_factor / chars_per_token`.
+- `src/core/ai/gateway.ts` — unified seam for every AI call. **v0.28.7 (#680):** module-scoped `_embedTransport` defaulting to AI SDK `embedMany`, with `__setEmbedTransportForTests(fn)` test seam so tests drive the public `embed()` function with a stubbed transport instead of probing private helpers. `splitByTokenBudget` and `isTokenLimitError` are now exported `@internal` — pure functions reused directly by the test file. Module-level `_shrinkState: Map<recipeId, {factor, consecutiveSuccesses}>` halves the recipe's effective `safety_factor` on token-limit miss (floor 0.05) and heals back ×1.5 toward the ceiling after `SHRINK_HEAL_AFTER=10` consecutive successes. `configureGateway()` walks every registered recipe at construction time and emits a once-per-process stderr warning for any embedding touchpoint missing `max_batch_tokens` (excluding the canonical OpenAI fast-path recipe). `resetGateway()` clears `_shrinkState`, the warned-set, and restores the real transport. ASCII flow diagram embedded in the `embed()` JSDoc covers the routing decision, recursion + halving, and shrinkState lifecycle.
+- `src/core/ai/recipes/voyage.ts` — Voyage AI openai-compatible recipe. **v0.28.7 (#680):** declares `chars_per_token=1` + `safety_factor=0.5` so the gateway pre-splits Voyage batches at a 60K-character budget (50% of 120K-token cap with the dense-tokenizer ratio). Closes the v0.27 backfill loop where ~26% of the corpus stayed un-embedded because tiktoken-grounded budgeting silently undercounted Voyage's actual token usage.
 - `src/core/check-resolvable.ts` — Resolver validation: reachability, MECE overlap, DRY checks, structured fix objects. v0.14.1: `CROSS_CUTTING_PATTERNS.conventions` is an array (notability gate accepts both `conventions/quality.md` and `_brain-filing-rules.md`). New `extractDelegationTargets()` parses `> **Convention:**`, `> **Filing rule:**`, and inline backtick references. DRY suppression is proximity-based via `DRY_PROXIMITY_LINES = 40`.
 - `src/core/repo-root.ts` — Shared `findRepoRoot(startDir?)` (v0.16.4): walks up from `startDir` (default `process.cwd()`) looking for `skills/RESOLVER.md`. Zero-dependency module imported by both `doctor.ts` and `check-resolvable.ts`. Parameterized `startDir` makes tests hermetic.
 - `src/commands/check-resolvable.ts` — Standalone CLI wrapper (v0.16.4) over `checkResolvable()`. Exports `parseFlags`, `resolveSkillsDir`, `DEFERRED`, `runCheckResolvable`. Exit rule: **1 on any issue (warnings OR errors)**, stricter than doctor's `ok` flag — honors README:259. Stable JSON envelope `{ok, skillsDir, report, autoFix, deferred, error, message}` — same shape on success and error paths. `--fix` path runs `autoFixDryViolations` BEFORE `checkResolvable` (same ordering as doctor). `scripts/skillify-check.ts` subprocess-calls `gbrain check-resolvable --json` (cached per process) and fails loud on binary-missing — no silent false-pass. **v0.19:** AGENTS.md workspaces now resolve natively (see `src/core/resolver-filenames.ts`) — gbrain inspects the 107-skill OpenClaw deployment whether the routing file is `RESOLVER.md` or `AGENTS.md`. `DEFERRED[]` is empty — Checks 5 + 6 shipped as real code, not issue URLs.
 - `src/core/resolver-filenames.ts` (v0.19) — central list of accepted routing filenames (`RESOLVER.md`, `AGENTS.md`). Shared by `findRepoRoot`, `check-resolvable`, and skillpack install so every code path walks the same fallback chain.
 - `src/commands/skillify.ts` + `src/core/skillify/{generator,templates}.ts` (v0.19) — `gbrain skillify scaffold <name>` creates all stubs for a new skill in one command: SKILL.md, script, tests, routing-eval.jsonl, resolver entry, filing-rules pointer. `gbrain skillify check <script>` runs the 10-step checklist (LLM evals, routing evals, check-resolvable gate, filing audit) against a candidate skill before it lands.
 - `src/commands/skillify-check.ts` (v0.19) — `gbrain skillpack-check` agent-readable health report. Exit 0/1/2 for CI pipeline gating; JSON for debugging. Wraps `check-resolvable --json`, `doctor --json`, and migration ledger into one payload so agents can decide whether a human action is required.
-- `src/commands/skillpack.ts` + `src/core/skillpack/{bundle,installer}.ts` (v0.19) — `gbrain skillpack install` drops gbrain's curated 25-skill bundle into a host workspace, managed-block style. Never clobbers local edits; tracks a skill manifest so subsequent `install --update` diffs cleanly. Bundle builder (`skillpack/bundle.ts`) packages the set from `skills/` into a versioned payload.
+- `src/commands/book-mirror.ts` (v0.25.1) — `gbrain book-mirror --chapters-dir <path> --slug <slug> [flags]`. Flagship of the v0.25.1 skills wave. Submits N read-only subagent jobs (one per chapter; `allowed_tools: ['get_page', 'search']`), waits for all via `waitForCompletion`, reads each child's `job.result`, assembles two-column markdown CLI-side, writes a single operator-trust `put_page` to `media/books/<slug>-personalized.md`. Codex HIGH-1 fix applied: trust narrowing happens at the tool-allowlist layer (subagents can't call put_page) instead of allowedSlugPrefixes — untrusted EPUB content cannot prompt-inject any people page. Cost-estimate prompt before launching; refuses to spend in non-TTY without `--yes`. Per-chapter idempotency keys (`book-mirror:<slug>:ch-<N>`) for retry-friendly re-runs. Partial-failure handling: assembles with completed chapters and a `## Failed chapters` section listing retries. Test surface: `test/book-mirror.test.ts` (9 cases — CLI registration + source invariants).
+- `src/commands/skillpack.ts` + `src/core/skillpack/{bundle,installer}.ts` (v0.19) — `gbrain skillpack install` drops gbrain's curated 25-skill bundle into a host workspace, managed-block style. Never clobbers local edits; tracks a skill manifest so subsequent `install --update` diffs cleanly. Bundle builder (`skillpack/bundle.ts`) packages the set from `skills/` into a versioned payload. **v0.24.0:** managed block embeds a `<!-- gbrain:skillpack:manifest cumulative-slugs="..." version="..." -->` receipt inside the fence. Per-skill installs accumulate via `union(prior_receipt, this_call)`; `install --all` is the only path that prunes (drops slugs no longer in the bundle). Rows inside the fence whose slug is in neither the new cumulative set nor the bundle survive as user-added with a stderr `[skillpack] unknown row in managed block: "<slug>" — Investigate: ...` warning. Pre-v0.24 fences upgrade silently on first install (extracted slugs become the prior cumulative set). **v0.25.1:** `gbrain skillpack uninstall <name>` lands as a real CLI subcommand. Inverse of install with symmetric data-loss posture: D8 refuses if the slug isn't in the cumulative-slugs receipt (won't nuke a hand-added row); D11 content-hash guard refuses if any installed file diverges from the bundle (you've edited it locally) unless `--overwrite-local` is passed. `applyUninstall` enforces an atomic-refusal contract: pre-scans ALL files for divergence; refuses BEFORE any unlink fires if anything is blocked. The bug fix landed via `test/skillpack-uninstall.test.ts`'s D11 case — the test was written with the contract in mind, the original implementation interleaved hash-check + unlink, and the lie surfaced immediately.
+- `src/core/archive-crawler-config.ts` (v0.25.1) — D12 + codex HIGH-4 safety gate for the `archive-crawler` skill. Refuses to run unless `archive-crawler.scan_paths:` is explicitly set in the brain repo's `gbrain.yml`. Mirrors the storage-config.ts parsing pattern (sibling file; separate concern from storage tiering). `loadArchiveCrawlerConfig(repoPath)` throws `ArchiveCrawlerConfigError(missing_section | empty_scan_paths | invalid_path | parse_error)`. `normalizeAndValidateArchiveCrawlerConfig` rejects relative paths and `..` traversal; `~` is expanded; trailing-slash normalized for unambiguous prefix matching. `isPathAllowed(candidate, config)` is the runtime per-file gate (scan_paths prefix-match with directory-boundary correctness; deny_paths overrides). Tests in `test/archive-crawler-config.test.ts` (19 cases).
+- `test/helpers/cli-pty-runner.ts` (v0.25.1) — generic real-PTY harness ported from gstack and trimmed to ~470 lines. Uses pure `Bun.spawn({terminal:})` (Bun 1.3.10+; engines.bun pin in package.json). Generic primitives only — no plan-mode orchestrators. Exports: `launchPty`, `resolveBinary`, `stripAnsi`, `parseNumberedOptions`, `optionsSignature`, `isNumberedOptionListVisible`, `isTrustDialogVisible`. Self-tests in `test/cli-pty-runner.test.ts` (24 cases).
 - `src/core/skill-manifest.ts` (v0.19) — parser for `skill-manifest.json` records. Used by skillpack installer to detect drift between the shipped bundle and the user's local edits, so updates merge instead of overwriting.
-- `src/commands/routing-eval.ts` + `src/core/routing-eval.ts` (v0.19) — `gbrain routing-eval` catches user phrasings that route to the wrong skill. Reads `skills/<name>/routing-eval.jsonl` fixtures (`{intent, expected_skill, ambiguous_with?}`). Structural layer runs in `check-resolvable` by default (zero API cost); `--llm` opts into a Haiku tie-break layer for CI. False positives surface before users hit them.

Reads `skills/<name>/routing-eval.jsonl` fixtures (`{intent, expected_skill, ambiguous_with?}`). Structural layer runs in `check-resolvable` by default (zero API cost). The `--llm` flag is accepted as a placeholder for a future LLM tie-break layer; in v0.24.0 it emits a stderr notice and runs structural only. False positives surface before users hit them.
 - `src/core/filing-audit.ts` + `skills/_brain-filing-rules.json` (v0.19) — Check 6 of `check-resolvable`. Parses new `writes_pages:` / `writes_to:` frontmatter on skills and audits their filing claims against the filing-rules JSON. Warning-only in v0.19, upgrades to error in v0.20.
 - `src/core/dry-fix.ts` — `gbrain doctor --fix` engine. `autoFixDryViolations(fixes, {dryRun})` rewrites inlined rules to `> **Convention:** see [path](path).` callouts via three shape-aware expanders (bullet / blockquote / paragraph). Five guards: working-tree-dirty (`getWorkingTreeStatus()` returns 3-state `'clean' | 'dirty' | 'not_a_repo'`), no-git-backup, inside-code-fence, already-delegated (40-line proximity, consistent with detector), ambiguous-multi-match, block-is-callout. `execFileSync` array args (no shell — no injection surface). EOF newline preserved.

As of v0.12.1 there is no in-memory dedup pre-load — candidates are buffered 100 at a time and flushed via `addLinksBatch` / `addTimelineEntriesBatch`; `ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING` enforces uniqueness at the DB layer, and the `created` counter returns real rows inserted (truthful on re-runs). v0.22.1 (#417): `ExtractOpts.slugs?: string[]` enables incremental extract — when set, `extractForSlugs()` reads ONLY those slugs' files (single combined links+timeline pass) instead of the full directory walk. CLI `gbrain extract` keeps full-walk behavior; the cycle path threads sync's `pagesAffected` through. `walkMarkdownFiles(brainDir)` still runs at line 455 to build `allSlugs` for link resolution — see `TODOS.md` for replacing it with `engine.getAllSlugs()`.

Bun (like Node) only auto-reaps when a SIGCHLD listener is registered; without it, every child the worker spawns (shell jobs, embed batches, sub-agents) becomes a zombie on exit and holds connection slots. Called once at module load from `src/cli.ts` (with Windows platform guard — SIGCHLD doesn't exist on Windows). Cross-file leak guard via `_uninstallSigchldHandlerForTests()` for tests. Layer 1 of the three-layer zombie defense; Layer 2 is tini-as-PID-1 wrapping the worker subtree (via `src/core/minions/spawn-helpers.ts`); Layer 3 is the container's own tini for hard Bun crashes.

Resolves the DRY violation between the two spawn sites and makes the tini wrapping testable without `mock.module()` (rule R2 of `scripts/check-test-isolation.sh`). `detectTini()` calls `execFileSync('which', ['tini'])` with explicit `env: process.env` so Bun sees runtime PATH mutations (the env-snapshot bug fix). `buildSpawnInvocation(tiniPath, cmd, args)` returns `{cmd, args}` with tini prepended when present, or the bare invocation otherwise. Pinned by `test/spawn-helpers.test.ts` (5 cases) and `test/supervisor-tini.test.ts` (4 cases).

+- `src/commands/autopilot.ts` — `gbrain autopilot --install`: self-maintaining brain daemon (sync+extract+embed). **v0.28.1:** consumes `detectTini()` from `src/core/minions/spawn-helpers.ts` and resolves it once at startup instead of per worker respawn (was paying an `execFileSync` cost on every restart).
 - `src/mcp/server.ts` — MCP stdio server (generated from operations). v0.22.7: tool-call handler delegates to `dispatchToolCall` from `src/mcp/dispatch.ts` so stdio + HTTP transports share one validation, context-build, and error-format path.
-- `src/mcp/dispatch.ts` (v0.22.7) — Shared tool-call dispatch consumed by both stdio (`server.ts`) and HTTP (`http-transport.ts`). Exports `dispatchToolCall(engine, name, params, opts)`, `buildOperationContext(engine, params, opts)`, and `validateParams(op, params)`. Single source of truth for `(ctx, params)` handler arg order and the 5-field `OperationContext` shape (engine + config + logger + dryRun + remote). Defaults to `remote: true` (untrusted); local CLI callers pass `remote: false`. Closed F1 (reversed handler args) + F2 (incomplete OperationContext) + F3 (no param validation) drift bugs in the original v0.22.5 HTTP transport.
-- `src/mcp/rate-limit.ts` (v0.22.7) — Bounded-LRU token-bucket limiter for `gbrain serve --http`. `buildDefaultLimiters()` returns the two-bucket pipeline used by http-transport: pre-auth IP (default 30/60s, fires BEFORE the DB lookup so brute-force load against `access_tokens` is actually capped) + post-auth token-id (default 60/60s). Tracks `lastTouchedMs` separately from `lastRefillMs` so an exhausted key can't be reset by hammering past the TTL. LRU cap (default 10K keys) bounds memory under attacker-controlled key growth; TTL prune at 2× window evicts abandoned buckets.
-- `src/mcp/http-transport.ts` (v0.22.7, rewrite) — `gbrain serve --http` HTTP transport. Postgres-only — fails fast at startup on PGLite (the `access_tokens` table only exists on Postgres). Bearer auth against SHA-256 hashes in `access_tokens`. CORS default-deny via `GBRAIN_HTTP_CORS_ORIGIN` allowlist. Body cap stream-counted (1 MiB default via `GBRAIN_HTTP_MAX_BODY_BYTES`) so chunked transfers without Content-Length still hit the cap. `last_used_at` SQL-level debounce (one UPDATE per token per 60s). Per-request audit row in `mcp_request_log` with token_name + operation + status + latency. Optional `GBRAIN_HTTP_TRUST_PROXY=1` honors `X-Forwarded-For` — only safe when bound to a private interface AND the proxy strips client-supplied XFF (otherwise enables IP spoofing past the pre-auth rate limit). `/health` does `SELECT 1` against Postgres and returns 503 + `status:unhealthy` when the DB is unreachable so orchestration doesn't see green pods while clients get misleading 401s. Replaces the standalone OAuth wrapper that was vulnerable to unauthenticated client registration.
-- `src/commands/auth.ts` — Token management for the HTTP transport. `gbrain auth create/list/revoke/test`. As of v0.22.7 wired into the main CLI (`src/cli.ts`); also runs standalone via `bun run src/commands/auth.ts ...` for environments without a compiled binary. Tokens stored as SHA-256 hashes in `access_tokens` (Postgres-only).
+- `src/mcp/dispatch.ts` (v0.22.7) — Shared tool-call dispatch consumed by both stdio (`server.ts`) and HTTP transports. Exports `dispatchToolCall(engine, name, params, opts)`, `buildOperationContext(engine, params, opts)`, and `validateParams(op, params)`. Single source of truth for `(ctx, params)` handler arg order and the 5-field `OperationContext` shape (engine + config + logger + dryRun + remote). Defaults to `remote: true` (untrusted); local CLI callers pass `remote: false`. Closed F1/F2/F3 drift bugs in the original v0.22.5 HTTP transport. **v0.26.9 (F8):** adds `summarizeMcpParams(opName, params)` — privacy-preserving redactor for `mcp_request_log` and the admin SSE feed. Returns `{redacted, kind, declared_keys, unknown_key_count, approx_bytes}`. Intersects submitted top-level keys against the operation's declared `params` allow-list (declared keys preserved as a sorted array for debug visibility; unknown keys counted but never named, closing the attacker-controlled-key-name leak). Byte counts bucketed up to nearest 1KB so an attacker can't binary-search secret-content sizes via repeated probes. Operators on a personal laptop who want raw payload visibility opt back in with `gbrain serve --http --log-full-params` (loud stderr warning at startup). Canonical helper — new logging code paths route through it rather than `JSON.stringify(params)`.
+- `src/mcp/rate-limit.ts` (v0.22.7) — Bounded-LRU token-bucket limiter. `buildDefaultLimiters()` returns the two-bucket pipeline: pre-auth IP (30/60s, fires BEFORE the DB lookup so brute-force load against `access_tokens` is actually capped) + post-auth token-id (60/60s). Tracks `lastTouchedMs` separately from `lastRefillMs` so an exhausted key can't be reset by hammering past the TTL. LRU cap bounds memory under attacker-controlled key growth.
+- `src/commands/serve-http.ts` (v0.26.0) — Express 5 HTTP MCP server with OAuth 2.1, admin dashboard, and SSE live activity feed. Started via `gbrain serve --http [--port N] [--token-ttl N] [--enable-dcr] [--public-url URL] [--log-full-params]`. Supersedes the v0.22.7 `src/mcp/http-transport.ts` simple bearer-auth path. Combines MCP SDK's `mcpAuthRouter` (authorize / token / register / revoke endpoints), a custom `client_credentials` handler (SDK's token endpoint throws `UnsupportedGrantTypeError` for CC; the custom handler runs BEFORE the router and falls through for `auth_code` / `refresh_token`), `requireBearerAuth` middleware for `/mcp` with scope enforcement before op dispatch, `localOnly` rejection, and `express-rate-limit` at 50 req / 15 min on `/token`. Serves the built admin SPA from `admin/dist/` with SPA fallback. `/admin/events` SSE endpoint broadcasts every MCP request to connected admin browsers. `cookie-parser` middleware wired (Express 5 has no built-in). Startup logging prints port, engine, configured issuer URL (honors `--public-url`), registered-client count, DCR status, and admin bootstrap token. **v0.26.9 hardening pass:** F7 sets `remote: true` explicitly on the `/mcp` request handler's OperationContext literal (closes the HTTP shell-job RCE — without this, `submit_job`'s protected-name guard at `operations.ts:1391` saw a falsy undefined and skipped, letting a `read+write`-scoped OAuth token submit `shell` jobs). F8 wires `summarizeMcpParams` from `src/mcp/dispatch.ts` into both `mcp_request_log` writes and the admin SSE feed by default (raw payloads opt-in via `--log-full-params` with stderr warning). F9 sets cookie `Secure` flag when behind HTTPS or a public-URL proxy. F10 caps the magic-link nonce store with an LRU bound. F12 routes DCR disable through the `GBrainOAuthProvider` constructor's `dcrDisabled` option instead of the prior monkey-patch on the express router. F14 wraps `transport.handleRequest` in try/catch so SDK throws return a JSON-RPC 500 envelope instead of express's default HTML error page. F15 unifies OperationError + unexpected exceptions through `buildError` / `serializeError` so `/mcp` always returns the same envelope shape. **v0.28.1:** `/health` endpoint extracted into pure `probeHealth(engine)` async function with `HEALTH_TIMEOUT_MS = 3000` exported constant — drops the timeout from 5s to 3s so Fly.io's 5s health-check deadline gets 2s of headroom for TCP, response framing, and clock skew. Races `engine.getStats()` against the timeout via `Promise.race`; saturated pool returns 503 with `Health check timed out (database pool may be saturated)` instead of hanging. `clearTimeout` in finally block prevents pending-timer pile-up under high probe rates (race-leak fix from adversarial review).
+- `src/core/oauth-provider.ts` (v0.26.0) — `GBrainOAuthProvider` implementing the MCP SDK's `OAuthServerProvider` + `OAuthRegisteredClientsStore` interfaces. Backed by raw SQL (works on both PGLite and Postgres — OAuth is infrastructure, not a BrainEngine concern). Full OAuth 2.1 spec: `authorize` + `exchangeAuthorizationCode` with PKCE (for ChatGPT), `client_credentials` (for Perplexity / Claude), `refresh_token` with rotation, `revokeToken`, `registerClient` (DCR path validates redirect_uri must be `https://` or loopback per RFC 6749 §3.1.2.1). All tokens + client secrets SHA-256 hashed before storage. Auth codes single-use with 10-minute TTL via atomic `DELETE...RETURNING` (closes RFC 6749 §10.5 TOCTOU race). Refresh rotation also `DELETE...RETURNING` (closes §10.4 stolen-token detection bypass). `pgArray()` escapes commas/quotes/braces in elements so a comma-bearing redirect_uri can't smuggle a second array element. Legacy `access_tokens` fallback in `verifyAccessToken` grandfathers pre-v0.26 bearer tokens as `read+write+admin`. `sweepExpiredTokens()` runs on startup wrapped in try/catch. **v0.26.9 RFC 6749/7009 hardening pass:** F1+F2 fold `client_id` atomically into the `DELETE WHERE` clauses for both auth-code exchange and refresh rotation — pre-fix the post-hoc client compare burned the row on wrong-client paths so the legitimate client couldn't retry. F3 enforces refresh-scope-subset against the original grant on the row (RFC 6749 §6), not the client's currently-allowed scopes — fixes the case where revoking a scope from a client wouldn't shrink the agent's existing refresh tokens. F4 binds `client_id` on `revokeToken` so a client can only revoke its own tokens (RFC 7009 §2.1). F7c validates the `/token` request's `redirect_uri` against the value stored at `/authorize` (RFC 6749 §4.1.3) — empty-string treated as missing rather than wildcard match (adversarial-review fix). F5 swaps bare `catch {}` blocks in `verifyAccessToken` and `getClient` for `isUndefinedColumnError` from `src/core/utils.ts` — only SQLSTATE 42703 falls through to legacy fallback; lock timeouts and network blips throw and surface. F6 makes `sweepExpiredTokens()` actually return the count via `RETURNING 1` + array length, not a fire-and-forget zero. F12 adds `dcrDisabled` constructor option so `serve-http.ts` can disable the `/register` endpoint without monkey-patching the router. **v0.26.2:** module-private `coerceTimestamp()` boundary helper at the top of the file normalizes postgres-driver-as-string BIGINT columns to JS numbers at every read site (5 call sites: `getClient` L112+L113 for DCR `/register` RFC 7591 §3.2.1 numeric timestamps, `exchangeRefreshToken` L274 + `verifyAccessToken` L296+L303 for the SDK's `typeof === 'number'` bearerAuth check). Throws on non-finite input (NaN/Infinity) so corrupt rows fail loud at the boundary instead of riding through as `expiresAt: NaN`; returns undefined for SQL NULL so callers decide NULL semantics explicitly (refresh + access token paths treat NULL as expired). Helper intentionally NOT promoted to `src/core/utils.ts` — codex review flagged repo-wide BIGINT precision-loss risk for a generic helper.
+- `admin/` (v0.26.0) — React 19 + Vite + TypeScript admin SPA embedded in the binary via `admin/dist/` served by `serve-http.ts`. 7 screens: Login (bootstrap token → session cookie), Dashboard (metrics + SSE feed + token health), Agents (sortable table + sparklines + Register button), Register (modal with scope checkboxes + grant type selector), Credentials reveal (full-screen modal with Copy + Download JSON + yellow one-time-only warning), Request Log (filterable paginated), Agent Detail drawer (Details / Activity / Config Export tabs + Revoke). Design tokens: `#0a0a0f` bg, Inter for UI, JetBrains Mono for data, 4-32px spacing scale, rounded pill badges. HTTP-only SameSite=Strict cookie auth. 65KB gzip. Build: `cd admin && bun install && bun run build`; output at `admin/dist/` is committed for self-contained binaries.
+- `src/commands/auth.ts` — Token management. `gbrain auth create/list/revoke/test` for legacy bearer tokens (v0.22.7 wired as a first-class CLI subcommand) plus `gbrain auth register-client` (v0.26.0) and `gbrain auth revoke-client <client_id>` (v0.26.2) for OAuth 2.1 client lifecycle. `revoke-client` runs an atomic `DELETE...RETURNING` on `oauth_clients`; FK `ON DELETE CASCADE` on `oauth_tokens.client_id` and `oauth_codes.client_id` purges every active token + authorization code in a single transaction. `process.exit(1)` on no-such-client (idempotent — re-running on the same id produces the same exit-1 message). Legacy tokens stored as SHA-256 hashes in `access_tokens`; OAuth clients in `oauth_clients`. As of v0.26.0, legacy tokens grandfather to `read+write+admin` scopes on the OAuth HTTP server, so pre-v0.26 deployments keep working with no migration.
 - `src/commands/upgrade.ts` — Self-update CLI. `runPostUpgrade()` enumerates migrations from the TS registry (src/commands/migrations/index.ts) and tail-calls `runApplyMigrations(['--yes', '--non-interactive'])` so the mechanical side of every outstanding migration runs unconditionally.
 - `src/commands/migrations/` — TS migration registry (compiled into the binary; no filesystem walk of `skills/migrations/*.md` needed at runtime). `index.ts` lists migrations in semver order. `v0_11_0.ts` = Minions adoption orchestrator (8 phases). `v0_12_0.ts` = Knowledge Graph auto-wire orchestrator (5 phases: schema → config check → backfill links → backfill timeline → verify). `phaseASchema` has a 600s timeout (bumped from 60s in v0.12.1 for duplicate-heavy brains). `v0_12_2.ts` = JSONB double-encode repair orchestrator (4 phases: schema → repair-jsonb → verify → record). `v0_14_0.ts` = shell-jobs + autopilot cooperative (2 phases: schema ALTER minion_jobs.max_stalled SET DEFAULT 3 — superseded by v0.14.3's schema-level DEFAULT 5 + UPDATE backfill; pending-host-work ping for skills/migrations/v0.14.0.md). All orchestrators are idempotent and resumable from `partial` status. As of v0.14.2 (Bug 3), the RUNNER owns all ledger writes — orchestrators return `OrchestratorResult` and `apply-migrations.ts` persists a canonical `{version, status, phases}` shape after return. Orchestrators no longer call `appendCompletedMigration` directly. `statusForVersion` prefers `complete` over `partial` (never regresses). 3 consecutive partials → wedged → `--force-retry <version>` writes a `'retry'` reset marker. v0.14.3 (fix wave) ships schema-only migrations v14 (`pages_updated_at_index`) + v15 (`minion_jobs_max_stalled_default_5` with UPDATE backfill) via the `MIGRATIONS` array in `src/core/migrate.ts` — no orchestrator phases needed.
 - `src/commands/repair-jsonb.ts` — `gbrain repair-jsonb [--dry-run] [--json]`: rewrites `jsonb_typeof='string'` rows in place across 5 affected columns (pages.frontmatter, raw_data.data, ingest_log.pages_updated, files.metadata, page_versions.frontmatter). Fixes v0.12.0 double-encode bug on Postgres; PGLite no-ops. Idempotent.
 - `src/commands/orphans.ts` — `gbrain orphans [--json] [--count] [--include-pseudo]`: surfaces pages with zero inbound wikilinks, grouped by domain. Auto-generated/raw/pseudo pages filtered by default. Also exposed as `find_orphans` MCP operation. Shipped in v0.12.3 (contributed by @knee5).
 - `src/commands/integrity.ts` — `gbrain integrity check|auto|review|extract`: bare-tweet detection, dead-link detection, three-bucket repair (auto-repair / review-queue / skip). `scanIntegrity()` is the shared library function called from `gbrain doctor` (sampled at limit=500) and `cmdCheck` (full scan). v0.22.8: batch-load fast path on Postgres uses `SELECT DISTINCT ON (slug)` in a single SQL query to fix the PgBouncer round-trip timeout (60s → ~6s) while preserving `engine.getAllSlugs()`'s `Set<string>` semantics on multi-source brains. Gated by `engine.kind === 'postgres'` at the call site so PGLite never enters batch; fallback `catch` logs at `GBRAIN_DEBUG=1` so real Postgres errors are diagnosable.
-- `src/commands/doctor.ts` — `gbrain doctor [--json] [--fast] [--fix] [--dry-run] [--index-audit]`: health checks. v0.12.3 added `jsonb_integrity` + `markdown_body_completeness` reliability checks. v0.14.1: `--fix` delegates inlined cross-cutting rules to `> **Convention:** see [path](path).` callouts (pipes DRY violations into `src/core/dry-fix.ts`); `--fix --dry-run` previews without writing. v0.14.2: `schema_version` check fails loudly when `version=0` (migrations never ran — the #218 `bun install -g` signature) and routes users to `gbrain apply-migrations --yes`; new opt-in `--index-audit` flag (Postgres-only) reports zero-scan indexes from `pg_stat_user_indexes` (informational only, no auto-drop). v0.15.2: every DB check is wrapped in a progress phase; `markdown_body_completeness` runs under a 1s heartbeat timer so 10+ min scans are observable on 50K-page brains. v0.19.1 added `queue_health` (Postgres-only) with two subchecks: stalled-forever active jobs (started_at > 1h) and waiting-depth-per-name > threshold (default 10, override via `GBRAIN_QUEUE_WAITING_THRESHOLD`). Worker-heartbeat subcheck intentionally deferred to follow-up B7 because it needs a `minion_workers` table to produce ground-truth signal. Fix hints point at `gbrain repair-jsonb`, `gbrain sync --force`, `gbrain apply-migrations`, and `gbrain jobs get/cancel <id>`. v0.22.12 (#500): `sync_failures` check shows `[CODE=N, ...]` breakdown for both unacked entries (warn) and acked-historical entries (ok), surfacing systemic failure modes (`SLUG_MISMATCH=2685`) instead of a bare count.
-- `src/core/migrate.ts` — schema-migration runner. Owns the `MIGRATIONS` array (source of truth for schema DDL). v0.14.2 extended the `Migration` interface with `sqlFor?: { postgres?, pglite? }` (engine-specific SQL overrides `sql`) and `transaction?: boolean` (set to false for `CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY`, which Postgres refuses inside a transaction; ignored on PGLite since it has no concurrent writers). Migration v14 (fix wave) uses a handler branching on `engine.kind` to run CONCURRENTLY on Postgres (with a pre-drop of any invalid remnant via `pg_index.indisvalid`) and plain `CREATE INDEX` on PGLite. v15 bumps `minion_jobs.max_stalled` default 1→5 and backfills existing non-terminal rows. v0.22.6.1: migration v24 (`rls_backfill_missing_tables`) uses `sqlFor: { pglite: '' }` to no-op on PGLite — PGLite has no RLS engine and is single-tenant by definition, and the v24 ALTERs target subagent tables that don't exist in pglite-schema.ts. Closes #395 (contributed by @jdcastro2).
+- `src/commands/doctor.ts` — `gbrain doctor [--json] [--fast] [--fix] [--dry-run] [--index-audit]`: health checks. v0.12.3 added `jsonb_integrity` + `markdown_body_completeness` reliability checks. v0.14.1: `--fix` delegates inlined cross-cutting rules to `> **Convention:** see [path](path).` callouts (pipes DRY violations into `src/core/dry-fix.ts`); `--fix --dry-run` previews without writing. v0.14.2: `schema_version` check fails loudly when `version=0` (migrations never ran — the #218 `bun install -g` signature) and routes users to `gbrain apply-migrations --yes`; new opt-in `--index-audit` flag (Postgres-only) reports zero-scan indexes from `pg_stat_user_indexes` (informational only, no auto-drop). v0.15.2: every DB check is wrapped in a progress phase; `markdown_body_completeness` runs under a 1s heartbeat timer so 10+ min scans are observable on 50K-page brains. v0.19.1 added `queue_health` (Postgres-only) with two subchecks: stalled-forever active jobs (started_at > 1h) and waiting-depth-per-name > threshold (default 10, override via `GBRAIN_QUEUE_WAITING_THRESHOLD`). Worker-heartbeat subcheck intentionally deferred to follow-up B7 because it needs a `minion_workers` table to produce ground-truth signal. Fix hints point at `gbrain repair-jsonb`, `gbrain sync --force`, `gbrain apply-migrations`, and `gbrain jobs get/cancel <id>`. v0.22.12 (#500): `sync_failures` check shows `[CODE=N, ...]` breakdown for both unacked entries (warn) and acked-historical entries (ok), surfacing systemic failure modes (`SLUG_MISMATCH=2685`) instead of a bare count. v0.26.7 (#612): `rls_event_trigger` check (post-install drift detector for migration v35's auto-RLS event trigger). Lives outside the `// 5. RLS` slice that the structural doctor.test.ts guards anchor on, so the existing test guards stay intact. Healthy `evtenabled` set is `('O','A')` only — `R` is replica-only and would not fire in normal sessions; `D` is disabled. Fix hint is `gbrain apply-migrations --force-retry 35`.
+- `src/core/migrate.ts` — schema-migration runner. Owns the `MIGRATIONS` array (source of truth for schema DDL). v0.14.2 extended the `Migration` interface with `sqlFor?: { postgres?, pglite? }` (engine-specific SQL overrides `sql`) and `transaction?: boolean` (set to false for `CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY`, which Postgres refuses inside a transaction; ignored on PGLite since it has no concurrent writers). Migration v14 (fix wave) uses a handler branching on `engine.kind` to run CONCURRENTLY on Postgres (with a pre-drop of any invalid remnant via `pg_index.indisvalid`) and plain `CREATE INDEX` on PGLite. v15 bumps `minion_jobs.max_stalled` default 1→5 and backfills existing non-terminal rows. v0.22.6.1: migration v24 (`rls_backfill_missing_tables`) uses `sqlFor: { pglite: '' }` to no-op on PGLite — PGLite has no RLS engine and is single-tenant by definition, and the v24 ALTERs target subagent tables that don't exist in pglite-schema.ts. Closes #395 (contributed by @jdcastro2). **v30 (v0.23):** creates `dream_verdicts (file_path TEXT, content_hash TEXT, worth_processing BOOL, reasons JSONB, judged_at TIMESTAMPTZ, PK(file_path, content_hash))`. RLS-enabled when running as a BYPASSRLS role. The synthesize phase reads/writes this table to avoid re-judging on backfill re-runs. **v35 (v0.26.7):** auto-RLS event trigger + one-time backfill. `auto_rls_on_create_table` fires on `ddl_command_end` for `WHEN TAG IN ('CREATE TABLE','CREATE TABLE AS','SELECT INTO')` and runs `ALTER TABLE … ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY` on every new `public.*` table — no FORCE (matches v24/v29/schema.sql posture so non-BYPASSRLS apps can still read their own tables). The same migration backfills RLS on every existing `public.*` base table whose comment doesn't match the doctor regex (`^GBRAIN:RLS_EXEMPT\s+reason=\S.{3,}`). Per-table failure aborts the offending CREATE TABLE (event triggers fire inside the DDL transaction); no EXCEPTION wrap — that would convert loud rollback into silent permissive default. PGLite no-op via `sqlFor.pglite: ''`. Breaking change: operators with intentionally-RLS-off public tables must add the GBRAIN:RLS_EXEMPT comment BEFORE upgrade or the backfill will flip them on.
 - `src/core/progress.ts` — Shared bulk-action progress reporter. Writes to stderr. Modes: `auto` (TTY: `\r`-rewriting; non-TTY: plain lines), `human`, `json` (JSONL), `quiet`. Rate-gated by `minIntervalMs` and `minItems`. `startHeartbeat(reporter, note)` helper for single long queries. `child()` composes phase paths. Singleton SIGINT/SIGTERM coordinator emits `abort` events for every live phase. EPIPE defense on both sync throws and stream `'error'` events. Zero dependencies. Introduced in v0.15.2.
 - `src/core/cli-options.ts` — Global CLI flag parser. `parseGlobalFlags(argv)` returns `{cliOpts, rest}` with `--quiet` / `--progress-json` / `--progress-interval=<ms>` stripped. `getCliOptions()` / `setCliOptions()` expose a module-level singleton so commands reach the resolved flags without parameter threading. `cliOptsToProgressOptions()` maps to reporter options. `childGlobalFlags()` returns the flag suffix to append to `execSync('gbrain ...')` calls in migration orchestrators. `OperationContext.cliOpts` extends shared-op dispatch for MCP callers.
 - `src/core/db-lock.ts` (v0.22.13) — generic `tryAcquireDbLock(engine, lockId, ttlMinutes)` over the existing `gbrain_cycle_locks` table. Parameterized lock id so different scopes can nest cleanly: `gbrain-cycle` for the broad cycle (held by `cycle.ts`) and `gbrain-sync` (`SYNC_LOCK_ID` constant) for `performSync`'s narrower writer window. Same UPSERT-with-TTL semantics as the prior cycle-only helper, just generalized. Survives PgBouncer transaction pooling (unlike session-scoped `pg_try_advisory_lock`); crashed holders auto-release once their TTL expires.
 - `src/core/sync-concurrency.ts` (v0.22.13) — single source of truth for the parallel-sync policy. Exports `autoConcurrency(engine, fileCount, override?)` (PGLite always serial; explicit override clamped to >=1; auto path returns `DEFAULT_PARALLEL_WORKERS=4` when `fileCount > AUTO_CONCURRENCY_FILE_THRESHOLD=100`), `shouldRunParallel(workers, fileCount, explicit)` (Q1: explicit `--workers` bypasses the >50-file floor), and `parseWorkers(s)` (rejects `'0'`, `'-3'`, `'foo'`, `'1.5'`, trailing chars — replaces the prior parseInt-with-no-validation in both `sync.ts` and `import.ts`). Used by `performSync`, `performFullSync`, `runImport`, and the Minion `sync` handler so the three sites can no longer drift.
 - `src/commands/sync.ts` — `gbrain sync` CLI + the `performSync` / `performFullSync` library entrypoints (consumed by the autopilot cycle and the Minion sync handler). v0.22.13 (PR #490): `performSync` wraps its body in a `gbrain-sync` writer lock so two concurrent syncs (manual + autopilot, two terminals, two Conductor workspaces) cannot both write `last_commit` and let the last writer win. Head-drift gate after the import phase re-checks `git rev-parse HEAD`; if HEAD moved (someone ran `git checkout` / `git pull` mid-sync), the bookmark refuses to advance. Vanished files now record a failedFiles entry instead of silent-skip — the silent-skip-then-advance pathology that survived prior hardening passes is dead. Worker engines wrap in try/finally so disconnect always fires (panic-path leak fix). Both PGLite-detection sites use `engine.kind === 'pglite'`. CLI accepts `--workers N` (alias `--concurrency N`), validated via `parseWorkers`. Explicit `--workers` bypasses the auto-path file-count floor; auto path defers to `autoConcurrency()`. Banner moved to stderr.
-- `src/core/cycle.ts` — v0.17 brain maintenance cycle primitive. `runCycle(engine: BrainEngine | null, opts: CycleOpts): Promise<CycleReport>` composes 6 phases in semantically-driven order (lint → backlinks → sync → extract → embed → orphans). Three callers: `gbrain dream` CLI, `gbrain autopilot` daemon's inline path, and the Minions `autopilot-cycle` handler (`src/commands/jobs.ts`). One source of truth for what the brain does overnight. Coordination via `gbrain_cycle_locks` DB table (TTL-based; works through PgBouncer transaction pooling, unlike session-scoped `pg_try_advisory_lock`) + `~/.gbrain/cycle.lock` file lock with PID-liveness for PGLite / engine=null mode. `CycleReport.schema_version: "1"` is the stable agent-consumable shape. `PhaseResult.error: { class, code, message, hint?, docs_url? }` is Stripe-API-tier structured failure info. `yieldBetweenPhases` hook awaited between every phase — Minions handler uses this to renew its job lock and prevent v0.14 stall-death regression. Engine nullable: filesystem phases (lint, backlinks) run without DB; DB phases skip with `status: "skipped", reason: "no_database"`. Lock-skip: read-only phase selections (`--phase orphans`) bypass the cycle lock. v0.22.1 (#403): `CycleOpts.signal?: AbortSignal` propagates the worker's abort signal; `checkAborted()` fires between every phase and throws if the signal is aborted (cooperative — can't interrupt a phase mid-execution). v0.22.1 (#417): `runPhaseSync` returns `pagesAffected` via `SyncPhaseResult`; `runCycle` captures it and threads to `runPhaseExtract` as the 4th arg, enabling incremental extract on the cycle path. v0.22.1 (Codex F2): `runPhaseSync` takes `willRunExtractPhase: boolean` and sets `noExtract: phases.includes('extract')` so `gbrain dream --phase sync` doesn't silently lose extraction. v0.22.5 (#475): new `resolveSourceForDir(engine, brainDir)` helper queries `SELECT id FROM sources WHERE local_path = $1 LIMIT 1`; `runPhaseSync` threads result as `sourceId` to `performSync()` so sync reads the per-source `sources.last_commit` anchor instead of the drift-prone global `config.sync.last_commit` key. Bare try/catch lets pre-v0.18 brains fall through to the global key. Closes the prod hang where every autopilot cycle ran a 30-min full reimport because the global anchor commit had been GC'd from git history.
-- `src/commands/dream.ts` — v0.17 `gbrain dream` CLI. ~80-line thin alias over `runCycle`. brainDir resolution requires explicit `--dir` OR `sync.repo_path` config (no more walk-up-cwd-for-.git footgun). Flags: `--dry-run`, `--json`, `--phase <name>`, `--pull`, `--dir <path>`. Exit code 1 on status=failed (partial/warn not fatal — don't page on warnings).
+- `src/core/cycle.ts` — v0.17 brain maintenance cycle primitive (extended to **8 phases in v0.23**). `runCycle(engine: BrainEngine | null, opts: CycleOpts): Promise<CycleReport>` composes phases in semantically-driven order: **lint → backlinks → sync → synthesize → extract → patterns → embed → orphans**. v0.23's `synthesize` phase runs after sync (cross-references see fresh brain) and before extract (auto-link materializes its writes); `patterns` runs after extract so it reads a fresh graph (codex finding #7 — subagent put_page sets `ctx.remote=true` and skips auto-link/timeline by default; extract is the canonical materialization). Three callers: `gbrain dream` CLI, `gbrain autopilot` daemon's inline path, and the Minions `autopilot-cycle` handler. Coordination via `gbrain_cycle_locks` DB table + `~/.gbrain/cycle.lock` file lock with PID-liveness for PGLite. `CycleReport.schema_version: "1"` is stable; totals additively grew in v0.23 (`transcripts_processed`, `synth_pages_written`, `patterns_written`). `yieldBetweenPhases` runs between phases. **v0.23 added `yieldDuringPhase`** for in-phase keepalive — synthesize/patterns call it during long waits to renew the cycle-lock TTL. Engine nullable; lock-skip on read-only phase selections. v0.22.1 (#403): `CycleOpts.signal?: AbortSignal` propagates the worker's abort signal; `checkAborted()` fires between every phase. v0.22.1 (#417): `runPhaseSync` returns `pagesAffected` via `SyncPhaseResult`; `runCycle` captures it and threads to `runPhaseExtract` as the 4th arg. v0.22.1 (Codex F2): `runPhaseSync` takes `willRunExtractPhase: boolean` and sets `noExtract: phases.includes('extract')` so `gbrain dream --phase sync` doesn't silently lose extraction. v0.22.5 (#475): `resolveSourceForDir(engine, brainDir)` threads `sourceId` to `performSync()` so sync reads the per-source `sources.last_commit` anchor instead of the drift-prone global `config.sync.last_commit` key.
+- `src/core/cycle/synthesize.ts` (v0.23) — Synthesize phase: conversation-transcript-to-brain pipeline. Reads from `dream.synthesize.session_corpus_dir`, runs cheap Haiku verdict (cached in `dream_verdicts`), then fans out one Sonnet subagent per worth-processing transcript with `allowed_slug_prefixes` (sourced from `skills/_brain-filing-rules.json` `dream_synthesize_paths.globs`). Orchestrator collects slugs from `subagent_tool_executions` (NOT `pages.updated_at` — codex finding #2) and reverse-renders DB → markdown via `serializeMarkdown`. Cooldown via `dream.synthesize.last_completion_ts`, written ONLY on success. Idempotency key `dream:synth:<file_path>:<content_hash>`. Auto-commit deferred to v1.1 (codex #5). `--dry-run` runs Haiku, skips Sonnet (codex #8). Subagent never gets fs-write access. **v0.23.2:** `renderPageToMarkdown` (now exported) stamps `dream_generated: true` and `dream_cycle_date` into every reverse-write's frontmatter; `writeSummaryPage` does the same on the dream-cycle summary index. The marker is the explicit identity surface checked by `isDreamOutput` in `transcript-discovery.ts` — replaces the v0.23.1 content-prefix heuristic that could miss real output (`serializeMarkdown` doesn't embed slugs in body) and false-positive on user transcripts citing brain pages. `judgeSignificance` and `JudgeClient` are exported; `judgeSignificance` accepts a `verdictModel` parameter (default `claude-haiku-4-5-20251001`) loaded from `dream.synthesize.verdict_model` via `loadSynthConfig`.
+- `src/core/cycle/patterns.ts` (v0.23) — Patterns phase: cross-session theme detection over reflections within `dream.patterns.lookback_days` (default 30). Names a pattern only when ≥`dream.patterns.min_evidence` (default 3) reflections support it. Single Sonnet subagent; same allow-list path as synthesize. Runs AFTER `extract` so the graph is fresh.
+- `src/core/cycle/transcript-discovery.ts` (v0.23) — Pure filesystem walk for synthesize. `discoverTranscripts(opts)` filters `.txt` files by date range, min_chars, and word-boundary regex `excludePatterns` (Q-3: `medical` matches "medical advice" but NOT "comedical"; power users may pass full regex). `readSingleTranscript(path)` is the `gbrain dream --input <file>` ad-hoc path. **v0.23.2 self-consumption guard:** `DREAM_OUTPUT_MARKER_RE` (anchored at frontmatter open `---\n`, optional BOM + CRLF tolerance, scans first 2000 chars for `dream_generated: true` with case-insensitive value and word boundary on `true`) drives `isDreamOutput(content, bypass=false)`. Both `discoverTranscripts` and `readSingleTranscript` skip matching files and emit a `[dream] skipped <basename>: dream_generated marker` stderr log (no more silent skips). `bypassGuard?: boolean` on `DiscoverOpts` and `readSingleTranscript`'s opts disables the guard for the explicit `--unsafe-bypass-dream-guard` escape hatch only — never auto-applied for `--input`. Replaces v0.23.1's `DREAM_OUTPUT_SLUGS` content-prefix list.
+- `src/commands/dream.ts` — v0.17 `gbrain dream` CLI; ~80-line thin alias over `runCycle`. brainDir resolution requires explicit `--dir` OR `sync.repo_path` config. Flags: `--dry-run`, `--json`, `--phase <name>`, `--pull`, `--dir <path>`. **v0.23 added** `--input <file>` (ad-hoc transcript, implies `--phase synthesize`), `--date YYYY-MM-DD`, `--from <d> --to <d>` (backfill range). Conflict detection: `--input` + `--date` exits 2. ISO date validation. `--dry-run` runs Haiku significance verdict but skips Sonnet synthesis (codex finding #8 — NOT zero LLM calls). Exit code 1 on status=failed. **v0.23.2 added** `--unsafe-bypass-dream-guard` (long-form intentional, plumbed through `runCycle.synthBypassDreamGuard` → `SynthesizePhaseOpts.bypassDreamGuard` → `discoverTranscripts({bypassGuard})` and `readSingleTranscript({bypassGuard})`). Loud stderr warning fires at synthesize-phase entry when set. Never auto-applied for `--input` so any caller can't silently re-trigger the loop bug.
+- `src/commands/friction.ts` + `src/core/friction.ts` (v0.23) — `gbrain friction {log,render,list,summary}` reporter. Append-only JSONL under `$GBRAIN_HOME/friction/<run-id>.jsonl`. Schema is a flat extension of `StructuredAgentError` (D20). Render groups by severity → phase, defaults to `--redact` for md output (strips `$HOME`/`$CWD` to placeholders so reports paste safely in PRs). Run-id resolves from `--run-id` > `$GBRAIN_FRICTION_RUN_ID` > `standalone.jsonl`. Skills the claw-test exercises gain a `_friction-protocol.md` callout so agents know when to log friction.
+- `src/commands/claw-test.ts` + `src/core/claw-test/` (v0.23) — `gbrain claw-test [--scenario <name>] [--live --agent openclaw]`. End-to-end "fresh user" friction harness. Two modes: scripted (CI gate, agent-free) and live (real openclaw subprocess, $1–2 in tokens). Sets `GBRAIN_HOME=<tempdir>` for hermeticity and captures gbrain's `--progress-json` events from each child's stderr to verify expected phases ran (`import.files`, `extract.links_fs`, `doctor.db_checks`). Phases for scripted mode: setup → install_brain (`gbrain init --pglite`) → import (`--no-embed`) → query → extract → verify (`gbrain doctor --json`, asserts `status: 'ok'`) → render. Live mode hands `BRIEF.md` from `test/fixtures/claw-test-scenarios/<name>/` to the agent runner. v1 ships with the OpenClaw runner only (`src/core/claw-test/runners/openclaw.ts`, invokes `openclaw agent --local --agent <name> --message <brief>`); hermes runner deferred to v1.1. Transcript capture (`transcript-capture.ts`) uses `fs.createWriteStream` with `'drain'`-event backpressure — D17 fix for the 256KB-burst child-stall scenario. v0.18 upgrade scenario seeded via `seed-pglite.ts` SQL replay.
+- `skills/_friction-protocol.md` (v0.23) — shared cross-cutting convention skill (like `_brain-filing-rules.md`). Tells agents when to call `gbrain friction log` and how to choose a severity. Routes to friction CLI from any skill the claw-test exercises.
 - `scripts/check-progress-to-stdout.sh` — CI guard against regressing to `\r`-on-stdout progress. Wired into `bun run test` via `scripts/check-progress-to-stdout.sh && bun test` in package.json.
 - `docs/progress-events.md` — Canonical JSON event schema reference. Stable from v0.15.2, additive only.
 - `src/core/markdown.ts` — Frontmatter parsing + body splitter. `splitBody` requires an explicit timeline sentinel (`<!-- timeline -->`, `--- timeline ---`, or `---` immediately before `## Timeline`/`## History`). Plain `---` in body text is a markdown horizontal rule, not a separator. `inferType` auto-types `/wiki/analysis/` → analysis, `/wiki/guides/` → guide, `/wiki/hardware/` → hardware, `/wiki/architecture/` → architecture, `/writing/` → writing (plus the existing people/companies/deals/etc heuristics).
 - `scripts/check-jsonb-pattern.sh` — CI grep guard. Fails the build if anyone reintroduces (a) the `${JSON.stringify(x)}::jsonb` interpolation pattern (postgres.js v3 double-encodes it), or (b) `max_stalled INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 1` in any schema source file (v0.15.1 #219 regression guard — must be DEFAULT 5 to preserve SIGKILL-rescue). Wired into `bun test`.
+- `docker-compose.ci.yml` + `scripts/ci-local.sh` (v0.23.1) — Local CI gate. `bun run ci:local` spins up `pgvector/pgvector:pg16` + `oven/bun:1` with named volumes (`gbrain-ci-pg-data`, `gbrain-ci-node-modules`, `gbrain-ci-bun-cache`), runs gitleaks on host, smoke-tests `scripts/run-e2e.sh` argv handling, runs unit tests with `DATABASE_URL` unset (matches GH Actions structure), then runs all 29 E2E files sequentially. `--diff` swaps in the diff-aware selector; `--no-pull` skips upstream pulls; `--clean` nukes named volumes. Postgres host port defaults to 5434 (avoids 5432 manual `gbrain-test-pg` and 5433 sibling-project conflict); override with `GBRAIN_CI_PG_PORT=NNNN`. Stronger gate than current PR CI's 2-file Tier 1 set — closes the "push-and-wait" feedback loop pre-push.
+- `scripts/select-e2e.ts` + `scripts/e2e-test-map.ts` (v0.23.1) — Diff-aware E2E test selector. Reads three git sources (committed `origin/master...HEAD`, working-tree `HEAD`, and `git ls-files --others --exclude-standard` for untracked, NOT-gitignored files), classifies as EMPTY / DOC_ONLY / SRC. Fail-closed by design: EMPTY → all 29 files (clean branch shouldn't run nothing), DOC_ONLY (every path matches the README/CLAUDE/AGENTS/CHANGELOG/TODOS allowlist) → empty stdout, SRC → escape-hatch paths (schema, package.json, skills/) trigger all; otherwise the hand-tuned `E2E_TEST_MAP` glob → tests narrows; an unmapped src/ change still emits ALL files, never silently nothing. Pure-function exports (`selectTests`, `classify`, `matchGlob`) so it's trivial to test and fork. `bun run ci:select-e2e` prints the current selection on stdout, pipe-friendly. `test/select-e2e.test.ts` covers all 4 branches plus 3 codex regression guards (skills/, untracked files, unmapped src/) — 24 cases.
+- `scripts/run-e2e.sh` (v0.23.1 update) — Sequential E2E runner. Now accepts an optional argv-driven file list (used by `ci:local:diff` to pipe in selector output) and a `--dry-run-list` flag that prints the resolved file list and exits (used by `ci-local.sh`'s startup smoke-test). Falls back to `test/e2e/*.test.ts` when invoked with no args.
 - `scripts/llms-config.ts` + `scripts/build-llms.ts` — Generator for `llms.txt` (llmstxt.org-spec web index) + `llms-full.txt` (inlined single-fetch bundle). Curated config drives both. Run `bun run build:llms` after adding a new doc. `LLMS_REPO_BASE` env var lets forks regenerate with their own URL base. `FULL_SIZE_BUDGET` (600KB) caps the inline bundle; generator WARNs if exceeded. Committed output is not analogous to `schema-embedded.ts` (no runtime consumer); we commit for GitHub browsing and fork-safe fetching.
 - `AGENTS.md` — Local-clone entry point for non-Claude agents (Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, Aider). Mirrors `CLAUDE.md` intent via relative links. Claude Code keeps using `CLAUDE.md`.
 - `docs/UPGRADING_DOWNSTREAM_AGENTS.md` — Patches for downstream agent skill forks to apply when upgrading. Each release appends a new section. v0.10.3 includes diffs for brain-ops, meeting-ingestion, signal-detector, enrich.

+- `src/core/destructive-guard.ts` (v0.26.5) — three-layer protection against accidental data loss in gbrain. `assessDestructiveImpact(engine, sourceId)` counts pages/chunks/embeddings/files for a source. `checkDestructiveConfirmation(impact, opts)` is the fail-closed gate (`--confirm-destructive` required when data is present; `--yes` alone is rejected). `softDeleteSource` / `restoreSource` / `listArchivedSources` / `purgeExpiredSources` drive the source-level archive lifecycle via the column shape introduced in migration v34 (`sources.archived BOOLEAN`, `archived_at TIMESTAMPTZ`, `archive_expires_at TIMESTAMPTZ`). v0.26.5 added the page-level analog through `BrainEngine.softDeletePage` / `restorePage` / `purgeDeletedPages` plus `pages.deleted_at TIMESTAMPTZ` and a partial purge index. The MCP `delete_page` op rewires to `softDeletePage`; new ops `restore_page` (`scope: write`) and `purge_deleted_pages` (`scope: admin`, `localOnly: true`) round out the surface. Search visibility (`buildVisibilityClause` in `src/core/search/sql-ranking.ts`) hides soft-deleted pages and archived sources from `searchKeyword` / `searchKeywordChunks` / `searchVector` in both engines. The autopilot cycle's new 9th `purge` phase calls `purgeExpiredSources` + `engine.purgeDeletedPages(72)` so the 72h TTL is real, not honor-system.

+- `gbrain pages purge-deleted [--older-than HOURS|Nd] [--dry-run] [--json]` — operator escape hatch for page-level soft-delete cleanup. Mirror of `gbrain sources purge`. The autopilot cycle's new `purge` phase calls the same library function automatically every run.
+- MCP `delete_page` op semantically shifts from hard-delete to soft-delete. New ops: `restore_page` (`scope: write`), `purge_deleted_pages` (`scope: admin`, `localOnly: true`).
+- `get_page` and `list_pages` extended with `include_deleted: boolean` (default false).
+- New autopilot cycle phase `purge` (9th, runs after `orphans`). `gbrain dream --phase purge` runs only the purge sweep.
+- Index strategy note: the partial index `pages_deleted_at_purge_idx ON pages (deleted_at) WHERE deleted_at IS NOT NULL` supports the autopilot purge query. Search filters (`WHERE deleted_at IS NULL`) do NOT need their own index — soft-deleted cardinality stays low and Postgres won't use the partial index for the negative predicate. Don't add a regular `(deleted_at)` index without measuring.
+- Schema migration v34 (`destructive_guard_columns`) adds `pages.deleted_at` + the partial purge index; promotes `archived` from `sources.config` JSONB to real columns; backfills any pre-v0.26.5 JSONB shape.

+Key commands added in v0.25.0:
+- `gbrain eval export [--since DUR] [--limit N] [--tool query|search]` — stream captured `eval_candidates` rows as NDJSON to stdout. Every line starts with `"schema_version": 1` per the stable contract in `docs/eval-capture.md`. EPIPE-safe, progress heartbeats on stderr, deterministic ordering. Primary consumer is the sibling `gbrain-evals` repo for BrainBench-Real replay.
+- `gbrain eval prune --older-than DUR [--dry-run]` — explicit retention cleanup for `eval_candidates`. Requires `--older-than` (never deletes without a window). Duration strings: 30d, 7d, 1h, 90m, 3600s.
+- `gbrain eval replay --against FILE.ndjson [--limit N] [--top-regressions K] [--json] [--verbose]` — contributor-facing dev loop. Reads a captured NDJSON snapshot, re-runs each `query` / `search` op against the current brain, computes mean set-Jaccard@k between captured + current `retrieved_slugs`, top-1 stability rate, and latency Δ. JSON mode (`schema_version: 1`) for CI gating; human mode prints a regression table sorted worst-first. Closes the gap between "data captured" and "data used to gate a PR." See `docs/eval-bench.md` for the workflow.
+- `gbrain eval cross-modal --task "..." --output <path> [--cycles N] [--slot-a-model ID] [--slot-b-model ID] [--slot-c-model ID] [--receipt-dir DIR] [--json]` (v0.27.x) — multi-model quality gate. Three different-provider frontier models score the OUTPUT against the TASK on 5 documented dimensions. Pass criterion: every dim mean >=7 AND no model scored any dim <5. Exit codes: 0 PASS, 1 FAIL, 2 INCONCLUSIVE (<2/3 models returned parseable scores). Default cycles=3 in TTY, **cycles=1 in non-TTY** (limits accidental scripted bulk spend). Default slots: `openai:gpt-4o` / `anthropic:claude-opus-4-7` / `google:gemini-1.5-pro` — refresh alongside model-family bumps. Receipts land at `~/.gbrain/.gbrain/eval-receipts/<slug>-<sha8-of-output>.json` (gbrainPath honors GBRAIN_HOME). Bypasses `connectEngine()` via the cli.ts no-DB branch — runs cleanly before `gbrain init`. Reuses `src/core/ai/gateway.ts:chat()` for config/auth (no parallel provider stack). Cost-estimate prints to stderr before each cycle (T11=B partial cost guardrail; full `--budget-usd N` is a follow-up TODO).
+- `gbrain doctor` gains an `eval_capture` check: reads `eval_capture_failures` for the last 24h, groups by reason, warns when non-zero. Cross-process visibility (doctor runs in a separate process from MCP). Pre-v31 brains get `Skipped (table unavailable)` — non-fatal.

+### CI vs local: intentionally divergent file sets
+
+- **CI matrix** (`.github/workflows/test.yml`) runs `scripts/test-shard.sh` 4-way, which uses FNV-1a hash bucketing and INCLUDES `*.slow.test.ts`. 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
+
+When `bun run test` finds any failure, the wrapper:
+
+1. Writes failure blocks (each prefixed with `--- shard N: <test name> ---`) to `.context/test-failures.log` (workspace-local, gitignored). On systems without a writable `.context/`, falls back to `/tmp/gbrain-test-failures.log`.
+2. Prints a loud stderr banner with the absolute log path, plus the last 30 lines of the failure log inlined. Banner survives `| head` / `| tail` / agent-side log truncation.
+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.
+
+### File taxonomy
+
+- `*.test.ts` → fast loop (parallel 8-shard fan-out).
+- `*.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; uses `--max-concurrency=1`. Quarantine for tests that share file-wide state and race when run alongside other files in the same `bun test` process. Currently: `test/brain-registry.serial.test.ts`, `test/reconcile-links.serial.test.ts`, `test/core/cycle.serial.test.ts`, `test/embed.serial.test.ts` (the latter two added in v0.26.7 — they use `mock.module(...)` which leaks across files in the shard process). **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.
+
+The intra-file parallelism project (turn `bun test` into `bun test --concurrent` after sweeping shared-state contention sites) is sliced across v0.26.7 (foundation), v0.26.8 (env-mutation sweep), and v0.26.9 (PGLite sweep + codemod + measurement). v0.26.4 ships file-level parallelism only.
+
+### Test-isolation lint and helpers (v0.26.7)
+
+The cross-file flake class is enforced statically by `scripts/check-test-isolation.sh`, wired into `bun run verify` and `bun run check:all`. Rules (non-serial unit files only; `*.serial.test.ts` and `test/e2e/*` are skipped):
+
+| Rule | What it bans | Fix |
+|---|---|---|
+| **R1** | `process.env.X = ...`, bracket assignment, `delete process.env.X`, `Object.assign(process.env, ...)`, `Reflect.set(process.env, ...)` | Use `withEnv()` from `test/helpers/with-env.ts`, OR rename file to `*.serial.test.ts` |
+| **R2** | `mock.module(...)` anywhere in the file | Rename file to `*.serial.test.ts` (no DI on production code for testability) |
+| **R3** | `new PGLiteEngine(` outside ~50 lines after a `beforeAll(` line | Use the canonical block (below) inside `beforeAll(` |
+| **R4** | Files creating `new PGLiteEngine(` without `engine.disconnect(` inside an `afterAll(` block | Add `afterAll(() => engine.disconnect())` |
+
+Files that violated these rules at the v0.26.7 baseline are listed in `scripts/check-test-isolation.allowlist`. **The allow-list MUST shrink over time** — never add new entries. v0.26.8 (env sweep) and v0.26.9 (PGLite sweep) remove entries as files get fixed.
+
+#### Canonical PGLite block (R3 + R4 compliant)
+
+Every test file that needs a PGLite engine should use this exact pattern:
+
+```ts
+import { PGLiteEngine } from '../src/core/pglite-engine.ts';
+import { resetPgliteState } from './helpers/reset-pglite.ts';
+
+let engine: PGLiteEngine;
+
+beforeAll(async () => {
+  engine = new PGLiteEngine();
+  await engine.connect({});
+  await engine.initSchema();
+});
+
+afterAll(async () => {
+  await engine.disconnect();
+});
+
+beforeEach(async () => {
+  await resetPgliteState(engine);
+});
+```
+
+Why this exact shape: `beforeAll` creates a single engine per file (PGLite WASM cold-start + initSchema is ~20s); `beforeEach` truncates user data via `resetPgliteState` ("two orders of magnitude faster" than fresh-engine-per-test); `afterAll` disconnects so the engine doesn't leak across file boundaries within a shard process.
+
+#### `withEnv` pattern (R1 fix)
+
+```ts
+import { withEnv } from './helpers/with-env.ts';
+
+test('reads OPENAI_API_KEY', async () => {
+  await withEnv({ OPENAI_API_KEY: 'sk-test' }, async () => {
+    expect(loadConfig().openai_key).toBe('sk-test');
+  });
+});
+
+// Delete a var (override is undefined):
+await withEnv({ GBRAIN_HOME: undefined }, fn);
+
+// Multiple keys:
+await withEnv({ A: '1', B: '2', C: undefined }, fn);
+```
+
+`withEnv` saves the prior value of every key it touches and restores via try/finally — including when the callback throws. **It is cross-test safe but NOT intra-file concurrent-safe.** `process.env` is process-global; two `test.concurrent()` calls in the same file both touching the same key will race. Files using `withEnv` stay outside the future `test.concurrent()` codemod's eligibility filter.
+
+#### When to quarantine instead of fix
+
+Rename to `*.serial.test.ts` when:
+- The file uses `mock.module(...)` (R2 — there's no clean fix without changing production code).
+- The file is genuinely env-coupled (e.g. `gbrain-home-isolation.test.ts`, `claw-test-cli.test.ts`) — module-load env readers + ESM caching defeat dynamic-import-after-env tricks.
+- The file's tests intentionally share state across `it()` boundaries.
+
+Quarantine count cap: 10 (informational). Beyond that, push back on the design.
+

+## Capturing test output (NEVER pipe through `tail` / `head`)
+
+**Iron rule:** when running `bun test`, `bun run test:e2e`, `bun run typecheck`,
+or any other test/check command, redirect to a file FIRST, then `tail` the file
+separately:
+
+```bash
+# RIGHT — full output preserved, real exit code visible
+bun test > /tmp/ship_units.txt 2>&1
+echo "EXIT=$?"
+tail -50 /tmp/ship_units.txt
+grep -E '(fail\)|✗|error:' /tmp/ship_units.txt | head -30
+```
+
+```bash
+# WRONG — exit code is `tail`'s (always 0), failures truncated, ship gates fail open
+bun test 2>&1 | tail -10
+```
+
+The pipe form silently breaks /ship Step T1 (test failure ownership triage) and
+the test verification gate (Step 16) because:
+- `$?` after a pipe is the LAST command's exit code (`tail` → 0), not bun's
+- bun prints failure details before the summary line, so `tail -N` drops them
+- Step T1 needs the full failure list to classify in-branch vs pre-existing
+
+This bit us during v0.26.2 ship: `bun test 2>&1 | tail -10` reported "3911 pass / 23 fail"
+but no failure details survived, forcing a 23-minute re-run to triage.
+
+Apply the same pattern to any long-running command whose exit code matters:

+For background tasks (`run_in_background: true`), the harness captures the exit
+file separately — use it via the bg task's `<id>.exit` file, not the streamed

+Two equivalent paths:
+
+**Path A — local CI gate (recommended, v0.23.1+):**
+- `bun run ci:local` runs the entire stack inside Docker: gitleaks (host), unit
+  tests with `DATABASE_URL` unset, and all 29 E2E files sequentially against a

+  `GBRAIN_CI_PG_PORT=5435 bun run ci:local` if 5434 collides.
+- `bun run ci:local:diff` runs only the E2E files matched by the diff selector
+  (`scripts/select-e2e.ts`), falling back to all 29 on unmapped src/ paths or
+  schema/skills/package.json changes. Fast iteration during a focused branch.
+
+**Path B — manual lifecycle (still supported):**
 - `bun test` — unit tests (no database required)
 - Follow the "E2E test DB lifecycle" steps above to spin up the test DB,
   run `bun run test:e2e`, then tear it down.
 
 Both must pass. Do not ship with failing E2E tests. Do not skip E2E tests.
 
+**Always run typecheck before pushing.** `bun test` (the bun runner)
+skips TypeScript type checking — it only enforces runtime behavior.
+Three ways to actually gate on types:
+
+1. `bun run test` (npm script in `package.json`) — includes `bun run typecheck`
+   plus the four shell pre-checks (`check-jsonb-pattern.sh`,
+   `check-progress-to-stdout.sh`, `check-trailing-newline.sh`,
+   `check-wasm-embedded.sh`) before the runner. Use this mid-branch.
+2. `bun run typecheck` — `tsc --noEmit` standalone. Fast (~5s on this repo).
+3. `bun run ci:local` — the full local CI gate from Path A.
+
+The trap is: writing a new test, running `bun test test/foo.test.ts`,
+seeing it pass, pushing — and CI's separate typecheck stage rejects an
+invalid type literal that the runner accepted. Caught one of these
+shipping the v0.23.2 round-trip E2E (`type: 'reflection'` is not a
+member of `PageType`). Run `bun run typecheck` once before push, even

 The brain wires itself. Every page write extracts entity references and creates typed links (`attended`, `works_at`, `invested_in`, `founded`, `advises`) with zero LLM calls. Hybrid search. Self-wiring knowledge graph. Structured timeline. Backlink-boosted ranking. Ask "who works at Acme AI?" or "what did Bob invest in this quarter?" and get answers vector search alone can't reach. Benchmarked side-by-side against the category: gbrain lands **P@5 49.1%, R@5 97.9%** on a 240-page Opus-generated rich-prose corpus, beating its own graph-disabled variant by **+31.4 points P@5** and ripgrep-BM25 + vector-only RAG by a similar margin.

 [Skill files are code.](https://x.com/garrytan/status/2042925773300908103) They're the most powerful way to get knowledge work done. A skill file is a fat markdown document that encodes an entire workflow: when to fire, what to check, how to chain with other skills, what quality bar to enforce. The agent reads the skill and executes it. Skills can also call deterministic TypeScript code bundled in GBrain (search, import, embed, sync) for the parts that shouldn't be left to LLM judgment.

+Pre-v1.0 tokens are grandfathered as `read+write+admin` scopes when you upgrade

+
+## OAuth 2.1 Setup (v0.26.0+)
+
+### 1. Start the HTTP server
+
+```bash
+gbrain serve --http --port 3131
+```
+
+On first start, the server prints an **admin bootstrap token** to stderr:
+
+```
+Admin bootstrap token: 3a1f9c...
+Open http://localhost:3131/admin and paste it to log in.
+```
+
+Save this token. Open `http://localhost:3131/admin` and paste it to access the
+dashboard. The dashboard shows live activity, registered clients, request logs,
+and per-client config export.
+

+> want raw payloads back can pass `gbrain serve --http --log-full-params` (loud
+> stderr warning fires at startup). Multi-tenant deployments should leave it on
+> the redacted default.
+
+### 2. Register OAuth clients
+
+Register clients from the **`/admin` dashboard**:
+
+1. Click **Register client**.
+2. Enter a name (e.g. `perplexity`, `chatgpt`).
+3. Pick scopes: `read`, `write`, `admin` (checkboxes).
+4. Pick grant type: `client_credentials` for machine-to-machine (Perplexity,
+   Claude Desktop bearer mode) or `authorization_code` for browser-based
+   clients with PKCE (ChatGPT).
+5. For `authorization_code` clients, paste the redirect URI.
+6. Hit **Register**. The credential-reveal modal shows the `client_id` (and
+   `client_secret` for confidential clients) once. Copy or Download JSON
+   immediately — secrets are hashed on storage and never shown again.
+
+Or from the CLI — faster for scripting:
+
+```bash
+gbrain auth register-client perplexity \
+  --grant-types client_credentials \
+  --scopes "read write"
+```
+
+Host-repo wrappers can register programmatically:
+
+```ts
+await oauthProvider.registerClientManual(
+  'perplexity',
+  ['client_credentials'],
+  'read write',
+  [],  // redirect_uris, empty for CC
+);
+```
+
+For self-service client registration (Dynamic Client Registration, RFC 7591),
+start the server with `--enable-dcr`. DCR is off by default.
+
+### 3. Expose the server
+
+```bash
+brew install ngrok
+ngrok config add-authtoken YOUR_TOKEN
+ngrok http 3131 --url your-brain.ngrok.app
+```
+
+Your OAuth issuer URL becomes `https://your-brain.ngrok.app`. The MCP SDK's
+router exposes the spec-compliant discovery endpoint at
+`/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server`.
+
+### 4. Scopes and localOnly
+
+Every operation is tagged `read | write | admin`. Four operations are
+`localOnly` and rejected over HTTP regardless of scope: `sync_brain`,
+`file_upload`, `file_list`, `file_url`. Remote agents cannot reach local

+# Restart Sweep: Detect Dropped Messages After Gateway Restarts
+
+When the OpenClaw gateway restarts, webhook-delivered Telegram messages
+that haven't been processed yet get dropped permanently. Long-poll bots
+can replay missed updates via `getUpdates`. Webhook bots cannot. This
+recipe detects the gap by reading OpenClaw's session state and alerting
+when a session was active just before a restart but silent afterward.
+
+## IMPORTANT: Instructions for the Agent
+
+**You are the installer.** This recipe is written for YOU (the AI agent)
+to execute on behalf of the user. Follow these steps precisely.
+
+**Stop points (MUST pause and verify before continuing):**
+- After Step 1: prerequisites pass? If not, fix before proceeding.
+- After Step 4: dry run produces sensible output? If not, debug before
+  wiring cron.
+- After Step 5: cron entry created and visible in `crontab -l`? If not,
+  cron isn't installed.
+
+**When something fails:** Tell the user EXACTLY what failed, what it
+means, and what to try. Never say "something went wrong."
+
+## What this does
+
+1. Reads `/tmp/bootstrap-services.log` (or `$OPENCLAW_BOOTSTRAP_LOG`)
+   to find when the gateway last restarted. Falls back to `now() - 30
+   minutes` if the log isn't readable.
+2. Runs `openclaw sessions --json` to enumerate all live sessions.
+3. Filters to Telegram group sessions matching `$OPENCLAW_TELEGRAM_GROUP`.
+4. Flags sessions with `abortedLastRun: true` (strong signal of a
+   dropped message). Optionally flags sessions that were active in the
+   5 minutes before restart but silent in the 10 minutes after — gated
+   behind `OPENCLAW_RESTART_SWEEP_AGGRESSIVE=1` because the timing
+   heuristic produces false positives during quiet periods.
+5. Cooldown layer: each sessionKey alerted gets stamped with a
+   `lastAlertedAt` timestamp. Re-alerting on the same sessionKey is
+   suppressed for 6 hours regardless of whether the synthesized restart
+   time matches. This prevents the "missing bootstrap log →
+   re-alert-every-5-minutes-forever" failure mode.
+6. Sends one alert per cycle to Telegram (or stdout if no Telegram
+   config), then records the alert in
+   `~/.gbrain/integrations/restart-sweep/alerted.json`.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- OpenClaw running with Telegram in webhook mode (long-poll mode
+  doesn't need this — `getUpdates` recovers missed messages on restart)
+- The `openclaw` CLI on PATH (or you'll provide an absolute path in
+  Step 5)
+- Telegram bot token already configured in OpenClaw, group ID and
+  optional topic ID known
+- Cron available on the host (this recipe schedules a 5-minute job;
+  systemd timers, launchd, or any other scheduler also work — adapt
+  Step 5 accordingly)
+
+## Step 1: Verify prerequisites
+
+```bash
+openclaw sessions --json | head -40
+```
+
+Should print JSON with a `sessions` array. If it errors, fix
+`openclaw` reachability before continuing.
+
+Decide a host-repo install path. The recipe assumes
+`~/openclaw/scripts/restart-sweep.mjs` and the user's `.env` lives at
+`~/openclaw/.env`. Adapt to your repo layout.
+
+## Step 2: Collect the secrets
+
+Confirm with the user:
+
+- `OPENCLAW_OWNER_IDS` — comma-separated user IDs (e.g. `123456789,987654321`)
+- `OPENCLAW_TELEGRAM_GROUP` — the target group ID (negative number for
+  group chats, e.g. `-1001234567890`). Forward a message from the
+  group to `@userinfobot` to get it.
+- `OPENCLAW_ALERT_TOPIC` — optional, the topic/thread ID for forum
+  groups. Open the topic in Telegram, the URL ends with the thread ID.
+
+Add these three lines to the host's `.env` (or wherever the host loads
+env from):
+
+```bash
+OPENCLAW_OWNER_IDS=...
+OPENCLAW_TELEGRAM_GROUP=...
+OPENCLAW_ALERT_TOPIC=...
+```
+
+Optional tuning:
+
+```bash
+# Set to 1 to enable the timing-based heuristic (active before restart,
+# silent after). Off by default because it false-positives during quiet
+# periods.
+OPENCLAW_RESTART_SWEEP_AGGRESSIVE=1
+
+# Override the bootstrap log path (default /tmp/bootstrap-services.log)
+OPENCLAW_BOOTSTRAP_LOG=/var/log/openclaw/bootstrap.log
+```
+
+## Step 3: Write the script to the host repo
+
+Write the script content from the next section to
+`~/openclaw/scripts/restart-sweep.mjs` (or wherever the user picks).
+The script is self-contained — no npm install needed, just Node 18+
+or Bun.
+
+<!-- restart-sweep:script -->

+
+export default MessageSweepDetector;
+```
+
+## Step 4: Dry-run
+
+Run the script once manually with the env loaded, before wiring cron:
+
+```bash
+set -a; source ~/openclaw/.env; set +a
+node ~/openclaw/scripts/restart-sweep.mjs
+```
+
+Expected output (no drops):
+
+```
+🔍 Starting restart message sweep detection...
+📅 Last restart detected at: 2026-05-06T12:53:45.000Z
+📊 Found 48 total sessions
+📱 Found 39 Telegram sessions
+✅ No dropped messages detected
+```
+
+If you want to see the alert path, manually edit a session in OpenClaw
+to set `abortedLastRun: true` and re-run. After the alert fires, check
+`~/.gbrain/integrations/restart-sweep/alerted.json` — the sessionKey
+should be there with a `lastAlertedAt` timestamp. Re-running within 6
+hours suppresses the alert.
+
+## Step 5: Wire 5-minute cron
+
+Cron does NOT inherit your shell environment. `openclaw` and `node` may
+not be on cron's stripped PATH. `.env` files don't auto-load. Use the
+wrapper-script pattern below to handle both.
+
+Create `~/openclaw/scripts/restart-sweep-wrapper.sh`:
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+set -euo pipefail
+set -a
+source ~/openclaw/.env
+set +a
+exec /usr/local/bin/node ~/openclaw/scripts/restart-sweep.mjs
+```
+
+```bash
+chmod +x ~/openclaw/scripts/restart-sweep-wrapper.sh
+```
+
+Adjust `/usr/local/bin/node` to wherever your `node` actually lives
+(`which node` to find it). Same for `openclaw` if the wrapper needs to
+add it to PATH explicitly:
+
+```bash
+export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:$PATH
+```
+
+Add to crontab via `crontab -e`:
+
+```cron
+PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
+*/5 * * * * /bin/bash ~/openclaw/scripts/restart-sweep-wrapper.sh >> ~/.gbrain/integrations/restart-sweep/cron.log 2>&1
+```
+
+Verify with `crontab -l`. Wait 5 minutes, then check the cron log to
+confirm it ran:
+
+```bash
+tail -20 ~/.gbrain/integrations/restart-sweep/cron.log
+```
+
+## Step 6: Verification
+
+1. `gbrain integrations doctor restart-sweep` — should pass all three
+   health checks
+2. `~/.gbrain/integrations/restart-sweep/sweep.log.jsonl` exists and
+   gets a new entry every 5 minutes
+3. `~/.gbrain/integrations/restart-sweep/cron.log` shows successful
+   invocations (no PATH errors, no `command not found`)
+4. After a real OpenClaw restart with a stuck session, the Telegram
+   alert fires once, then the cooldown layer suppresses repeats for 6h
+
+## Tuning
+
+`OPENCLAW_RESTART_SWEEP_AGGRESSIVE=1` — enables the secondary
+"active-before-restart, silent-after" heuristic. Off by default because
+during normal quiet periods (overnight, weekends) it false-positives.
+Enable if you want maximum sensitivity AND you've established that your
+group is consistently active.
+
+The cooldown threshold (6 hours) is a constant in the script. Edit
+`COOLDOWN_HOURS` if you need different behavior — e.g. 24 hours if your
+group's normal cadence is daily.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Alerts firing repeatedly on the same session
+
+Check `~/.gbrain/integrations/restart-sweep/alerted.json`. If the
+sessionKey is missing or `lastAlertedAt` is recent, the cooldown should
+suppress. If it's not suppressing:
+
+- The state file may not be writable. Check `ls -ld
+  ~/.gbrain/integrations/restart-sweep/`.
+- `GBRAIN_HOME` may be set to a different path under cron than under
+  your shell. Check the wrapper script's env loading.
+- The script's `STATE_DIR` resolution prints in stderr if mkdir fails.
+  Check the cron log.
+
+### Telegram alert fails silently
+
+The script logs `❌ Failed to send alert (will retry next cycle)` to
+stderr when `openclaw message send` returns non-zero. Common causes:
+
+- `openclaw` not on cron's PATH (use absolute path in the wrapper)
+- Telegram bot token expired or rate-limited
+- Wrong group/topic ID (try `openclaw message send --channel telegram
+  --target $OPENCLAW_TELEGRAM_GROUP --message test` manually)
+
+When the send fails, state is NOT updated, so next cycle retries.
+
+### Bootstrap log missing
+
+If `/tmp/bootstrap-services.log` (or `$OPENCLAW_BOOTSTRAP_LOG`) doesn't
+exist, the script falls back to `now() - 30 minutes` for restartTime.
+The cooldown layer keeps this from spamming. If you want a stable
+restart anchor, point `OPENCLAW_BOOTSTRAP_LOG` at OpenClaw's actual
+startup log (whatever your deployment uses).
+
+### Cron environment
+
+The wrapper script in Step 5 handles 80% of cron-day-one failures, but
+two more knobs:
+
+- **Locale:** if your script ever interpolates user-provided text into
+  log lines, set `LANG=en_US.UTF-8` in the cron entry to avoid mojibake.
+- **Working directory:** cron starts in `$HOME` by default. The script
+  uses absolute paths everywhere, so this shouldn't matter, but if you
+  ever add a relative-path dependency, `cd ~/openclaw` in the wrapper.
+
+## Future upgrade path
+
+This recipe is the v1 shape: a script copied into the host repo and
+wired to cron. The v2 shape is a plugin Minion handler registered in
+the OpenClaw repo against `gbrain/minions` (see
+`docs/guides/plugin-handlers.md`). Plugin-handler advantages:
+
+- Built-in queue idempotency (no cooldown layer needed)
+- Submit via `gbrain jobs submit restart-sweep` from any cron / agent /
+  manual trigger
+- Centralized retry / backoff / lock management
+- One less host script to maintain
+
+When this becomes the right tradeoff (multiple deployments, multiple
+cron schedules, or just enough complexity to justify the move), promote
+to the plugin-handler shape and deprecate this recipe.

+#  R2: no `mock.module(...)` anywhere. Top-level module mocks affect every
+#      other file in the same shard process. Rename to `*.serial.test.ts`.
+#  R3: `new PGLiteEngine(` may only appear within ~50 lines following a
+#      `beforeAll(` line. Engines created at module scope (or in describe
+#      bodies) leak across files in the shard process.

+#
+# Scope:

+> `> **Convention:** see [skills/_friction-protocol.md](_friction-protocol.md).`
+
+When you encounter friction running gbrain — anything confusing, missing, surprising, or wrong — log it via `gbrain friction log` so maintainers can see it without you writing a bug report. Friction reports drive the claw-test feedback loop (the harness collects, renders, and re-runs).
+
+## When to log
+
+Log friction when any of these happens:
+
+- A command failed with a non-actionable error message
+- A doc said one thing and the tool did another
+- You couldn't find the next step
+- A setup command needed a manual workaround
+- A flag exists but isn't documented in `--help`
+- A success condition was unclear (you couldn't tell if the command worked)
+
+Log delight (positive signal) when:
+
+- Something worked on the first try and the docs were exactly right
+- An error message handed you the fix
+- A flag you guessed at turned out to exist with the obvious name
+
+## How to log
+
+```
+gbrain friction log \
+  --severity {confused|error|blocker|nit} \
+  --phase <which-phase-or-command> \
+  --message "<one-line-what-happened>" \
+  [--hint "<one-line-what-could-be-better>"]
+```
+
+For delight, add `--kind delight` and pick any severity.
+
+The CLI auto-fills `ts`, `cwd`, `gbrain_version`, and resolves `run_id` from `$GBRAIN_FRICTION_RUN_ID` (set by the harness) or falls back to `standalone.jsonl`. So you can call this anywhere — inside a harness run, manually during normal use, or from a scripted test.
+
+## Severity guide
+
+| severity   | meaning |
+|------------|---------|
+| `blocker`  | Couldn't proceed at all. Hard stop. |
+| `error`    | Command failed unexpectedly. |
+| `confused` | Docs/tool mismatch, ambiguity, missing pointer. |
+| `nit`      | Polish opportunity. Cosmetic or low-impact. |
+
+Be specific: "doctor says `schema_version=0` and points at apply-migrations, but apply-migrations exits 0 with no output" beats "doctor was confusing."
+
+## Inspecting reports
+
+```
+gbrain friction list                      # recent runs with counts
+gbrain friction render --run-id <id>      # markdown report (default)
+gbrain friction render --run-id <id> --json
+gbrain friction summary --run-id <id>     # friction + delight side-by-side
+```
+
+`render` defaults to `--redact` for markdown (strips `$HOME`/`$CWD` to `<HOME>`/`<CWD>` placeholders) so reports paste safely into PRs and issues.

+
+## What this is
+
+A claim-verification flow for academic / research statements. When a
+book, article, or speaker cites a study or quotes a number, this skill
+traces the claim through:
+
+```
+claim → publication → methodology section → raw data source → independent verification
+```
+
+At each step, it answers:
+
+- **Where does this number come from?** (Self-generated? Survey? Government data?)
+- **What's the baseline?** (Reduction from what? Over what time period?)
+- **Is the raw data available?** (Public? Proprietary? "Available on request"?)
+- **Has anyone independently verified it?** (Replication study? Government audit?)
+- **Are there confounding factors?** (Other interventions, policy changes, COVID, sampling bias?)
+- **Is the comparison fair?** (Cherry-picked comparison group? Survivorship bias?)
+
+The output is a brain page under `concepts/<claim-slug>.md` that records
+the claim, the trace, and the verdict — so future references to the
+same claim can re-use the verified analysis.
+
+## When to use this
+
+- A book quotes a study and you want to confirm it's real and not
+  miscited
+- An article makes a quantified claim ("X reduced Y by 40%") that you
+  want traced to the source data
+- You're writing something that depends on a piece of research and you
+  want to verify the underlying paper holds up
+- You're updating a brain page that cites a research claim and you want
+  to record the verification status alongside
+
+## What this skill is NOT
+
+- Not adversarial / oppo work. The point is rigor, not takedown.
+- Not generic web research — use `perplexity-research` directly for
+  open-ended topic exploration.
+- Not a brain-only lookup — that's `gbrain query`.
+
+## How it works (D7/α: pure routing through perplexity-research)
+
+academic-verify is a thin orchestrator. The actual web search is done
+by [perplexity-research](../perplexity-research/SKILL.md). academic-verify's
+job is the *workflow*: scoping the claim precisely, sending it through
+perplexity-research with citation-mode, then formatting the response
+into a verdict-shaped brain page.
+
+```
+Step 1: Scope the claim
+  Pin down EXACTLY what's being claimed:
+    • Quote: who said what?
+    • Source: which paper / dataset / survey?
+    • Number: what specific quantity is claimed?
+    • Period: over what time range?
+
+Step 2: Brain-first lookup
+  gbrain query "<paper title> OR <author name> OR <claim keywords>"
+  If the brain has prior verification of this claim, reuse it.
+
+Step 3: Invoke perplexity-research with citation-mode prompt
+  Send the claim + brain context to perplexity-research with a prompt
+  that explicitly asks for:
+    • Original publication (title, authors, journal, year, DOI)
+    • Methodology section summary
+    • Raw data availability (public repo? proprietary?)
+    • Independent replication status (Retraction Watch / PubPeer hits)
+    • Citations of the paper that critique or contextualize it
+
+Step 4: Format the verdict
+  Write the result to concepts/<claim-slug>.md. The verdict is one of:
+    • Verified — claim is accurate; raw data available; replication exists
+    • Partially verified — claim correct on the underlying paper but
+      methodology has known limits; record limits explicitly
+    • Unverifiable — no public data, no replication; not enough to act
+    • Misattributed — the claim cites a paper but the paper doesn't say that
+    • Retracted / disputed — paper has known retraction or
+      well-documented critique
+
+Step 5: Cross-link to original sources
+  Add the paper authors to people/ if they have brain pages, or create
+  one if notable. Iron Law per conventions/quality.md.
+```
+
+## Output: brain page format
+

+date: YYYY-MM-DD

+
+## Standards (the rigor bar)
+
+- **Verified** — only when the underlying paper exists, raw data is
+  public OR an independent lab has confirmed the result, and the citing
+  source represents the claim accurately.
+- **Partial** — paper is real and findings stand, but the citation
+  context oversells (e.g., "X causes Y" when the paper shows
+  correlation, or "all studies find X" when it's one underpowered study).
+- **Unverifiable** — the underlying number can't be traced to source
+  data, no replication has been done, no independent confirmation
+  exists. Not the same as "wrong" — say "we couldn't verify."
+- **Misattributed** — the citation points to a paper, but the paper
+  doesn't actually say what the citation claims. Common in policy briefs.
+- **Retracted / disputed** — paper has been retracted, has a major
+  expression-of-concern, or has well-documented critique that
+  contradicts the headline finding.
+
+Never claim a problem without evidence. The verification document
+itself is the artifact — if the claim holds up, say so plainly. If it
+doesn't, the trace speaks for itself.
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+- ❌ Skipping the brain-first lookup. Re-doing verification we've
+  already done is wasted Perplexity spend.
+- ❌ Bypassing perplexity-research and inventing the lookup. The
+  citations from Perplexity are the evidence — without them, the
+  verdict is just opinion.
+- ❌ Stating "Verified" without confirming raw data availability.
+  Replication trumps any single paper.
+- ❌ Stating "Unverifiable" when you simply didn't look hard enough.
+  The verdict is on the source, not on your search effort.

+
+## Safety gate (REQUIRED, no exceptions)
+
+archive-crawler refuses to run unless `archive-crawler.scan_paths:` is
+explicitly set in `gbrain.yml`. This is a deliberate safety fence against
+the agent over-scoping a scan and ingesting sensitive content (tax PDFs,
+medical records, credentials).
+
+```yaml
+# gbrain.yml — the allow-list is mandatory
+archive-crawler:
+  scan_paths:
+    - ~/Documents/writing/
+    - ~/Dropbox/Archive/
+    - /mnt/backup/old-letters/
+  # Optional deny-list inside the allow-list:
+  # deny_paths:
+  #   - ~/Documents/finances/
+  #   - ~/Documents/medical/
+```
+
+If `scan_paths` is empty or missing, the skill exits with:
+
+```
+archive-crawler: refusing to run. No `archive-crawler.scan_paths:` allow-list
+in gbrain.yml. Add explicit paths the agent is permitted to scan, then re-run.
+This is a safety fence — the agent will not infer what's safe to read.
+```
+
+This contract is enforced by `src/core/storage-config.ts` (mirrors the
+`db_tracked` / `db_only` allow-list pattern from v0.22.11 storage tiering).
+
+## What this is
+
+Generic engine for exploring any tree of personal content within an
+explicit allow-list. Works on local mounts, Dropbox API targets,
+Backblaze B2, Gmail takeouts (`.mbox`), and similar archives. Filters
+for "gold" (the user's own writing, ideas, relationships) and surfaces
+it interactively for review. Skips noise (system files, configs, binary
+blobs).
+
+## Concepts
+
+### Source
+
+A source is any tree of files to explore. Sources have:
+
+- **type**: `local` | `dropbox` | `backblaze` | `gmail-takeout` | `mbox` | `pst`
+- **root**: filesystem path, Dropbox path, B2 prefix, mbox path
+- **manifest**: a brain page tracking progress at
+  `projects/<archive-slug>/STATUS.md`
+
+### Manifest
+
+Every archive exploration gets a manifest brain page that tracks:
+
+1. **Tree inventory** — folders / files / sizes / types
+2. **Triage status** — each item: `⬜ unseen` / `👀 reviewed` /
+   `✅ ingested` / `⏭️ skip` / `🔥 high-signal`
+3. **User reactions** — exact quotes when they react (per
+   conventions/quality.md exact-phrasing rule)
+4. **Priority queue** — what to explore next, ranked
+5. **Session log** — timestamped record of what was shown per session
+
+### Gold filter
+
+Before showing anything to the user, apply the gold filter:
+
+| Keep (show) | Skip (note existence, don't show) |
+|-------------|-----------------------------------|
+| Personal writing (journals, letters, reflections, essays) | System files, configs, package.json, node_modules |
+| Conversations (IM logs, email threads with substance) | Binary blobs (images / video) |
+| Ideas, theses, frameworks | Receipts, invoices, tax docs |
+| Relationship material (letters to / from people who matter) | Spam, newsletters, mailing-list bulk |
+| Creative work (poetry, stories, code with soul) | Corrupted / null files |
+| Origin stories (first versions of things that became important) | |
+| Emotional content (anger, love, grief, discovery) | |
+
+## Protocol
+
+### Phase 1: Inventory
+
+When pointed at a new source:
+
+1. **Confirm scan_paths is set** (safety gate). Exit if not.
+2. **Map the tree** — list folders + files + sizes + date ranges.
+3. **Classify folders** — group by likely content type (writing, email,
+   code, photos, docs, system).
+4. **Create manifest** — write `projects/<archive-slug>/STATUS.md` with
+   the full inventory.
+5. **Propose priority queue** — rank folders by likely gold density.
+6. **Present to user** — show the map and proposed order. Let them
+   override.
+
+### Phase 2: Crawl
+
+Work through folders in priority order:
+
+1. **Read before showing** — open each candidate file, apply the gold
+   filter, skip noise.
+2. **Show one at a time** — present gold items individually for review.
+3. **Capture exact reaction** — track the user's response in the
+   manifest using their exact words (per conventions/quality.md).
+4. **Ingest if worth keeping** — create a brain page immediately.
+5. **Update manifest** — mark item status after each interaction.
+6. **Never re-show** — check the manifest before presenting anything.
+
+### Phase 3: Ingest
+
+When an item is worth keeping, file it by **primary subject** per
+`_brain-filing-rules.md`:
+
+- User's own writing / ideas / origin-story content → `originals/<slug>.md`
+- Reflections / personal-life content → `personal/<slug>.md`
+- Product / business ideas → `ideas/<slug>.md`
+- Letters or threads about a specific person → `people/<person>/timeline`
+  back-link plus the letter at `personal/<slug>.md` or `originals/<slug>.md`
+
+**The skill is schema-generic.** It does NOT bake in any specific
+era-folder structure (e.g., `originals/archive/` for pre-2003,
+`originals/yc-era/` for post-2019, etc.). The user's filing rules from
+`_brain-filing-rules.json` are read at runtime; the agent decides per-page
+where content lands within those sanctioned directories.
+
+Brain page format:
+
+```markdown
+---
+title: "[Title or first line]"
+type: original
+source_type: "[local|dropbox|backblaze|gmail-takeout|mbox|pst]"
+source_path: "[path within the allow-listed scan_paths]"
+date: "YYYY-MM-DD"  # date from the file metadata or content
+people: ["person-1", "person-2"]
+tags: ["tag-1", "tag-2"]
+---
+
+# [Title]
+
+[Summary: what it is, when it's from, why it matters]
+
+**User's reaction:** [exact quote, no paraphrasing]
+

+
+```bash
+# Validate first; many PSTs are null bytes
+python3 -c "
+with open('/path/to/file.pst', 'rb') as f:
+    print('Valid PST' if f.read(4) == b'!BDN' else 'CORRUPT/NULL')
+"
+# If valid:
+readpst -o /tmp/pst-output /path/to/file.pst
+```
+
+### `.zip` / `.tar` / `.tar.gz`
+
+Extract to a temp dir, then recurse through the extracted tree.
+
+### Images
+
+Note existence + metadata (filename, size, date). Don't show unless the
+user asks. Flag scans / portraits as potentially personal.

+## Anti-Patterns

+  This is the safety contract — never bypass.
+- ❌ Hardcoding era-specific filing paths (e.g., `originals/archive/`,
+  `originals/yc-era/`). Read filing rules at runtime instead.
+- ❌ Re-showing items already marked in the manifest. The user's time
+  is the scarcest resource.
+- ❌ Paraphrasing reactions. Exact words only.
+- ❌ Wrapping found content in lessons or takeaways. Let stories breathe.
+- ❌ Skipping back-links when content references people / companies who
+  have brain pages. Iron Law per conventions/quality.md.

+>
+> **Convention:** see [_brain-filing-rules.md](../_brain-filing-rules.md) for

+> personalized one-of-one synthesis output uses the sanctioned
+> `media/articles/<slug>-personalized.md` exception.
+
+## What this does
+
+Takes an article brain page that's a wall of raw extracted text and rewrites
+it as a structured page with:
+
+- **Executive Summary** — 2-3 sentences, the ONE thing worth remembering
+- **Why It Matters** — connects to the user's specific projects + interests
+  (read from brain context, not assumed)
+- **Quotable Lines** — 3-5 VERBATIM quotes worth referencing in essays
+- **Key Insights** — actual insights, not topic labels
+- **Surprising or Counterintuitive** — what makes this content unique
+- **See Also** — standard markdown links to related brain pages
+
+Raw source content is preserved in a collapsed `<details>` section so the
+original is never lost.
+
+## When to invoke
+
+- New article page lands in the brain via media-ingest with `needs_enrichment: true`
+- Existing article page is a wall of text under a `## Content` header with
+  no synthesis
+- User says a brain page is useless, boring, or a dump
+- An LLM-judge brain-quality eval fails on quotability or actionability for
+  an article page
+
+## The pipeline
+
+```
+1. READ      → Open the article brain page; parse frontmatter + body.
+2. SCAN      → Look for ## Content (raw dump) and absence of ## Executive Summary.
+3. CONTEXT   → gbrain query the article's key entities to ground "Why It Matters".
+4. ENRICH    → Sonnet (default) or Opus (for high-value content) restructures.
+5. WRITE     → Replace ## Content with the structured sections; preserve raw
+               source in <details>; clear needs_enrichment in frontmatter.
+6. CROSS-LINK→ Add back-links from referenced people/companies pages
+               (Iron Law per conventions/quality.md).
+```
+
+## Invocation
+
+The skill itself is markdown instructions to the agent. It does NOT ship a
+deterministic CLI command in v0.25.1. The agent uses gbrain's existing
+operations:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Find candidate pages
+gbrain query "needs_enrichment: true type:article" --limit 50
+
+# 2. For each candidate, read the page
+gbrain get media/articles/<slug>
+
+# 3. Enrich via the agent's LLM (Sonnet by default; Opus for high-value)
+#    The agent reads the raw content + brain context + writes the structured page.
+
+# 4. Write the enriched page
+#    Use the put_page operation with the new structured markdown body.
+
+# 5. Cross-link entities
+#    For every person/company mentioned, add a timeline back-link.
+```
+
+## Quality bar
+
+An enriched page passes if it has:
+
+- ✅ `## Executive Summary` (2-3 sentences)
+- ✅ `## Quotable Lines` with ≥3 verbatim quotes (literal quotes, not paraphrase)
+- ✅ `## Key Insights` with ≥3 bullets (insights, not topic labels)
+- ✅ `## Why It Matters` connecting to specific brain context (not generic)
+- ✅ `## See Also` with standard markdown links (NOT `[[wiki-links]]`)
+- ✅ `<details>` block preserving the raw source content
+
+## Model selection
+
+| Model | Use when | Quote accuracy |
+|-------|----------|----------------|
+| **Sonnet** (default) | Bulk enrichment, most articles | Good — occasionally paraphrases |
+| **Opus** | High-value content, original-thinking pieces, longreads | Excellent — respects "verbatim" instruction |
+
+Rule: for bulk enrichment, do a Sonnet draft pass and spot-check 5 with
+the LLM-judge brain-quality eval. If quotes are paraphrased, switch to
+Opus for that batch.
+
+## Link convention
+
+All cross-references use standard markdown links: `[Title](relative/path.md)`.
+NEVER use `[[wiki-links]]` — they don't render on GitHub.
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+- ❌ Paraphrasing quotes ("the author argues that…"). Quotes are verbatim
+  or they're not quotes.
+- ❌ Generic "Why It Matters" ("this is important because innovation").
+  Tie to specific brain context or remove the section.
+- ❌ Inventing topic labels and calling them insights. An insight is a
+  thing the article says that you didn't already know.
+- ❌ Discarding the raw source. Always wrap it in `<details>`.
+- ❌ Re-enriching non-idempotently — check the `needs_enrichment` flag in
+  frontmatter; skip if already false.

+
+## What this does
+
+Given a book (EPUB or PDF), produce a brain page where every chapter is
+summarized in detail on the left and mirrored back to the reader's actual life
+on the right, using their own words, situations, people, and patterns from
+the brain. Output is a brain page at `media/books/<slug>-personalized.md`.
+
+This is NOT a generic book summary. The right column is the value: it makes
+the book read like a therapist who knows the reader is leaving notes in the
+margins. If the user wants a flat summary instead, route them to a different
+skill.
+
+## Trust contract (read this before running)
+
+book-mirror runs as a CLI command (`gbrain book-mirror`), NOT as a pure
+markdown skill that the agent dispatches via tools. The CLI is the trusted
+runtime; the skill is the orchestration prose around it.
+
+What this means for the agent:
+
+- The CLI submits N read-only subagent jobs (one per chapter). Each subagent
+  has `allowed_tools: ['get_page', 'search']` only. They CANNOT call
+  put_page or any mutating op. They produce markdown analysis via their
+  final message.
+- The CLI reads each child's `job.result`, assembles the final
+  two-column page, and writes it via a single operator-trust `put_page`.
+- This means untrusted EPUB/PDF content cannot prompt-inject any
+  `people/*` page. The trust narrowing happens at the tool allowlist,
+  not at the slug-prefix layer.
+
+## The pipeline
+
+```
+1. ACQUIRE   → User has the EPUB/PDF locally (manual; book-acquisition is
+               not currently shipped — see "Acquiring the book" below).
+2. EXTRACT   → Pull chapter text from EPUB/PDF into one .txt per chapter.
+3. CONTEXT   → Gather everything the brain knows about the reader.
+4. ANALYZE   → `gbrain book-mirror` fans out N read-only subagents.
+5. ASSEMBLE  → CLI reads each child result and writes one put_page.
+6. PDF       → Optional: render via skills/brain-pdf for delivery.

+book-acquisition (legal-grey-area downloader) was deliberately not shipped
+in this skill wave. The user drops the EPUB/PDF manually. Common paths the
+user might use:
+
+```bash
+# User-supplied path
+ls path/to/book.epub
+ls path/to/book.pdf
+
+# Or already in the brain repo (recommended for tracking)
+ls $BRAIN_DIR/media/books/
+```
+
+Resolve `$BRAIN_DIR` from the gbrain config (`gbrain config get sync.repo_path`)
+or accept it from the user.
+
+## 2. Text extraction
+
+Goal: one `.txt` file per chapter under a temp directory. The agent has
+shell + python access; the CLI is downstream of this and takes the
+extracted directory as input.
+
+### EPUB
+
+```bash
+SLUG="this-book"                                # kebab-case
+WORK="$(mktemp -d)/$SLUG"
+mkdir -p "$WORK/chapters"
+unzip -o path/to/book.epub -d "$WORK/unpacked"
+
+# Find content files (XHTML/HTML), sorted (chapter order = sort order)
+find "$WORK/unpacked" -name "*.xhtml" -o -name "*.html" | sort > "$WORK/files.txt"
+
+# Strip HTML to text per chapter
+python3 - <<'PY'
+from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
+import os, sys
+work = os.environ['WORK']
+files = open(f'{work}/files.txt').read().splitlines()
+for i, path in enumerate(files, 1):
+    html = open(path, encoding='utf-8', errors='replace').read()
+    text = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser').get_text('\n')
+    text = '\n'.join(line.strip() for line in text.splitlines() if line.strip())
+    with open(f'{work}/chapters/{i:02d}.txt', 'w') as f:
+        f.write(text)
+PY
+```
+
+If `bs4` is missing: `pip3 install beautifulsoup4 lxml`.
+
+Inspect the chapter files to identify which are real chapters vs front
+matter (TOC, copyright, acknowledgments). Often the EPUB ships one file
+per chapter; sometimes multiple chapters per file. Use
+`head -5 "$WORK/chapters/"*.txt` to spot-check.
+
+### PDF
+
+```bash
+pdftotext -layout path/to/book.pdf "$WORK/full.txt"
+```
+
+Then split by chapter heading (look for "Chapter N", "CHAPTER N", or
+all-caps title lines) using `awk` or `python`. If the PDF is a scan with
+no embedded text, fall back to OCR via `skills/brain-pdf` or another
+vision tool.
+
+### Quality check
+
+For each chapter file:
+
+- Word count > 1500 (typical chapter range 2k–8k words).
+- No HTML tags.
+- Paragraphs preserved with `\n\n`.
+
+Save a `chapters/INDEX.md` mapping chapter number → title → file → word
+count for reference.
+
+## 3. Context gathering
+
+This is the most critical step. The right column is only as good as the
+context fed to each chapter subagent.
+
+### What to pull
+
+1. **Templates: USER.md and SOUL.md** if the user maintains them
+   (gbrain ships templates at `templates/USER.md` and `templates/SOUL.md`;
+   they live in the brain repo when populated). Read full.
+2. **Recent daily memory** — last 14 days of brain pages under
+   `wiki/personal/reflections/` or wherever the user files daily notes.
+3. **Topic-relevant brain searches** tuned to the book's themes:
+   - `gbrain query "marriage"`, `gbrain query "couples therapy"` for a
+     marriage book.
+   - `gbrain query "founders"`, `gbrain query "fundraising"` for a
+     business book.
+   - `gbrain query "shame"`, `gbrain query "anger"` for a psychology book.
+4. **Brain pages for relevant entities** — `gbrain query "<name>"` for
+   people who will likely come up.
+5. **Standing patterns** — anything in the user's reflections or
+   originals that's been recurring.
+
+### Assemble a context pack
+
+Write everything to a single file the CLI can read:
+
+```bash
+CONTEXT="$WORK/context.md"
+{
+  echo "## USER.md (if any)"
+  [ -f "$BRAIN_DIR/USER.md" ] && cat "$BRAIN_DIR/USER.md"
+  echo
+  echo "## SOUL.md (if any)"
+  [ -f "$BRAIN_DIR/SOUL.md" ] && cat "$BRAIN_DIR/SOUL.md"
+  echo
+  echo "## Recent reflections (last 14 days)"
+  # Pull recent daily reflections — adapt to the user's filing scheme
+  # ...
+  echo
+  echo "## Topic-relevant brain pages"
+  # gbrain query the book's key themes, embed top results
+  # ...
+  echo
+  echo "## Themes & cruxes"
+  # A 1-page summary, written by the agent, calling out:
+  # - What's currently active in the user's life that this book intersects
+  # - Specific quotes from the user that map to book themes
+  # - People and dates that should appear in the right column
+} > "$CONTEXT"
+```
+
+Make this dense. It's read by every chapter subagent.
+
+## 4. Analysis: invoke `gbrain book-mirror`
+
+```bash
+gbrain book-mirror \
+  --chapters-dir "$WORK/chapters" \
+  --context-file "$CONTEXT" \
+  --slug "$SLUG" \
+  --title "Book Title Goes Here" \
+  --author "Author Name" \
+  --model claude-opus-4-7
+```
+
+The CLI:
+
+- Validates inputs and loads chapter files.
+- Prints a cost estimate (~$0.30/chapter at Opus) and prompts to confirm.
+- Submits N child subagent jobs with read-only `allowed_tools`.
+- Waits for every child to complete.
+- Reads each child's `job.result` (the markdown analysis text).
+- Assembles all chapters into one page with frontmatter + intro + per-chapter
+  sections + closing.
+- Writes ONE `put_page` to `media/books/<slug>-personalized.md`.
+- Reports a JSON envelope on stdout:
+  `{"slug": "...", "chapters_total": N, "chapters_completed": N, "chapters_failed": 0}`.
+
+If any chapter failed, the CLI exits 1 and the user can re-run — idempotency
+keys (`book-mirror:<slug>:ch-<N>`) deduplicate completed chapters at the
+queue level, so retry is cheap.
+
+### Model: Opus by default
+
+The default model is `claude-opus-4-7`. Sonnet works (use `--model
+claude-sonnet-4-6`) but the right-column quality drops noticeably — the
+texture that makes the analysis read like a therapist who knows the user
+needs Opus-grade reasoning.
+
+### Cost gate
+
+The CLI refuses to spend in a non-TTY context without `--yes`. CI / scripted
+invocations must pass `--yes` explicitly. TTY users get a `[y/N]` prompt
+before submission.
+
+## 5. PDF (optional)
+
+After the brain page is written, render to PDF using `skills/brain-pdf`:
+
+```bash
+gbrain put_page  # already done by the CLI; nothing to add here
+# Then invoke brain-pdf:
+# (see skills/brain-pdf/SKILL.md for the make-pdf invocation)
+```
+
+## 6. Fact-check and cross-link
+
+After the page lands, run a fact-check pass on factual claims about the
+reader (parents, siblings, marriage history, jobs, heritage). Common error
+patterns to look for:
+
+- Conflating the reader's parents' relationship with patterns in extended
+  family.
+- Inventing therapy backstory ("after his parents' divorce…") when the
+  reader's parents are still together.
+- Wrong number/age of children, wrong spouse / kid / sibling names.
+
+If you can't verify a claim, remove it. Better to lose texture than to
+introduce a falsehood.
+
+Cross-link entities mentioned in the analysis:
+
+- For every person the right column references with a brain page, add a
+  back-link from `people/<slug>` to the new `media/books/<slug>-personalized`
+  page (per `conventions/quality.md` Iron Law).
+
+## Quality bar (the bar)
+
+The **left column** should:
+
+- Preserve the author's actual stories, statistics, frameworks, examples.
+- Quote memorable phrases verbatim.
+- Be detailed enough that the reader could skip the book and not lose much.
+
+The **right column** should:
+
+- Use the reader's *actual quoted words* from the context pack.
+- Reference *specific* dates, situations, people by name.
+- Read like a therapist who knows the reader is leaving notes in the margins.
+- Be plain about direct hits ("This is exactly the [name a real situation]").
+- Be honest about misses ("This chapter is less directly relevant
+  because…"). Don't force connections.
+
+The **whole document** should feel like one coherent voice, calibrated to
+the reader's actual life rather than a generic profile, and honest about
+where the book's framing breaks down for this specific reader.
+
+## Anti-patterns (do not do these)
+
+- ❌ **Skimming chapters.** Standing instruction: preserve detail.
+- ❌ **Generic right column.** "This might apply if you've ever felt…" →
+  kill on sight.
+- ❌ **Factual errors about the reader's life.** Always fact-check after
+  assembly.
+- ❌ **Giving the subagent put_page access.** Trust contract is read-only;
+  the CLI does the writing.
+- ❌ **Forcing connections.** If a chapter doesn't apply, say so plainly.
+- ❌ **Sycophancy or moralizing in the right column.** No "you should…",
+  no "consider…", no "perhaps it's time to…".
+- ❌ **Truncating the LEFT column.** The book's actual content needs to
+  survive.
+
+## Output checklist
+
+- [ ] Book file exists locally (path known).
+- [ ] Chapter texts under `$WORK/chapters/*.txt` with sane word counts.
+- [ ] Context pack at `$WORK/context.md` is dense.
+- [ ] `gbrain book-mirror --chapters-dir … --context-file … --slug … --title …` returned exit 0.
+- [ ] `media/books/<slug>-personalized.md` exists in the brain.
+- [ ] Fact-check pass complete (no errors against USER.md or other source-of-truth pages).
+- [ ] Cross-links added from referenced people/companies.
+- [ ] Optional: PDF rendered via brain-pdf and delivered.

+version: 0.1.0
+description: Generate a publication-quality PDF from any brain page via the gstack make-pdf binary. Strips YAML frontmatter, sanitizes emoji, applies running headers and page numbers. Brain page is always the source of truth; PDF is a rendering.
+triggers:
+  - "make pdf from brain"

+  - "convert brain page to pdf"
+  - "publish this page as pdf"
+  - "export brain page"

+
+# brain-pdf — Render a Brain Page to Publication-Quality PDF
+
+> **Convention:** see [conventions/quality.md](../conventions/quality.md) for
+> output rules. The PDF is a rendering — never the primary artifact. If a
+> PDF exists, the source brain page exists behind it.
+
+## The rule
+
+The brain page is ALWAYS the source of truth. The PDF is a rendering of
+it, never a standalone artifact. If a PDF exists somewhere, the brain
+page must exist behind it.
+
+## What this does
+
+Renders a brain page (markdown with frontmatter) into a
+publication-quality PDF using the gstack `make-pdf` binary. Output is
+suitable for:
+
+- Sharing a personalized book mirror via email or Telegram
+- Delivering a strategic-reading playbook as a clean read
+- Producing a briefing or report with running headers and page numbers
+- Archiving a long-form essay in a portable format
+
+## Prerequisite: gstack make-pdf
+
+This skill depends on the gstack `make-pdf` binary at:
+
+```
+$HOME/.claude/skills/gstack/make-pdf/dist/pdf
+```
+
+The user must have gstack co-installed. If absent, the skill cannot run.
+A future v0.26+ may bundle a fallback PDF renderer; for v0.25.1 gstack
+is a soft prereq.
+
+Verify it exists before invoking:
+
+```bash
+P="$HOME/.claude/skills/gstack/make-pdf/dist/pdf"
+[ -x "$P" ] || { echo "make-pdf not installed; install gstack" >&2; exit 1; }
+```
+
+## Workflow
+
+```
+1. RESOLVE  → Confirm the brain page exists (gbrain get <slug>).
+2. STRIP    → Remove YAML frontmatter — the renderer would otherwise
+              dump it as a full page of raw metadata text.
+3. RENDER   → Invoke make-pdf with sane defaults (no --cover, no --toc).
+4. DELIVER  → Hand the PDF to the requester via the agent's preferred
+              channel (do not use raw `MEDIA:` tags on Telegram —
+              they fail silently).
+```
+
+## Invocation
+
+```bash
+SLUG="path/to/page"
+P="$HOME/.claude/skills/gstack/make-pdf/dist/pdf"
+
+# 1. Confirm the page exists.
+gbrain get "$SLUG" > /dev/null || { echo "Page $SLUG not found" >&2; exit 1; }
+
+# 2. Get the raw markdown. Two paths: read from the brain repo (if user
+#    syncs locally) OR ask gbrain for the body via the API.
+BRAIN_DIR=$(gbrain config get sync.repo_path 2>/dev/null || echo)
+if [ -n "$BRAIN_DIR" ] && [ -f "$BRAIN_DIR/$SLUG.md" ]; then
+  RAW="$BRAIN_DIR/$SLUG.md"
+else
+  RAW=$(mktemp /tmp/brain-page-XXXXXX.md)
+  gbrain get "$SLUG" --raw > "$RAW"   # whatever flag exposes raw body
+fi
+
+# 3. Strip YAML frontmatter — sed: skip the opening '---' through the
+#    closing '---' (lines 1..N), then keep everything after.
+CLEAN=$(mktemp /tmp/brain-page-clean-XXXXXX.md)
+sed '1{/^---$/!q}; /^---$/,/^---$/d' "$RAW" > "$CLEAN"
+
+# 4. Render. NO --cover, NO --toc by default — they look corporate
+#    and waste space. Add them only if explicitly requested.
+OUT="/tmp/$(basename "$SLUG").pdf"
+CONTAINER=1 "$P" generate "$CLEAN" "$OUT"
+
+echo "Rendered: $OUT"
+```
+
+`CONTAINER=1` is mandatory in containerized environments — it tells
+Playwright to skip Chromium sandboxing. Harmless on bare-metal.
+
+## Common patterns
+
+```bash
+# Default — clean PDF, no cover, no TOC
+brain-pdf <slug>
+
+# Draft watermark for in-progress work
+CONTAINER=1 "$P" generate --watermark DRAFT "$CLEAN" "$OUT"
+
+# Optional cover + TOC if the user explicitly asks
+CONTAINER=1 "$P" generate --cover --toc "$CLEAN" "$OUT"
+
+# Custom title + author override (otherwise pulled from frontmatter)
+CONTAINER=1 "$P" generate --title "Custom Title" --author "Custom Author" "$CLEAN" "$OUT"
+```
+
+## Defaults: NO cover, NO TOC
+
+These flags are off by default because they look corporate and waste
+space on most personal-knowledge content. Only add them when the user
+explicitly asks for "formal" output (e.g., something they're sending to
+a board or printing as a deliverable).
+
+## Font requirements
+
+The renderer needs:
+
+- `fonts-liberation` (Helvetica/Arial substitute)
+- `fonts-noto-cjk` (Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters)
+- Minimum body font size: 10pt (page chrome 9pt)
+- Body text: 11pt
+
+If running in an environment without these fonts, install them via the
+host's package manager (`apt install fonts-liberation fonts-noto-cjk` on
+Debian/Ubuntu containers).
+
+## Delivery
+
+After rendering, deliver via the agent's preferred channel:
+
+- **Telegram:** use the `message` tool with `filePath="/tmp/<slug>.pdf"`
+  attachment. NEVER use raw `MEDIA:` tags — they fail silently.
+- **Email:** attach via the host's email tool.
+- **Direct file response:** print the PDF path; the user can pull it
+  manually.
+
+Always include the brain page link in the delivery message so the user
+can also see it on GitHub / locally. The PDF is a rendering; the source
+is the artifact.
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+- ❌ Generating a PDF without first confirming the brain page exists.
+  No source = no PDF.
+- ❌ Skipping the frontmatter strip. The renderer dumps frontmatter as
+  raw text on the first page; ugly.
+- ❌ Skipping emoji sanitization. Emoji that don't map to the rendering
+  font show up as `□` boxes.
+- ❌ Adding `--cover` or `--toc` by default. Off unless asked.
+- ❌ Using raw `MEDIA:` tags for Telegram delivery. Use the `message`
+  tool with `filePath`.
+
+## Related skills
+
+- `skills/book-mirror/SKILL.md` — produces a brain page that's a
+  natural input to brain-pdf (chapter-by-chapter personalized analysis).
+- `skills/strategic-reading/SKILL.md` — same shape, problem-lens variant.
+- `skills/publish/SKILL.md` — share brain pages as password-protected
+  HTML (different rendering target).

 ## Contract
 
 This skill guarantees:
-- Every brain page is scanned for citation compliance
-- Missing citations are flagged with specific location
-- Malformed citations are fixed to match the standard format
-- Results reported with counts (scanned, fixed, remaining)
+
+- Every brain page is scanned for citation compliance.
+- Missing citations are flagged with specific location.
+- Malformed citations are fixed to match the standard format.
+- **(v0.25.1)** Tweet / post references without URLs are resolved via
+  X API and patched with deterministic `https://x.com/<handle>/status/<id>`
+  links.
+- Results reported with counts (scanned, fixed, remaining).
 
 ## Phases
 
-1. **Scan pages.** List pages and read each one, checking for inline `[Source: ...]` citations.
+1. **Scan pages.** List pages and read each one, checking for inline

    - Facts without any citation
    - Citations missing date
    - Citations missing source type
    - Citations with wrong format
-3. **Fix format issues.** Rewrite malformed citations to match `skills/conventions/quality.md`.
-4. **Report results.** Count: pages scanned, citations found, issues fixed, remaining gaps.

+5. **Report results.** Count: pages scanned, citations found, issues
+   fixed, tweets resolved, remaining gaps.
 
-## Output Format
+## Tweet resolution pipeline (v0.25.1 extension)
+
+For each broken tweet reference, follow this chain. The actual API call
+goes through whatever X integration the host has configured (typical
+shape: a recipe under `recipes/x-api/` with handle / search-all
+endpoints).
+
+### Step 1: Identify broken references
+
+Scan the page for patterns that indicate tweet references without URLs:
+
+- Contains words like `tweeted`, `posted`, `said on X`, `RT`, `retweet`,
+  `X post`
+- Contains quoted text that looks like a tweet (short, punchy, often
+  starts with a quote)
+- Has `[Source: ... X/Twitter ...]` without an `x.com` URL
+- References engagement metrics (likes, impressions) without a link
+
+### Step 2: Extract searchable content
+
+From each broken reference, extract:
+
+- The **handle** (if mentioned: `@<username>`)
+- The **quoted text** (if available)
+- The **approximate date** (often present in surrounding timeline entries)
+
+### Step 3: Search for the actual tweet
+
+Use the host's X API integration. Query patterns:
+
+```
+# Handle + quoted text:
+from:<handle> "<exact quote fragment>"
+
+# Quoted text only:
+"<exact quote fragment>"
+
+# Original of a retweet:
+"<exact quote>" -is:retweet
+```
+
+### Step 4: Verify and extract metadata
+
+Once a candidate is found:
+
+- Confirm the text matches the quoted fragment.
+- Pull the tweet id, author handle, engagement metrics (likes / RTs /
+  impressions).
+- Construct the URL: `https://x.com/<handle>/status/<tweet_id>`.
+
+### Step 5: Patch the brain page
+
+Replace the broken citation with a proper one:
+
+**Before:**
+
+```
+"<quote fragment>" [Source: <some hand-wavy attribution>]
+```
+
+**After:**
+
+```
+"<full verified quote>" — <N> likes, <N> RTs, <N> impressions
+[Source: [X/<handle>, YYYY-MM-DD](https://x.com/<handle>/status/<tweet_id>)]
+```
+
+## Batch mode
+
+When sweeping many pages:
+
+### Find candidate pages
+
+```bash
+# Pages mentioning tweets but with no x.com links
+for f in $(find . -name "*.md" -not -path "./node_modules/*"); do
+  refs=$(grep -ci "tweet\|posted\|x post\|RT\|retweet\|said on X" "$f")
+  links=$(grep -c "x.com/.*/status/" "$f")
+  if [ "$refs" -gt 2 ] && [ "$links" -eq 0 ]; then
+    echo "$f"
+  fi
+done
+```
+
+### Priority order
+
+1. Recently created / updated pages — fresh broken refs are easiest to
+   resolve while context is fresh.
+2. High-traffic pages (frequent reads / writes from other skills).
+3. Everything else — bulk cleanup over time.
+
+### Rate limiting
+
+- X API: respect the host's tier limits; don't hammer.
+- Target ~50 pages per batch run.
+- 1-3 API calls per page (search + verify).
+- Batch-commit every 10-20 pages so a partial failure doesn't lose
+  progress.

+- ❌ Inventing citations for facts that have no source. Flag them.
+- ❌ Removing facts that lack citations (flag them; don't delete).
+- ❌ Fixing citations without reading the full page context.
+- ❌ Batch-fixing without checking quality on a sample first
+  (see `conventions/test-before-bulk.md`).
+- ❌ Composing tweet URLs by guessing the tweet id. Always go through
+  the X API; deterministic links only.
+
+## Integration
+
+This skill can be called:
+
+- **Manually** — "fix citations on this page"
+- **As a batch cron** — weekly sweep of pages with broken refs
+- **By other skills** — `enrich` or `media-ingest` can call citation-fixer
+  before commit to validate output
+
+## Metrics
+
+If running as a recurring batch, track state in a small JSON file under
+`~/.gbrain/citation-fixer-state.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "last_run": "2026-04-15T...",
+  "pages_scanned": 0,
+  "citations_fixed": 0,
+  "tweet_links_resolved": 0,

+
+## What this solves
+
+Many ingestion pipelines (signal-detector, idea-ingest, voice-note-ingest)
+create a concept page for every idea mentioned. Over months this produces:
+
+- Thousands of stub pages, many duplicates or near-duplicates
+- Timeline entries that repeat the same source across multiple concept pages
+- No synthesis — just "the user mentioned X on this date"
+- No tier assignments — everything flat
+- No clustering — related ideas aren't linked
+
+This skill transforms that raw material into a curated intellectual map.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+Phase 1: Dedup + merge (deterministic)
+  N stubs → ~N/4 canonical concepts
+    ├── Jaccard dedup (word-overlap on titles + first-paragraph)
+    ├── Substring dedup ("founder mode" vs "founder mode vs manager mode")
+    ├── Semantic dedup (LLM: "are these the same idea?")
+    └── Merge timelines + aliases from duplicates into the canonical page
+
+Phase 2: Score + tier (deterministic + heuristic)
+  Each canonical concept → scored and tiered
+    ├── Frequency: distinct sources referencing this concept
+    ├── Timespan: first mention → last mention in days
+    ├── Breadth: distinct months it appears in
+    ├── Engagement: avg engagement on concept-bearing sources (if available)
+    └── Tier: T1 Canon | T2 Developing | T3 Speculative | T4 Riff
+
+Phase 3: Synthesize (LLM, T1+T2 only)
+  T1 + T2 concepts → rich synthesis
+    ├── Evolution narrative: how the idea sharpened over time
+    ├── Best articulation: highest-engagement or most precise quote
+    ├── Related concepts: cross-links to other concepts
+    ├── Context: what was happening when this idea emerged / evolved
+    └── Counter-positions: what this idea argues against
+
+Phase 4: Cluster + map (LLM)
+  All tiered concepts → intellectual clusters
+    ├── Group related concepts into domains (auto-named via LLM)
+    ├── Generate cluster summary pages
+    ├── Build a master concepts/README.md with the full map
+    └── Identify idea genealogies (concept A → evolved into concept B)
+```
+
+## Invocation
+
+The skill is markdown agent instructions. The agent uses gbrain's
+existing operations + LLM passes:
+
+```bash
+# 1. List all concept pages
+gbrain query "type:concept" --limit 10000 --json
+
+# 2. Phase 1 dedup — agent applies Jaccard + substring locally,
+#    then LLM passes to identify semantic duplicates.
+
+# 3. Phase 2 tier — agent scores each canonical concept based on
+#    frequency / timespan / breadth and writes tier into frontmatter.
+
+# 4. Phase 3 synthesis — for each T1/T2, agent reads the timeline
+#    + associated source pages and writes a synthesis section
+#    onto the concept page via put_page.
+
+# 5. Phase 4 clustering — agent reads the tiered concept list
+#    and writes concepts/README.md with the full intellectual map.
+```
+
+## Output: concept page format (post-synthesis)
+
+### T1 Canon — full synthesis
+
+```markdown

+title: "concept name"
+type: concept
+tier: 1
+tier_label: "Canon"

+- Earliest source: YYYY-MM-DD
+- Latest source: YYYY-MM-DD
+```
+
+## Quality gates
+
+### Dedup quality
+- No two concept pages should be "the same idea in different words."
+- Aliases preserved in frontmatter for search.
+- Run `gbrain query "type:concept"` and spot-check the count reduction.
+
+### Tier quality
+- T1 should feel like "yes, that IS one of my recurring frameworks" —
+  recognizable, recurring, sharp.
+- T2 should feel like "I'm working on this; it's getting clearer."
+- No concept should be T1 with < 4 months span or < 6 mentions.
+- No concept should be T4 with > 3 months span.
+
+### Synthesis quality
+- Captures evolution, not just repetition.
+- Uses verbatim quotes, not paraphrase.
+- Links to related concepts (markdown links, not wiki-links).
+- Does NOT hallucinate sources or dates.
+
+## Cron integration
+
+This is heavy work. Run on a cadence, not on every signal:
+
+- After a major ingestion batch completes (signal-detector burst, archive
+  crawler run, etc.).
+- Weekly cron for incremental synthesis of newly-promoted T1/T2 concepts.
+- Manual trigger for a full re-synthesis when the corpus shifts
+  significantly.
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+- ❌ Running synthesis on T3/T4 — wastes API budget on ideas that may
+  never sharpen.
+- ❌ Hallucinating quotes or dates. The timeline must be verifiable
+  against existing brain pages.
+- ❌ Generic cluster names ("Various Topics"). If you can't name the
+  cluster, the cluster isn't real.
+- ❌ Re-synthesizing already-synthesized T1s without new source material.
+  Idempotency-respect.

 # Brain-First Lookup Convention
 
-Before using ANY external API (web search, enrichment services, social APIs) to
-research a person, company, or topic, check the brain first.
+**Read this before doing ANY entity/person/company/fact lookup.**
 
-## The 5-Step Lookup
+Sub-agents and fresh sessions inherit gbrain tools but not the knowledge of
+when and how to use them. This file is that knowledge.
 
-1. `gbrain search "name"` — keyword search for existing pages
-2. `gbrain query "natural question about name"` — hybrid search for related context
-3. `gbrain get <slug>` — if you know the slug, read the full page
-4. Check backlinks: `gbrain get_backlinks <slug>` — who references this entity?
-5. Check timeline: `gbrain get_timeline <slug>` — recent events involving this entity
+## Available GBrain Tools
 
-The brain almost always has something. External APIs fill gaps, not start from scratch.
+Your tool inventory includes these (prefixed `gbrain__` in OpenClaw):
 
-## Why This Matters
+| Tool | Use for |
+|------|---------|
+| `gbrain__search` / `search` | Keyword search — fast, always works |
+| `gbrain__query` / `query` | Hybrid search (keyword + semantic) — best quality |
+| `gbrain__get_page` / `get_page` | Direct page read when you know the slug |
+| `gbrain__get_links` / `get_links` | Outgoing links from a page |
+| `gbrain__get_backlinks` / `get_backlinks` | Who references this entity |
+| `gbrain__get_timeline` / `get_timeline` | Dated events for an entity |
+| `gbrain__resolve_slugs` / `resolve_slugs` | Fuzzy slug resolution |
+| `gbrain__traverse_graph` / `traverse_graph` | Walk the relationship graph |
+| `gbrain__put_page` / `put_page` | Create or update a brain page |
+| `gbrain__add_timeline_entry` | Add a dated event |
+| `gbrain__add_link` | Add a relationship edge |
 
-- The brain has context that external APIs don't (user's direct observations, meeting notes, personal relationships)
-- External API calls cost money and time
-- Brain context makes external lookups more targeted (you know what's missing)
-- The user's direct statements are highest-authority data. External sources are lowest.
+Tool names vary by transport (MCP uses short names, OpenClaw plugin uses
+`gbrain__` prefix). Both work. Use whichever your environment provides.
+
+## The Lookup Chain (MANDATORY ORDER)
+
+1. **`search`** first — keyword search, fast, zero API cost
+2. **`query`** if search is thin — hybrid semantic search, uses embedding API
+3. **`get_page`** if you found a slug — read the full compiled truth
+4. **External APIs only after steps 1-2 return nothing useful**
+
+Never skip to external APIs without completing steps 1-2. The brain has
+thousands of pages. The answer is almost always there.
+
+## Rules
+
+- **Score > 0.5 = use it.** Don't reach for external APIs when the brain answered.
+- **User's direct statements are highest-authority data.** The brain captures
+  what the user said in meetings, conversations, and notes. External sources
+  are supplementary.
+- **After any brain page write:** trigger a sync so new pages are searchable.
+  In OpenClaw: `gbrain__sync_brain`. From CLI: `gbrain sync --no-pull`.
+- **Every brain page reference in output** should use a clickable link format
+  appropriate to the deployment (GitHub URL, local path, or slug).
+- **Never use `memory_search` for entity lookups.** Memory tools search
+  session notes (MEMORY.md), not the brain knowledge graph. Use
+  `search` or `query` for entity lookups.
+
+## Entity Page Conventions
+
+Standard directory structure:
+
+| Directory | Type | Example |
+|-----------|------|---------|
+| `people/` | person | `people/paul-graham.md` |
+| `companies/` | company | `companies/stripe.md` |
+| `deals/` | deal | `deals/stripe-series-c.md` |
+| `meetings/` | meeting | `meetings/2026-04-23-weekly-sync.md` |
+| `projects/` | project | `projects/gbrain.md` |
+| `yc/` | yc | `yc/batch-w26.md` |
+
+When creating new pages, include proper frontmatter with `type`, `title`,
+and `tags` fields.
+
+## When Spawning Further Sub-agents
+
+If you spawn your own sub-agents, include this line in their task prompt:
+
+> Read `skills/conventions/brain-first.md` before starting work.
+
+This ensures the convention propagates through any depth of sub-agent chain.

+# Brain Routing Convention
+
+Cross-cutting rules for which brain and which source an operation targets.
+Applies to every skill that reads or writes brain pages. **Full mental model
+lives in `docs/architecture/brains-and-sources.md` — read it once.**
+
+## The two axes (one-line summary)
+
+- **Brain** = which DATABASE. `--brain`, `GBRAIN_BRAIN_ID`, `.gbrain-mount`.
+- **Source** = which REPO INSIDE the database. `--source`, `GBRAIN_SOURCE`,
+  `.gbrain-source`.
+
+Orthogonal. Pick one on each axis per operation.
+
+## Default behavior (ALWAYS)
+
+Start in the brain + source resolved by the environment:
+
+1. Run `gbrain mounts list` if you haven't seen the user's mounts yet.
+2. Trust the resolver. If the user is in `~/team-brains/media/`, their
+   `.gbrain-mount` pins brain=media-team. Don't override that silently.
+3. For every brain op, pass the resolved brain id explicitly when calling
+   tools (even if it matches the default). Makes routing visible in logs.
+
+Bare `gbrain query "X"` routes to the default brain's default source. That
+is the right answer 90% of the time. Don't cross the boundary without a
+reason.
+
+## When to switch brain
+
+Switch brain (`--brain <id>`) when:
+
+- The user's question is specifically about a team the user belongs to
+  ("what did team X decide?", "what's the status of project Y at team X?").
+  Switch BEFORE searching, not after a failed search in host.
+- The user is asking you to ingest data that belongs to a specific team
+  (meeting notes from a team meeting, letters from a team's pipeline). The
+  data owner determines the brain.
+- The user explicitly names a team/brain ("check the media-team brain
+  for...").
+
+Do NOT switch brain when:
+
+- The user asks a general question that might pull from anywhere. Start in
+  host, then cross-query on-demand if host doesn't have it.
+- You're unsure. Stay in host, surface what you found, let the user point
+  you at a specific brain.
+
+## When to switch source
+
+Switch source (`--source <id>`) when:
+
+- The user is working in a specific repo (the `.gbrain-source` dotfile
+  usually handles this — don't fight it).
+- The user asks about something scoped to a repo ("what's in my gstack
+  notes about retry policy?").
+- You're writing a page that logically belongs to one repo. The data
+  origin determines the source.
+
+Do NOT switch source when:
+
+- The user's intent crosses repos. Keep `federated=true` sources for
+  cross-source search.
+- You'd lose a cross-repo match by isolating.
+
+## Cross-brain queries (latent-space federation)
+
+v0.19 does NOT do deterministic cross-brain federation. No SQL fan-out. No
+unified ranking. The AGENT federates.
+
+Pattern when the user asks something that might span brains:
+
+1. Query host with the obvious query.
+2. Check `gbrain mounts list` for relevant brain ids.
+3. If you think another brain has the answer, re-query THAT brain
+   explicitly (`--brain <id>`).
+4. Synthesize across results. Cite `<brain>:<source>:<slug>` so the user
+   can trace.
+
+Never silently mix brains. Every finding is citable to its brain.
+
+## Writing across brains
+
+Writing is stricter than reading. ASK before writing cross-brain.
+
+- A fact about a team's work → team's brain, not host.
+- A fact the user confirmed about a person ONLY they know → host/personal,
+  not a team brain.
+- An enrichment discovered from public data → usually host unless the user
+  says otherwise.
+
+If you're about to `put_page --brain <team-brain>`, confirm with the user
+unless they explicitly said "save this to team-X". Default brain for
+writes is the user's personal brain.
+
+## Citations with brain context
+
+Standard citation format stays the same (`[Source: ...]`), but when pages
+come from a mounted brain, add the brain context for human traceability:
+
+- Single-brain query: `[Source: Meeting, 2026-04-10]` (unchanged).
+- Cross-brain synthesis: `[Source: media-team:meetings/2026-04-10]` or
+  `[Source: policy-team:research/retry-budgets]`.
+
+This matches v0.18.0's source-aware citation (`[source-id:slug]`) extended
+with a brain prefix when relevant.
+
+## Decision table
+
+| Situation | Brain | Source |
+|---|---|---|
+| User cd's into a team-brain checkout and asks a general question | dotfile-resolved team brain | dotfile-resolved source |
+| User asks "what did team X decide?" | `team-x` explicitly | resolver default |
+| User asks "what are we doing across all teams?" | fan out across mounts, agent-driven | resolver default |
+| User asks "add this to my gstack notes" | host | `gstack` |
+| User asks "save this meeting note for team X" | `team-x` (confirm if ambiguous) | team's meetings source |
+| User asks "write me an essay" | host (personal) | `essays` |
+| Unknown — can't classify | stay in host, ask the user | resolver default |
+
+## Anti-patterns
+
+- Silently jumping brains to "find" an answer when the user clearly meant
+  host. That's an audit-trail hole.
+- Writing to host when the data is clearly team-owned ("the team's plans
+  are now in your personal brain" = bad surprise).
+- Cross-brain federation in a single query without citations that name the
+  source brain. The user cannot trace the answer back.
+- Ignoring `.gbrain-mount` / `.gbrain-source` dotfiles. They're load-bearing
+  context — the user set them up for a reason.
+
+## Read more
+
+- `docs/architecture/brains-and-sources.md` — the full mental model with
+  topology diagrams (single-person, personal-with-repos, CEO-class with
+  multiple team brains).
+- `skills/conventions/brain-first.md` — reads the brain BEFORE asking.
+- `skills/conventions/quality.md` — citation format (extended here with
+  brain prefix).

 ## Contract
 
 This skill guarantees:
-- Work product is reviewed by a different model before finalizing
-- Review grades against the originating skill's Contract section
-- Agreement and disagreement are reported transparently
-- Refusal from one model triggers silent switch to next in chain
-- User always makes the final decision (user sovereignty)
+
+- Work product is reviewed by a different model before finalizing.
+- The review is graded against the originating skill's Contract section
+  (what was promised), not vibes.
+- Agreement and disagreement are reported transparently.
+- Refusal from one model triggers a silent switch to the next in chain.
+- The user always makes the final decision (user sovereignty).
+
+## When to invoke (v0.25.1 gating)
+
+Invoke this skill when:
+
+- **Significant code changes** — any commit touching 5+ files or 100+
+  lines. Architecture decisions, refactors, API changes.
+- **Security-sensitive changes** — auth flows, brain-write trust boundaries,
+  webhook transforms, cross-skill data passing.
+- **Stuck or churning** — 2+ iterations on the same problem without
+  progress.
+- **Pre-bulk-operation** — before running batch enrichment, migrations,
+  or bulk writes (see [conventions/test-before-bulk.md](../conventions/test-before-bulk.md)).
+- **Skill creation / modification** — new or rewritten skills that
+  affect operational behavior.
+- **Brain-page quality concerns** — when brain writes need validation
+  against the originating skill's Contract.
+
+Do NOT invoke for:
+
+- Simple memory writes or brain-page updates
+- Single-file typo fixes
+- Routine cron output or heartbeat operations
+- Git commit / push of already-reviewed work
 
 ## Phases
 
-1. **Capture the work product.** The brain page, analysis, or decision to be reviewed.
-2. **Load the Contract.** Read the originating skill's Contract section (what was promised).
-3. **Spawn review model.** Send the work + Contract to a different model. Use `skills/conventions/model-routing.md` for model selection.
-4. **Grade.** Model evaluates: did the output follow the Contract? Pass/fail with specific citations.
-5. **Report.** Present agreement/disagreement to the user. Never auto-apply the reviewer's suggestions.

-## Refusal Routing
+## Code-review handoff (v0.25.1 extension)
 
-If the primary model refuses:
-1. Silently switch to the next model in the chain (see `skills/conventions/cross-modal.yaml`)
-2. Never show the refusal to the user
-3. Never announce the switch
-4. If ALL models refuse, escalate to the user
+For diff review specifically, gstack ships a `/codex` skill that wraps
+the OpenAI Codex CLI. Two modes:
 
-## Output Format
+### Codex Review
+
+Independent diff review from a different AI system. The user invokes
+`/codex review` (gstack-shipped); cross-modal-review's job is to
+RECOGNIZE when this is the right tool and recommend it explicitly.
+
+**When to recommend `/codex review`:**
+- After a substantive diff lands and before merge

+### Dream cycle (v0.23): synthesize + patterns
+
+`gbrain dream` runs the full 8-phase maintenance cycle:
+
+```
+lint -> backlinks -> sync -> synthesize -> extract -> patterns -> embed -> orphans
+```
+
+The two new phases consolidate yesterday's conversations into long-term memory:
+
+**Synthesize phase:** reads transcripts from `dream.synthesize.session_corpus_dir`,
+runs a cheap Haiku verdict (cached in `dream_verdicts`) to filter routine
+ops sessions, then fans out one Sonnet subagent per worth-processing
+transcript. Each subagent writes reflections (`wiki/personal/reflections/...`),
+originals (`wiki/originals/ideas/...`), and people timeline entries. The
+orchestrator collects the slugs from `subagent_tool_executions` (NOT
+`pages.updated_at` — that would pick up unrelated writes) and reverse-renders
+each new page from DB → markdown on disk.
+
+**Patterns phase:** runs after `extract` (so the graph state is fresh).
+Reads recent reflections within `dream.patterns.lookback_days` (default 30),
+runs a single Sonnet pass to surface recurring themes, and writes pattern
+pages to `wiki/personal/patterns/<theme>` when ≥`dream.patterns.min_evidence`
+(default 3) reflections support a pattern.
+
+**Quality bar (Iron Law for synthesis):**
+1. Quote the user verbatim. Do not paraphrase memorable phrasings.
+2. Cross-reference compulsively: every new page MUST have at least one wikilink.
+3. Slug discipline: lowercase alphanumeric and hyphens only. NO underscores, NO file extensions.
+4. Edited transcripts produce NEW slugs (content-hash suffix changes) — never silently overwrite.
+
+**Trust boundary (`allowed_slug_prefixes`):** the synthesis subagent runs with an
+explicit allow-list of write paths sourced from `_brain-filing-rules.json`'s
+`dream_synthesize_paths.globs`. Even on prompt-injection success, the subagent
+cannot write outside that list. Trust comes from PROTECTED_JOB_NAMES — MCP
+cannot submit subagent jobs at all. Editing the JSON is the only way to add
+a new directory the synthesizer can write to.
+
+**Idempotency + privacy:** transcripts are keyed by `(file_path, content_hash)`,
+so re-running on the same content is a no-op. `dream.synthesize.exclude_patterns`
+(default `["medical", "therapy"]`) filters out transcripts before any LLM call.
+Each entry is auto-wrapped as a word-boundary regex (e.g. `medical` matches
+"medical advice" but NOT "comedical"). Power users may pass full regex.
+
+**Cooldown:** the cycle's spend cap. `dream.synthesize.cooldown_hours` (default
+12) means at most ~2 synthesize runs per day under autopilot. The completion
+timestamp is stored in `dream.synthesize.last_completion_ts` and is written
+ONLY on successful runs (not on skipped/failed). Explicit `--input` /
+`--date` / `--from` / `--to` invocations bypass cooldown.
+
+**`--dry-run` semantics:** runs the cheap Haiku significance filter (caches
+verdicts) but skips the Sonnet synthesis pass. NOT zero LLM calls.
+
+**Configure synthesize on a fresh brain:**
+```bash
+gbrain config set dream.synthesize.session_corpus_dir /path/to/transcripts
+gbrain config set dream.synthesize.enabled true
+gbrain dream --phase synthesize --dry-run --json   # preview
+gbrain dream                                       # full 8-phase cycle
+```
+
+**Invocation patterns:**
+```bash
+gbrain dream                                          # full cycle
+gbrain dream --phase synthesize                       # just synthesize
+gbrain dream --phase patterns                         # just patterns
+gbrain dream --input ~/transcripts/2026-04-25.txt     # ad-hoc one transcript
+gbrain dream --from 2026-04-01 --to 2026-04-25        # backfill range
+gbrain dream --json                                   # CycleReport JSON
+```
+
+**Auto-commit deferred to v1.1:** v1 writes files to `brain_dir` but does NOT
+`git add` / `commit` / `push`. Either commit yourself or let `gbrain autopilot`
+handle it.
 Parses `- **YYYY-MM-DD** | Source — Summary` and `### YYYY-MM-DD — Title` formats.
 Note: extracted entries improve structured queries (`gbrain timeline`), not vector search.

+  for the cheap Haiku verdict so backfill re-runs skip already-judged
+  transcripts. RLS-enabled when running as a BYPASSRLS role.
+
+The migration is idempotent. Safe to re-run.
+
+## What changes for existing brains
+
+`gbrain dream` (and `gbrain autopilot`) now run an 8-phase cycle:
+
+```
+lint → backlinks → sync → synthesize → extract → patterns → embed → orphans
+```
+
+If `dream.synthesize.enabled` is false (the default, post-migration), the
+synthesize and patterns phases emit `status: "skipped", reason: "not_configured"`
+and the cycle continues to the next phase. **Existing autopilot users see
+zero behavior change** until they configure synthesize.
+
+## To enable synthesize on your brain
+
+Three steps. Take them when ready — there is no rush.
+
+```bash
+# 1. Point at the directory where your conversation transcripts live.
+#    OpenClaw stores session transcripts at memory/.dreams/session-corpus/<YYYY-MM-DD>.txt
+#    by default. If you have a different layout, point at that.
+gbrain config set dream.synthesize.session_corpus_dir /path/to/transcripts
+
+# 2. Enable the phase.
+gbrain config set dream.synthesize.enabled true
+
+# 3. Preview without spending real LLM tokens (runs cheap Haiku verdict only).
+gbrain dream --phase synthesize --dry-run --json
+```
+
+## Tunables (sensible defaults; override only if needed)
+
+```bash
+# Skip transcripts shorter than this many characters (default 2000).
+gbrain config set dream.synthesize.min_chars 2000
+
+# Word-boundary regex patterns to skip. Default ["medical","therapy"].
+# Each entry auto-wraps as \b<entry>\b — "medical" matches "medical advice"
+# but NOT "comedical". Pass full regex (e.g. ^therapy:) for advanced patterns.
+gbrain config set dream.synthesize.exclude_patterns '["medical","therapy"]'
+
+# Synthesize model (default: claude-sonnet-4-6).
+gbrain config set dream.synthesize.model claude-sonnet-4-6
+
+# Hours between synthesize runs (the v1 spend cap; default 12 → ~$1-2/day).
+gbrain config set dream.synthesize.cooldown_hours 12
+
+# Patterns lookback window in days (default 30).
+gbrain config set dream.patterns.lookback_days 30
+
+# Minimum distinct reflections needed to name a pattern (default 3).
+gbrain config set dream.patterns.min_evidence 3
+```
+
+## Allow-list source of truth
+
+The synthesize subagent's allowed write paths live in
+`skills/_brain-filing-rules.json` under `dream_synthesize_paths.globs`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "dream_synthesize_paths": {
+    "globs": [
+      "wiki/personal/reflections/*",
+      "wiki/originals/*",
+      "wiki/personal/patterns/*",
+      "wiki/people/*",
+      "dream-cycle-summaries/*"
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Editing this list is the ONLY way to add a new directory the synthesizer
+can write to. The subagent's `put_page` calls are gated server-side; even
+on prompt-injection success the write is bounded to these prefixes.
+
+## Slug discipline
+
+Reflections: `wiki/personal/reflections/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-<hash[:6]>`
+Originals:   `wiki/originals/ideas/YYYY-MM-DD-<idea>-<hash[:6]>`
+Patterns:    `wiki/personal/patterns/<theme>`
+Summary:     `dream-cycle-summaries/YYYY-MM-DD`
+
+The 6-char content-hash suffix on reflections / originals means an edited
+transcript produces a NEW slug — the original reflection is preserved
+alongside the new one. No silent overwrite.
+
+Lowercase alphanumeric and hyphens only. NO underscores, NO file extensions.
+
+## Provenance
+
+Every put_page call from the synthesize subagent shows up in
+`subagent_tool_executions` with full input. The orchestrator collects
+slugs by querying that table — NOT `pages.updated_at` — so the cycle's
+write list cannot accidentally include manual edits or sync output.
+
+## What's deferred to v1.1
+
+- **Auto git commit + push.** v1 writes markdown files to `brain_dir`
+  but does NOT `git add` / `commit` / `push`. Either commit yourself
+  or let `gbrain autopilot` handle it. v1.1 will add explicit
+  --commit / --push flags with handling for dirty worktree, staged
+  changes, auth failure, and non-fast-forward push.
+- **Daily token budget cap.** Cooldown alone is the spend bound at v1
+  scale. If real-world telemetry surfaces a problem, v1.1 adds an
+  explicit `daily_token_budget` config.
+- **Cross-modal pattern review.** Patterns currently runs against
+  reflections only. Future revision could roll up across reflections,
+  meetings, and timeline entries together.
+
+## Verify after upgrade
+
+```bash
+# Schema migration applied?
+gbrain doctor
+
+# Phase ordering correct?
+gbrain dream --help    # shows the 8-phase pipeline
+
+# Dry-run against a single transcript (cheap Haiku call only):

+
+If any step fails, file an issue with `gbrain doctor` output and the

+  capability: 9 markdown skills installable into your workspace via
+  `gbrain skillpack install --all`.
+---
+
+# v0.25.1 — Skills wave migration
+
+## TL;DR
+
+If you already have v0.24.0 installed, `gbrain upgrade` does it.
+There is **no schema migration**. Existing brains work unchanged.
+
+This file exists for agents reading the skill set after upgrade. It
+explains:
+
+1. What the 9 new skills do (so the agent knows when to invoke them)
+2. The new `archive-crawler.scan_paths:` config requirement
+3. The new `gbrain skillpack uninstall` subcommand
+4. The new `gbrain book-mirror` CLI
+
+## Step 0: Watch for the post-install advisory (NEW in v0.25.1)
+
+Every `gbrain init` and `gbrain post-upgrade` now ends by printing an
+agent-readable advisory listing the recommended new skills. If you ran
+`gbrain upgrade` and saw a banner like:
+
+```
+========================================================================
+gbrain 0.25.1 — RECOMMENDED SKILLS FOR THE AGENT TO INSTALL
+========================================================================
+```
+
+…that's the advisory. It explicitly asks you (the agent) to surface
+the skill list to the user, ask them whether to install, and run the
+right `gbrain skillpack install` command if they say yes. **Do that
+first, then return here for the rest.**
+
+If the advisory didn't print, your workspace already has all 9 v0.25.1
+skills installed (or no managed block was detected). Continue with the
+verification steps below.
+
+## Step 1: Verify the upgrade landed
+
+```bash
+gbrain --version                  # expect: gbrain 0.25.1
+gbrain skillpack list             # expect: 34 skills (was 25 before)
+gbrain skillpack uninstall --help # expect: "Inverse of install" in help
+```
+
+If `gbrain --version` reports 0.24.x, run `gbrain upgrade` first.
+
+## Step 2: Install the new skills (optional)
+
+The 9 new skills are in the bundle but only become active in your
+workspace after explicit install:
+
+```bash
+# install just the flagship:
+gbrain skillpack install book-mirror
+
+# OR install everything new at once:
+gbrain skillpack install --all
+```
+
+The 9 new skills:
+
+- **book-mirror** — flagship. Two-column personalized chapter-by-chapter
+  book analysis. Pairs with `gbrain book-mirror` CLI.
+- **article-enrichment** — turns raw article dumps into structured
+  pages with verbatim quotes.
+- **strategic-reading** — reads a book through one specific
+  problem-lens with a do/avoid/watch-for playbook.
+- **concept-synthesis** — deduplicates raw concept stubs into a
+  tiered intellectual map.
+- **perplexity-research** — brain-augmented web research focused on
+  what's NEW vs already-known.
+- **archive-crawler** — universal archivist for personal file
+  archives (REQUIRES `gbrain.yml` allow-list, see Step 3).
+- **academic-verify** — traces a research claim through publication
+  → methodology → raw data → independent replication.
+- **brain-pdf** — renders any brain page to publication-quality PDF
+  via the gstack make-pdf binary.
+- **voice-note-ingest** — captures voice notes with exact-phrasing
+  preservation; routes to originals/concepts/people/companies/ideas.
+
+## Step 3: Configure `archive-crawler` if you installed it
+
+`archive-crawler` is the only skill in this wave with a hard
+configuration requirement. It refuses to run unless you explicitly
+list paths it's permitted to scan in your brain repo's `gbrain.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+# brain-repo/gbrain.yml
+archive-crawler:
+  scan_paths:
+    - ~/Documents/writing/
+    - ~/Dropbox/Archive/
+    - /mnt/backup/old-letters/
+  # Optional deny list (paths inside scan_paths to exclude):
+  # deny_paths:
+  #   - ~/Documents/finances/
+  #   - ~/Documents/medical/
+```
+
+Without `scan_paths`, the skill refuses to run. This is deliberate
+safety: the agent will not infer what's safe to read.
+
+If you skipped installing `archive-crawler`, no action needed.
+
+## Step 4: Use `gbrain book-mirror` (optional, the flagship)
+
+The skill (`skills/book-mirror/SKILL.md`) walks the agent through:
+
+1. Locate or download the EPUB / PDF (manual; the skill explains)
+2. Extract chapter text via BeautifulSoup4 (EPUB) or
+   `pdftotext -layout` (PDF) — produces `*.txt` files in a temp dir.
+3. Build a context pack (USER.md + SOUL.md + recent reflections
+   + topic-relevant brain searches).
+4. Invoke the CLI:
+
+```bash
+gbrain book-mirror \
+  --chapters-dir /tmp/books/this-book/chapters \
+  --context-file /tmp/books/this-book/context.md \
+  --slug this-book \
+  --title "This Book Title" \
+  --author "Some Author"
+```
+
+Costs ~$0.30 per chapter at Opus (default model). The CLI prints a
+cost estimate and prompts for confirmation before launching.
+
+Output lands at `media/books/<slug>-personalized.md` in your brain.
+
+## Step 5: `gbrain skillpack uninstall` (when you want it)
+
+If you ever want to remove a skill from your workspace:
+
+```bash
+gbrain skillpack uninstall book-mirror
+```
+
+Symmetric to install:
+

+## Step 6: Privacy CI guard (operator-relevant only if you ship gbrain forks)

+`/data/.openclaw/` literals in tracked files (these are
+fork-specific filesystem paths from gbrain's upstream). Seven

+wired up, this runs automatically.
+
+If your fork hits an unexpected privacy-guard failure, check that

+environment / config) and add to the script's allow-list with a
+comment if legitimate.

+status: published

+
+# v0.28 — Takes, Think, Unified Model Config
+
+You upgraded from v0.27 (or earlier) to v0.28. New surface area:
+
+- **Takes** — typed/weighted/attributed claims stored as fenced markdown
+  tables and indexed in Postgres. Four kinds: `fact | take | bet | hunch`.
+  Holders: `world | garry | brain | <slug>`.
+- **`gbrain takes`** CLI — list / search / add / update / supersede / resolve.
+- **Unified model config** — `models.default` replaces per-phase
+  `dream.synthesize.model` etc. Aliases: `opus`, `sonnet`, `haiku`,
+  `gemini`, `gpt`. CLI flag `--model <name>` overrides per-call.
+- **Per-token MCP allow-list** — `access_tokens.permissions.takes_holders`
+  controls which holders an MCP-bound token sees. Default: `["world"]`.
+- **Three new MCP ops** — `takes_list`, `takes_search`, `think`.
+- **`gbrain think` op surface** — registered now; pipeline lands in v0.28.x.
+
+## What the migration did automatically
+
+`gbrain apply-migrations --yes` runs three orchestrator phases:
+
+1. **Schema verify** — schema migrations v37 (takes + synthesis_evidence)
+   and v38 (access_tokens.permissions JSONB) ran; tables are present.
+   (v31 was claimed by v0.25's eval_capture_tables, v32+v33 by v0.26's
+   OAuth + admin dashboard, v34 by v0.26.5's destructive-guard columns,
+   v35 by v0.26.8's auto-RLS event trigger, and v36 by v0.27's
+   subagent provider-neutral persistence before v0.28 landed.)
+2. **Backfill takes** — walked every page in the brain, parsed any fenced
+   `<!--- gbrain:takes:begin/end -->` table found, populated the takes
+   index in Postgres. Idempotent; safe to re-run.
+3. **Re-chunk TODO queued** — `~/.gbrain/migrations/pending-host-work.jsonl`
+   gained an entry asking you to re-chunk pages that had takes BEFORE
+   v0.28. The chunker now strips fenced takes content (so per-token MCP
+   visibility actually works) but the strip rule only applies to NEW
+   imports. Legacy pages still have takes content baked into their
+   `content_chunks` rows — re-chunk them to apply the strip retroactively.
+
+## What you need to do as the host agent
+
+### 1. Verify the upgrade
+
+```bash
+gbrain doctor
+```
+
+Expected: `takes_backfill_complete` and `takes_fence_chunk_leak` checks
+both green. If either is red, follow the doctor's fix hint.
+
+### 2. Re-chunk pages with pre-v0.28 takes (one-time, cosmetic for fresh installs)
+
+For brains with existing fenced takes content in pre-v0.28 markdown:
+
+```bash
+# Identify pages with takes content that's been chunked into content_chunks
+gbrain doctor --check takes_fence_chunk_leak
+
+# If the check is RED, re-import those pages so the new chunker rule applies.
+# Run only on the affected slugs (the doctor output enumerates them):
+gbrain extract takes --rebuild
+gbrain sync   # picks up the markdown delta if any
+```
+
+Fresh installs (no pre-v0.28 takes content): nothing to do.
+
+### 3. Migrate to the unified model config (optional, mechanical)
+
+Old per-phase keys still work in v0.28 with a deprecation warning.
+v0.30 will remove them. Migrate when convenient:
+
+```bash
+# Old (deprecated):
+gbrain config set dream.synthesize.model claude-sonnet-4-6
+gbrain config set dream.patterns.model claude-sonnet-4-6
+
+# New (one key controls everything):
+gbrain config set models.default sonnet
+
+# Per-op override (optional):
+gbrain config set models.dream.synthesize opus
+
+# Cleanup deprecated keys:
+gbrain config unset dream.synthesize.model
+gbrain config unset dream.patterns.model
+```
+
+### 4. Configure MCP token visibility (optional, security-relevant)
+
+Existing tokens default to `permissions.takes_holders=["world"]` — they
+see public claims only, never private hunches. Tokens for trusted agents
+(e.g., your own OpenClaw deployment) need explicit broader visibility:
+
+```bash
+# List existing tokens
+gbrain auth list
+
+# Grant a token visibility into garry's takes (and brain-derived takes)
+gbrain auth permissions <token-name> set-takes-holders world,garry,brain
+
+# Or create a new token with the wider set up-front
+gbrain auth create my-claude-desktop --takes-holders world,garry,brain
+```
+
+Tokens for third-party agents (claude.ai, public integrations) should
+keep the default `["world"]` — Garry's hunches stay private.
+
+### 5. Try the takes layer
+
+```bash
+# Add a take by hand
+gbrain takes add people/alice-example \
+  --claim "Strong technical founder I have ever met" \
+  --kind take --who garry --weight 0.85 \
+  --source "OH 2026-05-01"
+
+# List
+gbrain takes people/alice-example
+
+# Search
+gbrain takes search "technical founder"
+
+# Resolve a bet
+gbrain takes resolve people/alice-example --row 3 --outcome true \
+  --value 50000000 --unit usd --source crustdata
+```
+
+## Verify
+
+```bash
+gbrain doctor         # all checks green; schema_version >= 32
+gbrain stats          # numbers stable
+
+# If any step failed, file an issue:
+# https://github.com/garrytan/gbrain/issues
+# Include: gbrain doctor output, ~/.gbrain/upgrade-errors.jsonl if it exists,
+# and which step broke. The migration is designed to be idempotent — safe
+# to re-run after fixing the underlying issue.
+```
+
+## What ships in v0.28.x as follow-ups
+
+- `gbrain think` synthesis pipeline (gather → RRF → cite → synthesize)
+- `gbrain takes seed <slug>` — LLM extracts claims from page prose
+- Dream `auto_think` + `drift` phases (opt-in)
+- Cross-page reference resolution in `source` columns
+
+The op surfaces are registered in v0.28.0 so MCP/SDK callers can detect
+them; the pipelines fill in incrementally without breaking the contract.

+
+# perplexity-research — Brain-Augmented Web Research
+
+> **Convention:** see [conventions/quality.md](../conventions/quality.md) for
+> citation rules; every claim from web research lands with a verifiable
+> citation, not a paraphrase.
+>
+> **Convention:** see [conventions/brain-first.md](../conventions/brain-first.md)
+> for the lookup chain. This skill ENFORCES brain-first by sending brain
+> context as part of the Perplexity prompt — the web search focuses on
+> the delta between brain knowledge and current web state.
+
+## What this does
+
+Combines existing brain knowledge with Perplexity's web search. The
+agent sends brain context about a topic into a Perplexity query;
+Perplexity searches + reads + synthesizes multiple pages with citations,
+focused on what's NEW relative to the supplied context.
+
+**The key insight:** Perplexity doesn't just search — it reads and
+synthesizes with citations. By sending brain context in the
+instructions, it knows what you already know, so it surfaces the delta
+instead of repeating settled fact.
+
+## When to use this vs other tools
+
+| Need | Use |
+|------|-----|
+| Deep research with citations | **This skill** — Perplexity + Opus |
+| Quick URL content | `web_fetch` |
+| Brain-only lookup | `gbrain query` / `gbrain search` |
+| Real-time social monitoring | external X / social-media collectors |
+| Structured data lookup against a tracker | `skills/data-research/SKILL.md` |
+
+## Output structure
+
+The research output lands as a brain page under `research/<slug>.md` with
+this structure:
+
+```markdown
+---
+title: "[Topic] — Research [YYYY-MM-DD]"
+type: research
+date: YYYY-MM-DD
+brain_context_slugs: ["pages whose context was sent to Perplexity"]
+recency_filter: "[hour|day|week|month|none]"
+---
+
+# [Topic] — Research [YYYY-MM-DD]
+
+> Executive summary: 2-3 sentences on the delta between brain knowledge
+> and current web state.
+
+## Key New Developments
+What's changed since the brain was last updated on this topic.
+
+## Confirming Signals
+Web evidence validating existing brain knowledge.
+
+## Contradictions or Updates
+Things that conflict with the brain — these need a closer look.
+
+## Recommended Brain Updates
+Specific page updates the user might want to make based on this research.
+Each item: which page, what to add or change, source URL.
+
+## Citations
+- [Source title](URL) — accessed YYYY-MM-DD
+- [Source title](URL) — accessed YYYY-MM-DD
+- ...
+```
+
+## Invocation
+
+The skill is markdown agent instructions; the agent uses Perplexity's
+API directly (or a host-provided `perplexity` CLI if installed):
+
+```bash
+# 1. Pull brain context
+gbrain get <slug>                    # or
+gbrain query "<topic keywords>"
+
+# 2. Compose the Perplexity query with brain context inline:
+#    """
+#    Topic: <topic>
+#    Brain context (what we already know): <embedded gbrain content>
+#    Find: what's NEW since 2026-MM-DD that the brain doesn't reflect.
+#    Cite every claim.
+#    """
+
+# 3. Call Perplexity API or the host's perplexity binary:
+#    curl https://api.perplexity.ai/chat/completions \
+#      -H "Authorization: Bearer $PERPLEXITY_API_KEY" \
+#      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+#      -d '{"model": "sonar-pro", "messages": [{"role":"user","content":"..."}]}'
+
+# 4. Write the structured research page via put_page:
+gbrain put_page research/<slug>      # via the put_page operation
+
+# 5. Cross-link entities mentioned (people, companies) per Iron Law.
+```
+
+## Models
+
+| Model | Cost / query | Use when |
+|-------|-------------|----------|
+| Perplexity sonar-pro | ~\$0.04 | Deep analysis, entity enrichment, deal research |
+| Perplexity sonar | ~\$0.007 | Quick lookups, bulk monitoring, briefing pipelines |
+
+Default to sonar-pro. Drop to sonar for bulk / cron contexts where cost
+matters more than depth.
+
+## Integration patterns
+
+### Entity enrichment
+
+Called by `skills/enrich/SKILL.md` when an entity page (person, company)
+needs current web context:
+
+```bash
+BRAIN=$(gbrain get people/<slug> 2>/dev/null)
+# Send <slug>'s page content as brain_context to Perplexity, get current
+# news / role / context, then update the brain page with what's new.
+```
+
+### Deal / company monitoring (cron)
+
+For each active item under `deals/` or `companies/`:
+
+```bash
+# Weekly: pull recent news per company; flag changes for review.
+```
+
+### Morning briefing
+
+Replace raw `web_fetch` calls in briefing pipelines with this skill so
+the agent doesn't re-narrate already-known facts.
+
+## Recency filter
+
+Pass `recency_filter` to Perplexity: `hour | day | week | month`. Useful
+for news-cycle topics; omit for evergreen research.
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+- ❌ Sending NO brain context. Then it's just a search — use `web_fetch`
+  instead.
+- ❌ Truncating the brain context. The whole point is "knows what you
+  know." Send dense context.
+- ❌ Discarding citations. Every claim in the output must have a URL.
+- ❌ Skipping the cross-link step when entities are mentioned. Iron Law.
+
+## Environment
+
+- `PERPLEXITY_API_KEY` set in the agent's environment (or in
+  `~/.gbrain/.env`).
+- Optional: install Perplexity's official CLI for richer streaming output.
+
+## Related skills
+
+- `skills/academic-verify/SKILL.md` — wraps perplexity-research for
+  citation-verified academic claim checking
+- `skills/enrich/SKILL.md` — calls perplexity-research as part of the
+  entity-enrichment loop
+- `skills/data-research/SKILL.md` — structured-data trackers (different
+  shape: parameterized YAML recipes, not free-form research)
+
+
+## Contract
+
+This skill guarantees:
+
+- Routing matches the canonical triggers in the frontmatter.
+- Output written under the directories listed in `writes_to:` (when applicable).
+- Conventions referenced (`quality.md`, `brain-first.md`, `_brain-filing-rules.md`) are followed.
+- Privacy contract preserved: no real names, no fork-specific filesystem path literals, no upstream-fork references.
+
+The full behavior contract is documented in the body sections above; this section exists for the conformance test.
+
+## Output Format
+
+The skill's output shape is documented inline in the body sections above (see "Output", "Brain page format", or equivalent). The literal section header here exists for the conformance test (`test/skills-conformance.test.ts`).

 ## Contract
 
-A feature is "properly skilled" when all ten checklist items are present:
+A feature is "properly skilled" when all 11 checklist items pass. Item 3
+(cross-modal eval) is informational in v1.1.0 — it does not gate the
+skillpack-check audit, but a missing or stale receipt is surfaced so the

-2. Code — deterministic script if applicable.
-3. Unit tests — cover every branch of deterministic logic.
-4. Integration tests — exercise live endpoints, not just in-memory shape.
-5. LLM evals — quality/correctness cases if the feature includes any LLM call.
-6. Resolver trigger — `skills/RESOLVER.md` entry with the trigger patterns
-   the user actually types.
-7. Resolver trigger eval — test that feeds trigger phrases to the resolver
-   and asserts they route to this skill, not the old pre-skillify path.
-8. Check-resolvable — `gbrain check-resolvable` passes (skill is reachable,
-   MECE against its siblings, no DRY violations).
-9. E2E test — exercises the full pipeline from user turn to side effect.
-10. Brain filing — if the feature writes brain pages, `brain/RESOLVER.md`
-    has an entry for the directory so the pages aren't orphaned.
+## The Checklist
 
-## Trigger
-
-- "skillify this" / "skillify" / "is this a skill?" / "make this proper"
-- "add tests and evals for this"
-- After building any new feature that touches user-facing behavior
-- When you grep the repo and notice a script with no SKILL.md next to it
-
-## Phases
-
-### Phase 1: Audit what exists
-
-For the feature being skillified, answer:
-
-- **Feature name**: what does it do in one line?
-- **Code path**: where does the implementation live (file path)?
-- **Checklist status**: run `gbrain skillify check <path>` (preferred)
-  or the legacy `scripts/skillify-check.ts <path>` shim. Both produce
-  the same 10-item scorecard. Note which items are missing.
-
-### Phase 2: Create missing pieces in order
-
-**Fast path — brand-new skill:** run `gbrain skillify scaffold <name>
---description "..." [--triggers "p1,p2,p3"] [--writes-pages --writes-to
-"people/,companies/"]`. This creates all 5 stub files atomically and
-appends an idempotent resolver row. Every scaffolded file carries the
-`SKILLIFY_STUB` sentinel; `gbrain check-resolvable --strict` will fail
-CI until you replace the stubs with real content.
-
-**Manual path — extending an existing skill:** work the list top-down.
-Each earlier item constrains what later items look like (the SKILL.md
-contract determines what tests assert; tests determine what evals gate;
-the resolver entry determines what trigger-eval checks).
-
-1. Write `SKILL.md` first. Frontmatter must include `name`, `version`,
-   `description`, `triggers[]`, `tools[]`, `mutating`. Body has at minimum
-   Contract, Phases, and Output Format sections.
-2. Extract deterministic code into a script if applicable (scripts/*.ts
-   for gbrain; host projects may use .mjs / .py / whatever their runtime
-   uses).
-3. Write unit tests for every branch of the script. Mock external calls
-   (LLM, DB, network) so tests run fast and deterministic.
-4. Add integration tests that hit real endpoints. These catch bugs the
-   unit tests' mocks hide (see the `files-test-reimplements-production`
-   learning: reimplementation in tests lets production vulnerabilities
-   slip through).
-5. Add LLM evals if the feature includes any LLM call. Even a three-case
-   eval (happy / edge / adversarial) is cheap insurance against prompt
-   regressions.
-6. Add the resolver trigger to `skills/RESOLVER.md`. Use the trigger
-   patterns the user ACTUALLY types, not what you think they should type.
-7. Add a resolver trigger eval that feeds those patterns in and asserts
-   they route to the new skill.
-8. Run `gbrain check-resolvable` (auto-detects skill trees) or
-   `gbrain check-resolvable --skills-dir <path>` for custom locations.
-   OpenClaw workspaces are auto-detected from
-   `~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/`. The check validates reachability (is
-   the skill mentioned from RESOLVER.md?), MECE overlap (does it duplicate
-   an existing skill's trigger?), gap detection (are there user intents
-   that fall through the resolver with no match?), and DRY. If it fails,
-   fix the skill (or extend an existing one instead of creating a
-   duplicate).
-9. Add an E2E smoke test. For gbrain: submit a Minion job or run a CLI
-   invocation end-to-end against a fixture brain; assert side effects.
-10. Update `brain/RESOLVER.md` if the skill writes brain pages. Orphaned
-    brain pages are worse than no brain pages.
-
-### Phase 3: Verify
-
-Run each of these and confirm green:
-
-```bash
-# Unit tests
-bun test test/<skill-name>.test.ts
-
-# Integration tests (when applicable)
-bun run test:e2e
-
-# Resolver reachability + MECE + DRY
-gbrain check-resolvable
-
-# Conformance tests (skill YAML + required sections)
-bun test test/skills-conformance.test.ts
+```

-## Quality gates
+## Phase 0: Should This Be a Skill?
 
-A feature is NOT properly skilled until:
+Before skillifying, check:
+- Will this be invoked 2+ times? (One-off work ≠ skill)
+- Is there >20 lines of logic? (Trivial helpers don't need full infrastructure)
+- Does it have a clear trigger phrase a user would actually say?
 
-- All tests pass (unit + integration + evals).
-- It appears in `skills/RESOLVER.md` with accurate trigger patterns.
-- The resolver trigger eval confirms patterns route to the new skill.
-- `gbrain check-resolvable` shows no orphaned skills, no MECE overlaps,
-  no DRY violations.
-- If it writes brain pages, `brain/RESOLVER.md` has the directory.
+If no to all three, it's a script, not a skill. Move on.
 
-## Anti-Patterns
+## Phase 1: Audit
 
-- ❌ Code with no SKILL.md — invisible to the resolver; the agent will
-  never run it.
-- ❌ SKILL.md with no tests — untested contract; one prompt change
-  regresses silently.
-- ❌ Tests that reimplement production code — the reimplementation's
-  bugs don't catch production's bugs (the `files-test-reimplements-
-  production` lesson).
-- ❌ Resolver entry that uses internal jargon the user never types —
-  trigger patterns must mirror real user language.
-- ❌ Feature that writes to brain without a `brain/RESOLVER.md` entry —
-  orphaned pages the agent will never find.
-- ❌ Deterministic logic in LLM space — should be a script.
-- ❌ LLM judgment in deterministic space — should be an eval.

-## Why skillify + check-resolvable is the right pair
+## Phase 2: Write SKILL.md + Code (items 1-2)
 
-Hermes and similar agent frameworks auto-create skills as a background
-behavior. That's fine until you don't know what the agent shipped —
-checklists decay, tests drift, resolver entries get stale.

-- `/skillify` builds the checklist and helps you fill in the gaps.
-- `gbrain check-resolvable` validates the whole skill tree: reachability,
-  MECE, DRY, gap detection, orphaned skills.
+Body must include: **Contract** (what it guarantees), **Phases** (step-by-step), **Output Format** (what it produces).
 
-You decide when and what. The human keeps judgment. The tooling keeps the
-checklist honest. In practice this combo produces zero orphaned skills,
-every feature with tests + evals + resolver triggers + evals of the
-triggers.
+Extract deterministic code into `scripts/*.ts`.
+
+## Phase 3: Cross-Modal Eval (item 3) — THE QUALITY GATE
+
+### Why this comes before tests
+
+Tests lock in behavior. If the behavior is mediocre, tests lock in mediocrity.
+Cross-modal eval proves the quality bar FIRST, then tests cement it.
+
+### Step 1: Pick a representative input
+
+Choose the input that exercises the skill's hardest documented use case. If
+unsure: use the primary trigger example from SKILL.md, or the most complex
+real-world input from the last 7 days of memory files.
+
+### Step 2: Run the skill, capture output
+
+Run the skill on the representative input. The OUTPUT FILE is what gets
+evaluated.
+
+### Step 3: Run the eval gate
+
+```bash
+gbrain eval cross-modal \
+  --task "What this skill is supposed to accomplish" \
+  --output skills/<slug>/SKILL.md
+```
+
+The command runs 3 frontier models from 3 different providers in parallel,
+scores the OUTPUT against the TASK on 5 documented dimensions, and writes a
+receipt under `~/.gbrain/.gbrain/eval-receipts/<slug>-<sha8>.json` (the
+sha-8 binds the receipt to the current SKILL.md content — re-running after
+edits writes a new receipt).
+
+**Default models** (override per slot via `--slot-a-model`, `--slot-b-model`,
+`--slot-c-model`):
+
+| Slot | Default | Provider |
+|------|---------|----------|
+| A | `openai:gpt-4o` | OpenAI |
+| B | `anthropic:claude-opus-4-7` | Anthropic |
+| C | `google:gemini-1.5-pro` | Google |
+
+**These MUST be frontier models from DIFFERENT providers.** Using a single
+provider's family or budget models defeats the purpose — different families
+have less correlated blind spots. Refresh the list when a new model
+generation ships.
+
+**Pass criteria (BOTH must be true):**
+
+1. Every dimension's mean across successful models ≥ 7.
+2. No single model scored any dimension < 5 (the floor).
+
+**Inconclusive:** fewer than 2 of 3 models returned parseable scores.
+Receipt is still written (forensics) but the gate is not authoritative.
+Exit code 2; CI wrappers should treat this as "did not run cleanly", not
+"failed quality gate".
+
+### Step 4: Cycle until you pass (≤3 cycles)
+
+```
+CYCLE 1:
+  Eval → scores + top 10 improvements
+  IF pass: → done, write tests
+  ELSE:
+    Apply top 10 improvements to the actual file
+    Log: which improvements applied, what changed
+
+CYCLE 2:
+  Re-eval the FIXED output (same 3 models, same dimensions)
+  Compare: before/after scores per dimension (track delta)
+  IF pass: → done, write tests
+  ELSE: apply remaining improvements + new ones
+
+CYCLE 3 (final):
+  Re-eval
+  IF pass: → ship
+  ELSE: → ship with KNOWN_GAPS section listing:
+    - Which dimensions are still below 7
+    - Which improvements couldn't be resolved
+    - Why (e.g., "would require architectural change")
+```
+
+### Cycles + cost guardrails
+
+- Default `--cycles 3` in TTY, `--cycles 1` in non-TTY (limits scripted
+  bulk spend in CI loops).
+- The command prints an estimated max-cost-per-cycle from a small pricing
+  constant before each run. Real cost varies with prompt size; treat the
+  estimate as a ceiling for default `--max-tokens 4000`.
+- A `--budget-usd N` hard cap is a v0.27.x follow-up TODO.
+
+### Provider configuration
+
+Models resolve through the gbrain AI gateway. Configure once with:
+
+```bash
+gbrain providers test    # see what's configured
+gbrain config            # set keys
+```
+
+Or set env vars: `OPENAI_API_KEY`, `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`,
+`GOOGLE_GENERATIVE_AI_API_KEY`, `TOGETHER_API_KEY`, etc. The gateway reads
+from `~/.gbrain/config.json` plus `process.env`.
+
+### Cost expectations
+
+3 cycles × 3 models = 9 frontier calls max per run. With Opus-class +
+GPT-4o-class + Gemini-1.5-Pro, expect $1–3 per full run on default
+`--max-tokens 4000`. Receipts include the per-call model identifiers so
+you can audit retroactively.
+
+### Skip cross-modal eval when:
+
+- Output is < 200 tokens (trivial — not worth 9 API calls).
+- The skill is a thin wrapper around a single API call (one cycle is enough).
+
+## Phase 4: Tests (items 4-6)
+
+NOW that eval has proven quality, write tests that lock it in:
+
+**Unit tests** — every branch of deterministic logic. Mock external calls.
+**Integration tests** — hit real endpoints. Catch bugs mocks hide.
+**LLM evals** — quality/correctness for LLM steps. Lighter than cross-modal eval — test specific behaviors.
+
+## Phase 5: Resolver + Check-Resolvable (items 7-9)
+
+1. Add to skills/RESOLVER.md with trigger phrases users ACTUALLY type
+2. Resolver eval: feed triggers, assert correct routing
+3. Check-resolvable:
+   - Skill reachable from skills/RESOLVER.md (not orphaned)
+   - No MECE overlap with other skills
+   - No DRY violations (shared logic in lib/, not copy-pasted)
+   - No ambiguous trigger routing
+
+## Phase 6: E2E + Brain Filing (items 10-11)
+
+- E2E smoke: full pipeline from trigger to side effect
+- Brain filing: add to brain/RESOLVER.md if the skill writes brain pages
+
+## Phase 7: Verify
+
+```bash
+bun test test/<skill>.test.ts                    # unit tests
+gbrain skillify check skills/<slug>/scripts/<slug>.mjs --json | \
+  jq '.[] | .items[] | select(.name | contains("Cross-modal"))'
+ls ~/.gbrain/.gbrain/eval-receipts/              # receipt landed
+gbrain check-resolvable --json | jq .ok          # resolver clean
+```
+
+## Worked Example: Skillifying a "summarize-pr" Feature
+
+```
+Phase 0: Yes — invoked weekly, 50+ lines, clear trigger "summarize this PR"
+Phase 1: Audit → SKILL.md missing, no tests, no resolver entry. Score: 1/11
+Phase 2: Write SKILL.md + extract script to scripts/summarize-pr.ts
+Phase 3: Cross-modal eval cycle 1 →
+  GPT-4o: goal=6, depth=5, specificity=4 → "misses file-level diffs"
+  Opus 4.7: goal=7, depth=6, specificity=5 → "no test plan in summary"
+  Gemini 1.5 Pro: goal=6, depth=5, specificity=5 → "template feels generic"
+  Aggregate: goal=6.3 FAIL, depth=5.3 FAIL
+  Top improvements: add file-level changes, include test plan, use PR context
+  → Apply fixes → Cycle 2: goal=8, depth=7.5, specificity=7 → PASS
+Phase 4: Write 12 unit tests locking in the improved behavior
+Phase 5: Add "summarize this PR" trigger to skills/RESOLVER.md
+Phase 6: E2E test: feed a real PR URL → verify brain page created
+Phase 7: All green. Score: 11/11
+```
+
+## Quality Gates
+
+NOT properly skilled until:
+
+- All required items pass (1-2, 4-10; 11 only when applicable).
+- Cross-modal eval (item 3) has a current receipt OR is explicitly waived
+  with rationale (item 3 is informational; not blocking, but a missing
+  receipt is visible in the audit).
+- All tests pass (unit + integration + LLM evals).
+- Resolver entry exists with real trigger phrases.
+- Check-resolvable shows no orphans, overlaps, or DRY violations.
+- Brain filing if applicable.
 
 ## Output Format
 
-A skillify run produces, in order:
+Skillify produces three durable artifacts per skill:
 
-1. An audit printout listing which of the 10 items exist and which are
-   missing for the target feature.
-2. The files created to close each gap (SKILL.md, test files, resolver
-   entries).
-3. The final `gbrain check-resolvable` output confirming reachability.
-4. A one-line summary of the resulting skill completeness score (N/10).
+1. **The skill tree on disk.** `skills/<slug>/SKILL.md`, `scripts/<slug>.mjs`,
+   `routing-eval.jsonl`, plus a `test/<slug>.test.ts` skeleton. Generated by
+   `gbrain skillify scaffold <name>` and refined by the human/agent into a
+   real implementation.
+2. **A cross-modal eval receipt** at
+   `~/.gbrain/.gbrain/eval-receipts/<slug>-<sha8>.json`. The sha-8 binds the
+   receipt to the current `SKILL.md` content. `gbrain skillify check`
+   surfaces the status (`found` / `stale` / `missing`) as informational.
+3. **An audit verdict** from `gbrain skillify check`: `properly skilled` |
+   `close — create: <missing items>` | `needs skillify — run /skillify on
+   <target>`. Score is `<passed>/<total>`. Required items gate the verdict;
+   item 11 (cross-modal eval) is informational and never blocks PASS.
+
+JSON output (`gbrain skillify check --json`) includes the same fields plus
+the per-item detail string, so agents can route on the structured envelope
+without parsing prose.
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+- ❌ Writing tests before cross-modal eval (locks in mediocrity)
+- ❌ Using budget models for eval (C student grading A student)
+- ❌ Using a single provider's family for all 3 slots (correlated blind spots)
+- ❌ Skipping eval "because the output looks fine" (your judgment isn't 3 models)
+- ❌ Eval without fix cycle (vanity metrics)
+- ❌ Code with no SKILL.md (invisible to resolver)
+- ❌ Tests that reimplement production code (masks real bugs)
+- ❌ Resolver entry with internal jargon (must mirror real user language)
+- ❌ Two skills doing the same thing (merge or kill one)
+- ❌ Running cross-modal eval on trivial outputs (< 200 tokens, not worth 9 API calls)

+
+## What this is
+
+Take a large text PLUS a specific strategic problem, produce analysis that
+maps the text's insights onto the problem. This is not book summarization.
+This is reading with a mission.
+
+Where `book-mirror` personalizes a book to the reader's whole life,
+`strategic-reading` personalizes it to ONE current problem. Same shape
+(extract → analyze → mirror), different lens.
+
+**Canonical example:** a power-dynamics history book read against a
+specific gatekeeper-vs-incumbent fight, producing a tactical analysis that
+maps the book's playbook onto the situation with counter-tactics and a
+short/medium/long-term playbook.
+
+## Inputs
+
+1. **Source text** — book (EPUB/PDF), article, transcript, historical case
+   study, any large document.
+2. **Strategic problem** — the specific situation to analyze through the
+   lens of the text. The user describes this explicitly or it's obvious
+   from context.
+
+## Output
+
+The brain page is the artifact. PDF is a rendering, never primary.
+
+### Brain page structure
+
+```markdown
+# [Source Title] — Applied to [Problem]
+
+> One-paragraph executive summary: how the source maps to the situation,
+> the key insight, the bottom line.
+
+## The Core Parallel
+How the source's central dynamic maps onto the user's situation.
+
+## Chapter / Section Triage
+For each major section of the source:
+- 2-3 sentence summary of what it says
+- Relevance to the problem: HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW
+- One directly applicable quote (if any)
+
+## The Source's Playbook
+The author's framework, tactics, or strategies — organized as:
+- What the protagonist DID (tactics)
+- What WORKED and why
+- What FAILED and why
+- What OPPONENTS did that was effective
+
+## Counter-Tactics
+Specific moves from the source that map to the user's situation:
+- What to DO (with source evidence)
+- What to AVOID (with source evidence)
+- What to WATCH FOR (warning signs from the source)
+
+## Applied Playbook
+The synthesis — actionable recommendations:
+- **Short-term** (this week / this month)
+- **Medium-term** (this quarter)
+- **Long-term** (this year+)
+
+## Key Quotes
+Direct quotes from the source that are devastatingly relevant.
+Maximum 5-10. Quality over quantity.
+
+## See Also
+Links to relevant brain pages (related concepts, related projects).
+```
+
+## Process
+
+```
+Phase 1: Ingest the source
+  ├── EPUB: extract chapters via BeautifulSoup (see book-mirror SKILL.md
+  │   for the extraction pipeline)
+  ├── PDF: pdftotext -layout
+  ├── Article: web_fetch
+  └── Identify Table of Contents and total size.
+
+Phase 2: Triage chapters
+  ├── Read first 2000 chars of each chapter.
+  ├── Classify relevance to the problem (HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW).
+  └── HIGH chapters get full reads. MEDIUM partial. LOW skipped.
+
+Phase 3: Deep read HIGH chapters
+  ├── Tactics and strategies used.
+  ├── Power dynamics and how they shifted.
+  ├── Specific quotes that map to the problem.
+  └── Moments where the protagonist's approach succeeded or failed.
+
+Phase 4: Synthesize
+  ├── Map source insights onto the specific problem.
+  ├── Build the playbook (do / avoid / watch for).
+  ├── Generate short/medium/long-term recommendations.
+  └── Select the most devastating quotes.
+
+Phase 5: Write and deliver
+  ├── Write the brain page at the right location:
+  │     • If problem-specific: projects/<slug>/playbook.md
+  │     • If general strategy: concepts/<slug>.md
+  ├── put_page via the standard CLI flow.
+  └── Optional: render to PDF via skills/brain-pdf.
+```
+
+## Quality bar
+
+- **Every recommendation must cite the source.** Don't say "go direct to
+  the mayor" — say "go direct to the mayor, because when the protagonist
+  refused to be intimidated by a resignation threat (Ch 48), the bluff
+  that worked on five mayors finally failed."
+- **Direct quotes are mandatory.** The source's own words carry more
+  weight than paraphrase.
+- **The analysis must be actionable.** Not "this is interesting" but "do
+  this, avoid that, watch for this."
+- **Short/medium/long-term breakdown is mandatory.** The user needs to
+  know what to do tomorrow AND what to do this year.
+
+## What this skill is NOT
+
+- Not a book summary tool. Use a different skill (or `book-mirror` for
+  personalized analysis) for general summaries.
+- Not a research tool. Use `perplexity-research` for finding new
+  information about a topic.
+- Not academic literary analysis. No one cares about literary merit —
+  only strategic application.

-- Every SKILL.md has valid YAML frontmatter (name, description)
-- Every SKILL.md has required sections (Contract, Anti-Patterns, Output Format)
-- manifest.json lists every skill directory
-- RESOLVER.md references every skill in the manifest
+## Two modes
+
+This skill has two related but distinct modes:
+
+1. **Skill conformance validation** — gbrain's own conformance bar
+   (the original 1.0 scope). Validates every skill has SKILL.md with
+   frontmatter, every reference exists, manifest + resolver coverage
+   round-trips.
+
+2. **Project test-suite health (v0.25.1 extension)** — runs the
+   project's tiered test suite and produces a regression-classified
+   report. Used by daily cron, container-restart bootstrap, and
+   "how are the tests" prompts.
+
+Pick the mode by trigger.
+
+## Mode 1: Skill conformance validation
+
+### Contract
+
+This mode guarantees:
+
+- Every skill directory has a `SKILL.md` file
+- Every `SKILL.md` has valid YAML frontmatter (`name`, `description`)
+- Every `SKILL.md` has required sections per
+  `test/skills-conformance.test.ts`
+- `skills/manifest.json` lists every skill directory
+- `skills/RESOLVER.md` references every skill in the manifest
+- `openclaw.plugin.json` `skills[]` round-trips with both
 - No MECE violations (duplicate triggers across skills)
 
-## Phases
+### Phases
 
-1. **Walk skills directory.** List all subdirectories containing SKILL.md.
+1. **Walk skills directory.** List all subdirs containing `SKILL.md`.
 2. **Validate frontmatter.** Parse YAML, check required fields.
-3. **Validate sections.** Check for Contract, Anti-Patterns, Output Format headings.

+## Mode 2: Project test-suite health (v0.25.1)
+
+### When to use
+
+- Daily test cron fires
+- User asks "run the tests" / "how are the tests" / "what's broken"
+- After significant code changes (often via cross-modal-review)
+- After container restart (bootstrap)
+- When something seems off and you want to verify system health
+
+### Test tiers
+
+| Tier | What it runs | Wall time | Gates |
+|------|--------------|-----------|-------|
+| **Unit** | `bun test` (deterministic, zero external calls) | <2s | Every commit |
+| **Evals** | LLM-judge or quality evals | ~60s | Daily |
+| **Integration** | E2E tests against real Postgres | ~5m | Pre-ship + nightly |
+| **System health** | Disk / memory / CPU / service liveness | <10s | Daily |
+
+### Daily run protocol
+
+When the cron fires (or the user asks), do ALL of this:
+
+#### 1. Run unit tests
+
+```bash
+bun test 2>&1
+```
+
+Parse: total passed, total failed, total skipped, file-level results.
+
+#### 2. Run evals (if the project has an evals config)
+
+```bash
+# Adapt to the project's eval config
+bun test --filter eval 2>&1
+```
+
+Parse: same format. Note any flakes (tests that fail due to API
+timeouts, not code bugs).
+
+#### 3. Run system health checks
+
+- Disk / memory / CPU
+- gbrain: `gbrain doctor --fast --json`
+- Database connection (if applicable)
+- Critical files exist (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, etc.)
+
+#### 4. Git diff analysis (CRITICAL — regression intelligence)
+
+```bash
+# What changed since last test run?
+git log --oneline --since="24 hours ago"
+```
+
+For each failing test:
+
+1. Check if the test itself was modified recently (test change, not
+   regression).
+2. Check if the code it tests was modified recently (possible
+   regression).
+3. Check if it's a known flake (API timeout, service down).
+4. Check if a dependency was updated (gbrain, bun, etc.).
+
+#### 5. Classify each failure
+
+| Classification | Marker | Action |
+|---------------|--------|--------|
+| **REGRESSION** — code changed, test broke | 🔴 | Flag with the commit that broke it |
+| **STALE** — test expects old behavior; code is correct | 🟡 | Fix the test, not the code |
+| **FLAKE** — API timeout, service down, LLM variance | ⚠️ | Note, don't alarm; retry once |
+| **NEW** — test was just added and isn't passing yet | 🟢 | Check if intentional |
+| **INFRA** — container restart wiped state | 🛠 | Run bootstrap, retest |
+
+#### 6. Report format
+
+```
+🧪 Daily Tests — YYYY-MM-DD
+
+Unit:   X/Y passed (Z skipped)
+Evals:  X/Y passed
+System: [health summary]
+
+REGRESSIONS:
+  🔴 <test-name>: broke by commit <sha> "<commit message>"
+
+STALE TESTS:
+  🟡 <test-name>: expects X but code now does Y (commit <sha>)
+
+FLAKES:
+  ⚠️ <test-name>: timeout (retry passed)
+
+✅ ALL CLEAR  (when applicable)
+```
+
+#### 7. Auto-fix protocol
+
+**DO auto-fix:**
+
+- Test expects an old file path after a rename → update the test
+- Test expects an old version string → update
+- Test expects a file that was intentionally deleted → remove the test
+- Import path broke because file moved → fix the import
+
+**DO NOT auto-fix:**
+
+- Test expects behavior A but code now does B → ASK first. Maybe the
+  test is right and the code has a bug.
+- Security test failing → ALWAYS escalate, never auto-fix.
+- Test was skipped with a TODO → don't un-skip without understanding why.
+
+When uncertain: check the commit message that changed the code, check
+if there's a related PR or conversation, ask the user if still unclear.
+

 ## Anti-Patterns
 
-- Skipping validation after adding a new skill
-- Adding skills to manifest without adding to resolver
-- Creating skills without the conformance template
+- ❌ Skipping conformance validation after adding a new skill
+- ❌ Adding skills to `manifest.json` without adding to RESOLVER.md
+- ❌ Treating every red test as a regression. Classify first; many are
+  stale or flaky.
+- ❌ Auto-un-skipping a test without understanding why it was skipped
+- ❌ Auto-"fixing" a security test failure
+- ❌ Reporting "all clear" without actually running system health checks
+
+
+## Contract
+
+This skill guarantees:
+
+- Routing matches the canonical triggers in the frontmatter.
+- Output written under the directories listed in `writes_to:` (when applicable).
+- Conventions referenced (`quality.md`, `brain-first.md`, `_brain-filing-rules.md`) are followed.
+- Privacy contract preserved: no real names, no fork-specific filesystem path literals, no upstream-fork references.
+
+The full behavior contract is documented in the body sections above; this section exists for the conformance test.
+
+## Output Format
+
+The skill's output shape is documented inline in the body sections above (see "Output", "Brain page format", or equivalent). The literal section header here exists for the conformance test (`test/skills-conformance.test.ts`).

+
+## Iron Law
+
+The user's **exact words** are the insight. Never paraphrase. Never clean
+up. The vivid, unpolished, stream-of-consciousness phrasing captures
+something that cleaned-up prose does not. Preserve it in block quotes.
+The Analysis section can interpret; the transcript section is sacred.
+
+- ✅ `"The ambition-to-lifespan ratio has never been more fucked"`
+- ❌ `User noted the tension between ambition and mortality`
+
+## When to invoke
+
+The user sends an audio or voice message via any channel (Telegram, voice
+memo upload, openclaw audio attachment). The host agent typically provides
+the transcript text. If not, transcribe via `gbrain transcription` (Groq
+Whisper by default; OpenAI fallback for audio > 25MB segmented via ffmpeg).
+
+## The pipeline
+
+```
+1. STORE       → Upload original audio to gbrain storage backend
+                 (S3 / Supabase Storage / local — pluggable per
+                 src/core/storage.ts).
+2. TRANSCRIBE  → Use the agent-provided transcript verbatim, OR call
+                 gbrain transcription if no transcript was supplied.
+3. ROUTE       → Apply the decision tree (below) to find the right
+                 destination directory.
+4. WRITE       → Create / update the destination brain page; preserve the
+                 verbatim transcript in a block-quoted "User's Words"
+                 section.
+5. CROSS-LINK  → For every entity mentioned (person, company), add a
+                 timeline back-link from THEIR brain page to THIS one
+                 (Iron Law per conventions/quality.md).
+```
+
+## Decision tree (where the content goes)
+
+Apply in order. First match wins. If multiple categories apply, file to
+the primary directory and cross-link to the others.
+
+1. **Original idea, observation, or thesis** — the user is expressing a
+   novel thought, framework, or connection THEY generated.
+   → `originals/<slug>.md`. Use the user's vivid language for the slug.
+
+2. **About a world concept they encountered** — a framework or model
+   someone else created that the user is referencing.
+   → `concepts/<slug>.md`.
+
+3. **About a specific person** — new information, opinion, or observation
+   about someone.
+   → Update `people/<person>.md` timeline.
+
+4. **About a specific company** — new info about a company.
+   → Update `companies/<company>.md` timeline.
+
+5. **A product or business idea** — something that could be built.
+   → `ideas/<slug>.md`.
+
+6. **A personal reflection** — therapy-adjacent, emotional, identity.
+   → Append to appropriate `personal/<slug>.md`.
+
+7. **None of the above / random thought / doesn't fit cleanly** —
+   → `voice-notes/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md` (catch-all).
+
+**Multiple categories?** Create the primary page, then cross-link to all
+others. If the voice note covers a person AND a novel idea, create the
+originals/ page AND update the person's timeline.
+
+## Brain page format
+
+For ALL voice-note-derived pages, include this skeleton:
+
+```markdown
+---
+title: "[Title derived from content]"
+type: [original | concept | voice-note | ...]
+created: YYYY-MM-DD
+updated: YYYY-MM-DD
+tags: [voice-note, relevant-tags]
+sources:
+  voice-note:
+    type: voice_note
+    storage_path: "[gbrain storage URL or relative path]"
+    acquired: YYYY-MM-DD
+    acquired_via: "voice note from <channel>"
+---
+
+# Title
+
+> Executive summary of what was said and why it matters.
+
+## User's Words
+
+> "Exact transcript, verbatim, preserving every word, hesitation, and verbal
+> tic. This is the primary source material. Do not edit."
+
+🔊 [Audio]([gbrain storage URL or relative path])
+
+## Analysis
+
+[What this means, why it matters, connections to other thinking. The
+analysis is the agent's interpretation; the transcript above is sacred.]

+- **YYYY-MM-DD** | voice note from <channel> — [Brief description]

+
+## Citation format

+```
+
+Include timestamps when available:
+
+```
+[Source: voice note, <channel>, YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM PT]
+```
+
+## Naming convention
+
+- Audio files: `YYYY-MM-DD-<brief-slug>.<ext>` (e.g.,
+  `2026-04-13-rick-rubin-creative-philosophy.ogg`)
+- Brain pages: match the slug of the destination directory.
+
+## Bulk vs. single
+
+This skill handles ONE voice note at a time. Each is its own ingest cycle.
+No batching.
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+- ❌ **Paraphrasing the transcript.** The exact words are the signal.
+- ❌ **Cleaning up hesitations or filler words** ("um", "like", "you
+  know"). The texture matters.
+- ❌ **Creating a page with no entity cross-links** when people/companies
+  were mentioned. Iron Law fail.
+- ❌ **Skipping the audio storage step.** Always upload the original; the
+  brain page has a `🔊 [Audio]` link back to it.
