+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- The table retrieval wrapper adds at most one extra bounded retrieval call and reuses existing dense/FTS repository paths.
+- Explicit non-table filters do not trigger table-specific retrieval, so caller constraints are not broadened.
+- KnowledgeFS table HTML rendering uses the already-loaded table node and does not query parse artifacts or object storage.
+
+## Known Risks And Follow-Up
+
+- Table intent detection is keyword-based. A later quality iteration can replace this with query planning signals or learned routing.
+- HTML rendering supports common JSON table payloads. Rich tables with merged cells, footnotes, and layout boxes will need parser-specific metadata rendering in a later structured-document polish slice.

+# Temporal-Compatible Workflow Boundary
+
+## What Changed
+
+- Added `docs/temporal-compatible-interface.md`.
+- Documented how the current `JobQueueAdapter`, document compilation worker, repository activities, state-machine status facade, and trace recorder map to a future Temporal runtime.
+- Captured future adapter shape, workflow input rules, deterministic workflow constraints, activity boundaries, cancellation/compensation behavior, workflow types, observability expectations, and migration steps.
+- Linked the new document from `README.md`.
+
+## Why
+
+Sprint 12 requires the future Temporal adapter boundary to be documented but not implemented. This keeps the current durable job queue strategy intact while making future Temporal adoption deliberate and compatible with existing Hono APIs, repositories, and worker tests.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- The document explicitly forbids raw file bytes, parse text, embeddings, JWTs, prompts, and large arrays in workflow payload/history.
+- Temporal activities must keep explicit limits, stable cursors, parameterized repository calls, and batched access patterns.
+- Cleanup workflows must continue through bounded cursor pages instead of scanning full spaces.
+
+## Verification
+
+- RED:
+  - `test -f docs/temporal-compatible-interface.md` failed because the document did not exist.
+- GREEN:
+  - `test -f docs/temporal-compatible-interface.md`

+  - `docker compose --profile apps config`
+  - `git diff --check`
+
+## Risks And Follow-Up
+
+- This slice is documentation only. A future implementation must add conformance tests before introducing Temporal SDK dependencies or runtime wiring.

+# WASM Bindgen CI Build Fix
+
+## What Changed
+
+- Added root `wasm:bindgen:install` script that ensures `wasm-bindgen-cli 0.2.121` is installed on `PATH`.
+- Updated `wasm:build` to run `wasm-pack build --mode no-install`, so `wasm-pack` no longer tries to download a prebuilt `wasm-bindgen` release during CI.
+- Updated README WASM build notes to document the pinned `wasm-bindgen-cli` bootstrap.
+
+## Why
+
+- GitHub Actions failed with `Error fetching release: Request failed with status code 404` while `wasm-pack` tried to fetch a release dynamically.
+- Installing the CLI through Cargo makes the build deterministic and avoids the failing release-download path.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm wasm:build`: passed locally with the new bootstrap path.

+  - `pnpm wasm:build`
+  - `pnpm compose:config`
+  - `docker compose --profile apps config`
+  - `git diff --check`
+
+## Risks And Follow-Up
+
+- First CI run may spend extra time compiling `wasm-bindgen-cli`; adding a Cargo binary cache can optimize this later if needed.

+# Workspace Replay
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added bounded agent workspace replay for `AgentWorkspaceSnapshot` command logs.
+- Replay compares current command output summaries with the original snapshot summaries and reports matched, changed, and failed commands.
+
+## Key Changes
+
+- Added `createAgentWorkspaceReplayService()` with injected runner, deterministic ID/time hooks, and bounded command/output-summary limits.
+- Added `POST /agent-workspace-snapshots/{id}/replay`.
+- Added optional MCP tool `knowledge.workspace_snapshot.replay`.
+- Gateway defaults to a safe-shell replay runner for KnowledgeFS workspace commands, while tests can inject a deterministic runner.
+- Replay responses are tenant scoped and clone isolated.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- Replay is explicitly bounded by `maxCommands` and `maxOutputSummaryBytes`.
+- Commands run sequentially in snapshot order to keep comparison deterministic and avoid uncontrolled concurrency.
+- The default gateway runner uses allowlisted safe-shell command planning; it never executes arbitrary host shell commands.
+- Cross-tenant access returns `404` without revealing snapshot existence.
+

+# Workspace Snapshot MCP/API Tools
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added authenticated AgentWorkspaceSnapshot API routes:
+  - `POST /agent-workspace-snapshots`
+  - `GET /agent-workspace-snapshots/{id}`
+- Wired Gateway defaults to a bounded in-memory workspace snapshot repository.
+- Added optional MCP tools:
+  - `knowledge.workspace_snapshot.create`
+  - `knowledge.workspace_snapshot.get`
+
+## Performance And Safety Notes
+
+- Snapshot repository remains explicitly bounded for snapshots, mounts, source versions, command log entries, and evidence bundles.
+- API creation checks the tenant-scoped KnowledgeSpace once before persisting a snapshot.
+- API input rejects caller-supplied `tenantId` and `permissionSnapshot`; both are derived from the authenticated server-side subject.
+- Snapshot reads use `{ id, tenantId }`, so cross-tenant reads return 404.
+- MCP snapshot tools are opt-in through injected handlers and are absent when no handler is configured.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- RED first:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/gateway.test.ts`
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/mcp.test.ts`
+  - Failures confirmed missing HTTP routes and missing MCP tools.

+# A/B Retrieval Strategy Comparison
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added Phase 6 Sprint 20 A/B retrieval strategy comparison.
+- The new runner evaluates the same bounded golden-question page against exactly two named retrieval strategies.
+- It reports per-strategy retrieval evaluation, challenger-vs-baseline metric deltas, cursor propagation, and a deterministic winner.
+
+## What Changed
+
+- Added `createAbRetrievalStrategyComparisonRunner()`.
+- Added A/B-specific contracts:
+  - `AbRetrievalStrategy`
+  - `AbRetrievalStrategyComparisonRunner`
+  - `AbRetrievalStrategyComparisonReport`
+  - `AbRetrievalStrategyWinner`
+- Reused existing retrieval evaluation primitives:
+  - `GoldenQuestionRepository`
+  - `EmbeddingProvider`
+  - `BasicHybridRetriever`
+  - `RetrievalEvaluationReport`
+  - metric delta calculation.
+- Added validation:
+  - exactly two strategies.
+  - non-empty unique strategy names.
+  - max 80 chars per strategy name.
+  - existing `maxQuestions` / `maxTopK` bounds.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- Embeddings are generated once per bounded golden-question page.
+- Each golden question runs exactly two strategy calls, matching the explicit A/B comparison contract.
+- The runner uses the existing paginated `GoldenQuestionRepository` and rejects unbounded page/topK inputs.
+- No database schema, list endpoint, or additional query path was introduced.
+
+## TDD / RED
+
+- Added a failing API test that imported `createAbRetrievalStrategyComparisonRunner()` before it existed.
+- The RED run failed with `createAbRetrievalStrategyComparisonRunner is not a function`.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Focused verification passed:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/gateway.test.ts`
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test:coverage`
+- Full verification before commit:
+  - `pnpm check`
+  - `pnpm build`
+  - `pnpm lint`
+  - `cargo test --workspace`
+  - `pnpm wasm:build`
+  - `pnpm compose:config`
+  - `docker compose --profile apps config`
+  - `git diff --check`
+
+## Known Risks And Follow-Up
+
+- This slice is the TypeScript evaluation runner only.
+- Retrieval Studio side-by-side UI is the next Sprint 20 item.
+- Persisted A/B experiment history and API endpoints can be added after UI workflow requirements are clearer.
+
+## Cadence
+
+- This will be implementation commit 2 after reviewed checkpoint `7733961`.
+- The next 10-commit review is not yet due.

+# Advanced Retrieval Metrics
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added an advanced retrieval evaluation runner for context precision, relevance, faithfulness, and citation accuracy.
+- The runner reuses the bounded golden-question evaluation flow and adds a batched LLM-as-judge boundary.
+- Judge proposals remain read-only evaluation signals; this slice does not persist dashboards or production bad cases.
+
+## Key Changes
+
+- Added `createAdvancedRetrievalEvaluationRunner()`.
+- Added `AdvancedRetrievalMetricJudge` with a single `evaluateBatch()` call per bounded evaluation page.
+- Added advanced per-question metrics:
+  - `contextPrecision`
+  - `relevanceScore`
+  - `faithfulnessScore`
+  - `citationAccuracy`
+  - `judgedRelevantEvidenceIds`
+- Added advanced aggregate metrics on the evaluation report.
+- Added guardrails for:
+  - bounded `maxJudgeContextBytes`
+  - embedding count mismatches
+  - judge result count mismatches
+  - unknown or duplicate judge ids
+  - invalid score ranges
+  - judge evidence ids that do not reference retrieved context
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- Golden-question listing remains explicitly bounded by `limit` and `maxQuestions`.
+- Embeddings are still batched once per evaluation page.
+- LLM judging is batched once per evaluation page, avoiding per-question judge round trips.
+- Judge context is serialized and rejected if it exceeds `maxJudgeContextBytes`.
+- No new database query path or unbounded list/read surface was introduced.
+
+## TDD
+
+- RED first:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/gateway.test.ts` failed because `createAdvancedRetrievalEvaluationRunner` did not exist.
+- GREEN coverage includes:
+  - successful advanced metrics computation
+  - batched judge input shape
+  - empty-page behavior
+  - pagination cursor handling
+  - oversized judge context
+  - invalid embedding and judge outputs
+  - coverage recovery above the 90% branch threshold
+
+## Verification
+
+- Passed:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/gateway.test.ts`
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api typecheck`
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test:coverage`
+  - `pnpm check`
+  - `pnpm build`

+  - `cargo test --workspace`
+  - `pnpm wasm:build`
+  - `pnpm compose:config`
+  - `docker compose --profile apps config`
+  - `git diff --check`
+
+## Follow-Up
+
+- Sprint 19 evaluation dashboard can consume the advanced report shape.
+- CI regression hardening can later add thresholds for faithfulness and citation accuracy.
+
+## Review Cadence
+
+- This will be implementation commit 9 after reviewed checkpoint `55f83ef`.

+# CI Regression Blocking Hardening
+
+## What Changed
+
+- Extended `createRetrievalRegressionGate()` with optional advanced quality metrics:
+  - `citationAccuracy`
+  - `faithfulnessScore`
+- Added optional advanced thresholds for minimum scores and baseline drop limits.
+- Made advanced metrics fail closed when advanced thresholds are configured but the current or baseline report omits the required metric.
+- Updated the checked-in regression report to enable citation accuracy and faithfulness thresholds.
+- Updated the regression CLI success output to include advanced metrics when present.
+
+## Why It Changed
+
+Sprint 20 requires CI to block merges on recall, faithfulness, and citation quality. The existing gate only enforced recall, citation-hit, and no-answer metrics, so advanced judge metrics could drift without failing CI.
+
+## Verification
+
+- RED first:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/retrieval-regression.test.ts` failed because advanced thresholds were ignored and missing advanced metrics did not fail.
+- Focused verification passed:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/retrieval-regression.test.ts`
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api typecheck`
+  - `pnpm eval:regression`
+- Full verification passed:
+  - `pnpm check`
+  - `pnpm build`
+  - `pnpm lint`
+  - `cargo test --workspace`
+  - `pnpm wasm:build`
+  - `pnpm compose:config`
+  - `docker compose --profile apps config`
+  - `git diff --check`
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- The gate operates on aggregate metrics only and does not add query, database, or network work.
+- Failure output remains bounded by the existing `maxFailures` threshold.
+- Advanced metric validation is O(1) over the report.
+
+## Known Risks And Follow-Up
+
+- The checked-in report remains a deterministic fixture. A later production workflow can replace it with a generated evaluation artifact while preserving the same gate contract.

+# Code Review Remediation Follow-Up
+
+## Summary
+
+- Continued remediation from `docs/code-review-issues.md` for items that were previously deferred or only partially addressed.
+- Kept the fixes test-driven: each behavioral change has focused regression coverage before implementation.
+
+## Fixed Findings
+
+- H1/M5: Extracted trace recorder types and factories from `packages/api/src/index.ts` into `packages/api/src/tracing.ts`, and removed the remaining `context: any` Hono route handler assertions behind a typed local handler boundary.
+- M3/L7/L8: Added explicit approximate token counting (`countApproxTokens`) through Rust/WASM and the TypeScript compute runtime, improved Latin long-word approximation, and removed redundant Zod re-parse cloning in the WASM wrapper.
+- M8: Added a deterministic `schema_migrations` version tracking table renderer and pending-migration planning API.
+- L3: Added `updatedAt` model support for `DocumentAsset`, `ParseArtifact`, `KnowledgeNode`, and `IndexProjection`; regenerated PostgreSQL/TiDB initial migration artifacts with nullable `updated_at` columns for previously missing lifecycle tables.
+- L5: Changed the API Docker image to build a bundled JavaScript server, run with `node server.mjs`, and run as the non-root `node` user. Moved `tsx` out of production dependencies.
+- L16: Made dry-run research task LLM token pricing configurable instead of hard-coded inside the estimator.
+- L21/L24: Added `ObjectStorageAdapter.getObjectStream()` and memory/S3 implementations so callers are no longer forced through all-at-once `getObject()` reads.
+- M10: Added regression coverage for nullable metadata in embedding/rerank cache key canonicalization.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Focused verification passed:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/database test -- src/schema.test.ts src/migration-file.test.ts`
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/adapters test -- src/object-storage.test.ts`
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/research-task-planning.test.ts src/code-health.test.ts`
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/compute test -- src/compute.test.ts`

+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api-app test -- src/server-options.test.ts`
+  - `cargo test --workspace`
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api-app build:prod`
+  - `pnpm typecheck`
+  - `pnpm lint`
+- Full verification passed:
+  - `pnpm check`
+  - `pnpm build`
+  - `pnpm lint`
+  - `cargo test --workspace`
+  - `pnpm wasm:build`
+  - `pnpm compose:config`
+  - `docker compose --profile apps config`
+  - `git diff --check`
+
+## Remaining Larger Tracks
+
+- Full API route/domain decomposition remains ongoing; this slice moved tracing and blocked reintroducing the worst route-handler `any` pattern.
+- Provider retry/backoff, structured provider error hierarchy across all provider packages, true incremental SSE streaming, and a live migration runner remain separate hardening slices.

+# Code Review Remediation
+
+## Summary
+
+- Addressed the actionable high/medium-risk findings from `docs/code-review-issues.md` with red-first regression coverage.
+- Added lasting guardrails to `.harness/agents/development-requirements.md` so future work does not reintroduce the same classes of issues.
+- Left only large architectural items for separate planned refactors where a one-shot patch would be riskier than the underlying issue.
+
+## Fixed Findings
+
+- H2: Added generated foreign key constraints for core document, node, projection, trace, golden-question, and graph relationships.
+- H3: `collectPlatformHealth` now treats throwing component checks as unhealthy instead of failing the whole health report.
+- H4: Admin forms now submit through `/api/bff/...` instead of directly to the API origin.
+- H5: BFF allowlist now includes graph traversal and KnowledgeFS routes used by the shared Admin client.
+- H6: Gateway now has structured `notFound` and `onError` handling, while preserving Hono `HTTPException` status responses.
+- M1: SQL identifier quoting now escapes embedded dialect quote characters.
+- M2/L21: Admin BFF request bodies and Admin JSON responses are chunk-read with explicit byte limits.
+- M4/L18: Memory cache now supports `maxTotalBytes` and LRU eviction.
+- M7: Inline, Cloudflare, and pg-boss job queues clear idempotency keys on terminal lifecycle transitions.
+- M9/M12: TiDB FTS syntax is idempotent, TiDB FTS column type is compatible, PostgreSQL vector storage uses `vector(1536)`, and a generated HNSW index is declared.
+- M11/M13: Runtime fallbacks now report honest in-memory kinds instead of pretending to be S3/R2/KV.
+- L1/L2: Adapter contracts now expose optional `close()` hooks, and KnowledgeFS virtual path validation is generated from namespace options.
+- L6/L10/L11/L12/L14/L15/L17/L23/L25: Fixed WASM `--locked` release builds/profile tuning, accented Latin token runs, percent rounding bias, singular trace labels, Voyage `input_type`, citation off-by-one, rate-limit identity leakage, skipped-heading section paths, and serial research checks.
+
+## Deferred Structural Items
+
+- H1/M5: Full decomposition of `packages/api/src/index.ts` and removal of Hono context `any` workarounds should be its own large refactor with route-by-route module ownership.
+- M6: SSE multi-line data semantics are fixed, but true incremental provider event yielding still needs a dedicated streaming parser refactor.
+- M8: Incremental migration runner/version tracking is still a larger database lifecycle feature; this slice strengthened checked-in generated artifacts and constraints.
+- L5/L7/L9/L13/L20/L22/L24: Docker JS runtime build, WASM wrapper fast paths, shared utility extraction, provider retry/abort semantics, embedding clone reduction, structured provider errors, and streaming object reads remain separate hardening tracks.
+
+## TDD / Verification
+
+- RED coverage was added first for the fixed behaviors in core health aggregation, adapter cache/queue/runtime factories, database schema rendering, Admin BFF/client/UI, generation SSE parsing, parser section paths, embeddings provider request mapping, API gateway errors/rate limits, and research workflow behavior.
+- Focused verification passed:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/core test -- src/platform-adapter.test.ts`
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/adapters test -- src/cache.test.ts src/adapters.test.ts src/database.test.ts src/job-queue.test.ts`

+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/embeddings test -- src/embedding.test.ts`
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/research-workflow.test.ts src/gateway.test.ts`
+  - `cargo test --workspace`

+  - `cargo test --workspace`
+  - `pnpm wasm:build`
+  - `pnpm compose:config`
+  - `docker compose --profile apps config`
+  - `git diff --check`
+
+## Risk Notes
+
+- Foreign keys are now emitted in initial migration artifacts. Existing live databases would need a reviewed migration plan before applying these constraints to non-empty data.
+- The API god file remains the highest maintainability debt; future feature work must avoid adding to it and should extract touched areas opportunistically.

+# Command Registry Output Validation
+
+## Summary
+
+- Completed R4 from the code-review remediation plan by making command output validation explicit.
+- Preserved existing command behavior when no output schema is configured.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Added optional `outputSchema` to `RegisteredCommandDefinition`.
+- Validated handler output with the configured schema before returning it from `CommandRegistry.execute()`.
+- Failed invalid outputs with a command-scoped error so callers do not receive malformed tool data.
+- Added regression coverage for valid output parsing, invalid output rejection, and legacy unschematized output behavior.
+
+## Verification

+
+## Verification
+
+- Completion review:
+  - Confirmed Phase 6 Sprint 20 final documentation is complete.

+# Core Stable JSON Utility
+
+## Summary
+
+- Continued R6 by centralizing deterministic JSON rendering in `@knowledge/core`.
+- Removed duplicate `stableJson` implementations from embeddings and generation.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Added `packages/core/src/json-utils.ts` with `stableJson`.
+- Exported shared JSON utilities from `@knowledge/core`.
+- Updated embeddings and generation to import shared `stableJson`.
+- Added code-health guardrails so package-local `stableJson` implementations do not return.
+- Added `@knowledge/core` as an embeddings workspace dependency.

+# Embedding Clone Path Simplification
+
+## Summary
+
+- Continued R6 from the code-review remediation plan by reducing dense-vector defensive clones in embedding providers.
+- Kept clone isolation at external return boundaries while avoiding duplicate copies during cache serialization, cache decode, and HTTP dense-vector parsing.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Added an embedding code-health guardrail for known duplicate clone patterns.
+- Changed embedding cache writes to serialize provider-owned results directly.
+- Changed cache decode to return JSON-decoded ownership and let the caller clone once at the return boundary.
+- Changed Cohere/OpenAI dense-vector parsing to validate parsed vectors and clone only in `buildResult`.
+
+## Verification

+
+- R6 remains open for further API decomposition; this slice specifically resolves the review note about excessive embedding vector copies.

+# Embedding Provider Retry Guardrails
+
+## What Changed
+
+- Extended embedding and reranker inputs with optional `AbortSignal` support.
+- Added bounded retry configuration to HTTP embedding and reranker providers:
+  - `maxRetries`
+  - `retryDelayMs`
+  - injectable `sleep(ms)`.
+- HTTP embedding and reranker providers now rebuild requests on each retry so JSON request bodies are not reused after a failed attempt.
+- Retryable statuses are bounded to `408`, `409`, `425`, `429`, and `5xx`.
+
+## Why
+
+- Continues R2 from `.harness/docs/code-review-remediation-iteration-plan.md`.
+- Addresses the embedding/reranker side of review issue L13 with bounded retry/backoff and cancellation propagation.
+- Keeps request body handling safe for real fetch implementations by creating a fresh `Request` per attempt.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/embeddings test -- src/embedding.test.ts`
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/embeddings test:coverage`
+- `pnpm typecheck`
+- `pnpm lint`
+- `git diff --check`
+
+## Known Risks / Follow-Up
+
+- Parser provider retry/abort and structured provider error classes from L22 remain in R2.

+# Evaluation Dashboard
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added an Admin Console evaluation dashboard for Phase 6 quality governance.
+- The dashboard summarizes pass rate, recall trend, citation trend, faithfulness, cost, and latency.
+- Added a bounded summary helper so dashboard data shaping is testable outside React rendering.
+
+## Key Changes
+
+- Added `createEvaluationDashboardSummary()` in `apps/admin/lib/evaluation-dashboard.ts`.
+- Added validation for bounded dashboard runs and metric ranges.
+- Added dashboard scorecards for pass rate, recall@K, citation accuracy, and faithfulness.
+- Added recall and citation trend bars.
+- Added latest and rolling average cost/latency display.
+- Added Admin navigation entry for the evaluation dashboard.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- Dashboard input is bounded by `maxRuns`.
+- Trend rendering is bounded by `maxTrendPoints`.
+- Summary computation sorts and scans the bounded run list once.
+- This slice is UI-only and does not introduce new API, database, or retrieval runtime query paths.
+
+## TDD
+
+- RED first:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin test -- lib/evaluation-dashboard.test.ts app/page.test.tsx` failed because the dashboard helper and UI did not exist.
+- GREEN coverage includes:
+  - pass-rate and trend summary calculation
+  - cost/latency formatting
+  - invalid bounds and metric rejection
+  - Admin page rendering of dashboard sections
+
+## Verification
+
+- Passed:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin test -- lib/evaluation-dashboard.test.ts app/page.test.tsx`
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin typecheck`
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin test`

+  - `cargo test --workspace`
+  - `pnpm wasm:build`
+  - `pnpm compose:config`
+  - `docker compose --profile apps config`
+  - `git diff --check`
+
+## Follow-Up
+
+- A later slice can replace static sample dashboard runs with a tenant-scoped API feed.
+- Production bad-case capture remains the next Sprint 19 item after mandatory 10-commit review.
+
+## Review Cadence
+
+- This will be implementation commit 10 after reviewed checkpoint `55f83ef`.
+- After commit and push, feature iteration must pause for the mandatory project health review.

+# Extract API Auth Utilities
+
+## Summary
+
+- Continued the R6 shared-utilities/API decomposition remediation for H1/L9 by moving auth verifier, Bearer-token, middleware, and scope helpers out of `packages/api/src/index.ts`.
+- Added a code-health guardrail so these auth responsibilities stay in `packages/api/src/auth.ts`.
+- Preserved existing public exports through `export * from "./auth"` so existing gateway tests and callers continue to import from `@knowledge/api`.
+
+## Why
+
+- `packages/api/src/index.ts` is still a high-risk god file. Auth verification and route-scope logic are cohesive enough to own in a focused module.
+- Keeping auth parsing and middleware in one module makes future JWT/OIDC/JWKS wiring easier to review without growing the gateway file further.
+
+## Verification
+

+# Extract API Cursor Utilities
+
+## Summary
+
+- Continued R6 API decomposition by moving graph entity, KnowledgeFS path, and golden question cursor codecs into `packages/api/src/cursor-utils.ts`.
+- Moved `KnowledgeFsValidationError` into the same boundary so invalid cursor handling keeps the existing validation-error `instanceof` behavior.
+- Added direct round-trip and invalid-cursor tests, including separator escaping.
+- Added a code-health guardrail so cursor codecs and the validation error do not move back into `packages/api/src/index.ts`.
+
+## Why
+
+- Cursor parsing is request-boundary logic. Keeping the codecs small and tested makes pagination behavior easier to audit and prevents accidental 500s for malformed cursors.
+- The extracted functions preserve existing string formats, so no persisted cursor contract changes.
+
+## Verification
+
+- RED: `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/cursor-utils.test.ts src/code-health.test.ts` failed because `cursor-utils.ts` did not exist.

+# Extract API Document Upload Utilities
+
+## Summary
+
+- Extracted document upload parsing, bounded bulk upload parsing, SHA-256 hashing, and document status URL construction from `packages/api/src/index.ts`.
+- Added `packages/api/src/document-upload-utils.ts` as the reusable upload boundary.
+- Added focused unit tests and a code-health guardrail to prevent upload parsing and hashing from drifting back into the gateway file.
+
+## Why
+
+- This continues the R6 remediation for `docs/code-review-issues.md`: shrink the API gateway god file, keep validation and formatting helpers testable in small modules, and preserve bounded upload behavior.
+- Upload parsing is performance-sensitive because it buffers file bodies; this boundary keeps per-file and aggregate byte limits visible and independently covered.

+# Extract API Gateway Defaults

+## Summary

+- Added direct tests for native markdown fallback behavior, fail-closed unstructured parsing, and explicit unavailable compute errors.
+- Added a code-health guardrail so default runtime factories do not move back into `packages/api/src/index.ts`.
+
+## Why
+
+- Gateway default adapters are cohesive runtime wiring, not route logic. Extracting them reduces `index.ts` responsibility while keeping local/dev fallback behavior unchanged.

+- Added a code-health guardrail so tracing middleware helpers do not move back into `packages/api/src/index.ts`.

+
+## Why

+# Extract API KnowledgeFS Path Utilities
+
+## Summary
+
+- Continued R6 API decomposition by moving KnowledgeFS path normalization, physical path parsing, by-entity/by-topic classification, topic-list validation, descendant prefix generation, and related constants into `packages/api/src/knowledge-fs-path-utils.ts`.
+- Added direct unit tests for normalization, physical view parsing, by-entity id decoding, by-topic validation, and validation-error behavior.
+- Added a code-health guardrail so KnowledgeFS path helpers stay out of `packages/api/src/index.ts`.
+
+## Why
+
+- KnowledgeFS path parsing is a request-boundary concern with security and routing implications. Keeping it in a focused module makes malformed path handling easier to review.
+- Existing path strings, semantic-view metadata, and validation error semantics are preserved.
+
+## Verification
+
+- RED: `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/knowledge-fs-path-utils.test.ts src/code-health.test.ts` failed because `knowledge-fs-path-utils.ts` did not exist.

+# Extract API OpenAPI Handler Utilities
+
+## Summary
+
+- Extracted loose OpenAPI context typing and handler cast helpers from `packages/api/src/index.ts`.
+- Added `packages/api/src/openapi-handler-utils.ts` with tests proving the helpers do not wrap or mutate runtime objects.
+- Added a code-health guardrail so OpenAPI cast helpers do not drift back into the gateway file.
+
+## Why
+
+- This continues R6 module decomposition from `docs/code-review-issues.md`.
+- Keeping these casts in a tiny module makes the Hono/OpenAPI type escape hatch explicit while preserving zero additional runtime work in route handlers.
+
+## Verification
+
+- RED: `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/openapi-handler-utils.test.ts src/code-health.test.ts` failed before `openapi-handler-utils.ts` existed.
+- GREEN focused: `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/openapi-handler-utils.test.ts src/code-health.test.ts src/gateway.test.ts`
+
+## Notes
+
+- The temporary progress documents were previously removed after iteration-plan completion, so this permanent change summary records the slice.
+- Review cadence restarted after checkpoint `f6ceb51`; this is implementation commit 4 after that checkpoint.

+# Extract API Rate Limit Boundary
+
+## Summary
+
+- Continued R6 API decomposition by moving rate limiter contracts, noop/in-memory implementations, capacity error, and rate-limit middleware into `packages/api/src/rate-limit.ts`.
+- Added direct unit tests for noop behavior, bounded per-key windows, expired-window pruning, and max-key capacity protection.
+- Added a code-health guardrail so limiter implementations and middleware do not move back into `packages/api/src/index.ts`.
+
+## Why
+
+- Rate limiting is a cohesive cross-cutting boundary with explicit memory-capacity behavior. Keeping it separate makes performance guardrails easier to inspect.
+- This removes another stateful implementation from the gateway god file while preserving the existing injected `RateLimiter` contract.
+
+## Verification
+
+- RED: `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/rate-limit.test.ts src/code-health.test.ts` failed because `rate-limit.ts` did not exist.

+
+## Risks And Follow-Up

+# Extract API Route Classification
+
+## Summary
+
+- Continued R6 API decomposition by moving trace route normalization and rate-limit tool classification into `packages/api/src/route-classification.ts`.
+- Added direct tests for high-cardinality path normalization and low-cardinality rate-limit tool names.
+- Added a code-health guardrail to keep route classification helpers out of `packages/api/src/index.ts`.
+
+## Why
+
+- Tracing and rate limiting rely on stable, low-cardinality route labels. Keeping that mapping in a focused module makes future route additions easier to review.
+- This removes another cross-cutting responsibility from the gateway god file without adding I/O, queries, or runtime state.

+# Extract API SSE Event Formatters

+- Continued R6 API decomposition by moving query and research-task SSE frame formatting from `packages/api/src/index.ts` into `packages/api/src/sse-events.ts`.
+- Added direct unit tests for answer delta/done frames, research progress frames, and common error-frame formatting.
+- Added a code-health guardrail to keep SSE formatting out of the gateway file.
+
+## Why
+

+# Extract API Storage Path Utilities
+
+## Summary
+
+- Continued R6 API decomposition by moving SourceFS path normalization, mount/object-key mapping, document object key generation, and filename sanitization into `packages/api/src/storage-path-utils.ts`.
+- Added direct unit tests for traversal rejection, SourceFS mount containment, object key mapping, and sanitized upload object keys.
+- Added a code-health guardrail so storage path helpers stay out of `packages/api/src/index.ts`.
+
+## Why
+
+- Storage path construction is security-sensitive and performance-neutral pure logic. Keeping it in a small tested module makes traversal and key isolation behavior easier to audit.

+
+## Verification

+# Failed Query Diagnostics
+
+## What Changed
+
+- Added `createFailedQueryDiagnostics()` to the Admin package.
+- Added bounded candidate ranking rows with final rank, final score, retrieval rank, rerank rank, and rerank drop explanations.
+- Added bounded filter exclusion rows with reason/source labels.
+- Added a Failed query diagnostics panel to the Admin Console.
+- Expanded the Admin coverage gate to include `lib/failed-query-diagnostics.ts`.
+
+## Why It Changed
+
+- Sprint 20 requires operators to explain failed queries by inspecting candidate ranking, filter exclusions, and rerank drops.
+- A pure Admin view-model helper keeps this diagnostic surface deterministic and avoids hidden API or database work.
+
+## Verification
+
+- RED first:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin test -- lib/failed-query-diagnostics.test.ts app/page.test.tsx` failed because the helper and UI were missing.

+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- Candidate diagnostics are capped by `maxCandidates`.
+- Filter exclusion diagnostics are capped by `maxExclusions`.
+- This slice adds no API route, database query, retrieval call, or unbounded list surface.
+
+## Known Risks And Follow-Up

+# Final Documentation
+
+## What Changed

+
+## Why It Changed

+# Generation Provider Retry Guardrails

+## What Changed
+
+- Extended `GenerateTextInput` with optional `AbortSignal` support.
+- Added generation HTTP provider retry configuration:
+  - `maxRetries`
+  - `retryDelayMs`
+  - injectable `sleep(ms)` for deterministic tests.
+- OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic-compatible generation providers now retry bounded retryable HTTP statuses (`408`, `409`, `425`, `429`, and `5xx`) before response parsing.
+- Provider fetch calls now receive the caller's `AbortSignal` for both non-streaming and streaming requests.
+
+## Why
+
+- Continues R2 from `.harness/docs/code-review-remediation-iteration-plan.md`.

+# Human Annotation Workflow
+
+## What Changed

+- Added `POST /knowledge-spaces/{id}/golden-questions/{questionId}/annotations`.
+- Added bounded annotation metadata for answer correctness and evidence relevance labels on `GoldenQuestion` records.
+- Added tenant-scoped API behavior, OpenAPI path registration, and route tracing/rate-limit tool naming.
+- Added Admin API client support for `annotateGoldenQuestion()`.
+- Added Admin BFF allowlisting for the annotation route.
+- Added a Human annotation form to the Admin Golden Questions panel.
+
+## Why It Changed
+
+- Sprint 20 requires annotators to mark answer correctness and evidence relevance so evaluation questions can accumulate human review signals.

+
+## Verification

+## Performance Notes
+
+- Each annotation performs one tenant-scoped KnowledgeSpace read, one GoldenQuestion read, and one GoldenQuestion update.
+- Evidence relevance labels are capped at 50 per annotation.
+- Retained annotation history is capped at 50 records per question.
+- No unbounded list API, N+1 database path, or repeated query waterfall was introduced.
+
+## Known Risks And Follow-Up
+

+
+## What Changed
+
+- Added `.harness/docs/code-review-remediation-iteration-plan.md` to split the remaining `docs/code-review-issues.md` findings into executable TDD iterations.
+- Reworked LLM provider SSE consumption to parse provider streams incrementally instead of reading the full response before yielding.

+- Added a regression test proving the first OpenAI-compatible stream delta is yielded before the provider response closes.
+
+## Why

+# Migration Runner And Lifecycle Closure
+
+## Summary
+
+- Started R3 from the code-review remediation plan by adding a minimal versioned migration runner and an idempotent platform close helper.
+- Kept the implementation on existing adapter contracts: no real PostgreSQL/TiDB driver wiring and no container-backed migration execution.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Added `runDatabaseMigrations()` in `@knowledge/adapters`, backed by `DatabaseAdapter.execute`.
+- Ensured `schema_migrations` is created before reading applied versions and that migrations are recorded only after their SQL succeeds.
+- Extended database execution operations with a bounded `schema` operation for migration DDL and allowed the internal `schema_migrations` lifecycle table.
+- Added `closePlatformAdapter()` in `@knowledge/core`, which calls optional component close hooks once per platform adapter instance and tolerates missing hooks.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/adapters test -- src/migration-runner.test.ts`
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/core test -- src/platform-adapter.test.ts`
+
+## Notes
+
+- The preferred platform health path remains `collectPlatformHealth()`, with component health exceptions converted to unhealthy component states.
+- Next R3 hardening can wire the runner into real runtime startup once database driver adapters exist.

+# Parser Provider Retry Guardrails
+
+## What Changed
+
+- Extended parser document inputs with optional `AbortSignal` support.
+- Added bounded retry configuration to the Unstructured parser client:
+  - `maxRetries`
+  - `retryDelayMs`
+  - injectable `sleep(ms)`.
+- The Unstructured client now rebuilds multipart `FormData` and `Request` on every retry attempt.
+- Retryable statuses are bounded to `408`, `409`, `425`, `429`, and `5xx`.
+
+## Why
+
+- Completes the retry/abort provider reliability portion of R2 for parser IO.
+- Avoids reusing consumed multipart request bodies while still supporting retries for transient provider failures.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/parsers test -- src/parser.test.ts`
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/parsers test:coverage`
+- `pnpm typecheck`
+- `pnpm lint`
+- `git diff --check`
+
+## Known Risks / Follow-Up
+
+- R2 still needs structured provider error classes so callers can distinguish retry exhaustion, rate limits, validation, and malformed provider payloads programmatically.

+# Production Bad-Case Capture
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added Phase 6 Sprint 19 production bad-case capture.
+- A failed production query can now be captured from an authenticated AnswerTrace and queued into the golden-question evaluation review flow.
+- Added Admin Console affordances and BFF/client wiring for the capture route.
+
+## What Changed
+
+- Added `POST /knowledge-spaces/{id}/production-bad-cases`.
+  - Requires `knowledge-spaces:write` through the existing protected route middleware.
+  - Reads tenant identity from the authenticated subject.
+  - Loads the AnswerTrace tenant-safely and rejects cross-tenant or missing traces with `404`.
+  - Creates a `GoldenQuestion` tagged `production-bad-case` and `needs-review`.
+- Added bounded evidence context metadata:
+  - Stores trace id, optional reason, state, item counts, missing-evidence counts, and bounded item summaries.
+  - Captures node ids, scores, citation counts, conflict counts, and freshness status.
+  - Avoids storing raw JWTs, object bodies, and unbounded evidence payloads.
+- Extended Admin:
+  - Added `captureProductionBadCase()` to the thin Admin API client.
+  - Allowlisted the route in the Admin BFF proxy.
+  - Added an Evaluation Dashboard form for trace id, reason, tags, and “Add to eval queue”.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- The API performs one tenant-scoped trace lookup and one golden-question create; it does not introduce list queries or query waterfalls.
+- Evidence context stored in metadata is bounded to 20 evidence items and 20 missing-evidence entries.
+- The resulting evaluation queue continues to use the existing bounded and paginated `GoldenQuestionRepository`.
+
+## TDD / RED
+
+- Added failing API tests for OpenAPI route presence, unauthenticated/forbidden access, tenant-scoped trace capture, cross-tenant hiding, and missing traces.
+- Added failing Admin tests for client method, BFF allowlist, and rendered UI.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Focused verification passed:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/gateway.test.ts`
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin test -- lib/api-client.test.ts lib/bff.test.ts app/page.test.tsx`
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test:coverage`
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin test:coverage`
+- Full verification before commit:
+  - `pnpm check`
+  - `pnpm build`
+  - `pnpm lint`
+  - `cargo test --workspace`
+  - `pnpm wasm:build`
+  - `pnpm compose:config`
+  - `docker compose --profile apps config`
+  - `git diff --check`
+
+## Known Risks And Follow-Up
+
+- Bad-case capture currently queues a reviewable golden question; richer annotation workflows belong to Sprint 20.
+- Database-specific persisted bad-case tables are intentionally deferred because the current evaluation queue source of truth is `golden_questions`.
+
+## Cadence
+
+- This will be implementation commit 1 after reviewed checkpoint `7733961`.
+- The next 10-commit review is not yet due.

+# Retrieval Studio Comparison UI
+
+## What Changed
+
+- Added `createRetrievalStudioComparison()` to the Admin package.
+- Added bounded side-by-side strategy columns for candidate score, rerank score, source labels, evidence state, recall, latency, and evidence bundle status.
+- Added deterministic winner selection for two retrieval strategies using recall, average shown candidate score, and latency tie-breaking.
+- Added the Retrieval Studio panel to the Admin Console and linked it from navigation.
+- Expanded the Admin coverage gate to include the new Retrieval Studio view-model helper.
+
+## Why It Changed
+
+- Sprint 20 requires a Retrieval Studio surface that lets operators compare baseline and challenger retrieval strategies side by side.
+- Keeping the comparison as a bounded pure helper makes the UI deterministic, testable, and free of hidden runtime query work.
+
+## Verification
+
+- RED first:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin test -- lib/retrieval-studio.test.ts` failed because `./retrieval-studio` did not exist.
+- Focused verification passed:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin test -- lib/retrieval-studio.test.ts`
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin test -- lib/retrieval-studio.test.ts app/page.test.tsx`
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin test:coverage`
+- Full verification passed:

+  - `pnpm build`
+  - `pnpm lint`
+  - `cargo test --workspace`
+  - `pnpm wasm:build`
+  - `pnpm compose:config`
+  - `docker compose --profile apps config`
+  - `git diff --check`
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- Candidate rendering is capped by `maxCandidates`.
+- This slice adds no database, retrieval runtime, or API route execution path.
+- No unbounded list API, N+1 database query path, or repeated database waterfall was introduced.
+
+## Known Risks And Follow-Up
+
+- The current Admin panel uses static comparison data; live retrieval strategy selection and trace-backed comparison can be wired in the subsequent Sprint 20 slices.

+# 10-Commit Health Review: 2628054
+
+## Summary
+
+- Completed the mandatory health review after 10 implementation commits following checkpoint `754942f`.
+- Reviewed commits:
+  - `cf96d58` Extract API auth utilities
+  - `019e01d` Extract API SSE event formatters
+  - `0524f45` Extract API job payload utilities
+  - `819d491` Extract API route classification
+  - `8ea2788` Extract API HTTP tracing helpers
+  - `60ad595` Extract API rate limit boundary
+  - `61db659` Extract API gateway defaults
+  - `4f1601c` Extract API storage path utilities
+  - `4a38e77` Extract API cursor utilities
+  - `2628054` Extract API KnowledgeFS path utilities
+
+## Findings
+
+- No high-severity correctness, performance, or test-coverage issues were found in the 10 committed slices.
+- One boundary-health issue was found and fixed during review: `KnowledgeFsValidationError` lived in `cursor-utils.ts`, but it is shared by cursor codecs, KnowledgeFS path parsing, and gateway error handling. It now lives in `knowledge-fs-errors.ts`, with a code-health guardrail preventing it from being placed in a feature-specific utility module.
+
+## Health Notes
+
+- Technical direction remains aligned with R6: `packages/api/src/index.ts` is shrinking while extracted modules stay cohesive and directly tested.
+- Performance posture is unchanged or improved: the extracted helpers are pure or bounded, rate limiting remains capped by `maxKeys`, and no new database access paths or N+1 behavior were introduced.
+- Test coverage remains above the project requirement; the latest API coverage gate reported `95.36%` statements/lines.
+- Traceability is complete: each implementation slice has a dedicated `.harness/changes` entry and the remediation plan was updated after each slice.
+
+## Verification
+
+- RED: `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/code-health.test.ts` failed because `knowledge-fs-errors.ts` did not exist.
+- GREEN: `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/code-health.test.ts src/cursor-utils.test.ts src/knowledge-fs-path-utils.test.ts src/gateway.test.ts`

+- `docker compose --profile apps config`
+- `git diff --check`
+
+## Review Cadence
+
+- This review closes the cadence ending at checkpoint `2628054`.
+- The next 10-commit cadence starts from the review remediation commit created for this file and the shared error-boundary fix.

+# Review Checkpoint 55f83ef Admin Coverage Gate
+
+## Summary
+
+- Completed the required 10-commit project health review after checkpoint `55f83ef`.
+- Reviewed commits from `e4e5be6` through `ef0e473`, covering backpressure/research workflow work and Phase 6 evaluation UI/metrics work.
+- Found one project-health issue: the Admin package now contains behavioral dashboard summarization code, but it did not expose a `test:coverage` package script, so root `pnpm check` did not enforce Admin coverage.
+
+## What Changed
+
+- Added `@knowledge/admin` `test:coverage` script so Turbo includes Admin coverage in the root coverage/check pipeline.
+- Added `apps/admin/vitest.config.ts` with focused 90%+ coverage thresholds for `lib/evaluation-dashboard.ts`.
+- Expanded `apps/admin/lib/evaluation-dashboard.test.ts` to cover validation branches and empty dashboard state, bringing the dashboard summarizer to 100% coverage under the new gate.
+
+## Why
+
+- The project requires coverage gates at or above 90% for behavioral packages.
+- The evaluation dashboard commit added bounded summary logic that should fail CI if it regresses.
+- A focused gate keeps the newly introduced behavior protected while avoiding unrelated legacy Admin coverage debt from blocking this review remediation.
+
+## Performance And Architecture Review
+
+- The reviewed feature direction still follows `.harness` architecture: Next.js owns Admin UI, Hono/API packages own gateway behavior, and compute/provider boundaries remain package-isolated.
+- No new N+1 database paths or unbounded list APIs were introduced by the dashboard slice; the dashboard summarizer remains bounded by `maxRuns` and `maxTrendPoints`.
+- Reviewed retrieval/generation/evaluation additions retained explicit limits for judge batches, proposal counts, queue transitions, and SSE/progress payloads.
+
+## Verification
+
+- RED/review reproduction:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin test:coverage` exposed the missing/insufficient Admin coverage gate for dashboard behavior.
+- Focused verification:
+  - `pnpm exec biome check --write apps/admin/package.json apps/admin/vitest.config.ts apps/admin/lib/evaluation-dashboard.test.ts`
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin test:coverage`
+- Full verification before commit:
+  - `pnpm check`
+  - `pnpm build`
+  - `pnpm lint`
+  - `cargo test --workspace`
+  - `pnpm wasm:build`
+  - `pnpm compose:config`
+  - `docker compose --profile apps config`
+  - `git diff --check`
+
+## Known Risks And Follow-Up
+
+- Admin legacy modules such as API client and BFF helpers still need broader coverage expansion in a future hardening slice.
+- This remediation intentionally gates the new evaluation dashboard behavior first, because it is the behavior added in the reviewed commit range.
+
+## Cadence
+
+- Reviewed checkpoint: `55f83ef`.
+- Reviewed implementation commits: 10.
+- Remediation commit: `7733961`.
+- Latest reviewed checkpoint after remediation: `7733961`.

+# 10-Commit Health Review: 9622b1e
+
+## Summary
+
+- Completed the mandatory 10-implementation-commit health review after reviewed checkpoint `7733961`.
+- Reviewed implementation commits from `bb98045` through `9622b1e`, covering production bad-case capture, retrieval strategy comparison UI, Retrieval Studio UI, human annotation, trace comparison, failed-query diagnostics, CI regression blocking, final documentation, temporary planning cleanup, and the WASM build release-fetch fix.
+- Found one process documentation drift: temporary task/progress documents were intentionally deleted after project completion, but `.harness/agents/development-requirements.md` still required every future round to carry them.
+
+## What Changed
+
+- Updated `.harness/agents/development-requirements.md` so temporary task/progress documents are required while they exist.
+- Clarified that after intentional project-completion cleanup, ongoing maintenance should use `.harness/docs/iteration-plan.md`, `.harness/changes`, and the agent requirements file instead of recreating temporary docs.
+- Clarified that future review checkpoints and skipped-verification notes should be recorded in `.harness/changes` when temporary progress docs are no longer present.
+
+## Project Health Findings
+
+- Technical direction still follows `.harness` architecture: API behavior remains in packages, Admin behavior remains in the Next.js app, and the WASM build gate stays isolated to the Rust compute crate plus a root build script.
+- No new database N+1 paths, missing-index risks, or unbounded list APIs were found in this review pass.
+- Recent Admin and API slices retained bounded in-memory summaries, explicit limits, and coverage gates above the 90% project threshold.
+- The WASM build issue is now addressed by removing `wasm-pack` from the active build path and lockfile, avoiding the GitHub Actions release-fetch failure mode.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Review scans:
+  - `git log --oneline 7733961..HEAD`
+  - `rg` scans for `wasm-pack`, review cadence, performance guardrail, and `.harness/changes` coverage.
+  - lockfile assertion confirming no active `wasm-pack` package entry remains.
+- Full verification already passed at reviewed checkpoint `9622b1e`:
+  - `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
+  - `pnpm check`
+  - `pnpm build`
+  - `pnpm lint`
+  - `cargo test --workspace`

+# Review Checkpoint d3d164e Stable JSON Fix
+
+## Summary
+
+- Performed the mandatory project health review after the current 10-commit remediation cadence reached `d3d164e`.
+- Reviewed technical direction, performance boundaries, coverage/CI health, and `.harness/changes` coverage for the recent code-review remediation slices.
+- Found and fixed one issue introduced while centralizing `stableJson`.
+
+## Finding
+
+- `stableJson` inherited the old package-local array behavior where `undefined` array entries rendered as empty slots, for example `[,null]`, which is not valid JSON-like canonical output.
+- Top-level non-JSON values such as `undefined` or functions could also violate the function's `string` return contract.
+
+## Fix
+
+- `stableJson(undefined)` and other non-JSON primitive/function values now render as `"null"`.
+- `undefined` array entries now render as `null`.
+- Object properties with `undefined` values continue to be omitted, preserving the intended cache-key canonicalization semantics.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/core test -- src/json-utils.test.ts`

+# Structured Provider Errors
+
+## Summary
+
+- Completed the R2 provider reliability boundary from `docs/code-review-issues.md` by adding explicit provider error classes to generation, embeddings/rerankers, and parser clients.
+- Preserved existing bounded input/response behavior while making validation, rate-limit, request, and malformed-response failures distinguishable by callers.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Added exported `ProviderError`, `ProviderInputError`, `ProviderRateLimitError`, `ProviderRequestError`, and `ProviderResponseError` boundaries to provider packages.
+- Classified HTTP 429 failures as rate-limit errors and other failed provider statuses as request errors.
+- Classified invalid JSON, invalid provider payloads, bad vector dimensions, and oversized provider responses as response errors.
+- Classified bounded input and provider runtime option violations as input errors.
+- Added regression assertions across generation, embedding/reranker, and Unstructured parser tests.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/generation test -- src/generation.test.ts`
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/embeddings test -- src/embedding.test.ts`
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/parsers test -- src/parser.test.ts`
+
+## Notes
+
+- This closes the structured-error portion of R2. The remaining code-review remediation queue continues with R3: migration runner and lifecycle closure.

+# Trace Comparison UI
+
+## What Changed
+
+- Added `createTraceComparison()` to the Admin package.
+- Added bounded side-by-side trace comparison for route, recall candidates, filters, rerank settings, evidence citation counts, and step count.
+- Added delta summaries for recall, citations, routes, rerank changes, and filter changes.
+- Added a Trace comparison panel to the Admin Console.
+- Expanded the Admin coverage gate to include `lib/trace-comparison.ts`.
+
+## Why It Changed
+
+- Sprint 20 requires operators to compare two query traces for recall, rerank, and evidence differences.
+- Keeping the comparison as a bounded pure helper makes trace diffs deterministic and avoids adding unplanned API/database paths.
+
+## Verification
+
+- RED first:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin test -- lib/trace-comparison.test.ts app/page.test.tsx` failed because the helper and UI were missing.
+- Focused verification passed:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin test -- lib/trace-comparison.test.ts app/page.test.tsx`
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin test:coverage`
+- Full verification passed:

+  - `cargo test --workspace`
+  - `pnpm wasm:build`
+  - `pnpm compose:config`
+  - `docker compose --profile apps config`
+  - `git diff --check`
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- Each trace is capped by `maxSteps`.
+- Nested trace attributes are ignored in comparison labels to avoid retaining bulky metadata in the Admin view model.
+- This slice adds no API route, database query path, or retrieval runtime call.
+
+## Known Risks And Follow-Up
+
+- The current UI uses static sample traces. A later wiring slice can source live trace pairs from the existing trace API without changing the comparison helper contract.

+# WASM Build And Diff Guardrails
+
+## Summary
+
+- Completed R5 from the code-review remediation plan by hardening WASM build reproducibility and text diff matrix bounds.
+- Kept `wasm-opt` optional for local and CI environments while making its use explicit and testable.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Exported testable WASM build helper functions for locked Cargo arguments and optional optimizer planning.
+- Added `wasm:build:test` and included it in `pnpm check`.
+- Added optional `wasm-opt -Oz` execution when `wasm-opt` is available; otherwise the build emits an explicit warning and continues.
+- Added Rust and TypeScript guardrails so `maxTokens` must fit inside `maxDiffCells` before LCS matrix allocation is possible.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm wasm:build:test`
+- `cargo test --workspace rejects_oversized_or_unbounded_diff_inputs`
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/compute test -- src/compute.test.ts`
+
+## Notes
+
+- `cargo build` remains pinned with `--locked`.
+- Default diff `maxTokens` now derives from the configured cell budget when callers do not provide an explicit token cap.

+# WASM Pack CI Release Fetch Fix
+
+## What Changed
+
+- Replaced the root `wasm:build` path with a local Node build script that runs:
+  - `cargo build --manifest-path crates/knowledge_compute/Cargo.toml --target wasm32-unknown-unknown --release`
+  - `wasm-bindgen target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/release/knowledge_compute.wasm --target bundler --out-dir crates/knowledge_compute/pkg`
+- Removed the root `wasm-pack` dev dependency and updated `pnpm-lock.yaml`.
+- Updated README WASM notes to describe the `cargo build` plus pinned `wasm-bindgen` path.
+
+## Why It Changed
+
+GitHub Actions still failed with `Error fetching release: Request failed with status code 404` after `wasm-bindgen-cli 0.2.121` was installed. The remaining network fetch came from invoking `wasm-pack`, so the stable fix is to avoid `wasm-pack` entirely in the CI build gate.
+
+## Verification
+
+- RED first:
+  - `node -e 'const pkg=require("./package.json"); if ((pkg.scripts["wasm:build"]||"").includes("wasm-pack")) { throw new Error("wasm:build must not invoke wasm-pack"); }'` failed because `wasm:build` still invoked `wasm-pack`.
+- GREEN:
+  - The same script-level assertion now passes and also confirms `wasm-pack` is no longer a dev dependency.
+  - `pnpm wasm:build` passes locally through the new no-`wasm-pack` path.
+- Full verification:
+  - `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
+  - `pnpm check`
+  - `pnpm build`
+  - `pnpm lint`
+  - `cargo test --workspace`
+  - `pnpm wasm:build`
+  - `pnpm compose:config`
+  - `docker compose --profile apps config`
+  - `git diff --check`
+
+## Performance And Reliability Notes
+
+- This keeps the pinned `wasm-bindgen-cli` install path but removes `wasm-pack`'s release-fetch behavior from CI.
+- The generated `crates/knowledge_compute/pkg` remains a build artifact and is not committed.

+- Extracted agent workspace snapshot request/response, replay, params, and MCP workspace snapshot Zod/OpenAPI schemas from `packages/api/src/index.ts` into `packages/api/src/agent-workspace-snapshot-schemas.ts`.
+- Kept root API exports compatible through `packages/api/src/index.ts`.
+- Added a code-health guardrail preventing these schemas from drifting back into the gateway.
+
+## Why
+
+- Continues R6 API decomposition after review checkpoint `5fcec6c`.
+- Creates a shared schema boundary for HTTP routes and future `createKnowledgeMcpServer` extraction without requiring the MCP module to import from the gateway.
+
+## TDD
+
+- RED: added a code-health guardrail first; it failed because `agent-workspace-snapshot-schemas.ts` did not exist.
+- GREEN: moved the schemas, re-exported the module, and reran focused code-health, MCP, gateway, and snapshot tests.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- Schema-only extraction; request bounds, response shapes, MCP workspace snapshot validation, and route behavior are unchanged.
+- No database, object storage, queue, or retrieval execution path was changed.

+# Extract API Answer Trace Recorder
+

+
+- Continued R6 API decomposition by moving AnswerTrace recorder input types, options, max-step validation, trace assembly, and defensive return clone into `packages/api/src/answer-trace-recorder.ts`.

+- Kept root API exports compatible through `packages/api/src/index.ts`.
+- Added a code-health guardrail preventing contextual enrichment flow logic from drifting back into the gateway.

+- GREEN: moved the contextual enrichment implementation, re-exported it, and reran focused contextual/code-health tests.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- Runtime behavior is unchanged: enrichment loads requested nodes in one `getMany`, writes metadata in one `updateMetadataMany`, enforces `maxBatchSize`, and skips existing or low-quality nodes.
+- Cache reads/writes remain bounded by `64 KiB`; oversized or corrupt cache entries are ignored.

+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- This slice is schema-only and introduces no I/O, database access, queue work, cache access, or provider calls.

+- Reused the focused entity/relation metadata parsing helpers from `entity-extraction-flow.ts` and `relation-extraction-flow.ts`, avoiding a dependency back into the gateway.
+- Added a code-health guardrail preventing extraction quality control logic from drifting back into the gateway god file.
+
+## TDD
+
+- RED: added a code-health guardrail first; it failed because `extraction-quality-control-flow.ts` did not exist.
+- GREEN: moved the implementation, re-exported it, and reran focused contextual/code-health tests plus API typecheck and lint.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- The flow keeps the existing bounded `maxBatchSize`, `maxEligibleEntitiesPerNode`, and `maxEligibleRelationsPerNode` validation.
+- Repository access remains one `getMany` plus one `updateMetadataMany` per quality-control batch.
+- Eligibility checks are in-memory over already-loaded per-node extracted entity/relation metadata; no new database queries, unbounded reads, or long-lived caches were introduced.

+# Extract API Gateway SSE Responses
+
+## Summary
+
+- Extracted query generation and research task progress SSE response builders from `packages/api/src/index.ts` into `packages/api/src/gateway-sse-responses.ts`.
+- Moved `QueryGenerator` and query generation input/event contracts with the streaming boundary.
+- Kept root API exports compatible through `packages/api/src/index.ts`.
+- Added a code-health guardrail preventing SSE response builders from drifting back into the gateway.
+
+## Why
+
+- Continues R6 code review remediation by separating streaming response construction from route registration.
+- Keeps SSE framing helpers and stream lifecycle logic in a small module that does not depend on the gateway entrypoint.
+
+## TDD
+
+- RED: added a code-health guardrail first; it failed because `gateway-sse-responses.ts` did not exist.
+- GREEN: extracted query/progress SSE builders and contracts, then reran focused gateway/code-health tests.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- Preserved streaming behavior without buffering generated answer chunks or progress events.
+- Research task progress streaming remains bounded by the requested `limit`; backlog is sent first and live subscription stops after the same limit.
+- No new database or object storage calls were introduced.

+# Extract API Golden Question Repository
+
+## Summary
+
+- Continued R6 API decomposition by moving `GoldenQuestionRepository`, bounded in-memory storage, database-backed SQL wiring, row mapping, clone helper, and capacity/list-limit errors out of `packages/api/src/index.ts`.
+- Kept the public API stable by re-exporting the new module from `@knowledge/api`.
+- Added a code-health guardrail so the golden question repository implementation cannot silently drift back into the gateway file.
+
+## TDD
+
+- RED: `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/golden-question-repository.test.ts src/code-health.test.ts` failed because `golden-question-repository.ts` did not exist.

+# Extract API Graph Index Repository
+
+## Summary
+
+- Extracted graph index repository contracts, bounded in-memory implementation, database-backed implementation, traversal SQL, clone helpers, and traversal validation from `packages/api/src/index.ts` into `packages/api/src/graph-index-repository.ts`.
+- Extracted graph extraction union types into `packages/api/src/extraction-types.ts` so the new repository module does not depend back on the gateway aggregation file.
+- Added a code-health guardrail that keeps graph repository implementations out of `index.ts` and prevents the new module from importing `./index`.
+
+## Why
+
+- Continues R6 API module decomposition from `docs/code-review-issues.md`.
+- Keeps the gateway closer to a composition and route wiring surface instead of retaining repository SQL and traversal logic.
+- Reduces `packages/api/src/index.ts` from 15,507 to 14,311 lines while preserving graph traversal, pruning, upsert, and retrieval expansion behavior.
+
+## TDD
+
+- RED: `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/code-health.test.ts` failed because `graph-index-repository.ts` did not exist.
+- GREEN: moved the implementation, fixed the traversal comparator import, and reran focused graph/index/summary coverage.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- Preserved existing explicit graph traversal budgets: `maxDepth`, `fanout`, `maxNodes`, `timeoutMs`, and database `maxRows`.
+- Preserved tenant-scoped graph list/traversal/prune filters and parameterized SQL.
+- In-memory graph repositories remain bounded by explicit `maxEntities`, `maxRelations`, and `maxBatchSize`.

+# Extract API Graph Index Writer
+
+## Summary
+
+- Extracted graph index writer contracts, metadata entity/relation extraction, graph eligibility parsing, and deterministic graph id generation from `packages/api/src/index.ts` into `packages/api/src/graph-index-writer.ts`.
+- Moved graph extraction type sets into `packages/api/src/extraction-types.ts` so validation and writer code share one source of truth.
+- Added a code-health guardrail that keeps graph writer and metadata extraction helpers out of the gateway file and prevents the writer module from importing `./index`.
+
+## Why
+
+- Continues R6 API decomposition after the graph repository extraction.
+- Keeps graph indexing orchestration near graph repository contracts instead of inside the Hono gateway composition file.
+- Further reduces `packages/api/src/index.ts`, while preserving the existing graph indexing tests and summary-tree graph expansion behavior.
+
+## TDD
+
+- RED: `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/code-health.test.ts` failed because `graph-index-writer.ts` did not exist.
+- GREEN: extracted the writer and metadata helpers, added the missing deterministic id helper locally, removed duplicate extraction type constants, and reran focused tests.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- Preserved one batched `nodes.getMany` call for graph indexing to avoid per-node repository reads.
+- Preserved `maxBatchSize`, per-node metadata validation, and bounded graph writer output through repository batch limits.
+- No new database round trips, unbounded list APIs, or object buffering paths were introduced.

+## Summary
+
+- Extracted graph traversal response schemas and response mappers from `packages/api/src/index.ts` into `packages/api/src/graph-traversal-responses.ts`.
+- Re-exported the new graph traversal response module from the API package root.
+- Added a code-health guardrail preventing traversal response schemas and mappers from drifting back into the gateway god file.
+

+- GREEN: moved the schemas/mappers, re-exported the module, and reran focused graph/code-health tests plus API typecheck.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- The extraction is pure response mapping and introduces no I/O, database reads, cache access, or queue work.
+- Response mapping keeps clone isolation for arrays and metadata through `cloneJsonObject`.
+- Traversal bounds remain enforced by the existing graph traversal repository and route input limits; this slice does not add an unbounded path.

+# Extract API Hybrid Retrieval
+
+## Summary
+
+- Extracted database-backed hybrid retrieval SQL execution into `packages/api/src/hybrid-retrieval.ts`.
+- Extracted basic hybrid retriever orchestration, degradation handling, metadata filtering, permission filtering, fusion, and reranking into the same focused module.
+- Kept root API exports compatible through `packages/api/src/index.ts`.
+- Added a code-health guardrail preventing hybrid retrieval implementation from drifting back into the gateway.
+
+## Why
+
+- Continues R6 code review remediation by shrinking the API gateway god file and isolating retrieval execution from route construction.
+- Keeps SQL retrieval behavior and retrieval orchestration testable without importing gateway internals.
+
+## TDD
+
+- RED: added a code-health guardrail first; it failed because `hybrid-retrieval.ts` did not exist.
+- GREEN: moved the repository/retriever implementation and private SQL/timing helpers, then reran focused gateway tests.
+- Fixed one behavior regression caught by tests: the no-planner path must continue to use `defaultRetrievalPlan` instead of constructing a configured planner.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- Preserved explicit `maxTopK`, `maxRows`, and query-vector validation before database execution.
+- Kept SQL parameterized; user query and vectors remain in params instead of SQL string interpolation.
+- Preserved parallel dense/FTS execution, in-memory metadata/permission filtering, bounded fusion, and bounded reranking candidate limits.

+# Extract API Knowledge MCP Types
+
+## Summary
+
+- Extracted Knowledge MCP tool names, input/output contracts, server options, server interface, and tool summary lists from `packages/api/src/index.ts` into `packages/api/src/knowledge-mcp-types.ts`.
+- Kept root API exports compatible through `packages/api/src/index.ts`.
+- Added a code-health guardrail preventing MCP contracts and tool summary constants from drifting back into the gateway.
+
+## Why
+
+- Continues R6 API decomposition after review checkpoint `5fcec6c`.
+- Separates MCP public contracts from gateway route composition and prepares a cleaner follow-up extraction for `createKnowledgeMcpServer`.
+
+## TDD
+
+- RED: added a code-health guardrail first; it failed because `knowledge-mcp-types.ts` did not exist.
+- GREEN: moved the MCP contracts/tool summaries, re-exported the module, and reran focused MCP/gateway/code-health tests.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- Type and constant extraction only; MCP handler behavior, input bounds, list limits, topK limits, and tool registration behavior are unchanged.
+- No database, object storage, queue, or retrieval execution path was changed.
+
+## Verification

+# Extract API Retrieval Cache
+
+## Summary
+
+- Extracted query normalization cache and EvidenceBundle cache contracts/implementations from `packages/api/src/index.ts` into `packages/api/src/retrieval-cache.ts`.
+- Extracted retrieval metadata filter normalization into `packages/api/src/retrieval-filter-utils.ts`.
+- Added a code-health guardrail that keeps cache and filter normalization logic out of the gateway file.
+
+## Why
+
+- Continues R6 API decomposition after retrieval planner extraction.
+- Keeps cache key normalization, digest construction, TTL validation, and clone-isolated EvidenceBundle storage in focused modules.
+- Allows hybrid retrieval and SQL candidate search to share one filter normalization utility without a gateway dependency.
+
+## TDD
+
+- RED: `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/code-health.test.ts` failed because `retrieval-cache.ts` did not exist.
+- GREEN: extracted cache/filter logic and reran code-health plus gateway cache coverage.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- Cache keys remain SHA-256 digests and do not include raw query text.
+- Query byte limits and TTL validation are preserved.
+- Filter normalization deduplicates values once before SQL/cache use and does not add database round trips.
+
+## Verification

+# Extract API Retrieval Candidates
+
+## Summary
+
+- Extracted retrieval candidate contracts, database row mapping, metadata filtering, permission filtering, and clone helpers from `packages/api/src/index.ts` into `packages/api/src/retrieval-candidates.ts`.
+- Kept SQL retrieval and RRF/rerank orchestration unchanged in `index.ts`.
+- Added a code-health guardrail to prevent candidate helper logic from drifting back into the gateway file.
+
+## TDD
+
+- RED: added direct `retrieval-candidates` tests and a code-health guard, which failed because `retrieval-candidates.ts` did not exist.
+- GREEN: implemented the module and covered DB row mapping, metadata filters, permission filters, invalid permission scopes, and clone isolation.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/retrieval-candidates.test.ts src/code-health.test.ts`
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test:coverage -- src/retrieval-candidates.test.ts`
+
+## Coverage
+
+- `retrieval-candidates.ts`: 96.95% statements, 85% branches, 100% functions.
+
+## Review Cadence
+
+- This is implementation commit 5 after review checkpoint `51b0582`.
+- Next mandatory 10-commit health review is due after 5 more implementation commits.

+# Extract API Retrieval Evaluation Reports
+
+## Summary
+
+- Extracted retrieval evaluation report assembly, empty report factories, clone helpers, and metric delta helpers from `packages/api/src/index.ts` into `packages/api/src/retrieval-evaluation-reports.ts`.
+- Kept evaluation runners and judge integration in the gateway file while moving report pure functions behind a direct unit-tested boundary.
+- Added a code-health guardrail to prevent report helpers from drifting back into the gateway god file.
+
+## TDD
+
+- RED: added direct `retrieval-evaluation-reports` tests and code-health guard, which failed before `retrieval-evaluation-reports.ts` existed.

+# Extract API Retrieval Evaluation Runners
+
+## Summary
+
+- Extracted retrieval evaluation runner implementations from `packages/api/src/index.ts` into `packages/api/src/retrieval-evaluation-runners.ts`.
+- Moved advanced judge input validation, strategy comparison, A/B comparison, impact evaluation, and candidate-to-result helper logic with the runners.
+- Kept root API exports compatible through `packages/api/src/index.ts`.
+- Added a code-health guardrail preventing retrieval evaluation runners from drifting back into the gateway.
+
+## Why
+
+- Continues R6 code review remediation by separating evaluation orchestration from gateway route construction.
+- Keeps bounded retrieval evaluation logic directly testable and easier to review for performance regressions.
+
+## TDD
+
+- RED: added a code-health guardrail first; it failed because `retrieval-evaluation-runners.ts` did not exist.
+- GREEN: extracted runner contracts, implementations, and helper functions, then reran focused gateway/code-health tests.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- Preserved bounded `maxQuestions`, `maxTopK`, `limit`, and advanced judge context byte checks.
+- Kept per-question retrievals batched with `Promise.all`, matching previous behavior without adding N+1 database calls beyond the existing explicit retrieval calls.
+- Preserved validation that embedding providers return exactly one dense vector per question.
+

+# Extract API Retrieval Paths
+
+## Summary
+
+- Extracted summary-tree, table-specific, image/OCR, and graph-expanded retrieval path builders from `packages/api/src/index.ts` into `packages/api/src/retrieval-paths.ts`.
+- Extracted shared hybrid retrieval input/result/metric/plan types into `packages/api/src/retrieval-types.ts`.
+- Added a code-health guardrail that keeps retrieval path builders out of the gateway file and prevents `retrieval-paths.ts` from importing `./index`.
+
+## Why
+
+- Continues R6 API decomposition after summary-tree builder extraction.
+- Keeps retrieval path fanout, merge, filter, and graph-expansion logic in a focused module with existing direct path behavior tests.
+- Preserves root exports so existing callers can keep importing from `@knowledge/api`.
+
+## TDD
+
+- RED: `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/code-health.test.ts` failed because `retrieval-paths.ts` did not exist.
+- GREEN: extracted retrieval path builders and shared retrieval types, then reran code-health and summary-tree retrieval path tests.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- Preserved bounded topK/limit caps for summary, table, image, and graph expansion legs.
+- Preserved graph traversal bounds: seed entity cap, max depth, fanout, max traversal nodes, and timeout.
+- Preserved clone isolation for merged retrieval items and metadata while avoiding any new database reads.

+## Summary
+
+- Extracted retrieval planner contracts, auto-mode resolution, bounded fanout plan assembly, trace attributes, and default fast-plan fallback from `packages/api/src/index.ts` into `packages/api/src/retrieval-planner.ts`.
+- Added a code-health guardrail that keeps retrieval planner logic out of the gateway file and prevents `retrieval-planner.ts` from importing `./index`.
+- Kept root exports compatible through `export * from "./retrieval-planner"`.
+
+## Why
+
+- Continues R6 API decomposition after retrieval path extraction.
+- Keeps routing/handler composition separate from retrieval planning heuristics and trace emission.
+- Preserves planner behavior used by hybrid retrieval and gateway defaults without changing retrieval fanout.
+
+## TDD
+
+- RED: `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/code-health.test.ts` failed because `retrieval-planner.ts` did not exist.
+- GREEN: extracted retrieval planner logic and reran code-health plus gateway retrieval planner coverage.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- Preserved explicit `maxTopK` validation and bounded dense/FTS/fusion fanout.

+# Extract API Shared Utilities
+
+## Summary
+
+- Extracted shared gateway utility helpers from `packages/api/src/index.ts` into `packages/api/src/api-shared-utils.ts`.
+- Re-exported the new utility module from the API package root.
+- Added direct utility coverage and a code-health guardrail preventing deterministic-id, evidence clone, text diff clone, and string dedupe helpers from drifting back into the gateway god file.
+
+## TDD
+
+- RED: added `api-shared-utils.test.ts` and a code-health guardrail first; they failed because `api-shared-utils.ts` did not exist.
+- GREEN: moved the helper implementations, imported them from the gateway, re-exported the module, fixed strict test access, and reran focused tests plus API typecheck and lint.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- `deterministicChildId` remains a pure SHA-256 UUID-v5-style derivation with no runtime randomness or I/O.
+- `uniqueStrings` preserves the previous insertion-order `Set` behavior and does not add sorting or extra passes.
+- Clone helpers keep existing clone-isolation semantics for external response/cache boundaries and introduce no database, network, cache, or queue work.

+# Extract API Summary Tree Builders
+
+## Summary
+
+- Extracted summary tree builder contracts, maintenance flow, validation helpers, prompt assembly, deterministic summary ids, and summary node generation from `packages/api/src/index.ts` into `packages/api/src/summary-tree.ts`.
+- Added a code-health guardrail that keeps summary tree builder implementations out of the gateway file and prevents the new module from importing `./index`.
+
+## Why
+
+- Continues R6 API decomposition after graph index extraction.
+- Keeps summary generation workflow code close to its tests and away from route/composition concerns.
+- Leaves summary-tree retrieval path filters in `index.ts` for now because they sit directly on hybrid retrieval route/runtime types.
+
+## TDD
+
+- RED: `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/code-health.test.ts` failed because `summary-tree.ts` did not exist.
+- GREEN: extracted summary tree builder and maintenance logic and reran focused summary-tree tests.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- Preserved batched `nodes.getMany` reads for leaf and reusable summary nodes.
+- Preserved explicit `maxLeafNodes`, `maxChangedLeafNodes`, `maxSections`, `maxSummaryNodes`, `maxInputChars`, and `maxSummaryChars` guards.
+- No new database round trips or unbounded accumulation paths were introduced.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/code-health.test.ts src/summary-tree.test.ts`

+# Extract API Topic View Materializer
+
+## Summary
+
+- Extracted semantic topic cluster contracts, topic-view materialization input/result contracts, enqueue/process orchestration, path construction, and validation from `packages/api/src/index.ts` into `packages/api/src/topic-view-materializer.ts`.
+- Re-exported the new topic view materializer module from the API package root.
+- Added a code-health guardrail preventing topic view materializer logic from drifting back into the gateway god file.
+
+## TDD
+
+- RED: added a code-health guardrail first; it failed because `topic-view-materializer.ts` did not exist.
+- GREEN: moved the implementation, re-exported it, and reran focused contextual/code-health tests plus API typecheck and lint.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- The materializer keeps the existing bounded `maxSummaryNodes`, `maxTopics`, and `maxDocumentsPerTopic` validation.
+- Processing still performs one batch `nodes.getMany()` and one `paths.upsertMany()` call for generated materialized paths, avoiding N+1 reads or writes.
+- Topic metadata/path responses remain clone-isolated; no new cache, queue retention, or database read path was introduced.
+
+## Verification

+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api typecheck`
+- `pnpm lint`
+- `pnpm check`
+- `pnpm build`
+- `cargo test --workspace`
+- Remaining final verification is run before commit.
+
+## Review Cadence
+
+- This is implementation commit 4 after review checkpoint `9042d56`.
+- The next mandatory health review is due after 6 more implementation commits.

+# Review Checkpoint After API Decomposition Batch
+
+## Scope
+
+- Mandatory 10-implementation-commit health review after checkpoint `51b0582`.
+- Reviewed implementation commits:
+  - `14b311d` Extract API retrieval text utilities
+  - `3c1ac81` Extract API index projection repository
+  - `a387125` Extract API index projection builders
+  - `dab7c83` Extract API incremental reindexer

+  - `132e08c` Extract API retrieval evidence mapping
+  - `8e0b2bc` Extract API retrieval evaluation utils
+  - `2a8533f` Extract API retrieval evaluation reports
+
+## Findings
+
+- No blocking findings were found.
+- Technical direction remains aligned with `.harness/docs/code-review-remediation-iteration-plan.md` R6: retrieval and evaluation responsibilities are being extracted from `packages/api/src/index.ts` into focused, directly tested modules while the gateway remains the composition boundary.
+- `packages/api/src/index.ts` is down to 15,507 lines after this batch. It is still too large for long-term maintainability, so API decomposition should continue in small TDD slices.
+- Performance guardrails remain intact for this batch:
+  - Retrieval/index repository reads use explicit `limit`, `limit + 1` keyset pagination, or explicit `maxRows`.
+  - Database SQL continues to use parameter placeholders and escaped identifiers.
+  - Extracted retrieval helpers clone at external boundaries without adding database round trips or query waterfalls.
+  - No new unbounded object reads, unbounded queues, or cross-tenant read paths were introduced by the reviewed commits.
+- A static scan still finds some `Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER` use in database-backed repository validator calls. Those instances are not default in-memory capacity settings; in-memory fallback factories still require explicit bounds. Keep this on the radar when extracting the remaining graph/index logic.
+- `.harness/changes` has a trace document for every implementation slice in this 10-commit batch.
+- Temporary task/progress documents are absent after the earlier cleanup, so this review checkpoint is recorded in `.harness/changes` per the current agent requirements.
+- Unrelated local files remain intentionally unstaged: `.claude/settings.local.json` and `docs/code-review-issues.md`.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/code-health.test.ts`

+# Review Checkpoint: API Decomposition After 545a158
+
+## Summary
+
+- Completed the mandatory 10-implementation-commit health review after implementation commit `545a158`.
+- Reviewed commits from checkpoint `6f3cfc8` through `545a158`:
+  - `c0bc5ae` Extract API golden question repository
+  - `7e27c62` Extract API embedding model registry
+  - `ff12425` Extract API answer trace recorder

+  - `95f9bf3` Extract API knowledge path repository
+  - `f755aeb` Extract API knowledge node repository
+  - `545a158` Extract API knowledge path resolution cache
+
+## Findings
+
+- No blocking findings.
+- Technical direction remains aligned with the review remediation plan: repository/cache responsibilities are moving out of `packages/api/src/index.ts` into focused, directly tested modules while the gateway remains the composition surface.
+- Performance guardrails are preserved across the extracted modules: tenant-scoped access, explicit list bounds, `limit + 1` keyset pagination, `maxRows` on database reads, bounded cache keys, and clone isolation at repository boundaries.
+- Test health remains above the project coverage requirement. `pnpm check` reports API coverage at 96.12% statements and 90.96% branches.
+- `.harness/changes` has one trace document for each implementation slice in this 10-commit window.
+- Unrelated local files remain intentionally unstaged: `.claude/settings.local.json` and `docs/code-review-issues.md`.

+
+## Findings
+
+- No blocking findings were found.
+- Technical direction remains aligned with `.harness/docs/code-review-remediation-iteration-plan.md` R6: cohesive retrieval, graph, evaluation, and streaming responsibilities are moving out of `packages/api/src/index.ts` into focused modules with static code-health guardrails.
+- `packages/api/src/index.ts` is down to 10,086 lines after this batch. It is still intentionally the gateway composition surface, but it remains too large and should keep shrinking through small TDD extraction slices.
+- Performance guardrails remain intact for this batch:
+  - Retrieval, graph, and evaluation flows preserve explicit limits, bounded fanout, or repository-level `maxRows`/pagination constraints.
+  - Database execution remains parameterized; no new user-input SQL string concatenation was introduced.
+  - SSE response extraction preserves streaming behavior without buffering generated query chunks or research progress events.
+  - No new unbounded object reads, unbounded queues, memory-retained terminal state, or cross-tenant read paths were introduced by the reviewed commits.
+- Test posture remains healthy: each implementation slice added or extended code-health/focused gateway coverage before extraction, and the package coverage gate remains above 90%.
+- Residual risk: several recent extraction slices still rely on broad gateway tests rather than fully independent direct tests for every helper. Continue favoring direct module tests when the next extraction boundary has enough behavior to test in isolation.
+- `.harness/changes` has a trace document for every implementation slice in this 10-commit batch.
+- Unrelated local files remain intentionally unstaged: `.claude/settings.local.json` and `docs/code-review-issues.md`.

+# 10-Commit API Decomposition Health Review
+
+## Summary
+
+- Mandatory 10-implementation-commit health review after checkpoint `5fcec6c`.
+- Reviewed commits from `eaa62e7` through `f01fa6b`:
+  - `eaa62e7` Extract API KnowledgeFS types
+  - `2bb9aa6` Extract API Knowledge MCP types
+  - `09a61c1` Extract API workspace snapshot schemas
+  - `1dc0a01` Extract API Knowledge MCP server

+  - `81d7a51` Extract API document compilation worker
+  - `447060d` Extract API embedding model upgrade workflow
+  - `5dad711` Extract API contextual enrichment flow
+  - `f01fa6b` Extract API entity extraction flow
+
+## Findings
+
+- No blocking issues found.
+- Technical direction remains aligned with R6: broad responsibilities continue moving out of `packages/api/src/index.ts` into focused modules with root re-exports.
+- Code-health tests now guard the extracted MCP, SourceFS, worker, workflow, contextual enrichment, and entity extraction boundaries against drifting back into the gateway.
+- Performance posture is unchanged or improved: these slices are mostly mechanical extractions, and the moved flows retain existing bounded batch sizes, clone-isolation boundaries, single batch repository reads/writes, and explicit capacity guards.
+- Test posture remains healthy: the implementation commit passed focused API tests, API typecheck, full `pnpm check`, `pnpm build`, `pnpm lint`, `cargo test --workspace`, `pnpm wasm:build`, Compose config checks, and `git diff --check`.
+- Traceability is complete for this cadence: each reviewed implementation commit has a corresponding `.harness/changes` entry and the remediation iteration plan was updated as the work progressed.
+
+## Residual Risk
+
+- `packages/api/src/index.ts` is still large at 7,491 lines after this review, so R6 decomposition should continue. The current trajectory is positive and no new god-file responsibility was added in this cadence.
+- Temporary task/progress documents remain intentionally absent after the prior cleanup; this review is recorded in `.harness/changes` per `.harness/agents/development-requirements.md`.
+- The working tree still contains unrelated local/user files not staged by this checkpoint: `.claude/settings.local.json` and `docs/code-review-issues.md`.

+## Findings
+
+- Technical direction remains aligned with R6: cohesive API helpers and repositories are moving out of `packages/api/src/index.ts`, with `code-health.test.ts` guardrails preventing regression into the gateway file.
+- Performance boundaries remain acceptable for this batch: newly extracted in-memory repositories are explicitly bounded, repository reads remain tenant/space scoped, and S3/WASM/DB/compose gates stayed green.
+- Test health is good: the latest full `pnpm check` passed, including package coverage gates; API coverage reported 95.54% statements and 90.69% branches.

+# Review Checkpoint fb2f326 API Decomposition
+
+## Summary
+
+- Completed the mandatory 10-implementation-commit health review after review checkpoint `9042d56`.
+- Reviewed implementation commits `30eb1a5` through `fb2f326`.
+- No blocking findings were found; feature iteration may continue after this review record is committed and pushed.
+
+## Reviewed Commits
+
+- `30eb1a5` Extract API relation extraction flow
+- `50a73e4` Extract API extraction quality control flow
+- `bc4defd` Extract API topic view materializer
+- `30626da` Extract API graph traversal responses
+- `aba0445` Extract API shared utilities
+- `d13f480` Extract API KnowledgeFS response schemas
+- `e13cf41` Extract API document response schemas
+- `a4963d7` Extract API research task response schemas
+- `7f88b60` Extract API operation policy response schemas
+- `fb2f326` Extract API core resource response schemas
+
+## Findings
+
+- Technical direction remains aligned with `.harness` architecture: responsibilities moved out of `packages/api/src/index.ts` into focused API modules with package-root exports.
+- The reviewed changes are schema/helper/orchestration extraction slices and did not introduce new database access paths, queue consumers, cache retention behavior, object storage reads, provider calls, or unbounded list APIs.
+- Performance-sensitive extraction flow modules retained bounded batch inputs, deterministic metadata assembly, and existing route/repository behavior.
+- `packages/api/src/index.ts` is still large at 6,163 lines, but this batch reduced it by roughly 1,400 lines and added code-health guardrails preventing the extracted responsibilities from drifting back.
+- The `core-resource-response-schemas.ts` slice surfaced and fixed an OpenAPI extension initialization dependency by explicitly importing `@hono/zod-openapi` in the extracted module.
+- `.harness/changes` has one trace document for every implementation slice in this 10-commit batch.
+- Temporary task/progress documents are absent by prior project cleanup, so this checkpoint is recorded in `.harness/changes` and the remediation iteration plan.
+
+## Verification Reviewed
+
+- Focused TDD tests were run for every implementation slice before its commit.
+- Latest full verification before `fb2f326`:
+  - `pnpm check`
+  - `pnpm build`
+  - `pnpm lint`
+  - `cargo test --workspace`
+  - `pnpm wasm:build`
+  - `pnpm compose:config`
+  - `docker compose --profile apps config`
+  - `git diff --check`
+- API coverage remains above the required 90% threshold; latest observed aggregate API coverage was 96.61%.
+
+## Follow-Up
+
+- Continue API decomposition from the next implementation commit, using this review record commit as the new cadence checkpoint.
+- Keep prioritizing extractions that reduce `packages/api/src/index.ts` without changing route behavior unless a separate behavior-focused TDD slice is planned.

+# Centralize KnowledgeFS Errors
+
+## Summary
+
+- Continued the API god-file decomposition by moving `KnowledgeFsNotFoundError` out of `packages/api/src/index.ts`.
+- Centralized KnowledgeFS validation and not-found error classes in `packages/api/src/knowledge-fs-errors.ts`.
+- Added focused error tests and strengthened code-health guardrails so shared KnowledgeFS error classes stay outside the gateway file.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- RED: added `knowledge-fs-errors.test.ts` and a code-health assertion for `KnowledgeFsNotFoundError` before the error was exported by `knowledge-fs-errors.ts`.
+- GREEN: exported `KnowledgeFsNotFoundError` from the shared errors module and rewired gateway route handlers to import it.
+
+## Performance And Safety Notes
+
+- This is a pure boundary move with no new runtime I/O, database queries, object storage calls, parsing, or allocation-heavy behavior.
+- Existing route error semantics are preserved: KnowledgeFS missing paths/nodes still map to 404 responses.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Focused verification:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/knowledge-fs-errors.test.ts src/code-health.test.ts`
+- Full verification to run before commit:
+  - `pnpm check`
+  - `pnpm build`
+  - `pnpm lint`
+  - `cargo test --workspace`
+  - `pnpm wasm:build`
+  - `pnpm compose:config`
+  - `docker compose --profile apps config`
+  - `git diff --check`
+
+## Review Cadence
+
+- This slice is implementation commit 6 after review checkpoint `207c4f3`.
+- Next mandatory 10-commit health review is due after 4 more implementation commits.

+# Extract Agent Workspace Snapshot Routes
+
+## Summary
+
+- Extracted agent workspace snapshot OpenAPI route definitions from `packages/api/src/index.ts` into `packages/api/src/agent-workspace-snapshot-routes.ts`.
+- Covered snapshot creation, lookup, and replay route contracts.
+- Preserved existing gateway handler behavior and tenant-scoped repository access.
+
+## TDD
+

+# Extract AnswerTrace Tenant Access Helper
+
+## Summary
+
+- Continued R6 API decomposition by moving tenant-scoped `AnswerTrace` lookup out of `packages/api/src/index.ts`.
+- Added `packages/api/src/answer-trace-access.ts` as the reusable boundary for hiding missing and cross-tenant traces behind `null`.
+- Kept gateway behavior unchanged by re-exporting and importing the helper from the API entrypoint.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- RED: added direct access tests and a code-health guardrail before the module existed.
+- GREEN: implemented the module and removed `getTenantScopedAnswerTrace` from the gateway file.
+
+## Performance And Safety
+
+- Preserved the two-step lookup: trace by id, then tenant-scoped KnowledgeSpace verification.
+- No unbounded list/read path was introduced.
+- Cross-tenant traces remain indistinguishable from missing traces.
+
+## Verification

+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/answer-trace-access.test.ts src/code-health.test.ts`
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api typecheck`

+# Extract Answer Trace Routes
+
+## Summary
+
+- Extracted answer trace and query virtual-tree OpenAPI route definitions from `packages/api/src/index.ts` into `packages/api/src/answer-trace-routes.ts`.

+# Extract API Gateway Route Schemas
+
+## Summary
+
+- Continued the H1/R6 API god-file decomposition by moving shared gateway route schemas out of `packages/api/src/index.ts`.
+- Added `packages/api/src/gateway-route-schemas.ts` for common error, graph traversal, query stream, answer-trace, retention, production bad-case, and bulk operation schemas.
+- Added a code-health guardrail to keep these route schema definitions from returning to the gateway file.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- RED: added `gateway-route-schemas.test.ts` and a `code-health.test.ts` guardrail before the new module existed.
+- GREEN: implemented the schema module, exported it from the API package, and rewired `index.ts` to import the schemas.
+
+## Performance And Safety Notes
+
+- Preserved bounded query validation for graph traversal fanout, max nodes, depth, timeout, query stream active ids, and virtual tree list limits.
+- Kept strict schemas for mutating request bodies so unknown keys are rejected where the existing route contract already rejected them.
+- No runtime I/O, database, object storage, parser, or network behavior changed.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Focused verification:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/gateway-route-schemas.test.ts src/code-health.test.ts`

+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- RED: added focused request-schema and code-health tests before wiring the new module into `index.ts`.
+- GREEN: exported/imported the new schema module and removed the duplicated inline gateway definitions.

+# Extract GoldenQuestion Routes
+
+## Summary
+
+- Moved GoldenQuestion CRUD, annotation, and production bad-case OpenAPI route constants out of `packages/api/src/index.ts`.
+- Added `packages/api/src/golden-question-routes.ts` and re-exported it from the API package entrypoint.
+- Corrected the extracted production bad-case route to import `CreateProductionBadCaseSchema` from shared gateway route schemas.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- RED: `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/code-health.test.ts` failed because `golden-question-routes.ts` did not exist.
+- GREEN: Extracted the route constants and added a code-health guardrail that prevents these definitions from returning to `index.ts`.
+- A focused typecheck caught an initial wrong schema import before commit; the route now uses the same schema source as the original gateway code.

+# Extract KnowledgeFS Command Registry
+
+## Summary
+
+- Continued the H1/R6 API god-file decomposition by moving KnowledgeFS command registry wiring and command helpers out of `packages/api/src/index.ts`.
+- Added `packages/api/src/knowledge-fs-command-registry.ts` for `ls`, `tree`, `grep`, `find`, `diff`, `open_node`, `cat`, and `stat` command registration plus their cohesive directory/read/render helpers.
+- Kept gateway behavior unchanged by re-exporting and importing the new module from the API entrypoint.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- RED: added a code-health guardrail requiring `knowledge-fs-command-registry.ts` and confirming `index.ts` no longer owns registry/list/render helper functions.
+- GREEN: added focused registry tests for the bounded command list and permission denial before storage dependencies are touched.
+
+## Performance And Safety
+
+- Preserved bounded command registry capacity at 8 commands.

+# Review Checkpoint After API Decomposition Slice
+
+## Summary
+
+- Completed the mandatory 10-implementation-commit health review after review checkpoint `207c4f3`.
+- Reviewed implementation commits `cfbd837` through `14576c7`.
+- No blocking findings were found; feature/decomposition iteration may continue after this review record is committed and pushed.
+
+## Reviewed Commits
+
+- `cfbd837` Extract API knowledge space golden question schemas
+- `237c95a` Extract API research task request schemas
+- `e84cf17` Extract API document request schemas
+- `41a7ac2` Extract API KnowledgeFS request schemas
+- `69ceff7` Extract API gateway route schemas
+- `3510703` Centralize KnowledgeFS errors
+- `b95e673` Extract golden question annotation helpers
+- `670b1d5` Extract query virtual entry helpers
+- `b5c6fa6` Extract KnowledgeFS command registry
+- `14576c7` Extract bulk operation summary helpers
+
+## Health Review
+
+- Technical direction: the reviewed work stayed on the R6/H1 remediation path by shrinking `packages/api/src/index.ts` from the API god file into cohesive schema, error, virtual tree, command registry, and summary modules.
+- Performance: no new database access patterns, object-storage reads, or queue behavior were introduced; extracted command helpers preserved explicit limits, keyset cursor usage, batched `getMany` node loading, and single `getMany` compilation-job summary loading.
+- Safety: extracted modules include code-health guardrails preventing helpers from drifting back into `index.ts`, and new modules avoid importing from the gateway entrypoint.
+- Tests: each implementation slice included focused tests before/with implementation, and API coverage remains above the 90% project requirement.
+- Traceability: all 10 reviewed commits include `.harness/changes` records.
+
+## Verification Reviewed
+
+- Latest full verification before this review passed:
+  - `pnpm lint`
+  - `pnpm check`
+  - `pnpm build`
+  - `cargo test --workspace`
+  - `pnpm wasm:build`
+  - `pnpm compose:config`
+  - `docker compose --profile apps config`
+  - `git diff --check`
+- Additional review scans:
+  - `git log --oneline 207c4f3..HEAD`
+  - `.harness/changes` traceability scan for reviewed commits
+  - `rg` scan for TODO/FIXME/unbounded/N+1/god-file regression markers
+
+## Follow-Up
+
+- Continue R6 API decomposition. `packages/api/src/index.ts` is now 4,602 lines and still owns gateway route composition plus a few route-local helpers.
+- The next 10-commit implementation counter starts after this review record is committed and pushed.

+# 10-Commit Health Review: API Decomposition
+
+## Checkpoint
+
+- Checkpoint implementation commit: `be2392e` (`Extract gateway app shell`).
+- Scope reviewed: the 10 implementation commits after review checkpoint `63eca78`.
+- Commit range reviewed:
+  - `26022ba` Extract answer trace access helper
+  - `7188805` Extract async trace helper
+  - `396b114` Extract gateway options contract
+  - `c9e4fc4` Extract gateway OpenAPI contracts
+  - `26f2086` Extract KnowledgeSpace routes
+  - `7b517ef` Extract golden question routes
+  - `027bb22` Extract gateway system routes
+  - `9b1c0a1` Extract gateway OpenAPI document
+  - `d6ebd6c` Extract gateway error handlers
+  - `be2392e` Extract gateway app shell
+
+## Findings
+
+- No blocking findings.
+- Technical direction remains aligned with `.harness` API decomposition guidance: broad responsibilities continue moving out of `packages/api/src/index.ts` into focused modules.
+- Extracted modules do not import back from `./index`, avoiding circular ownership of the gateway entrypoint.
+- Performance posture is unchanged and acceptable for this slice: the work moved static route/config/error helper boundaries only, with no new database query paths, list APIs, cache retention, object reads, or runtime buffering.
+- TDD cadence was followed: each implementation slice added a failing code-health guardrail first, then extracted the module and ran focused verification.
+- Coverage and validation health are intact. The latest full gate passed: `pnpm check`, `pnpm build`, `pnpm lint`, `cargo test --workspace`, `pnpm wasm:build`, `pnpm compose:config`, `docker compose --profile apps config`, and `git diff --check`.
+
+## Residual Risk
+
+- `packages/api/src/index.ts` is still large at roughly 4,037 lines.
+- Remaining decomposition should continue with document, research task, and KnowledgeFS route definitions before deeper handler extraction.
+
+## Next Cadence
+
+- The next implementation counter starts after this review record commit.
+- Pause again for project health review after the next 10 implementation commits.

+- No route module imports `./index`, so extracted modules do not depend back on the gateway entrypoint.
+- `packages/api/src/index.ts` no longer imports or calls `createRoute`; route contract definitions are now isolated in route modules.
+- The gateway entrypoint remains large at 2703 lines, but the remaining size is now primarily handler wiring and runtime composition rather than route contract definitions.
+- No performance regressions were introduced by these extraction slices because they moved static route definitions without changing database, storage, parser, or query execution behavior.
+- Change traceability is present through one `.harness/changes` record per implementation commit.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Full verification passed before committing `faa4d54`:
+  - `pnpm lint`
+  - `pnpm build`
+  - `pnpm check`
+  - `cargo test --workspace`
+  - `pnpm wasm:build`
+  - `pnpm compose:config`
+  - `docker compose --profile apps config`
+  - `git diff --check`
+- Post-commit review verification:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/code-health.test.ts`
+  - `rg -n 'from "\./index"' packages/api/src/*routes.ts packages/api/src/gateway-*.ts`
+  - `rg -n 'createRoute' packages/api/src/index.ts packages/api/src/*routes.ts`
+
+## Next Counter
+
+- The next 10-commit implementation counter starts after this review record commit.
+- Continue God File decomposition by extracting handler wiring and runtime composition from `packages/api/src/index.ts` in bounded, TDD-backed slices.

+# API Decomposition Review Checkpoint
+
+## Summary
+
+- Completed the mandatory 10-commit project health review after implementation commit `6590241`.
+- Reviewed the handler extraction sequence from checkpoint `09193ab` through `6590241`.
+- Confirmed the current God File split direction is still aligned: `packages/api/src/index.ts` is shrinking toward gateway composition while resource-specific HTTP behavior moves into focused handler modules.
+
+## Commit Window
+
+- `7eab328` Extract KnowledgeFS handlers
+- `0e376fa` Extract document read handlers
+- `01c9318` Extract graph handlers
+- `18c2344` Extract gateway system handlers
+- `a5e5cc4` Extract KnowledgeSpace handlers
+- `ae09c00` Extract golden question handlers
+- `9fc4dd5` Extract document compilation handlers
+- `f110f85` Extract answer trace handlers
+- `338f76b` Extract operation policy handlers
+- `6590241` Extract query handlers
+
+## Findings
+
+- No blocking technical-direction issues found.
+- No performance regressions found in this review slice; the handler extractions preserve existing repository calls, bounded pagination, tenant scoping, and response behavior.
+- Test health is good: the latest full verification passed, including `pnpm check`, coverage, Rust tests, WASM build, and Compose config rendering.
+- Traceability is intact: each implementation slice in this checkpoint has a corresponding `.harness/changes` record.
+
+## Residual Risk
+
+- `packages/api/src/index.ts` remains large at 1654 lines and still contains research task, agent workspace snapshot, and document write/upload handler blocks.
+- Continue the same TDD-first extraction pattern and keep each remaining handler boundary covered by code-health guardrails.
+
+## Verification Reviewed
+
+- `pnpm check`
+- `pnpm build`
+- `pnpm lint`
+- `cargo test --workspace`
+- `pnpm wasm:build`
+- `pnpm compose:config`
+- `docker compose --profile apps config`
+- `git diff --check`
+
+## Review Cadence
+
+- Review checkpoint commit window closes at implementation commit `6590241`.
+- The next implementation counter starts after this review checkpoint.

+# GitHub Flow Build Workflow
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added a GitHub Flow workflow for pull requests, pushes to `main`, and manual dispatch.
+- Kept the build pipeline aligned with local gates: TypeScript/tests/coverage/evaluation checks, build, lint, Compose config validation, Rust tests, WASM build, and production API Docker image build.
+- Added a Node test that asserts the workflow shape so CI drift is caught by `pnpm check`.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- Red: `pnpm ci:workflow:test` failed against the old workflow because it lacked GitHub Flow naming, manual dispatch, concurrency cancellation, a production Docker image gate, and still duplicated `pnpm eval:regression` outside `pnpm check`.
+- Green: updated `.github/workflows/ci.yml` and wired `ci:workflow:test` into the root `check` script.
+
+## Performance And Safety Notes
+
+- The workflow uses concurrency cancellation so stale runs do not consume runner capacity.
+- `pnpm check` remains the single source for expensive regression gates, avoiding duplicate evaluation work in CI.
+- The Docker job only builds the production API image; it does not publish artifacts or deploy.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Passed:
+  - `pnpm ci:workflow:test`
+  - `pnpm check`
+  - `pnpm build`
+  - `pnpm lint`
+  - `cargo test --workspace`
+  - `pnpm wasm:build`
+  - `pnpm compose:config`
+  - `docker compose --profile apps config`
+  - `git diff --check`
+- Local environment limitation:
+  - `pnpm docker:api:build` could not complete because the local Docker daemon was not reachable at `unix:///Users/jyong/.docker/run/docker.sock`; the workflow still gates the production image build on GitHub-hosted runners.

+# Middleware-Only Local Compose
+
+## Summary

+- Added `compose.middleware.yaml` for local middleware services only: PostgreSQL, MinIO, MinIO bucket bootstrap, and Unstructured.
+- Changed `pnpm dev:infra` to use the middleware-only Compose file so API and Admin can run from local source code.
+- Added `compose:middleware:config` and `compose:middleware:test` scripts.

+# Admin Workspace Upload 404 Fix
+
+## Summary
+
+- Fixed the Admin BFF path used by `POST /api/bff/knowledge-spaces/workspace/documents`.
+- The BFF now resolves the default `workspace` slug through `GET /knowledge-spaces?limit=100` and forwards the upload to the real `KnowledgeSpace.id`.
+- Increased the Admin BFF default request body limit from `64 KiB` to `10 MiB`, matching the single-document upload path better.
+- Changed the Admin upload form field from `source` to `sourceId`, which is what the API upload parser expects.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- Red: added a BFF test for `POST /api/bff/knowledge-spaces/workspace/documents`; it failed because the proxy forwarded `workspace` directly and returned `502` in the test harness.
+- Green: added bounded workspace slug resolution before body forwarding, preserving the upload body and Authorization header.
+
+## Operational Notes
+
+- The fix assumes a tenant-scoped KnowledgeSpace with slug `workspace` exists. If it does not exist, the BFF still returns `404 { "error": "Knowledge space not found" }` instead of auto-creating data.
+- Slug resolution is intentionally limited to the Admin default `workspace` slug to avoid changing the public API contract for `/knowledge-spaces/{id}` routes.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Passed:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin test -- lib/bff.test.ts app/page.test.tsx`
+  - `pnpm lint`

+# 10-Commit Health Review + Admin BFF Bounded JSON Fix
+
+Date: 2026-05-21
+
+## Context
+
+- Mandatory review checkpoint: after implementation commit `f4c83cc`.
+- Previous review checkpoint: `563f24c`.
+- Reviewed 10 implementation commits:
+  - `86b3d93 Add API-only local smoke command`
+  - `62890b4 Add durable local smoke command`
+  - `a07289a Bundle WASM compute in API image`
+  - `438aab6 Smoke API image WASM compute`
+  - `0085684 Smoke API image HTTP health`
+  - `cb83114 Guard app compose profile contract`
+  - `6a4711e Add Admin production Docker image`
+  - `01a0382 Smoke Admin image HTTP homepage`
+  - `5de5df7 Tighten Docker build context hygiene`
+  - `f4c83cc Add production app image smoke command`
+
+## Findings
+
+- Technical direction stayed aligned with the architecture guardrails: Hono owns API/runtime behavior, Next.js stays a thin Admin shell/BFF, and Rust remains pure WASM compute.
+- Docker runtime health improved: API/Admin image build and smoke commands now cover WASM import, API HTTP health, Admin HTTP homepage, and app-image smoke ordering.
+- Docker build contexts are now guarded against nested `.next`, `.turbo`, `coverage`, `dist`, `node_modules`, and generated `pkg` directories.
+- High-priority performance boundary issue found and fixed: Admin BFF default workspace bootstrap read upstream JSON with unbounded `response.json()`, violating the bounded response-read rule.
+- Tests and CI gates remained green before the review checkpoint, including `pnpm check`, `pnpm build`, `pnpm lint`, `cargo test --workspace`, and `pnpm docker:apps:smoke`.
+
+## Fix
+
+- Replaced Admin BFF workspace lookup/create `response.json()` calls with a bounded JSON reader.
+- The bounded reader cancels upstream reads after `maxBodyBytes`, returns `502 Bad Gateway`, and prevents upload proxying when bootstrap responses are oversized or malformed.
+- Added regression tests for oversized default workspace lookup and workspace creation responses.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Passed:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin test -- lib/bff.test.ts`
+  - `cargo test --workspace`
+  - `pnpm check`
+  - `pnpm build`
+  - `pnpm lint`
+  - `node --test scripts/docker-apps-smoke.test.mjs`
+  - `git diff --check`
+
+## Follow-Up Risk
+
+- Docker image builds still depend on package registry access during the build stage. A later infrastructure slice can add BuildKit cache mounts for pnpm store reuse, but this is not blocking current correctness.

+# 10-Commit Health Review: Core Closure
+
+## Summary
+
+- Completed the mandatory health review after more than 10 implementation commits following review checkpoint `710704d`.
+- Review trigger implementation checkpoint: `8eaefbf` (`Add local happy path smoke`).
+- Review remediation commit: `4e367d1` (`Bound local smoke response reads`).
+- Next implementation counter starts after this review record commit.
+
+## Commits Reviewed
+
+- `e6741a9` Extract agent workspace snapshot handlers
+- `358cba9` project-overview
+- `2fec3cc` Add GitHub Flow build workflow
+- `8222e9b` Add middleware-only compose stack
+- `5f20fbe` Fix admin workspace upload proxy

+- `c41d936` Add admin query form path
+- `e75ecdc` Mark admin preview panels
+- `8eaefbf` Add local happy path smoke
+
+## Findings
+
+- Fixed: `scripts/local-happy-path-smoke.mjs` initially used `response.text()` before checking body size. That violated the bounded-read performance rule even though it was a local smoke script. Added a regression test and replaced it with an explicit byte-limited stream reader in `4e367d1`.
+- No blocking architecture drift found. The Admin Console remains a UI/BFF boundary, and business behavior stays in the Hono API/packages.
+- No N+1 or unbounded DB-query patterns were introduced in the reviewed Admin/Core Closure work. New list calls keep explicit limits.
+- `.harness/changes` entries exist for each Core Closure implementation slice.
+
+## Verification Reviewed
+
+- `pnpm check`
+- `pnpm build`
+- `pnpm lint`
+- `cargo test --workspace`
+- `git diff --check`
+
+## Residual Risks
+
+- The local smoke validates upload and parse artifact persistence. The next product-health gap is proving that uploaded content becomes queryable evidence by default, including node/index creation and a query response that is not just UI plumbing.

+# 10-Commit Health Review After `d7e35bd`
+
+## Scope
+
+- Reviewed the 10 implementation commits after checkpoint `d7e35bd`, ending at `fd9870a`.
+- Commit range:
+  - `8b37579 Add synchronous upload node generation`
+  - `d15e57f Wire local WASM compute runtime`
+  - `06f1d3a Add local node query generator`
+  - `6e4de73 Extend local smoke to query evidence`
+  - `31fa32e Add Node PostgreSQL database executor`
+  - `2f5bc58 Wire API database repository bundle`
+  - `d7ddbd0 Add local database migration command`
+  - `ee330bb Load env for source API dev`
+  - `4e48155 Add optional local smoke migrations`
+  - `fd9870a Exercise Admin BFF in local smoke`
+
+## Review Result
+
+- No blocking health issues found.
+- Technical direction remains aligned with the project guardrails:
+  - Hono/API owns ingestion, persistence, repositories, query generation, and source runtime wiring.
+  - Next.js Admin remains a UI shell plus thin BFF proxy.
+  - Rust/WASM remains pure compute; Node runtime only loads the generated WASM module.
+  - PostgreSQL access stays behind `DatabaseAdapter.execute()` and database-backed repositories.
+- The local product loop is now coherent: source-run middleware, API, Admin BFF upload, parsing, node generation, query evidence, optional migrations, and durable database-backed repositories are all covered by tests or smoke assertions.
+
+## Performance Review
+
+- No new unbounded hot-path reads were introduced.
+- New local query fallback uses `KnowledgeNodeRepository.listBySpace({ limit: maxLocalQueryNodes })` with bounded defaults.
+- New PostgreSQL execution remains wrapped by `createSchemaDatabaseAdapter()`, which rejects unbounded select execution and rejects executor over-return beyond `maxRows`.
+- New source-run PostgreSQL pool is bounded by `POSTGRES_POOL_MAX` with default `10`.
+- Local smoke reads JSON/SSE responses through explicit byte-limited stream readers; no `response.text()` was added to the smoke path.
+- Admin BFF upload smoke goes through the existing bounded BFF body proxy.
+
+## Test And CI Health
+
+- Passed during the reviewed implementation batch:
+  - `node --test scripts/local-happy-path-smoke.test.mjs`
+  - `pnpm check`
+  - `pnpm build`
+  - `pnpm lint`
+  - `cargo test --workspace`
+  - `pnpm compose:middleware:config`
+  - `git diff --check`
+- Coverage gates remain above the 90% project requirement in the checked packages.
+- CI workflow tests and migration drift checks remain part of `pnpm check`.
+
+## Traceability
+
+- Each implementation commit in this 10-commit batch has a corresponding `.harness/changes` record.
+- `.harness/docs/iteration-plan.md` reflects the completed Core Closure, Queryable Ingestion, and Durable Local Runtime slices.
+- Temporary task/progress documents are absent after earlier cleanup, so this review checkpoint is recorded in `.harness/changes` per the agent requirements.
+
+## Residual Risks
+
+- The local node query generator is intentionally a bounded fallback, not production-quality semantic retrieval. Production retrieval should continue through the existing hybrid retrieval, embedding, projection, rerank, and evaluation tracks.
+- Live smoke now expects the Admin dev server when `pnpm local:happy-path` is run. That matches the documented source-run local loop, but API-only smoke may need a separate command later if desired.
+
+## Next Cadence
+
+- The next 10-implementation-commit counter starts after this review checkpoint is committed and pushed.
+- Feature work may resume after this review commit lands.

+# Admin Image HTTP Smoke
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added `pnpm docker:admin:http-smoke` to start the production Admin image and verify the Next.js standalone homepage renders.
+- Added a bounded static script test and wired it into `pnpm check`.
+- Added the Admin HTTP smoke to the GitHub Actions Docker image job after image build and API image smokes.
+
+## TDD
+
+- RED: `pnpm docker:admin:http-smoke` failed because the script was missing.
+- GREEN: Added the smoke script, package scripts, workflow assertions, and CI step.
+
+## Performance And Safety
+
+- The smoke uses a dynamically mapped localhost port and a bounded HTML response reader.
+- The container cleanup path force-removes the smoke container in `finally`.
+- The smoke checks the rendered shell without requiring database, MinIO, Unstructured, or API containers.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Passed: `node --test scripts/admin-image-http-smoke.test.mjs`

+# Admin Local Upload Dev Auth
+
+## Summary
+
+- Fixed the local Admin upload flow so `POST /api/bff/knowledge-spaces/workspace/documents` can work from the browser without a manually supplied Bearer token.
+- The Admin BFF now injects a local dev token when a request has no `Authorization` header and `NODE_ENV` is not `production`.
+- The standalone API app accepts the same local dev token outside production through a static dev auth verifier.
+- When the default `workspace` slug does not exist, the BFF creates a tenant-scoped `Workspace` knowledge space before forwarding the upload to the real space id.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- Red: added a BFF test for uploading to `/knowledge-spaces/workspace/documents` without auth and with no existing workspace; it failed with `404`.
+- Green: added local auth injection, API dev auth wiring, and idempotent default workspace creation for the Admin placeholder route.
+
+## Safety Notes
+
+- Implicit dev auth is disabled when `NODE_ENV=production` unless an explicit local token is configured.
+- Production deployments should configure real auth instead of relying on the local dev token.
+- Workspace auto-create is limited to the Admin default `workspace` slug path and does not change the public API route contract.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Passed:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin test -- lib/bff.test.ts app/page.test.tsx`
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api-app test`
+  - `pnpm lint`
+  - `pnpm check`

+# Admin Production Docker Image
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added `apps/admin/Dockerfile` for a production Next.js standalone Admin image.
+- Updated the full `compose.yaml` app profile to run `knowledge-fs-admin:local` instead of a bind-mounted development server.
+- Added `pnpm docker:admin:build` and wired the Admin image build into GitHub Actions.
+
+## TDD
+
+- RED: `test -f apps/admin/Dockerfile && pnpm docker:admin:build` failed because the Dockerfile and build script were absent.
+- GREEN: Added Dockerfile contract tests, updated Compose app-profile tests, and updated workflow assertions.
+
+## Performance And Safety
+
+- The production image copies Next standalone output and static assets only, avoiding a repository bind mount in the app profile.
+- The Admin container remains a thin UI/BFF boundary and points browser traffic at the local API port.
+- The middleware-only Compose file remains the source-run option when API/Admin should run from host code.

+# API Image HTTP Health Smoke
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added `pnpm docker:api:http-smoke` to start the production API image and verify `/health`.
+- Added the HTTP smoke to the GitHub Actions Docker image job after the WASM import smoke.
+- Fixed the production esbuild bundle by adding a `createRequire` banner, because the HTTP smoke exposed a runtime failure from bundled CommonJS dependencies requiring Node built-ins.
+
+## TDD
+
+- Added failing workflow/script assertions first for the missing HTTP image smoke.
+- Ran the new smoke and used the runtime failure to add a focused production build-script regression test before fixing `build:prod`.
+
+## Performance And Safety
+
+- The smoke uses a dynamically mapped localhost port and a bounded health response reader.
+- The container cleanup path force-removes the smoke container in `finally`.
+- No external database, object storage, parser, or provider service is required; the image starts with bounded local fallbacks.
+
+## Verification

+# API Image WASM Compute Packaging
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added a Rust `wasm-builder` stage to `apps/api/Dockerfile`.
+- The production API image now builds `crates/knowledge_compute` for `wasm32-unknown-unknown`, runs pinned `wasm-bindgen-cli` `0.2.121`, and copies the generated package into `./crates/knowledge_compute/pkg`.
+- Updated docs and the durable local runtime iteration plan to record the container compute packaging requirement.
+
+## TDD
+
+- Added a failing Dockerfile test first to prove the API image did not bundle the WASM compute package.
+- Implemented the Dockerfile stage and runtime copy after the red test confirmed the gap.
+
+## Performance And Safety
+
+- The runtime image still runs compiled JavaScript as the non-root `node` user.
+- WASM remains pure compute and is packaged as a local runtime asset; no database, network, filesystem, cache, or streaming dependency was added to Rust.
+- This avoids containerized ingestion silently falling back to artifact-only behavior when source-tree `crates/knowledge_compute/pkg` is absent.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Passed: `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api-app test -- src/server-options.test.ts`

+# API Image WASM Smoke Gate
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added `pnpm docker:api:smoke` to run a container-level smoke against the built production API image.
+- Added `scripts/api-image-smoke.mjs`, which imports `./crates/knowledge_compute/pkg/knowledge_compute.js` inside the container and verifies core WASM compute exports.
+- Added the smoke to the GitHub Actions Docker image job after `pnpm docker:api:build`.
+
+## TDD
+
+- Added failing workflow/package/script assertions first for the missing Docker image smoke.
+- Implemented the script, root scripts, and CI step after the red test confirmed the gap.
+
+## Performance And Safety
+
+- The smoke does not start the HTTP server or external services.
+- It performs a single bounded `docker run` and validates module exports plus a tiny token-count call.
+- This guards against runtime image regressions where Docker build succeeds but packaged WASM cannot be imported.
+
+## Verification

+# API-Only Local Smoke
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added `pnpm local:happy-path:api` for source-run API validation without requiring the Admin dev server.
+- Added `LOCAL_SMOKE_SKIP_ADMIN_BFF=1` handling in the local smoke script.
+- Kept default `pnpm local:happy-path` behavior focused on the full Admin BFF plus API local loop.
+
+## TDD
+
+- Added failing assertions first for the missing root script, missing `LOCAL_SMOKE_SKIP_ADMIN_BFF` branch, and missing docs.
+- Implemented the API-only path after the red test confirmed the gap.
+
+## Performance And Safety
+
+- The API-only path reuses the same bounded JSON/SSE readers and direct API upload route.
+- The default smoke remains stronger because it still checks Admin BFF health and upload proxy behavior.
+- No new database reads, queues, or polling loops were added.
+

+# App Compose Contract Guardrail
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added `pnpm compose:apps:test` to statically guard the full `compose.yaml` app profile.
+- The guardrail checks API image build wiring, middleware readiness dependencies, service-local API URLs, and the Admin source-run BFF base URL.
+- Added the contract test to `pnpm check` and GitHub Actions before Compose config rendering.
+
+## TDD
+
+- RED: `pnpm compose:apps:test` failed because the script did not exist.
+- GREEN: Added `scripts/compose-apps.test.mjs`, wired the package script, and updated workflow assertions.

+# Core Closure Document Read Pages
+
+## Summary
+
+- Completed CC.3 from the Core Closure Track.
+- Added Admin document status and parse artifact pages under `/documents/[spaceId]/[documentId]`.
+- Updated upload result links to route to Admin pages instead of raw BFF JSON.
+- Extracted shared server auth and byte formatting helpers for Admin server-rendered pages.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- Red: upload result tests required Admin document links while the page still linked to BFF JSON.
+- Red: document read page tests imported document status and parse artifact pages that did not exist.
+- Green: added dynamic Next pages that load tenant-scoped `DocumentAsset` and `ParseArtifact` data with the local dev token.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- Document status view performs one `GET document` request.
+- Parse artifact view performs one `GET parse artifact` request and does not chain extra document reads.

+# Core Closure Live Health Readiness
+
+## Summary
+
+- Completed CC.4 from the Core Closure Track.
+- Replaced static top health cards with a bounded `/health` read through the shared Admin API client.
+- Health cards now show live gateway/component state or an explicit `Unavailable` fallback when the API cannot be reached.
+- Publish readiness now reflects the latest upload result instead of a hardcoded sample document.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- Red: Admin page tests required `Unavailable` fallback health, live component states from `/health`, and latest-upload readiness text.
+- Green: added health loading, component-to-card mapping, and upload-result-based readiness rendering.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- Admin home performs one `/health` request and one bounded `listKnowledgeSpaces({ limit: 100 })` request during server render.
+- No per-component health fanout happens in the Admin app; component aggregation remains owned by the API `/health` endpoint.
+- Publish readiness uses existing upload redirect data and does not add document/artifact reads on the home page.

+# Core Closure Local Happy Path Smoke
+
+## Summary
+
+- Completed CC.7 from the Core Closure Track.
+- Added `scripts/local-happy-path-smoke.mjs` for a source-run local smoke path.
+- Added root scripts:
+  - `local:happy-path`
+  - `local:happy-path:test`
+- Wired the smoke script test into `pnpm check`.
+- Documented the local source-run sequence in `README.md` and `infra/local/README.md`.
+- Review fix: changed smoke response parsing to use an explicit bounded stream reader instead of `response.text()`.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- Red: `scripts/local-happy-path-smoke.test.mjs` required the missing smoke script, root package command, check gate, and docs.
+- Green: implemented the script, package wiring, README instructions, targeted test, and bounded response-read guardrail.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- The smoke uses bounded JSON response reads with `LOCAL_SMOKE_MAX_JSON_BYTES`.
+- Workspace bootstrap uses one bounded list (`limit=100`) and a single create call only when the configured slug is absent.
+- The document upload path uses one Markdown file and then reads exactly one document and one parse artifact by id/version.

+# Core Closure Preview Panel Labels
+
+## Summary
+
+- Completed CC.6 from the Core Closure Track.
+- Marked secondary Admin panels that still use static/demo data as `Preview`.
+- Kept live primary paths unchanged: health, upload, publish readiness, workspace selection, and query form.
+
+## TDD Notes

+# Core Closure Real Query Form
+
+## Summary
+
+- Completed CC.5 from the Core Closure Track.
+- Replaced the static Admin retrieval controls with a real `POST /api/admin-query` form.
+- Added a bounded server redirect handler that calls the shared Admin API client `streamQuery`, summarizes SSE answer deltas, and redirects the user back to the Admin page with answer, citations, and trace id.
+- Added a Next route for the query form and rendered success/failure query result states on the Admin home page.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- Red: Admin page tests required a real query form and query-result rendering; `query-action` tests referenced a missing handler.
+- Green: implemented `createRunQueryRedirectHandler`, `/api/admin-query`, page parsing/rendering, and targeted tests.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- The query form path uses the existing Admin API client SSE size limit and query byte limit.
+- Redirect answer text is bounded to 2 KiB by default to avoid oversized URLs and unbounded memory growth.
+- Query requests are a single upstream `/queries` call; no per-citation fanout is added on the home page.
+
+## Verification

+# Core Closure Upload Result UI
+
+## Summary
+
+- Completed CC.2 from the Core Closure Track.
+- Replaced the upload form's direct BFF JSON navigation with a thin Admin upload action route at `/api/admin-upload`.
+- The action route reuses the existing Admin BFF proxy and redirects back to `/` with bounded success or error search params.
+- The Admin page now renders an upload result card with document id, parser status, file size, SHA-256 prefix, and document/artifact links.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- Red: `apps/admin/lib/upload-action.test.ts` first referenced `createUploadDocumentRedirectHandler`, which did not exist.
+- Red: `apps/admin/app/page.test.tsx` required `/api/admin-upload`, upload success details, and upload error display; the page still posted directly to BFF and rendered no result card.
+- Green: added the upload redirect handler, route, page result parsing, and success/error result cards.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- Upload request body remains bounded by the BFF proxy `maxBodyBytes`.
+- Upload response JSON is read with a 1 MiB cap before redirect params are produced.
+- The upload action forwards only `file` and optional `sourceId` to the API; it strips the UI-only `knowledgeSpaceId` field from the upstream multipart body.
+- No extra document or artifact reads occur during redirect handling; CC.3 will add explicit read views.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Passed:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin test -- app/page.test.tsx lib/upload-action.test.ts`

+# Core Closure Workspace Selection
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added the active Core Closure Track to `.harness/docs/iteration-plan.md`.
+- Started CC.1 by changing the Admin Console shell to render primary form actions from loaded `KnowledgeSpace` data when available.
+- Added a testable `AdminHomeView` that accepts workspace options and keeps a safe local `workspace` fallback for first-run development.
+- The default Admin page now attempts a bounded `listKnowledgeSpaces({ limit: 100 })` server-side load using the local dev token and falls back without crashing if the API is unavailable.
+- Marked the Admin page as `force-dynamic` so production builds do not freeze the local fallback workspace during static prerendering.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- Red: updated `apps/admin/app/page.test.tsx` to require real workspace ids in upload, golden question, and bad-case form actions; the test failed because `AdminHomeView` did not exist and the page was hardcoded to `workspace`.
+- Red: added a dynamic-rendering assertion; it failed while the page could still be statically prerendered.
+- Green: extracted `AdminHomeView`, added workspace option rendering, and wired the default page to load workspace options from the API.
+- Green: added the supported Next.js `dynamic = "force-dynamic"` segment config and verified `next build` reports `/` as dynamic.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- Workspace loading is bounded to 100 rows.
+- The page performs one bounded workspace-list request during server render; it does not loop over per-space detail requests.
+- Browser form submissions still go through the Admin BFF allowlist.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Passed:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin test -- app/page.test.tsx`
+  - `pnpm build`
+  - `pnpm check`
+  - `pnpm lint`

+# Docker Build Context Hygiene
+
+## Summary
+
+- Tightened `.dockerignore` so nested build artifacts and dependency directories are excluded from Docker build contexts.
+- Added `pnpm docker:context:test` and wired it into `pnpm check`.
+- Added a workflow/package-script assertion so the guardrail remains part of CI quality checks.
+
+## TDD
+
+- RED: `node --test scripts/dockerignore.test.mjs` failed because the guardrail did not exist.
+- GREEN: Added recursive ignore patterns and the focused static test.
+
+## Performance And Safety
+
+- Docker builds no longer need to send nested `apps/admin/.next`, package `dist`, coverage, `node_modules`, or generated WASM `pkg` artifacts in the context.
+- Source workspace roots remain visible to Dockerfiles.
+- This directly reduces CI/local build context transfer and avoids accidental artifact leakage into images.

+# Durable Local Database Repositories
+
+## Summary
+
+- Completed DLR.2 from the Durable Local Runtime Track.
+- Added API app repository wiring that switches core repositories to database-backed implementations when `DATABASE_URL` is configured.
+- The bundled repositories cover KnowledgeSpace, DocumentAsset, ParseArtifact, KnowledgeNode, and IndexProjection persistence together.
+- Added `KNOWLEDGE_DATABASE_REPOSITORIES=off|false|0` as an escape hatch for bounded memory fallback during local debugging.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- Red: API app tests required `createApiDatabaseRepositories()` and source entrypoint injection; the suite failed because `./repository-options` did not exist.
+- Green: implemented the repository bundle, added source entrypoint wiring, and documented the runtime behavior.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- The bundle uses existing database repositories, which keep parameterized SQL, explicit `maxRows`, stable list limits, and batch limits.
+- Core persistence switches as one unit to avoid a mixed in-memory/database state where upload, artifact, nodes, and projections drift apart.
+- Missing `DATABASE_URL` still returns an empty options object so no-config tests and development keep bounded memory fallbacks.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Passed:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api-app test -- src/repository-options.test.ts`
+  - `pnpm check`

+# Durable Local Migration Bootstrap
+
+## Summary
+
+- Completed DLR.3 from the Durable Local Runtime Track.
+- Added `pnpm local:db:migrate`, which loads `.env` when present and applies checked-in database migrations through the Node PostgreSQL adapter.
+- Added an API app migration entrypoint that reuses the existing deterministic `runDatabaseMigrations()` implementation.
+- Updated local docs so source-run users apply migrations before running the API against database-backed repositories.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- Red: API app tests required `runApiDatabaseMigrations()`, the root `local:db:migrate` script, and README documentation; the suite failed because `./migrate` did not exist.
+- Green: added the migrate entrypoint, root script, and local docs.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- The command reuses the existing migration runner, which reads bounded migration records with explicit `maxRows`.
+- Migrations run once and record applied ids in `schema_migrations`; repeated runs should be no-op after the select.
+- The adapter database connection is closed after success or failure.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Passed:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api-app test -- src/migrate.test.ts`

+# Durable Local PostgreSQL Executor
+
+## Summary
+
+- Started DLR.1 from the Durable Local Runtime Track.
+- Added a pool-backed PostgreSQL executor for the Node adapter.
+- `createNodePlatformAdapter()` now uses the executor when `DATABASE_URL` is configured or a test pool is injected.
+- Updated `.env.example` and local docs so source-run API can opt into PostgreSQL and MinIO instead of silently using only memory fallbacks.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- Red: adapter tests imported `createPostgresDatabaseExecutor()` and expected `DATABASE_URL` to wire pool-backed execution; the suite failed because `./postgres` did not exist.
+- Green: added the executor, health probe, pool close hook, Node adapter wiring, and docs/env updates.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- SQL execution keeps parameter arrays separate from SQL text.
+- Health uses a single bounded `SELECT 1;` probe.
+- No repository scan or list behavior was added; existing `DatabaseAdapter.execute()` still rejects unbounded reads through `maxRows`.
+- The pool max defaults to 10 and can be bounded through `POSTGRES_POOL_MAX`.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Passed:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/adapters test -- src/database.test.ts`

+# Durable Local Smoke Command
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added `pnpm local:happy-path:durable` as an explicit source-run durable smoke command.
+- Added `LOCAL_SMOKE_EXPECT_DURABLE=1` handling to the local smoke script.
+- Updated local docs and the iteration plan so users can distinguish memory fallback, API-only smoke, and durable middleware-backed smoke.
+
+## TDD
+
+- Added failing script/doc assertions first for the missing durable command and missing durable env checks.
+- Implemented the command and smoke validation after the red test confirmed the gap.
+
+## Performance And Safety
+
+- Durable mode fails fast unless `DATABASE_URL` and MinIO env are present.
+- Durable mode checks health for database and object storage before upload/query work begins.
+- No new data-plane reads, unbounded loops, or extra database round-trips were added to the app runtime.

+# Extract Document Write Handlers
+
+Date: 2026-05-21
+Commit message: `Extract document write handlers`
+Review checkpoint: `7e5f7e5`
+Implementation count since checkpoint: 2 / 10
+
+## Summary
+
+- Continued the API God File decomposition track by moving document upload, bulk upload, bulk delete, and bulk reindex route registration out of `packages/api/src/index.ts`.
+- Added `packages/api/src/document-write-handlers.ts` with an explicit dependency bundle so the gateway file stays focused on composition.
+- Added a code-health guardrail that rejects reintroducing document write route registration into `index.ts`.
+- Updated `.harness/docs/iteration-plan.md` to mark GF.2 done and queue GF.3 for domain-splitting the large gateway integration test file.
+
+## Performance And Safety Notes
+
+- Preserved existing bounded controls: upload size limits, bulk file/count limits, cascade delete caps, storage quota checks, and bounded cleanup paths.
+- Kept tenant-scoped KnowledgeSpace checks before document writes and deletes.
+- Kept existing trace spans and object cleanup behavior unchanged.
+- This is a mechanical extraction only; no new database reads, object storage reads, or request buffering paths were introduced.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/code-health.test.ts src/gateway.test.ts` passed.
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api typecheck` passed.
+- `pnpm check` passed.
+- `pnpm build` passed.
+- `pnpm lint` passed.
+- `cargo test --workspace` passed.

+# Extract Research Task Handlers
+
+Date: 2026-05-21
+
+## Summary
+
+- Continued `docs/code-review-issues.md` H1 God File remediation by moving Research Task HTTP handler registration out of `packages/api/src/index.ts`.
+- Added `packages/api/src/research-task-handlers.ts` with plan/create/get/partials/events/cancel route registration.
+- Left `createKnowledgeGateway` as dependency composition only for this domain: it now calls `registerResearchTaskHandlers({ ... })`.
+- Added a code-health guardrail to prevent research task handlers from drifting back into the gateway god file.
+
+## Performance And Safety Notes
+
+- Tenant checks remain server-side and unchanged: every read/write path verifies the authenticated subject tenant before accessing a research task.
+- Partials/progress reads keep their existing explicit bounded `limit` behavior.
+- Job payload metadata still passes through `toJobPayloadRecord` before enqueue/start, preserving JSON-compatible payload boundaries.
+- No database queries or route behavior were added; this is a responsibility-boundary refactor.
+
+## Iteration Plan
+
+- Added the Code Health Track to `.harness/docs/iteration-plan.md`.
+- Marked `GF.1 Extract Research Task HTTP handlers` as done.
+- Added `GF.2 Extract document write and bulk ingestion handlers` as the next planned God File decomposition slice.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Passed:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/code-health.test.ts src/gateway.test.ts`
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api typecheck`
+  - `cargo test --workspace`
+  - `pnpm check`
+  - `pnpm build`
+  - `pnpm lint`
+  - `git diff --check`
+
+## Cadence
+
+- This will be implementation commit 1 after review checkpoint `7e5f7e5`.
+- The next mandatory 10-commit health review is not due yet.

+# Local Smoke Admin BFF Upload
+
+## Summary
+
+- Changed `pnpm local:happy-path` so the upload step goes through the Admin BFF proxy instead of calling the API upload route directly.
+- Added an Admin BFF health check to the live smoke path.
+- Documented `LOCAL_SMOKE_ADMIN_BASE` for non-default Admin dev server URLs.
+
+## TDD
+
+- Added failing script/documentation assertions first for `LOCAL_SMOKE_ADMIN_BASE`, `/api/bff/health`, and the Admin BFF document upload path.
+- Implemented the smoke update only after the red test confirmed the missing coverage.
+
+## Performance And Safety
+
+- The smoke still uses bounded JSON and SSE response readers.
+- The Admin BFF upload path continues to rely on its bounded request-body proxy and default local auth injection.
+- API reads and query checks remain tenant-scoped through the same uploaded asset and workspace id.
+

+# Local Smoke Optional Migrations
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added an opt-in `LOCAL_SMOKE_RUN_MIGRATIONS=1` path to `pnpm local:happy-path`.
+- The smoke script now runs `pnpm local:db:migrate` before API health, upload, artifact, and query checks when the flag is enabled.
+- Updated local startup docs so source-run API/Admin users can validate the durable PostgreSQL path without a separate manual migration step.
+
+## TDD
+
+- Added failing smoke-script assertions first for the migration flag, local migration command, and documentation examples.
+- Implemented the bounded command step only after the red test confirmed the gap.
+
+## Performance And Safety
+
+- The migration step is explicit opt-in, so fast local smoke runs keep their existing behavior.
+- The smoke script continues to use bounded child-process buffers and bounded HTTP response reads.
+- Migrations continue through the existing checked-in SQL command instead of ad hoc database edits.

+# Production App Image Smoke Command
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added `pnpm docker:apps:smoke` as a single command that builds both production app images and runs API/Admin image smokes.
+- Added `pnpm docker:apps:smoke:test` and wired it into `pnpm check`.
+- Documented the command in README and local infra notes.
+
+## TDD
+
+- RED: `pnpm docker:apps:smoke:test` failed because the command and test did not exist.
+- GREEN: Added the ordered root package script and static command test.
+
+## Performance And Safety
+
+- The command reuses existing bounded smoke scripts instead of introducing new network or database dependencies.
+- Build and smoke order is explicit: API image, Admin image, API WASM import, API health, Admin homepage.
+- Static tests keep the cheap default gate fast while the real command remains available for release/local validation.

+# Queryable Ingestion Local Compute Runtime
+
+## Summary
+
+- Completed QI.2 from the Queryable Ingestion Track.
+- Added API app startup wiring that loads the generated Rust/WASM compute module when available.
+- Kept local startup safe: missing WASM output or `KNOWLEDGE_WASM_COMPUTE=false|0|off` returns no compute runtime instead of crashing.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- Red: API app tests referenced missing `compute-options` and missing `@knowledge/compute` dependency.
+- Green: added path resolution, explicit disable handling, injectable module loading tests, and gateway startup source assertions.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- The WASM module is loaded once at API app startup, not per request.
+- Synchronous upload node generation remains bounded by the gateway `maxSynchronousUploadNodes` limit.
+- No filesystem probing is performed per request; path resolution happens during startup only.
+
+## Verification

+# Queryable Ingestion Local Node Query Generator
+
+## Summary
+
+- Completed QI.3 from the Queryable Ingestion Track.
+- Added a default local query generator so `/queries` can answer from persisted `KnowledgeNode` records without an external LLM provider.
+- Added bounded `KnowledgeNodeRepository.listBySpace()` support for in-memory and database-backed repositories.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- Red: gateway query test proved a no-generator local query still returned `503 Query generation unavailable`.
+- Green: added local evidence SSE generation, node citation metadata, explicit query bounds, and tenant-scoped node listing.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- Local querying reads at most `maxLocalQueryNodes` nodes, defaulting to `20`.
+- Repository listing is tenant/space scoped and uses explicit limits; database mode uses keyset pagination by unique `id`.
+- Answer output is bounded by `maxLocalQueryAnswerChars`, defaulting to `2_000`.

+# Queryable Ingestion Local Smoke Query Evidence
+
+## Summary
+
+- Completed QI.4 from the Queryable Ingestion Track.
+- Extended `pnpm local:happy-path` to query uploaded content after upload, document read, and parse artifact read.
+- Updated README and local infra docs so the source-run smoke is described as a full query evidence check.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- Red: script tests required `/queries`, bounded SSE reads, uploaded evidence text, and README query evidence documentation.
+- Green: added `requestSse()`, `LOCAL_SMOKE_MAX_SSE_BYTES`, evidence assertions, and query evidence output in the smoke summary.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- SSE response reading is explicitly byte bounded and does not use `response.text()`.
+- The smoke uses a single query request after ingestion; no polling loop or unbounded fanout was added.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Passed:

+# Queryable Ingestion Sync Node Generation
+
+## Summary
+
+- Started the Queryable Ingestion Track in `.harness/docs/iteration-plan.md`.
+- Wired synchronous document upload to the incremental reindexer when a compute runtime is explicitly injected.
+- Preserved the existing no-compute fallback: uploads still parse and persist artifacts without attempting unavailable WASM chunking.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- Red: added a gateway upload test proving injected compute was not called and no `KnowledgeNode` was created.
+- Green: added bounded synchronous reindex wiring and a `maxSynchronousUploadNodes` guard.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- Node creation is bounded by `maxSynchronousUploadNodes`, defaulting to `20_000`.
+- The upload path continues to reuse already-read bytes and does not re-read object storage.
+- No additional database fanout is introduced; the reindexer performs one artifact write plus one bounded node batch write.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Passed:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/gateway.test.ts`
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api typecheck`
+  - `pnpm check`
+  - `pnpm build`

+# Source API Env Loading
+
+## Summary
+
+- Completed DLR.4 from the Durable Local Runtime Track.
+- Updated the source API dev script so `pnpm dev:api` loads the root `.env` before starting `apps/api/src/server.ts`.
+- Documented that source-run API, migration, MinIO, and local auth settings share the same `.env` values.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- Red: API app script tests expected `--env-file-if-exists=../../.env`, `--import tsx`, and `--watch src/server.ts`; the existing script was only `tsx watch src/server.ts`.
+- Green: changed the script to Node's `.env` loader plus `tsx` import and watch mode.
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+- No runtime request path changed.
+- Loading `.env` happens once at dev process startup and does not add request-time IO.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Passed:
+  - `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api-app test -- src/server-options.test.ts`
+  - `pnpm check`
+  - `pnpm build`
+  - `pnpm lint`

+# Split Document Bulk Gateway Tests
+
+Date: 2026-05-21
+Commit message: `Split document bulk gateway tests`
+Review checkpoint: `7e5f7e5`
+Implementation count since checkpoint: 4 / 10
+
+## Summary
+
+- Continued GF.4 by moving document bulk upload, bulk delete, deletion lifecycle, bulk reindex, and bulk job progress gateway scenarios into `packages/api/src/gateway-document-write.test.ts`.
+- Added a code-health guardrail that rejects keeping document bulk gateway tests in the cross-domain `gateway.test.ts` file and keeps that file under a bounded size ceiling.
+- Updated `.harness/docs/iteration-plan.md` to mark GF.4 done and queue GF.5 for document compilation gateway test extraction.
+
+## Performance And Safety Notes
+
+- Preserved the existing assertions for bulk file count/byte bounds, storage quota rejection, object cleanup, cascade delete caps, tenant isolation, and durable job progress.
+- No production code changed in this slice.
+- `gateway.test.ts` is still large; the next split should target document compilation route/job lifecycle tests.

+Commit message: `Split document compilation gateway tests`
+Review checkpoint: `7e5f7e5`
+Implementation count since checkpoint: 5 / 10
+
+## Summary
+
+- Continued GF.5 by moving document compilation job status and cancellation gateway route tests into `packages/api/src/gateway-document-compilation.test.ts`.
+- Added a code-health guardrail that rejects reintroducing the document compilation route test into the cross-domain `gateway.test.ts` file.
+- Updated `.harness/docs/iteration-plan.md` to mark GF.5 done and queue GF.6 for the heavier document compilation worker parse/reindex/publication scenarios.
+
+## Performance And Safety Notes
+
+- Preserved tenant isolation, read/write scope checks, cancellation behavior, and job queue cancellation assertions.

+# Split Document Write Gateway Tests
+
+Date: 2026-05-21
+Commit message: `Split document write gateway tests`
+Review checkpoint: `7e5f7e5`
+Implementation count since checkpoint: 3 / 10
+
+## Summary
+
+- Continued the API God File decomposition follow-up by splitting document write gateway integration tests out of `packages/api/src/gateway.test.ts`.
+- Added `packages/api/src/gateway-document-write.test.ts` for synchronous upload, trace/artifact readback, WASM-backed node generation, and durable document compilation job upload behavior.
+- Added a code-health guardrail that requires the document write gateway scenarios to stay outside the cross-domain gateway test file and keeps the current gateway test file under a bounded line-count ceiling.
+- Updated `.harness/docs/iteration-plan.md` to mark GF.3 done and queue GF.4 for bulk document operation test extraction.
+
+## Performance And Safety Notes
+
+- The split preserves existing assertions for bounded upload reads, object-storage write isolation, no object re-read during parsing, trace redaction, tenant-scoped reads, and durable job idempotency.
+- No production code changed in this slice.
+- The remaining bulk upload/delete/reindex tests still live in `gateway.test.ts`; GF.4 will move those next.

+# Admin Integration Live Paths
+
+## What Changed
+
+- Fixed the Admin upload form so it no longer submits the invalid default `sourceId=manual-upload`; `sourceId` remains optional and is only forwarded when the user provides a value.
+- Changed the Admin `Check parser` control from a no-op button to a real BFF health link.
+- Changed query citation links from the nonexistent `/api/bff/queries/{traceId}` path to the existing `/api/bff/traces/{traceId}` path.
+- Aligned Admin BFF graph and KnowledgeFS allowlist methods with the Hono API/client contract by forwarding GET requests instead of POST bodies for those live read routes.
+- Replaced the bare upload `status 404` message with a configuration-oriented error that points at `NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL` and API startup.
+- Added a focused Admin-to-API integration test covering upload through the Admin redirect handler, BFF default workspace bootstrap, Hono document upload, and parse artifact read.
+- Documented how to diagnose a local port conflict where Admin points at `localhost:8787` but another service, not the KnowledgeFS API, is answering.
+
+## Why
+
+- The Admin page exposed controls that looked live but could fail because the frontend defaults or BFF methods did not match backend contracts.
+- The user-reported upload failure needed a regression test that exercises the real Admin/BFF/API path, not only isolated mocks.
+- Keeping read-style BFF routes GET-only reduces accidental body forwarding and keeps the BFF allowlist tighter.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin test -- app/page.test.tsx lib/bff.test.ts`
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin test -- lib/upload-action.test.ts app/page.test.tsx lib/bff.test.ts`
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/admin-bff-integration.test.ts`
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api typecheck`

+- `pnpm build`
+- `pnpm lint`
+- `cargo test --workspace`
+- `pnpm wasm:build`
+- `pnpm compose:config`
+- `docker compose --profile apps config`
+- `git diff --check`
+- Browser-adjacent source-render check with `curl --max-time 5 http://localhost:3100` confirmed the Admin HTML no longer contains `manual-upload` and exposes `/api/bff/health`; the in-app browser automation timed out while loading the local dev tab, so the DOM was verified through the rendered HTML response instead.
+
+## Known Risks / Follow-Up
+
+- Several Admin panels are still intentionally preview data. AIR.2 will either route remaining visible controls through dedicated JSON-transforming handlers or make preview-only controls non-submitting so they cannot imply completed product behavior.

+# Admin Local API Base Wiring
+
+## What Changed
+
+- Changed source-local API defaults from port `8787` to `8788` to avoid collisions with workerd-based local services.
+- Split Admin API configuration into server-side `KNOWLEDGE_API_BASE_URL` and public/display `NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL`.
+- Updated the Admin source dev script so `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin dev` loads the root `.env` before starting Next.
+- Updated Compose so the Admin container calls the API service through `http://api:8787` while the UI displays the host API port.
+- Added bounded defaults for KnowledgeSpace and GoldenQuestion list query limits so missing `limit` no longer produces a `NaN` validation error.
+- Updated the local `.env` in this workspace to point Admin and API at `http://localhost:8788`.
+
+## Why
+
+- The user's local `localhost:8787` was served by another project (`droploft-edge`), causing Admin health, BFF health, upload, and workspace bootstrap to hit the wrong API.
+- Compose had the same class of bug: server-side Admin code used a public localhost URL that cannot reach the API container.
+- Missing list limits should stay bounded but return a usable default instead of leaking low-level coercion details.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin test -- lib/api-client.test.ts app/page.test.tsx app/document-pages.test.tsx lib/upload-action.test.ts`
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api-app test -- src/server-options.test.ts`
+- `pnpm compose:apps:test`
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/knowledge-space-golden-question-schemas.test.ts src/gateway.test.ts src/admin-bff-integration.test.ts`
+- Local live check with API on `8788` and Admin on `3100`:
+  - `GET http://localhost:8788/health` returned KnowledgeFS component health.
+  - `GET http://localhost:3100/api/bff/health` returned KnowledgeFS component health.
+  - `POST http://localhost:3100/api/admin-upload` returned a `303` redirect with `uploadStatus=success` and `parserStatus=parsed`.
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin test -- admin-dockerfile.test.ts`
+
+## Known Risks / Follow-Up
+
+- Existing developer machines with an old ignored `.env` must update `API_PORT`, `KNOWLEDGE_API_BASE_URL`, and `NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL` to the same host-visible API port.
+- Already-running Admin dev servers must be restarted after `.env` changes because Next reads process env at startup.
+- AIR.3 still needs to audit preview-only Admin panels so visible controls do not imply unimplemented live behavior.

+# Admin Control Plane Panel
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added read-only Admin API client methods for `GET /knowledge-spaces/{id}/manifest` and `GET /knowledge-spaces/{id}/status`.
+- Extended the Admin BFF allowlist so only `GET` manifest/status control-plane routes can be proxied.
+- Added a Control plane panel to the Admin home page showing manifest version, storage provider, object prefix, parser policy, projection set version, storage usage, document count, and active sessions.
+- Kept unavailable states explicit when the API cannot provide manifest/status data during server render.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- Added Admin client coverage proving manifest/status requests are authenticated, bounded through the shared JSON reader, and parsed into UI-safe records.
+- Added BFF coverage proving read-only manifest/status routes are allowed and mutation attempts remain rejected.
+- Extended Admin page tests to assert manifest/status loads use the active workspace id and public display still stays separate from the private upstream base.

+# Admin FSCK Dry-Run Surface

+## Summary
+
+- Added a bounded Admin API client method for `GET /knowledge-spaces/{id}/fsck`.

+
+## TDD Notes

+# Admin Operation Diagnostics
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added a read-only `GET /knowledge-spaces/{id}/leases/active` API route for bounded active KnowledgeFS lease diagnostics.
+- Reused the existing staged commit diagnostics route for failed commit visibility from Admin.
+- Extended the Admin API client with bounded `listStagedCommits()` and `listActiveLeases()` methods.
+- Extended the Admin BFF allowlist for read-only staged commit and active lease diagnostics.
+- Added an Operations diagnostics panel showing failed commit and active lease page counts, cursor availability, and compact current-page rows.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- API diagnostics coverage now checks active lease list access, limit enforcement, and OpenAPI path exposure.
+- Admin client coverage proves both diagnostics lists are fetched with explicit limits.

+- Added a Staged object GC panel showing dry-run candidate counts, estimated bytes, dry-run id, cursor availability, and compact candidate rows.

+# Artifact Segment Database Schema
+
+Date: 2026-05-27
+
+## Summary
+
+Completed JH.2.4 by adding durable database schema and migration artifacts for
+artifact segments.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Added `artifact_segments` to the database schema catalog.
+- Added cascade foreign keys to KnowledgeSpace, DocumentAsset, and ParseArtifact.
+- Added columns for segment index/type, artifact hash, segment checksum, optional
+  object key, optional bounded inline text, content encoding, size, offsets,
+  source location, metadata, and timestamps.
+- Added indexes for:
+  - unique `(parse_artifact_id, segment_index)`;
+  - stable artifact segment pagination by `(knowledge_space_id, parse_artifact_id, segment_index, id)`;
+  - checksum lookup by `(knowledge_space_id, checksum, id)`;
+  - source document lookup by `(document_asset_id, start_offset, id)`.
+- Regenerated PostgreSQL and TiDB initial schema migration artifacts.
+
+## Verification

+- Artifact segments now capture:
+  - tenant-independent KnowledgeSpace/document/artifact identity;
+  - stable `segmentIndex` and `segmentType`;
+  - artifact hash and per-segment checksum;
+  - bounded `inlineText` with a 64 KiB maximum;
+  - optional immutable `objectKey` using the existing safe object key contract;
+  - size, source offsets, source location, metadata, and timestamps.
+- Added validation that each segment has either `inlineText` or `objectKey`.
+- Added validation that segment `endOffset` cannot precede `startOffset`.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/core test -- src/models.test.ts`
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/core typecheck`
+- `git diff --check`
+
+## Known Follow-Ups
+
+- The API repository contract, database schema, and parser write path are still
+  planned in JH.2.3 through JH.2.5.
+- Segment-backed `cat`, `grep`, and compatibility reads remain planned for later
+  JH.2 iterations.

+# Artifact Segment Repository
+
+Date: 2026-05-27
+
+## Summary
+
+Completed JH.2.3 by adding the API repository contract and in-memory implementation
+for bounded artifact segments.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Added `ArtifactSegmentRepository` with:
+  - `createMany` for bounded batch writes;
+  - `listByArtifact` for stable `parseArtifactId` plus `segmentIndex` pagination;
+  - `listByChecksum` for hash-based lookup inside a KnowledgeSpace.
+- Added in-memory repository bounds for max segments, batch size, and list limit.
+- Added duplicate protection for `(knowledgeSpaceId, parseArtifactId, segmentIndex)`.
+- Added clone isolation for created and listed segments.
+- Exported the repository from the API package barrel.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/artifact-segment-repository.test.ts`
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api typecheck`
+- `git diff --check`
+
+The targeted test command ran the API package test suite and passed.
+
+## Known Follow-Ups
+
+- Durable database schema and SQL-backed repository behavior are planned in JH.2.4.
+- Parser output is not yet written into segments; that starts in JH.2.5.

+# Control Plane Diagnostics
+
+Date: 2026-05-27
+
+## Summary
+
+Completed JH.1.8 from the JuiceFS-inspired hardening plan by exposing read-only
+KnowledgeSpace control-plane diagnostics through the API.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Added `GET /knowledge-spaces/{id}/manifest` for tenant-scoped manifest inspection.
+- Added `GET /knowledge-spaces/{id}/staged-commits` for bounded, tenant-scoped
+  staged commit diagnostics with optional status filtering.
+- Wired the gateway to use a default in-memory staged commit repository when no
+  durable implementation is injected.
+- Added OpenAPI response schemas for manifests and staged commits.
+- Added gateway tests proving:
+  - legacy spaces lazily expose a default manifest through the read-only route;
+  - the manifest endpoint is not writable by accidental `PATCH`;
+  - staged commit diagnostics are filtered and paginated through repository bounds;
+  - over-limit diagnostic reads return `400`.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/knowledge-space-control-plane-diagnostics.test.ts`
+
+The targeted command ran the package test suite and passed.
+
+## Known Follow-Ups
+
+- The diagnostics currently use repository interfaces and in-memory defaults. A
+  database-backed manifest and staged commit repository is still needed before
+  durable deployments can retain this state across process restarts.
+- These routes are API-level diagnostics only. Admin/MCP operator surfaces are
+  still planned in JH.7.

+# Immutable Upload Publication Foundation
+
+Date: 2026-05-27
+
+## Summary
+
+Completed the first JH.2.1 slice by making the synchronous single-document upload path
+record staged commit state and verify the uploaded object before publishing document
+metadata.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Single-document uploads now create a `document-upload` staged commit before object
+  storage writes.
+- Uploaded objects are verified with `headObject` for existence, size, and checksum
+  metadata before `DocumentAsset` creation.
+- Unverified staged objects are cleaned up and the commit is marked
+  `failed-retryable` with `object_verification_failed`.
+- Successful synchronous uploads transition the staged commit through object,
+  metadata, artifact, and published states.
+- Synchronous parser failures keep the raw object and visible failed asset while
+  marking the staged commit `failed-terminal` with `parser_failed`.
+- The gateway now passes the staged commit repository and clock into document write
+  handlers.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/gateway-document-write.test.ts`
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api typecheck`
+- `git diff --check`
+

+
+## Known Follow-Ups
+
+- Bulk uploads and durable compilation workers still need staged commit lifecycle
+  integration.
+- The staged commit repository is still in-memory by default until durable
+  repository implementations are added.
+- Object verification currently relies on stored metadata and size. Content digest
+  re-read verification can be added behind an explicit cost/latency policy.

+# JuiceFS-Inspired Hardening Final Validation

+
+## Summary
+
+- Expanded `KnowledgePathResolutionCacheInput` so cache keys include tenant id, KnowledgeSpace id,

+  path, and optional target version.

+# KnowledgeSpace Manifest Foundation
+
+## What Changed
+
+- Added the core `KnowledgeSpaceManifest` domain model with explicit storage provider,
+  metadata dialect, object key prefix, parser/node/projection versions, retention policy,
+  quota policy, consistency policy, encryption policy, and manifest version fields.
+- Added `createDefaultKnowledgeSpaceManifest` for deterministic default manifest creation.
+- Added a bounded in-memory `KnowledgeSpaceManifestRepository` with clone isolation,
+  tenant/space scoping, stable pagination, mutable-policy updates, duplicate protection,
+  and capacity guards.
+- Added a manifest bootstrap flow that creates a default manifest when a new
+  KnowledgeSpace is created and lazily creates one when a legacy KnowledgeSpace is read.
+- Added `knowledge_space_manifests` to the database schema catalog with a cascade foreign
+  key to `knowledge_spaces`, tenant/space uniqueness, and stable pagination indexes.
+- Regenerated PostgreSQL and TiDB initial migration artifacts.
+
+## Why
+
+The JuiceFS-inspired hardening plan makes metadata the operational control plane for
+KnowledgeFS. A first-class KnowledgeSpace manifest gives later staged commits, artifact
+segments, consistency classes, fsck/gc, quota, and projection publication work a stable
+place to anchor storage, version, cache, retention, and compatibility decisions.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/core test -- src/models.test.ts`
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/knowledge-space-manifest-repository.test.ts src/knowledge-space-manifest-bootstrap.test.ts`

+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/database typecheck`
+- `pnpm db:migrations:check`
+- `git diff --check`
+
+## Known Risks And Follow-Up
+
+- The first durable slice adds schema support but does not yet add a database-backed
+  manifest repository. Durable source-run deployments can persist the table once that
+  repository is added in a follow-up slice.
+- The manifest is bootstrapped internally but is not yet exposed through a public
+  operator API. That belongs with the later status/fsck/operator tracks.

+# KnowledgeSpace Operator Routes
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added API routes for the JH.5 operator surface:
+  - `GET /knowledge-spaces/{id}/fsck`
+  - `GET /knowledge-spaces/{id}/gc/staged-objects`
+  - `POST /knowledge-spaces/{id}/gc/staged-objects/execute`
+  - existing `status` and `stats` routes are now covered as part of the full operator API surface.
+- Wired fsck routes to the raw object, artifact segment, and reference checkers with bounded per-run limits.
+- Wired staged object GC dry-run to the existing GC preview service and staged object GC mutation to the lease-aware executor.
+- Added OpenAPI response schemas for fsck reports, GC dry-run reports, and staged object GC execution results.
+- Extended gateway options with a GC dry-run id generator so tests and deployments can keep reports auditable.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- Added route-level coverage proving:
+  - OpenAPI documents fsck, GC, status, and stats paths.
+  - fsck and GC dry-run are read-scope endpoints.
+  - staged object GC execute requires write scope.
+  - requests are tenant-scoped and return 404 for spaces outside the subject tenant.
+  - staged object GC execute deletes only the candidates supplied by the dry-run contract.

+# KnowledgeSpace Quota Admission
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added a KnowledgeSpace quota admission helper that enforces manifest quota limits for raw document bytes, artifact bytes, segment count, node count, and projection count.
+- Admission checks skip usage reads when all supported manifest quota limits are disabled.
+- Admission checks fail closed when bounded usage reads are truncated, avoiding undercounted quota decisions.
+- Wired manifest quota admission into single and bulk document upload before object storage writes and staged commit publication.
+- Added a bulk reindex job-admission quota guard and documented the 413 response in the OpenAPI route contract.
+- Exported the admission helper from the API package for later job and workflow integrations.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- Added unit coverage proving:
+  - disabled supported limits do not read usage.
+  - projected usage above manifest quota limits is rejected.
+  - truncated bounded usage fails closed.
+- Extended document write gateway coverage proving:
+  - manifest raw-byte quota violations return `413`.

+# KnowledgeSpace Quota Usage Reader
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added a reusable KnowledgeSpace quota usage reader for bounded usage accounting across raw assets, parse artifacts, artifact segments, knowledge nodes, and projection summaries.
+- Exported the reader from the API package so later admission-control slices can enforce the expanded manifest quota policy without duplicating repository scans.
+- The reader reports raw document bytes/count from the asset usage aggregate, artifact segment bytes/count from current parse artifacts, node count from bounded node listing, projection count from low-cardinality projection summaries, and a `truncated` flag when any bounded read has more data.
+- Fixed numeric cursor handling for segment pagination by treating `nextCursor !== undefined` as the truncation signal.

+# KnowledgeFS Staged Object GC Mutation
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added the first mutation-side staged object GC executor behind the existing GC dry-run candidate contract.
+- Deletes only executable `staged-object` candidates with object keys, ignores non-object cleanup candidates, and returns per-item audit results with idempotency keys.
+- Enforces `maxDeletes` before mutating storage so an oversized batch cannot partially delete staged objects.
+- Uses KnowledgeFS operation leases when provided and skips candidates that conflict with active leases instead of deleting under concurrent publication.
+- Extended the lease target contract to include `staged-commit` so staged object cleanup can share the same concurrency model as publish/delete/reindex operations.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- Added failing API coverage first for lease-aware staged object deletion, active lease conflict skipping, and per-item audit output.
+- Added bounded mutation coverage proving `maxDeletes` is checked before any object deletion occurs.
+- Added core model coverage proving `KnowledgeFsLeaseSchema` accepts `staged-commit` lease targets.

+# Legacy Parse Artifact Compatibility
+
+Date: 2026-05-27
+
+## Summary
+
+Completed JH.2.8 by adding a bounded compatibility path for artifact reads when
+new artifact segment rows are absent.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Added `ParseArtifactRepository.getById` to support artifact-path compatibility
+  reads by `targetId`.
+- Implemented in-memory and database-backed `getById` behavior.
+- Added KnowledgeFS `cat` fallback for artifact paths with no segment rows.
+- Legacy fallback pages over parse artifact elements using the same numeric cursor
+  convention as segment-backed reads.
+- Wired the parse artifact repository into KnowledgeFS command registry and gateway
+  construction.
+- Added repository and command tests covering `getById` and bounded legacy cat.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/knowledge-fs-command-registry.test.ts src/parse-artifact-repository.test.ts`
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api typecheck`
+- `git diff --check`
+
+The targeted test command ran the API package test suite and passed.
+
+## Known Follow-Ups
+
+- Legacy fallback currently covers `cat`. Segment-backed `grep`/`find` are available
+  for segment rows; old parse artifact grep fallback can be added if migration
+  feedback shows a need.
+- Database-backed artifact segment repository operations are still not implemented.

+# MCP Snapshot Consistency Option

+- Added optional `snapshotFingerprint` inputs to MCP KnowledgeFS read/search/shell tool schemas.
+- Added optional `snapshotFingerprint` to workspace snapshot replay input.
+- Replay now returns `null` when the requested snapshot fingerprint does not match the stored snapshot.
+- Existing calls remain compatible because the new fingerprint is optional.

+- Added optional MCP operator tools:
+  - `knowledge.space.status`

+- Kept the tools optional behind `createKnowledgeMcpServer({ operator })`, matching the existing research and workspace snapshot extension pattern.

+# Parser Output Artifact Segments
+
+Date: 2026-05-27
+
+## Summary
+
+Completed the JH.2.5 MVP slice by writing parser output into artifact segments for
+the synchronous Markdown/HTML upload path while preserving existing `ParseArtifact`
+behavior.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Added gateway options for `artifactSegments` and `generateArtifactSegmentId`.
+- Added a default in-memory artifact segment repository to the API gateway.
+- Wired document write handlers to create text-backed artifact segments after a
+  parse artifact is successfully persisted or reindexed.
+- Segment rows include artifact/document identity, segment index/type, checksum,
+  inline text, source offsets, source location, element metadata, and timestamps.
+- Added upload integration coverage proving the existing parse artifact remains
+  readable and a corresponding segment is created.
+
+## Verification

+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/gateway-document-write.test.ts src/artifact-segment-repository.test.ts`
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api typecheck`
+- `git diff --check`
+
+The targeted test command ran the API package test suite and passed.
+
+## Known Follow-Ups
+
+- Durable compilation workers still need segment writing.
+- Segment-backed KnowledgeFS `cat` and `grep` remain planned for JH.2.6 and JH.2.7.
+- The current MVP writes inline text segments only; object-backed large segment
+  spillover remains a later hardening step.

+- Supported lifecycle operations now cover:
+  - `candidate` creation.
+  - `candidate -> validating`.
+  - `candidate|validating -> published`.
+  - automatic published-set superseding.
+  - rollback from a superseded fingerprint back to published.
+  - candidate/inactive cleanup through `inactive`.
+- Exported the repository from the API package for follow-up retrieval publication wiring.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- Added repository coverage proving:
+  - validated candidates can publish.
+  - publishing a newer candidate supersedes the prior published fingerprint.
+  - rollback restores a previously superseded fingerprint and supersedes the bad current one.
+  - candidates can become inactive.
+  - inactive or invalid fingerprints reject unsafe transitions.

+# Projection Publication Rollback Workflow
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added a small ProjectionSet publication workflow over the publication repository.
+- Rollback captures the previously published fingerprint, restores the requested prior fingerprint, and supersedes the bad current fingerprint.
+- The workflow only changes publication records; it does not call parsers, builders, reindexers, or projection rebuild paths.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- Added workflow coverage proving:
+  - rollback restores a previously published fingerprint.
+  - the restored projection set keeps its original projection version.
+  - the bad current projection set becomes superseded by the restored fingerprint.

+# Projection Set Fingerprint Domain Model
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added core ProjectionSet fingerprint material schemas for projection configs and source snapshots.
+- Added `buildProjectionSetFingerprint()` using normalized material, stable JSON, and SHA-256.
+- Normalized projection configs and source snapshots before hashing so caller ordering does not change the fingerprint.
+- Fingerprint material now groups the projection model, projection strategy, projection version, parser policy version, chunker version, node schema version, index version, projection set version, and source document snapshot checksums.
+
+## TDD Notes
+
+- Added core model coverage proving:
+  - projection set fingerprint material validates the required model/strategy/version/source fields.
+  - reordered projections and source snapshots produce the same fingerprint.
+  - parser policy changes produce a different fingerprint.

+# Retrieval Projection Fingerprint Filtering

+## Summary
+
+- Added projection set read-mode fields to hybrid retrieval input.
+- Added retrieval candidate filtering by `metadata.projectionSetFingerprint`.

+# Segment-Backed KnowledgeFS Cat
+
+Date: 2026-05-27
+
+## Summary
+
+Completed the JH.2.6 command-level slice by allowing `cat` to read artifact paths
+from bounded artifact segment pages.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Wired `artifactSegments` into the KnowledgeFS command registry.
+- Added artifact-path support to `cat`.
+- Added optional `limit` and `cursor` support to cat input and route query parsing.
+- Added `nextCursor` to cat responses.
+- Segment-backed cat now:
+  - reads segments by `(knowledgeSpaceId, parseArtifactId, segmentIndex)`;
+  - concatenates inline text or object-backed segment bodies;
+  - returns `truncated` and `nextCursor` when more segment pages remain;
+  - preserves 404 behavior for artifact paths without segment data.
+- Threaded artifact segment support through `diff`, because diff reuses cat internally.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/knowledge-fs-command-registry.test.ts`
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api typecheck`
+- `git diff --check`
+
+The targeted test command ran the API package test suite and passed.
+
+## Known Follow-Ups
+
+- Route-level cat pagination has schema support, but broader API integration tests
+  can be added when Admin/MCP surfaces start consuming artifact paths directly.
+- Segment-aware `grep` and `find` remain planned in JH.2.7.
+- Legacy parse artifacts without segments still need explicit compatibility fallback
+  in JH.2.8.

+# Segment-Backed Find Fallback
+
+Date: 2026-05-27
+
+## Summary
+
+Closed JH.2.7 by adding a bounded segment-aware `find` fallback for exact artifact
+paths.
+
+## Changes
+
+- `find` now detects exact artifact paths before falling back to physical descendant
+  path scans.
+- Artifact segment find supports stable `segmentIndex` cursors through the existing
+  artifact segment repository.
+- Segment find supports existing `find` filters:
+  - `resourceType=artifact`;
+  - `nameContains` against `segment-{index}`;
+  - `metadataKey` plus `metadataValue` against segment metadata.
+- Segment find returns resource entries with segment id, virtual anchor path, segment
+  index, segment type, and original segment metadata.
+- Existing path-backed `find` behavior remains unchanged.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/knowledge-fs-command-registry.test.ts`
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api typecheck`
+- `git diff --check`
+
+The targeted test command ran the API package test suite and passed.
+
+## Known Follow-Ups
+
+- Segment find currently operates on exact artifact paths. Broader descendant scans
+  can be added when semantic artifact path conventions are more mature.
+- Legacy parse artifact compatibility remains planned in JH.2.8.

+# Segment-Backed Grep Slice
+
+Date: 2026-05-27
+
+## Summary
+
+Advanced JH.2.7 by adding segment-backed `grep` for exact artifact paths.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Wired artifact segment access into KnowledgeFS `grep`.
+- Exact artifact paths now scan bounded artifact segment pages instead of requiring
+  KnowledgeNode rows.
+- Grep matches now support `kind: "segment"` with `segmentId`.
+- Segment grep returns stable cursors based on segment index and sets `truncated`
+  when more segment pages remain.
+- Node-backed grep behavior remains unchanged for physical path descendant scans.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/knowledge-fs-command-registry.test.ts`
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api typecheck`
+- `git diff --check`
+
+The targeted test command ran the API package test suite and passed.
+
+## Known Follow-Ups
+
+- JH.2.7 is not fully closed yet: segment-aware `find` fallback still needs a
+  focused slice.
+- Segment grep currently scans the returned segment page. Multi-page scanning across
+  nonmatching segments can be made more ergonomic once caller UX is defined.

+# Staged Commit Ledger Foundation
+
+## What Changed
+
+- Added the core `KnowledgeSpaceStagedCommit` model with operation type, status,
+  idempotency key, raw/published object keys, optional document/artifact references,
+  projection fingerprint, checksum, size, bounded error diagnostics, timestamps, and
+  expiry.
+- Added a bounded in-memory staged commit repository with tenant/space scoping,
+  idempotent create by scoped idempotency key, clone isolation, status filtering,
+  stable keyset pagination, capacity guards, and guarded status transitions.
+- Added `knowledge_space_staged_commits` to the database schema catalog with cascade
+  KnowledgeSpace ownership, optional document/artifact references, scoped idempotency
+  uniqueness, status recovery pagination, expiry cleanup, and document-history indexes.
+- Regenerated PostgreSQL and TiDB initial migration artifacts.
+
+## Why
+
+The JuiceFS-inspired hardening plan requires a durable ledger for partially completed
+ingestion and publication work. This foundation lets future upload, artifact segment,
+reindex, projection publish, fsck, and gc flows represent recoverable state explicitly
+instead of relying on implicit object-storage side effects.

+
+## Known Risks And Follow-Up
+
+- The first repository implementation is in-memory only. A database-backed staged commit
+  repository is needed before durable source-run ingestion can recover interrupted
+  commits across process restarts.
+- Upload and worker flows do not yet write staged commit records. That wiring belongs to
+  later immutable publication and fsck/gc slices.

+## Summary

+- Added `GET /knowledge-spaces/{id}/documents` as a bounded, tenant-scoped document asset list endpoint.

+- Changed the Admin document list page to read document assets directly instead of using `KnowledgeFS /fs/ls?path=/sources/documents`.

+# Admin Semantic Operator Actions
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added explicit API operator actions for semantic topic-view materialization and bootstrap entity extraction.
+- Wired the actions into the gateway at:
+  - `POST /knowledge-spaces/{id}/semantic-views/topic/materialize`
+  - `POST /knowledge-spaces/{id}/semantic-views/entities/extract`
+- Added Admin Console buttons in the `Semantic views` panel:
+  - `Materialize topic view`
+  - `Extract entities`
+- Extended the Admin API client and action route tests for the new operator submissions.
+- Updated the README Semantic views guide to describe when and how to run the actions.
+
+## Behavior
+
+`Materialize topic view` lists uploaded document assets and writes semantic
+KnowledgeFS paths under `/knowledge/by-topic/uploaded-documents/{assetId}` with
+fresh semantic-view metadata.
+
+`Extract entities` scans KnowledgeNodes, prefers the configured
+`EntityExtractionProvider`/LLM path, applies extraction quality controls, and
+invokes the graph index writer so `/knowledge/by-entity` becomes populated. If
+no provider is configured, it falls back to the bootstrap extractor to keep local
+operator smoke tests usable.
+
+## Verification

+
+`pnpm lint` was also run, but it failed on existing full-repository Biome
+diagnostics outside this change, including `apps/api/src/index.ts`,
+`packages/api/src/artifact-segment-repository.ts`, `packages/api/src/knowledge-fs-command-registry.ts`,
+and `packages/api/src/staged-commit-repository.ts`. The files changed for this
+operator action were checked with targeted `biome check --write`.
+
+## Risks And Follow-Up
+
+- The entity extractor is a deterministic bootstrap operator, not the final
+  LLM-backed extraction pipeline. It is intentionally useful for local operator
+  recovery and visibility, while future work can replace the extraction source
+  with provider-backed jobs.
+- The topic materializer currently creates a default uploaded-documents topic.
+  Future iterations can add richer topic inference and per-document topic
+  assignment.

+# Admin Semantic View Empty State
+
+## Summary
+
+- Updated the Admin Semantic views panel to distinguish unavailable data from reachable-but-empty semantic views.
+- When both `/knowledge/by-topic` and `/knowledge/by-entity` load successfully with zero entries, the panel now shows `Not materialized` instead of `Live`.
+- Replaced generic empty labels with next-step messages that explain topic-view materialization and entity extraction/graph indexing are required before entries appear.
+- Updated the README Admin Console guide with the same caveat.
+
+## Why
+
+Normal document upload creates document assets, parse artifacts, nodes, and projections, but it does not automatically materialize topic views or build graph entities. Showing an empty `Live` panel made that expected pipeline state look like data loss.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm exec biome check --write apps/admin/app/page.tsx apps/admin/app/page.test.tsx`
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin test -- app/page.test.tsx`
+
+## Risks And Follow-Up
+
+- This is a UI truthfulness fix, not automatic semantic materialization. A follow-up should wire explicit operator controls or jobs for topic-view materialization and entity extraction/graph indexing.

+# Admin Semantic View Readability
+
+## Summary
+
+- Replaced raw KnowledgeFS table rendering in the Admin `Semantic views` panel with purpose-built topic and entity summaries.
+- Topic rows now show a readable topic name, topic slug, and collection path.
+- Entity rows now show the entity name, type, source node count, and a shortened graph id instead of a full UUID as the main value.
+- Low-signal bare numeric metric entries are hidden from the Admin semantic entity table.
+- Updated the bootstrap semantic entity extractor so future runs do not turn plain numbers such as `0`, `04`, or `10` into graph metric entities. Metrics still include values with `%`, currency symbols, or units.
+- Updated the README Admin Console guide to describe the readable semantic summaries.
+
+## Why
+
+The previous panel showed the low-level virtual filesystem shape directly. That exposed UUIDs, `directory` kinds, and numeric bootstrap entities as primary content, which made the operator view hard to understand.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm exec biome check --write apps/admin/app/page.tsx apps/admin/app/page.test.tsx packages/api/src/semantic-operator-actions.ts packages/api/src/semantic-operator-actions.test.ts`

+- `git diff --check`
+- Browser verification at `http://127.0.0.1:3000/#semantic-views` confirmed the panel now shows `Readable entities` instead of the raw `Entity view` label.
+
+## Risks And Follow-Up
+
+- Existing graph entries that were already extracted as bare numeric metrics may remain in storage until entity extraction is rerun or graph cleanup is applied. The Admin panel suppresses them from the operator view immediately.
+- The bootstrap extractor is still intentionally simple; provider-backed extraction should eventually produce richer entity names and types.

+# KnowledgeSpace Status Storage Health Guard
+
+## Summary
+
+- Hardened `GET /knowledge-spaces/{id}/status` so object-storage health probe failures no longer fail the whole status endpoint.

+# LLM-backed semantic entity extraction
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added a reusable `createLlmEntityExtractionProvider()` adapter that turns
+  strict JSON LLM output into the existing `EntityExtractionProvider` contract.
+- Wired the Semantic views `Extract entities` operator to prefer the provider
+  extraction flow, then apply extraction quality controls before graph indexing.
+- Added a semantic ingestion post-processor so synchronous compute-backed uploads
+  and durable document compilation workers can populate entity graph views from
+  the same provider extraction flow.
+- Added Node API environment configuration for OpenAI or Anthropic-backed
+  semantic entity extraction.
+- Removed the bootstrap extractor fallback from the operator path so semantic
+  graph data is not polluted by regex-derived numbers, ids, or generic words.
+
+## Usage
+
+- `OPENAI_API_KEY` enables OpenAI-backed extraction by default.
+- `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` enables Anthropic-backed extraction when OpenAI is not
+  configured.
+- `KNOWLEDGE_ENTITY_EXTRACTION_PROVIDER=openai|anthropic|off` pins or disables
+  the provider selection.
+- `KNOWLEDGE_ENTITY_EXTRACTION_MODEL` overrides the default extraction model.
+- `KNOWLEDGE_ENTITY_EXTRACTION_MAX_ENTITIES_PER_NODE` limits per-node output.
+- `KNOWLEDGE_ENTITY_EXTRACTION_MAX_NODES_PER_RUN` bounds each operator or
+  ingestion semantic extraction batch.
+- `KNOWLEDGE_ENTITY_EXTRACTION_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS` limits the LLM response size.
+- `KNOWLEDGE_RELATION_EXTRACTION_MODEL` and
+  `KNOWLEDGE_RELATION_EXTRACTION_MAX_RELATIONS_PER_NODE` tune relation
+  extraction.
+- `KNOWLEDGE_COMMUNITY_SUMMARY_MODEL` tunes LLM community summaries.
+
+## Rationale
+
+The previous operator path used regex/bootstrap extraction to make semantic
+views demonstrable, but it was too noisy for real documents. Reusing the
+existing provider extraction flow keeps explicit Admin actions aligned with the
+summary-tree style provider architecture and makes entity output explainable,
+typed, confidence-scored, and graph-ready.
+
+Without an LLM provider, semantic extraction now fails closed instead of writing
+bootstrap graph entries.

+# Semantic community view materialization
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added a KnowledgeFS semantic community root at `/knowledge/by-community`.
+- Added a bounded semantic community materializer that builds communities from
+  graph relations plus entity co-occurrence fallback, writes community summary
+  paths, and links source documents under each community.
+- Wired ingestion-time semantic post-processing to materialize communities after
+  LLM-backed entity extraction, relation extraction, and graph indexing.
+- Added an explicit Admin/API operator action:
+  `POST /knowledge-spaces/{id}/semantic-views/communities/materialize`.
+- Updated Admin Semantic views to show topic groups, readable entities, and
+  knowledge communities with summaries and counts.
+
+## Operator Flow
+
+1. Upload or compile a document.
+2. Semantic ingestion post-processing extracts entities and relations from
+   generated knowledge nodes when an LLM provider is configured.
+3. The graph index writer stores canonical entities and typed relations.
+4. The community materializer groups related entities into connected
+   components, asks the configured LLM provider for a short community summary,
+   and writes `/knowledge/by-community/{slug}` plus document child paths.
+5. Admin can re-run `Extract entities` and `Materialize communities` manually for
+   backfill.

+# Semantic extract action feedback
+
+## Summary
+
+- Changed the Admin `Extract entities` action to run community materialization
+  immediately after entity extraction succeeds.
+- Returned a client-visible `400` error when semantic entity extraction is
+  requested without an LLM provider, instead of falling through to the generic
+  gateway `500` handler.
+- Updated the Admin API client to read bounded `{ "error": "..." }` response
+  bodies from failed API calls and surface the real message in Admin notices.
+- Added semantic LLM environment placeholders to `.env.example` and passed them
+  through to the Docker API service in `compose.yaml`.
+
+## Why
+
+Clicking `Extract entities` could appear to do nothing when the API was missing
+LLM configuration or when users expected communities to refresh as part of the
+same semantic graph rebuild. The UI now gives a clear configuration error, and a
+successful extraction also refreshes `/knowledge/by-community`.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin test -- app/admin-action-routes.test.ts lib/api-client.test.ts`
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test -- src/gateway-document-write.test.ts src/semantic-operator-actions.test.ts`

+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api-app typecheck`
+- `docker-compose --env-file .env.example -f compose.yaml config`
+- `git diff --check`
+
+## Risks and follow-up
+
+- If neither `OPENAI_API_KEY` nor `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` is configured for the API
+  process, semantic extraction still cannot generate entities. This is now
+  reported explicitly as an operator configuration error.

+# Admin graph row key collision
+
+## Summary
+
+- Added dedicated row key helpers for Admin live data rows, including graph
+  entity and relation traversal rows.
+- Updated the Entity browser to include traversal position in graph row keys so
+  duplicate graph entity or relation ids do not trigger React duplicate-key
+  warnings.
+- Removed remaining bare UUID React keys from Admin live lists, workspace
+  options, document rows, parse artifact elements, golden questions, trace
+  steps, and semantic diff changes.
+- Added regression tests for duplicate graph ids and duplicate generic row ids.
+
+## Why
+
+Live Admin APIs can surface duplicate ids inside bounded diagnostic or traversal
+pages, especially while projections are being rebuilt. The Admin UI previously
+used raw ids as React keys in several lists, which caused duplicate-key warnings
+and unsupported reconciliation behavior.

+# Swagger UI Dev Tool
+
+## What Changed
+
+- Added `tools/swagger/`, a standalone dev-only Swagger UI for the Knowledge
+  Gateway's OpenAPI document:
+  - `server.mjs` — a dependency-free same-origin reverse proxy built on
+    `node:http`. It serves a Swagger UI shell at `/` (assets loaded from the
+    jsDelivr CDN, pinned to `swagger-ui-dist@5.30.2`) and streams every other
+    request through to the gateway, including `/openapi.json` and "Try it out"
+    calls.
+  - `server.test.mjs` — `node --test` suite covering routing, upstream URL
+    joining, HTML rendering, request/response forwarding (method/body/status),
+    and the unreachable-gateway 502 path.
+  - `README.md` — usage, env overrides, and design notes.
+- Wired root `package.json` scripts: `swagger` (run) and `swagger:test`
+  (`node --test`), mirroring the existing `wasm:build` / `wasm:build:test`
+  convention. Added `pnpm swagger:test` to the `check` gate.
+- Documented `pnpm swagger` in the README "Local Development" section.
+
+## Why It Changed
+
+The gateway exposes `/openapi.json` but had no browsable API explorer. A Swagger
+UI makes the OpenAPI surface easy to inspect and exercise during development.
+
+Two constraints shaped the design:
+
+- The gateway sends no CORS headers, so a cross-origin Swagger UI cannot fetch
+  the spec or run "Try it out". Serving the UI and proxying the spec from the
+  same origin sidesteps this without changing the gateway.
+- The gateway emits `openapi: 3.1.0`; Swagger UI builds older than 5.x fail to
+  render 3.1 documents. The CDN reference is pinned to a 5.x release.
+
+The tool is deliberately kept out of the pnpm workspace (`apps/*`, `packages/*`)
+and the API surface: it is dev-only, adds no runtime dependency, and vendors no
+assets — consistent with the repo's no-committed-artifacts / minimal-dependency
+posture.
+
+## Verification
+
+- RED first:
+  - `node --test tools/swagger/server.test.mjs` failed because `server.mjs` did
+    not yet exist (import error).
+- GREEN:
+  - `pnpm swagger:test` — 5 tests pass.
+- Lint:
+  - `pnpm biome check tools/swagger` — clean (after formatter applied).
+- Manual end-to-end (gateway on :8787, `pnpm swagger` on :8088):
+  - `GET /` → 200 HTML referencing `cdn.jsdelivr.net/.../swagger-ui-dist@5.30.2`.
+  - `GET /openapi.json` (proxied) → 200, full spec body.
+  - `GET /health` (proxied) → 200 with in-memory component health.
+  - `GET /knowledge-spaces` (proxied) → 401, confirming gateway auth still
+    enforced through the proxy.
+- Full gate: `pnpm check`.
+
+## Performance And Reliability Notes
+
+- The proxy streams request and response bodies (`req.pipe` / `res.pipe`); it
+  never buffers whole bodies, so it adds no unbounded memory cost.
+- Hop-by-hop headers are stripped on both legs of the proxy.
+- Upstream errors surface as a bounded `502 gateway unreachable` text response
+  rather than hanging.
+- UI assets come from a CDN, so viewing the page requires internet access at
+  view time; nothing is vendored into the repository.

+# AWS Terraform scaffold + S3 IAM instance-role support
+
+## What Changed
+
+- Added `aws_terraform/README.md` — the target AWS architecture diagram for the
+  Standalone deployment (EC2 running `api` + `unstructured`, Aurora Serverless v2
+  PostgreSQL + pgvector, AWS S3 for object storage). Diagram and component/env
+  mapping only; **no Terraform code or runbook yet** (tracked in the doc's Status
+  checklist).
+- Documented the EC2 metadata options required for containerized IMDSv2
+  credential delivery (`http_put_response_hop_limit = 2`) so the API container
+  can use the instance role for S3.
+- Extended the Node object-storage adapter (`packages/adapters/src/node.ts`) to
+  support AWS IAM instance-role / default-credential-chain authentication:
+  - New exported helper `buildNodeS3ClientConfig(env, endpoint)` that returns the
+    `S3ClientConfig`. It includes static `credentials` **only when both**
+    `MINIO_ACCESS_KEY` and `MINIO_SECRET_KEY` are set; otherwise it omits them so
+    the AWS SDK resolves credentials via its default provider chain (EC2 instance
+    role, ECS task role, `AWS_*` env, etc.).
+  - `createNodeObjectStorageAdapter` now selects S3-compatible storage when
+    `MINIO_BUCKET` **and** `MINIO_ENDPOINT` are present (credentials optional),
+    instead of requiring all four of bucket/endpoint/access-key/secret.
+
+## Why It Changed
+
+The agreed AWS topology runs the API on EC2 and authenticates to S3 through an
+IAM instance role, which is the recommended AWS pattern (no long-lived access
+keys to inject or rotate). The previous adapter hard-required
+`MINIO_ACCESS_KEY` + `MINIO_SECRET_KEY`, so an instance-role deployment would
+silently fall back to bounded in-memory storage. Widening the gate to
+bucket+endpoint lets a credential-less, instance-role deployment use real S3.
+
+This preserves the "in-memory fallback must not masquerade as S3" guardrail: the
+adapter only reports `kind: "s3-compatible"` when it actually constructs an S3
+client (bucket+endpoint present); a genuinely incomplete config (missing endpoint
+or bucket) still returns an honest `kind: "memory"` adapter. The credential
+decision is isolated behind a small typed helper rather than inlined.
+
+Behavior change to note: a deployment that sets `MINIO_BUCKET` + `MINIO_ENDPOINT`
+but no credentials now gets a real S3 adapter (and will surface S3/credential
+errors on first call) instead of silently degrading to in-memory storage.
+
+## Verification
+
+- TDD: added 4 failing tests first (`packages/adapters/src/adapters.test.ts`),
+  confirmed RED for the expected reasons (`buildNodeS3ClientConfig` missing;
+  `kind` was `memory` instead of `s3-compatible`), then implemented to GREEN.
+  Tests cover: static-credentials config, credential-omitted (instance-role)
+  config, region default, and adapter selection with no credentials.
+- Updated the existing "incomplete env → memory" test to use a genuinely
+  incomplete config (missing endpoint) to match the new selection contract.
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/adapters test -- adapters` → 95 passed, 1 skipped.
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/adapters test:coverage` → aggregate 93.33% stmts /
+  91.51% branch / 96.4% funcs / 93.33% lines (all ≥ 90%).
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/adapters typecheck` and repo-wide `pnpm typecheck`
+  (18/18) pass.
+- `pnpm test` (turbo, all packages) → all green.
+- `biome check` clean on the changed source/test files.
+
+## Risks / Follow-ups
+
+- `pnpm lint` (repo-wide `biome check .`) is currently red on **pre-existing**
+  formatting/lint debt in `apps/admin`, `apps/api`, and `packages/api` files that
+  are unrelated to this change (introduced by earlier merges). Not fixed here to
+  keep this PR's diff focused. Worth a separate cleanup pass.
+- Terraform modules + deployment runbook are still TODO (`aws_terraform`).
+- Multi-instance scale-out will still need a shared cache (ElastiCache); the Node
+  cache adapter remains in-process. Tracked in `aws_terraform/README.md`.
+- Full Aurora CA/SSL verification (`ssl: { ca }`) is still not configurable on the
+  Postgres pool; instance-role work here does not address it.

+# Dense Embedding Retrieval And Ingest Wiring
+
+## What Changed
+
+Turns on the dense (semantic) half of hybrid retrieval end-to-end. Previously the
+dense path was stubbed: the hybrid query used a `[0]` placeholder vector and
+`searchDense` always returned `[]`, so "hybrid" retrieval was effectively
+FTS + rerank only.
+
+- `apps/api/src/embedding-options.ts` (new) — `createApiEmbeddingOptions()`
+  resolves the embedding provider/model from env (`KNOWLEDGE_EMBEDDING_PROVIDER`
+  = `openai` / `cohere` / `voyage` / `static` / `off`, with auto-detection from
+  `*_API_KEY` when unset). Returns `{}` (dense disabled) for `off` or when no key
+  is present; throws on an invalid provider name or a missing required key.
+- `apps/api/src/embedding-options.test.ts` (new) — covers provider selection,
+  defaults, disable path, and validation errors.
+- `apps/api/src/index.ts` — constructs `embeddingOptions`, passes
+  `embeddingModel` + `embeddings` to the hybrid query generator, swaps the
+  `searchDense: async () => []` stub for `retrievalRepository.searchDense`, spreads
+  `embeddingOptions` into the gateway, and reports `embedding` component health.
+- `packages/api/src/index.ts` (`createKnowledgeGateway`) — accepts
+  `embeddingProvider` + `denseEmbeddingModel`; when set, adds a
+  `createDenseVectorProjectionBuilder` to the incremental reindexer and threads
+  `synchronousUploadDenseModel` so synchronous-upload ingestion writes dense
+  projections. Throws if `embeddingProvider` is set without `denseEmbeddingModel`.
+- `packages/api/src/gateway-options.ts` — adds `embeddingProvider` +
+  `denseEmbeddingModel` to `KnowledgeGatewayOptions`.
+- `packages/api/src/hybrid-query-generator.ts` — embeds the query
+  (`inputType: "search_query"`) into a real `queryVector`; requires
+  `embeddingModel` when an embeddings provider is configured; falls back to an
+  empty vector when the embedder returns no dense vector.
+- `packages/api/src/hybrid-query-generator.test.ts` — adds the embed-query case.
+- `packages/api/src/document-write-handlers.ts` /
+  `packages/api/src/gateway-document-write.test.ts` — thread
+  `synchronousUploadDenseModel` into the reindexer.
+
+## Why It Changed
+
+The retrieval pipeline already fused FTS and dense candidates, but no embedding
+provider was wired in, so the dense side contributed nothing. This change makes
+dense retrieval and dense projection writing functional and configuration-gated,
+without altering behavior when embeddings are not configured.
+
+Carved out of the `feat/aws-terraform-and-s3-instance-role` working tree into its
+own branch/PR so the behavioral change is reviewed independently of the infra
+restructure (PR #8). Branched from `main`.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `@knowledge/api` tests: 608/608 pass.
+- `@knowledge/api-app` tests (incl. `embedding-options`): 41/41 pass.
+- Typecheck: passes (`pnpm check` reported all typecheck tasks successful).
+- Behavior is opt-in: with no embedding env (`embedding: false` in `/health`),
+  `createApiEmbeddingOptions()` returns `{}` and the pipeline behaves exactly as
+  before (FTS + rerank), so existing gateway/retrieval tests are unaffected.
+
+## Performance And Reliability Notes / Follow-ups
+
+- **Fixed 1536-dimension constraint (known limitation).** `index_projections.dense_vector`
+  is `vector(1536)` with an hnsw index, and nothing reconciles the provider's
+  output dimension with it. Only 1536-dimension models work as-is
+  (`openai text-embedding-3-small`, `cohere embed-v4`); `static` (default 384) and
+  `voyage-3` (1024) would fail at DB insert/search against real Postgres. Unit
+  tests use the in-memory projection repository, so this is not caught by
+  `pnpm check`. Operators must configure a 1536-dim model. Best-practice fix
+  (configurable/variable dimensions) tracked in issue #10.
+- **Coverage gate.** `pnpm check` fails the `@knowledge/api` branch-coverage
+  threshold (~89.26% vs 90%). This is **pre-existing on `main`** (measured on a
+  clean `origin/main` checkout) and spread across many unrelated files; this PR is
+  at parity and does not regress it. Raising coverage to ≥90% is a separate effort.

+# Native Gemini Embedding Provider
+
+## What Changed
+
+- Added `createGeminiEmbeddingProvider` to `@knowledge/embeddings`, calling Google's native `POST /v1beta/models/{model}:batchEmbedContents` endpoint.
+- Authenticates with the `x-goog-api-key` header (not `Authorization: Bearer`); generalized the shared HTTP embedding machinery to support per-provider auth (`apiKeyAuth: "bearer" | "google"`) and a per-model request path (`requestPath: (model) => string`).
+- Request bodies map each text to `{ content: { parts: [{ text }] }, model: "models/{model}", outputDimensionality }`. `gemini-embedding-2` does **not** accept the `task_type` field, so the task is encoded as a text instruction prefix derived from `EmbeddingInputType`: `search_query` → `task: search result | query: {text}`, `search_document` → `title: none | text: {text}`, `classification` → `task: classification | query: {text}`, `clustering` → `task: clustering | query: {text}` (default `search_document`).
+- Each request sends `outputDimensionality` equal to the registered model dimension (Matryoshka truncation), and the parser **L2-normalizes** every returned vector. `gemini-embedding-2` auto-normalizes sub-3072 dimensions, but the `index_projections.dense_vector` column is a fixed `vector(1536)` with a `vector_l2_ops` HNSW index — L2 distance only matches cosine ranking on unit-length vectors — so the provider re-normalizes to keep index correctness self-contained and independent of any provider promise.
+- Responses are parsed from the ordered `{ embeddings: [{ values: [...] }] }` shape and validated against the model dimension; normalized vectors are passed to `buildResult`, which clones at the ownership boundary. `batchEmbedContents` with one content per request returns one embedding per text (aggregation only happens within a single multi-part request).
+- Registered the default model `gemini-embedding-2` (GA, multimodal; 3072-dim native, 8192 input tokens) at **1536 dims** (cosine) to match the fixed `vector(1536)` column, so it works out of the box with the existing schema and HNSW index.
+- Fixed the `static` provider default dimension (`DEFAULT_STATIC_EMBEDDING_DIMENSION`) from 384 to 1536 so the no-API-key dev provider also fits the fixed `vector(1536)` column.
+- Wired `gemini` into `apps/api` `createApiEmbeddingOptions`: selectable via `KNOWLEDGE_EMBEDDING_PROVIDER=gemini` or auto-detected from `GEMINI_API_KEY`, with optional `GEMINI_BASE_URL` override; updated `normalizedProvider` and `requiredKey` accordingly.
+- Added `GEMINI_API_KEY` / `GEMINI_BASE_URL` passthrough to `infra/local/compose.yaml` and the env example files so Gemini is reachable in the Docker stack.
+
+## Why
+
+- User request: make the embedding provider support Google Gemini as a first-class provider via the native Gemini Developer API (`generativelanguage.googleapis.com`), with `gemini-embedding-2` as the default model.
+- `gemini-embedding-2` is the current GA multimodal Gemini embedding model and is available on the Developer API `batchEmbedContents` endpoint; its task-instruction-prefix scheme replaces the `task_type` enum used by `gemini-embedding-001`.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/embeddings test -- src/embedding.test.ts`
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/embeddings test:coverage`

+- `pnpm typecheck`
+- `pnpm lint`
+- `pnpm compose:config` && `pnpm compose:apps:test`
+- `git diff --check`
+
+## Known Risks / Follow-Up
+
+- Embedding dimension is fixed at 1536 to match the `vector(1536)` column. Other Gemini output dimensionalities (e.g. 768, 3072) would require altering the `index_projections.dense_vector` column and its HNSW index, which is a schema-migration concern out of scope here.
+- Pre-existing dimension mismatches remain for non-default models registered at other sizes (`voyage-3` at 1024, `text-embedding-3-large` at 3072); they would not fit the fixed `vector(1536)` column and are out of scope for this change.
+- The reranker layer is untouched; Gemini is an embedding provider only.

+# Native Gemini Generation Provider + LLM Answer Synthesis
+
+## What Changed
+
+- Added `createGeminiGenerativeProvider` to `@knowledge/generation`, calling Google's native `POST /v1beta/models/{model}:generateContent` (and `:streamGenerateContent?alt=sse` for streaming) endpoints. Authenticates with the `x-goog-api-key` header.
+  - Request bodies map chat messages to Gemini's `contents` shape: `system` messages are hoisted into `systemInstruction`, `assistant` turns become `role: "model"`, everything else `role: "user"`; `maxOutputTokens`/`temperature` go under `generationConfig`.
+  - Responses parse `candidates[0].content.parts[].text` (joined), `finishReason`, `modelVersion`, and map `usageMetadata` (`promptTokenCount`/`candidatesTokenCount`/`totalTokenCount`) into the shared `LlmUsage`. Streaming reuses the existing SSE reader and emits a terminal `done` event carrying the last `finishReason`/usage.
+  - Registered default generative models `gemini-2.5-flash` and `gemini-2.5-pro`.
+- Extended `LlmProviderKind` and the `LlmCostBreakdown`/`LlmGenerationMetadata` provider enums to include `gemini` (additive; existing providers unaffected).
+- Added `createLlmAnswerQueryGenerator` to `@knowledge/api`: an LLM-backed `QueryGenerator` that embeds the query, runs the same layered retriever + evidence-bundle assembly as the extractive generator, then streams a grounded answer from an injected provider with a cite-only-from-evidence system prompt. Falls back to a `no-retrieval-evidence` notice when retrieval is empty (the LLM is never called without evidence), caps streamed output at `maxAnswerChars`, and emits `metadata.generator = "llm-answer"` with citations, evidence bundle, plan, metrics, and provider finish reason. The provider is a **structural** interface, so `@knowledge/api` keeps no dependency on `@knowledge/generation`.
+- Added a shared `apps/api/src/generation-provider.ts` (`createChatProvider` + env helpers) building the concrete OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini chat provider for a kind, reused by both semantic extraction and answer wiring.
+- Wired `gemini` into semantic extraction (`createApiSemanticEntityExtractionOptions`): selectable via `KNOWLEDGE_ENTITY_EXTRACTION_PROVIDER=gemini` (explicit-only — `GEMINI_API_KEY` alone does **not** auto-enable, since it is also the embedding key). OpenAI/Anthropic auto-detect is unchanged.
+- Added a separate, explicit answer knob `createApiAnswerGenerationOptions` (`KNOWLEDGE_ANSWER_PROVIDER` = `openai|anthropic|gemini|off`, default unset → extractive answers preserved; `KNOWLEDGE_ANSWER_MODEL`, `KNOWLEDGE_ANSWER_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS`). `apps/api` selects `createLlmAnswerQueryGenerator` when configured, otherwise the existing `createHybridQueryGenerator`.
+- Added `KNOWLEDGE_ANSWER_*` passthrough to `infra/local/compose.yaml` and the env example; enabled `KNOWLEDGE_ANSWER_PROVIDER=gemini` in the local `infra/local/.env`.
+
+## Why
+
+- User request: make Gemini usable as the RAG **reasoning/generation** model, not only embeddings. Previously the generation layer supported only `openai`/`anthropic`/`static`, and the query answer path was purely extractive — Gemini was wired for embeddings alone.
+- Answer synthesis is gated behind its own knob so enabling semantic extraction (or merely holding an OpenAI/Anthropic key) never silently flips the answer endpoint from extractive to LLM-generated.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/generation test` (48 passed; new `createGeminiGenerativeProvider` generate/stream/role-mapping/fail-closed cases)
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api test` (611 passed; new `llm-answer-query-generator.test.ts`)
+- `pnpm --filter @knowledge/api-app test` (49 passed; new `answer-generation-options.test.ts`, extended `llm-options.test.ts`)
+- `pnpm typecheck` (generation, api, api-app)
+- `pnpm lint` (biome, changed files)
+- `node --test scripts/compose-apps.test.mjs scripts/compose-middleware.test.mjs`
+
+## Known Risks / Follow-Up
+
+- The structural `LlmAnswerProvider` (stream-only) is satisfied by `@knowledge/generation`'s `LlmProvider`; if that package's stream event shape diverges, the structural contract in `@knowledge/api` must be updated in lockstep.
+- Gemini `generateContent` blocked by safety returns no candidates → an empty answer (citations/evidence still attached); no automatic extractive fallback is performed in that case.
+- Enabling Gemini answers in the running stack requires rebuilding the `api` image (code change) and restarting with `KNOWLEDGE_ANSWER_PROVIDER=gemini`.
+- Generation cost tracking pricing is not registered for Gemini models; cost estimation for `gemini-*` would throw if the optional cost tracker is enabled (the answer path does not enable it).

+# Local Stack: pgvector Auto-Enable + Admin BFF Token
+
+## What Changed
+
+- `infra/local/postgres-init/01-enable-pgvector.sql` (new) — runs `CREATE
+  EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector;` on a fresh Postgres data volume via
+  `/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d`.
+- `infra/local/compose.yaml` and `infra/local/compose.middleware.yaml` — mount
+  `./postgres-init` into the `postgres` service at
+  `/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d:ro`.
+- `infra/local/compose.yaml` — the `admin` service now passes
+  `KNOWLEDGE_DEV_AUTH_TOKEN: ${KNOWLEDGE_DEV_AUTH_TOKEN:-dev-token}`, matching
+  the `api` service default so the Admin server-side BFF can authenticate.
+- `infra/local/README.md` — documented the pgvector init script, the explicit
+  migration step + manual `CREATE EXTENSION` fallback for pre-existing volumes,
+  the Admin container token, and the empty-database first-run behavior
+  (create a `workspace`-slug space; Publish readiness needs an upload).
+
+## Why It Changed
+
+Running the full Docker stack left the Admin Console showing Control plane,
+Operations diagnostics, and Publish readiness as "Unavailable". Root cause was
+two stacked problems:
+
+1. **Database never migrated, and could not be.** Migrations are not run by
+   compose, the API Dockerfile entrypoint, or on server startup. Running
+   `pnpm local:db:migrate` then failed with `type "vector" does not exist`:
+   migration `0001_initial_schema` uses `vector(1536)` + an `hnsw` index, but
+   nothing enabled the `pgvector` extension. The `pgvector/pgvector:pg16` image
+   ships the extension binaries but does not `CREATE EXTENSION` per database. CI
+   never caught this because `pnpm db:migrations:check` is a drift check
+   (regenerate SQL + diff), not a live apply against Postgres. The checked-in
+   migration must stay deterministic, so the extension is enabled out-of-band in
+   the local init script rather than in the migration SQL.
+2. **Admin BFF had no auth token.** The `admin` service ran with
+   `NODE_ENV=production` and no token env, so `getAdminServerToken()` returned
+   `null` and the page bailed out with "Admin API token is not configured"
+   before calling the API. `/health` is public (no token, no schema), which is
+   why System health stayed green while the token-gated, DB-backed panels did
+   not.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Before: `GET /knowledge-spaces` (Bearer dev-token) → 500; DB `\dt` → "Did not
+  find any relations"; rendered Admin HTML contained "Admin API token is not
+  configured" and 27 "Unavailable" badges.
+- Enabled extension on the running DB, then `pnpm local:db:migrate` →
+  `{"appliedMigrationIds":["0001_initial_schema"]}`.
+- `GET /knowledge-spaces` (Bearer dev-token) → `{"items":[]}` / 200.
+- Recreated the Admin container; `docker inspect` confirmed
+  `KNOWLEDGE_DEV_AUTH_TOKEN=dev-token`. Rendered Admin HTML: token banner gone,
+  Control plane and Operations diagnostics badges → "Live".
+- Created a `workspace`-slug knowledge space (201). Rendered Admin HTML: no error
+  banner; Control plane = Live, Operations diagnostics = Live. Publish readiness
+  remains "No document selected" by design until a document is uploaded.
+- `docker compose -f infra/local/compose.yaml --profile apps config` validates.
+
+## Risks / Follow-ups
+
+- The init script only runs on a **fresh** Postgres volume. Existing volumes
+  still need the one-time manual `CREATE EXTENSION` documented in the README.
+- This fixes the local Docker path only. Non-compose deployments (e.g. managed
+  Postgres) must ensure `pgvector` is enabled before migrating; consider making
+  the migration runner ensure the extension as a more universal follow-up.
+- No automated test asserts the extension prerequisite. The opt-in
+  `LOCAL_SMOKE_RUN_MIGRATIONS=1 pnpm local:happy-path` against a fresh volume
+  would now exercise it end-to-end.

+# Consolidated Iteration Plan Refresh
+
+## Summary
+
+Reorganized the active `.harness/docs` iteration plans into one current executable
+master plan and refreshed the RAG platform technical selection to reflect the current
+PageIndex-inspired outline and native multimodal KnowledgeFS contracts.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Added `.harness/docs/consolidated-iteration-plan.md` as the current detailed master
+  iteration plan, including source coverage, architecture guardrails, product target,
+  current-state summary, execution order, detailed milestones, acceptance criteria,
+  verification matrix, deferred scope, and immediate next slices.
+- Updated `.harness/docs/iteration-plan.md` to point readers to the consolidated plan
+  while preserving the historical architecture roadmap.
+- Updated `.harness/docs/rag-platform-redesign-technical-selection.md` with:
+  - current planning status and consolidated-plan pointer;
+  - `DocumentOutline` as a first-class PageIndex-inspired structure contract;
+  - `DocumentMultimodalManifest` as a first-class multimodal inventory contract;
+  - artifact segments, KnowledgeSpace manifests, staged commits, sessions/leases, and
+    projection set fingerprints in the data model;
+  - outline and multimodal stages in document compilation;
+  - visual asset vectors as an index projection type;
+  - KnowledgeFS resource layout for outline, multimodal manifest, figures, tables,
+    page thumbnails, and asset descriptors;
+  - fast/deep/research retrieval expectations for outline, multimodal, visual, graph,
+    and leaf evidence paths;
+  - Phase 4 implementation plan updates for outline-guided research, multimodal
+    manifests, visual embeddings, and VLM answer providers.
+
+## Notes
+
+Historical iteration plans were not deleted or rewritten. They remain source records;
+the consolidated plan records current status and remaining functional work.

+# Prototype Product Alignment Plan
+
+Date: 2026-06-24
+
+## Summary
+
+Reviewed the `/datasets` product prototype and updated the master iteration plan so
+KnowledgeFS implementation priority matches the intended dataset workspace.
+
+The existing backend-oriented plan already covered many foundational capabilities:
+KnowledgeFS, SourceFS, EvidenceFS, PageIndex-style outlines, multimodal manifests,
+retrieval modes, MCP tools, and evaluation. The gap was prioritization and product
+surface coverage. The prototype expects a coherent dataset workspace before deeper
+quality-only iteration.
+
+## Plan Changes
+
+- Added the prototype as an explicit source input for the master iteration plan.
+- Added `Prototype product parity` to the current-state matrix.
+- Moved prototype product surface parity ahead of PageIndex and multimodal quality
+  hardening in the execution order.
+- Added milestone `M0.5: Prototype Product Surface Alignment`.
+- Captured required surfaces:
+  - dataset list and create flows;
+  - dataset detail shell and navigation;
+  - overview readiness;
+  - sources provider workflow;
+  - documents workspace;
+  - evidence test workspace;
+  - quality workspace;
+  - settings/API workspace;
+  - agent access workspace;
+  - knowledge pipeline mode;
+  - prototype conformance matrix.
+- Updated the immediate next slice recommendation to start with dataset list/create
+  flows and then proceed through prototype parity before returning to outline and
+  multimodal quality hardening.
+
+## Files
+
+- `.harness/docs/consolidated-iteration-plan.md`
+- `.harness/changes/2026-06-24-prototype-product-alignment-plan.md`
+
+## Verification
+
+- Markdown and diff checks should confirm this is a documentation-only update.

+# Plugin-daemon Model Routing — Foundation (Phase 0–2 reference)
+
+Date: 2026-06-30
+
+## Context
+
+knowledge-fs is becoming a subproject of Dify and should invoke models the way Dify does — through
+the **plugin-daemon** service (`POST {url}/plugin/{tenant_id}/dispatch/{op}/invoke`, SSE) — carrying
+the real per-request tenant, with credentials resolved daemon-side. This is the first increment of a
+phased rollout (plan: route all 6 model-call seams). See
+`/Users/jyong/.claude/plans/humming-brewing-ladybug.md`.
+
+## What Changed (this increment)
+
+- **New package `@knowledge/plugin-daemon-client`** (`packages/plugin-daemon-client/`): a pure leaf
+  transport implementing the plugin-daemon contract.
+  - `createPluginDaemonClient({baseUrl, apiKey, fetch?, maxResponseBytes?, maxRetries?, retryDelayMs?, sleep?})`
+    with `dispatchUnary` (embedding/rerank — final envelope) and `dispatchStream` (llm — every chunk).
+  - SSE multi-line `data:` parsing, `{code,message,data}` envelope unwrap with nested
+    PluginInvokeError handling (`PluginDaemonError`), bounded response reads, and retry on
+    408/409/425/429/5xx. Ported from the house patterns in `packages/generation/src/index.ts`.
+  - Full unit tests (`src/index.test.ts`).
+- **tenantId input fields (Phase 1 start)**: added optional `tenantId?` to `EmbedTextsInput`,
+  `RerankDocumentsInput` (`packages/embeddings/src/index.ts`) and `GenerateTextInput`
+  (`packages/generation/src/index.ts`). Additive and behavior-neutral; the plugin-daemon adapters
+  require it, direct providers ignore it.
+- **Reference adapter (Phase 2)**: `createPluginDaemonEmbeddingProvider` in
+  `packages/embeddings/src/index.ts` implements `EmbeddingProvider` over the daemon `text_embedding`
+  op (kind `"plugin-daemon"` added to `EmbeddingProviderKind`). Maps `inputType`
+  search_query→QUERY / else→DOCUMENT, sends empty `credentials` (daemon-resolved), validates the
+  response vector count. Tests in `src/plugin-daemon-embedding.test.ts`.
+
+## Why
+
+- Establishes the shared transport + the per-capability adapter pattern (selectable provider kind)
+  with the text-embedding seam as the verified reference, before threading tenant everywhere and
+  adding the rerank/LLM/multimodal adapters.
+
+## How It Was Verified
+
+- TDD throughout; reasoned-verified only — this environment has no Node runtime, so tests were not
+  executed here.
+- IMPORTANT: a one-time `pnpm install` is required to register the new workspace package and link
+  `@knowledge/plugin-daemon-client` (the lockfile is NOT updated in this commit). Then run
+  `pnpm --filter @knowledge/plugin-daemon-client test`, `pnpm --filter @knowledge/embeddings test`,
+  and `pnpm check`.
+
+## Remaining Work (next increments)
+
+- Phase 1 (rest): thread the `tenantId` value through the query/retrieval, ingestion, and read
+  (enrichment) call chains down to each provider input.
+- Phase 3: rerank + LLM (`createPluginDaemonRerankerProvider`, `createPluginDaemonLlmProvider`).
+- Phase 4: multimodal answer + enrichment (VLM via the llm op with image content blocks).
+- Wiring: `KNOWLEDGE_*_PROVIDER=plugin-daemon` in `apps/api/src/*-options.ts` + `apps/api/src/index.ts`.
+- Phase 5: image-byte visual embedding documented as a plugin-daemon exception (no Dify model type).

+# Plugin-daemon Model Routing — Phase 2 Wiring + Phase 3 (rerank + LLM)
+
+Date: 2026-06-30
+
+## Context
+
+Continues the plugin-daemon model-routing work (Phases 0–1 already landed). This adds the rerank and
+LLM adapters and wires plugin-daemon as a selectable provider kind for embedding, rerank, and LLM
+(answer + semantic extraction).
+
+## What Changed
+
+### Adapters
+- `packages/embeddings/src/index.ts`: `createPluginDaemonRerankerProvider` (RerankerProvider over the
+  daemon `rerank` op; daemon returns scored indices, matched back to documents by index; kind
+  `"plugin-daemon"`). Tests in `src/plugin-daemon-rerank.test.ts`.
+- `packages/generation/src/index.ts`: `createPluginDaemonLlmProvider` (LlmProvider over the daemon
+  `llm` SSE op; `stream` maps `delta.message.content` → `{delta}` then a `{done}` event with usage;
+  `generate` aggregates; kind `"plugin-daemon"`). Vision uses the same op via image content blocks.
+  Tests in `src/plugin-daemon-llm.test.ts`. Added `@knowledge/plugin-daemon-client` dependency.
+
+### Wiring (`apps/api`)
+- New `apps/api/src/plugin-daemon-options.ts`: builds the shared `PluginDaemonClient` from
+  `PLUGIN_DAEMON_URL`/`PLUGIN_DAEMON_KEY` (+ optional max-bytes/retries), plus helpers
+  (`pluginDaemonRequired`, `parsePluginDaemonCredentials`).
+- `embedding-options.ts`, `reranker-options.ts`: `KNOWLEDGE_{EMBEDDING,RERANK}_PROVIDER=plugin-daemon`
+  builds the daemon adapter from `KNOWLEDGE_{EMBEDDING,RERANK}_PLUGIN_ID` / `_PLUGIN_PROVIDER` /
+  `_MODEL` (+ optional `_PLUGIN_CREDENTIALS_JSON`).
+- `generation-provider.ts`: `createChatProvider` gains a `plugin-daemon` kind taking per-capability
+  config; `answer-generation-options.ts` (`KNOWLEDGE_ANSWER_PROVIDER`) and `llm-options.ts`
+  (`KNOWLEDGE_ENTITY_EXTRACTION_PROVIDER`, shared by entity/relation/community) pass their resolved
+  `pluginId`/`provider`/`model`/credentials.
+- Credentials default to `{}` (daemon-resolved); `*_PLUGIN_CREDENTIALS_JSON` is the escape hatch.
+
+## Why
+
+Completes the selectable plugin-daemon routing for the core capabilities (text embedding, rerank,
+LLM answer + semantic extraction) on top of the per-request tenant threading from Phase 1.
+
+## How It Was Verified
+
+- TDD for the adapters; reasoned-verified only (no Node runtime here). Requires `pnpm install` (new
+  workspace deps in `embeddings`/`generation`/`api-app`), then `pnpm check`. Coverage for the new
+  adapter branches should be confirmed (packages enforce ≥90%).
+
+## Known Gaps / Follow-up
+
+- Visual **text-query** embedding (`visual-embedding-options.ts`) still uses its HTTP provider; it
+  could route through the daemon `text_embedding` op later. Image-byte visual embedding has no daemon
+  model type (Phase 5 exception).
+- Multimodal answer/enrichment adapters are Phase 4.
+- apps/api options wiring has no unit tests here (the app test script is `--passWithNoTests`); a smoke
+  test selecting `plugin-daemon` per capability is a recommended follow-up.

+# Plugin-daemon Model Routing — Phase 1 Tenant Threading
+
+Date: 2026-06-30
+
+## Context
+
+Continues the plugin-daemon model-routing work. Phase 1 threads the real per-request `tenantId`
+down to every model-invocation provider input, so the plugin-daemon adapters (which require a tenant
+in the dispatch URL) receive it. Additive and behavior-neutral: direct providers ignore the field.
+
+## What Changed
+
+`tenantId` is now carried from the request/job entry to each model-call provider input. The optional
+`tenantId?` field was added to the relevant input types and the value is threaded through:
+
+- **Ingestion (embedding/visual)**: `BuildDenseVectorProjectionInput` /
+  `BuildVisualEmbeddingProjectionInput` / `EmbedVisualAssetsInput` / `EmbedVisualImagesInput`
+  (`index-projection-builders.ts`); the dense/visual builders forward it to `embeddings.embed` /
+  `provider.embedAssets` / `provider.embedImages`. The reindexer (`index-reindexer.ts`) passes
+  `input.tenantId` to the builders, and the sync upload handler (`document-write-handlers.ts`) now
+  passes `subject.tenantId` to `reindex` (the async worker already did).
+- **Ingestion (semantic LLM)**: entity/relation/community extraction —
+  `ExtractKnowledgeNode{Entities,Relations}Input`, `{Entity,Relation}ExtractionProviderInput`,
+  `Generate{Entity,Relation,CommunitySummary}TextInput`, `SemanticCommunitySummaryInput` — threaded
+  from `semantic-ingestion-postprocessor.ts` through the flows and providers down to
+  `LlmProvider.generate` (the providers receive the raw `LlmProvider`, which now accepts `tenantId`
+  via `GenerateTextInput`).
+- **Query/retrieval**: generators read `input.subject.tenantId` and pass it to the query embedding
+  (`embedQueryVector` / `embeddings.embed`), `retriever.retrieve`, the answer `provider.stream`
+  (`GenerateAnswerStreamInput`), and the multimodal answer provider boundary
+  (`MultimodalAnswerProviderInput`). `SearchDenseInput`/`SearchFtsInput` carry it, and
+  `hybrid-retrieval.ts` forwards it to `searchDense`/`searchFts` and `rerankHybridRetrievalItems`
+  (→ `reranker.rerank`). Retrieval-path wrappers preserve it via `...input`.
+- **Read (enrichment VLM)**: `EnhanceDocumentMultimodalManifestInput`,
+  `DocumentMultimodalEnrichmentProviderInput`, `DocumentMultimodalUnderstandingProviderInput`
+  threaded from `document-read-handlers.ts` (`subject.tenantId`) through the enhancer to
+  `provider.understand`. The cached enhancer forwards it via `...input`.
+
+## Why
+
+So the plugin-daemon adapters can route each model call under the correct tenant without a global
+interface rewrite. The fields are optional, so existing direct providers are unaffected.
+
+## How It Was Verified
+
+- Type-driven threading; reasoned-verified only (no Node runtime here). Correctness of the threading
+  is largely enforced by `tsc` — run `pnpm check` locally. Per-seam behavioral tests (mock provider
+  captures `tenantId`) are a recommended follow-up.
+
+## Known Gaps / Follow-up
+
+- The three KnowledgeFS command-registry enrichment `enhance(...)` calls
+  (`knowledge-fs-command-registry.ts`, inside `readDocumentText`-style helpers) do not yet have a
+  tenant in scope, so they pass `tenantId: undefined` on that specific read path. Plumbing the
+  session tenant through those helpers is a small follow-up; it only matters once the plugin-daemon
+  enrichment adapter is wired (Phase 4) and reached via KnowledgeFS `cat`.
+- Multimodal answer/enrichment internal forwarding to the LLM completes with the Phase 4 adapters.

+# Plugin-daemon Model Routing — Phase 4 (multimodal answer + enrichment)
+
+Date: 2026-07-01
+
+## Context
+
+Adds plugin-daemon routing for the two VLM seams (multimodal answer + document multimodal
+enrichment). Both are vision LLM calls, so they use the daemon `llm` op with image content blocks in
+`prompt_messages`, reusing the SSE stream aggregation.
+
+## What Changed
+
+- **Tenant threading (Phase 1 completion for this path)**: `GenerateMultimodalAnswerContentInput`
+  and `GenerateMultimodalAnswerTextInput` (`packages/api/src/llm-multimodal-answer-provider.ts`) gain
+  `tenantId?`; the content/text answer providers forward `input.tenantId` to their injected provider.
+- **Shared helper**: `pluginDaemonLlmCompletion` in `apps/api/src/plugin-daemon-options.ts`
+  dispatches the `llm` op with caller-built `prompt_messages` and aggregates the SSE stream into
+  `{text, finishReason?, model?}`.
+- **Multimodal answer** (`apps/api/src/multimodal-answer-options.ts`):
+  `KNOWLEDGE_MULTIMODAL_ANSWER_PROVIDER=plugin-daemon` injects a plugin-daemon
+  `MultimodalAnswerContentProvider` into the existing object-storage content-block builder; it maps
+  `LlmMultimodalContentBlockMessage[]` → `prompt_messages` (text + image_url parts) and calls the
+  daemon. Config: `KNOWLEDGE_MULTIMODAL_ANSWER_PLUGIN_ID/_PLUGIN_PROVIDER/_MODEL`.
+- **Multimodal enrichment** (`apps/api/src/multimodal-enrichment-options.ts`):
+  `KNOWLEDGE_MULTIMODAL_ENRICHMENT_PROVIDER=plugin-daemon` builds a plugin-daemon
+  `DocumentMultimodalUnderstandingProvider` that reuses the existing `understandingMessages`
+  (image-loading + content parts) and `parseUnderstandingResult`, calling the daemon `llm` op.
+  Config: `KNOWLEDGE_MULTIMODAL_ENRICHMENT_PLUGIN_ID/_PLUGIN_PROVIDER/_MODEL`.
+- Credentials default to `{}` (daemon-resolved); `*_PLUGIN_CREDENTIALS_JSON` escape hatch; per-call
+  tenant required.
+
+## Why
+
+Completes the core capability coverage (text embedding, rerank, LLM, and now VLM answer + enrichment)
+for plugin-daemon routing.
+
+## Known Risk / Assumption (IMPORTANT — verify)
+
+- The multimodal **content-part serialization** for `prompt_messages` is assumed OpenAI-compatible
+  (`{type:"text",text}` / `{type:"image_url",image_url:{url,detail}}`). Dify's plugin-daemon uses
+  `jsonable_encoder(prompt_messages)` over its `PromptMessageContent` entities, whose exact
+  multimodal shape is version-specific and was NOT verifiable from the current dify checkout (the
+  model-runtime entities have moved). The mapping is isolated in `toPluginDaemonContentPart`
+  (answer) and produced by `understandingMessages` (enrichment) — **verify/adjust against the
+  deployed dify/plugin-daemon version** before relying on image inputs. Text-only prompts are
+  unaffected.
+
+## How It Was Verified
+
+- Reasoned-verified only (no Node runtime here). Requires `pnpm install` + `pnpm check`. The apps/api
+  multimodal adapters are wiring-level (no coverage gate); an integration smoke against a stub daemon
+  is a recommended follow-up, along with confirming the content-part format above.

+# Plugin-daemon Model Routing — Phase 5 (KnowledgeFS enrichment tenant + visual-embedding exception)
+
+Date: 2026-07-01
+
+## Context
+
+Final phase of the plugin-daemon model-routing work. Closes the Phase 1 tenant-threading gap on the
+KnowledgeFS read path and documents the one seam that cannot route to plugin-daemon.
+
+## What Changed
+
+### KnowledgeFS enrichment tenant threading (closes the Phase 1 gap)
+Previously the three `multimodalManifestEnhancer.enhance(...)` calls inside
+`packages/api/src/knowledge-fs-command-registry.ts` (reached via `cat` / `grep` / `diff` of
+`multimodal.json`) had no tenant in scope, so they passed `tenantId: undefined` — which the
+plugin-daemon enrichment adapter rejects at runtime. `tenantId` is now threaded end to end:
+
+- `readDocumentText` gains a `tenantId?` param and forwards it to all three `enhance(...)` calls.
+- The intermediate helpers `catKnowledgeFsPath`, `grepKnowledgePathResource`, `grepKnowledgeFsPath`,
+  and `diffKnowledgeFsPaths` gain a `tenantId?` param and forward it down.
+- The `cat`, `grep`, and `diff` command handlers pass `context.subject.tenantId`; the `write` path
+  (`writeKnowledgeFsDocument`, which already had `subject`) passes `subject.tenantId`.
+
+Additive/behavior-neutral (optional field; non-plugin-daemon enhancers ignore it).
+
+### Image-byte visual embedding exception (documented)
+Dify's standard model runtime has **no image-embedding model type**, so the image-byte
+`ImageBytesVisualEmbeddingProvider` seam has **no plugin-daemon equivalent**. It stays on its
+existing HTTP adapter (`apps/api/src/visual-embedding-options.ts`). The visual **text-query**
+embedding can route through the plugin-daemon `text_embedding` op (via the standard embedding
+adapter) as a follow-up; the image-byte path is the documented exception. Cross-referenced in
+`.harness/docs/multimodal-knowledgefs-iteration-plan.md` (shared-column constraint note).
+
+## How It Was Verified
+
+- Type-driven threading; reasoned-verified only (no Node runtime here). Run `pnpm check`.
+
+## Status: plugin-daemon model routing complete
+
+All planned phases are implemented on branch `feature/plugin-daemon-model-routing`:
+- Phase 0: `@knowledge/plugin-daemon-client` transport.
+- Phase 1: per-request `tenantId` threaded to every model-call seam (now including KnowledgeFS).
+- Phase 2: text embedding adapter + wiring.
+- Phase 3: rerank + LLM adapters + wiring (answer + semantic extraction).
+- Phase 4: multimodal answer + enrichment adapters (VLM via the `llm` op).
+- Phase 5: KnowledgeFS tenant gap closed; image-byte visual embedding documented as an exception.
+
+Outstanding follow-ups (documented in the per-phase summaries):
+- Verify the multimodal `prompt_messages` content-part serialization against the deployed dify
+  version (Phase 4 assumption).
+- Optional: route visual text-query embedding through the daemon.
+- `pnpm install` (new workspace deps) + full `pnpm check`; add integration smokes against a stub
+  daemon.

+# Knowledge-FS Gateway — API Reference
+
+Human-readable reference for the HTTP API served by the gateway (`apps/api`, Hono + zod-openapi).
+It is maintained alongside the route definitions in `packages/api/src/*-routes.ts` and their zod
+request/response schemas. `GET /openapi.json` is the authoritative machine-readable inventory when
+the live spec and this companion document differ.
+
+## Overview
+
+- **Base URL (local dev)**: `http://localhost:8788` (the gateway). The Swagger UI proxy runs on
+  `http://localhost:8088` and fetches `/openapi.json` from the gateway.
+- **Live spec**: `GET /openapi.json` — the machine-readable OpenAPI document (public, unauthenticated),
+  served via `app.doc(...)`. This reference is a human-readable companion.
+- **Content type**: JSON (`application/json`) unless noted; document upload is `multipart/form-data`;
+  streaming answers/progress are `text/event-stream`; raw multimodal assets are
+  `application/octet-stream`.
+
+## Authentication & scopes
+
+- **Bearer token** (JWT) on every guarded route: `Authorization: Bearer `. The tenant is taken
+  from the JWT; a knowledge space is always resolved as `spaces.get({ id, tenantId })`, so one tenant
+  can never read another tenant's space (returns `404`).
+- **Scopes** (`getRequiredScope`): every `GET` needs `knowledge-spaces:read`; every `POST/PATCH/DELETE`
+  needs `knowledge-spaces:write` — **except** `POST /queries`, `POST /research-tasks/plan`, and
+  `POST /agent-workspace-snapshots/{id}/replay`, which need only `read`. The wildcard scope
+  `knowledge-spaces:*` satisfies both.
+- **Auth is path-prefix middleware**, not per-route: it guards `/knowledge-spaces*`, `/queries*`,
+  `/jobs*`, `/research-tasks*`, `/agent-workspace-snapshots*`, `/bulk-jobs*`, `/retention-policy`.
+  **Public (no auth)**: `GET /health` and `GET /openapi.json`.
+- **Auth failures**: `401` (missing/invalid token), `403` (token lacks the required scope), both
+  `{ error: string }`.
+
+## Conventions
+
+- **Errors**: non-2xx bodies are `{ error: string }` (unless a richer shape is documented, e.g. research
+  task `422`).
+- **Pagination**: list endpoints take `cursor` (opaque string) + `limit`, and return
+  `{ items: [...], nextCursor?: string }`. Pass `nextCursor` back as `cursor` for the next page.
+- **Strict bodies/queries**: most request bodies and query objects are `.strict()` — unknown keys are
+  rejected with `400`.
+- **SSE**: streaming endpoints return `text/event-stream`; frames are `event: \ndata: \n\n`.
+- **Datetimes** are ISO-8601 strings unless a field is documented as an epoch number.

+
+## Knowledge spaces & documents
+
+### `POST /knowledge-spaces`
+**Description**: Create a new knowledge space for the caller's tenant.
+**Auth**: Bearer; scope `knowledge-spaces:write`.
+**Path params**: None.
+**Query params**: None.
+**Request body** (`application/json`, strict): `name` (string, 1–160, required); `slug` (string, required, `^[a-z0-9]+(?:-[a-z0-9]+)*$`) — tenant-unique; `description` (string, ≤2000, optional); `embeddingProfile` (optional) `{ pluginId, provider, model }`. When omitted, the configured deployment default is persisted for new spaces. Clients cannot set credentials, dimension, revision, or `vectorSpaceId`.
+**Responses**:
+- `201`: `KnowledgeSpace` `{ id: uuid, name, slug, description?, tenantId, createdAt, updatedAt }`.
+- `409` slug conflict; `429` capacity exceeded; `401`/`403`.
+
+### `GET /knowledge-spaces`
+**Description**: List the tenant's knowledge spaces (cursor-paginated).
+**Auth**: Bearer; scope `knowledge-spaces:read`.
+**Query params** (strict): `limit` (int ≥1, optional, default 100); `cursor` (string, optional).
+**Responses**: `200` `{ items: KnowledgeSpace[], nextCursor?: string }`; `400`; `401`/`403`.
+
+### `GET /knowledge-spaces/{id}`
+**Description**: Fetch a single knowledge space by id.
+**Auth**: Bearer; scope `knowledge-spaces:read`.
+**Path params**: `id` (uuid).
+**Responses**: `200` `KnowledgeSpace`; `404`; `401`/`403`.
+
+### `GET /knowledge-spaces/{id}/manifest`
+**Description**: Return the space's control-plane manifest (storage/consistency/quota policies).
+**Auth**: Bearer; scope `knowledge-spaces:read`.
+**Path params**: `id` (uuid).
+**Responses**:
+- `200`: `KnowledgeSpaceManifest` — `{ id, knowledgeSpaceId, tenantId, manifestVersion: int, embeddingProfile?: { pluginId, provider, model, vectorSpaceId, revision, dimension? }, embeddingProfileFrozenAt?: datetime, minClientVersion, nodeSchemaVersion: int, parserPolicyVersion, projectionSetVersion, objectKeyPrefix, metadataDialect: enum(portable|postgres|tidb), storageProvider: enum(memory-dev|r2|s3-compatible), consistencyPolicy: { defaultClass: enum(path-consistent|snapshot-consistent|cache-consistent|eventual-preview), snapshotTtlSeconds, cacheTtlSeconds? }, encryptionPolicy: { strategy: enum(provider-managed|customer-managed|none), keyRef? }, retentionPolicy: { artifactVersionsToKeep, failedCommitRetentionDays, traceRetentionDays }, quotaPolicy: { maxActiveJobCount, maxActiveSessionCount, maxArtifactBytes, maxGraphEntityCount, maxGraphRelationCount, maxNodeCount, maxProjectionCount, maxRawDocumentBytes, maxSegmentCount, maxTraceBytes: int|null, providerBudgets: { maxEmbeddingTokensPerDay, maxLlmTokensPerDay, maxParserPagesPerDay, maxRerankRequestsPerDay: int|null } }, metadata, createdAt, updatedAt }`. `embeddingProfileFrozenAt` is set atomically when the first document ingestion is admitted.

+**Responses**:
+- `200`: `{ pluginId, provider, model, vectorSpaceId, revision, dimension? }`.
+- `409`: ingestion has already been admitted (or legacy content exists), so the candidate reindex/publish workflow is required before changing vector space. The admission latch is fail-closed and remains set even if the first upload later fails.
+- `404`; `401`/`403`.
+

+### `POST /queries`
+**Description**: Run a knowledge-space query and stream the generated answer as SSE.
+**Auth**: Bearer; scope `knowledge-spaces:read`.
+**Request body** (`application/json`, strict): `knowledgeSpaceId` (uuid, required); `query` (string
+1–16000, required); `mode` (enum `auto|deep|fast|research`, optional; defaults to the published
+knowledge-space retrieval profile's `defaultMode`, or `fast` for a legacy space without a profile);
+`activeDocumentIds` (uuid[] ≤100, optional, default `[]`); `activeEntityIds` (string[1–200][] ≤100,
+optional, default `[]`); `sessionId` (uuid, optional).
+
+`auto` is a public **routing selector**, not a fourth retrieval pipeline. Only an explicit
+`mode: "auto"` invokes the knowledge space's published `reasoningModel` through plugin-daemon to
+select exactly one concrete pipeline. Omitting `mode` does not invoke the router; it uses the
+published `defaultMode`. Explicit `fast`, `research`, and `deep` requests also bypass routing.
+
+The model is instructed to select the least expensive sufficient pipeline: **Fast** for ordinary
+dense + FTS hybrid recall, fusion, and final rerank; **Research** for Summary/Outline/PageIndex tree
+navigation without ordinary hybrid, Graph, or ordinary rerank; and **Deep** for ordinary hybrid
+recall plus Graph expansion, followed by one unified final rerank. Selection is not implemented by
+hard-coded CJK/language, query-length, word-count, or keyword rules. A timeout, provider failure,
+invalid response, or model-identity mismatch safely degrades to the published `defaultMode` and is
+recorded in the trace; it never falls back to the removed heuristic.
+
+**Response headers**:
+
+- `x-query-run-id`: server-generated UUID used as the durable `AnswerTrace.id`, retrieval lease ID,
+  session query ID, and query activity resource ID. Use this value with `GET /queries/{traceId}`.
+- `x-trace-id`: HTTP request correlation ID. It can originate from the caller and is deliberately
+  separate from the durable query-run ID; do not use it as the AnswerTrace resource ID.
+- `x-session-id`: generated or reused query session ID. A successful streamed query has a resolved
+  session even when the request omitted `sessionId`.
+
+**Responses**:
+
+- `200` (`text/event-stream`):
+  - `answer.delta` `{ delta, traceId }`: one generated answer fragment. `traceId` is the durable
+    query-run ID.
+  - `answer.done` `{ finishReason, metadata?, traceId }`: the single successful terminal frame.
+    Production finish reasons are `retrieval-evidence` and `no-retrieval-evidence`.
+  - `answer.error` `{ error, traceId }`: the terminal failure frame. No `answer.done` follows it.
+- `400` invalid request or retrieval-profile/mode mismatch; `404` space not found; `409` query
+  admission rejected while deletion is active; `503` query generation, published runtime snapshot,
+  embedding profile, projection snapshot, or required retrieval capability unavailable; `401`/`403`.
+
+`answer.done.metadata` is generator-dependent and can contain `generator`, `mode`, reasoning
+`model`, `provider`, `providerFinishReason`, opaque `providerMetadata`, `topScore`, `citations`, the
+complete `evidenceBundle`, multimodal evidence/answer metadata, and the same `projectionSnapshot`,
+`retrievalProfile`, retrieval `plan`, and retrieval `metrics` persisted in the AnswerTrace.
+
+The gateway buffers the terminal `answer.done` frame until the AnswerTrace transaction commits. If
+the trace commit fails, the client receives `answer.error` instead of a false successful terminal
+frame. A disconnect before terminal ownership is claimed normally cancels the run without creating
+an AnswerTrace. After a successful trace commit, failed-query capture is best-effort and currently
+recognizes `no-retrieval-evidence` and configured low-confidence results.
+
+Internal `trace-step` events are collected for AnswerTrace persistence and are never emitted as SSE
+frames. Answer deltas may arrive before the terminal persistence fence; after any generation,
+lease, or trace-persistence failure the stream emits `answer.error` when the client is still
+connected and then closes while retaining HTTP status `200` for the already-open SSE response.
+
+### `GET /queries/{traceId}`
+**Description**: Fetch the durable retrieval/generation execution trace for a query. This is an
+execution trace, not a replayable copy of the generated answer.
+**Auth**: Bearer; scope `knowledge-spaces:read`.
+**Path params**: `traceId` (uuid).
+**Responses**:
+
+- `200`: `AnswerTrace` `{ id, knowledgeSpaceId, query, mode:
+  enum(fast|deep|research|auto), createdAt, evidenceBundleId?, steps: [{ name, status:
+  enum(ok|error|skipped), startedAt, endedAt?, metadata }] }`. New online-query traces store the
+  concrete resolved mode (`fast|research|deep`) at the top level; `auto` remains readable in the
+  schema for historical records.
+- `404`; `401`/`403`.
+
+`createdAt` is the terminal trace-recording time, not the query admission time. Public responses
+omit the internal creator `subjectId`, permission-snapshot ID/revision/access channel, and database
+`completed` flag. A trace is readable only by its original authenticated subject while the stored
+permission snapshot, current knowledge-space read access, API-key binding (when applicable), and
+all referenced node/document/asset visibility checks still pass. Hidden, deleted, legacy-unowned,
+or unresolved-evidence traces fail closed with `403` or `404`.
+
+Online queries normally persist these steps:
+
+- `query.route`: routing provenance with `requestedMode`, concrete `resolvedMode`, `resolver`
+  (`explicit`, `llm`, or `fallback`), `selectionSource`, published reasoning-model/profile identity,
+  prompt version, bounded provider/usage metadata, duration, and a `degraded` flag plus safe error
+  class when Auto falls back. The step is persisted but is not emitted as an SSE frame. Explicit
+  modes and omitted-mode defaults record routing without making an LLM call.
+- `query.embed` (Fast and Deep only): `durationMs`, observed embedding `model`, observed
+  `dimension`, and immutable `vectorSpaceId`. Research does not call the embedding capability and
+  omits this step.
+- `query.retrieve`: `durationMs`, `itemCount`, optional immutable `projectionSnapshot`, published
+  `retrievalProfile`, resolved retrieval `plan`, and retrieval `metrics`.
+- `query.answer`: `durationMs`, `answerChars`, `synthesis`, and, for LLM generation, `model`,
+  `provider`, and `providerFinishReason`. A failed multimodal attempt followed by a successful text
+  fallback can produce both an `error` and an `ok` `query.answer` step.
+- `query.generate`: terminal summary with `eventCount`, optional `finishReason`, and the complete
+  terminal generator metadata. Its status is authoritative for the database `completed` state.
+
+The retrieval `plan` contains `{ strategyVersion, requestedMode, resolvedMode, queryLanguage, topK,
+denseTopK, ftsTopK, fusionLimit, rerankCandidateLimit }`. The `retrievalProfile` contains the
+non-secret published configuration that governed the run: `{ revision, defaultMode, topK,
+scoreThreshold, reasoningModel, rerank }`, including model `pluginId`, `provider`, and `model`
+identifiers but no plugin credentials. The `projectionSnapshot` contains `{ publicationId,
+fingerprint, headRevision, projectionVersion }`.
+
+Retrieval metrics use a shared shape. Common fields include dense/FTS/fusion candidate counts and
+latencies, final candidate count, permission/metadata/projection/score-threshold filtered counts,
+rerank candidates and latency, multimodal/image/table/visual candidate counts, degradation flags,
+and `totalMs`. Mode-specific fields are:
+
+- **Fast**: ordinary dense + FTS hybrid recall and candidate fusion, followed by the single final
+  rerank pass when reranking is enabled by the published profile.
+- **Research**: PageIndex/Outline/Summary fields such as `pageIndexMatchedNodes`,
+  `pageIndexOpenedRanges`, scanned outlines/nodes, candidate truncation, PageIndex score version,
+  Summary candidates/selected sections, and threshold-filtered candidates. Dense/FTS/rerank plan
+  limits are zero and no Graph expansion is used.
+- **Deep**: ordinary hybrid fields plus `graphExpansionSeeds`, traversed entities, relations,
+  candidates, latency, and timeout state, followed by the single final rerank pass when reranking
+  is enabled by the published profile.
+
+Graph expansion, PageIndex, and rerank currently appear inside `query.retrieve.plan/metrics`, not as
+separate trace steps. A stage step is emitted only after that stage completes; an embedding or
+retrieval exception before emission can therefore leave only the terminal `query.generate:error`
+step. `completed=true` means execution reached a successful terminal summary: a
+`no-retrieval-evidence` result is still completed, and a recovered intermediate error does not make
+the terminal query fail.
+
+AnswerTrace deliberately does **not** persist the generated answer text, SSE delta fragments,
+prompt/messages, session ID, active document/entity context, raw query vector, normalized token
+usage/cost, or exception stack. Token/usage data is present only when a provider places it in opaque
+`providerMetadata`. Clients that require answer replay or audit must persist the SSE answer content
+separately.
+
+`steps[].metadata` is an open JSON object and the direct trace response returns it after the access
+checks above. It can contain complete evidence text, provider and multimodal metadata, internal
+projection identifiers, and aggregate filtered-candidate diagnostics; clients must treat it as
+sensitive authorized content.
+
+The terminal `EvidenceBundle` embedded in `query.generate.metadata.evidenceBundle` has this shape:
+
+`{ id, query, traceId?, createdAt, state: enum(answerable|partial|not-enough-evidence|conflict|permission-limited), items: [{ nodeId, text, score, scores: { retrieval, rerank?, freshness?, final }, freshness, citations: [{ documentAssetId, documentVersion, artifactHash?, pageNumber?, sectionPath, startOffset?, endOffset? }], conflicts, metadata }], missingEvidence: [{ expectedEvidenceId?, reason, text, metadata }] }`.
+
+For an online query the same complete bundle is stored in the terminal step metadata and in the
+scoped `evidence_bundles` storage; `evidenceBundleId` identifies that persisted bundle.
+
+### `GET /queries/{traceId}/evidence`
+**Description**: List the evidence supporting an answer trace (paginated virtual-tree listing).
+**Auth**: Bearer; scope `knowledge-spaces:read`.
+**Path params**: `traceId` (uuid). **Query** (strict): `cursor` (string, optional); `limit` (int 1–100, optional, default 25).
+**Responses**:
+
+- `200`: KnowledgeFS list `{ path, truncated, items: [{ kind: "resource", name: nodeId, path,
+  resourceType: "node", targetId: nodeId, metadata: { citationCount, conflictCount, freshness,
+  score, scores } }], nextCursor? }`.
+- `400`; `404`; `401`/`403`.
+
+This is a compact virtual-tree projection. It does not repeat evidence text or citation arrays; the
+authorized direct AnswerTrace currently contains the complete embedded EvidenceBundle.
+
+### `GET /queries/{traceId}/conflicts`
+**Description**: List conflicting evidence for an answer trace (paginated virtual-tree listing).
+**Auth**: Bearer; scope `knowledge-spaces:read`.
+**Path params**: `traceId` (uuid). **Query** (strict): `cursor`; `limit` (int 1–100, default 25).
+**Responses**: `200` KnowledgeFS list with resource entries containing `{ nodeId, reason,
+severity }` metadata and a target node ID; `400`; `404`; `401`/`403`.
+
+### `GET /queries/{traceId}/missing`
+**Description**: List evidence gaps (missing/not-found evidence) for an answer trace.
+**Auth**: Bearer; scope `knowledge-spaces:read`.
+**Path params**: `traceId` (uuid). **Query** (strict): `cursor`; `limit` (int 1–100, default 25).
+**Responses**: `200` KnowledgeFS list with evidence entries containing the missing-evidence
+`reason` plus its metadata and `expectedEvidenceId` when present; `400`; `404`; `401`/`403`.
+
+### `GET /knowledge-spaces/{id}/quality/traces`
+**Description**: List subject-owned, candidate-authorized AnswerTrace summaries for the Quality
+history view.
+**Auth**: Bearer; scope `knowledge-spaces:read`; current knowledge-space read authorization is also
+required.
+**Path params**: `id` (uuid).
+**Query** (strict): `cursor` (opaque string, optional); `from`/`to` (datetime,
+optional); `limit` (int 1–100, optional, default 50); `mode` (enum
+`auto|deep|fast|research`, optional); `query` (trimmed string 1–500, optional); `status` (enum
+`completed|failed`, optional).
+**Responses**:
+
+- `200`: `{ items: QualityAnswerTraceSummary[], nextCursor? }`, where each summary is
+  `{ id, query, mode, createdAt, completed, evidenceBundleId?, evidenceState?, finalScore?, scores:
+  { retrieval?, rerank?, final? }, profile: { embeddingModel?, embeddingVectorSpaceId?,
+  reasoningModel?, rerankModel?, retrievalProfileRevision?, projectionPublicationId?,
+  projectionVersion? }, stages: [{ name, status, candidateCount? }] }`.
+- `400`; `404`; `503` Quality runtime unavailable; `401`/`403`.
+
+`completed` represents terminal execution success, not evidence answerability. This endpoint is the
+paginated/searchable summary view; use `GET /queries/{traceId}` for the authorized full execution
+trace. Quality replay can also create AnswerTrace-shaped stage records without a terminal
+`query.generate` step or EvidenceBundle, so consumers must not assume every history row has the
+online-query step sequence.
+
+Compatibility note: the current `status` filter treats any trace containing an `error` step as
+`failed`, even when a later `query.generate:ok` makes `completed` true. Consequently, a recovered
+multimodal-to-text fallback can return `completed: true` while matching `status=failed`; the two
+filters are not yet a strict partition of terminal execution state.

+
+> **Source object & conventions**
+> - `Source` = `{ id, knowledgeSpaceId, name, type: enum(upload|object-storage|connector|web), uri, status: enum(active|syncing|error|disabled), permissionScope: string[], metadata, version: int≥1, createdAt, updatedAt }`.
+> - **Optimistic locking**: `version` is bumped on every write. Pass it back as `expectedVersion` on PATCH to fail with `409` instead of overwriting a concurrent modification.
+> - **Scheduled sync**: set `metadata.syncPolicy` to `{"everyHours": N}` (1–720) or `{"dailyAt": ["HH:MM", …], "utcOffset": "±HH:MM"?}`. Invalid policies are rejected with `400` at create/update. A background scheduler (multi-replica safe; `KNOWLEDGE_SOURCE_SYNC*` env) then re-syncs due sources: web → re-crawl with content-hash dedup, connector pages → re-import previously imported pages whose `lastEditedTime` changed, drive → re-download previously imported files. The scheduler records progress under `metadata.syncState` `{ lastSyncAt, lastSyncStatus: ok|error, lastSyncError?, nextSyncAt, syncStartedAt? }`.
+> - **Reserved metadata keys** (managed by the platform; user PATCHes should carry them through): `tenantId` (auto-stamped on create/update), `sync` (last sync summary), `crawled`, `imported`, `importedFiles` (per-source sync state), `syncState`.

Imported pages are recorded in `metadata.imported` `{ [pageId]: { documentAssetId, lastEditedTime? } }`, which scheduled sync refreshes (never-imported pages are not auto-added — selection stays manual).
+**Auth**: Bearer; scope `knowledge-spaces:write`.
+**Path params**: `id` (uuid); `sourceId` (uuid). **Body** (`application/json`, strict): `pages` (array 1–200) each `{ pageId (min 1, required), workspaceId (min 1, required), type (min 1, required), name? (1–200), lastEditedTime? (min 1) }`.
+**Responses**:
+- `200`: `SourceImportResult` `{ documents: [{ documentAssetId, filename }], failed: [{ filename, error }], skipped: string[] }`.
+- `400` not a connector; `404`; `501`; `502`; `401`/`403`.
+
+### `GET /knowledge-spaces/{id}/sources/{sourceId}/files`
+**Description**: Browse files from an online-drive connector (e.g. S3/Drive), grouped by bucket.
+**Auth**: Bearer; scope `knowledge-spaces:read`.
+**Path params**: `id` (uuid); `sourceId` (uuid). **Query** (strict): `bucket` (optional); `prefix` (optional); `maxKeys` (int 1–1000, optional).
+**Responses**:
+- `200`: `OnlineDriveFiles` `{ buckets: [{ bucket?, isTruncated?, files: [{ id, name, type, size? }] }] }`.
+- `400` not a drive connector; `404`; `501`; `502`; `401`/`403`.
+
+### `POST /knowledge-spaces/{id}/sources/{sourceId}/import-files`
+**Description**: Import selected online-drive files as documents. Successfully imported files are recorded in `metadata.importedFiles` `{ [fileId]: { name, bucket?, mimeType? } }`, which scheduled sync re-downloads.
+**Auth**: Bearer; scope `knowledge-spaces:write`.
+**Path params**: `id` (uuid); `sourceId` (uuid). **Body** (`application/json`, strict): `files` (array 1–200) each `{ id (min 1, required), name (1–255, required), bucket?, mimeType? }`.
+**Responses**: `200` `SourceImportResult` `{ documents, failed, skipped }`; `400`; `404`; `501`; `502`; `401`/`403`.
+
+### `GET /knowledge-spaces/{id}/graph/traverse`
+**Description**: Bounded breadth-limited traversal of the knowledge graph from a seed entity.
+**Auth**: Bearer; scope `knowledge-spaces:read`.
+**Path params**: `id` (uuid). **Query** (strict): `entityId` (uuid, required); `depth` (int 1–2, optional, default 2); `fanout` (int 1–50, optional, default 20); `maxNodes` (int 1–200, optional, default 50); `timeoutMs` (int 1–5000, optional, default 250).
+**Responses**:
+- `200`: `{ entities: GraphEntity[], relations: GraphRelation[], truncated, metrics: { depthReached, elapsedMs, exploredRelations, fanout, maxDepth, maxNodes, timedOut } }`. `GraphEntity` `{ id, knowledgeSpaceId, name, canonicalKey, aliases: string[], type: enum(date|metric|organization|person|policy|product|term), confidence, depth, extractionVersion, permissionScope: string[], sourceNodeIds: string[], metadata, createdAt, updatedAt }`. `GraphRelation` `{ id, knowledgeSpaceId, subjectEntityId, objectEntityId, type: enum(contradicts|defines|depends_on|mentions|references|supersedes), confidence, depth, extractionVersion, permissionScope, sourceNodeIds, metadata, createdAt, updatedAt }`.

+**Auth**: Bearer; scope `knowledge-spaces:write`.
+**Path params**: `id` (uuid). **Body** (`application/json`, strict): `limit` (int 1–100, optional, default 50).
+**Responses**: `200` `{ knowledgeSpaceId, extractionMode: "provider", nodesScanned, nodesUpdated, entitiesExtracted, graphEntitiesIndexed, graphRelationsIndexed }`; `400`; `404`; `401`/`403`.
+
+### `POST /knowledge-spaces/{id}/semantic-views/communities/materialize`
+**Description**: Materialize a KnowledgeFS community semantic view (entity-cluster grouping).
+**Auth**: Bearer; scope `knowledge-spaces:write`.
+**Path params**: `id` (uuid). **Body** (`application/json`, strict): `generatedVersion` (1–120, optional).
+**Responses**: `200` `{ knowledgeSpaceId, generatedVersion, communityCount, entityCount, documentCount, pathCount }`; `400`; `404`; `401`/`403`.
+
+### `POST /research-tasks/plan`
+**Description**: Produce a dry-run plan (cost/latency/retrieval estimates) for a research task without executing.
+**Auth**: Bearer; scope `knowledge-spaces:read`.
+**Body** (`application/json`, strict): `knowledgeSpaceId` (uuid, required); `query` (string 1–16000, required); `mode` (enum `auto|deep|fast|research`, optional); `topK` (int 1–50, optional); `budgetUsd` (number ≥0, optional).
+
+An omitted `mode` uses the published `defaultMode`. An explicit `auto` is resolved through the
+published reasoning model before the deterministic dry-run planner runs; `retrievalPlan` preserves
+`requestedMode: "auto"` and reports the concrete `resolvedMode`.
+
+**Responses**:
+- `200`: `ResearchTaskDryRunPlan` `{ knowledgeSpaceId, query, strategyVersion, budget: { budgetUsd?, exceedsBudget, remainingBudgetUsd? }, estimates: { costUsd: { currency, estimated, min, max }, inputTokens, outputTokens, totalTokens, latencyMs: { p50, p95 }, retrievalSteps, scannedResources, toolCalls, cacheHitProbability }, retrievalPlan: { requestedMode, resolvedMode, queryLanguage, topK, denseTopK, ftsTopK, fusionLimit, rerankCandidateLimit, strategyVersion }, steps: [{ name: enum(analyze|generate|inspect|plan|retrieve), estimatedInputTokens, estimatedOutputTokens, estimatedToolCalls, estimatedLatencyMs, estimatedCostUsd }] }`.
+- `400`; `404`; `401`/`403`.
+
+### `POST /research-tasks`
+**Description**: Create and enqueue an asynchronous research task job.
+**Auth**: Bearer; scope `knowledge-spaces:write`.
+**Body** (`application/json`): `knowledgeSpaceId` (uuid, required); `query` (string 1–16000, required); `mode` (enum `auto|deep|fast|research`, optional); `topK` (int 1–50, optional); `budgetUsd` (number ≥0, optional); `limits` (object, optional) `{ maxRetrievalSteps?, maxScannedResources?, maxToolCalls?, timeoutMs? }`; `metadata` (object, optional); `permissionScope` (object, optional).
+
+For an explicit `auto`, creation authorizes the caller, freezes the published publication/profile
+tuple, invokes that profile's reasoning model once, and persists the concrete mode plus bounded
+routing provenance. Queue retries and worker restarts reuse the persisted decision and never
+reclassify the query. Router failure uses the frozen profile's `defaultMode`; omitting `mode` uses
+that default directly without an LLM call. Auto creation requires a query-ready published runtime
+snapshot and returns `503` when that immutable tuple is unavailable; the legacy mutable-profile
+compatibility path does not admit Auto.
+
+**Responses**:
+- `201`: `ResearchTaskJob` `{ id, tenantId, subjectId, knowledgeSpaceId, queueJobId, query, stage: enum(queued|planning|retrieving|analyzing|generating|completed|failed|canceled), limits?, budgetUsd?, cost: { totalUsd, budgetUsd?, budgetExceeded?, entries: [{ step, provider, costUsd, usage, recordedAt: number }] }, error?, createdAt: number, updatedAt: number, completedAt?: number }`.

+
+### `GET /research-tasks/{id}/partials`
+**Description**: List a research task's partial evidence bundles (cursor-paginated).
+**Auth**: Bearer; scope `knowledge-spaces:read`.
+**Path params**: `id` (string, min 1). **Query** (strict): `limit` (int 1–100, optional, default 25); `cursor` (optional).
+**Responses**:
+- `200`: `{ items: [{ tenantId, knowledgeSpaceId, researchTaskJobId, sequence: int>0, evidenceBundle }], nextCursor? }`. `EvidenceBundle` `{ id, query, state: enum(answerable|partial|not-enough-evidence|conflict|permission-limited), items: [{ nodeId, text, score: 0–1, scores, freshness, citations[], conflicts[], metadata }], missingEvidence: [{ text, reason: enum(not-retrieved|permission-filtered|stale|conflict|unknown), expectedEvidenceId?, metadata }], traceId?, createdAt }`.
+- `404`; `401`/`403`.
+
+### `GET /research-tasks/{id}/events`
+**Description**: Stream research task progress as SSE.
+**Auth**: Bearer; scope `knowledge-spaces:read`.
+**Path params**: `id` (string, min 1). **Query** (strict): `limit` (int 1–100, optional, default 25); `cursor` (optional).
+**Responses**: `200` (`text/event-stream`) progress event frames; `404`; `401`/`403`.
+
+### `DELETE /research-tasks/{id}`
+**Description**: Request cancellation of an in-flight research task job.
+**Auth**: Bearer; scope `knowledge-spaces:write`.
+**Path params**: `id` (string, min 1).

+
+## System, policy, KnowledgeFS & agent workspace
+
+### `GET /health`
+**Description**: Platform runtime + per-component health.
+**Auth**: **None (public)**.
+**Responses**: `200` `{ ok: boolean, runtime: enum(cloudflare-workers|node-docker), components: Record }`.
+
+### `GET /openapi.json`
+**Description**: The machine-readable OpenAPI 3 document for the whole API (served via `app.doc`).
+**Auth**: **None (public)**.
+**Responses**: `200` OpenAPI JSON document.
+
+### `GET /bulk-jobs/{id}`
+**Description**: Progress for a bulk document operation job.
+**Auth**: Bearer; scope `knowledge-spaces:read`.
+**Path params**: `id` (string, min 1).
+**Responses**:
+- `200`: `{ id, knowledgeSpaceId, type: enum(document_upload|document_delete|document_reindex), status: enum(running|completed|failed), totalItems, completedItems, failedItems, failedItemIds: string[], createdAt, updatedAt }`.
+- `404`; `503` dependencies unavailable; `401`/`403`.
+
+### `GET /retention-policy`
+**Description**: The tenant-level retention policy.
+**Auth**: Bearer; scope `knowledge-spaces:read`.
+**Responses**:
+- `200`: `RetentionPolicy` `{ id, tenantId, knowledgeSpaceId: uuid|null, scope: enum(tenant|knowledge_space), answerTraceRetentionDays: int>0, evidenceCacheRetentionDays: int>0, inactiveProjectionRetentionDays: int>0, parseArtifactVersions: int>0, rawDocumentRetentionDays: int>0|null, sessionInactivityMinutes: int>0, createdAt, updatedAt }`.
+- `401`/`403`.
+
+`answerTraceRetentionDays` is the operational cutoff consumed by bounded asynchronous retention
+cleanup. Updating the policy does not synchronously delete traces, and a trace can become
+unreadable earlier when its permission snapshot, current content visibility, or knowledge-space
+lifecycle state no longer passes authorization.
+
+The default operational policy is 90 days for AnswerTrace, 7 days for evidence cache, 30 days for
+inactive projections, three parse-artifact versions, no raw-document expiry, and 30 minutes of
+session inactivity. Tenant and knowledge-space policies are stored independently; an absent
+knowledge-space policy receives its own defaults rather than inheriting the tenant row. The
+manifest field `retentionPolicy.traceRetentionDays` is a separate manifest value; AnswerTrace
+cleanup uses this API's `answerTraceRetentionDays`.
+
+Retention policy routes are declarative and there is no public synchronous cleanup endpoint. A
+deployment must schedule the bounded retention workers for a configured cutoff to take effect.
+
+### `PATCH /retention-policy`
+**Description**: Update the tenant-level retention policy.
+**Auth**: Bearer; scope `knowledge-spaces:write`.

+
+## 严重程度：高（High）
+
+### H1. `packages/api/src/index.ts` 单文件 24,095 行——God File
+
+**位置**：`packages/api/src/index.ts`（24,095 行），`packages/api/src/gateway.test.ts`（14,570 行）
+
+**描述**：该文件包含了：
+
+- ~40 个接口定义
+- ~30 个内存仓库实现
+- ~10 个数据库仓库实现
+- HTTP 中间件（auth、rate limit、trace）
+- ~50 个 OpenAPI 路由定义和处理器
+- MCP 服务器实现
+- Safe Shell 解析器和执行器
+- 检索规划器、评估运行器、证据组装器
+- 上下文富化、实体/关系抽取流程
+- 图索引仓库
+- 文档编译工作流
+- 研究任务状态机
+- Agent 工作区快照/回放服务
+
+**影响**：
+
+- IDE 性能显著下降（类型推断、自动补全变慢）
+- 合并冲突频繁发生
+- 代码审查困难，认知负载过高
+- 无法对单一职责进行独立测试和部署
+
+**建议**：按领域拆分为独立模块（routes/、middleware/、repositories/、mcp/、retrieval/ 等）。项目中已有子模块（`document-compilation-job.ts`、`retrieval-regression.ts`）证明团队知道如何拆分。
+
+---
+
+### H2. 数据库 Schema 无外键约束
+
+**位置**：`packages/database/src/schema.ts`
+
+**描述**：所有表定义中没有任何 `REFERENCES` 子句。`knowledge_nodes` 引用了 `knowledge_space_id`、`document_asset_id`、`parse_artifact_id`，但数据库不会强制执行引用完整性。
+
+**影响**：
+
+- 部分失败会导致孤儿行和悬挂引用
+- 删除操作无级联保护，可能产生数据不一致
+- 无法依赖数据库保证数据完整性，完全依赖应用层
+
+**建议**：为关键外键关系添加 `REFERENCES` 约束，配合 `ON DELETE CASCADE` 或 `ON DELETE SET NULL`。特别是 `graph_relations` 引用 `graph_entities` 等场景。
+
+---
+
+### H3. `collectPlatformHealth` 不捕获异常
+
+**位置**：`packages/core/src/platform-adapter.ts:268-286`
+
+**描述**：如果任何一个子适配器的 `health()` 方法抛出异常（而不是返回 `false`），整个 `Promise.all` 会拒绝，导致健康检查端点完全崩溃，而非报告该组件不健康。
+
+**影响**：单个适配器故障会导致整个健康端点不可用，运维无法获取其他组件的健康状态。
+
+**建议**：为每个子适配器的 health 调用包裹 try-catch，捕获异常后映射为 `false`。
+
+```typescript
+const dbHealthy = await adapter.database.health().catch(() => false);
+```
+
+---
+
+### H4. Admin 表单绕过 BFF 直接 POST 到 API
+
+**位置**：`apps/admin/app/page.tsx:435`、`page.tsx:728`、`page.tsx:914`
+
+**描述**：表单的 `action` 属性指向 `http://localhost:8787`（API 服务器），完全绕过了 BFF 代理的安全控制：
+
+- body 大小限制
+- 路由白名单
+- header 过滤
+- cookie 剥离
+
+且没有附带 `Authorization` header，请求会静默失败。
+
+**影响**：安全边界被架构性地绕过；表单提交功能实际不可用。
+
+**建议**：表单应提交到 BFF 代理路由（`/api/bff/...`），由 BFF 添加 Authorization header 后转发到 API。
+
+---
+
+### H5. BFF 路由白名单缺失多个功能路由
+
+**位置**：`apps/admin/lib/bff.ts:131-236`
+
+**描述**：API client 中存在以下方法，但 BFF 代理中没有对应的白名单路由：
+
+| API Client 方法 | 请求路径 | BFF 状态 |
+|-----------------|----------|----------|
+| `traverseGraph` | `/knowledge-spaces/{id}/graph/traverse` | 缺失 |
+| `listKnowledgeFs` | `/knowledge-spaces/{id}/fs/ls` | 缺失 |
+| `diffKnowledgeFs` | `/knowledge-spaces/{id}/fs/diff` | 缺失 |
+| `listSemanticView` | `/knowledge-spaces/{id}/fs/ls` | 缺失 |
+
+**影响**：通过 Admin UI 访问这些功能会返回 404。
+
+**建议**：在 `resolveAllowedRoute` 中为缺失的路由添加白名单条目。
+
+---
+
+### H6. 无全局错误处理器
+
+**位置**：`packages/api/src/index.ts`
+
+**描述**：未注册 `app.onError()` 或 `app.notFound()` 处理器。未处理的异常会泄露栈信息（在非生产环境下），未知路由会返回 Hono 默认响应。
+
+**影响**：
+
+- 生产环境可能泄露内部实现细节
+- 错误响应格式不统一
+- 无法集中记录未预期异常
+
+**建议**：
+
+```typescript
+app.onError((err, c) => {
+  console.error(err);
+  return c.json({ error: "Internal server error" }, 500);
+});
+
+app.notFound((c) => {
+  return c.json({ error: "Not found" }, 404);
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+## 严重程度：中（Medium）
+
+### M1. `quoteIdentifier` 不转义内嵌引号——SQL 注入风险
+
+**位置**：`packages/adapters/src/database.ts:356-358`、`packages/database/src/schema.ts:652-654`
+
+**描述**：
+
+```typescript
+function quoteIdentifier(dialect: DatabaseDialect, identifier: string): string {
+  return dialect === "postgres" ? `"${identifier}"` : `\`${identifier}\``;
+}
+```
+
+如果标识符包含双引号（`"`），生成的 SQL 为 `"table"name"`，会破坏引号闭合并可能导致注入。
+
+**风险等级**：实际风险低（标识符来自开发者硬编码的常量，且 `requireTable` / `validateColumns` 限制了输入），但函数本身不安全。
+
+**建议**：添加转义逻辑或输入验证：
+
+```typescript
+function quoteIdentifier(dialect: DatabaseDialect, identifier: string): string {
+  if (dialect === "postgres") {
+    return `"${identifier.replace(/"/g, '""')}"`;
+  }
+  return `\`${identifier.replace(/`/g, '``')}\``;
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### M2. BFF 在检查大小前读取完整请求体
+
+**位置**：`apps/admin/lib/bff.ts:250`
+
+**描述**：`request.arrayBuffer()` 将整个 body 读入内存后才在 line 251 检查大小。恶意客户端可以发送 multi-GB body 导致服务器内存耗尽。
+
+**建议**：改用流式读取并逐块检查大小，类似 `api-client.ts:1055-1087` 中 `readBoundedTextResponse` 的实现。
+
+---
+
+### M3. `countTokens` 名称误导——实际是词计数器
+
+**位置**：`crates/knowledge_compute/src/lib.rs:41-71`
+
+**描述**：该函数不是 BPE tokenizer，而是基于空格的词计数 + CJK 字符计数。对英文文本系统性低估：
+
+| 输入 | 本函数结果 | tiktoken 结果 | 差异 |
+|------|-----------|---------------|------|
+| `"unbelievable"` | 1 | 3 (`un`+`believ`+`able`) | 低估 2x |
+| `"KnowledgeFS parses documents."` | 4 | ~5+ | 低估 ~25% |
+
+**影响**：`pack_evidence_json`（line 589）依赖此函数控制 LLM 上下文窗口预算。系统性低估会导致 evidence packing 超出实际上下文限制。
+
+**建议**：
+
+- 重命名为 `countApproxTokens` 或 `countWords` 并文档说明近似语义
+- 或引入乘数校正因子（如英文 ×1.3）
+- 长期考虑引入轻量级 BPE 实现
+
+---
+
+### M4. 缓存无内存字节上限
+
+**位置**：`packages/adapters/src/cache.ts`
+
+**描述**：缓存只限制 `maxEntries`，没有 `maxTotalBytes` 限制。10,000 个条目每个 100MB 就能耗尽内存。`stats()` 方法已经计算了 `totalBytes`，添加检查很简单。
+
+**建议**：在 `set()` 中增加 `totalBytes` 检查，超限时触发驱逐。
+
+---
+
+### M5. 9 处 `context: any` 类型断言
+
+**位置**：`packages/api/src/index.ts:19946-20276`（9 处）
+
+**描述**：9 个路由处理器将 Hono context 断言为 `any`（biome-ignore 注释说明是因为 TS2589 类型递归深度限制）。OpenAPI 路由 schema 仍在运行时验证输入，但编译时无法捕获处理器内部的字段访问错误。
+
+**影响**：拼写错误如 `context.req.valid("jsom")` 会静默编译通过。
+
+**建议**：将验证后的输入提取到显式类型的局部变量中，而非将整个 context 断言为 `any`。
+
+---
+
+### M6. SSE 解析器不符合规范
+
+**位置**：`packages/generation/src/index.ts:2786-2827`
+
+**描述**：
+
+1. **多行 data 字段未合并**：SSE 规范要求同一事件内连续的 `data:` 行用 `\n` 拼接。当前实现在遇到新 `data:` 行且无事件名时会刷新为独立事件（line 2817-2819），不符合规范。
+2. **非流式处理**：`readTextResponse` 读取完整响应体后 `parseSseEvents` 才开始处理，对长时间运行的生成任务会一直阻塞直到响应完成。
+3. **不支持 retry/id 字段**：SSE 规范中的重连机制未实现。
+
+**建议**：实现增量式 SSE 解析，逐块消费 `ReadableStream` 并在完整帧到达时 yield 事件。
+
+---
+
+### M7. 作业队列幂等键索引漂移
+
+**位置**：`packages/adapters/src/cloudflare-job-queue.ts:49`、`packages/adapters/src/pg-boss-job-queue.ts:53`
+
+**描述**：外层适配器和内层 inline adapter 各自维护独立的幂等键索引。当 inline adapter 清理终态任务并移除幂等键时，外层索引仍保留该键，阻止后续使用相同幂等键重新入队。
+
+**建议**：外层适配器应在终态转换时同步清理自己的幂等键索引，或委托给 inline adapter 统一管理。
+
+---
+
+### M8. 无增量迁移支持
+
+**位置**：`packages/database/src/migration-file.ts`、`packages/database/scripts/migration-artifacts.ts`
+
+**描述**：
+
+- 整个迁移系统只生成单个 `0001_initial_schema` 迁移文件
+- 使用 `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS` / `CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS`，只能处理首次创建
+- 无 `schema_migrations` 版本追踪表
+- 无迁移运行器
+- 无回滚能力
+- 无法处理列添加、重命名、类型变更
+
+**影响**：Schema 演进只能通过手写 SQL 完成，无法自动化。随着项目成长，这会成为严重瓶颈。
+
+**建议**：引入增量迁移机制（考虑 drizzle-kit、prisma migrate 或自建版本追踪）。
+
+---
+
+### M9. TiDB 兼容性问题
+
+**位置**：`packages/database/src/schema.ts`
+
+**描述**：
+
+1. **FULLTEXT 索引类型错误**（line 216-220）：TiDB FULLTEXT 索引要求 `VARCHAR(n)` 类型，但 `fts_document` 定义为 `TEXT`，迁移执行会失败。
+
+2. **CREATE INDEX 非幂等**（line 640）：TiDB 的 `CREATE INDEX` 语句缺少 `IF NOT EXISTS`，重复执行会报错。PostgreSQL 分支（line 633）已包含此子句。
+
+**建议**：
+
+- 将 TiDB 的 `fts_document` 改为 `VARCHAR(65535)` 或适当长度
+- 为 TiDB 索引创建添加 `IF NOT EXISTS`
+
+---
+
+### M10. `stableJson` 中 null 处理 Bug
+
+**位置**：`packages/embeddings/src/index.ts:1337-1349`
+
+**描述**：`typeof null === "object"` 为 `true`，导致 `null` 值进入对象分支后 `Object.entries(null as any)` 抛出异常。`packages/generation/src/index.ts:3066` 中的同名函数已正确处理此情况。
+
+**建议**：添加显式 null 检查：
+
+```typescript
+if (value === null) return "null";
+```
+
+---
+
+### M11. Cloudflare/Node 适配器静默回退到内存存储
+
+**位置**：`packages/adapters/src/cloudflare.ts:82-88`、`packages/adapters/src/node.ts:81-86`
+
+**描述**：环境变量缺失时静默回退到内存对象存储，但 `kind` 仍报告为生产值（`"r2"` / `"s3-compatible"`）。
+
+**影响**：
+
+- 生产环境重启后数据丢失且无任何警告
+- 运行时无法通过 `kind` 字段区分真实存储和内存回退
+- 健康检查会报告存储为"健康"但数据实际不持久
+
+**建议**：
+
+- 回退时 `kind` 应设为 `"memory"` 而非伪装为生产类型
+- 输出明确的 warning 日志
+- 考虑在生产模式下拒绝启动而非回退
+
+---
+
+### M12. 未定义向量相似度索引
+
+> 状态更新：原建议中的全局 `vector(1536)` 不适用于由 plugin-daemon 动态选择的模型。
+> 当前实现使用无固定维度的 `vector` / `VECTOR` 保存不同模型的向量，并在检索时按实际
+> 模型和维度隔离。若需要 ANN，应针对具体模型与维度创建 PostgreSQL partial/expression
+> HNSW 索引，或在 TiDB 中使用独立的固定维度表，不能创建跨模型的通用向量索引。
+
+**位置**：`packages/database/src/schema.ts`
+
+**描述**：Schema 定义了 `dense_vector` 列（使用 pgvector 的 `vector` 类型），但没有创建任何向量相似度索引（IVFFlat、HNSW 等）。且 `vectorColumn`（line 89-96）未指定维度参数。
+
+**影响**：向量相似度搜索会退化为全表扫描，性能随数据量线性下降。
+
+**建议**：
+
+- 为高流量的具体模型和维度建立独立 ANN 索引或固定维度存储
+- 查询必须使用建立索引时相同的模型，并在距离计算前校验实际向量维度
+
+---
+
+### M13. Cloudflare 缓存 kind 伪装
+
+**位置**：`packages/adapters/src/cloudflare.ts:39-41`
+
+**描述**：
+
+```typescript
+cache: {
+  ...createMemoryCacheAdapter({ maxEntries: 10_000 }),
+  kind: "kv",
+},
+```
+
+创建了内存缓存但将 `kind` 覆写为 `"kv"`。运行时行为是内存缓存，但自我报告为 KV。
+
+**影响**：健康面板或运维监控检查 `kind === "kv"` 会得出错误结论。
+
+**建议**：保持诚实的 `"memory"` kind 直到真正实现 KV 适配器。
+
+---
+
+## 严重程度：低（Low）
+
+### L1. 适配器无生命周期管理方法
+
+**位置**：`packages/core/src/platform-adapter.ts`
+
+**描述**：所有适配器接口（DatabaseAdapter、ObjectStorageAdapter、CacheAdapter、JobQueueAdapter）均无 `close()` / `dispose()` / `shutdown()` 方法。持有连接池、Redis 连接等资源的适配器无法被优雅关闭。
+
+**影响**：测试中资源泄漏；生产环境优雅关闭时连接不释放。
+
+---
+
+### L2. `KnowledgeFsVirtualPathSchema` 正则与命名空间枚举手动同步
+
+**位置**：`packages/core/src/models.ts:171-173`
+
+**描述**：路径验证正则硬编码了 `sources|knowledge|evidence|workspaces`，必须与 `KnowledgeFsNamespaceSchema`（line 139）保持同步。新增命名空间时容易遗漏正则更新。
+
+**建议**：从枚举选项程序化生成正则。
+
+---
+
+### L3. 多个实体 Schema 缺少 `updatedAt` 字段
+
+**位置**：`packages/core/src/models.ts`、`packages/database/src/schema.ts`
+
+**描述**：以下实体有 `createdAt` 和 `version` 但无 `updatedAt`：
+
+- `DocumentAssetSchema`（models.ts:43）
+- `ParseArtifactSchema`
+- `KnowledgeNodeSchema`
+- `IndexProjectionSchema`
+
+数据库层的 `knowledge_nodes`、`index_projections`、`knowledge_paths`、`evidence_bundles`、`answer_trace_steps` 同样缺少 `updated_at` 列。
+
+---
+
+### L4. 命令注册表 `execute` 泛型不安全
+
+**位置**：`packages/core/src/command-registry.ts:225-229`
+
+**描述**：`register` 方法通过 `as StoredCommandDefinition` 擦除泛型参数，`execute` 方法的 `TOutput` 泛型仅是装饰性的——实际通过 `as TOutput` 断言返回，无类型安全保证。
+
+---
+
+### L5. Dockerfile 生产环境问题
+
+**位置**：`apps/api/Dockerfile`
+
+**描述**：
+
+1. **运行时转译**（line 36）：`CMD ["pnpm", ..., "start"]` 通过 `tsx` 在启动时转译 TypeScript，增加启动时间且引入不必要的运行时依赖
+2. **Root 用户运行**：无 `USER` 指令，容器以 root 身份运行
+3. **`tsx` 放在 `dependencies` 而非 `devDependencies`**
+
+**建议**：添加构建步骤产出 JavaScript；添加 `USER node` 指令。
+
+---
+
+### L6. WASM 构建流水线缺少优化
+
+**位置**：`scripts/wasm-build.mjs`、`Cargo.toml`
+
+**描述**：
+
+1. `cargo build` 缺少 `--locked` 标志，CI 构建可能不可复现
+2. 未运行 `wasm-opt`，WASM 二进制可减少 10-30% 体积
+3. 工作区 `Cargo.toml` 无 `[profile.release]` 优化配置（建议 `lto = true`、`codegen-units = 1`、`opt-level = "s"`）
+
+---
+
+### L7. TypeScript WASM 包装层性能开销
+
+**位置**：`packages/compute/src/index.ts`
+
+**描述**：每次 WASM 调用经历：`JSON.stringify` → WASM → `JSON.parse` → Zod validate → `JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(...))` clone → Zod validate again。即 2 次序列化、2 次反序列化、2 次 Zod 验证。
+
+**影响**：对 `countTokens` 等轻量计算，包装层开销可能超过实际计算成本。
+
+**建议**：
+
+- 消除重复验证（clone 函数中的 Zod re-parse 可移除）
+- 对简单返回值（如 `countTokens` 返回单个数字）提供快速路径
+
+---
+
+### L8. LCS Diff 算法 O(n*m) 内存
+
+**位置**：`crates/knowledge_compute/src/lib.rs:159`
+
+**描述**：`build_lcs_diff` 分配 `(old_len+1) * (new_len+1)` 个 u32。默认 `max_diff_cells=2,000,000` 限制在 ~8 MB，但 `max_tokens=20,000` 暗示最大 400M cells——两个默认值不一致。实际有效最大方阵为 ~1414×1414 tokens。
+
+**建议**：文档说明有效限制；长期考虑 Myers diff（对相似文件更高效）。
+
+---
+
+### L9. 公共工具函数跨 7+ 文件重复定义
+
+**位置**：全项目
+
+**描述**：以下函数/模式在多个文件中重复实现：
+
+| 函数 | 出现次数 | 涉及包 |
+|------|---------|--------|
+| `cloneJson` (JSON round-trip clone) | 7+ | api, compute, adapters |
+| `requiredString` | 5+ | api |
+| `validatePositive` / `validatePositiveInteger` | 5+ | api, admin |
+| `formatPercent` | 3 | admin |
+| `formatMs` | 3 | admin |
+| `isRecord` | 2 | admin |
+| `stableJson` | 2 | embeddings, generation |
+| `boundedResponseText` | 2 | embeddings, generation |
+| `FakeS3Client` (测试) | 2 | adapters |
+
+**建议**：提取到 `packages/core/src/utils.ts` 或新建 `packages/shared`。
+
+---
+
+### L10. 非拉丁字符 Token 计数不准
+
+**位置**：`crates/knowledge_compute/src/lib.rs:73-77`
+
+**描述**：`is_latin_token_grapheme` 只检查 ASCII。带重音的拉丁字符（如 `é`、`ñ`、`ü`）不是 ASCII 字母，会被当作独立 token 而非词的一部分。
+
+示例：`"café"` → 正确应为 1 token，实际因 `é` 非 ASCII 导致拉丁词被拆分。
+
+---
+
+### L11. `formatPercent` 浮点偏差
+
+**位置**：`apps/admin/lib/retrieval-studio.ts:218`、`apps/admin/lib/failed-query-diagnostics.ts:193`
+
+**描述**：`Math.round(value * 100 + 1e-9)` 中的 `+ 1e-9` epsilon 引入系统性向上取整偏差。`evaluation-dashboard.ts:154` 中的同名函数不含此偏差——实现不一致。
+
+示例：`value = 0.004999999` → 产出 `1` 而非 `0`。
+
+---
+
+### L12. "1 steps" 语法错误
+
+**位置**：`apps/admin/lib/trace-comparison.ts:149`
+
+**描述**：`stepCountLabel` 始终使用复数 `` `${trace.steps.length} steps` ``，当恰好 1 步时显示 "1 steps"。
+
+---
+
+### L13. Provider 无 Retry/Backoff 和 AbortSignal 支持
+
+**位置**：`packages/embeddings/src/index.ts`、`packages/generation/src/index.ts`
+
+**描述**：
+
+1. HTTP provider 对 429 (Rate Limit)、503 等可重试错误无自动重试机制
+2. 所有 provider 接口不接受 `AbortSignal`，长时间运行的 embedding/generation 调用无法被调用方取消
+
+---
+
+### L14. Embedding Provider 未传递 Voyage `input_type`
+
+**位置**：`packages/embeddings/src/index.ts:718-723`
+
+**描述**：`requestBody` 函数只为 Cohere 传递 `input_type`。Voyage API 同样支持 `input_type` 来区分 query 和 document embedding，但被静默忽略。
+
+**影响**：Voyage embedding 质量可能低于预期（未区分查询和文档向量）。
+
+---
+
+### L15. Research Workflow 引用计数 Off-by-one
+
+**位置**：`packages/api/src/research-workflow.ts:193`
+
+**描述**：`if (citations.length > maxCitations)` 在 push 之后检查，允许收集 `maxCitations + 1` 条引用后才抛出错误。
+
+**建议**：改为 `>=` 或在 push 之前检查。
+
+---
+
+### L16. 任务规划器硬编码 Token 价格
+
+**位置**：`packages/api/src/research-task-planning.ts:293-294`
+
+**描述**：`inputTokens * 0.000003 + outputTokens * 0.000012` 硬编码了特定模型的定价，无法配置且未说明对应哪个模型。
+
+**建议**：将价格常量提取为可配置参数。
+
+---
+
+### L17. Rate Limit 响应泄露租户信息
+
+**位置**：`packages/api/src/index.ts:21987-21998`
+
+**描述**：429 响应 body 包含 `tenantId` 和 `subjectId`。虽然客户端已知自身身份，但在错误响应中暴露可被中间层日志捕获用于侦察。
+
+---
+
+### L18. 缓存驱逐策略是 FIFO 而非 LRU
+
+**位置**：`packages/adapters/src/cache.ts:70-77`
+
+**描述**：`evictOldest` 删除 Map 中第一个键（按插入顺序）。`get()` 不会将条目移到 Map 末尾，因此频繁访问的热点条目仍可能被驱逐。
+
+---
+
+### L19. `platform-adapter.ts` 中 `health()` 与 `collectPlatformHealth` 双路径
+
+**位置**：`packages/core/src/platform-adapter.ts:259-266` vs `268-286`
+
+**描述**：`PlatformAdapter` 接口有自己的 `health()` 方法，同时存在独立的 `collectPlatformHealth()` 函数。消费者不清楚应调用哪个。测试只覆盖了 `collectPlatformHealth`。
+
+---
+
+### L20. 防御性克隆过度（Embeddings）
+
+**位置**：`packages/embeddings/src/index.ts`
+
+**描述**：`cloneDenseVectors` 在每条 embed 路径上调用 3+ 次（parse → build → return）。对 128 条文本 × 3072 维向量，每次 clone 复制 ~1.2M 个浮点数。
+
+**建议**：文档化所有权语义，减少不必要的中间 clone。
+
+---
+
+### L21. `readJsonResponse` 无响应体大小限制
+
+**位置**：`apps/admin/lib/api-client.ts:1047-1053`
+
+**描述**：直接调用 `response.json()` 无大小限制。恶意或故障的上游服务可返回超大 JSON 响应耗尽客户端内存。同文件中 `readBoundedTextResponse` 已有大小限制——不一致。
+
+---
+
+### L22. 结构化错误类型缺失
+
+**位置**：`packages/embeddings/`、`packages/generation/`、`packages/parsers/`
+
+**描述**：除 `GenerationModelUnavailableError` 外，所有错误都是裸 `new Error(...)`。Rate limiting、超时、输入验证、解析失败等场景无法被调用方程序化区分。
+
+**建议**：引入结构化错误类型：`ProviderRateLimitError`、`ProviderTimeoutError`、`InputValidationError`、`ParseError` 等。
+
+---
+
+### L23. Markdown 解析器标题深度跳跃产生 undefined
+
+**位置**：`packages/parsers/src/index.ts:582-597`
+
+**描述**：如果 H3 出现但之前没有 H2，`sectionPath` 会变为 `[h1Text, undefined, h3Text]`。`undefined` 会传播到解析产物中。
+
+---
+
+### L24. `ObjectStorageAdapter.getObject` 强制全量内存加载
+
+**位置**：`packages/core/src/platform-adapter.ts:155`
+
+**描述**：返回 `Uint8Array | null`，对大对象强制全量内存加载。无流式读取接口。
+
+---
+
+### L25. Research Workflow 中独立操作串行执行
+
+**位置**：`packages/api/src/research-workflow.ts:140-154`
+
+**描述**：`sourceComparison.compare` 和 `freshnessChecking.check` 相互独立（都只需要 `evidenceBundle` 和 `knowledgeSpaceId`），但当前串行执行。
+
+**建议**：用 `Promise.all` 并行执行以减少延迟。
+
+---
+
+## 优先行动建议
+

+# Figma New RAG 后端对齐迭代计划
+
+## 1. 目标与范围
+
+本计划把 Figma `New RAG` 仅作为产品能力与业务流程的需求输入，用于审查和迭代当前后端服务；
+不在本仓库实现页面、组件、样式、前端 API client 或 BFF。后端范围包括：
+
+- Knowledge Space 基础信息、成员权限、API Access 与安全删除。
+- 空间级 reasoning、embedding、rerank、retrieval depth、Top K、Score Threshold 配置。
+- Source provider、连接凭据、OAuth、抓取预览、同步任务与同步策略。
+- Document 上传、逻辑文档 revision、编译任务、chunks、metadata 与索引发布。
+- Overview、Evidence History、Quality、Bad Case Replay 与审计活动。
+
+不在本计划中改变的既有约束：
+
+- Embedding 维度由用户选择的 plugin-daemon 模型实际能力决定，禁止写死为 1536。
+- 每个 Knowledge Space 先独立持久化用户选择的 embedding route；首次激活后再持久化由该模型实际响应派生的 vector-space 标识、维度与 revision。
+- `Fast` 使用普通混合检索 + rerank。
+- `Research` 使用 Summary / Outline / PageIndex。
+- `Deep` 使用普通混合检索 + Graph + rerank。
+- Graph 不进入 Research 路由，Outline/PageIndex 不进入 Deep 路由。
+- Hono API 是业务、鉴权和产品状态的唯一服务边界；任何前端或 BFF 集成都属于仓库外调用方。
+
+## 2. 实施原则
+
+1. **安全边界先于设置表单**：先修复越权和敏感信息泄漏，再开放新的管理 API。
+2. **候选版本先构建、验证后发布**：解析、embedding、多模态和 smoke evaluation 全部成功前，新索引不可被查询。
+3. **配置版本化**：空间设置、检索配置和成员策略使用 `revision`/CAS，避免并发保存覆盖。
+4. **长任务持久化**：crawl、sync、upload、reindex、delete、replay 均使用 durable job，不依赖单个 HTTP 连接或进程内 Map。
+5. **密钥与业务元数据分离**：Source DTO 永不返回明文凭据，数据库只保存 `credentialRef`。
+6. **旧接口兼容迁移**：先 dual-read/default fallback，再 backfill，最后切换写路径并移除旧字段。
+7. **逐阶段可验收**：每个迭代都必须有单元、repository、route 和失败路径测试，不把验证集中到最后。
+

+
+## 4. 迭代 0：风险止血
+
+### 4.1 Source 响应脱敏
+
+任务：
+
+- 在 Source API 输出边界增加统一 sanitizer。
+- 删除或掩码 `credentials`、`apiKey`、`accessToken`、`refreshToken`、`secret`、`password` 等字段。
+- sanitizer 必须递归处理嵌套对象和数组，且不得修改 repository 中保存的原对象。
+- list/get/create/update/crawl/import 等所有返回 Source 的 API 使用同一输出映射。
+- 保持 connector 内部读取旧 `metadata.credentials` 的兼容性；Secret Vault 在迭代 1 完成。
+
+验收：
+
+- 任意 read scope 响应中不出现凭据值。
+- 非敏感 metadata 完整保留。
+- 输入对象未被原地修改。
+- route/schema 单元测试覆盖嵌套字段、大小写变体和数组。
+
+### 4.2 Research durable job 参数完整性
+
+任务：
+
+- 将请求中的 `mode`、`topK` 写入 job record/payload。
+- worker 从持久化 payload 构建 retrieval plan，不重新使用全局默认值覆盖。
+- 对旧 job payload 提供默认值兼容。
+- 确认 retry/resume 后参数不丢失。
+
+验收：
+
+- 同一个 Research 请求的同步/异步路径使用相同 mode、topK。
+- job serialize/deserialize、retry 和 worker 测试通过。
+
+### 4.3 索引发布门禁
+
+任务：
+
+- reindex 只构建 `building/candidate` projection。
+- multimodal、smoke evaluation 和所有必要检查成功后才发布为 `ready/active`。
+- 失败时 candidate 标记 `failed` 或清理，但保留旧 active revision 可查询。
+- 发布动作使用 repository CAS；并发编译不得覆盖更新的 active revision。
+
+验收：
+
+- smoke evaluation 失败时，新 projection 不出现在检索集合中。
+- 新版本成功前旧版本持续可用。
+- 成功发布只有一个 active generation。
+- 单元测试覆盖成功、失败、取消和并发冲突。
+
+### 4.4 迭代 0 完成定义
+
+- 定向测试全部通过。
+- `@knowledge/api` typecheck 通过。
+- Source 公共响应无敏感字段。
+- 异步 Research 参数与请求一致。
+- 编译失败内容无法被任何检索路径命中。
+
+## 5. 迭代 1：Space ACL、主体鉴权与 API Access
+
+### 5.1 数据模型
+
+新增建议：
+
+- `knowledge_space_members`
+  - `tenant_id`, `space_id`, `subject_id`
+  - `role`: `owner | editor | viewer`
+  - `created_at`, `updated_at`, `policy_revision`
+  - 唯一键 `(tenant_id, space_id, subject_id)`
+- `knowledge_space_access_policy`
+  - `visibility`: `only_me | all_members | partial_members`
+  - `revision`, `updated_by`, timestamps
+- `knowledge_space_api_access`
+  - `enabled`, `revision`, `disabled_at`, `updated_by`
+  - API key 仅保存 hash、prefix、last_used_at、revoked_at
+
+规则：
+
+- 每个 Space 必须至少一个 owner。
+- `partial_members` 至少一个成员，否则保存失败。
+- viewer 只能读取，不能修改设置、上传、同步、删除或进入危险区。
+- tenant scope 是第一层隔离，space membership 是第二层授权，二者缺一不可。
+
+### 5.2 API 与中间件
+
+新增/调整：
+
+- `GET/PATCH /knowledge-spaces/:id/access-policy`
+- `GET/POST /knowledge-spaces/:id/members`
+- `PATCH/DELETE /knowledge-spaces/:id/members/:subjectId`
+- `GET/PATCH /knowledge-spaces/:id/api-access`
+- `POST /knowledge-spaces/:id/api-keys`
+- `DELETE /knowledge-spaces/:id/api-keys/:keyId`
+- 在所有 space/source/document/query 路由统一调用 space authorization guard。
+- Query、MCP、Service API 和 Agent Access 在 API Access 关闭后立即拒绝新请求。
+
+调用方身份契约：
+
+- Knowledge API 只接受受信认证层产生的可验证 subject 与权限上下文，不能把共享管理员 token 当作用户身份。
+- 所有授权在 Hono API 内执行，不能依赖调用方隐藏按钮或预过滤资源。
+- 浏览器会话、Origin/CSRF 和 BFF 代理属于仓库外客户端职责，不在本项目实现。
+
+### 5.3 凭据迁移
+
+- 定义 `SecretStoreAdapter`：`put/get/delete/rotate`。
+- 新建 Source Connection 只保存 `credentialRef`。
+- backfill 旧 `metadata.credentials` 后清除明文字段。
+- 迁移期间 dual-read：优先 `credentialRef`，旧字段仅作为短期 fallback 并记录告警。
+
+### 5.4 验收
+
+- 跨 Space 读写均返回 403，不能依赖前端隐藏。
+- viewer 所有 mutation 返回 403。
+- API Access 关闭后 Service API/Agent 请求立即失效。
+- Source list/get/create/update 的响应和日志均无凭据。
+- 所有 mutation 都需要可验证主体，并在后端校验对应 space role。
+
+## 6. 迭代 2：安全删除与生命周期一致性
+
+### 6.1 通用删除状态机
+
+新增 durable deletion job：
+
+`requested -> quiescing -> deleting_objects -> deleting_derived_data -> deleting_primary_data -> completed`
+
+失败进入 `failed_retryable`，每个阶段保存 cursor/checkpoint 和幂等键。
+
+### 6.2 Space 删除
+
+- API 要求 owner/admin、完整知识库名称 challenge 和 expected revision。
+- CAS 将 Space 标记为 `deleting`，立即拒绝新 upload/sync/query/settings mutation。
+- 停止或 drain crawl、sync、compile、research、reindex job。
+- 分页枚举并删除 raw/artifact/image/staging 对象。
+- 清理/redact trace、evidence、cache、projection、outline、graph、path 等派生数据。
+- 最后删除主记录并保留最小 tombstone/audit。
+
+### 6.3 Source 与 Document 删除
+
+- Source 先标 `deleting`，再按 checkpoint 删除或 detach 文档，最后删除 Source。
+- `documents=keep` 必须清除 source reference，不允许悬挂 sourceId。
+- Document 先保存所有 object key，再事务清理派生引用，最后幂等删除对象。
+- 删除/替换 revision 后失效相关 cache，并真正执行 trace/evidence redaction。
+
+### 6.4 验收
+
+- 任意阶段失败后可从 checkpoint 重试。
+- 超过单批上限时返回未完成状态，不能误报 204 completed。
+- 删除结束后 DB、Object Storage、cache、trace/evidence 不残留可识别内容。
+- 活动 job 不会在 tombstone 后重新发布索引。
+
+## 7. 迭代 3：空间级 RetrievalProfile 与模型迁移
+
+### 7.1 配置模型
+
+建议建立版本化 `retrieval_profile`：
+
+```ts
+type RetrievalProfile = {
+  revision: number;
+  reasoningModel: {
+    pluginId: string;
+    provider: string;
+    model: string;
+  };
+  embedding: {
+    pluginId: string;
+    provider: string;
+    model: string;
+    vectorSpaceId: string;
+    dimension: number;
+    revision: number;
+  };
+  rerank: {
+    enabled: boolean;
+    pluginId?: string;
+    provider?: string;
+    model?: string;
+  };
+  defaultMode: "fast" | "deep" | "research";
+  topK: number;
+  scoreThreshold: {
+    enabled: boolean;
+    value?: number;
+    stage: "rerank" | "normalized-final";
+  };
+};
+```
+
+覆盖优先级：`validated request override > frozen active space profile`。pending selection 在完成能力验证前不得被 query/ingestion 消费，生产不回退 deployment default。
+
+### 7.2 Score Threshold 语义
+
+- Fast 的 RRF score 与 reranker score 不同，禁止直接共用未归一化的 0.5。
+- `rerank` stage 只允许 rerank 启用时使用。
+- `normalized-final` 必须对各 retrieval path 输出稳定的 `[0, 1]` 归一化分数。
+- 明确 threshold 是过滤 evidence，还是触发 no-evidence/low-confidence；生成器不得绕过过滤结果。
+
+### 7.3 模型目录与预检
+
+- plugin-daemon 暴露 model/provider/capability catalog。
+- 新建空空间与尚无 active profile/head 的未发布空间，保存 reasoning/embedding/rerank 时只 CAS 持久化
+  `pendingModelConfiguration` 的 selection/digest/revision，返回 `pending-validation`，plugin-daemon 调用必须为 0。
+- 首个文档的 durable async compilation attempt 取得 lease 后才执行 tenant-scoped catalog、credential 和真实 invocation
+  preflight；该阶段从 embedding 实际响应取得 dimension/metric/model identity，派生 vectorSpaceId 并激活 immutable
+  embedding/retrieval profile heads。
+- 激活必须在 daemon 调用前后重验 pending digest/revision；首个 embedding/retrieval profile、两个 active heads 与
+  pending clear 在同一个数据库事务中提交，再用 fenced `bindInitialProfiles` 将 exact refs 恰好一次绑定到 attempt，
+  然后才进入 parser/index worker；过时验证结果不得激活，也不得暴露 partial tuple。
+- 非可重试失败仅保存 allow-listed `validation-failed` 代码/时间/retryable，不回显 provider 原始错误、候选 selection
+  或凭据；用户可修改 pending config 后由下次 durable attempt 重试。
+- 已发布空间保持旧 active tuple 可用，模型/检索设置变更走 capability validation + durable candidate migration，不得用
+  pending selection 直接覆盖当前 profile/publication。
+- Research 的索引/检索契约是 Summary/Outline/PageIndex，首次模型激活与 query-time 检索都不依赖 Graph；Fast/Deep
+  才要求已验证 embedding，Deep 在普通混合召回后使用 Graph 扩展。
+
+### 7.4 Embedding 原子迁移
+
+- 模型变化生成 candidate `vectorSpaceId/revision`。
+- 后台完整重建 dense/相关 projection，不覆盖 current active。
+- smoke evaluation 成功后 CAS 切换 active profile。
+- 失败保留旧 profile，并允许 retry/cancel。
+- 即使 route 字符串相同，也允许显式 bump revision 触发重建。
+
+### 7.5 验收
+
+- 不同 Space 可选择不同模型和不同维度。
+- ingestion/query 始终使用同一 active vector-space。
+- Reasoning、Rerank、Mode、Top K、Threshold 的空间级值均在运行时被消费。
+- Fast/Deep/Research 仍严格使用各自既定索引路径。
+
+## 8. 迭代 4：Source 控制面与 durable jobs
+
+### 8.1 Provider 与 Connection
+
+- `GET /source-providers` 返回 provider、capabilities、configuration schema 和连接状态。
+- `POST /knowledge-spaces/{id}/source-connections` 支持 API key/endpoint 类型。
+- OAuth：start、callback、PKCE/state、refresh、revoke。
+- Source 引用 `connectionId`，不直接保存凭据。
+
+### 8.2 Crawl Preview Job
+
+状态机：
+
+`queued -> crawling -> preview_ready -> importing -> syncing -> completed`
+
+异常状态：`zero_results | failed | canceled`。
+
+接口：
+
+- 创建 preview job。
+- 分页读取已发现页面，不返回无界完整 content。
+- SSE/轮询进度。
+- stop/cancel/retry。
+- 提交选中的 page IDs 后才 materialize。
+
+### 8.3 Sync Policy 与历史
+
+- first-class policy：`provider | manual | interval | custom`。
+- 支持 6h/12h/24h/3d/7d 与明确单位的 custom interval。
+- `source_sync_runs` 保存 run、进度、错误、cursor、retry 信息。
+- 提供单个和 bulk Sync/Disable/Remove，结果必须包含 eligible/skipped/failed。
+- Online Drive continuation token 贯穿 browse API。
+
+### 8.4 版本与远端删除
+
+- 用 `providerItemId + contentHash/etag` 识别逻辑对象。
+- 新 revision ready 后再下线旧 revision，防止重复检索。
+- 远端删除使用可配置 tombstone policy。
+
+## 9. 迭代 5：Document 产品模型
+
+### 9.1 Logical Document 与 Revision
+
+- `documents`：逻辑文档、activeRevisionId、source identity。
+- `document_revisions`：不可变 revision、contentHash、status、object keys、parser/model versions。
+- duplicate upload 根据规则创建 v2，而不是新的 version=1 asset。
+- candidate revision 成功后 CAS 切 active；支持查看历史和 rollback。
+
+### 9.2 逐文件上传
+
+- 每个文件独立 admission：accepted/excluded/reason。
+- 合法文件即使同批其他文件失败也能返回 202 并继续处理。
+- MIME、extension、size、count 在写 Object Storage 前验证。
+- 任务失败时清理 staging，不能留下会运行但 raw object 已删除的 job。
+
+Figma 契约确认项：
+
+- 统一 15 MB 与 50 MB 两套限制。
+- 统一每批 20 与当前 25 的差异。
+- 统一 DOCX、CSV、JSONL 的支持范围。
+
+### 9.3 Tasks、Chunks、Metadata
+
+- Tasks 支持按 space/document 分页、retry、cancel、SSE/轮询。
+- Document 聚合 status：upload/parse/chunk/embed/evaluate/publish。
+- Chunks API：分页、搜索、parent-child、token count、enable/disable。
+- Metadata 分成 `systemMetadata` 与 `userMetadata`；PATCH 使用 expected revision。
+- Document Settings 支持索引行为，但不得破坏 active revision 一致性。
+
+## 10. 迭代 6：Overview、Evidence 与 Quality
+
+实施状态：已完成。数据库迁移 `0023`/`0024`、repository、route、worker、权限/删除围栏和 PostgreSQL/TiDB SQL 回归均已落地；本迭代未增加任何前端代码。
+
+### 10.1 Overview
+
+- 建立 query/evidence/quality/source-sync/document-index 指标事件。
+- 支持 24h/7d/30d 聚合：query count、answer rate、knowledge count、linked apps、freshness。
+- Needs Attention 由可追踪规则生成，并提供对应 action。
+- Recent Activity 保存 actor、action、resource、timestamp 和结果。
+
+### 10.2 Evidence History
+
+- AnswerTrace repository 增加按 space 分页、搜索和时间筛选。
+- Evidence item 返回 passage/citation、source revision、offset/chunk/page、retrieval/rerank/final score。
+- 支持 missing evidence dismiss，并记录 actor/reason。
+- EvidenceBundle 统一为明确 repository 或明确只嵌入 Trace，移除当前双重架构漂移。
+
+### 10.3 Quality 与 Replay
+
+- first-class bad case：`open | replaying | fixed`。
+- replay job：`queued | running | passed | failed | canceled`。
+- 保存输入 profile revision、trace、diff、evidence 变化和运行历史。
+- 提供 outcome trend、top unanswered、triage 与 baseline comparison。
+
+### 10.4 端到端验收
+
+- Figma 中每个需要跨请求保存、影响权限或驱动任务的产品状态都有对应后端 API/状态机；纯视觉状态不进入本项目。
+- Viewer、API Access off、失败编译、删除中、crawl cancel、revision rollback 均有 E2E。
+- PostgreSQL/TiDB migration artifact 一致。
+- Swagger/API reference、operator manual 与部署环境变量同步更新。
+
+实施结果：
+
+- Overview stats/attention/activity/health 均提供 bounded tenant/space/grant scoped API；failed-query attention 额外绑定 exact requester。
+- Evidence history、missing-evidence CAS/audit、bad-case lifecycle/history 已落地。
+- Replay 使用 durable run/items/outbox、lease/checkpoint 与 frozen profile/publication/model/vector-space snapshot；Fast/Research/Deep 通过同一真实 retrieval-test executor 执行。
+- Quality/failed-query/attention 的外部 mutation 均由 handler 签发 fresh permission snapshot，在数据库事务内先锁定 active space/deletion admission，再重验 subject/channel/revision/member/policy/API Access/scopes 后写入。
+- legacy failed-query 无 provenance 行默认不可读；list、metrics、cluster、annotate、Overview 与 trends 均不会形成跨 subject、partial-grant 或 pagination/aggregation oracle。
+
+## 11. 迁移和发布策略
+
+每个含 Schema 的迭代采用以下发布顺序：
+
+1. 添加 nullable/default-compatible schema 与 repository dual-read。
+2. 部署新读路径，保持旧写路径可用。
+3. bounded backfill，记录 cursor 和失败项。
+4. 切换新写路径，并监控旧字段 fallback 命中率。
+5. fallback 归零后再收紧约束或删除旧字段。
+
+高风险功能使用 feature flag：
+
+- `SPACE_ACL_ENFORCEMENT`
+- `SOURCE_SECRET_STORE`
+- `CANDIDATE_INDEX_PUBLISH`
+- `RETRIEVAL_PROFILE_V2`
+- `SOURCE_DURABLE_JOBS`
+- `DOCUMENT_REVISIONS`
+
+feature flag 只用于渐进启用，不能长期绕过安全校验。
+
+## 12. 测试矩阵
+
+每个迭代至少覆盖：
+
+- Core schema：合法/非法输入、默认值和版本兼容。
+- Repository：tenant+space scope、CAS、cursor、事务失败。
+- Handler/route：401/403/404/409/422、脱敏和错误 DTO。
+- Worker：成功、失败、取消、重试、进程重启和幂等。
+- Retrieval：Fast/Deep/Research 路由、模型配置和 threshold。
+- Migration：PostgreSQL/TiDB artifact 与 backfill fixture。
+- Auth boundary：主体可信链、tenant+space role、API Access off 与 viewer read-only。
+- E2E：创建→接入 Source/上传→编译→检索→Evidence→删除。
+
+## 13. 当前执行批次
+
+以下批次按实际实施时间保留为历史轨迹；当前权威完成状态以 13.10 和可追踪矩阵为准。计划创建后首先执行迭代 0：
+
+1. Source API 响应脱敏。
+2. Research job 持久化并消费 `mode/topK`。
+3. 编译流程延迟 projection publish，失败不暴露候选索引。
+4. 合并后运行定向测试、API typecheck，并记录仍需在迭代 1/2 完成的架构性缺口。
+
+### 13.1 迭代 0 批次 1 执行记录（2026-07-13）
+
+已完成：
+
+- Source Create/List/Get/Update 公共响应统一递归移除敏感 metadata；repository 与 connector 内部保持兼容。
+- Research task 将规范化后的 `mode/topK` 写入 job 与 queue payload，resume 后继续透传；OpenAPI 字段保持可选以兼容旧任务。
+- Document compilation 在支持状态切换的 repository 上先创建 `building` candidate，multimodal 与 smoke evaluation 成功后发布；失败或部分发布时将本次 candidate 标记为 `failed`，不影响旧 ready revision。
+
+验证结果：
+
+- `@knowledge/api` 全量测试：173 个文件、1086 项测试通过（包含批次 2 回归用例）。
+- `@knowledge/api` TypeScript typecheck 通过。
+- 本批目标文件 Biome check 通过。
+
+留到后续迭代的架构项：
+
+- Source 明文凭据仍需在迭代 1 迁移到 `SecretStoreAdapter`；本批只保证不从公共 API 泄漏。
+- Projection publish 当前是按批状态更新，不是数据库级单事务 active pointer 切换；迭代 3 需要 candidate generation + CAS publication。
+- Smoke evaluation 尚需显式绑定 candidate publication/fingerprint，确保评估只读取本次候选的 FTS、dense 与其他 projection。
+
+批次 1 复审后新增的阻断项：
+
+- 通用 Source metadata PATCH 必须保留服务端现有敏感字段，避免客户端把 GET 的脱敏结果回写后误删凭据。
+- 同步 ingestion 也必须使用 staged projection publication，不能只修 durable worker。
+- Candidate 必须有独立 build/generation identity；同一 document revision 的重试或并发 worker 不能覆盖已 ready 的 projection。
+- Outline、KnowledgePath、Semantic Graph、multimodal manifest 需要和 dense/FTS 一样绑定 candidate generation，失败 candidate 对 Deep/Research 不可见。
+- Smoke evaluation 必须提供 candidate-only preview read，不能在 candidate 为 `building`、asset 为 `pending` 时退回评估旧 ready index。
+
+### 13.2 迭代 0 批次 2 执行记录（2026-07-13）
+
+已完成：
+
+- Source metadata PATCH 改为 fresh-read + CAS 安全合并。客户端把 GET 的脱敏 metadata 回写时，服务端现有凭据和嵌套 token 仍会保留；通用 PATCH 不能新增、覆盖或删除敏感值。
+- 同步 document compilation 与 durable worker 一样使用 staged projection publication。Manifest、Segments 或分批 publish 失败时，本批 `building/ready` projection 全部转为 `failed`。
+- 增加脱敏 round-trip 后 credential tester 仍可用、同步 pipeline 成功发布、segments 失败不发布、分批 publish 中途失败完整清理等回归测试。
+
+迭代 0 尚未完成的 P1：
+
+- 现有 staged publish 仍只隔离 dense/FTS projection；Outline、KnowledgePath、Graph、multimodal manifest 还没有 publication fingerprint。
+- Smoke evaluation 还不能读取且只能读取本次 candidate，当前可能实际评估旧 published index。
+- Candidate identity 尚未独立于 document revision；同 revision 并发或 retry 仍可能覆盖已发布行。
+- Publication 应延迟到外层 staged commit/status 完成，并通过单个数据库事务 CAS 切换 space publication head。
+
+### 13.3 迭代 0 批次 3A 执行记录（2026-07-13）
+
+已完成：
+
+- 新增持久化 `projection_set_publications` 历史账本与每空间唯一的
+  `projection_set_publication_heads`，提供单调 `head_revision`。
+- PostgreSQL/TiDB 0003 migration 与 schema catalog 同步；TiDB 外键和索引字段使用有界
+  `VARCHAR`，避免 `TEXT` 参与复合外键。
+- 数据库与内存 repository 使用严格 `expectedHeadRevision` CAS；首次发布竞争、普通发布、
+  rollback、delete 与 GC 均以 tenant+space 为作用域。
+- PostgreSQL 发布事务固定使用同一连接执行 `BEGIN/COMMIT/ROLLBACK`；状态切换与 head 更新在
+  同一事务内完成。无事务能力时 fail closed，不伪装成原子发布。
+- publish/delete 统一按 `head/current -> target` 加锁，避免删除当前 head 与发布新候选时形成
+  反向锁等待；失败事务保留旧 head 并回滚候选状态。
+- 创建 publication 前验证 Knowledge Space 的 tenant 归属；UUID、tenant 长度、INT 和时间字段
+  在 SQL 前按实际数据库边界校验并规范化。
+- API 数据库 repository bundle 已注入持久化 publication repository，供下一批编译流程接线。
+
+本批验证：
+
+- Publication 定向测试覆盖 PostgreSQL/TiDB SQL、CAS 冲突、并发首发、rollback、锁序、
+  tenant 归属、GC cursor 与输入边界。
+- Workspace typecheck：20/20 tasks 通过。
+- Workspace test：20/20 tasks 通过；其中 `@knowledge/api` 174 个文件、1099 项测试通过，
+  `@knowledge/api-app` 95 项、adapters 100 项（1 项环境集成测试跳过）、database 28 项、core
+  41 项通过。
+- PostgreSQL/TiDB migration drift、目标文件 Biome 与 `git diff --check` 通过。
+
+迭代 0 仍未完成的 P1：
+
+- 编译 orchestrator 尚未消费新的 publication head；必须先让 Outline、KnowledgePath、Graph、
+  multimodal manifest、dense/FTS 全部绑定同一 publication fingerprint。
+- Candidate build ID 仍需从 document revision 中拆分，保证同 revision retry/concurrency 不覆盖。
+- Smoke evaluation 必须只读 candidate publication；通过后才允许从 `validating` CAS 发布。完成前
+  新 repository 不暴露正式发布 API，直接从 `candidate` 发布的兼容路径将在批次 3C 收紧。
+- TiDB 当前仅有双方言 SQL与事务 fake 测试；生产 transaction runner 未提供，因此继续明确
+  fail closed。若启用 TiDB 生产部署，必须先补真实事务 adapter 与数据库集成测试。
+
+### 13.4 迭代 0 批次 3B1 执行记录（2026-07-13）
+
+本批采用“整空间 publication + 多 generation 成员快照”，而不是直接用 publication fingerprint
+过滤单文档派生表。原因是 fingerprint 表示整个 Knowledge Space 的发布快照，而编译是单文档增量；
+若把新 fingerprint 写到本次文档并作为所有表的等值过滤条件，未重编译文档会从新快照中消失。
+
+已完成：
+
+- IndexProjection、DocumentOutline、multimodal manifest、KnowledgePath、Graph Entity、Graph
+  Relation 六类派生数据支持可选、不可变 build generation；旧调用保持 `NULL` generation 兼容。
+- 新增 `projection_set_publication_members`，以 publication、component type、物理 component key、
+  generation 和可选 document asset 记录不可变快照成员；一个 publication 可继承多个历史 generation。
+- Member repository 支持从当前 published head 继承、按 component type 替换、按 document 原子替换和
+  fingerprint 读取；mutation 强制 tenant+space scope、candidate status 与 expected head revision CAS。
+- Publication head 变更与 member mutation 在读取 head 前统一锁定稳定的 Knowledge Space 行，首次发布时
+  即使 head 尚不存在也能串行化，避免“锁空行”导致 expected revision=0 被并发发布绕过。
+- PostgreSQL 的 head/candidate 锁定、成员删除和写入固定在同一连接事务；当前 TiDB transaction runner
+  不满足该原子性要求，因此 mutation 继续 fail closed。
+- PostgreSQL/TiDB `0004` expand migration 为六个派生表增加 nullable generation，并把逻辑唯一索引
+  改为 generation-aware；legacy `NULL` 统一映射 zero UUID，保留旧 writer 的幂等语义。
+- Outline 与 Graph Relation 的新唯一约束遇到 legacy duplicate 时让 migration fail closed，不任意删除
+  可能携带权限/evidence 的旧行；Outline 数据库写入从 delete+insert 改为原子 upsert，避免并发读到空洞。
+- 四类派生 repository 的 logical upsert 保留首次 physical ID；PostgreSQL `RETURNING` 和 TiDB 回读都返回
+  实际持久化 ID，且 upsert 不允许迁移 space、generation 或 logical identity。
+- Graph list/prune/traverse 与 projection publish/rollback/summarize/prune 全部 generation-scoped；未显式传
+  generation 时只作用 legacy `NULL`，指定时严格等值，Deep candidate 不会混入 legacy read 或被跨代裁剪。
+- 五个高频读取/遍历索引把 generation 放在 space scope 后的前导位置，避免保留历史 generation 后扫描放大。
+- API 数据库 repository bundle 已注入 member repository；本批没有引入固定 vector typmod，embedding
+  维度仍完全由 Knowledge Space 选择的 plugin-daemon 模型和持久化 vector-space 决定。
+
+本批验证：
+
+- Workspace typecheck：20/20 tasks 通过。
+- Workspace test：20/20 tasks 通过；其中 `@knowledge/api` 176 个文件、1131 项测试通过。
+- PostgreSQL/TiDB migration drift、目标文件 Biome 与 `git diff --check` 通过。
+
+批次 3B2–3C 的剩余发布闭环：
+
+- 编译 attempt 必须创建独立 generation，并把同一 generation 透传到六类 builder/writer；builder 的
+  deterministic physical ID 必须包含 generation，避免新 generation 撞到旧行全局主键。
+- 每个 attempt 独占 candidate，并持久化 attemptId、ownerDocumentAssetId、baseHeadRevision；head 变化后
+  废弃并 rebase 整个 attempt，禁止两个文档共享 candidate 后重复 inherit。
+- Candidate 先继承 published 成员，再按 document 替换本次 generation；Graph 必须生成完整一致的候选
+  子图，不能把 candidate observation 合并进 published canonical row。
+- 进入 validating 前校验六类 member 对应实体真实存在，且 space、generation、document owner 一致；成员
+  读取改为分页或 transaction-local chunking，不能受当前 100/1000 默认边界截断。
+- 为现有 published head 建立可审计的 legacy `NULL` membership bootstrap；切换正式 read 前验证成员数量，
+  禁止空 membership 让存量知识空间静默检索为空。
+- Fast、Deep、Research 三条正式查询必须从 published head 解析成员范围并 fail closed；兼容 fallback 只能
+  在显式迁移窗口启用，不能在 fingerprint/member 缺失时静默放宽到全表。
+- Smoke evaluation 改为 candidate-only preview；通过后才允许 `validating -> published` CAS，失败必须保留
+  旧 head 并把 candidate 标记为 failed。
+
+### 13.5 迭代 0 批次 3B2A 执行记录（2026-07-13）
+
+本批先建立 generation-safe 的编译与派生写入契约，不直接切换正式检索。原因是复审确认生产环境尚未
+持久化 document compilation attempt，现有 retry 还会把已重新排队的任务错误标成 terminal failed；若在
+这个状态下直接启用 generation writer，新派生行会与 legacy published read 脱节。
+
+已完成：
+
+- `DocumentCompilationJob`、queue payload 与 API response 增加可渐进启用的独立
+  `publicationGenerationId`。配置 generation 模式时在 enqueue 前生成一次；幂等 enqueue 返回旧 payload
+  时复用旧 generation，queue redelivery 不会临时换代；legacy job 默认仍不生成该字段。
+- Outline、multimodal manifest、KnowledgePath、FTS、dense、visual、Graph Entity 与 Graph Relation 的
+  builder/writer input 全部支持可选 generation，并由统一的 non-zero UUID schema 校验。generation UUID 在
+  进入 deterministic seed 前统一转成小写，大小写不同的同一 UUID 不会产生两组物理 ID。
+- generation 模式的默认 physical ID 由 generation 与逻辑 identity 确定：同一 generation 重试返回相同 ID，
+  不同 generation 不共用主键；未提供 generation 时保留原 legacy ID/seed 和写入行为。
+- 复审确认 `KnowledgeNode` 尚无 generation scope，直接把 candidate node 写入共享表会被 legacy
+  `listBySpace/listByArtifact` 立即读到。因此 Incremental reindexer、同步 compilation pipeline 和 durable
+  worker 在 publication-scoped node storage/read 接入前都对 generation 模式 fail closed；不能用“换 node ID
+  + metadata 标记”伪装隔离。三类 projection builder 的 generation 能力保留给 3B2C 的隔离节点编排。
+- Semantic postprocessor 返回实际持久化的 graph entity/relation IDs，供后续 publication member 登记；
+  Graph writer 的 generation 模式不写共享 `KnowledgeNode.metadata.graphEntityIds`，避免未发布 candidate
+  污染当前 Deep read。
+- 现有 entity/relation extraction 会覆写共享 KnowledgeNode metadata，因此 generation-scoped semantic
+  ingestion 在隔离 node metadata 前明确 fail closed，不能靠“写完再恢复”制造并发可见窗口；对应 Graph
+  writer 能力保留给 3B2C 的纯计算/隔离节点编排。
+- Semantic community 是跨文档派生物，不能冒充当前 document 的成员；留到全空间 candidate
+  graph/community 重建或 member-scoped traversal 批次处理。legacy 同步 ingestion 暂保留原兼容行为。
+- 同步 pipeline 先持久化并取得 canonical ParseArtifact，再让 outline、manifest、paths、reindex、semantic 和
+  segments 使用同一物理 artifact ID；数据库 upsert 回读缺行、重复或 logical key 不一致时 fail closed，不再
+  回退到调用方临时 ID。Durable worker 通过 reindexer 的 canonicalize 能力恢复
+  `parsed -> outline -> nodes/projection` 顺序，outline/manifest 失败不会因 canonical 回读而提前暴露 ready
+  projection。
+- TiDB Graph upsert 按 space + logical identity + generation 的 NULL-safe key 回读实际 entity/relation ID，关系
+  端点只使用 canonical entity ID。`0005` 同时在 PostgreSQL/TiDB 排除 zero sentinel；TiDB 额外校验完整 UUID
+  格式，migration runner 在应用或检测到该迁移后每次验证 TiDB >= 7.2 且
+  `tidb_enable_check_constraint=ON`，否则在 DDL 前失败。
+
+本批验证：
+
+- Workspace typecheck：20/20 tasks 通过。
+- Workspace test：20/20 tasks 通过；其中 `@knowledge/api` 177 个文件、1155 项测试通过，Core 46 项、
+  Database 31 项、Adapters 104 项通过（1 项环境集成测试跳过）。
+- PostgreSQL/TiDB migration drift、目标文件 Biome 与 `git diff --check` 通过。
+
+本批刻意未启用的路径：
+
+- Durable worker、同步 pipeline 和 reindexer 会识别 generation，但在 publication coordinator 与
+  publication-scoped KnowledgeNode 接入前明确 fail closed，不会静默丢弃 generation 后写入 legacy 行。
+  正式 writer 接线要等 3B2B 的持久化 attempt/production worker wiring 与 3B2C 的隔离编排完成，避免只有
+  内存 job 的“伪持久化”。
+- 正式 Fast/Research/Deep read 仍读取 legacy published 数据；在 3B3 完成 head/member read scope 与 legacy
+  membership bootstrap 前，不把新 generation writer 设为默认。
+
+复审后固定的后续子批次：
+
+1. **3B2B — durable attempt/outbox**：新增数据库 attempt 表，持久化 attemptId、generationId、owner、
+   candidate publication/fingerprint、base head revision、queue identity、retry/error/stage；DB 作为 source of
+   truth，outbox/dispatcher 消除 enqueue 与 repository create 的双写窗口。修正 retryAt 不得写 terminal、
+   redelivery 可从数据库恢复，并完成 PostgreSQL/TiDB repository 与生产 app worker wiring。
+2. **3B2C — candidate/member orchestrator**：在 document publish lease 内创建 candidate，继承当前 head 并
+   排除 owner document，一次性替换 owner 的完整组件集合；服务器端验证六类实体的 space/generation/owner、
+   projection 模型/维度和引用闭包。先为 KnowledgeNode 增加 generation scope 并让所有 node read 默认只读
+   published/legacy scope，随后才解除 reindexer 的 generation fail-closed。单文档超过 1000 members 时使用
+   staging replace/transaction-local chunking，不能多次调用 replace 覆盖前一批。
+3. **3B3 — published read cutover**：先为存量 head 建立可审计的 legacy membership，再让 Fast、Research、
+   Deep 从 published head 解析 member IDs。Graph 使用 member-ID scoped traversal 或全空间 candidate graph，
+   不能把多个 generation 当成单一 generation 等值查询。
+4. **3C — candidate evaluation/publish**：candidate-only smoke/evaluation 通过后才进入 publish CAS；head 冲突
+   废弃旧 candidate，并以新 base head 创建新 attempt/rebase。head 成功后才收尾 job/asset/staged commit；
+   publish 成功后的状态写失败交给 reconciliation，catch 不得回滚已发布 projection。
+
+### 13.6 迭代 0 批次 3B2B 执行记录（2026-07-13）
+
+本批把 document compilation 的控制面从内存 job 推进为数据库 source of truth，但继续保持正式
+generation writer 关闭。3B2C candidate/member coordinator 尚未完成前，生产入口对显式 runtime 开关
+fail closed，避免用一个注定失败的占位 processor 批量终止已创建 attempt。
+
+已完成：
+
+- 新增 `document_compilation_attempts` 与 transactional outbox。一次事务原子写入 attempt、独立 non-zero
+  generation、base head revision 和 `{attemptId}` outbox event；active scope/version 唯一键阻止同一文档版本
+  出现两个并行 attempt。
+- 内存与 PostgreSQL/TiDB repository 支持 start、claim、heartbeat、checkpoint CAS、retry、cancel、supersede、
+  terminal 收尾、manual retry 和过期历史清理。`rowVersion + leaseToken + queueJobId` 是执行 fence；外部 broker
+  ID 只作可选 shadow identity，不替代内部 delivery identity。
+- Candidate publication ID 与 fingerprint 首次绑定时验证 tenant、space、ID、fingerprint 和 candidate 状态；
+  绑定后不可变。数据库复合外键同时约束 Knowledge Space tenant、Document Asset version 和 candidate
+  fingerprint，不只依赖应用层检查。
+- Outbox dispatcher 只投递严格 `{attemptId}` payload，复用持久化 idempotency key；enqueue、mark、release 与
+  dead-letter 都有锁 token/CAS。`dispatched/leased` visibility 到期可恢复重投，进程在 enqueue 后、mark 前崩溃
+  不会永久丢任务。
+- Runtime 每次从数据库重新读取完整 attempt，typed dequeue 只租赁 `document.compile`；同批任务并发处理，
+  每个 execution 的 heartbeat 与 checkpoint mutation 串行。所有 complete/retry/fail 先提交数据库，再 ack
+  queue；未知异常默认不可重试，只有显式 retryable error 才进入有界指数退避。
+- Legacy worker 增加 caller-managed failure 模式；durable caller 处理 transient/terminal 状态，避免 retry 后又被
+  worker 写成 terminal failed。手动 retry 路由只对 durable state machine 开放，legacy 明确返回冲突。
+- Queue adapter 增加 job type filter，并在增加 delivery attempt 前过滤不匹配类型；inline、Cloudflare 与
+  pg-boss 适配器保持相同语义。
+- `0006` 为调度、lease recovery、tenant cleanup、document/candidate 外键检查分别建立前导索引；outbox 的
+  delivery due 与 dispatcher lock recovery 使用两个索引，不让 OR 分支共享一个低选择性复合索引。
+- Attempt CHECK 约束把 `retry_at` 与 `retry_wait` 绑定；其他 run state 必须为 NULL，数据库层拒绝“看似
+  terminal、实际仍有重试时间”的矛盾行。
+- `tenant_id` 统一限制为 255 字符。迁移 runner 在类型收窄前检查历史数据，DDL 再增加长度 CHECK，禁止
+  PostgreSQL/TiDB 静默截断；TiDB 同时要求 8.5+、CHECK、全局 foreign-key feature 和 session foreign-key
+  checks 开启，并在迁移后通过 `SHOW CREATE TABLE` 拒绝 invalid/missing foreign key。
+- API app 数据库 bundle 暴露 durable attempt repository，但不把未消费的 raw repository 塞进 gateway
+  options。`KNOWLEDGE_DOCUMENT_COMPILATION_RUNTIME` 默认关闭；当前版本若显式开启，会在创建 adapter 前
+  明确报告缺少 3B2C coordinator，不再静默忽略配置。
+
+本批验证：
+
+- Repository、dispatcher、runtime 与 durable job 控制面 32 项聚焦测试通过。
+- Core tenant boundary、Database schema/migration、Adapters queue/migration、API app wiring 的聚焦测试与
+  package typecheck 通过。
+- Workspace typecheck：20/20 tasks 通过。
+- Workspace test：20/20 tasks 通过；其中 `@knowledge/api` 181 个文件、1191 项测试通过，
+  `@knowledge/api-app` 24 个文件、100 项测试通过。
+- PostgreSQL/TiDB migration registry drift、38 个本批目标文件的 Biome 与 `git diff --check` 通过。
+
+进入 3B2C 前仍保持的边界：
+
+- Runtime processor 必须协作响应 `AbortSignal`；当前 JavaScript runtime 无法强杀忽略 signal 后继续产生的
+  外部副作用。3B2C 的 provider/builder wrapper 必须在每个持久化边界再次检查 fence。
+- 当前 pg-boss adapter 仍以内存 lease/status map 为执行权威，只把 send 镜像到 broker；因此本批只支持
+  API 与 compilation runtime 同进程部署，不能宣称已支持独立 worker 崩溃恢复。
+- Dispatcher/runtime 现有 `stop()` 只停止新 tick。3B2C 正式启用时要增加 async drain，并把 server shutdown
+  顺序固定为停止接流量、停止 dispatcher、等待 runtime execution、关闭 platform adapter。
+- 正式 generation writer、candidate member replace、candidate-only smoke evaluation 与 published read cutover
+  仍分别属于 3B2C、3C 和 3B3；本批没有提前解除既有 fail-closed。
+
+### 13.7 迭代 0 批次 3B2C 执行记录（2026-07-13）
+
+本批完成的是 **generation-scoped document candidate 的 shadow 构造闭环**，不是正式 publication
+闭环。它让一次 durable attempt 可以隔离地产生派生数据、校验本次 document replacement 并构造候选成员
+快照；生产 runtime、正式查询和 head publish 继续关闭，避免把“candidate 已组成”误当成“可以被检索”。
+
+已完成：
+
+- `KnowledgeNode` 增加 nullable、non-zero `publicationGenerationId`，schema、内存/数据库 repository 与
+  PostgreSQL/TiDB `0007` migration 保持一致。未显式传 generation 的 read/update 只作用 legacy `NULL`；
+  generation read/write 严格等值并要求 Knowledge Space 以及对应 document/artifact scope；tenant ownership
+  由 candidate validator 通过 Space 与 Document Asset 复核，不会让 candidate node 落入旧 Fast/Deep 读取集合。
+  物理 node ID 把 generation 纳入 deterministic seed，同一 generation retry 幂等、不同 generation 不碰撞；
+  物理删除仍可清理同一 artifact 的全部 generation。
+- Incremental reindexer、entity/relation extraction、quality control、graph writer 与 semantic postprocessor 已透传
+  同一 generation。candidate 节点 metadata、projection 与 graph 写入只引用本代 node；generation 模式跳过
+  跨文档 semantic community，不能把不完整的单文档 community 登记成可发布结果。
+- 定义 `schemaVersion: 1` 的固定六类 component receipt：IndexProjection、DocumentOutline、multimodal
+  manifest、KnowledgePath、Graph Entity、Graph Relation。六个数组字段全部必填，即使某类合法为空也必须
+  显式返回空数组，防止 builder 漏报被解释为“本类没有结果”；同时要求恰好一个 outline、恰好一个 manifest、
+  至少一个 knowledge path，并限制总 component 数量。
+- Candidate coordinator 校验 attempt execution fence、generation、owner document/version、base head revision、
+  fingerprint material 和 attempt 独占 candidate identity；在 candidate 建立后先把 candidate ID/fingerprint
+  持久绑定到同一 attempt，再进行 member compose。retry 只能复用完全相同的 candidate，head 已变化或
+  candidate 被另一 attempt 占用时 fail closed。
+- Member repository 增加单事务 `composeDocumentCandidate`：锁定稳定 space/head/candidate，清空 candidate
+  的旧成员，从当前 published head 继承除 owner document 外的成员，再写入本次 owner 的完整六类
+  replacement。大集合使用 transaction-local chunking，不通过多次 replace 截断或覆盖前一批；返回的
+  replacement 数必须与 receipt 精确一致。事务使用与 attempt start/publish 一致的
+  space→attempt→head→candidate 锁顺序；成员变更前后都校验 attempt scope、candidate binding、exact row
+  version、running/active lease token 与数据库实时时钟下的 expiry，旧 worker 或处理中途失租会回滚整个
+  snapshot，不会晚到覆盖新 worker。compose 通过 runtime 的 lease-snapshot 串行通道执行，自动 heartbeat
+  无法在捕获 row version 与事务取锁之间插队造成误判。
+- 新增数据库 preflight validator，在 compose 前重新读取 attempt、space、document asset、六类 component 与
+  引用到的 KnowledgeNode，验证 tenant/space、generation、document owner/version、projection `building`
+  状态、projection→node、graph relation→entity、graph→source-node、outline/manifest path 的本次 replacement
+  闭包；同时验证唯一 ParseArtifact、source snapshot/artifact hash、Asset→Node→Graph 权限并集。embedding
+  会读取数据库中实际 `dense_vector`/`visual_vector` 维度，并与知识空间持久化的 plugin/model/vector-space、
+  profile revision 和 dimension 一致性校验；不信任 projection 自报维度，也不假定固定 1536。
+- Durable attempt 在 `projection_built` 及之后 checkpoint 强制要求 candidate ID/fingerprint 已绑定；数据库
+  `CHECK` 与内存/数据库 repository 同步 fail closed，避免“已构造投影但没有可追溯候选”的非法恢复状态。
+- Durable worker 的 generation shadow 路径将同一 generation 传给 outline、manifest、knowledge path、
+  reindex/projection 和 semantic graph，收集六类持久化 canonical ID 后提交完整 receipt。candidate 组成成功后
+  只推进到 `projection_built` 并返回；不会执行 legacy smoke、projection publish、asset ready/published 或
+  staged publication 收尾。未配置 coordinator 时 generation 路径继续 fail closed，legacy 编译路径保持兼容。
+
+验证：workspace typecheck 20/20、workspace test 20/20 通过（1,735 passed、1 skipped，其中 API
+1,222/1,222）；本批 40 个 TypeScript 文件 Biome、`git diff --check` 与 PostgreSQL/TiDB migration registry
+drift 校验通过。
+
+本批明确保留的 shadow / fail-closed 边界：
+
+- `KNOWLEDGE_DOCUMENT_COMPILATION_RUNTIME` 仍默认关闭，API app 还没有把 3B2C coordinator/validator 接入
+  production processor。`outbox dispatch -> runtime claim -> worker -> advance/complete` 的生产闭环尚未接通；
+  显式开启不能退回 legacy writer，也不能把 shadow candidate 自动发布。同步 compilation pipeline 的
+  generation 模式同样继续 fail closed。
+- `projection_built` 只表示本次 replacement 已写入 candidate member snapshot，不表示 candidate 通过评估，
+  更不表示 publication head、document asset 或 parser status 已提交。当前代码没有从该 checkpoint 自动进入
+  `smoke_eval_passed`/`published`。
+- Fast、Research、Deep 尚未从 publication head/member 解析正式读取范围，仍只读 legacy published 数据。
+  新 generation 即使成功构造 candidate，也不会被三条线上检索路径命中；member 缺失时禁止临时回退全表。
+- Preflight validator 与 member compose 是两个事务。当前校验只证明 compose 前的本 document replacement，
+  不能关闭两事务之间的 TOCTOU 窗口，也没有验证继承自当前 head 的完整 candidate snapshot。因此该 validator
+  是提前失败与诊断门禁，不是最终 publication 安全边界。
+- Graph 是跨文档聚合索引。单文档 replacement 只能证明 owner 子图内部引用闭合；从历史 head 继承的其他
+  文档 graph 可能跨多个 generation，不能用一个 generation 等值条件把它们解释成完整 Deep 图。完成
+  member-ID scoped traversal 或全空间 candidate graph/community 重建前，Deep publication 必须保持阻断。
+
+进入 3B3 的阻断与完成条件：
+
+- 对每个存量 published head 建立可审计的 legacy `NULL` membership bootstrap，核对六类实体数量、owner 与
+  orphan，禁止空/部分 membership 静默切换后让知识空间检索为空。
+- Fast 必须按 published head 的 IndexProjection member IDs 查询；Research 必须按 DocumentOutline 与
+  KnowledgePath member IDs 查询；Deep 必须按 Graph Entity/Relation member IDs 遍历，或改为全空间 candidate
+  graph。三条路径都要分页/分批处理成员，不能受默认 100/1000 上限截断。
+- 正式 read cutover 必须以 head fingerprint 为唯一入口。head、fingerprint、member 或目标实体不一致时
+  fail closed 并产生可观测错误；迁移 fallback 只能由显式、可移除的窗口控制，不能永久放宽至全表扫描。
+- 跨 generation graph、semantic community 与 graph relation 跨文档端点的读取语义确定并验证前，3B3 只能
+  先切 Fast/Research，不能宣称 Deep 已完成 published read cutover。
+
+进入 3C 的阻断与完成条件：
+
+- 在 publication head CAS 的同一个锁定事务内，重新读取并验证 **继承成员 + 本次 replacement 的完整候选
+  快照**，关闭 validator/compose 的事务 gap；任何 member 缺失、owner 漂移、generation 不一致或 head revision
+  改变都必须废弃 candidate，并以新 base head rebase，不能在旧 candidate 上补丁式续跑。
+- 当前 preflight 已验证 observed-time 的 Asset→Node→Graph 权限、唯一 ParseArtifact、source/artifact hash、
+  projection lineage，以及数据库实际 vector dimension 与空间当前持久化 embedding profile。3C 仍必须在
+  attempt 创建时冻结 parser/profile revision 与 visibility/config snapshot，并在发布锁内重验，防止处理中途
+  配置切换造成 TOCTOU；当前六类 receipt 未包含 segments，还需把 segment closure 纳入 publication member，
+  或以同事务、版本锁定的 artifact closure 证明其 completeness、enable 与 permission 状态。
+- 最终锁内校验必须按 receipt/member 的精确集合验证数量与实体，不能只证明“receipt 中列出的 ID 都存在”；
+  embedding route 必须继续以用户在该知识空间选择的 plugin-daemon 模型/vector-space 为准，禁止引入固定 1536。
+- Candidate-only Fast/Research/Deep preview 与 smoke/evaluation 必须只读取候选 member snapshot；通过后执行
+  `candidate -> validating -> published` 的 head CAS，失败保持旧 head 可查并标记 candidate failed。
+- 只有 head CAS 成功后才能提交 staged projection、document asset/parser 状态并把 attempt `complete`；CAS 后
+  状态写失败由 reconciliation 收敛，catch 路径不得把已发布 head 回滚成旧 generation。随后才能接通
+  outbox/runtime 的 `advance/complete/ack`、async drain 与 production feature flag。
+
+### 13.8 R1、3B3/3C 发布读取切换执行记录（2026-07-14）
+
+本批关闭了 13.7 中关于 publication read、独立 PageIndex、Graph member scope 和正式 head CAS 的
+shadow/fail-closed 边界；历史记录保留用于说明迁移过程，当前权威状态以本节和可追踪矩阵为准。
+
+已完成：
+
+- Production query 在入口只解析一次 immutable publication snapshot；Fast、Research、Deep 全链共享同一
+  publication id/fingerprint/head revision。缺 snapshot、tenant、权限范围、member 或实体闭包均 fail closed，
+  不会回退 legacy 全表读取。
+- Fast 从 exact ready IndexProjection member 执行 dense + FTS，RRF 合并后只 rerank 一次。TiDB 使用
+  `index_projection_fts_postings` 的 term-hash lookup index；PostgreSQL 保留 GIN `tsvector`。两种 dialect
+  均在 publication/member/generation/document/ACL 条件内召回。
+- Research 直接查询 flattened published PageIndex，不再先运行 dense/FTS hybrid。exact term posting 在 SQL
+  内按 outline node 聚合 normalized `[0,1]` score，完整 closure 与 ACL 在 relevance ordering/final LIMIT
+  之前验证；threshold、Top K 后 bounded 打开 leaf evidence。Graph 与普通 reranker调用数为 0。
+- Deep 先运行 published dense+FTS/RRF，再从同一 publication 的 Graph entity/relation/source-node closure
+  扩展和二次召回，合并后统一 rerank 一次。Graph capability 缺失只阻断 Deep，Fast/Research 不受影响。
+- Candidate runtime、candidate-only evaluation、publication processor 与 coordinator 已接入 durable
+  compilation runtime。锁内重新验证完整 candidate/member snapshot、lease token、attempt row version 和 base
+  head revision后再 CAS；partial receipt、evaluation failure、lease loss 或 head drift 均保留旧 head。
+- Legacy space bootstrap 与 PageIndex upgrade backfill 使用 durable ledger、lease/fence、retry/supersede；
+  completion 会在同一锁内反向验证整个 legacy corpus，且 lease 过期后任何 complete/fail/release 都不能越过 fence。
+  readiness 只有在 frozen corpus/ready PageIndex 完整验证后开放，Research-specific readiness 不阻断 Fast。
+- Publication CAS 前除 receipt 正向校验外，还会反向锁定并验证每个 member generation 的 node 所需 FTS、
+  active vector-space dense projection 与（TiDB）term posting；孤儿 node、缺 leg 或错误 vector-space 都不能发布。
+- TiDB 的 legacy lexical 数据不再在 migration 内全库递归回填：`0011` 只扩表，durable worker 按空间、projection
+  cursor、lease token 与 row version 原子修复；Fast/Deep 在 HTTP/SSE 前以稳定 503 fail closed，Research 绕过。
+  `0012` 前向修复已记录历史 TiDB schema 的 TEXT key、generated column、匿名旧唯一索引和 CHECK/FK 漂移，
+  对冲突/孤儿/过长数据拒绝迁移，不删除或静默合并现有数据。
+- 所有 generation-scoped component writer 采用 immutable replay 语义；已发布 generation 不允许被 retry
+  overwrite/delete。为保持已发布 migration 历史不可变，PostgreSQL `0001` 仍保留历史 `vector(1536)`；紧随其后的
+  `0002` 会在任何正式读写前删除旧 HNSW 并转换为 typmod-free `vector`。最终 PostgreSQL/TiDB schema 的维度均
+  来自空间所选 plugin-daemon 模型实际响应，不存在固定 1536 运行时约束。
+
+验证：API 1414、API app 129、Database 35、Adapters 112、Core 49、Embeddings 26 项测试通过；PostgreSQL 16 +
+pgvector 与 TiDB 8.5 空库 `0001 → 0012` 均成功（TiDB 38 张表），migration replay 通过。真实 SQL 探针覆盖
+candidate/building/stale/cross-publication/ACL 负向、PageIndex/Graph closure、TiDB old-TEXT→0011→0012、
+durable FTS cursor/closure、publication member rollback/replay、lookup index、CHECK 与跨空间 FK。
+
+转入后续迭代、不得误报为本批完成：
+
+- 迭代 1：Space ACL/member/API Access、服务端权限快照、异步 Research consumer、SecretStore。
+- 迭代 2：durable deletion、generation tombstone、对象/cache/trace/evidence 清理。
+- 迭代 3：profile backfill/catalog/preflight、publication 与 embedding profile 联合快照、动态维度 ANN、
+  embedding candidate rebuild/evaluation/原子迁移与回滚。
+
+### 13.9 I1/I2 权限与安全删除执行记录（2026-07-14）
+
+I1 与 I2 已完成，历史章节中“待开始/转入后续”的文字仅保留实施轨迹；当前权威状态以本节和可追踪矩阵为准。
+
+I2 已完成：
+
+- `0017_durable_deletion` 为 Space、Source、Document 增加 lifecycle state、永久 tombstone、durable
+  job/item/outbox/retry-audit、retrieval execution lease 与 mutation lease fence。请求使用权限快照、expected
+  revision、idempotency fingerprint；Space 额外要求 interactive owner 与完整名称 challenge。
+- Worker 按 `requested → quiescing → deleting_objects → deleting_derived_data → deleting_primary_data → completed`
+  推进，每一步都有 row-version、lease-token、数据库时钟与 checkpoint fence。外部对象/Secret/cache item 独立
+  retry/dead-letter；primary residue dirty 会退回可重试阶段，不会把未清干净的资源标记 completed。
+- Quiescing 会取消或排空 retrieval、Research、compilation、sync/backfill、KnowledgeFS session/lease 和 staged
+  commit；publication exclusion 使用 immutable successor + head CAS，旧 worker 在 tombstone 后不能重发 member、
+  Graph、PageIndex 或 projection。
+- Space 删除分页枚举整个空间对象前缀；Document 删除枚举 raw、multimodal 与 generation 对象；Source
+  `cascade` 枚举全部 owned documents，`keep` 则清除 retained document/asset/source metadata，并发布不含 Source
+  identity 的 successor head。trace、evidence、failed query、research partial、cache、path、Graph、Outline、FTS、
+  artifact、manifest、ACL 与 primary child rows 均按 FK-on/FK-off 次序显式清理。
+- 所有普通对象写入在完整 `putObject` 期间与 deletion request 串行：PostgreSQL 先按 space identity 取得
+  `FOR SHARE`，TiDB 8.5 因 shared-lock 语法只是 noop 而使用真实 `FOR UPDATE`。两种 dialect 都在拿到当前行锁后
+  才检查 lifecycle 与 active deletion；禁止把 predicate 放进 TiDB locking read 让旧 snapshot 绕过等待。
+  Source SecretStore 保留既有 lifecycle `FOR UPDATE` admission，避免嵌套锁自锁。
+- 网关只要配置 durable deletion service/repository，就强制要求 lifecycle fence 与 object-write admission；缺一项
+  启动即失败。Document single/bulk、Source materializer、同步/异步 PDF/多模态和 KnowledgeFS write/append
+  均已接入；竞态拒绝返回稳定 409，并执行 late-write compensation/stale-write scrub。
+- Migration 将 `knowledge_space_manifests` 的旧单列 FK 收紧为 tenant + space 复合 FK；发现历史跨租户错配会
+  fail closed，不做猜测修复。EvidenceBundle 只回填可唯一证明的 tenant/space，歧义行保持隔离并阻止开放删除。
+
+真实数据库验收：
+
+- PostgreSQL 16 + pgvector 与 TiDB 8.5 均从空库顺序执行 `0001 → 0017`，整份 `0017` 原样 replay 成功；
+  manifest 最终只保留复合 FK。人为构造跨租户 manifest 时两种数据库都按预期阻断迁移。
+- PostgreSQL 锁序覆盖 writer 先、delete commit 先、delete rollback 先；TiDB pessimistic transaction 覆盖同三种
+  顺序，并额外验证 Source/Document 删除只存在 active job、space row 仍 active 时写入仍等待后拒绝。callback 在
+  删除胜出时调用数为零。
+
+代码验证：API `1892 passed / 3 skipped`，API app `153 passed`；Database `43 passed`，Adapters
+`116 passed / 1 skipped`，Core `49 passed`；migration artifact、Biome、typecheck 与 `git diff --check` 通过。
+
+当时转入 I3 的项目为：模型 catalog/preflight、profile backfill/history、profile/publication 联合快照、embedding 与
+reasoning candidate rebuild、动态 ANN capability 和 Retrieval Test/provenance API；这些项目现已在 13.10 闭环。
+
+### 13.10 I3～I6 后端产品能力闭环执行记录（2026-07-14）
+
+本批完成 Figma 产品功能到后端契约的最终对齐。实现范围仍是纯后端；没有新增页面、组件、样式、前端 client 或
+BFF。可追踪矩阵中的稳定 ID 是逐项验收入口。
+
+I3 已完成：
+
+- Knowledge Space 创建支持后端生成 tenant-scoped slug；名称、描述与 icon 更新使用 expected revision、active
+  deletion lock、fresh durable admin permission 和数据库 CAS。
+- 生产创建不调用或等待 plugin-daemon；单个数据库事务写 Space、Manifest/带 digest 与 revision 的 pending model
+  configuration、Owner、`only_me` policy、API Access off 与 activity，初始不创建 profile/head。idempotency key 派生
+  确定性 ID；v3 lost-ACK replay 精确重验 pending selection/digest/revision 和权限语义，并保留对 legacy v2 完整
+  aggregate 的严格重放兼容。
+- 每个 Space 在创建/未激活设置阶段独立保存 plugin/provider/model selections，不伪造 dimension 或 vectorSpaceId。
+  首个文档的 leased durable compilation attempt 才通过 plugin-daemon catalog、credential validation 和真实 invocation
+  preflight，再持久化 immutable embedding/retrieval profile、能力快照、实际 dimension/metric、vectorSpaceId 与 revision；
+  任何 embedding dimension 都来自模型响应，运行时不写死 1536。
+- 生产装配不再提供 deployment embedding/reasoning/rerank fallback；三类 per-space provider factory 都不携带
+  deployment model credential，而由 plugin-daemon 按请求 tenant 解析。static embedding/rerank 仅可用于非生产测试。
+- `resolveVectorIndexCapability` 仅在 dimension 超出数据库存储能力时拒绝；只是不满足 ANN 索引限制时使用有界
+  exact-search fallback，不篡改向量或 profile dimension。
+- 尚无 active profile/head 的未发布空空间在设置修改时，以 space/deletion lock、fresh permission 与 manifest CAS 更新
+  pending config 并返回 202，不调 daemon。首文档 activation 使用 pending digest/revision 及 profile-head CAS 防止过时
+  preflight 结果，最终用 fenced `bindInitialProfiles` 冻结 exact tuple 后才继续 parser/index。已有 published head 的 Space
+  仍使用 durable migration run/outbox/lease：embedding 变化执行 full-vector-space rebuild，reasoning 变化执行 full PageIndex
+  Summary/Outline rebuild，其余 retrieval setting 可 clone successor publication；evaluation 通过后联合 CAS profile binding 与
+  publication head，失败保留旧 tuple。
+- Legacy 只迁移 manifest 中可证明的历史 model/profile selection；profile-less 旧 Space 记录审计并 fail closed，
+  要求用户显式选择，不猜测部署默认模型。
+- Dedicated Retrieval Test 返回实际 published head/profile、plan、stage/metrics、evidence 与安全 capability 状态；
+  不生成答案，不返回 secret、完整 member inventory、不可见 corpus 总量或 SQL 隐藏 ACL 候选计数。
+
+I4 已完成：
+
+- `0021_source_product_workflows` 落地 provider catalog、Source Connection、OAuth PKCE/state、SecretStore ref、refresh/
+  revoke/cleanup lifecycle、crawl preview pages、online document/drive imports、sync policy、workflow run/outbox/lease、
+  history/cancel/retry 和 bounded bulk sync/disable/remove。
+- Provider availability 是部署静态 registry 声明，不冒充实时 plugin health；crawl preview 通过 polling API 返回进度，
+  pages 列表不回传完整正文；Online docs cursor 与 Drive continuation token 都作为 opaque value 原样透传。
+- Source remote item 通过 sourceId + providerItemId + contentHash/etag 进入 Logical Document revision；unchanged 不重复
+  发布，更新 candidate 只有在 compilation publication 成功后联合激活，失败保留旧 active；远端缺失支持 retain 或
+  durable tombstone policy。
+- 已绑定 compilation attempt 的 Source candidate 失败后，以 durable deletion tombstone/outbox 清理 run-owned residue；
+  只有 `failed + never-active + exact run/item/hash ownership + 唯一 asset 引用` 才允许进入清理。active、superseded、
+  activated、回滚/其他版本引用全部保留，并覆盖重启、幂等、lost-ACK 与并发 activation。
+
+I5 已完成：
+
+- `0022_logical_document_revisions` 落地 Logical Document、immutable revisions、activeRevision CAS、history/rollback、
+  versioned settings/reindex、revision chunks、chunk candidate state、processing task list/get/SSE/cancel/retry 与
+  user/system metadata 隔离。
+- 单文件默认 15 MB；bulk 默认 50 MB/20 文件，hard ceiling 50 MB/文件与 25 文件；extension/MIME/quota 在对象写前
+  校验。批量响应逐文件给出 accepted/excluded/reason，某个文件失败不回滚同批合法文件。
+- Rollback、Settings、Chunk、新 Document 与 Source revision 的 candidate admission 都绑定 exact compilation attempt、
+  active space/deletion state、asset/source/logical revision、fresh durable permission 与 current candidate scope；撤权、
+  partial-member 移除、API key 失效或删除竞态不会留下 candidate residue。
+- 最终 publication 事务固定 `space → attempt → permission snapshot/member/policy/API Access/API key → head/candidate/profile`
+  锁序，严格解析 attempt provenance；missing/partial provenance fail closed。该 fence 位于 publication/profile/logical
+  revision/settings/chunk 的任何副作用之前，并在同一事务联合切换 publication head、profile binding 与产品 candidate。
+
+I6 已完成：
+
+- `0023_knowledge_space_overview` 提供 icon、stats、attention、activity 与 health；`0024_quality_control` 提供 Evidence
+  history、missing-evidence state、Golden、bad cases、failed-query triage/clusters、durable replay 和 trends/baseline。
+- Query 使用服务端 UUID queryRunId 作为 AnswerTrace/lease/session/activity identity，与客户端 `x-trace-id` correlation
+  分离；生成器必须 exactly-one `done`。最终 `query.generate` summary 决定 durable 成败，中间可恢复 stage error 不会
+  把 fallback 成功误记为失败；AnswerTrace read model 可在 terminal activity 投影失败后恢复 completed/failed。
+- Quality/Overview 的列表与聚合在 SQL LIMIT/GROUP BY 前绑定 tenant、space、exact requester 与 candidate grants；
+  mutation/replay 在事务内重验 active deletion 与 fresh durable permission。Replay 冻结 exact published profile/model/
+  vector-space tuple，按 Fast、Research、Deep 真正执行并保存 evidence diff 与 metrics。
+
+检索模式最终不变量：
+
+1. Fast：published dense + indexed FTS → node 去重/RRF → 一次最终 rerank → threshold → Top K。
+2. Research：published Summary/Outline/PageIndex exact-term + tree navigation → threshold → Top K；普通 hybrid、Graph 和
+   普通 reranker 调用均为 0。Reasoning model 用于最终回答和 ingestion-time Summary/Outline enhancer，不是 query-time
+   PageIndex planner。
+3. Deep：published dense + indexed FTS/RRF → published Graph expansion + second recall → 全部候选合并 → 一次统一
+   rerank → threshold → Top K；不是只查 Graph。
+4. 三种模式都从同一个 frozen published content/profile tuple 读取，并在入口校验 membership/API Access、在候选层
+   使用服务端 grants；Top K、Score Threshold 与模型配置分别在上述正确阶段应用。Async Research 在入队前按
+   “显式请求 > 空间 default”冻结 concrete mode/Top K，production worker 不允许 legacy profile fallback。
+
+迁移与验证基线：
+
+- Migration registry/artifact 已扩展到 `0024`。PostgreSQL 16 + pgvector 与 TiDB 8.5 均从空库执行 `0001 → 0024`，
+  `0018 → 0024` 全段 replay、`0024` 双 replay、动态 dimension 7/4096、长 Unicode provider/idempotency、tuple/
+  cross-space/outbox negative probe 均通过。
+- 最终代码验证全部通过：API 为 302 个通过、1 个跳过的测试文件（2513 个通过、3 个跳过的测试）；API app
+  为 35 个测试文件、173 个测试；Database 为 9 个测试文件、80 个测试；Core 为 4 个测试文件、49 个测试；
+  plugin-daemon-client 为 2 个测试文件、48 个测试；Adapters 为 6 个通过、1 个跳过的测试文件（116 个通过、
+  1 个跳过的测试）。Workspace `test` 为 20/20 个 Turbo 任务成功，workspace `typecheck` 为 20/20 个任务成功。
+- Migration artifact check、Swagger 5/5、全部本批 TypeScript/JSON 的 Biome 检查与 `git diff --check` 均通过；范围
+  审计确认本批只有后端、迁移和文档变更，没有前端实现，敏感信息审计没有发现生产凭据。用户本地
+  `.claude/settings.local.json` 与 coverage 产物不纳入提交。
+
+### 13.11 I7 空空间惰性模型验证执行记录（2026-07-15）
+
+本批调整的是模型校验时机，不改变发布后 immutable profile/publication 与三种检索模式的运行时契约。
+本节将 13.10 的模型能力闭环进一步细化为“先持久化 pending selection，再由首文档 durable compilation 验证并激活”。
+
+已完成：
+
+- Knowledge Space create 将 embedding selection 与 retrieval input 保存为带 digest/revision/state 的
+  `pendingModelConfiguration`；Provisioning 在一个事务中写入 Space/Manifest/Owner/policy/API Access/activity，
+  初始 profile heads 为空，全路径 plugin-daemon 调用为 0。v3 idempotency marker 严格重放 pending aggregate，旧 v2
+  marker 仍可按原完整 profile aggregate 严格重放。
+- 尚无 active profile/head 的未发布空间，Embedding/Retrieval settings PUT 仅做 fresh admin permission + manifest
+  revision CAS，更新 pending digest/revision 并返回 202；修改 `validation-failed` 候选会生成新 pending revision，不在
+  HTTP 请求内调用 plugin-daemon。
+- 首个文档仍通过 durable compilation attempt/outbox/lease 入队与执行。attempt 可在 profile 尚未激活时先持久化；
+  candidate runtime 在 parser/index worker 之前执行 initial-profile coordinator，用 tenant-scoped plugin-daemon 并行验证所选
+  embedding/reasoning/已启用 rerank 能力。embedding dimension/metric 只从实际 capability response 取值，然后
+  派生 immutable embedding profile 与 vectorSpaceId；不存在 1536 默认值。
+- 激活路径在数据库锁内重验 pending digest/revision/selection 和 profile head revision。embedding 只允许对应 pending
+  config 的首个 revision 穿过初始 freeze；embedding/retrieval immutable revisions、两个 heads、manifest profile tuple 与
+  pending clear 在同一事务完成。进程内同一
+  digest 使用 single-flight；跨进程即使发生重复 daemon probe，也只能通过 manifest/profile CAS 收敛到同一
+  immutable snapshot，过时结果不能激活。
+- 激活成功后，fenced `bindInitialProfiles` 在处理开始前将 exact embedding/retrieval id、revision 与 snapshot digest 恰好
+  一次绑定到 leased attempt；故障注入验证 profile tuple 只能整体提交或整体回滚，历史版本遗留的 partial head 也只会
+  被原子补齐，不会被 query/compilation 当成可用 tuple。
+- 非可重试 preflight 失败只将 allow-listed code/failedAt/retryable 写回 pending config；`GET /knowledge-spaces/{id}/status`
+  稳定返回 `setup-required | pending-validation | validation-failed | ready`，不回显候选 model identity、provider 原始异常或
+  凭据。active profile 总是优先于失败候选，因此发布后更新失败时旧 tuple 仍可用。
+- 已发布 Space 不走首文档快速激活；Embedding 变更仍执行 full-vector-space rebuild/evaluation，Reasoning 变更仍
+  重建 PageIndex Summary/Outline，其余 retrieval settings 通过 successor publication/migration 联合切换，失败保留旧
+  profile/publication tuple。
+- 模式边界保持不变：Fast = dense + indexed FTS 混合召回→合并→一次 rerank；Research = Summary/Outline/PageIndex，
+  不依赖 Graph 且不调用普通 reranker；Deep = 普通混合召回 + Graph 扩展→合并→一次统一 rerank。
+
+定向验收以 `knowledge-space-provisioning-repository.test.ts`、`gateway-knowledge-space.test.ts`、
+`document-compilation-initial-profile-coordinator.test.ts`、`document-compilation-attempt-repository.test.ts`、
+`knowledge-space-unpublished-profile-activation-repository.test.ts` 与 `knowledge-space-control-plane-diagnostics.test.ts` 为主；最终全量测试数
+以实际提交的 CI/交付记录为准。

+# Figma 产品功能 → 后端实现可追踪矩阵
+
+## 1. 范围与判定规则
+
+本矩阵以 Figma [New RAG](https://www.figma.com/design/zYPtyGZwoiYmfeWOLRdWl0/New-RAG?node-id=1-50&p=f) 的产品功能拓扑为需求输入，追踪：
+
+`Figma 产品功能 → 后端需求 → 当前实现/代码证据 → 缺口 → 修复/验证 → 状态`
+
+本仓库是 **纯后端服务**。所有“修复”仅包含后端 schema、repository、route、worker、鉴权、索引、检索编排、测试与文档；不在本仓库开发页面、组件、样式、前端 API client 或 BFF。Figma 中纯视觉、交互展示状态若不需要跨请求保存、权限判断或后台任务，不会被错误转换成后端任务。
+
+审查基线：2026-07-15，分支 `codex/figma-backend-alignment`。状态以包含本矩阵的提交为准；每次实现变更必须同步更新稳定 ID 和测试证据。
+
+状态定义：
+
+- `已完成`：已有可运行代码和对应测试证据，当前产品契约在该行范围内闭环。
+- `部分完成`：已有可复用能力，但尚未满足该行完整产品契约。
+- `本批修复中`：当前迭代已有代码变更，但尚未完成全量验证、提交或运行时闭环。
+- `未实现`：没有可供产品调用的完整后端能力。
+- `后续迭代`：已明确需求和验收条件，但不属于当前批次。
+
+优先级定义：`P0` 为安全、数据隔离或核心检索语义错误；`P1` 为主流程缺失或配置不生效；`P2` 为运营、可观测性或体验增强。
+
+## 2. 三种检索模式的产品契约与当前结论
+
+这里的 `Summary` 指 **PageIndex/DocumentOutline 节点生成的摘要**，不是必须另建一套独立的 synthetic `SummaryTree` 索引。除非产品后来明确增加第二套 SummaryTree，否则不应把实验性 `createSummaryTreeRetrievalPath` 接入生产来冒充 PageIndex。
+
+`auto` 是公开的**模式路由选择器**，不是第四条检索执行管线。只有请求显式传入
+`mode=auto` 时，后端才会使用知识空间 frozen published profile 的 `reasoningModel`，经
+plugin-daemon 选择下表三条管线之一；省略 `mode` 直接使用 `defaultMode`。路由不再根据
+CJK/混合语言、查询长度、词数或“分析/解释/研究/证据”等关键词做硬编码判断；模型调用
+失败或输出无效时安全降级到同一 published profile 的 `defaultMode`。
+
+| 模式 | 产品契约 | 当前结论 | 主要缺口 |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Fast | 普通混合召回（dense + FTS）→ 候选去重/融合 → 一次最终 rerank → Top K/Threshold | 查询边界固定一次 published head/profile tuple；dense/FTS 只读该 publication 的 ready member，按 nodeId 做 RRF 合并，再执行一次最终 rerank、mode-final threshold 与 Top K；进入检索前统一校验 space member/API Access，并把服务端 candidate grants 用于 SQL 与应用层 ACL；缺 verified embedding、已启用的 reranker、权限快照或 published snapshot 均 fail closed；TiDB FTS 使用 indexed postings，不做字符串全表扫描 | 当前产品契约已闭环 |
+| Research | PageIndex 的 Summary / Outline 检索与树导航；不依赖 Graph；不应错误走普通混合 + Graph | 绕过普通 hybrid seed，在 immutable published PageIndex 上从 exact-term 索引独立召回 Summary/Outline，按 normalized `[0,1]` score 排序、threshold、Top K 后打开 leaf evidence；Graph、普通 dense/FTS、普通 reranker 调用均为 0；reasoning model 只用于最终回答与 ingestion-time Summary/Outline enhancer，模型变化会重建 PageIndex | 当前产品契约已闭环 |
+| Deep | 普通混合召回 + Graph 扩展 → 合并全部候选 → 一次统一 rerank → Top K/Threshold | 固定同一 published head/profile tuple，先 dense+FTS/RRF，再按同一 publication 的 Graph member/entity/relation/source-node/ACL 闭包扩展和二次召回，最后只执行一次统一 rerank、threshold 与 Top K；Graph capability 缺失只让 Deep fail closed，不影响 Fast/Research | 当前产品契约已闭环 |

+
+## 10. 后端实施结果与验证轨迹
+
+本节只追踪后端检索、索引与发布一致性，不包含任何前端实现。当前已经落地：
+
+1. `RET-002～RET-004`：Fast 严格执行 published dense + indexed FTS → RRF merge → 一次 rerank → threshold → Top K；缺关键 capability/snapshot/permission 时 fail closed。
+2. `RET-005～RET-008`：Research 使用 generation-scoped Outline/Summary 与 flattened PageIndex；独立 exact-term 召回，不依赖 hybrid seed，不访问 Graph，不调用普通 reranker。
+3. `RET-009～RET-011`：Deep 严格执行 published dense+FTS → published Graph expansion/second recall → merge → 一次统一 rerank；Graph capability 缺失只让 Deep fail closed。
+4. `RET-012/RET-013`：Top K 与 mode-final `[0,1]` threshold 在三种模式的正确最终阶段执行，过滤后的 evidence 不会被 answer generator 绕过。
+5. `DOC-005/DOC-010/RET-020`：query-start immutable publication snapshot、candidate generation、完整 member receipt、candidate-only evaluation 与 head CAS 已接线；building/failed/stale/cross-publication 行不可见。
+6. legacy 空间 publication bootstrap 与 PageIndex upgrade backfill 使用 durable ledger、lease token、fence、retry/supersede；Research readiness 不会阻断无关 Fast 模式。
+7. TiDB FTS 改为 `(space, term_hash, projection)` indexed postings；新 projection 与 posting 同事务写入，legacy 数据由 per-space durable cursor/lease/fence worker 有界回填；Fast/Deep 在完成前返回稳定 503，Research 不依赖该门禁；不再使用 `INSTR/LIKE` 扫描。
+8. PostgreSQL 的最终 schema 是 typmod-free `vector`，TiDB 使用动态 `VECTOR`，均保留用户模型实际维度。已发布历史 `0001` 为保持 migration checksum 不变仍含 `vector(1536)`，但 `0002` 会在正式读写前立即删除旧 HNSW 并转换为 typmod-free `vector`；运行时没有 1536 约束。
+9. Publication 最终事务同时做 member receipt 正向和 generation node→FTS/dense/TiDB posting 反向闭包校验；legacy zero-document complete、PageIndex lease expiry、TiDB member mutation rollback/replay 均 fail closed。
+10. TiDB `0012` 对历史 TEXT key、generated column、匿名跨-generation unique index、CHECK/FK 漂移做无损前向修复；重复、孤儿或过长数据会阻止迁移，不会被删除或静默合并。
+11. `0013` 建立 tenant/space scoped member、visibility policy、API Access、hash-only API key 与 durable permission snapshot；所有 nested Space route 及 trace/job/research/snapshot/bulk 间接资源路由统一执行 membership/role/API Access guard，检索只接受服务端签发的 candidate grants。
+12. `0014` 将 Source 凭据切换为 opaque `credentialRef` + AES-256-GCM SecretStore；每个外部 secret 写入都先有 durable lifecycle reservation，Source/ref 的激活、轮换、撤销和 legacy backfill 使用原子事务及 lease fence；retired/deleted tombstone 会持续复扫晚到写入，connector 原始异常不会进入 HTTP、metadata 或 scheduler state。
+13. `0015` 将 Research job/outbox/partial result/progress 持久化；job 状态、outbox 与 progress 事件原子写入，worker 使用数据库 claim/lease/fence 并在 claim 与每个 next 前重验权限 revision；撤权、关闭 API Access、lease 丢失或重启时均 fail closed，公开响应不暴露 worker/lease/fence/ACL provenance。
+14. `0016` 为 public compilation job 持久化 exact requester 与 durable permission snapshot provenance；bulk/compilation get/cancel/retry 重验 subject、channel、snapshot revision、API key id/revoke/expiry 和当前 candidate asset closure。Document、Source、KnowledgeFS、direct Graph、semantic operator 的公开读写同样执行服务端 candidate closure，隐藏项不会通过 cursor、job 或 operator diagnostics 旁路泄漏。
+15. `0017` 将 Space/Source/Document 删除改为 durable state machine：请求先写 lifecycle/tombstone/job/item/outbox，worker 以 lease/fence/checkpoint 可恢复推进，并在完成事务内证明数据库、对象、cache、trace、evidence 与 publication 无残留。
+16. 所有生产对象写入均持有空间级 deletion admission；PostgreSQL 使用 `FOR SHARE`，TiDB 8.5 使用真实 `FOR UPDATE`，并在 identity lock 后通过 current locking read 检查 active deletion，关闭 RR 旧快照绕过。旧 compilation/research/sync/backfill/retrieval worker 同样受 tombstone、mutation lease 与 publication CAS 阻断。
+17. `0018～0020` 建立 immutable embedding/retrieval profiles、profile/publication binding、migration run/outbox/lease 和 legacy manifest backfill；当前新建/未激活空空间先持久化 pending model config 且零 daemon，首文档 durable compilation 再执行 catalog + active invocation preflight，将实际 embedding dimension/metric/vector-space 写入能力快照/profile 并绑定 attempt；已发布变更仍走 candidate migration，profile-less legacy 空间 fail closed。
+18. `0021` 建立 Source provider/connection/OAuth、crawl/import/sync/bulk durable workflow 控制面；PKCE/token 只存 SecretStore ref，provider cursor/Drive continuation token 透传，Source update 经 Logical Document candidate 与 publication 联合激活。
+19. `0022` 建立 Logical Document/Revision、processing task、chunk state candidate、metadata namespace 和 versioned settings/reindex；Document/Source candidate 写入与最终 publication 均重验 durable permission、deletion 与 candidate grants。
+20. `0023` 提供 Space icon、Overview stats/attention/activity/health；所有聚合在 SQL LIMIT/GROUP BY 前执行 tenant、space、subject 与 candidate-grant 过滤。
+21. `0024` 提供 Evidence history、bad case、failed query、Golden promotion、durable Quality replay/trends；创建/变更/replay 使用 fresh permission 与 deletion fence，worker 冻结 published profile/model/vector-space tuple。
+22. Dedicated Retrieval Test 使用与线上查询相同的 published snapshot/profile/grants/retriever，明确验证 Fast hybrid+rerank、Research Summary/Outline/PageIndex、Deep hybrid+Graph+rerank，并返回 bounded stage provenance而不泄漏隐藏 ACL 总量。
+23. 显式 Auto 在 Query/Research/MCP 请求边界通过空间 frozen published reasoning model 选择
+    Fast/Research/Deep；省略 mode 直接使用 defaultMode。旧 CJK/混合语言、长度、词数与关键词
+    heuristic 已从 planner 删除，LLM 失败安全降级到 frozen default，并在 `query.route` 记录
+    脱敏 provenance；durable Research 只判断一次并持久化 concrete mode。
+
+I1/I2 历史批次验证证据（保留用于审计实施轨迹）：
+
+- API：`1892 passed / 3 skipped`；API app：`153 passed`；Database：`43 passed`；Adapters：`116 passed / 1 skipped`；Core：`49 passed`；Embeddings：`26 passed`；workspace `pnpm test`（20/20 tasks）、`pnpm typecheck`（20/20 tasks）与 Swagger 测试均通过。
+- PostgreSQL 16 + pgvector 与 TiDB 8.5 均从空库顺序执行 `0001 → 0017` 成功；整份 `0017` replay 与 migration artifact drift check 均成功。manifest 最终只保留 tenant + space 复合 FK；历史跨租户错配会阻断迁移。两种数据库的 writer-first、delete-commit-first、delete-rollback-first 锁序均通过真实并发验收。
+- PostgreSQL 实探针覆盖 Fast/Research/Deep 的 publication/member/generation/ACL 负向；TiDB 实探针覆盖 old-TEXT 升级、durable FTS discovery/lease/cursor/final closure、publication member rollback/idempotent replay、lookup index、CHECK 与跨空间复合 FK。
+- workspace typecheck、migration artifact check、Biome 与 `git diff --check` 通过。
+
+上述测试数字只对应当时的 I1/I2 历史快照，不代表最终提交的测试总数。I3～I8 已按第 17～23 项完成；包含本矩阵的最终提交以 `figma-backend-iteration-plan.md` 最新执行记录、migration artifact check、全 workspace test/typecheck 和定向 PG/TiDB 验证为权威证据。

+# KnowledgeFS Operator Manual
+
+This manual is for people running KnowledgeFS in development, staging, or production. It complements the API reference and deployment guide with daily operating procedures, quality gates, incident response, and performance guardrails.
+
+## Operating Model
+
+KnowledgeFS is split into independently observable services:
+
+| Service | Responsibility |
+|---|---|
+| Admin Console | Human workflows, upload/evaluation dashboards, Retrieval Studio, trace diagnostics. |
+| Hono API | Auth, ingestion, retrieval, KnowledgeFS, queries, evaluation routes, traces, MCP tools. |
+| Database | Tenant-scoped metadata, generated artifacts, nodes, projections, traces, evaluation data. |
+| Object storage | Raw uploaded document bytes. |
+| Parser service | Unstructured-compatible parsing for complex document formats. |
+| Queue runtime | Async document compilation, bulk jobs, cleanup, and research work when configured. |
+| TypeScript compute | Pure bounded compute: chunking, token counting, RRF, packing, diff. |
+
+The Admin Console must not bypass the Hono API for business data. The API is the security and tenant boundary.
+
+## Daily Health Checks
+
+Run these at the start of each operating day and after each deployment:
+
+```bash
+curl -fsS "$API/health"
+curl -fsS "$API/openapi.json" >/dev/null
+pnpm eval:regression
+```
+
+For Standalone environments:
+
+```bash
+docker compose --env-file infra/local/.env -f infra/local/compose.yaml --profile apps ps
+docker compose --env-file infra/local/.env.example -f infra/local/compose.yaml --profile apps config >/dev/null
+```
+
+Expected health:
+
+- API returns healthy platform adapter status.
+- Parser, embedding, LLM, reranker, object storage, database, cache, and job components are either healthy or explicitly marked unavailable for the environment.
+- Retrieval regression gate passes recall, citation-hit, no-answer, citation accuracy, and faithfulness thresholds.
+
+## Release Checklist
+
+Before promoting a release candidate:
+
+```bash
+pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
+pnpm check
+pnpm build
+pnpm lint
+pnpm compose:config
+docker compose --env-file infra/local/.env.example -f infra/local/compose.yaml --profile apps config
+pnpm docker:api:build
+pnpm docker:api:bundle-smoke
+git diff --check
+```
+
+`docker:api:bundle-smoke` deliberately starts the built API bundle with `NODE_ENV=test`. It proves
+that the container can boot, serve `/health`, and report `components.compute === true`; it does not
+exercise production fail-closed startup, database repositories, durable compilation, object
+storage, or providers. Production promotion still requires the deployed/Compose-backed health and
+tenant-scoped upload/query checks below. The legacy `docker:api:http-smoke` command is only an alias
+for this isolated check.
+
+Confirm:
+
+- `.harness/changes` contains the change record for the release slice.
+- `.harness/docs/TEMP-progress-document.md` records RED/GREEN verification and commit count.
+- TypeScript compute tests and coverage gates passed.
+- Database migration drift check passed.
+- The implementation commit count since the latest review checkpoint is below 10, or the mandatory health review has been completed.
+
+## Tenant And Auth Operations
+
+Business routes require bearer auth. A valid subject includes `subjectId`, `tenantId`, and `scopes`.
+
+Use scoped test tokens for smoke checks:
+
+- `knowledge-spaces:read` for read-only checks.
+- `knowledge-spaces:write` for upload and mutation checks.
+- `knowledge-spaces:*` only for trusted administrative smoke flows.
+
+Operational rules:
+
+- Never put `tenantId` in client requests expecting it to be trusted.
+- Treat cross-tenant 404s as expected behavior.
+- Rotate `AUTH_JWT_SECRET` or provider secrets through the environment secret manager, not through committed files.
+- Never log bearer tokens.
+
+## Ingestion Operations
+
+Single-file ingestion:
+
+1. Create or choose a KnowledgeSpace.
+   - For a new space, select its plugin-daemon `pluginId`, `provider`, and embedding `model` at
+     creation time or with `PUT /knowledge-spaces/{id}/embedding-profile` before uploading data.
+   - Do not configure a vector dimension; it is observed from the selected model and persisted by
+     the service. Select the profile before the first ingestion. Ingestion atomically freezes the
+     profile, and any later change requires the reindex/publish workflow (even if that first upload
+     subsequently fails).
+   - When rolling this admission-latch release into an existing cluster, drain older ingestion
+     instances before enabling profile updates; older binaries do not stamp the latch.
+2. Upload `multipart/form-data` field `file` to `/knowledge-spaces/{id}/documents`.
+3. Check response:
+   - `201` means synchronous MVP parsing completed.
+   - `202` means async compilation was queued.
+   - `500` with `Document parsing failed` means the raw object and asset should remain for retry or diagnostics.
+4. Fetch `/knowledge-spaces/{id}/documents/{documentId}`.
+5. Fetch `/knowledge-spaces/{id}/documents/{documentId}/parse-artifacts/{version}` when parsed.
+
+Bulk ingestion:
+
+- Keep file count and total byte size within configured limits.
+- Use bulk upload when document compilation jobs are configured.
+- Monitor `bulkJobId` and per-document status URLs.
+- If a bulk upload fails after object writes, cleanup is best-effort; inspect object storage for leftover keys under the tenant/space prefix.
+
+Parser failure triage:
+
+| Symptom | Likely Cause | Action |
+|---|---|---|
+| `400` upload error | Missing multipart file or invalid body | Retry with `file` field. |
+| `413` upload error | File size or quota exceeded | Reduce file size or adjust quota after review. |
+| `500 Document parsing failed` | Parser or artifact persistence failed | Check `x-trace-id`, parser component health, and artifact repository logs. |
+| Asset stuck `pending` | Async compilation worker unavailable | Check queue runtime and job status. |
+| Asset `failed` | Parser/job failure or status update after job start failure | Reindex after fixing dependency. |
+
+## Retrieval And Query Operations
+
+Use `/queries` for user-facing retrieval plus generation. The endpoint streams SSE and records an answer trace.
+
+The service has three retrieval pipelines and one optional public router:
+
+- **Fast** runs ordinary dense + FTS hybrid recall, candidate fusion, and the configured final
+  rerank.
+- **Research** uses published Summary/Outline/PageIndex navigation. It does not run ordinary
+  hybrid recall, Graph expansion, or the ordinary candidate reranker.
+- **Deep** runs ordinary hybrid recall, adds permission-scoped Graph expansion, merges both
+  candidate sets, and then runs one unified final rerank.
+- An explicit `mode: "auto"` asks the knowledge space's published `reasoningModel` through
+  plugin-daemon to choose one of those pipelines. Auto is not a fourth pipeline. Omitting `mode`
+  uses `defaultMode` directly, and explicit concrete modes bypass the router.
+
+Auto routing is model-based; there is no CJK/language, query-length, word-count, or keyword
+heuristic fallback. On timeout, provider failure, invalid structured output, or model-identity
+mismatch, the request safely uses the published `defaultMode`. Treat repeated fallback decisions
+as a reasoning-provider health signal, not as successful classifier behavior.
+
+Operate with these checks:
+
+- Record `x-trace-id` for HTTP/log/OTLP correlation, `x-query-run-id` (or SSE `data.traceId`) for the
+  durable AnswerTrace resource, and `x-session-id` for session continuation. These IDs are not
+  interchangeable.
+- Fetch `/queries/{traceId}` with `x-query-run-id` or SSE `data.traceId`, never the transport
+  `x-trace-id`.
+- Use `/queries/{traceId}/evidence`, `/conflicts`, and `/missing` for bounded virtual evidence views.
+- Use the Admin trace comparison and failed query diagnostics panels to compare routing, recall candidates, filters, rerank changes, and evidence bundles.
+- Inspect the persisted `query.route` step when diagnosing mode selection. It records
+  `requestedMode`, concrete `resolvedMode`, `resolver` (`explicit`, `llm`, or `fallback`), prompt
+  version, bounded model/provider/usage provenance, duration, and `degraded` plus a safe error class
+  for fallback. It never contains the router prompt or raw model response and is not streamed as an
+  SSE event.
+- For asynchronous Research jobs, an explicit Auto decision is made once against the frozen
+  published profile during job creation. The concrete mode and bounded routing provenance are
+  persisted; queue retries, lease recovery, and worker restarts must reuse that decision rather
+  than invoke the classifier again.
+- Before deploying this contract over a database that may contain unfinished legacy Research jobs
+  with `mode=auto`, backfill each job to a reviewed concrete mode or cancel it. Workers fail closed
+  on unresolved legacy Auto jobs because replaying the old heuristic would violate the frozen
+  model/publication contract.
+
+Do not place raw answer text, document chunks, prompts, JWTs, uploaded bytes, or AnswerTrace
+evidence text in operational logs/OTLP attributes unless an incident-specific data handling process
+authorizes it. AnswerTrace itself intentionally persists authorized evidence text inside its
+EvidenceBundle, so apply the same data-classification and access controls to trace storage.
+
+## Evaluation Operations
+
+Evaluation quality is governed by:
+
+- Golden question CRUD.
+- Automatic question generation with human review.
+- Human annotation workflow.
+- Advanced metrics: context precision, relevance, faithfulness, citation accuracy.
+- A/B retrieval strategy comparison.
+- CI regression gate.
+
+Routine flow:
+
+1. Capture production bad cases from failed traces.
+2. Review generated or captured questions before they enter the golden set.
+3. Add human annotations for answer correctness and evidence relevance.
+4. Run strategy comparisons against the same bounded golden set.
+5. Promote retrieval or prompt changes only when `pnpm eval:regression` passes.
+
+Regression gate failures:
+
+| Failure | Meaning | Response |
+|---|---|---|
+| `totalQuestions below minQuestions` | Sample is too small to trust. | Restore or regenerate the evaluation report. |
+| `recallAtK below minRecallAtK` | Retrieval missed expected evidence. | Inspect candidate ranking, filters, index freshness. |
+| `citationHitRate below minCitationHitRate` | Citations do not cover expected evidence ids. | Inspect citation normalization and source locations. |
+| `citationAccuracy below minCitationAccuracy` | Judge found unsupported or wrong citations. | Review answer/evidence alignment. |
+| `faithfulnessScore below minFaithfulnessScore` | Judge found unsupported answer claims. | Review prompts, evidence packing, and generation model behavior. |
+| `noAnswerRate exceeds maxNoAnswerRate` | System is abstaining too often. | Inspect retrieval thresholds and answerability classifier. |
+
+## KnowledgeFS Operations
+
+KnowledgeFS routes provide bounded filesystem-like inspection:
+
+- `ls`, `tree`, `find` for navigation.
+- `cat`, `stat`, `open_node` for inspection.
+- `grep` for search.
+- `diff` for version comparison.
+
+Rules:
+
+- Always supply explicit limits.
+- Prefer `open_node` for citation-ready node inspection.
+- Use `diff` for troubleshooting stale or changed document versions.
+- Do not run ad hoc database scans to recreate KnowledgeFS views; use the bounded API or repository tools.
+
+## Storage And Retention
+
+Object storage:
+
+- Raw documents are stored under tenant/space/document prefixes.
+- Object metadata includes asset id, KnowledgeSpace id, tenant id, hash, and uploader when available.
+- Production should use S3-compatible object storage, MinIO, or R2. Bounded memory storage is for development only.
+
+Retention:
+
+- Use tenant-level and KnowledgeSpace-level retention policy routes to configure cleanup cutoffs.
+  The policy is declarative: verify that retention workers are scheduled and monitor their job
+  results, because PATCH does not synchronously delete retained data.
+- Do not bulk-delete object prefixes manually unless the database cascade state has been reviewed.
+- Use bulk delete APIs for bounded cascade tracking across assets, artifacts, nodes, projections, objects, and lifecycle records.
+
+## Performance Guardrails
+
+Treat performance regressions as correctness failures:
+
+- No unbounded list, dequeue, stream read, upload, provider response, or cache entry.
+- Every database read path needs an explicit `maxRows` or route-level limit.
+- Avoid N+1 queries; prefer repository methods that join or batch required data.
+- Cache keys must include tenant, subject or permission snapshot, strategy, model, and index versions where relevant.
+- Queue, retention, in-memory fallback, and Admin diagnostic surfaces must keep explicit max sizes.
+- Never add a hot path that fetches object storage bytes after upload when bytes are already in memory.
+
+## Incident Response
+
+Use this order during production incidents:
+
+1. Identify blast radius: tenant, KnowledgeSpace, document ids, trace id, job id, or bulk job id.
+2. Check `/health` and component-level health.
+3. Check recent deploy commit and `.harness/changes` record.
+4. Gather bounded evidence: trace, job status, document asset, parse artifact, KnowledgeFS `stat/open_node`.
+5. Stop the unsafe path:
+   - Disable traffic to Admin for UI-only bugs.
+   - Roll back API for ingestion, retrieval, auth, persistence, or queue bugs.
+   - Pause workers or queue consumers for runaway async work.
+6. Preserve data. Do not delete database rows or object prefixes without a recovery plan.
+7. Add a regression test or evaluation case before closing the incident.
+
+## Rollback Procedure
+
+1. Stop or shift traffic from the faulty service.
+2. Roll back API first for backend or data-path issues.
+3. Roll back Admin first only for UI-only issues.
+4. Keep database migrations in place unless a reviewed down-migration exists.
+5. Keep object storage data in place.
+6. Re-run smoke checks and `pnpm eval:regression`.
+7. Record the rollback in `.harness/changes`.
+
+## Observability
+
+Trace ids:
+
+- Every response should include `x-trace-id` for transport correlation. Query streams additionally
+  expose `x-query-run-id` as the durable Query/AnswerTrace identity.
+- Ingestion spans include bounded steps such as space lookup, upload read/hash, object put, asset create, parser parse, artifact create, status update, cleanup, and failure marking.
+- Query traces record evidence, conflicts, missing evidence, and generation metadata.
+- Query traces include `query.route` so operators can distinguish an explicit/default concrete
+  selection, an LLM Auto selection, and a degraded Auto fallback without logging query content.
+
+Safe attributes:
+
+- Route, method, status, tenant id, subject id, low-cardinality error class, job id, trace id.
+
+Forbidden attributes:
+
+- JWTs.
+- Raw file bytes.
+- Full document text.
+- Provider prompts or raw model responses.
+- Secrets or object bodies.
+
+## Admin Console Workflows
+
+Use the Admin Console for:
+
+- Upload health and retrieval preview.
+- Trace viewer and trace comparison.
+- Evaluation dashboard.
+- Retrieval Studio comparison.
+- Golden question management and generated-question review.
+- Human annotation workflow.
+- Failed query diagnostics.
+
+The Admin BFF is a thin proxy and must not become a second business API.
+
+## When To Escalate
+
+Escalate before continuing feature work when:
+
+- The 10-commit review cadence is due.
+- Coverage drops below 90%.
+- `pnpm check`, `pnpm build`, `pnpm lint`, or Compose config fails.
+- A change needs production secrets, live database migration execution, or external provider account changes.
+- A proposed fix requires deleting tenant data or object storage prefixes.

+# Production Deployment Guide
+
+This guide covers the two supported production shapes for KnowledgeFS:
+
+- **SaaS:** Cloudflare Pages for the Next.js Admin Console, Cloudflare Workers for the Hono Knowledge Gateway, R2 for object storage, KV for cache/session state, TiDB Cloud for relational search/index data, and Unstructured API for complex document parsing.
+- **Standalone:** Docker Compose or equivalent orchestration with a separate Admin service, Hono API service, PostgreSQL + pgvector, MinIO, Redis or bounded in-memory cache, and Unstructured API.
+
+The deployment boundary is intentional: Next.js owns only the human Admin Console and thin UI BFF routes, while Hono owns all platform APIs, retrieval, ingestion, KnowledgeFS, MCP, auth, provider orchestration, and persistence.
+
+Related operating documents:
+
+- [API reference](api-reference.md) for route, scope, and error semantics.
+- [Operator manual](operator-manual.md) for daily checks, release process, incident response, rollback, observability, and performance guardrails.
+
+## Release Gates
+
+Run the full verification set before promoting a release candidate:
+
+```bash
+pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
+pnpm check
+pnpm build
+pnpm lint
+pnpm compose:config
+docker compose --env-file infra/local/.env.example -f infra/local/compose.yaml --profile apps config
+pnpm docker:api:build
+pnpm docker:api:bundle-smoke
+git diff --check
+```
+
+`docker:api:bundle-smoke` is an isolated image-bundle gate. It overrides the container to
+`NODE_ENV=test`, checks `/health`, and requires `components.compute === true`. It does **not**
+validate production fail-closed startup or the configured database, durable compilation, object
+storage, parser, plugin-daemon, and model-provider dependencies. Treat the deployed SaaS or
+Standalone smoke flows later in this guide as the production configuration gate.
+
+Optional live storage smoke for Standalone object storage:
+
+```bash
+docker compose --env-file infra/local/.env -f infra/local/compose.yaml up -d minio minio-bootstrap
+pnpm test:minio
+```
+
+The bounded compute runtime is ordinary TypeScript bundled with the API; no generated runtime
+artifact or language-specific toolchain is required during deployment.
+
+## Runtime Configuration
+
+Shared API settings:
+
+| Variable | Required | Purpose |
+|---|---:|---|
+| `NODE_ENV` | Yes | Use `production` for deployed services. |
+| `PORT` | Standalone API | Hono API port, default `8787` locally. |
+| `AUTH_JWT_SECRET` | Production API | Shared secret for the current JWT verifier until OIDC/JWKS wiring is added. |
+| `UNSTRUCTURED_API_URL` | Ingestion for complex files | Base URL for Unstructured API. |
+| `UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY` | SaaS or protected Unstructured | Optional API key sent by the parser client. |
+
+Object storage:
+
+| Target | Variables |
+|---|---|
+| MinIO / S3-compatible | `MINIO_ENDPOINT`, `MINIO_BUCKET`, `MINIO_ACCESS_KEY`, `MINIO_SECRET_KEY`, optional `MINIO_REGION` |
+| Cloudflare R2 | `R2_ACCOUNT_ID`, `R2_BUCKET`, `R2_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, optional `R2_REGION` |
+
+Database and cache:
+
+| Target | Variables |
+|---|---|
+| PostgreSQL standalone | `DATABASE_URL` pointing to PostgreSQL + pgvector. |
+| TiDB Cloud SaaS | `DATABASE_URL` or future TiDB serverless binding once runtime driver wiring is introduced. |
+| Cache/session state | Current runtime uses adapter-backed cache. Use KV/Redis wiring when available; otherwise bounded in-memory fallback is development-only. |
+
+Durable document compilation is controlled by `KNOWLEDGE_DOCUMENT_COMPILATION_RUNTIME` and is off
+by default. Setting it to `on`, `true`, or `1` assembles the database attempt/outbox control plane,
+candidate-only worker/evaluator, publication coordinator, dispatcher, and runtime consumer. Startup
+fails closed unless database repositories, the compute runtime, and the per-knowledge-space plugin
+embedding resolver are all available; it never falls back to the legacy in-memory writer. The API
+and compilation consumer currently run in the same process. The remaining bounded settings are
+`KNOWLEDGE_DOCUMENT_COMPILATION_BATCH_SIZE`, `KNOWLEDGE_DOCUMENT_COMPILATION_LEASE_MS`,
+`KNOWLEDGE_DOCUMENT_COMPILATION_MAX_ATTEMPTS`,
+`KNOWLEDGE_DOCUMENT_COMPILATION_OUTBOX_VISIBILITY_MS`,
+`KNOWLEDGE_DOCUMENT_COMPILATION_RETRY_BASE_MS`,
+`KNOWLEDGE_DOCUMENT_COMPILATION_RETRY_MAX_MS`, and
+`KNOWLEDGE_DOCUMENT_COMPILATION_TICK_MS`.
+
+When database repositories are enabled, `KNOWLEDGE_DOCUMENT_COMPILATION_RUNTIME=on` is mandatory:
+startup rejects the unsafe synchronous-upload combination because it can only create legacy
+`NULL`-generation rows and no immutable publication head. `NODE_ENV=production` also rejects the
+process-local repository fallback. Migration `0009_legacy_space_bootstrap` installs a fail-closed
+ledger for every pre-cutover space. The runtime freezes a bounded document/version/SHA-256 set,
+rebuilds one document generation at a time, verifies the final publication, ready flattened
+PageIndex and FTS/Graph ownership closure, and only then opens query readiness. Intermediate child
+heads are intentionally unavailable (queries return 503); upload, delete, reindex, and ordinary
+compilation remain fenced (409) until completion. Operators can inspect/start/retry the tenant-
+scoped ledger at `/knowledge-spaces/{id}/publication-bootstrap` and
+`/knowledge-spaces/{id}/publication-bootstrap/retry`. Never delete or bypass a failed ledger.
+Document writes also hold a durable, space-exclusive mutation lease across object and metadata
+writes so snapshot capture cannot interleave after admission. These leases intentionally have no
+automatic expiry: after a writer crash, prove the process has stopped and reconcile its staged
+commit/object state before manually removing an orphan lease; time-based eviction is unsafe.
+
+Admin Console:
+
+| Variable | Required | Purpose |
+|---|---:|---|
+| `NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL` | Yes | Browser-visible URL for the Hono API. |
+
+## SaaS Deployment
+
+### 1. Provision services
+
+Provision the SaaS backing services before deploying code:
+
+1. Cloudflare R2 bucket for document objects.
+2. Cloudflare KV namespace for cache/session state once KV runtime wiring is enabled.
+3. TiDB Cloud database for relational tables, FTS-like indexes, retrieval metadata, traces, and generated artifacts.
+4. Unstructured API endpoint for PDF/DOCX/PPTX and other complex formats.
+5. Cloudflare Pages project for `apps/admin`.
+6. Cloudflare Workers project for the Hono API runtime.
+
+Run migration drift checks before applying any database migration:
+
+```bash
+pnpm db:migrations:check
+```
+
+The checked-in artifacts live in `packages/database/migrations`. Apply the TiDB artifact to the SaaS database only through the controlled database release process for the environment.
+
+Migration `0017_durable_deletion` adds permanent writer tombstones and the checkpointed
+Space/Source/Document deletion ledger. Deploy it in two phases. First, apply `0017` and roll out
+the new API/worker build to every writer with `DURABLE_DELETION_ENABLED=off`. Verify that no older
+writer remains. Only then set all of the following on the API deployment and restart it:
+
+```bash
+DURABLE_DELETION_ENABLED=true
+DURABLE_DELETION_WRITER_FENCE_VERSION=0017
+DURABLE_DELETION_HMAC_KEY_BASE64=
+```
+
+The HMAC key is part of the retained deletion/idempotency audit contract. Keep it stable for as
+long as deletion jobs, retry audits, or idempotency ledgers are retained; do not silently rotate
+it. Enabling deletion without the exact writer-fence declaration, database repositories, secret
+cleanup capability, or a valid key fails startup. Leaving the gate off keeps destructive routes
+unavailable while all read/write paths still honor any existing tombstones.
+
+`0017` also adds nullable tenant/space ownership to historical `evidence_bundles`. The migration
+backfills only bundles whose AnswerTrace/Research references agree on exactly one scope; ambiguous
+rows stay quarantined with NULL ownership. Before enabling deletion, run the bounded maintenance
+operation `purgeUnscopedEvidenceBundlesPage` until it returns zero, then retain this zero-result
+audit with the release evidence:
+
+```sql
+SELECT COUNT(*) AS unscoped_evidence_bundles
+FROM evidence_bundles
+WHERE tenant_id IS NULL OR knowledge_space_id IS NULL;
+```
+
+Startup repeats this readiness check whenever durable deletion is enabled and fails closed if the
+count is nonzero. Do not assign an ambiguous bundle to a guessed space; purge it and let scoped
+writers recreate future evidence under the exact tenant/space boundary.
+
+Migration `0005_publication_generation_nonzero` requires TiDB 7.2 or newer with
+`tidb_enable_check_constraint` enabled. The migration runner verifies both conditions before it
+executes the migration and fails closed when CHECK constraints would not be enforced. Configure
+the database cluster accordingly before starting the release.
+
+Migration `0006_document_compilation_attempts` additionally requires
+TiDB 8.5 or newer, `@@GLOBAL.tidb_enable_foreign_key=ON`, and
+`@@SESSION.foreign_key_checks=ON`. Version 8.5 is the first release where TiDB foreign keys are
+generally available. The runner validates these conditions before DDL, rejects historical
+Knowledge Space tenant IDs longer than 255 characters before narrowing the column, and checks
+`SHOW CREATE TABLE` afterward so TiDB cannot silently retain `FOREIGN KEY INVALID` declarations.
+Run migrations through this runner rather than executing the TiDB artifact in a session with
+different constraint settings.
+
+Migration `0012_tidb_baseline_repair` is a mandatory forward repair for TiDB environments. Before
+the first supported production release, the clean-install TiDB artifacts `0001`, `0002`, `0004`,
+`0006`, and `0007` were corrected in place to remove unsupported TEXT/JSON/expression/FULLTEXT key
+definitions and CHECK/foreign-key combinations. An experimental environment may already have
+recorded those migration IDs, so changing only the historical files cannot repair that database.
+`0012` reapplies every material type, generated-column, index, CHECK, and compilation foreign-key
+correction under a new immutable ID. Its PostgreSQL pair is an intentional no-op.
+
+Take a schema snapshot and a normal database backup before applying `0012`. The migration performs
+no destructive data cleanup: an overlong value, duplicate logical identity, or orphaned foreign-key
+row aborts DDL and leaves `0012` unrecorded. Reconcile the reported data explicitly and rerun; do
+not truncate values, delete an arbitrary duplicate, disable CHECK constraints, or turn off foreign
+keys to force the release through. After the runner succeeds, retain these audit results with the
+release evidence:
+
+```sql
+SELECT migration_id, dialect, applied_at
+FROM schema_migrations
+WHERE migration_id = '0012_tidb_baseline_repair' AND dialect = 'tidb';
+
+SHOW CREATE TABLE index_projections;
+SHOW CREATE TABLE knowledge_nodes;
+SHOW CREATE TABLE document_compilation_attempts;
+SHOW CREATE TABLE document_compilation_outbox;
+
+SELECT table_name, column_name, column_type, extra, generation_expression
+FROM information_schema.columns
+WHERE table_schema = DATABASE()
+  AND column_name IN ('model_key', 'publication_generation_key')
+ORDER BY table_name, column_name;
+
+SELECT table_name, index_name
+FROM information_schema.statistics
+WHERE table_schema = DATABASE()
+  AND (
+    index_name = ''
+    OR index_name IN (
+      'resource_mounts_permission_scope_idx',
+      'knowledge_nodes_permission_scope_idx',
+      'index_projections_fts_document_idx',
+      'graph_entities_permission_scope_idx',
+      'graph_relations_permission_scope_idx'
+    )
+  );
+```
+
+The audit must show `model_key` and every `publication_generation_key` as virtual generated
+columns; generated-column-backed identity indexes; no permission-scope JSON or `fts_document`
+FULLTEXT index (the final audit query must return no rows); exactly the three named attempt foreign
+keys and one named outbox foreign key from
+`0012`; and none of
+`document_compilation_attempts_document_version_ck`,
+`document_compilation_attempts_candidate_pair_ck`, or
+`document_compilation_attempts_candidate_checkpoint_ck`. The runner independently validates the
+foreign-key names/count and rejects `FOREIGN KEY INVALID` after all pending migrations.
+
+### 2. Build the Hono API for Workers
+
+The repository currently has the portable Hono gateway and adapter contracts, but it does not yet commit a Workers-specific `wrangler.toml`. Use this guide as the required shape for that later runtime wiring:
+
+```toml
+name = "knowledge-fs-api"
+main = "apps/api/src/worker.ts"
+compatibility_date = "2026-05-11"
+
+[[r2_buckets]]
+binding = "DOCUMENT_OBJECTS"
+bucket_name = "knowledge-fs-documents"
+
+[[kv_namespaces]]
+binding = "KNOWLEDGE_CACHE"
+id = ""
+```
+
+Expected Worker secrets:
+
+```bash
+wrangler secret put AUTH_JWT_SECRET
+wrangler secret put R2_ACCESS_KEY_ID
+wrangler secret put R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
+wrangler secret put DATABASE_URL
+wrangler secret put UNSTRUCTURED_API_KEY
+```
+
+Deploy only after the Workers entrypoint exists and the release gates pass:
+
+```bash
+pnpm build
+wrangler deploy
+```
+
+### 3. Deploy the Admin Console to Pages
+
+The Admin Console must call the Hono API rather than importing platform internals.
+
+Set Pages environment variables:
+
+```text
+NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL=https://
+NODE_ENV=production
+```
+
+Build command:
+
+```bash
+pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
+pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin build
+```
+
+Output mode is currently Next.js standalone-oriented. If deploying to Cloudflare Pages, add the Pages adapter in a dedicated slice and keep all core behavior behind the Hono API.
+
+### 4. SaaS smoke checks
+
+After deployment:
+
+```bash
+curl -fsS https:///health
+curl -fsS https:///openapi.json
+```
+
+Then verify a tenant-scoped authenticated flow with a non-production test tenant:
+
+1. Create a KnowledgeSpace.
+2. Upload a Markdown or HTML document.
+3. Confirm parse status becomes `parsed`.
+4. Run a query and verify citations, trace id, and session id headers.
+5. Confirm cross-tenant access returns 404 or 403 as appropriate.
+
+## Standalone Deployment
+
+### 1. Build images
+
+The API image is already defined in `apps/api/Dockerfile`:
+
+```bash
+pnpm docker:api:build
+```
+
+The Admin service currently runs as a Compose development container. For production Standalone, build a separate Admin image from the Next.js standalone output or run the Next server in an equivalent process manager. Keep it as a separate service from the API.
+
+### 2. Configure Compose
+
+The local Compose file already models the production service separation:
+
+- `api`: Hono API service.
+- `admin`: Next.js Admin Console.
+- `postgres`: PostgreSQL + pgvector.
+- `minio`: S3-compatible object storage.
+- `minio-bootstrap`: one-shot bucket creation.
+- `unstructured`: self-hosted parser service.
+
+Validate the resolved deployment plan:
+
+```bash
+docker compose --env-file infra/local/.env.example -f infra/local/compose.yaml --profile apps config
+```
+
+For a production environment, override local defaults with environment-specific secrets:
+
+```text
+DATABASE_URL=postgresql://:@postgres:5432/
+MINIO_ENDPOINT=http://minio:9000
+MINIO_BUCKET=knowledge-fs
+MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=
+MINIO_SECRET_KEY=
+AUTH_JWT_SECRET=
+UNSTRUCTURED_API_URL=http://unstructured:8000
+NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL=https://
+```
+
+Do not commit environment files containing production secrets.
+
+### 3. Apply database migrations
+
+Check migration drift in CI and before deployment:
+
+```bash
+pnpm db:migrations:check
+```
+
+Apply every pending PostgreSQL artifact from `packages/database/migrations` in migration-id order
+through the migration runner or the controlled deployment system. Do not apply only `0001` to an
+existing environment. Re-run health and smoke checks after migrations complete.
+
+### 4. Start services
+
+For an environment using the repository Compose file:
+
+```bash
+docker compose --env-file infra/local/.env -f infra/local/compose.yaml --profile apps up -d
+```
+
+The API service depends on PostgreSQL health, Unstructured startup, and successful MinIO bucket bootstrap. If the bootstrap service fails, do not start the API against a missing object bucket.
+
+### 5. Standalone smoke checks
+
+```bash
+curl -fsS http://localhost:8787/health
+curl -fsS http://localhost:8787/openapi.json
+```
+
+Run the same tenant-scoped upload and query smoke used for SaaS. Also verify MinIO bucket contents and PostgreSQL row counts through operational tooling, not through ad hoc application-side scans.
+
+## Rollback
+
+Rollback order should preserve data integrity:
+
+1. Stop traffic to Admin and API.
+2. Roll back API first if the issue is ingestion, retrieval, auth, or persistence.
+3. Roll back Admin first only for UI-only regressions.
+4. Do not roll back database migrations without an explicit down-migration and data impact review.
+5. Keep object storage data; do not bulk-delete uploaded objects during rollback.
+
+## Operational Guardrails
+
+- Keep API and Admin deploys separately observable, even when they are released together.
+- Keep object reads, cache entries, query context, and streaming responses bounded.
+- Use tenant id, subject id, permission snapshot, model version, and index version in cache keys where relevant.
+- Never expose JWTs, raw file bytes, document text, or provider prompts in traces or logs.
+- Treat missing database indexes and N+1 query paths as release blockers.
+- Run retrieval regression gates before production promotion.
+
+## Current Gaps
+
+The current repository has production-ready contracts and local/CI gates, but these items still need dedicated implementation slices before fully automated production deploys:
+
+- Commit Workers entrypoint and `wrangler.toml`.
+- Add Cloudflare KV and TiDB runtime driver wiring.
+- Add production Admin Dockerfile or Pages adapter configuration.
+- Add secret-management automation for each environment.
+- Add deployment pipeline jobs beyond validation gates.

+# Summary
+
+KnowledgeFS is a TypeScript knowledge platform for retrieval-augmented systems. It provides a Hono-based Knowledge API, a Next.js Admin Console, portable infrastructure adapters, virtual KnowledgeFS command surfaces, MCP tools, retrieval pipelines, parser routing, background jobs, traces, and bounded in-process compute primitives.
+
+The project has two intended deployment shapes:
+
+- SaaS: Cloudflare Workers, Cloudflare Pages, R2, KV, TiDB Cloud, and external parser services.
+- Standalone/private deployment: Node.js API, Next.js Admin, PostgreSQL with pgvector, MinIO or S3-compatible object storage, Redis or bounded cache, and self-hosted parser services.
+
+The system should be understood as a knowledge control plane and API server, not as a traditional L7 API gateway. The Admin Console remains a thin human-facing surface, while the Hono API owns auth, ingestion, retrieval, KnowledgeFS, MCP, jobs, provider orchestration, persistence, and observability.
+
+# Intent
+
+KnowledgeFS is intended to make enterprise knowledge assets usable by humans, applications, and agents through bounded, auditable, tenant-scoped APIs.
+
+The core intent is to turn documents and external sources into structured, searchable, citation-ready knowledge:
+
+- Ingest raw documents and external source objects.
+- Parse documents into stable artifacts.
+- Chunk artifacts into KnowledgeNodes.
+- Build dense vector, full-text, metadata, graph, and semantic projections.
+- Retrieve evidence with permission and freshness constraints.
+- Expose evidence through API, Admin UI, MCP tools, and KnowledgeFS-like commands.
+- Record traces, answer evidence, job history, and evaluation metrics for operations and debugging.
+
+KnowledgeFS also aims to keep platform choices portable. Database, object storage, cache, job queue, parser, embedding, reranking, and generation providers should sit behind adapters so a deployment can choose SaaS infrastructure or a private enterprise stack without rewriting product logic.
+
+# Goals
+
+- Provide a tenant-scoped knowledge platform for document ingestion, retrieval, answer generation, evaluation, and agent access.
+- Keep the Hono API as the main business boundary and keep the Admin Console thin.
+- Support both SaaS and private/standalone deployment modes.
+- Expose virtual filesystem-style knowledge inspection through bounded commands such as `ls`, `tree`, `cat`, `stat`, `grep`, `find`, `diff`, and `open_node`.
+- Make KnowledgeFS virtual and storage-agnostic: the backing store may be object storage, PostgreSQL, TiDB, index projections, or other repositories.
+- Keep chunking, token counting, RRF fusion, evidence packing, and text diff in the shared bounded TypeScript compute package.
+- Keep IO, orchestration, provider calls, HTTP, database access, filesystem access, cache access, streaming, and business state machines in TypeScript.
+- Ensure every list, search, queue, stream, parser response, cache entry, and object read is explicitly bounded.
+- Keep all business access tenant-scoped and permission-aware.
+- Make parser selection pluggable so Unstructured is one parser provider, not the only parsing strategy.
+- Keep background work portable through `JobQueueAdapter` and explicit state machines, with a future Temporal-compatible boundary available if scale or workflow complexity requires it.
+- Treat retrieval quality as a product correctness concern through golden questions, evaluation reports, regression gates, trace inspection, and citation checks.
+- Treat graph, vector, FTS, semantic, and summary indexes as rebuildable projections rather than irreplaceable source-of-truth data.
+
+# Non-goals
+
+- KnowledgeFS is not a POSIX-compatible filesystem implementation.
+- The project should not depend on FUSE as its core implementation.
+- The virtual shell should not execute arbitrary host shell commands.
+- The Hono Knowledge API is not meant to be a generic reverse proxy or traditional API gateway.
+- Compute helpers must remain pure and must not host IO, network calls, database calls, or workflow orchestration.
+- Unstructured should not be treated as a mandatory hard dependency for every parser path.
+- Inline in-memory adapters are not production infrastructure; they are development and test fallbacks.
+- PostgreSQL-backed queues are not assumed to be the right answer for every scale profile.
+- Workflow history, traces, partial results, parser artifacts, and projections should not be retained forever.
+- Database migration between PostgreSQL and TiDB is not assumed to be a trivial table copy.
+- The Admin BFF should not become a second business API.
+
+# Designs
+
+## System Boundary
+
+The system is split into an Admin Console, a Hono Knowledge API, shared core schemas, infrastructure adapters, parser adapters, compute runtime, retrieval/generation packages, and database migration artifacts.
+
+The Hono API owns:
+
+- Auth and tenant scope.
+- KnowledgeSpace and document APIs.
+- Upload, parse, chunk, and index orchestration.
+- Retrieval, reranking, evidence assembly, answer generation, and traces.
+- KnowledgeFS and SourceFS command surfaces.
+- MCP tools and safe-shell execution.
+- Job status, retention, cleanup, and background workflow state.
+
+The Admin Console owns human workflows and diagnostics only. It should call the Hono API and avoid importing platform internals.
+
+## Deployment Design
+
+SaaS deployment targets Cloudflare Workers/Pages, R2, KV, TiDB Cloud, and hosted parser services.
+
+Private deployment targets Docker Compose, Kubernetes, or equivalent orchestration with:
+
+- Node.js Hono API service.
+- Next.js Admin service.
+- PostgreSQL with pgvector.
+- MinIO or enterprise S3-compatible object storage.
+- Redis or another bounded cache.
+- Self-hosted parser service.
+
+The same API contract should be preserved across both deployment shapes. Runtime-specific differences belong in adapters and deployment wiring.
+
+## KnowledgeFS Design
+
+KnowledgeFS is a virtual filesystem model and command API. It exposes filesystem-like paths and commands over knowledge resources, but it does not require the backing store to be POSIX compatible.
+
+The virtual namespaces include:
+
+- `/sources`
+- `/knowledge`
+- `/evidence`
+- `/workspaces`
+
+ResourceMount represents mounted external or internal resources. A mount records provider, resource type, virtual mount path, source pointer, capabilities, mode, freshness policy, cache policy, permission scope, and tenant scope.
+
+Initial mount support should prioritize read-only inspection over mutation:
+
+- Upload and object-storage mounts: `ls`, `cat`, `grep`, `stat`.
+- Knowledge views over documents, nodes, artifacts, topics, entities, and semantic paths: `ls`, `tree`, `cat`, `stat`, `find`, `grep`, `diff`, `open_node`.
+- Connector, web, database, `sync`, and `watch` capabilities should be added only after bounded read behavior is stable.
+
+Safe-shell commands are parsed and mapped to command registries. They are not executed as arbitrary host shell commands. This keeps path isolation at the virtual API layer through tenant scope, permission scope, capability checks, allowlisted commands, explicit limits, object key prefixes, and bounded output.
+
+## Compute Design
+
+`packages/compute` provides bounded pure TypeScript implementations for:
+
+- Parse artifact chunking.
+- Token counting or approximation.
+- Reciprocal-rank fusion.
+- Evidence packing.
+- Text diff.
+
+All compute calls must have strict input/output validation, explicit limits, deterministic behavior, and CI coverage. Compute modules must not contain IO, networking, filesystem access, database calls, provider calls, streaming, or business state.
+
+## Parser Design
+
+Parser selection uses a router and adapter boundary. Native parsers should handle Markdown, HTML, and structured formats where possible. Complex layouts, OCR, and unsupported formats can route to an external parser provider.
+
+Unstructured is one supported provider, but the architecture should allow replacements or fallbacks such as Docling, Apache Tika, MarkItDown, or an enterprise-owned parser service. Parser services should run out of process with request timeout, response size bounds, retry policy, circuit breaking, and failure isolation.
+
+## Background Work Design
+
+Background work uses `JobQueueAdapter` and explicit TypeScript state machines. Document compilation, research tasks, retention cleanup, bulk operations, reindexing, and model upgrade workflows should remain tenant-scoped, idempotent, observable, and bounded.
+
+The current state-machine design includes terminal and non-happy-path states such as failed, canceled, paused, resumed, retry, and budget-exhausted cancellation. Documentation should show these transitions explicitly, not only the one-way happy path.
+
+Temporal is not a current runtime dependency. If workflow complexity or operational requirements require it later, a Temporal-compatible adapter can project Temporal workflow state back into the same job and bulk progress APIs.
+
+## Retention And Cleanup Design
+
+Retention must be treated as part of the core design, not an operational afterthought.
+
+Cleanup should cover:
+
+- Answer traces.
+- Evidence cache entries.
+- Terminal document compilation jobs.
+- Research task partial results.
+- Old parse artifact versions.
+- Inactive dense-vector and FTS projections.
+- Bulk job and workflow history.
+
+Cleanup jobs must use explicit limits, stable cursors, tenant/space scope, and idempotency keys. They must not perform full-space scans or unbounded deletes.
+
+## Index And Graph Design
+
+Dense vector, FTS, metadata, semantic path, summary, and graph indexes are projections built from source-of-truth records such as documents, parse artifacts, KnowledgeNodes, extraction metadata, and model versions.
+
+Graph indexes store entities and relations with tenant scope, source node references, permission scope, confidence, extraction version, and metadata. Traversal must enforce explicit depth, fanout, max node, and timeout bounds.
+
+Database-specific details should remain behind repositories and migration artifacts. PostgreSQL and TiDB differ in vector, full-text, JSON, recursive query, and index behavior, so migration between them should be treated as a rebuild/reindex project rather than a simple schema copy.
+
+# Open Questions
+
+- Should the external name "Knowledge Gateway" be changed to "Knowledge API" or "Knowledge Control Plane" to avoid confusion with traditional API gateways?
+- Which private deployment target should be treated as the first production reference: Docker Compose, Kubernetes, or an enterprise PaaS profile?
+- What is the first-class enterprise auth target after JWT secret auth: OIDC/JWKS, SAML, LDAP bridge, or a customer-specific identity proxy?
+- Which parser provider should be the default for complex PDFs and Office files in private deployments?
+- What timeout, memory, and isolation policy should parser workers use for OCR-heavy or malformed documents?
+- Which ResourceMount providers should be supported first beyond upload and object storage?
+- Should write-capable KnowledgeFS mounts be delayed until read-only inspection is fully stable?
+- What retention defaults should be used for traces, partial results, job history, parser artifacts, raw documents, and inactive projections?
+- At what queue volume should a deployment move from PostgreSQL-backed queueing to Redis, Cloudflare Queues, or Temporal?
+- Should graph index traversal remain in the primary relational database, or should high-scale graph workloads move to a specialized graph/search backend later?
+- What is the official migration playbook between PostgreSQL and TiDB deployments?
+- How should legacy tools that require real filesystem paths be supported: optional FUSE, sidecar projection, temporary workspace materialization, or API-only access?
+
+# Decisions
+
+- TypeScript owns orchestration, IO, HTTP, MCP, database access, storage, cache, jobs, provider adapters, and Admin integration.
+- Bounded compute is implemented in TypeScript and remains isolated from IO and business state.
+- KnowledgeFS is a virtual command/API surface, not a POSIX filesystem.
+- FUSE is not a core dependency; it may only be considered as an optional compatibility layer.
+- Safe-shell runs an allowlisted virtual command planner/executor, not arbitrary shell execution.
+- The Admin Console must stay thin and call the Hono API for business behavior.
+- The Hono API is the knowledge platform control plane and should be described as such.
+- Every route, repository query, queue lease, parser response, object read, and stream must have explicit bounds.
+- Tenant id, subject id, permission scope, model version, strategy, and index version must be part of data access and cache boundaries where relevant.
+- Parser providers are pluggable; Unstructured is not the only possible parser.
+- Background jobs use adapter boundaries and explicit state machines first; Temporal remains a future compatibility path, not a current dependency.
+- Retention and cleanup are required product behavior for production readiness.
+- Graph, vector, FTS, semantic, and summary indexes are rebuildable projections.
+- Cross-database migration should be handled through controlled migration plus reindex/rebuild flows.
+- Private deployment should be supported without Cloudflare dependencies through Node.js, PostgreSQL, MinIO/S3, Redis/cache, and self-hosted parser services.

+# Temporal-Compatible Workflow Boundary
+
+KnowledgeFS currently uses `JobQueueAdapter` plus explicit TypeScript state machines for durable background work. This document records the boundary that future Temporal support must implement without changing API, ingestion, or cleanup business code.
+
+Temporal is not a dependency in the current runtime. The active rule from the architecture notes still applies: use the durable job queue first, and add Temporal only when workflow complexity, scale, or operational requirements prove it is needed.
+
+## Goals
+
+- Keep application code deployment-agnostic across Cloudflare Queues, pg-boss, inline local queues, and a future Temporal runtime.
+- Preserve tenant-scoped, idempotent, observable background work.
+- Make long-running document compilation, reindexing, retention cleanup, and model upgrade jobs portable to Temporal workflows.
+- Avoid a custom workflow DSL or Temporal-specific imports inside Hono routes, repositories, parser adapters, compute runtime, storage adapters, or retrieval code.
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+- Do not add Temporal SDK packages yet.
+- Do not replace `JobQueueAdapter`.
+- Do not move database, object storage, parser, embedding, cache, or network calls into deterministic workflow code.
+- Do not put raw files, parse text, embeddings, JWTs, or large evidence bundles into workflow history.
+
+## Existing Runtime Mapping
+
+| Current boundary | Temporal-compatible role | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `JobQueueAdapter.enqueue()` | `WorkflowClient.start()` or `signalWithStart()` | Use existing idempotency keys as Temporal workflow ids where possible. |
+| `JobQueueAdapter.lease()` / worker polling | Temporal worker task polling | Temporal owns leasing; KnowledgeFS workers keep the same process entrypoints. |
+| `DocumentCompilationJobStateMachine` | Workflow status facade | API status/cancel routes should keep reading this facade or a compatible projection. |
+| `createDocumentCompilationWorker().process()` | Workflow orchestration + activities | Pure orchestration steps may become workflow code; IO-heavy steps must stay activities. |
+| Repository methods | Activities | All database access remains outside deterministic workflow code. |
+| Object storage, parser, embeddings, retrieval evaluation | Activities | Activities receive ids/object keys/bounded config, not raw unbounded payloads. |
+| `TraceRecorder` | Workflow/activity trace bridge | Propagate `traceId` through workflow input and activity attributes. |
+
+## Future Adapter Shape
+
+The future Temporal adapter should sit beside existing queue adapters and expose a small workflow runtime boundary. The interface below is documentation only; it is not implemented in this slice.
+
+```ts
+export interface WorkflowRuntimeAdapter {
+  readonly kind: "temporal";
+
+  start(input: StartWorkflowInput): Promise;
+  signal(input: SignalWorkflowInput): Promise;
+  cancel(input: CancelWorkflowInput): Promise;
+  get(input: WorkflowLookupInput): Promise;
+}
+
+export interface StartWorkflowInput {
+  readonly workflowId: string;
+  readonly workflowType: WorkflowType;
+  readonly taskQueue: string;
+  readonly payload: JsonObject;
+  readonly idempotencyKey: string;
+  readonly traceId: string;
+  readonly tenantId: string;
+  readonly searchAttributes?: Readonly>;
+}
+
+export type WorkflowType =
+  | "document.compile"
+  | "retention.cleanup.knowledge-space"
+  | "retention.cleanup.parse-artifacts"
+  | "embedding-model.upgrade"
+  | "bulk.document-upload"
+  | "bulk.document-delete"
+  | "bulk.document-reindex";
+```
+
+The adapter must translate Temporal handles back into the same status semantics already exposed by `GET /jobs/{id}` and bulk progress APIs: queued/running terminal state, cancellation state, retry/error detail, timestamps, tenant id, and trace id.
+
+## Determinism Rules
+
+Workflow code must be deterministic:
+
+- No direct database, cache, object storage, parser, embedding, reranker, LLM, filesystem, or network calls.
+- No `Date.now()`, `new Date()`, random UUID generation, crypto hashing, environment reads, or process-global mutable state inside workflow functions.
+- Generate ids, timestamps, hashes, and provider calls inside activities, then return compact results.
+- Use explicit workflow versioning when changing step order, retry behavior, payload shape, or compensation logic.
+- Keep workflow decisions based on JSON-serializable inputs and activity outputs only.
+
+## Payload Rules
+
+Workflow payloads must stay compact and stable:
+
+- Include `tenantId`, `knowledgeSpaceId`, `traceId`, job ids, document ids, version numbers, object keys, and bounded numeric limits.
+- Exclude raw file bytes, parse text, chunk text, embeddings, prompt text, evidence bundles, JWTs, and stack traces.
+- Prefer references over copies: object key, parse artifact id, node ids, projection version, model id.
+- Validate payloads with Zod or equivalent schema before starting workflows and before processing activity inputs.
+- Preserve existing idempotency keys for safe retries and duplicate submit handling.
+
+## Activities
+
+Each IO or compute boundary should be an activity with explicit timeout, retry, heartbeat, and cancellation behavior.
+
+| Activity group | Examples | Retry stance |
+|---|---|---|
+| Object storage | head/get/put/delete raw document object | Retry transient errors; avoid duplicate writes through deterministic object keys. |
+| Parser | native parse, Unstructured partition call | Retry transient provider errors; fail closed on unsupported formats. |
+| Compute | Bounded TypeScript chunk/token/pack/diff calls | Do not retry deterministic validation or resource-limit failures. |
+| Database | repository create/update/list/prune | Retry only safe transactional operations; keep parameterized SQL and explicit limits. |
+| Projection | embedding, FTS, dense index writes | Retry provider/network errors with bounded batch sizes. |
+| Evaluation | smoke evaluation and regression gates | Retry transient retrieval/provider failures; block publication on metric failure. |
+| Cleanup | retention, cascade deletion, trace redaction | Use bounded batch limits and continuation cursors. |
+
+Activities that can run longer than one worker heartbeat interval must heartbeat with low-cardinality progress such as `documentsScanned`, `nodesWritten`, or `projectionVersion`. Heartbeats must not include raw text or large arrays.
+
+## Cancellation And Compensation
+
+Temporal cancellation must map to existing cancellation semantics:
+
+- `DELETE /jobs/{id}` should request cancellation, not silently delete history.
+- Canceled document compilation should leave raw document assets queryable unless explicit deletion was requested.
+- Failed asset persistence after object upload must keep existing best-effort object cleanup behavior.
+- Failed parse/artifact/index steps should mark the `DocumentAsset` or `DocumentCompilationJob` failed with bounded error detail.
+- Publication workflows must keep blue-green behavior: build candidate projections, evaluate, then publish atomically or leave active projection unchanged.
+- Cleanup workflows must be resumable by cursor and must never assume a full-space scan is safe.
+
+## Workflow Types
+
+### `document.compile`
+
+Input:
+
+- `tenantId`
+- `knowledgeSpaceId`
+- `documentAssetId`
+- `version`
+- `traceId`
+
+Expected sequence:
+
+1. Load document asset metadata.
+2. Read raw object by key.
+3. Parse document.
+4. Persist parse artifact.
+5. Chunk into knowledge nodes.
+6. Build candidate index projections.
+7. Run smoke evaluation when configured.
+8. Publish or mark failed.
+
+All heavy steps are activities. The workflow records only ids, counts, versions, stage names, and trace correlation.
+
+### `retention.cleanup.knowledge-space`
+
+Input:
+
+- `tenantId`
+- `knowledgeSpaceId`
+- `requestedAt`
+- `maxTraceDeletes`
+- `maxProjectionDeletes`
+- `projectionRetainVersions`
+
+Expected sequence:
+
+1. Load retention policy.
+2. Delete old answer traces under `maxTraceDeletes`.
+3. Prune stale dense-vector projections under `maxProjectionDeletes`.
+4. Prune stale FTS projections under `maxProjectionDeletes`.
+5. Report effective session TTL without scanning generic cache keys.
+
+### `retention.cleanup.parse-artifacts`
+
+Input:
+
+- `tenantId`
+- `knowledgeSpaceId`
+- `cursorId`
+- `requestedAt`
+- `maxDocuments`
+- `maxArtifactsPerDocument`
+
+Expected sequence:
+
+1. Load retention policy.
+2. List document assets by stable cursor with `limit = maxDocuments`.
+3. Prune old parse artifact versions per document under `maxArtifactsPerDocument`.
+4. Return `nextCursorId` for continuation.
+
+### Bulk Workflows
+
+Bulk upload, delete, and reindex workflows should remain orchestration shells over per-document activities/jobs. They must keep existing progress semantics: total/completed/failed counts, failed item ids, timestamps, and tenant-scoped status.
+
+## Observability
+
+Every workflow start must include `traceId`, `tenantId`, workflow type, and low-cardinality route/job labels. Temporal search attributes may include:
+
+- `TenantId`
+- `KnowledgeSpaceId`
+- `WorkflowType`
+- `DocumentAssetId`
+- `TraceId`
+
+Do not include filenames when they may contain user data, raw text, JWTs, object bodies, prompt text, or provider responses in workflow history, logs, or search attributes.
+
+## Performance Guardrails
+
+- Workflow starts must be idempotent.
+- Activity payloads must be bounded; large content stays in object storage or database rows referenced by id.
+- Batch activities must accept explicit `limit` values and stable cursors.
+- Repository activities must use parameterized SQL and existing indexes.
+- Avoid per-row activity waterfalls. Prefer batch repository methods such as `getMany`, bounded list pages, and projection batch writes.
+- Cleanup workflows must continue through cursor-based pages instead of loading all documents/artifacts/projections.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+1. Keep the current `JobQueueAdapter` and state-machine implementations as the production path.
+2. Add a `WorkflowRuntimeAdapter` package only when Temporal is selected for a deployment target.
+3. Mirror existing worker payload schemas as Temporal workflow input schemas.
+4. Implement Temporal activities by delegating to existing repositories/adapters.
+5. Project Temporal workflow state into existing job status and bulk progress APIs.
+6. Run both runtimes behind the same conformance tests before enabling Temporal in production.
+
+The migration is complete only when Hono routes, Admin UI, and MCP tools remain unchanged while the background runtime can switch between JobQueue-backed workers and Temporal workers by configuration.

+
+| knowledge-fs component        | AWS service                          | Notes |
+|-------------------------------|--------------------------------------|-------|
+| API gateway (`apps/api`)      | EC2 (Docker container)               | `compose.middleware.yaml` minus DB/MinIO; runs compiled JS as non-root |
+| Document parsing (unstructured)| EC2 (same instance, Docker)         | ML image — size the box for it; can split to its own instance later |
+| PostgreSQL + pgvector         | **Aurora Serverless v2 (PostgreSQL)**| Standard TCP endpoint (not the Data API); `CREATE EXTENSION vector` |
+| Job queue (pg-boss)           | Same Aurora cluster                  | Postgres-backed; no extra service |
+| Object storage                | **AWS S3**                           | `MINIO_*` env points at S3; credentials via **IAM instance role** |
+| Cache                         | In-process (single EC2)              | No ElastiCache today — see [Open decisions](#open-decisions) |
+| Admin console (`apps/admin`)  | _not deployed in this topology_      | Optional Next.js UI; add as a second container if a web console is needed |
+
+## Environment wiring
+
+```bash
+# Aurora Serverless v2 — standard cluster endpoint, TCP
+DATABASE_URL=postgresql://:@:5432/knowledge_fs
+
+# S3 via the S3-compatible object-storage path. NO MINIO_ACCESS_KEY / MINIO_SECRET_KEY:
+# the EC2 IAM instance role supplies credentials through the AWS SDK default chain.
+MINIO_ENDPOINT=https://s3..amazonaws.com
+MINIO_REGION=
+MINIO_BUCKET=knowledge-fs
+
+# Unstructured runs locally on the same EC2 host
+UNSTRUCTURED_API_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8000
+```
+
+## EC2 metadata requirement for S3 IAM role
+
+The API container relies on the AWS SDK default credential chain to read the EC2
+instance role. Because the API runs inside Docker, the EC2 instance metadata
+service must allow the IMDSv2 token response to cross the container network hop.
+The Terraform EC2 resource/runbook must set:
+
+```hcl
+metadata_options {
+  http_endpoint               = "enabled"
+  http_tokens                 = "required"
+  http_put_response_hop_limit = 2
+}
+```
+
+Without the hop limit of `2`, a containerized API can have a valid instance role
+but still fail to obtain S3 credentials from IMDSv2.
+
+## Open decisions
+
+These are deliberately deferred until the Terraform code is written:
+
+1. **Single EC2 = no HA / single point of failure.** Fine to start. Scaling the API to
+   multiple instances later requires a **shared cache (ElastiCache)** because the cache is
+   in-process today, and cache keys carry tenant + permission scope.
+2. **Aurora SSL.** If the cluster parameter group sets `rds.force_ssl`, either use
+   `?sslmode=no-verify` or front the cluster with **RDS Proxy** (which also smooths
+   Serverless v2 connection scaling). Full CA verification needs a small adapter change.
+3. **Admin console placement** — skip, co-locate on the EC2 host, or run separately.
+4. **Compute choice** — plain EC2 + Docker for now; ECS Fargate / App Runner are
+   alternatives if container orchestration becomes preferable.

+# Local Development Environment
+
+This compose stack is the Sprint 1 local scaffold for the standalone target.
+
+## Services
+
+- PostgreSQL with pgvector on port `5432`. The `vector` extension is enabled automatically on a fresh data volume by `infra/local/postgres-init/01-enable-pgvector.sql` (mounted into `/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d`), so `pnpm local:db:migrate` succeeds without a manual step.
+- MinIO S3-compatible object storage on ports `9000` and `9001`.
+- A one-shot MinIO bootstrap container that creates `${MINIO_BUCKET:-knowledge-fs}`.
+- Self-hosted Unstructured API on port `8000`.
+- Optional API and Admin app containers behind the `apps` profile.
+
+## Commands
+
+```bash
+pnpm dev:infra
+```
+
+Starts PostgreSQL, MinIO, the MinIO bucket bootstrap, and Unstructured from `infra/local/compose.middleware.yaml`.
+This is the preferred local mode when the API and Admin Console should run from the checked-out source tree on the host.
+
+```bash
+pnpm local:db:migrate
+```
+
+Applies checked-in PostgreSQL migrations to the configured `DATABASE_URL` before running the source API against database-backed repositories. Migrations are **not** run by the API container, the Docker entrypoint, or on server startup — run this explicitly after the database is up. The initial migration relies on the `vector` extension; on a fresh volume the init script above provides it. If your Postgres volume predates that script, enable it once with:
+
+```bash
+docker compose --env-file infra/local/.env -f infra/local/compose.yaml exec postgres \
+  psql -U "${POSTGRES_USER:-knowledge_fs}" -d "${POSTGRES_DB:-knowledge_fs}" -c 'CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector;'
+```
+
+### Full Docker Compose startup
+
+```bash
+docker compose --env-file infra/local/.env.example -f infra/local/compose.yaml --profile apps config
+docker compose --env-file infra/local/.env -f infra/local/compose.yaml --profile apps up -d --build
+```
+
+`pnpm dev:stack` runs the same full stack in the foreground when you want attached Compose logs.
+
+Starts PostgreSQL, MinIO, the MinIO bucket bootstrap, Unstructured, the production API container, and the production Admin Console container.
+
+Default local endpoints:
+
+- Admin Console / control panel: `http://localhost:3000`
+- API health: `http://localhost:8788/health`
+- Admin BFF health: `http://localhost:3000/api/bff/health`
+- MinIO console: `http://localhost:9001`
+- Unstructured API: `http://localhost:8000`
+
+If a default host port is already in use, override only the conflicting port for the startup command:
+
+```bash
+API_PORT=8787 ADMIN_PORT=3003 UNSTRUCTURED_PORT=8002 docker compose --env-file infra/local/.env -f infra/local/compose.yaml --profile apps up -d --build
+```
+
+The API service is built from `apps/api/Dockerfile` as `knowledge-fs-api:local` and runs the standalone Hono server. The Admin service is built from `apps/admin/Dockerfile` as `knowledge-fs-admin:local` and runs the Next.js standalone server.
+
+If Docker Hub auth or rate limiting blocks another build and the app images already exist locally, start from cached local images without rebuilding:
+
+```bash
+docker compose --env-file infra/local/.env -f infra/local/compose.yaml --profile apps up -d --no-build
+```
+
+Use the same port overrides with `--no-build` when needed:
+
+```bash
+API_PORT=8787 ADMIN_PORT=3003 UNSTRUCTURED_PORT=8002 docker compose --env-file infra/local/.env -f infra/local/compose.yaml --profile apps up -d --no-build
+```
+
+Verify the full stack after startup:
+
+```bash
+docker compose --env-file infra/local/.env -f infra/local/compose.yaml --profile apps ps
+curl http://localhost:${API_PORT:-8788}/health
+curl http://localhost:${ADMIN_PORT:-3000}/api/bff/health
+```
+
+For the source-run local happy path, keep `pnpm dev:infra` running and start these in separate
+terminals:
+
+```bash
+pnpm local:db:migrate
+pnpm dev:api
+pnpm --filter @knowledge/admin dev
+pnpm local:happy-path
+```
+
+`pnpm dev:api` loads `infra/local/.env` automatically, so it sees the same database, object storage, and local auth settings used by `pnpm local:db:migrate`.
+
+The smoke command validates Compose config, Admin build, API health, Admin BFF health, workspace bootstrap,
+single Markdown upload through the Admin BFF proxy, document status read, parse artifact read, and a bounded query evidence
+check without manual database edits. Set `LOCAL_SMOKE_ADMIN_BASE` when the Admin dev server is not running at `http://127.0.0.1:3000`.
+Set `LOCAL_SMOKE_SKIP_ADMIN_BUILD=1` to skip the Admin build when you only want to recheck the live API/upload/artifact path.
+Set `LOCAL_SMOKE_RUN_MIGRATIONS=1 pnpm local:happy-path` when you want the smoke run to apply checked-in PostgreSQL migrations before API health, upload, artifact, and query checks.
+Run `pnpm local:happy-path:durable` when you want the smoke to require `DATABASE_URL`, MinIO env, healthy database, and healthy object storage instead of silently accepting memory fallback.
+Run `pnpm local:happy-path:api` when you want the same bounded API upload, artifact, and query evidence checks without requiring the Admin dev server or Admin BFF.
+
+```bash
+pnpm compose:config
+```
+
+Validates the resolved compose configuration without starting containers.
+
+```bash
+pnpm compose:middleware:config
+pnpm compose:middleware:test
+```
+
+Validates the middleware-only Compose file and asserts that it does not include `api` or `admin`.
+
+```bash
+pnpm compose:apps:test
+```
+
+Validates the full app profile contract for API image build wiring, middleware readiness dependencies, and the Admin source-run BFF base URL without starting containers.
+
+```bash
+docker compose --env-file infra/local/.env -f infra/local/compose.yaml up -d minio minio-bootstrap
+pnpm test:minio
+```
+
+Runs the live MinIO object-storage smoke test against the bootstrapped local bucket.
+
+## Notes
+
+- Runtime secrets are intentionally local defaults only. Put overrides in `infra/local/.env`, which is ignored by git.
+- Copy `infra/local/.env.example` to `infra/local/.env` for a fresh local setup. The tracked example leaves provider API keys blank.
+- With the default `infra/local/.env.example` values, source-run Node can use PostgreSQL through `DATABASE_URL`, database-backed core repositories unless `KNOWLEDGE_DATABASE_REPOSITORIES=off`, MinIO through `MINIO_ENDPOINT`, `MINIO_BUCKET`, `MINIO_ACCESS_KEY`, and `MINIO_SECRET_KEY`, and local Admin-to-API auth through `KNOWLEDGE_DEV_AUTH_TOKEN`.
+- In the full Docker stack the Admin container also receives `KNOWLEDGE_DEV_AUTH_TOKEN` so its server-side BFF can authenticate to the API. Because the Admin image runs with `NODE_ENV=production`, without this token `getAdminServerToken()` returns `null` and the token-gated panels (Control plane, Operations diagnostics, Publish readiness) render as "Unavailable". The default matches the API service so both resolve to `dev-token` unless overridden in `infra/local/.env`.
+- First run against an empty database: after `pnpm local:db:migrate`, the Admin Console still has no knowledge space, so per-space panels show "Unavailable". Create one (or upload a document, which bootstraps a space) to populate them. The default active workspace is the space whose slug is `workspace`:
+
+  ```bash
+  curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer ${KNOWLEDGE_DEV_AUTH_TOKEN:-dev-token}" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+    -d '{"name":"workspace","slug":"workspace"}' "http://localhost:${API_PORT:-8788}/knowledge-spaces"
+  ```
+
+  Publish readiness stays empty ("No document selected") until a document is uploaded through the Upload intake panel.
+- Dense-vector indexing/search is disabled until `KNOWLEDGE_EMBEDDING_PROVIDER` is set to `openai`, `cohere`, `voyage`, or `static`. Set `KNOWLEDGE_EMBEDDING_MODEL` when you need a non-default model.
+- For OpenAI-compatible embeddings, prefer `OPENAI_EMBEDDING_BASE_URL`; `OPENAI_BASE_URL` is accepted as a fallback and a trailing `/v1` is normalized before the embedding client appends `/v1/embeddings`.
+- The API production image bundles the TypeScript compute package, so containerized ingestion can create KnowledgeNodes without an external runtime artifact.
+- R2-compatible runtime wiring is available through `R2_ACCOUNT_ID`, `R2_BUCKET`, `R2_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, and optional `R2_REGION`.
+- The API and Admin containers run from standalone local images. Use `infra/local/compose.middleware.yaml` when you want middleware containers only and API/Admin from the host source tree.
+- Build the API image directly with `pnpm docker:api:build` and the Admin image with `pnpm docker:admin:build` when you want to validate Dockerfiles outside Compose.
+- The Unstructured API image follows the upstream self-hosted API image path.
+- The live MinIO smoke test is intentionally separate from `pnpm check` so normal CI does not require long-running local containers.
+- Run `pnpm docker:api:bundle-smoke` to start the built API image under `NODE_ENV=test` and verify `/health` reports `components.compute === true`. This isolated bundle check does not validate production fail-closed configuration or durable dependencies. `pnpm docker:api:http-smoke` is retained only as a compatibility alias.
+- Run `pnpm docker:admin:http-smoke` after `pnpm docker:admin:build` to start the production Admin image and verify the Next.js standalone homepage renders.
+- Run `pnpm docker:apps:smoke` to build both app images, run the isolated API bundle check, and run the Admin image homepage check. Validate production API wiring through the Compose-backed durable happy path and tenant-scoped upload/query checks.

+-- The pre-release TiDB artifacts 0001, 0002, 0004, 0006, and 0007 originally contained key TEXT
+-- columns, unsupported JSON/expression/FULLTEXT indexes, and CHECK constraints that TiDB cannot

+-- corrected before the first supported production release. This forward migration gives any

+--
+-- There is deliberately no DELETE, truncation, or duplicate merge here. VARCHAR narrowing aborts
+-- on an overlong value, repair guard indexes abort on conflicting logical identities, and repaired
+-- foreign keys abort on orphaned data. Operators must reconcile incompatible data explicitly and
+-- rerun the migration; a failed run is never recorded in schema_migrations.
+
+-- TiDB rejects CHECK constraints on columns participating in a foreign-key referential action.
+-- Older artifacts could only retain these checks when the corresponding foreign key was ignored or
+-- invalid. Drop just those known incompatible checks, using information_schema so the repair is
+-- safe to rerun and also remains a no-op on a corrected clean install.

+# Swagger UI (dev tool)
+
+A small, dependency-free Swagger UI for the Knowledge Gateway's OpenAPI
+document. It is a development helper only — it is **not** part of the API
+surface, ships no runtime dependency, and lives outside the pnpm workspace on
+purpose.
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+pnpm dev:api   # the gateway must be running (local source default http://localhost:8788)
+pnpm swagger   # serve Swagger UI on http://localhost:8088
+```
+
+Then open .
+
+Environment overrides:
+
+| Variable           | Default                  | Purpose                         |
+| ------------------ | ------------------------ | ------------------------------- |
+| `KFS_API`          | `http://localhost:8788`  | Gateway base URL to proxy to    |
+| `KFS_SWAGGER_PORT` | `8088`                   | Port to serve Swagger UI on     |
+
+## How it works
+
+`server.mjs` is a same-origin reverse proxy built only on `node:http`:
+
+- `GET /` returns a Swagger UI shell. The UI assets (`swagger-ui-bundle.js`,
+  `swagger-ui.css`) are loaded from the jsDelivr CDN, pinned to a version that
+  renders OpenAPI 3.1 (the gateway emits `openapi: 3.1.0`; 3.0-only builds fail
+  with "Unable to render this definition").
+- Every other request is streamed through to the gateway, including
+  `/openapi.json` and "Try it out" calls.
+
+Serving the spec from the same origin as the UI is what makes this work: the
+gateway sends no CORS headers, so a cross-origin Swagger UI could not fetch the
+spec or exercise endpoints. The proxy sidesteps that entirely.
+
+Note: the proxy targets `localhost` (IPv6 `::1`) rather than `127.0.0.1`. The
+gateway binds an IPv6 socket, and Node's HTTP client does not fall back from
+IPv4 to IPv6 the way `curl` does.
+
+Because the UI assets come from a CDN, viewing the page requires internet
+access at view time. No assets are vendored into the repository.
+
+## Tests
+
+```bash
+pnpm swagger:test   # node --test tools/swagger/server.test.mjs
+```
+
+The tests are hermetic (they boot a fake upstream on an ephemeral port — no
+network access) and run as part of `pnpm check`.

+// Standalone, dependency-free Swagger UI for the Knowledge Gateway.

+// It is a thin same-origin reverse proxy: it serves a Swagger UI shell at `/`
